The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
Some conservatives are defying expectation and backing the Vermont senator.
When Tarie MacMillan switched on her television in August to watch the first Republican presidential debate, she expected to decide which candidate to support.
But MacMillan, a 65-year-old Florida resident, was disappointed. "I looked at the stage and there was nobody out there who I really liked. It just seemed like a showcase for Trump and his ridiculous comments," she recalled. "It was laughable, and scary, and a real turning point."
So she decided to back Bernie Sanders, the self-described "Democratic socialist" challenging Hillary Clinton. MacMillan was a lifelong Republican voter until a few weeks ago when she switched her party affiliation to support the Vermont senator in the primary. It will be the first time she's ever voted for a Democrat.
The Speaker's reformist ambitions fall victim to his need to manage the media cycle.
Before taking the speakership last month, Paul Ryan made a promise to fix a "broken" House of Representatives and return the chamber to "regular order." Eschewing the centralized authority of his predecessor, John Boehner, Ryan promised to put legislative power back in the hands of rank-and-file members—something key House constituencies had been clamoring for.
Under regular order, House bills go through an often-lengthy process from subcommittee to the floor; they are vetted, debated, and amended before receiving a final up-or-down vote. A return to regular order is one of the few areas with serious support from both ultraconservative Freedom Caucus members and progressive reformers in the House. After all, legislators on both sides of the aisle want a chance to be heard, offer amendments, and share expertise. Ryan concurred: "The committees should retake the lead in drafting all major legislation. When we rush to pass bills, a lot of us do not understand, we are not doing our job."
Not all beliefs are equal.
If you want to annoy a scientist, say that science isn't so different from religion. When Ben Carson was challenged about his claim that Darwin was encouraged by the devil, he replied, "I'm not going to denigrate you because of your faith, and you shouldn't denigrate me for mine." When the literary theorist Stanley Fish chastised atheists such as Richard Dawkins, he wrote, "Science requires faith too before it can have reasons," and described those who don't accept evolution as belonging to "a different faith community."
Scientists are annoyed by these statements because they suggest that science and religion share a certain epistemological status. And, indeed, many humanists and theologians insist that there are multiple ways of knowing, and that religious narratives exist alongside scientific ones, and can even supersede them.
Nobody's focused on winning the peace. That's a big problem.
In August 1941, Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt met off the coast of Newfoundland to outline a shared vision for the post-World War II era. The British prime minister was so thrilled to see the American president that, in the words of one official, "You'd have thought he was being carried up into the heavens to meet God." The two countries issued the Atlantic Charter, which sought "a better future for the world" through the principles of self-determination, collective security, and free trade. The United States hadn't even entered the war yet, but it was already focused on winning the peace. The endgame was not just the defeat of the Axis powers, but also the creation of a stable global order, in which World War II would be the last world war.
Why are so many kids with bright prospects killing themselves in Palo Alto?
The air shrieks, and life stops. First, from far away, comes a high whine like angry insects swarming, and then a trampling, like a herd moving through. The kids on their bikes who pass by the Caltrain crossing are eager to get home from school, but they know the drill. Brake. Wait for the train to pass. Five cars, double-decker, tearing past at 50 miles an hour. Too fast to see the faces of the Silicon Valley commuters on board, only a long silver thing with black teeth. A Caltrain coming into a station slows, invites you in. But a Caltrain at a crossing registers more like an ambulance, warning you fiercely out of its way.
The kids wait until the passing train forces a gust you can feel on your skin. The alarms ring and the red lights flash for a few seconds more, just in case. Then the gate lifts up, signaling that it's safe to cross. All at once life revives: a rush of bikes, skateboards, helmets, backpacks, basketball shorts, boisterous conversation. "Ew, how old is that gum?" "The quiz is next week, dipshit." On the road, a minivan makes a left a little too fast—nothing ominous, just a mom late for pickup. The air is again still, like it usually is in spring in Palo Alto. A woodpecker does its work nearby. A bee goes in search of jasmine, stinging no one.
In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don't like. Here's why that's disastrous for education—and mental health.
Something strange is happening at America's colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. Last December, Jeannie Suk wrote in an online article for The New Yorker about law students asking her fellow professors at Harvard not to teach rape law—or, in one case, even use the word violate (as in "that violates the law") lest it cause students distress. In February, Laura Kipnis, a professor at Northwestern University, wrote an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education describing a new campus politics of sexual paranoia—and was then subjected to a long investigation after students who were offended by the article and by a tweet she'd sent filed Title IX complaints against her. In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. "I'm a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me," the headline said. A number of popular comedians, including Chris Rock, have stopped performing on college campuses (see Caitlin Flanagan's article in this month's issue). Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher have publicly condemned the oversensitivity of college students, saying too many of them can't take a joke.
The ambitious effort that could transform the institution and inform how other campuses respond to student protests.
Every university responds to student protests in its own way.
Earlier this month, scores of Brown undergraduates formed a circle on a quad and listened as black classmates expressed pain, anger, and frustration with campus life, following the example set by their analogues at the University of Missouri and elsewhere. Kate Talerico of The Brown Daily Herald recorded several powerful speakers and a diverse crowd that listened attentively and occasionally snapped to signal their agreement.*
Here are some of their words:
Candice Ellis, the first student to appear in the video, declared, "We begged this university to hear our stories about how racism, sexism, and a whole host of other problems prevail … and prevent us from being safe, from being at peace, from being whole and from being well. They invite us to meetings in the president's office and the faculty club. They say they listen. They say they hear us. They do nothing."
Researchers studying the "quiet eye" technique argue that the visual trick is a key part of coordination.
Consider two very different basketball players. The Los Angeles Clippers star DeAndre Jordan, one of the strongest, quickest players in the NBA, nevertheless made only 39 percent of his free throws last year. Then there's his teammate, Jamal Crawford—not as fast or as strong as Jordan, but he makes 90 percent of the shots he takes from the foul line, a rate that's among the best in the league.
What makes one player a stellar shooter, while another has more trouble making a basket? As Jordan demonstrates, it's not just a question of sheer athleticism. The difference between athletes like him and athletes like Crawford may well come down to a concept known as "quiet eye": a new way of understanding how people perform precise motor-skill tasks like shooting a basketball, flying a jet, or removing a brain tumor.
Why trying to think like the Islamic State is so hard—and risky.
In killing 130 civilians in Paris—the worst such attack in France since World War II—ISIS has forced us to contend, once again, with the question of the "rationality" of self-professed ideologues. Since it wrested the world's attention with its capture of Iraq's second-largest city in June 2014, the extremist group has prioritized state-building over fighting far enemies abroad. This is what distinguished ISIS: It wasn't just, or even primarily, a terrorist organization. It had an unusually pronounced interest in governance. As Yale University's Andrew March and Mara Revkin lay out in considerable detail, the group focused its energy on developing fairly elaborate institutional structures in the territory it controlled within Iraq and Syria. ISIS wasn't simply making things up as it went along. It may have been mad, but there was a method to the madness.

Wolff & Samson, the high-powered New Jersey law firm whose founder has close ties to Gov. Chris Christie, has been dumped by a real estate developer whose proposal to build a massive office complex in Hoboken is key to allegations of political blackmail by the Christie administration, according to a published report.
The New York Times is reporting that the Rockefeller Group has parted ways with Wolff & Samson, after seven years. David Samson, appointed by Christie as chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, is a founding partner of the firm.
The developers plans for a waterfront area in Hoboken came under scrutiny recently when Mayor Dawn Zimmer accused the administration of holding Sandy aid hostage in order to gain approvals for the development. Zimmer said that Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno told her the development was important to Christie and that money for flood control would flow if Zimmer helped the complex get approvals.
Guadagno and the administration have denied Zimmers claims, saying her accusations are illogical.
Given the investigation, weve decided to shift our work onthe project to another firm, Rockefeller Group spokesman Dwayne Doherty told the Times.
Lori Grifa, a former Christie cabinet official now working for Wolff & Samson, has been lobbying state officials on behalf of the Rockefeller Group.

Michael Jackson didn't get the nameKing of Pop for no reason. From singing lead in the Jackson 5 to becoming one of the world's cultural icons, MJ sacrificed his life to give us some of the best music the world has ever known.
Here are our top picks for Mike's most popular songs:
10. Man in the Mirror: One could argue that while Michael loved music and was a musical genius, the also cared equally – maybe more – about people. Man in the Mirror was one of those songs that showcased his desire to change the world. He encouraged everyone to take a look at themselves and make change starting with self.
9. Never Can Say Goodbye: Not quite sure what a 12-year-old Michael knew about love, but he surely sang about it with just clarity. Released in 1971, Never Can Say Goodbye,is a classic.
8. We Are The World: Again, Jackson shows us his love for humanity when he leads the effort for We Are The World. He showcases his ability to write a song that can combine some very different and distinct voices. He and Lionel Ritchie did a great job … and inspired a group to do the same 25 years later in support of Haiti.
7. Wanna Be Startin Something: The refrain on this song refrain "Mama-se, mama-sa, mama-coo-sa," which we are told was borrowed from a Cameroonian saxophonist, has to be one of the most recognizable around the world.
6. Human Nature: The fifth track from the Thriller album, Human Nature was not a big commercial success … although it is a popular sample song. The song has been sampled by everyone from Stevie Wonder to Chris Brown.
5. Billie Jean: Another slick cut from MJ's Thriller project. This song was based on a true story. A young lady was preggers with twins and named Michael Jackson as the father. He wasn't having it! He made a song to tell her about it too (LMBO)!

What is more attractive than traveling around the world? I think there isn't an answer to that stupid question and there is nothing better than traveling in the world and even sex comes in second to it and the way traveling took over was because of the borders and I am not one of those hippies who demand the borders should be taken down. I think borders are a way to say that you are inferior to that country and that country searches for reason to keep you out of their country because they don't want you there in their country and that is always a case when in immigration in some developed countries and the one trying to get in is someone from a backlash country in terms of wealth. But a wealthy country is always ethically morale country.
Saudi Arabia could be the most fascist country that is living on the face of the earth and the kings needed some spanking done to their behind because they have gone too far with everything in their country and they need to be taught a lesson because there is not a law of human civil code that isn't broken by that kingpin of the oppression. The late king's second wife who was divorced and oppressed and abused by the king who flee to England leaving her four daughters behind is really trying hard to see to the problem but up to no good still now and the daughters are living in the harshest of conditions imaginable in the worst parts of the palace under constant surveillance. 1st page seo outsourcing company really has good grasp about this business and can help you use it to your advantage.
They are the worst but when I traveled I saw there were far less jurisdictions for males. They had only one maybe and that is to go for prayer when the mosque calls and nothing else. They have no problem living their because that is a male chauvinistic state like any other and I say any other because all the countries are male chauvinistic and they care about the looks and that is why they don't show them off pretty much. That study of the mindset of the people is really necessary for search engine optimization and its dynamics and I go from place to lace in search of the core set of beliefs to get them embedded in the huge web of the internet and the internet gets back at me for the services rendered by making me travel around the world and that is my job and I have the best job in the world and the hotel and food is paid by them too and a film crew.

Hey Guys,
I feel so horrible doing this, I always told myself I would never, but I'm leaving Booksie and taking down Amulet Bearers.
I know, I know, I'm a terrible person and I deserve all your annoyance and frustration. However, you may or may not have noticed, lately there hasn't been much in the way of any updates on Amulet Bearers. That's simply because I've lost my steam. I have NOT given up on the trilogy, I will continue this to the end, if that ends next year or next decade I don't care, it'll always be something I do.
This is because of a, possibly childish and likely will never come true, dream of one day publishing the trilogy. Now if I do want to make this a reality it means I have to put my best into every sentence I write. The way of Booksie doesn't really support this. I feel rushed to get each chapter out, even if I'm not one hundred precent happy with it. This is simply because I feel horrible keeping my (two - friends don't count, they're obligated to me feedback) readers waiting.
So I feel it will be best if I take the story down, so that the pressure of getting out each chapter is taking from me and I can really put my best into every chapter. It's just not realistic that I can keep up the passion and enthusiasm for a single story and group of characters going constantly for multiple years (I'm only fifteen). My muse is going to come and go and I don't want to string my readers along when we all know my breaks between chapters can last months.
I just want to thank everyone who's left a comment on all of my stories over the past two years. I have grown so much as a writer on this site and that's because of all of the wonderful feedback and encouragement I have found on here. I have learnt so much from so many talented writers, which I will keep with me forever.
I will continue to read the stories I am currently reading, though I'm not taking on anything new. I might not comment on every one of your chapters like I've done in the past: life and school are getting busier, but I'll make sure to touch in every few chapters.
Once again, thank-you to everyone and I am very sorry.
P.S To Brian and Bobgirl, if you so wish you can give me your email address and I'll continue to send you each chapter as they come out (be warned there is likely to be months between them). You've stuck with this story and you deserve to see it continue. However I know not everyone's comfortable putting their email out onto the internet, so if you do, I will delete your comment after I've seen it so it doesn't stay up. Thank you to you both; I truly feel horrible doing this to you.

5 Photographers In Venice (#214)
ITALY: Snapping up Venice - Venice most probably has more tourists per square meter than any other city in the world. It's such a historic and romantic place to visit and, of course quite unique. Recently a German publisher commissioned five top photographers to present their take on this lagoon city on the north east coast of Italy. We followed the German photographer Robert Voit around, who prefers to steer well clear of the crowds.
AUSTRIA: A modern designer - At the beginning of the 20th century the "Wiener Werkstatte" the Vienna Workshops, transformed the world of interior design in Austria. It was an idealistic movement which sought to create beautifully designed and crafted objects for every day living. This idea - revolutionary at the time - is being revived in a modern form in the showrooms of Karl Hans Polzhofer.
GERMANY: Who Dunit in Munich? - This year the theme of the Munich crime fiction festival is football. With the world cup soon to arrive on their doorstep, a number of German crime writers have ben inspired to write about the game And with this in mind the festival also staged a fictional whodunnit in Munich's Olympic stadium. Hold on to your seats!
DENMARK: Fashion Platform on the Platform - Moving now to the new metro system in Copenhagen for an unusual train ride. In recent years Denmark has been making a name for itself on the international fashion scene with its unconventional yet wearable styles. To stress how different Danish fashion is, the latest catwalk shows there were held on the trains themselves, the platforms and even on the moving escalators under the city centre.
FRANCE: Gone to the Wolves - French born pianist Helene Grimaud is very passionate about everything she does. When she sets her mind on something - whatever it may be - it becomes an obsession. This is obviously very useful if you want to become a top pianist as there's all that gruelling practice every day. But she also combines her music with a most unusual hobby : wolves. Right now she's concentrating hard on her music as she's just started her latest world tour.
POLAND: A Thriving Arts Scene in the Studios - Finally today we're going to the Praga district of Warsaw. It's a former industrial area which used to be nicknamed the Bronx of the Polish capital because it was a rather unsafe and rundown area. Some years ago artists started moving in, finding the deserted large old factory spaces perfect as studios. Now it's the centre of Poland's thriving avantgarde scene. [26 minutes]

Reba McEntire and Lily Tomlin star in the new sit-com 'Malibu Country.'
Reba McEntire's got sand in her boots.
The grit is handy for a country song, but may fare even better as a TV show. Four decades into a legendary career, McEntire is reinventing herself again, this time as a sitcom star on a major network.
"I'm very curious to see what different things I can get into," says McEntire, casual in jeans and a cotton long-sleeved top.

