Learn how to look at the Sun safely, whether it's during a solar eclipse or on an ordinary sunny day.
For special events such as solar eclipses, I always choose my words very carefully when advising people on how to safely look at the Sun. I want people to enjoy the beauty, but on the other hand, there's a natural tendency to be overly cautious. After all, I don't want anyone to suffer eye damage.The problem with looking at the Sun is obvious: it's so bright that prolonged, direct exposure can cause permanent damage to the retina, leading to loss of vision or blindness. To view the Sun safely, you need to filter out more than 99% of the Sun's light before it reaches your eyes.
Given these caveats, here's some practical advice on how to safely view sunspots and solar eclipses alike. This article covers a wide range of options:
- How to View a Solar Eclipse Directly
- View the Sun by Pinhole Projection
- Using a Telescope or Binoculars to View the Sun
- High-End Solar Filters for Telescopes
How to View a Solar Eclipse DirectlyThere are many ways you can look at the Sun's beauty with complete confidence that nothing bad will happen to your eyes. If you're observing the Sun with your naked eyes, all you really need are low-cost solar observing glasses from companies such as Rainbow Symphony. You can often order such glasses in bulk quantities at dirt-cheap per-unit prices. I'd order as soon as possible, in case companies start running out of glasses prior to the eclipse and transit.
Alternatively, you can go to a welding-supply store and buy a piece of #14 arcwelder's glass, which reduces sunlight enough for safe direct naked-eye viewing. And it's important to remember that the annular and partial phases of an eclipse will be easily visible to the naked eye.
But no matter what, do not use "filters" such as smoked glass, stacked sunglasses, polarized filters, camera filters, candy wrappers, or compact discs. They might reduce the Sun's glare, but enough harmful radiation can sneak through to damage your eyes. Only use materials specifically manufactured for safe solar viewing, or #14 arcwelders glass.
Look at the Sun by Pinhole Projection
If you're still queasy about using filters, or if you want to show the Sun to many people at the same time, you can use a small telescope or binoculars to project an image of the Sun onto a screen or white sheet of paper (almost any flat surface will suffice). A big telescope lets in a lot of sunlight, which poses the risk of overheating internal components. So I recommend either using a telescope with an aperture no larger than 4 inches, or using a mask with a 3- to 4-inch-wide hole to block the opening of any telescope with an aperture greater than 4 inches.
Remove the finderscope and place an eyepiece at the telescope's focuser. Aim the telescope in the general direction of the Sun (without looking at the Sun through the telescope!) and move it around until sunlight streams out of the eyepiece. Believe me, you'll know when you hit the sweet spot. You can also use binoculars mounted on a camera tripod, but make sure to cover one lens. A sunshade that blocks ambient light from falling on the projection surface will improve your view.
Learn more about solar projection.
Using a Telescope or Binoculars to Look at the Sun
If you want to observe the Sun through a telescope, there are many options. Because binoculars and telescopes concentrate the Sun's blazing light, it's even more crucial to use safe filters. Make sure to avoid any filter that is placed at the eyepiece end of the scope. The concentrated sunlight will probably destroy such a filter, followed shortly thereafter by your vision.
The easiest and least expensive option is solar filter material from a company such as Baader, whose material has been highly rated in an S&T Test Report.
Make sure to place the filter material at the front end of your telescope, and to cover the entire opening. If you plan to use a large telescope, no problem — simply create a mask with a 3- or 4-inch-wide hole and cover the hole with your filter material.Many different companies sell safe solar filters (often made of glass, plastic, or Mylar) that go on the front end of scopes, where they block more than 99% of sunlight before it ever enters the telescope tube. These filters allow you to gaze at the Sun for hours with no risk whatsoever, and are basically showing you the Sun's visible surface (the photosphere) in white light. Besides seeing the eclipsed Sun or Venus's silhouette, you will probably see scads of sunspots as well, which are fascinating in their own right.
Make sure your filter is securely attached to the front of the scope, so there is zero possibility that it will come off while viewing. And to avoid damaging your finderscope, either remove it or place a cap or solar filter at its front end. Also note that safe solar filters work equally well with binoculars.
High-End Solar Filters for TelescopesLast but certainly not least, many amateurs are currently using specialized solar equipment that allows them to observe the Sun at very narrow wavelengths, particularly the hydrogen-alpha line at 656.3 nanometers or the calcium-K line at 393.3 nanometers. Such filters are rather costly, but they allow you to see different layers of the Sun, and they can provide spectacular views of prominences and filaments that you can't see in white light. You'll want to use these filters frequently for solar viewing even when the Sun is not being eclipsed or transited.
I wish you safe viewing of the Sun, and most of all, clear skies! After all, even sunlight can't poke through heavy clouds in Earth's atmosphere --- the ultimate natural solar filter.

Voters will decide whether to boost Missoula's Mountain Line mill levy
MISSOULA, Mont. - Mountain Line's Route 1 is Missoula's busiest route. It takes you through downtown, to the library, to Southgate Mall, up south Avenue to Missoula College and the University of Montana.
Rider Joe Lanza thinks bus travel is good for everybody.
"The smog," said Lanza, "and the emissions that it cuts down on."
Some of the mill levy would extend service on Mountain Line's four busiest routes from about 7 p.m. to 9:50 p.m.
"I work in the evenings," said rider Tina Carter, "so if it would extend a bit later then I wouldn't have to worry about riding my home home."
Riders said they would use the bus more if they had longer hours and more flexibility. That's what Mountain Line wants to hear.
The $1.7 million mill levy would offer more vehicles and service for specialized transportation for seniors and the disabled.
"We're at capacity now with the door-to-door, curb-to-curb service," said Mountain Line general manager Michael Tree.
Route 2, which offers service through downtown and Reserve Street would see 15-minute service all day. Route 1 was the first route to have 15-minute service all day.
"That route has increased in ridership 45 percent this year," said Tree, "so it tells you the importance of frequency with public transportation."
It's the first time Mountain Line asked for a mill levy increase since it started service in 1976.
"You're not only helping the environment but you're also making it a system that is a community based system work better," said homeowner Charity Norton.
But homeowner Linda Kooren said the bus is too inconvenient. She said $19 would put gas in her car to get her where she has to go on time.
Mountain Line asked the public what it wanted in a series of public forums. It's those improvements the mill levy increase would pay for.
The levy goes before voters in November.

Re: Chicken Korma Recipe EVER!
Great recipe, thank you for sharing it. I used it to cook my first korma and I used it last night to do a lamb korma. It will be one of my firm favourites.

Re: Chicken Korma Recipe EVER!
For what it's worth, here's my version which tastes pretty close to how I remember kormas tasting in Indian restaurants in the UK in the 70's. It seems to have changed it's flavour in a lot of them since then.
For a change, to finish, when serving, put a swirl of honey on the top in the serving dish. Yum! I had this variation recently in Dunstable.
GInger/garlic paste can be bought in some asian food shops, or can be made by finely chopping then grinding in a pestle & mortar, or liquidising. You�ll need a good thumb size piece of ginger scraped to remove the skin, and about 4 or 5 garlic cloves, skin removed.
Chicken Korma
500g Chicken thighs, skinned, boned and cut into bite size pieces
2 Tpsn Garlic/ginger paste.
150g Thick (plain) yoghurt (Important! MUST be full fat - no low fat rubbish here, it won't work)
1 dried red chilli or fresh green chilli chopped and deseeded (add another one for a bit more kick)
1 large chopped onion
2 Tbsp Ghee or clarified butter (It's part of the taste and it's healthy)
1 Tbsp Ground coriander
Pinch Ground black pepper
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Garam masala
75g Creamed coconut
50g Unsalted, unroasted cashews (about a decent handful)
1 tsp Salt (to taste)
50 g Ground almonds
3 or 4 Sprigs of coriander
juice 1 lime (or lemon)
A dollop Double cream for a creamier finish to the sauce. (Maybe � to � cup)
Chopped coriander leaves, to garnish
1. With your hands, mix the chicken with 1 Tbsn of the garlic/ginger paste and a tablespoon or two of yoghurt and the juice of the lime. Cover and marinade for 12 hours or in the fridge overnight.
2. Add the ghee to a heavy based pan and when hot, fry off the chicken until sealed.
3. Remove the chicken and reserve
4. Add the spices for a minute or two over a low to medium heat. Don�t let it burn.
5. Turn up the heat, add the onion, remainder of the garlic/ginger paste and the chopped chilli and stir fry for 5 minutes.
6. Add the cashews, the coriander sprigs and a little water to not quite cover and cook until everything is soft (about 5 minutes)
7. Liquidise the mixture and return to the pan.
8. Return the chicken and it�s liquid to the pan.
9. Add the creamed coconut and bring to the boil, stirring until the coconut is dissolved. Stir in the ground almonds and reduce the heat to barely a simmer, stirring often to prevent sticking and burning. About 10 to 20 minutes
10. Remove from heat, and add salt to taste, then add a good dollop of double cream. Mix well.
It is ready to eat now with some rice and naan, garnished with the chopped coriander, but to let the flavours permeate through it is recommended to leave the dish overnight and reheat gently, avoiding burning. This can also be frozen successfully.
Most curries benefit from standing overnight.
I should add that you can feel free to adjust quantities to suit your taste. It's not set in stone but this is OK as a starting point. Mine tend to vary every time I make them as I don't always measure but just bung approximate measures of stuff in.
I think that the cashew and almonds adds to the sweetness as well, but there's no harm in adding a little sugar or honey if you have a sweet tooth.
Taste, taste, taste as you go though.
Like all recipes, they vary on who is making them (Mum's is best?).
If you have any variations which turn out OK, please post and let us all know.
You can also substitute oil instead of the ghee, but you should really use some ghee for the taste. Using all oil doesn't taste the same.
On the other hand, I say, use all the full fat options and just don't pig out too often on it!!!
BTW I have also added a recipe for Butter Chicken, a far too rich , creamy, mild recipe virtually indistinguishable from those I have ever tasted it in restaurants.
You can find it here.

Re: Chicken Korma Recipe EVER!
I make Ginger garlic paste in the food processor. I use 1cm of Ginger root for every clove of garlic. Once finely minced I scoop it into a ziplock bag, flatten out & store it in a plastic box in the freezer. Wheni need it I just snap off the required amount.

Re: Chicken Korma Recipe EVER!
Great Recipe, thank you, but I think it still needs a few tweaks...
1.It needs a few teaspoons of sugar or honey to sweeten it up.
2.The addition of a few frozen peas really add to the overall taste (in my opinion!).
3.Cooking time seems a bit excessive - it can be cut back at all three stages and still taste great!
4.I have to use coconut milk as can't get creamed coconut here.
My slightly modified recipe is:
1.kg Chicken breast or mini breast fillets
1 heaped tablespoon of finely grated fresh ginger
3 cloves of garlic, minced
150g thick (plain) yoghurt
1 dried red chilli
2 finely chopped onions
1 tbsp ghee or veg. oil
1 tbsp ground coriander
Pinch of ground black pepper
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp garam masala
500ml coconut milk
some frozen peas
1 tsp salt, or to taste
3 or 4 tsp sugar or a blob of honey
2 heaped tbsps ground almonds
finely chopped Coriander Leaves, to garnish
juice of 1/2 lemon or 2 limes
1. Cut the chicken breasts into largish bite sized chunks
2. Mix the chicken with the ginger, garlic and yogurt. Cover and marinade for 12 hours or in the fridge overnight.
3. Liquidise the chopped onion and red chillies, add a little water and blend until smooth.
4. Heat the ghee/oil in a pan.
5. Add the ground coriander, ground black pepper, turmeric and garam masala and stir fry for about 1-minute over a low heat, taking care not to burn them.
6. Turn up the heat, add the onion and chilli paste and stir fry for 5 minutes, adding water if necessary.
7. Add the chicken and the marinade and continue to stir fry for another 5 minutes.
8. Add the coconut milk and enough water to *just* cover the chicken and bring to the boil, stirring until the coconut is dissolved. Stir in the ground almonds and the frozen peas.
9. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the chicken is tender (15 to 20 minutes). Be sure to stir regularly to prevent sticking and burning.
10. Remove from heat, add sugar/honey, lemon juice and salt to taste. Mix well.
11. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice and a blob of natural yoghurt.
Eat what you must and then keep the rest for tomorrow when the flavours will have fully developed. Lovely!

