When I said I thought it would be kind of good to learn more about evolution, some other kids started calling me monkey girl. 'Cause they said god made them, but that I must've come from chimps." – 14-year-old from Dover, PA
This book recounts one of the major victories for science education in the United States. It is also a well researched and contemplative work focusing on the people who advocated for and against teaching evolution in biology class versus creation science and Intelligent Design. Although, one would think the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial would have settled the legal argument, it appears that ignorance of science and theism continue rear their head.
Edward Humes' book, Monkey Girl: Evolution, Education, Religion and the Battle for America's Soul, recounts the tumult, politics, media circus and eventual court decision in Dover, Pennsylvania. The judge's decision legally refuted ID as theology and not science. The court found ID had no basis in fact, nor should it be taught alongside evolution in the science classroom. The legal case, Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, stands today as a beacon for social justice and a bulwark against theistic ignorance in its attempt to remake secular education policy.
For readers of this blog who are unfamiliar with what transpired allow me to briefly explain. Basically, a small group of Christian fundamentalists, after being elected to their school board hijacked their community's long standing education curriculum. They attempted by fiat to remove evolution from the science curriculum by establishing and giving plausible standing to the theistic pseudo-science of Intelligent Design and creationism.
This meant that current science textbooks would be replaced books that offered ID as science, refuting Darwin and natural selection. It also appears that the publishers of the textbooks financially supported school board member's campaigns. The board policy also required science teachers to state that evolution and natural selection were competing theories with other forms of creation theory, including special biblical creation.
On a personal note, I believe that it is hubris to think that we as a species are either special or central to the universe's cause, health, and operation. Galileo proved the Church wrong six hundred years ago, showing Earth was not the universe's center and he paid this discovery with lifetime house arrest.
Today, there are those who cannot accept our place in a universe, a cosmic space which does not care about nor acknowledges our species viability or existence. The audacity of these individuals in Dover (or anywhere) to attempt to take secular education and remake it into theism is deplorable, moving from cognitive dissonance to evil.
What made this case so special is that it drew national media attention. The case had the legal backing from fundamentalists groups. On one side you had folks who felt their specific community standards allowed for autonomy in designing educational curriculum which centered on divine creation. On the other side were parents and a legal defense which saw this initiative as a clear violation of the separation clause of the Constitution.
The court heard from both sides, including "experts" for ID and those who supported traditional non-theistic science. With the media spotlight burning bright and with a community split, the court eventually decided the case in favor of the parents who sued the school board for attempting to place theism into the school's secular science curriculum. In addition, at the next school board election, all those who favored the inclusion of ID in the science curriculum were voted out of office. This remains a total legal rebuff of ID and informs and confirms the separation clause of the Constitution.
To believe we as a species exist for some divine purpose or though some act of special creation is belief in a perpetual fallacy, a denial of science and a form of intellectual ignorance. Such lack of knowledge, whether met though overt or convert belief must be met with facts and an understanding of science and the scientific method. We must, for the sake of our survival, teach our children to be excited by the natural universe and nature.
If science and history has shown us anything, it is that we are insignificant to the universe. But this should ignite one's imagination and not draw us towards sadness or theism. The natural processes which evolved our existence and that of all other species are accidental and without bias. The universe neither cares if we exist nor would notice if our species disappeared. Doesn't that make our time, which is both limited and accidental, even more special? I believe that it does.
Our problems are of our own making and are small, although at times painful. They are met by a cold and uncaring universe for which we reside on an insignificant backwater (thanks' Carl) of the cosmos. And this is precisely why we must care. Our species must see past our tribalism, see past of inability to connect our philosophies, religious or otherwise, to create societies which develop our human potential.
Religion perpetuates dark ages, war and suffering. In the western world, until the enlightenment, power and access to information was limited only to the church and its client aristocracy. It is also true that during this time, with organized religion, the dearth of human creativity related to science was not allowed to flourish. This is because then as now, science's truth diminishes theism and remains at odds with religious teaching of supernatural cause and belief.
But back to the review, in Judge John E. Jones, III final ruling, he found that Intellegient Design is not science; that it could not be allowed in the science classroom, that ID in classroom violated the Separation Clause, that the school board members lied under oath, and that they sought to inject religion into the science classroom. He writes in his opinion:
The facts of this case make it abundantly clear that the Board's ID policy violates the Establishment Clause. In making this determination, we have addressed the seminal question of whether ID is science. We have concluded that is it's not and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents.
Isn't that enough? I'd certainly recommend the book if you are a concerned citizen, legal scholar, Constitutional or secularist advocate, a parent with children, or involved with education teaching or policy. But even if you just want to read a great non-fiction legal case, this will be a great journey for the reader.

