Most of the news about Apple continues to be rosy for the tech giant, that is of course except for the recent death of its founder Steve Jobs. The stock price is soaring and every new gadget is met by hoards of techie lovers that have to be the first ones to own anything Apple, i.e. the iPad3. But along with the positive financials and popularity of their products is a report released earlier this year highlighting some shady goings-on in Apple factories overseas and working conditions that are not up to par.
Now an independent agency that Apple recently joined called the Fair Labor Association (FLA) a labor rights organization, will be doing a full inspection of the Apple suppliers and will report back soon on their findings. The main area of concern is a mega plant located in Shenzen, China called Foxxconn where the company manufactures components for all of their gadgets. The FLA plans on interviewing thousands of workers at the plants to check on working conditions, benefits, and access to medical and other professional services that were supposed to be part of their employment at Foxxconn. Apple is the most popular and most visible of all the tech companies that outsource the making of the components for their products but they are not the only ones and all have come under increased criticism lately for working conditions at the factories that do not comply with the company handbook.
For its part, Apple has always conducted its own audit of conditions at the factories and earlier this year they posted a report on their Web site that highlighted more than two dozen violations of policies meant to ensure that worker's rights were not being trampled under in the barrage of orders flowing in for Apple products.
Apple says that they have instructed their Chinese suppliers to give the representative of FLA their complete cooperation and they say that this type of scrutiny is unprecedented in the electronics industry. However, Apple management is also well-aware that the public perception is very important and they have gone to great lengths to stress their support for worker's rights and better working conditions in their factories producing components for their products. One Foxxconn worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that conditions at the factory were indeed harsh. She made less than $1 per hour for her work and that the owners of the facility work the women like men and they work the men like machines.
My take:
Apple can well afford to ensure that the workers making their products are taken care of and more than that, this is a tremendous opportunity for the company to be a leader in advocating for worker's rights overseas. Let's face it, they, and others like them only produce over there because it is so much easier and cheaper to make a part when you can get away with paying someone less than $1 hour while at the same time not having to pay attention to labor laws, environmental regulations, restrictions on polluting the environment. Maybe it's time for Apple to convert some of their wealth into a worthy cause that will benefit everyone, including them in the long run.]]>
There are all sorts of fad gifts that hit the market for Valentine's Day and the trend is continuing full force. Everyone is familiar with the Vermont bears, and the Pajama Gram, as well as a few other more intimate gifts for the little lady, but if you're thinking of her appetite, you might want to forgo the chocolate and order a heart shaped pizza; or get both. According to marketing analysts following advertising on Google the number of searches for hearth-shaped pizza has increased by 230% since January, a clear indication that the big pizza chains had better have thought of the novelty pie if they want to get in on the public's fascination for heart-shaped anything for Valentine's Day, particularly those pizza makers in Illinois, Texas, and California, which report the most searches for the love pies.
One of then biggest pizza chains in the United States, Papa John's, says that in 2010 they sold over 60,000 heart-shaped pizza pies and that in 2011 the number was probably similar. This year they expect to sell more than 75,000 of the novelty pies and they are marketing them big time to try to capture some of the dining-in business for the holiday. They say that the pizza is very popular with families that celebrate the day together.
It's no surprise that Chicago is a popular area for the Valentine's Day pizza pie considering their long tradition with the deep-dish variety of the American fast-food staple. One popular pizzeria in Chicago, Lou Malnati's, says that weeks before Valentine's Day their deep dish version of the heart shaped pizza becomes their most popular pizza pie and that now Valentine's Day is their second businest time of the year, just behind the holiday season around Christmas. They have been making a heart shaped pizza pie for the event for the last 22 years, when the son of the original owner came up with the idea.
They now ship their pizza's all over the United States in addition to their multiple locations in Chicago, and the orders for this year's heart pizza pies appear to be on pace for a new record.
My take:
I think its a novel idea for the holiday but I never thought that anyone could actually have the heart-shaped pizza become such a big money-maker. Chicago is the perfect location for the deep dish version of the pizza since it definitely makes for a much more dramatic presentation.]]>
Sometimes it pays to be a small, mom and pop retailer; or in this case, a husband and wife business. Jeff and Lynette Damir own a small Seattle company called Swaddle Designs, which today won the first ever license to produce Angry Birds children's clothing, taking the popular online game into the apparel business. Angry Birds is a video game that industry experts say has been downloaded more than 500 billion times since it first hit the cyber waves back in 2009. The Angry Bird franchise of products, which include t-shirts, toys and backpacks may already be worth over $1 billion.
The new line of children's clothing with the Angry Bird logo that will be produced by Swaddle Designs will feature baby body suits, blankets, swaddle and burping cloths. The Damir company has been in business for the last ten year and has 20 employees. Annual revenues to date have been in the neighborhood of $5 million but now the owners expect that sales could double with the addition of the Angry Bird line of children's clothing. Both Jeff and Lynette say that it is important for tto produce their products in the United State despite the hurdles that have to be overcome when doing so versus manufacturing overseas in countries like China, India, and Vietnam, where the rules are not quite as rigid and the regulations much more lax. Their products now can be found in many high-end boutiques as well as on Amazon.com.
The idea for adding the baby cloths with the Angry Bird logo comes from the youngest Damir, their daughter, who was playing the popular video game on her new iPad one day when Jeff Damir was keeping an eye on her. After finding out a little more about the game and the popularity of it, Jeff approached the company that produces it, Rovio, and pitched a line of baby cloths to the video game maker. The told Jeff that his timing was perfect and that they had been considering a business partner to put out a line of cloths with the Angry Bird logo. The owners of Rovio liked the designs that Damir sent as samples as well as the quality of the products they were already producing. Now they are bracing for a surge in sales and hoping that they can keep up. It will be a good problem to have to deal with.
My take:
You really do find that a little creativity and an idea can go a long way. I hope that this company can do well and that they will be able to produce most if not all of their products in the U.S. From the sounds of it I think they will make every effort to do so.]]>
Embattled former Penn State football assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, can visit with his grandchildren according to a ruling by a judge overseeing the case. The former Penn state assistant is currently under house arrest awaiting trial in the sexual molestation case that has surrounded Sandusky and the entire Penn State football program and university since the startling revelations earlier this year. Prior to today's ruling, the terms of Sandusky's house arrest prohibited him from seeing any of his eleven grandchildren.
Judge John Cleland ruled today that Sandusky can visit with eight of his eleven grandchildren while under adult supervision. The other three children are in the middle of a custody case and their mother has requested that Sandusky not be allowed to visit with her children. Others close to the case such as State Attorney General Linda Kelly said that she is opposed to Judge Cleland's decision and that Sandusky is lucky to be out under house arrest considering the gravity of his alleged crimes, 52 counts of sexual abuse. She went on to say that Sandusky should not be allowed out of his home, free to walk around the grounds because neighbors and a local school that have expressed their concern about Sandusky being out in public with so many young children surrounding their home.
Judge Cleland ruled that the state did not present any evidence showing that Sandusky tried to contact any local school children and therefore posed no risk to the community while confined to his home. He also ruled that Sandusky could receive visits from adult friends and family and that he can leave his home to meet with legal professionals working on his case provided that he advise an probation official about the trips.
Sandusky's trial is tentatively set to begin on May 14, and could go on for quite some time considering the number of allegations he is facing as well as the evidence that will be presented against him. Along with Sandusky, two other Penn state officials are facing charges stemming from the crimes committed by Sandusky. Tim Curley, former Penn State AD and Gary Schultz, head of campus police, are charged with perjury and failing to report a sexual assault of a child.
My take:
I guess he should be allowed to see his grandchildren as long as its ok with their parents. I would love to find out more about the one family within the family that doesn't want him to see the kids. It sounds like one of the Sandusky children is going through a divorce and the kids are being put in the middle of the fray.]]>
