Principal Brian Lyons wiped away sweat from the mild fever threatening to surface as the end of the school year barreled toward him.But he wasn't worried. Surrounding him in the library were fellow administrators and even students to help him introduce new parents to McMillen High School. In his first year leading the campus, Lyons has learned he doesn't always have to carry the load alone.

In new research, Brown University scientists describe the genetic and regulatory factors that compel the male's role in the process. Finding a way to tweak that performance could expand crop cross-breeding possibilities.

NEW DELHI: Human resource development minister Kapil Sibal faces a winter of discontent in Parliament, with the opposition parties suddenly appearing determined to block some of the landmark legislations that he seeks to move. This is likely to further delay the government's stated agenda of education reforms.
The minister had reached out to the Opposition well before the winter session started, after he had a tough time trying to enlist his own party's support to key bills in the monsoon session. The support of the principal opposition in Parliament, the Bharatiya Janata Party, is critical for the passage of bills, especially in the Rajya Sabha where the government does not enjoy a majority.

HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE PRESTRESSED BRIDGE GIRDERS. Edition No. 1
- December 2010
- 196 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
High strength concrete (HSC) is regularly used for prestressed bridge girders in Texas and other states. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 363 (1997) defines HSC as concrete with a compressive strength exceeding 6,000 psi (41 MPa) produced without using exotic materials or techniques. The design provisions for the design of prestressed concrete members according to the AASHTO Standard and LRFD Specifications are based on mechanical properties determined for normal strength concrete (NSC). Therefore, there is a need to evaluate these specifications based on the properties of HSC. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the allowable tensile stresses for HSC prestressed bridge girders. The effects of field curing conditions on the compressive strength and the flexural tensile strength of HSC were determined. The HSC mixtures tested in this study are representative of mixtures used in Phase 1 of this research program (Chompreda 2001). The plant-produced samples from the earlier study were lab cured after the first day (approximately 24 hours). Necessary strength adjustment factors are needed to account for the effect of field curing conditions.

I do not think this document is ready for submission; the content is there but I have to work hard, too hard, to extract it and even then I am not sure if I have understood. It is a question of presentation and style, possibly of target audience. To give but three examples. 1) Abstract. What I think this is saying is Many network management tasks depend on having timely information about traffic. This document describes a framework for traffic sampling. Traffic is sampled at Observation Points, using Selectors, and then exported as a summary Report to one or more Collectors. The Observation Points may be dedicated devices or integral with any networking box. The possible Selectors, which can be configured by the user, have been chosen to suit operation with high-speed interfaces. The Collector may be integral with the Observation Point or remote from it. If I am right, then the document should changed to make this clearer. If I am wrong, then the document should be changed to make what it is clearer:-) 2) A glossary of terms (pp4-6) is useful. Most reference books I use have one, but at the back, for reference, not in the middle of the flow of what I am trying to comprehend. And with most glossaries I know where to look for what I want because I can divine the order eg alphabetical or of importance or .... Here, I know not where to look. First comes Observation Point, clearly important. If I understand aright, then equal in importance are Collectors and Selectors but to get to these I have to go through Observed Packet Stream: Packet Stream: Selection Process: Packet Content: Selection State: (ah-ha) Selector: Composite Selection Process: Primitive Selection Process: Composite Selector: Primitive Selector: Reporting Process: Report Stream: (still with me?) Packet Reports: Report Interpretation: Measurement Process: Export Process: Collector: (gotcha) why? what is this order aimed at? and why the glossary here in the midst of the document? 3) The diagram on pp 6/7 is most helpful or it would be if it were on a page. Split across two does make it far harder to use (as I found it a hotel room in Minneapols where I first read it). Obvious perhaps but this has not been changed when it could have been by now. As I said, but three examples. The underlying issues apply to many if not most of the paragraphs in the I-D. I think that the document is useful once what is in the document has been understood; it is not useful if I want to know what PSAMP is about. And a framework document should be - IMO - an introduction, a level one not a level three document.

CHARLESTON - County officials are looking for some good temporary help in the assessor's office.
County Assessor W.R. "Bill" Thompson advised commissioners during their regular meeting Thursday that he has received a "concern letter" from the State Tax Commission. He explained the STC's concern is that property in Mississippi County may be undervalued for tax assessment.
Thompson said the state has up until this point been "lenient" because of the loss of records when the old courthouse burned Feb. 10, 1997. He said they are now asking for recalculation of property values to be completed by the time the assessment books close in May.
While the assessor's office has new hardware and software in place, it still lacks sales information data in the system, Thompson said. He estimated it would take "close to two years to get all this stuff in" using only his regular staff.
"I need additional staff," Thompson said. "I see the need and that's the reason I'm here asking." He assured commissioners the extra staff would be "absolutely temporary."
Sales information data will "bring the county records current," according to Thompson, and will "establish the going value of property in neighborhoods."
In addition to pacifying the State Tax Commission, having the data entered would make his office run smoother, Thompson said.
Thompson said the data entry training is time demanding, so they don't want a lot of turnover. "It's going to be data entry and you can't get more boring than that," he said. Officials estimated the job may take two employees working 20-25 hours each per week six months to finish the project with the regular staff contributing to the effort when able.
Thompson suggested finding a couple of grandmothers interested in working part time. Grandmothers would probably not be interested in working 40 hours, Thompson reasoned: "Their priorities are on their grandchildren."
Commissioner Homer Oliver pointed out that "high school kids are computer literate."
Thompson said his initial rough estimate on the labor cost was about $12,000 but soon determined it would be "well over that."
Blumenberg estimated it would be between $15,000 and $20,000. Seasonal employees are not eligible for all the benefits full-time county employees receive, which should keep the cost down somewhat, according to County Clerk Junior DeLay.
Commissioners asked Thompson to determine for sure how many additional employees he will need and decide on the pay rate.
Thompson said he does wonder "why the state is pushing so hard when we know we're in an economic crunch."
In other Mississippi County news:
* Commissioners discussed Tuesday's grand opening of the Alco store in the old Wal-Mart building.
"I don't think you could've put another car in the parking lot," Commissioner Martin Lucas said.
"I saw several Illinois license plates," DeLay said.
Oliver said Alco's sales tax revenue hopefully will help offset the loss of revenue from Wally's Chew Chew restaurant at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston until it is rebuilt after it burned recently.
Blumenberg said the county's sales tax revenue looks like it will end up about 4.5 to 5 percent higher that last year.
* About 700-800 tires were gathered at the county shed toward the next pickup by the Bootheel Solid Waste District, according to commissioners. The district will arrange a pickup for a minimum of 1,500 tires.
* The County Commission will not meet next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
* Kathy Walters of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development met with commissioners to bring them "up-to-date."
She asked if there are "any organizations to talk to about our programs." If so, Walters said, "give me their names or tell them to call me."
Walters said Rural Development mostly likes to promote its housing programs. "We've got a lot of substandard housing with low income elderly living in it," she said.
Providing assistance for the purchase of fire truck grants and storm sirens are also popular Rural Development programs, according to Walters.
Commissioners said they are interested in the storm siren program as sirens are needed at Bertrand, Wilson City, Anniston and Wyatt.
Walters advised Bertrand no longer qualifies for 75 percent grant programs due to its median income but qualifies for 35 percent in grants, while Wilson City, Anniston and Wyatt still qualify for 75 percent grant assistance.
"I think you need to do one at the airport," she said of the storm sirens. "Maybe the businesses out there can contribute to it."

