$5 million in grants finalized for bridge projectsBy Emily Reed Published 3:51pm Wednesday, May 15, 2013
A list released Monday confirmed Chilton County was approved for 17 projects for a little more than $5 million with eight bridge replacement projects deemed a priority.
"Each county submitted a list of projects and a priority basis for the projects," Wearren said. "All of the projects then went to a committee and the committee selected what projects would be approved."
Under RAMP, counties and cities are eligible to receive up to $1 million in state funds to match an additional $4 million in federal funds. RAMP allows ALDOT to sell bonds to provide the local match to participating counties and cities.
Counties taking part in RAMP previously had no projects, or only limited projects, as part of ATRIP due to limited local funds. In all, 22 counties are eligible to participate in RAMP based on current local funding needs. With Bentley's announcement on Monday of 254 RAMP projects, the total number of road and bridge improvements announced under ATRIP so far is 693.
According to the list, the eight bridges in Chilton County listed as a priority in the order they will be worked on include: a bridge on County Road 2 over Mahan Creek, a bridge on County Road 255 over River Branch, a bridge on County Road 32 over Walnut Creek, a bridge on County Road 535 over Mountain Creek, a bridge on County Road 232 over Benson Creek, a bridge on County Road 478 over Cargile Creek, a bridge on County Road 822 over Flat Branch and a bridge on County Road 214 over Spur Mulberry Creek.
Wearren said a specific date for when all of the bridge projects will be completed is difficult to estimate due to bridges having a lengthy process before completion.
"Getting a bridge finished takes a long time because there is so much red tape involved," Wearren said. "There are a lot of steps including historical studies, endangered species studies and hydraulic studies that have to be completed before work can be done to fix a bridge."
However, Wearren said work had already been started on the first bridge listed on the list along County Road 2 over Mahan Creek.
"We have already started the drawings for the first bridge in the project and the next bridge we will be working on along County Road 255 will not be as difficult to finish," Wearren said.
After the bridge projects are completed, other projects approved for Chilton County include resurfacing county roads 29 and 48, restriping county roads 54 and 73, adding a culvert on County Road 42 in Jemison, resurfacing Highway 22 bypass in Maplesville, resurfacing County Road 50 in Thorsby, adding turn lanes on county roads 42 and 44 in Jemison and resurfacing Medical Center Drive in Thorsby.

Helpful Definition for: Consignment Shops
Consignment shops in Saint Cloud are second-hand stores that offer used goods at a lower cost than new. Many offer new items as well. Merchandise often sold through consignment shops in Saint Cloud include antiques, athletic equipment, automobiles, books, clothing, furniture, firearms, music, musical instruments, tools, and toys. In the shop, a consignor typically brings his second-hand clothes to be reviewed; the acceptable clothes are then taken for selling in the store. These items are generally in perfect condition and lightly used without any stains/damages/defects. The clothes are then priced at a fraction of their retail price. When a consignor's item(s) sell, he is able to receive the profit. Consignment differs from 'selling outright' where a seller brings his items in and receives immediate payment on review.

We have generated a list of highly influential biomedical researchers based on Scopus citation data from the period 1996-2011. Of the 15,153,100 author identifiers in Scopus, approximately 1% (n=149,655) have an h-index >=20. Of those, we selected 532 authors who belonged to the 400 with highest total citation count (>=25,142 citations) and/or the 400 with highest h-index (>=76). Of those, we selected the top-400 living core biomedical researchers based on a normalized score combining total citations and h-index. Another 62 authors whose focus is outside biomedicine had a normalized score that was at least as high as the score of the 400th core biomedical researcher. We provide information on the profile of these most influential authors, including the most common Medical Subject Heading terms in their articles that are also specific to their work, most common journals where they publish, number of papers with over 100 citations that they have published as first/single, last, or middle authors, and impact score adjusted for authorship positions, given that crude citation indices and authorship positions are almost totally orthogonal. We also show for each researcher the distribution of their papers across 4 main levels (basic-to-applied) of research. We discuss technical issues, limitations and caveats, comparisons against other lists of highly-cited researchers, and potential uses of this resource.

Apple intros FaceTime-capable iPod touch 4G
Apple today introduced its fourth-generation iPod touch, featuring a FaceTime-capable front-facing camera. The new touch also sports a new HD video recording rear-facing camera and microphone, the same Apple A4 chip that powers the iPhone 4, a 960x640 retina display, and a 3-axis gyroscope. Physically, the new iPod touch is thinner than its predecessors and features a slightly curved, flatter back, and a new speaker port near the Dock Connector. Notably, both the front- and rear-facing cameras will be capable of still photography, with the former capped at 640x480 resolution and the latter capped at 960x720. The devices will be available next week and will be priced at $229 for the 8GB model, $299 for the 32GB version, and $399 for the 64GB model.
Note that the fourth-generation iPod touch gains limited 802.11n support (2.4GHz only), like the iPhone 4, joining Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, and has a promised audio run time of 40 hours, versus 7 hours of video. H.264 and M-JPEG video codecs now support 1280x720-resolution 720p HD videos, as well as 1024x768 output via Apple's previously-released iPad VGA to Dock Connector Adapter. The device does not have GPS hardware and thus supports geo-tagging only when connected to a Wi-Fi network. FaceTime video calling is handled via a dedicated FaceTime application, with an icon that looks like a white camera on a green background.

Will Apple discontinue the iPod Touch 2G and 3G anytime soon?
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 1:56 PM (CDT)
64 GB is now the largest iPod available???? Way to go Apple! I dont know what you guys were thinkin.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 2:02 PM (CDT)
Interesting that there is no mention of a LED flash. Looks like they're saving it for next year. C'mon Apple, you know it made sense to include it the first time around.

Can I take pictures with the rear camera?
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 2:12 PM (CDT)
YAWWWWNNNN…..still an iPhone without the phone. And useless to me with no more than 64GB. Make a 180GB iPod touch and I'll consider it. But of course, it would cost $999 at the rate Apple charges for memory.

I was saving money for a new PC based laptop or a 100+ gig touch. I have been ready to buy a large gig touch for 2 years and once again no. Looks like Apple lost my money once again. My Classic is getting buggy mybe a DROID device of some type would be nice.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 2:26 PM (CDT)
Anyone notice they bumped the price back up to $229? I was really looking forward to spending my birthday money on a new touch; not anymore thanks to tax. Now I guess I'll just go with the new Nano. I really liked that $199 price point and I know many of my friends did as well.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 2:34 PM (CDT)
The only thing I hate about the new touch announcement is that it lacks the 5 mp rear camera iPhone 4 has. That is the only reason I won't purchase the new touch.

@Vito Villamor (#2): The older iPod touch models have been officially discontinued as of today, as previous years' models usually are. You'll still be able to purchase old stock and refurbished models from Apple at discounted prices, but the fourth-generation is now the iPod touch. Apple almost never keeps previous models on sale, and last year's continued sale of the second-generation iPod touch alongside the third-generation was an odd exception to that trend, and created quite a bit of confusion as a result when it came to things like iOS updates.
@Marcus Ussery (#3): It doesn't appear that Apple has actually discontinued the iPod classic yet. It's still available for sale on the Apple Store. They've merely not updated it this year, and this seems to be yet another sign that it's days are numbered.
@Luis (#5): Yes, but you'll only be getting 0.7 megapixel shots. The camera is clearly designed only for video, in much the same way the camera on last year's 5G nano was.

Well, guess I can buy a new kindle then. Was waiting for a 128 gig touch but since there Isn't one this year, amazon will get my money. Shame, I really wanted that 128 gig touch, my 64 gig is so full.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 3:07 PM (CDT)
#6: I'm right there with you. And this lacks not only the Phone, but also GPS. Why?
And with apparently no more Classic, it is a shame there isn't a 128GB iPod Touch (or iPad for that matter).
Apple keeps strengthening my position that the most complete mobile tech capability, that also minimizes the number of devices one has to carry, is a laptop plus an iPhone.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 4:06 PM (CDT)
I guess I will have to wait another year for the 128GB iPod Touch. I had my $400 all ready to buy one. Too bad for you Apple!
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 5:56 PM (CDT)
so what cases should fit this? it's thinner than the 3rd gen ipod touch, so those cases might fit with a little wiggle room in the back as long as everything else is in the same place. (cut a hole for the camera in the back?)
or is everything in the same place as an iphone 3Gs?
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 1, 2010 at 6:09 PM (CDT)
the still resoulation is crap, my dsi does that, id like just how good the HD videos will be and i hope the mic isnt as bad as the nanos was that thing was so crap, it made intermittent buzzing noises in quiet enviroments, and got really distored in loud enviroments, i solved that when i got earbuds with the mic in the remote (which i cant seem to find :( )
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 2, 2010 at 2:47 AM (CDT)
Add another vote of disappointment for the failure to bump the storage. I would have much more preferred they shape it like the iPhone 4 with the flat backside and double the storage. Instead they took a player that already felt ultra fragile and made it thinner.
Hope the competition took notice that the Classic didn't get an update. I got $300 waiting for a good 40GB player with graphic EQ.

@Farnsworth (#12): Apple seems to have little desire to include a GPS on non-3G capable devices as they're relying to heavily on AGPS, which uses cellular towers to assist with determining your location. Take out the SIM card from your iPhone or iPad 3G, turn off Wi-Fi and reboot it (to clear any cached location data) and then try using the GPS—you'll eventually get a lock, but it can take upwards of five minutes. I had a Nokia E90 years ago that oddly didn't use AGPS and when I tried to do turn-by-turn navigation with it I had to sit in my parking lot and wait 5-10 minutes for a lock before I could even start driving; once I was moving I could generally never get a lock. Not a great user experience, and probably something Apple wants to avoid putting users through.
As for minimizing number of devices, I've found that an iPad and an iPhone does it for me on a normal day. I still have a MacBook Air, but I only take that with me when I know I'm going to need to do serious work that requires a full computer (writing complex documents or spreadsheets, doing network analysis, etc).
@mike (#14): As with other new iPod releases, expect a whole new lineup of iPod touch 4G cases to hit the market soon. My guess is that iPhone cases will be extremely loose—the device is considerably thinner, and even the iPhone 4 didn't fit snugly in 3G/3GS cases.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 2, 2010 at 8:41 AM (CDT)
They wont add a phone to ipod touch as it would hear the sales of iPhone and this would show a rapid hike of price of iPod touch.
As in USA, phones are sold in contact and therefore looks that it is not at all too costly.
But, iPhones in many country's is sold at nearly $999, which is very costly.
Which worsens in Developing countries.
And an iPhone is an iPod Touch with a phone and some little extra features, which has a great difference with price
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 2, 2010 at 8:44 AM (CDT)
Jesse (#17), I think your first sentence helps make my point. A device with GPS and without telephony would *not* use AGPS, and therefore do not add strain to the cellular network.
As for your E90, you said it yourself, that was "years ago." GPS-equipped mobile phones have come a long way since then.
And Apple still hasn't been able to sell me an iPad. As I said about the Magic Trackpad, it's so "cool" that I wish I had a need for one… but I don't. To each their own.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 2, 2010 at 11:29 AM (CDT)
No 16 gig, No upgrade. (Do not need 32 and 8 is to small)
+ a nano that I can not watch podcasts on is useless.
A big step the wrong way.
(I will be looking into other options if they continue on this path)

Most recently Walker appeared on Broadway, where he received raves for his work in the irreverent musical, "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," in which he played a sexy, swearing, singing version of the President of the United States.
Now, perhaps carving a rather unique niche for himself, Walker will skew presidential history again, as he's been brought on board to play Abe Lincoln in Fox's "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Walker will be directed by Timur Bekmanbetov ("Wanted") in the big screen adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's 2010 novel of the same name, in which Honest Abe battles the bloodsuckers in the midst of the Civil War.
Vampires aside, the description of the role should be somewhat familiar territory for Walker, who beat out the likes of Eric Bana and Adrien Brody for the coveted part. THR reports that the movie "calls for the actor to play the famed president from the age of 20 to 55, from boyish and lanky to skilled fighter to middle-aged with trademarked beard." In "BBAJ," Walker portrayed Jackson from his childhood through to his presidency.
With the shoes of the 16th President now filled by Walker (who has previously appeared on the big screen in smaller parts in films such as "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Kinsey"), Fox will now further its search for who will play Henry Sturges, Lincoln's mentor in the art of vampire hunting. Tom Hardy was initially sought out by the studio, but has since signed on for "The Dark Knight Rises."
Does Benjamin Walker have your vote for "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter?"

The Culture of Ancient Israel
by Carl Heinrich Cornill
Indeed, what an astonishing wealth and variety of separate material is here ready at hand! The history of the people of Israel, in fact, shares with the common and many-sided life of humanity the eminent quality of being interesting at whatever point we may touch it. We may turn our attention to characters more particularly belonging to political history and we shall behold Saul, David, Ahab; or to the heroes of the soul, and we shall encounter Moses, Samuel, Elijah. We behold the ruin of the people as a political nation through Babylonian conquest, and the resurrection of the people as a religious sect through Ezra and Nehemiah. The ideal heroical figures of the early Maccabees justly awaken our admiration, and even their degenerate descendants, during the period of the people's decadence, are themselves not altogether destitute of a certain attraction. The truculent grandeur of a King Herod, and the appalling extermination of the nation by the Roman sword - the most heartrending catastrophe, perhaps, that history ever has witnessed - fitly close this grand historical panorama, in which on every side and at all times we are confronted by entrancing phenomena, arousing all our interest.
The Institutions, Manners and Customs of the Ancient Nations
by François Sabbathier
Vol. 2
The name of Germans was not the ancient and primitive name of this people. It was given them by the Gauls, who inhabited the country hear the left coast of the Rhine, and who having felt the effects of their valour, expressed, by this appellation, the terror with which they had been struck by these men of war. - For that is the signification of the word German. The conquerors adopted a name which redounded so much to their glory; and by the Romans, who took it from the Gauls, the use of it was confirmed: and it has been famous for many ages.
Hand-Book of Bible Manners and Customs
by James M. Freeman
The Hand-Book of Bible Manners and Customs by James M. Freeman is intended to be a companion piece for readers of The Bible, essentially a "dictionary of things" mentioned in the holy book. Freeman comments that The Bible was written at a specific time and place, and thus makes reference to specific items and customs that are largely unfamiliar to the modern reader, particularly one who lives in the western world. In his introduction, the author comments, "The Bible becomes more than ever a real book when we can read it understandingly." James Freeman's goal in this handbook is thus to detail all unfamiliar references so the modern reader can begin to grasp the teachings of The Bible without wrestling with misunderstandings. Freeman's approach is almost overwhelmingly thorough. The author goes through The Bible, book by book, verse by verse, and highlights any unfamiliar term. These terms, be they customs, objects, or cultural references, are then explained in detail. A typical entry reads like the following: Ezekiel, XVI, 4 – Babes Salted "In ancient times new-born babes were rubbed with salt in order to harden their skin, as this operation was supposed to make it dry, tight, and firm. Galen mentions the practice, and it is also referred to by Jerome in his commentary on this passage. The salt may also have been applied as an emblem of purity and incorruption." This is only one of the nearly 900 entries that appear in this manual. Detailed indexes conclude this manual, so Bible readers perplexed by a term or reference can easily look up an explanation in this document. This Hand-Book of Bible Manners and Customs is one of the most extensive companion pieces to The Bible you will ever find. If one is interested in reading The Bible and gaining a deeper understanding, there is perhaps no better text to have open alongside the holy book than this one.
Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies
by Abbe J. A. Dubois
It is difficult to believe that the Abb 6 Dubois, the author of Mceurs, Institutions et Ceremonies des Peuples de I Inde, died only in 1848. By his position as a scholar and as a student of Indian subjects, he really belongs to a period previous to the revival of Sanskrit studies in India, as inaugurated by Wilkins, Sir WiUiam Jones, and Colebrooke. I had no idea, when in 1846 I was attending in Paris the lectures of Eugene Burnouf at the College de France, that the old Abbe was still living and in full activity as Directeur des Missions Etrangeres, and I doubt whether even Burnouf himself was aware of his existence in Paris. The Abbe belongs really to the eighteenth century, but as there is much to be learnt even from such men as Roberto de Nobili, who went to India in 1606, from H.Roth, who was much consulted by Kircher in his China Illustrata (1667), and others, so again the eighteenth century was by no means devoid of eminent students of Sanskrit, of Indian religion, and Indian subjects in general. It is true that in our days their observations and researches possess chiefly a historical interest, but they are by no means to be neglected.

The Sun and the Serpent
A Contribution to the History of Serpent-Worship
by C. F. Oldham
This work, which is based upon papers read before the Royal Asiatic Society in 1901, was, at first, intended to refer only to Indian Serpent-worship. It was soon found, however, that the Serpent-worship of India did not originate in that country, but was, in fact, a branch of the worship of the Sun and the Serpent, which was once well-nigh universal. It became evident, therefore, that a history of the Indian cult would go far to explain the nature and origin of serpent-worship, in other countries and in other times.

It will be seen that some of the views, expressed in this volume, differ from those which have been held by some Oriental scholars of great eminence. These views, however, have not been put forward without due consideration. They are the result of much reflection, observation, and inquiry, combined with a careful study of local tradition and folk-lore.
Woman's Share in Primitive Culture
by Otis Tufton Mason
The word Anthropology in its broadest meaning includes several subordinate sciences, such as Somatology or Physical Anthropology, Ethnology, Ethnography, Prehistoric Archaeology, and Culture History. In the Anthropological Series, of which this is the first volume, it is planned to publish books dealing with special topics in these various fields. The work is undertaken in the hope that through this series the grandest and newest of all the sciences, Anthropology - the science of man - may become better known to intelligent readers who are not specialists and who do not desire to become such. At the same time the series will be one which no special student can afford to ignore.

For, while the works are intended to be of general interest, they will in every case be written by authorities, and scientific accuracy will never be sacrificed to popularity. Leaders in anthropological study in America and Europe have expressed an interest in the undertaking and have promised their co-operation. Besides books expressly written for the series by workers in the Old World and the New, the plan includes translations of valuable works from the French and German.

The editor is particularly glad that the series begins with this book by Professor Mason upon Woman's Share in Primitive Culture. In many minds it will awaken new thoughts.
Nature and Culture
by Harvey Rice
Nature declares herself in her works. What exists beyond her domain, if any thing, becomes necessarily a matter of faith or imagination; and yet the origin of the material universe presents a problem which neither the vagaries of the ancients nor the speculations of the moderns have been able to solve in a satisfactory manner.

In modern methods of logic, we reason from cause to effect, from the known to the unknown; but in attempting to penetrate the region of the unknown; we are often left without a reliable guide. Analogy may aid, but cannot assure us. The powers of the human mind, if not infinite, may admit of infinite culture. What is supposed to be "unknowable" may therefore become known. However this may be, there is no divine injunction which prescribes a limit to human possibilities.
Agastya in the Tamil Land
by K. N. Sivaraja Pillai
No tradition is so widespread throughout the length and breadth of the Tamil country as that concerning sage Agastya and his numerous exploits. Of all the mythic, semi-historic and historic personages of the Aiyan annals, who have figured in South Indian History, Agastya has occupied the foremost place and secured the largest homage of the cultured and the masses alike. He meets us from the very start of Aryan History, being a composer of certain hymns of the earliest of the Vedas, the Rg Veda. Still he seems to have been not included amongst the seven holy sages, the Prajāpatis, or the progenitors of the human race. These were Gotama, Bharadwaja, Viswamitra Jamadagni, Vasistha, Kasyapa and Atri. Even later Puranas, like the Vāyu and the Visnu, which have amplified the list of the primitive sages by including Bhrgu and Daksa, have only quietly passed Agastya over. This circumstance may lend some colour of support to the doubt whether Agastya is not after all the sage of a later day. However that be, posterity has made ample amends for this omission by raising him to a still higher position and assigning him a place among the Stars. The Star Canopus, which sheds its brilliance in the Southern heavens, is believed to be none other than the austere Sage Agastya, the semi-divine benefactor of the human race, who has been thus honoured by a grateful posterity.
The Viking Age
The Early History Manners, and Customs of the Ancestors of the English-Speaking Nations, Illustrating from the Antiquities Discovered in Mounds, Cairns, and Bogs As Well As from the Ancient Sagas and Eddas
by Paul B. du Chaillu
Vol. 1 of 2
European nations, I have often asked myself the following questions: How is it that over every region of the globe the spread of the English-speaking people and of their language far exceeds that of all the other European nations combined? Why is it that, wherever the English-speaking people have settled, or are at this day found, even in small numbers, they are far more energetic, daring, adventurous, and prosperous, and understand the art of self-government and of ruling alien peoples far better than other colonising nations? Whence do the English-speaking communities derive the remarkable energy they possess; for the people of Britain when invaded by the Romans did not show any such quality? What are the causes which have made the English such a pre-eminently seafaring people? for without such a characteristic they could not have been the founders of so many states and colonies speaking the English tongue! In studying the history of the world we find that all the nations which have risen to high power and widespread dominion have been founded by men endowed with great, I may say terrible, energy; extreme bravery and the love of conquest being the most prominent traits of their character. The mighty sword with all its evils has thus far always proved a great engine of civilisation. To get a satisfactory answer to the above questions we must go far back, and study the history of the race who settled in Britain during and after the Roman occupation.
The Viking Age
The Early History, Manners, and Customs of the Ancestors of the English-Speaking Nations

Vol. 2 of 2
High position of women Married womens pnjperty Marriage a civil compact The suitor Qualities looked for in a suitor The brides dower Runaway marriages The marriage settlement The givers away of the bride The betrothal Breaking a betrothal Length of a betrothal The wedding The trousseau Illegality of marriages without betrothal Guardians of unmarried sisters Marriage against the will of the pareats Age of majority Widows Marriage on insufhcient means Laws relating to marriage The wedding feast Valuation of property Laws on kissing Womens rights. It is particularly striking, in reading the Sagas and the ancient laws which corroborate them, to see the high position women occupied in earlier and later pagan times. If we are to judge of the civilisation of a people in their daily life by the position women held with regard to men, we must conclude that in this respect the earlier Norse tribes could compare favourably with the most ancient civilised nations whose history has come down to us. A maiden was highly respected, and on becoming a wife she was greatly honoured, and her counsels had great weight; by marrying she became the companion and not the inferior of her husband. She held property in her own right, whatever she received by inheritance and by marriage being her own; though there were restrictions put upon her, as well as upon her husband, in regard to the use of her property. In a word, a retrograde movement in regard to the rights and standing of women took place after the extinction of the Asa creed. The high position they had occupied before was lost, and it is only latterly that they have striven, and in some countries with sViccess, to regain tlie authority that once belonged to them in regard to property and other matters.

Modern Manners and Social Forms
A Manual of the Manners and Customs of the Best Modern Society, Compiled from the Latest Authorities; And Also Including the Forms for Invitations, and Social and Business Letters and Notes of Various Kinds
by Mrs. Julia M. Bradley
So essential are these observances that Mrs. H.O. Ward truthfully says, that if any thoughf ul person of refined nature was asked, Which individual do you find most essential to your enjoyment of society the wit, the man of genius or talent, whose manners are bad, or the man wanting in wit, wanting in talent even, whose manners are faultless? but would answer, If I cannot have a society where both wit and good manners are found, I will dispense with the wit, for good manners I must have. Another writer says: Those who defy the rules of the best society, and claim to be superior to them, are always coarse in their moral fibre, however strong they may be intellectually, a sentiment we most heartily endorse. In no other country, probably, are so many people anxiously inquiring, What are the requirements of good society? and when once the correct form is known there is a genuine desire to conform to it. It was in the hope of helping these earnest inquirers that this work was undertaken. In the constant daily intercourse of people, in city and country, it is very important that they should understand those customs and observances which will enable the different social units to mingle together pleasantly and without needless friction. The foundation and support of all our social laws is that they tend to add materially to the happiness and comfort of those who associate together. Acts of attention and kindness to others not only increase their happiness, but they also ennoble the doer.
The Mind of Primitive Man
by Franz Boas
The problem discussed in the following pages has occupied my attention for many years, and I have at various times dealt with it in brief essays. Some of these, in revised form and enlarged, are embodied in the present volume: -

Human Faculty as determined by Race (Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, vol. xliii [1894], pp. 301-327).

The Limitations of the Comparative Method of Anthropology (Science, N. S., vol. iv [1896], pp. 901-908).

The Mind of Primitive Man (Journal of American Folk-Lore, vol. xiv [1901], pp. 1-11).

Some Traits of Primitive Culture (Ibid., vol. xvii [1904], pp. 243-254).

Race Problems in America (Science, N. S., vol. xxix [1909], pp. 839-849).

Psychological Problems in Anthropology (American Journal of Psychology, vol. xxi [1910], pp. 371-384).
The Natural History of Society in the Barbarous and Civilized State
An Essay Towards Discovering the Origin and Course of Human Improvement
by W. Cooke Taylor
Vol. 1
This work was suggested by the archbishop of Dublin, and it has had throughout the benefit of his grace's assistance and superintendence. It is necessary that this should be emphatically stated, in order that the author may escape the imputation of presumption in discussing a subject to which his grace had already directed his attention in his Lectures on Political Economy. He would not have attempted "to bend the bow of Ulysses," had he not been invited to the task by its legitimate owner, and taught by him how to draw the string and aim the shaft. His grace, however, is not responsible for more than general directions; he has strong claims on the merits of the work, but all its imperfections rest on the author's head.

The design of it is to determine, from an examination of the various forms in which society has been found, what was the origin of civilization; and under what circumstances those attributes of humanity which in one country become the foundation of social happiness, are in another perverted to the production of general misery.
Military Manners and Customs
by James Anson Farrer
In the present volume I have attempted within the limits of the historical period and of our European civilisation, and without recognising any hard and fast line between ancient and modern, Christian and Pagan, to allude, in the places that seemed most appropriate, to all points in the history of war that appeared to be either of special interest or of essential importance. As examples of such points I may refer to the treatment of prisoners of war, or of surrendered garrisons; the rules about spies and surprises; the introduction of, and feeling about, new weapons; the meaning of parts of military dress; the origin of peculiar customs like the old one of kissing the earth before a charge; the prevalent rules of honour, as displayed in notions of justice in regard to reprisals, or of fairness in stratagems and deception. The necessity of observing in so vast a field the laws of proportion has enforced resort to such condensation, that on subjects which deserve or possess their tomes upon tomes, I have in many cases been unable to spend more than a page or a chapter.
Primitive Man
by Edward Clodd
The possible existence of other materials throwing light on remote ages in which man had played a part ages about which history was either silent, or recorded only myths and legends was but here and there recognised. Apropos of antiquarian research, Boswell reports Johnson as saying: All that is really known of the ancient state of Britain is contained in a few pages. We can know no more than what the old writers have told us. That remark gauges the high-water level reached a little more than a century ago. And yet the evidence which Dr. Johnson declared non-existent was beneath the soil of his beloved London.
The Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians
by John Gardner Wilkinson
Vol. 1 of 3
In order to form an accurate opinion of the manners of an ancient people, it is of paramount importance to inquire into their origin and history, and to trace the progress of those steps which gradually led to their improvement and civilisation. To judge impartially of their character, we must examine the comparative state of other neighbouring and contemporary nations, and measure it by the standard of the era in which they lived. We should also bear in mind the general habits of that portion of the globe whence they derived their origin, or which they inhabited, and, in contemplating the customs of an Eastern people, avoid as much as possible the invidious comparison of European and Oriental manners. Many of those laws or customs which are wise and beneficial to society in one part of the world are deemed superfluous, and even injurious, in another; and the same system which by some is looked upon as indispensable for their welfare and happiness, would be rejected by others as incompatible with the feelings of an independent spirit. The necessity of discrimination on this jK)int must, therefore, be evident to every one who considers the subject with a view to truth and impartiality; and, in order to enable the reader to form a just opinion of the character of the Egyptians, I commence the present work with a brief account of the general history and early advancement of that ancient state. But if, as must necessarily be the case, this account is deficient and unsatisfiEUtory, I plead as my excuse the scanty means of information afforded either by the writers of antiquity or by monumental record; and trust that the reader will indulgently consider the difficulties which present themselves in so intricate a question.
A Man's Value to Society
Studies in Self-Culture and Character
by Newell Dwight Hillis
There is nothing that makes men rich and strong but that which they carry inside of them. Wealth is of the heart, not of the hand. John Milton. Until we know why the rose is sweet or the dew drop pure, or the rainbow beautiful, we cannot know why the poet is the best benefactor of society. The soldier fights for his native land, but the poet touches that land with the charm that makes it worth fighting for and fires the warriors heart with energy invincible. The statesman enlarges and or ders liberty in the state, but the poet fosters the core of liberty in the heart of the citizen. The inventor multiplies the facilities of life, but the poet makes life better worth living. George Wm. Curtis. Not all men are of equal value. Not many Platos: only one, to whom a thousand lesser minds look up and learn to think. Not many Dantes: one, and a thousand poets tune their harps to his and repeat his notes. Not many Raphaels: one, and no second. But a thousand lesser artists looking up to him are lifted to his level. Not many royal hearts great maga zines of kindness. Happy the town blessed with a few great minds and a few great hearts. One such citizen will civilize an entire community. H.
The History of Sudbury, Massachusetts
by Alfred Sereno Hudson
In submitting this volume to the public, we do not expect to be so fortunate as to have avoided all mistakes. We hope, however, that it contains as few as could be expected in a work relating to so broad a field of facts and so long a period of time. The following statements concerning the general plan of the work may assist the reader to a fairer estimate of its merits. The primary object of the writer has been to present the annals or general history of Sudbury. The age of the town, its importance and prominence in the past, and the fullness of its records have left no room for complete genealogies, and partial sketches of families or individuals have been given only so far as pertains to the general design of the work. The second object has been to make the book readable. If a local history is to be read it must be more than a collection of statistics, or quotations from records, or a compilation of facts given apart from their relation to each other or to events in the country at large. To accomplish the second object, whenever local events have been connected with general history, we have taken the space for the latter which we considered essential to show this connection, and thus to broaden the view of the reader and add interest to the subject.
History of the Orkney Islands
by George Barry
In fubmhtlng this fecond Edition of Dr. Barrys Hiftory of the Orkney Iflands to the public infpedion, the Editor is aware, that, if he could offer an account of a Terra aujlralis bicogu tta, curiofity would be excited, and the book would be perufed with avidity. He is aware that a cluflcr of Iflands, which, with a fair wind, are only three or four days fail from the capital of the Empire, cannot excite that interefl: from their novelty, which we would take in the defcription of places inhabited by favages ;where volcanos vomited forth fubterranean fires; where the traveller, at every ftcp, encountered ftrange minerals, plants, and animals; and which could not be reached without the circumnavigation of the globe. In fuch cafes, the difficulties furmounted, and the dangers incurred while obtaining information, render the adventures of the hiftorian more interefting, than cither the utility or importance of the information he conveys. Although our author has kept out of view his own adventures, while employed in coUeding the information he exhibits, we are not to fuppofe,, that fuch a work could be drawn up in the clofet, amidft the calm of learned retirement. Our Author mud often have croffed the rapid founds which interfcd thefe Iflands, where the tides run like torrents defcending from the fides of mountains; and, when they encounter a ftrong wind, raife commotions which would appal any perfon but the native iflanders. Often muft he have grappled with the mountain billows of the Atlantic, and of the Northern Ocean, and, when he reached land, fubmitted to accommodations or rather privations, which would fcare the inhabitants of diftrids more populous and better cultivated.
History of Wicken
by Maria Knowles
But having received from one, who has passed away to a better and brighter land than this Fenland plain notes sent in all kindness to beguile the weariness and monotony of a life of restricted opportunities the duty of bringing such efforts to fruition has assumed somewhat the proportions of a sacred trust. At any rate the writer asks the favour of the indulgent reader to overlook whatever there may lack in the form of literary construction, c.
The Horses of the Sahara and the Manners of the Desert
by E. Daumas
In this English version of General Daumas justly eulogised work on the Horses of the Sahara and the Manners of the Desert, two or three entire chapters, besides many isolated passages, have been omitted, which treated either of veterinary science or of matters little suited to the taste of general readers in this country. Part the second, which was so strangely overlooked by the critics of the last French edition, wdll be found extremely interesting to all who love the cliace and can appreciate a life of adventure. The description of the sports and pastimes, the manners and customs of the aristocracy of the African Desert, is especially worthy of perusal; nor will the quaint remarks of the once famous Emir Abd-el-Kader fail to command very general respect and sympathy.
Traditions Its Freemasonry
And Its Coincidences With the Ancient Mysteries
by A. T. C. Pierson
It is recorded of an ancient author, that while apologizing for the imperfections of one of his books, he was interrupted by the inquiry, "Who asked you to write it?" A similar question might be propounded with reference to the following pages; as also, Where was the material obtained? and why is it published? It is proposed briefly to reply to such queries.

In a varied and somewhat extensive masonic experience of twenty years and upward, the writer has been in the habit of amplifying the received lectures in explanation of the ceremonies of the different degrees, and in elucidation of the symbols used, in order more fully to comply with the first desire expressed by every Mason whom he has had the honor to initiate. Old and young have frequently urged that some of those explications should be put on paper that they might become accessible to all. The catechetical rituals now in use are meagre and barren, containing no allusion to some truths which are the very foundation of the system - truths which were first taught in, and then preserved by, and disseminated through the mystic associations of men - truths which all men who love God, their country and their fellow-men must appreciate.

Among the questions and answers in the old rituals were the following: "What is Freemasonry? The science of sciences.
The Intellectual Life
by Philip Gilbert Hamerton
We have shared togethef many hours of study, and you vy have been willing, at the cost of much patient labour, to cheer the difficult paths of intellectual toil by the unfailing sweetness of your beloved companionship. It seems to me that all those things which we have learned together are doubly my own; whilst those other studies which I have pursued in solitude have never yielded me more than a maimed and imperfect satisfaction. The dream of my life would be to associate you with all I do if that were possible; but since the ideal can never be wholly realized, let me at least rejoice that we have been so little separated, and that the subtle influence of your finer taste and more delicate perception is ever, like some penetrating perfume, i Bthe whole atmosphere around me.

"mundane IT to the cloud as possible, gives him "incredible focus" for initiatives that truly impact Google's business" like spreading their Android social disease that invades privacy and tracks a users every movement.
Interesting article, but regarding the bikes you mean 'campus in Mountain View,' not 'campus in Menlo Park.' Google doesn't have a campus in Menlo Park.
Google is today's virus in mobile space. An evil lurking in your device.
Concern with an internet power grab should galvanize every Senator and Representative to action:
1) understand that freedoms of speech, assembly, from warantless search and other fundamental human rights are at stake. 2) the UN has no standing to enforce those rights as currently constituted.
Read your pocket Bill of Rights and take the libertarian position. That goes for both parties.

Cody is one of the two "Final Fight" coin-op brawlers who appear in "Super Street Fighter 4." Despite his advanced age (his knees seem fine now, FYI), Cody can still brawl with the best, able to knock down even the mighty Zangief with his signature Criminal Upper special attack. Just don't expect to do the same against the similarly muscled Hagar — dude still hasn't appeared in a "Street Fighter" game for whatever reason.
Move Key
Forward [F] Back [B] Down Back [DB] Down Forward [DF] Up [U]
Quarter Circle [90] Back Quarter Circle [-90] Forward Half-Circle [180] Back Half-Circle [-180] Full Circle [360]
Special Moves
Bad Stone – Motion [D] [90] + Punch (not possible when holding knife, hold Punch for increased power)
Criminal Upper – Motion [D] [-90] Ruffian Kick – Motion [D] [90] + Kick
Zonk Knuckle – Punch (charge and release)
Super Combo
Dead End Irony – Motion [D] [90] Motion [D] 90 + Kick
Ultra Combo
Final Destruction – Motion [D] [90] Motion [D] [90] + Punch Punch Punch
Last Dread Dust – Motion [D] [-90] Motion [D] [-90] + Punch Punch Punch
Cody, a "Final Fight" veteran turned "Street Fighter" brawler, rues his part in ridding Metro City of its gangs and mad men. It's easy to sympathize. In exchange for his vigilance the city slammed iron shackles onto his wrists. Strangely, Cody doesn't have plans to re-establish his heroic identity in the "Street Fighter" tournament. He only wants a shot at Guy, his former partner and fighting antithesis.
Cody possesses superb strength and a diverse range of simple moves. He also has one of the most unique attacks in the game: he can pick up a knife from the floor of the arena and shred opponents.
Be mindful of Cody's air and speed handicaps (use Ruffian Kick to knock high-fliers to the floor) and always capitalize on his "hold" moves. The most important ones, his Zonk Knuckle (a charged punch) and Bad Stone, are great surprise or change of pace attacks that can put the screws to unsuspecting opponents, leaving them open to a variety of follow-up combinations. Remember the knife: it changes his basic attacks and morphs Bad Stone from a slow, arcing projectile attack into a quick, health-depleting knife toss.
But above all, don't be afraid to rotate moves and pin opponents. Cody seems limited in his list, but he's a solid "poke"-man and a strong brawler.
Need information on other new characters? Stay tuned. Over the next few days we'll do more guides on the rest of the fresh entrants in "Super Street Fighter 4."