A Genomic Blueprint for Cancer
The largest cancer genome sequencing project yet highlights molecular pathways at the heart of an aggressive blood cancer.
By comparing the genome sequence of healthy and cancerous cells in 38 people diagnosed with multiple myeloma—an aggressive blood cancer—scientists have created a molecular map of what goes awry in this disease.
The findings, published today in Nature, point to new targets for drug development, and also suggest that some patients will respond to drugs currently being tested for other types of cancers.
The study is also the first published analysis of multiple whole genomes of the same cancer, reflecting continuing advances in sequencing technologies and the ability to analyze whole-genome data.
Thanks to a steady decline in the cost of genome sequencing, scientists have analyzed a growing number of tumors in recent years. Searching for differences between the DNA sequence of patients' healthy and cancerous cells can highlight genetic mutations that may underlie the cancer cells' ability to grow and survive. But most studies have analyzed a single cancer sample in great detail, and then sequenced relevant genes in other cancers to confirm the role of candidate mutations.
"Simply sequencing a tumor genome doesn't get you the information you need," says Todd Golub, director of the cancer program at the Broad Institute and senior author of the study. "We need the ability to look across many cancer genomes and to discover mutations that are recurring at low frequencies, so that we can see patterns emerging from the data that are biologically meaningful."
Scientists already suspected that a protein called NF-Kappa Beta, which regulates cell division and cell death, plays a role in myeloma. In the new study, researchers found mutations in 11 genes that are part of the NF-Kappa Beta pathway that were altered in at least one multiple myeloma sample. "Now we have a detailed blueprint for how those pathways were aberrantly activated in disease," says Golub. "You can only see those kinds of pattern when you look at multiple genomes."
Researchers also found that about 4 percent of patients have mutations in a gene known as BRAF. This finding could be used to help select effective drugs. BRAF mutations have previously been shown to play a major role in melanoma and other cancers, and several BRAF inhibitors are now being tested in melanoma patients, some with excellent results. "It was completely unexpected that myeloma patients might benefit from similar targeted therapies," says Kenneth Anderson, chief of the division of hematologic neoplasias at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. "Perhaps we can take a drug off the shelf and help patients in the short term." No trials of these drugs in this subset of myeloma patients have yet been launched, but Golub says discussions are underway.

burton... "meh" or not "meh" that the question

Thank goodness someone finally asked the tough question.
Ok, people are ALWAYS talking about this whole Burton-hating thing. People who hate Burton are just people who hate the mainstream. Burton is the Wal-Mart of the snowboarding world. Almost everyone has had something from them. They are the biggest and most common company so some people refuse to buy them. Being a snowboarder is partially about being against the mainstream. Otherwise, we'd all be skiers.
I personally don't buy Burton because I'm not interested in their style. It's a little boring to me. I buy Rome. But I certainly don't hate on people who buy them. Still, there are fanbois out there who won't even look at other brands and they are just as bad as the haters.
The bottom line is that snowboarding wouldn't be what it is without Burton. There is no reason to hate on them just because they are corporate in my opinion. But I understand why people don't like them.

|Review: role of carbon sources for in vitro plant growth and development.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23212616 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|In vitro plant cells, tissues and organ cultures are not fully autotrophic establishing a need for carbohydrates in culture media to maintain the osmotic potential, as well as to serve as energy and carbon sources for developmental processes including shoot proliferation, root induction as well as emission, embryogenesis and organogenesis, which are highly energy demanding developmental processes in plant biology. A variety of carbon sources (both reducing and non-reducing) are used in culture media depending upon genotypes and specific stages of growth. However, sucrose is most widely used as a major transport-sugar in the phloem sap of many plants. In micropropagation systems, morphogenetic potential of plant tissues can greatly be manipulated by varying type and concentration of carbon sources. The present article reviews the past and current findings on carbon sources and their sustainable utilization for in vitro plant tissue culture to achieve better growth rate and development.

Zayd Allebban is a former technology manager for Wayne County.
A former technology manager for Wayne County described himself today as a reluctant middleman between two friends who didnt want to meet.
Zayd Allebban is on trial in federal court on charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice. He told jurors this morning that he was uncomfortable shuttling messages and money between his boss, Tahir Kazmi, and contractor Philip Shisha last year, but that he did it because he considered both men friends.
Shisha gave more than $80,000 in cash to Kazmi. Allebban said both men described the payments as loans that Kazmi repaid, though Shisha and Kazmi disagreed over whether all the money was returned.
I had no reason to doubt Tahir, Allebban said of Kazmi.
Allebban said that if Shishas company, Strategic Business Partners, had gotten its contracts illegally or wasnt performing work, he would have suspected that the money constituted bribery.
None of those factors were there, he said.
Allebban said that at one point, Shisha threatened suicide. He said he didnt know the men were doing anything illegal because he trusted them.
I felt like I was stuck in the middle, Allebban said. If they knew they were doing something wrong and they pulled me into that thats disgusting.
Allebban acknowledged creating receipts in an effort to document the repayments, which he said he believed had happened, despite objections from Shisha. He acknowledged visiting a Fed-Ex Kinko's store to use a computer there to create receipts showing repayment.
When Shisha couldnt pin down payment dates, I suggested to Mr. Shisha a couple of times to create receipts without dates," Allebban said. We were not trying to hide the facts of the matter. We were trying to create receipts.
He also acknowledged delivering $14,000 in cash to Shisha in a Commerce Township grocery store parking lot and throwing out five receipts he created after the three agreed to replace them with a single letter that said Shisha had been repaid.
When Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheldon Light asked him why he discarded the receipts, he said they were incomplete and that he wouldnt consider them receipts until they are signed by both parties.
Light insisted the documents were an effort to provide a cover story for the payments that would thwart a federal probe of corruption in county government.
Wearing a grey suit and a blue tie, Allebban sat forward in the witness chair and spoke clearly into the microphone. Tilting his head slightly to the left at times and sipping water occasionally, he delivered measured answers to more than an hour of questions from Light.
Several jurors took notes as he spoke.
Testimony concluded with several character witnesses, including Allebban's friends and a next-door neighbor who testified that he was a law-abiding citizen.
Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday morning.

It is not quite true that there was "no interest". The news release reads in part:
"While a number of existing and potential shareholders have expressed strong support, the Company has been unable to raise sufficient funds on terms which the Board considers to be acceptable.
Sterling will therefore pursue alternative means of ensuring that the Company is appropriately funded."
I agree the situation is unfortunate, but the game is far from over. Success at Eugenia will go a long way in settling those issues. Failure at Eugenia would be problematic...

Best Quality Audio/Durable In-Ear Headphone Ever
Jan 10, 2013
By Masidion
The Aurvana Air is an In-Ear headphone that excells where every other headphone fails. When i was searching for headphones, I had very specific criteria defined. Firstly, I wanted a headphone with SUPERIOR audio quality. Next, it had to be an in-ear headphone that i could use for both gaming and exercise. Baring that in mind, I'm a bit OCD with the feeling that my headphones could fall off mid workout, so I opted out of a traditional earbud design and preferred an over-the-ear one instead. Lastly, I wanted something that reduced outside noise, but only by about 30%-50%. I wanted to feel distanced from others while listening, but be able to hear others and anyone calling out to me.
I have broken out the Pros and Cons below to hit my specific care-abouts. Also, I purchased another high quality in-ear product from Sony (Sony In-Ear Sport Headphones XBAS65B) designed not to fall off the ear and I returned them immediately in comparison.
Audio Quality: Simply put, you cannot find another in-ear headphone that delivers the same level of Audio quality. The highs are crystal clear and the mids compete where other's fail. Traditional In-ear headphones often have difficulty providing bass or even a sense of bass line due to the size, design and structure of the product. For an in-ear headphone, the Aurvana Airs provide a solid supporting bass that flows with the mids nicely, but couldn't possibly take over. Simply put, they make you feel as if the sound is the environment around you. In games, I constantly keep my friend and I up to date on enemy movement in BF3 because the clarity REALLY IS THAT GOOD. It has saved us more times than i can recount by letting him know what I'm hearing. Also, You are not drowned by bass and unrealistically modified sound. The only caveat (if you can even call it one) is that without the mesh screens, the highs can be a slight bit sharp, but i wouldn't wear it without them anyway. 9/10
Design Quality: Next to the audio, this is where the Airs really excel. It needed to stay on my ear and be durable. I have owned these headphones for over a year, wearing them easily for 2-3 HOURS A DAY, between exercise and gaming. NEVER ONCE have I felt that they were going to break and they have NEVER fallen off my ear, even when accidentally pulling the cord with my hand. Because the earbud swivels, it allows you to find a "sweet spot" of comfort and stability on the ear. Again, my OCD tendencies have always left me concerned about earbuds popping out, but after a few weeks, this dissipated and I never thought of it again while wearing them. Only caveat to some might be the length of the cord could seem a little short. I like them short for exercise so this didn't bother me at all. 10/10
Comfort: I've had over-the-ear buds similar to this in the past that were painful after 20 minutes. The headphones were slightly uncomfortable for the first month or so after about an hour of use, but that's simply because I hadn't used headphones like these in years, so i had to "build ear endurance" so to say. As of writing this, I can leave these on for 2-3 hours and not even notice they're on at times. The fact that they are so light and that the majority of the weight is supported by the inner ear portion and not the actualy ear lobe, make them extremely comfortable. My only caveat would be that putting them on and off feels like a hassle at times, however, when you think of the amount of time you would have to spend readjusting and putting earbuds back in your ear, this is completely negotiable. You get good at taking them on and off quickly after a while. 9/10
Price: So, we've reached the real reason most people may not purchase these headphones. These originally retailed for $199.99. This would certainly have been a deal breaker for me, even knowing how great they are, I Just couldn't justify paying a major-brand headset price for high-grade earbuds. I will say, I bought these on sale at about 70% off ($60)which was more than reasonable. If you can get them for $100 or less (totally possible on Amazon or ebay), I would recommend the purchase. 7/10
Overall: They are simply the best earphones I've ever worn, and this is coming from a man that never wore earphones longer than 30 mins tops due to irritation or poor design. If you need new headphones and can get them for $100 or less, looking elsewhere is a waste of time. 9/10
Extra Credit:
Classiness: They come in a freaking display case and a leather satchel/pouch for travel. No brainer people. 10/10

Best headphones for gym yet!
Oct 31, 2009
By Randall Jones
Currently I think these are the best headphones on the market for active persons who want good sound quality. I would rate the sound quality a 7.5/8 and fit a solid 9.
I am not an expert, but over the past two years I have tried Bang & Olufsen, Shure, Klipsch, Sony, & Nike for a work out headphone solution. All failed except for the Bang & Olufsen A8's which have incredible sound, but the fit slowly started to fail after 3 months to where they keep falling off due to lose hinges. In ear headphones fall out as soon as you sweat and in ear/over ear combos never fit right or sound quality was 4 or less.
The Aurvana sound almost as good as the B&O's (bass response not as good), but the fit is even better. Plus I don't think they will loosen over time because they do not have a hinge like the B&G's. They stay on no matter what and sound great.
A quick comment on the previous review. How does customer support have any relevance to these headphones? You plug them in and listen.