Crowd Pleasers, Critic-Approved: Proenza Schouler
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the designers behind Proenza Schouler, have mesmerized the fashion world with women's wear that manages to please both shoppers and fashion editors.
Read more about the designers and their Spring 2012 collection
That's a tricky feat, which they accomplish with close attention to the shapes and proportions of their clothing – and some wacky ideas that leave fashion show audiences something to puzzle out.
The Look: A shag run carpet covering the warehouse floor set the tone for something late-mid-century, but eel-skin dresses and skirts were a positively futuristic take on familiar clothing silhouettes.
The Tone: The earthen brown and black color scheme, and some tiger-stripey prints, augmented the African safari theme we've been feeling this week from Michael Kors to Donna Karan. But subtly.
Micro-trend: Several looks had skirts that appeared to hang from the derriere, rather than the hips or waist, because they were attached to a length of unmatched fabric that created the top of the skirt. Thom Browne played with the same idea.
Wait two years and let's see if this one hits mid-America.

'Better streets will make Delhi safer for women'
From the article:
Another survey showed 42% women were harassed while waiting for public transport. "We have suggested sites for hawkers near bus stops to ensure these areas are not isolated," says Kalpana Viswanath of Gender Inclusive Cities Programme.
The latest official crime statistics confirms what everybody know s about Delhi: that it is India's rape capital. But recent studies show that by tweaking urban design and infrastructure - something as simple as ensuring wider pavements and closing cigarette shops near busstops - could make Delhi safer for women. Other measures, like ensuring safer public transport and busy streets, could come later.
Recall recurring incidents of women being pulled into moving cars and stalked on streets, where wider pavements could offer women an escape route. When women are confronted by a group of men walking towards them on a narrow pavement, they often step onto the road to escape being brushed past, leaving them vulnerable to passing cars and men on two-wheelers. Wider pavements would offer more room to manoeuvre.
Research by Jagori, an organization studying gender and space in Delhi, along with the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women, shows that women feel unsafe and have repeatedly reported incidents of sexual harassment on the dug-up, poorly-lit pavements around Delhi University (North Campus). The result: women do not stay late in the library or laboratories, even though these facilities are open in the evening. Improving the infrastructure around the campus would automatically ensure women access these resources.

MANY CLINICIANS have had the experience of prescribing a sulfonamide drug for the treatment of a urinary tract infection with gratifying clinical results, only to receive, several days later, a bacterial sensitivity report, alleging the infecting organism to be sulfonamide-resistant. Such disparity between laboratory estimation of bacterial resistance to sulfonamides and the clinically curative action of these drugs is a source of insecurity to clinicians, for clinicians are constantly admonished to prescribe appropriate or specific chemotherapy in accordance with laboratory-determined bacterial sensitivity. A degree of fortitude, of folly, or of both, is required of the clinician who prescribes a drug that has been reported by the laboratory to be ineffective as an inhibitor of the bacteria causing the infection he wishes to control. More conservative clinicians eliminate sulfonamides from consideration and find refuge in the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Possible explanations for this phenomenon of clinic-laboratory dissociation are laboratory

Manchester United Message Board

stats-the season so far
Rooney is the top scorer in the Premiership with 20 goals. He equalled the tally of the highest scorer of last season, Nicolas Anelka, after just 23 games.
Only Cesc Fabregas has more assists than Ryan Giggs in the league this season, although Fabregas has had far more minutes on the pitch.
Manchester United have the second best home record in the league, winning 10 of our 12 games and picking up a total of 31 points, 3 less than Chelsea.
Dimitar Berbatov has lost 2 tackles this season, putting him on a par with Robin van Persie. Rooney (5), Drogba (5), Tevez (6) and Dirk Kuyt (16) have all lost more.
Antonio Valencia makes the top ten for his number of assists this season and has scored more goals than James Milner, Aaron Lennon, Ashley Young, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joe Cole.
Our player with the most fouls to his name is Patrice Evra with 27. 48 players in the league have committed more fouls than him, including Andrey Arshavin, Peter Crouch, Didier Drogba, Kieran Richardson, Carlton Cole and obviously, Kevin Davies.
Manchester United have the best away record in the league, winning 7 of our 12 games on the road and picking up 22 points.
Despite committing just 20 fouls, ranking him 95th, on a par with Dimitar Berbatov, of the most fouls committed this season, Paul Scholes has the second highest number of yellow cards. Tim Cahill, who is 6 fouls short of committing treble the amount of Scholes, has 2 fewer bookings.
Patrice Evra is our most fouled player after being fouled 37 times, which is more than Wright-Phillips, Torres or Tevez.
On average, Manchester United have scored 2.33 goals per game (0.54 more goals per game than last season) which puts them behind Chelsea (2.47 goals a game) and Arsenal (2.50 goals a game).
Last season, 4 of Ronaldo's 18 goals came from penalties. This season, 4 of Rooney's 20 goals have come from penalties.
Manchester United have won all 15 games where they have scored first, scoring 48 and conceding 7. They have won just 2 of the 9 games they have played when the opposition scored first.
If games finished at half time, United would be 5th on 38 points. We have secured an additional 15 points in the second half of games.
Only Frank Lampard (71) has created more chances than Antonio Valencia (59) this season.
Manchester United have a better record than any other side against teams in the top half of the table, winning 7 of the 11 games played.
Patrice Evra has played in all 24 of our league games this season.
The most popular time for United to score this season has been between 76 and 90 minutes, with 15 goals being scored in this time. Rooney has scored 5 goals during this time period.
Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov are our most fouled forwards with 22 each.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

