Sources of Foreign Policy
People generally understand that the domestic politics of a large liberal democracy reflect a contending set of interests in which the controlling coalition need have no relationship to the true interests of the nation. America's agriculture policy, for example, reflects the interests of ranchers, corn, soybean, and cotton farmers rather than vegetable growers or food consumers. But this same thing happens in foreign policy…
This kind of thinking can sometimes reflect an accurate assessment of what's good for the country. But it's also redolent with interest group capture. When the USA assembles a large coalition of allies that is, among other things, a large coalition of customers for American defense contractors. What's more, the allies then often need defending, both in terms of military bases and general expeditionary capabilities. So we have a controlling domestic political coalition that's defined our "interests" in the Middle East as consisting of collecting a large and diversified portfolio of local allied regimes who we then directly and indirectly subsidize. But the proposition that this reflects the real interests of the American population is contestable. The connection to real interests is that the price of gasoline is very important to the welfare of the average American household, and that Middle Eastern politics are important to the price of gasoline.
What Yglesias is suggesting is that there's no such thing as the "national interest"; rather, different groups within society have different foreign policy interests. There may be broad swaths of agreement on certain interests, but even in these cases distributional preferences may differ. That this point is incredibly obvious and cannot be whispered by anyone with a serious interest in working for the United States government is unfortunate, but not particularly contradictory. I tend to find explanation of US government policy that center on "the Village" and other similar constructs sloppy and prone to over-explanation, but surely the uncontested idea that there IS a national interest that can be pursued without reference to interest group politics stands as pillar of elite domination of foreign policy debate.

internal or external?
internal or external?
all from my internal hdd..
can someone compile a new hermes hex for the olimex boards, i suspect there's something wrong with the hex in the evil_hermes post. Others are just getting booted to the xmb when they try to play anything as am i or the black screen of death. but the hack works great on my PIC chip and my tinyusbmkii. both play dead rising 2, madden, virtua fighter 5, modnation racers from what i've tested. Many thx in advance
Oddly enough I am still getting the black screen. Tried the 8xk you gave me, and tried the filemanager and backup manager. And both of them gave me a black screen on startup. I have tried multiple flash drives, and I formatted and reset my ps3. Anybody know what's going on?
Burnout Paradise also works.
One thing I've noticed is that some games like MK vs DC is problematic. I had to delete the data from GameData folder before it'll launch again. So I guess I can't have any save files for some games(I really don't know what that folder does)... Red Dead Redemption doesn't have this problem, so I'll try to compile a list of games that are doing that.
Also, I have to restart the console, and jailbreak for EACH game that I want to play. So I can't launch multiple games just by going to the backup manager. The games will show up in app_home/PS3_GAME but they all just display a black screen when trying to launch.
Once one game plays, you have to shutdown and do it all over again for a new game.
I can confirm the problem with black screen, games not loading and so on is not related with the backupmanager but with the hex file. Ive used the hermes-evil hex file for olimex board and no game worked. But with my new own compiled hex file all games worked without problem, so it seems the "evil" compiled hex files are broken!.
I´ve attached the olimex hex file for at90usb162 with fixed leds, and the backupmanager v2 tekken5 stealth. It uses the same directory as the old "Backupmanager-Tekken.pkg" _attention_ use it only if you have backuped your games with the tekken modified backupmanager, otherwise you cant use your already backuped games.
when I go to launch the game from app_home/ps3_games/ i get "To play this game, you must insert the following disc.".....(8001003E).
any ideas?
The new manager is loading games from the backupmanager screen not going to the xmb menu, and i have noticed the external hdd will work in any usb port insted of the last one on a fat unit.
How can i compile for ATmega32u2 ? somebody can help me, i installed WIN AVR.
but what file must i change ? somebody have tested with F1 2010 ?
Because when i launch, he said me data game are corrupted..
tried f1 2010. said game the game data is corrupted the game will close. you must delete the game data to play this game title

National Awareness Month
How to Help Someone Having a Seizure
At N-Style ID, many of the medical ID and medical alert jewelry we make is created for men, women and children with Epilepsy or other seizure disorders. As November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month, we thought we'd wrap-up November with an overview of what you should know and how to react if a loved one or a stranger has a seizure in your presence.
Many of us have never had to provide help and assistance for someone having a seizure. Because of this there are a few misconceptions about providing the correct care for seizures. Aside from some basic steps to follow, most of the time, a person having a seizure requires no assistance other than a caring and calming presence. If you have never seen someone having a seizure, it can be a somewhat scary experience. Just remember to stay calm at all times. Seizures will end within a couple of minutes. Seizures can be very confusing to those experiencing them and your reassuring presence is extremely comforting while the person is in "recovery mode" immediately following a seizure.
Now that you know the importance of staying calm and focused in the presence of someone having a seizure, he's a list of the top do's and dont's for providing care in the event of a seizure:
- Stay calm!
- Look for medical alert jewelry to confirm that the person has a Epilepsy or a seizure disorder
- Create the safest surrounding environment possible for the person seizing
- Remove sharp objects from around the person to prevent injury
- If possible, try to cushion their head with your hands, a pillow or any soft object to help prevent head injuries
- Try to loosen clothing around their neck
- Try to pay attention to the length of the seizure
- When the seizure is over, be sure to slowly move the person onto their left side. This is VERY important to help open their airway as any swelling of the tongue from the seizure or post-seizure vomiting could obstruct their breathing
- Recovery from the seizure will take a few minutes, but confusion and fatigue is sure to follow. Remain with that person until they are sufficiently recovered
- Do not attempt to restrain the person's body while convulsing. – This can cause injury to both yourself and the person suffering the seizure
- Do not put anything in the person's mouth – This is a major misconception that stems from the concern that a person with a seizure might swallow their tongue. They will not swallow their tongue
- Do not give the person water, food or pills until they are completely recovered
- Do not leave someone alone following the seizure until they have fully regained their bearings
Cal 911 if you are a loved one and the seizure lasts more that five minutes or if you are a stranger and helping someone who is without family or friends.
For those suffering from Epilepsy or a seizure disorder, always carry medical identification in the form of medical alert jewelry and medical ID card. In the event of an emergency, this will enable the people around you, especially strangers, to provide the appropriate treatment and maintain your safety in the event of a seizure.

American Diabetes Month Kick Off: An Overview of Events and Programs
Juvenile Diabetes directly affecting our family was the driving force behind starting a company focused on fun, fashion-focused medical alert jewelry for children and adults. At N-Style ID, we take the American Diabetes Month seriously and our grateful for an organization that drives so much awareness to the cause of ending Diabetes in America.
For November 2012, there are a variety of nationwide events and programs planned to support the cause of Diabetes. You can also check your local diabetes organization to find out about events close to home. To kick-off the month, we'd like to provide an overview of the major events and programs included in the Month's activities.
From a national Diabetes Awareness Month program view, the American Diabetes Association will be launching an interactive campaign in partnership with the Awareness month's title sponsor CVS Pharmacies. The program theme is "A Day in The Life of Diabetes" and is intended "to demonstrate the increasing impact diabetes has on our families and communities nationwide." - ADA
The campaign is centered on social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. Per the ADA, "The campaign is a call to action for individuals to take a public stand, via our social media channels…. to support the movement to Stop Diabetes®."
From October through November, the American Diabetes Association will encourage people to share photographs or imagery on the ADA Facebook or Twitter accounts to illustrate what "A Day in the Life of Diabetes" means to them and how Diabetes impacts their lives.
The beautiful part of this social media campaign is that all of the imagery posted will be woven into a spectacular "mosaic" representing people across the country living with or affected by diabetes in their lives and casting light on the inter-connectedness of this disease in people's lives.
To get people to participate in the program, CVS will be donating $1.00 for every image shared on Facebook or Twitter. To share you experience and learn more about the program go to: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanDiabetesAssociation
Along with the social media ADA programs, here are some annual events and programs to participate in:
STEP OUT Walk to Stop Diabetes
Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes is the signature nationwide fundraising walk of the American Diabetes Association. 20 years strong, this event has raised more than $150,000,000 to Stop Diabetes.
Be T1D for a Day
For November 2012, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation will launch a campaign designed to illustrate and raise awareness for what people with Type 1 Diabetes experience on a daily, hourly basis. The campaign is done via text messaging. Participants will receive text messages hourly throughout the day that "simulate the constant blood sugar testing, insulin injections, and dietary decisions that confront people with T1D." Learn more about this program: http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=117942
Become a Diabetes Advocate
American Diabetes Month is a great time to become an advocate for diabetes.
ADA Advocates are a critical part of the overall American Diabetes Ass goal of increasing funding for research, stopping discrimination in schools and at work, and improved access to health care among other things. Learn more about becoming an advocate at: http://www.diabetes.org/advocate/
The Safe at School Campaign
The Safe at School Campaign's mission is to promote safety and fairness for children with diabetes and is dedicated to "making sure all children with diabetes are medically safe at school and have the same educational opportunities as their classmates." This campaign relies heavily on the support and donations of others. To learn more about his awesome program and make a November donation, visit: http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/parents-and-kids/diabetes-care-at-school/
Tour De Cure
The final stop for the 2012 Tour De Cure will take place in Santa Barbara, CA on 11/10/11. The Tour De Cure is a series of diabetes awareness fundraising cycling event with participates riding for themselves, friends or families. Visit the Tour De Cure website for information the Santa Barbara tour and 2013 Tour dates. http://tour.diabetes.org/
The Risk Test
November is the time to take The Risk Test for Type 2 Diabetes and learn whether you are at risk for getting Type 2 Diabetes. This is a free test and it could be the most important test of your life. Go to http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/prevention/diabetes-risk-test/
Get Involved This Summer!
This long period of economic hardship in the U.S. has been accompanied by at least one positive trend: an increasing mood of charity among Americans. Many people are volunteering their time and energy to positive causes.
If you wish to contribute personally, there are many ways to provide assistance to those in need. One way to offer support to the well-being of the community is to participate in fundraisers like awareness walks and events. Below are a few suggested activities.
To help raise awareness for mental health issues and reduce the stigma of mental illnesses during May--Mental Health Month--local chapters of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) across the country are holding fundraising walks. NAMI offers a guide to the walks online.

April is Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month
April is Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month, an opportunity to learn more about the disease, to help raise public awareness, and to seek out ways to help the cause. April 11, Parkinson's Disease Day, is the birthday of James Parkinson, the English doctor who first described the disease in an 1817 essay. The red tulip was adopted as the symbol for Parkinson's disease (PD) when a Dutch horticulturalist with PD, J.W.S. Van der Wereld, developed a red and white tulip after Dr. James Parkinson.
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system most common in people over 50. The disorder is caused by the death of dopamine-containing cells in the brain, though what causes the cells to die is unknown. Movement related symptoms present themselves early in the onset of the disease. Among the most apparent symptoms are shaking, rigidness, slowed movement, and difficulty walking. Cognitive and behavioural problems usually arise as the disease progresses. Dementia often occurs in the late stages of Parkinson's disease.

April 2011: National Autism Awareness Month
April is National Autism Awareness Month. Since the 1970s, the Autism Society has been using the observance as an opportunity to educate the public about autism and issues concerning the autism community.
The term 'autism' is familiar to many, but the specifics of the disorder are not widely understood in the general public. Autism encompasses a spectrum of developmental disabilities that range from mild to severe. Problems with social communication is a symptom most widely shared by those with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The spectrum includes "classic" autistic disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD).
Autism symptoms fall into three main categories: social skills, language, and behavior. A person with autism may not respond to his or her name, may resist physical affection, and appear to be insensitive to others' feelings. Language problems for those with ASDs manifest initially as developmental delays and later, with the inability to start or maintain a conversation. A person with autism may speak with an abnormal rhythm or tone. Behavior issues include intense sensitivity to light, sound, and touch; performance of repetitive movements like rocking or spinning; and development of rituals and strict routines.

Paul H. Patterson, the Anne P. and Benjamin F. Biaggini Professor of Biological Sciences, Emeritus, at Caltech, and a neuroscientist and developmental biologist who created novel behavioral models of schizophrenia and autism in mice, died on Wednesday, June 25. He was 70 years old.
Patterson's research focused on interactions between the nervous and immune systems—a connection that was not universally acknowledged in the early days of neuroscience. "Professor Patterson was a pioneer and iconoclast who was not afraid to work outside the scientific mainstream, and who consequently made a number of important and seminal contributions that opened up entire fields of research," says David Anderson, Seymour Benzer Professor of Biology at Caltech and Patterson's longtime colleague.
One such contribution came early in his career when he began a postdoctoral fellowship, which eventually became a faculty position, in the department of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. There, he developed a laboratory technique for growing peripheral neurons—nerve cells that are not part of the brain or spinal cord—in a culture. Using this new technique, he found that mature peripheral neurons could change their identity in response to environmental influences, demonstrating that each cell's identity is not genetically determined and absolute, a fundamental discovery in neuroscience.
In 1983, after more than a decade at Harvard, Patterson joined the faculty at Caltech, where his uncle Clair Patterson was a longtime faculty member in the division of geological and planetary sciences. At Caltech, Paul Patterson built upon his previous work at Harvard, seeking to characterize the puzzling factor that caused those mature neurons to change their identity. In 1989, genetic sequencing revealed that the factor was a cytokine, or cell-signaling molecule, called leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), which had previously been identified based on its immunological function.
This finding influenced Patterson's initial involvement in the field of neuroimmunology. His newfound interest in working at the intersection of neuroscience and immunology led to his becoming increasingly curious about the biology of inflammation and its impact on the developing brain and on behavior.
As part of this work, he became intrigued by epidemiological studies that had linked a severe viral or bacterial infection during pregnancy with the increased risk of a woman giving birth to a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder such as schizophrenia or autism. Patterson and his coworkers reproduced this human effect in mice using a viral mimic that triggers an infection-like immune response in the mother, producing in the offspring the core behavioral symptoms associated with autism and schizophrenia.
Since its development in 2007, Patterson's mouse model has been used to study the environmental factors that influence the symptoms of human neurodevelopmental disorders and has increased awareness of the importance of those influences. Recently, the model informed a possible new therapy to treat schizophrenia-associated hallucinations.
In another recent study, Patterson and colleagues demonstrated that the gut microbiome, the diverse collection of bacteria that reside in the intestine, regulates behaviors in a mouse model of autism, and that probiotic treatment leads to improvements in behavioral deficits. These studies—a collaboration with Caltech microbiologist Sarkis Mazmanian—suggest that neurodevelopmental disorders with strong environmental influences may be ameliorated with microbial therapies.
"It will be a breakthrough to link the possible role of gut bacteria to autism, and I believe it gave him an explanation of how environmental components, about which he had speculated for years, contribute to the disease process—and it's sad that he's not going to be here to see what will happen over the next five to ten years," says Mazmanian, Luis B. and Nelly Soux Professor of Microbiology. "I think there will be increasing acceptance in the future for the perspectives that Paul has had for over two decades."
Professor Patterson also contributed to the understanding and treatment of Huntington's disease, a devastating hereditary neurological disorder. He served on the scientific advisory board of the Hereditary Disease Foundation since 1991, and with support from this foundation he carried out work that spanned more than a decade, applying his knowledge of monoclonal antibodies to develop new therapies for this incurable disease.
Patterson's dedication to science continued even after he began his battle with a brain tumor in late 2013. He attended lab meetings with his research group until he could no longer be moved in a wheelchair—and at that point, lab meetings were moved to his home to accommodate his attendance.
"I think the biggest compliment you can give him is that he was a true scientist; he did everything with respect to the scientific process," Mazmanian says. "When he was first diagnosed with glioblastoma—before the surgery, radiation, and chemo—he called both of our labs together for a meeting, since we work so closely. He then gave a lab meeting about his own disease. He showed an MRI of his own tumor, he showed data from papers he had read about his disease, and he talked about clinical trials that were going on. It was his way of communication. It's the way he approached everything: as a scientist."
In addition to the medical and therapeutic possibilities of his own work, Patterson thought that Caltech graduate students should also have an opportunity to explore their work in a clinical setting. He was instrumental in developing the Institute's MD/PhD joint degree program—a collaboration that allows graduate students to combine their Caltech research experience with medical education at UCLA or USC.
"Paul showed creativity both in curriculum development, in student mentoring, and in bringing the Caltech faculty together to support a program, which was in collaboration with another major institution," says Richard Bergman, director of the Cedars-Sinai Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute, who helped Patterson form the initial collaboration with USC. "His contributions in this regard educated several generations of students who, today, continue to make important contributions to medical science. This was a great legacy of Professor Patterson."
Patterson was also an advocate for students both within and outside of academia, says Athena Castro, executive director of the Caltech Y. Patterson and his wife, Carolyn, were both members of the Caltech Y—an external organization that aims to broaden the horizons of Caltech students and increase their social awareness. "He cared deeply about students and their well-being, and also took his role as mentor very seriously. He made a positive impact on people's lives in many ways," she says. "Those of us involved with him at the Caltech Y will remember him for his genuine concern for and kindness toward others, his passion for his work, and his spirit."
Born in Chicago in 1943, Patterson stayed in the Midwest for college, graduating with a bachelor's degree from Grinnell College in Iowa in 1965. From there, he moved east for graduate school at Johns Hopkins University, earning his doctorate under advisor William Lennarz in 1970.
Patterson served as the executive officer for neurobiology at Caltech from 1989 to 2000. He was also the recipient of numerous awards and honors and was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn, and his son, Paul.
Evaluating another person's emotions based on facial expressions can sometimes be a complex task. As it turns out, this process isn't so easy for the brain to sort out either. Building on previous studies targeting the amygdala, a region in the brain known to be important for the processing of emotional reactions, a team of researchers from Caltech, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, have found that some brain cells recognize emotions based on the viewer's preconceptions rather than the true emotion being expressed. In other words, it's possible for the brain to be biased. The team was able to record these responses from single neurons using existing electrodes—indicated by the arrows in the MRI image at right—placed in the brains of patients who were being treated for epilepsy. Participants were shown images of partially obscured faces showing either happiness or fear (see secondary image) and were asked to guess the emotion being shown. According to the researchers, the brain responded similarly whether or not the patient guessed the correct emotion.
"These are very exciting findings suggesting that the amygdala doesn't just respond to what we see out there in the world, but rather to what we imagine or believe about the world," says Ralph Adolphs, the Bren Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Caltech and coauthor of a paper that discusses the team's study. "It's particularly interesting because the amygdala has been linked to so many psychiatric diseases, ranging from anxiety to depression to autism. All of those diseases are about experiences happening in the minds of the patients, rather than objective facts about the world that everyone shares."
What's next? Says Shuo Wang, a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech and first author of the paper, "Of course, the amygdala doesn't accomplish anything by itself. What we need to know next is what happens elsewhere in the brain, so we need to record not only from the amygdala, but also from other brain regions with which the amygdala is connected."
The paper, which also included Caltech postdoctoral scholar Oana Tudusciuc, was published on June 30 in the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Trillions of bacteria live in and on the human body; a few species can make us sick, but many others keep us healthy by boosting digestion and preventing inflammation. Although there's plenty of evidence that these microbes play a collective role in human health, we still know very little about most of the individual bacterial species that make up these communities. Employing the use of a specially designed glass chip with tiny compartments, Caltech researchers now provide a way to target and grow specific microbes from the human gut—a key step in understanding which bacteria are helpful to human health and which are harmful.
The work was published the week of June 23 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Although a few bacterial species are easy to grow in the laboratory, needing only a warm environment and plenty of food to multiply, most species that grow in and on the human body have never been successfully grown in lab conditions. It's difficult to recreate the complexity of the microbiome—the entire human microbial community—in one small plate (a lidded dish with nutrients used to grow microbes), says Rustem Ismagilov, Ethel Wilson Bowles and Robert Bowles Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Caltech.
There are thousands of species of microbes in one sample from the human gut, Ismagilov says, "but when you grow them all together in the lab, the faster-growing bacteria will take over the plate and the slow-growing ones don't have a chance—leading to very little diversity in the grown sample." Finding slow-growing microbes of interest is like finding a needle in a haystack, he says, but his group wanted to work out a way to "just grow the needle without growing the hay."
To do this, Liang Ma, a postdoctoral scholar in Ismagilov's lab, developed a way to isolate and cultivate individual bacterial species of interest. He and his colleagues began by looking for bacterial species that contained a set of specific genetic sequences. The targeted gene sequences belong to organisms on the list of "Most Wanted" microbes—a list developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Microbiome Project. The microbes carrying these genetic sequences are found abundantly in and on the human body, but have been difficult to grow in the lab.
To grow these elusive microbes, the Caltech researchers turned to SlipChip, a microfluidic device previously developed in Ismagilov's lab. SlipChip is made up of two glass slides, each the size of a credit card, that have tiny etched grooves which become channels when the grooved surfaces are stacked atop one another. When a sample—say, a jumbled-up assortment of bacteria species collected from a colonoscopy biopsy—is added to the interconnected channels of the SlipChip, a single "slip" of the top chip will turn the channels into individual wells, with each well ideally holding a single microbe. Once sequestered in an isolated well, each individual bacterium can divide and grow without having to compete for resources with other types of faster-growing microbes.
The researchers then needed to determine which compartment of the SlipChip contained a colony of the target bacterium—which is not a simple task, says Ismagilov. "It's a Catch-22—you have to kill the organism in order to find its DNA sequence and figure out what it is, but you want a live organism at the end of the day, so that you can grow and study this new microbe," he says. "Liang solves this in a really clever way; he grows a compartment full of his target microbe in the SlipChip, then he splits the compartment in half. One half contains the live organism and the other half is sacrificed for its DNA to confirm that the sequence is that of the target microbe."
The method of creating two halves in each well in the SlipChip will be published separately in an upcoming issue of the journal Integrative Biology.
To validate the new methodology, the researchers isolated one specific bacterium from the Human Microbiome Project's "Most Wanted" list. The investigators used the SlipChip to grow this bacterium in a tiny volume of the washing fluid that was used to collect the gut bacteria sample from a volunteer. Since bacteria often depend on nutrients and signals from the extracellular environment to support growth, the substances from this fluid were used to recreate this environment within the tiny SlipChip compartment—a key to successfully growing the difficult organism in the lab.
After growing a pure culture of the previously unidentified bacterium, Ismagilov and his colleagues obtained enough genetic material to sequence a high-quality draft genome of the organism. Although a genomic sequence of the new organism is a useful tool, further studies are needed to learn how this species of microbe is involved in human health, Ismagilov says.
In the future, the new SlipChip technique may be used to isolate additional previously uncultured microbes, allowing researchers to focus their efforts on important targets, such as those that may be relevant to energy applications and the production of probiotics. The technique, says Ismagilov, allows researchers to target specific microbes in a way that was not previously possible.
The paper is titled "Gene-targeted microfluidic cultivation validated by isolation of a gut bacterium listed in Human Microbiome Project's Most Wanted taxa." In addition to Liang and Ismagilov, other coauthors include, from Caltech, associate scientist Mikhail A. Karymov, graduate student Jungwoo Kim, and postdoctoral scholar Roland Hatzenpichler, and, from the University of Chicago department of medicine, Nathanial Hubert, Ira M. Hanan, and Eugene B. Chang. The work was funded by NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute. Microfluidic technologies developed by Ismagilov's group have been licensed to Emerald BioStructures, RanDance Technologies, and SlipChip Corporation, of which Ismagilov is a cofounder.
The 59th Annual Staff Service Awards will be presented in Beckman Auditorium on Monday, June 2, at 10 a.m. During the ceremony, more than 250 staff members whose service ranges from 10 to 50 years will be honored. A full list of awardees can be found here.
This week we are featuring Caltech staff members who will be recognized for 40 and 45 years of service to the Institute.
The honorees include three 40-year staff members: Eugene Akutagawa, a senior scientist in biology and a member of the professional staff; Susi Martin, assistant to the Board of Trustees; and Steve Vass, a senior instrument specialist at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO).
Eugene Akutagawa graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in microbiology; a help-wanted ad in the Los Angeles Times for a lab assistant brought him to Caltech, where "I was standing in the hallway, waiting to be interviewed, and there's [Nobel Laureate] Max Delbrück coming out of the lab. To me, a microbiologist, he was like a god, and there he was, right in my face—so I knew this place was going to be great. And I liked its smallness, especially contrasted with UCLA, where undergraduate biology classes were 700 or 800 people spilling into the aisles."
Nevertheless, his first job proved unrewarding. "I was implanting electrodes in rats and watching them press the lever until they pooped out," Akutagawa recalls. (The lab belonged to Research Associate Marianne Olds, whose husband, Bing Professor of Behavioral Biology James Olds, had discovered the brain's pleasure center more than two decades earlier.) "Then one day, I was sitting in the parking lot eating my lunch, and a mockingbird landed on a bush and started singing his heart out. I thought, 'I know he's not really singing words, but he's communicating. It would be interesting to study that.' And lo and behold, within a few months Mark Konishi [now the Bing Professor of Behavioral Biology, Emeritus] came here from Princeton."
Konishi had already made a name for himself studying songbirds and owls, so Akutagawa changed labs. The job interview was informal, Akutagawa recalls. "Mark said, 'What experience do you have?' And I said, 'Well, when I was growing up in Hawaii, I tried to save nestlings that had fallen out of their nests.' And he looked at me very sternly and said, 'What did you feed them?' I said, 'Rice. And water.' 'Did any of them live?' 'Nope. They all died.' I think he appreciated my honesty. He never told me I got the job, but he went over to the chalkboard and drew a football shape. He said, 'That's canary seed. That goes to canaries and white-crowned sparrows.' And he drew a little circle, and he says, 'That's millet. That goes to the finches.'"
Within a decade Akutagawa had become a full-fledged collaborator, doing the meticulous microscopy needed to trace fine neural circuitry. In 1985, Konishi and Akutagawa published a paper that showed why male zebra finches sing and females don't: specialized neurons in the male's brain flourish and develop many connections, but in females they atrophy and die. Says Akutagawa, "Our relationship eventually evolved into me doing my own independent research. It's been quite a ride, I must say." The ride, however, is nearing its end; Konishi has retired, and Akutagawa will be following suit.
"I love this job," Akutagawa continues. "It's more like a hobby. It's just an amazing place to work, in large part because Mark was just an incredible supervisor. He gave us a lot of freedom, which spurs a lot of good science."
Susi Martin works in the Caltech president's office as assistant to the Board of Trustees. The Board has 85 members and meets five times a year, and Martin manages their comings and goings. She says, "I arrange transportation to and from the airport, hotels, whatever assistance they need. It could be anything." During her tenure, she's moved from a Selectric typewriter to a Filemaker Pro database to the Internet; from three-ring binders to PDFs.
Martin began her Caltech career in the procurement division at JPL before joining the office of then-director Bruce Murray. After a special assignment supporting the Seasat mission's Failure Review Board in 1978, she moved on to one of JPL's early biomedical technology projects before transferring to the Lab's office of planning and review. It was there in April, 1981 that Hardy Martel (BS '49, PhD '56), an electrical engineering professor and the secretary to Caltech's Board of Trustees, called to inquire whether she'd consider moving to campus. One of Martin's former colleagues in the director's office, Mary Webster, had joined the staff of Caltech president Marvin Goldberger earlier that year; when Martel became in need of an assistant, Webster had recommended Martin.
From 1988 to 1994, Martin also served first as assistant secretary and then secretary to the board of directors of the California Association for Research in Astronomy (CARA), a partnership set up by Caltech and the University of California to build and operate the W. M. Keck Observatory on the summit of Mauna Kea.
"I love working with the trustees," Martin says. "It is an honor and a delight—they are a truly remarkable group of individuals, and it is a privilege to facilitate their work on behalf of Caltech." Over the past 33 years, no two days have been the same, she says. "The challenges have been interesting, but the rewards have been awesome and tremendously diverse." For example, Martin was at JPL for the landing of the Mars rover Curiosity, staffing one of the rooms set up for the trustees. "Seeing that first image of the rover's shadow cast on the surface was just amazing," she recalls. "To see something nobody else had ever seen—to be a part of that history—was so cool."
While Akutagawa and Martin have essentially stayed put, Steve Vass has occupied eight different offices in three of Caltech's academic divisions. Vass was born and raised in Hungary, where he learned electronics at a trade school. "I had some college but not too much." He eventually came to the United States, where he landed a job in Caltech's biology division in the laboratory of then-professor Leroy Hood (BS '60, PhD '68). Vass helped Hood and postdoc Michael Hunkapiller (PhD '74) build the protein sequenator, which automatically determines the sequence of amino acids that make up a protein. Two decades later, this machine and the other ones developed in the Hood lab—the protein synthesizer, the DNA synthesizer, and the DNA sequenator—would spark the biotech revolution of the 1990s.
In the early 1980s, Vass moved to the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, where he built X-ray diffractometers for physical chemist Richard Dickerson. Dickerson used them to make high-precision measurements of DNA's crystal structure—both its usual right-handed spiral and the less common left-handed form.
In 1987, Vass moved again—to the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy and the LIGO project. LIGO searches for the gravitational waves that Einstein predicted would be generated by the motions of extremely massive bodies—colliding black holes being an oft-cited example. The detector consists of twin interferometers, each with a perpendicular set of 4-kilometer-long arms, that were built in Louisiana and Washington in the late 1990s. When Vass joined the project, the design's details were being worked out in a prototype interferometer with 40-meter arms that had been built on the Caltech campus. Nearly two decades later, the 40-meter prototype remains the proving ground for next-generation ideas.
Vass describes how LIGO changed his perspective: "In biology, people said, 'Oh, if we only had a good chemist, we would hit it out of the park.' Then in chemistry they said, 'Oh, if we had a really good electronics guy, we would be just the best.' But in physics, they say, 'We know everything. We can do it ourselves.'"
"Basically, I run the lab, but the fun part is you get to do everything. This morning, I've been hunting for 'ground loops.' The east end of the interferometer has a 60-Hertz hum, which is line current, and it's ruining the spectrum. So I'm going around with an ohmmeter looking for something disconnected—or something connected that shouldn't be. My job is to prepare the best possible environment to get good science done."
LIGO measures the distance between suspended mirrors to within a billionth of the diameter of an atom by bouncing a laser beam between them, so Vass begins his mornings making sure the interferometer hasn't lost lock. "If people stayed really late the night before, things will be fine," he says. "But if they left at 10 p.m., everything will have drifted a little. And earthquakes affect the machine. It's much better designed against quakes now, but in earlier days if we had a local magnitude 4, our precious glass might have fallen and gotten chipped, or our mirror coating could have been ruined. Back then it was a baby, and I've seen it grow up with my kids. I have grandkids now, and someday LIGO will produce something, too—some cosmic event will happen close by, and we'll see it."
"I have to say thank you to all the people who've helped me grow," Vass concludes. "I've learned a lot here and had a lot of fun doing it."
Today we celebrate Ditch Day, one of Caltech's oldest traditions. During this annual spring rite—the timing of which is kept secret until the last minute—seniors ditch their classes and vanish from campus. Before they go, however, they leave behind complex, carefully planned out puzzles and challenges—known as "stacks"—designed to occupy the underclass students and prevent them from wreaking havoc on the seniors' unoccupied rooms.
Follow the action on Caltech's Facebook and Twitter pages as the undergraduates tackle the puzzles left around campus for them to solve, and get in on the conversation by sharing your favorite Ditch Day memories. Be sure to use #CaltechDitchDay in your tweets and postings.

Bay State Perennial Farm is known for its wide selection of perennials. Plants are listed alphabetically by their latin names and can be located by clicking on the first letter of the plant name in the alphabet above.
Rudbeckia maxima
Ratibida pinnata 2½" long, bright golden petals droop gracefully from large central cones atop tall, 4-6'high, sturdy stems, July-September. Foliage is restricted to the lower half of the stem so that the large, distinctive flowers resemble pennants fluttering at the ends of long sticks. Native to prairies and meadows of the upper Midwestern US where it has developed the essential lifesaving skills of drought and cold tolerance. Makes an easy to grow, large, long blooming and beautiful statement at the back of the hot sunny border. Also a must-have in the meadow garden. Native, attracts butterflies, nice for cutting, deer resistant. Zone 4.
Rhuem palmatum var. tanguticum (Ornamental Rhubarb) Large, beautifully crafted leaves, green on top, flushing bright burgundy on the under sides, burgundy petioles. Clumps may reach 6' across, with flower stalks rising to 6' high bearing rosy pink to white panicles. Plants explode out of the ground in spring and expand so rapidly that you can almost see them growing! Rich, organic, consistently moist soil is required for plants to reach their full ornamental impact. For sun to light shade. A good choice for pond, and stream side plantings. Also consistently wet, even boggy areas, places where Ligularia 'The Rocket' would be happy. Zone 5.
Rodgersia Native to China and Japan, Rodgersia are large plants with large compound leaves. All are moisture and part, to full shade lovers, and will look their best only when these conditions are met. Ideal sites are bogs, pond or brook sides and water gardens. Flowers are white or light to dark pink and occur in astilbe-like panicles in early summer. 3-4ft. tall and, in time, 5ft. wide. Bold and spectacular when in favored locations. Zone 5.
'Fireworks' Leaves emerge deep burgundy and fade to dark green with red edges, and clear, deep pink flowers in summer. 1 1/2ft. tall. Zone 5. Forms an impressive clump with large, compound, beautifully colored foliage that, by itself, would make this plant desirable. Best in part shade with consistent moisture. One of the best for brining size and contrasting texture to the moist, shady garden.
pinnata 'Superba' Branched panicles of tiny true pink flowers, reminiscent of larger and looser Astilbe blooms, rise on well-branched 40" stems in late spring-early summer. Large , pinnate leaves are often bronzy in spring. Very attractive in a waterside planting. Spreads out quite a bit, so only a few are needed for quite a show. Zone 5.
tabularis see under Woodland Flowers
Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm' (Black-eyed Susan) Gold daisies in late summer, 2', 1999 PPA Perennial Plant of the Year. Zone 4.
Rudbeckia fulgida 'Little Goldstar' A dwarf cultivar,12" high by 20" wide with deep green foliage that remains clean throughout the summer, and golden yellow, brown-eyed daisies that bloom from mid-summer on into autumn. It's a tidy, well behaved plant suitable for many garden uses such as at the front of mixed borders, in smaller areas, in containers and in prairie style gardens. Looks great in large groups. It's compact yet vigorous habit, clean foliage and continual flowering make this a choice addition to any garden. Best in full sun, with good drainage, quite drought tolerant once established. Zone 3.
Rudbeckia hirta See under Tenders
RUDBECKIA laciniata 'Autumn Sun' (aka 'Herbstonne') 6-8ft. tall with loads of large, green- centered, yellow daisies. A big, bodacious and well behaved, late summer plant that combines beautifully with taller grasses and larger Asters such as A. 'Alma Potschke', and with Eupatorium 'Gateway'. Zone 5.
Rudbeckia maxima Large, glaucous, blue-green leaves form a loose rosette out of which soar 6-7' tall flower stalks that bloom in mid to late June through July with flowers that have downward-facing, golden petals and exceptionally large cones, sometime measuring 2" high. The unusual glaucous foliage, tall flower stems and large central cones give this Rudbeckia a distinctive look. Zone 5.
Rudbeckia triloba R. triloba gets 4' tall and is a blooming engine easily producing thousands of 2", golden yellow flowers with prominent black cones from mid summer till fall. Easy anywhere in full sun with average soil. Thrives almost everywhere from wet to very dry, with full sun. Short lived but self seeds with a vengence so that once you plant it you'll always have new plants to replace old ones. Thrives in our bone dry, baking hot gravel parking lot. Zone 4.
Rudbeckia triloba 'Prairie Glow' We've always been fans of R. triloba for its long bloom and indestructible constitution so we're really excited about 'Prairie Glow' which, like R. triloba, blooms profusely from mid summer till fall, but with larger, orange/red flowers with petals tipped yellow, instead of all yellow flowers. 4' tall. Does well in moist or dry, fertile or poor soil. A naturalizing, self seeding biennial or short-lived perennial. Easy in all soils except those that are too wet. This is a blooming engine that knows no restraint, injecting bright daubs of color into the border or meadow in an endless flow of bloom. Zone 4.
Ruellia humilis (Wild Petunia) A neat, mounding habit 1½ft. tall and wide and a display of light lavender, petunia-like flowers for many weeks tin late summer. Plants have a voracious root system that defies drought. Seeds around a bit and unwanted volunteers should be removed when young, before the roots get a purchase on the site. Full sun. Zone 4.

Dominic Hannigan (born July 1965) is an Irish Labour Party politician and a member of Dáil Éireann.[1][2] He was elected as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Meath East constituency at the 2011 general election,[3] having previously served in Seanad Éireann from 2007 to 2011.
Early and personal life[edit]
Hannigan was born in Drogheda, County Louth. He was educated at University College Dublin with a degree in Civil Engineering, at the City University London with a Masters in Transport and at the University of London with a Masters in Finance.[4] He emigrated from Ireland in the 1980s to look for work.[5] Hannigan returned to Ireland and worked as a Civil engineer.
Hannigan is openly gay.[6]
Political career[edit]
Early career (2004–07)[edit]
Hannigan entered electoral politics when he was elected as an independent councillor to Meath County Council for the Slane electoral area at the 2004 local elections, serving as chairperson of the council's Planning and Economic Development Committee.[7] Hannigan subsequently joined the Labour Party in October 2004,[8] and first stood for Dáil Éireann at the 2005 Meath by-election, which saw the Labour vote increase by over 3,000 first preference votes since the 2002 general election. His next election was the 2007 general election, again missing out on the third seat, this time to Thomas Byrne.[9]
Seanad Éireann (2007–11)[edit]
As part of an election pact between Labour and Sinn Féin for the 2007 Seanad election, Hannigan was elected on the first count, to the Industrial and Commercial Panel of Seanad Éireann.[10] In Seanad Éireann he was the Labour Party Whip and spokesperson on Commuter Issues, Environment and Local Government, Foreign Affairs and Defence.
He was one of the first members of the Oireachtas to support the candidacy of Eamon Gilmore following the resignation of Pat Rabbitte as leader of the Labour Party on 23 August 2007. He subsequently became the Chairman of Eamon Gilmore's leadership campaign to become leader.
In September 2007, he submitted proposals to the Department of Environment and Local Government for town councils for Ashbourne and the Meath coastal area and called for the abolition of county managers.[11]
In 2011, he said that population growth during the Celtic Tiger years was more dramatic in Meath than elsewhere in Ireland and that this was having a profound effect on the county's education system.[12] He spoke in favour of a cost-benefit analysis of the proposed Slane bypass in February 2011.[13]
Dáil Éireann (2011–present)[edit]
At the 2011 general election, Hannigan topped the poll in Meath East.[14] In doing so Hannigan became one of the first two openly gay people to be elected to Dáil Éireann, a distinction he shares with Dublin North-West's John Lyons.[15] It is believed that at least one gay TD preceded them but none had made their sexual orientation publicly known.[16]
The Meath Chronicle compared Hannigan to Speedy Gonzales as he "flitted at high speed from one spot to the next" on the campaign trail.[17] He was "followed by a large posse of journalists and camera crews" when party leader Eamon Gilmore joined him during the campaign.[18]
Hannigan was elected Chairman of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement in June 2011.
In January 2012, Hannigan was elected Chairman of the Joint Committee on EU Affairs, following which he stepped down as Chairman of the Good Friday Agreement Committee.[19]

Clifton Park Town Supervisor Phil Barrett announced at the Monday, Aug. 6 town board meeting that the town was another step closer to cutting the $150 rebate checks to all town households.
Gov. Eliot Spitzer signed off on the Home Rule message that had passed the state Assembly and Senate, giving the town the final go-ahead.
We just didn't want to get too far into it until we got the absolute thumbs up from the governor, Barrett said. "Now that we've got that, we're working on those specific details."
"Households that will get the funds are very easy to point out," he added.
"Then we've got to break it down to the apartments, but we're going to work with apartment owners on that. We've already enlisted their help."
Republican councilman Scott Hughes said that apartment renters will likely have to fill out a small form, which will be available online or in the clerk's office, to claim their tax rebate. He said the town plans to advertise so all renters are aware that the rebate is available.
"It's going to be something that if you've got 30 seconds, in a perfect world, you'll be able to fill out the application," Hughes said.
Hughes, who is running for town board this year, has been at the forefront of the rebate effort. He said that no specific timeframe for disbursement is available yet, although he has said in the past that the checks should go out by the end of the year.
"We've got a group of people in place, the comptroller, town attorney, the assessor; we'll probably pull in one community representative," Hughes said.
"We're going to do this in an expeditious way, but we're going to do it by the book."
After the meeting, local Democrats again charged that the rebate was politically motivated.

Update on regulatory approvals
In August 2009, Amcor announced that it had made a binding offer to acquire certain parts of the operations of Alcan packaging.
The businesses to be acquired had sales of US$4,082 million in CY2008. The combined Amcor and Alcan Packaging sales are approximately US$13 billion.
The acquisition is conditional on clearance by antitrust and competition authorities in the United States and the European Union, as well as various otherregulatory approvals in other jurisdictions.
On October 26th 2009 the European Commission accepted Amcor's antitrust filing and a decision on that filing was due on November 30th.
There will now be a two week delay on that ruling to December 14th due to a request by the Commission to extend its period of evaluation as well as review the need for a potential remedy.
Although Amcor believes that no part of the transaction will have an adverse impact on competition, we anticipate a remedy, if any, would involve the divestment of an Amcor flexible packaging plant with sales of less than $US100 million. This possible sale of a single plant would not have a material impact on synergies. The combined Amcor and Alcan Packaging businesses in Europe currently have sales of approximately US$4.8 billion in 75 plants.
With regard to the other regulatory approvals Amcor has already been granted approval in Australia, Canada, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine, and is expected to obtain feedback from the Department of Justice in the US in the coming weeks.

Great parallel with HP! As usual, I love the humor in your drawings
this is so good.
HAHAHA. Glad you liked it!
Ya, I really liked it. When I first saw this a few months ago (before I was on dA), I emailed it to my BFF who is also obsessed with TM and HP. She loved it too. But it's true. If you have either of those jobs, you're doomed!
I was actually happy when Wainwright died, because I hated him (who didn't?!)
Aww that's great!
Well, to be honest I liked Wainwright.. he was a little bit unexperienced maybe, so sometimes he wasn't too efficient (though with Jane, no one is too efficient in handling him), but I was very sad that he had to die, especially that way
Oh, sorry then. But I personally DESPISED HIM..... Lol. For some reason I just really hated him...I don't know why, but I did...
Oh Yeah... I love it! I love Snape, too...
That's awesome! Harry Potter and The Mentalist... such a great combination!
Can you imagine how much mischief Jane could have done with a young Harry xD?
Love it!
Love it!
LOL it totally is the Defence Against the Dark Arts job! d:
.........I'm going to hug you for this.
Hahahaha, died!!! xD
LOL Me encanta, soy fan no solo de TM sino también de HP!!!
on harry potter there was also professor quirrel, lockhart and umbridge. other than that AWESOME!
Oh I know xD. I had actually drawn Quirrel but decided not to include him. The group of Harry Potter was getting too big and I have a limit on the picture's width xD
Thank you!
Thank you!
The resemblance is striking XD. Nice.
What you did there, I see it. xD
I lol'd. So true!
I lol'd. So true!
Luuuuuuupiiiiiiiiiiiin!! WAAAAH!! D'X
I KNOW ;O; looking for pictures of him was so sad... but Snape's killed me T^T
jajajajaj esto es lo que siempre digo! Sus puestos están igual de malditos jajaja
Siiii aunque los de Harry Potter acaban peor xD... el único que lo equipara más es pobrecito Wainwright u,u

Where's the Flu? Get Ready
Latest Cold and Flu News
CDC Data Show Little U.S. Flu, but Google Flu Trends Shows Hot Spots
By Daniel J. DeNoon
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Dec. 29, 2011 -- Where is this flu season we keep hearing about? Brace yourself.
Although it's seemed pretty quiet so far, flu season may already have arrived.
Although official CDC data show little flu activity throughout the U.S., it takes about two weeks to compile that data. More timely data from Google's Flu Trends report is showing "moderate" flu activity in the U.S. overall, with about half of states still in the "low" category. But Kentucky and Nevada have "high" flu activity. So do several cities -- Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Miami, and Washington, D.C. -- although Google Flu Trends for cities is still experimental.
Although the Google data are based on searches for flu information as opposed to actual cases, in recent years it's done a pretty good job of predicting what CDC will report. Also, the CDC provides a link to Google's data off of its weekly flu report.
It may seem that flu season is getting a late start this year -- especially with the October peak of the 2009-2010 season -- but that's not the case. Last year, according to the CDC, flu activity started picking up in early January and peaked from mid-January to mid-February.
"The timing of flu circulation in the U.S. varies from year to year," Joseph Bresee, MD, chief of epidemiology and prevention at the CDC's Influenza Division, tells WebMD. "We often see little flu activity before January. We expect over the next few weeks to see it picking up."
CDC data from 1976 through 2011 show that 16 flu seasons peaked in February. Seven peaked in January, four peaked in December, four peaked in March, two peaked in April, and October and November each had one peak. (There was a "peak" in April 2009 due to the first wave of the flu pandemic, but that was outside the normal flu season).
There's only one thing that's for sure. "We always have a flu season," Bresee says.
Blunting the impact of the season is the record amount of flu vaccine available this year.More than 130 million doses of the vaccine were distributed in the U.S. by mid-December. It's not yet clear how many people actually got vaccinated, but Bresee is hopeful that increased use of the vaccine will make the season milder.
So far, the three flu strains covered by the seasonal flu vaccine are a good match for the flu strains circulating in the U.S.
New H3N2v Swine Flu Pops Up in 5 States
Not covered by the vaccine is the new H3N2v swine flu. The virus has been circulating among swine herds in the U.S. and probably elsewhere.
So far there have been 12 human infections with the virus. Six of the people infected caught the bug directly from live pigs, but six others -- including two unrelated children who attended the same day care in West Virginia -- had no recent exposure to pigs.
The bug has popped up in humans in five states: Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Three of the patients were hospitalized. All fully recovered. There has been no sustained person-to-person spread of the virus, Bresee says, but the CDC is keeping close tabs on the situation.
That humans are catching the virus from pigs is ironic. Pigs got the parent H3N2 virus from humans in the early 1990s.
"Flu viruses circulating in swine occasionally infect humans," says Bresee. "Usually they are one-off infections and go no further. Here it looks like there has been some person-to-person spread in at least two outbreaks, but we don't see sustained human spread."

text: With Thursday's (5th March) weakness, back to trading near real estate value: Although cost cuts got RT to a decent ex-gains EPS number, 3Q results clearly disappointed. Top-line was the issue, with a significant 2-year comp decline against a slightly improving industry trend. That said, after today's weakness, we see the value of RTs real estate again offering downside support (we estimate real estate value of ~$750mil vs a current EV of ~$770). Taking this and the option values discussed below into account, we remain comfortable with an Outperform rating.RT fundamentals and Lime Fresh represent two options going forward: RT continues using cost cuts to fund massive investments in outside consultants, food quality, menu innovation, and marketing. Investors are well prepared for the costs, but essentially hold an option on any corresponding improvement in fundamentals. RT also announced it has purchased Lime Fresh (it previously franchised.) We believe investors currently ascribe minimal value with it, and hold an option on RT turning it into a meaningful growth story....Although options may take longer to fully play out: A completely turnaround in fundamentals or a Lime Fresh growth story don't happen over night; however, we believe expectations are low enough that even moderately positive data points could be a mild catalyst.Estimate changes and valuation, price target falls to 9 (from $10): Following results, our F12 EPS est. falls to 0.45 from 0.61, F13 to 0.50 from 0.76, and F14 to 0.69 from 0.88. Our 9 (from 10) price target is based on a 14x multiple applied to our NTM, 12 mo. from now, EPS est. of 0.64.
