54th Annual Honors Convocation
A Celebration of Academic Excellence!
Friday, April 15 | 6:00 p.m. | SJSU Event Center
Information line 408-924-2408
We are thrilled to welcome two new faculty to our department this year. Drs. Valerie Carr and Susan Snycerski are profiled in this fall's College newsletter, Together. Follow the link to learn about all of our College's new faculty, as well as our new Dean, Dr. Walt Jacobs.
Carr, who earned her Ph.D. at UCLA before spending seven years as a post-doctoral fellow and research associate at Stanford University before coming to San José State, has found that two sub-structures of the hippocampus deep within the brain play a role in determining how vivid a memory is."When you study memory, you realize how imperfect and fallible it is," says Carr, newly hired as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology. She brings an interest in the use of neuroimaging methods like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to get a better understanding of the brain structures involved in episodic memory—our recall of autobiographical events and emotions.
In more recent research she has found that age-related changes in these areas – the dentate gyrus and Region CA 3—may account for the difficulties older people have in accessing these episodic memories.
Now, Carr is exploring whether exercise-based interventions might help people at risk for mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease by spurring the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus. "What does that exercise regimen need to be?" Carr asks. "That's my main interest."
It can be challenging to work with older adults who have mild cognitive impairment, she says. "It's very likely they're going to develop Alzheimer's disease. It can be depressing. A lot of my sense of self-worth comes from thinking that I'm fighting for those people. That gives me a sense of satisfaction in my job."
She asks students to anonymously self-report their drug use while also testing for signs of neurocognitive impairment. Based on the small sample she has collected thus far, most San José State students don't abuse hard drugs, but a fair number combine caffeine, tobacco, alcohol and marijuana in various ways., Snycerski says.These days, she's looking at simultaneous poly-drug use, where someone takes two mind-altering substances at once. "There isn't a lot of research in that area," says Snycerski, who recently joined the Department of Psychology as tenure-track assistant professor after 10 years as a lecturer.
The Warren, Mich., native earned her master's and Ph.D. from Western Michigan University, where she studied the effects of drugs in animal models. Later, she did a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute on Drug Abuse researching gamma-hydroxybuterate—better known as the date rape drug GBH.
Snycerski and her husband, Sean Laraway (an associate professor in the department), moved to San José in 2004 without having jobs. He started teaching at San José State that year as a lecturer and joined the tenure track in 2008. Snycerski began teaching classes as a lecturer in 2005 and she has also served as a major advisor since 2008. "I really enjoy it," she says. "It's a great way to communicate with the students outside the classroom."
Snycerski says she's excited about having more time and resources for research. "It's a nice change," she says. "I'm looking forward to my new role."

Congratulations to Psychology majors Jessica Ballin and Rebecca Sandoval on their award winning presentations at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS), in Seattle, WA this November 11-14.
ABRCMS is one of the largest, professional conferences for underrepresented minority students, military veterans, and persons with disabilities to pursue advanced training in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). ABRCMS attracts approximately 3,600 individuals, including 1,900 undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students, 400 graduate students and postdoctoral scientists and 1,300 faculty, program directors and administrators. Students come from over 350 U.S. colleges and universities.
A group of SJSU students and faculty attended this year's conference to present the research they've been conducting here at SJSU. The students are participants in the MARC, RISE, LSAMP and CoSRaTS programs housed in the College of Science. Five students received an award for their presentations: Jessica Ballin (Psychology, MARC), Rebecca Sandoval (Psychology, MARC), Fauna Yarza (Biological Sciences, RISE), Elivia Silva (Biological Sciences, RISE) and Adrian Riives (Chemistry, RISE).
Congratulations to all of our remarkable young researchers!
Dr. Glenn Callaghan has won the 2015 D'Arpino Essay Contest. The contest asked participants, in one page or less, to answer the questions, "WHO and WHAT am I?". Students and faculty in the Department of Psychology were eligible to submit essays and eight brave souls rose to the challenge. The anonymous essays were judged by Emilio "Chick" D'Arpino himself and, while all of the entries were excellent, Dr. Callaghan's was judged best. Read the winning essay below.
I will offer a brief response and then elaborations to the two thought provoking questions.
Who am I? I am me.
What am I? A social being seeking to connect and find meaning.
Here are the elaborated answers.
Who am I?
I am me. I am the sum of an ontogenic history, a sense of self that has evolved over time and place to become the context of my own experience of thought and feeling, a self that both responds to, and narrates, my existence. I am both unique at the idiographic level of existence and also part of a collective whole at the larger epistemic level of evolution. The "me" that exists is ephemeral; it is a sense that accidently (or by design) accompanies a body made to survive and to adapt.
What am I?
I am a social being seeking to connect and find meaning. I am if nothing else a social primate, raised to interact and connect with others. That is part of my evolution at a genetic level. While some of us seek more contact, and others less, we are all social animals. Connection can be understood as a deeper form of contact, one that sustains an existence beyond survival. Finding meaning is what makes us truly human. I seek meaning and understanding – I seek answers to questions and reasons for why we do what we do.
Who am I? I am me, this me. What am I? One who seeks connection and meaning.

Recovery and Polyamory
I am very moved by this thread, and am glad that I found it here. I am very familiar with the 12-steps and they pretty much are my guide to life and religion, though in practice by imperfect human beings, as we all are, they have had mixed success.
My addictions are of the behavioral type rather than the substance type. The fellowships that I have attended originated in the late 70's and have not had the meteoric growth that AA, founded in 1935, has had. There may be a reason for this. I'm not sure that behavioral addictions translate perfectly from the AA model, though many zealous advocates say there is no difference.
So, we have yet to discover the key to becoming fully functional, healthy, addiction free humans
Duh, if we had we wouldn't be still considering the Keystone Pipeline. And, though some people consider Bill Wilson, the founder of AA, who brilliantly wrote the 12 steps in a blaze of inspiration overnight, to be the second coming of Jesus Christ, if you read his biographies (all of which I have) you will learn that he was one weird Dude. (Well, maybe so was Jesus.)
So, having said a lot and said nothing, I'll add that I feel a bit hesitant to discuss my shortcomings in an open forum, maybe private messages would be better. And, as to sponsors, I have such an aversion to authority figures, that my experience with sponsors has been abysmal. I have had better luck with "peer to peer" recovery or something called "co-sponsoring."

Say a prayer for Eleanor Josaitis.
The tireless co-founder of Focus: HOPE was resting in hospice care at the time this column was written. Resting? Eleanor? Hard to believe. But at 79, she was in the last rounds of another bout with cancer, surrounded by her immediate family.
That would be one of her smaller crowds.
She has employed thousands, inspired tens of thousands, influenced millions -- yet many do not know her name. She made no movies. She sang no pop songs. She started in a basement with a few friends, a housewife and a mother who took stock of the world around her in the 1960s -- especially the racial tension in Detroit -- and decided she needed to help.
Along the way, as with many who try to bring people together, she was vilified, cursed at, her offices were firebombed. She just kept going. You couldn't stop Eleanor Josaitis. Cancer may be trying. But I'm sure it's sorry it ever took her on.
"She would not take no for an answer," Frank Kubik said last week. He would know. He started with Eleanor in 1981 when she hired him as a warehouse worker. "I was scared to death of her. I thought I'd be gone in six months." His six months turned to 30 years. Thanks to her inspiration, Kubik now runs Focus: HOPE's Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which helps feed around half a million people a year.
Eleanor has a way of doing that. Grabbing the best part of you and stretching it over the years like pizza dough.
A lot of Detroiters have an Eleanor story. For me, she has been a professional friend, a smiling face that let me know if she was somewhere, it was probably a good place for me, too. We didn't eat dinners together, or see movies. We ran into each other the way so many in Detroit ran into Eleanor -- in the streets, working, representing her group, feeding people, appearing on their behalf. She always struck me as a force. Not in body. She is not a big person. But a fire shone behind her eyes and when she took your hand or started a conversation, you sensed she was thinking, "I wonder how this guy can help the needy."
She was passionate and insistent and her catch phrase was always "I refuse to be intimidated" -- as if anyone would be stupid enough to try. She began by taking on stubborn racial attitudes. (Focus: HOPE, founded with the late Father William Cunningham, is still referred to as a civil rights organization.) She pushed for harmony when fires of hate were smoldering. And as a white woman of the '60s and '70s, she was viewed by some as taking the wrong side.
The heck with them.
Eleanor never saw color. She saw humanity.
If you go to the campus of the organization she co-founded, you'll see acres of sparkling effort, education, computers, job opportunities. She understood you need skills and teaching to break a cycle of discrimination, and her idea of leveling the playing field was first making a playing field -- a big one -- where people could see their lives improved. Her organization is so perfectly named. Focus: HOPE. What is more nourishing than that word?
Kubik visited Eleanor a week and a half ago. He read aloud some pages from her daily prayer book and although "her face was pained, she seemed happy."
This city has many Eleanors, people who labor for others with no fanfare. But it can always use more, especially now.
Say a prayer for Eleanor Josaitis.
She'd do the same for you.

Prosecutors collected a "great deal" of "highly incriminating" evidence against Jerry Sandusky, including interviews with several other victims, that was never introduced at his June trial, according to a transcript of a closed-door hearing released Tuesday.
During a June 26 conference, Deputy Attorney General Frank Fina expressed concern that some of this information had emerged in news reports on the case. He worried that continued leaks could harm Sandusky's accusers and taint the ongoing investigation.
His concerns have since prompted a judicial probe into leaks of secret grand jury material in the case of Sandusky and two Penn State administrators charged with lying about their knowledge of his actions.

Stiverne Waits For Klitschko, Not Thinking About Arreola
By Rick Reeno
The WBC's mandatory challenger, Bermane Stiverne (23-1-1, 20KOs) is not even contemplating a rematch with Chris Arreola (36-3, 31KOs). Stiverne wants to wait until the WBC's heavyweight champion, Vitali Klitschko (45-2, 41KOs), reveals whether or not he plans to keep fighting. There is a chance that Vitali, 42-years-old, will retire to pursue a full-time career in politics.
Vitali has been inactive since a TKO of Manuel Charr in September of 2012. He is not expected to fight again until the first half of 2014.
Stiverne fought in April of this year, when he pulled off a very impressive unanimous decision over Arreola. Arreola bounced back earlier this month with a first round knockout of Seth Mitchell - but Stiverne was not exactly impressed by that performance.
"Chris was Chris. I thought he was going to come out with something different, but he came out with the same style. For Mitchell it was just a matter of time [before something like that happened]. No chin, but it was just a matter of time. [Boxing] is not for him. It's not something that he should be doing, it's just not for him." Stiverne told BoxingScene.com.
After defeating Mitchell, Arreola called for a rematch with Stiverne. If Vitali vacates his title, Stiverne and Arreola are the highest ranked contenders and the sanctioning body would likely order them to fight for the vacant belt.
"Oh yeah, but in the meantime Vitali is the only thing on my mind right now. Until he's confirmed that he's not coming back, then we'll move on to something else. I've been like this my entire career, waiting and waiting. So if I can wait for the smaller fights - why not wait for the biggest. I'm the gym, I keep busy and it's not really a long wait," Stiverne said.
"Within the next few days or a week, something has to give. We just heard that in November [the WBC] are going to vote to see if Vitali can fight someone else and that is unacceptable. In the next few days, something is going to be done about that."
Yes, Stiverne should get his title shop asap. But lets be realistic he as a fighter and warrior should be staying active instead of waiting and mean while his skills erode. He still a fighter who is learning he aint…Comment by Hougigo on 09-17-2013
[QUOTE=BostonGuy;13758642]That scenario isn't fair to Stiverne; he played by the (WBC) rules and earned his title shot. Why should he have to pay second fiddle to the winner of Haye-Fury? And also, what does he do in the meantime? -…Comment by Jack Napier on 09-17-2013
even an old, injury ridden, disinterested Vit should whip Stiverne but nonetheless, Stiverne is right to prioritize the title fight he already beat Arreola clearly and doesn't owe him anything if Vit fights again it has to be against Stiverne,…Comment by Dr.Eisenfaust on 09-17-2013
I , as a huge Vitali Klitschko fan, must recognize that it's not fair. But let's face it, wouldn't be a Vitali Klitschko vs David Haye fight a huge one ? It would be ideal to watch Vitali fight Stiverne…Comment by BostonGuy on 09-17-2013
[QUOTE=andrewa1;13758536]Vitali's plan is the best for all concerned. He fights and beats the winner of Haye/Fury as a final fight and then retires, and Stiverne can either be awarded the vacated belt or can rematch Arreola for it. Stiverne's team…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (7)

