It may be due to the year you were born or the fact that you drove a white BMW and loved Gap khakis a little too much back in the '80s, but, whatever the reason, you've been packaged and labeled.
If you entered the world in 1966, you're a Gen X-er. If you came of age during the Great Depression and World War II, Tom Brokaw was kind enough to deem you a member of "The Greatest Generation." If you lived in an urban loft, pulled down a six-figure salary, had 25 pastel Izods and boasted a swanky college pedigree during the Reagan years, you were a yuppie.
But, if you were in high school or college when radical Islamic terrorists attacked America on Sept. 11, 2001, are you Generation 9/11?
Dr. Patricia Somers, an associate professor in The University of Texas at Austin's College of Education, is intrigued by that question and has decided to go to the source for some answers. Currently in the first stage of a planned five-year series of studies, Somers and her research colleagues have surveyed about 50 students at colleges and universities in the Midwest to gather preliminary data on student responses to the most deadly attack on U.S. soil in more than 300 years.
"I study higher education, specifically college students," says Somers, who is in the Department of Educational Administration, "and have become very interested in how university students may have reacted differently from other populations to the events of 9/11.
"This preliminary, exploratory study examines both the direct and indirect effects of 9/11 on students at two-year, four-year, residential and non-residential colleges. Significant shifts in college students' attitudes will have an effect on the future—politics, economics and social policy—so what we're looking for are trends and to see if there's any evidence of an emerging 'Generation 9/11.'"
As a theoretical framework for the study, the researchers chose terror management theory (TMT), a relatively new system of principles that was first used to analyze Americans' psychological response to the Sept. 11 attacks.
"Terror management theory states that when humans are faced with their own mortality by random acts of terror, they respond in ways that show their lives have meaning and purpose," says Somers.
According to TMT, immediately following 9/11 most Americans shared similar reactions to the catastrophe. The first reaction was shock and disbelief, or an inability to absorb the reality of an attack on an American city. The second was the search for some sort of distraction that would take their minds off the event and the third tendency was to withdraw from society and take actions to protect themselves should more attacks occur.
Somers' interviews at five universities revealed that students did share some of the same reactions as the general population. About 65 percent of all students interviewed reported feeling shock as a primary response to the terrorist attacks, with one student stating, "I just couldn't think…it was all kind of blank at that point, and I went into the bathroom and threw some water on my face and didn't even talk to anybody."
Mirroring the disbelief of the rest of the nation, one interviewee said, "I thought it was a joke—the stupid radio program and people thinking they were really funny. I seriously felt like it was Orson Wells' 'War of the Worlds' or something."
Although most students who were interviewed did not report engaging in efforts to escape coverage and reminders of the event, about 40 percent did recall feeling an overwhelming desire to be with their families and 45 percent said that they felt a strong urge to be "part of a community." Some sought out the religious community or gained comfort from attending candlelight vigils, while others banded with fraternity brothers, residents of their dorms or at a friend's apartment for prolonged stretches of time.
"I remember that night everyone—all the Maryland students and all of the D.C. students—just wanting to talk to each other," said one student who was interviewed. Another vividly recalls her very frightened friend calling to tell her about the first plane hitting the World Trade Center, and she remembers responding, "Maybe we need to get together to say goodbye. Maybe this is the end…."
According to Somers and her colleagues, the "huddling" impulses that students felt and acted upon did not fit the predictions of terror management theory. Neither did the direct reaction of anger toward the U.S. government and the media that 45 percent of students reported feeling.
Related to this anger was a direct response of fear for others' safety. About 33 percent of the students who were interviewed stated that they were afraid retaliation would needlessly claim more innocent American lives and members of the American Muslim community would suffer a backlash.
"I was so scared because I knew that from then on, no Muslim or anyone who looked like they could possibly be Muslim would ever be the same again," stated one student who was interviewed.
In addition to the direct and immediate responses of shock and confusion, terror management theory also asserts that people experience a distal, or delayed and indirect, reaction to terrorism. When Somers and her colleagues asked students about indirect responses, they instructed the interviewees to focus on the six months following the catastrophe.