Year of the breach: 2011 in review
Several high profile events throughout the year have kept the spotlight on the issue of data exposures, especially those where millions of consumers information was obtained by malicious hackers. Although the information involved, emails and passwords, does not rise to the level of a "personal identifying information" (PII) breach, it is definitely troubling that such a large number of consumers may become targets of phishing and related attacks, which do attempt to get consumers PII.[ READ MORE ]

Piling on: Multi-Level Government and the Fiscal Common-Pool
Christopher R. Berry
University of Chicago - Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies
May, 2008
This paper discusses the common-pool problems that arise when multiple territorially overlapping governments share the authority to provide services and levy taxes in a common geographic area. Contrary to the traditional Tiebout model in which increasing the number of competing governments improves efficiency, I argue that increasing the number of overlapping governments results in "overfishing" from the shared tax base. I test the model empirically using data from U.S. counties and find a strong positive relationship between the number of overlapping jurisdictions and the size of the local public sector. Substantively, the "overlap effect" amounts to roughly 10 percent of local revenue.

Your online guide to working mules for 2016
They may not have the impact of wedges or the glamour of killer heels but mules are the underdog of the fashion world, becoming increasingly au fait as a left-of-field choice for making a sartorial statement. Mules are having a moment; for 2015, fashion designers have fallen in love with the classic shape and feminine style of the shoe, reworking the retro feel for a contemporary take with embellishments and popping prints. The UK's amazing high street has quickly followed suit, with cheap mules straight from the catwalks of the world's fashion capitals.
Mules are a favourite in 2015 with fashion designers such as Dolce and Gabbana, Miu Miu and Missoni who have emblazoned their designs with statement florals and zig-zag prints. Heels are kept high and toes are closed.
Browse our online style guide before cruising over to our shopping pages where our filters and comparison tables give you a helping hand in buying the latest styles and cheap designer names.
What is a mule?
The term 'mule' derives from the latin mulleus which was a type of ceremonial shoe. These days, the term refers to a contemporary style of women's shoe, made popular by Marilyn Monroe in the '50s, which is backless and often closed-toe, with a heel that can be flat or high. They come in a variety of styles, from round to pointed toe, and heel style, from kitten to block heels, high or low.
Working mules for 2015
Mules are a popular option thanks to their versatility and wearability; they're easy to slip on and easy to slip off. Take your look from granny chic to glam and bring your look straight into the new season by teaming statement womens mules shoes with clothes such as coloured denim, dirndl skirts and pleated A-line skirts. A wedge style mule worn with wide-legged denim will evoke a seventies, retro-throwback feel. Pair a short hem with a high heeled mule – flats or kitten heel styles just won't cut it
Dressing your women's mules to suit your body shape
Mule shoes are the perfect style for you if you have slim legs or narrow ankles. Dainty heels and pretty styles are brilliant for thinner legs but avoid chunky heels or clog-style mules.
If you're heavier set you can make this style work for you too. Shop for mules and shoes with a chunky or wedge heel and avoid thinner heels as this will make your ankles look thicker. Avoid any straps around the ankle and opt for nude colours to lengthen the legs.
When shopping for mules for sale online remember that the chunkier the heel the more casual the shoe. Your clothing should reflect this.

NFL Players at Higher Risk of Brain Diseases
Latest Neurology News
NFL Players May Have Higher Risk of Dying From Diseases That Damage Brain Cells
By Denise Mann
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Sept. 5, 2012 -- Former National Football League (NFL) players may have a higher risk of dying from diseases that damage brain cells.
Research has raised red flags about the health risks associated with cumulative blows to the head. Now a new study finds that pro football players are four times more likely to die with Alzheimer's or Lou Gehrig's disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS), compared to the general population.
The study looked at nearly 3,500 football players with five or more years in the NFL, playing from 1959-1988. There were a total of 334 deaths, including seven with Alzheimer's and seven with ALS listed on their death certificates.
The new findings appear in the journal Neurology.
Are Repeated Mild Concussions Causing the Risk?
At greatest risk were NFL players who held "speed" positions, such as quarterback, running back, halfback, fullback, and tight end. These players were three times more likely to die from a brain-related disease than their teammates who played non-speed positions, such as defensive and offensive lineman.
Still, there's a lot of information the study can't provide. For example, researchers did not have information on head injuries or concussions sustained by the players or knowledge about any other risks for these diseases.
The study also did not look at why football players may be at higher risk for dying from these brain diseases. The theory is that repeated blows to the head may start a process that results in one or more brain-damaging disorders in some people.
Past research has linked concussions to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a disorder that has symptoms similar to those of ALS, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's disease. But it is not yet known if CTE develops independently or is the beginning signs of these diseases.
"There are probably other factors involved, such as other environmental exposures or genetic factors, but we are in the very early stages of knowing how those may be involved," says researcher Everett Lehman, of the CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Cincinnati.
Prevent and Identify Concussions in Athletes
"Our results may not be generalizable to shorter-term professional players or to college or high school players," Lehman says. NFL players included in the study may have been exposed to more football risk factors than those who had only played high school or college football.
Still, Lehman says, "while we are waiting to see if concussion is one of the causes of [long-term brain damage], we may want to go ahead and take steps to reduce, manage, and effectively treat concussions."
This includes:
Over the last few years, the NFL has implemented rule changes aimed at reducing concussions, Lehman says. These include moving kickoffs forward to the 35 yard line and increasing penalties for certain blows to the head and neck.
And today the NFL announced it is donating $30 million to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health to help set up a Sports Health and Research Program that will look into topics such as CTE, concussion, and Alzheimer's.
'Alarming' Results
The new study gives some numbers to the problem, says Jagan Pillai, MD, PhD, of the Center for Brain Health at the Cleveland Clinic. "It is definitely an important study."
"This is very alarming," says Patrick Lyden, MD, of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Still many questions remain. "Is it the head trauma or something else about athletes that are behind these numbers?" he asks. "To prove causation, we have to have some high-quality basic science."
It has long been thought that Lou Gehrig developed ALS from blows to his head during his athletic career, Lyden says.
Gayatri Devi, MD, a neurologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, says playing football simply is not good for the brain. "Repeated head injury over long periods of time clearly causes serious brain damage, and this is becoming more apparent as we are living longer."
Recent news reports have also focused on rates of depression and suicide seen among some pro athletes. "Depression and mood changes can be a harbinger of Alzheimer's disease down the road, so there may be a link," she says.
"We need to protect our brains and be more careful when playing games that involve head injuries," Devi says." We come with hard heads for a reason."