For the over 40 million Americans that suffer from environmental allergies of one type or another, the winter brings welcome relief. While the cold is not always a welcome breath of fresh air for many, for allergy sufferers the cold of the winter can provide some relief for the symptoms that may otherwise find them with a running nose, constant sneezing, itchy eyes, watery eyes, and other such symptoms of allergies. However, this year, most parts of the U.S. have enjoyed a relatively mild winter season (sorry Alaska) and while the lack of severe cold and snow is always a bonus, it also means that the allergy season is already starting for many, and that it could go on for quite some time.
Allergists and pharmacists around the country report that many of their patients tell them that their symptoms are already starting and it's on February. They say that they are waking up sneezing, at first thinking that perhaps they have contracted a nasty winter cold, but they realizing that it is their allergies come back for an early visit. Scientists say that the mild temperatures across the U.S. are the reason underlying the increase in allergic symptoms being experienced by so many Americans so early in the season.
A recent study in the Proceeding of the National Academy of Science shows that the ragweed season in the United States is now almost 27 days longer than it was in 1995, with most of that increase attributed to the warmer climate. Another study conducted on allergy symptoms by another leading research organization found that from 1981 to 2007 there was an increase in the length of the pollen season due mainly to a longer season because of later and later frost.
And its not just the allergy sufferers that have to be on guard. Doctors say that as the duration of an allergy season drags on longer and longer, everyone is exposed to higher levels of pollen for longer periods of time and as such many more people can start to become allergic to pollen and other allergy triggers where as they never experienced any symptoms in years prior.
My take:
I've been sneezing like crazy all winter and I thought it was just because I am allergic to dust. I'm going to take precautions and get my meds early this year and if necessary, get a shot of cortisone before I am a sneezing, wheezing, sniffling mess.]]>
The Obama Administration knows that as the economy goes so go the odds of the President being re-elected. And while the jobs market is moving in the right direction, it has been a slow go with unemployment still over 8%. But at the same time the recent rally in the stock market has Wall Street smiling and probably more than a few people in the White House too.
The recent rally in the markets to start 2012 is the biggest seen to start a new year since 1991, climbing over 7.5%. With an improving economy, at least in the equity markets, the chances of President Obama being re-elected have also increased. One interesting gauge of the President's chances for a second term is the bookmaker Intrade, which is based in Dublin, Ireland. Since the start of the year a bet on Obama has risen by 14%, and a lot of the rise has to do with the improving prices for global equities.
Online betting is a huge business around the world and the things you can place a bet on are as varied as you can imagine. While betting on these sites is severely limited in the U.S. and banned all together for sporting events and other such contests, that does not mean that others, outside of the U.S. aren't making book on all things Americana, including our elections. The price for a bet on the President has been rising and falling with every dip and upswing in the economy since 2011 and no doubt will continue to do the same as we move closer to the elections later this year.
Intrade has a very good track record for predicting the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, correctly putting Barack Obama into the pole position going into the 2008 election for most of that campaign, with John McCain getting no better than a 33% chance of winning at any time. If the odds maker is correct again, Obama is the lead horse; at least for as long as the economy continues to make the American public fell just a little better each day and that eventually the rise in the equity market will spillover into the jobs market. An unemployment rate dipping under 8% will be a tremendous boost to the President.
My take:
If it looks like the economy will turn around going into the election, the GOP will turn the presidential race into an battle over ideology, which they will probably do anyway. Even if the unemployment rate drops to 7%, they will find some reason to say that things are still dangerous out there and that the President is the most dangerous one of all.]]>
High schools students at Olathe Northwest High School in Olathe, Kansas have become something of a high-tech call center for the local police department. Four years ago, a robot used by the Olathe Police Department was rendered inoperable and has been sitting idle ever since. The robot, called SWAT BOT, remained in a closet for the last four years because the company that originally made the heavy piece of equipment was out of business and others contacted to try to get the robot up and running were unable to find the source of the problem.
The student resource office at the Olathe Police Department then got a novel idea, 'why not give a call over to the engineering teacher at Olathe High School and see if the students might like to have a shot at fixing SWAT BOT'. One of the students, Jordan Brouwer was particularly useful in getting the robot fixed because his brother is an engineering student in college, working on robotics, and he was home in Kansas for the holidays and lent the kids at the high school a hand.
Jordan's brother was able to easily understand the problem with the robot because he is working on defense type robots in school in Boston so the inner workings of the SWAT BOT were easy enough for him to understand and to then diagnose the problem for the high school volunteers. According to Brouwer, the remote was not connecting to the main brain in the robot. After a little rummaging through some home electronics lying around the students were able to construct a new antenna system that would make contact with the robot and get it rolling again.
For it's part, the Olathe Police Department has been trying to get the robot fixed for months but they haven't been able to find anyone that knew anything about this robot. Luckily for them they turned to the local high school, which just happened to have the perfect resource, a former student that is now working on high tech robotics in college. The cost? Well the police only had to foot the bill for new batteries.
My take:
The police were smart to ask the school for some assistance. I'm not sure where Olathe is in Kansas but you would think that over the past four years someone at the police department might figure out that perhaps a local college might be able to assist them with their technical problem. You can bet that if they need any help in the future they'll be calling on the kids…..rather than chasing them out of the park for a change.]]>
The financial markets around the world have been closely watching developments in Greece for any sign that the government is taking the necessary steps to deal with their budget woes. Today the Greek parliament passed a budget that includes severe austerity measures, which is being well-received by the global financial markets but not so much by the Greek people. After passing a bill that will help Greece to secure a bailout package from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, the government then turned its attention to rioters, who set fire to buildings in Athens and threw gasoline bombs at police in response to the measures included in the budget.
The new budget opens the way for Greece to receive approximately $170 billion in aid from the international community ensuring that it won't default on its debt obligations, which would've undermined financial markets around the world. However critics of the plan warn that the budget cuts, which included a severe reduction in minimum wage and the elimination of 20% of government jobs, will cast the Greek economy into a further downward spiral and condemn them to economic collapse in the years to come.
The riots in Greece are the worse that this country has seen since the financial crisis gripping their economy was first discovered just after 2009. Journalists say that at least 100,000 protesters gathered in Athens and set fire to 45 buildings in the capital city. Police tried to push the rioting crowds back away from government buildings but the protesters greeted the police with a line of gas bombs as they tried to hold their ground.
Both police and protesters were injured and hospitalized while violent protests also broke out in other parts of the country with other government buildings being set ablaze by angry protesters.
Greek PM Lucas Papedemos urged members of Parliament to back the austerity measures in the budget plan saying that failing to pass the bill would ensure that Greece would default on its debt and would be cast out of the euro. However, while the budget did pass, 43 ministers from both parties did not support the bill and therefore were expelled by their respective political factions.
In order for Greek to receive the additional bailout money, the international financial community made it quite clear that unless the government did something to close the holes in the budget the money would not be approved. The austerity measures called for by the international lenders will cut even further into a Greek economy that is reeling from high unemployment, higher taxes, and dim prospects going forward. Greece has been under heavy pressure to get its act together, particularly from Germany, which is the strongest economy in the EU and is one of the few countries in a position to lecture to the Greeks about their economy.
My take:
Things have always been a little dicey when it comes to the Greek economy. Even the way in which they first got into the euro seemed to be more smoke and mirrors than a healthy balance sheet. It is a shame that this has led to such violence but it always seems to be the case. It might not be long until we see similar events here in the U.S.]]>

Focus on
Waste, defined by Directive 2008/98/EC Article 3(1) as 'any substance or object which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard', potentially represents an enormous loss of resources in the form of both materials and energy; in addition, the management and disposal of waste can have serious environmental impacts. Landfills, for example, take up land space and may cause air, water and soil pollution, while incineration may result in emissions of air pollutants.
EU waste management policies therefore aim to reduce the environmental and health impacts of waste and to improve the EU's resource efficiency. The long-term aim of these policies is to reduce the amount of waste generated and when waste generation is unavoidable to promote it as a resource and achieve higher levels of recycling and the safe disposal of waste.
Main statistical findings
Total waste generation
In 2012, the total waste generated in the EU-28 by all economic activities and households amounted to 2 515 million tonnes; this was slightly higher than in 2010 and 2008 (2 460 million tonnes and 2 427 million tonnes) but lower than in 2004(2 565 million tonnes); the relatively low figures for 2008 and 2010 may, at least in part, reflect the downturn in economic activity as a result of the financial and economic crisis. As shown in Table 1, there were considerable variations across EU-28 Member States in 2012, both in the amount of waste generated and in the activities that mostly contributed to waste generation.More ...

OK, I really like this place and have been going there for many years (it used to be New Pasture) so I am surprised no one has mentioned it lately... OK they raised the prices but who hasn't, but it is still well worth it. I recently took a date there and she hasn't stopped talking about the Red snapper since. She is Dominican and knows a thing or 2 about Red Snapper. I recommend the place highly.

This place is a hidden gem that you might just walk by if you are not looking for it. We used to go to other vietnamese restaurants in the area, but now that we found this place we are not sure if we could go back to anywhere else. The fried spring rolls came with mint leaves and lettuce so you can wrap each roll with these and eat it. So delicious! I ordered Pho Chay, which was excellent. It's not the kind of place for a romantic date, but it's cozy and servers are friendly.
Posted by anon on 05/25/2009
Loved this place. Food was tasty and very fresh, service was friendly and helpful. I'm vegetarian, and even though they do have veggie stuff on the menu, they even made me stuff that was not on the menu when I asked what they recommend.

I used to love this place in the 90s, what happened? Hadn't been there in a long time, so took my boyfriend. He couldn't even eat the food. I have more tolerance and was so hungry so I just ate what they brought us which was chicken and broccoli that tasted like they boiled both and then threw some sauce on it, do they even have a wok back there? Shrimp was limp and tasteless. Never again. We had to get noodles from a street cart after for my boyfriend and they were much tastier.
Posted by SM on 10/23/2008
I love this place. I get lunch takeout here regularly and they are very prompt. Dining in is great too..I like the atmosphere. Most importantly, the food is great. Very fresh. I love the soups and the shrimp entrees. thumbs up.
Posted by donko447 on 10/21/2008
I've been going here for 6 years and its always excellent. Extremely cheap for the quality, and as I've eaten at nearly every other vietnamese place in the city, cheap and expensive, im confident in saying this place provides the most satisfying experience. As to the review below, they dont made a shrimp spring roll at Pasteur its called a summer roll. The reviewer clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. And if your food is cold, you send it back.

Installing your new Hi Stall Torque Converter
Fitting Instructions - Pre Installation Checks
Points to check before fitting your new Hi Stall Torque Converter:
Is your front transmission seal OK, replace it if in doubt.
Ensure there are no missing dowell pins in the block or bell housing.
Ensure flexplate has no more than .025" (.6mm) runout.
Check flexplate for cracks, now is a good time to check for worn ringgear teeth.
Crankshaft should not have excessive end float.
Pre check torque converter spigot depth, hold torque converter up to flexplate and ensure that spigot is going into the crankshaft sufficient depth to support front cover.
You now need to feel for three engagements as you push and turn the torque converter onto the input shaft spline, inner stator race spline and finally engaging the drive neck into the transmission pump drive gear lugs.
If engaged correctly, when you turn the torque converter back and forth you can usually hear a click click noise, this is the drive neck moving the pump drive gear left to right in the transmission pump housing.
When positioned up onto the dowell pins and bolted flush with the block, there should be a clearance of approximately 4 mm (1/4") between flexplate face and torque converter front cover adapter plate.
This can be checked by pushing torque converter forward into pump assembly and viewing clearance.
If for any reason there appears to be insufficient clearance, DO NOT FIT call 0800730430.

Did anyone ever inform Riley that he does not work for Project Runway, What Not To Wear, or America's Next Top Model, and that he indeed works for the New Orleans Police Department? And in that position, his job is to protect and serve the city of New Orleans, and not act as a fashion commentator? He could be just really confused about his job description.
And the NOPD wonders why it gets no respect.

So, the Neville brothers said negative things about N.O. I think as residents of a city seems to be stifled in its rebirth, they have a right to. How many people can honestly say that within the span of the last 2 years, that they haven't done the same thing? Most of it is posted (ad nauseum) on this very website!
I think it's great that the Nevilles are going to close out JazzFest. It's wonderful to know that a part of this city is sort of coming back.
Let those who have never, EVER griped about the condition of this city post-hurricane, and the slow progression back to a state of normalcy that only N.O. can understand, post the first negative comments.

EADS is hoping a newly approved joint project with Russian researchers will help pave the way to realising an air-breathing or rocket-propulsion technology that promises efficient operations from subsonic to hypersonic speeds up to Mach 5. But while detonation engines are tantalisingly simple, essentially comprising a tube closed at one end in which fuel and oxidiser are ignited to create a jet blast out of the open end, their success is to date mostly confined to laboratory testbeds.
A €1.7 million grant from Russia's Skolkovo Foundation, to be matched by EADS, is one of the first fruits of a collaboration deal sealed last year between EADS and a nascent science and technology city in the Moscow suburb of Skolkovo. The plan is to evaluate routes towards achieving a continuous detonation wave engine, and apply for further grants if early work is successful.
A detonation engine is a type of propulsion system that ignites the fuel and oxidiser mixture with supersonic detonation waves, which might be generated by the subsonic shock waves from an ignition process as used in a normal engine combustion chamber. As EADS chief technology officer Jean Botti describes them, detonation engines are believed to have a thermodynamic efficiency higher than other designs such as turbojets and turbofans because a detonation wave rapidly compresses the mixture and adds heat at constant volume.
However, while patents for detonation engines go back to at least 1960 and there has been considerable interest in them during the past decade, practical issues associated with initiating and sustaining detonation have kept them largely in the laboratory. Moreover, the continuous detonation engine (CDE) to be pursued by EADS and colleagues at Russia's Lavrentiev Institute of Hydrodynamics is a more daunting prospect.
EADS and Lavrentiev have done some preliminary theoretical and experimental work, though, and Botti says that, compared to a pulsed detonation engine (PDE), the continuous design allows an easier operation in a reduced-pressure environment and an increase in engine mass flow rate and thrust-to-weight ratio.
Botti is not alone in his optimism. The US military's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), in its fiscal 2011 budget request, notes that "considerable progress has been made and the technology is believed mature enough to enable a dramatic new system capability". DARPA envisions a hybrid engine, combining either a pulsed or continuous detonation unit with a conventional gas turbine to achieve speeds in excess of Mach 4.
To date, however, it is pulsed engines that have made the running, and in early 2008 an aircraft powered by a US Air Force Research Laboratory-developed experimental PDE even got off the ground for "tens of seconds". The sortie by a modified Scaled Composites Long-EZ along the runway at Mojave, California, showed that the aircraft and its pilot could survive the noise and vibration of the PDE, which had four tubes and a peak thrust of about 200lb (0.9kN).
According to the aerodynamics research centre at the University of Texas at Arlington, PDEs offer numerous advantages over traditional jet engines.
PDEs do not need the heavy rotors and compressors of a jet engine, and in principle can be operated from standstill, whereas jets need to be spooled up to build enough pressure for combustion. Also attractive is the simple layout of a PDE: a tube and control valves for fluid entry and exhaust. A PDE's theoretical efficiency comes from the higher pressures created by detonation.
UTA sums it up: "PDEs bridge the gap between the subsonic regime and the hypersonic regime, when scram jets and rockets take over."
However, it continues, it is difficult to achieve consistent detonations, or even to achieve detonation at all. There are competing concepts in combustion chamber architecture and much work to be done to achieve a practical engine - and CDEs, barely beyond the concept stage, are even more difficult.

In 1995 Rowland shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Mario Molina and Paul Crutzen "for their work on atmospheric chemistry, particularly concerning the formation and decomposition of ozone." Along with postdoctoral colleague Molina, Rowland, a specialist in atmospheric chemistry and radiochemistry, was the first person to warn that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) released into the atmosphere were depleting the earth's critical ozone layer. This finding, as the Los Angeles Times Magazine stated, "rocked the government, threatened a huge industry, and transformed global environmental policy."
His research in the 1970s eventually led to legislation in the United States, Canada, and Scandinavia regulating the manufacture and use of CFCs, and in 1987 to the Montreal Protocol of the United Nations Environment Program-the first international agreement for controlling and ameliorating the environmental damage to the global atmosphere. The terms of the Montreal Protocol were strengthened in 1992 to attain a complete phaseout of further CFC production by the year 1996. Consequent measurements in the atmosphere have proven that CFC emissions on a global scale have essentially stopped.
In addition to his work with CFCs, Rowland has been investigating the impact of methane gas on the environment. Over the last hundred years, the greenhouse warming contribution of methane has been second only to that of carbon dioxide.
In sum, he is the author of more than 380 scientific publications, including approximately 100 in the area of atmospheric chemistry. Besides the Nobel Prize, he has won many other prestigious awards, such as the Tyler World Prize in Ecology and Energy, the Albert Einstein Prize of the World, and the 1993 American Chemical Society Peter Debye Medal in Physical Chemistry. He also holds honorary degrees from seventeen institutions.
Dr. Rowland is currently the Donald Bren Research Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. He came to the University in 1964 as the first chair of the department of Chemistry. Previously, he has held faculty positions at Princeton University and the University of Kansas. He earned his bachelor's degree from Ohio Wesleyan University and his master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Chicago.
Professor Rowland's lecture is part of the series Urban Air Pollution, funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.

Huh. We've been pondering Mariah Carey's elementary school instruments version of "All I Want For Christmas" from last night's Fallon for a couple hours now and we are still a little unsure how we feel. Don't get us wrong; obviously, it's adorable. It's just not very Mariah.
The fact that the American Idol judge allowed herself to be shot with anything other than a telescope covering in Vaseline is surprising enough, but the fact Carey just ran in instead of descending in a sleigh… well, it's all very interesting. Makes you think. Of course, this wouldn't be the first time we'd enjoyed a slightly head-scratchy holiday video:
2) Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly, "Little Drummer Boy"
Ferrell and Reilly's rendition of the Christmas classic is clearly a spoof of the Bing Crosby and David Bowie original, but then also it's kind of good? We don't know what to think. On a semi-related note, Ferrell's hair is giving us night terrors.
3) Ke$ha, "A Merry Little Christmas"
A lovely tune, a man urinating into a snow bank: it's what perturbing holiday dreams are made of.
4) Stephen Colbert, "Another Christmas Song"

|A Colbert Christmas: Another Christmas Song
Leave it to Colbert to tear away the veil from the implicit commercialism of Christmas! Plus it's so catchy!
5) David Hasselhoff & Gwen, "Please Come Home For Christmas"
We're horrible people for being into both Hasselhoff's cravat, strange limpid eyes and that elegant pretzel banner behind him, right? God, we know. We're so sorry. Still, something for you die-hard Gwen fans out there!

This is the second post in the 1/2 Marathon being orchestrated by the Christian Marriage Bloggers Association. I have a bunch of questions left from the A Males Perspective teleconference I spoke at last week. As such, I'll be using this marathon to answer some of the questions I received. Please note, these are my perspective. I cannot vouch for all males and when I'm giving my perspective on women, I certainly cannot vouch for all women. So, on to the question:
Why do you think men think about sex more than women? And why is that so important to a man in his marriage?
So, I think the first question to ask is, do men actually think about sex more than women? There is a myth out there that men think about sex about once every 7 seconds while they are awake. This myth is false, I don't know who started it, or why and it doesn't really matter. What does appear certain is that, on average, men seem to think about sex more than women do. Researchers don't agree on how often, and it varies greatly from person to person. One study says 19 times a day on average, another says every 5 minutes for teenagers and every 30 minutes for older adults, another says that 45% of men think about sex less than once a day.
As for why, no one seems to have any substantiated ideas on it. Some blame society, some blame our brain configurations, some the way we were raised. I'm going to play the God card and say that I think God intended for men to think about sex more. We are both driven to connect emotionally, but in different ways, ways we both need in a marriage to stay connected. I'm afraid that's not a terribly satisfying answer scientifically, but it's all I have.
Now, on to why it's so important to a man in his marriage. At the core of a man's self lies his sexuality. Again, whether by nature (God), or nurture, it's unclear, but it is clearly there for an overwhelming majority of males. We view almost every interaction with our spouse through the lens of our sexuality which we take as the core of our self. So, by my perspective, if my wife is willing to have frequent sex with me, it means she wants to spend a lot of time with the part of me that is my core. If she wants to have passionate sex, it means she's passionate about what makes me me. If she wants to explore and grow in our sexuality together, that means she wants to grow and explore and have adventures with that inmost part of me.
If she wants to take a walk, regardless of her feelings, it does not resonate the same because there is no sexual component. There is a part of us missing. If she wants to have a conversation, again, it's good, it means she's interested in my mind, but it lacks that sexual component, so we still feel like part of us is left out. If we were going for walks every day, having great conversations every day, but rarely having sex, what I feel is that she is interested in having a body walk beside her (perhaps protection, or companionship), she's interested in me intellectually, but she rejects the very essence of myself, my sexuality. After a while, I would feel rejected as a spouse in my entirety.
It is said that women feel the same way about conversation with their spouse. No, don't get me wrong, I love conversations with my wife. She is intelligent and wise and it is a pleasure to converse with her about any topic. But, if we didn't manage to talk to each other for a couple of days, I'd miss it, but I would be climbing the walls for conversation. No, imagine the tables turned using conversation. Lets say we went for a walk every day, we had sex every day, but we didn't say 2 words to each other that weren't purely functional. My wife would feel rejected. She'd feel objectified as a sex object/walking companion. A core part of herself, her need to communicate, is being denied.
The biggest problem with this analogy: she can get deep meaningful conversation from another adult, regardless of gender. I cannot get sex from another adult, nor would I want to. I am 100% dependent on my wife for sexual fulfillment and when your wife said "I'm not in the mood", it means "I have decided unilaterally for both of us that we aren't having sex, no discussion." So many marriages exist in this state, of one spouse or another refusing sex day in and day out and then are shocked when the non-refusing spouse has an affair, or serves divorce papers, or gets addicted to pornography. Don't get me wrong, they have their own blame, but it's shared blame I think. You don't starve a person and then lock them up for stealing bread, you feel the person and try to fix the system that made them starve in the first place.
So, why is it important? Because a rejection of sex with a man, is a rejection of the man from the man's point of view.
Men: Do you agree, disagree?
Women: Is this a surprise, or did you know this?
35 Responses to Why Do You Think Men Think About Sex More Than Women?
ayup. you may not be speaking about all men, but I think you've touched upon a deep truth
I agree completely and no surprises here. I'm so glad that there are blogs out there that will speak the truth about this. I believe that women have been let off the hook in this area for far too long out of ignorance. Thank you for bringing it to the forefront.
Everything you wrote is exactly what my husband has told me except the part concerning the frequency that men think about sex. Now, that is a relief! Every 7 seconds seems a bit much lol!!! I like how you compared a man's need for sex with his wife's need for conversation. I can totally relate to that!! Thanks for sharing:)
I absolutely agree. Thank you. This is a message more women desperately need and deserve to hear more often – at least once for every time we men have to listen to the message about how it takes all day priming the pump to get a woman interested in sex.
Again, great article, however I think you're missing something. You are a man…you can't say why a woman is rejecting a man, or IF a woman is rejecting a man. You can speculate, based on your feelings as a man, and what you THINK she is doing.
Let me clarify – I'm not saying you aren't right…I'm saying you could be right in certain circumstances, but you won't know because you are not a woman saying no to her husband. Therefore you can't say that "a rejection of sex with a man is rejection of the man." That would be like me saying "a man thinking about sex more often than his wife does shows he is insensitive to her feelings." My statement would be wrong. I can't know WHY you think about sex more often, because I am not a man, and to assume it's because he is insensitive would be wrong of me and just speculation.
First of all, saying no, isn't ALWAYS a rejection. Often, yes, it is…but, sometimes it's a protection, a rain check, a preface to a suggestion of something different. Not just with sex, with anything. When I tell my child no, it's not a rejection, it can be many things, guidance, redirection, or yes, rejecting their idea.
What I'm saying is that women don't think like men believe we do, and as a man, you don't know what we think or why we say no. As long as the marriage is happy and healthy, when I say no, or when I don't warm up to the idea, it's not because I'm thinking "I don't want him to touch me, I reject him." It's because of another reason (usually a few put together, but sometimes just one), that if he asked without assuming, would probably make sense to him…and would most likely earn him an alternative to sex, or even change my desire and get him sex!
Regardless of how the woman intends it, the man is going to understand sexual refusal as refusal of his innermost self. Jay wasn't talking about the woman's feelings here, he was talking about the man's. Many women try and deny that, which unfortunately means that they are perpetuating the problem. To deny that it is rejection is to invalidate his feelings. Both men and women are responsible before God to learn to understand each other and meet each other's needs.
whoops, Melissa…I really hope you didn't mean to use the word "earn" with respect to sex with your husband. ouch.
"As long as the marriage is happy and healthy, when I say no, or when I don't warm up to the idea, it's not because I'm thinking "I don't want him to touch me, I reject him." It's because of another reason (usually a few put together, but sometimes just one), that if he asked without assuming, would probably make sense to him…and would most likely earn him an alternative to sex, or even change my desire and get him sex!"
I sure did…here's why. If I am not in the "mood" it's not because I'm just trying to reject him (even if he interprets it that way, that's not my intention). It's because of a completely different reason, like say being stressed, or having a bad day, or something with work, or feeling ill, or the kids etc, etc. So, if he didn't just assume I was rejecting him, and thought to say "hey, tell me what's up and why you're head/body isn't in it, what can I do to make you feel better." I would a) be able to vent and it would draw us both closer so he knows I'm not rejecting him, and I feel like I've been heard and he cares, and b) it would put me in a less stressed mood and more in the "oh he's so sweet to care and think about me" mood, which would get him some alternative to actual intercourse, or intercourse itself.
So yes his response could essentially earn, get, yield, whatever you want to call it, my desire to have sex. Sorry if you don't like the word. However it was not used in a context that he has to "earn" sex all the time…I was referring to THAT example.
JayDee – Great read. Thanks for trying to kill the every 7 second lie.
As to why, testosterone levels are a part of the answer. Give a woman more T, and she will think about sex more often. In large part this is because T drives visual arousal. Women with a lot of T (natural or prescribed) have much more of an issue with sight driven lust than most women. That said, I offer that as how God did it, because I agree He did it.
I've seen several of these studies about how frequently men think about sex. The thing is, there's really no accurate way to measure those thoughts. The studies depend upon the man telling someone or noting the time of every sexual thought. So, what they're doing is saying "think about sex and tell us that you're doing so."
On the other hand, I've got to totally agree with you that men think about sex much more than women do. This is made clear by the number of times men wake up from erotic dreams with an erection. If that's not evidence of sexual dreams, I don't know what is.
I have heard this very thing from other husbands, but I think you summarized it particularly well. I especially appreciated you talking about how sexuality is at a man's core; part of his identity as a man is how I've seen it. However, I admit that I have heard this from wives as well who feel rejected as a woman by a husband who won't engage sexually with her. So while I agree that the feeling is typically stronger in males, when a wife is deprived, she often experiences those same feelings. Great post!
P.S. I keep trying to count how many times I think about sex with my hubby each day to see if I'm "normal," but I think that writing a marriage and sexuality blog is skewing my results. Or maybe not. :p
It's possible the God did create men to think and feel about sex in this manner. Without it means rejection. Or possibly since the beginning of the male psyche after Adam its been instilled to believe so. I wish I could crawl into the male to really get behind the truth because sometimes (all) it drives me crazy of how much he wants to do it. Yes I said do it. Take a break, a week in between won't kill him.
I may very well think about sex more than my husband does – my sex drive is ridiculously high, actually a bit higher than his, although his drive is high enough to be normal for most men. We have mind-blowing sex and sexual activities very frequently, but I still think about it all the time! I even dream about having sex with him, while cuddled up naked next to him! But, I think it may perhaps nurture a different part of us. It makes him feel reaffirmed as a man, like a stud. Men have a lot of underlying emotions tied to sex, and to their nether regions! There's a vulnerability there that is easy to break, and extremely important to bolster. It's kind of like how women and men are different regarding employment. Sure, a woman may truly love having a job, and it's nice – often necessary – to have that income; but our egos aren't tied up in it. If we lose a job, well, maybe we'll be stressed about money, but we don't feel like we're no longer a woman. For a man, a job is almost part of his identity. To him, having a job and being able to provide for his family is part of what makes him a man; and if he loses that job, and has no income to provide, he feels like less of a man – he may even feel worthless. He's still just as much of a man, he just feels like less of one.
Hmmmmmm… I don't agree that men think about sex more than women or that sex is more important to a man in marriage… I think that women think about sex just as much and it's just as important but in a different way. I not only believe that men and women are mutual about how much they think about sex and how important it is to them, but I also believe that women can be just as visual as men! I really believe that it's not about gender with being visual but it's about how that particular person is wired [if they are pre-dominantly right or left brained]. I'm glad you said that this is your perspective *warm smile*. We're all learning and changing and growing. <3
A long time ago I read a secular book on affair-proofing your marriage. I wasn't saved at the time but I had two previous boyfriends, at separate times, who both cheated on me. It didn't matter how loyal I was in the relationship. I was starting to think all men were pigs. Then I met my husband who turned out not to be a pig. Back to the book, it was a eye opener when the book said to NEVER refuse sex to your spouse. I wanted a successful marriage was willing to do what it took, for success. So, that's what I did. It's been decades since we first married. At the beginning, my drive was medium high. I have to admit that now my drive exceeds his (overdrive). That's right gals, your sex drive will eventually turn up, way up. You will be glad that you never turned him down. It's not too late to turn from your rejecting ways. I shake my head when I hear women talk about turning down sex with their husbands. Nobody else on this planet can satisfy his needs but you. I repeat, when you are older, you will be begging for sex. The tables will turn. How was the first 20-25 years of your marriage? Get ready for the next 20-25. It will either be marginal from refusal, or fantastic because you always were there for him. You decide. IMO

Edgar Degas
two dancers on The stage
Edgar Degas, Two Dancers on the Stage, 1874. Oil on canvas, 61.5 x 46 cm. P.1934.SC.89.
We see the stage here not straight on, but from above and to the side, as though we are sitting in a box.
This angle immediately involves us in the image, suggesting Degas' depiction to be real rather than carefully set up.
Is this a performance or a rehearsal?
Degas purchased permits that allowed him to observe rehearsals and backstage activity at the Opéra de Paris, and many of his paintings and sculptures concentrate on dancers off the stage, stretching or chatting.
Whilst the dancers in this painting are in full costume and mid-dance, a third figure, who does not seem to be part of the main action, is partially visible on the stage, at the far left of the canvas.
Degas' composition teeters between being casual and carefully constructed, as do the dancers themselves: in spite of their exquisite costumes, these are probably young working-class dancers from the corps de ballet as opposed to principals.
Degas gives them snub noses and slightly simian features to suggest, according to contemporary ideas of physiognomy that greatly interested him, a lower social class.

Recipe by Sweet Pickles Mom
"This is an absolutely wonderful grilled Italian hamburger. You may add a little garlic powder also, and top with a thin slice of Mozzarella cheese as well. I do suggest you make the full recipe as leftovers never last more than two days at my house. These are wonderful with a big slice of very sweet onion and catsup. Some people like to add a slice of Mozzarella cheese before popping them in the foil and before heating again."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3 pounds
lean ground beef
1 pound
bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 tablespoon
minced onion
1 teaspoon
minced garlic
2 teaspoons
Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon
light olive oil
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
2 teaspoons
anise seed
1/4 cup
melted butter
baguettes (14 to 16 inches), halved crosswise and split
I omitted the anise seed because I didn't have it and I added four cloves of fresh minced garlic to the butter before brushing it on the thick hamburger rolls, which we used instead of baguettes. I made six thick burgers instead of twelve thin. These are incredible. We really loved them. We dressed these simply with homemade special sauce, sliced cheddar cheese, sliced tomato, sliced onion and fresh bibb lettuce. Out of six, there is ONE left. My husband ate two in one sitting. I'll make these again for sure.
The problem with mixing ground beef with pork sausage is you have to cook the meat completely through so the grd.beef is quite over cooked although wonderful as meat loaf!!

Successful meal. Three of us thought they were really tasty but my daughter thought there was too much flavor of Italian sausage - probably from the 2 teaspoons of fennel seeds. I actually used two pounds of lean ground beef and one pound of bulk sausage and used the full recipe amount of seasonings. It was too hot to grill outside so I grilled them on my stovetop pan and then finished in the oven. After putting the cooked meat patties on sub rolls, I added sauteed red peppers and onions and provolone cheese, wrapped in foil and heated for 15 minutes. My daughter added pesto to hers after it came out of the oven. I don't think serving them on the bun is necessary. They would be good covered in grilled veggies and shredded cheese and heated in the oven until the cheese melted.
Instead of sandwiches, I used this hamburger as part of a "naked burger" (no bun) meal idea to serve 4 (changed the serving size). Made a few tweaks w/ingredients I had on hand: used ground turkey instead of ground beef, hot Italian sausage, 3/4 of an onion, 4 garlic cloves and increased the Italian seasoning. These were a hit with my husband, he's already requested I make them again! Very easy to prepare and add/sub out ingredients you have in your fridge.
Amazing burgers! Hubby loved them for Father's Day. I halved the recipe....used an 85%/15% ground beef....used a hot Italian ground sausage.....love the fennel flavor....did omit the olive oil in the mix....didnt see a need for it....and served on nice rolls topped with provolone cheese....Just the right amount of spice and plenty of flavor and juiciness! Thanks!
Great burgers. This is almost the way I make my Italian meatballs with homemade Italian Tomato sauce. Delicious.
I thought these came out great. Lots of flavor and something nice to make on occasion. I didn't use the anise seed because I didn't have them on hand, but these still turned out delicious.

High School, has signed a national letter of intent to attend the University of New Mexico in the fall. Prentice had agreed to walk-on for the Lobos then receive a scholarship starting with the 2005 spring semester.

Champagne for tea? How could we possibly resist? We headed to the Bay View Lounge at the Grand Hyatt Goa to put the Grand Champagne High Tea, which they are offering, to the test.
Handcrafted by executive pastry chef Nicole, the Grand High Tea is available in three platters. There's the Traditional English Afternoon Tea (Rs 780 plus tax), the India Tea (Rs 680 plus tax), and for those with a sweet tooth, a Cupcake High Tea (Rs. 780 plus tax). The Grand Champagne High Tea (Rs 2000 plus tax) is served with your choice of any of these platters.
Spoilt for choice, what caught our attention was the Traditional English High Tea which offered a variety of pastry and savoury delicacies. Our Traditional English High Tea began with a refreshing Rose Oolong Tea handpicked by tea sommelier Snigdha Manchanda, founder of Tea Trunk. The semi-fermented oolong leaves with hints of rose petals left a fresh refreshing taste on our palettes and was a good sign of what was yet to come.
Just as we had imagined, our English High Tea was a lavish spread of scones, pastries and sandwiches. It's tough to pick a clear winner from the platter. We couldn't stop eating (and raving about) the Turkey Sandwiches, Salmon Toasties, Macaroons, Egg Sandwiches and the mini muffins with a homemade blueberry jam. The High Tea includes a selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolate.
Curious to know what makes a High Tea a Champagne High Tea, we stepped away from tradition and added a glass of bubbly to our High Tea feast. And the results left us completely floored. The combination of champagne and sandwiches is truly "grand".
The Indian and the Cupcake High Teas are a big hit we were told. The Indian High Tea includes a range of Indian sweets and savouries like Vada Pav, Channa Jhor Garam and the old tea-time favourite, kanda bajiya. The Cupcake High Tea boasts of cupcakes with flavours like Amaretto, Lemon Meringue, Raspberry and Blueberry Cheese.
Held every day between 3pm to 7pm, the Grand Champagne High Tea is light on the pocket and heavy on flavours. An ideal option to make your regular afternoon tea a grand one or just to give yourself a well-earned treat thanks to that glass of champagne.
Meal for two: Rs 680- Rs 2000 plus taxes (the High Tea platters are designed to be shared by 2-3 people)
Must try: Salmon Toasties, Macaroons
This meal was sponsored by the restaurant.