Re: Chicken Korma Recipe EVER!
I would cook both recipes without the yogurt - you end up with a slightly middle eastern taste.

The phenomenon wherein two roadways form an uncontrolled intersection. The objective of an interpass is to make it throught to the other side unscathed. Interpasses are regulated by laws stating that no vehicle may apply any form of braking within 1000 feet, and are, in fact, encouraged to accelerate in order to avoid collision.
That interpass has claimed more lives than cancer and AIDS combined, but I assure you it was a lot more fun dying.

Global collaborations to create and use the EOL
At the Biodiversity Synthesis Center (BioSynC), we host and fund synthesis meetings on a wide range of topics in biodiversity, evolution and conservation relevant to the EOL.
We host 8-10 meetings annually and encourage meeting planners to develop groups with a variety of professional perspectives (student to faculty), to foster gender and ethnic diversity, and to involve international participants.
Check out our recent meetings or propose a meeting.
Proposing an EOL synthesis meeting
The synthesis of biodiversity information holds great promise as a source of scientific progress in many areas of biology and related disciplines. The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is becoming a nexus for integration of biodiversity information from many fields, and the EOL Biodiversity Synthesis Group, through its Biodiversity Synthesis Center, provides a central location for scientific working groups to convene and explore new ideas and develop tools for synthetic analysis in biodiversity science. We invite proposals for bringing together diverse groups of people to advance biodiversity science and contribute to the EOL.
Synthesis Meetings are held on a wide range of topics in biodiversity, evolution, and conservation. Synthesis Meetings may be held in Chicago at BioSynC or at other national or international venues. Proposals should be focused on biodiversity informatics, involve the formulation of novel scientific ideas, build new bridges among disciplines, and/or deal with a timely issue in biodiversity or conservation. All proposals must have a direct relation to EOL. We anticipate supporting 5-7 Synthesis Meetings per year, with each meeting budget ranging from about $10,000 up to $40,000. We encourage graduate student and postdoctoral researcher involvement in Synthesis Meetings and hope that they will gain valuable training and insight from participation. We strongly encourage diverse, international participation in hopes of fostering novel collaborations.
We welcome Synthesis Meeting proposals at any time, but set 3 target dates for review each year: 1 March, 1 July, and 1 November.
The review process takes at least 8 weeks. Please allow a minimum of 4 months between your proposal submission and your target meeting week.
Some topics of interest to EOL
Taxonomy and systematics of megadiverse species groups. Developing consensus species-level taxonomies of large and under-studied species groups, including review of names and synonyms, planning for EOL page content and the synthesis of biogeography and evolution in hyperdiverse taxa.
Conservation biology and climate change. Addressing the challenge of how the EOL can become a tool for scientists studying climate change, including such topics as integration of theory and empirical data, identification of hotspots and conservation priorities, identifying the role of organisms and ecosystems in climate cycles, and the development of practical tools to aid biologists and policy makers in identifying and preserving biodiversity.
Biogeography. Synthesis of biogeographic data, development of tools for biodiversity mapping in space and time, incorporating current and historical distribution records, fossils, predictive range maps, illustrating connections among species (e.g. food webs) on the EOL.
The marine realm. Regional or taxonomic synthesis topics that will make a strong contribution to our understanding of marine biodiversity, biogeography, evolution and conservation.
Phylogenetics and evolution. Integrating the tree of life in the EOL, development of new tools for visualizing phylogenies and patterns of biodiversity on phylogenetic trees, and advancing evolutionary ideas in the Encyclopedia of Life.
Computing and software applications. New software that integrates and visualizes patterns in biodiversity information, as well applications for the use of supercomputers and grid networks for high performance bioinformatics applications as related to the EOL.
Citizen science and digital learning. Developing sound, innovative education tools, applications and products to effectively teach life sciences. Creating new web-based tools and models of engagement for local and global-scale community-based science activities.
How do I submit?
We welcome Synthesis proposals at any time, but set 3 target dates for review each year: 1 March, 1 July, and 1 November. The review process take about 8 weeks. Please allow a minimum of 4 months between your proposal submission and your target meeting week.
Email applications to firstname.lastname@example.com
Proposals should be brief (about 4-7 pages) and include:
- Title
- Full contact details for group leaders
- Project summary
- Statement of meeting goals
- Statement of applicability to EOL
- Identified participant list (Include full name, title, institutional affiliation, nationality, and U.S. visa status, if applicable, for each participant. Clearly identify junior or student participants.)
- Statement of novelty (How will the combination of participants or the meeting product be novel?)
- Tentative agenda or topics to be covered
- Tentative meeting logistics (ideal location, duration, timing – please do not request EXACT dates, rather request a 7-10 day window)
- Meeting outcomes and products (i.e. specific EOL content, taxonomic lists, novel programs or applications, potential EOL curators, larger grant proposals, educational tools or curricula, community-vetted taxonomic bibliographies for the Biodiversity Heritage Library, etc.)
- Itemized meeting budget (see What a Proposal Budget Should Contain for detailed instructions)
Please note: Each funded synthesis meeting is required to produce a summary report appropriate for journal submission within 8 weeks of meeting conclusion. Acceptance of offered funding constitutes agreement to produce a report.
Also note: EOL is open access and open source. All content and applications committed to EOL must meet and maintain these standards.
Please contact Mark Westneat (email@example.com) or Audrey Aronowsky (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information or to discuss proposal development.
Strong proposals usually contain ideas and questions that are novel and forward thinking regarding biodiversity science, and also make a solid commitment to helping the EOL develop content or realize novel uses or interpretations of EOL content. International, institutional, career-level and other forms of diversity of attendees are important to our mission. Moderate sized meetings (10-15 people) are often more effective than large (25-30 people) meetings, for some themes.

I like Bortles. More importantly the NFL scouts like him too. Go on over to Walterfootball and check out the rumor section. There are numberous reports (1 was not a rumor but a NFL network report) that scouts have not been overly impressed with any of the QBs at the senior bowl and that despite not being there, a majority of the discussion has revolved around Bortles.
Some team will take a chance on Bortles very early in the draft.
Here are some of the things I like:
The part of his game that amazes me the most. He doesn't throw at 1 velocity. He uses touch passes when they are needed and he uses bullets when they are needed. This is something he does better right now than many current NFL QBs.
His natural inclination when he feels pressure is to step up into the pocket rather than float back or go laterally. This seems simple, but it is important in the NFL.
He doesn't stare down recievers and will actually look guys off. This is something you don't see a lot of guys coming out of college do well.
His ball placement is excellent. He does the little things in this regard like put the ball on the opposite side of the receiver from the defender.
Most importantly he played well in big games.
I know most don't agree with me but if I am a top 3 team and I need a QB, I do not necessarily automatically take Bridgewater. I think Bortles requires some serious consideration.
He definitely is a better prospect than Gabbert, who I never liked as a 1st rounder. He was a perfect example of teams falling in love with a guys arm, rather than actually looking at the small things like ball placement and tendencies under pressure/ passrush.

Dagmar Shaw got out of the game... and into the movies.
Sean is a washed-up child actor reduced to the lowest dregs of reality television to keep himself afloat. His life was a downward spiral of alcoholism, regret, and failure... until he met Dagmar.
Except Sean has secrets, dark even for the Hollywood treadmill of abuse, addiction, and rehab. And Dagmar is a cipher. There are dark rumors about her past, the places she's been, the things she was involved in. People tend to die around her and now, she wants Sean for something. A movie, she says, but with her history, who's to say what her real game is?

You are truly an artist, That is such a pretty quilt, just the one for a footballer. He will love it.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
You are truly an artist, That is such a pretty quilt, just the one for a footballer. He will love it.
What a clever, creative and beautifully-done quilt. I think it's fantastic!
This quilt is wonderful! When I give a quilt as a gift I really want it to speak to the heart of the recipient. Sometimes it is a stretch for me to come up with ideas especially if they are "into" things that I'm not so much into. Your quilt speaks so well of your love for your grandson . . . . really an inspiration to me today. Thank you!
Happy Camper
Because every piece of fabric has a story to tell
Awesome quilt!!!! Truly a winner
Grama Laura
nicely done
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
I made two football quilts this year. Yours is better but I never saw a panel.... Where did you get it?
Jojos Nana, Carol
you are very gifted....
Love it and sure your grandson will to.
Treat people the way you want to be treated!!
Wow, what a great quilt for football. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

SO impressed with your space - way to go!
How have u accumulated so much fabric so quickly? It's a great creative outlet-for men, women and children!
What part of Ark? My dad has a resort in Bull Shoals Ark.We visit him and when we do I go to a shop in Flippen Ark to buy fabric.She also does the quilting on long arms. I think she had two in her shop.If your ever in flippen there is an old train depot that they converted into a sm rest and has a soda jerk fountain.Cool Place. I love your room and Hope you enjoy it for many years.God Bless
Well...what more can I say....this room and your impressive organisational skills have knocked our collective socks off, not forgetting your obvious talent when putting fabric to machine. Bravo....well done.....You would have the absolute screaming horrors if you walked into our workroom/studio...I have one half for quilting and my husband paints and draws in the other half....the only floor you can see is the "goat tracks" to the windows, doors and of course our chairs. Somewhere in the chaos there's usually a couple of dogs and cats.
I have been using a sewing machine for most of my life and I do not have near that supplies you do. You are really serious about this./

Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Failed, and My Sister Stole My Mother's Boyfriend. Barbara Oakley. 459 pp. Prometheus Books, 2007. $28.95.
In the 1930s, Sigmund Freud collaborated with American ambassador William C. Bullitt to produce a psychoanalytic study of President Woodrow Wilson, which portrayed him as suffering from a libido that had been blocked of normal expression and rechanneled into a messianic identification with his father and Jesus Christ. The manuscript was finally published in 1967 to scornful and suspicious reviews. The notion that even the master of psychoanalytic technique could provide a scientific study of a man he had never met, whose history he learned at second and third hand and about whom he had an admitted prejudice, was rejected not only by the sober historian Richard Hofstadter but also by the eminent practitioner of psychobiography Erik H. Erikson. Erikson judged, on the basis of internal evidence, that very little of the final version had actually been written by Freud himself.
No such exculpating considerations appear to relieve Barbara Oakley of responsibility for Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Failed, and My Sister Stole My Mother's Boyfriend. Oakley, an associate professor of systems engineering, became interested in what she calls the "Machiavellian" personality as the result of long experience with the erratic and deviant behavior of the sister referred to in her title. The Machiavellian syndrome was initially defined in the 1950s and principally consists of highly manipulative behavior done without moral scruple. Studies that Oakley cites associate the syndrome with another set of traits, which also characterized her sister: those of the borderline personality disorder, which includes rapid mood swings, impulsive decisions and self-damaging actions.
Having described the phenomena of concern, Oakley explores studies of neural imaging that purport to find correlations between various behavioral traits and hyperactivity of particular brain areas. From that research, she draws such conclusions as the following: "The . . . dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is where plans and concepts are held and manipulated. . . . At the grocery store, this area would help you decide to select Fuji apples rather than Golden Delicious."
On the basis of such studies, Oakley believes we can now understand the origins of Machiavellian and borderline behaviors: The various component traits of these syndromes derive from disturbances of specific neural systems. Thus, impulsivity stems from abnormal activity of the orbitofrontal cortex; inability to resolve conflicting information arises from a problematic anterior cingulate cortex; ineffective evaluations of negative stimuli flow from a dysfunctional dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; and so on. In the case of her sister, Oakley speculates that a mild case of polio as a child may well have caused neural damage to those particular brain centers.
From her intimate experiences with her sister, Oakley, a bit like Freud and Bullitt, turns to more historically dramatic examples of what she regards as similar instances of the Machiavellian and borderline syndromes, such as those manifested by Süleyman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire in the early 16th century and his spawn down the ages. She proposes that heritable pathologies rooted in Süleyman and his wife would explain the slow deterioration of the Ottoman Empire during the 400 years of its existence. Cautious historians might find the evidence for this claim a tad exiguous.
But once such bad seeds are identified, Oakley finds them sown in fields afar. Her scattered analyses of personality disorders range from those of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz (exemplified by their bitter priority dispute) to those of James Watson, Augusto Pinochet, Martha Stewart and the family of Paris Hilton.
Although Oakley devotes only a few pages to the aforementioned personalities, she expends two lengthy chapters on the deeply disturbed behavior of Slobodan Milosevic and Mao Zedong, both presumed to be suffering from borderline personality disorders and thus from brain pathologies in the corresponding areas. She believes that the dysfunctions of neural centers led, in the case of both, to the slaughter of countless innocent people. Mao's "many pathologies," Oakley maintains, "were almost certainly rooted in his genetic predisposition." Although she does not draw out the further conclusion of this presumption, the logic of her argument does suggest that additional millions of Chinese must also have had cerebral abnormalities, since they were not merely complicit in Mao's crimes but were the ones who actually tortured and executed millions of their fellow citizens. Thus considerable parts of the Chinese population—and the Serb as well—must carry the bad seeds.
Reading Oakley's book, one can hear the psychology go pop and then rapidly deflate into a limp outline of some not-unreasonable theses. That our overt behavior is a direct expression of our neurophysiology has been a staple of psychology since the early modern period. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, numerous debates broke out concerning how closely various patterns of behavior could be identified with specific regions of the brain.
In the last part of the 19th century, both Paul Broca and Carl Wernicke identified specific language centers in the brain through postmortem examination of stroke victims. In the 1930s and 1940s, however, Karl S. Lashley, in a series of ablation studies of rats, concluded that although lower sensory and motor functions could be traced to specific regions of the brain, higher mental functions such as memory and learning were distributed over wide areas in a dynamic neural network. Lashley's protégé, Donald O. Hebb, studied the psychological effects of surgical removal (due to disease) of large portions of the cortex of children and adults. He observed that, amazingly, in children the higher mental functions, including language, could be restored, even after hemispherectomy, whereas adults subjected to such surgery would suffer major mental deficits.
Studies like those of Lashley and Hebb militate against assumptions of precise localization of the kinds of functions associated with the pathologies that Oakley describes in such flexible terms. And flexibility of classification is a distinct problem. After all, the deviant behavior of her sister would seem to have little to do with what Oakley takes to be the Machiavellian activities of Mao Zedong—or Paris Hilton, for that matter; so it is quite unlikely that brain scans of the three would reveal a common pathological pattern.
There are two reasons we should not expect any interesting commonality. First, it seems unlikely that the wildly disparate behaviors exhibited by such different individuals in divergent circumstances would have a common cause, despite her application of the label "Machiavellian" to all of them. A second, and more theoretically interesting, reason is that individual differences in brain circuitry seem to preclude common sources for even apparently similar behaviors. Recent experimental observations of the developing brains of quite young animals, including humans, demonstrate the crucial role of learning and experience in shaping the synaptic connections of the neonate's brain. It would be impossible for the relatively small number of genes controlling brain growth to specify the almost uncountable number of synaptic contacts established during childhood; experience is necessary to forge some links and terminate others. Thus a simple one-size-fits-all presumption about brain centers and their heritability seems to be excluded by this long trail of experimental neurophysiology.
That experimental history, however, has been not so much overturned as ignored by the several kinds of imaging studies on which Oakley draws (some reports coming only from the Web or from popular magazines). The use of PET (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) techniques in cognitive psychology is quite recent, having largely begun in the 1990s; and many of the investigations cited here, as judged by the very latest standards, now seem naive. PET and fMRI indirectly indicate neural activity by measuring blood flow and metabolism in the brain. Experts recognize that averaging measures to identify particular brain regions disguises individual differences. They are also aware that although certain regions of the brain may exhibit greater metabolic activity while performing experimentally constrained tasks, this represents only a slight increase of the baseline activity of the resting brain. In other words, while some parts of the brain are lighting up, others, still in the dark, are simultaneously doing a lot of work—perhaps choosing the Fuji apples over the Golden Delicious.
These facts ought to caution against any easy identification of brain areas with specific emotional or cognitive activities, lest one be led to a modern version of phrenology. But Oakley raises no red flags about these problems. Indeed, the incaution of the whole book and its manipulative effect on the lay reader might even be regarded as a bit, well, Machiavellian.

When I needed a bit of help getting into the holiday spirit last week, I decided to kill a bunch of birds and seek that seasonal boost while checking a Portland landmark off my list and getting a history lesson at the same time. For 25 years, the Victorian Mansion on Danforth Street has celebrated the season by decorating the 19th-century historic house with period-appropriate holiday embellishments. The tradition enables the Mansion to attract repeat (or first-time!) winter visitors, in addition to the summer tourist crowds that are its lifeblood.
Local florists are invited to bedeck one room apiece; as long as it's Victorian-inspired, they can decorate as they see fit. Visitors tour the house, reveling in ribbon-wrapped, ceiling-brushing Christmas trees in one room, gold-flecked starfish ornaments in the next, and an ongoing refresher course on Victorian-era manners and mores. Among other things, I learned that the term "drawing room" is derived from the fact that women used to "withdraw" to that room after dinner; that trompe l'oeil-style wall paintings "fool the eye" by mimicking three-dimensional surfaces with flat paint; and that the original owners (who built the mansion as a summer home between 1858 and 1860) split their time between Maine and New Orleans (hence the two state seals at the top of the main stairway). I also yearned fervently for a return to morning visits and calling cards.
While each room was opulently adorned, my companions and I most appreciated the decorations in the upstairs sitting room, which would most frequently been occupied by the ladies of the house engaging in artistic pursuits such as piano- or harp-playing, painting, or embroidering. There, Compositions (the seven-month-old flower/jewelry/home-design store at 13 Free St.) juxtaposed natural elements — pinecones, nutshells, feathers, and branches — with silver balls and tinsel on three Christmas trees, making for an elegant-yet-subtle arrangement. Best of all, it smelled like firewood and cinnamon — holiday harbingers if there ever were some.

UTSA partners to stem teacher shortage
(March 31, 2005)--Recent college graduates and second-career professionals interested in using their math and science skills in a high school classroom at a high-need San Antonio school are encouraged to apply to the new Accelerated Teacher Education Program (A-TEP) offered at UTSA.
Participants in the program receive $4,000 in scholarship money to cover books, tuition and related fees in exchange for a commitment to teach in a high-need San Antonio school for three years. The students enroll at UTSA and take 27 credit hours of course work beginning this summer. The credit hours can count towards a master's degree. The deadline to apply for A-TEP is April 15.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up

The federally funded program targets recent college graduates or second-career professionals, such as retired military, with expertise in math or science where the national teacher shortage is especially pronounced. In Texas, 32 percent of high school science teachers are teaching out of their chosen field, while 39.6 percent of middle school math teachers are out of their field, according to the Texas Education Agency. The TEA, located in Austin, is the administrative unit for primary and secondary public education in Texas.
Participants in the UTSA program will volunteer or substitute teach in one of the partner school districts (San Antonio, Edgewood, Harlandale and Southwest) during the summer. They will also enroll in six credit hours of course work during the first summer session followed by another six credit hours during the second session.
A-TEP students will be employed by one of the participating schools beginning in August and attend program workshops throughout the year with continuous teaching evaluation and support offered through UTSA. Teachers also gain intensive mentoring support through the following two years.
Interested applicants must have a bachelor's degree in math or science from an accredited university, along with two letters of recommendation and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 overall or 2.75 over the last 60 semester hours of college. Those participants who wish to apply the course work towards a master's degree must maintain a 2.75 GPA.
Additional criteria include a completed application form; documentation of reading, writing and math abilities; acceptable scores on the self-reporting portion of Fitness for Teaching; a passing score in a content-area test and, for graduates from foreign universities, an acceptable score in the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).
For more information, visit the A-TEP Web site or contact Abraham Dominguez, project director, at (210) 458-6170.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by jgboys1, Dec 31, 2012.
Just heard on Sirius NFL radio, Lovie Smith Fired.
I wish we could get him
...the man can coach: especially defensively: he was there roughly 10 yrs and they tuned him out toward the end IMO...problem is offense with Lovie: he isn't much for coaching it at all.....he could get hired in Philly to straighten things out iMO....wouldn't be a bad fit either if he got a good OC. That hire would not make me happy as a Cowboys fan
Now THAT's a coach I want us to get
I actually mentioned this exact scenario way early in the season. There were rumors a couple years ago that Jerry loves Lovie.
That one surprises me.
I think that's a mistake by the Bears. Good coach. He needs talent along the OL like we do.
Love to have him as the DC though we be running a form of the Tampa 2 since he is a student of Dungy. His defenses have always created turn overs though and I think Lee and carter would thrive in his LB friendly scheme and I have no doubt that Ware can play DE in that system. Ratliff would thrive if healthy in a warren sap type role and put a big fat body next to him.
Funny we call it a Tampa 2 but Dungy really started it in Minnesota as the DC
I would welcome changing back to a 4-3; never been a big fan of the 3-4 yes I know it is not the defense that matters. II would say it just fits seeing Dallas running a 4-3 kind of like Pittsburgh running a 3-4.
that was a suprise
10-6 isn't good enough in that division but 8-8 is here. Oh well. Like Lovie but living here in Chicago now, I think people were ready for a change.
his ridiculously silly OC picks doomed him.
yeah i thought so as well, but also considering the lead his team blew, imagine if dallas had the same season as the bears...
Sickening, isn't it?
Sad that .500 is now all well and good as long as the players try real hard.
Would def hope that JJ at least gives him a call asap for the DC position at the very least if indeed Garrett is safe. Sorry Rob Ryan...
A Texas boy for sure and a good coach. Shame he was fired but in the NFL you gotta do something other than win in the regular season.
Yup. Gone are the 70s, part 80s and 90s where expecting excellence was the norm. Now its "we are .500 fro 16 years but we are almost there, have great pieces and try hard."
Yep. Same team that dismantled our "great leaders offense" wasn't it? At home, on Monday night, in front of the entire country.
The only reason that team was competitive was because of the defense.
If they take any sort of hit in that area, they'll be one of the worst teams in the league.
I'd bring him in just to try and figure out how he gets his defenses to get as many takeaways as they do.
Don't forget fantastic ST's! One of the best. Offense has always been Lovie's problem. Seems he and Garrett have a lot in common.
His team has missed the playoffs 5 of the last 6 years. That's the guy you want? A lot of Bears fans out there would disagree with you.
Was looking to see just how bad of a job Tice did this season as OC.
Surprising stuff.
Points per game-
Dal- 23.5 Chi-23.4
Redzone %
-Dal 51% Chi 50%
Dal 31st Chi 10th
And this man got fired for picking crappy coordinators! He went 10-6 while we have Baghdad Jerry snowballing us. Unbelievable.

