|Selected FAQ
When I try to take a close-up shot, what I see through the viewfinder is not what I get when I download the picture.
If the object you are attempting to capture is less than 2-feet away, you may encounter a "parallax" error. A parallax error is when the camera lens is not focusing on the same object as the viewfinder. When taking a close-up shot, the camera is normally tilted forward so that the object is centered within the viewfinder. Tilting the camera forward off-centers the lens, causing the camera to capture the lower part of the desired object. When taking close-up shots, ensure that the camera is not tilted, the lens is pointing directly at the desired object, and that the object is centered vertically within the viewfinder. Although the object is not centered horizontally in the viewfinder, the lens is pointing directly at the object and will capture and center the object correctly. To ensure that you are capturing the correct image, you may want to consider connecting the camera to your Macintosh to view your close-up images on the screen before you capture them. Please refer to Chapter 5 page 5 for more information on viewing and taking pictures from your Macintosh.

Police "have launched a murder investigation following the discovery of human remains in an area of woodland" on the Queen's land in Norfolk, about 110 miles north of London, they confirm in a statement to PEOPLE.
"The remains of a female were found by a member of the public who reported the incident to police shortly after 4 p.m. on Sunday 1 January," Norfolk constabulary added in the statement.
A forensic search is underway, and an autopsy is scheduled for later Tuesday once the body has been removed.
"The area has been sealed off and a detailed search is currently being carried out. Examinations of the scene are being conducted by forensic experts in pathology and anthropology and should be completed today," according to the statements.
Detective Chief Inspector Jes Fry said in a press conference Tuesday that the investigation was in the "very early stages," reports the BBC.
"It could be a complex inquiry," said Fry. "The body had been there for some time."
He added, "The circumstances suggest this is a murder case, and we are looking at missing persons reports and cold cases, both locally and nationwide."
The discovery is thought to be around three miles from Sandringham House, where the royals spent the holidays.
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, who is recovering from his emergency surgery at Christmas, are in residence at the moment, and the Queen was seen out riding her horse Monday.
Officials at the Palace are not commenting on the situation, referring all calls to the police.

The spine, also called the backbone, is a flexible column of linked bones (vertebrae), muscles, tendons, and other tissues that extend from the base of the skull to the tailbone. It includes three protective membranes that encase the spinal cord and the fluid surrounding it. The spine provides structural support for the body and facilitates movements such as twisting and bending. The column of nerves in the spinal cord transmits signals to the brain to control movement, sensation, and bladder and bowel function.
Tumors can develop in the vertebrae, nerves, and other tissue throughout your spine. Some spine tumors, such as astrocytomas, occur more commonly in children and adolescents. (Learn more about pediatric brain and spinal cord tumors.)
Fewer than 10 percent of spine tumors begin in the spine. These tumors, called primary tumors, may be benign (noncancerous) or low-grade, malignant (cancerous) growths that are slow growing, or high-grade tumors that grow very aggressively. The vast majority of spine tumors are metastatic. These tumors arise from cancer that begins in another part of the body, such as the lungs, breasts, colon, prostate, kidneys, or thyroid gland. Sarcomas – cancers of the bone, muscle, or connective tissue – can also spread to the spine.
Types of Spine Tumors
There are many different types of spine tumors, which are identified by their location and the type of cells they contain.
Most primary and metastatic spine tumors are epidural tumors. These tumors grow in the bones of the spine. As they grow, they can compress the spinal dura – a thick sac that contains the spinal cord, nerve roots, and spinal fluid.
Intradural tumors, found inside the spinal dura, include:
- Intramedullary tumors – tumors that grow within the spinal cord, such as ependymomas and astrocytomas
- Extramedullary tumors – tumors that grow outside the spinal cord, such as meningiomas, schwannomas, and myxopapillary ependymomas
Nerve plexus tumors such as neurofibromas and ganglioneuromas occur next to the spine in the nerve plexus, a network of intersecting nerves that transmits signals from the brain to the arms or legs.
As a spine tumor grows, it can replace bones or compress nerves, resulting in compression fractures or reduced blood supply to the spinal cord. Often, the first symptom of a spine tumor is the pain caused by these changes. The time of day at which the pain occurs can provide important information about the tumor.
- Pain that occurs mainly when you are moving – mechanical pain – usually means that the tumor is causing weakness or instability in the bones of the spine.
- Pain experienced primarily at night or in the early morning that lessens with movement is often an early sign that the tumor has spread. This is because your adrenal gland, which makes steroids during the day to help prevent inflammation, becomes less active when you are sleeping.
Spine tumors that are close to major nerves can disrupt the nerves' ability to receive and send messages between the body and the brain. This can cause neurologic symptoms such as:
- weakness, tingling, or numbness in both legs or arms
- difficulty walking or balancing
- sensory problems
- loss of bowel and bladder control

