The famous geological research ship Glomar Challenger was a radically new instrument that revolutionized earth science in the same sense that the cyclotron revolutionized nuclear physics, and its deep-sea drilling voyages, conducted from 1968 through 1983, were some of the great scientific adventures of our time. Beginning with the vessel's first cruises, which lent support to the idea of continental drift, the Challenger played a key part in the widely publicized plate-tectonics revolution and its challenge to more conventional theories.

Moho and Mohole
Harry Hess wanted to drill down to the Mohol the base of the earth's crust. The venture failed, but technological innovations developed for the Mohole Project made the Deep Sea Drilling Project possible.
Impressions of a Scientist
As they say in America, if you dig a deep enough hole, you will reach China. Nobody ever seriously prepared to do so, but Harry Hess once did persuade the Congress of the United States to invest millions of dollars in a hole to the mysterious realm of Moho, ten kilometers below the ocean.
I first came across Harry Hess in the Prudential Insurance Building in Houston, Texas. That was February 1954. I was fresh out of graduate school, and had just pulled down my first job, with the Exploration and Production Research Laboratory of the Shell Oil Company. Hess was already a well-known geologist, then chairing the Geology Department of Princeton University. He came to Houston on a fund-raising tour. For his talk to the Princeton Alumni Association, he chose to speak on guyots—the newly discovered sunken flat-top mountains of the Pacific.
Harry Hess had been the young commander of the troop-transport M/S Cape Johnson of the U.S. Pacific Fleet during the Second World War. While ferrying troops for landings in the Marianas and the Philippines and on Iwo Jima across the Mid-Pacific, the echo-sounder of his vessel registered a seafloor topography that was far from monotonous. Undersea mountains appeared one after another on the echogram; they rose thousands of meters above the deep ocean floor (Figure 1.1). They all had steep sides and a flat top, looking somewhat like mesas on the Colorado Plateau of the western United States. Crisscrossing over the mountains revealed a circular outline. This morphology indicated to geologist-commander Hess that those underwater features were sunken volcanic islands with their tops chopped off. He called them guyots, in honor of Arnold Guyot, Princeton's first geology professor, who also lent his name to the building that houses the Princeton geology department. When the war ended, Hess could report the discovery of 160 of the drowned islands in the Pacific basin.
Oceanographic vessels returned to Hess's old hunting ground and were able to find more guyots. They also used a tool for dredging, a scissor-like hook at the end of a long steel cable, to grab and twist off pieces of rock from the steep sides of the sunken islands. They turned out to be mostly volcanic rocks, as Hess had expected.
Submarine volcanoes are not uncommon on the present-day seafloor; they are called seamounts. What made the guyots unusual were their flat tops. Hess assumed these were caused by erosion—the guyots were once volcanic islands, but their conical tops had been planed off by the pounding of ocean waves. The islands seemed to have stood firm while waves were doing their job of cutting down the parts above sea level. Then, for some reason, subsidence started, and the flat-topped islands sank three or four thousand meters to become guyots.
I was always quick to jump to conclusions. I had learned in school that volcanoes in the oceans should sink under their own weight, but the rate of subsidence is finite. When seamounts (underwater volcanoes) are active, molten liquids, or lavas, pouring out of the interior of the earth pile up so fast that subsidence cannot keep up with the build-up. The seamounts eventually rise above sea level, forming volcanic islands. However, volcanoes become inactive sooner or later. Then ever-present gravity does its work and pulls the volcanic islands back down to the abyss.
That a volcanic island should sink under its own weight in an ocean had been, in fact, a common assumption in geology. Charles Darwin invoked the idea to explain the origin of coral atolls. Therefore, I was a little surprised that Hess should be disturbed by the presence of guyots in the deep sea. Too shy to bring up the point during the discussions after the talk, I nevertheless wrote Hess a letter.
I received a prompt reply from Professor Hess, typed single-spaced on three sheets of stationery, apparently by himself. He apologized that he could not find time to give me a more detailed explanation; the usual activities of a newly begun semester had taken a heavy toll on his working hours. He was also apologetic about his less than professional skill in handling a typewriter. Just the same, he patiently explained to the slightly arrogant young man why the simple-minded scheme of subsidence under load cannot explain all the problems in connection with the origin of guyots.
The facet of the problem that bothered Hess most was the flat top. Waves did their work slowly. Why did the islands seem to have paused for such a long time, waiting until the waves had removed mountains and cut the volcanic islands down to sea level? When and why did the flat-topped mountains start their irrevocable journeys down to the abyss? After discussing the pros and cons of the various explanations at some length, Hess reiterated his puzzlement and questioned the possibility of a simple answer.
