Psychoanalytic Research Training Program
Anna Freud Centre Program at the Yale Child Study Center Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Society University College London
Program Dates: July 15-19
(Applications Due May 1, 2013)
Download Program Brochure
A Model for Research Training
Modeled on the IPA-sponsored University College London psychoanalytic research training program (RTP), the Anna Freud Centre Program at the Yale Child Study Center research training program (AFC-CSC RTP) provides a faculty of visiting professors in psychoanalytic research to meet with visiting fellows and scholars involved in, or considering undertaking, psychoanalytic research. Interested scholars include more junior academicians or graduate students wishing to extend their research interests into psychoanalysis and candidates in psychoanalytic training.
A central part of the experience is the opportunity for fellows to present and discuss their own research projects and goals with members of the faculty and other participants. Fellows have an opportunity to refine their research questions and to meet other fellows from around the U.S. and the world and set up collaborative, consultative bridges. Relationships among fellows and between fellows and faculty flourish and continue through ongoing consultations and collaborative studies. There is a remarkable and exciting synergy between very experienced clinicians drawing from their years of clinical experience and experienced investigators trying to ask more clinically relevant questions. Fellows consistently report that they leave the program feeling more grounded with the idea of establishing an identity as a psychoanalytic researcher. Most importantly, this research training program is not intended to push fellows to produce a polished design at the end of the seminar, but rather to begin the process of refining their questions and the research focus they find most engaging.
The catalytic effect towards productive research that this seminar induces stands as one measure of its success (e.g., the number of publications, completed or active research studies, research grants that have resulted from the London and New Haven experience).
The Program
Key Goals of the Model
- To provide fellows with the mentoring they need to design psychoanalytically relevant research
- To build bridges between psychoanalysis and the empirical perspective of social and developmental neuroscience
- To foster a mentoring/collaborative relationship as well as a spirit of inquiry among like-minded psychoanalytic scholars
- To demonstrate the compatibility of research perspectives for practicing analysts when presented in the spirit of collaboration
- To demonstrate how insights from the consulting room inform research methods (and vice versa)
Key Elements of the Program
- Presentations by fellows of their beginning research questions, research designs or intriguing early data
- Presentations by faculty about their research and the challenges they encounter in their work
- Clinical-research integration with practicing psychoanalysts as members of the training faculty
- Individual consultations between fellows and faculty
- Post-training program follow-up through ongoing faculty and fellow consultation, joining a network of "RTP Graduates", submitting posters to the Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic Research Society (http://www.pprsonline.org) and other annual meetings
Practical Details
What is required: A research idea, with at least a beginning research design about which fellows seek consultation from experienced psychoanalytic researchers
Who is eligible: We encourage applicants at the postdoctoral level or beyond interested in psychoanalysis and in psychoanalytically informed research questions. Fellows at the predoctoral level are also welcome with a letter of support from their primary dissertation advisor. Previous fellows have come from developmental and cognitive psychology, psychiatry, and social work with differing combinations of research/clinical experience.
How often is the Program offered: Annually in the spring
Location: Yale Child Study Center, New Haven CT
Tuition: There is no tuition. Fellows are responsible for their travel to New Haven and their lodging expenses.

Bank of America, MBIA Death Match Hurts Both: Moody's
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -A legal battle between Bank of America(BAC) and MBIA(MBI) has negative implications for creditors of both companies, according to a report published Monday by Moody's Investors Service.
MBIA wants to tear up some $6 billion in insurance it wrote for Bank of America, arguing it was based on misrepresentations made by the bank's Countrywide Financial mortgage unit in the runup to the 2008 subprime crisis. Bank of America has countered by challenging MBIA's efforts to legally separate its MBIA Insurance Corp. unit, which wrote the subprime mortgage guarantees, from its healthier municipal insurance business, called National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation.
In the latest salvoes between the two companies, MBIA has attempted to amend the terms of certain of its bonds to prevent a potential default by MBIA Insurance from causing a cross-default by the parent company, requiring it to accelerate all its bond payments. Bank of America is attempting to block this maneuver, by offering to buy up the relevant MBIA bonds for $330 million, versus their previous market value of $200 million, according to Moody's.
The Bank of America offer is negative for Bank of America bondholders because it exposes the bank to additional credit risk from MBIA, according to Moody's. On the other hand, Moody's observes that Bank of America creditors would ultimately benefit from Bank of America's strategy if it forces MBIA into accepting a smaller settlement from Bank of America over the subprime mortgage insurance dispute.
MBIA creditors, meanwhile, would be negatively impacted if Bank of America succeeds in blocking the company's move to isolate credit risk at MBIA Insurance. That's because MBIA's parent company, and its healthier municipal bond insurance unit would be exposed to a default by MBIA Insurance. Further, it might lead to a smaller settlement, which would hurt capital and liquidity at MBIA Insurance, according to Moody's.
Despite the Moody's report, shares of both Bank of America, which got an upgrade from Stifel Nicolaus and MBIA were higher in early trading on Monday.

