I love my Mia. I never had terrible skin, but as I got older, I was less happy with it. Since I've started using the Mia, my skin has been fantastic. Whenever I go to Sephora the salespeople comment on my skin, even if I'm not looking for anything skin related. I have switched to a lighter coverage foundation, as I really only need to even my colour out - there's nothing for me to cover.

I use this at night only, to help remove my longwear makeup. I was having major issues with my skin- breaking out like crazy and nothing was helping. I decided to invest in a Clarsonic in a desperate attempt to gain control of my skin again. I've found since I've been using this with the sensitive brush, the breakouts have been reduced drastically (down to just a pimple or two during that time of the month, but other than that smooth clear skin!). I'm finding I'm also getting less clogged pores on my forehead and I attribute this to the Mia. I really can't find anything negative about this product.

The Clarisonic is great! I had one years ago but it broke so I thought it was tine to get a new one. I've had my new one (mia) for about 6 months now and it works great still. I do see a difference when cleaning with this tool - my skin is definitely cleaner and no residue when wiping off my face.
I so still breakout on occasion but I think that is normal - I think it really helps with skin tone so you're always looking fresh! I use probably 5 times a week and would definitely recommend.

My skin:
- I have oily-normal skin and usually (thanks to the Clarisonic Mia) no acne. However prior to my Mia, I had tiny acne bumps spread all throughout my face and more prominent acne near my t-zone.
My experience with the Clarisonic Mia:
- I got this as a few years back when my acne was much worse (cystic in some areas). I was hoping the Mia would do the trick but to my surprise it broke me out worse (I'll explain what I did wrong, and how to prevent "purging" in a moment). Fast forward years later, I try to give the Clarisonic a try. This time no purging! However I did notice that for a month or so I didn't exactly see clearer skin. But after a month I noticed how soft, clear and even my skin felt and looked. I've been using it every night since.
My advice/prevent "purging":
- 1. Already have a good cleanser - Before you invest in the Clarisonic I strongly believe you have already needed to have found a good cleanser that works for you. Don't expect a bad cleanser to work any different with the Clarisonic.
- 2. Figure out what brush head works best for you - The Clarisonic can be a really harsh tool on your skin. Don't go 0-100, and start off with the roughest brush head. If you have sensitive skin Id highly suggest you buy the DELICATE brush head. The sensitive was too much for me.
- 3. Start off with only using your Clarisonic once a day - Again, the Clarisonic can be too abrasive. Start off once at night and then after a couple months think about using it twice.
- cleared my stubborn acne
- very easy to use
- overall significant improvement in skin smoothness and evenness
- costly, more of an investment tool, plus brush head replacement also adds up
- some may go through a purging phase in which your skin becomes worse before it gets better
- charger is convenient and easy, however the charger is unique to the Clarisonic, which can be difficult in times when your charger is lost or broken

What can I say? I like a good beauty gimmick and I fell for this one. I do not and never have had acne. I have clog prone combination skin that goes oily in the summer and dry in the winter, it can also be sensitive. There was virtually no change in my skin after months of using it. I tried a gamut of cleansers, moisturizers for after, etc. Looking for something different. I will say my skin felt very smooth but..that was really the only tangible evidence that something had changed. My skin was still just as clog prone, there was no improved clarity or appearance to my skin, and I still had those pesky dry areas to deal with. I eventually gave up and went back to manual. No big loss. Same as it ever was.

I am going to leave this review for both the Mia and the Mia2 because the original Mia and the Mia2 are exactly the same except the original Mia doesn't have the additional faster speed. So, I used this for 2 months, that's 8 weeks and I saw no improvement from my usual acne problems. It's not like this made my face break out and erupt with more acne than I would usually get, but there was literally no difference apart from the texture of my skin was smoother. When I thought about how much I paid for the cleansing system in comparrison to the results I saw, I was just as annoyed as I would have been if I had a massive breakout.
Now -- Let me talk about how it really feels on your face, not good. You see all the advertisments of the clear-skinned women using the clarisonic on their face and they look like they are relaxed and comforted by the experience of using the Clarisonic. These advertisments showed a completely different experience than mine to be perfectly honest! The outer bristles on the brush don't move so they just scrape across your skin and cause redness and the inner oscillating bristles are just too harsh and can even cause broken capillaries, luckily I didn't get to that point but if I wasn't careful I could easily have done that to myself. I definitley didn't feel like the people in the advertisments because I was making a constant pained expression as it scratched across my skin . The only thing that kept me using this was the hope that it would be the solution to my breakouts and that my skin would get used to it. Nope, my expectations were 100% unfulfilled. I'm just glad that I was able to take it back for a complete refund.

This product is worth every penny!
I've had my clarisonic mia for over three years and it is still in great shape!
The thing about clarisonics is that they osculate, not spin. so rather than irritate your face by spinning and just moving the dirt around, they actually pull the dirt and impurities out of your pores. This osculation motion is patented so no other skincare brush is going to have the same amazing effect on your skin. Other knock-off versions just don't have the same wonderful technology so they can be too harsh on skin and irritate it.
Clarisonics do all the work for you, so you shouldn't press extra hard onto the skin or move it around too much or do vigorous cleansing. just gentle, large, slow circular motions is plenty.
Also, don't use a scrub or cleanser with beads that could get caught in the clarisonic bc that can damage it and is too intense on skin.
I love the Mia because it is all I need. the other models have more than one speed and count for you, but this basic version does fine for me. I really think I would've found the extras annoying rather than useful.
I love the charger on this, the other models have cradle charger stands, which I hate. This magnetic plug is so easy to store and use.
I change the brush head out every three months (same as my toothbrush). There are so many options for brush heads and my favorite is the deep pore head. I feel like it really gets into my pores and cleans them out. I also take off the head and rinse it after each wash, it's super easy to just twist the head on and off. You can share it with a family member or spouse as long as you both have different brush heads.
I feel like this has made a huggeee difference in my skincare! I no longer get big cystic acne bumps, or really any acne. I can tell that my skincare is getting deeper into my pores. My face looks brighter and all the dead skin cells are really getting off. I don't have clogged pores like I used to.
When first starting out with this product I used it once every other day and experienced the purging stage. That's when the clarisonic is taking care of all the clogged up pores and impurities you didn't even know you had. This means there may be a few pimples to start with, but keep using it because after a week or two it'll be over and your skin will look so great!
Now, I use this once a day at night time so I don't over-wash my face.
I notice a huge difference in my skin when I don't use this, like when I forget to pack it on a trip (I rarely forget it now because I learned my lesson!)
I definitely think this is worth the money and nothing compares.
I think this least expensive model is fine and it really really helps sooo much

Industrial Carbon Capture Project Stores 317,000 MT in First Year
A project aimed at demonstrating the commercial viability of carbon capture, utilization and storage technology has injected 317,000 metric tons of CO2 in its first year, from an industrial plant into a subterranean reservoir.
Led by the Illinois State Geological Survey, the Illinois Basin–Decatur Project is the first demonstration-scale project in the United States to use CO2 from an industrial source and inject it into a saline reservoir. The CO2 is being captured from an ethanol production facility operated by the Archer Daniels Midland Company in Decatur, Ill., and is being injected in a compressed "supercritical" state into the Mount Simon Sandstone reservoir some 7,000 feet below the surface. Injection operations were initiated November 17, 2011, with an average injection rate of 1,000 metric tons daily.
Analysis of data collected during the characterization phase of the project indicated the lower Mount Simon formation has the necessary geological characteristics to be a good injection target, a conclusion supported so far by data accumulated from continuous monitoring of the site, according to the National Energy Technology Laboratory at the US Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy. The results from various monitoring activities – including tracking the underground CO2 plume; sensing subsurface disturbances; and continuous scrutiny of groundwater, shallow subsurface, land surface, and atmosphere around the injection site – show the Mount Simon Sandstone reservoir is performing as expected, with "very good injectivity, excellent storage capacity, and no significant adverse environmental issues," the NETL says.
In total, the project should inject 1 million metric tons of CO2 into the reservoir. NETL says the demonstration-scale project provides the opportunity to test how a real-world injection operation will perform where brief interruptions occur, such as planned maintenance of the compression equipment and conducting of various well tests, as required by regulations.
Successfully testing and demonstrating CCUS technologies under real-world conditions is an important step toward eventual commercial deployment of the technology as an option in helping mitigate atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions, the Department says.
In October, GE Global Research signed a contract with NETL to build a multi-point sensing system to monitor carbon dioxide injected into geothermal containment wells, such as the one at Mount Simon. GE says its goal is to develop an incredibly resilient cable and sensor system that can withstand an extremely harsh environment – temperatures as hot as 482°F and pressures topping 10,000 psi – for an extended period of time. The company has already developed a single sensor system that can tolerate temperatures as high as 705°F and 3,000 psi for short periods.

How much carbon is burned to separate & then compress 317,000 MT of CO2, to 10,000 psi?
That energy is lost for ever.

(2) TCU at Louisiana Tech

TCU would of course prefer to be heading to a third consecutive BCS game, but there's no time to dwell on that with Western Athletic Conference champ Louisiana Tech looking to cap off its season with an eighth straight victory.
Making their seventh consecutive bowl appearance and last before joining the Big 12 on July 1, the No. 16 Horned Frogs make their third Poinsettia Bowl appearance Wednesday when they face the Bulldogs for the first time.
A 50-48 season-opening defeat at Baylor and a 40-33 loss to SMU on Oct. 1 dropped TCU (10-2) out of the Top 25 and doubled their loss total from the previous two years combined. The Horned Frogs were 12-0 in 2009 before losing to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, and they completed a 13-0 season last year with a 21-19 victory over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.
TCU was seemingly out of contention for a big-money bowl in 2011, but seven consecutive wins - including a 36-35 victory at then-No. 5 Boise State on Nov. 12 - brought it back into the BCS conversation.
However, for a team from a non-qualifying conference to earn an at-large BCS bid, it must win its conference, finish ahead of one conference champion from an automatic-qualifying league and be ranked at least 16th in the final BCS poll. The Frogs won the Mountain West and finished ahead of West Virginia from the Big East, but had a final BCS ranking of 18th.
"There's nobody to blame (we didn't get a BCS berth) but TCU because we had two losses," said coach Gary Patterson, one win shy of tying Dutch Meyer as the program's all-time leader with 108. "If we had one loss, we probably wouldn't be in this situation.
"Now we need to go win a ballgame against Louisiana Tech. They're a good football team and they will be fired up since it's been a while since they've been to a bowl game."
The Bulldogs (8-4) make their sixth bowl appearance, their last coming in 2008 when they defeated Northern Illinois in the Independence Bowl. Louisiana Tech arrives in San Diego on the heels of winning its first conference title since 2001.
The team is on its best run since an eight-game winning streak Sept. 11-Nov. 13, 1999. Three of its losses have been by six or fewer points.
"I know it's good to win seven straight and it feels good but I'm not super surprised," wide receiver Taulib Ikharo said.
Neither is Patterson.
"We have a lot of respect for Louisiana Tech and coach Sonny Dykes," he said. "They're conference champions and have had an outstanding season with some very impressive wins. They've gone on the road and beat an SEC team (27-7 over Mississippi on Nov. 12). They are very skilled on both sides of the ball."
The Bulldogs are averaging 30.6 points and 397.5 yards - both in the top 50 in the FBS - and have been even better since redshirt junior quarterback Colby Cameron took over for injured freshman Nick Isham five games ago. Louisiana Tech is scoring 34.8 per contest with 445.6 yards with Cameron starting.
Cameron has thrown for 1,403 yards with 11 TDs and two INTs, and he's confident he'll be able to connect with Ikharo and first-team all-WAC wide receiver Quinton Patton (1,135 yards, 10 TDs).
"Knowing (offensive coordinator) coach (Tony) Franklin, he will have an excellent game plan and I think we will be able to execute it against a great defense," Cameron said.
While the Frogs are well off last season's pace when they led the FBS in total defense at 228.5 yards per game and scoring defense at 12.0 points, they're still a force. TCU is holding opponents to 346.3 yards per contest - 32nd in the nation - and an average of 21.3 points, 30th in the FBS.
The anchor of that unit, senior linebacker Tank Carder, will play his final college game after being named the conference defensive player of the year for the second consecutive season. He has 66 tackles with two interceptions - both returned for scores.
"I actually saw him last year when TCU played in the Rose Bowl," Cameron said. "It's funny but it's great to know that you're up against a great defensive player."
TCU sophomore quarterback Casey Pachall could face his share of those as he makes his bowl debut.
WAC defensive player of the year Adrien Cole leads the Bulldogs with 121 tackles, including a team-best 12 for loss, while Christian Lacey is tied with TCU end Stansly Maponga with 8 1/2 sacks.
Louisiana Tech is third in the nation with 20 INTs, while Pachall has thrown only six picks to go with his 24 TDs. He's helped the Horned Frogs average 41.7 points - ninth in the FBS.
Pachall, though, will not be working with Justin Fuente in San Diego after the Frogs' former co-offensive coordinator was named Memphis coach Dec. 7. Co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Jarrett Anderson will likely handle Fuente's duties.
TCU is averaging 210.2 yards on the ground, while Louisiana Tech is allowing 122.2 per contest.
Special teams could also play a major role in who leaves Qualcomm Stadium with a victory. TCU senior Greg McCoy is fourth in the country in kickoff return average at 31.6 yards, while Louisiana Tech punter Ryan Allen, the Ray Guy Award winner, leads the nation with 36 punts inside the 20-yard line.
TCU defeated then-unbeaten Boise State 17-16 in the 2008 Poinsettia Bowl, two years after making its debut in the game with a 37-7 victory over Northern Illinois.

Twins 5, Boston 4
MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—Jacque Jones used to shake Doug Mientkiewicz's hand in the dugout after a big homer. This time, Jones could only look at his former teammate as he passed him at first base.
Jones hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the eighth inning to lead the Minnesota Twins over Boston 5-4 on Saturday, a few hours after the clubs were involved in a four-team trade that sent Mientkiewicz to the Red Sox.
"I still love him, but he's on the other team now," Jones said. "Doug did a lot of good things over here and we're going to miss him. I wish him the best."
By the time the game started, Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra was on a plane to join the Chicago Cubs, and Mientkiewicz was in the starting lineup for Boston.
"I'm really proud of the guys out there on both teams," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, who was noticeably somber. "They went through a lot with the trades.
"Today was a really hard day," he added.
Jones hit his 17th homer off Alan Embree (2-2) with one out for the go-ahead run, after Michael Cuddyer tied it with a solo shot off Derek Lowe in the seventh.
"He was standing there looking at me and I could tell what he was thinking," Jones said of Mientkiewicz.
"I wanted to give him a forearm," Mientkiewicz said.
Juan Rincon (9-3) got two outs in the eighth, and Joe Nathan pitched a scoreless ninth for his 29th save in 30 opportunities as the Twins won for the 10th time in 12 games.
Garciaparra was already wearing his Boston jersey when manager Terry Francona called a team meeting before the game. Then, the news spread inside the clubhouse: The five-time All-Star shortstop and two-time AL batting champion was headed to the Cubs.
"We were all surprised, but it's part of the business," Kevin Millar said. "We've just got to go out and play."
The Red Sox wound up with Orlando Cabrera, Montreal's Gold Glove shortstop, and Mientkiewicz, while the Cubs got Garciaparra and minor league outfielder Matt Murton. The Twins acquired left-hander Justin Jones, a Class-A pitcher with the Cubs.
Mientkiewicz was wearing his Twins gear during pregame and talking with reporters, when bench coach Steve Liddle interrupted the session and took him away.
An hour later, Mientkiewicz was in a different uniform, wearing No. 13 for Boston. Playing first base and batting sixth, Mientkiewicz received a standing ovation before his first at-bat and finished 2-for-4.
"The last two days here were really neat," said Mientkiewicz, who went 3-for-3 with two RBIs against Boston for the Twins on Friday. "I won't forget it and the fans have been great to me."
Johnny Damon had two hits and two RBIs, and Mark Bellhorn homered for the Red Sox.
Boston took a 1-0 lead in the first on Bellhorn's 13th homer, a solo shot off Brad Radke with one out in the first. Minnesota tied it in the second on Corey Koskie's two-out RBI single.
Koskie started a Twins' rally in the fifth with a leadoff walk. Henry Blanco followed with an RBI double and he scored, one out later, on Shannon Stewart's RBI double to make it 3-1.
The Red Sox got a run back in the sixth when Manny Ramirez pushed a two-out RBI single down the right-field line.
Trailing 3-2, Boston scored twice in the seventh to take the lead. Mientkiewicz led off with a single and Ricky Gutierrez's two-out single put runners on first and second.
J.C. Romero relieved Radke and promptly threw a wild pitch to advance the runners. Damon followed with a two-run single up the middle to make it 4-3.
But the Twins quickly pulled even when Cuddyer led off the seventh against Lowe with his eighth homer.
To replace Mientkiewicz on the roster, the Twins selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Jesse Crain from Triple-A Rochester of the International League. … Stewart was at third base with Lew Ford up in the fifth inning, when Ford lined a foul ball off Stewart's left elbow. Stewart went down immediately and was attended to, but stayed on base. He was then replaced by Cuddyer to start the sixth. The team announced Stewart has a bruised left elbow. … Three of Boston's first basemen—Dave McCarty, Ortiz and Mientkiewicz—spent significant time in the Twins organization. The other, Millar, played at one time for the St. Paul Saints of the Northern League.

Marcelo Alejandro Estigarribia has reportedly touched down in Turin ahead of his medical with Juventus.
The Gazzetta dello Sport's website claims that the 23-year-old has arrived in Italy ahead of his loan move.
The Paraguayan, who is a left winger, will apparently speak to Old Lady officials later today.
Estigarribia caught Juventus' eye following an impressive Copa America campaign where his side finished the competition as runners-up.
The South American is contracted to French club Le Mans, but he spent last term on loan in Argentina with Newell's Old Boys.
The loan of the player has cost Juve around €450,000, while the option to buy clause is reportedly set at €5m.

Often they would carry small radios to listen to their favorite channels playing Chinese operas, traditional novels or historical stories. Afternoons would pass with a nap in the park or sitting out enjoying sunlit porches. My painting expresses a moment typical of a day like this in Beijing where I was born and grew up.

Vim has a built-in help. You can read the section about the argument list with the command :help argument-list and get a list of all the commands. :argadd filename to add a file to the argument list. :argedit filename to add a file and start editing it.

! generally means what you'd expect from "force", but what it means for specific command depends on the command.

You must be reading some very old doc, pkg_add has been gone from FreeBSD for quite a while. Instead, use pkg.

It's also worth noting the ~ command, which switches the case of the character under the cursor, and the gU operator which converts to uppercase across the given motion.

The Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Character
Nico Minoru, who occaionally uses the codename "Sister Grimm," is the daughter of super-villains who were occult witches/sorcerers.
From: "Nico Minoru" article on Wikipedia website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nico_Minoru; viewed 20 June 2006):
Nico Minoru (also known by the alias Sister Grimm) is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe, a member of the team of young superheroes known as the Runaways. Her first appearance was in Runaways (vol. 1) #1.
Nico Minoru is a somewhat rebellious goth teenager whose parents, Robert and Tina Minoru, appeared to be an average American, church-going, middle-class couple. In reality, they were dark wizards who were members of a secret society known as The Pride.
When Nico and the other children of The Pride discovered the truth about their parents, they ran away from home and were determined to defy their evil legacy. Nico briefly took the codename "Sister Grimm," which was her AIM screenname.
During a battle with The Pride, Nico discovered she had inherited her parents' abilities to manipulate magical energies. She came into possession of the mystical Staff of One when her mother attempted to stab her with the staff and instead Nico's body absorbed it.
Nico's blood must be shed before the staff will emerge for her to wield, a requirement she generally achieves by using a pocket knife... This allows for an interesting parallel to perceived goth culture, seeing as how "stereotypical" goth kids are often involved in self-mutilation. The exact extent of the staff's abilities are not known, but speculation is that it can generate a large variety of magical effects activated by Nico's simple voice commands. Nico has recently expounded on the Staff's abilities; before conjuring a spell, she must concentrate on painful memories, or memories that leave her with feelings of guilt. The only limitation to its abilities is that Nico has been unable to cast any one particular spell more than once.

The reason you don't get many atheist superheroes is that their worlds tend to be very openly magical and supernatural. Batman and Superman exist in the same continuity as Morpheus and the rest of the Endless, where Lucifer walks the Earth's beaches after quitting Hell (much to the charaign of the two angels assigned by the Creator to run it after his departure) and Thor hits on Bast at dinner parties. Meanwhile, one of the most public superhero groups in the Marvel universe had an actual God of Asgard on its roster for years, and has a anthropomorphic personification of death running around (and at least two characters have fallen in love with her).
That said, Nico Minoru of the Runaways claims to have been an atheist for a while. She had a change of heart after an encounter with the Gibborim, imprisoned giants who sought to wipe out all of humanity.

Hey guys,
I'm doing a project for Ohio State University about subordinate group representation in Marvel Comic's superhero population (pretty awesome, huh?)
A subordinate group basically means a population that's not a dominant group. And I've got 7 categories to fill; ethnic, gender, religious, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, and physical or mental ability. ..though I think I'll cut socioeconomic status do to it's fine line-ish qualities in comics.
So, how about I'll give what I've got so far, and then feel free to add to my lists. I think I have a pretty good handle on the MU, but it's still huge and I don't want to forget anybody. Should be fun anyway...
...Noriko Ashida aka Surge from New X-Men, Shiro Yoshida aka Sunfire, Hisako Ichiki from Astonishing X-Men, and Nico Minoru from the Runaways are all of Japanese descent. Nico was a former altar girl and could easily quote Bible passages, although it's unknown if she still practices.
Xi'an "Shan" Coy Mahn aka Karma is Vietnamese. She is also Catholic.
...Rahne Sinclair aka Wolfsbane is a devout Scots Presbyterian.
Sooraya Qadir aka Dust from the New X-Men is a Sunni Muslim.
Storm is obviously deeply religious, although it's hard to pinpoint just what her religion is. It's a form of goddess worship certainly, but not really like any of its New Age forms.

Jane's Journal: Excerpt from July 14, 1960
14th July 1960
"We really did manage to get off today. We woke at dawn ... Left about 9 and arrived about 11. The fisherman were all along the beaches frying their dagga fish. It looked as though patches of sand had been whitewashed. Above, the mountains rose up steeply behind the beaches. The slopes were thickly covered with accacia and other trees -Miombo woodland? Every so often a stream cascaded down the vallys between the ridges, with its thick fringe of forest -the home of the chimps.
Jane's first big discovery: chimps eat meat
At 7:40 a.m. on October 30, sitting on her Peak, Jane heard a wild commotion in the treetops below her. She heard some "angry little screams," and finally saw 1 of 3 chimpanzees grasping something pink. Two bushpigs ran around the base of the tree, and chased a smaller chimpanzee up it. Baboons tried to get close, snarling and skirmishing with the chimps. Eventually the chimp with the coveted goods moved out onto a high, bare branch and Jane could see he was holding a piece of carcass.
'Big Man' fossil looks more human than chimp
A fossil discovery described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is inconsistent with common notions that our direct evolutionary ancestors looked more like chimpanzees or gorillas than humans.
Like the famous "Lucy," this fossil, dubbed "Big Man," is Australopithecus afarensis, a bipedal primate and direct ancestor of humans. Big Man stood about 5'5," had legs that would have been good for running, and had a rib cage similar to our own. He was much taller than Lucy.
Jane on 'The Peak' and chimps in the trees
After a few weeks at Gombe, Jane found a perfect vantage point for watching the chimpanzees. It was a high ridge that gave her a good view in all directions. She could see the chimpanzees moving in the trees, and she could hear if they called.
Proud Daddies? Study shows male Barbary macaques use infants as status symbols
Check out this interesting New York Times article, which describes unusual behavior in Barbary macaque males. They use infants -- their own and others -- to facilitate bonding with other males, toting infants as status symbols. Dr.
"Retired" entertainment chimps: a very real problem
If you're a frequent visitor to our website or belong to our online community*, you may have heard us explain that entertainment chimpanzees generally can't be retired to zoos, because they haven't learned chimpanzee social skills and therefore don't fit in easily with established chimpanzee groups.
New study links chimp aggression to resource gain
A new study shows that male chimpanzee groups move into the territory of other chimpanzee groups to attack them and ultimately take over the territory or mates. But the scientists who conducted the study say they are reluctant to draw comparisons to human warfare. Instead, they are emphasizing the individual cooperation involved.
The Guardian quotes scientist John Mitani, a primate behavioral ecologist at the University of Michigan:
Gombe's biodiversity
What kind of animals would Jane have seen in her first weeks at Gombe? The forest to this day is home to an array of species. Baboons are seemingly ubiquitous, and red colobus monkeys are common as well.
Jane wrote a letter to her family describing some of the animals she encountered:
Scientists study orangutan gestures and body language
Scientists have identified more than 40 gestures used by orangutans to communicate.
To initiate play, for example, the apes used gestures including back rolls and blowing rasberries, while, quite familiarly "nudge and 'shoo' movements meant an ape wanted to be left alone."
Two scientists from the University of St Andrews in Scotland observed 28 orangutans at Twycross Zoo in the UK, Apenheul Primate Park in the Netherlands, and Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust in Jersey.
Thanks, Nat Geo!
National Geographic posted this video of a chimp baby in Tanzania doing what "kids" do best -- playing!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Armed with a notebook and binoculars
Jane had come to East Africa from England in 1957, to pursue a dream she'd had since she was a child: to study and write about animals in Africa. In Kenya, legendary anthropologist Louis Leakey hired her as his assistant. He was eager to organize field studies of all the great apes in the wild, for they could teach much about human evolution.
Doctors perform ear surgery on zoo chimpanzee
New Zealand surgeons have performed what is thought to be the first ear surgery ever done on a chimpanzee.
What was Known?
What was known about chimpanzees when Jane Goodall stepped off that boat to begin her study of the wild chimp communities living in Tanzanian forest around one of the world's longest, largest and deepest freshwater lakes, (Lake Tanganyika)?
NGeo Video: Self-Recognition in Apes
You may have read about the "mark test" or "mirror test." It's a way scientists study self-awareness or self-recognition. They surreptitiously put a colored dot or other mark on a subject -- often somewhere on the face. If, while looking in a mirror, subjects touch their marks or adjust their position to see them better, it's clear they understand they're looking at an image of themselves, rather than at other beings. Species that have passed the mark test include all great apes, bottlenose dolphins and magpies.
In Fort Pierce, bringing the doctor to the chimps
Save the Chimps, a sanctuary in Ft. Pierce, Florida for former laboratory and entertainment chimpanzees (including the "astrochimps" the Air Force used in research), found a creative solution to the problems created by transporting chimpanzees for medical care: a mobile vet lab.

Eric Clapton @ US Airways Center
What's up with Eric Clapton in 2013? A glance at the past reveals the future. Clapton came to prominence in the mid-1960s British blues scene and quickly became a god. He took psychedelic music to new heights with Cream and Blind Faith, then managed to issue some of his best work, including a brief collaboration with Duane Allman as Derek and the Dominos (which gave us "Layla"), all while bogged down in a heroin stupor. Sticking to a twangier path, a series of laid-back country-tinged albums followed (including a cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff"). But by the 1980s, Clapton seemed, well, passé, that godly status slipping faster than a penguin on ice. Resurrected as the "Forever Man," Clapton's Reagan-era output was overproduced, tepid, and mostly forgettable. Credit MTV's Unplugged series in the early 1990s for Clapton's revival, spurred by a stripped-bare, heartfelt performance on the show. With a return to his blues roots, albums with blues icons JJ Cale and B.B. King, and a successful Cream reunion, EC's back in the game. Old Sock, out two days before the Phoenix tour kickoff, carries that momentum — with plenty of unexpected visitations to that scattered and fascinating past.

QUICK TAKES – If We Raise the Christian Flag Above Old Glory, What Does That Really Imply?
In a not-so-veiled protest against the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage, a pastor in North Carolina decided last week to raise a Christian flag above the American flag. Aside from this motivation, this gesture, as some of our contributors who first brought the incident to our attention have argued, also touches […]Read More

Romancing the Stone (1984)
45 mistakes
Directed by: Robert Zemeckis
Starring: Danny DeVito, Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas
Revealing mistake: When Michael Douglas attempts to swing on a vine over a deep abyss, the (fake) rock that he runs into on the other side gives like a marshmallow.
Continuity mistake: When Jack goes down the mud slide he loses his hat. In the next shot the hat is back on his head.
Continuity mistake: When Ralph drives off with Zolo in the car and turns around in the road, the bus passengers are shown further up the road. However, once the car is in forward motion, they are not seen again.
Continuity mistake: When Joan tries to cross the gorge on the decrepit bridge the distance of planks on this bridge differs largely, depending on the camera angle.
Continuity mistake: As Jack presents Joan with the necklace when they are seated at dinner during the festival scene, the one he is holding in his hand is a beaded necklace, to attract more light for the further camera shot, only when the close up of the table occurs it is a completely different necklace.
Continuity mistake: Before Joan and Jack go down the waterfall in Ralph's car they are seen heading for the sliding roof to get out. In the next, wide shot a split second later they are hanging on to the sides.
Continuity mistake: When Zolo stops Ralph's car he shows him a police ID. The way he holds up the ID differs completely, depending on the camera angle.
Continuity mistake: When Joan and her editor wait for a cab to take her to the airport it is snowing in some camera angles, in others not. Her jacket is either dry or wet correspondingly.
Factual error: When Ralph's Renault R4 goes head on into the shallow and rocky river it emerges without a dent.
Continuity mistake: The piece of wood Zolo grabs as a weapon changes shape between shots. When he threatens Joan with it, seen from behind the end is quite even, but when seen from the front (and when he picks it up at first) it is pointy.
Continuity mistake: The straw surrounding the rabbit statue is completely dry, although it has been in water for many years only covered by coarse cloth.
Revealing mistake: It's quite visible that the vine Jack uses to cross the gorge is a rope.
Continuity mistake: When Joan takes over cutting the leaves in the jungle, she drops the machete when she comes upon the skeleton. Neither she nor Jack bend over to pick it up, but Jack has it in the plane to kill the snake.
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Joan crash into the river above the waterfall, the hood on their car pops open and appears to be seriously askew. In the next scene, as they float down the river, the hood has become tightly closed.
Continuity mistake: When Zolo catches Joan, Jack and all, Ira has the map in one hand. In one clip it is folded out and the front is shown. In the next clip it is folded differently.
Continuity mistake: When Joan slides down the hill through the jungle, she lands in a pool of water, with her back to the 'slide'. But in the next clip she has turned 180 degrees.
Continuity mistake: After Joan and Jack jump out of the car in the waterfall, Jack exits the water, stands on a rock, and waves at Joan. When the angle changes he is coming out again, repeating all the movements.
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Joan's Renault takes a nose-dive in the river, Elaine's hair is dry and fluffy in the angles shot from behind, but drenched in water in the ones shot from the front.
Revealing mistake: After Jack crosses the bridge, the guards shout "No los alcanzaremos" in a very obvious Mexican accent, revealing that the movie was not shot in Colombia.
Continuity mistake: After zooming through the cornfield in the SUV, the windshield swaps from dry and clean to covered in water between frames.

A String Master In Brooklyn
Before Samuel Zygmuntowicz begins building one of his famed instruments, he walks into his wood room and runs his hands over the many slabs, shingles and samples of lumber he's been collecting since the 1970s. There's lightly colored, high-altitude spruce for the tops, and thick, dark, shimmering maple from the Balkans for the bottoms. He takes a piece and listens for the hiss it makes when rubbed against skin. He taps the wood to hear its resonance, and digs his fingers through the grain to test toughness.
Mr. Zygmuntowicz is so meticulous because the instruments he builds are the tools of a profession known for absolute perfection. Isaac Stern, Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell and the entire Emerson String Quartet all have played his violins, violas and cellos.
Aaron Boyd, a violinist and concertmaster for the Tuscon Philharmonic, says that while other luthiers often charge for maintenance, or don't want to be bothered with the many small fixes an instrument requires, Mr. Zygmuntowicz is known for being flexible and curious about how to make improvements for a particular player.
"By working with violinists, he learns what works in the concert halls, and what suits us," Mr. Boyd said. "I think this has a great deal to do with why his violins sound the way they do."
Mr. Zygmuntowicz, 53, works in a modest studio in a brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn. He began his career as a journeyman, fine-tuning famous fiddles dropped off at a repair shop that was "like a pit stop for violinists." Working as an apprentice, he came into contact with instruments built by some of history's greatest violin-makers, such as Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati and Guadagnini.
Repairs could be as simple as replacing strings, or as complicated as disassembling a violin to its various pieces and reassembling it. According to Mr. Zygmuntowicz, the experience disavowed him of the hallowed respect some people impart on the well-known instruments of the past.
Today, when he works on an instrument, he tries to stay away from, "generalizations and brand names," because they "hide what's really going on. What you want to get into is the individual characteristics," of an instrument. Mr. Zygmuntowicz says that newer violins tend to project more sound than older ones, and that the chief advantage of a classic violin is that it allows people to play much more softly.
There is, he said, "a little bit more of a shock absorber in the sound," with older instruments. "The tactile feel of putting your bow down is a little padded." The result is a "very pure" sound.
Befitting his reputation, Mr. Zygmuntowicz's current work involves repairing instruments as much as building originals. Most of his clients are professional musicians who are soloists or featured members of an orchestra or quartet. His reputation has grown, and the current price for an original violin begins at more than $50,000. He says he produces about six instruments a year and, to date, he has built almost 180.
"If I have a personal goal," he said, "it's to do basically nothing on the instrument by rote. I want to understand what the implications of every choice are."

Super Bowl 2011 tech ads: Motorola Xoom, The Daily and, er, Justin Bieber
Super Bowl Sunday is the most important event in the US sporting calendar and it's also the launch day for the biggest TV ads of the year. With ads costing millions of dollars to place, it's only the big boys that can afford it, which explains why so many of them come from tech giants from around the world.
One of the most popular ads from this year's game was the Volkswagen commercial, featuring a mini Darth Vader, but the NFL-loving public was also treated to glimpses of the Motorola Xoom and The Daily tablet newspaper. Other highlights included a Best Buy ad featuring dark prince of rock Ozzy Osbourne and teenaged pop phenomenon Justin Bieber making some well-placed gags about 4G and a Chatter.com ad featuring half-time entertainers, the Black Eyed Peas. Other tech advertisers included Verizon, Godaddy.com, and Sony.
With so much emphasis on the ads, you might have forgotten about the game itself. If you don't want to know the result, then don't read the the next sentence - consider this your "spoiler alert".
The Green Bay Packers won 31-25 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, making it their fourth Super Bowl win and their first title since 1996. If you care more about the ads than the football, then read on to see all the tech ads from Super Bowl Sunday rounded up in one place.
