When I do black & white work in the darkroom, the room is never dark. The safe light is always on.
For color work, I load the tank in "Changing Room" bag and then the film is processed in daylight with a Jobo processor. I have the ability to print color in my darkroom and the room is dark while taking out the paper, placing the paper in the easel, the enlarger light exposes the paper, and then in the dark I load the tank with the paper. Then the paper is processes in daylight by the Jobo processor. I would recommend that you process the color film using the changing bag and a processor and then take the film to an optical only photo processing company such as http://goldencolor.com/
You can continue to do and enjoy photography with your problem.

Michigan quarterback Chad Henne hoists his MVP award. The Wolverines defeated the Florida Gators 41-35 during the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday, January 1, 2008. (Al Diaz/Miami Herald/MCT) / MCT
Former U-M quarterback Chad Henne is earning rave reviews after strong performances in the first two days of practice at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
Coming off a career-best performance in his final game as a Wolverine, Henne's stock for April's NFL Draft continues to rise. After outplaying Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow on New Year's Day (373 yards and three touchdowns), Henne continues to eclipse more heralded signal callers leading up to the draft.
Henne is earning the praise of scouts with both his physical tools and intangibles. Nearly every account from the practices has him outperforming USC's John David Booty, Kentucky's Andre Woodson and Hawaii's Colt Brennan.
Sports Illustrated lists Henne as the second-biggest riser so far.
"The former Wolverine has looked solid the past two days. He throws the nicest deep pass of any quarterback in attendance and has connected on several throws of 40-plus yards," draft analyst Tony Pauline said. (View his whole article here.)
John Clifford of Draftboardinsider.com had a similar assessment:
"Chad Henne was clearly throwing the best looking ball and is more consistent than John David Booty and Joe Flacco. Thats not to say good looking or consistent enough, or that Flacco is too far behind, intriguing for sure, but Im not buying what I expect to be a bit of a Cutler-like swell of hype. Neither Flacco nor Booty are screaming NFL starter against the baseline of Henne today," he said.
Like Sports Illustrated, Draftboardinsider.com has Henne as one of the players who has risen the most since the start of camp. (View his whole article here.)

Dark clouds and a few scattered storms drifted through Lafayette Parish last week.
But area retailers needed no umbrellas; for them, it was clear skies and bright sun.
Figures released by the Lafayette Economic Development Authority last week reflected a local economy that appears to be ever robust. The LEDA announcement said retail sales had passed $500 million in the parish in May, the second non-holiday month of the year that Lafayette retailers sold more than $500 million in food, apparel, general merchandise, furniture and more. Last year, Lafayette had one non-holiday month with more than $500 million in sales.
Year-to-date sales passed $2.4 billion, and LEDA president and CEO Gregg Gothreaux said the parish is apace or better with last year's record sales of $5.71 billion. No single factor drove big sales in May, Gothreaux said: It was just "more of the same."
Retailers I talked with last week couldn't put a finger on what exactly was driving business. Maybe they were too busy ringing up sales, which, through May, were up 4.25 percent over last year.
"Our numbers were definitely up," said Gerald Gerami of Rug Gallery by Gerami's. "We had the best June as a month since we've been in business in 15 years. Traffic is up, sales are up."
Gerami was uncertain what has been driving his sales this year, which he said are up around 15 percent or more over last year. But he cited a combination of factors, key among them that people sense the economy is better. He said he needs that type of optimism among his customers, people who spend disposable income.
At Randol's Restaurant, owner Frank Randol said his business is "on cruise control," with lots of business and leisure travelers dining in.
"When hotel/motel taxes are up, the restaurants have to benefit, and we do," he said. Hotel/motel receipts in the parish are up 3.31 percent over last year, LEDA's numbers show.
Initially, Randol said, the economy was sluggish in January as a tax break for Social Security ended. The difference in people's paychecks was "just enough everyone noticed," Randol said.
But he said Lafayette is "insulated and isolated" from bad times; business picked up and didn't quit.
"If we can get by the humidity and the mosquitoes the rest of the year, we'll be good," he said.
Mary Hays at Geaux Run, an Oil Center-based running store, said summer is slow there but numbers earlier in the year were encouraging for the store, which is just two years old. Still, she said, numbers are good, year over year, and most business comes in the autumn and later, when temperatures drop.
Across most of the board, retailers were seeing more success this year than last. Year to date through May, food sales were up 3.8 percent; apparel, 3.9; general merchandise, 3.3; auto, 9.1 and furniture, 8.8. Only building materials sales declined, and that was by less than 1 percent.
"More of the same," is how Gothreaux describes it.
It sounds like prosperity.

Visceral's Dave Woldman wants to keep the focus on horror, not action.
By Bennett Ring on February 1, 2013 at 6:31 pm
At a recent EA event, games.on.net had the chance to sit down with Visceral's Dave Woldman, senior producer on Dead Space 3. Woldman discussed Visceral's approach to horror, how they're planning to keep the game scary, and how truly successful horror is about the absence of combat, and more about what you don't show rather than what you do.
Woldman also touched on the Dead Space community's reaction to the new game, saying "People are resistant to change. They don't know about the thought processes we go through, and that what we're trying to do is evolve the franchise, deliver more of what they want in new and creative ways.
"I think the natural resistance to change is something expect, especially when you have such wonderful, rabid, passionate fans that we have."

iBuyPower to include USB 3.0 on all desktop PCs
updated 05:45 pm EDT, Tue August 10, 2010
iBuyPower brings USB 3.0 to all its PCs for free
Gaming PC maker iBuyPower announced on Tuesday that it will offer USB 3.0 ports on all of its desktop PCs free of charge. This includes systems that do not have USB 3.0-compatible mainboards. The upgrade will let users transfer data at up to 5Gbps, or about 10 times faster than USB 2.0.
iBuyPower believes this will help future-proof its PCs, and the company wants to beat competitors to bringing this to market as standard fare across the range. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.0 and 2.0 devices, but works best with fast external drives such as SSDs.