Swedish Massage
The most common kind of massage offered in Western massage is the swedish massage. This is the kind of massage that most people encounter first because of the wildly popularity of the great relaxation you attain from swedish massage.
What is a swedish massage?
It is accomplished by using different oils that will allow the masseuse to work your muscles using long, smooth, gliding motions known as effleurage. These are movements which run along the long muscles in your body to relax kinks and tension which can build up from your daily stresses. The positions that you sit in at work and work you do around the house can also cause a build-up of the kind of tension relieved by Swedish massage.
Swedish Massage Techniques
There are more methods used in Swedish massage besides effleurage, such as working out your tension through tapping, stretching, friction and kneading. The method used always includes firm pressure without being so firm that it will hurt. The goal is to allow the muscles to relax and release tension. While getting a Swedish massage you may undress to your comfort level (some stay fully clothed, some derobe to the undergarments and some receive these massages nude). For those who are new to this kind of massage you are welcome to wear your underwear. The masseuse will use what is known as draping to reveal only the part of the body that they are working on. This allows you to enjoy some modesty while you are getting the Swedish massage that will allow you to feel calm and relaxed.
Would you like to learn swedish massage? Get started on your swedish massage training today by searching for massage schools near you.

By Margaret Atwood
In the years that followed, her mother referred to it vaguely, hesitantly, as "that bad time you had." But for feminist painter Elaine Risley, the protagonist of this novel, the time was a slice of childhood agony so severe she would bury it beyond memory, allowing it to escape only in the grotesque, haunting images of her canvases. Where Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale explored the oppression of a male oligarchy in some distant future, Cat's Eye probes the more terrifying terrain of 20th-century relationships, especially among women. "Little girls are cute and small only to adults," Atwood writes. "To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized." Returning to Toronto, the scene of her youthful torment, for a retrospective of her work, Risley confronts her memories of Carol, Grace and—above all—Cordelia, whose little girl games of exclusion and redemption nearly cost Elaine her life at age 9. Now in her mid-40s, Risley wanders the city's streets. She fends off smug reporters. ("Probably she's out to get me," Risley thinks of one journalist. "Probably she'll succeed.") She shrugs off overblown interpretations of her paintings. She falls into the bed of her ex-husband. She surveys a department store, ruminating on her own inevitable end ("Aging begins at the elbows and metastasizes"). Elaine has another husband now. Her eccentric parents are dead; her brother has been arbitrarily executed in the Middle East ("He died of an eye for an eye, or someone's idea of it. He died of too much justice"). Her daughters, "born with some kind of protective coating, some immunity I lacked," have passed blithely beyond her care. She longs for a friend—a grown-up Cordelia, a Cordelia who never marred her innocence, a Cordelia who hadn't gone mad. The other women who challenge her—a rival found crumpled within the blood of a self-induced abortion; a fanatic who objects to Risley's portraits of the God-loving, child-torturing Mrs. Smeath—must also, eventually, be embraced. That's true because Risley, nearing 50, can finally discern in these women the same emotions that obsess her—"the same wish to be loved; the same loneliness; the same fear." There is hardly a sentence in Atwood's book that will not cause a reader to linger in sometimes amused, sometimes horrified, always startled recognition. Perhaps Atwood's most striking achievement, Cat's Eye is a courageous, awesome undertaking whose crystal-sharp vision shines too eerily but unerringly true. (Doubleday, $18.95)

Research Areas: Visual Studies; Rhetoric; Scientific and Technical Communication; Philosophies of Science and Technology; Writing Across Disciplines.
Currently, my research focus has been on the topic of color theory. One of the gaps in current literature that informs communication and writing in digital environments is the lack of approaches to the topic of color. Social semiotic accounts often attempt to explain the "language" of color with linguistic terminology and culturally relative meanings that either ignore the nonlinguistic functions of color, or portray color as "manipulating" the subconscious that "speaks" to our emotions in some mode hidden from awareness. In technological contexts, color is often reduced to a quantifiable system of coordinates on a digital color wheel, and then sorted into schemes, palettes or templates. As a result, technological systems privilege the categorization of the color spectrum, while deemphasizing color's valuable attribute to resist naming. Together, these approaches treat color as a matter of decorum, style or rhetorical delivery, and tend to define it as 'expressive' content that is 'added-on' to design and written language to produce emotion, or to simply denote a shape. Of course, the whole of color theory (if there is such a unified thing) draws from a much wider range of multidisciplinary knowledge, including studies in perception and vision science, which I argue can better inform our understanding of the cultural, the natural and the technical possibilities and constraints of digital color; and, through this framework we can realize a more unified approach to color.
My dissertation is on the historical and theoretical underpinnings of color technologies; in particular, I focus on case studies of visual technology important to the history of science. The research areas covered in his project are Science and Technology Studies, Philosophy of Technology, the History of Science, and Visual Studies.
Teaching: As a PhD student at Michigan Tech, I have the opportunity to teach a variety of courses, including Composition, Intro to Film, and Intro to Speech Communication. These experiences have also been supported by teaching practicum-based classes, as well as ample support from faculty to help grow as an instructor.
Department Activities: This year I have worked as a graduate administrator in the multiliteracies center (MTMC), and I have also served as the HU-Grad coordinator that serves RTC grad students by working with others to plan social events and graduate colloquiums.
Grad Life: I live just across Portage Lake in a little town called Dollar Bay. I enjoy living close to the water and all the bike trails in the area. The Keweenaw Peninsula is a special place with plenty of outdoor recreation and beauty keep my free time occupied all year around.

Place the first piece of dough on the table and put on top 1/4 to 1 oz. mounds of stuffing 2 inches apart. Brush egg white around each bit of stuffing with a pastry brush, making the dough damp.

An Albuquerque restaurant was forced to shut down after a complaint to the Health Department.
Inspectors with the Albuquerque Environmental Health Department checked out the Down and Dirty Seafood Boil at 6100 Fourth St. NW after a customer reported sewage flowing from the restaurant to the street.
Inspectors said they found a sewer clean out cap missing, a grease trap overflowing, sewage pooling on the ground near the grease trap and pools of sewage near the exterior of the restaurant.
A co-owner of the restaurant said the grease trap in the back of the building, which is not connected to the restaurant or the kitchen, overflowed and ran into the street and that the restaurant has cleaned up the mess.
Though the co-owner said there was no sewage, the Health Department confirmed the grease trap overflow and exterior flow to the street.
The restaurant was closed down so it could clean the mess.
The following restaurants received green stickers: Denny's on Coors, Dion's on Coors, Golden Pride Chicken on Central and Sharky's Fish and Shrimp on Central.

[3.5]--Beyonce has done a 360 on this album,
This review is from: B'day (Audio CD)
When I heard `Déjà vu' on the radio repeatedly I still wasn't quite impress. But then I heard `Ring the Alarm' I had decided to check it out. B'Day is one of those rare albums that popular artists release that completely throw away all previous conceptions. Shedding her good girl image and reveling in angst and sexual provocateur, B proves that she's more relevant than ever. I do like this album but Beyonce borrows from a lot of people style (which she thinks is original) because `Déjà vu' is Teena Maire all day long. Moreover, you can tell she wrote `Upgrade U,' `Ring the Alarm' and `Freakum Dress' because they are not as sharp lyrical as the rest of the songs. If you are a true Beyonce fan you should know she writes her true feelings in her music. Although she is a quiet as kept type of person, Beyonce has few talents and also reveals much of herself through her music.
The Neptune's produced song `Kitty Kat' features Beyonce crying out for some lovin'. It has elements of Kelis, Marvin, and all the soul-singers, yet it's still fresh and original. On the slow jam `Irreplacable,' B sounds out on love lost and mistakes you shouldn't made. It's beautiful but still very funky. Another highlight includes the bizarre `Freakum Dress,' where Beyonce sings about enticing a stranger 'cos she ain't getting any from her man. All of this is done over the clammering Rich Harrison production. I really don't care about the amount (or quantity) of tracks that is place in an album as long as it shows some quality.
If I were to take a poll with 10 people, 7 out of 10 would prefer her freshman album rather than this one. I am very open minded to change and I embrace her new image which is sexy and physical. This album isn't bad but not fantastic. I won't be surprise if it ends up being a Grammy contender. *Although the songs mentioned are stellar. And I'm not an all around Beyonce fan, so that's saying quite a bit. I might become a Beyonce fan if she continues in this brash, raw style.

Boeing Co. is pushing ahead to hit its 787 production goals in South Carolina and Washington as a lingering safety probe that grounded the jetliner indefinitely enters its third week.
CEO Jim McNerney, in his first detailed remarks about the investigation into batteries on the new airplane, said Wednesday that the company is working "around the clock" with regulators and experts to find and fix the "root cause" of the problem.
"When we know the answer, we'll know the answer, and we'll act on it," McNerney said during a conference call with financial analysts and journalists.
He would not speculate about the possible causes of the battery malfunctions or when investigators will zero in on the exact problem.
"We have no idea, yet, even though we're making good progress, and we're narrowing down the things that could have gone wrong," he said.
Also unknown is when the Dreamliner will be cleared to fly again.
"In 2013 our first order of business, obviously, is getting the 787 back into service," McNerney said.
The Federal Aviation Administration on Jan. 16 grounded all U.S.-registered 787s after two incidents this month, including a fire on a 787 that was parked in Boston. That move triggered a halt in operations of all 50 Dreamliners that were in service worldwide.
In the meantime, Boeing workers continue to assemble the jet at factories in North Charleston and Everett, Wash., near Seattle. Suppliers also have been told to keep making parts for the grounded plane, McNerney said.
"No instructions to slow down, business as usual," he said. "Let's keep building airplanes. And then let's ramp up as we planned."
The 787 has a high profile in the aviation industry because it's made mostly from lightweight composite plastics rather than aluminum, a point Boeing has touted to airlines looking to cut their fuel bills.
Boeing has racked up more than 800 orders for the jet, and it plans to make and deliver at least 60 of the airplanes this year.
McNerney said Boeing remains "on track" to double its monthly production rate to 10 by the end of 2013, with three a month rolling out of the factory at Charleston International Airport.
"I have a lot of confidence that they'll hit their targets," McNerney said, referring to the 6,000 employees at the local manufacturing campus.
McNerney acknowledged Wednesday that airlines were swapping out batteries on the 787 at a "slightly higher" rate than Boeing had expected, while stressing that none was replaced for safety reasons. He also noted that changing batteries on airplanes "is a matter of routine maintenance."
McNerney said the company is sticking by its decision to be the first aircraft manufacturer to use lithium-ion batteries, which are light and powerful but are volatile and can overheat.
"Nothing that we have learned has told us that we have made the wrong choice on the battery technology. We feel good about the battery technology and its fit for the airplane," he said. "We have just got to get to the root cause of these incidents and we will take a look at the data as it evolves, but there is nothing that we have learned that causes us to question it at this stage."
While analysts have raised concerns about the cost of grounding and fixing the 125 existing Dreamliners, Boeing finance chief Greg Smith said he expects no significant financial impact from the 787 battery issues this year.
Howard Rubel of Jefferies & Co. Inc. agreed. The Boeing analyst told CNBC that the company can absorb this latest delay for the Dreamliner, which ran more than three years behind schedule.
"They can continue to build planes at the current rate without stretching their resources," Rubel told the cable network before McNerney spoke Wednesday.
The Boeing CEO was asked at the end of his call how management is addressing the battery issue with its 787 work force in South Carolina.
"We're telling them, number one, you're doing a helluva job and, number two, to keep charging. And you're a part of what is going to be the most successful wide-body that our company has ever made. That's what we tell them," he said.

The Massachusetts Port Authority said the Conley Terminal will be upgraded with an additional berth and three new cranes, while the Boston Harbor will be dredged to accommodate 12,000-TEU vessels.
The South Korean carrier said certain providers have been charging its customers more than what it would have charged to transport cargo and has tried to intervene, taking its concern up with the Federal Maritime Commission.
The Water Resources Development Act has mostly received bipartisan support, but Democrats in the House are upset that a provision that would have protected Harbor Maintenance Tax receipts from being diverted for other uses was removed from the final draft.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The ocean carrier's revenue declined to $3.5 billion ($3.3 billion excluding the contribution from NOL) from the $4.1 billion in the second quarter of 2015 as the persistent pressure on freight rates drove down average revenue per TEU.
The German ocean carrier's shareholders of Friday approved all items on the agenda for the annual meeting, most notably including the approval of new authorized share capital, which will be used toward the merger with UASC.
The Georgia Ports Authority plans to expand its on-dock rail infrastructure to accommodate unit trains, which officials say will offer greater efficiency for shippers as far away as Chicago and St. Louis.

Nasty Gal Founder Plans Brick-and-Mortar Expansion This Year
Nasty Gal, the fast-growing e-commerce site for vintage-inspired fashion, is gearing up for its first brick-and-mortar store.
The Los Angeles startup aims to open its first retail store in its hometown this year, chief executive Sophia Amoruso said in an interview at the South By Southwest Interactive conference.
"Our customers are shopping brick-and-mortar as well and we want to be everywhere that she is," Amoruso said. "We want to engage with her in the real world."
Nasty Gal is the latest e-commerce player looking to build brand awareness by setting up a physical retail shop. Warby Parker, the online spectacle seller, opened a store in New York last year, and men's clothing site Bonobos has opened eight "guideshops" around the country where customers can try on clothes they discover online.
Amoruso, who founded Nasty Gal in 2006 at the age of 22, sees the expansion as a chance to rethink how technology can be used in retail stores.
"Most retailers are bogged down with legacy systems that will take five years to replace," Amoruso said during the onstage interview. "I kind of want to have fun disrupting."
Amoruso wouldn't comment on how many stores she plans to open or exactly how far along the plans are for the first one.

Nasty Gal has built a big business selling affordable fashion to a loyal fanbase of women on the Web. The company had revenue of close to $100 million in 2012, up from $24 million in 2011, Amoruso confirmed in the interview.
Index Ventures became the company's first venture backer with a $40 million investment in 2012. At that point, the company was already profitable and cash-flow positive, Amoruso said.
Amoruso's success stands in contrast to her frugal and idealistic youth, when she often lived with relatives, dove in dumpsters and sold stolen books on Amazon.com, she said.
"It was my full intent as a teenager to smash capitalism and eat dumpster food," she said on stage.

Make Way for the Female Antihero: TV Takes a Page from the Bible
These days, female television characters can almost do it all. But we, the media consumers and producers, are still deciding if we should let them make mistakes, too.
And I don't mean just the I-dated-the-wrong-handsome-doctor mistakes, or the I'm-an-overprotective-mother mistakes. I mean the type of mistakes that warrant the label of antihero. Merriam-Webster defines an antihero as "a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities." Over the past several years, TV has become saturated with male antiheroes. Breaking Bad made a meth dealer Emmy gold, and Dexter garnered a cult following behind a sociopathic vigilante. But hey, boys will be boys.
Girls will be girls, too, if we let them. And girls aren't always perfect. John Landgraf, president of FX, says it's much harder to find acceptance for the female antihero: "It's fascinating to me that we just have really different, and I think, a more rigorous set of standards for female characters than we do for male characters in this society."

My urge to photograph can get a little out of control. My beautiful friend B has a KNACK for decorating...she's good at vintage. Really good. So when Wilder and I were invited over to her home for a lunch playdate, I knew to bring the camera (especially at Christmastime). And the first thing I mentioned was, "can I take pictures of your house? Oh, yes, it's good to see you!"
She obliged.
Enjoy. It is pure eye candy.
B, thank you for the precious time (I hope you like the pictures). The Asian salad was delectable, and Wilder inhaled his grilled cheese. Next time, our house! We love you.

via The Stratford Star:
Deshawn Fields, 18, of 306 Bond St., Bridgeport, was just "being stupid for no reason" according to Stratford police when he proceeded to repeatedly yell "woo" at people along Main Street, Sept. 18. He'll have to explain his reasoning to a judge on Aug. 3.
Fields was the passenger in a vehicle traveling along Main Street where an officer in an unmarked car first noticed him.
Go on.
Police said Fields "wooed" at patrons at Blue Point Grill, Acapulco's and McCoy's Pub. According to the report, "several people were disturbed over his disturbing behavior."
Maybe Consol and the Penguins will enact a citzen's arrest policy for next season. If you are charged with wooing you are bought to trial underneath Consol. Your options will be exile, or listening to Steve Mears talk about solar system.
H/t to Andy M. for finding the story.