I have a 10" * 10" * 1 ' with 2" diameter opening bird house in the back yard. Suddenly , I noticed it came to bee a bee hive with so many bees inside and out. Three months later , I got a beekeeper expert to get the honey . Due to the design of the bird house, we had to break its top surface but not badly damaged. We found that bees are attaching the wax to this top surface. We got hte honey and wax out and the bees started rebuilding their honey comps. Now , I made a new beehive "langsroth ... or what so ever", and I want to transfer the bees to the new hive.
Anyone have an idea how I can do this?
Thanks and I appreciate your help.

a very nice Apartment, lots of Space. funktionel with dishwasher and microwawe.
only one thing to mention, no possible way to select different heat ind different rooms. Couldt have been nice to have more heat ind livingroom than ind sleeping room. But all in all, the most fantastisk place to live in Budapest. close to everything Down town and metro. Very queit in night, peacefull and we had a lovely holyday.
It's a very central Apartment. It was very clean and I would come back! Thank you very much for everything. A very nice City and the perfect place to be.
Really very good cozy apartertment! Very pleasant owner) walk to parlament - nerly 10 minutes. Many good, not expensive cafe near.
We really enjoyed our stay in Budapest. The apartment was very clean and overal decent. If you contact the host, there's almost instantly a response. Things like late check out or leaving your bags before you fly home are optional. In our case free off charge. Don't forget to ask too prevent dissapointment. Location is very nearby the subway and you can walk too plenty off site seeing places.
We had a really really nice stay. It was everything what we hoped for and much more. Very nice view and right in the middle of the center. Thank you Béla
A beautiful quiet and safe apartment in the center of Budapest.
It is a top recommendation.
Have often lived there. Siegfried
We loved the flat, we had a faboulous time! Highly recommended
We are very glad of our stay in Budapest. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable fully equiped with everything you need and what is the most important with great location in the city of Budapest. We can recommend it to everyone.
Great apartment. Clean and comfortable and with all the necessaries such as fridge, cooker, shower, TV, wireless internet, etc.
The great thing about this apartment is its location. On the Pest side of the river close to shops, restaurants and ruin pubs. Within a few hundred yards of the Opera House and Opera metro station. Another three metro stations are within walking distance. The Budapest "hop on hop off bus" stops just outside the Opera House.
It is just off the lovely Andrassy Avenue and central for most of Budapest's attractions.
I would recommend the apartment to friends and would stay here again when visiting Budapest.
I stayed at this apartment with a friend of mine for 2 nights on the 18th of July to the 20th, its a home away from home, the apaetment has everything you'll ever need. Its right in the city centre just walking distance to everything almost. Best accomodation ever! I will be sure to come back soon and for a longer stay this time! Was unable to meet Bianka but met a nice gentleman called Mikey and he was very informative.

A city of docks and crimson brick boutiques, Annapolis has all the fresh seafood and nautical shops you'd expect of its Chesapeake Bay location.

Maybe our central bankers have figured out that low rates are what is holding back lending and hiring and growth.
Watch the FFR. When it begins rising the economy will improve.
General Pershing drove into Tokyo Bay
Instead of going at all of your post I'll just focus on this point, because this really is everything. Japan wouldn't have attacked the US in WW2 if we didn't cut their oil lines, Japan wouldn't have had to pick between the Arab world and the western world in '73 if they had oil, and Japan wouldn't have had to latch itself onto the western world for exports if they had oil.
If you have natural resources your options are more broad because you can sustain your country, if you don't you don't and you have to find different ways to stimulate exports simply to buy natural resources. The availability of domestic resources has driven every move by Japan ever since Commodore Perry steamed into Tokyo Bay in 1853, and saying the differences in the availability of natural reasources isn't a big difference is just flat out not correct. That's like saying availability of warm water ports isn't a big difference between the US and Russia.
During the Edo period, Osaka was the main economic center of Japan. The fundamental economic structure of the Tokugawa government was organized on the rice standard, a taxation system based on the rice productivity of an area. Under this system, all tax income from farmers was paid in actual rice. Consequently, the Tokugawa government and Han (local governments of a feudal clan) established official rice warehouses to cash their rice-based tax income in Osaka. From the middle of the 16th century, Osaka developed into a huge commercial hub in Japan, and consequently, major north or south bound trading ships called at Osaka from all over the country. As a result of this economic infrastructure, the rice exchange system came into being and boosted the commodity and financial business in Osaka. The Tokugawa government and Han had to repatriate the funds or necessary commodities to Edo or their local territory, and then exchange houses came into existence, especially in Osaka and Edo.
... Therefore, the major financial purveyors to the Tokugawa government (termed the "Ten Majors", or "Jyunin-Ryogae") were mainly Osaka merchants. They diversified their businesses from rice trading into finance, and were appointed to the position of the "Ten Majors" by the Osaka City Magistrate. With this authorization, the "Ten Majors" established a guild ("Kabu-Nakama") and handled government related remittances, lending, money market quotations and so on. Edo became a major economic center in eastern Japan, but until the Meiji period it has only a passive role secondary to Osaka.
After the Meiji restoration in 1868, Edo was renamed "Tokyo" and become the only capital city of Japan. Under the new government and new economic framework, Japan modernized its domestic financial system. The new government introduced a modern currency system (the "New Currency Ordinance" of 1871), a modern banking system (the "National Banking Ordinance" of 1872), land tax reform (1873), a stock exchange (the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Stock Exchange were established in 1878) and a central bank (the Bank of Japan was established in 1882 and monopolized the issue of banknotes).
These reforms encouraged the formation of modern banks in Tokyo because the close relationship with central government was an important factor to running a large-scale financial business under the nation-state system. ... Mitsui diversified their business under the name of "Echigoya" (Echigoya was the biggest dealer in kimono fabric in Edo) from the Edo period and they had already opened a financial division ("Echigoya-Mitsui Exchange House") in 1683. This exchange house handled official funds from the Tokugawa government and the new Meiji government, and issued the first yen currency note in 1871. ...
He thinks the increase of rates will lead to improved economic health. You think improvement will be what causes the rate to increase.
Commodore Perry steamed
In any case, if Chairman Bernanke is to be believed there won't be any significant rate increase until unemployment drops to 6.5%.
When you consider the numbers of people on disability being excluded from work force numbers, then we could reach 6.5% sooner than anyone expects.
How do you weaken the yen?
- Print money
- Lower interest rates or keep them at 0
This is all ZIRP is.
we could reach 6.5% sooner than anyone expects
You seem to be arguing the opposite--that somehow Japan stuck with ZIRP over the last two decades as a means for pursuing a weak yen policy. Regarding that hypothesis, I just don't think the facts bear that out
That's why I made the argument for why there are certain political constituencies in Japan, due to its terrible demographics, who are essentially lobbying for policies that keep the yen strong, even when this is killing the country.
having your cake and shitting on it too
When you raise rates and print they will essentially cancel each other's effects out, certeris paribus.
We will see very quickly if they are doomed in ZIRP world no matter how aggressive their policy is.
This is just what I want. This is why I advocate "crazy" ideas like having the Treasury department cut taxes and make up the difference by having the federal government print money to itself. I'd like to think Bernanke is on the ball here, but if he were really avoiding the Japanese trap by going "all in" and doing more printing, then shouldn't we have expected more inflation to have materialized by now? Just saying.
I mean, asset prices and employment figures had more or less bottomed in the winter of '09-'10, and yet here we are, three years later, with ever more ZIRP and printing, inflated asset prices, and yet no economic traction or CPI inflation. It's worrying.
I keep hoping that we see some consumer price inflation in the U.S. (hence the inflation watch thread), so we can get off ZIRP sooner rather than later
I'm skeptical of the ability of the Fed to "print" very much (at least in a meaningful way that significantly affects consumer price levels) that doesn't rely on interest rate or reserve ratio policy. Sure, the Fed can buy a bunch of MBS, but that just seems to inflate assets without having much of an effect on CPI or employment.
And you can blame this on fiscal and regulatory policy all you want, and you would be right to do so, but at some point the monetary policy starts to make it harder to exit bad fiscal policy, and starts becoming a source of economic deterioration in and of itself. In fact, there's no doubt that this occurs; it's just a question of to what extent it occurs, and whether or not it's dominated by expansionary counter-effects. Then of course there's the additional issue raised by Mr. Kessler, that all of this current policy must necessarily come at a price that must in some way be paid further down the road.

Habibi Shriners entertain the crowd at a past Harvest Festival. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Thursday, November 15, 2012 7:27 PM
By Jordan Gribble / Special to the American Press
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and with it will come the end of the fall season.
Soon the red and orange leaves blanketing the city will be replaced by a cold snap the area has come to learn is the signal of the winter season.
Before that happens, however, residents of Moss Bluff and the surrounding area will have one last chance to enjoy the cool weather of autumn during the Moss Bluff Harvest Festival.
The festival will run today-Saturday, Nov. 15-17, at the Moss Bluff Recreation Complex off Park Road. Tickets are $2.
"The people of Moss Bluff want to stay a tight-knit community, no matter how big we get. Everybody knows everybody here, and this is an opportunity for all of Moss Bluff to get together and meet everyone out here and feel like a family," said Michelle McInnis, a festival board member.
"It's a festival that brings the community together with carnival rides, pageants and other activities such as a magic show. It's really all about community and family fun."
The festival will be open 5-9 p.m. Thursday. After an opening prayer at the Cameron Communications Main Stage, carnival rides and vendors will open at 5 p.m. and a Queen's Pageant will be at 7 p.m.
Festivities will run 5-9 p.m. Friday, with the Prince and Princess Pageant for special-needs children at 6:30 p.m.
Carnival rides will open at 10 a.m. Saturday, and magician Bart Glatt will perform at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Other activities will include storytime with the Moss Bluff Library at noon; the Christine Bailey State Farm Gumbo Cook-Off at noon; a pet show at 1 p.m.; and the presentation of the pageant queens at 3 p.m.


text: What are you finding is the best methood of feeding sugar syrup? I have tried the black plastic "tanks" that replace a frame and they seem to just fill up with dead bees. Its often too cold to use the front entrance feeders that use a quart jar with pin holes in the cover.The upside down pails seem to run right thru better than half the time. I have been using top feeder boxes but sometimes they leak thru or they fill up with dead bees or the bees just dont want to go into them. I need to get some more feeders just wondering what you guys are having success with.