If you light up, put it out. And if youre a smoker, its never too late to quit, especially if you want to avoid cardiovascular disease.
Kathleen Mahon is coordinator of the Women at Heart project at the Central Minnesota Heart Center at St. Cloud Hospital.
One of the effects of smoking is that it causes a stiffening of the arteries; healthy arteries arent stiff. But the good news is when people quit smoking, some of those negative effects are reversed, Mahon said.
Launched by ClearWay Minnesota in 2001, QUITPLAN Services is a free, professional counseling service that has helped more than 17,000 Minnesotans successfully quit using tobacco, according to its website.
The chance of having a heart attack drops about 50 percent after not smoking for one year, so its really never too late to quit, said Mahon, a certified nurse practitioner.
The smoking-cessation program is funded by a portion of the Minnesota tobacco settlement. Support is available to anyone who lives or works in Minnesota.
About 625,000 Minnesotans continue to smoke, and an increasing number use smokeless tobacco products, such as snuff and snus. The number of smokers who reported using smokeless tobacco in addition to cigarettes more than doubled since 2007, from 4.4 percent to 9.6 percent, according to a recent ClearWay Minnesota and Minnesota Department of Health survey.
According to the same survey, which appeared in a publication of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the majority of smokers want to quit and more are getting help; more than half of adult Minnesota smokers tried to quit in the past year.
Stress certainly does play a role in heart disease. It does a number of things in the body that impact the heart, and finding ways to lower stress is important, and physical activity helps with that because exercise tends to improve mood and reduce stress levels, Mahon said of smoking alternatives.
Last month, new features at QUITPLAN.com were implemented based on research about the kinds of online tools and interaction that really help people quit smoking.
The new site, which is set up as a supportive online community of people trying to quit or who have successfully quit, has the following features to increase the effectiveness of using the free resource:
»Set an individualized quit plan based on the five key behaviors that are recommended for successful quitting.
»Progress tracker highlights how many cigarettes an individual has not smoked, how much money theyve saved, how many fresh breaths of air theyve taken and more.
»Content and features are tailored to where a user is in their quitting journey. For example, different types of content would be as beneficial for a person just starting to gather resources about quitting as they would after that persons first week of being smoke-free.
»Access a professional quit coach either via phone or live Web chat.
»Interact with online communities of individuals also going through the quitting process. These communities can offer support, advice and encouragement to make the smoker know they are not alone in their quitting journey.

|Portacaval shunting attenuates portal hypertension and systemic hypotension in rat anaphylactic shock.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21181324 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Anaphylactic shock in rats is characterized by antigen-induced hepatic venoconstriction and the resultant portal hypertension. We determined the role of portal hypertension in anaphylactic hypotension by using the side-to-side portacaval shunt- and sham-operated rats sensitized with ovalbumin (1 mg). We measured the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), portal venous pressure (PVP), and central venous pressure (CVP) under pentobarbital anesthesia and spontaneous breathing. Anaphylactic hypotension was induced by an intravenous injection of ovalbumin (0.6 mg). In sham rats, the antigen caused not only an increase in PVP from 11.3 cmH(2)O to the peak of 27.9 cmH(2)O but also a decrease in MAP from 103 mmHg to the lowest value of 41 mmHg. CVP also decreased significantly after the antigen. In the portacaval shunt rats, in response to the antigen, PVP increased slightly, but significantly, to the peak of 17.5 cmH(2)O, CVP did not decrease, and MAP decreased to a lesser degree with the lowest value being 60 mmHg. These results suggest that the portacaval shunt attenuated anaphylactic portal hypertension and venous return decrease, partially preventing anaphylactic hypotension. In conclusion, portal hypertension is involved in rat anaphylactic hypotension presumably via splanchnic congestion resulting in decreased venous return and thus systemic arterial hypotension.

County Commission Chairwoman Mary Bolin-Lewis, above, and three local tourism and economic development officials went on a 10-day trip to Singapore and China last month.

Story: "County OKs Singapore trip budget overrun"
Ron Taylor
I've been to those locations during my career several times. Had I turned in an excessive overrun on an expense report like this one, it would have raised more than just eyebrows. It would have been the last expense report my company would have received from me. This wasn't an expense report, it was a boondoggle.
Randall Victor Brungart
Never will a politician who has returned from a self-serving junket ... say anything except that it has begun to return positive results. Read this: "Brevard County Commission Chair Mary Bolin Lewis on Tuesday defended the value of a 10-day, tax-funded trip she took last month to Singapore and China, saying it already is yielding positive results." Does anyone expect Bolin-Lewis to say anything but that she did a great job for taxpayers?
Joe Rathgeber
Fortunately, Ms. Bolin Lewis' paid vacations will be coming to an end. What are her credentials for marketing and attracting businesses here? What is astonishing is that the County Commission approved this junket in the first place. A nice paid vacation.
Letter: Deputies' shooting of gunman 'unnecessary'
Karen Berman
(The letter writer) watches too many TV cop shows. Get real. The fact they waited three hours before shooting him shows they used every means possible to subdue him without violence. You can't do much about people who have a "suicide-by-cop" mentality. As far as you using this as an example of a "police state" further shows you are clueless as to just what a police state is and how dangerous that situation really is. My condolences to the family of the man shot.
Herbert Gay
A police state? Go to a Third World country and you will see a real police state, or even go, to Korea, see soldiers standing street corners with automatic weapons, watching your every move, or even go to Mexico, see it there. Everyone can Monday morning quarter back this incident, however you were not there and don't know all the facts.
Story: "Man's body found two days after fiery A1A crash"
Philip Barone
Why was she still permitted to get behind the wheel of a car? Situations like this are glaring examples of how jacked up our legal institution is. This is just sad ... How could a person with this kind of record be on our streets is a shock. The police had cordoned off this area for about four hours, causing mayhem in the local area for traffic; all the while standing not feet from Art Stroud's body. What a travesty. I live very close to this section of A1A and, like Art Stroud, have crossed that same section of road multiple times a week. Unbelievable!
Teresa Palko
As long as she paid her fines, courts don't care, they just want the money. Fact! All involved are mourning and have people who love them and are devastated.
John Tuer
Why was she not at least designated at some point as a habitual traffic offender, so she could be taken off the streets for her next offense? Over and over again, you see plea bargains where "adjudication withheld" is the final result. Are they not allowed to look at prior offenses to determine a pattern?
John Thomas
Art (Stroud) was a gentle soul. He loved the outdoors and loved to surf. And he was the best house painter, ever. I only got to know him the last couple of years, when he did some work for me. You couldn't know a better human being. He deserved a hell of a lot better than this. Rest in peace, my friend.
Letter: "All obligated to pay for 'top-quality' schools"
Lisa Zelnick
I am more than happy to pay for top-quality schools. I am not at all happy, however, to pay for full-time salaries and benefits to five elected officials whose attitudes of entitlement are appalling. Nor am I happy to pay a superintendent in excess of $200,000 a year for a job that is performed through intimidation and scare tactics and who has lost the trust of the public.
Josh Krupnick
Without sound leadership, there is no way to get there. Let's change that first, then obtain the money.

Calling state Rep. Jennifer Carroll a patriot and a decorated Navy veteran, Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Scott officially welcomed her to the GOP ticket as his choice for lieutenant governor while standing in front of Naval Air Station Jacksonville on Thursday morning.
Carroll, 51, became the first black female Republican elected to the Florida Legislature and was re-elected four terms as the District 13 representative in the state house, representing Duval and Clay counties.
Carroll, a 20-year military veteran, is a political veteran who served as executive director of Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs under Gov. Jeb Bush.
Carroll, who was born in Trinidad and immigrated to the United States as a child, lives in Fleming Island. She is married with three children.
If elected with Scott, she'll be the state's first black lieutenant governor.
?She is the embodiment of the American dream," Scott said about Carroll. "Her conservative principles are in line with mine and ensures this fall will present a clear choice between conservatives with business experience and a plan to create 700,000 jobs and liberal Obamacrats who want to bring the failed Obama agenda to Florida.?
In her remarks, Carroll acknowledged supporting Scott's opponent, Bill McCollum, in the primary -- saying she made a promise to him early and it is important to keep your word. She said she grew to respect Scott during his campaign and said that her experience in the Legislature will complement his business experience in running Florida's executive branch.
"The bottom line is Rick and I share a common vision for the state of Florida. It's about jobs, jobs, jobs -- the economy," Carroll said. ?Rick and I share core conservative principles like lower taxes, less regulation, and smaller government.?
Gov. Charlie Crist considered Carroll as his running mate four years ago and she was on his short list for an appointment to the U.S. Senate seat when Mel Martinez resigned last year.
Her name was among several allegedly being considered for lieutenant governor. All those reportedly under consideration -- including Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton, former Mayor John Delaney, state Rep. Mike Weinstein and former Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings -- have held significant elective office,something Scott has not.
Carroll openly supported Bill McCollum in the Republican primary for governor and spoke on his behalf at a rally. She did not attend at a Scott rally in Jacksonville on Tuesday, but was reportedly attending a meeting of the Florida Commission on the Status of Women in Gainesville.
Marcella Washington, a political science professor at Florida State College at Jacksonville, has been doing research on black women elected officials in Duval County. She said Carroll slightly to the left of Scott politically, but not too far.
"Jennifer Carroll is an established 'insider' and she is loyal to the Republican Party leadership. That brand might be what Rick Scott was looking for, since he ran against the party establishment as a bona fide 'outsider,'" Washington told News4Jax.com "If she is visible and given the stage, she may bring a moderate style into the Scott campaign."
At Thursday's announcement Scott said Carroll will play an important role not only in the election, but in the running the state.
"She will be my partner to make sure we implement everything we talk about during the primary and what we talk about during the general (election)," Scott said.
State Sen. Stephen Wise said that Carroll's legislative experience will help a Rick Scott administration.
"I think she'll be ... a great person to advise him and keep in the right direction," Wise told Channel 4's Jason Law.
Alex Sink, the Democratic nominee for governor, also picked a running mate with legislative experience who lives in northeast Florida. One week before the primary, she announced that former state Rep. Rod Smith, of Gainesville, would join her on the ticket.
Smith, is a former state attorney with a reputation for being able to work across party lines, is perhaps best known as the prosecutor who convicted Danny Rolling of killing five people in Gainesville in 1990.
While the F/A-18 at the main gate of NAS Jacksonville served as the backdrop of the announcement, the Navy made the campaign set up on city property almost to the sidewalk along Roosevelt Boulevard so the Navy would not been affiliated with the campaign event.
After the first announcement, Scott and Carroll made a second Jacksonville appearance at Duval County's GOP headquarters on Beach Boulevard before heading to Orlando and Tampa for similar campaign stops.

Reference: Blue Mountain College
Blue Mountain College was founded in 1873 by Civil War Brigadier General Mark Perrin Lowrey. The 135+ year old co-educational institution has a stellar history of educating young women and men. The distinctive atmosphere of Blue Mountain College is attributable to a blending of several factors: the college's sense of its mission as a Christian and specifically a Baptist institution, the traditions created by a distinguished founding family and Christian educators, a careful balancing of liberal arts and vocational studies, a special kind of student life with a system of student government and honor uniquely available in a small Christian liberal arts college, and a family-like environment where students, faculty, and administrators genuinely believe in the worth of the individual. Blue Mountain College has over the years sought to prepare students for meaningful lives. Emphasis has been given to the development of strength of character and the ability to live creatively. Through small classes, a close faculty-student relationship, and a focus on the importance of the individual, the College has endeavored to produce graduates who are well-prepared academically and spiritually to accept places of leadership in their professions, in their communities, and in the work of the denomination.

Pulitzer Prize, Biography/Autobiography, 1999
Few American icons provoke more enduring fascination than Charles Lindbergh - renowned for his one-man transatlantic flight in 1927, remembered for the sorrow surrounding the kidnapping and death of his firstborn son in 1932, and reviled by many for his opposition to America's entry into World War II.
Lindbergh's is "a dramatic and disturbing American story," says the Los Angeles Times Book Review, and this biography - the first to be written with unrestricted access to the Lindbergh archives and extensive interviews of his friends, colleagues, and close family members - is "the definitive account."
©1999 A. Scott Berg (P)2013 Simon & Schuster Audio
"Lindbergh Bio"
Recommened if you are interested in the life of Lindy, early aviation or history of the mid-20th century. Very detailed account of Lindbergh's life. I felt it was very well written and read in this audio book.
"Needs updating"
Among the top.
Yes, very much.
Book dated. Since writing news has surfaced about Lingergs many affairs and extramarital children, proven by DNA analysis. Three mistresses were from Gremany in 1950-1960 with four known children. He did support and regularly see some of them. This requires a reevaluation of Linbergs character and NAZI German sympathies. It is claimed he fathered many children with primitive people, believing in eugenics and his own superior genome.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- One D.C. community wants to know what's going on with their police department. That's after two officers from the seventh district in D.C. were arrested last month - one for child pornography and another for allegedly running a prostitution ring out of his home.
In December, former officer Marc Washington was arrested and accused of producing child pornography. A few days later, his body was found in the Potomac River from what Police Chief Cathy Lanier said Thursday was likely suicide.
Also last month, officer Linwood Barnhill was arrested for prostituting teens out of his apartment.
"I'm alarmed and I'm actually outraged at what is taking place," said one district seven resident to a crowd of about 75 people at a town hall style meeting in southeast Thursday night.
Another resident talked about a loss of trust. "When I was a teenager, a pre-teen actually, I was sexually assaulted on my way to school. I didn't tell anyone. I didn't speak about it. I kept it to myself. So when I hear about someone in the community who we're supposed to have trust in violate that trust it
concerns me," he said.
The Washington and Barnhill arrests were followed by questions of corruption and cover up that Chief Lanier addressed at the town hall meeting.
"I don't know that there's any cause for alarm, no widespread corruption, misconduct going on in the seventh district," she said, describing the incidents as "isolated."
The nearly two hour long discussion was held at the Faith Tabernacle Church and questions from residents ranged from the recent arrests, to police-involved shootings, to what residents described as officers being unresponsive to their complaints.
Lanier urged residents to continue to speak up and report potential officer misconduct.
Still, some said they felt the problems might be deeper. "You say, 'if something doesn't feel right you should say something.' I'm saying something: something doesn't feel right. I hear you saying these are isolated incidents but something inside of me just doesn't feel right," said one woman.
"If it's a culture issue in seventh district then it needs to be addressed," said another man.
Lanier said, in recent years, the department has taken a tougher stance on policing its own - conducting integrity checks, looking for warning signs of potential criminal cops and enforcing a tougher hiring process.
"Back in 2006, we were hiring about one in ten who applied. Today it's one in 25," explained Lanier. "I can tell you people hired in 2006, many of those would not be hired today."
The chief insisted that her department is doing some self-examining.
"Where did we drop the ball? Did we miss something in the hiring process?" asked Lanier. "We are trying to weed out people before they commit misconduct at this level."
But Lanier also defended her officers.
"There's no gain for myself, the commander or anyone else to have another police officer violate the trust of the community because there's too many cops who come here everyday, work hard and do their job and care about the people they serve," she said.
While many said there's still more work to be done, the chief's words seemed to be received well.
"We should not overly generalize because most of the cops are not pimps and pedophiles," declared one man.
Another woman admitted, "I don't hate police officers. I respect police officers who come in day in and day out and put your life on the line."
But residents add, while police can do a lot, at some point, it is up to them.
As one man state passionately, "Whenever there's a crisis in the community, we know how to pack a joint," referring to the packed church Thursday night. "Don't just come out when there's a crisis," he continued. "If we can pack this church like this everyday then this will be a much better community because we collectively have made it happen."