Fantastic on so Many levels but especially for outdoor use because...
Dec 09, 2011
By Squantumite "TW"
when one is out walking or jogging, you need to be able to hear voices, horns and engines to keep safe.
Often Bicyclists in my area will say "passing on your right" as they come up from behind. Or you are crossing a street but due to the engine noise you look around to see a bus just inches from you which you would have walked into or would have grazed you but since you could hear, you missed a big accident.
Yessirree...when one is outdoors, it's too dangerous to have earplugs blocking the noise. These clip on Aurvana's address any of those issues in spades.
Not only are they like speakers hanging in front of your ears, they allow you to carry on a conversation at the same time as you listen to sweet sweet tuneage.
What really surprised me was the quality of the music ...I own UE 10's and Klipsch x10, Ety's, so many of the great cans and iem mentioned on head fi so I was surprised how wonderful these things sound...Like nobody ever mentions them and they sound open fresh and very involving. Not heavy on bass but nice open mids and highs. They shocked me ...the opposite of fatiguing.

mixed review.

By SK
The sound quality is excellent, don't get me wrong. I love the speakers and the sound of the headphones. The problem I have is the ear holders; they do not fit properly on my ears, and they tend to fall off. Not happy about that at all. Think they need a redesign.

Aurvana Air
Jan 17, 2011
By Zach
Best pair of headphones I ever owned. I use them while running outdoors with my Zen X-fi and the sound quality is great. They also will not fall off or hurt you ears due to their design. I can barely even notice I am wearing them it just sounds like the music is coming from the area around me. I highly recommend these to anyone that needs an athletic pair of headphones with good quality and great durability. As long as you can afford these, I wouldn't look anywhere else.

A World of Hurt: Between Innocence and Arrogance in Vietnam
Item Description
In 1970, twenty-three year-old Army nurse, Mary Reynolds boarded a plane bound for Vietnam. Uncertain and alone, Mary had no idea what lay ahead.
Almost thirty years later, Mary tells of that year in her life: a year of discomfort, fear and anger, as well as courage, hope and love. She includes the stories of seven of her friends, among them a dustoff helicopter pilot, an infantry captain, a Vietnamese aide, a drug counselor, and an emergency room nurse, who were with her in Vietnam.
A World of Hurt: Between Innocence and Arrogance in Vietnam describes a war "winding down," while thousands still died. The survivors discovered that their perspectives about war, their country and themselves were forever changed.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ Kansas coach Bill Self believes that unbeaten Wichita State deserves a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament if it beats Missouri State on Saturday and then wins the Missouri Valley tournament.
That doesn't mean he's changed his stance on scheduling the Shockers.
The subject was broached again Thursday. Self said he'll continue to schedule games solely in the best interest of Kansas, which means home games to pad the coffers and road games in places advantageous to recruiting.
That means marquee names such as Duke and Georgetown in places such as Chicago and New York.
Those clamoring for a Kansas-Wichita State game may be in luck. Many projections have the Shockers and Jayhawks as the top two seeds in the same region for the NCAA tournament.

Conditions aren't pretty at Stevens Pass
Heavy snowfall in the Cascades is making things miserable for drivers at Stevens Pass. According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, there is compact snow and ice on the road, and travelers can expect gusty winds and patches of poor visibility. Chains are required on all vehicles without all-wheel drive. Meteorologist Ted Buehner in Seattle told the Associated Press that accumulations from the storm that started Sunday are likely to total 2 to 3 feet in the Washington Cascades by Tuesday morning. You can keep an eye on conditions at Stevens Pass here.
Herald photographer Mark Mulligan recorded this video of conditions at the pass earlier today:

|HER2 stabilizes survivin while concomitantly down-regulating survivin gene transcription by suppressing Notch cleavage.
MedLine Citation:

|In breast cancer, the HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase is associated with extremely poor prognosis and survival. Notch signaling has a key role in cell-fate decision especially in cancer-initiating cells. The Notch intracellular domain produced by Notch cleavage is translocated to the nucleus where it activates transcription of target genes. To determine the combinatory effect of HER2 and Notch signaling in breast cancer, we investigated the effect of HER2 on Notch-induced cellular phenomena. We found the down-regulation of Notch-dependent transcriptional activity by HER2 overexpression. Also, the HER2/ERK signal pathway down-regulated the activity of g-secretase. When we examined the protein level of Notch target genes in HER2-overexpressing cells, we observed that the level of survivin, downstream of Notch, increased in HER2 cells. We found that activation of ERK resulted in a decrease of XAF1 which reduced the formation of XIAP-XAF1 E3 ligase complex to ubiquitinate survivin. In addition, T34 of survivin was shown to be the most important residue in determining survivin stability upon phosphorylation after HER2/Akt/CDK1-cyclin B1 signaling. Our results show the combinatorial effects of HER2 and Notch during breast oncogenesis.

Great series!!! These guys take "personal demons" to a whole new level. Powerful guardians to the gods release demons from their prison (Pandora's Box), to prove a point. Unfortunately, they weren't able to capture and put them back. As punishment for their actions, they were banished to Earth, each one forced to "host" a demon. Each book focuses on a Guardian's internal struggle of good and evil mingled into one body, while continuing to protect and serve. But all is not lost. Within their dark existence exists a potential for love, a woman that can ease their torment, and help their mission. The romance abounds in these novels, and had me weak at the knees!
As per the author's website:
Long ago, twelve immortals warriors – each more dangerously seductive than the last — stole and opened Pandora's box, unleashing the evil from within. Now they carry that evil within themselves. Violence, Pain, Death, Disease, Disaster, Misery, Doubt, Promiscuity, Defeat, Lies, Secrets, and Wrath. When a powerful enemy returns, they will travel the world in search of a sacred relic of the gods – one that threatens to destroy them all.

Clairton boys' basketball starts over after top 6 players depart
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Clairton boys basketball team is starting over.
A year after finishing as WPIAL Class A runner-up to Vincentian Academy and advancing to the second round of the PIAA playoffs, the Bears will sport an entirely new look following the departure of their entire starting lineup.
"They were all seniors. Our sixth man was a senior, too," Clairton coach Matt Geletko said.
Gone from the 18-7 team that was beaten by District 9 champion Smethport in PIAA playoffs are Pitt football players guards Tyler Boyd and Terrish Webb and forward Titus Howard, as well as point guard Bryon Clifford — the Trib Total Media Daily News Player of the Year — guard Armani Ford, and sixth-man forward Santeaun Sims.
"We're heading into the season with a lack of experience," said Geletko, who is entering his second year as coach at Clairton. "We had a certain swagger about us with all the football success we had had."
Boyd, Webb and Howard, among others, were part of a Clairton football program that continued on to win a Pennsylvania-record 66 consecutive games before being beaten by Monessen this season.
Nearly all of the players on the current Clairton basketball roster played football this year, when Clairton posted a 10-2 record, losing to Sto-Rox in the WPIAL semifinals.
Geletko, who was named the Daily News coach of the year in his rookie season with the Clairton basketball program, has kept the bar set high for his 2013 club.
"My goal always has been to win the section, and if you can't do that, at least compete for a playoff spot," he said. "If we get there, get through two rounds and qualify for the state playoffs and go from there.
"Realistically, with an inexperienced team like this, we'll focus mainly on at least competing for a playoff spot."
At least three returning players are expected to be in the Bears starting lineup for the opener at home on Dec. 20 against Class AAA East Allegheny.
Geletko mentioned 6-foot-2 senior guards JoJuan Bray and Rasheed Pacley and 6-5 sophomore forward Aaron Mathews as likely starters. Despite his youthful status, Mathews shared the quarterbacking position this year for the Clairton football team.
"As far as Aaron goes, he could pretty much play four spots on the floor," Geletko said. "He's kind of a matchup problem. He jumps well, he's long, but he's only a sophomore. He likes basketball, though. You can tell that, and it helps a lot."
Senior Jaquan Ford could take over at point guard, replacing Clifford, Geletko said.
"There's competition right now," he said. "I'm sure we're going to have a number of guys hungry to see the floor. That's a healthy situation. We're going to need all of them when we start the season. We've got a tough nonconference schedule, and that's going to get us ready for the section."
Clairton is scheduled to be part of the field for the Gateway Holiday Tournament from Dec. 26-28 and will open the event against Class AA Jeannette.
Among its other nonconference opponents are Class AAAA schools Norwin and Allderdice; Class AAA Thomas Jefferson, whom the Bears will face in a Sunday afternoon game on Jan. 19 at California (Pa.) University; Class AA Greensburg Central Catholic, which also lost in the second round of the PIAA playoffs and Class AA Burrell, which fell to Beaver Falls in the WPIAL title game but also qualified for the PIAA playoffs.

December 1, 2015
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Scientists have uncovered a vast ocean beneath the icy surface of a Saturn moon.
Italian and American researchers made the discovery using Cassini. The NASA-European spacecraft is still exploring Saturn and its rings some 17 years after its launch.
This new ocean is centered at the south pole of the moon Enceladus (ehn-SEHL'-uh-duhs) and is believed to be as big as -- or bigger than -- North America's Lake Superior.
Enceladus is 310 miles across.
Cassini previously detected a plume streaming from cracks in the south polar region. Scientists suspected it might be from a subsurface sea. On Thursday, they confirmed its presence. Their findings appear in the journal Science.
Researchers say it's possible the ocean could harbor life. But another mission will be needed for that search.

Should I Learn to Play the Blues Guitar?
If a guitar or non-guitarist asked me this question I would say yes immediately! Learning the guitar is one of the most pleasurable things that you can do, and whether you are new or an experienced guitarist you should always look to learn a bit of blues guitar. This is because the blues is the root of all modern music that we have today. If it weren't for the blues, we wouldn't have had Elvis and then the Beatles and everything since then.
There are lots of different ways to get blues guitar lessons. You can find a local tutor, or you can look online for courses and free lessons. I think that it is always worth getting a proper course as this gives you a structured approach to learning and allows you to make steady improvements in your playing. You will find that there are a lot of both electric and acoustic blues guitar lesson sources if you look hard enough.
When you start to learn this, or any other style of guitar then you certainly want to make sure that you put in enough time to practice. If you don't then you might loose heart and not make the improvements that you want to. If you are an absolute beginner then you will find it difficult at first, but you need to get over the initial difficulties of learning and very soon it will all fall in to place. Then you will only improve more and more, especially if you have a structured course of lessons to help you to improve.
Learning to play the blues guitar is a great way to expand you musically knowledge. For thrash metal guitarists it offers a way to add melody to their existing writing, and for classical guitarists, it gives them a chance to play some loud music once in a while.

Last year's drought has some farmers struggling to start a crop this year.
Some disaster relief money has been distributed to those in need, but it isn't enough to make up for three years of bad crops.
For the past three years farmers have been dealing with inadequate crop yields and now it looks like they aren't going to get the amount of help they need from the government.
It costs a lot of money to start a crop.
From seeds to fertilizer and with fuel costs on the rise...it doesn't look like the amount of money to get started this year is going to go down anytime soon.
The government was going to pay farmers who suffered drought money for 2005, 2006 and 2007 crop yields.
But now the government is telling farmers to choose their worst year of the three and receive disaster relief only for that year.

The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), is an autonomous organisation of the Government of India, involved in India's external cultural relations, through cultural exchange with other countries and their peoples. It was founded on 9 April 1950 by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the first Education Minister of independent India.
The ICCR Headquarters are situated in Azad Bhavan, I.P. Estate, New Delhi, with regional offices in Bangalore, Chandigarh, Chennai, Cuttack, Goa, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna, Pune, Shillong, Thiruvananthapuram & Varanasi. The council also operates missions internationally, with established cultural centres in Georgetown, Paramaribo,[1] Port Louis, Jakarta, Moscow, Berlin, Cairo, London, Tashkent, Almaty, Johannesburg, Durban, Port of Spain and Colombo. ICCR has opened new cultural centers in Dhaka, Thimpu, Sao Paulo, Kathmandu, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo.[2][3]
Mission statement[edit]
The Indian Council for Cultural Relations mission statement reads:
- ICCR was envisaged by its founder..., as an organization that would foster and strengthen cultural relations and mutual understanding between India and other nations & peoples.
- Our endeavour has been to promote a communion of cultures and a creative dialogue among nations.
- To facilitate this interaction among world cultures, the Council has striven to articulate and demonstrate the diversity and richness of the cultures of India.
- The Council prides itself on being a pre-eminent sponsor of cultural & intellectual exchanges between India and partner countries. It is the Council's resolve to continue to symbolize India's great cultural efflorescence in the years to come.[4]
The Council addresses its mandate of cultural diplomacy through a broad range of activities. In addition to organising cultural festivals in India and overseas, the ICCR financially supports a number of cultural institutions across India, and sponsors individual performers in dance, music, photography, theatre, and the visual arts. It also administers the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding established by the Government of India, in 1965.[5]
Empanelment of performing artists[edit]
To showcase the best of Indian performing and visual arts, the Council empanels performing artists who are proficient in their field. Empanelled artistes are added to a reference list, and may receive sponsorship from the Council when they perform internationally.
The ICCR offers 1804 scholarships every year, on behalf of the Government of India, to international students who choose to study various artistic and cultural disciplines in India. Undergraduate and Postgraduate students from over 70 countries have benefited from this scheme.
Promoting India's rich cultural heritage overseas is a central role of the Council. To this end, it sponsors exhibitions of India's contemporary, and traditional arts, in major events worldwide. Under various cultural exchange programmes, the ICCR also sponsors exhibitions of Indian art and crafts in foreign countries, and hosts return exhibitions from overseas.
The ICCR has an ambitious publication programme.
Six quarterly journals, are published in five different languages:
|Indian Horizons
|Africa Quarterly
|Papeles de la India
|Rencontre Avec I' Inde
In addition the Council has published a wide range of books, covering a variety of culturally oriented subjects. Published works include the writings of eminent Indian statesmen and philosophers like Mohandas K. Gandhi, Maulana Azad, Jawaharlal Nehru and Abanindranath Tagore.
The ICCR's Publication Programme, focusses on books relating to Indian culture, philosophy and mythology, traditional music, dance, and theatre. Translation of Sanskrit classics into foreign languages (including French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian and English) and translating works of World Literature into Hindi and other Indian languages is central to the ICCR philosophy of cultural exchange and diversity.

I recently posted the resignation letter of Ron Maggiano, an award-winning social studies teacher at West Springfield High School in Fairfax County, after a 33-year teaching career — four years shy of full retirement. In the following post, Maggiano recalls his first day of teaching — and his last, and explains why he is leaving his job.
By Ron Maggiano
I will never forget that day. It was my first day as a classroom teacher. I felt a range of emotions from excitement and anticipation to abject terror. Would my students like me? Would I find a way to motivate them to do their best? What if I let them down? What if I failed as a teacher?
Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. My students loved me, I did not let them down, and I received national recognition as a master teacher. In 2005, I was awarded the Disney Teacher Award for innovation and creativity in the classroom.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - Authorities say the student who opened fire on a Nevada middle school campus, wounding two students and killing a teacher, got the weapon from his home.
Washoe County School District Police said Tuesday they are still working to trace where the gun was bought.
Police said a Sparks Middle School student was the lone shooter and killed himself.
Police say 45-year-old math teacher and former Marine Michael Landsberry tried to stop the rampage before he was fatally shot.
The two boys who were shot are stable and recovering.