yes but this plastic fan has been at 5 of the 11 times we have collected the prem trophy, thats more than cfc has won in their history,
so how about you pop yourself back over to the board of fidelity and talk about the very slippery jt.
theres a good lad.
Nice selection, but what does "Dimitar Berbatov has lost 2 tackles this season" mean?

A Yahoo! User Feb 2, 2010 23:36 Flag
im not too sure but i should think it means he has only lost 2 tackles this season, that being he has won the 1 lol, whoever compiled these stats needs to be a bit more concise but should imagine it means challenges won. or lost.

"The phone program was started under Ronald Reagan." I'll give you that one, PARTIALLY. The program that Reagan started was to give those without phone service access to 911 in case of emergency. They were given 10 minutes of time per month. Obama has exploded the program and expanded those who are eligible. They get 250 minutes/1000 texts per month. This is not exactly what Reagan had in mind. MY true colors: personal responsibility, thank you!

"Well how many elections do want to give them?"
How about long enough to put a system on line where people can actually sign up? Or long enough not to need a one year small business exemption? Or a permanent exemption for Congress and their staffers? Or exemptions for selected unions?
Face it, they don't seem to know what they are doing or what the effects of this will be. But, full steam ahead with no negotiation, well except for those mentioned above.
Even those in DC trying to defund it don't understand it.

MTOMTO - Well how many elections do want to give them? The bill was passed well prior to the 2010 elections. I'd say 3 years was long enough to get informed....Wouldn't you? When the Democrats retain the Presidency in 2016 will that be good enough? Stonewall - The personal responsibility I am referring to is the Individual Mandate penalty. I'm tired of covering for people who can afford insurance, don't get and then have me cover all their unpaid bills through higher rates. You showed your true colors though with your Obama phone remark. The phone program was started under Ronald Reagan.

There is no desire in Washington to lower healthcare costs. The lobbyist from the insurance companies and the lawyers see to that. Free enterprise would bring down the cost. The government is preventing that from happening. They prohibit the selling of insurance across state lines, this along with refusing to support tort reform are the real reasons there is no true competition in the insurance industry. Get rid of every politician that has been in office more than two terms, and the stink level will lower.

"The Affordable Care Act was on the ballot in 2012. If a majority of the Country considered it to be such a significant issue they would have thrown out the President."
"You have to pass the bill to find out what is in the bill." Do you really believe that the majority of uninformed voters would have read or even researched the ACA before the 2012 election?

st0ney (may I call you st0ney?)
I have admitted before that I do not believe the ACA can answer all of the problems with healthcare.
The next question should be, "why then Rancor do you support it?"
That's a great question.
For one thing we NEED to try something different than what we have been doing... it just wasn't working and this is the first credible step twards doing so in a very long time.
Privatizing healthcare has had its chance... companies are failing to work for the mutual benefit of the people.
I understand your concern that this moves us twards socialism and we should approach this carefully. But corporations have become the new aristocracy and that scares me more.

Brazil, how can it be called "personal responsibility" when someone else is paying for it? "Personal" means that you take care of things yourself without outside (read "government") interference. I think EVERY foodstamp purchase should be made public, since it's paid for with public funds. All publicly funded medical procedures should be posted in the paper. Public housing should be available for inspection by any taxpayer at any time to ensure it's not being destroyed. Texts/conversations made on ObamaPhones should be published. You want privacy, pay for it with YOUR private funds. There is no "personal" in socialism.

Rep. Kelly has shown himself to be under the spell of the teapartiers who are to blame for this current state of affairs. GT is my Congressman and he (so far) has shown a lack of leadership to rally his people and pass a clean CR. Both gentlemen are disappointing; showing a lack of common sense to do what is best for the entire country. Be sure to remember this at polls next time.

Sad to say but the majority of the American voters are uninformed about the issues. This applies across the board to both Democrats and republicans. To prove this point there was a survey taken not to long ago asking which healthcare plan people thought was the best one or the one they supported. The question people were ask was, "What healthcare plan is better, The Affordable care act" or "Obamacare"? Surprisingly more people supported the ACA than Obamacare….it was interesting to see there response when the were informed they were the same thing.
Yeap, and there are you that think man is going to fix the problems that man has created….now that really is scary.

The individual mandate is the tax not the entire legislation. As for Mr. Kolacharno the same could be said for you "There you go again". The Affordable Care Act was on the ballot in 2012. If a majority of the Country considered it to be such a significant issue they would have thrown out the President. Last I looked he won by several million votes. Your party showed zero leadership for 8 years under Bush on health care, letting a huge problem get even worse so you shouldn't be lecturing someone who did. I love the individual mandate. I'm sick of completely subsidizing insurance costs for those that can afford to pay but don't. It's called personal responsibility.

From Physics 111-Lab Wiki
Professor Donald A. Glaser was a master of experimental sciences throughout his career. Born in Cleveland and educated at Case Institute of Technology, he earned a doctorate at Caltech and taught at the University of Michigan before accepting a post at UC Berkeley in 1959. Early in his career, Dr. Glaser experimented with ways to make the workings of sub-atomic particles visible. For this research and his subsequent invention of the bubble chamber, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1960. He then began exploring the new field of molecular biology, improving techniques for working with bacterial phages, bacteria, and mammalian cells. By designing equipment to automate his experiments and scale them up, he could now run thousands of experiments simultaneously, generating enough data to move the science forward. Recognizing the implications for medicine, Dr. Glaser and two friends created the pioneering biotech company Cetus Corporation in 1971, thus launching the genetic engineering industry.
Later in his career Dr. Glaser continued his experimental research, developing mathematical models for understanding fundamental processes of human vision. Throughout his life he balanced scientific work with an equally passionate interest in classical music, playing viola in chamber music ensembles wherever he went. Avidly curious, innovative, and devoted to the advancement of scientific knowledge, Dr. Glaser was a much sought-after consultant and advisor before his death in 2013.
Physics 111 experimentation laboratory is an intensive 3-unit laboratory course for 3rd- and 4th-year physics students at the University of California, Berkeley. It follows the Physics 111 Instrumentation Laboratory , which introduces students to electronics, measurement techniques, signal processing, computerized data acquisition, and control. With these tools, students in the Advanced Lab section of Physics 111 undertake four experiments, each taking 2-4 weeks to perform. The students select these experiments from 20 or so experiments permanently set up in the Lab. They represent a wide range of topics and techniques used in experimental physics. Many of the experiments replicate Nobel prize-winning studies and all are designed to develop skills essential to research.
What to do First
- NOTE 1: To reduce overhead and risk of getting inconsistent data, you must make sure that you have blocks of consecutive afternoons to complete some of the experiments (see the list of available experiments for this requirement Experiment_Signups).
- See the list of experiments to choose
- NOTE 2: All students log into bCourses and complete the Signature Card then submit it before you come to the Lab. You must complete this before starting anything in the Lab.
- NOTE 3: All students come to the introduction meeting on the first Day of Class in 286 LeConte Hall at 1:00 PM.
- NOTE 4: Each student must have your picture available in the University of California at Berkeley's bCourses site. If NOT you must then turn in a PASSPORT PHOTO (not your passport but an actual passport photo) on the first day of Lab for security purposes.
- NOTE 5: All Advanced Lab Students are required to do the Error Analysis Exercise within the first week. (see due dates)
- Latex templates are located on the bCourses site under files.
Attention: There is NO eating or drinking in the 111-Lab anywhere, except in room 282 and 286 LeConte on the benches with the BLUE strip around it. Thank You the Staff.

Definition of caliph in English:
The chief Muslim civil and religious ruler, regarded as the successor of Muhammad. The caliph ruled in Baghdad until 1258 and then in Egypt until the Ottoman conquest of 1517; the title was then held by the Ottoman sultans until it was abolished in 1924 by Atatürk.
Example sentences
- The Omayyad dynasty of caliphs ruled from Damascus until 750, when Shiite Muslims, who descended from the caliph Ali, massacred the Omayyad family.
- In the 7th century the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, and his successors, the Umayyad caliphs, spread Islam from India to Spain.
- The caliphs (successors of The Prophet Muhammad) ruled that couples should not be separate for more than 4 months without permission, and if they were it was grounds for divorce.
Late Middle English: from Old French caliphe, from Arabic ḵalīfa meaning 'deputy (of God') (from the title ḵalīfat Allāh), or meaning 'successor (of Muhammad)' (from the title ḵalīfat rasūl Allāh 'of the Messenger of God)', from ḵalafa 'succeed'.

Read All of Amandas Journey
Entry Two
Okay, I have a confession to make. Dh and I are not preventing a pregnancy. I know that I ovulated on Sunday 10/27. I will admit that Dh and I did BD (had sex). I know the doctor told us to wait 2 cycles, but it is so hard to think of waiting. We have tried for so long and to actually try and prevent a pregnancy is just unthinkable. It is probably stupid of us to do this. But I know some people will understand.
This is where it is frustrating when you hear so many different opinions on how long to wait. I will say that I do not have much faith in my OB. He is so distant. He really has no bedside manner. He never did say he was sorry about the miscarriage. When I was in for my exam I felt like a number not a person. I have already talked to a friend about her OB. She is an L&D nurse at the hospital I want to delver at next.
Why is it so hard to find an OB that you can get a bit personal with? Why do most doctors treat you like numbers nowadays? Where is that personal 1 on 1 time? It is all gone. Gone because of patient overload, messed up insurance companies, and frivolous lawsuits (okay, I will get off my soap box now).
We had a wonderful time last night for Halloween. Jim and I took Emilee to Jennifer's (mom2batman) house for "tick teating." Emilee did wonderful. She had so much fun and we had so much fun watching her. She also got way to much candy. I have been "helping" her eat some.
Jim and I have been doing okay lately. We have been having some rough patches here and there. Mainly just stupid fights. I guess we are just both so stubborn and it causes a lot of conflicts. I know I have been stressed out, so that contributes to things also. I just have a really short fuse and he knows all the right buttons to push. I love him with all my heart but sometimes we just don't like each other. Make sense? Emilee has been amazing us every day. She is growing up so fast. I swear she says a new word every day. I love my child so much it hurts sometimes. I find myself looking at her and I end up just crying.
We waited so long for her that someday it still feels like a dream. I just hope we will be able to give her a brother or sister soon. I want them to be close in age. My sisters are 6 and 8 years older than me. It was hard growing up because of the age gap. They never wanted to play with their baby sister. It felt at times like I was an only child. I am grateful now that I am close to both of them. I want my children to be close from little up. Now I know there will be the normal sibling problems but I don't care.

Long after giving a title to her new serious comic book, On the Media co-host Brooke Gladstone is having to explain it away. When forced into giddy sound-bite mode on The Colbert Report July 26, she was quick to say that The Influencing Machine doesn't follow the alarmist line you'd expect.
"This title is what I want to fight — the popular notion that the media are controlling our minds," she said. "It's really a mirror."
Calling the book "Our Harmless Media Lapdog" wouldn't have fit the book, either. More like "The Pandering Machine," because Gladstone offers plenty of evidence that journalists, in their desire to please audiences, do plenty of damage by cheerleading wars and ignoring unpleasant developments below the surface of public life.
Gladstone explained during an earlier bookstore appearance that the book's title is ironic, like David Halberstam's The Best and the Brightest, which chronicled some major screw-ups by JFK's elite White House posse.
She was speaking and signing copies of the book at Washington's Politics & Prose in June, after W.W. Norton & Co. released The Influencing Machine in a pizza-resistant easy-cleanup cover. A Norton spokesperson said an iPad version is planned. The book's also available on Kindle.
I must disclose that I came to see her as a Gladstone fan, who enjoyed working with her at Current, years ago when Larry Grossman and Frank Mankiewicz strode the earth as PBS and NPR presidents respectively.
Because she and co-host Bob Garfield make On the Media as entertaining as it is probingly informative, it's not entirely surprising that Gladstone chose the comic-book format for her serious-and-funny nonfiction.
She tried to give the book a connection with readers as intimate as the bond between radio hosts and listeners, embodying her voice and humor in an omnipresent ink-and-pen narrator — a curly-headed caricature of herself that shape-shifts from the toppling statue of Sadaam Hussein to Elsa Lanchester in her "Bride of Frankenstein" hairdo. (To get Gladstone's face just right, illustrator Josh Neufeld tried a half-dozen characterizations she could choose among, including one that she thought looked way too much like the star of the old comic strip "Nancy.")
However, the text in the speech bubbles isn't radio writing, paced for listeners' real-time digestion. The quotes and her remarks are as dense as haiku or dialogue from "Doonesbury."
For the pictures, she put Neufeld through a slalom course of drawing challenges, veering from solemn landscapes of battlefield carnage to caricatures of umpteen middle-aged professors of media theory. Harvard scholar Yochai Benkler comes out best of the lot, inserted in a tableaux inspired by Henri Matisse, dancing in a joyous circle with naked ladies.
Readers might assume that Gladstone compressed a conventional sheaf of nonfiction pages into comic-book style because she had suddenly realized what a narrow slice of the population would ever plow through the book. It wasn't like that.
She had a dream of speaking in word bubbles and a DC Comics contract to deliver a sci-fi graphic novel. But the plot hadn't jelled in three years' work, she told me. After switching to a nonfiction subject she knows well, the book was done in less than two.
Loyal On the Media listeners will recognize favorite bits from the show, such as Scientific American Editor John Rennie's bitterly ironic column about science nonbelievers, and the piece about the casual origins of widely repeated factoids, such as the estimated numbers of Internet predators, satanic murders and child abductions (all 50,000 a year and questionable).
To connect these recent controversies in a long, long-term view, Gladstone dived into history, where she finds occasional chasms between the reported news and what actually happened. And she asks scientists how the human brain perceives and remembers (or not) these things — which seems to be the missing link in understanding media.
"Once I started writing, I searched for primary sources to support my points and found myself encountering an endless series of fascinating things," she told John Hogan of Graphic Novel Reporter. "I had an outline, but I started each writing day with the expectation that I would wind up going down a rabbit hole — which eventually led to William James, prehistoric man, Dante's Inferno ... Yeats ... the Singularity ..."
For example, she revisits an analysis cited in On the Media's programs in March about political bias: the insight from political scientist Daniel Hallin that journalists tend to give different treatment to news subjects that he groups in three spheres:
- Matters of community consensus that are seldom questioned or challenged.
- Legitimate controversies that are ripe for examination, which Gladstone calls "journalism's sweet spot."
- Opinions on the deviant outer fringe, which mainstream journalists and their audiences "reject as unworthy of being heard."
Last year's ridiculed fringe opinions, of course, sometimes become today's debatable subject and tomorrow's consensus, as Gladstone demonstrates in this two-page excerpt by applying Hallin's analysis to a New York Times dispatch from 1909, in which the era's profoundly racist assumptions restrict what the reporter considers to be legitimate controversies.
The sequence is part of Gladstone's prolonged wrestling match with Objectivity, which she treats as an unattainable ideal that came into favor in American journalism during the last century because growing newspapers and broadcast networks wanted enormous, broad audiences to support their growing costs.
This thing for Objectivity has been a historical aberration, Gladstone says, and the splintering media are returning to their old ways of courting narrower audiences.
Not that journalists are required to indulge in dishonesty, underestimate their audiences or surrender to bias.
At no extra charge, the book provides a pocketable list of biases that often plague journalists. Gladstone admits to being bored with political bias, which is easy for everyone to see differently. She's more concerned with biases toward:
- Novelty. "News needs conflict and momentum. It needs to be new. That's why news outlets too rarely follow up on stories they've already reported." This is Commercial Bias, which is often used as a basic argument for nonprofit and noncommercial media, though Gladstone doesn't get into that.
- The status quo. "Human beings tend to oppose change unless the benefits are guaranteed to be huge — and the risks minuscule."
- High-ranking sources who give journalists access to the halls of power. "Antagonize power and the door is barred," Gladstone writes. "When you see the phrase 'senior administration official,' somebody has struck a deal."
- A visual hook. The Washington Post reported torture of terrorism suspects on its front page in 2000, Gladstone reminds us, but it didn't become a widespread issue until photos were leaked from Abu Ghraib in 2004.
- An appealing narrativewith prefab characters and plot arcs. "My favorite bias," says Gladstone. When the statue of Sadaam Hussein was toppled in Baghdad, the tape of the expected iconic moment was replayed every few minutes on U.S. cable news networks. Viewers didn't see the U.S. marine providing tools to the small crowd or the relative sparseness of the crowd in the vast plaza.Reports on science, with its ongoing reconsideration, often fail to fit popular narrative lines, she says. Science is a process that often has no clear beginning or end within sight — "all middle."
- Equal coverage of unequal assertions. Media afflicted with Fairness Bias are so eager to appear balanced that they distort their reports — for example, by repeating the trumped-up Swift Boat charges against John Kerry.
- War coverage that favors the home team. "Every media bias shows up in war reporting, in spades." The government packages an entire narrative, supplying "the plot, the threat, and the enemy's depravity."
- Bad news. "We are wired to care about anything that even remotely threatens us — so emphasizing bad news is good business." This naturally goes into overdrive in wartime.
"Which bias is the worst?" Stephen Colbert asked Gladstone on his news-comedy show.
The bias of news media and news consumers toward bad news, she replied, because it "makes you think the world is much scarier than it is, and that's a very bad thing."
Colbert looked concerned.
"How bad?" he asked. "Will it kill us?"

A cartoon book gets a cartoon trailer
In an animation of her cartoon avatar, Gladstone describes an early appearance of the "influencing machine" idea, on the couch of a Middle-Europe psychiatrist. The trailer for the book was animated by Benjamin Arthur with sound design by Jonathan Arthur.
What's regarded as a legitimate controversy for journalists to explore?
On the Media was one of a slate of successful national programs launched by WNYC in the past decade under President Laura Walker, 2004.
With a push from Ira Glass, Gladstone and On the Media looked at the familiar "liberal bias" accusations against public radio, 2011.

Ready for the rematch: Soto-Karass believes he beat Jones (23-0, 18 KOs) but he says he could have performed better had he been more active going into the first fight.
"I only had one fight the year before the Jones fight, and that was a two-round No Contest (vs. Gabriel Martinez)," he said. "I was heavy at the start of that camp because I had been out of the ring for six months, but I feel better prepared for this fight."
Soto-Karass kept his weight down over the holidays and has been working out with larger sparring partners than he did for the first fight with the athletic 6-foot boxer-puncher form Philadelphia.
"He was a lot bigger and stronger than I thought he was, but that won't change the way I fight him the second time around," said Soto-Karass, who absorbed a frightful beating from Jones in the second round but survived and took the fight to the tuckered-out boxer for the rest of the fight.
"Now Mike Jones knows who he's got in front of him," Soto-Karass continued. "He thought it would be a walkover the first time. He was wrong and I think he's going to be more cautious this time. He's not going to step to me, but on my part, I'm going to make it a war."
Sparring partner's take: Reece Bennett, an amateur light heavyweight from San Clemente, Calif., has sparred with Soto-Karass three or four times a week for the past five weeks.
Bennett said he has been most impressed by Soto-Karass' determination and fitness.
"It's just the pure drive he has," Bennett said. "I've hit him with hard shots before … and I outweigh him by 20 pounds. He just takes 'em and comes back twice as hard. I slow down after eight rounds; he's getting stronger and stronger.
"He's Mexican. I can't really explain it in any other way. He's definitely ready (for Jones)."
Bennett also said that Soto-Karass can hurt you.
"I don't think his (number of) knockouts represents his actual power," he said. "He'll break you down and keep breaking you down. I think that's why he's such a good pro fighter. The longer it goes, the other guys wear down and he's just getting the steam going."
Bennett, who is trained by Jesse Reid, is grateful for the opportunity to work with Soto-Karass.
"I hope I get another opportunity to spar with him again like I have been because I've improved exponentially," he said. "What did I learn? I learned how to survive, that's for sure. And one of the biggest things is confidence. I'm still amateur but I'm able to step in there with a top pro who hopefully is ready to win a title soon.
"I go into my (amateur) fights knowing that my sparring sessions were much harder. Of course, I still take them seriously but I'm more relaxed, more confident."

In a TV ad, McCain says Obama "lied" about his association with William Ayers, a former bomb-setting, anti-war radical from the 1960s and '70s. We find McCain's claim to be groundless. New details have recently come to light, but nothing Obama said previously has been shown to be false.
In a Web ad and in repeated attacks from the stump, McCain describes the two as associates, and Palin claims they "pal around" together. But so far as is known, their relationship was never very close. An Obama spokesman says they last saw each other in a chance encounter on the street more than a year ago.
McCain says in an Internet ad that the two "ran a radical 'education' foundation" in Chicago. But the supposedly "radical" group was supported by a Republican governor and included on its board prominent local civic leaders, including one former Nixon administration official who has given $1,500 to McCain's campaign this year. Education Week says the group's work "reflected mainstream thinking" among school reformers. The group was the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, started by a $49 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation, which was established by the publisher Walter Annenberg, a prominent Republican whose widow, Leonore, is a contributor to the McCain campaign.
(FactCheck.org, which is nonpartisan, also receives funding from the Annenberg Foundation. But we are in no way connected to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which finished its work long before we came into being in late 2003.)
For full details, please read on to our Analysis section.
Sen. John McCain has dialed up his attacks on Sen. Barack Obama's past association with former Weather Underground activist Bill Ayers. He released a 30-second TV spot Oct. 10 claiming Obama "lied" about Ayers. A day earlier he announced a 90-second Internet ad claiming that Obama and Ayers "ran a radical education foundation together" and suggesting Obama was being untruthful.
Groundless, False, Dubious
We find McCain's accusation that Obama "lied" to be groundless. It is true that recently released records show half a dozen or so more meetings between the two men than were previously known, but Obama never denied working with Ayers.
Other claims are seriously misleading. The education project described in the Web ad, far from being "radical," had the support of the Republican governor and was run by a board that included prominent local leaders, including one Republican who has donated $1,500 to McCain's campaign this year. The project is described by Education Week as reflecting "mainstream thinking" about school reform.
Despite the newly released records, there's still no evidence of a deep or strong "friendship" with Ayers, a former radical anti-war protester whose actions in the 1960s and '70s Obama has called "detestable" and "despicable."
Even the description of Ayers as a "terrorist" is a matter of interpretation. Setting off bombs can fairly be described as terrorism even when they are intended to cause only property damage, which is what Ayers has admitted doing in his youth. But for nearly three decades since, Ayers has lived the relatively quiet life of an educator. It would be correct to call him a "former terrorist," and an "unapologetic" one at that. But if McCain means the word "terrorist" to invoke images of 9/11, he's being misleading; Ayers is no Osama bin Laden now, and never was.

Reframing Rights from the Ground Up: The Contribution of the New U.N. Law of Self-Determination to Recovering the Principle of Sociability on the Way to a Relational Theory of International Human Rights
Howard J. Vogel
Hamline University - School of Law
January 1, 2006
Temple International & Comparative Law Journal, Vol. 20, p. 443, 2006
The Dutch lawyer and theologian Hugo Grotius had a vision of "true international society" in his "principle of sociability." This article argues looks at the ongoing emergence of recognition for international human rights with this vision of Grotius in mind. The author argues that (1) the idea of human rights is already in the process of being reframed through the concrete practice of rights talk on the ground in the development of the new U.N. law of self-determination; (2) this important development is reflected in the theories of scholars currently writing about the right to self-determination; and (3) these developments invite us to construct a relational theory of human rights by taking the principle of internal relations of Process Thought seriously as a way to recover Grotius' principle of sociability as originally envisioned 350 years ago.

Friday! And everything that comes with it.
To add to the melancholia of this week, it's Nicholas' birthday today; and I can't remember the exact day, but it was this week four years ago that I lost one of the motherly figures in my life (a manager at work when I was living in Philadelphia, thieving food and living wild) in a car crash. Still no funeral plans for my brother's godfather, but I'm sure they'll be on the horizon soon.
I heard this song today for the first time:
The lyrics are just, "(No,) I can't stop it," over and over, with a constant heartbeat underneath. But somehow the singer's voice just seems to soar from hesitant to resigned to mournful to awestruck to exultant to enraged in four short minutes. That seems to echo how I feel about the inertia of this week(/month, really), and I worked those feelings into this piece. There's something haunting and macabre, but beautiful and peaceful about the whole thing. Form-wise, this is Khara House original, called the settennet, sort of a shadormish form. It's also for her challenge to coin a word for a feeling that doesn't have a single word to represent it. So, I offer this, in whatever language will have it:
milagrymos (n) (derivation: milagro, Spanish, "miracle" + lachrymosus, Greek via Latin, "tearful") — the feeling of being helpless to resist being carried along by the events in one's life, which all seem to be beautiful and devastating at the same time
I also offered Khara a form in response, so I'll re-iterate my kyrioum that I made for the poem Botany, Shmotany a while back. It's a kyrielle/pantoum combo: iambic tetrameter (rare for me!), and the lines go A1A2B1B2 // A2A3B2B3 // A3A4B3B2 // A4A5B2B4 // … // AxA1B2B1 at the end. Check it out, see how it's constructed, give it a whirl if you've a mind to.
After posting this, I'm going to type up my long poem and send it to a few choice people for their feedback. Then I'm going to take every feeling that's in me right now and pour it into the mould of another poem I've been thinking about for Nicholas, for weeks. And a poem of mine is up at Red Fez this issue, so you should check it out!
Who would not want to stop
dead– examine it
the seafloor rocks,
searching for
its venomed barbs, its slow sting?
Who has never balanced
against reason– been
in love with that
raging with wonder and fear?
Who can speak the utter
for it– realizing
this beat,
forward motion,
the long tide
littered with our thousand shells?
Who is seduced by the
thing twice– swept off
their feet
by saltwater,
caught off guard,
dazzled with one perfect tear?

Intu announces 4G partnership with WIG and EE
Intu has signed a partnership with WIG and EE to install networks to support 4G services in what is thought to be the first for UK shopping centres.
Starting in summer this year, intu Trafford Centre will offer its shoppers superfast mobile broadband as EE becomes the first operator to go live on a newly developed state of the art network, with the rest of intu's centres to follow.
Trevor Pereira, commercial director at intu said: "Mobile shopping has risen by over 50 per cent compared to a year ago, but we know that shoppers can be put off and frustrated by slow speeds and lost connections. By offering our shoppers 4G we are further breaking down the division between online and offline shopping and giving our retailers a really exciting opportunity to engage with their shoppers, interacting with them at every level"
Scott Coates, CEO at Wireless Infrastructure Group said: "The network we have developed at intu Trafford Centre will enable EE to provide shoppers with a transformational mobile experience. Working in partnership with intu we have built a single network that can support all mobile operators and are delighted to be launching it with EE to bring 4G mobile to shoppers."
This news comes hot on the heels of intu's free WiFi roll out launch last week, debuting at intu Trafford Centre as part of its £8m digital infrastructure investment plan. Intu is the UK's first landlord to commit to large scale investment in the installation of a fully owned fibre optic network for its shopping centres. This investment will give intu direct ownership of the fibre network, WiFi technology and subsequent data, enabling intu to guide the customer journey from beginning to end.

It never comes.
Instead, the give you a "Gold Key" card that you can't use anywhere - plus the claim ATM service is free at their location - which also is false. They charge you a fee, claiming the ATM at their banks is not their bank at all.
It's a huge and deliberate fraud and scam. You could have gone to any other bank and gotten a Visa or MasterCard ATM card that you could use anywhere in the country. While they promise this when you get an account, instead all you get is a "Gold Key" card that you can't use anywhere except at their banks where they rip you off for ATM fees claiming their ATM is not their ATM. They have very few banks anywhere, so overall their Gold Key card is worthless.
Don't believe it when you apply for an account and they tell you that you'll get a MasterCard ATM card in 7 to 10 days. You'll get nothing in 7 to 10 days. Instead, all you'll have is the scam "Gold Key" card they give you when you get the account. If you ask where is the MasterCard ATM card they just tell you that it must have gotten lost or someone forgot to turn in the request. They did this to me at the Fort Worth 1st Convenience at the Wal-Mart on Meadowbrook. But others are telling me the same thing was done to them.
If you want an account with a MasterCard or Visa ATM card that you can used in stores and banks everywhere, go to ANY bank but 1st Convenience Bank.
This terribly messed up my plans as I intended to travel and needed the ATM card to rent a car (plus some hotels require one.) Instead, FIRST CONVENIENCE -NATIONAL BANK RUINED MY VACATION WITH THEIR SCAM.

Man Mauled by Tiger in Bronx to Complete Treatment
An upstate New York man who was mauled last year by a tiger after he jumped off a Bronx Zoo monorail pleaded guilty Tuesday to trespassing under an agreement that allows the charge to be dismissed after he completes a year of mental health treatment, according to the Bronx District Attorney's Office.
Bronx Criminal Court Judge Steven Hornstein accepted 26-year-old David Villalobos' guilty plea after his attorney, Corey Sokoler, said prosecutors made "an offer that was very fair."
In September 2012, Mr. Villalobos, of Mahopac, N.Y., suffered a broken shoulder, rib, ankle and pelvis and a collapsed lung after he entered the pen and approached a 400-pound tiger named Bachuta. The tiger allowed Mr. Villalobos to pet him but then mauled him, authorities said. Mr. Villalobos wasn't intoxicated or trying to commit suicide, authorities said at the time, but instead told investigators he wanted "to be one with the tiger."
Mr. Sokoler said Mr. Villalobos was bitten several times during the encounter and still walks with a limp.

Robust Correlates of County-Level Growth in the U.S.
Matthew John Higgins

Andrew T. Young
West Virginia University - College of Business and Economics
Daniel Levy
Bar-Ilan University - Department of Economics; Emory University - Department of Economics; Rimini Center for Economic Analysis
Emory Law and Economics Research Paper No. 07-16
Higgins et al. (2006) report several statistically significant partial correlates with U.S. per capita income growth. However, Levine and Renelt (1992) demonstrate that such correlations are hardly ever robust to changing the combination of conditioning variables included. We ask whether the same is true for the variables identified as important by Higgins et al. Using the extreme bounds analysis of Levine and Renelt, we find that the majority of the partial correlations can be accepted as robust. The variables associated with those partial correlations stand solidly as variables of interest for future studies of U.S. growth.

I don't know about you, but I'm concerned when businesses don't play by the rules. Case in point: Businesses are not allowed to lure customers in with deceptive advertising only to tell them the truth later in the transaction. But the FTC says that's just what a Nissan dealership in Mesquite, Texas, did.
Thinking about giving a fancy new gadget as a holiday gift? Or maybe there's something on your wish list that Santa forgot to bring? If so, you might be tempted by an ad for high-tech at a low price. But if a merchant other than Amazon.com asks you to pay using an Amazon gift card, it's probably a scam. In fact, Amazon's gift card terms don't allow you to use Amazon gift cards to make payments anywhere besides amazon.com and a few specific sites.
Some current and former T-Mobile customers are about to get their money back.
As part of a $90 million dollar proposed settlement, T-Mobile is refunding customers who were unfairly billed third-party charges by the company.
If you are a yoga teacher, massage therapist, or other wellness practitioner, you've probably worked hard to get the word out about your services. And it's a good feeling when new customers reach out to you. Unfortunately, though, scammers pretending to be new customers are looking to disrupt your Zen — and take your money.
It's holiday season; time to visit family and friends, buy gifts and celebrate. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of sales and shopping, but if money is tight right now, you may wonder if you can afford all that holiday cheer. Before you start ringing up holiday expenses, make a budget and get a fix on your income, expenses and what you have to spend.
Some businesses seem to have short memories. Case in point: In 2012, Billion Auto, a chain of family-owned auto dealerships, agreed to an FTC settlement order that required them not to run deceptive ads for the financing and leasing of their vehicles. Yet here we are again, reminding Billion Auto — this time with a financial penalty of $360,000 — of their responsibilities under the law.
As the old song goes, "Silver and gold, silver and gold, everyone wishes for silver and gold." That rings especially true now that we're smack in the middle of the gift-giving season. If you're looking for that special little something, jewelry might do the trick. But do you know whether you're buying a trinket or a treasure? If you're on the hunt for holiday glitz, keep in mind these pearls of wisdom.
Mark Twain once said, "Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well." If you live by this mantra, you might find yourself scrambling at the last minute to finish your holiday shopping this season. Enter the gift card.
Home for the holidays? This year, when you pass the turkey, latkes, or veggies, why not also pass on your knowledge about avoiding scams?
You know a lot about scams. Sharing what you know can help protect someone who you know from a scam. That's why the FTC created Pass It On – articles, presentations, bookmarks, activities and a video – all designed to help you talk about scams and how to prevent them. There's something for everyone at your holiday gathering.
If a company promises a new and innovative handheld gaming console, you'd expect the features to work as described in their ads, right? According to Sony's settlement with the FTC, announced today, that wasn't the case with ads for the PlayStation Vita. And now the company will offer partial refunds to eligible buyers.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the nation's consumer protection agency. The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace.

The loss for Stetson means the Hatters (9-19, 6-11) no longer control their own destiny when it comes to getting into the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament. The Hatters must hope for a North Florida win over Jacksonville on Friday night to make Saturday's regular-season finale at USC Upstate meaningful.
ETSU improved to 15-13 overall with the win, 9-8 in league play despite playing the game without two starters.
The Hatters played most of the first half without either of the primary post players after juniors Adam Pegg and Liam McInerney both got into early foul trouble. Still, the Hatters were down by just four points, 19-15, with 7:16 left in the half.
From there the host Buccaneers went on a 10-0 run over the next six minutes before Stetson answered with a pair of free throws by Willie Green followed by a steal and basket by Tyshawn Patterson.
The quick score only slowed ETSU for a moment, and the Bucs bounced back to take a 29-19 lead into halftime.
ETSU then opened the second half on a 11-2 run, pushing the Bucs lead to 40-24. The Hatters never got closer than nine points the rest of the way and trailed by as many as 19 points.
Pegg was the only Stetson player to score in double figures in the game, finishing with 12 points. Chris Perez had nine points and nine rebounds on the night.
ETSU was led by Isiah Brown with 22 points and Adam Sollazzo with 19.
The Hatters will close the regular season on Saturday afternoon in Spartanburg, SC, against USC Upstate. That game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. start.