Leaders in the retail produce trade are touring the fruit-growing regions of Chile, one of the top sources of fresh fruit during the North American winter.
The trip was designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the Chilean fresh fruit industry, including its orchards, vineyards, packing facilities, fruit inspection sites and Chile's main port of Valparaiso, as well as additionally being hosted by the Chilean Blueberry industry in Virquenco. Tour participants have met with growers and exporters to observe first-hand the Chilean produce industry's commitment to food safety and the intense efforts that go into ensuring that fresh fruit arrives in North America in the best possible quality and condition.
"Driven by North Americans' love for fresh summer fruit all year round, Chile has become a dominant exporter to the U.S. and Canada especially during our winter months," says Tom Tjerandsen, North American managing director of the Chilean Fresh Fruit Association. "By showing produce industry leaders Chile's unique production areas, this trip will deepen their understanding of Chile, its production zones, the commitment and passion of the growers and, hopefully, build a stronger bridge with one of America's leading trading partners."

French shoe designer Christian Louboutin has won the right to protect his signature red soles from copycats.
Just in time for New York Fashion Week, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday in a luxury battle that's pitted Louboutin against fellow Paris-based luxury label Yves Saint Laurent.
Louboutin had sued for infringement of its trademark sole, registered in 2008, asking $1 million in damages and specifically pointing to two scarlet-soled shoes in YSL's Resort 2011 collection.
The new ruling grants Louboutin exclusive trademark protection, as long as the color of the shoe differs from the sole.
The downside, for Louboutin: The YSL shoes in question are monochrome red on both the upper and the sole. The court ruled that other footwear designers can coat the bottoms of shoes red only when the entire pump is red, The Wall Street Journal notes.
The ruling got mixed reviews. "It is good news for the fashion world that an iconic part of a brand has been granted protection in this way," Simon Bennett, a Fox Williams Fashion Law Group partner, told The Telegraph.
But while YSL can continue to make its monochrome red shoes, the label's lawyer, David Bernstein, griped to the WSJ that "No designer should ever be allowed to monopolize a color."
As YSL has filed counterclaims against Louboutin, the case will now return to the district court for further proceedings, the WSJ reports.

News for Nerds - The Foods We Love to Hate
- 6/6/2014 |
- 10:00 am
Welcome back to News for Nerds! This week: a special anniversary, an acoustic tractor beam, and the powerful smell of bacon! But first, here are your headlines.
* * * * *
Once merely sustenance, food has become an industry unto itself. From TV shows to magazines to blogs to conversations around the water cooler, you probably spend a fair amount of time every day not just eating food, but also talking or reading about it.
But no matter how many episodes of Top Chef you watch, I'll bet there are still some foods that you just can't tolerate. And according to several studies, you can blame your genes -- and also your nose -- for some of your food issues.
Take, for instance, cilantro. Many people love it, but many people find it disgusting, citing a soapy taste, or saying it reminds them of bedbugs. The great Julia Child famously said that if she saw cilantro in a dish she was served, she would pick it out "and throw it on the floor."
But it's not really the taste of cilantro that turns people off. It's actually the smell. Research indicates that some people don't smell as well as others, and that we're all wired to pick up different scents anyway. People whose sense of smell is limited may not be picking up the good aromas that come along with cilantro, but instead only getting the bad aromas, which are indeed chemically similar to soap and bedbugs.
What's more, genetics plays a big part in all of this, since our sense of smell is something that is passed on to us through our genes. Take that, Padma Lakshmi!

It's been said that women get blamed for everything, and that they aren't taken as seriously as men are. Adding fuel to that fire is this recent story which says that hurricanes with female names tend to be more deadly than hurricanes with male names.
According to a study that looked at six decade's worth of storm data, it's because people subconsiously assume that storms with feminine names will be less dangerous. Yes, really.
In reality, a hurricane's name has nothing to do with how fierce it will be. But researchers found that the more feminine a storm's name, the more fatalities it caused. Like, a lot more. Their report says that changing a severe hurricane's name from Charley to Eloise could triple its death rate. Triple!
The researchers do caution that while gender stereotypes are likely to blame, it doesn't necessarily imply a negative view toward women. It may just be that people view men as more aggressive, and that they transfer those feelings to hurricanes.
And besides, anyone worried about women getting the short end of the gender stick should take comfort in the fact that, on the bright side, they also get to experience childbirth, deal with menstrual cramps and menopause, and get paid less for doing the same job. So it's pretty much a wash.

Here are a few other cool science stories you might enjoy:
- Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day, and the legacy of this historic date lives on in more than our memories. Hundreds of sunken wrecks remain buried in the watery depths off the coast of France. A new episode of the always-excellent PBS show NOVA premiered this week, and it uncovers a lot of cool stuff about the lost D-Day wreckage that you may not know. You can read a bit about it here, and watch the full episode here.
- News for Nerds fan David submitted this story, about the creation of a real-life tractor beam. Lots of fascinating science-y stuff here, including how, in lieu of lasers, the tractor beam uses ultrasonic waves to move macroscopic objects. (But would it be strong enough to pull in the Milennium Falcon? Lord Vader wants to know.)
- And finally, an answer to the age-old question, why does bacon smell so good? The folks at the American Chemical Society explain:

The nickname developed my signature. It highlights my art. It twinkles in my writing.
It created me. It tattooed my life.
For years I've grown my hair wild, wiry, nappy, free, and bushy..
He sings.."Bushy Head Bosh..Bushy Head Bosh"..
For days, actually since the funeral, I have hidden my hair, in ponytail. Tucked behind my ear. Tied tight behind me. Ruffed hair down the back of my neck, crumbled down the center of my back. My long locks hidden from my view, only revealing dark eyes, sunken cheeks, and weary neck.
I guess, I'm too afraid to welcome any sort of normalcy back into my life. Too fearful to "recover". Frightened of refusing grief.
I guess, I feel that if by chance I would appear functional, normal, usual, or "Myself", I would be admitting that "it" didn't occur. If I looked like the same person that I have been for over a decade..would I not be saying that death didn't come to visit. That death didn't come to stay longer than expected, then stole my priceless gem.
My life has changed.. it has turned and shook.
He created the nickname that created me…
As a baby; barely walking, he'd sing.."Bushy head, Bushy head Bosh".. I'd run.. and laugh.. wearing my Mommy's Afro 70's wig that would fluff and plump, in my wind.
Years grew old.. and "Bushy Head Bosh", stayed. It sang loud within..so much so..that it became who I am.
Wild, Free, spiraling here and there, twisted, curled, thick, nappy and bushy. Rarely a scalp to be seen. Full of secrets, entangled and intricate. Stubborn and unruly. But, with a little moisture..I ease, I slick, I lay and rest.
But, now.. I hide..I wrap.. I cover.. I band and bind. Me and my mourning has caused me to question my identity. Or maybe, it's that it's just too painful to unloose the me that he helped to create.
I think "Bushy Head Bosh", needs to rest up, thin out, and think. So, my hair will stay full, tightly wrapped, and behind me..until I'm ready.
I love you Pa Pa.

The Fast-Breaking Feast is a great day to Muslims. The grandeur of this occasion is not something conventional; it is something real and genuine. The Eid-al-Fitr is the day when the pious servants of Allah are rewarded and recompensed for the worship and religious acts that they have performed during the holy month of Ramazan.
I would also like to express my gratitude to the honorable Iranian nation and other Muslim nations for their massive and enthusiastic participation in the rallies that marked the international Day of Quds, the rallies which once again gave a fresh impetus to the issue of Palestine in the international arena, although the issue of Palestine will always remain alive.
Today, the usurpers of Quds have become more aware of the significant and momentous status of Palestine compared with fifty years ago. In those days, they thought that Palestine was a forgotten spot in the world. They called Palestine an uninhabited land. But of course some drawbacks and shortcomings also contributed to this wrong assumption.
It is a grave mistake if one holds the view that the Islamic governments' backing off in the face of arrogant powers on the issue of Palestine will appease these powers. As a matter of fact, the frequent backing off on the part of Islamic governments has prompted the arrogant U.S. government to nurture the vain dream of dominating the Middle East.
We hold a fair and logical stance on the issue of Palestine. Several decades ago, Egyptian statesman Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was the most popular Arab personality, stated in his slogans that the Egyptians would throw the Jewish usurpers of Palestine into the sea. Some years later, Saddam Hussein, the most hated Arab figure, said that he would put half of the Palestinian land on fire. But we would not approve of either of these two remarks.
The issue of Palestine is a criterion for judging how truthful those claiming to support democracy and human rights are in their claims. The Islamic Republic of Iran has presented a fair and logical solution to this issue. We have suggested that all native Palestinians, whether they are Muslims, Christians or Jews, should be allowed to take part in a general referendum before the eyes of the world and decide on a Palestinian government. Any government that is the result of this referendum will be a legitimate government.
Today, millions of Palestinians are living as refugees in various countries, and millions of other Palestinians are living in camps under the worst circumstances, but other people are living in the Palestinian territories. This is not fair and reasonable. The fact that some 50 or 55 years has since passed would not obliterate the crime that has been committed against Palestinians or reduce its severity.
For instance, following the collapse and disintegration of the former Soviet Union, many countries were once again governed by their own nations. Such things are possible and not unprecedented in the world. They have occurred in our time and before our eyes. This is also what should take place in Palestine, and it will sooner or later happen.
The raising of the banner of Islam by the Islamic Republic of Iran has infused other Muslim nations with great hopes and aspirations. This is the main reason for the enmity of arrogant powers toward our country. By the favor of Allah, these hopes and aspirations will yield positive results.
Despite all their propaganda and ballyhoo, the world's arrogant powers do not wield infinite power. You can see that in Iraq, what the United States had wished for did not materialize. Today, what is happening in Iraq is not what U.S. officials had hoped for.
Security in Iraq is not in the occupiers' interest. What provides a pretext for their continued occupation and domination of Iraq is insecurity in that country. Thus, they are the ones who are suspected with regard to the current acts of terrorism in Iraq. However, the Iraqi nation is not the kind of nation to accept or submit to U.S. hegemony and domination.
I hope the Iranian nation and other Muslim nations will soon witness the positive results of their sincere efforts and endeavors.