Years later both of us learned more about the oceans. Guyots did indeed sink under gravity. Hess's difficulty could be traced to his assumption that the flat top was due to erosion. When we look at the islands of the Pacific today, some with volcanoes rising hundreds of meters above sea level, it seems a formidable task indeed to cut those volcanic mountains down. However, flat-topped islands—such as Saipan, Tinian, and others that were used as air bases for U.S. B-24 bombers during the war against the Japanese—are not uncommon. They are flat not because waves pounded the mountains down, but because the topography has been evened out by the deposition of flat-lying sediments. Elsewhere, flat-topped islands may owe their lack of relief to horizontally accumulated lava flows or ash beds. If we accept Darwin's theory that atolls build on a sinking volcanic foundation, the sediments trapped in the lagoons of an atoll should gradually cover the tip of the volcano to make a flat top. Those atolls on which coral grows too slowly eventually sink to become guyots. From this point of view, guyots are simply coral atolls that died young. In the tropical Pacific, where coral growth could always keep pace with the sinking of the foundations, sunken volcanoes are now crowned by living reef corals, as Charles Darwin once theorized.
I shall come back to the story of guyots in a later chapter. What impressed me back in 1954 was not what Hess wrote, but that he did write. I was not convinced by his arguments then, but I did treasure the autograph from the famous man.
My second encounter with Harry Hess took place in Washington, D.C., a few years later. I was appearing before a distinguished national audience during the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union to present my first professional lecture. It was scheduled as the first talk of the first session—a rather ticklish spot. Furthermore, I had sent in the theme in a moment of lightheartedness, and I came to realize only belatedly that I had chosen a poor subject for a start. Normally a young man beginning his professional career would choose to report on a fact-finding research project, in which he could make a good impression on his peers by demonstrating his intelligence and diligence. I had instead selected a theoretical subject—the origin of geosynclines.
The concept geosyncline was invented by James Hall, a nineteenth-century geologist, to designate ancient sites of sediment accumulation that seemed destined to become mountain chains. Hall was the State Paleontologist of New York, and he studied the Paleozoic rocks in the Appalachian Mountains and in the plateau country to the west of the mountains. The mountain rocks, which are deformed, are quite similar to those on the plateau, which are flat. However, Hall found that a rock formation of any given age is several times thicker in the mountains than on the plateau (Figure 1.2); strata seemed to have been crumpled where they are much thicker. Before the sedimentary formations were crumpled during the process of building mountains, they had been laid flat. The bottom of a sedimentary pile should thus be most depressed where the pile is thickest. Such a warped surface had been called a syncline by geologists, and James Hall added geo- to the expression to emphasize its imposing dimensions. European scientists noted, however, that crumpled strata in the mountains were not always thicker than flat strata in plateau country, but the former seemed to have been deposited in deeper water. They too used the expression geosyncline to designate a site that was eventually to become a mountain chain.
The term geosyncline was to become a catchword, and appeared in everyone's theories even though no one seemed to know what a geosyncline was. There were no modern analogues. Instead, people speculated, somewhat idly, on why geosynclines sank, permitting the accumulation of thick piles of sediments. In the short discourse I planned to present orally, I would try to demythify the concept. I had some simple arguments to show that geosynclines are simply depressions on the surface of the earth, such as ocean basins, continental margins, and so on. After sediments were accumulated, the seafloor would subside under the added load, just as guyots sink under the weight of added volcanic piles.
The idea was not new, although I did give it a new twist with some recent data. The idea was also not all that bad; what I said then is still valid today, although I did miss a point or two (see chapter 6). However, it was presumptuous for a young man to tell his seniors the obvious; I grew increasingly nervous as the time of the meeting approached.
