After hour on planes and trains and buses I finally arrived in Yosemite Valley last night. The ground was wet after a day of rain but above the tall trees I could see stars and today the dawn was clear and cold. Despite the masses of people it was quiet and still as few were yet awake. I wandered through the silent forest and gazed at the reflections of the already sunlit cliffs in the waters of the Merced River. Soon I will take my first steps on the trail.

In Yosemite Valley

A Walk from Yosemite Valley to Death Valley
In a few days I'm off on a long walk in California. If all goes to plan I'll be going from Yosemite Valley through the High Sierra to Death Valley picking up a few peaks along the way.
The High Sierra is one of my favourite places and this'll be my first visit in fourteen years, which is far too long to stay away. I've been there in spring and summer before but never in autumn. I've never been to Death Valley before nor the mountain ranges surrounding it. I'm hoping to climb the highest summit 11,049 feet (3,367 m) Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range before descending to Badwater in Death Valley itself at -282 feet )-86m). I've wanted to visit the Panamints and Death Valley ever since reading Colin Fletcher's account of crossing the area in his wonderful book The Thousand-Mile Summer many years ago.
By going in autumn I'm hoping to avoid the first winter snow in the High Sierra and also the summer heat in Death Valley. My route across the High Sierra has been planned with the excellent Tom Harrison Maps and R.J.Secor's comprehensive book The High Sierra Peaks-Passes- Trails, which I'll have with me as an e-book, plus knowledge from my previous trips. Once I leave the High Sierra I'll follow in reverse Brett Tucker's Lowest to Highest route.
One aspect of the walk I'm particularly looking forward to is sleeping under the stars, something I rarely do in Scotland, especially in summer when the midges are biting. I'm hoping for camp sites like the one in this picture, taken on a 500-mile circular route in the High Sierra back in 2002.
I'll be posting updates and pictures here and on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram when I can get a connection.

A Wander Over Helvellyn
A few weeks ago on a brief trip down south to the Lake District I spent a blustery sunny day walking over Helvellyn, a hill I haven't climbed for many, many years. I'd forgotten how its central position gives such wonderful spacious views over the Lake District and beyond to the Pennine hills, the Solway Firth and more.
|The Vale of Keswick, Skiddaw and the distant Solway Firth
Our way into the fells led up through the old Greenside Lead Mine, which closed in 1962 but which in the 1940s was the largest producer of lead ore in Britain. Today the signs of the mining are slowly fading on the scarred hillsides. Climbing steeply beside Sticks Gill we entered the wide and long upper valley of that stream and followed the path to Sticks Pass on the main south-north Helvellyn ridge. This is surprisingly quiet country for the Lake District, without many people about even on a sunny August day.
|View over the Greenside Mine to Glenridding and Ullswater
This changed abruptly as we reached the summit of Helvellyn. Suddenly there were people everywhere, most coming from the direction of Striding Edge. After gazing at the vast views we debated going down that rocky ridge but decided that the numbers of people meant progress would be very slow. There aren't many places you can easily pass others. Instead we went down the shorter Swirral Edge, along with many others, and then down to the foot of Red Tarn.
|View down to Red Tarn and Ullswater
Crossing below Catstycam we lost most of the people and also the wind, making it a hot final walk back to the cars. As we took out last steps I thought of many previous trips on this fine big hill. Swooping along it on skis on a snowy day, skittering down an icy Swirral edge with crampons and ice axe, pacing a friend through the night on his Bob Graham Round, bivvying on the summit to watch the midsummer sunrise. It was good to return.

Update: Funding secured for three years. Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS) threatened with funding cut
|Difficult conditions in the winter Cairngorms
For many years now I have consulted the Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS) forecasts and made decisions about my hill activities based on them, especially outside of summer. I know of no other dedicated forecast that provides the same detailed information, let alone in such an easy to understand manner. That I'm not alone in this was shown over the last weekend when there was an outpouring of comment on social media after it became clear that the future of MWIS is threatened by a funding cut. I've rarely seen so many comments, shares and likes on any outdoor topic before. MWIS is clearly important to many people.
Statements have been made by Geoff Monks of MWIS, Mountaineering Scotland (formerly the MCofS), SportScotland (the funding body), and Shaun Roberts, Head of Centre at Glenmore Lodge, Scotland's National Outdoor Training Centre. These can all be found on The Great Outdoors website. Reading them makes it clear that there is disagreement between the various parties but that none of those disagreeing with Geoff Monks deny the plan to cut funding.
This, I think, is a serious situation. I agree with Mountaineering Scotland when it says that MWIS 'offers unique features that have earned massive support in the mountaineering community and made it the number one choice.' At present there is no credible alternative for forecasts that can be critical in winter. These forecasts are important for safe decision making.
Whatever the causes of the dispute that is obviously going on it needs resolving fast. The first winter storms will soon be here. Given the amount of work Geoff Monks has put into MWIS it would be a shame if the service ceases. What is most important though is that we continue to have a dedicated mountain weather forecast service at least as good as MWIS. Nothing else is acceptable. This is a safety issue.
There's a petition about this here. Please sign if you'd like to see MWIS continue.

New Camera: Sony a6000
Sometimes I'm asked about the cameras and lenses I use and I have posted about them occasionally over the years. Yesterday I bought a new camera for the first time in many years so here, for anyone interested, are my thoughts about it.
For the last four years the Sony NEX 7 has been my main camera with an NEX 6 as backup. I'm still really pleased with the NEX 7 and although it's a little battered now I hope it'll last quite a few more years. The NEX 6 however, whilst okay as a backup, doesn't have as good image quality as the NEX 7 nor as easy to use controls and I've never been really happy with it.
Sony replaced both the NEX 6 and 7 with the a6000 a few years ago, having dropped the NEX name. At the time I didn't think it offered enough to justify upgrading. So why have I bought one now? With a big trip coming up (more on this soon) I want two 24mp cameras (the NEX 6 is 16mp) with a lens on each so I can use them alternatively and know the results will be the same quality. I did consider the a6300, Sony's latest camera in this series, but it's over twice the price of the a6000, which is currently available a real bargain, and its main advantages - 4k video and fast shooting - are not big concerns for me. It is weather resistant but my lenses aren't so that probably wouldn't be much of an advantage. From reading many reviews it seems the image quality is only marginally better than the a6000, if at all, and that's the main factor for me. I also briefly considered the full frame A7 which costs less with a 24-70 lens than the a6300 without a lens but I'm not convinced full frame has enough advantages to justify the extra weight.
I bought the camera from Jessops in Inverness - I always like to handle cameras to be sure I'm happy with them - and must praise the assistant there who gave good advice, listened patiently to my deliberations, and didn't try and push me towards the most expensive option. That's the way to get regular custom.
|NEX 7 left, a6000 right
So my camera kit for long trips where weight matters will now be the Sony a6000 and NEX 7 bodies plus Sony E 10-18mm and 16-50mm lenses and Velbon V-Pod tripod. On other trips other lenses may come along - Sony E 55-210mm, Sony E 30mm Macro, Samyang 12mm, Sigma 30mm.
Initial tests with the a6000 suggest the image quality is much the same as that of the NEX 7 at low ISOs, as expected. Maybe at high ISOs it'll be a little better. The controls are better than those of the NEX 6 though I think I'll miss the top dual control dials of the NEX 7. The menu system is far more user friendly than that of the NEX cameras, which involves endless scrolling. I think I'm going to like this new camera, though it'll take a while to feel as familiar with it as I am with the NEX 7.

Some books I've been reading ......
The pile of books by my desk waiting to be reviewed has been growing for months now. With a long trip coming up and much to do before I go I've realised that if I wait until there's time to review each one individually some or all will be missed. So here's brief review of seven of them, in no particular order. All are recommended.
Inglorious: Conflict In the Uplands by Mark Avery, published by Bloomsbury, £16.99
The driven grouse shooting industry has become a big conservation issue in the last few years, in large part due to the passion and commitment of one man, Mark Avery. His book is a damning indictment of driven grouse shooting and its negative effects on the environment, and birds of prey in particular. Avery's arguments are backed up by facts and careful analysis and this is a significant and important book. It's also very reasable.
Mountains and Rivers: Dee Valley Poems from Source to Sea by Brian Lawrie, published by Malfranteaux Concepts, £9.50
This little book of poetry celebrates the river Dee and the Cairngorms in which it has its source. The author captures the hills and the river and the feelings of being there well in these sparse but powerful poems. A book for quiet contemplation. Some good photographs by Mick McKie too.
The Rainforests of Britain and Ireland: A Traveller's Guide by Clifton Bain, published by Sandstone Press, £24.99
This is a companion volume to The Ancient Pinewoods of Scotland, which I reviewed here, and covers the deciduous forests of the Atlantic edge. It's packed with information plus travel details and tantalising photographs. If you're heading west and like trees this book would be an invaluable companion.
The Ancient Pinewoods of Scotland: A Companion Guide by Clifton Bain, published by Sandstone Press, £11.99
This little book is an abridged version of The Ancient Pinewoods of Scotland and is designed to be carried in the pocket or the pack. It contains brief descriptions, travel notes, maps and photographs. Measuring 16 x 11.75 x 1.25cms and weighing 245 grams it's no burden to carry.
The Invention of Nature: The Adventures of Alexander Von Humboldt, the Lost Hero of Science by Andrea Wulf, published by John Murray, £25
The story of Alexander Von Humboldt is fascinating. A huge name in science and culture in the nineteenth century he has since faded from view, hence the subtitle of this book. I knew of him from mentions in the writings of Charles Darwin and John Muir but had no idea just what an important and influential figure he was and still is, even if the latter isn't recognised. Wulf tells his story well and this book should do much to reinstate him, especially with conservationists.
Grand Adventures by Alastair Humphreys, published by Collins, £16.99
Want to plan a really big adventure? Or just want to dream about one? This book is packed with information, advice and inspiration for making that dream reality. Apart from Humphreys himself fifty or so other adventurers, explorers, climbers and outdoors people give their stories and their suggestions for everything from bicycle trips to ocean crossings to mountain climbs.
Let My People go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman by Yvon Chouinard, published by Penguin, £20
First published ten years ago this book by Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard has been extensively updated and expanded for a new edition. The author details his parallel development as a businessman and an environmentalist and how he sees the two as intertwined, describing how Patagonia is run for environmental aims. An important book that repays rereading.

Rewilding in Scotland
|Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve
With rewilding in the news again here's a piece I wrote earlier in the year for The National newspaper.
Rewilding has become a buzzword in outdoor and countryside circles in recent years, a word with enough power to really excite or annoy depending on whether you see it as positive or negative. The concept was first developed in the USA in the 1990s and meant the restoration of huge wilderness areas by the reintroduction of big predators that have a crucial effect on biodiversity. Now that's fine in North America where vast wilderness areas exist, many already with bears, wolves, and mountain lions. Some of these may have been wiped out in some areas (grizzly bears in California for example, where, ironically, it's the state animal) but the right environment is there for them to return, either by themselves when persecution declines, as is happening with grizzly bears in the North Cascades, or by reintroduction, as with the successful return of wolves to Yellowstone National Park.
|Black bear in the High Sierra, California
How though can the rewilding concept be applied here in Scotland where the whole country is only the same size as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and less than a fifth the size of California and where most of our native forests are long gone? And should it be applied anyway? As a long-time lover of wild places and supporter of nature conservation I have no doubts about the value of rewilding, of having greater biodiversity and a wilder landscape. That doesn't mean I think we should try and rewild everywhere and certainly not productive farmland. However in the hills where farming is marginal if it exists at all and the land is already fairly wild the return of more varied wildlife and vegetation should be welcomed. I first realised how bare and impoverished many of our hills and glens are after walking through huge wilderness areas on the Pacific Crest Trail in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountains of the Western USA. Here I spent week after week in beautiful forests that extended up the mountainsides before fading out as the trees shrank in size and number. There are few places here where you can see similar forests or a natural timberline.
Rewilding in Scotland means initially the restoration of a natural forest, something that's been happening in some areas for many years. Back in the 1950s and 60s experimental work on forest regeneration and preservation began on the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve. The late Dick Balharry, a key figure in Scottish conservation, was involved in this and then took the work forward in the 1980s at the Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve, where the result is a flourishing woodland on what were once bare slopes. Changes in the remit of the Forestry Commission and the reforesting work of organisations like Trees for Life, the John Muir Trust, the Woodland Trust and the RSPB has seen other forests start to spread. These areas are still small though and much more could and should be done.
|Ancient forest in the North Cascades
Returning forests can only be part of rewilding though. For a healthy, self-sustaining natural environment there needs to be much greater diversity of wildlife than we have now. In particular predators are needed to control grazing animals, not just by reducing numbers but also by affecting their behaviour so they move on more frequently and even avoid some areas completely, allowing vegetation to flourish and with it a greater diversity of birds and smaller animals. Ultimately the key species is the wolf, though much as I would love it now I think it will be a long time before we hear a pack howling in our hills, but the introduction of lynx, far more likely, would almost certainly make a significant difference. In the meantime over-grazing by deer can only be reduced by culling – we are their only predator - or by fencing. However whilst lynx are in the future and wolves far, far away sea eagles and beavers are already here. If they spread, as they should, this would be an important part of rewilding.
|No trees, many deer
Rewilding can seem to be about nature not people. It shouldn't be. Rewilding is about both. We are part of nature. In fact there could be more people living in now-empty glens yet they could still be wilder than they are now. A forested glen with rich wildlife plus human habitations is preferable to a bare glen with ruins. Rewilding shouldn't affect access to the hills in any way either. I am completely opposed to fencing huge areas for wolves to run around in whilst people are only allowed on vehicle safaris to see them. That would just be a big zoo not a restored natural landscape.
|Natural woodland beside Loch Morar
In the end the question of rewilding is whether we want a healthier natural environment with richer plantlife and wildlife, whether we want our already spectacular landscape to be even more magnificent and beautiful. It could easily be so if the will was there.

Countdown to Spring: 10 days
Singer-songwriter Brett Dennen performs at Turner Hall Ballroom tonight. Photo provided.
By the time you read this, several Milwaukee bands will be en route to Austin, Texas, or in Austin itself, to play the MilwaukeeHome Stage as part of an unofficial showcase as part of the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference. (We've got more details at Tap Milwaukee's SXSW page, and you can watch a live stream of the showcase at that site from 11 a.m. Wednesday until 2 a.m. Thursday.)
But just because a significant number of Milwaukee musicians are soaking up the Texas sun doesn't mean there's no music to enjoy here, even on a Tuesday.
Turner Hall Ballroom hosts Brett Dennen at 8 p.m. tonight. The singer-songwriter is a frequent visitor to Milwaukee, but he's in town for the first time behind his 2013 album "Smoke and Mirrors," featuring what may be his best single to date, "Wild Child."
And then there's That 1 Guy at the Miramar Theatre at 8:30 p.m., featuring eccentric one-man band Mike Silverman; his one-of-a-kind, custom-made instrument "the magic pipe;" and such silly songs as "Buttmachine" and "The Moon is Disgusting."

IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo did not practice Thursday as he continued to receive round-the-clock treatment on his ailing back.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the team does not have a hard-and-fast rule that a player must practice in order to play.
The Cowboys (8-7) play the Philadelphia Eagles (9-6) on Sunday, with the winner clinching the NFC East title and a playoff spot.
If Romo, who has not attended meetings this week, cannot play against Philadelphia, Kyle Orton will start for Dallas.
"Certainly you want your quarterback to practice during the week," Garrett said prior to Thursday's practice. "Tony's played a lot of football for us, so you would give him more leeway than most.
"More than anything, it's a health issue, and we'll just see how he's feeling."
Romo received an epidural on Monday, which the Cowboys hope will alleviate some of the issues he is having from a herniated disk in his back. The Cowboys have not officially ruled Romo out of Sunday's game, but sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen that he needs season-ending surgery.
Romo has played through pain countless times throughout his career, including playing multiple weeks with a cracked rib and punctured lung during the 2011 season. He managed to continue to play in last week's game against the Washington Redskins, directing a late game-winning drive with pain down his right leg.
"I think pain is probably the biggest issue, pain and how that relates to how you can function -- and there are a lot of different levels to that, walking around, moving around and all that," Garrett said. "You wake up in the morning, you evaluate it.
"Backs tend to kind of impact your whole body and how you can function in just day-to-day life. Hopefully he'll respond to some of the treatment and feel better as the week goes on."
Wide receiver Dez Bryant, who also is dealing with a back injury, practiced briefly Thursday before doing rehab work.
Bryant tweaked his back during Wednesday's workout, but the team does not believe the injury is serious.
ESPNDallas.com's Calvin Watkins contributed to this report.

The Island of the Day Before
Umberto Eco
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
After a violent storm in the South Pacific in the year 1643, Roberto della Griva finds himself shipwrecked-on a ship. Swept from the Amaryllis, he has managed to pull himself aboard the Daphne, anchored in the bay of a beautiful island. The ship is fully provisioned, he discovers, but the crew is missing.
As Roberto explores the different cabinets in the hold, he remembers chapters from his youth: Ferrante, his imaginary evil brother; the siege of Casale, that meaningless chess move in the Thirty Years' War in which he lost his father and his illusions; and the lessons given him on Reasons of State, fencing, the writing of love letters, and blasphemy.
In this fascinating, lyrical tale, Umberto Eco tells of a young dreamer searching for love and meaning; and of a most amazing old Jesuit who, with his clocks and maps, has plumbed the secrets of longitudes, the four moons of Jupiter, and the Flood.

On March 23, 2009 the Moscow City Court ruled that Semion Mogilevich, also known as Sergiy Shneider, will remain in prison until May 23 while investigators continue to examine his case. (Kommersant Daily, March 24). This is the third extension of his detention the court has ordered since Mogilevich was arrested on January 23, 2008 and charged with abetting in a tax evasion scheme. What makes this case highly sensitive is that Mogilevich has been suspected of having close links to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and the opaque gas trade between Gazprom and Ukraine and RosUkrEnergo.
Mogilevich is a former Ukrainian citizen, now residing in a prison cell in Moscow. He is wanted by the FBI on major fraud charges for his role in what is known as the "YBM Magnex Scam." Numerous police sources claim that he is one of the leaders of the Russian mafia, a charge he denied in an interview with the BBC in 1999 when he was still at liberty living in an exclusive neighborhood in Moscow (BBC, June 12, 1999).
Mogilevich is alleged to be a secret billionaire linked to Vladimir Putin and is reputed to be a hidden business partner of Dmytro Firtash, the 50 percent owner of RosUkrEnergo, the Swiss-based gas trader, 50 percent owned by Gazprom. Firtash has consistently denied any criminal links to Mogilevich, yet he admits knowing him (Vedomosti, 27 June, 2006). Mogilevich has also been described by Leonid Derkach, the former head of the Ukrainian security service, the SBU, as a close friend of Vladimir Putin's during a conversation with former Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma.
The questions surrounding the Putin-Mogilevich relationship - if indeed there is one - are not simply theoretical; the answers touch on the nature of power in the Kremlin; how it functions and which players serve its purposes. Part of the answer can be found in the Kuchma-Derkach dialogue held in Kuchma's office on February 8, 2000. According to a recording of the conversation made by a member of Kuchma's security detail, Mykola Melnychenko:
Kuchma: "Have you found Mogilevich?"
Derkach: "I found him."
Kuchma: "So, are you two working now?"
Derkach: "We're working. We have another meeting tomorrow. He arrives incognito.
Later in the discussion Derkach revealed a few details about Mogilevich.
Derkach: "He's on good terms with Putin. He and Putin have been in contact since Putin was still in Leningrad."
Kuchma: "I hope we won't have any problems because of this."
Derkach: "They have their own affairs" (The transcript appears in the forthcoming book by J.V. Koshiw, The Politics of Kuchma - the Melnychenko Recordings August 1999 to September 2000).
A second key to the puzzle lies in the alleged relationship between Firtash and Mogilevich in the Eural Trans Gas and RosUkrEnergo, companies involved in the strategically important transit of natural gas from Central Asia to Ukraine which worked closely with Gazprom, the Russian state-owned gas company apparently controlled by Putin.
In December 2005, a confidential Austrian police report noted that:
In August 2005 the FBI gave their Austrian counterparts a confidential report on frauds committed by the SMO (Semion Mogilevich Organization) in connection with gas deliveries from Turkmenistan to the Ukraine and the illegal kickback payments to [a] member of the organization... According to the FBI the actual control of ETG and RUE is held by Ivan Fursin and Oleg Palchikov. Hungarian police reported about an April 2005 meeting in Vienna between Ivan Fursin, Oleg Palchikov and Dmitri Firtash The FBI described Ivan Fursin, Oleg Palchikov and Dmitri Firtash as senior members of the SMO (Austrian Federal Criminal Investigation Agency Report on the Semion Mogilevich Criminal Organization, December 1, 2005).
Another document linking Mogilevich to Andras Knopf, the executive director of Eural Trans Gas, the Hungarian gas intermediary company created by Firtash to act as the middleman in the transit of Turkmen gas to Ukraine, is a letter allegedly written by MVD Major-General Alexander Mordovets on November 14, 1998 to the former first Deputy Head of the Department for the Struggle Against Organized Crime of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, in which Mordovets described the close criminal relationship between Knopf and Mogilevich. However, on September 16, 2004, six years after this letter surfaced, Mordovets suddenly recanted. In an affidavit sent to Mark J. MacDougall, a lawyer working for the law firm Akin Gump in Washington, DC., Mordovets claimed that he never wrote this letter implying that it was a forgery.
Mogilevich was arrested in late January 2008 on charges of abetting a tax evasion scheme by Vladimir Nekrasov, the owner of "Arbat Prestige," a chain of Russian cosmetic stores and has remained in jail while the investigation continues to this day. The Russian police insisted that they had been unable to find and arrest Mogilevich in Moscow earlier - yet his photograph, attending services in a Moscow Synagogue appeared on the front page of Izvestia on December 7, 2004.
The official Kremlin version of Mogilevich's role in tax evasion is difficult to believe and it could well turn out to be that Mogilevich was arrested as part of a cover up operation by the Kremlin designed to distance Putin from Firtash and Mogilevich. Putin has remained silent on his links to Firtash and Mogilevich and this might prove to be an opportune moment for western intelligence agencies to shed some light on this murky and far reaching affair.

Many people use spice grinders for coffee, but they produce an uneven result. It's better to invest in a burr grinder, which crushes the beans between two surfaces and makes it possible to select a precise grind size, from coarse to fine.

the instructor was very good in guiding every steps. He encouraged us asking questions. that was very helpful.
|George Rakauskas
|Harvard Medical School
on-line interaction was perfect.
Being able to follow along and do exercises with Tyson.
|Alice Gheorghiu
|Santa Monica College
Tyson explained very concisely and gave many examples on each topic. Also the online presentation of the 2 seminars were much fitting much better into my learning specifics.
|Brian Pena
|Santa Monica College
[What did you particularly like about the course?] The way in which the instructor encouraged examples from our own APEX environment. He helped us see ways to apply the class to SMC specific problems
|Goran Pacelat
|Allianz Zagreb d.d.
The instructor dedicated a lot of time to explain concepts that were unclear to us. He didn't went further through the course until all of us understood the lesson we were working on. He gave good examples and was well prepared for our questions.
|Joseph Myers
|Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program
Tyson was especially enthusiastic, and took time to answer any questions thoroughly!
|Jennifer Tomkins
|Univ of Cal Santa Cruz
lots of information
|Jay Alspaugh
I like the GoToTraining session.
|Rick Nickerson
[What did you particularly like about the course?] Its pertinence to what I wanted and need to know. The presentation.
|David Gruginski
On line content was very good...
Tyson was a good presenter. Learning new stuff
|Tony Bowers
|Brunswick Boat Group
[What did you particularly like about the course?] dynamic actions, error handling
|Jeff Johnson
|Brunswick Boat Group
GoToMeeting worked fine.
Tyson was a great instructor. Made everything understandable, even for a baboon like myself. I think he made a mistake once or twice, but he smoothly recovered and turned it into a learning experience. Well done!
|Scott A Gray
|Brunswick Boat Group
Text in viewing image was pretty small except when instructor enlarged it, (e.g., when typing code). Default was 56% but if I increased that size, I couldn't scroll the window to see everything.
[What did you particularly like about the course?] How to use the page designer. Tyson had deep knowledge of all topics covered and was never stumped.
[Improvement needed] Nothing - It was great!
|Marianne Shaieb
|Lawrence Livermore National Lab
Great information to expand my understanding of more advanced APEX topics. Instructor was excellent and extremely knowledgeable.
In both the intro and advance class we did not have enough time to get through all the topics. Perhaps some extra hours should be added to each class in order to cover all the material. But it was extremely helpful that Tyson took the time to answer specific questions. So i would prefer he answer these questions rather than cover some of the topics which were of less interest to attendees. I think some of the questions that were asked should have been a regular part of the coursework... e.g. developing Parent - detail- grandchild forms. Overall, I was extremely happy with the class and esp the instructor!
|Vitor Oliveira
Very well done
|Jim Jennings
|Baylor Research Institute
I liked that Tyson would use some on the fly examples. When he ran into an occasional issue, he talked through the troubleshooting steps he was taking and explained what the problem was as he corrected it. He also did a good job of answering all of my questions or pointing me in the right direction.

"I am going to put you on a bit of morphine," I said, like I was used to saying such things, announcing to dying patients that I was going to put them on a drug named for Morpheus, the god of sleep, descended from Thanatos, the god of death." A doctor reflects on the art of dying in 21st century America.
From WNYC in New York, this is Radiolab...LIVE!
The public radio science program Radiolab recently wrapped up a tour featuring their latest live show, Apocalyptical. It is, as you might have guessed, about the end times. The show, hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich and featuring live performances from comedians Kurt Braunohler and Reggie Watts and an appearance from dinosaur puppets, is now available for free on YouTube.
"We just choose to be present."
In 1986, Sandra Clarke was working as a staff nurse at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene, OR when a dying man asked her to sit with him. She agreed but first needed to make her rounds and the man died alone in his room before she was able to return. Troubled, and feeling that she had failed a patient, she resolved to gather volunteers to stay with those who were alone and close to death. Ms. Clarke enlisted her entire hospital for a bedside vigil system to help ensure that patients would not be alone when they died. In 2001, Sacred Heart formalized the program as No One Dies Alone (NODA) and over the last decade, it has spread to hospitals across the US. "Susan Cox Is No Longer Here" offers us a glimpse into the NODA experience in Indianapolis. [more inside]
We all big brother now
The imminent Childish Gambino album 'Because the Internet" (as rumored, recorded at Chris Bosh's house) leaked over the weekend so the rapper/actor provided a streaming link to an iTunes site so that his fans could hear it while supporting him. The record features songs about: Oakland, World Star Hip Hop (in reaction to being shot at in Atlanta), being The Worst, and Death (so much death).
Paul Crouch is Dead.
TBN head Paul Crouch died Saturday, November 30 at 79. Under Crouch, TBN grew to "84 satellite channels and over 18,000 television and cable affiliates around the world." But he was a controversial figure, even among televangelists. (Previously on Metafilter, [via Slacktivist])
"They're killers. Bodies just pile up here."
The victim of the first big mistake I ever made was a gentleman to whom I had never been properly introduced (and whose name I still do not know) but who was possessed of three singular qualities: he was alone in a room with me, he was without his trousers, and he was very, very dead.
"But there was nothing natural about the way Rodney Marks died."
A Sailor's Dying Wish
I really don't have anything to add to this. They piped him ashore. CMDCM Grgetich leaned in and quietly told me how significant that honor was and who it's usually reserved for as we headed towards the gangplank. Hearing "Electrician's Mate Second Class William Bud Cloud, Pearl Harbor Survivor, departing" announced over the 1MC was surreal.

'I like to think of Hart Island as New York City's family tomb'
There are a few ways to end up on Hart Island. One third of its inhabitants are infants—some parents couldn't afford a burial, others didn't realize what a "city burial" meant when they checked it on the form. Many of the dead here were homeless, while others were simply unclaimed; if your body remains at the city morgue for more than two weeks, you, too, will be sent for burial by a team of prisoners on Hart Island.

Tiny Time Machine

"Mr. Misery" was difficult to read, a tremendous challenge to edit and fact-check, and one of the most remarkably intimate pieces in the magazine's history.

"This is my gift to you. Do with it what you want."
The Course of Their Lives. While much in medicine has changed over the last century, the defining course of a first year medical student's education is still 'Gross Anatomy.' This is their hands-on tour of a donated cadaver -- an actual human body -- and is an experience which cannot be replicated by computer models. When Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Mark Johnson came up with the idea of following a med school gross anatomy class for a feature story, his editor challenged him to make it different. So he chose to intertwine the students' stories with that of Geraldine 'Nana' Fotsch, a living future donor, as sort of a stand-in for the cadaver. (Via. This four-part series contains descriptions of a human dissection. Some may find it disturbing.) [more inside]

Since 2005 she has published those letters to a blog called Death Row Diary. 'Poyck used to write about everything from the novels and history books he was reading and shows he watched on PBS to the state of the world and his own philosophy of life – punctuated by news of the deaths of those around him, from illness, suicide, and execution.' Excerpts. His final letter.
The Suicide Epidemic
Self-harm now takes more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined. Why are we killing ourselves, and how can we stop it?
Over the last five decades, millions of lives have been remade for the better. Yet within this brighter tomorrow, we suffer unprecedented despair. In a time defined by ever more social progress and astounding innovations, we have never been more burdened by sadness or more consumed by self-harm. And this may be only the beginning. If Joiner and others are right—and a landmark collection of studies suggests they are—we've reached the end of one order of human history and are at the beginning of a new order entirely, one beset by a whole lot of self-inflicted bloodshed, and a whole lot more to come.

VIDI project "Turning Over a New Leaf: Manuscript Innovation in the Twelfth-Century Renaissance" [2010-2015]
This project ran from 1 May 2010 until 1 May 2015 and is now closed. The research undertaken was concerned with the relationship between written culture and society, specifically how innovations in the technology of the medieval manuscript (the handwritten book, or codex, used before the invention of print) relate to cultural change.
Project Summary
What is the effect of technological change on reading, writing and knowledge? In the age of the Internet, the question is urgent and exciting. In fact the question is an old one, and we have much to learn from previous changes in the relationship between writing, knowledge and society. Almost a thousand years ago, in the age of renewal known as the "Twelfth-Century Renaissance," when books were still written by hand, a new communications technology appeared: a new book format, custom-tailored for the age. This new format included new types of script, new page layouts and new reading aids, most notably pagination, running titles, paragraphs, quotation marks, footnotes, cross references and diagrams. The technological innovations improved what is called "book fluency," or the ability to read a text quickly and accurately. While in the late eleventh century intellectual culture nearly completely lacked tools that could rise to these occasions, by the outset of the thirteenth century scholars had a rich palette of aids at their disposal that facilitated comprehension and speedy access. The inventions dramatically changed the reading experience of medieval individuals. It helped to create a new international community of scholars, bound by a shared desire for knowledge. And it proved remarkably durable: it is essentially the book we are holding today.
This project traces the roots of this new handwritten book (or manuscript) in the institutional homes of a new breed of European scholars, and explains the creation of new standards for book production. The Twelfth-Century Renaissance is seen as a movement that gave alacrity and optimism to educated society, whose members sensed they were living in a time different from their immediate past. Scholars all over western Europe — lacking cohesion other than a shared background (a "career," perhaps) in higher education and a deep yearning for knowledge — started to exchange ideas through handwritten books, which were disseminated through the main intellectual centers, monasteries, cathedral schools and universities. The new book format emerged because it helped to organize knowledge, convert words into arguments, and open a dialogue between author and reader. We divide the project into three parts: the applicant will study the technical innovations in book production; a postdoctoral researcher will focus on the texts contained within the new book; and a Ph.D. student will study the cultural background of its readers.
This project will have significant implications for all medieval scholars who use primary sources, because of the emphasis on the connection between the material book as a medium of communication and the knowledge conveyed by the book. Scholars have tended to focus on the words on the page – the text – independent of the material medium in which the words appeared. This project will use a field-tested methodology to show that the physical formats into which text was fitted (reading aids, page layouts, diagrams, etc.) were integral to the knowledge being communicated. The physicality of the medium is in other words a necessary subject of historical inquiry. This project will argue that medieval scholars must turn over a new leaf: we must look beyond the text that our primary sources carry, and situate the text in the context of its technology of communication. In the Twelfth-Century Renaissance, as in our own electronic world, knowledge, meaning and value are all shaped by their material means of communication.