Skip to comments.The Great Civil War Lie
Posted on 06/11/2013 4:48:08 AM PDT by iowamark
Civil War buffs have long speculated about how different the war might have been if only the Confederacy had won formal recognition from Britain. But few recognize how close that came to happening and how much pro-Southern sympathy in Britain was built on a lie...
Early British support for the South was further buttressed by something as mundane as a protective tariff the Morrill Tariff approved by Congress on March 2, 1861. This new tariff, passed to protect American infant industries, also unwittingly gave rise to a troublesome myth of mounting trans-Atlantic proportions.
The tariff had been opposed by many Southern legislators, which is why it passed so easily once their states seceded. But this coincidence of timing fed a mistaken inversion of causation among the sympathetic British public secession allowed the tariff to pass, but many in Britain thought that the tariff had come first, and so incensed the Southern states that they left the union.
Nor was this a simple misunderstanding. Pro-Southern business interests and journalists fed the myth that the war was over trade, not slavery the better to win over people who might be appalled at siding with slave owners against the forces of abolition...
Why was England so susceptible to this fiction? For one thing, the Union did not immediately declare itself on a crusade for abolition at the wars outset. Instead, Northern politicians cited vague notions of union which could easily sound like an effort to put a noble gloss on a crass commercial dispute.
(Excerpt) Read more at opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com ...
Heavy spin. Thos gullible, unsophistated yahoos over there in the British Empire were easily fooled by the sneaky Americans.
There was a significant economic component to the WBTS in addition to slavery (and slavery was wrapped up in the economics as well). Lincoln—a man who was not exactly as enlightened in his opinions about blacks as his hagiographers have made him out to be—was very shrewd in issuing the Emancipation Proclamation and pushing the issue of slavery back to the forefront. Abe wasn't the secular saint he's been turned into since 1865, but he was a very smart man and a very sharp politician, whatever else those of us down here in Dixie may think about him.
Abolition was an economic sanction. Take the tractors from the farms. Note that the Emancipation Proclamation (1863) not only came years later, but only addressed the issue in the South, which had already seceded.
Hardly the way to treat any alleged primary reason for war.
NYT is spinning the Civil War 150 years after the fact.
More mud from the liberal pig pen.
The initial reaction in the United States was to rally against Britain, threatening war; but President Abraham Lincoln and his top advisors did not want to risk war. In the Confederate States, the hope was that the incident would lead to a permanent rupture in Anglo-American relations and even diplomatic recognition by Britain of the Confederacy. Confederates realized their independence potentially depended on a war between Britain and the U.S. In Britain, the public expressed outrage at this violation of neutral rights and insult to their national honor. The British government demanded an apology and the release of the prisoners while it took steps to strengthen its military forces in Canada and the Atlantic.
After several weeks of tension and loose talk of war, the crisis was resolved when the Lincoln administration released the envoys and disavowed Captain Wilkes's actions. No formal apology was issued. Mason and Slidell resumed their voyage to Britain but failed in their goal of achieving diplomatic recognition.
I've often wondered if europe did not have a vested interest in the US breaking up in general. For obvious reasons.
Harry Turtledove writes some interesting "alternate history" books about this period where the south does win autonomy. Interestingly, it results in a lot of border skirmishes as the two countries move west. Also, as the French and British become allies of the south, the Germans become allies of the north. This leads to an American front in WWI.
Basically, Turtledove makes the argument, over and over in his books, that larger countries result in less wars.
South Carolina before the war between the states was paying a significant part of the federal budget, far more than say Massachusettes, in excise taxes. This caused those in South Carolina to begin a secession movement as early as 1835 in its legislature. This was not a slavery issue, rather, the northern states getting a free ride on the back of the southern coastal states to which they dictated tax policy. The south was not industrialized and was never going to be due at the time to power and raw materials issues. Lastly, Britain long earlier, circa 1810, had outlawed the slave trade and slavery in 1833 so they had little vested interest in supporting a slave based economy, their interest in supporting the south had to do with regaining control of the industrializing US. Any view of history beyond that is revisionist at best IMO.
Comedy. I am sure the NYT would agree with that poppycock.
In the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812 the imports and tariff taxes in the United States plummeted and the Congress in 1812 brought back the excise tax on whiskey to partially compensate for the loss of customs/tariff revenue. Within a few years customs duties brought in enough federal income to again abolish nearly all federal taxes except tariffs. When the United States public debt was finally paid off in 1834 President Andrew Jackson zeroed out the excise taxes and reduced the customs duties (tariffs) in half.
Excise taxes stayed essentially zero till the American Civil War brought a need for much more federal revenue.
The NYT, stirring the chaldron of liberal swill.
It would not have made a bit of difference.
Very satisfying indeed.....proud to be among ya.
The Confederate "ambassador" to the Court of St. James's never even met formally with the Prime Minister or the Foreign Secretary. He later gave up in disgust and returned to Richmond, as did the legate to the French court. While the latter had been received more cordially, a dreaded alliance between the French and the Confederacy never emerged.
1. The U.S. had fought two major wars with the British, the only two major wars we had fought. The Mexican-American War not being a threat to our survival. Thus, the British considered us, and we considered them, to be high on the list of potential enemies.
2. We were an economic and naval challenger to Britain. Intelligent leaders in Britain would have realized that by 1860, we were actually eclipsing them, and becoming the most powerful nation on Earth.
3. There were still territorial issues between the UK and the US. Although not mainly resolved by 1860, they were still fresh in everyone's minds.
The normal inclination would have been to promote the weakening of the United States by encouraging civil war. This is what they did.
The involvement of the Royal Navy would have been helpful for the South, but British troops on U.S. soil would have had a galvanizing effect in the North (and negative effect in the South) far more detrimental to the South's cause than any military benefit from their participation.
The British public was very antislavery, which would have created problems for them at home.
That said, no one should discount the effect of commerce and trade. Britain needed raw cotton for its mills and the South had it. This made it well worth encouraging the South to maintain those relationships, but apparently not a strong enough motive to send warships to break through the naval blockade.
"The Great Civil War Lie "
The title is complete!
The truth is and has always been obvious for all those capable of understanding.
Semper fidelis
Dick G
Correct, my error, I was referring to tariffs.
Comedy. I am sure the NYT would agree with that poppycock.
I only read two and a half of the books and got tired of feeling like I was being strung along. His book, "Guns of the South" is, in my opinion, his best alternate history book. A bunch of german racists from South Africa in 2035 go back in time to just after Gettysburg and supply Lee with 100,000 AK 47's and the training needed. His knowledge of Civil War history really enhances the story. I highly recommend it.
We've never had a civil war in this country.
We've had two wars for independence from a centralized governing authority.
One win, one loss.
He takes the series into World War II with the Confederacy being run by a Hitler-like individual named Jake Featherstone and the South something akin to Nazi Germany, complete with gas chambers for the black population. I think that Turtledove goes a bit off the deep end with that kind of alternate history. It was interesting to see a young Jimmy Carter killed off by black resistance fighters though.
And just think . . . today's Neo-Confederates are protectionists (and pacifists).
"The tariff had been opposed by many Southern legislators, which is why it passed so easily once their states seceded. "
Either they did or they didn't. If they did then Lincoln committed acts of war against a sovereign nation. That statement, alone, says someone is acknowledging that the southern States did secede and votes were held in the US congress with such acknowledgment.
Lotta things go by phony names...that Con-Con, for instance, was a coup d'etat, to overthrow our first constitution, the AOC....and things like that never really ended...
Dick G
It's hard to view it as a coup d'etat when all the states voted for the legislation that authorized it in the first place.
If that were true, then didn't the Confederacy commit the first act of war by firing on Sumter?
Yeah. I had most of the "great war" series in hard back and was building up a collection of all his stuff when I got halfway through the alien invasion during WWII series and realized I simply was not enjoying the books and I was offended about being strung along.
I sold them ALL at a used book store. It's the one in Black Diamond next to the restaurant. One of our favorites. I still have a $7 credit there but, being in Kentucky now, I don't expect to use it much...
But Guns of the South IS a really good read. Lots of interesting action, facts and twists.
"then didn't the Confederacy commit the first act of war by firing on Sumter?"
Not when the US government was fortifying the fort in preparations to fire on the South. Not to mention that wasn't the only thing going on at the time. I know your knowledge of the period is extremely limited and those other events are beyond your scope of reasoning. That is obvious since all you ever bring up is Sumter.
The Troy landed gentry were Pro-Southern since they viewed the Southern landed "aristocracy" as their kin. Just as the South had their battles against the Industrial North the Tories were fighting the middle/commercial classes represented by the Liberal coalition.
One of the reasons the British did not try to break the Union blockade was because the British wanted to have the option of using blockade if they were involved in a war.
not so hard when ya consider that "we the people" bs was only the signers to the preamble to our present constitution...many of the delegates to the con-con wouldn't hold still for what was going on in old phils and went home...we the people were the remainder of the delgates/signers.
see edrivera.com a disbarred lawyer and constitutional scholar teaching "wee the folks" online now...
then several..no, many more libertarian (small l)writers...but most pc folks won't listen to them...everyone has their own level of pc, of course...
Just Plain Dick
You make some great points, but as in all things historical, there are many complications. The tax (mostly via tariffs) problem was of course rooted in the constitutional compromise that allowed slavery and counted slaves at 3/5 their numbers for apportionment of both taxes and representation. Without this SC would not have enterred the union in the first place, and the South would not have enjoyed a near lock on the early Presidencies. Not hard to understand SC's dissatisfaction when northerners began to press for abolition almost immediately after ratification, and the tariff rates continued to rise, protecting northern industrialists at southern expense, bleeding the south of hard money (leaving its capital bound up in land and slaves, discouraging industrial investment, and inceasing dependency on Northern finance).
Britain did have a major vested interest and role in the expansion of slavery in the US, through creating a market for cotton, the milling of which was a prime element driving Britain's industrial revolution. SC's dedication to expanding slavery into the West was driven to a great extent by slaveholders' desire to relocate or sell their large surplus of slaves into areas with soils not yet exhausted by tobacco and cotton. Such export became profitable because of British demand for cotton. British interest in the Southern cause diminished due to an economic downturn, a large backstock of cotton, and alternative sourcing, right at the time the Confederacy was seeking support.
With a strong basis in the sovereignty of states, the South discovered that a Confederacy, i.e., confederated sovereign states, are at their least efficient in fighting a national war. The strong Federal Union was ironically made stronger by the Confederate defection, starting a trend away from states' rights and toward an ever more powerful central government.
When the main stated reason for the War quickly switched from "Preserving the Union," to "Freeing the Slaves," the issue of states' rights got lost along the way. Unanswered: Does a sovereign state have the right to leave the Union?
The north went to war to defend the union and ended up saving the slaves. The south went to war to save slavery and ended up losing everything.
Your logic does not hold.
The north went to war to secure a tier of states it could continue to treat as a second-class source of raw materials for its own mill industry. Threats to end slavery were threats of economic sanctions. Tariffs were designed to force trade with the North and hamper industrialization in the South to preserve the status quo. The cause was economic in nature.
False altruism might make for nice fairy tales, but it was all about the money.
Slavery was the primary reason for the slave power to pretend to secession.
Union was the primary reason for the US to oppose secession.
At the end of the war, slavery was dead. The slave power lost. Anyone sad about that?
Sumter was a US fort, had been fortified by the US, and was built using southern labor with stone from NY and MA on a shoal. It was never part of SC land.
Pretending that 'they was gonna hit me first' didn't work in 4th grade, and it doesn't work now.
The insurrection wanted a war to get Virginia, the largest slave state, to join the insurrection. That part of the southern insurrection strategy worked.
The 'winning the war that they started' part: not so much.
But the ramifications of that loss extended far beyond the end of slavery and we will see those issues again. Our Federal Government was supposed to be a Federal Government (very limited in power) while the State Governments were supposed to have more power. Instead, we now have a National Government, and the States have been stripped of much of their power. That is regrettable, as the National Government imposes one-size-fits-all standards where one size doesn't fit, while the states have become rubber stamps for the National Government.
Slavery depended on new land, because slaves had to be kept ignorant to remain slaves. Old farms became unprofitable except as a place to breed slaves. Example: Arlington Va.
Closing the territories to slavery would have killed slavery, by reducing demand for slaves, dropping the price.
The south started the war, and attempted to invade the territories, to the extent they could. They had tried to start the war in Kansas, in an attempt to corruptly install a slave constitution. They were stopped. They started the war at Ft. Sumter to induce Virginia to join their insurrection.
Then lets work together to reduce federal power to the limits appropriate to it.
Perhaps begin by shutting down the departments of Education, Labor, and Agriculture, all fields well known to the founders, and all fields where congress has no enumerated powers.
Actually the logic is self-evident.
Lincoln said that although he would resist the expansion of slavery into the territories he understood that (irrespective of his feelings regarding the institution) slavery was sanctioned by the constitution. His stated intention was to maintain the union as it was.
The notion that anyone sought to "secure a tier of states" is utter nonsense. The idea that the souths' failure to industrialize was founded in anything other than sloth is ludicrous. "The cause was economic in nature." Yes - the economics of slave labor.
Excise was minimal.
The South's failure to diversify was its own fault.
But they weren't. They were simply manning their post.
Not to mention that wasnt the only thing going on at the time. I know your knowledge of the period is extremely limited and those other events are beyond your scope of reasoning.
Well then by all means please educate this poor, unworthy Yankee and tell me what else was going on?
As I admitted, I meant to say tariffs, not excise taxes as someone also noted.
As far as being "anachronistic", I stand by my assertion, the war was over money much more than slavery. In fact, there would probably have been no shooting had the union simply let the states go or sought redress through the courts rather than pushing them into a shooting war by enforcing the tariff collections. It was only after 7 states seceeded that Lincoln called up an army (illegally) without congressional support which forced 4 more states to leave too.
Winners write the history books.
That concept died long before Lincoln. Virtually every president from Washington to Jefferson and Jackson on through Polk consolidated power. Washington sent troops into Pennsylvania to suppress rebellion. Jefferson doubled the size of the country. Jackson told South Carolina, "If one drop of blood is shed in opposition to the law, I will hang the first man I can lay my hands on from the first tree I can find." Polk started a war with Texas and almost started one with the UK. Lincoln didn't expand the power and scope of the federal government any more than many of his predecessors had.
That is regrettable, as the National Government imposes one-size-fits-all standards where one size doesn't fit, while the states have become rubber stamps for the National Government.
The blame for that lies more with the Roosevelts, Wilson, LBJ, and his successors than with Abraham Lincoln.
Losers write excuses explaining why they started their war and why they subsequently lost it.
If it were not for the southern colonies during the Revolution, there would have been no United States.
It was a shooting war because Confederates shot at a federal fort and then followed up by invading Kentucky.
I did not say there was violence about the collection of tariffs, just that the union fortified all important port entries like to Charleston which was a major financial provider.
No argument, the south fired first, in april, after providing orders to leave. In actually, the first shots were fired in January at a supply ship trying to supply the fort.

In 2011, President Obama signed Executive Order 13595, which created the National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security and tasked U.S. government agencies to expand focus on the protection of women and girls in war torn areas and incorporate women into post-conflict relief and recovery efforts. One way the Department of State is working to implement the Action Plan is through the Global Peacekeeping Operations Initiative. This initiative, known as GPOI, is working to expand training of female peacekeepers, including a focus on protecting vulnerable communities, including women and girls, struggling to recover and rebuild from war's devastation as well as those exposed to ongoing conflict.
Created in 2005, GPOI is a security-assistance program that enhances international capability to effectively conduct United Nations and regional peace operations. This is accomplished through three primary means. First, by training military and police units from among its 64 partner nations and two partner regional organizations to serve in peacekeeping missions. Second, by supplying peacekeeping forces with essential non-lethal equipment. And thirdly, by constructing or refurbishing peacekeeping training facilities.
Working in partnership with the Department of Defense, GPOI has directly trained 174,421 peacekeepers to date and enabled the training of an additional 49,192 peacekeeping personnel through the work of its program graduates. GPOI is currently working to build on this progress in "training-the-trainers," creating sustainable capabilities in partner nations that can self-sufficiently train their peacekeepers to meet the growing global demand for well-trained peacekeeping personnel.
GPOI and the National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security have proven to be a natural fit, particularly in working to address sexual and gender-based violence, which remains a tragic scourge of war zones.
One of the National Action Plan's five pillars is "participation," which seeks to mitigate the occurrence of abuses and boost the protection of civilians through increasing the number of women involved in peacekeeping efforts. So far, GPOI has facilitated the training of nearly 3,500 female peacekeepers around the world. Having female peacekeepers on the ground helps achieve goals more difficult to reach with all-male peacekeeping units. For example, women in conflict and post-conflict zone are more likely to approach female peacekeepers and alert them to the occurrence of crimes against civilians, especially in cultures where women are not permitted to talk to men. By making it easier to report these intolerable acts, peacekeepers can better prevent and remediate incidents of abuse.
Another of the National Action Plan's five pillars is "protection," which goes to the heart of GPOI's mission. GPOI approaches this in multiple ways.
First, through GPOI training events conducted throughout the world that incorporate protection of civilians training for peacekeeping personnel. This includes GPOI's partnership with the Government of Italy's Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units (COESPU) to fund training for police units on sexual and gender-based violence issues, including proper investigation techniques.
Second, by supporting United Nations efforts to standardize training for peacekeeping units on both the importance of protecting vulnerable populations and preventing sexual and gender-based violence. By helping make sure that everyone serving in a UN mandated mission has received training based on the same standardized training materials, peacekeepers from all over the world can more effectively work together to mitigate the occurrence of abuses.
Third, GPOI is assisting in building capacity among its partner countries and regional organizations to self-sufficiently train their peacekeepers on protection of civilians issues through the employment of train-the-trainer methodologies and the provision of training materiel and facilities refurbishments.
GPOI's contributions to the implementation of the National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security represents one of the important ways the Department of State seeks to empower women. By incorporating the National Action Plan into security processes in conflict-affected environments, the GPOI program is confronting the scourge sexual and gender based violence.
I am looking for a teaching training opportunity. I spent 5 years in Iraq from 2004 to 2009. I've been in many countries in the Middle Eastern. I'm an English and Spanish teacher and I now speak, read and write Arabic. I also have extensive experience in Security and management. I have spent the past 4 years on the family cow ranch in New Mexico. I am turning the cattle operation over to 2 of my sons and I want to go back to the Middle East in some capacity. Thanks, David Westbrook firstname.lastname@example.com

Get Busy Living
Every trail runner's life list begins here

What do trail runners share in common with Morgan Freeman? More than you think. For starters, we're all going to die one day.
OK, maybe that's harsh. But as all things must come to an end, so too will our days running free on gladed singletrack. In fact, many physicians subscribe to the idea that your legs, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments have a finite quantity of miles in them. Some of us (see David Horton or Diane Van Deren below) are just blessed to have more genetic miles than others.
Trail running lacks the urgency that faster road races inherently possess. In fact, many trail lovers eschew tracking miles in favor of logging only time run and maybe elevation gain.
But, whether your feet strike asphalt or soil, time is a terrible thing to waste, and Trail Runner surveyed many devotees of the sport, asking the question, "What are the must-do experiences for every trail runner?" Here is the list, in it's dirty, idyllic glory.
As Morgan Freeman advises in Shawshank Redemption, "Get busy living or get busy dying."
#1 Run the Grand Canyon
Trail running summons images of cushy paths meandering among towering pines and across windswept alpine ridges. So it's perhaps ironic that nearly every off-road runner expresses passion for running across a gigantic hole in the ground. Yet crossing the Grand Canyon is a rite of passage for trail runners.
Beginning on the South Rim, runners hit the Bright Angel trailhead well before sun-up to avoid the crowds. For six miles, the switchback route nosedives toward the canyon bottom, more than 4000 vertical feet below. What follows is a rolling, curling tour through rock formations and camera-summoning vistas. At roughly mile 8.5, a silver suspension bridge ushers runners over the Colorado River, in many ways the Canyon's mother, and eventually up the North Kaibab Trail for an eternal ascent to the North Rim, grinding up 5000 vertical feet to the turnaround point. All said, the Canyon is roughly 23 miles Rim-to-Rim (often called "R2R").
Many runners pause only briefly before heading back, making for a tough, 46-mile R2R2R day. If you're not an ultrarunner, don't sweat it. There's the Grand Canyon Lodge at Bright Angel Point on the North Rim and it's relatively easy for a friend to pick you up. Just do your research: summertime R2Rs can be hotter than Hades and the North Rim gets socked with snow in the winter. Also, it's advisable to reserve rooms at the lodge several months in advance.
Dave Mackey of Boulder, Colorado, has R2R2R-ed twice, once in a record time (6:59:57) that still stands. The other time, he covered it with friends and admits he enjoyed the views and whole experience much more. "The Grand Canyon is the most beautiful run I have ever done," he says. "Nothing anywhere matches its grandeur and sweeping vistas."

NAVAIR Upgrades E-6B Internet Protocol
The U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) recently implemented the Internet Protocol Bandwidth Expansion (IBPE) upgrade on its airborne strategic command platform, the E-6B Mercury. The upgrade was installed in March during a service life extension program (SLEP) on aircraft 410, part of Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) 4 at Tinker AIr Force Base, Okla.

The upgrade is an expanded secure local area computer network consisting of two live feeds for the E-6B, an ultra-high frequency line of sight digital data feed used while operating over the United States and a commercial Inmarsat satellite feed for use when operating outside the U.S. IBPE replaces about 5,000 pounds of backup equipment with racks of IPBE servers and routers, similar to those that run military computer networks.
"The biggest benefit IPBE brings to the fleet is providing faster, more reliable internet access to information, both classified and unclassified, to the battle staff onboard the aircraft," said Capt. Dana Dewey, E-6 Airborne Strategic Command, Control and Communications Program Office's (PMA-271) program manager. "Now, the general officers and the battle staff have almost the same level of operational capability as if they were working in their regular offices."
NAVAIR has outfitted four E-6Bs with the upgrade, one test aircraft and three VQ-4 fleet aircraft. Twelve additional E-6Bs are scheduled to receive the upgrade, with the latest installation occurring in 2019.

The Firefox Flicks Winners Are In, Making the Web at Campus Party and more…
about:mozilla is a round-up of news and contribution opportunities. Here's what's happening this week.
Mozilla Is My Dinosaur
Sean Martell is the Lead Visual Designer for Mozilla and apparently also a great poet. Chances are that if you see a logo on a Mozilla website, it was probably him who has drawn the lines and added the colors. His latest works include the updated logos for Nightly and Aurora (apart from the dozens of other awesome-looking logos).
But the newest work by him is the poem "Mozilla Is My Dinosaur" written for his kids. To top it off and make it the cutest thing you'll see today, it's accompanied by a drawing.
Make sure to read his poem or check out his blog.
Share Your Favorite Website with Firefox for Android
Firefox for Android is definitely the best browser for your phone and now it just got even better: The new quickshare feature allows you to share favorite websites with a single tap with Facebook, Twitter or via email. To make it even simpler, you can just bump your phone against your friend's phone to share open tabs, a recipe or an article. To make it even easier to read those things on a small screen, we also added new updates to Reader: You can now change the font on your preference and depending on the level of light in the room, Firefox for Android will switch between the light and the dark mode. So what are you waiting for?
Go ahead and download it now or find out more about the update.
Firefox OS Devices Are Back on Ebay
Firefox OS is our brand new and open operating system for mobile phones which will forever change the way you interact with the Web on the go. It literally changes and transforms with you to meet your needs – no matter if you want to look for a movie, watch it or even buy cinema tickets, with Firefox OS everything is just a few taps away.
Roughly a month after the initial launch, ZTE made the ZTE Open phone available for you to get on eBay for just $79. Within just two days, it was completely sold out, but now the ZTE Open is back again and waiting just for you.
Go through the official announcement or get your hands on a device.
The Firefox Flicks Winners Are In
A few months ago, we announced the 2013 Firefox Flicks Competition and put you to a challenge: Create a video which shows people how the power of the Web can change people's lives. Now, after having received over 400 entries, our celebrity judges have picked the best flicks. The grand prize winning motion picture "Spot the Difference" shows in a humorous way how to discover, enjoy and share content on the go. To celebrate all the six winning films, we held a premiere party at the Toronto International Film Festival – now it's your turn to congratulate them!
Check out the winning flicks or get to know more about the competition.
Making the Web @ Campus Party
Two weeks ago, the O2 in London was filled with hackers, developers, gamers and technophiles and most importantly, Mozillians like you. While our Firefox Student Ambassadors handed out t-shirts and showed how to get involved with Mozilla, you also had the opportunity to make the Web while drinking smoothies: One of the main focuses was on teaching the web using the Webmaker tools during our fun contests. Whether you were challenged to pit pacman against space invaders or even pirates versus ninjas, the results are truly creative.
Check out the best creations and take a look at some photos from the event.

The state of the environment can have significant impacts on sport. Sportsmen and women can be affected by environmental conditions such as air and water quality and exposure to harmful substances. Changes in climate and the loss of natural spaces may make participating in sport more difficult. The impact of the environment and especially of climate change becomes most obvious when looking at winter sports. If global warming affects the mountain snow cover, skiing or snowboarding and other winter sports will no longer be possible.
The following are some of the most common ways in which environmental problems can affect sports.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Atrocious weather made the organisation even more impressive, marshals being that cheerful throughout must have been on something!In full: The weather had to be seen to be believed, however this seemed to have no effect on the organisation. From arrival to leaving afterwards, the impression given to me as a runner was that everything went extremely smoothly, as someone with long term experience of marshalling I know it doesn't work like that. A very well deserved Gold rated event!Date of review: November 7, 2012
In short: Club member allowed to run!In full: After marshalling this run for many years I was allowed to run because of the number of club members available.Although I am obviously biased I was proud to be a member of a club who had such a huge marshall turn out in horrendous weather and unfailingly support every runner. Even our couple who married the day before turned up!!Date of review: March 20, 2008

We're working on a Monday editorial taking up the idea that the City of Sacramento should aggressively go after money owed to the public to help fill a $50 million budget gap. Council members Kevin McCarty and Rob Fong have identified at least one prime target, worth millions of dollars.
In a rush land deal in December 2006, the city gave Thomas Enterprises $55 million to help the developer close on its $70 million purchase of 240 acres in the downtown railyard.
The city's $55 million was called an "advance payment" on city purchase of 32.8 acres, which included the historic I Street train depot.
With no appraisal, the city paid roughly $1.7 million per acre for the 32.8 acres (while on the same day, Thomas Enterprises paid roughly $292,000 an acre for 240 acres in the railyard).
However, the purchase and sale agreement did lay out a three-month negotiation/mediation/arbitration process to determine the fair market value of the 32.8 acres and to have Thomas Enterprises pay up if the city's $55 million advance payment was more than the final purchase price.
Yet two years have passed and the city still has no final purchase price or settle up.
What do you think the mayor and city council should do?

Topic: question about observe_field
I have set up a fairly simple requirement search on my database using observe_field with Ajax. Everything seems to be working fine, except for one problem. When I type in a few characters, it automatically searches and refreshes the page with the correct information. The problem is that if I type in several characters and then press enter, I get no results returned. Is there a way to handle this such that the results of the query will be returned after pressing enter or is that not possible?
I've included the code if it helps.
<%= form_tag nil, { :id => 'search_form' } %>
Search by Requirement:
<%= text_field_tag 'search' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

Search Results:

<%= observe_form :search_form,
:frequency => 0.5,
:update => 'results',
:url => { :action => 'search_by_req' } %>
def search_by_req
@results = Req.find( :all, :conditions => [ "Requirement LIKE ?", "%#{params[:search]}%" ] )

Professor Kenneth Quinn is officially Dr. Kenneth Quinn. The gifted MC art professor received an honorary doctorate at Mississippi College's graduation ceremony on December 16.
"Kenneth Quinn has been an ambassador for MC and the art department for many years," said MC Art Department Chairman Randy Miley. "He deserves this honor based on the amount of work he's done. He's completed the equivalent of a doctoral degree and we're so happy to be able to officially refer to him as 'Dr. Quinn.'"
Quinn received his bachelor's degree in art from MC in 1961 and earned a master of education in art from Illinois State University in 1964. An art teacher at Whitten Junior High in Jackson for 30 years, the gifted artist taught at MC for 15 years. In 2006, Dr. Quinn received the Mississippi College Order of the Golden Arrow Award, which honors alumni or friends of the college who have made outstanding achievements in their professions, businesses, or careers.
In January 2010, the Gore Galleries hosted a month-long exhibit showcasing 40 of Quinn's watercolors, many of which featured MC landmarks. Quinn described his beautiful paintingsof Nelson Hall, the bell tower, and other campus buildings as a "thank-you note to the MC faculty and staff."

Business Aviation Caterers 2011
For the most dedicated business aviation caterers, there is no greater compliment than the smile that follows a bite of praline pecan French toast or maple duck breast with wild rice and blackberry juice. And among those who fly privately, there exists no shortage of folks who appreciate a fine meal, perfectly prepared and served.
The hundreds of kitchens that specialize in catering for private and corporate aviation produce many such meals. Here's a list of those caterers. So kick back, find the ones that cover your turf and get ready to enjoy. There's something for everyone.
Viewing this report requires Adobe Reader be installed on your device. If it's not currently installed, click here to download.
"Business Aviation Caterers–Bon Appetit at 41,000 Feet" [Buyers' Guide 2011] offers a wonderful reference list of caterers. What it does not specify is which caterers prepared the food in your photographs. I would like to know their names. Why? Because in the nine years I have been a business aviation flight attendant, I have encountered only three caterers who have provided me with a fighting chance of presenting food to my passengers in the beautiful manner portrayed in your photographs: Deluxe Catering in London; and Tastefully Yours in Atlanta; and one in Lugano, Switzerland, whose name I don't recall. If there is a fourth caterer [that's as good], I would love the chance to use them. Your article suggests a perfect galley where nothing is overcooked and fresh basil sways in the slight breeze of recycled air. The truth is, often times to reach this nirvana the flight attendant has to go to hell and back. The catering is delivered to the wrong airport. Or the chicken breast is an overcooked hockey puck. Or the caterer's packaging was so bad, the petit fours now have a lobster bisque glaze. Or the catering arrived an hour late. Or the lunch looks like muck because the only "FBO-certified" caterer (i.e. the one providing kickbacks) makes muck for food. I appreciate the caterers who make flight attendants look like culinary queens but they are few and far between.

Agree with the toilet situation for women. Lovely goody bag, cholcolate needed at the right time. Date of review: June 22, 2008