At the appointed hour, I went to the General Services Administration Building in Washington, D.C., where the meeting was being held. I was early, half an hour early. Gradually people filed in, and many venerated scientists of the older generation took their seats in the front rows. Hess was to open the meeting and chair the first session. Eight o'clock struck, the hour I was to give my talk, but he was nowhere in sight. As the time passed, 8:05 ... 8:10 ... 8:15 ... 8:20, I sat there and became more and more edgy, gradually losing my nerve. Finally, at about half past eight, Hess ran in and climbed up to the rostrum. Wiping sweat off his brow, he murmured an apology—he had looked for the wrong GSA (Geological Society of America) Building, and nobody seemed to know where it was. (It was in New York City!) Catching his breath, he tried—without remarkable success—to pronounce my name, as he introduced the first speaker. By then I was completely overcome with stage fright. When I stepped before the microphone, I realized that I could hardly find my voice. I stuttered, and had to read my written script in broken sentences. I did finally stagger through, but was met by dead silence at the end of a miserable presentation. It was a "bomb," as they say in show business, and the lack of response was a manifestation of the hostility toward the brash young man. Hess, however, was genuinely sorry; he thought that people remained silent because they did not want to start discussions, as the session had been delayed by his late arrival. He apologized profusely to me after the meeting, when I was blaming myself for my less-than-brilliant "debut."
As the years went by, I learned some self-confidence, while Hess remained modest. He did much for the earth sciences. His idea of seafloor-spreading started a scientific revolution, and his quest for an imaginative research project opened a new era of ocean exploration.
The last time I saw Hess was in the spring of 1969. We had just completed a drilling cruise in the South Atlantic (chapter 5), and I had come to Princeton to discuss the cruise results with my shipboard colleagues. This cruise has achieved fame as the expedition that verified the predictions of the theory first elaborated by Harry Hess. However, Hess was so modest that he actually seemed embarrassed to be proven right. Toward noontime, Hess and I walked from Guyot Hall to the Princeton Faculty Club for lunch. He did not mention the subject of seafloor-spreading, nor did we even discuss our findings. Instead, we chatted about the difficulties of privately endowed universities in the days of high inflation. He had just stepped down as chairman of the department, but he still had many national and international "obligations." He was overworked and seemed tired.
Hess died of a heart attack shortly after my visit. He will always be remembered by us as the one who made the first move that led to one of the most successful undertakings in the earth sciences—the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) of the Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES).
One of Hess's many "obligations" had been to serve on a committee to help select research projects worthy of financial support by the U.S. National Science Foundation. Back in the fifties, when physicists were asking for and getting more and more funds for bigger and better accelerators, geologists seemed to content themselves with pocket money for making geological maps. It was said that Hess and his committee were going over one research application after another on a spring day in 1957. They grew increasingly restless and irritated after finding nothing exciting in the proposals, and began to ask themselves if anything worthwhile in geology was still left to be done.
The heroic age of geology, spanning the last decades of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth century, had long since become a nostalgic memory of a far distant past, an age in which James Hutton founded geology as an observational science, William Smith discovered the value of fossils in ordering strata in temporal sequences, Charles Lyell demythified the book of Genesis and preached uniformitarianism, and Charles Darwin came up with his theory of evolution. It seemed that few discoveries of comparable significance had turned up during the twentieth century. Progress was, however, being made in geophysics, such as the discovery of the Moho.
On 8 October 1909, Yugoslavia was struck by an earthquake whose epicenter was some 25 kilometers south of the village of Papuspsko, near Zagreb. A local geophysicist, Andres Mohorovicic, made a routine study of the time it took the first earthquake waves to reach various registering stations—the so-called first-arrival time.
The shock of an earthquake sends out several different kinds of waves. Some are transmitted by alternately compressing and extending an elastic medium, similar to the way sound waves travel in air. These are called compressional waves, or P-waves. They are the fastest and should be the first registered by a seismograph at any station. In a homogeneous medium, the speed of propagation of the compressional wave, Vp , should be constant. Consequently the first-arrival time t should be directly proportional to the distance between the epicenter and the registering station, S, or
t = S/Vp.
This is, of course, a simple linear relation in Newtonian kinematics that we all learned in middle school. Traveling to a station 200 kilometers from the epicenter should take the wave twice as long as traveling to a station 100 kilometers from the epicenter. Plotting the arrival time against the distance traveled for the stations within 300 kilometers of Zagreb, Mohorovicic obtained a straight line through the origin, illustrating that the simple predicted relation was indeed confirmed by the seismic records (Figure 1.3). As our middle-school physics teacher tells us, the slope of the straight line in this figure, or the travel time divided by distance traveled, is the inverse of the speed of the wave propagation. Mohorovicic's calculations showed that the compressional waves were traveling at a speed of 5 to 6 kilometers per second when they reached those stations.

I was able to attend the Ohio State High School Coach's Clinic this spring with the rest of my high school staff. A lot of things stood out to me at the practice we were allowed to attend. Austin Mack seemed to be open on every single play. Barrett also seemed to have a connection with him. He's still a freshmen, but it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see big things from him this fall. This team may be young, but wow are they talented!

Obviously you didn't watch any of the playoff games. The committees job was supposed to be to give us the 4 BEST teams, not the 4 most deserving.
You left out "giant douche".
What difference does it make when you lose? That's like taking credit for beating a team that was ranked week 1, but has 4 losses at the end of the year.
I've been saying to expand it before it happened. I want first round home games! I want some of the southern schools to have to come north to play!
I seriously can't believe all the people that are saying if you want 8 teams, that you are a sore loser. The Buckeyes didn't handle their business this year,so they aren't in. That is plain and simple. I would still like it expanded to 8 teams. First of all, who is the genius that said lets have 4 teams, when we have 5 power conferences? Somebody is always going to be upset. Let's make it mandatory to have 9 conference games. 2 non conference games. That's still 15 games. 8 teams get in. The 5 conference champs and 3 at large. Still have the committee to rank them. Let's make sure we keep the regular season relevant. The top four get a first round home game.
How about 4th quarter production? I haven't looked at the stats, but it feels like Zeke gets stronger as the game goes. That means something in my opinion.
Lots of good points here!
The Confederate flag has different meanings to different people. That is why is such a touchy subject. NOTHING should fly over the American flag. I don't see a reason to fly the Confederate flag at any government building. I don't like the fact that one crazy person shooting other people triggered a sudden outrage over the flag. It makes it seem fake. I understand that to some people it is a symbol of their "southern heritage".
Like many people have said, this stuff hasn't gone away yet because segregation was happening not long ago. My Granny, still to this day will occasionally say the "N" word. It embarrasses her when she does. She had a "mammy" as a child. She talks very fondly of this black woman. She talks of how much she loved and adored her, but still that word slips out, even when referring to her. I truly don't think she is racist. She was born in Alabama, and that is how she was raised. There are a bunch of people who were raised when segregation was the norm. As the number of these people dwindle, so will that way of thinking.
Maybe then we can move on to getting rid of terms like "African American". Let's all just be Americans.
Splits can make a huge difference.
Are you guys forgetting about the red witch showing up at Castle Black? I'm not worried about Jon... (trying to convince myself)
To borrow a line from Ricky Bobby, "If you don't like Game of Thrones then F@$% you!" I was chuckling to myself about Bosa's new header when I read the line about bringing Shane Morris' broken corpse back. I'll now spend the rest of the morning trying to clean Monster Absolute Zero from the depths of my keyboard. Well played Big Bear, and well played DJ!
I dug this out of retirement to celebrate...
Thanks for the article! Its cool to hear a perspective from somebody fairly close to the situation. I liked hearing about how they had to escort Braxton off the field in high school. I remember talking to Terrelle Pryor's high school coach when I was at a football clinic in Pittsburgh. He said the school had to hire security for practices to keep the autograph hounds away!
I think there are a few points that need to be made, that some people on both sides of the argument seem to forget.
1. Before his injury, Braxton was widely regarded as one of (if not THE) best players in college football.
2. Braxton Miller has not played on a team with as much talent and depth as last years team. This goes for the offense and defense.
3. Braxton's stats improved every year and is comparable to JT and Cardale. Remember his stats were produced on less talented teams.
4. We don't know for sure if Braxton's shoulder will ever be the same again.
5. JT Barrett and Cardale Jones are both very capable QB's.
6. It's a good time to be a Buckeye!
Keep in mind that Braxton had those stats in a very one dimensional offense. He was throwing to a WR corps that Urban Meyer called a clown show. Remember the tweet that Michael Thomas made after the Clemson game? Did anybody disagree with his assessment of our WR's? Not to mention our defense and special teams constantly put our offense in better positions last year. Comparing stats doesn't tell the whole story in my opinion.
First of all, I want to say that I coach HS football here in Ohio. I would like to talk to Coach Ash or Coach Carroll about these techniques. I am all for safer tackling. Your head should not be used as a weapon. But I will say that this seems to go against anything I've ever seen or been taught myself about tackling. I've always seen that the head goes across the ball carrier when tackling. A ball carrier can run through arm tackles, but not through the entire body. This seems to be a lot like arm tackling. Also tackling and rolling the ball carrier on top of you has always been a no-no. I'm always looking to adapt and become a better coach. I'd really like to hear their answers to these questions.
We went undefeated in 2012....just saying! Don't forget that it wasn't too long ago that Coach Meyer referred to our WR corps. as a clown show. It's probably hard to throw a clown open. I'm not going to say that we upgraded at the QB position in 2014. I think all 3 are talented, but don't forget in August last year, Braxton Miller was regarded by many as the best player in college football. Braxton was the starter going into last year, and I have to believe it was because he was the best QB on the team. We will see about this year.
Yeah, but how does Braxton not being a good pro prospect at QB relate to him not being the starter at Ohio State? Do you mean to tell me that all great college QB's aren't NFL Hall of Famers?
Braxton will not make it in the NFL as a QB anyway, use him for his strength, his legs.
What does that have to do with anything?
I'm glad you aren't the coach at tOSU if you base who is starting on their remaining eligibility. As a coach myself, I'm pretty sure Urban will play the player that gives him the best chance to win right now. Also you say that Jones and Barrett is a winning formula. You left out a few key ingredients, such as Zeke, a WR corps that is no longer referred to as a clown show, and the return of the Silver Bullets.
The best player will play. Right now that is Cardale Jones, because he is the only one healthy. If all 3 are healthy, I think it will be Braxton because of his experience and the fact that going into last year he was considered by many to be the best player in college football. You can't deny that the team around Barrett/Jones last year was better than any team Braxton has played with.
The great thing is, I won't be disappointed by whomever is named the starter. This team is amazing!
I appreciate your stats. I think JT is an amazing QB. When his time is finished, he may be undisputed in this discussion. I don't think the stats are a fair comparison though. Would you agree that JT was throwing to a more talented, matured WR group? Finally if you want to talk about dropped balls, I'm pretty sure that we beat MSU and Clemson in 2013 if not for dropped balls.
A bunch of people have suggested Braxton switching to HB/RB. With his biggest drawback being his health/durability, I don't see how he could ever switch to that role and be successful.
My thoughts are that if he is healthy (and that is a big if right now), Braxton will be the starter. I refuse to believe that the only reason he was the starter going in to the 2014 season was because he was the starter in 2013. He was the starter because he was the best player on the roster, maybe the best player in the country. I believe Coach Meyer will play the best person at QB, and if healthy, I think that is Braxton Miller.
Following a recruit and tweeting a recruit is not the same thing. Also, these players are no longer recruits. They are now Buckeyes!

HOUSTON — Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora wouldn't take the blame for costing Conference USA its first-ever spot in the Bowl Championship Series and the millions of dollars that come with it by upsetting Houston in the league title game.
In fact, Fedora says he knows exactly which team should take the spot in the BCS that would have gone to the Cougars if they had stayed unbeaten.
"We didn't cost this conference any money, because we ought to be in a BCS bowl," Fedora said after the 24th-ranked Golden Eagles beat No. 7 Houston 49-28 Saturday. "If Houston's not going, we ought to be going and then everybody would get their money like they want."
Austin Davis threw four touchdown passes and No. 24 Southern Mississippi ruined Houston's perfect season and BCS hopes with the win.
It was star quarterback Case Keenum's last home game for Houston for sure, and could've also been the finale for coach Kevin Sumlin, who has been mentioned as a top candidate for virtually every higher-profile job opening.
The victory should fuel more rumors about Fedora who, like Sumlin, is another hot name linked to various jobs. Fedora, completing his fourth season with the Golden Eagles, is a former offensive coordinator at Florida (2002-04) and Oklahoma State (2005-07) and is from College Station, Texas, where Texas A&M is located.
Fedora wouldn't say if he's interested in or has been contacted by the Aggies or any other school.
"All I've been focusing on is winning a game today," Fedora said. "As a team we talked about not paying attention to any of the things that were going on outside of our football team. Anything that didn't have anything to do with us winning was not worth thinking about."
Houston (12-1) was poised to impress a national-television audience and representatives from the Orange and Sugar Bowl, who attended Saturday's game. Keenum could've also made one last case for an invitation to next week's Heisman Trophy ceremony.
Instead, the Golden Eagles (11-2) turned it into their showcase, shackling Houston's high-powered offense and striking with several big plays of their own to win their first C-USA title game and reach 11 victories for the first time.
They won the title four times before the league realigned into divisions and created a championship game.
"Everybody thought Houston was just going to walk away with this thing and so our guys obviously took objection to that," Fedora said. "They had something to prove. They were going to play with a chip on their shoulders. They wanted everybody to know that Southern Miss is really a good football team."
Only one section of Robertson Stadium remained full as the final seconds ticked off the clock. The wild and excited bunch of Southern Mississippi fans that had traveled to Houston remained in one overstuffed area of the stadium cheering, dancing and celebrating with the Golden Eagles.
Tracey Lampley, who was named the most valuable player, caught two touchdown passes and Southern Miss became the first team to hold Houston, averaging more than 50 per game, below 35 points this season.
Keenum completed 41 of 67 passes for 373 yards and two touchdowns.
"I thought our defense was dominating today," Fedora said. "You take away the trash touchdown at the end and the one that our offense gave them and ... they score 14 points and that's the best offense in the country."
Southern Miss jumped to a 14-0 lead before Keenum finally started clicking midway through the second quarter.
Charles Sims gained 31 yards on a screen pass, and Keenum found Justin Johnson for a 9-yard touchdown pass with 7:48 left in the half.
Keenum went 3 for 3 on the next series, hitting Johnson in stride down the middle for a tying 50-yard touchdown.

Currently, my luck is not as good. My question is simple. Where can I find the plugin on the Internet so that I might download it and install it using the second option of installing from my hard drive?

I released a dropdown menu plugin a while back which has been quite popular.
I've been working on a beta version of it for a few months now and it is nearly ready for release into the WordPress plugins repository as the new stable version.
However ... it isn't just useful as a dropdown menu plugin, I'm also working on a system whereby it can be used for flyouts, sliders, dropboxes and all sorts of other menu types. So the original name for the plugin is misleading.
So ... how do I go about changing the name of the plugin? I can't see any way to do this as the folder name in the repository seems to be set. It also generates the ZIP file with the folder name too.
Or should I submit the new version of the plugin as an entirely new plugin and just depreciate the old one?

I upgraded to WP 3.1.3 yesterday, and I don't know whether this issue is related or is a coincidence, but suddenly, whenever a user outside of the main blog (which is set as the tags blog) updates a post, it is creating a duplicate of the post in the main blog instead of simply updating the original post.
I've been using the WP multi-site setup along with sitewide tags successfully for nearly a year and this is the first time I've encountered this problem.
Here is the main blog: http://mangabookshelf.com/
You won't see duplicate posts there, because I've been deleting them as they occur to keep the front page clean, but it is happening with posts from each of the site's subdomains. Again, I have no proof that this is due to the 3.1.3 upgrade, but the timing does coincide with that update. I realize that I could probably downgrade WordPress to test this, but I wanted to ask about it first, since that's a more laborious process than the automatic upgrade was.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue along with 3.1.3, or has anyone experienced it in the past?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Let me get it out of the way. Yes, I am an Italian American. My name screams it, and if you tune into any ESPN show I am broadcasting, surely it doesn't take more than a quick look to confirm it.
My people have celebrated, and cringed a few times, as pro boxing and our Italian culture have danced together through the last 60 years of American sports history. Willie Pep's sterling defense, Rocky Marciano's undefeated glory, Ray Mancini's heartwarming realization of his father's dreams, Rocky Balboa's Academy Award: That's all good.
The Mafia-boxing connections, the abusive Jake LaMotta, Vinnie Pazienza's name change, Balboa's ignorance: No thanks.
With respect to Joe DiMaggio, Vince Lombardi and Jim Valvano, the truth is baseball, football and basketball don't come close to the Italian-American connection boxing has.
More Italian-Americans have gained elite level success in the ring than on any field or court. But beyond that, it is the way the sport and Italian-American ethnicity seem to blend that constantly fascinates me.
This is a big week of ESPN boxing. A much anticipated "Friday Night Fights" (ESPN, 9 ET) card will rev us up for a "Contender Special" Sunday night (ESPN, 9:30 ET). Both cards are full of established TV fighters. Both main events are headlined by Italian-Americans.
On "Friday Night Fights," junior welterweight Paul Malignaggi (20-0-0, 5 KOs) puts his undefeated record on the line against tough Donald Camarena (16-1-0, 9 KOs). Then Sunday in Providence, "The Contender" star Peter Manfredo Jr. (24-3-0, 10 KOs) will take on recent world super middleweight title challenger Scott Pemberton (29-4-1, 24 KOs).
As is expected, assimilation to America has made it so the children and grandchildren of Italian immigrants don't always exude, identify or align with the characteristics of Italian-American culture. That isn't the case with Paulie and Peter.
These two boxers fight the way most Italian-Americans live. They are extremely passionate, outspoken and entertaining. Think Sinatra meets Everlast.
Manfredo has long feasted on the love affair between his heavily-Italian populated hometown and the fight game. According to the National Italian-American Foundation and the 2000 U.S. Census, some 19 percent of Rhode Island residents claim Italian ancestry. No other state has a higher concentration, by percentage, of Italian Americans.
They supported Pazienza on his way to stardom, and after the 2005 nationally-televised "Contender" series, they are doing the same for Manfredo.
I met with Manfredo before his well-hyped October fight at the Staples Center with Sergio Mora. Among the topics he wanted to discuss was the pride he had in his new trunks. An interlocking "I W" was the theme. "Italian Warrior," he said.
Manfredo is a warrior. He falls right in line with so many Italian-American traits. He puts his family first. As a proud father of two little girls, his only thought is to better their life. He is conscious of his ancestry. He takes great pride in his name, as a proud son of a hardworking Italian father. Manfredo will never back down. He always will give it his best. Not much different from a lot of ringside tales from the 1940s and '50s.
Gugliemo Papaleo and Thomas Barbella (a.k.a. Willie Pep and Rocky Graziano, respectively) would like him. The fact that so many successful Italian-Americans changed their names to conform to the Anglo public opens up a lot of wounds that I won't discuss. They are a little easier to understand for some.
Paul Malignaggi could relate.
He was born into an Italian-American community in Brooklyn but his family immediately moved back to Sicily. At 6 years old, Malignaggi came back to America unable to speak English.
Recently my mother delicately told the story of how, when she first came to New York from Italy, she refused to speak in front of Americans for two years. After being teased by school children, her silence was a cruel self-punishment. My mom went on to explain that, all of sudden one day, she had the courage to speak English and hasn't shut up since. The same is true with Malignaggi.
At 25, Malignaggi hasn't claimed the top prize in his profession, but he is on top of another boxing list. The brash and bold fighter has cemented himself as the pound-for-pound king of talk.
Internet message boards buzz over Malignaggi. I've read threads claiming he is the missing "Growing Up Gotti" brother. He might have a physical resemblence. But he's got a different attitude.
He's more like the lost brother of Arturo Gatti, not the lost son of John Gotti.
Malignaggi is as nice a guy as we deal with in the sport, yet when the TV lights are on him, watch out.
Malignaggi is a polarizing figure. It seems many fans tune in just to root against him. He is flashy in the ring. His defensive skills are based on pure speed and movement.
Meanwhile, Malignaggi's offensive skills seem to mock and jock more than they sock.
Boxing has long paralleled America's growth.
When the Irish swarmed this country, there was a run of shamrock success in the sport. From late 19th century heavyweight champ John L. Sullivan through the "Cinderella Man" James J. Braddock, the Irish made their mark.
The Jewish immigrants gave the sport greatness, also. Barney Ross and Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom were on top. But, as has always been the case, boxing was a way to climb up the economic ladder. It was a way out.
To a certain extent, Italian immigrants also used the sport as a route to a better life. Boxing offered it, they took it.
Yet the Italian-Americans never really left. Today, first and second-generation Italian-American success spans from Fortune 500 CEOs to Supreme Court Justices. Still, my people are in the fight game.And they want to be there.
It begs the question: If the main attraction to boxing is no longer about getting out of the ghetto, then what appeal does it have for Italian-Americans?
I think it's programmed in us. Italian-Americans are passionate people. We love to love and we love to fight. We have more drama in our family dynamics than most made-for-TV movies.
Heck, think about how many popular movies play up the Italian-American element. Boxing is the only sport that really is as raw, confrontational, dramatic, expressive and pure as our own Sunday dinners.
This weekend, Malignaggi and Manfredo will be draped in their Italian pride and their American dreams. They don't have the legendary status of Italian-American warriors of the past, but they do have the same blood running through their veins and fire in their eyes.
"Friday Night Fights" Flashback
Some quick takes after the Feb. 3 edition from Super Bowl XL in Detroit.
• Mary Jo Sanders needs to be on our air again. Some people are telegenic because they are well polished and shine under the lights. The cameras love Sanders because you can see how wonderful of a person she genuinely is. Her athleticism was on display in her TKO of Iva Weston, but her skill was even more impressive. I would love to see a fight between Sanders and Sumya Anani. And I'm sure ESPN would love to make it the televised main event it is worthy of being.
• Buddy McGirt's son, James McGirt Jr., had another walk in the park with a KO victory. Buddy said he wants to take some challenges in 2007 with the middleweight prospect. I think they need to step it up sooner than that. It's time for Junior to learn a little more on the job. It will serve him well to face eight-round type fighters rather than former toughman competitors.
• Koba Gogoladze showed he is very well skilled in his defeat of Antonio Davis. I just don't know if watching Koba makes for great television.
Joe Tessitore is the blow-by-blow announcer on ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights."