Area automobile dealers are finished with the Cash for Clunkers program, but not with federal bureaucracy.
The program was certainly a boost for dealers, who saw sales of new vehicles go up as people traded their older, less fuel-efficient cars for new models.
Buyers who qualified were able to get up to $4500 off, with the government agreeing to reimburse the dealers. But many of the dealers are still waiting for payment.
It has been almost two weeks since the popular program ended but the staff at John O'Neil Johnson Toyota is still all smiles.
"The Cash for Clunkers, it was an event we have never seen in the car business," said Will Wilkinson. "The traffic that came through the doors, it just made everyone excited. It was a good thing for the economy."
Dealerships have a lot of money wrapped up in the "clunkers" people traded, which are now taking up space on their properties, waiting to be picked up by a salvage company.
So far, the dealership has been reimbursed for only 2 of the 73 cars sold during the program. And while many dealerships across the country are feeling the crunch, this staff says it's confident the money will come eventually.
"Everything has been approved through the submission process," said Wilkinson. "Now they are just being paid as they come up."
But even the weeks of waiting haven't changed minds about the program. Wilkinson said it's exactly what the cash-strapped industry needed, from the dealerships to the manufacturers.
"It put production back for the domestic dealers that didn't have plants open," Wilkinson said. "So far I haven't seen negatives other than dealers worried about payment."
And that might change soon. It looks as if the payment jam has eased a bit. Department of Transportation officials have pledged to have all of the payments processed by the end of the month.
"We would love for them to do it again," said Wilkinson. "People come up and ask me and a lot of people feel confident it will come back."
As of Thursday, $500 million has been paid out to dealers. That's 17 percent of the total owed.
The dealers that saw the biggest increase in sales dating back to August 2008:
Subaru 51.5%
Hyundai 47%
Ford 17%

Fact Finder 12 is looking at a scam that many viewers have emailed and called our newsroom about. They say it's been happening recently to people living in the Wichita area.
Here's how the scam works:
You get a call from an unknown number. When you pick up the phone, an automated voice message tells you that your credit or bank card has been locked.
The caller then tells you to press one to unlock your card. After pressing one, the automated system asks for card information.
DON'T give them this information, it's a SCAM! Some report the number coming across as unavailable, others say it shows all zeros.
Please warn your families, especially young people and elderly about the scam.
If you have any questions about your card or account, you're asked to call your bank.

What is the difference between genomic DNA, mRNA, and cDNA?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering what is the difference between genomic DNA and mRNA and cDNA? Genomic DNA contains both genes and non-coding sequences right but doesn't that go for mRNA as well (intron: non-coding, exon: coding)...and cDNA is translated from the mRNA without the non-coding regions? Could someone clarify pretty please?
genomic DNA: the natural genetic material
mRNA: the product of transcription, go through some modifications before being translated
cDNA: product of reverse transcription of the mRNA (which has usually already gione through all the modification).
You shoud look up DNA transcription and ReverseTranscription for more details.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without
any proof. (Ashley Montague)
depends on what you are looking for:
- Presence of the gene in the genome: gDNA
- Expression of the gene, with RT PCR: mRNA/cDNA
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without
any proof. (Ashley Montague)
hi Canalon,
Thank you for your patience in answering my questions. I am using QPCR with SYBR method to check for gene expression levels so I assume that I need to take the mRNA/cDNA sequence. However, I tried to use this the PrimerBank website which automatically generates appropriate primer pairs for you and typed in the gene accession number for my gene and I found that the primer pairs that were given actually correspond to the exons on the genomic DNA sequence hence my confusion as to which sequence I am actually supposed to look at. And another thing, I read that it is a good idea to pick primers that span exon borders, is that for both forward and reverse primers...because I think only one of my primers span the border...

Q: It's getting warmer, and I work in a pretty trend-happy office. Is there any way to wear a crop top with my work attire?
A: Absolutely! Even if you don't work in a "trend-happy office," crop tops can still be completely professional. In fact, if you're petite or curvy or have a shorter-than-average torso, you might actually find that crop tops work better for you than longer ones because you don't have to tuck them in. It's all just a matter of how you style them.
1. Over a longer blouse or shift dress
The crop top should be boxy enough that it doesn't make the top underneath look bunchy and wrinkled. If you're wearing the crop top over a longer blouse, leave the blouse untucked and make sure both tops have a nicely finished hem.
Clockwise from the top left: Black and White Gingham Crop Top, TOPSHOP, $68; White Ankle Pants, BANANA REPUBLIC, $90; Black Tank With Purple Flowers, WILFRED FOR ARITZIA, $60; Black Patent Pumps, VINCE CAMUTO, $98
2. With a high-waisted skirt
To avoid flashing your stomach, make sure your crop top is long enough that it overlaps slightly with the waistline of your skirt, and feel free to layer it over a camisole or bodysuit if you are nervous about it riding up.
Clockwise from the top left: Pink Floral Crop Top, THE WHITEPEPPER, $67; Black Octagonal Pendant Necklace, MARC BY MARC JACOBS, $88; Black and White Stripe Midi Skirt, L.K. BENNETT LONDON, $210; Black Pointy Toe Flats, ZARA, $60; Purple Pocket Bag, KATE SPATE SATURDAY, $135
3. Under an open blouse
A fitted crop top under a low-cut or open blouse can be kind of a sexy look for some offices, but you should be fine as long as your crop top isn't too low-cut and doesn't look too much like a piece of lingerie.
Clockwise from the top left: Black and White Polka Dot Crop Top, TALULA FOR ARITZIA, $25; Blue Short-Sleeve Button-Down, JOE FRESH, $39; White and Yellow Flats, CHARLES & KEITH, $49; Patent Green Chain Bag, GUESS BY MARCIANO, $77; Orange Lace Skirt, TOPSHOP, $120
4. Under a blazer
Perfect for day-to-night dressing — button the jacket during the day, then unbutton it or ditch it entirely when you're ready to go out.
Clockwise from the left: White Pencil Skirt, WHITE HOUSE BLACK MARKET, $58; Pearl Pendant Necklace, ACCESSORIZE, $20; Black Blazer, MANGO, $84; Black-and-White Python Pumps, LUCA VALENTINI, $239; Green Floral Print Top, ZARA, $70
5. As part of a set
It's like a younger, more modern version of a traditional skirt suit.
From left to right: White, Black, and Yellow Color-Blocked Top, THE ICONIC, $149; White, Black, and Yellow Color-Blocked Skirt, THE ICONIC, $179; Pastel Plaid Crop Top, BOOHOO, $26; Pastel Plaid Pencil Skirt, BOOHOO, $20; Pink Long-Sleeve Crop Top, MISSGUIDED, $27; Pink Ribbed Pencil Skirt, MISSGUIDED, $24

Bi-modal shells
The Unix shell operates in two modes: "script" (sometimes called "batch", by really old people over 30) and "interactive". In the former, input is read from a file on disk, or for the more modern shells, from the command line arguments. In the latter mode, the commands are input manually by the user and evaluated one at a time. This is a concept familiar to dynamic languages programmers out there, referred to as the REPL, read-eval-print loop.
To make things simple: The interactive mode is what you get when you launch your (x)terminal and script mode is what you get when you execute code written in your favorite text editor.
The shell behaves more or less the same way regardless of what mode it is in. Newcomers are often surprised to see seasoned shell gurus write for and while loops from their interactive sessions, but if you think about it, there's nothing really shocking about that.
The main difference between the two modes happens at initialization. Scripts do not need to load as much info in their environments, and for performance reasons, they don't do. One example of information used exclusively in interactive sessions is aliasing. Aliases exist to make your interactive sessions easier, but shouldn't be used in your scripts, and accordingly aren't loaded unless needed.
The prompt is another example of features that are only present in interactive shells.
The prompt
In its simplest form, the prompt is a string displayed by the shell on the screen before asking for user input. The truth is a bit more complex than that, and different shells operate their prompts differently. I suggest you look at the man page of your shell to understand how it behaves.
In all the shells I have come across, the prompt is simply a string held in the variable PS1. Script shells will simply leave this variable empty, dispensing themselves from prompting. Special characters have special meanings in this variable. As mentioned, they may vary according to the shell you're using. Here're some examples taken from the bash(1) man page:
|the date in "Weekday Month Date" format (e.g., "Tue May26")
|the hostname up to the first `.'
|the hostname
|the number of jobs currently managed by the shell
|carriage return
|the name of the shell, the basename of $0 (the portion following the final slash)
|the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format
|the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format
|the current time in 12-hour am/pm format
|the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format
|the username of the current user
|the version of bash (e.g., 2.00)
|the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde (uses the value of the PROMPT_DIRTRIM variable)
|if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $
What good is the prompt? As you can see from the above, prompts are usually used to indicate some information about your current session:
- What is the current user? (useful for multi-user environments, or if you log in as root often)
- What is the current working directory?
- Display the current time next to a command?
- What's the name of the machine I'm currently logged in?
- What is the value of $VARIABLE at this particular moment?
These are simply examples of what a prompt can display. The more you get versed in shell-fu, you will be tempted to push the limits of how to take advantage of the prompt. Some people use it to monitor load, cpu/memory consumption, temperature, network traffic, new emails in their inbox ... For those familiar with it, the prompt is the command line equivalent of Conky. Using it right is not just pretty, it's ... better.
Modify the prompt
I've mentioned it before, modifying the prompt consists of modifying the PS1 variable. This can be done completely dynamically. Open an instance of your shell and type:
PS1="hello \u $"
You'll see the prompt change and understand what I mean. Of course to make this change permanent you want to append this line to your init files (~/.bashrc or else, depending on your environment).
The trick: modify dynamicallyNow this is the small trick that prompted (no pun intended) me to write this article. It is often useful to modify the prompt dynamically during your work sessions. For instance, if you are displaying the current working directory and the path becomes too long. Or if you want to turn on/off a temporary setting, like displaying the date in your prompt. I have something similar in my own bashrc:
Interactively, I can call the prompt() function at any moment to modify dynamically the value of the prompt. Before this function, I would lose a few minutes each time I wanted to modify the prompt. These minutes definitely had an impact on my productivity and concentration. Take this simple function, play with it and adapt it to your needs. I can attest it is a very good habit to think of the prompt as a powerful tool, instead of annoying text taking up space in the screen.

Miami Photos
Nude Men Pictures, Nude Male Pictures of Men
We feature a wide collection of nude pictures, including nude men pictures and erotic photographs. The most exciting and fascinating thing about nude male pictures of men is the artist's ability to give a perfect combination of light and forms. The body of man can be a powerful vehicle of exploration in the world of artistic photography since it allows people to explore eroticism, power, masculinity, sensuality, and sexuality. Besides, the male body has been used as inspiration for several artists throughout history such as Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci.
Depiction of nudity is as old as art. Painters and sculptors have explored this topic for thousands of years. Nudity in arts and more specifically in photography has usually conformed to accepted social standards. Nudity is a definite genre of representational art; it depicts nude women and nude men. Nude male pictures of men have been a favorite subject for photographers. Nude men pictures can be more or less graphic; we will feature the latter style. It is widely accepted that nude male pictures of men are more provocative. In the Greek representation of nude bodies, there is no sexual suggestiveness. Great nude men pictures are rare if they are designed to be artistic photos. Models should have perfect bodies, and the lighting and staging need to be perfect.

Ali, SA; Mohammad, JVZ; Ali, M; Ali, M (2011). The north of Iran fire regimes assessment with MODIS fire data: their relationship to PNPI and temperature (2001-2008). DISASTER ADVANCES, 4(3), 43-50.
AbstractFires in vegetation, forests, woodlands and rangelands are a major and continuing threat to human life, health and livelihoods. to economic development and to the environment. From an ecological point of view, fire is one of the important disasters that contribute in deforestation and destroying land cover vegetation in the global and local scales. Remote sensing provides rapid and valuable data for fire management. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) has been designed to include specific characteristics for fire detection. MODIS for forest fire monitoring has high detection accuracy, high radiometric resolution, moderate spatial resolution modes and a high saturation level. Fires occur repeatedly in Iranian forests during the summer time. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reports, 0.06 percent of Iron's forests burn every year. This paper provides spatial and temporal analysis of fires occurred in the northern forests of Iran in relation with PNPI and temperature from 2001-2008. Fire season in the northern part of Iran is from May until the end of October. Most of these fires occurred in the eastern regions of the Mazandaran Sea. The fire frequency has a correlation of 0.48 with percent of normal precipitation index (PNPI) values. Also temporal analysis from 2001-2008 shows that most of the fires occurred in June.

I sweat alot. It's summertime in Florida. I've tryed hats, I've even tryed the "sweat gutr" but I feel like the Rogaine is sweating off my hair and scalp and down my face. It doesn't irritate my eyes but I notice a new taste in my mouth that I can only assume is the Rogaine. Is this something I should be concerned about? The people on the other end of the 800 number couldn't(or wouldn't divulge) offer info.
I'm not sure the benefits of this product are worth the risks or costs. The manufacturer may not be helpful on the phone, but Rogaine is required to include the same list of warnings other drugs provide, and I would advise reading it thoroughly . The product interferes with the action of testosterone in the scalp, and I don't see how it could be completely harmless if ingested regularly.
Excellent point. Which is why I am hoping there is a solution I've overlooked to completely prevent sweat from my head from getting into my face. Perhaps some type of hat someone has had sucess with? But I'm with you, using the product is not worth the rish otherwise.

∞-Lie theory (higher geometry)
A simple Lie group is a connected Lie group with exactly two connected normal subgroups that is not abelian.
This is not the same thing as a simple object in LieGrp (or even in ). However, the Lie algebra associated to a simple Lie group is always a simple Lie algebra (although that definition also requires a non-abelian clause).
The classification of simple Lie groups consists of four infinite series – the classical Lie groups – and five separate cases – the exceptional Lie groups.
See Wikipedia's list of simple Lie groups.

Trian Fund Management LP cut its stake in Wendy's by about 22% in the first quarter, according to a filing released Thursday.
The activist investment fund sold more than 18 million shares of the burger and fast-food chain, where Trian co-founder Nelson Peltz serves as chairman of the board and fellow founders Ed Garden and Peter May are also on the board.
Trian continued to own 64.8 million shares of Wendy's, a 17.7% stake, as of the end of March, according to the filing.
Trian is currently waging a fight to split up the drinks and snack operations of PepsiCo The investment fund owned about 12.4 million shares of Pepsi as of the end of March, a 0.8% stake, according to the filing. Pepsi has rejected the call to break up and has argued it is a stronger company because it makes both beverages and snacks.
More In 13F Filings
Trian's position in industrial conglomerate Ingersoll-Rand PLC was also cut by 30% and is now down to a 4.4% stake. Mr. Peltz said he wouldn't stand for reelection to the board at Ingersoll-Rand after announcing he would join the board at snack maker Mondelez International Inc., another large Trian holding.
Thursday's filing also showed that Trian slashed in half its holding of Allegion PLC, a home and building security company it pushed to be separated from Ingersoll-Rand.
The securities filing, known as a 13F, is a quarterly update on the holdings of the firm, a requirement for all investment firms who manage $100 million or more.
Correction: Trian Fund Management LP sold more than 18 million shares of Wendy's Co. in the first quarter, nearly 22% of its position. An earlier version of this post said the investor sold about 27 million shares, or 30% of its position.

I am writing to thank all of the people who responded to our SpeakOut to help with the air conditioning problems in our home. I truly appreciate the many calls from people so willing to help. Unfortunately, Liesa passed away July 15 and she was my primary concern to keep comfortable in this heat.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped us during this time. From the pallbearers and honorary pallbearers to all who attended visitation, the funeral, sent cards, flowers, food, came by the house or called. I want to say a special thank you to Moll Printing (Lynn and Mike) for helping us put together a booklet with some of Liesa's poems she had written. I can never thank everyone enough for all the support you have shown my family and me. Liesa was a very important part of our family and our community.
We hear so much of the bad things happening these days that I thought this was a good opportunity to recognize a community for the support they offered this family in our time of need. Thank you.
Glenda Wasson and family

Why Mono Is Desirable For Linux
On this Friday we have a freelance open-source opinion article that was written by Ciprian Khlud. This developer, who uses C# among other languages at his place of employment along with a combination of Windows and Linux, argues why the Mono open-source ECMA CLI/C#/.NET implementation is actually desirable for Linux.

Back to Recipes List
Makes 8 individual puddings.
Recipe by Alice Medrich For Scharffen Berger Chocolate.
Crusty golden-topped puddings stuffed with chocolate chunks and ripe bananas in a swirl of salted caramel sauce! Puddings are cozy spooned right from their cups, or elegant unmolded with sauce all around.
Expand/Collapse Ingredient Details
Special Equipment
Butter the custard cups.
Stir the rounded 1/4 teaspoons of salt into the caramel sauce. Spread a generous tablespoon on one side of each bread slice. Divide the remaining caramel sauce among the ramekins using a generous tablespoon for each.
Cut one slice of bread in half the long way, then crosswise in thirds to make 6 pieces. Cut the bananas at a slight angle in 1/4" slices. Fill one ramekin: stack four of the bread pieces with a slice of banana between them. Turn the stack on edge and place it in bottom of the ramekin. Place one of the last two pieces of bread with a banana slice on each side of the stack. Repeat to fill the remaining ramekins. Distribute the chocolate among the ramekins (using about 20 chunks for each) on top and tucked between the bread slices.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and vanilla. Whisk in the half and half and milk. Pour the egg mixture into the ramekins. Let set for 20 to 30 minutes to saturate the bread completely. Top off the cups with the remaining egg mixture.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400degrees F, and put a kettle of water on to boil. Brush the exposed top edges of the bread with melted butter. Sprinkle with a generous 1/4 teaspoon of sugar per pudding. Wipe any smudges off the ramekins and set them in the baking pan. Set the pan in the oven. Pour boiling water in the pan to reach half way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the edges of the bread are golden brown, and a knife inserted into the puddings comes out wet but mostly clear rather than milky, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the water bath. If not serving within two hours, cover the puddings and refrigerate them. Cold puddings can be reheated in the microwave.
Serve the puddings in their cups, warm (wonderful!) or at room temperature or cold. Or, un-mold them as follows: slide a slim knife around the inside of a cup to detach the pudding. Tip the cup on a dessert dish and slide the pudding out, letting the sauce flow around it. Adjust the pudding to sit upright and scrape extra sauce from the cup around it or drizzle a bit on top.

Pot de Creme at Miette!

Clearly, the exclamation mark illustrates how excited I was about this jar of delicious chocolate! I took my pot de creme to Alamo Square to soak up the sights of the Painted Ladies and did my best Stephanie Tanner impression.

News 12 at 11 / Thursday, April 3, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- It took the board less than an hour to put eight educators in new spots. All of these recommendations stemmed right from the superintendent himself.
Board members were only in their seats a moment for Thursday night's special called meeting before they got right back up to head into executive session, the meeting behind closed doors, to talk about one thing, personnel matters.
"The reason for the urgent meeting tonight is this has to be done by April the 15th when their contracts will have to be renewed," board member Jack Padgett, Jr. explained.
When they returned, eight votes shuffled the leaders of several Richmond County Schools. Here's the breakdown.
Garrett Elementary Principal Doug Frierson will be moved to Hephzibah Middle, sending Hephzibah Middle's Larina Thomas to Hephzibah High School. That puts Hephzibah High's principal Walter Reeves as a Title I Instructional Provider for the school system.
The board also decided to move Tobacco Road Elementary's principal Geoclyn Williams to Freedom Park K-8. Freedom Park's Pauline Andrews will jump to Sego Middle School.
A sixth vote put Math Coordinator Shelly Allen in Stacey Mabray's current seat as Curriculum and Instructional Director, pushing Mabray in the doors of Butler High as principal. Butler High's Greg Thompson will now head to Tubman Education Center.
"[Dr. Roberson] wanted to move people into schools that would make the schools have progress," Padgett said.
Padgett says most of these are lateral moves with no change in pay. But, there will be at least one pay cut taking effect in 2015.
"I wouldn't consider any of it demotions. Some of it's to put people in a better fit," he said.
It was a lot of changes in a short amount of time but not the two we were expecting.
When News 12 asked why nothing was said about Laney principal Tonia Mason or Tubman principal Dr. Wayne Frazier, Padgett responded, "I think because the issues that are going around that, we didn't discuss those. They will be discussed later."
News 12 spoke with Dr. Roberson after the meeting. He says Dr. Frazier's position is still being determined. He also confirms Mason is being investigated by the Georgia Association of Educators. He says they didn't take any action tonight, because they're still waiting on information. He says they should get something soon. But, as rumors fly, he confirmed he has not received any official notice of anyone's resignation.

CHARLESTON-- The Charleston Bluejays football team (0-2) met the Portageville Bulldogs (0-2) Friday night at Charleston's Marshall Athletic Complex. Both were looking for their first win of the season. However, it was the Bluejays who emerged victorious from the contest rolling the Bulldogs 49-0.
The offensive performance of Charleston was headlined by senior running back Antonio Riggens. Riggens rushed for 142 yards on only seven carries with three touchdowns in the game.
"I was just thinking about getting the win for our team," Riggens said after Friday's game. "We needed one. I knew I had to run the ball hard tonight. Thats what I did. My offensive line did a great job blocking for me. I hope we can keep that up next Friday against New Madrid."
Charleston head coach Dan Kesselring was pleased with his running backs performance Friday night.
"We've been hoping for (Antonio) Riggens to step up and have a big game for us and he did just that tonight," Kesselring said.
The rest of the Bluejays backfield complied 160 yards and three rushing touchdowns with significant contributions from Ronson Beard, Maurice Moore, and Claude Armstrong.
Kesselring believes that had a lot to do with the offensive line and their play Friday night.
"We were kind of concerned with the way Portageville played their defensive ends so wide," he said. "We did a good job of getting out there and scoop blocking them. Garrison Eastman had a great game at offensive tackle. Our running backs did a good job blocking for each other as well."
The efficient passing game of quarterback Chase McClendon and his corps of inexperienced yet talented receivers added extra punch to Charleston's attack.
Kesselring feels the passing game is coming along nicely and will only get better as the season progresses.
"Chase had a great year last year," he said. "He had great receivers in (Matt) Medlock and (Allen) Hemphill. When you lose kids like that, they are hard to replace. We are starting to show signs of that though. Deonte Jones has had some tremendous catches this year. Chase needs to do a better job of reading the field, but he's getting there with that. He has a great arm and can put the ball where he needs to. We need to just get some more confidence in some of our receivers so that we can start to utilize them more."
Charleston's defense, which has been a problem so far this season, showed signs of vast improvement Friday night, especially in the secondary.
"I was really pleased with our pass coverage," Kesselring said. "We have real inexperienced defensive backs. But,we really tuned in tonight and played well in pass coverage. We should have had a couple of interceptions. But, at least we are where we need to be to make those plays."
Kesselring feels that tonight's win will carry over momentum into the following weeks.
"Anytime you win, in any sport or anything in general, it brings your morale up," he said. "Thats one thing we focused on all week this week is to bring the morale up and 'rally the troops' so to speak. We were in the same situation last year with losses to Kennett and Sikeston before this game last year. We came back then with a win against Portageville and went on to win the district. Thats something our kids would like to do again. We just try to get better every week and get ready for that district play"
Portageville falls to 0-3 with Friday's loss. Bulldogs head coach Lee Wallace feels that his team can take positive things from every game.
"What I liked is that some of our young guys are getting a chance to play," Wallace said. "They are coming in and doing their best. They aren't coming out and making excuses. They aren't trying to leave the game or anything. Thats a positive that some of our inexperienced guys are trying to do what we've asked of the older guys, which is to toughen up, learn, and grow and mature as football players."
Wallace pointed to injuries and other personnel issues as roadblocks to developing a cohesive unit on the field constantly.
"We have the injury bug,"he said "We are still having to move a lot of guys around."
Wallace commented on the positive direction that the Charleston Football program is going in.
"He (Kesselring) has got a lot to look forward to," Wallace said. "We saw his kids all night communicate with each other. They may not have done that the first two weeks. But, tonight they were able to come out and execute."
Kesselring in turn had kind words for Wallace and the way he coaches and teaches his players.
"I want to commend Portageville's effort tonight," Kesselring said. "They played all four quarters. I know they are struggling just like we are but, you never saw them get mad. They kept their composure well. I just can't say enough about Coach Wallace and his staff and how their trying to build that program back."

The O.C. — Law School Edition
This just in: According to Brian Leiter's Law School Reports, a blog on comings-and-goings in legal academia, UC Irvine, which recently got approval to start a law school, reached an agreement with Duke's Erwin Chemerinsky (pictured), a prominent constitutional law scholar, to have Chemerinsky be its inaugural dean — and then rescinded the offer yesterday because of his political views. (For background, here's a recent Los Angeles Times story on Chemerinsky when he was a leading candidate for the job.)
According to Leiter's report, about a week ago Chemerinsky signed a contract to be the dean of Irvine's Donald Bren School of Law. But Yesterday, Irvine's chancellor, Michael V. Drake, flew to Duke and fired Chemerinsky, "saying that he had not been aware of how Chemerinsky's political views would make him a target for criticism from conservatives," according to the report.
The new public law school is expected to begin classes in 2009. (For more on the school's namesake Donald Bren, a billionaire real estate developer and big Republican donor, click here.)
Update: We've spoken to Chemerinsky, who confirmed the account, though he said the chancellor was already in D.C. before he flew to Durham on Tuesday. (The Law Blog has a call in to Chancellor Drake.)
Chemerinsky, who was slated to begin at Irvine next summer, said the chancellor "said he hadn't expected that I would be such a target for conservatives, a lightning rod. It's clear that significant opposition developed," including, Chemerinsky added, from certain members of the Regents of the University of California. The chancellor told him that even if regents ended up approving the appointment, it would be after a "bloody battle," and damaging the law school.
"I've been a liberal law professor for 28 years," Chemerinsky said. "I write lots of op-eds and articles, I argue high-profile cases, and I expected there would be some concern about me. My hope was that I'd address it by making the law school open to all viewpoints."
Chemerinsky said he had begun assembling a board of advisors that would have included conservatives such as Viet Dinh, a law professor at Georgetown, and Deanell Reece Tacha, a judge on 10th Circuit.
He added: "Obviously I'm sad because it's something I was exciting about. I'm angry because I don't believe anyone liberal or conservative should be denied a position like this because of political views."
Second Update: Wednesday afternoon, UCI Chancellor Michael Drake issued a statement which read, in part:
I have come to the very difficult conclusion that Professor Chemerinsky is not the right fit for the dean's position at UC Irvine at this time. . . .
Professor Chemerinsky is a gifted academic and his credentials are outstanding. I respect him greatly. My decision is no reflection whatsoever on his qualifications, but I must have complete confidence that the founding dean and I can partner effectively in building our law school. As in all decisions, I must do what I believe is in the best interests of our university.

Wanting to start delving into SASS, CoffeeScript, HAML, etc. to learn the new techniques and have heard of people using them with WordPress. Anyone out there that has used them (either development or production), I have a few questions:
- Are you running all Ruby on local development machines, compiling and serving static resources to production servers? If so, is MAMP (or MAMP Pro) a satisfactory way to do that? I've seen tools like LiveReload on Mac or plugins like Wordless that seem to indicate working locally is the best way to go.
- If dealing with clients that cannot run Ruby on their servers, will developing locally work?
- Any issues you may have run into with conflicts between Ruby and WordPress?
Trying to find ways to streamline my development processes and SASS could definitely prove useful with mixins, variables, etc. - looking for some direction on the best way to use these languages.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Janie-----you rock.!
The last day of each session is the most inspiring. Janie has students 'show and tell' the work done during the classes. It is a good time to interact with the other students you have been working with. It is always a positive experience with Janie leading the way with comments about good composition, tonal quality, color layering, etc. Then the class gets a chance to point out their favorite drawing or part of a drawing. Everyone leaves the class feeling good about what they have experienced in the class.
I am looking forward to the next class I am able to take with Janie."