Exile at Large
The outsider's insights on the American soul.
Feb 28, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 23 • By SUSANNE KLINGENSTEIN
After graduating from Harvard in 1886, Santayana spent two years in Berlin. He returned to Harvard's philosophy department planning to write his thesis on Arthur Schopenhauer, whose bleak view of the subjugation of the intellect to the will had become all the rage in fin-de-siècle Europe. But Josiah Royce thought this unsound and made Santayana write about Rudolf Hermann Lotze, who, in combining science and Hegel, tried to argue that the universe can be explained as a functioning of the Weltgeist. Deep down, Santayana probably never forgave Royce.
Santayana stayed at Harvard to become a socially aloof but academi-cally productive and pro-foundly cherished teacher of philosophy. His students included T. S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Walter Lippmann. By 1911 Santaya-na's patience both with Harvard's noncommittal goodness and with the "thistles of trivial and narrow scholarship" was exhausted. When the death of his mother in 1912 provided him with a small legacy, he gladly resigned from his Harvard post.
He outlined his view of America in his farewell address at Berkeley. America, he said, was a country with "two mentalities, one a survival of the beliefs and standards of the fathers, the other an expression of the instincts, practice, and discoveries of the younger generations." The backwater mentality was at home in the "neat reproduction of the colonial mansion" while the dynamism of invention and industry produced the skyscraper.
American philosophy naturally dwelled in the fake colonial mansion. It was grafted onto Calvinism, which is "an expression of the agonized conscience." But as America evolved into material success, "the sense of sin totally evaporated" and "good-will became the great American virtue." Santayana then traced the rise of Transcendentalism, whose origins he located in the "colossal" egotism of the Germans. He credited Kant with having brought it "into vogue."
The transcendental method, though, was "sympathetic to the American mind," and Emerson became its premier prophet. "Emerson was a shrewd Yankee, by instinct on the winning side; he was a cheery, child-like soul, impervious to the evidence of evil as of everything that did not suit his transcendental individuality to appreciate or notice." From Emerson it was a quick jaunt to William James, who
That Santayana's assessment of the American intellect as insufferably cheerful was somewhat hasty, if not altogether unfair, is unfolded in a superb recent study by Christa Buschendorf, a professor of American studies at Goethe University in Frankfurt. In her book she traces Schopenhauer's impact on American intellectual life from Herman Melville to Henry Adams, via James, Royce, Santayana, and George Cabot Lodge. Her study, written in a clear and graceful German that matches the lucidity and elegance of her arguments, begins with an incisive, close reading of Melville's story "Benito Cereno" as a Schopenhauerian allegory pitting Intellect against Will. It ends with an ingenious interpretation of Henry Adams's Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres and The Education of Henry Adams as a diptych: the first work being a contemplation of the world as Will, and the second work a contemplation of the world as Idea (Vorstellung).
No ingenuity in the world, however, can transform James and Royce into fatigued turn-of-the-century pessimists. But Buschendorf shows persuasively how close readings of Schopenhauer's works shaped the thinking of both philosophers. She delineates them as thinkers of greater depth, substance, and interest than Santayana was willing to concede. Buschendorf also examines Santayana's own work for traces of Schopenhauer (of which there are a great many) and adds a wonderful chapter on Santayana's best-selling novel The Last Puritan (1935). The protagonist of this novel about the "sentimental education of a young American of the best type" resembled, in many ways, Santayana himself. Naturally, Santayana compared his novel to Adams's Education: "My hero dies young, being too good for this world. He is an infinitely clearer-headed and nobler person than Henry Adams, but equally ineffectual."

DIM is the primary metabolite of Indole3 Carbinol(I3C), a compound found in cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, radishes and turnips)(6). It has been widely studied for its anti-carcinogenic effects(17), in particular in protecting against or halting the progression of estrogen and androgen-sensitive cancers like breast and prostate cancer. DIM is also used to treat respiratory papillomas(18) and has an anti-proliferative effect onthyroid goiter cells, contrary to the belief that DIM is goitrogenic(15).
DIM demonstrates an anti-androgenic effect in prostate cancer by inhibiting effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT)(9), likely by directly competing for DHT at the androgen receptor(3, 9). Like its parent compound I3C, DIM has diverse effects on estrogen metabolism, favoring the formation of anti-estrogenic metabolites at the expense of estrogenic ones(7, 11). Interestingly, DIM in and of itself is actually an agonist (activator) of the human estrogen receptor (3), which may explain the notion that DIM "balances" estrogen's effects. DIM may be superior as a supplement to I3C for those minimizing estrogenic effects, because, unlike I3C, DIM does not affect metabolism of the anti-breast cancer drug (estrogen receptor antagonist) tamoxifen or increase its toxic metabolites(11). Additionally, at least in rats, DIM does not disrupt the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis (involved in estrogen synthesis) in the manner that I3C does(5).
The effects of DIM are largely attributed to its diverse effects on the cytochromes p450 (CYP)(8,10, 14), a large hepatic enzyme group involved in metabolism of a great many drugs and toxins by the liver(13). Because of this, please consult your healthcare professional about possible interactions DIM may have with any medications you are taking.
Benefits and Risks
DIM may be helpful in minimizing possible cancer risks of hormone replacement (both estrogen and testosterone based) by affecting the actions of these hormones on the breast and prostate, as well as confer anti-tumor effects on the thyroid, lung and colon(2). On the other hand, it should be noted that excessively high doses seem to be associated with toxicity and pro-tumor effects in animal research(12). However, when the equivalent of a human dose of ~600mg / day (for a 220lb bodybuilder; 2-3 times the typically suggested dose), was given to rats for 32 days, neither body weight, blood chemistry nor histology of liver, kidney or bone(4) were affected, suggesting minimal adverse consequences, at least for rodents, at this dose.
In one study of healthy adults(12), increasing the dose of DIM from 200mg to 300mg did not further elevate DIM blood levels. Additionally, side effects below 300mg/day were not found to be dose-dependent. As reviewed by Reed et al.(12), compared to an equivalent dose of I3C, oral supplementation with DIM produces 2-3 times higher DIM, and is well tolerated in the 200-400mg/ day range, when split over two doses.
Supplement Use
The above suggests that a daily dose of 100-200mg, spread over two doses, DIM could be used to protect against potential adverse effects of supplements that may elevate blood hormone levels, such as D-Aspartic Acid, Tribulus Terrestris or MG's Super Test Booster. Patients concerned with possible elevation of cancer risk associated with hormone replacement therapy (estrogen(16) or testosterone(1)) should check with their respective physicians to see if DIM may be a useful adjunctive prophlactic against tumorigenesis. Naturally, the anti-cancer benefits of DIM make it an attractive addition to a supplement regime geared toward health and longevity, especially in the face of familial history of cancer. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER before taking DIM if you are current taking any prescribed or over-the-counter medications, as DIM may affect drug metabolism and necessitate dosage adjustment.

Oculus Rift could be free in future through subsidies, suggests CEO
updated 11:40 am EDT, Tue July 16, 2013
Cost of virtual reality headset could be offset by games, content
The CEO of Oculus hopes to offer its virtual reality headset to customers in the future as close to free as possible. Brendan Iribe suggests that the Kickstarter-backed Oculus Rift could end up being given to users at no charge in the distant future, with the possibility of games on the device eventually subsidizing the cost of the headset itself.
In an interview with Edge, Iribe advised that Oculus has been looking at a number of different ways to pass the device to users cheaply, claiming "The lower the price point, the wider the audience." Though the company is currently targeting a possible $300 price point, it is suggested that the company would "love it to be free one day, so how do we get it as close to free as possible?"
Citing the subsidizing of consoles by their manufacturers by taking a cut of games released on the platform, Iribe believes there is a potential for this to happen to the Oculus Rift. "Let's say there was some game you played in VR that everybody loved and everybody played and we made $100 a month - or even $10 a month - at some point the hardware's cheap enough and we're making enough that we could be giving away the headset."
The Oculus Rift reached its initial $250,000 Kickstarter goal within hours of its launch, later finishing its funding run on $2.4 million. After shipping development kits to backers, the company has worked on a "HD" version of the headset that improves the display further, and has gained another $16 million in funding from various investors to accelerate the development of hardware, software, and services.

As of Monday, February 11, 2013

LEESBURG, Ga. -- A reported dispute between an ex-wife and ex-husband resulted in several shots ringing out in Lee County on Monday afternoon, officials say.
Lewis Harris, chief deputy for the Lee County Sheriff's Office, said that a call came through regarding the incident at 4:26 p.m. from 836-B Middle Road South in Leesburg . The incident stemmed from a domestic dispute between an ex-husband and an ex-wife.
A verbal altercation started over damage to the ex-husband's daughter's vehicle, and ultimately resulted in the man firing shots toward his ex-wife, the chief deputy said.
"He got mad, got a gun and started shooting toward the (ex) wife several times," Harris said.
When officers arrived, the woman came out while the man left and fled into the woods. With the help of the man's family members, he eventually turned himself in, Harris said.
The man was identified as Paul Knight, who was taken to the Lee County Jail. Charges against him were pending Monday evening, Harris said.
There were no injuries resulting from the incident, and the scene was clear by 6 p.m. on Monday, Harris said.
Bulldawg 2 years, 9 months ago
No wonder the ex wife divorced him. I guess he thought he was Rambo or something. What a nut job.
DRTexas 2 years, 9 months ago
Either he is a poor shot or she is real quick.:)
VSU 2 years, 9 months ago
Well I hope he intentially missed her and just wanted to scare her but either way, like Bulldawg said, he sounds like a nut job.
DRTexas 2 years, 9 months ago
Maybe she divorced him in the first place because he was such a bad shot that he couldn't keep meat on the table.
Seriously though. This is one of the people who should no longer be alowed to posess firearms. The Sheriff has the power to put him on the "list".

'Thomas Was Alone" is the most emotional game about rectangles that I can recall playing. I was nearly in tears a few times while playing it, simply because of how invested I was in small shapes of color running around minimalist geometric rooms.
"Thomas Was Alone" begins simply enough, with a red rectangle named Thomas who naturally, begins the game alone. We know this because a soothing British voice (Danny Wallace, who won an award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for the performance) informs us of this fact. This narrator chimes in at the start and middle of levels, telling us what the various geometric shapes you control are thinking and feeling, what sort of conversations they're having, that sort of thing.
Yes, shapes. Thomas is not actually alone for long. He soon meets up with several highly likable geometrical figures. Your job is to get all of them to the various "portals" in the levels that match their shapes. Each shape has its own characteristics, and the gentle level design is built around using them to their full effect.
The magic of the game comes from a combination of the narrative and the running and jumping. With only a short description from the narrator, what would normally be just a series of jumps suddenly becomes a epic journey. Each jump is a small triumph, each room deepens the tale.
You really feel the struggles of the little boxy heroes. You really get to know them and start to like them. The capabilities of the blocks play wonderfully into the atmosphere, and you really feel for the little orange square, Chris, as he is frustrated by his inability to work alone. John isn't just a really long rectangle who can jump high — he's a pleasant but egotistical fellow.
"Thomas Was Alone" is an experience worth having. It's very rare I walk away from a transparently experimental game feeling more in touch with my emotions than before I played it. I literally didn't stop playing the game until I experienced the final conclusion to the strangely moving tale.
"Thomas Was Alone" was made by Mike Bithell. It is available for PC, Mac, and Linux computers. It costs $9.99, and is available from Steam or the website www.thomaswasalone.com.