With the 9/11 tragedy, TMT analysts found that in the weeks and months following the attacks, most Americans actively searched for information that would help them understand the catastrophe and make sense of a chaotic and dangerous world. Statistics show that Bible sales increased after the attacks, for example, and religious service attendance increased as people sought answers.
Americans also experienced a surge in patriotism, and the evidence of this allegiance was very visible. Sales of flags skyrocketed and flag images were displayed on everything from shirts and hats to homes and vehicles. Patriotism pushed President Bush's ratings to an all-time high, and strong support for members of the military was voiced.
TMT analysts found that many Americans felt much less tolerance for free speech in the months after 9/11 and that an increased level of censorship prevailed along with an increase in bigotry. Newspapers were filled with accounts of hate crimes against Americans of Arab descent and mosques from coast to coast were vandalized.
"So how closely did our college students reflect the distal responses of the general population? It was very interesting," states Somers. "Around 50 percent of the students at three of the five institutions said they felt an increased sense of patriotism, and about 65 percent definitely expressed a desire to gather more information in the weeks and months after 9/11.
"Some students reported watching CNN all day and doing their homework a lot less, and at the one public research university that was surveyed there was increased enrollment in world politics and religion courses and signs of a greater level of interest in international and national news. But with the distal responses, we also started seeing some trends that were not predicted by terror management theory."
Although a majority of students experienced feelings of nationalism, Somers and her colleagues found that the mindset of many could more accurately be described as "skeptical patriotism." An overwhelming 80 percent of the students surveyed at the intellectually elite public research university hastened to define patriotism in a way that distinguished loyalty from pride in America.
One student commented, "I think patriotism blinds people to what's really going on," while many were repulsed by the songs calling for retaliation and the "cheering for America as if it were a football team." Some noted that the superficial, widespread visible signs of patriotism were "hypocritical and false," while others were concerned that Americans had stopped viewing the U.S. government's actions objectively and were following the emotional tide, "waving a flag."
In addition to revealing skeptical patriotism, students who were interviewed also differed from the population discussed in TMT literature in their increased global awareness, heightened political awareness and desire for more civic engagement.
About 47 percent of all students interviewed stated that they felt a greater interest in the global community post-9/11 and, although only two respondents reported changing their political views as a result of the terrorist attacks, most stated that the attacks intensified their existing political views.
One student commented, "I'm a liberal, I've always been a liberal and Sept. 11 did not make me any less of a liberal. It may even have made me more of an activist about it." Another student at the other end of the political spectrum but with the same inclination said, "It [9/11] put foreign policy and foreign affairs at the forefront of what I cared about, politically speaking—it might have made me stronger as a conservative Republican."
Perhaps most striking was the number of students who could point to specific actions they had taken to become more civically involved and contribute to the community at large. About one third of the interviewees reported increased levels of civic engagement after 9/11.
One student organized a campus forum called "Patriotism, Can It Lead to Hate?" and stated, "I remember that from then on, I always tried to think about the other side of the story." Others participated in community events that related to diversity and encouraged open dialogue or joined social justice-oriented organizations. About 20 percent of the students said that they were altering their academic or career path because of the terrorist attacks.
"Although we're just beginning our studies, there does seem to be some evidence of the emergence of a more civically inclined, altruistic generation that takes a world view and will be better-equipped to deal with global politics and a world economy," says Somers. "We're continuing our research and will begin interviews for the second part of our study in the spring, along with further analysis by gender and ethnicity of our current data."
Whether today's young adults will march through history with the badge "Generation 9/11" has yet to be seen. Civic-mindedness may be short-lived and interest in global affairs may subside.

Now Foods White Chia Seed is Great for "De-bloating" and Cleansing as well as Pudding Making!
Posted by mirindalikethedrink on Oct 30, 2013
Ch-ch-ch-chia! Sorry! I couldn't resist. I think if you buy chia you've got to want to buy chia. Most people wouldn't ever just stumble upon a bag of chia and be like, "Yum! I'm gonna buy and eat that." However, I do think that everyone should try it! Now Foods has unbeatable prices for most products, including white chia seed. We use this to make puddings. It's great for "debloating" and cleansing the body and nourishing the body and that's what we use it for.

yeah just chia!
Good speedy delivery + good product

Bugs n Dirt
Posted by 5655905921332876836 on Oct 11, 2013
I bought a bag of these a couple months ago and they were great! When I ran out, I bought another bag....and didn't even realize until looking through my purchase history that they actually were from the same company. This second bag had tons of stems and pieces of dirt in it. I transferred the seeds to 2 different airtight containers right away....and today found that both were full of tiny tiny bugs crawling through them. None of my other containers have any bugs, so I think the bag must of been contaminated. I had to throw all the remaining seeds out :-( Watch out!
Dirty chias
Posted by Jaaniin on Oct 05, 2013
It had so much dirt in it that you don´t want to eat it. I really hope that it was just this packet. There was some kind of mud, could see it, feel it and even taste it. It´s dirtyest chias we have ever seen. I did send mail to Now foods about this product.

Gas prices are about $1.50 a gallon cheaper than they were this time last year.
In September 2008 the average price of regular gas in our state was $3.88. Today the average is $2.36.
Some people say the lower prices mean hundreds of dollars a month that they're not spending on gas.
A year ago the national average gas price was $3.60. Today it's $2.49, up about 65-cents a gallon since the beginning of 2009.

An Analytical Approach for Performance Analysis of Handoffs in the Next Generation Integrated Cellular Networks and WLANs
The main feature of the next generation wireless communication systems is the ability to establish ubiquitous and seamless access to various Radio Access Technologies (RATs) and standards. For this reason the integration of cellular and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and performance evaluation of the interaction between these technologies is now an important research area. Modeling such systems for performance evaluation is essential to improve the architecture according to the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements and performance characteristics. In this paper, an analytical model for performance evaluation of an integrated cellular network and a WLAN is considered. WLAN is deployed inside of the cellular network to support handoffs between cellular networks with higher bandwidth.

In the third novel in King's epic fantasy masterpiece, Roland, the Last Gunslinger, is moving ever closer to the Dark Tower, which haunts his dreams and nightmares. Pursued by the Ageless Stranger, he and his friends follow the perilous path to Lud, an urban wasteland. And crossing a desert of damnation in this macabre new world, revelations begin to unfold about who - and what - is driving him forward.
A blend of riveting action and powerful drama, The Waste Lands leaves readers breathlessly awaiting the next chapter.
About the Author
'At the age of 19 Stephen decided he would like to write an epic similar to The Lord of the Rings. The 'spaghetti Westerns' of that time [specifically The Good, the Bad and the Ugly] and a poem written by Robert Browning, 'Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came', became the inspiration for his magnum opus. The series written and published separately over a period of 22 years consists of seven books and the short story, 'The Little Sisters of Eluria' published in his short story collection, EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL.'

I have a Huawei R201 MiFi connected to the internet, and I'd like to use its internet connection even from devices that don't have WiFi, so I grabbed a wireless router I had lying around and configured WDS so that it'd connect to the MiFi, and this is working nicely (I can ping the MiFi from the router web interface).
The next step was connecting my PC to the router via ethernet cable, but now I'm stuck... The PC can ping the router, but not the MiFi (they're all on the same subnet). Since the router can ping the MiFi, I guess this is some kind of routing issue? Should I get a more "flexible" router, such as one with DD-WRT maybe? Is what I'm trying to do even possible?
(For the record the PC is running Lubuntu 11.10)

Hey here is a suggestion make a SSTO the size of a 787 that uses a Sabre engine
Sabre engine?
Yea it an amazing its as if an air breathing rocket and a get engine had a kid
here is the link to the engine
here is the link to the engine
I like the look of the larger rocket, but aren't you tempting fate by calling it the 'Jupiter III'?
Possitive spirit and it sounded right. That being said another name might have been more fitting but even so...
That space shuttle looks awesome, and I love the idea of a UN space agency. Do you plan on making more of these in the future?
I might in the future but at the moment I do have a few other projects which deserve attention
Cool concept Manos, I'd be interested to see what sort of coupling/detachment mechanism is used for the shuttle to successfully perch on that big arse rocket.
It will be quite similar to the Hermes concept
Quite an impressive looking machine you've got there
thanks it will be able to carry a much heavier payload the the original saturn V rockets
Now that's one hell of a firecracker Nice work mate. Mankind could achieve spectacular goals in space if such a heavy booster was actually available.
You did some excellent designwork here, especially on the Hermes derived shuttle configuration. Makes sense in several ways. Mooi ontwerp man.

Very very cool!
I'm showing this to my dad. He'll get a kick out of it. He's a senior engineer at NASA, and they are working on a new launch vehicle, due in 2017, so you never know, this might inspire some of them!
A new launch vehicle? That sounds great! is it by any change similar to the Ares I? And they (NASA) inspire me I hope one day we will once again go back to the Moon and beyond.
Well, right now it's planned to be just a single vehicle, not with a separate cargo vehicle. And there are plans for a moon base, and eventually a space station to use as a launch platform for manned flights to Mars. But that's a ways down the road. I live in Huntsville, AL, so me and my brother went to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center quite a bit as kids. And now my kids love it.
Let's hope it will eventually happen but that is something for a distant future It sure sounds nice to live near such in inspiring place. The only space orientated facility nearby is a major R&D center for ESA called ESA Noordwijk.
It is a fun place to visit. For a while they had a huge Star Wars exhibit that showed modernized representations of some of the technology shown in the movies. Also, they had quite a few of the movie props. And did you know Werner Von Braun had....either 12 or 16 honorary PhDs, in addition to the ones he earned?
That is quite cool indeed. And I didnt know Von Braun had 16 honorary PhDs
Really nice work
Very interesting design to say the least. The Jupiter III looks doable, but I'm not sure about the shuttle sitting on top of the rocket, although it does remind me of von Braun's '53 rocketship.
before the apollo rockets, there was a spacecraft desgn much like this, it worked too, but was scrapped due to low cargo/crew capacity
That same design from Collier's magazine was later used by Disney for the "Man in Space" animated shorts.
In this case I actually took a good look at Boeing's X37 and the Hermes Spacecrafts. This would be larger then those though since the shuttle as seen here is only slightly smaller then the actual one.
will the aforementioned crafts be drawn? cause seriously... I'd love to see the completed set. if this rocket/shuttle image is so well done.. the rest would be the icing on the cake.
It turned out pretty well. I like the shape of it - it looks like a beefed up version of old moon landers.
Thanks and yeah it is certainly bigger and my idea is that these missions will provide the starting point for further exploration of the moon and our solar system
Your lunar rocket looks like it needs a lot more engine if its going to reach orbit. Three small engines and boosters dont look anywhere near powerful enough for that size of payload.
Good point. I will probably replace the boosters with more powerful units and add a center exhaust as well. This will gives it a 4 main exhausts and 3 aux. units.

clown fish breeding?
Could you put more then one orange clown in a 40 gallon? I want to try and breed them. How do you sex them? Any help would be nice.
orange clown isnt very specific as more then 1 clown can go into a 40 gallon but of the same species. its prob. best to get 2 small clowns and have them form a pair. the one thats more dominant will become the female.
So there is no male or female? I have the nemo clown. dont know specific name. I want to rais them. For my own personal use. Would they fight if I put another one in my tank? How long dos it take them to breed?
your going to want to find out if you have a percula or ocellaris clown. BOTH can look exactly like nemo and you want to accurately identify which you have or else the fish def. wont breed and are almost guarenteed to fight/kill eachother.
the ultimate best bet would to be to just buy an actual breeding pair from the start and sell/trade in the fish you have now. be careful if your doing this as people sell these fish as "PAIRS" and as "BREEDING PAIRS" as it isnt hard to get 2 of these fish to pair up but can take some time to get them to breed while paired up. If looking to buy a breeding pair of clowns, ask to see their eggs as proof of them being in breeding condition.
If you buy two small clowns of the same breed then eventually the larger, more dominant clown will transform into a female. Your then going to have to wait until your clowns grow and sexually mature. Your going to want to offer a very large mixture of foods and live foods from time to time.
Usually clowns will breed on their own in tanks but the other fish usually eat all the babies or they get sucked into powerheads and skimmers. For this reason if you want a max yield, setting up a fry tank may be best with a sponge filter.
it is a percula. i researched them and found that they are the better ones to breed. They usualy have up to 60 fry.

As for the artistry of presentation, you have drawn something quite sensual here, and it works really well. Thank you for sharing.

Saag tofu
See, I didn't actually use spinach, which is what saag means because I only had kale. So it's not really saag tofu, but that is what it is supposed to be and I'm sure the recipe will work very well with either spinach or kale. It's also fairly easy and simple to make, although I will tweak the recipe a bit next time. This recipe comes from The Inspired Vegan. My food photography skills do not do it justice, it is very good. My notes/alterations in italics.
1 lb extra firm tofu
1 t ground cumin
3/4 t ground tumeric
3/4 t mustard seeds
1/2 t fennel seeds
sea salt
5 T olive oil
2 lbs spinach or kale, washed and trimmed
1 small yellow or medium red onion
1 t minced ginger I used more like 1 1/2 teaspoon, and I used my microplane grater
2 small chilies, seeded and minced. I wasn't feeling like spicy, so I left this out. Next time, I'll use one small chili.
1/2 t ground coriander I love coriander, so I used a heaping teaspoon
1 t ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced or microplane them
1 1/2 cups unflavored rice milk I used one can of coconut milk, next time I'm going to try hazelnut milk
Preheat oven to 450.
Slice tofu into cubes. Set aside.
Combine 1/2 t cumin, 1/2 t turmeric, 1/2 t mustard seeds, 1/4 t fennel and 1/2 t salt and mix well. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, mix well. Add tofu cubes and toss gently to coat. Set tofu cubes on a lightly oiled pan, roasting for 15 minutes, turning, and then roasting for 15 more minutes. The original recipe said to use parchment paper, which I don't have.
Meanwhile, the recipe called for blanching the spinach. I steamed the kale instead.
In sauce pan, combine onion with the remaining oil and spices and salt. Sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the onion is soft and browning. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the spinach or kale and the milk to the saucepand and simmer over medium low heat, covered, until the spinach is creamy. At this point, I used my food processor to not quite puree it because my husband hates the texture of onions. Add 8 to 12 cubes of the tofu, and simmer for 5 more minutes. Season with salt to taste, serve.
I found that the tofu came out a bit to dry from the oven, so I will reduce the roasting time by 10 minutes next time. This is a really very tasty, creamy and smooth saag tofu, and I did not at all wish I was eating my former favorite, saag gosht.

I'm not quite sure what logic you're after, your post is a bit confusing TBH. It sounds like you'd be better off using an if/else statement, or a switch, rather than a loop.
In any case an if/else would work, but a loop can also work. You'd want to have your inputs labelled with a numerical identifier descending from 5. Something like:
$x=5; while ($x>0) { if (value-in-input$x != "") { // Forward to this $handler[$x] } else { $x--; } }

Comments about Gill Athletics Competitor's "Tuff Tear" Paper Numbers:
I purchased this product to support HS soccer tryouts. These numbers are absolutely no better than printing on your own computer -- the name "Tuff Tear" should not convince you that these are anything more than paper. If players wearing these are out in any kind of weather or sweat through their clothing, these will be destroyed after one use. NOT WORTH IT!

7 thoughts on "Yankees need Cano to be patient"
Wow Brien. Saw the on screen graphic last night and wondered if it was accurate. I guess so. Just a poor at bat by Cano.
what John just said. that looks as bad as the Pitch F/X version
Yes that at-bat was not pretty but you need to look at his previous at bat to get a little more understanding. Cano took the first two pitches which were both off the plate but called strikes, then did basically the same thing that at bat. His next time up (the one you cite) he 'had' to swing at those pitches as they were called strikes his last at bat…….
That's sort of non-falsifiable, but in any case he could have at least let one of them be called a strike first. Especially since the first pitch was called a ball. It's not like he was going to barrel any of them up or anything.
Also, for what it's worth, Pitch F/X shows every pitch from Cano's fourth inning at bat as being in the strike zone, and the only called strike in the at bat being well within the zone. he swung at the only pitch he saw in his first at bat.
I was curious about this so I checked on the site Brien referenced, and those pitches were actually on the plate according to Pitch FX.
Sorry, can't embed an image I guess.
Anyhow, this at bat, may have influenced the one in the 6th, but it certainly wasn't because those pitches were outside.
Brien beat me to it.

Social dialogue in this sector covers:
Air transport makes a key contribution to the European economy, with more than 150 scheduled airlines, over 400 airports, and 60 air navigation service providers. There were an estimated 700,000 direct employees in the EU air transport sector in 2010 (airlines, airports, independent ground handling, independent maintenance, air navigation service providers, flight training). Indirect employment generated by the sector is estimated at 2 million.
Airlines and airports alone contribute more than €140 billion to the European GDP. Some 800 million passengers departed or arrived at EU airports in 2010.
Major challenges for the industry are the absence of a global level playing field, the strong impact of the economic crisis, high fuel prices, an increasingly competitive environment, structural changes (such as the development of the low cost model and the development of transnational employment) and the implementation of the Single European Sky initiative.
In 2009, the ATCEUC and the ETF agreed to formalise their cooperation in the context of European social dialogue. Both recognise each other as social partners in the air traffic management (ATM) field and as organisations that represent air traffic controllers at European level. ATCEUC recognises ETF as a representative of all other ATM personnel at European level. This agreement ensures ATCEUC's involvement in the social dialogue – very relevant in the context of the Single European Sky initiative.

An Interview with the IEA's Neil Atkinson
Give your kids the knowledge they need
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Today, we're introducing a new feature for readers focused on
retirement money issues.
A big question that many Americans ask as they begin to hit
their later years is how much money you'll need to enjoy your
current quality of life during retirement.
Years ago, there was a rule of thumb that you could get by in
retirement if you were able to draw about 2/3 of what your average
income was during your last 5 years of employment. Unfortunately,
times have changed and several factors have come in to play to push
that magic number higher for many retiring workers.
With the recent hits to the real estate and financial markets,
some experts estimate that the average investor has lost about 5
years worth of built-up equity in their investment portfolio
holdings (stocks, real estate, CD rates, savings, etc.). The idea
of things reverting back to where they were (a manic bull market)
are unlikely as far as I can tell, so for the many soon-to-be
retirees and those who are retired now, careful consideration is
needed to build your retirement savings back up. Downsizing to a
smaller home is an option, but with the real estate market in flux,
the expected asking price for your current home is likely
significantly lower than a few years ago. Also, you may not want to
move, so you need to figure out an alternative cost-cutting
solution (I know whenever I mention to my parents about coming down
to live near me, they always give me the "we like where we are and
we don't want to deal with packing boxes." Believe me, I've
Today's reality is that retirees will likely need anywhere from
90-100% of their average income to be able to support their current
lifestyle. To calculate your expected retirement income, look at
your 401K, pension plan, and Social Security projections (every
year the government mails us a statement with what your estimated
monthly social security payments will be) as the main sources for
your revenue. Add those income sources up, and if the total is
greater than your monthly expenses, congratulations - you should be
But for many, the ratio of income to expenses will likely be too
close for comfort. In that case, you may want to consider working
longer full-time, or possibly looking for a part-time job during
retirement. The psychological downer of needing to work during
retirement can be off-putting, but look at the bright side: you
will remain sharper in your older years, and yes, being retired can
get boring fast for many people who've been used to working.
Your best bet is to do your homework and start getting your
financial house in order as soon as possible. As we all know, the
bills don't stop coming, so stay diligent, organized, and
financially responsible, and your retirement will be a happy