Top Defensive Line Prospects
DT Ndamukong Suh • 6-4 • 300 • Nebraska
Suh (below) is an explosive interior lineman who plays with a relentless motor and dominates in the trenches. He's quick off the snap, uses his hands to his advantage, possesses a wide-array of moves and is able to bull rush opponents off the line. He's a player that has very few weaknesses, but he tends to read the action rather than react. Projection: First Round
DT Gerald McCoy (JR) • 6-4 • 289 • Oklahoma
McCoy is an explosive, productive interior presence who can be used at defensive tackle in a 4-3 or defensive end in a 3-4. He possesses a tremendous first-step, uses his hands very well while delivering a devastating punch. He tends to play too high and can be handled by a large interior blocker. Projection: First Round
DE Derrick Morgan (JR) • 6-4 • 275 • Georgia Tech
Morgan is a relentless defender who possesses a solid all around game. He's quick off the snap, has an explosive first step and displays a dynamic inside spin move. He's strong against the run and uses his reach to his advantage. He's still developing as a pass rusher, and there are times where he disappears in this area. Projection: First Round
DE Jason Pierre-Paul (JR) • 6-5 • 265 • South Florida
Pierre-Paul is an intriguing, raw pass rushing prospect who has tremendous athleticism and upside. He's versatile and can play with his hand in the dirt or standing up. He has an elite frame, long reach and natural physical gifts. He has to improve his overall technique, especially the use of his hands; he doesn't shed blocks consistently. Projection: First Round
DE Everson Griffen (JR) • 6-3 • 265 • USC
Griffen is an emerging pass rusher who has a rare combination of size and speed. He generates a burst off the line, displays balance and body control. He plays with an inconsistent motor and doesn't give maximum effort on every down. Projection: First Round
DT Dan Williams • 6-2 • 329 • Tennessee
Williams is a powerful player who can control the flow in the trenches. He's a premier interior force that displays explosion off the snap, plays with leverage and bull rushes opponents up the field. He has to use his hands better and can't always rely on his strength. Projection: First Round
DT Jared Odrick • 6-5 • 301 • Penn State
Odrick is athletic and versatile; he can line up inside or outside, depending on the defensive scheme. He has a great frame and a strong upper-body. He doesn't track the ballcarrier well in space and will miss tackles on the perimeter. Projection: First Round
DE Carlos Dunlap (JR) • 6-6 • 290 • Florida
Dunlap displays good burst , uses his size to his advantage to deliver a devastating initial jolt and has the strength to take on double teams off the edge. He uses a dynamic inside spin move. He relies on his strength, not his technique. Projection: Second Round
DE Corey Wootton • 6-6 • 275 • Northwestern
Wootton is an explosive pass rusher who possesses an elite frame, long wingspan and quick first step. He's has played inside and outside. He has to sink his hips better when tackling in space. Projection: Second Round
49ers Needs At Position: 6
Current Players: Aubrayo Franklin (NT), Justin Smith (DE), Isaac Sopoaga (DE), Ray McDonald (DL), Kentwan Balmer (DL), Ricky Jean-Francois (DT), Demetric Evans (DE), Khalif Mitchell (DT), Derek Walker (DL)
Positional Overview: Franklin finally received some long-deserved recognition last year and the 49ers used the franchise tag to keep him around for 2010. Smith, meanwhile, is one of the most underrated players in the league. Sopoaga is a two-down run stuffer only, while McDonald plays tackle in the nickel defense. Balmer, a former 1st-round pick, has been a major disappointment. Jean-Francois will push for playing time this year. Evans is a veteran who gets the occasional snap when Smith needs a blow. Mitchell impressed in camp last year.
When to Address: Sixth round.
Who's There: As usual the best defensive end prospects, such as Morgan and Pierre-Paul, are guys suited for a 4-3 defense. The best ends sturdy enough to play in a 3-4 are Dunlap from Florida or Alex Carrington of Arkansas State and they're both guys to think about in the second round. Odrick from Penn State is a 'tweener who'll likely play tackle for a 4-3 team or end for a 3-4 squad, but he figures to go late in round one. There are a couple of sensational tackle prospects in Nebraska's Suh and Oklahoma's McCoy, but they'll both top five picks. Vince Oghobaase from Duke is a great athlete for a late-round prospect.
SFI's Pick: Vince Oghobaase, Defensive Tackle, Duke, 6'6" 310 lbs. It's awfully tempting to take an end to start opposite Smith and replace Sopoaga, and maybe that's what the 49ers will do. With their second sixth round pick though, they need to pick up a "Plan B" in case they can't sign Franklin to a long term contract. Oghobaase is raw, but he held up well last year playing in the SEC without much help around him.

Nature: Research shows that Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud are the best scientists ever!
Assessment has become ubiquitous in the present science system. Particularly output measures such as the Impact Factor or h-index are very influential in determining scientific progress at all career stages. Presently, there is a surge in resistance against this assessment regime – resistance that also criticizes many other things going wrong in the present science system. One example for such resistance is the Science in Transition movement that just organized an international meeting at the Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam.
Nowadays, people are assessing everything. Particularly in science and academia, evaluations have become ubiquitous. To assess the quality of a researcher, citation indexes such as the ISI Journal Impact Factor or the h-index have become tools that are decisive in granting research funds and assigning tenured positions; they determine careers, who is to stay and who has to leave academia.
The Impact Factor reflects the popularity of a journal, understood as the mean number of citations per article within the previous two years; by contrast, the h-index relates to the productivity and citation frequency of an individual researcher, where h is the number of papers that have at least h citations. For example, a researcher with ten publications that are cited at least ten times each will have an h-factor of ten.
Quantifying quality
Ever since these measures exist, there has been much critique by the assessed scientists themselves as well as by theoreticians investigating how the quality of science can be measured in the first place and what could go wrong if this is done in a bad manner. Eugene Garfield who is considered as one of the founders of bibliometrics and scientometrics and who developed the Impact Factor conceded that there is much critique while advocating that there was just no better alternative system available (Garfield, 2006).
One of the absurdities of his measure is that it really only tells you something about the popularity of a journal and of the field it represents. It was originally meant to assist librarians, not research grant or tenure committees, simply because it does not tell you anything about the individual researcher.
Everything is counted, even if the count is meaningless
Yet, for example, the Dutch Research Foundation (NWO) still asks people submitting research proposals to first report the mean Impact Factor of their field and then to provide the Impact Factor for each of their publications' journals. Although this is obviously a confused way of assessment, colleagues from the natural and life sciences are strictly required to provide the information while this is voluntary for others.
Performance metrics based on values such as citation rates are heavily biased by field, so most measurement experts shy away from interdisciplinary comparisons. The average biochemist, for example, will always score more highly than the average mathematician, because biochemistry attracts more citations. (Richard Van Noorden, Nature.com)
The advantage of the h-index is that it is at least a measurement about the individual, because it reflects productivity and an indication of his or her number of citations. Obviously, this still does not tell you much about the quality of research, as people might also refer to work because they are criticizing it or because the number of citations within a field, the so-called citation density, varies strongly. For example, molecular biologists refer to many more other papers in their publications than psychologists, leading to higher h-indexes in one field than in another. Yet the index, just like the Impact Factor, is often used as a surrogate measurement of scientific quality.
Science in Transition
I just attended a two-day meeting of an originally Dutch initiative called Science in Transition (see their position paper Why Science Does Not Work as It Should And What To Do about It, PDF). With the participation of scholars from Harvard and Oxford they met at the Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam on November 7 and 8 (day 1, day 2). The scholars there reacted to many problems and wrong incentives within the current science system.
Modern scientists are doing too much trusting and not enough verifying—to the detriment of the whole of science, and of humanity. … Even when flawed research does not put people's lives at risk—and much of it is too far from the market to do so—it squanders money and the efforts of some of the world's best minds. The opportunity costs of stymied progress are hard to quantify, but they are likely to be vast. And they could be rising. (How Science Goes Wrong, The Economist)
The attendants proposed several improvements that would be easy to implement. One of the issues referred to several times were the implications of research assessment, particularly when this reduces researchers to a number such as the Impact Factor or the h-index. Some presenters referred to their own h-indexes of twenty or forty as particularly high. However, a study summarized in a news feature just published on Nature.com tested who is the most successful researcher ever when calculating their h-indexes – and the results make such values between twenty and forty appear humble (mine is actually only seven).
And the winners are...
Of almost 35,000 researchers whose data are gathered on Google Scholar, it is actually the psychologist Sigmund Freud who has the highest h-index, namely 282, followed by the physicist Edward Witten with a score of 243. However, Filippo Menczer at the Indiana University Bloomington and his colleagues who carried out this calculation, noted that the h-index does not take into account different citation practices within the disciplines, such as the citation density I referred to above.
They thus proposed to divide a scholar's h-index by the average h of their scholarly field to gain a more valid measure that also allows for comparison between disciplines and called this new value the hs-index (Kaur, Radicchi & Menczer, 2013).
...Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud
When performing this correction, the number one scientist ever actually is Karl Marx, assigned to the discipline of history, with an hs-index of 21.5, far ahead of number two, Sigmund Freud with 14.8, Edward Witten, with 12.9, the philosopher Jacques Derrida with 12.5, and developmental psychologist Jean Piaget with 11.6. (An hs-index of ten means that this researcher has an h-index ten times as high as the average of his or her field – are you still following?)
These numbers may be surprising, considering that history, philosophy, and psychology often are not considered to be the most prestigious scientific disciplines, and there is no Noble Prize awarded in these fields. Yet, their work apparently is enormously successful in influencing and inspiring fellow researchers until today.
If you, as an evaluator, have to rely solely on corrected h-indices to compare academics, says Ihle, "then you're dumb, and you don't understand what you are doing". (Richard Van Noorden, Nature.com)
Yes, it's strange, but that's just the way it is
If you start asking yourself what the value of all this counting, dividing, calculating, and comparing is, then you start getting the right feeling: Namely, that these are indeed strange things, particularly when assessing the quality and impact of an academic. Yet, the bad news is that this is what the system is like and what it has been like for decades. Most of the people now in powerful positions within science adapted to this strange system and forced others, their PhD students, research associates, and others they evaluated, to adapt to it as well – or to turn away in disillusionment.
Of course, there are exceptions, there is the occasional supervisor who prefers fewer papers of a higher quality above more papers of bad quality, as they now actually offer PhD students at the University Clinics Utrecht to submit a dissertation with four instead of six papers – given they meet the higher quality standards –, as I just learned at the Science in Transition meeting; or there is the occasional dean who communicates to his faculty members that he or she does not insist on maximizing rather meaningless assessment figures instead of following inspiring lines of research and educating people ready to become public intellectuals.
Many critics are old
There are also those who openly criticize the science system, like the members of the Science in Transition movement, but frequently they are academics at a late or very late stage of their career, long after their positions became tenured, long after they adapted to the corrupted and potentially corrupting incentive systems, and long after they encouraged others to adapt to it, too.
You may ask whether "corruption" is too strong a term to use, but here I refer to the explicit use by three former or present presidents of international neuroscience federations in a critical comment published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA:
It is our contention that overreliance on the impact factor is a corrupting force on our young scientists
(and also on more senior scientists) and that we would be well-served to divest ourselves of its influence. … The hypocrisy inherent in choosing a journal because of its impact factor, rather than the science it publishes, undermines the ideals by which science should be done. This contributes to disillusionment, causing some of our talented and creative young people to
leave science. (Marder, Kettenmann & Grillner, 2010, p. 21233)
But we can change the system
"Corruption" and "hypocrisy" are very strong words, indeed. I could not count how many young colleagues I talked to in the recent years who had become very cynical, openly talking about leaving the country to look for a place where the system works better or leaving science completely to become a commercial researcher or science journalist.
Wouldn't it be nice, by contrast, to change the system, in particular the incentive system, such that it guarantees a reliable, trustworthy, and valid science and the idealists who scientists often are actually enjoy working in it? To achieve this, sometimes less of what we have become used to achieve would be more.
Do you want to know what's in the sausage you are eating?
Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898), first Chancellor of the German Reich, once said: "The less the people know about how sausages and laws are made, the better they sleep at night." Obviously, Bismarck's interest was not to have educated and enlightened citizens, but to maximize the power of the leading elite while the common folk raise children that will be suitable soldiers for the Emperor.
Of course, if you want to sleep well, then do not investigate into the power and knowledge production structures of science; but perhaps it may be worthwhile, particularly for the younger colleagues, to have a couple of bad nights in order to increase the match between scientific idealism and scientific practice in the long run.
Now who is the best scientist, after all?
The brief discussion of the Impact and the h-index was just one example. One could simply claim that these measures should be replaced by better ones, which certainly are available and may do more good than harm when applied with care. Yet, it should still be disconcerting that these invalid measurements were used and applied by so many intelligent people for so long – and what the consequences of this counting regime are and will be for the time to come.
It may be worthwhile to consider not just replacing one way of assessment with another one, but to ask the more foundational question what all this assessment means in the first place, who wants it, whose benefit it is, what it is good for, and where it is (in)appropriate to be applied.
Or, of course, you could just bite the bullet and accept that Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx have indeed been the best researchers ever.

Of the serious corneal ulcers the most frequent are those due to pneumococci, while next in frequency of occurrence are those due to diplobacilli. The characteristics of the pneumococcus ulcer, or ulcus serpens, are so well known that it is not necessary to discuss them here at length, but it may be well to emphasize certain features. Undoubtedly the most common cause for this type of ulcer is trauma, but there are two other causes that are often not recognized, namely, herpes corneae and glaucoma. Peters,1 in fact, insists that the peculiar character of ulcus serpens is dependent on a neuropathic basis. This I think is doubtful, but it is probable that in many cases corneal herpes permits the pneumococcus infection to take place. After the infection has become well established the herpetic condition is obscured and so escapes recognition. The course of these cases, however, usually seems to

Holding The Gains
Once you come up with the elegant solution, how do you make sure that you won't have to turn around and solve it again tomorrow?
Code libraries are nice; every programmer's got a big directory full of snippets and clippings, past projects and hard-won knowledge. But after a while you spend more time trying to remember where you put things than it'd take to do it over. Also, languages change, platforms change; there's a lot of
going on.
One possible method would be to use web-page-like keywords in some kind of differently formatted comment? Then you can grep to your heart's content. Extensive keywords =)
Good question! Here's the version of it I'm currently struggling with: You refactor out some common code & generalize it for the three cases you currently have. Over time, it gets used in more & more places & generalized further. Eventually, though, you have a bit of code that is used in dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of places in the code base. You want to make a small change to it to use it in just one more place. You don't have time, however, to validate that your change doesn't break everything else. Your automated unit tests might not catch a break because they weren't written with your new change in mind. What do you do?
''This seems pretty obvious. You write a new test that will show you whether the new usage works. Verify that the new test doesnt pass. Then do the change. Verify that (1) The new test passes, and (2) all the old tests pass.''
But the old tests might
to pass because they couldn't have conceived of the function failing in ways that it can now fail but which look like success to the old unit tests. Auditing all the unit tests would take as much time as auditing all the uses of the function. (Gah! This is another one of those, it's hard to talk about without a concrete example, but a concrete example is too complex to discuss easily and would take forever to ensure you'd removed anything proprietary from it.)
If the old tests still pass, then doesnt that indicate that what they're testing, still works? You only need one test failure to show you that some behavior is broken. Therefore, write new tests that will show you if the function fails in the 'new' ways. As long as the new failure condition is covered by *a* test, you can be confident its not broken if all your tests pass.
It also occurs to me that if you have a function this complex, then something is horribly wrong.
The trouble with tests is that they can only prove the existence of bugs, not their absence. I've seen some evidence of types being a natural successor to tests. Using the maybe monad, for example, precludes the possibility of a null pointer exception. Using strict enough types seems to reduce the need to test for edge-cases. Even so, I'm not sure that types are the end of the road either. This article paints a great picture of continual progression:
