The possibility of an ancient Martian ocean is an enticing one, and there has been growing evidence that it did indeed exist (dubbed Oceanus Borealis), covering most of the northern hemisphere, and about a third of the planet, billions of years ago. Now, some new observations of boulders in what likely used to be the ocean bottom have given scientists additional clues as to what this ocean was like, it was announced this past Saturday (February 15, 2014).
In this relatively flat region in the northern hemisphere, larger boulders are scattered across the landscape. A new study by Lorena Moscardelli, a geologist at the University of Texas in Austin, shows that the distribution of these boulders is similar to those on Earth which were moved around by underwater landslides. Her paper was published this month in a journal of the Geological Society of America.
Some other scientists have assumed the boulders, seen in images taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, were simply the result of meteorite impacts, but Moscardelli disagrees.
"That's possible for some of the boulders, especially those found close to craters," she said. "But how do you explain boulder fields that can cover thousands of square kilometers without any impact craters around? The submarine hypothesis provides a feasible alternative."
She adds:
"We know that 'submarine landslides' can transport big boulders - sometimes as big as a house - for hundreds of kilometres into the deep-water of the Earth oceans. Imagine a huge landslide affecting the entire state of Texas, but happening in the ocean."
She shows that on Earth, similar occurrences can be found in the Pennsylvanian Jackfork Group of south-central Arkansas, the outcrops of the Guandacol Formation in the Pangazo Basin, Argentina and in the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil as a few examples.
As well as the boulders, other geologic features seen here can also be found underwater on Earth, such as teardrop-shaped islands and polygonal-shaped cracks in the surface.
The Viking spacecraft had already spotted what looked like the remains of shorelines in this area back in the 1980s. These northern plains are also lower in elevation than the terrain in the southern hemisphere, similar to ocean basins on Earth.
We know that there is a lot of ice still buried just below the surface in this region. Could it be left over from the former ocean? The Phoenix lander even directly scooped up some of this ice several years ago. We also now know from the rovers and orbiters that there used to be Martian lakes and rivers; were there oceans too?
Further study will still be necessary to see if this explanation is accurate, but when combined with other evidence it appears to strengthen the case for a former Martian ocean. If so, the next question of course is whether anything was alive in those waters?

Leukemia is cancer of the blood cells, usually the white blood cells.
What are the types of leukemia?
There are four main types of leukemia, which can be further divided into subtypes. When classifying the type of leukemia, the first steps are to determine if the cancer is:
1. lymphocytic or myelogenous leukemia:
Cancer can occur in either the lymphoid or myeloid white blood cells.
When the cancer develops in the lymphocytes (lymphoid cells), it is called lymphocytic leukemia.
When the cancer develops in the granulocytes or monocytes (myeloid cells), it is called myelogenous leukemia.
2. acute or chronic leukemia:
Leukemia is either acute or chronic.
acute leukemia
The new or immature cells, called blasts, remain very immature and cannot perform their functions. The blasts increase in number rapidly, and the disease progresses quickly.
chronic leukemia
There are some blast cells present, but they are more mature and are able to perform some of their functions. The cells grow more slowly, and the number increases less quickly, so the disease progresses gradually.
Based on these findings, the leukemia is then classified into one of the four main types of leukemias: acute myelogenous leukemia (AML); chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML); acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL); or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the blood in which too many lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, are produced by the bone marrow and by organs of the lymph system.
Normally, the lymphocytes fight infection by making antibodies that attack harmful elements. But, in ALL, the cells are immature and overabundant. They crowd out other blood cells, and may collect in the blood, bone marrow, and lymph tissue.
Acute leukemia can occur over a short period of days to weeks. Chromosome abnormalities (extra chromosomes and structural changes in the chromosome material) are present in the majority of all patients.
ALL is more common in children than adults, with most children between the ages of two and four when the cancer is found. According to the American Cancer Society, of the 44,270 leukemia cases expected in 2008, ALL will account for 5,430 of the acute cases. The average person has about a one in 1,000 chance of developing ALL.
The following are the most common symptoms of acute lymphocytic leukemia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of acute lymphocytic leukemia may resemble other blood disorders or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for acute lymphocytic leukemia may include the following:
Specific treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia will be determined by your physician based on:

Image Comparisons: PNG, WebP, and HIPIX
With so many new image formats coming out this week, it seems only prudent to put them through some paces. In this short feature, find some results about how the various algorithms actually work in practice. There are a few important questions I wanted to answer:
- Which one offers the best compression?
- Which one offers the most visually pleasing results?
- Which one offers the most numerically accurate results?
So I set out to test all three of them and see which one fared the best. Using first the CIE 1931 Chromaticity diagram, and then a real photograph, I ran several tests. The results are all inside after the break.
My initial testing started with the CIE 1931 Chromaticity Diagram, a great way to stress the entire color spectrum with some very fine gradients, along with some fine details from the gridlines and axes. I then performed three conversions:
- Using Imagemagick, convert the image to JPG and then back to PNG.
- Using the HIPIX software, convert the image to HPX, and then use the HIPIX Viewer to convert it back to PNG
- Using the WebPConv software, convert the image to WebP and then back to PNG
I then had 4 images in PNG format, the original image and the 3 processed images. You could very quickly see some artifacts of the conversion. See some of the results below.
Of course, the compression artifacts are only part of the story. What about the Filesizes?
- Original PNG – 334,891 bytes
- Compressed JPG – 115,868 bytes
- WebP on default settings – 28,094 Bytes
- WebP on high quality – 92,592 bytes
- HIPIX on Normal Quality -29,942 bytes
- HIPIX on High Quality – 71,931 bytes
So, the WebP offers the best compression, but at the default settings the quality is quite obviously degraded. At "high Quality", the HIPIX image looks great and beats WebP on high quality for filesize, but at lower qualities seems to have difficulties with finer details as evidenced by the grainy text edges. So, is there a way to more accurately describe the quality?
Using some techniques I learned back in my old Image Processing classes, I decided to compute the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of each resulting PNG compared to the original starting image. This should give us a numerical 'error' value indicating how closely they match. I used the ImageMagick 'compare' utility to compute the RMSE value of each channel. (Simply 'compare -metric RMSE image1 image2 null:').
|RMSE Red
|RMSE Green
|RMSE Blue
|RMSE All
|WebP Normal
|WebP High
|HIPIX Normal
|HIPIX High
So, the ragged edges on the text cause ridiculously high RMS error figures in the HIPIX Normal test, but the HIgh-Quality HIPIX test winds up being the most accurate to the reference image. It seems to place less emphasis on the red channel and focuses on the Blue channel (as evidenced by the RMS error being higher there), but the WebP high is pretty decent as well.
So.. With that out of the way, let's try a real world example.

Jennifer Lopez Has "Baby Bump"?
From the fertile minds at HollywoodLife comes speculation that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant. In a post titled, "Jennifer Lopez: Too-Tight Dress or a New Tyke to Join the Twins," the same site that spent months wrongly insisting that Jennifer Garner was expecting now writes that Lopez will be "giving birth to a pop-star's career in just a few weeks as an American Idol judge — but could Jennifer Lopez, 41, be on her way to bringing something else into the world?"
The blog says it "caught a glimpse of what looks to be a slight baby bump as 'Jenny from the Block' turned the corner with her hubby Marc Anthony at Paramount CEO's Brad Grey wedding to Cassandra Huysentruyt in California on April 16." HollywoodLife further notes as evidence of a possible pregnancy that Lopez has been "wearing an awful lot of loose-fitting apparel on this season of Idol."
Wait… So, according to HollywoodLife, Lopez may simply have worn a "too-tight dress" to the wedding and is not pregnant – or wears "loose-fitting apparel" on TV and is pregnant. Meaning: HollywoodLife knows nothing, and the staffers spend their days mulling over photos guessing about the personal lives of celebrities.
Gossip Cop, which repeatedly embarrassed HollywoodLife for its Jennifer Garner false pregnancy stories, checked in with Marc Anthony's rep, who scoffed, "Again? Gosh, they will probably 'be pregnant' at least 6 more times before the end of the year." We're waiting to hear back from J. Lo's rep.

United States Canada and Mexico have formed a pact to restore milkweed in an effort to save the monarch butterfly.
According to researchers at the University of Guelph in Canada, factors linked to the drop in migratory monarch butterflies to the loss of milkweed, especially in certain breeding grounds for them in America's Midwestern states due to the high use of herbicides in the Corn Belt region and other "high-intensity agricultural parts of the country.
"We're losing milkweed throughout Eastern North America, but what we found out is milkweed loss specifically in the Midwestern U.S. is likely contributing the most to monarch declines," noted study co-authors Tyler Flockhart and Ryan Norris, a professor in the University of Guelph's Department of Integrative Biology, along with members of Australia's national science agency. In fact they reported a "21% decline in milkweed plants in the region between 1995 and 2013."
The plant is important for the distinct orange and black butterfly species because the insect lays its eggs on it. It is also the only group of plants that monarch caterpillars feed on before developing into butterflies," Flockhart stated. "Reducing the negative effects of milkweed loss in the breeding grounds should be the top conservation priority to slow or halt future population declines of the monarch in North America, with the populations in Mexico alone dropping all the way down to approximately 33.5 million this year from an "annual average of about 350 million."

GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina women's basketball team is looking to rebound from its recent loss at UTEP as it heads to Memphis for a Thursday evening conference game. The Pirates and Tigers will face off on January 17, at 8 p.m. (ET) at Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
The Game: ECU at Memphis
East Carolina continues its road swing with a contest at Memphis on Thursday, January 17, at 8 p.m. (ET) at Elma Roane Fieldhouse. Both squads are 1-1 in Conference USA action and ECU holds an 11-4 overall record, while Memphis is 10-6.
The Series
The Pirates and Tigers will meet for the 21st time in program history and the all-time series is knotted at 10-10. Last season the Tigers swept ECU in a pair of contests, edging the Pirates, 62-59, in Memphis, before defeating them, 69-56, in Greenville, N.C. East Carolina is looking for its first victory over Memphis since March 9, 2010, when the Pirates held off the Tigers, 73-66, at the Conference USA Tournament in Tulsa, Okla.
Last Time Out
The Pirates are looking to rebound from their 81-66 loss at UTEP last Sunday. In that contest, ECU started the game well and led the entire first half as the Pirate defense limited the Miners to a 25-percent shooting clip. The East Carolina defense did not allow UTEP to score a field goal for nearly five minutes during the first half. The Pirates led at the half, 35-27. UTEP came back in the second half and ended up defeating ECU by a score of 81-66. Britny Edwards registered 13 points and 10 rebounds for her sixth double-double of the year to go along with two assists and one block, while Celeste Stewart notched 12 points, a season-high eight boards, five assists, one steal, and one block. Whitny Edwards also contributed 12 points and added four rebounds, while Kyani White tallied 11 points, two boards, a pair of assists and one steal. Tatiana Chapple turned in a solid performance with five rebounds, four points, one assist, and a steal, while Ariana Jackson came off the bench and registered five boards, three points and a block.
About the Pirates
East Carolina will enter Elma Roane Fieldhouse with an 11-4 overall record and a 1-1 C-USA mark. The Pirates are averaging 66.7 points per game this season, while limiting their opponents to 53.5. The ECU defense has been solid this season as it is forcing 24.1 turnovers per game, while collecting 13.9 steals per contest, which is good for third in the nation. The Pirates have three double-figure scorers in Whitny Edwards (11.8 points per game), Britny Edwards (11.4), and Celeste Stewart (10.1). Britny Edwards is the squad's rebounding leader as she has collected 125 boards to average 8.3 per contest. She is also leads the team in blocks with 22 and a 52.1 shooting percentage. Whitny Edwards has been consistent for the Pirates all season as she averages 6.5 rebounds per game, and has added 23 steals and 29 assists. In addition to averaging 10.1 points per game, Stewart is the team leader with 69 assists. The senior point guard has been a major contributer as she has also posted 39 rebounds and 27 steals. Junior Kristine Mial has made an immediate impact since returning to the Pirates' lineup after sitting out the first 10 games of the season due to an injury. Since her return, she is averaging 9.6 points per game and has collected 10 rebounds and five steals. Redshirt sophomore Kyani White has grabbed 43 steals to lead the Pirates and average 2.9 steals per game, which ranks in the top 50 in the nation. White has also added 5.7 points per game, 51 assists, and 2.2 rebounds per game.
Scouting The Tigers
Memphis comes into the game against the Pirates with a 10-6 overall record and a 1-1 conference mark. The Tigers opened conference play with a 77-74 loss at Houston before defeating Southern Miss, 63-57, last Sunday. Memphis is averaging 72.9 points per game and holding its opponents to 66.5 for a scoring margin of 6.4. Nicole Dickson, the conference leader in points per game, leads the squad with 19.9.

Memphis also boasts the reigning C-USA Freshman of the Week in Asianna Fuqua-Bey who is averaging 6.3 points per game, 5.3 rebounds per game, 15 steals, eight assists, and four blocks on the year.
The Coaches
East Carolina: Head Coach Heather Macy (Greensboro College, 2000) enters her third year at the helm of the ECU women's basketball team and holds a record of 39-38 as the Pirates leader. Overall, Macy owns a 154-77 career record and is 90-43 in conference action. In her first year with the Pirates, Macy guided the team to a winning record for the third straight season and helped the Pirates to a 9-7 conference mark which was good for fifth place in the league. Macy came to ECU from Francis Marion where she led the Patriots to a 27-5 ledger during the 2009-10 season and finished second in the East Division of the Peach Belt Conference. Under her tutelage, FMU earned a berth to the NCAA Division II Tournament and advanced to the second round. Macy spent three seasons with FMU and finished her stint with an impressive 75-19 record. She began her coaching career with Pfeiffer, where she coached for two years and led the Falcons to a 26-5 record in her final season.
Memphis: Melissa McFerrin (Missouri, 1983) is in her fifth season as the head coach of the Memphis women's basketball program and in just two seasons into her hiring has taken a team that went 10-20 in 2007-08 to a 20-win season and the Tigers' first post-season tournament appearance since the 2003-04 season. En route to leading the Tigers to their post-season bid, McFerrin's squad accomplished a number of firsts during the regular season as they swept three East Division C-USA foes for the first time since the league went to East/West divisions, and helped a trio of Tigers earn post-season honors. Memphis, which was tied for second in the C-USA Championships, eventually accepted a post-season tournament bid into the inaugural Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) field, defeating UMKC, Wichita State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi to advance to the championship game at Appalachian State. McFerrin came to Memphis after serving as the head coach at American University and the University of Minnesota.
The National Spotlight
As a team, East Carolina ranks in the Top 50 in seven categories in NCAA Division I statistics. The Pirates are in third in steals per game (13.9), ninth in turnover margin (7.2), 24th in assists per game (16.6), 30th in scoring defense (53.5), 38th in scoring margin (13.1), 43rd in field-goal percent defense (35.0), and 46th in assists to turnover ratio (0.98). Individually, redshirt sophomore Kyani White is the only Pirate who ranks in the top 50 in the NCAA statistical categories. She is 42nd in assists to turnover ratio (1.89) and 46th in steals per game (2.87).
On This Date in ECU Women's Basketball History
The East Carolina women's basketball team has played in 10 contests on January 17th since the program's inception. The first game took place in 1975, when ECU defeated Western Carolina, 74-67. Since then, the Pirates have recorded a 4-6 record on January 17th, with their last contest taking place in 2010 at Rice in a Conference USA game in Houston, Texas. In that game, the Pirates fell to the Owls, 77-74. ECU's most memorable game that took place on January 17th was in 1981 when the Pirates routed William & Mary, 108-49, in Greenville, N.C. The 108 points scored by the East Carolina offense still ranks in the top 10 in points scored in a single contest.
Cracking the Top 10
A pair of Pirates have found their way into the East Carolina women's basketball career record books with their performances this season. Britny Edwards is currently ranked eighth in career blocks with 67, while Celeste Stewart sits in ninth with 303 career assists.
Closing in on the Top 10
Senior Shala Hodges is 13 three-pointers away from jumping into 10th place in the ECU all-time record books for most three-point field goals made in a career. Currently, Hodges has tallied 74 treys.
Off the Bench
The East Carolina women's basketball team utilizes its bench as much as anyone, if not more. This season, the Pirates' bench has outscored its opponents' bench 348-216. ECU's non-starters tallied 52 of the team's 84 points in the Pirates' win over St. Andrew's on November 11, and East Carolina's bench recorded 45 of 79 points against Converse on November 18. Most recently, the Pirates' bench notched 26 points versus' George Mason on January 2, while the Patriots' bench was limited to just four points. In that contest, ECU cruised past George Mason, 71-53.
Cleaning up the Glass
Whitny Edwards and Britny Edwards have been doing their duty at the glass this season. The twins have totaled 222 rebounds as Britny has collected 125 and Whitny has added 97.