Lassen Volcanic National Park Travel Guide: 137 reviews and 344 photos
Lassen Peak is one of the dormant volcanoes in the Cascade Mountain range, which extends from Mount Lassen in California up through the Oregon and Washington to Mount Garibaldi in British Columbia. Because of Lassen's recent eruption during World War I, the landscape in the park is eerily diverse with its old-growth forests, clear mountain streams and lakes, bubbling mudpots, sulphur vents and hissing fumaroles.
- Pros:Rarely crowded, good weather in summer, beautiful scenery, good access to volcanic activity
- Cons:No really suitable bike routes, main road has narrow shoulders and lots of blind turns
- In a nutshell:A good lesson in geology and botany, the Park provides a lot a good information

What a lovely area this is, one I have only just found on vt! We love camping also, and that campground we would love, but minus the Bear for company!
We did not do any hike in Lassen (except Bumpass Hell) as we had so much to visit in the West that we could not visit in depth. We should have staied in California longer !
Beautiful photos of this unusual, rugged and scenic landscape! It must have been fantastic hiking up the trail to the peak of Mt. Lassen. Great information on this National Park.
I'm so glad you went there! I have never been to Lassen. Would love to one of these days!
What a beautiful park... I hope I can visit Lassen Volcanic someday... and I won't forget the chili
I really like Lassen. It is underrated in my opinion. So bears don't like chili? :) From now on this will be my diet when we're hiking in California.
Truly a place to learn geology.... it's definitely on my wishlist...
Nice hiking tips and photos. And I like your definition of "roughing it." (Somehow I missed this park when I was living in California.)
That bottle of Chardonnay and Ceasar salad sounds delightful after a gruelling day in Bumpass Hell! It's nice to have some less frequented National Parks that still have all the amenities.
Oh, I've GOT to check out Bumpass Hell!!

Microsoft demos real-time language translation
New software lets English speakers talk in Mandarin in user's own voice
Microsoft has demoed new software that translates English into Mandarin in real-time, copying the speaker's own voice.
In a video posted online, head of Microsoft research, Rick Rashid, demonstrated how the software works. The clip shows Rashid speaking in English with a Mandarin translation spoken a few seconds later copying the tonality of his own voice.
He said the company hopes to have "systems that can completely break down language barriers" in the next few years.
At the core of the software is a technology called Deep Neural Net (DNN) translation. The technology has already been offered as a commercial service called inCus.
The system records the words in English, translates them into Mandarin and then matches them to a recorded set of words in that language.
Rashid said in a blog post that Microsoft was poised to take the system one step further.
The demo was performed at Microsoft Research Asia's 21st Century Computing event. He said his team had been able to reduce the word error rate for speech by over 30 per cent compared to previous methods.
"This means that, rather than having one word in four or five incorrect, now the error rate is one word in seven or eight," said Rashid.
"While still far from perfect, this is the most dramatic change in accuracy since the introduction of hidden Markov modelling in 1979, and as we add more data to the training we believe that we will get even better results."
He said that we would not have to wait until the 22nd century for a usable equivalent of Star Trek's universal translator.
"We can also hope that as barriers to understanding language are removed, barriers to understanding each other might also be removed," he said.
The demo can be watched in the video below.

Volkswagen Eos ProblemsCheck Engine Light and/or Hesitation Due to Failed High Pressure Fuel Pump
2.0L turbo charged engines may develop a hesitation on acceleration and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light due to a failed high pressure fuel pump or a worn camshaft follower or camshaft. Our technicians tell us that whenever the high pressure fuel pump is replaced the camshaft and the follower should be checked for wear. The camshaft lobe pushes on the follower to operate the high pressure fuel pump. Frequent oil changes and use of synthetic oil may help with this wear issue.
An issue may develop where a window will not roll up after a short pulse down. Our technicians tell us this is a normal condition. Cycling the power door lock followed by the key switch will reset the programmer and restore proper window operation.
Condensation may develop in the heater case which can cause a musty odor from the heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) system. Our technicians tell us the drain system should be checked for debris. In addition, a cleaner is available for the heater case.

Volkswagen Eos RecallsDriver's Frontal Air Bag Inflator Ruptures And Sprays Metal Fragments
The driver's frontal air bag inflator may deploy the air bag with excessive pressure, resulting in the inflator rupturing and causing metal debris to be sprayed onto vehicle occupants. Dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflator free of charge to resolve the concern.
The driver's side air bag may not be powered due to a loss of electrical connection from the clock spring sliding contact in the steering wheel caused by contamination. Dealers will repair the vehicle free of charge.
Connectors for a temperature sensor inside the direct shift gearbox (DSG) transmission may have been insufficiently crimped. They could incorrectly read a high transmission oil temperature, and abruptly shift into neutral. The shift position indicator in the instrument panel would begin to flash and the "Depress Brake Pedal" indicator light will be illuminated to alert the driver to apply the brakes. The abrupt shift could lead to a crash. Volkswagen and Audi dealers will reprogram the transmission control module (TCM) with updated software. The recall began October 20, 2009. The Volkswagen recall number is 37E3/S7 and the Audi recall number is 37E5/J7.

Research Institution:
AbstractToyon Research Corporation proposes to develop an algorithm for the display and visualization of ground vehicle movement predictions based upon sequential Monte Carlo sampling techniques, or particle filters. Ground vehicle movement comprises a vast number of nonlinear elements imposed by operational factors such as terrain, weather, movement characteristics, and tactics that make the prediction problem difficult to formulate. Often such nonlinearities are discarded, but doing so limits the precision of the resulting prediction; an undesired consequence when human operators must make decisions based upon the predictions they receive. Thus, a prediction algorithm is required that provides both a coherent display of the probable movement, and incorporates nonlinear factors that affect the vehicle's motion. Particle filtering methods provide a fitting solution to such an application due to their acceptance of nonlinearities in the dynamic model of the system, and their natural ability to formulate an intuitive visual representation of the uncertainty in the prediction. At the conclusion of Phase I, Toyon will demonstrate a ground vehicle movement prediction algorithm that fuses battlespace information into a particle filter state estimator to provide accurate predicted PDFs for display.

I'm sorry if this question is asked in a different way before. I did my due search effort on Google and StackOverFlow(SOF), but the search terms that I tried haven't returned the answer I was looking for.
The problem is: I have installed Python virtualenv locally (that is, in "~/.local/") because I don't have sudo access to my school machine. The virtualenv now sits in "~/Download/modules/virtualenv-1.9.1/" and when I try to use it, I always have to type in something like:
$ python ~/Download/modules/virtualenv-1.9.1/virtualenv.py --distribute venv
I would like to do something like
$ virtualenv --distribute venv
I know I can add "alias" in "~/.cshrc" (or bash equivalent), but I'm wondering if there is alternative way to do this rather than adding more aliases. Sincere apology if this is a repeated (and naive/beginner) question. As I mentioned before, I wasn't successful in coming up with correct search terms to figure out the solution on Google/SOF. Thank you for your help.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 1999
Running Time: 90
Director: Nick Orleans
Company: Ultimate Pictures
Distribution Companies: Adam & Eve Pictures
Cast: Charlie (I), Dante (I), Shayla LaVeaux, Elena (I), Temptress, Amber Michaels, Stephanie Swift, Alyssa Allure, Alec Metro, Mark Davis, Ian Daniels, Johnny Packwood
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
A tough one. The story, acting and direction may simply frustrate solo strokers, while the action is a little intense for the typical couples. Maybe the best bet is to recommend this one to especially adventurous couples, and wild-eyed fans of LaVeaux.
Shayla LaVeax blows into Pinkville, a wide spot in the proverbial road in which most things have a pink border, a pink tinge or are just plain ol' painted pink, and everybody seems to have been savagely lobotomized by a Mary Kay rep. No matter. Their fucking facilities are still in order, and that's what ultimately saves this production.
The first hint that everything's gonna be all right comes as Ian Daniels and Alyssa Allure rumble through an energetic and agreeably nasty round of the ol' procreative push 'n' pull, which includes Daniel's trouser trunk spending some quality time in Allure's well-traveled posterior portal. But the scene that really sets the screen on fire here is the nasty, nasty, nasty bit of toe-suckin' and butt-fuckin' proffered by Charlie and Dante, which features that deliciously full-bodied, brown-haired girl at her most sultry and voraciously vulpine.
As for headliners LaVeaux and Stephanie Swift, sister Shayla shines in her oral-intensive counter with Mark Davis, while Swift's girl/girl pairing with the usually explosive Elena never really hits on all cylinders.

Over at Faith in Public Life, John Gehring has a sound recommendation for the Archbishop of New York. He wants him to call Rep. Peter King, who is Catholic, and urge him to tone down the anti-Muslim rhetoric and keep his planned hearings on the "radicalization of American Muslims" from turning into an appeal to start a new Crusade. (The first Crusades do not look so pretty in the rear view mirror of history, do they?) Even though King is not technically Archbishop Dolan's congressman, as the President of the USCCB, Dolan should not hesitate to call any congressman. And King's own bishop, Bishop William Murphy, might place a call too. The last thing the country needs is an increase in Islamophobia and the last thing the Church needs is a prominent Catholic politician stoking the flames.
While he is at it, Archbishop Dolan might mention King's desire to gut the 14th Amendment.