Probably like chicken.
Cranky,You are probably right. I forget at this time, how they tasted.Norma
I wouldn't put chicken on pizza either. No bugs or birds. Pig is good, but it has to be civilized pig, like pepperoni and Italian sausage. No hog maw.
Pig cheeks (guanciale) have gained some popularity as a pizza topping.....although I'm curious how chocolate lab or rottweiler would work as well
Cranky,This is what Hog Maw looks like. A nice crispy skin and delicious ingredients inside. http:[email protected] Now dont you think those insides of the Hog Maw would go great on a topping for pizza? People use sausage, hamburg, onions, bacon and celery on pizzas, so why not Hog Maw. The crispy pig stomach skin tastes like bacon. Dont you even like any kind of chicken on a pizza? I really like Buffalo Chicken Pizza. That is one of my favorites. I have made Buffalo Chicken pizza with Franks Hot Sauce many times. Maybe I can persuade you to try different dressings on a pizza. Norma
Dear Norma,Most people when they get old get set in their ways. There is a right way to do everything and a wrong way, even though there often isn't. Remember that I said I grew up in NYC in the 50s and started making pizza, because I could not buy a good pizza where I moved. So driven by nostalgia I am searching to recreate my youth. We won't discuss anything here about my youth other than the pizza I longed for. Bacon, celery, onion and hamburger have no place on my pizza, neither does Canadian bacon, pineapple, bbq chicken, bbq sauce, bell pepper, or kale. Why not put rutabagas and cabbage, peas and carrots on top? Good grief! My wife and I went on vacation a few years ago to an island in the Caribbean. Everyone said we had to try the conch pizza. We did, and controlling my gag reflex in the restaurant was challenging. That was and will be a last. Never again. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you have found perfection there is no point in changing anything. Perfection is always simple. All you really need is great crust, tomatoes and cheese, a little olive oil, oregano and basil. If those things go together right it is done. Toppings are an attempt to make up for messing up the basics. By the way, my favorite ice cream is vanilla. Regarding the right and wrong of it, nostalgia rules for old guys.
Cranky, my friend,I am older too, but I would try almost anything on a pizza. I like to be adventurous. I am not set in my ways.
It is a good thing, that driven by your nostalgia, you are searching for your youth. That is great in my opinion. I also vacationed in the Caribbean different times years ago, and I did like Conch, but didnt try it on a pizza. I still have a Conch shell I brought back from one of those visits.
I dont think there is any right or wrong toppings on a pizza. It is up to each individual what he or she likes.
I am glad you found perfection in creating your pizzas.
Did you ever get to try Les's sauce? That is a simple pizza sauce that does have good flavor.Norma[
Cranky, I am still on the adventure trying to learn about different flavors in the crust. That is why I do experiments. I dont think I will ever be able to make my perfect crust, but I will keep trying. In my opinion the most important thing to me is the crust flavor. Others might disagree with me on my thoughts, but that is okay with me. Norma
Pizza and pizza crust are kind of like wine. There is no definition of the standard or ideal. When you open a Coke, or can of V8 juice you know exactly what to expect. It never varies.How could I know what is the best pizza if I haven't tried them all? So I never will. My guess is that the best pizza is made in someone's home, maybe someone on this forum and only a relatively few people have tried it. That person would not know their crust is the best, because they haven't tried all the others. I rarely go out for pizza, because it is usually a disappointment, even when I am back in my home turf. I surely don't make the best pizza in the country, but it is way better than average. We keep learning, but at some point what we make is good enough. Pizza is simple peasant food. I am willing to grow my own tomatoes, but not willing to pay a fortune to ship a sack of flour across the country, or spend too much for tomatoes from Italy. I might make fresh mozz, but will not buy bufalo from Italy. I can afford that stuff, but pizza is pizza for goodness sake.
When I tasted the pizzas at Kestes, they were the best pizzas I have ever tasted. Norma
Norma, was it the taste of the toppings, taste of the dough, or texture of the pizza that made it the best you had ever had? Thanks again for this post.
Cranky,I never will try all the pizzas either and am sure some of the forum members make better pizzas, than any that can be bought. There many great pizza makers on this forum. I have tasted pizza baked in my friends WFO and they do taste different than any of my pizzas.
I wonder if it is temperature or the radiant heat from the wood coals. Long ago my uncles told me that the best pizza they ever had in NYC was from coal fired ovens. By the time I came along there might have been a couple left. The guy who was left in Coney Island with a coal oven made what we now know as a Margherita, but then it was just another pizza. He dealt out slices of fresh mozz. There were also places that had giant balls of mozz in glass display refrigerators. They did not buy pregrated plastic packages. I don't know where that cheese came from. The balls had to have been 3 or 4 lbs each. They were considerably bigger than soft balls, maybe 2X, and not uniform in size. One of the best pizza makers I knew told me he used only "real" cheese, not the cheap stuff. He used those giant balls. I don't know what he meant by that, but I never saw those balls in the store. They must have been made by a small local maker.Natural leaven is a big deal, but I don't know if a home baker can manage it well. I for sure can't. My best pizza was made with a combination of aged and fresh cheese. Flour is the same year round. The flesh of garden tomatoes and home grown basil was the difference, because my winter and summer pizza are very different. A commercial pizzeria can't turn out high volume with these ingredients even if they were not seasonal. They have to rely on canned tomatoes of one sort or another. Prepping fresh tomatoes takes a long time. I also make my own sausage. It is better than store bought. It took years to figure it out. It also takes a long time and would be cost prohibitive for a pizzeria.
I want to taste Totonnos pies. Since you have lived in NY, I am sure you already know how long it takes on the train (subway) to get from Manhattan to Coney Island. It takes a long while in my opinion. New York City is really big, as you already know. I wonder if Totonnos is where your uncle ate some of his best pies.
Norma, agreed it takes a long time to take the subway out of Manattan to Coney. One reason itis good to visit a few places deep in Brooklyn, since you are on the train for over an hour anyway.The Q Train takes you from Manhattan to the Stillwater Ave (Coney Island) stop, which is a short walk from Totonno's Coney Island. That same train stops earlier at Avenue J, where DiFara is a literal stones throw from the elevated station.On the way out of the Stillwater Ave/Coney Island stop, you can catch a train which drops you off close to L&B Spumoni Gardens for some good Sicilian and a tasty Spumoni Ice to cap off the pizza eating.Totonno's is definitely worth a visit. No fancy bells and whistles, just really good, no nonsense coal oven pizza day in and day out. --K
This was posted on Slice today about Jim Lahey making the kind of pizza my daughter and I tried at Sullivan Street Bakery. I had really like this Pizza Pomodoro when I tasted it at Sullivan Street Bakery.This video shows how Pizza Pomodoro is made.http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/12/-ready-video-jim-lahey-making-pizza-pomodoro.htmlNow to figure out what formula to use for Pizza Pomodoro.Norma
Hi Norma,I'm pretty sure that the formula is in the book. If I get a chance I'm going to run into Chapter's & pick up a copy. Because of course, you can never have to many bread books, right Matt
Matt or anyone else that might be interested. I think this is the same video on the bottom of the first link, that slice posted. I dont know if you or anyone else think this is a good starting point or not for a Pizza Pomodoro.http://www.chewswise.com/chews/2010/01/really-easy-pizza-jim-lahey.htmlThese are also other links for a Pizza Pomodorohttp://www.lottieanddoof.com/2010/01/pizza-pulp-fiction-jim-lahey/http://tfl.thefreshloaf.com/node/15877/jim-lahey039s-pizza-patate-quotmy-breadquothttp://rcakewalk.blogspot.com/2010/02/pizza-via-jim-lahey-where-have-you-been.htmlNorma
Matt,I might try to make Pizza Pomodoro over the weekend if you think one of these recipes are good. I did taste the real Pizza Pomodoro at Sullivan Street Bakery, so I know how they should taste. Right now I dont have a steel pan, but have a deep-dish pan I could try to use. I did purchase a 17x1" steel deep-dish pan on Ebay last week to try Greek Pizza, but it hasnt arrived as of today. The shape of the pan shouldnt matter. I just would like to be able to create this kind of pie. I also do have some heavy sheet pans, that I used before for Sicilian pies. They did work okay. The one recipe in the one article is posted in grams. Do you know how to convert the recipe to bakers percents so it is more accurate. Good to hear you purchased the book and you are enjoying reading it. I have always been interested in no knead dough, but never tried any. Do you have any idea when you might try the Pizza Pomodoro? If you try the recipe from your book, what kind of leavening system are you going to try?Norma