Debunking more IBM FUD regarding Linux on Mainframes
By user12611852 on Mar 01, 2007
Once again Ken Milberg has published an article about IBM technologies (this time Linux on Mainframe) full of misrepresentations, omissions and errors. I commented on his last article as did Jeff Savit and others.
The best example of Mr. Milberg's content free writing is this paragraph on "price."
Price -- Though there is plenty of open source software that runs on Unix, open source and Linux go together like peanut butter and jelly. While not all open source software is free, one is certainly free to modify its source code.
Yes, that's the whole paragraph. To quote one of the children in Mary Poppins after hearing the word "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" , "But it doesn't mean anything!"
For a detailed deconstruction of the article by Jeff Savit, check out Jeff's blog entry

I loved coming home to a gleaming house. I was pleasantly surprised that details were not forgotten!
She was courteous, friendly and most of all - VERY thorough!!! She focuses and does it right!
My place is perfectly clean every time. She does a wonderful job taking care of our home top to bottom.
She is always professional and exercises unusual attention to detail. I trust her to not only clean our belongings, but to have a key to our house
I have tried many cleaning services before, but MaidPro is by far the best. My house never looked so good.
Thank you MaidPro! My house is sparkling. I'm considering locking my family out so they don't dirty it up again.
You guys are awesome. You are single-handedly winning the battle against the pet hair in my house!
MaidPro, I love you. You have given my family our weekends back. Thank you!
Our house hasn't been this clean since the day we moved in. You guys are the best.

Only 10 miles from where another Florida woman was attacked by a black bear last year, a 45-year-old Seminole woman was attacked by as many as five black bears that were rummaging through her garbage for food.
Terri Frana, who lives in an upscale home in Lake Mary, had went to her garage to fetch bicycles for her children to ride before she was attacked, according to her husband, Frank Frana.
As soon as her children rode off on the bikes Mrs. Frana spotted two bears in the driveway. She retreated to the patio where she found five more bears foraging through a scattering of refuse they had removed from garbage cans.
"The bear got up on [its] hind legs and started to maul her, opened its jaws and put her head in the mouth and dragged her towards the woods," Frank Frana said. "Somehow she was able to pull herself out."
After managing to pull her head out of the mouth of a mama bear, Frana managed to reach the safety of the house and collapsed in the living room. Her son immediately called 911 upon finding her and she was transported to a local hospital where she was treated for at least three bear bites to her head and face as well as cuts inflicted by bear claws to her torso, arms and legs. Frana needed 40 stitches just to close wounds on her face and head.
"The bears were various sizes so we think it's probably cubs of different maturity and perhaps a mama bear," the Seminole County Sheriff's Office told ABC News.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said there was at least one bear involved in the attack but couldn't corroborate the report that there had been five bears.
Frana was released from the hospital early Sunday and was reportedly recovering at home. Wildlife officials set traps in the area and searched for them throughout the night.
Last December, 54-year-old Susan Chalfant was mauled by a black bear while taking her dogs for a walk in a Seminole County community about 10 miles away.
Bear attacks, considered rare in Florida, have increased in Seminole County as bear habitats are increasingly bordered by suburban sprawl. Florida, because of its climate and beaches is a major destination state, which means there will be more intermingling between bears and humans as Florida's population continues to increase.
According to the Department of Natural Resources, it is best to stand your ground when confronted by a black bear. Moreover, bears are more apt to attack if they sense their cubs are in danger.

I thought I would share a photo comparison of a before and after shot of Kohl. I decided to try the Brita Filtered water after coming back from vacation last year and the rusty color of my water. I even have a new construiction home so I was a little surprised at how icky reddish the water was after 10 days. I do feed raw and a variety of meats and his diet has not really changed any, just the filtered water.
I'm going to get a new 2 1/2 gallon counter top model tomorrow. I used a pitcher once and now I have a pure 3 stage on the faucet.
It's easy to see...

This from a company who has an ethics policy about non discrimination on Gender Identity and Sexual Prefrence, but has recent multipe cases against Gender, Disability, and there did not seem to be any problems with my performance prior to them learning of my transgender status. They often made comment about a transgender african american female that worked there and how disgusted they were to have her in the same building. There was no issues other thsn I documented any issues found as a Govermennt auditor of their contract. The problems stsarte after they knew of my status.
After inquiring about the allegations by BAE in August their response was provided to me the reference to me leaving was after they bared me from their facillity their response on 2/22/2012 is as follows;
>> Dear Tamara,
>>
 Several of the individuals who were involved in this case are no longer with BAE, and many organizational changes have occurred since you left, so retrieving everything I needed took far longer than anticipated. I have since conducted several interviews and reviewed the available material.
>>
 What I see in the record is a complicated situation in which several BAE employees alleged that specific behavior - not your status, but statements and actions in the workplace unrelated to your job - made them feel harassed. The investigation conducted by HR was thorough, included several different sources of information, and seems to have followed an established process.

Home > Science > Blood of Louis XVI found in gourd container
Blood of Louis XVI found in gourd container
Wednesday 9 January 2013
Source: Forensic Science International.
A team of scientists have said they believe an old gourd contains the blood of French King Louis XVI. The scientists said the DNA is very similar to genetic material from what is believed to be the mummified head of an earlier French king. The team of experts from Spain and France has published its findings in Forensic Science International journal.
A mummified head was identified in 2010 as belonging to Henri IV, King of France. A putative blood sample from the King Louis XVI preserved into a pyrographically decorated gourd was analyzed in 2011. Both kings are in a direct male-line descent, separated by seven generations.
Researchers have retrieved the hypervariable region 1 of the mitochondrial DNA as well as a partial Y-chromosome profile from Henri IV. Five STR loci match the alleles found in Louis XVI, while another locus shows an allele that is just one mutation step apart. Taking into consideration that the partial Y-chromosome profile is extremely rare in modern human databases, they concluded that both males could be paternally related. The likelihood ratio of the two samples belonging to males separated by seven generations (as opposed to unrelated males) was estimated as 246.3, with a 95% confidence interval between 44.2 and 9729.
Historically speaking, this forensic DNA data would confirm the identity of the previous Louis XVI sample, and give another positive argument for the authenticity of the head of Henri IV.
Louis XVI was executed by guillotine by French revolutionaries more than 200 years ago, on 21 January 1793.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. According to the American Cancer Society, it is responsible for nearly a third of cancer diagnoses and ten percent of all cancer deaths in men.
Over the past 15 years, the death rate from prostate cancer has been in decline, and a higher proportion of men are diagnosed at an earlier – and more curable – stage of the disease. This has occurred thanks to new innovative treatments, more sensitive diagnostic methods and increasing public awareness about the need for screening.
Remember: The American Cancer Society recommends that men 50 and older be screened annually for prostate cancer. Testing should begin earlier if a man has known risk factors for the disease.

A new taste map? Sweet! Image courtesy of Flickr user zozo2k3.
September 27, 2011 | Jennifer Dionisio
Did you grow up believing the tongue maps you saw in your classrooms were real? If you did, you might be surprised to hear there's almost no scientific evidence that the tongue is portioned out in those neat little segments, each one responsible for a particular taste. (We explained where this myth originated on a recent episode of Distillations.) However, scientists have recently revealed what they believe to be a new and accurate taste map located not on the tongue but in the brain.
In the September 2, 2011 issue of Science, Columbia University neuroscientists Charles Zuker and his team published a paper showing that particular neuron clusters in the gustatory cortex correspond to saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, and umami. (Brother sour was missing; with the researchers speculating that it may beyond the area they studied.) Using two-photon calcium imaging, they decided that basic tastes are determined in "a precise and spatially ordered way."
The scientific community seems particularly abuzz about this research because taste is the last of the senses to be properly mapped in the brain. Join us in welcoming it to the club, as it is arguably one of the most essential senses. And also join us in pushing the rudimentary tongue map further into obscurity!