DIY Recycled iPhone and iPod Case Made from a Juice Box
Juice boxes are great. Whether you're 9 years old or 99 years old, you can appreciate the convenience of a single-serving, portably-packed drink of fruit juice. But the boxes those drinks come in? Not so great. Those wax-coated cardboard boxes aren't so green, and they're really energy intensive to recycle. Instead, take matters into your own hands and DIY this re-use project. With a little ingenuity (and a little thread), you can create a case for your cell phone or point-and-shoot digital camera. Randomly Ross showcases in a photo set on Flickr the process he uses to transform cool foreign juice boxes into sleeves for his gear. While there isn't extensive instructions, you can totally see how it's done photo set on Flickr">through his photos. And if you're not interested in DIY? No problem. Randomly Ross sells his recycled juice box wares at Artboxe.com.

Hoffman won his second Best Actor Oscar for his performance as the endearing but rule-bound Raymond Babbit, an autistic savant who can memorize phone books and is, of course, "an excellent driver." One of Hollywood's favorites since the '60s, he was Oscar-nominated again for 1997's "Wag the Dog." Since then, he's played Ben Stiller's dad in "Meet the Fockers," voiced Master Shifu in "Kung Fu Panda," and directed his first film, "Quartet." In 2014, he'll costar with Jon Favreau in "Chef."
After 1986's "Top Gun," Cruise was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and the perfect guy to play impatient hot-shot Charlie in "Rain Man." The next year, Cruise went even more serious with "Born on the Fourth of July," for which he received his first Oscar nomination. He continued strong in the '90s with "A Few Good Men" and "Jerry Maguire," then launched his lucrative and long-running "Mission: Impossible" series. His next film is "Edge of Tomorrow" and there are plans for him to return as Jack Reacher.
Levinson won Best Director for "Rain Man," which still remains his biggest commercial hit. (Yes, that's him as the doctor at the final hearing.) Over the years, he's had hits ("Bugsy," Wag the Dog," "Good Morning, Vietnam") and misses ("Toys," "Sphere"). He was attached to the biopic "Gotti," but will now direct the Whitey Bulger film "Black Mass" instead.
The Italian-born actress moved to Los Angeles in 1988 and that same year landed roles in "Big Top Pee Wee," and "Rain Man," as the girlfriend of Tom Cruise, still one of her best-known roles. She also appeared in both "Hot Shots!" movies and narrowly lost out on the leads in "Pretty Woman" and "Flatliners" to Julia Roberts. In 2013, she directed her first feature film, "Miele," which screened at Cannes. She most recently starred in the Italian TV series "In Treatment."
Molen is primarily a producer, having worked on several of Steven Spielberg's films, including "Jurassic Park" and "Minority Report." He has only six acting credits to his name, including this film, as the doctor who's in charge of Raymond's money and custody.
Before playing Vern, Charlie's kindly caregiver, Roberts starred as Rooster on the '70s series "Baretta." He's guest starred on TV series from "MacGyver" to "Seinfeld," and most recently starred on "The First Family" series as Bernard.
Her role as Sally Dibbs, the waitress whose phone number Raymond recites from memory, was her first film part. Her other films include "Only You," "Beethoven," and "Jumanji," and she re-teamed with Cruise for "Jerry Maguire." She's also hosted her own daytime talk show, and wrote and directed the 2000 romantic comedy "Return to Me." She's become a Pixar regular, voicing characters in "Monsters University" and the "Toy Story" films.
Jenny had the small but memorable role of Iris, the "very sparkly" hooker who tries to pick up Raymond in Vegas. She also appeared in "Wired," "Thelma & Louse," "Leaving Las Vegas," "G.I. Jane," and (with Hoffman again) "Mad City." She guest starred on "The Shield," "24," and in "Battlestar Galactica" as the late wife of Admiral Adama. She received an Independent Spirit award nomination for the 1992 film "American Heart."
Robillard plays the small-town doctor who Charlie takes Raymond to, the one who first suggests Raymond has savant abilities. He's continued acting steadily, appearing in "Breakdown," "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," and, most recently, as Sal Nutter in the TV series "Hart of Dixie."

Can you define these popular missing words?
What desperate sick fuckers use to get laid. Its a pill form of the drug rohypnal which causes the taker...or in this case victim..to lose all self control, independence and slight conscious loss so that they can be raped without resistance. Most cases involve the rapist putting the disolvable pill into an unattended beverage.

It was a school project, so the hours added up were worth it. It was a win-win situation.
Some one is jealous emma
No, keep it down Rach! Haha...
But seriously. She posts a work of art and all you can do is question their "'love'".
I'd totally be up for a WiiChat Brawl, Deanis. xD
Nice mosaic, Apollo. Did you make it? Must have taken ages.
It was a school project, so the hours added up were worth it. It was a win-win situation.

Jealous of an online relationship? Lmao nah, I've been with the boyf for almost three years now.
I said nothing against the drawing itself, Emma is very talented. Brawny made a dig at me so all I did was reply to that. As for questioning their love and everything they know what I think about that, hah.
Back on topic, have you done them before Apollo? It's bloody brilliant.
Surprisingly, it was only my second tabletop piece. This thread has sparked my love of mosaics, i think i may get started into another piece these holidays (next two weeks or so). I might do one of those really large dishes as the base.
Any ideas to start on, anyone?
It's great that you're in a relationship, but it's rude to scoff at others. If you've got nothing nice to say, then keep your opinions to yourself. I understand the frustration you've had around the forum with them posting it everywhere, but that doesn't justify your position to question the validity of their relationship. It's as good as any.Originally Posted by surfinrach90
Sorry for offtopicness...
Apollo - stick with an ocean theme. I'm thinking clown fish. Blue and orange would contrast nicely, and it'd look nice in your new beach house.
Edit: I don't start arguments, Brawny wanted to make a dig at me so I replied.
Oh waw that's cool =]
Do a Mario one Might get yourself onto Kotaku or something hahah. But you should do something you like, one that means something to you
The house doesnt even exist yet..its a piece of dusty weedy land atm
I could do a mosaic on perhaps another ocean theme but I sorta want to change because alot of my pieces have blue/green and im sick of those colours as the base theme.
Maybe I could do a painting of a Jar containing Dirt, and a heart still thumping

One here is a genuine fake rogue; the other is unspeakable. A P/photo
Calling Sister Sarah, whose travesty of "going rogue" comes down to dishing dirt. Or Sen. McCain,
ex-half-a-maverick -- shuffle that walker to the side. Time for has-been, media
mavericks to make way for Newt Gingrich, the gutsy, grandstanding "real rogue
for real America" (trademark bidding open). This great southern rebel, the most pompous, least likely
"man of the people" since Ross Perot, assaults not only the foreign, subversive
president, but all establishment elites (richer than he) who dare cross his
fiery path.
Of course Newt's a real rogue in a less fake sort of way. Didn't Gov. Chris Christie call him an "embarrassment to the party"? Add in heaps of denigration from party attack dogs: David Brooks and Peggy Noonan to George Will and Charles Krauthammer. Even Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter. And didn't Newt himself make a theatrical bow to the "going rogue" nitwits, "Palin would have a 'major role' in his White House." Maybe running mate, in charge of energy. Guffaw, stagger. Really, what opera can afford two prima donnas full of themselves?
It takes quite a nervy, slick operator to dare slam Mitt as the lying "Massachusetts moderate" while forgetting your own similar takes on TARP, individual health mandates, immigration, and cap-and-trade. Or call yourself a "Tea Party reform conservative." Details, details. What sets Newt apart right now is not policy but full mastery of the politics of grievance, crunching Mitt's wimpy "politics of envy." So busy stewing over resentments (towards minorities), the irate fringe hasn't time for envy (well, maybe a little for the "undeserving' poor). So Newt upsets the apple cart and panics party fat cats -- as the world waits for his explosive reality show to shoot itself in the foot, pitching southern-fried race-baiting, or axing child labor laws, or obscuring his career like a crazed con man.
Take heed, up-and-coming rogues -- Newt's key to holier-than-thou, hubris-driven unRomneyhood is touting your own incalculable grandiosity. And just in time, roars hateful debate screamers, otherwise figuring only the Rapture saves them from the apocalypse of Obama(Romney)care. Newt's mavericky brand doesn't just stand alone, in defiance of current sacred cows: he's the last man standing against ever-present enemies of civilization. As Rick Santorum verifies, for Newt "grandiosity has never been a problem."
The Grandeur of Exceptionalism
Listen to Mr. Humble last week: "You're right," Newt bragged, "I think grandiose thoughts. This is a grandiose country." How facile, echoing the sound and fury (but not reality) of attacking predatory Bain Capital, daring to put "capitalism on trial" for the rubes. Though "rogue" ill-suited Palin or McCain, "grandiose" perfectly fits Gingrich, by strict definition: "affectation of grandeur or splendor or by absurd exaggeration." And boasting daily about your infinite wonderfulness only produces truly unhinged delusions of grandeur. Actually, psychologists have diagnostic categories for Newtism: "grandiose delusion disorder" or " bipolar disorder grandiosity " chiefly "associated with narcissistic personality disorder, but also commonly features in manic or hypomanic episodes." Bingo!
Sure, small-time, flash-in-the-pan narcissists like Palin exhibit derangements, lapsing into jaw-dropping exaggerations, invulnerability fantasies, and profound, unfeeling contempt to buoy the vacant superiority of spiteful put-downs. But Palin is all mouth, notoriously loyal to her fixated tribe, an utterly conventional, evangelical, moralistic, fringe Republican. What truly rogue action ever backed her loudmouth? No, quitting office prematurely doesn't qualify. Whereas, Gingrich doesn't just assail ultimate capitalism or sainted Paul Ryan as rightwing "social engineer," he directly compares himself to other "revolutionaries," akin to Pericles, Jefferson, Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, de Gaulle, Abe Lincoln -- even Moses the prophet. Look, only this epic hero returns American exceptionalism to its rightful top place.
Thus Newt's rogue grandiosity grinds on, yipping about radical reform while securing better ways for his 1% to concentrate its wealth, pushing big wars by big government, invasive state violations, and his brand of elitist, crony capitalism. Notably, Newt combines malice with belligerence, as with no-holds-barred race baiting, taking relish when "40 Catholic leaders and theologians" are shocked, shocked by his "perpetuating ugly racial stereotypes on the campaign trail." Geesh, Gingrich only wants hard-up minority kids to learn self-esteem via hard work (as junior janitors, wiping school toilets). Or else, poor folks are destined to the bleak misery of enslavement by the great "food stamp president." (Which is W., not Obama).
What, me vain and adulterous?
Did Newt not break new ground for all-out rogue gall when going on the offense re the "open marriage" debate question? Only shameless bluster could transform HIS serial adulteries into a cynical platform for HIS victimhood. Taking faux umbrage to new heights, Newt thundered, "I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that." So, it'd be okay as the second or fifth question? Not only do such assaults, Newt barks, deplete our politics of good people (though, alas, not him), but only a master of indirection crowns his harangue with this ultimate, bizarre coup de grace, " I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans."
Beyond hypocritical grandiosity, refusing any liability while projecting immorality across all national media, the unrepentant Newt drags in a president by any standards unimpeachable as a husband. As with Limbaugh, one only wonders what next outrage will surpass this elephantine presumption: "To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary a significant question in a presidential campaign is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine"? Well, actually, everyone else can imagine more "despicable" things, your election (or Trump's, Cain's, Perry's or Bachmann's).
My, my, do you think retiring Rep. Barney Frank will cap his career with this dream come true: "I did not think I had lived a good enough life to be rewarded by Newt Gingrich being the Republican nominee"? I doubt Newt wins but his "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" style, especially against his opposite, the tepid Mitt, should do-over American political roguedom. And if Newt does win his party's crown, think of the fireworks between the installed, fading "audacity of hope" guy taking on the ultimate "grandiosity of hope," fake Washington outsider. Now that battle would have historic implications, perhaps inducing exactly the purge of fakery America needs. Nah, probably not.

The beautiful iridescent plumage of the kingfisher makes it one of our most colourful and instantly recognisable birds; despite this it is rarely seen due to its shy nature (2). The upperparts are bright blue, while the underparts are a rich chestnut-red (4), although if seen in flight these colours may not be very obvious (8). The bill is very long and dagger-like (4). Although the sexes are generally similar, in breeding pairs they can be distinguished by the bill; in females it has a red base, whereas in males it is completely black (2). Although similar to adults, juveniles have duller, greener plumage (2).

LinuxBIOS at Four
I started the LinuxBIOS Project at Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) in September 1999. For the prior eight years, I had been building clusters of all kinds and had built my first PC cluster in 1994. In all this time, the BIOS had been a stumbling block in constructing larger clusters.
In 1997, I built the 144-node Cyclone cluster at the Sarnoff Corporation. As an experiment, we had only 16 nodes with video. The experiment was not successful; PCs using the standard BIOS simply are too unreliable to have the video removed, because PC failure recovery always requires interaction with the BIOS. It was clear that if we were to move to ever-larger PC clusters, we needed to resolve the problems of the BIOS.
We decided the ideal PC cluster node would have the following capabilities: boots directly into an OS from some onboard, nonvolatile RAM; configures all the network interfaces but configures no other hardware; connects to a control node using any working network interface; and takes action only at the direction of the control node.
Private industry was not the place to move on this kind of work, however, so we never were able to take these ideas past the talking stage.
Once I got to LANL, I had the ability to pursue these ideas. Several technology trends also made 1999 a far better year than 1997 to look at this problem. In 1999, motherboards with 1MB of Flash were appearing, and the self-describing PCI bus had replaced the older EISA and ISA buses completely. Also important, Linux was becoming much better at doing more configuration, as exemplified by the SGI Visual Workstation, which didn't even have a standard BIOS.
It seemed clear that if we could put Linux in the BIOS part, we could achieve our goals. Linux can do a far better job of running the hardware than any BIOS we have seen. What we needed was a simple hardware bootstrap that loaded Linux from Flash into memory; Linux would do the rest. Hence, our early motto, "Let Linux do it!"
Before we got the LinuxBIOS Project going full steam, we needed to ensure that Linux could be used as an OS bootstrap, which meant that Linux had to be able to boot Linux. By December 1999, we had demonstrated Linux booting Linux with the LOBOS work.
The easiest way to get work done in an Open Source world is to let somebody else do it for you, so the next step in LinuxBIOS was to look for somebody else's software. James Hendricks and Dale Webster found such a system in the OpenBIOS Project. In the space of five days, starting with the OpenBIOS source, they wrote and built a test system on our Intel L440GX+ motherboards that could boot the system from reset—not power on, but reset. Starting from power on would take another five months to figure out, but it wasn't bad work for five vacation days.
We realized early on that assembly code could not be the future of LinuxBIOS. OpenBIOS was a lot of assembly code, with a difficult-to-master build structure. Our small community began a search for a better foundation for LinuxBIOS. Jeff Garzik found a new BIOS and learned that STPC, which had written it, was willing to open source it. The STPC BIOS became the code base for the new LinuxBIOS. The STPC code required substantial reorganization so it could support multiple motherboards and chipsets, but it did provide a good starting point.
The next six months were spent getting a few platforms to run LinuxBIOS. Our first non-graphical platform was an Intel L440GX+ motherboard, followed by an SiS 630 motherboard. With the SiS, we got our first corporate involvement. SiS supplied data books, schematics, assembly code and technical support, all aimed at getting LinuxBIOS running on its platform.
We learned what Linux could and could not do. At the time, we were working with kernel version 2.2. We learned that Linux could not configure a PCI bus from scratch—LinuxBIOS had to do that. We were able to take the PCI code from Linux and, with modifications, use it directly in LinuxBIOS, while adding the extensions we needed for true PCI configuration. We learned that LinuxBIOS came up so fast, the IDE drives were not spun up. We continue to support a patch for Linux to work around this problem. These and a host of other lessons required some unexpected changes in our "Let Linux do it!" philosophy.
By the nine-month mark, we had LinuxBIOS working well on two platforms, written mostly in C, and we had the beginnings of corporate interest. VIA and Acer contributed data books that allowed us to port to their new chipsets. That summer James Hendricks began work on SMP support, and in "Let Linux do it!" mode, that support was written as patches to the Linux kernel, not as extensions to LinuxBIOS. At one point, with our patches, a Linux kernel could come up as a uniprocessor and enable the additional processors from scratch—something that heretofore only the BIOSes knew how to do.
That summer, Linux NetworX joined the effort, and to our good fortune, Eric Biederman got involved. Eric's most important early work was the Alpha port. Eric also cleaned up the memory startup code significantly. Our collaboration continues to this day; Linux NetworX is the largest reseller of LinuxBIOS-based systems, and Eric has spearheaded the creation and architecture of version 2 of LinuxBIOS.
That fall, we presented talks at Atlanta Linux Showcase 2000, and while there met Steve James from Linux Labs. This partnership allowed us, in the space of less than a month, to realize our dream: we built a 13-node LinuxBIOS-based cluster for Supercomputing 2000. The cluster booted to full operational status in about 13 seconds.
By 2001, Linux NetworX had completed the Alpha port for the DS10. We then built a cluster with 104 DS10s, all running LinuxBIOS. The DS10 booted more slowly than the Pentium systems, so it took this cluster 50 or so seconds to come to full operational status, a speed that still was quite acceptable. We were used to BIOSes that took 50 seconds simply to test memory.
The Alpha port demonstrated that LinuxBIOS was portable. Little if any of the code changed, and yet LinuxBIOS worked fine as a 64-bit BIOS or as a 32-bit BIOS.
Since 2001, we have added developers (there are now 11) and continued to port to more platforms, the most recent being the AMD Opteron. We envisioned LinuxBIOS as purely for clusters, but now non-cluster use far outstrips LinuxBIOS use in clusters. We thought Linux could do everything hard; LinuxBIOS does a lot now, including SMP startup. We would have preferred to "Let Linux do it", but the design of the AMD K7 SMP hardware requires that SMP startup be done in the BIOS.
We thought vendors would jump in. It has taken four years, but in this fifth year of LinuxBIOS development, we now are finding some of the largest computer vendors in the world expressing interest. We simply were a little optimistic on the time frame. Once vendors see the business case, however, they get involved. Vendors sold at least $30 million US worth of LinuxBIOS-based systems in 2003, up from $0 million in 2000.

Re: LinuxBIOS at Four
this article gives a very good summary, what linuxbios can do.
Nevertheless it's helpfull to know, what it n o t does:
1.) no provides bios-API (important for non-linux OS)
2.) no ACPI information.
3.) to show a boot-logo VGA must be organised first, this is not primary goal of linuxbios.
BTW: Any hint to access / address the normal bios in RAM of a normal booted Linux-X86-PC? Are there "Standards" where ROM is mirrored?
what use of boot-logo? just
what use of boot-logo? just unnecessary bells-and-whistles

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I just purchased 10 acres and the yard is 3 acres. The previous owner didn't mow all season and it was waist high. I burned up my old mower getting it under control and had to use my neighbors John Deere to finish. We could really use a new mower and I am considering cub cadet and John deere. Thanks

The Cub Cadet tends to be a great mower that keeps giving "year after year". I have had the model 1170 and loved it. I have so many issues with it now due to very worn and lacking the funds to actually buy a new one. I pray that somehow I'm blessed with my wish of getting a new one someday soon. Please make my wish come true. I really would appreciate it.

I have a 1992 ranch king that I have to constantly work on to keep it going, looks like a rat mower with no hood or front end on it and I cant get an even cut out of it.

A proposed rule that would make it a foul if a tackler or a runner initiates contact with the crown of his helmet has come under fire from both current and former running backs, but Hall of Famer Jim Brown said Monday he didn't think it was such a big deal.
Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, however, said Tuesday in an interview with ESPN Radio that he thinks the rule proposal is "ridiculous."
"I didn't use my head," Brown told Newsday from the league's owners meetings in Phoenix. "I used my forearm. The palm of my hand. And my shoulder. And my shoulder pads. I wasn't putting my head into too much of anything. I don't think that's a good idea. At least it doesn't sound like a good idea to me if I'm not guaranteed that my head is going to be strong enough to hurt somebody else and not hurt myself."
If a player is flagged for using the crown of his helmet, the play would result in a 15-yard penalty. Incidental contact with the crown of the helmet would not be a penalty. The rule would apply only to running backs who are outside of the tackle box or are more than 3 yards downfield.
The league studied every helmet-to-helmet play in Week 16 last year and found five backs who would have been penalized for a crown-of-the-helmet hit. "We're trying to bring the shoulder back into the game," competition committee co-chairman Jeff Fisher said.
Owners will vote on the proposal this week at the owners meetings.
Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte criticized the proposal on Sunday in a series of tweets, calling it an "absurd idea." Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk also has criticized the idea.
Smith, the league's all-time rusher, agreed that the rule proposal is out of bounds in an interview with ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on Tuesday.
"This has to be one of the most absurd rules I've heard in a long time in the game of football," Smith said. "There's no way it's possible for a running back to get to the situation where he has to make the decision whether or not to plow forward for an additional yard to keep the chains moving and keep the clock rolling to end the game or keep the chains moving so his team can continue to drive down the field to get a field goal to win the game.
"What you will see is guys starting to run out of bounds."
Smith said he was taught not to lead with the crown of his helmet, but it's natural for a running back to lean forward.
"Here in this particular case, when you do that, actually you're leaning forward, the first thing that is going to get contact naturally is going to be the head first, and then the shoulder and body is going to absorb most of the blow from that point on," the former Dallas Cowboys star said.
Smith said that if the rule passes, he expects refs will throw more flags "because they are unsure." He also said he thinks the league should consult former players before making rule proposals public. "The league itself is trying to protect players, but I think in a lot of ways they're going a little overboard. They're creating more issues than they really want to," he said.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Tuesday that he didn't think Smith would have been found to violate the proposed rule when he was playing.
"I don't think Emmitt ever violated it," Jones, a member of the NFL's competition committee, said. "When people first hear it, they say, 'Oh my God, we can't do that.' Then they see what the league is talking about in terms of really being in the open field and really dropping that head and using your head as a weapon."
Smith made similar comments last week in an interview with a Dallas radio station. Brown, however, said he doesn't know of any other running backs who feel the same way.
"Nobody I ever broke bread with, and I see players all the time, talked about using their head running the football," the former Cleveland Browns great told Newsday. "I've seen Barry Sanders and Eric Dickerson and Marcus Allen and Franco Harris, and we've all been together -- we were all together at the Super Bowl -- and no one talked about using their head."
Dickerson, however, told CBSSports.com that he looked at film of himself after he heard about the proposed rule and found evidence that he had used his head sometimes when rushing.
"I did it to protect myself," he told CBSSports.com. "Sometimes I did it to deliver punishment. It's a violent game.
"I think it's a bad rule. Mostly because it's a natural reaction. You'll never be able to police it. Running backs have to be able to protect themselves and doing that is protecting yourself."

After youve been around newspapers a few years, you soon develop a sense for which stories are real and which belong in the category of urban myth.
Experience has taught me that the perfect coincidence or the perfect retort occurs almost exclusively in fiction, almost never in nature. When you happen across a perfect sphere or a perfect cube while poking through the outdoors, your first assumption is that its manmade. Nature doesnt produce perfectly round apples or watermelons or ball bearings.
And so I was intrigued but skeptical when an email friend sent me this item about astronaut Neil Armstrong and an enigmatic comment attributed to him as he walked the moon:
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind statement, but followed it by several remarks, including the usual COM traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark, Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.
Nobody seemed to know what Neil meant by his supposed comment, but the astronaut supposedly explained many years later: Once while playing baseball with his brother in the backyard of their home, a fly ball landed in front the open bedroom window of his neighbors, the Gorskys.
As he leaned over to pick up the ball, Neil overheard the Gorskys arguing over a subject not fit for young ears, with Mrs. Gorsky informing her husband that he could have his way when the kid next door walks on the moon.
The yarn was both racy and funny, but a little too perfect, and Snopes took all the spice out of it. The story, it reports, surfaced in 1995, some 26 years after the original moon landing.
NASAs transcript of conversations from the Apollo landing shows no reference to Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky or to their bedroom episode. Armstrong says he first heard it as a joke told by comedian Buddy Hackett.
I place it beside other urban legends Ive heard and stored away in my treasury of yarns that fade in the face of the facts, like Superman in the face of Kryptonite yarns such as the one about the Mississippi lady who heard a pop inside the grocery store aisles and an impact against the back of her head, who fled to an emergency room screaming that she had been shot and her brains were coming out through the bullet hole. Turns out, a can of Pillsbury biscuit dough, kept beyond its sell-by date, had exploded, hurling pent-up biscuit at her head. Or the one about the Yankee bullet that passed through the groin of a healthy Rebel soldier and ended up in the anatomy of a Southern belle, who thereby became pregnant.
These are harmless myths, and I dont mind passing them along in the confidence that my readers are smart enough to separate fact from fantasy.
Others are not so harmless, and I often have to appeal to Snopes to help me out. During the political race, most of the yarns that have come spinning by me came from the right, since my audience is in the South and my readers tend to congregate to the right of center.
So Im left to debunk the nonsense about Barack Obamas being a closet Muslim who hides his Kenyan (or is it Indonesian?) citizenship behind a phony birth certificate. Or the photos showing the president and first lady holding their left hands over their chests when the flag passes by. (Hey, Ive worked on newspaper copy desks, and I know the technique of flopping a photo to show the subject looking into instead off the page.)
The anti-Romney yarns are less frequent in my mailbox, but Snopes has fielded a few.
Foremost, of course, is the famous dog-on-the-car-roof yarn. When I first heard it, I pictured poor Seamus trussed up like a bagged deer and strapped to the rooftop rails. The truth was less traumatic for the family pet: He was placed inside a pet carrier which was lashed to the car roof, with a windshield placed in front of it to shield him from the wind. Poor Seamus got car sick, and he and the carrier had to be hosed down. But I remember a motor trip in which our small dog was placed inside a pet carrier on the back seat with similar results. I think it was nice of Romney to take Seamus on vacation with him, especially in view of the extra trouble it entailed. After all, the Romneys could well afford to board him out for the duration.
Other Romney yarns:
The Romneys posed their kids holding placards bearing the letters M-O-N-E-Y. There was a photo to prove it. Anyone with a computer equipped with a photo-editing application can guess what happened: In the original photo, the placards spelled Romney, and somebody did some strategic retouching.
Romney once said he didnt know why airplane windows dont roll down. In this case, the candidate was commenting on a scary incident in which smoke filled the cabin of the small plane in which his wife was flying. The candidate commented that the windows couldnt be rolled down to admit fresh air and remarked, tongue-in-cheek, that he didnt know why they were designed that way.
Romneys campaign slogan, Keep America American was borrowed from an old Ku Klux Klan slogan.
Actually, that was never a Romney campaign slogan, though the candidate once remarked, Lets keep America America, which has a different ring altogether.
Being a one-man operation, I dont have the resources to fact-check everything that comes over the Internet, so I usually run it by Snopes or some other fact-checker.
By the way, I hope Mr. Gorsky didnt have to wait till young Neil grew up and walked on the moon.

I'm in the last six weeks of completing my second book (and third monograph!) and the end of my last research trip to Québec, so it's the end of the line for me. As much as I've been itching to get this book done, it's a little sad now to think of not returning to Québec. It's too bad, because I've got the condo situation sussed out, my favorite épiceries and boulangeries figured out, the vagaries of seventeenth and eighteenth-century French navigated, and now this information will become irrelevant to anyone (including me) in the next few years. Isn't it always the case that just as we get good at something, it's time to wrap it up and move along?
I guess the only way to avoid this feeling is never to finish a project, which is just a bridge too far for me. I take pride on being the kind of historian who can get stuff done, get it out, and move along. I'm a perfectionist, but I also recognize that there is such a thing as the best book I can write right now. I just can't nibble a project to death.
All this week, I've had two alternating thoughts as I've reviewed some of the archival material I've taken notes on already, as well as a few new items: first, omigod, how did I miss this the first time around??? and next, OK, this helps you and merely adds a few choice details to the story you're already telling. Still, don't most of us wonder how many wonderful, awful stories we've missed? Continue reading

I use this bag as a purse, and it is perfect for me. Bought the first one in your Boston store, and loved it so much I purchased the second online. The dark brown I originally purchased can be used as a brown or black bag, so the second one in black was a bit of a splurge, but I love it that much. iPhone (6+) fits in one of the outer pockets; I use the second outer pocket for tissues, lipstick, etc. I carry too many fountain pens, in my Levenger leather three pen pouches, which fit neatly in the third outside pocket. Inside, the organization is perfect for my iPad (in the padded pouch). In the main compartment I keep my sunglasses, reading glasses and Levenger wallet. The open slip pocket on the back is perfect for a magazine, grocery list, journal or similar things. I just wish this bag came in more colors. I'd buy each color!

This is a well made bag but too narrow. If, as one reviewer said you put a tablet in a pocket and some keys and phone it will work for you. I wanted a messenger to take on a trip and I have 3 pair of glasses and a large wallet, tissues and other travel necessities and they did not fit unless I piled things on top of one another. When the bag was so stuffed it made the pockets difficult to use with files or papers getting squished and bent. Also the strap kept getting tangled. It's a nice looking bag and seems fairly sturdy but it's only 2" wide which for my purposes made it much less useful. If you are looking for a bag with some capacity look elsewhere. If you don't carry much this bag migh be for you.

A beautiful, but rather small, bag
By Steve
from Monroe, Michigan USA
Comments about Levenger Double Pocket Messenger:
I have many Levenger products, and all are high quality -- this bag is no exception. Rich soft leather, tight functionally sturdy zippers, and lots of pockets. It is the perfect bag for someone that carries a tablet and a few small items, in a cross body carry. I do agree with some of the other reviewers when they say the bag is a little tight from a utility standpoint. I carry a Surface 3 PRO tablet, one of the Levenger notepads, and perhaps one file folder (usually no more than 1/2 inch thick) and that about fills it up. I have managed to squeeze in one of my Levenger Tyler folios in place of the notepad, but it's tight, and one runs the risk of wrinkling and bending cards that are placed into the inside pockets of the bag, unless one is very careful sliding the folio in. I also agree that the bag could use a top handle, and that the strap – while well-executed – tends to tangle. I have added a "wrap-around shoulder pad, which reduces this tendency somewhat, but I carry the bag in a one-shoulder carry, rather than crossbody.All in all, this is a high quality, impressive bag with many great features. The limitations are more specific to the functional needs of the individual owner, and are not flaws, as such. When you need to carry a little more stuff, I recommend the Stealth Laptop Messenger or the Bomber Jacket Expandable Brief – both work very well for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent bag at an affordable price
By AnneM
from King and Queen ,Vir
I have been using this bag for about 2weeks. I'm using it for work and I find it most appropriate in size, functionality, and style. The leather is top quality and the dark brown can be used with brown and black. The 2 small pockets are so functional for my cell phone and my personal items so that I don't have to carry a purse while I'm using this bag. It carries very well and is comfortable on my shoulder or cross body. A great bag with a great look!!
Outstanding Practical and Well-Made Bag
By Alex the Bag Man
from Washington, DC
I have been using this bag during at out-of-town business trip for the last 5 days, and it is a joy! What distinguishes it from so many other bags is the numerous inside and outside pockets. Enough room for me to keep a tablet, charger, smartphone, papers and other items organized and accessible. The leather is soft, and the quality of the stitching is very good. The zippers are well-sewn and solid to open and close.The bag's size prevents it from being bulky, and it slips nicely in the airline overhead or under the seat. My only wish would be that the bag have a top handle so it can be carried like a briefcase; it now has to be lifted using the shoulder strap. I did not smell a strong order upon receiving and opening the bag, as other reviewers reported. This bag is an excellent workhorse for someone who wants a practical and professional-looking case.
Outstandingly useful and versatile bag
By Alex the Car Enthusiast
from Washington DC
I have been using this bag for the last week on a business trip, and it is a pleasure. What makes it so good is the large number of internal and external pockets coupled with a manageable size and wonderful quality leather. One can easily store a laptop, tablet, phone and documents and remain organized using the pockets. The bag is not bulky and fits easily into airplane overheads and under airplane seats. My only wish would be that the bag have a top handle so it can be carried like a briefcase; now one has to pick the bag up using the long shoulder strap. I have many leather bags, but this one is becoming a favorite for its great size, functionality and appearance.

Double Pocket Messenger
By JimT
from Palm Springs, CA
I just returned from extensive travel which was the inaugural use of my new Double Pocket Messenger. The Messenger did exactly what I wanted. It held my laptop (with adapter and cords), a writing pad portfolio, a few legal documents that I had not copied to the cloud and miscellaneous travel items. For my intended use, it is 100% functional and beautiful to boot.

Took a bit of getting used to, but well worth it
By bsman
from Santa Clara, CA
I "moved into" this bag from an old Stanley bag that was finally showing the wear from about nine years of continuous use. At first, I found it a bit frustrating, because it seemed much smaller than the Stanley, but as I put more and more stuff into it, the bag never complained and accepted everything I could throw at it. It is especially useful if you travel with an iPad rather than a full-sized laptop. The leather is incredibly soft and silky, but after about a year of use, it still looks fine. My only desire would be to have handles on top -- that would make it perfect!
By DrMNT
from Colorado Springs, CO
I already own, use, and love the Levenger Metro Messenger but wanted a bag that looked more professional and had a little more room for my tech. This was perfect. My 11" MacBook Air fits perfectly as advertised, as do my accessories. It looks great and has all of the Levenger quality and extras (nice interior pockets, strong zippers, magnetic close, etc.) that I have come to expect from Levenger.
Perfect Travel Accessory
By Katsaneva
from Charlotte, NC
This bag is perfect. Has enough space for all the accessories you need on the go. Pockets to keep papers or notepads organized, they even thought of perfectly sized sleeves for your phone.

Formed as a state Learning First Alliance in 2001
In 2001, 15 leading education organizations came together, agreed on a common mission and created the Washington State Learning First Alliance (WSLFA). In September 2002, over 200 educators, representing stakeholders from elementary, secondary, and higher education communities convened in Seattle to set a collective agenda for the improvement of public education in Washington State. The summit resulted in the action plan, "Learning Agenda for Washington's Children: Shared Fiscal and Policy Priorities for 2003. The Learning Agenda is being used by Alliance member organizations as collective action plan to guide their advocacy and practice work with policymakers, educators, and the public. WSLFA has also been a key player in the state's No Child Left Behind implementation efforts.

In the alterna-quirk spirit of Garden State and Juno comes Away We Go, the tale of a thirtyish couple ready to settle down but unsure of where.
If home is where the heart is, then lovebirds Burt and Verona (John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph, both terrific) already have rent-free lodgings. But the expectant parents are looking for a physical, rather than metaphysical, place to raise their daughter. A place that lives up to their crunchy, Huck Finn-y ideals of America and parenthood.
Based on an original screenplay by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, Sam Mendes' road movie follows the couple as they test the soil of Phoenix; Tucson, Ariz.; Madison, Wis.; Montreal, and Miami. Which city is most hospitable to a new family putting down roots? And in any of them, can they escape the decanted whine of singer/songwriter Alexi Murdoch that floods the sound track?
