A connection is a relationship between one or more things. It is the action of linking one, with another. It is when a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else in any number of ways. It can be physical, emotional, abstract, romantic, smart or even illogical. Over the last decade humans have connected in unprecedented ways. With social media and online tools facilitating communication, we have seen these transform everyday activities like planning a night out to having huge societal impact like facilitating entire revolutions. Science has also advanced the way we understand connections with the world and with other people, but also within ourselves and our nature and origins. It has answered old questions about where we come from as a people and a species, opened new questions as to why and how different parts of our bodies communicate, and elucidated what we are in our shared DNA with other species. In a time where people are ever more able to connect with each other and yet more are alienating themselves and others, we are in need of an exploration of all these changes.

Marisa PeerThere are few female speakers today who can claim the wide expertise and profound audience reach of Marisa Peer. With nearly three decades of work as a therapist behind her – helping rock stars, royalty, Olympians, and leading CEOs overcome phobias, addiction, childhood traumas, and relationship problems – Marisa has an unparalleled ability to connect with each of her audience members on an individual level. Marisa's own life story is direct proof of what serves as her main message: that the thoughts and words we choose have a direct impact on how our lives play out. After being told in school she was physically inept and would never amount to anything, Marisa went on to become the top trainer at the renowned Pineapple Dance Studio in both London and New York and then worked for Jane Fonda in Los Angeles at the height of the fitness craze. Using her firm belief that the body does precisely what the mind tells it to, Marisa had her daughter Phaedra after numerous specialists insisted she would never get pregnant. She also used this very same philosophy to overcome two life-threatening illnesses and has helped many people do the same. Further proof of Marisa's success is not hard to come by. Her accolades include being listed in Tatler's Guide to Britain's 250 Best Practitioners, being the only woman included in Men's Health's "Best of British" list, and listed as the leading practitioner for mental health in London's Time Out Guide. Her bestselling books have been translated into Swedish, German, Icelandic, and Korean, with her "Ultimate Confidence" title being used as a core curriculum component in the Korean education system.

Alice HolmbergTo design is to vividly experience what doesn't exist yet, says Alice Holmberg and as a designer and entrepreneur, she has rich scope for doing so. She is one of these big picture people who can't just leave it alone and says she co-established an entirely new university institute because the understanding of design needed a paradigm shift, was analysing post-colonial national identity building and its personal expression out of crude curiosity, has been playing a key part in building up a London based charity, because local people's creativity deserve a voice in change happening around them and you will find her advising start-ups simply because the world misses out without them. Her enthusiasm for storytelling and crafts shines through all of her undertakings, but nowhere more than in her own newly founded venture, Pride & Produce, which connects rural artisans and makers worldwide to the experience economy. Born and bred in Denmark, she has lived the better part of the last decades in Germany, Bangladesh, Greece and the UK, where she is currently based. Alice has been awarded membership of the German National Academic Foundation and is a fellow of the RSA.
Evan KassofEvan Kassof is a composer of contemporary music based in London. Originally from south Florida, he studied physics and music composition at the University of Florida, worked in the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search collaboration, and is now finishing a Master in Music composition from the Royal Academy of Music, London. Since moving to London, he has worked to incorporate his love and knowledge of physics into a musical language that is artistically robust. His recent projects include a brass septet; a trio for horn, violin, and piano; three percussion duets; a large orchestral work; a site-specific work in Tenerife; and an opera. Beyond composition for its own sake, Evan is interested in using his music to explore new ways of experiencing and learning about art and the universe. Ultimately, he hopes that his music serves as a means to understand not only the physical universe, but to also understand our complex relationship with the world around us.
Emma WhipdayEmma Whipday is an AHRC-funded PhD Candidate at UCL, researching violent homes in Shakespeare's tragedies, the genre of domestic tragedy and early modern popular culture. She has published on the representation of neighbourhood in news pamphlets in the essay collection News in Early Modern Europe, and has spoken at conferences in the UK and the USA. Emma recently directed a production of 'The Tragedy of Thomas Merry' using early modern rehearsal methods.
Freyja Cox JensenFreyja Cox Jensen is Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Exeter. She has published on various aspects of sixteenth and seventeenth century intellectual, social, and cultural history, and is now working on several projects engaging with reading, writing, publishing, and performance in the period.

Halliburton Awards Grant to T-STEM Center
March 8, 2006
Recognizing a university-level commitment to K-12 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, Halliburton has awarded the Texas Tech University T-STEM Center $30,000 in foundation funding to continue the center's outreach efforts. "Congratulations on behalf of the Halliburton Foundation and the Education Advisory Board," said Cheneé Franklin, manager of domestic university relations for Halliburton. "Your hard work and commitment to excellence in education are greatly appreciated."
Funding from the award will be used to develop curriculum and professional development for the center's Green Engineering workshop, slated to debut during the center's summer teacher training workshops in 2008. Green Engineering focuses on the positive effect engineers have on the environment when developing responsible solutions to real-world problems. "We are excited to have Halliburton's support of our work here at the T-STEM Center," remarked John Chandler, Ph.D., a director of the center. "We are grateful for Halliburton's gift, but, more importantly, we're excited for the opportunities for further collaboration between Halliburton and Texas Tech, especially in K-12 education outreach."
Almost a century old, Halliburton is one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the oil and gas industries. The company's foundation, established in 1965, supports education at all levels through contributions to K-12 schools, colleges and universities. University grants given through the Halliburton Foundation are just one way the company gives back to communities in which it has operations. In addition to the T-STEM Center's award, Texas Tech also received $5,000 in funding for continued support of the Halliburton Teaching Excellence Award in the College of Engineering.

Democrats and Republicans in the Senate each lost once last week--entrepreneurs and small business owners lost twice.
Despite a push last week from Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act (S. 2237) didn't pass the Republican filibuster and is slated for further debate. It calls for a 10 percent tax credit to firms who hire or increase payroll. Meanwhile, a Republican plan to give businesses with fewer than 500 employees a 20 percent tax cut was soundly defeated 73-24.
Despite the setback for S. 2237, Sen. Mary Landrieu, chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, announced her plans to introduce the provisions of her amendment to it as a stand-alone bill. Those provisions are:

Who? Judy Chicago is an American feminist artist and writer known for her large collaborative art installation pieces which examine the role of women in history and culture. Born in Chicago, Illinois, as Judith Sylvia Cohen, she changed her name after the death of her father and her first husband, choosing to disconnect from the idea of male dominated naming conventions. To celebrate the name change, Chicago posed for the exhibition invitation dressed like a boxer, wearing a sweatshirt with her new last name on it. She now resides in a historic railroad hotel in New Mexico.
What? Chicago's early life was difficult, with the death of her father and years as a lonely, struggling artist. Yet she was determined and focused and by the 1970s, had coined the term "feminist art" and founded the first feminist art program in the United States. Chicago's dedication to her work included taking classes in auto body work, boat building, and pyrotechnics; typically male disciplines. Through auto body work she learned spray painting techniques and the skill to fuse color and surface to any type of media, which would become a signature of her later work. Chicago's masterpiece is The Dinner Party, a monumental installation she created between 1974 and 1979 in her Santa Monica studio. It is a provocatively feminist work which celebrates the lives and work of 1,038 notable women (Emily Dickson, Hildegard of Bingen, Mary Wollstonecraft and Virginia Woolf) and, after 26 years of searching for a permanent home, it is now housed at the Brooklyn Museum.
"Chicago's dedication to her work included taking classes in auto body work, boat building, and pyrotechnics"
Why? At the age of 72, Chicago is currently celebrating the first British survey of her work. The Ben Uri Gallery currently features pieces from Chicago's personal archive and key works, and London's Riflemaker presents Deflowered, an exhibition of early work including Birth Hood, Flight Hood and Bigamy Hood – depictions of male and female genitalia sprayed in automotive lacquer onto a car hood.
Judy Chicago is at the Ben Uri Gallery until March 10 2013 and Deflowered is at the Riflemaker Gallery until January 31 2013.

A social network approach to understanding science communication among fire professionals
Wright, Vita. 2012. A social network approach to understanding science communication among fire professionals. In: Fox, R. L., ed. Proceedings of the 3rd Human Dimensions of Wildland Fire Conference; April 17-19 2012; Seattle, Washington. International Association of Wildland Fire. p. 168-169.
Studies of science communication and use in the fire management community suggest manager's access research via informal information networks and that these networks vary by both agency and position. We used a phone survey followed by traditional statistical analyses to understand the informal social networks of fire professionals in two western regions of the United States (Northern Rockies and Southwest). In these regions, we sampled federal and tribal decision-makers, fire management officers, fire ecologists and fuels specialists to determine 1) who they go to for scientific information supporting fuels management, 2) why they go to these individuals and 3) how they communicate with these individuals. We will present preliminary results of analyses of the extent to which communication about science is driven by formal positions and corresponding responsibilities, expertise and/or personal history of working together. Results are compared between the two regions.

Ten years ago, in the days, weeks, and months after Sept. 11, 2001, the country and government came together. Democrats and Republicans worked together to ease a scared nation, but also out of fear that not doing so would get them labeled unpatriotic. Bipartisan approval for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan reigned. You rarely heard the word "deficit," and money was poured into not only those wars, but to build the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, the government is bitterly divided. What happened?
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, took to the Senate floor Thursday to call for a return to the bipartisanship and cooperation after Sept. 11.
"What we were able to achieve then in terms of common purpose and effective collective action provides us with a model for action that we in Washington must strive to emulate and even if just in part, even if just sporadically to re-create," Schumer said.
On issues like the $20 billion aid package to New York, the controversial Patriot Act, or approval for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both sides of the aisle gave a green light.
"To his credit, President Bush did not for one second think about the electoral map or political implication of supporting New York. He asked what we needed and he came through," Schumer said. "If, God forbid, another 9/11-like attack were to happen tomorrow, would our national political system respond with the same unity, non-recrimination, common purpose and effective policy action in the way that it did just ten years ago? Or are our politics now so petty, fanatically ideological, polarized and partisan that we would instead descend into blame and brinkmanship, and direct our fire inward, and fail to muster the collective will to act in the interests of the American people?"
From the Age of Terrorism to the Age of Austerity and Division
In what she calls a "backhanded compliment to bipartisanship," Karlyn Bowman of the American Enterprise Institute says the American public gives high approval to both George W. Bush and Barack Obama on their handling of terrorism.
"What's absolutely clear is in a time so critical of Washington, the public has given high marks to the presidents of both parties -- George W. Bush for making the country safe and they gave Barack Obama high marks for keeping the country safe," Bowman said, who recently authored a study "The War on Terror: Ten Years of Polls on American Attitudes."
With the economy being the number one issue on Americans' minds, Bowman says terrorism has receded significantly as an area of concern.
"I think terrorism wouldn't recede as an issue if they didn't feel the government made them safe," Bowman said.
But what about the dynamic between the president and congress?
James Lindsay, senior vice president of the Council on Foreign Relations, worked at the National Security Council during the Clinton administration. He says the attacks of Sept. 11 "triggered a dynamic as old as the American Republic."
"When the country is under attack and facing a national crisis, power gravitates away from Congress to the president, partly because Americans believe that during times of crisis strong leadership is needed," Lindsay told ABC News. "Also, during times of crisis it's politically safe to rally behind the president. They fear any critique of the White House is taken as an unpatriotic act. That rally around the flag gives enormous power to the president and that power persists as long as the crisis persists."

Drink of the Week: Pot for Two, London Tea Room Blend, The London Tea Room
Categories: Drink Drank Drunk, Drink of the Week
In fairness to this downtown establishment, the elegant, light-filled space is about as unfussy a place as you can imagine. There isn't a doily or floral print in sight, and the young, black-clad staff is easy-going, yet eager to please. On a day like this one, I don't want to be anywhere else. It's cold and spitting drizzle outside, and the realization that winter is on its way is finally sinking in. Who knows better than a Londoner how to cope with miserable weather? Perhaps that's why the soups are homemade and the tea is strong.
This may be the time to mention that one can, indeed, get coffee at the London Tea Room, and it's quite good from what I hear. The restaurant offers espresso and all the usual espresso-based drinks as well. Don't get me wrong, I like coffee as much as the next guy. Coffee is butch. Sometimes a shot of espresso in the afternoon is just the slap in the face I need.
Other days, when crawling out from under the covers seems a monumental task, only a nice cup of tea with a bit of milk will do. In dire situations, go for the Monks' Blend, black tea scented with grenadine and vanilla, as comforting as whiskey to the brokenhearted, as soothing as mother's milk to a baby. Pair it with a golden raisin scone, smothered in clotted cream. If prevented from so indulging by masculine pride, try the Lapsang Souchong, described on the menu thusly: "A bold tea for the adventurous. Smoky and robust, redolent of campfires, whiskey, and cigars. Churchill drank it when he wasn't trying to get drunk." While this black tea, smoke-dried over pinewood fires, may lack delicacy, it certainly will strengthen one's resolve.
When sharing a pot for two, the London Tea Room Blend is the perfect compromise. As Deborah Kerr's character says in the 1956 film Tea and Sympathy, "Manliness is not all swagger and mountain climbing. It's also tenderness." We eat lunch. We solve the New York Times crossword. (OK, partially solve.) I pour for him. The mountain can be conquered another day.

On a US GAAP basis:
Operating income was up 13% to $342 million (Q2 2012: $302 million) as the good underlying operating leverage in Q2 2013 further benefited from lower legal and litigation costs and lower impairment charges, only partially offset by higher reorganization and acquisition costs compared to the prior year.
On a US GAAP basis, diluted earnings per ADS increased 10% to $1.36 (Q2 2012: $1.24), due to higher US GAAP operating income partially offset by a higher US GAAP effective tax rate of 22% (Q2 2012: 18%).
Free cash flow, also a Non GAAP measure, decreased by 44% to $241 million (Q2 2012: $433 million) primarily due to the lower cash generation and the effect of higher cash tax payments in Q2 2013 as compared to Q2 2012.
On a US GAAP basis, net cash provided by operating activities was down 44% to $259 million (Q2 2012: $466 million).
As we look forward to the remainder of the year, we anticipate delivering full year double digit Non GAAP earnings growth in 2013.
Based on our actual results to date and anticipated trends for the remainder of the year, we continue to expect full year product sales growth in th

Third time's the charm?
While I agree that this nation that has an immature attitude towards discussions of sex, it's not correct to say that is the reason for monsters like Sandusky. Plenty of liberal European countries have their share of molesters. Ever heard of Belgium?
66Inside: You keep saying that Paterno reported it to his superiors but according to the Freeh report he did nothing when he first became aware of it. According to Freeh, he knew about it before the McQueery (sp) incident. That's why his image is taking such a hit. If this report is accurate, a lot of people may end up in jail.
Fisher is hot garbage! Go get Sessions. He's a great back up point guard and a terrific rotation player.
So why not try to re-sign Sessions? The guy was a great back up point guard who not only lifted up the bench play but gave the Cavs a viable starter when Kyrie was hurt. Sessions prospered under Scott. To me, you can justify giving him pretty good money because he's one of your eight man rotation.
Tribe needs to reach out to one of their all time greats--Albert Belle--to work with Santana. Belle was not merely a power hitter. He was a great student of pitching and had a game plan for each at bat. Santana has the desire but none of Belle's discipline at the plate.
People forget how wonderous it was to have Belle come up to the plate with a runner on base. He wore a scowl on his face and hit everything hard. Regardless of how he left, he was one of the great intimidating presences in Cleve. Indians history. And, he was never the same once he left. It's not like he was a superstar in Chicago. His body fell apart.
On board with matt and blue. Take the best player and don't worry about position. We need quality.
Peekaboobie--Danny Manning was very good but his knees weren't.
The question isn't whether or not the former players knew the risks of playing pro football, it's whether the NFL deceived them with specific regard to the potential health risks from concussions. I think that the NFL is in big trouble on this issue in the long run. It's changing the game already. Soon--maybe this season--guys will miss 1-2 months from one hard shot to the noggin and the fines/penalties for head hits will be enormous. The game we're watching in just a few years will be much different than the one they played just five years ago.
With regard to the Browns greatest return men--Cribbs and Metcalf were mentioned--I'd like to add the name Greg Pruitt. He was very exciting with the ball in his hands--and the tear-away jersey.
Good insights, Ed. Colt was a project and was rushed into the lineup. As you said, great intangibles but the tangibles are lacking.
H and H may or may not be doing a good job of re-building this roster. But no one has done it right since 1999 and they are the current group in charge of fixing this mess. Weeden may prove to be the QB who has arrived at the right time if the O-line is fixed and Richardson proves capable. Having Colt around probably invites too much second guessing at a time when the Browns need stability. Then again, if Weeden gets hurt, we might wish we had McCoy. Browns probably need to clear out both backups and sign a veteran--if there's a solid one available.
I love Weeden. He's a better version of Derek Anderson--strong arm but more accurate. McCoy had guts but so did Couch--and neither one of them had an NFL arm. The receivers are instantly upgraded simply because the ball will get there faster and in the right spot.
Next pick will be a right tackle. And suddenly the Browns O will be in decent shape.
As for trading three later picks to get T-Rich--it's a pittance if he's as good as hoped.
All drafts are gambles. Browns addressed needs and we all have to hope they got it right.
I love Kotchman's glove but his bat is a disaster. The Tribe is a couple stronger hitters away from being a playoff team.
Hudson may not be a true NBA player but Gibson doesn't look like one either.
+1 again.
Draft the stud lineman. The 2007 Browns had the best O line in the AFC and went 10-6. The following year, guess who didn't play but one game? Ryan Tucker--right tackle. Guess when he played? The Giants game on Monday nite when we looked amazing. A strong O line lifts up the rest of the offense. Everyone else plays better. Strong in the trenches is always the way to go.
When I was in college, we thought these guys were a joke. We were right. We need to take the selection process out of the hands of pretend intellectuals and allow real people to make the selections. The Beastie Boys are in but no...Bachman Turner Overdrive? Rush? America? Yes? Moody Blues? The list goes on.
Ramon Sessions was a fine player and one of the few talents on our team. When the Cavs traded him, they tanked the season.
It would be nice if the Cavs could re-sign Ramon Sessions this offseason. He was a very fine role player. Losing him has de-stablized the play of this team. It was a defensible trade. But I hated to see us part with a valuable young player.

Story here
Cincinnati restaurateur Jeff Ruby was at his restaurant in Louisville for Kentucky Derby weekend, when an employee approached him, apparently excited that O.J. Simpson was sitting down to dinner.
Ruby said he took another puff of his cigar and another sip of his drink and decided, "I don't want him here."
Ruby said he found Simpson in the Churchhill room of his "Jeff Ruby's Louisville" steakhouse and told Simpson, "I'm not serving you."
Ruby said he did it for the Goldman and Brown families, referring, of course, to the families of the people O.J. was accused of killing.
Simpson was found not guilty in the criminal trial, but liable in a civil trial.
After telling Simpson to leave, he said the former NFL football star was "classy" about it, rounded up his party and left.
Then, Ruby said, he went into the Churchill Room to be sure they were gone and people at other tables started standing. "They all got up and gave me a standing ovation, started applauding."
Ruby said it happened throughout the restaurant.
He added that the next day in the restaurant, "Nobody in Louisville was talking about who won the Derby, who lost, what happened to the favorite, or the Queen. They were just talking about 'O.J. got thrown out of the place.'"
Ruby's Louisville restaurant is the only one he owns outside of our Tri-state area. It's been open about a year.

Three Law Faculty Members Receive University Merit Awards
February 17, 2009
The USF School of Law chapter of the Equal Justice Society (EJS) is sponsoring the Fifth Annual Creative Justice Art Show to raise awareness of poverty and those ignored by the political process, especially women and children in developing countries.
Law students and various Bay Area artists, including sculptors, painters, and photographers, will participate.
"This art show reminds me that there is more to my life than just cases, statutes, lawyers, and the next networking event," USF EJS President Angela Kim said. "And very importantly, it also reminds me that social justice issues can be solved in other ways than just with the law."
The opening reception, which will include spoken word performances, will be 6 p.m. Feb. 20 in Kendrick Hall. Food and wine will be served. EJS will accept donations and proceeds will benefit The Forgotten International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to alleviating poverty throughout the world.

We got some good news and bad news for you James Franco fans out there. The good news is, he made a sex tape. The bad news, it's apparently pretty awful. During an appearance on Conan last night, the Rise of The Planet of the Apes star and renaissance man came clean about the one aspect of film he's not so great at. "When I was young, it's not like I went down to Van Nuys and tried to break into the porn industry," he admitted. "I got a video camera and my girlfriend and I decided to film ourselves. And watched it back and said yeah, let's never watch that again." Although we'd kind of expect as much. If he can't get the energy level up for hosting the dang Oscars, we can't imagine his sex tape would be any better.
But the experience made him have a new reverence and respect for adult film stars. "Those people in porno's are great performers," says the Academy Award nominee. "They're selling it to an audience!" He then went on to randomly mention his grandma in the next breath, for reasons we can only guess at. Damn it Franco, first rule of the porn industry: NEVER bring up Nanna.

Melissa from Guilford county asks, "Is cold-water coral as vulnerable to what is killing the coral reefs in Australia?"
One of the largest threats to the coral reefs off the coast of Australia is coral bleaching. This occurs when the algae living inside the coral die due to increases in water temperature, overnutrification, or other factors. Since cold-water coral have no symbiotic algae, they do not suffer coral bleaching. According to Cold-water Coral Reefs: Out of sight – no longer out of mind, a United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre publication written by a number of scientists, including Life on the Edge 2005 research scientist Dr. Murray Roberts, "active gear that comes into contact with the sea floor is considered the greatest threat to cold-water coral reefs and includes bottom trawls and dredges." These bottom trawls and dredges are weighted to ensure their contact with the sea floor and can therefore be used over rough seabed with rocks and corals. Other threats listed in Cold-water Coral Reefs include hydrocarbon exploration, cable and pipeline placement, bioprospecting, pollution, waste disposal and dumping, and coral exploitation and trade.
Ginny from Wake county wonders how many different animal species have been collected so far.
There is no easy way to answer this question as many species have not yet been identified and it will take months to record everything that has been collected. A conservative estimate is between 80 and 100 different species. The taxonomy of invertebrates is not very clear; some species are not well known, and some may be new species. Furthermore, invertebrates cover a huge range of disciplines (as compared to fish), so identifying species is not a clear-cut procedure. Dr. Murray Roberts mused that one sample brought up the other day, a rock on which many different organisms were attached, could easily keep a team of scientists busy for months. A few scientists tried to help me categorize what we have so far: fewer than ten fish species, seven or eight coral species, and approximately 50 invertebrates. These numbers do not reflect those species yet to be identified.
Could you name a few of the species?
- Laemonema melanurum, a blue fish with black tipped fins edged in white, and a striking black caudal fin also edged in white. Called a "coral hake" by the science team, it is related to shallow-water hakes and cods.
- Eumunida picta, a squat lobster that waves its front legs at the sub when it passes by.
- Several species of Nezumia, or rattail fish, whose front half looks like a fish, but whose posterior end more closely resembles an eel.
- Rochinia crassa, a spider crab with brigth white and red legs and a spiked carapace that looks armed for battle
- Conger oceanicus, the Conger eel, a slate blue fish that excels at hiding within the coral.
- Lophelia pertusa, the framework of the entire reef system. Lophelia comes from the Greek language and literally translates to "tufts of sun," an apt name for an organism that appears to be sprouting sunbursts up and down its stalks.
Taylor, an eighth grader from Orange county, wonders how many new species of fish
you have found during this mission.
We have not collected any new species of fish during this mission. We have seen many types of fish that are common to this area and some that are not generally found here as our sampling areas are outside of their range. Dr. Steve Ross has been involved with the identification of one new fish species found in 2001. The fish was found near Cape Hatteras. The fish's scientific name is Pseudnos rossi. Its common name is snail fish.
Ally, an eighth grader from Orange county, wants to know how you identify a new fish species.
Traditionally, animals are identified taxonomically, meaning by their physical characteristics in relation to other animals that are similar to them. It is a very long process. First, you have to be very familiar with the group of animals that you are studying. Then, you must make detailed observations of the physical characteristics of the animal you are trying to identify. After that, you must compare your findings with those of other scientists through literature, museum collections, and by consulting with colleagues. You do your best to identify the animal down to species, but if you reach a point where nothing else like it exists, then you have a new species. This is when the real work starts. You must then collect more of this same species and make sure that the original observations you made hold true for all those collected. Once you have collected several samples and confirmed it is not a known species, you are done. Examining DNA can also be used to help prove or disprove the existence of new species by comparing the DNA of two similar animals.
Erika, an eighth grader from Orange county, wonders, "Do you find new species each time
you go on a mision or just once in a while?"
Finding and identifying a new species does not usually happen during every mission. When you do find an animal that you suspect is a new species, it may take years of research before you know for sure. It depends on how well that particular species has been studied. See the question above to learn about the process of identifying species.

There are many reasons for Britons to be grateful for their state-owned broadcasters, the BBC and Channel 4. And the current takeover talk surrounding the UK's leading commercial TV broadcaster, ITV ITV, gives us another reason to cling on tight to those public assets.
If ITV falls into American hands – as has been speculated, following US cable company Liberty Global's Liberty Global's purchase of a 6.4 per cent share – then the BBC and Channel 4 will be just about the only significant British TV companies not under American control.
Among British TV platforms, American ownership is already the norm. BSkyB, our biggest pay-TV operator, is controlled by Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox Fox. Virgin Media Virgin Media, Sky's closest competitor, was itself fairly recently taken over by Liberty Global. (The potential synergies between Virgin's cable platform on the one hand, and ITV's channels and vast archive on the other, will not be lost on Liberty.)
The BBC, ITV and Channel 4 have the most-watched channel portfolios. But, lower down the programme guide, US interests dominate again: Sky, Discovery, Scripps, Viacom Viacom, NBC Universal, Turner. Indeed just a couple of months ago, Viacom bought Channel 5, leaving ITV as the only major free-to-air broadcaster that is not publicly owned but still in British hands.
And the most striking change of late has been the rapid rate at which British TV production companies have been snapped up by American conglomerates. Shine is part of Fox, Shed is part of Time Warner. Even Downton Abbey's producer, Carnival Films, is owned by NBC Universal. With the 'super-indie' All3Media being recently snapped up by Discovery and Liberty Global (spotting a trend yet?), almost all of the big UK production houses are now owned by American conglomerates.
All of them, that is, apart from ITV. It has traditionally been the UK's only commercial producer/broadcaster of any real scale, and its contribution to British life is often underestimated by those who dismiss it as a channel only for oiks. It broadcasts many of the nation's most enduringly popular programmes: Coronation Street, Downton Abbey, Britain's Got Talent. Perhaps more to the point, it spends the thick end of £1billion a year in Britain's creative economy.
There's no guarantee that any purchasers would maintain ITV's programming budget, or its largely British schedule. So for ITV to fall into American hands would potentially have consequences, both cultural and commercial, that Britain's regulators and politicians have barely even begun to consider. Our media mergers legislation is 11 years old, and really seeks only to stop Rupert Murdoch achieving too much of a monopoly, by banning TV/newspaper mergers. It was not designed to stop, say, Liberty Global from taking over ITV.
British right-wing capitalists tend to lambast the BBC for being wasteful in its spending, and Channel 4 for its left-of-centre news bias. But those right-wingers might soon come to realise that their traditional foes aren't so bad after all.

Stout fellow: listen to all of our Nero Wolfe mysteries, including classic radio programs!
©1956 Rex Stout; (P)1996 Books on Tape Inc.
"It's always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore." (The New York Times)
"What's not to like about a Nero Wolfe mystery? The mysteries are short, cleverly plotted, well paced, and, if you're an audiobook listener, wonderfully read by Michael Prichard....Prichard has read nearly 20 books in Stout's series and has mastered Wolfe's deep, meditative voice and Archie's spry, chipper voice, as well as those of a host of other characters we recognize from one recording to the next." (AudioFile)
"A Classic Nero Wolfe"
Loved the story, The Narration as always was wonderful and no real technical glitches to speak of... I was so very please with this Audio Book, and of course the whole Nero Wolfe Series, i have most of these and hope they will make more of them, the Pre-WWII Stories please please, addicted.

Saturday night was a thoroughly enjoyable fan experience in the Dome. The Orange won a thrilling game, the crowd was loud, properly sauced, and provided Syracuse with emotional lift. It was a great time, with one notable exception - certain fans insist on doing the wave.
To those Syracuse fans who will not give up this absurd ritual, I have a simple message -- enough with the f*cking wave already. I can't take it any more. It's not 1984. It's not new. It's not fun. And half the time you don't even do it right. I can't tell you how many times you wave starting jackasses have started the damn thing when Syracuse has the ball.
Hey geniuses, you never do the damn wave when Syracuse has the ball, because the offense can't hear the quarterback - and the last time I checked, playing at home was supposed to be a freaking advantage.
What's the point of the wave? Are you proud you can stand up and put your hands in the air? Is it fun to try and get your gut to hang out of the bottom of your shirt? Are you frustrated you never made the drill team or synchronized swimming team in high school and are just trying to show your real talent? I don't get it - talk to me wave starters, I want answers.
Look, I love going to Syracuse games, getting loud, and screaming when the opponent has the ball. I'm the guy standing up and yelling every time there's a great play. I make noise when the opposing team is at the line scrimmage. I high five everyone around me. I'm not suggesting we all sit on on our hands. We need to create a hostile environment for Syracuse opponents - and doing a synchronized dance move isn't going to get it done.
You know who still does the wave? 90,000 Madonna fans.....that's who.
Do you really want to do something that Madonna fans do better than you??? Does that make you feel better?
Besides, the sad fact of the matter is that some people clearly do not have the mental capacity and physical coordination to actually pull off the wave. Case in point, Saturday night when the wave was rolling through my section, some drunk meatball seated behind me got so excited he forgot to put his beer down as he stood and vigorously tossed his hands in the air - spraying beer all over everyone, including me, who was in his vicinity. It's only a matter of time before some mental midget falls over an upper deck railing while "waving." Then how will you feel wave starters? You don't want moron blood on your hands. You really don't.
So let's make a deal - let's go to the games, be loud as hell, scream at opposing players and make the Dome a brutal place for opponents to play. But let's leave the wave at home, because really, if you're doing the wave, you're no better than these guys.

Nebraska Isn't Iowa - And Doesn't Want To Be
"At the end of the day, I didn't see enough improvement in areas that were for us to move forward to play championship-caliber football. We just weren't good enough in games that mattered against championship-quality opponents. I didn't see that changing." That, for me, is the most telling quote from the press conference held by Nebraska Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst in which he formally announced Head Football Coach Bo Pelini had been fired. Eichorst went on to say that coming from behind to beat an Iowa team that isn't as good as Nebraska, let alone Wisconsin or Minnesota, was not a sufficient reason to allow Pelini to keep his job.

Why an Ancient Biblical Vision Is Key to the World's Future
Spring books
David Gushee's attempt to define and defend the concept of the sacredness of life is a welcome reminder of why it is so important that we not take for granted the protections that surround our lives and the lives of others.
Against the death penalty
Last year, Connecticut repealed the death penalty and California declined to. Americans are conflicted about capital punishment.
Here's some good news: despite our short collective attention span, despite the fiscal-cliff debacle dominating the headlines shortly after the Newtown shooting, the U.S. scourge of gun violence is still part of the national conversation.
Now, every time I hear a public official mention Newtown and Aurora but not Chicago—which experienced a startling spike in gun homicides in 2012, mostly in poor, black neighborhoods—I'm ashamed at the implication that some killings deserve more shock and outrage than others. Still, whatever it takes to motivate people to take on the pro-gun lobby, I'm grateful to see it happening.
Though the number of death row inmates executed in 2012 remained unchanged from 2011 at 43, death penalty opponents say that capital punishment is on the wane.
Last year Connecticut upped to 17 the number of states to repeal the death penalty. And some states that have had relatively high numbers of executions in the past executed no one in 2012 or issued no new death sentences.
Among other things, Holy Week always brings to mind the tension between thinking doctrinally about Christ and thinking historically about Jesus.
The Green Mile (1999), directed by Frank Darabont
In a Journal of the American Academy of Religion article titled "Capital Punishment and Human Sacrifice" (March 2000), Brian K.
"The politics of death is a bottomless pit that sucks everybody in." This judgment, offered by a California attorney who has tried more than 100 capital cases, aptly summarizes the complicated arguments for and against the death penalty in American culture. After all, who can deny the horrors of a Ted Bundy or a Jeffrey Dahmer?
A moratorium on the death penalty
It took Richard Nixon, a fervent anticommunist, to begin a new era of relations with communist China, and perhaps it takes a Republican supporter of capital punishment to launch a new era of opposition to the death penalty.
McVeigh's execution should be televised
After 30 years of directing funerals, I've come to believe in open caskets. A service to which everybody but the deceased is invited, like a wedding without the bride or a baptism without the baby, denies the essential reality of the occasion, misses the focal point. It is why we comb wreckage, drag rivers and bring our war dead home.

The Associates Council is pleased to invite you to the 17th annual fall fundraiser, Midnight in Paris, an evening fête and fundraiser to help The Children's Aid Society enable children in poverty to succeed and thrive. Details below:
Did you know? A history of trauma can impact a child's language, memory, attention and sequencing skills. The effects of traumatic stress on children have been well-documented and as a result health, social service and education practitioners have developed many effective strategies for addressing the needs of trauma-effected youth.
Staten Island politicians came out to The Children's Aid Society's Goodhue Center last week to share their love of reading with summer camp youth for its very first 'Reading Leaders Day'. Councilwoman Debi Rose, Assemblymember Matthew Titone, Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano along with representatives from the offices of the Richmond County District Attorney, State Senator Diane J.
"Tell your kids to let you know when you are being cranky," advised Myrna Torres, deputy director of the School Age Division for Community Schools to a room full of parents on Tuesday, July 30.
Yesterday, JPMorgan Chase hosted a "Build-A-Bike" event to benefit 16 kids from our Dunlevy Milbank Community Center in Central Harlem.
Time Warner Cable (TWC) recently awarded a $3,500 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Summer Challenge Grant to the summer program at I.S. 218, a Children's Aid community school.
Family, friends and staff looked on with pride as their children paraded into the decorated gym at the P.S. 152 Dyckman Valley School this past Tuesday for the school's very first Head Start "Moving Up" ceremony.

Are you ready for winter? Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is declaring the first full week in November, as Winter Awareness Week.
The annual campaign, sponsored by Wisconsin Emergency Management reminds people to be prepared for winter conditions that could threaten their safety.
According to Tod Pritchard, Wisconsin Emergency Management's Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, "the number one thing to do is make sure you have an emergency supply kit in your car. It could save your life."
Television and radio public service announcements will be airing in November, according to a news release, urging viewers and listeners to keep one of those emergency kits in their vehicles.
If you don't have one, you can sign up for a chance to win a winter survival kit here.
The news release says winter storms are considered deceptive killers because most deaths are indirectly related to the storm. For example, in the last five years Wisconsin has averaged 56,000 motor vehicle crashes during winter months. An average of 55 people are killed and 6,000 injured on icy or snow-covered road.

Introducing the Unreal Canucks GIF Tournament, a quest to determine which Canucks GIF is the greatest in existence. We've narrowed it down to 32 candidates, divided into four divisions then seeded, one through eight. Now we need your help. An important note: this isn't just something to do while the players and the owners waste time bickering over who should get what's left of the money they're burning — it's also a super-important initiative. After all, if we don't do this, how else will we know? AND WE MUST KNOW.
(2) We call this gif DANIEL SEDIN GETS KESLURKED.
This is the Platonic form of Keslurking. What we see in the world and describe as Keslurking is only so defined as it conforms to the perfect idea of Keslurking that we envision in our mind. This gif is that perfect idea of Keslurking. While other Keslurks may be more creative or bizarre, this is Keslurking distilled to its essence. And it is beautiful.
(7) We call this gif HOCKEY TWO-STEP.
Sometimes you've just gotta dance. It doesn't matter if you're in the middle of a professional hockey game and the only available partner is Tomas Kopecky of the Chicago Blackhawks, when that urge to dance takes you over, you cannot resist. And since you're not in middle school any more, you don't keep your partner at arm's length when you dance; you must get intimate. So you press your body close to Kopecky, swivel your hips…and begin.
OKAY. Now let's vote.
WINNER – DANIEL SEDIN GETS KESLURKED (Tags: unreal canucks gif tournament

Winona State to Float New Classroom Boat
Posted at: 06/28/2013 10:48 AM
Updated at: 06/28/2013 10:49 AM
WINONA, Minn. (AP) - Winona State University is launching a boat that will serve as a floating classroom for students.
It's the second such effort for Winona State, which operated a floating houseboat in the 2000s before the Coast Guard ruled it out of code.
The university announced this week that that it has secured enough funding to begin work on the Dr. Calvin R. Fremling Floating Interpretive Center and Classroom. Winona State will use the 49-passenger boat primarily for field-based biology classes, as well as general environment and science classes.
Fremling was a longtime professor of biology at Winona State and renowned Mississippi River expert who died in 2010 at age 80.
The Winona Daily News reports Winona State hopes to have the boat ready for use by spring 2014.

Someone fired shots from a BB gun into a church. The shots narrowly missed a three-year-old girl.
People were waiting outside the Batavia Assembly of God Church on North Spruce Street for a soup kitchen lunch Tuesday afternoon. Witnesses say they heard at least two shots and that one of the shots damaged the building. One woman says the shots came dangerously close to her daughter.
Valerie White said, "Very lucky, especially with the kids and stuff like that. The kids are more important, but still, it is just crazy. There is no need for stuff to go on. I don't know why they did it.
Police are still looking for the suspects, but say that it appears that the shots may have been fired from a nearby apartment complex.

Because its fun.
Enough said.
People complaining about being suspended or paying off the admins and accusing them of all this stupid crap is just that. Crap.
The administrative staff has been by far the best level of customer service i have ever had. All the bugs i have reported have been addressed. Any problems i have had, have also been addressed. Plus on top of that these guys are dedicated to pleasing the player base. This game has changed so much due to player suggestions and comments, it has really bumped up the experiance to a new level.
The main problem with this game is there are players within it that are content driven. And they expect a small company such as them to produce the same level as a 100 man operation. And so the company does accept donations and in return offers gifts in the form of content to those players. Unfortunately those players believe that they have a say in what the company does and often demands start to be made. When in reality CTS has drawn a line.
The people that have come here to this forum to drag my favorite game through the mud are those who have had multiple disciplinary actions taken against them. And are guilty of "Donating for position" in the game themselves when they wildly throw accusations around. And these people are in my opinion the definition of bad sportsman ship while playing games. And because of our small community, its harder to avoid the retards than it is in bigger games, because there is a perception that it is "easier" to be "somebody" in this game where in others such as WoW or EVE when a retard is trying to pretend he is king of the world, he can be universally ignored. Where here...often times those voices tend to be louder.
Has the actions of the players posting on the forums hurt my game. Yes. And i think it is unfair of them to ruin my gameplay because they did something wrong and the admins decided to enforce the rules on them. I personally dont care how much money they decided to voluntarily give. The developers of the game have intellectual control over it, and they set the rules be it soft conducted as a EULA or hard coded into the game itself.
I like starquest because I love space. I love the idea of being able to travel to places that are loosly based off real life, set up a colony on a star that i can find in real life and say its mine. The community that makes up the Alliance is tight nit and for the most part good people. And all the donators are not all bad. Many members of the community is friendly and helpful. We are small. And the Admin team while small is very dedicated to thier dream. And only speaking for myself...i would never listen to a group of people who recently were banned from a game about thier opinions.
Give the game a shot. Ive been hooked on it for years. I like sand box games, and there is a lot of potential and the game is being updated every week or so with new features, bug corrections, and updates.

I am here to chew bubblegum and to kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum!
If they care so much about pleasing the playerbase why is it at a all time low?
Most of Fleet just quit yesterday because of the horrid politics and favoritism in that game.
In fact I'd rather get Herpes than play SQO.

Because of your little group. Its pretty hypocritical saying things are one way when your group directly benifited from it and when you are disciplined you run around dragging the game through the mud because your sand castle was knocked over.
I play the game and I have a lot of fun. So keep trying to prove to me that I am not having fun.

"all time low" are your words, yours alone. That does not make it a fact.
Not "most of fleet quit".
A number of fleeties resigned their POSITIONS, which is something completely different.
If they quit or not is yet to be determined.
I think it's not too likely, but even IF they'll quit, they will do so for their own reasons.
Most likely, from their posts, because they feel that their work for Fleet has not "properly" been recognized.
Horrid politics:
Yes, some are indeed bad.
But then, it's all player-made and players make mistakes.
For a prime example, look in the mirror Legion.
Has been a major source of conflict since they went "live" with the game.
Kind of comes with giving players control over other players' possibilities in-game.
The signs indicate that this will be "properly" addressed, right along a suggestion that has been made a year ago.
While details are not out yet, that is my hope at least.
And in general:
Says the guy who's bragged about being the "most hardcore of the hardcore" and who's called everyone that disagrees with him a "carebear".
And see who's whining!
Face it:
You're not half as "hardcore" as you like to think you are!

in these times i don't open the door for anybody. having big dogs certainly helps. several times I have hollered out through a window. if u arent an invited guest u dont see the other side of my door.
what a farce!! seriously? bad publicity for the County. right..you wouldn't want people to think there might be ghosts. Just let them believe there are gang bangin hoodie heads and drug dealers. wasn't too long ago there was a shooting in the courthouse parking lot. wouldn't want folks getting afraid of ghosts.
these vermin thugs should NEVER see the light of day. what scumbags. we already have a state that is over legislated. BUT, we need laws of the books pertaining to crimes against the very young and the elderly. thugs who prey on senior citizens should get far more than they normally get for these heinous acts
yo..yo...yo...what up 'D'
Tyreek is a drug dealer AND a burglar..and now he assaults cops...while he had the non prison life in a half way house. well now he is half way back to the big house
cast your vote as to whether he is legal or illegal. dont worry NObama will take care of this
Concerned neighbor=clueless as to automatic weapons. Automatic weapons are not used at USANA... oh, by the way. if the stuff ever hits the fan and you need police help...call one of your neighbors instead of the police..you folks want to run the police out of town and shut down USANA... then you should look elsewhere for help when u need it....Your few neighbors who oppose the other stuff including K9 Training. are u kidding. that is a travesty. if grandpa wanders away from home or a child goes missing, get your neighbors mutt and see if he can track down your loved one and bring 'em home safely. sorry to tell you that only dogs trained to locate the missing are capable of doing that.
Okay if u rob a bank make sure you expose your tattoo's ..and give them your name. .. so if u get lost they can find you. u have to be a dummy to rob a bank.
Not wearing life jackets???....stars of the new Realty Show: Boating For Dummies
Time to tighten up here in NJ... time to ban knives of all sizes. ban bats and golf clubs. ban ropes, belts, and we better ban swimming pools...and then ban the BantheNRA guy
Both of these guys have done State time twice... they must be business partners!!!!.this heinous act against an elderly woman should put them away forever
DO IT and ENFORCE IT!!.....pole732 I agree with the money grabbing politician protest. But cellphone use is OUT OF CONTROL...every day I see cars all over the road. once was i would see a wayward vehicle and think..'whoa that guy must be drunk.'... now it is EVERY DAY... everywhere i drive. it's nuts!!....I say up the penalty$$$$$$$$$$$...maybe a few people will wake up
looks like Ramoane will be doing some State time for the third time.. guess he hasn't figured it out yet
well first: good chance that he may be legal in Delaware. the sad news is that he was in New Jersey. One of the important rules in firearm ownership is (if u are leaving your home state) is tro know the rules of the states u will travel through and be in. emtwraith I support your thoughts. But we are currently trapped with what we have in this state! Hate it!! would be a shame if the guy is legal in Delaware and he just didn't think about it when crossing the bridge. shame again because NJ likes to make examples out of people who are normally law abiding citizens while gang bangers get light sentences...get out and go shootin up the place.. FOUR MURDERS in Camden in the last 47 hours....only the bad guys walk around with guns and we are targets every time we go out.
brithgof...sorry but once again u and your anti-gun-nut-job pals are wrong. Legal ownership of firearms is at an all time high. Violent crime has DECREASED proportionately as firearm ownership has risen. That's not from me or the NRA. That is from the US Dept of Justice and FBI stats.
Nice to see that the gang bangers are doing a little city beautification by contributing to the shrubbery.
I can't wait to visit so a roving band of thugs can pummel me and steal my wallet. No thanks
you can bet the farm that Marquis was NOT on the way to the shooting range with his state issued firearm ID card. Possession of a firearm and three outstanding warrants? this guy should be put away. Good chance he will be.
The year is 2012....are people actually that unaware that they would leave prescription medication hanging around a house during a party...especially one with young people. prescription drug abuse is right at the top of addictions in this country. hello........
he said .."I've done what I've had to do."....well that says it all whether in the military or in regular daily living.

Salmon charter fishing boats heading out to sea just before dawn on Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon. Also lots of seagulls and ambient sounds of a small town fishing harbor in the very early morning. Recorded at about 6:00 AM from the fuel dock at the Embarcadero marina in Newport, where I worked in the summers circa 1981. The sounds echo off a sea-wall about 80 meters from the dock - see the geotag. I just found an old note I made when I recorded this back in 1981. For the record, I started recording at 6:05 AM on August 22. I'm not exactly sure of the year but 1981 would be a good guess. The sounds you hear are (in order of appearance): the "Kai-Aku", the "Taku", an unnamed dory, the "Codfather II", an unnamed sport boat, a 2x4 I threw into the water, a group of seagulls that discovered a package of herring floating in the water, the "Pastime II", and the "Allegra". An MP3 version of this file can be found at http://www.freesound.org/people/daveincamas/sounds/21309/
Very Nice. Thank you.
very calming :-)
cool indeed - most ambient
Love this. Thank you.
Hi! I have a band and i would like to use some of this for the background of a song, do you mind?

We kept you up to date about Courtney Love's latest Twitter rant, which went down last week. The tirade was due to the fact that she believed that Dave Grohl was trying to get it on with her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. The magnitude of ick here is unbelievable. We all know Grohl was in Nirvana with Love's late husband, Kurt Cobain. So he's been around Frances since she was a tyke. But Ms. Courtney never is one for reason and she isn't one for tact, so one of her many tweets went something like, "Well if bean did have sex with @davegrohl which I've now heard reliable sources and a driver 3rd time, its fine on her part, he's insane."
Grohl and Frances both denied her allegations, with Grohl saying, "Unfortunately Courtney is on another hateful twitter rant. These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue." Frances gave a longer, very strongly worded statement, that ended with, "Twitter should ban my mother." That doesn't seem to be happening, but what is unfolding, is Love's typical Twitter shame-attack which always seems to happen to her a couple of days after she launches into a diatribe. This time her apology comes in the form of a tweet (what else) which reads, "Bean, sorry I believed the gossip. Mommy loves you" which made us want to grab Courtney and shake her by the shoulders. Next time, cut out the baby talk, Courtney. Actually, while we're wishing for things, how about this — Courtney, stop picking the gossip and talk to your daughter.
