Founded in 1869, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is one of the most reputable banking and securities firms, which employs around 36.000 employees and total assets of $911.3 billion as of 2010. The company engages in investment management, investment banking, securities and other financial services with institutional clients. Goldman Sachs' analysts have recently updated their ratings on some stocks, explaining their opinion about them. I have analyzed these stocks, taking their fundamentals and field performances into account. Here are my opinions on Goldman's five stock ratings.
(Data obtained from Finviz/Morningstar, and current as of January 13. You can download the O-Metrix calculator here.)
3M Co. (MMM)
Terry Darling of Goldman has downgraded the maker of Post-It Notes to "Sell" from "Neutral" "due to inflation in emerging markets, the structural change in Europe and government debt refinancing." The company is selling 14 times earnings and 13 times forward earnings. Estimated annual EPS growth for the next five years is 12.3%. It sports a 2.63% dividend, and the profit margin is 14.6%, higher than the industry average of 8.8%.
As of the time of writing, 3M is trading at $83.6 with a 52-week range of $68 - $97. 3M intends to buy Avery Dennison Corp.'s (NYSE:AVY), which will strengthen 3M's presence in the office supply sector. Dividends are tidy, as well as cash flow and assets. 3M suffered from massive sell-offs in the Q3 of 2011, but the company is showing a healthy recovery since then. 3M is a brilliant pick for your long-term portfolio. The company has an O-Metrix score of 5.42.
Emerson Electric (EMR)
Emerson has been downgraded from "buy" to "neutral" due to "lack of near-term catalysts," as well as the global uncertainty. Emerson shows a trailing P/E ratio of 15.2, and a lower forward P/E ratio of 12.0. Analysts estimate a 12.1% annualized EPS growth for the next five years. With a profit margin of 10.2%, it offers a 3.25% dividend.
As Cramer states, Emerson has a strong HVAC business, and it is one of the key players in power management for data centers. Price-to-earnings ratio has come to very good levels in a short time.
Quarterly dividend per share has been increased from $0.35 to $0.40 in November 2011, which is a solid catalyst for me. Debt-to equity ratio (0.4) is also convincing, below the industry average of 0.7. Assets, revenue, and cash flow are very healthy. In January 4, Emerson had a Relative Strength Index of 38.27%, which is 53.48% as of the time of writing. If you agreed with me and bought the stock at that time, then you could have made about a 4.5% profit in just eight business days. The panic sell-offs have come to an end, and there is still chance to jump in. Emerson has a C Grade O-Metrix score of 5.64.
Rockwell Automation (ROK)
Goldman analysts have upgraded Rockwell from "neutral" to "buy". The automation company is trading at a P/E ratio of 16.6, and a forward P/E ratio of 13.6. Analysts expect the company to have an 11.4% annual EPS growth in the next five years. Profit margin is 11.6%, and dividend yield is 2.14%.
As a stock, Rockwell is doing acceptably well. Earnings-per share [ttm] and P/E ratio have been doing well for some time. Cash flow and revenue are quite appetizing, along with dividends. Rockwell is performing well for a while, returning more than 50% since September 2011. I believe Rockwell can offer average profits with moderate growth. Robert W. Baird is also bullish on this name, raising his target price to $89 from $91 a share. I guess it might be rewarding to hold onto Rockwell in the long term. Based on these indicators, Rockwell has an O-Metrix score of 4.48.
Eaton (ETN)
Eaton is a "classic laggard to leader," as Terry Darling describes. The stock is in Goldman's Conviction Buy List. The power management company has a P/E ratio of 13.3, and a lower forward P/E ratio of 10.8. Analysts estimate a 12.2% annualized EPS growth for the next five years. It offers a dividend of 2.77%, and profit margin is 8.1%, slightly below the industry average of 8.8%.
Eaton has a friendly management team, solid fundamentals, and adorable field performance. Dividends, revenue, and cash flow are quite healthy. Since September 2009, earnings-per share [ttm] has come from -0.67 to 3.70. Such a company with strong fundamentals and field performance has almost zero chance of failing, especially if it's paying dividends at this level. Just keep in mind that Relative Strength Index (64.17%) is close to the overbought territory, so you may want to see a pullback before buying. Eaton has a B Grade O-Metrix score of 6.21.
General Electric (GE)
Goldman counts General Electric as its "favorite super-cap for a combination offense and defense." The Connecticut-based company is trading at a P/E ratio of 14.2, and a forward P/E ratio of 12.1. Estimated annualized EPS growth for the next five years is 12.6%. It sports an attractive dividend of 3.59%, while the profit margin is 9.2%, higher than the industry average of 8.8%.
General Electric has been selected as the most popular congressional investment for the sixth time in a row. General Electric will do just fine this year as the company is playing right in the emerging markets, and aircraft engines are trendy. Even since the beginning of the year, the stock has returned about 5% already. Given its performance and growth, we may see another boost in General Electric's dividend this year. I suggested buying this stock in one of my articles three months ago, and the company returned about 15% since then. If you want strong income with a juicy dividend in 2012, then General Electric is your stock. General Electric is next to the overbought territory with a Relative Strength Index of 65.80%, like Eaton. The company has an O-Metrix score of 6.15.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

"Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recovered at will."
There are times when having a fully developed brain can almost seem like an impediment. Are babies more aware of the world around them than adults are? Can "thinking like a baby" lead us to be more in tune with our creativity and our ability to learn? Scientists have taken a new look inside the baby mind, which is "unfocused, random, and extremely good at what it does."

Talk:Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

Improving the article[edit]
I've made a variety of changes to improve the article. One thing I'm not quite sure how to do is to change the title. The standard translation is "Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda" rather than "Popular Enlightenment," although both are used. "Public Enlightenment is used, for example, in the Goebbels entry. I'm not sure how one changes an article's title. Could some someone more knowledgeable than I change that? Bytwerk (talk) 22:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- I shall do it now. Gavin Scott (talk) 00:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't think that "Enlightenment" is the correct translation for "Aufklärung" in this case, it should be "Education". And "public" sounds a bit too neutral for "Volk" but I am not a native English speaker so maybe that's OK. In my opinion "Popular Education" or "National Education" seem to be the best translations. It is true that "popular education" is not exactly a Nazi concept but the Nazis had co-opted ideas from other political wings and considered themselves progressive, so it still makes sense. --126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- You are right that the translation is not perfect — but it is the one used by most of the standard English-language books on Nazi propaganda (e.g., Bramsted, Welsh, Herf, and many more). In English, "education" tends to suggest schooling of some sort, which isn't what the Nazis had in mind, exactly. Bytwerk (talk) 04:20, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Nazi poster Nederlanders.jpg[edit]
The image Image:Nazi poster Nederlanders.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
- That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Censorship and different POVs[edit]
Were there any non-Nazi media in Nazi Germany? Was there censorship (of domestic and foreign correspondents)? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 13:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Referencing and sources[edit]
As much as most of the content on the article seems reasonable enough, I desperately miss references to specific claims such as "The Ministry grew steadily. It began in 1933 with five departments and 350 employees. By 1939, there were 2000 employees in 17 departments. Between 1933 and 1941, the Ministry's budget grew from 14 million to 187 million Reichsmarks." This is a terrible miss in the article right now. — Lasse Havelund (p · t · c) 18:42, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Radio manufacturers received grants from the government to build cheaper receivers; these sets were manufactured so that they could not pick up foreign, non-Nazi broadcasts
This is not exactly true. It would be more accurate to say that they could not easily pick up such broadcasts. Either way shouldnt there be a link to the article on the recievers in question ? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:17, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Original German[edit]
While debating over the fidelity of your translation of the German title, you should at least include that untranslated title in the article itself. That's standard practice, after all. Even here in the Talk section you failed to supply the original name. Orthotox (talk) 21:25, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

A special gathering in celebration of music and dance traditions.
Presented by Traditional-Live! (Northeast Oregon Folklore Society)
SpringAlive Overview
Saturday, May 21st, 2016, the third Saturday in May, Traditional-Live! (NE Oregon Folklore Society) will present a special traditional music and dance event, SpringAlive, that we hope you will come and share with us.
Featured guests: Once again Massachusetts fiddler, caller, composer, etc., David Kaynor and Portland musicians Sue Songer and Lanny Martin, will be returning as our guests. In addition, we welcome Monica and Ken Pollard of Nampa, ID, who will be teaching Scottish Country dancing.
What's happening: This year, we are expanding our day of celebration to a full day of music and dance workshops and an evening potluck and dance. With simultaneous music and dance workshops throughout the day, attendees will have choices to make. Workshop sessions include previous year's favorites, Sue's popular Dance Ensemble workshop and David's Contra Dance workshop. New this year are another music workshop (Waltz Tunes) led by David, an open jam session for musicians, and a Scottish Country Dance workshop led by Monica and Ken. We also will have an English Country Dance workshop led by local La Grande callers Larry B. Smith and Mark Lewis. The evening events begin with a community potluck feast, followed by our gala dance on into the night. In addition, there are opportunities for individual musicians and small ensembles to get some individualized instruction from our guests. If you happen to be in town before the weekend, you can also catch our guests leading a family dance on Thursday evening at Central Elementary School, or at a dance in Pendleton (a one hour drive away) on Friday night. Check out our online schedule to get an overview of the day's events.
Help support SpringAlive by participating in our fancy dessert auction fundraiser that will help us to keep putting on this event at a reasonable price for all.
Out-of-town visitors: At past events, our community has established a reputation for friendly hospitality. As before, we'll do our best to match out-of-town guests with local hosts for home stays. Commercial lodgings and campgrounds are available for those that prefer that option. And we will be repeating last year's potluck feast before the Saturday night dance. Welcome to our town.
Registration: So that we can plan effectively, we encourage particpants to register in advance for SpringAlive events, and we offer a discount as incentive for those that do. However, pre-registration isn't required, so you can just show up, pay the admission fee, and we'll be happy to have you. If you're thinking of taking Sue Songer's dance ensemble workshop, you will want to prepare by getting familiar with the tunes used ahead of time. We don't have them just yet, but soon we hope to provide you with links to written music and audio files for this year's workshop tunes.
David Kaynor presents some waltzes and shows you how to add flow to your playing. Fiddle players will get the most from the workshop, but players of all instruments are encouraged to attend.

Sue Songer leads her students through the process of creating an arrangement of music that energizes the dancers and dancing. Expect to gain experience with selecting tunes, building a medley, crafting an arrangement that highlights distinctive features of a particular dance, and the use of musical "tricks" that brings the dancing to life.
Prerequisites: At least novice level skill with your instrument, including being able to learn a tune from written music or by ear. Both written and recorded materials will be provided prior to the workshop, and participants will get much more out of the workshop if they are able to learn at least a few of the tunes ahead of time.
Downloadable files containing written music for this year's workshop tunes are available by clicking this link: Written Music (PDF format).

Scottish Country Dancing is the social dance of Scotland.  It uses many of the same figures as contra and English country dance, but also has its own distinctive steps, figures, and musical rhythms unique to Scotland. The class will be an introductory overview of Scottish Country Dance. Students will learn the quick-time dance steps, and three or four Scottish Country dances that include some of those Scottish figures. Monica and Ken Pollard lead.

was born into a prolifically musical family (relatives Cammy and Van Kaynor are also well-known musicians) and came of age during the folk music revival of the 1960's. An early fascination with the guitar and later exposure to a reviving New England Contra dance tradition, eventually morphed into a love of the fiddle and an abiding interest in traditional dance and it's evolving offshoots. David performs fiddling and calling throughout the country, especially in his native New England, the Northwest, and on regular tours to Sweden.
is a native of Portland, Oregon with a lifelong interest in music. In the mid-1980s Sue was introduced to Contra dancing, took to it, and within a few years, had taken up the fiddle and piano as well for accompanying dancing. Starting in the mid 1990's, Sue began a project of compiling favorite tunes played by Northwest dance musicians. The two "Portland Collection" volumes resulting (a third is expected to be released soon) have become standard resources for Contra dance musicians everywhere. Sue is also well known as the primary organizer and director of the Portland Megaband, an 80 member Contra dance band, very possibly the largest anywhere.
has played piano and accordion since the mid 1980's, and has been a part of many Northwest dance bands. He grew up in Baker City, and retains fond memories of NE Oregon, one of the reasons we are able to entice Lanny and spouse Sue out here from their home in Portland.
Monica has been Scottish country dancing since 1981, and has been teaching it for about 15 years. For the last ten years she has been the teacher for the Thistle & Ghillies Scottish Country Dancers in Boise, ID. She is a Royal Scottish Country Dance Society certified teacher and has taught Scottish dance workshops in Bend, OR, and at the Heather & Rose Country Dance camp at Suttle Lake. In addition to teaching, Monica plays piano with her husband's band, The Acrasians, at contra dances, or is the band's caller at weddings and other events. Ken is a violin maker who plays fiddle at contradances, and teaches Scottish country dance.
If you're coming to SpringAlive from out of town, we would like to welcome you to La Grande. We hope you enjoy your stay enough that you will return for future events we put on. The following information should help make your time more enjoyable.
La Grande is not a tourist mecca, so lodging options tend to be basic but also relatively inexpensive. SpringAlive offers the possibility of a homestay with a friendly local, or you can search online for commercial accommodations.
We will attempt to match visitors that desire homestays with local hosts that offer them whenever possible. If you desire a homestay, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can have the best chance of accommodating you. Contact Mark (phone: 541-962-9355, email: email@example.com), letting us know how many people, what nights, what number and kind (single, double) of beds, whether there are any allergies or sensitivities hosts should know about, or whether you would like an RV parking space instead. Please keep in mind that although we have a pretty good track record at finding hosts for all those that desire them, we can't guarantee to place everybody.
If you would like to stay in commercial accommodations, you can search the following online resources for a range of choices, from the Royal Motor Inn, a budget, few-frills place just a few blocks from our venues, to the historic (and posh) Hot Lake Springs B&B, a 15 minute drive south of town, as well as a (very) few informal B&B options.

We hope you'll join us at our community potluck Saturday evening before the dance. Out-of-towners can easily contribute by bringing beverages or prepared foods from a local grocery store, deli or restaurant.
For other meals, a list of local restaurants (with ratings) can be found by searching Yelp.com for La Grande. Besides a smattering of national chain fast-food places, mostly out near the freeway interchange, there are several locally owned/operated restaurants that may be of some interest.
Ten Depot Street (dinner only, bar), at the higher end of the price scale, has a nice selection of vegetarian fare to go along with well prepared steaks and seafood.
Mamacita's International Grill (lunch and dinner), features a variety of international specialties, and non-gluten options as well.
GC Asian Fusion (lunch and dinner), casts a wide Asian net with Chinese, Japanese and Thai menus; including sushi.
Earth and Vine (lunch and dinner, wine), is La Grande's one and only wine bar, serving light fare, sandwiches, wraps, salads and pizza.
JaxDog Cafe (brunch, lunch), in a cozy alcove overlooking a bookstore, serves a limited but very creative menu.
Raul's Taqueria (lunch), serves inexpensive Mexican food, quickly, in a unprepossessing atmosphere.
The Sub Shop (lunch), a family-run sandwich shop that has become a local institution.
Dusty Spur Cafe (breakfast, lunch, dinner), across the railroad tracks from downtown, this popular, old west-themed cafe has it's own take on classic Americana cuisine.
The Longbranch (breakfast, lunch, dinner, bar), a bit of old La Grande retained into the new millennium. Breakfasts and bar fare at a reasonable price.
Joe Beans (lunch, coffee), owner roasted coffee and light meals. Al and Colleen are local musicians as well the proprietors here.
Orange Rhino Bakery (pastries), is new in town and features amply-sized baked goods along with coffee and tea. Opens early, at 6 AM.

Alert: Please correct the errors!
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has recently become the significant mapping tool for millions of customers worldwide, providing its users with accurate terrestrial positions almost instantaneously. The functionality of a GPS receiver depends on the number of satellites to which it can establish an unobstructed line of sight. Current tools perform satellite visibility predictions without considering terrain or structures that block GPS signals, a major issue in mountainous and urban areas. This paper will describe a new tool for ArcGIS that predicts satellite visibility considering line of sight obstructions. The tool requires a raster surface model, the test date and time, and the orbital properties of the GPS satellites. It produces grids depicting the number of visible satellites and optimal viewing time in each cell. The new tool allows users to avoid areas of signal loss and choose the best time to map using their GPS receiver.

Essential Aspects Of Cialis - An A-Z
Learn How to Overcome the Challenges of Erectile Dysfunction through Drugs
Depression would be the biggest killer currently. As the life of people is now increasingly more hectic and fast, they can be becoming highly at risk of problems like depression along with other mental disorders. Many medicines and medicine is you can find like Prozac. Generic wellbutrin, zoloft which proves very advantageous within the recovery from any type of depression.
To start the dosage in the drug you should have prescription. Such a prescription might be at a doctor or perhaps an online source. A prescription which a patient avails from online sources is referred to as a web-based prescription. The online prescriptions of
can be obtained without charge from various online sources.
The south-west of England study was conducted on 260 patients who had had varying numbers of erectile dysfunction. Men placed on Cialis reported 81% betterment in erection. Some patients were also placed on placebo pills; they reported 30% improvement of their erections. Women reported 56% and 32% improvement, respectively within their sexual function. The participating patients were investigated for your effect of Cialis inside the aspects of orgasm satisfaction, sexual confidence, sexual satisfaction, and easy erection, satisfaction of erection and satisfaction from the medication.
Although, there are several unwanted effects which are listed within the utilisation of the drug the records indicate that moderate using pattern in the medicine to improve the circulation towards the penis area. For the convenience on the big number users you will discover version from the drug such as oral jelly and soft tabs that happen to be better to consume.
Unfortunately, generally in most men being affected by E.D., the PDE-5 enzyme neutralizes any available cGMP and without cGMP a hardon becomes flaccid or is not going to occur in any way. That?s where PDE-5 inhibitors like Viagra,
and Levitra appear in. These drugs "inhibit" or block the unwanted PDE-5 thus abdominal muscles much wanted cGMP is permitted to remain in the penis after sexual stimulation occurs, thus aiding the erection process and keeping the penis erect. The question is, "Since many of these drugs have the identical effect, how is it that I choose one over another?"

Having stayed in both Ivano Frankivsk hostels, we definitely preferred this one. It is cleaner, closer to the city centre, and staff is nicer. It is somewhat hidden behind a row of flats, but only a short walk from the city centre. Staff was very helpful with getting us a cab at an ungodly hour. Rooms and facilities are fine. I wish we would have stayed longer!

Road Test: 2003 Saab 9-5

VIENNA, VA - Saab. The name alone tends to create an odd reaction with many people, even those who consider themselves to be die-hard car enthusiasts. Phrases like "quirky and strange" or "upscale yet off-beat" are just a few of the comments that folks use when trying to describe a Saab to others. Often accompanying those descriptions are family stories about Saabs and go something like, "I had an uncle who owned several Saabs - he was always sort of weird..." And while it may be true that the Saab brand attracts people who want to break from the norm and value individuality over group approval, the brand today is much more mainstream than many think.
Only time will tell what effect General Motors ownership will have on Saab Automobile AB of Trollhattan, Sweden, but if the 2003 9-5 is any indication as to where things are headed, we'd say they're on the right path. We found many things to like about the 9-5, a few that were very clever and a few that were, yes, quirky.
The 2003 Saab 9-5 series offers a few different engine and transmission configurations to the potential buyer. There are two versions of the turbo-charged 2.3L 4-cylinder powerplant: a relatively sedate 185 horsepower model, or the more lively 250 horsepower model. Either of the 4-banger models can be had with a 5-speed manual or a new 5-speed automatic. Buyers who opt for the larger asymmetrically turbo charged 3.0L V6 are not offered a transmission choice - the flavor is strictly automatic.
Take a step up to the "luxury touring" model (Arc) and you'll have no say in the engine department - it's a take-it-or-leave-it 3.0L asymmetrically turbo charged V6 with a stodgy automatic transmission (sorry gear shifters).
And for those who take their latte's with a double-shot of espresso, the high performance Aero model offers a 2.3L High Output Turbo that wrings 250 ponies from the internals - or over 100 amazing horsepower per liter. Transmission choices are similar to the Linear - the 2.3L motor is offered with either a 5-speed manual or an all new 5-speed automatic.
Since all 9-5's are front wheel drive, many would (in all fairness) suggest that the forced induction + FWD = massive torque steer. But Saab has done a terrific job of eliminating all but the slightest hint of torque steer from their platforms.

GM Mosquitoes: What Could Go Wrong?
Inside the insectary - "These gene drives, they're able to copy themselves. So instead of half of the offspring inheriting the gene drive, almost all of them do. So what happens is that it spreads and it spreads and it spreads. And this is the fantastic thing. Because it allows that gene to be selfish in a population. And in a very short amount of time you can actually transform an entire wild population into a modified population. It's powerful." (previously: 1,2,3)

This represents a fundamental failure of CIHR's primary mandate
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) (previously) administers operating grants to researchers in areas of basic, clinical, and population health research. Recent changes to the way CIHR reviews and awards grants have many scientists warning that "there is little hope that the best ideas and projects will be funded" and calling for a rollback of the changes.

If you've got the data, you have got to publish it.
Early in his career cardiologist Peter Wilmshurst was offered several years salary to sit on bad data. He explains to Spiegel Online why he declined:
The patients that took part in our research did this on the expectation that their data would be used. In this study the participants had had cardiac catheterization. They had risked their lives for the study! So you cannot hush up the results![more inside]

Research integrity: Don't let transparency damage science
We have identified ten red-flag areas that can help to differentiate healthy debate, problematic research practices and campaigns that masquerade as scientific inquiry. None by itself is conclusive, but a preponderance of troubling signs can help to steer the responses of scientists and their institutions to criticism.
Invisible Influence: A Bacterial Guide to Your Health
Jack Gilbert, a Microbial Ecologist at Argonne and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago, gave a free public lecture at Argonne. In recent years, scientists have discovered that our bodies teem with microbial life, which outnumber our cells 10 to one. In his talk, Gilbert explored how your microbial world influences your health, probing where that microbial world comes from, and highlighting the ways in which your lifestyle, diet and medical treatment can influence your microbiome.
When we get closer to nature, we do our overstressed brains a favor.
"Imagine a therapy that had no known side effects, was readily available, and could improve your cognitive functioning at zero cost," the researchers wrote in their paper. It exists, they continued, and it's called "interacting with nature."
Popular Research Articles of 2015
Altmetric's top 100 academic research articles of 2015. These are the articles that captured the most attention from the mainstream media, blogs, Wikipedia, and social networks this year, according to Altmetric.
Humans 2.0 - "With CRISPR, scientists can change, delete, and replace genes in any animal, including us. Working mostly with mice, researchers have already deployed the tool to correct the genetic errors responsible for sickle-cell anemia, muscular dystrophy, and the fundamental defect associated with cystic fibrosis. One group has replaced a mutation that causes cataracts; another has destroyed receptors that H.I.V. uses to infiltrate our immune system." [more inside]
The best way to settle this question is to build a 100-TeV collider
Nima Arkani-Hamed is championing a campaign to build the world's largest particle collider - "Two years ago, he agreed to become the inaugural director of the new Center for Future High Energy Physics in Beijing. He has since visited China 18 times, campaigning for the construction of a machine of unprecedented scale: a circular particle collider up to 60 miles in circumference, or nearly four times as big around as Europe's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Nicknamed the 'Great Collider', and estimated to cost roughly $10 billion over 30 years, it would succeed the LHC as the new center of the physics universe. According to Arkani-Hamed and those who agree with him, this 100-trillion-electron-volt (TeV) collider would slam subatomic particles together hard enough to either find the particles that the LHC could not muster or rule them out, rescuing or killing the naturalness principle and propelling physicists toward one of two radically different pictures: that of a knowable universe, or an unknowable multiverse."

Field Work Fail
The battle between academia and business for research talent
Uber would like to buy your robotics department Today's early-stage inquiry — so-called basic research, the Level 1 work, where scientists are still puzzling over fundamental questions — is financed almost exclusively by the federal government. It's too far out, too speculative, to attract much investment; it isn't clear if anyone will make any money on it. This wasn't always the case.
Good science is boring science
A study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS ONE suggests that measures currently afoot in nearly every area of science to increase the transparency requirements for research will mean we can expect to see more of these seemingly dull results in the future -- and that's a good thing. Far from boring, those trials that find a drug doesn't do what we hoped can be equally as important -- or even more so -- than the ones that do.
Africa's Innovators
As part of our special focus on innovation in Africa, we have developed a list of 40 remarkable African innovators. Actually, it's more like 47 but we counted teams as one. Our decision to celebrate these idea creators and solution providers stems from our belief that the true wealth of Africa is not buried under its soil, but in the brains of its best minds. This list is a testament to that belief.
Growing up as a child research subject
If I do something clumsy or awkward, a sort of mental flag pops up in my head, and it bears a chimp's face. Once someone caught me, at 13, picking my nose in school: was that a lingering habit from my time among the chimps? Our family cats hated me because I could not keep my hands off them; even more than usual for a small child, I always wanted to pick them up. Perhaps furry things seemed more welcoming to me than they did to other children. In my early 20s, I caught myself sitting cross-legged at a desk chair. That's a regular habit of mine, but on that day I happened to be sitting in a courtroom — as counsel at a defense table. I blamed the chimps then, too. But that's what I tell myself, of course. I don't tell others about the chimps much.In "Monkey Day Care," Michelle Dean writes for The Verge about her recollections of being a child participant in primate research, her frustrating attempt to find out more about the study, and about the history of and ethical questions about such research.
Charging toward an era of genetically modified humans
The CRISPR Revolution [ungated: 1,2,3] - "Biologists continue to hone their tools for deleting, replacing or otherwise editing DNA and a strategy called CRISPR has quickly become one of the most popular ways to do genome engineering. Utilizing a modified bacterial protein and a RNA that guides it to a specific DNA sequence, the CRISPR system provides unprecedented control over genes in many species, including perhaps humans. This control has allowed many new types of experiments, but also raised questions about what CRISPR can enable." [more inside]
Stop, Drop the Beat, and Roll
For their senior project, George Mason University students Seth Robertson and Viet Tran decided to ignore all of their professors and classmates who told them their idea was terrible. They proceeded to invent a fire extinguisher that uses sound waves instead of chemicals to put out fires. The project was partially inspired by the fact that traditional fire extinguishers do not work in space. [more inside]
When your phone is also your doctor
The early days of Apple's ResearchKit software seem set to revolutionize clinical research recruitment, with one Parkinson's study enrolling thousands of people in just a few hours. Apple's new ResearchKit: 'Ethics quagmire' or medical research aid?, from The Verge, discusses some of the ethical quandaries surrounding recruitment for medical studies via mobile app. A follow-up article discusses some changes already made to the developer guidelines to address some of these concerns about informed consent and data sharing. Ars Technica covers the Food and Drug Administration's regulatory requirements for medical devices and how they may apply to mobile apps, including those using ResearchKit.
"Diversity fuels conversation and creativity"
"You Are Welcome Here": Small Stickers Make a Big Difference for LGBTQ Scientists
Upon entering, I immediately noticed tiny stickers dotting the halls: the iconic WHOI ship, sailing in front of a rainbow sky over the words, "You are welcome here." I can't describe how powerful it was to see those welcome messages on the office doors of scientists' whose work had inspired me to pursue biological oceanography – in a building commemorating an oceanographer, Alfred C. Redfield, who discovered a conserved atomic ratio between carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus that I think about in my research every day. The ship stickers are small, maybe even easy to miss if you're not attuned, but they packed a punch strong enough to rid me of my worries. I left the Redfield Building with renewed vigor, confident about what I was pursuing, only worried about feet that were literally wet, but not figuratively.
Embodied Cognition
The Deep Mind of Demis Hassabis - "The big thing is what we call transfer learning. You've mastered one domain of things, how do you abstract that into something that's almost like a library of knowledge that you can now usefully apply in a new domain? That's the key to general knowledge. At the moment, we are good at processing perceptual information and then picking an action based on that. But when it goes to the next level, the concept level, nobody has been able to do that." (previously: 1,2) [more inside]
Paging Ms. Frizzle, paging Ms. Frizzle
Why should Oscar nominees have all the fun? May Britt Moser was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine this year (along with her husband, Edvard Moser, and colleague John O'Keefe) for "for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain". Her bio and list of publications can be found here. Designer Matthew Hubble was inspired by the attention paid to movie stars and their clothing to create a custom dress for Britt Moser that combines leather, silk, and beads to illustrate neurons in a very new way.
"We used a mixture of sequins and beads for the cyton, and created the beautiful synapses similarly, but the myelin sheath on the axons we just couldn't make look beautiful and so decided a splash of artistic license is allowed after all."[more inside]
Mother of the Sea
Every year in Uto, a remote town at the Southern tip of Japan, a festival is held to celebrate a woman known locally as the Mother of the Sea. Dr Kathleen Mary Drew-Baker died without knowing her research would save the Japanese seaweed industry and lead to a world multi-billion dollar obsession with sushi. The story of nori in Japan.

Women in Academic Science: A Changing Landscape
A new paper in the journal Psychological Science in the Public Interest Provides a detailed and comprehensive look at the gender gap between men and women in academic science.
Their (surprisingly optimistic?) conclusion?: Barriers to women's full participation in mathematically intensive academic science fields are rooted in pre-college factors and the subsequent likelihood of majoring in these fields, and future research should focus on these barriers rather than misdirecting attention toward historical barriers that no longer account for women's underrepresentation in academic science.

Welcome to the jungle!
They didn't see the whole system was going to sour so quickly
The Boston Globe reports on the post-doc crisis in science research:
The life of the humble biomedical postdoctoral researcher was never easy: toiling in obscurity in a low-paying scientific apprenticeship that can stretch more than a decade. The long hours were worth it for the expected reward — the chance to launch an independent laboratory and do science that could expand human understanding of biology and disease.
But in recent years, the postdoc position has become less a stepping stone and more of a holding tank. Some of the smartest people in Boston are caught up in an all-but-invisible crisis, mired in a biomedical underclass as federal funding for research has leveled off, leaving the supply of well-trained scientists outstripping demand.
"A Pyramid Scheme"
"Imagine a job where about half of all the work is being done by people who are in training. That is, in fact, what happens in the world of biological and medical research." --- NPR reports [audio] on postdocs & the scientific workforce as part of a series on the funding crisis in biomedical research. The series also includes When Scientists Give Up [audio], and U.S. Science Suffering From Booms And Busts In Funding [audio].

objectification and its effects on women
"If a woman is objectified in a relationship, the research indicates, it's more likely that her male partner will sexually coerce and pressure her." [more inside]
On Lionfish, research, and science fairs
Last month, a twelve-year-old girl named Lauren Arrington was credited with research showing that lionfish, an invasive species, were surviving in water with a much lower percentage of salinity than was thought possible. [more inside]
That's a lot of decaying plant matter
Word association time: I say "peat", you say… "Scotland", right? Not necessarily! Peat is found around the world, including in many African countries. Earlier this year, scientists trekked through a Congo swamp, braving gorillas, elephants, crocodiles, and more. Their reward? Discovery of a peat bog the size of England. The team estimates that the bog covers between 100,000 and 200,000 square kilometers (40,000 to 80,000 sq miles), with the peat-layer reaching up to 7m (23ft) beneath the ground.
'Whoa… big brain huh… cool!'"
Lovatt reasoned that if she could live with a dolphin around the clock, nurturing its interest in making human-like sounds, like a mother teaching a child to speak, they'd have more success. - stories from the NASA- funded project to teach Dolphins to talk using LSD (among other methods. )
Humping a playmate during a romp...
Decades of scientific research suggests that beneath dogs' seemingly frivolous fun lies a hidden language of honesty and deceit, empathy and perhaps even a humanlike morality.
A SAT Attack on the Erdos Discrepancy Conjecture
Computers are providing solutions to math problems that we can't check - "A computer has solved the longstanding Erdős discrepancy problem! Trouble is, we have no idea what it's talking about — because the solution, which is as long as all of Wikipedia's pages combined, is far too voluminous for us puny humans to confirm." (via; previously ;)
Tamiflu, Roche and the Cochrane Collaboration
Ben Goldacre, The Guardian: "Today we found out that Tamiflu doesn't work so well after all. Roche, the drug company behind it, withheld vital information on its clinical trials for half a decade, but the Cochrane Collaboration, a global not-for-profit organisation of 14,000 academics, finally obtained all the information. Putting the evidence together, it has found that Tamiflu has little or no impact on complications of flu infection, such as pneumonia." [more inside]
Researchers Use Stem Cells to Regenerate Muscle Nearly as Strong
Scientists Progress in Quest to Grow Muscle Tissue in Labs - "The researchers are now working on optimizing the growth of human muscle tissue, including finding a way to get blood flow to the tissue, the best source of cells and the best growing medium for the cells."
Pentagon Channel, Defense Laboratories Team Up for New Science TV Show
"Armed with Science," is a new science-focused TV show developed by two of the Department of Defense's in-house research laboratories and the Pentagon. They have always developed some crazy tech work, like perception tests on their robots. If Skynet is going to be real, I think these are the agencies that will put the terminators online.