Steiner Klenz XXL Shower in a Towel
A Klenz towel is the most convenient way for you to get, and feel, clean when you don't have access to fresh water facilities. The towel's size makes it very easy to use, and it is durable enough to get the job done.
Klenz towels are made in the USA, are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, portable, and individually packaged, so they're always conveniently fresh when you need it and 100% biodegradable!
The Klenz XXL Shower in a Towel was conceived and designed by a US military serviceman who, while on a tour of duty, realized the need for a pre-moistened towel that was large enough, and durable enough, to provide a full-body cleaning.
Once used the Klenz towel can be washed and then becomes an absorbent, fast drying, durable general purpose towel that can be used time and time again.

From the sounds of it, Gwen Stefani's life is exhausting. In a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, the singer speaks of juggling her intense career (including late-night video shoots for the newly-resurrected No Doubt), traveling on tour with her husband, rocker Gavin Rossdale, and the responsibilities of parenting two small children, not even mentioning her two clothing and accessories lines (L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers), her various promotional gigs (she's the face of L'Oreal) and her sure-to-be-intense fitness regimen. It's enough to make any normal gossip-blog-reading, Teen Mom-viewing person feel really lazy.
In an accompanying photo shoot masterminded by top fashion photographer Terry Richardson, Gwen wears her hair both up, in a kicky topknot and down, all windswept, and poses in a variety of high-fashion attire. There's a form-fitting leather dress by The Row, a drapey DVF jumpsuit, a dramatic Alexander McQueen strapless dress, a structural Jill Sander gown, a sexy Versace number and more, all in shades of pink and black.
Harper's writer Derek Blasberg took Gwen out to lunch for the article, and the two talk a lot about her iconic and, these days, seriously flawless style. Culled from the text, here are five interesting factoids about the pop singer's look.
1. Her adult braces (remember that phase?) were a gift she gave to herself when No Doubt hit the big time: "I always told myself when I got rich, that's the first thing I'd do."
2. Her first designer dress was Prada, and a roadie ruined it: "'He took my first Prada dress, which Gavin had bought for me, the firs designer piece I ever owned, and he washed it, and it came back this big,' she says, indicating Barbie doll—size with her fingers."
3. She went white blonde at 25, and the procedure took 8 hours: "It was like I'd unlocked the key. I remember feeling like, 'I have arrived. This is me. Finally.'"
4. Gavin prefers her made up, so she wears makeup at home: "I like to make my husband like me more and he likes it when I'm wearing makeup."
5. Gwen's inaugural tube of red lipstick, now part of her signature look, came from her grandmother: "I remember sitting in my ghetto, beat-up Honda Prelude and putting on that lipstick in the rearview mirror and being like, 'Uh-huh, I like that. That's the shit right there.' I never stopped after that."

Once you set a goal, and you've begun taking steps, it's important to chart your success. Writing down everything you do toward your goals empowers the actions you are taking and allows you to see the progress. Many times, it's too easy to forget how much we have done toward our goals. Charting that progress is one of the best things you can do to keep you moving.
To begin your journal:
- Write out your goal. Make it specific and realistic. One of the biggest sabotages to success is that the goal is not realistic. The component of the goal that is usually not realistic for many people is the time line. We live in a culture where we expect things to happen quickly, and frequently the time lines we write into our goals are not workable. Think about a time line that you can fit into your schedule and be willing to change it if necessary.
- Come up with steps that you can take tomorrow, this week, this month, etc. Small steps work. Again, make them realistic. List these planned steps in your journal after your goal.
- When you complete each step, record that in your journal.
- When you reach benchmarks within your goal, write about it.
- Record any positive experiences as you encounter them in the process toward your goal.
Writing things down makes them more concrete in your life and empowers your action so you can see your success.
Bookstores are a great place to find journals that make this process enjoyable. Some Lexington booksellers:
