text: My 18 year brother is currently being treated with apitherapy in Israel which is reducing the swelling in his brain from a brain stem tumor. He would like to go to a summer camp in the catskills for 2 weeks July 17- Aug 1- we are desperate for someone to sting him 5 times a week- as he is doing now, otherwise he cannot go to camp. This year has been extremely difficult for him, and I am having a very hard time trying to coordinate this, so he can have some fun and forget his illness. If anyone can help me with information, I would greatly appreciate it. In addition, I would love for him to come visit my family in Chicago, if I could find someone here as well. Thank you.

RIC Alum Anne Murphy, Arts Advocate, Dies
Anne Murphy, a 1959 Rhode Island College graduate who was one of the nation's leading advocates of the arts and humanities, died earlier this month at her home in Washington, D.C. She was 74.
Murphy, who received an honorary Doctorate of Humanities Degree from RIC in 2009, was best known for her work as executive director of the American Arts Alliance. Now known as the Performing Arts Alliance, it is a consortium of hundreds of theater, dance and opera companies, as well as orchestras and museums. She led the alliance for 13 years.
She had been a tireless advocate for the arts, dating back to the 1960s when she helped draft legislation that created the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Murphy later worked for the NEA and the Public Broadcasting Service to develop public policy on federal funding of the arts.
Most recently, she was an adviser to the National Center for Research in Advanced Information and Digital Technologies, also known as the Digital Promise. She served as director and co-chair of the nonprofit organization, which was created by Congress in 1999 to promote research into the use of digital technologies to improve learning and education to help Americans compete in the global economy.
"We are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Anne Murphy, a true friend of Rhode Island College and the entire arts community," said Rhode Island College President Nancy Carriuolo. "She leaves behind a tremendous legacy, for which we are tremendously grateful."
Murphy, a native of Providence, has said that she was fortunate to have found her passion in life during her years at Rhode Island College. Her class was the first to graduate from RIC's Mount Pleasant campus, and she was a volunteer during President Kennedy's 1960 campaign. After graduating, she worked as an elementary school teacher in Rhode Island before moving to Washington to work for former Rhode Island Congressmen John Fogarty and Robert Tiernan.
When she returned to RIC in 2009, she made college history by being the first member of a golden anniversary class to be chosen as a commencement speaker. In her commencement address, Murphy emphasized the importance of free speech. She said, "Learning how to think and the freedom to think are what you take with you as you leave this campus. These are the passports to a world of untold opportunity."

Online application portal: http://grants.fieldmuseum.org/. Please refer to the tutorial at the bottom of the page to help you through the online application process. The submission deadline is December 1, 2013.
Program Description
The SPCME program encourages site preservation, artifact restoration, museum exhibitions, and infrastructural enhancement, including the development of on-line digital catalogues of museum collections. This program funds projects that concern archaeological sites and museum collections in Bulgaria that have suffered from long periods of neglect and are in dire need of restoration. We welcome proposals that stimulate the development of cultural tourism and the Bulgarian economy and encourage proposals that have strong community outreach, educational and innovative components. This grant is financed by the America for Bulgaria Foundation.
Requests for funding must be in US dollars and should not, under normal circumstances, exceed $50,000 for one year. It is possible to reapply for this funding in subsequent years. ARCS requires cost-sharing on the part of the local institution, which can be raised through municipality and state budgets, regional development programs, local donations, or in-kind support. The amount of cost-sharing is negotiable, but proposals for which at least 10% of the cost is borne by the applicant's home institution have a higher chance of being funded. This program does not provide funds to support research expenses incurred before the date of a grant, or general activities of other institutions or entities, including "overhead expenses" or "indirect costs."
Eligibility Requirements
At the time of application submission, applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- The Bulgarian applicant must have a master's or doctoral degree.
- The Bulgarian applicant must hold a permanent position in a Bulgarian research institute, museum, or university
Applications should be made through an institution to which the grant can be awarded, and which will assume financial oversight of the award. Applicants may submit more than one application per funding season.
Reporting Requirements
Acceptance of funding carries an obligation to provide reports on project accomplishments, as well as an account of the expenditure of grant funds. No renewal applications will be accepted for review without the inclusion of progress and financial reports. ARCS requires monthly reports of spending for all projects awarded funding and quarterly narrative reports on the progress of the project. The Bulgarian institution receiving the funds will be responsible for financial oversight and monthly reports. The staff of ARCS will act as the American institution responsible for the oversight of spending. All projects funded through this program are required to acknowledge ARCS and ABF in presentations and publications that derive from the research.


text: I harvested my honey late August from 3 different hives. It was a clearer honey than last year and has a marvelous flavor. I think more white clover and black locust than last year. Over the past several weeks it has started to thicken quicker than I would expect and some minor crystallization. Flavor is still excellent. I am assuming it was a little too wet yet and now will progressively crystallize through the next months. Does this mean I took it off too early? I did not use a hydrometer, although a friend has one which I may need to use in the future. I would like to avoid this mistake in the future. Thanks for suggestions.

16 homes without water after a house fire in Cimarron Hills
Officials repair water main break while investigators question cause of fire
COLORADO SPRINGS - Around sixteen homes were without water Thursday morning on Hathaway Drive in Cimarron Hills after a water main broke.
The Cherokee Metropolitan Water District worked to fix the issue throughout the morning, and restored water to residents just before noon Thursday.
The houses impacted by the outage are near a severely burned house that erupted into flames last night.
Firefighters arrived at the house to take out the raging fire that sparked in the back of the house. The fire then made its way inside and burned part of the home's interior.
After the flames were out, firefighters reported significant damage to the back deck, the back side of the house and the attic.
As of Thursday morning, firefighters were investigating what caused the flames to erupt so quickly.
"When a fire advances this quickly at a detectable time period like (seven pm) it makes us really start to investigate how did a fire get so large in that circumstance," said Fire Chief Matt Love of the Cimarron Hills Fire Department.
According to Love, the extent of the fire damage is going to cause the investigation process into the origin of the fire to take longer. The investigation is being conducted by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
It is unclear if the fire caused the water main break.
We will bring you continuous updates as the investigation progresses.

Missing playoffs again... Seeing how bad this offense is... Most fans will just live in the past and brag about the 2 Super Bowls... This team with this staff over the years has been average... I want the team to be successful now & in the future, something to talk about now & later on, but i'm not seeing it... I'm going to continue to root for this team, I just hope to see staff changes... I would call out players, but its wrong to bash certain players... Keeping it real isn't always the best medicine around here...

I agree with GameTime
Of course we are all bummed for the team and that it needs changes. But the season gets played eiither way and like you I will continue to root for my team...
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"

The argument has validity with the exception of the last statement. We've won 2 SB in the last 7 years. You and many posters on this board have expected greatness out of a core of players that just simply are/were not great. The 2 SB wins leads to these expectations now, but the reality is we were not expected to win the SB either year. We have only had one year in the past 7 years that we were truly dominant (2008). In the salary cap era I think this is about as good as it gets.
Because of all of the effort and examination being poured into these predictions, the draft is a robust market that, in the aggregate, does a good job of sorting prospects from top to bottom.1 Yet despite so many people trying to beat the market, no single actor can do it consistently. Abnormal returns are likely due to luck, not skill. But that hasnt stopped NFL executives from behaving with the confidence of traders.
I agree with OP. Reese, Coughlin and company continue to make 2007 and 2011 look like flukes.
What I meant about laughing stock is, even if we started 6-0 or 7-0 the rest of the league wouldn't respect THAT because they know these clowns would normally start fast then shtt the bed towards the end, what other team has this bipolar nonsense every year if it aint that its a million injuries same doctors same training staff same goofy injuries same thing year in and year out...same type of players PROJECTS Marvin Austin's a (wasted pick) Jernigan (why is he here again) im so sick of looking at the side lines and seeing players on the roster "JUST BECAUSE" at least give Jernigan a package like a bubble screen...BUT YOU CANT BECAUSE ELI CANT STICK THAT TYPE OF THROW, but he sure can chuck&duck it with the best, the short game is nonexistent take the big plays away because they cant play short ball, the league knows the route trees, there's constant confusion between Elite and his wideouts...again this is the time of year where they start to fizzle out anyways 8th week? Heading into November? So as now they're gonna win 3 out of the next 5 because this is their normal trend historically anyways

Journalists under physical assault in Egypt
New York, February 2, 2011--Supporters of President Hosni Mubarak have begun violently attacking journalists reporting on the streets of Cairo today, a shift in tactics from recent media censorship, the Committee to Protect Journalists said. CPJ calls on the Egyptian military to provide protection for journalists.
"The Egyptian government is employing a strategy of eliminating witnesses to their actions," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "The government has resorted to blanket censorship, intimidation, and today a series of deliberate attacks on journalists carried out by pro-government mobs. The situation is frightening not only because our colleagues are suffering abuse but because when the press is kept from reporting, we lose an independent source of crucial information."


text: Eeeey guys :great: I have been seeing some people with different color Halo Projectors (Green, Red, Blue) in my town. I think it looks pretty cool and wanted to get the green for my my truck but I don't know where or how they did it. I googled and forum searched and came up with nothing. Do you guys know how or where to get these projectors? Are they regular projectors (anzo, spider, recon) with different color led's (mod?)? Are they just led's wrapped around the light? I have no idea. Thanks. Fonz

Where I stayed
The final reservations are being made. Last night I was able to book what looks to be a very nice hotel on Hotwire.com. It is the Radisson LAX. Here is it web site:
I got it for a little more than half its normal price off of Hotwire, plus I saved some money over the Best Western I had originally booked in Sherman Oaks, Ca. This is the 3rd hotel switch I have made in the LA area. It will also be the last since I had to pay Hotwire up front. They say the 3rd time is the charm. They also say 3 strikes and you're out. Eternal optimist that I am you can guess which way I am leaning.
From LA we head to San Diego. We have a reservation in at a Days Inn, but I am hoping to upgrade and save money at the samt time. I am checking Price Line and Hotwire daily to see if I can get lucky. Sarah is really looking forward to the San Diego Zoo. She wants to go to the Australia portion of the zoo.
Our next stop is Sedona, Az. A friend from work has a sister who is a concierge at a hotel out there. She mailed a bunch of stuff to us. Boy does that place look cool. I am really looking forward to that part of the trip. We will be staying at a place called the Kings Ransome.
From Sedona we head to the Grand Canyon for a few days. We are staying a half mile from the rim on the South side at the Yavapia Lodge. We have a bus tour scheduled for Sunday afternoon that should be alot of fun.
After a couple of days at the Grand Canyon it is off to Las Vegas for the last couple days of the vacation where we stay at New York, New York. I am not sure what we are going to do there, but it is Las Vegas, I am sure we can find something.

Welcome. The 9 is slightly cheaper to shoot. A 22 conversion makes your pistol very cheap to shoot. Get the Glock it has so much more aftermarket stuff for it and conversions it's hard to even find all of them. Don't worry about it holding it's value you should just try to shoot it enough to wear it out which is very hard with a Glock that's why they dominate competitions. As for reaching proficiency quicker there is no way to get there except by hard work and proper practice. The answer to your last question is don't even bother to try to "learn" everything about guns you'll only be pegged as a "poser". It's best to act dead ignorant, bordering on stupid and people will be more likely to help you along. Get some one on one training if you can and stay teachable. Todd Jarrett's videos are good ones to start with.

Saint Joseph's College, named a "character-building college" by the Templeton Foundation and a "Best Midwestern College" by the Princeton Review, is a four-year, Catholic college offering 26 majors, 4 group majors, 32 minors, and 10 pre-professional programs, complemented by the nationally acclaimed Core Program. SJC also offers three master's degree programs.
Founded and sponsored by the Missionaries of the Precious Blood, SJC is located in Rensselaer, Indiana, approximately 90 minutes from both Chicago and Indianapolis, on a park-like campus of 180 acres and has an enrollment of nearly 1,200 students.
Saint Joseph's College is the only college with the Core Program, the heart of the SJC curriculum. At other colleges, students are required to take a number of courses in different areas to fulfill their general education requirements. This often takes place during the first year or two of the student's college experience. However, at SJC these required general education courses are evenly spread out through a student's four years at the College. This means that you get the benefit of beginning study of your major in your first year of college.
For our students who have declared a major, this gives the benefit of four years of study in the major as well as four years of general education. Students learn from students of other majors, and writing and other communication skills are developed throughout the four years of the college experience.
As a Catholic college in the tradition of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood, we are stewards of our Catholic tradition and our unique C.PP.S. heritage. Our mission defines our roots, our ways of proceeding, and the outcomes we strive to achieve.
At SJC, students are welcome to become involved in Campus Ministry in whichever ways they choose. From serving as a liturgical minister at Mass to volunteering for trips to local food pantries and soup kitchens, students have every opportunity to find their place in Campus Ministry at SJC.
Get a jump start on your career and have your resume ready to go at graduation.
Small colleges offer you personal attention; SJC professors do more for you—they serve as mentors.
The Core Program is all about you and your role in the world.
You get more deeply involved at SJC, so you get more meaningful experiences that prepare you for career and life.
Get real-life experience and become an excellent communicator.

Auckland Transport's parking wardens are enjoying views of Takapuna Beach from the upstairs balcony of a building which was gifted by North Shore citizens for a public library.
Devonport-Takapuna Local Board member Joseph Bergin, who revealed the wardens' occupation of the former library building at a board meeting last week, said it was a criminal waste of a rare site.
"This is a spectacular building and has the only balcony with sea views in Takapuna, with all-day sunlight," he told the Herald.
"Parking enforcement have exclusive use of it and views which local cafes - and anyone - would die to have. It's almost criminal really."
Mr Bergin was concerned that although other types of council workers had been moved to the Smales Farm business park near the Northern Motorway, parking enforcement officers had stayed on.
Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan confirmed 18 wardens used some of level one as a "drop-in point" while spending most of their day out on the streets.
Auckland Council rating records show the 664sq m property's capital value was $1.65 million in July 2011.
Board member and former North Shore deputy mayor Dianne Hale said the Shore Exhibition Centre proposal sought a three-year lease of the building and planned to convert it into a museum-standard public gallery. That could be at least two years away.

Budget Crisis = "Police State" Activity
Original post made by Falsely Accused Victim, Danville, on Jun 30, 2009
I am in fact a victim of such recent police behavior and part of the strategy is falsely enhance and misquote the facts in order to serve the needs of law enforcement. And I am not the only victim here, there are countless others I have spoke to in the community that have their own story to tell of unfair and unethical treatment.
I thought law enforcement officials could be trusted to provide fair and equitable treatment for all, and a budget crisis is not a reason to violate people's basic rights afforded under the Constitution.
I have become very disappointed and disheartened in the system, and am fighting to awaken our community to realize whats been going on here.

Dear Dolores,
I quite felt the pain of this forum's author because I have been the victim of Danville Police during one of their border raids into Alamo. I can understand that Danville Police must concentrate on Danville victims because that is where they are allowed share of the profits from citations and other criminal fees.
It should be very appropriate for the Danville Police Chief to answer this forum with commitment to fair and reasonable actions by his force. I would further suggest Candace Andersen, as a lawyer, explain Danville's commitment to fair law enforcement for the town's citizens.
Then, Alamo can expect more border raids to fill the time of the Danville Police and district 3 as such raids' sponsors.

This is not meant as a personal attack but rather an honest suggestion. You really should consider finding another hobby which could include getting outside a little more or volunteering some of your time.
It really is not conducive for you to turn this domain into your personal playground. Perhaps it is time for you to start your own?
Appears to me, the original poster was trying to actually make a point. But once again you had to come along and rain on the post with your off-color commentary.
As I have said before it is your opinion and you are entitled to it. However, just because you can, doesn't always mean you should.

Regarding the post by Falsely Accused Victim, I, too, have heard of and observed the behavior ascribed to our "wonderful" police force and described in his commentary.
Regardless of the reason, i.e. budget cuts, bored police officers who feel a need to justify their positions, etc., while this may or may not enhance the city's coffers and may or may not enhance the police department's job security, in the long run it will not enhance the business climate in Danville. Danville's economy is largely dependent upon restaurants and bars, and there is no shortage of these throughout the Bay Area. I, for one, and many that I know, no longer patronize establishments in Danville for fear of being subjected to the treatment described above by falsely accused victim.
Mr. Mayor and Chamber of Commerce, please take note.

Movers think outside box, go DIY in paper-to-tech switch
Problem to be solved: It was understandable that a family-run business of 85 years had gotten a little stuck in its ways.
But about eight years ago, the time had come for Corrigan Moving and Storage Co. to get with the times when it came to technology.
It wasn't unusual for moving companies and their warehouse workers to rely on pen and paper and spreadsheets for the day-in, day-out work of managing inventory, and that's how Corrigan did it.
"It was not competitive. Customers were coming to us and asking for online visibility, bar-coding, scanning," said Nathan Corrigan, the company's vice president.
He delved into the task of getting a software system, first by checking out off-the-shelf products. He wasn't impressed.
"I found many that solved one little problem," Corrigan said. "As long as you could fit your business into their little box, it worked perfectly fine."
Solution: "We built it ourselves," Corrigan said.
He researched systems and customer needs and cobbled together a team of one former employee and a contractor to do the technical work, building the system using outside software and in-house customization. A year later the company's Warehouse Management System deployed.
The total cost — including the money paid to outside developers in the first go-around — was $250,000.
Truck drivers now are connected to the system through iPads, items coming into the warehouses are bar-coded and scanned, and customers can go to run reports and an online portal to see the products they have stored in Corrigan's warehouses.
"This product Nathan developed allowed us to get into what we call today logistics," said David Corrigan, the company's president and COO and Nathan's father.
That viewing ability opened doors to new customers — such as interior design companies that need to see what they have in the way of furniture and decorative pieces so they can plan for a new job, or universities that keep their office computer inventory off-site but need to see it when planning changes.
Risks and considerations: If a software firm couldn't do it, why would a moving company be any better at it? "There's a real chance you're not going to be able to pull it off," Nathan Corrigan said.
If it hadn't worked, Corrigan Moving and Storage would have wasted a year and a lot of money — and still not have what customers wanted.
Expert opinion: Arcadio Ramirez, a technology business consultant for the Michigan Small Business Development Center, said companies should carefully consider the decision to build a system in-house because once they build it, it's on them to maintain it, and they might end up with a clunky system.
"A lot of home-brewed solutions don't have the flexibility or breadth as what's on the market," Ramirez said.
But if a business decides to go for it, one thing it can do is to carefully write out exactly what is the business process in question, step by step, so developers don't end up spinning their wheels.
Said Ramirez: "Understanding your processes, putting them down on paper, knowing precisely what they are will be a big help for whoever is writing that software."

Main Line Moms are overattentive, overinvolved, pampered, prissy JAP-spawning machines. They'll fight tooth and nail for their kids to get undeserved As and not just because they do all their school projects for them. They hire tutors for $80/hour when their kids get an A-, shuttle their kids and their lacrosse equipment and golden retrievers around in their Landrovers, and know all the gossip about their kids' classmates before they do. Main Line moms peak at college admissions and Bar/Bat Mitzvah seasons. They tread the line between passive-aggressive and aggressive-aggressive and if you're skeptical, try Nordstrom Petites during the semi-annual sale or getting a parking spot in Suburban Square. They adore gays but they lock their car doors when they see a black person. A true Main Line Mom keeps an immaculate home and garden, but only because of the coterie of immigrant gardeners, house-cleaners, and babysitters they employ. Main Line moms know that they deserve the world and so do their kids. And they won't let you forget it.

The typical main line mom is the one who stays home and drives a big car so she can shuttle all her kids and their friends around. They usually have around 5 to 7 kids. During the day they go to the mall to blow their husbands money and chat with their friends on their blackberrys, but at night they go into homework mode and do all their kids homework for them so they can be the best. Every weekend they go to a party and get a local villa nova student to watch their kids while they go get wasted. During the summer they vacation at their house in avalon, new jersey or go to their country clubs and sit under the cabanas with the other main line moms and gossip. Typically a main line mom will raise their kids everything they want. Many main line moms are referred to as milfs.

K-1's Cryptic Message about WAKO
- Written by Dave Walsh
We all want K-1 to succeed, which can sometimes be a very frustrating thing, because it feels like there are forces at work that want K-1 to be utterly frustrating and on the verge of failure at every given turn. The latest turn of events comes with a public message from Mike Kim in regards to the partnership that was forged with WAKO, the amateur Kickboxing governing body. Apparently somebody from within the WAKO organization was acting as an agent of K-1 or pretending to be, which has upset K-1 enough to release this odd statement. This is really making us wonder about that recent partnership that K-1 forged with SuperKombat and WAKO.
We're as confused as you are.

More Cupping in Rwanda and the King's Hut
Paul Songer has the process for this project mapped out really well. He also has an excellent awareness of statistical data. Seven primary coffee growing regions in Rwanda had been identified as potential appellations. Last year, the panel, with deep experience in this sort of cupping (descriptive cupping that is) narrowed this down to three by cupping each numerous times over the year and coming to the conclusion there are three three primary character differences. Our goal over the past couple of weeks has been to cup the three regions and begin to identify the primary characters of each. The process is simple and less specific than one would think, but it is critical all the data is collected properly and consistently from test to test.
Rwanda is an amazing country, with even more amazing people. I learned the other day that it was not ok to look at the King's hut without paying 200 francs. Well it was 200 to take a picture too, so I paid up the 400 and took the picture, which is attached.
Gotta run, dinner is on!

BORN IN AFRICA: The Quest for the Origins of Human Life. Martin Meredith. xxiv + 230 pp. Public Affairs, 2011. $26.99.
THE FOSSIL CHRONICLES: How Two Controversial Discoveries Changed Our View of Human Evolution. Dean Falk. xiv + 259 pp. University of California Press, 2011. $34.95.
Born in Africa, by Martin Meredith, and The Fossil Chronicles, by Dean Falk, are two very different books. Meredith is a journalist and historian, and his book examines the history of human evolutionary studies, primarily in Africa, providing a comprehensive overview of the conflicts between different researchers, different points of view and, sometimes, different evidence, mainly from the 1920s to the present. Falk is a scientist who has contributed significantly to the study of the evolution of the human brain, and she has been directly involved in some of those controversies. Her book—in contrast to Meredith's, which explores numerous events in the history of paleoanthropology—focuses primarily on just two discoveries.
Despite their differences, Born in Africa and The Fossil Chronicles do overlap in subject matter and have similar themes. Both focus on controversies regarding which early hominin species (human ancestors) are like apes and which are like humans. And both discuss one of the earliest conflicts of this sort, the one between Raymond Dart (a colorful and controversial Australian based in South Africa) and members of the English scientific establishment, who disagreed over how to interpret a single fossil—the juvenile Australopithecine known as Taung. Early in the 20th century, Dart (the original describer of Taung) and Sir Arthur Keith (sponsor of the famous forged Piltdown fossil) were the Moon and the Sun of paleoanthropology and exerted a gravitational influence over the tides of hominin fossil interpretation. Falk is well known for her research on the brains of early Australopithecines, work that has centered on the Taung fossil. Her interpretations of this early find address the conflict between Dart and Keith, and in The Fossil Chronicles she spends several chapters discussing Dart's research. But the bulk of the book consists of Falk's assessment of various interpretations of the recently discovered, diminutive "Hobbit," a hominin fossil found in 2003 on Flores Island in Indonesia. It was so unexpected a find that an old theme in human evolutionary studies soon resurfaced to explain it: Hobbit is so odd, some believe, that it must be a mutant or an abnormal form that can be explained by disease or dysfunction.
As a researcher in this field, I thoroughly enjoyed Meredith's book. I had the opportunity to examine the original Taung fossil under the knowledgeable and entertaining guidance of Philip Tobias, who today holds the position originally held by Raymond Dart at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. The story of the Taung child—its discovery, its anatomy and the controversy surrounding it—is central to the human evolutionary story that Meredith is telling. Taung was brought to Dart's attention and reported by him in the 1920s, when the British Piltdown fossils, now known to be forgeries, held sway as the archetype of our early human ancestors. There was a concept in the early 20th century of what a human ancestor would look like—it would have a large, humanlike brain, apelike teeth and an in-between body. And lo and behold, in 1912 a "fossil" fitting this description was found at Piltdown in southern England and was immediately established as physical dogma, despite the presence of what we now regard as obvious indicators that it was fake.
Taung's brain and teeth were more apelike than those of "Piltdown Man," but Taung's body was more humanlike in that it was apparently configured for upright walking, and it could also be regarded as somewhat humanlike in other details. But Britain was a center of anthropology at the time and already had a very nice human ancestor, thank you very much. So for many years Dart's work was variously sidelined, ignored and even ridiculed. It finally began to gain acceptance in the late 1940s after the discovery by Robert Broom of other Australopithecine fossils in South Africa, and in 1953, when Piltdown Man was revealed to be a hoax, Dart was further vindicated. These things happened just in time for two major events to occur: The study of human origins was decentralized, so that other people could play too, including the South Africans, the French and even the Americans; and anthropologists began discovering what would eventually be regarded as key fossils in Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia.
Born in Africa takes us through the days of Mary and Louis Leakey, and their real and intellectual heirs, Richard and Mauve Leakey; the discoveries of the Berkeley group, the most famous members of which were Donald Johanson (one of the discoverers of the Australopithecine hominin "Lucy") and Tim White (who also worked on Lucy); and the work of increasingly internationalized and interdisciplinary teams of researchers addressing finer and finer questions about human evolution. Meredith's account of all this is rich in detail. I thought I had already heard all of the scuttlebutt, but he has a few tidbits that were new to me. Most of the "interesting moments" I know about that he leaves out have more to do with the archaeological research than the fossil research.
And that brings me to the one minor criticism I'd like to make of Born in Africa. Meredith brings in the archaeological research related to human origins fairly late in his account, but it was important early on. For example, as artifacts cropped up both in Africa and in Europe, an entire pre-Oldowan time period, the Kafuan, was postulated that we now know never existed (what were initially thought to be Kafuan tools are now believed to be just rocks that had flaked naturally). And the question of which stone tools were associated with which specific hominins was argued about almost as much as some of the key questions about the fossils themselves.
The book's take-home message is that personality conflicts, competing national interests, and competition over access to resources are more interesting than the story of human evolution itself, which has little flesh on it. It's easy to feel the joys and heartaches of the actors in the drama; we empathize with the underdogs and are annoyed at the coyotes. Meredith does tell the human evolutionary story—but as a comedian once said of baby races, the real reason you are interested is to see the crashes.
Back when I was a graduate student in anthropology, I was asked by my adviser to absorb and comment on two sets of literature. The first had to do with the dating of strata in East Africa. Although scientists did not know it at the time, a particular layer of volcanic material was essentially undatable by the prevailing methods. Therefore, every time it was sampled in different localities, a different date was obtained, and great confusion resulted. That story is well covered by Meredith in his section on Koobi Fora.
The second set of literature was a series of papers written by Ralph Holloway and Dean Falk starting around 1981, in which they fought over the interpretation of early hominin brains as studied through endocasts—casts of the inside of an animal's braincase that produce roundish blobs resembling the exterior of the original brain. Some endocasts form naturally when the cranial cavity of a skull fills with sand that becomes packed and fossilized, but more often they are artificially produced by pouring casting material into a skull. Endocasts are of limited value, because layers of tissue in a living mammal separate the brain from the skull, attenuating detail. As Falk explains in The Fossil Chronicles, they offer a rather "superficial" view of a brain. But they are not without their uses. Endocasts of fossils are compared with endocasts made from the skulls of modern primates and humans, which in turn are understood via other forms of neuroanatomy. We can look at brain scans of primates and humans during their activities and see that a certain area of the brain is activated during the performance of a certain kind of task. If the region activated is one that is larger in humans than in monkeys and has to do with something more relevant to human behavior than to monkey behavior, then we might infer that enlargement of this region in the endocast of an extinct hominin indicates humanlike behavior, or that a lack of enlargement indicates a lack of humanlike behavior.
The academic fight between Holloway and Falk was typical of the 1980s. Falk was a woman working in a largely male field, and some people wondered whether Holloway might be trying to marginalize her for that reason. He was fond of pointing out that she was wrong in part because a lot of very smart and well-established people said things contrary to her findings. Anyone interested in a study of both gender bias and the ad hominem argument in science would do well to look at these papers.
Around this time arguments over how to distinguish what is humanlike from what is apelike were also emerging in the study of growth rates, teeth and other features of various hominin remains, and in relation to the question of how childhood evolved. The timing of growth and development in modern humans is different from that in our nearest living relatives, the nonhuman apes, and much of this has to do with the extended period of development that we call childhood. Childhood includes an extended period of neural development during which our brains take on all those humanlike characteristics that make us distinct from the other apes.
The Holloway-Falk argument was over whether the brains of Australopithecines were apelike or humanlike, and this is exactly the same argument that was central to the Taung-Piltdown comparison and to Raymond Dart's research. Falk's analysis is too nuanced and complex to be fully explained in this review; you'll need to read her book to find out how it goes. But we now think that Australopiths were mostly apelike, although not entirely so, and that unambiguous members of the genus Homo, such as Homo erectus, were mostly, but not entirely, humanlike. Falk's book would be worth reading just to get her perspective on this historically important debate.
But the most important part of The Fossil Chronicles is Falk's interpretation of the meaning of the small-brained fossil hominin known as Hobbit. Its discovery on the island of Flores in Indonesia in 2003 was one of the most important finds of the past hundred years; fragments of at least seven other similar skeletons were unearthed in the same cave, along with rather advanced stone tools and butchered and charred animal bones. This newly discovered species, Homo floresiensis, appears to have lived as other premodern hominins may have done, hunting, scavenging and gathering. Nothing like it was thought to exist: As far as we knew, there had been no small-brained bipedal apes anywhere at any time during the past 1.5 million years. But Hobbit appears to have lived between 94,000 and 12,000 years ago. The world of Homo floresiensis is a little like a quaint historical neighborhood that has been left alone by modern development because it lies off the beaten track on the edge of some large city. One wonders, given the reality of the Flores find, whether the world may once have been (partly) populated by additional species as different from the main line of human evolution as Hobbit—hominins who were displaced quickly and completely enough that we happen not to have run into them.
Falk has conducted studies of both a virtual endocast of Hobbit and an artificial one. Because the female Hobbit and the fossils found with her are so unusual, it has been suggested that their peculiarities are attributable to some disease or abnormality, such as microcephaly. The preponderance of evidence, including Falk's work, rules out all such explanations. Homo floresiensis is normal, although very different than expected, just as Taung was different than expected.
And that is how the stories told by Meredith and Falk fold into each other: The history of the study of human evolution shows that surprising findings make well-educated and otherwise rational people behave irrationally for a time, until everyone eventually settles on a new view.
Falk's discussion of Hobbit and all that that fossil implies is rich in detail and extensive. I'll end with this especially interesting if somewhat quirky finding: Falk and her team determined that the brain of Hobbit is most like that of a small Homo erectus, suggesting that either Homo floresiensis is a diminutive form of Homo erectus or the two hominins shared an early evolutionary history. Hobbit's brain has an enlargement of the region known as Brodmann's area 10. Humans have an enlarged Brodmann's area 10 as well, but Hobbit's may be even larger relative to her overall brain size. Falk makes this rather daring suggestion: If you were a small hominin living on an island populated by dragons, you'd want a large Brodmann's area 10, because it would give you both the ability to preimagine escape plans in the event of an attack and the ability to keep track of your surroundings while you are busy making stone tools or gathering plants. The world Homo floresiensis lived in was indeed inhabited by dragons, a form of monitor lizard known to us today as the Komodo dragon. These creatures, which are carnivorous, are often more than three meters long and have been known to ambush hunters. The archaeological evidence suggests that these hominins hunted, cooked and ate Komodo dragons, and the endocast evidence indirectly suggests that the dragons may have hunted the hominins as well.
I recommend both these books, and I suggest that you read them together, starting with Meredith and finishing with Falk.

By taking my browser to 192.168.0.1 I can get to a D-Link admin page.
I was wondering what the security implications of that are.
Is there a way to get a valid IP address from my ISP without modifying the router? Is there a way to help others get the real IP addresses without modifying the rouge router?
Also, I can access the internet fine from my wireless router that is plugged into the wall. Is there a reason that my wireless router is getting a good IP address and I'm not?

Help! Help! I'm in a holiday tizzy
I feel insanely overwhelmed. Don't you? I think it's a combination of things. I'm not trying to radiate bad juju. But this year, Christmas has me in a tizzy.
Now, don't get me wrong, there's so much to look forward to. But jeez- the pressure, the gifts, the travel, the deadlines, overeating and overeating and more overeating, and the list goes on. I don't know what goes on in your family over the holidays. But in mine, we eat. We eat a lot. It's actually 95 percent about the food. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating.
(Pictured above: Cousin Corrina and my mom's traditional Italian Christmas dish, "Feast of Seven Fishes")
Why do we do this to ourselves? First off, let me give you a taste of how I've started most my days these past few weeks. Maybe you can relate. I begin with some type of Hershey's Kisses chocolate candy or a buttery sugar cookie of sorts. I've basically been eating whatever I can get my paws on in the wee hours of the morning (#chubbygirlproblems). By the way, how weird was Black Friday? Was there a Black Friday? Because it seemed like Thanksgiving kind of disappeared on me. That threw me off. What? Have we really begun to sacrifice time with our families around the table to freeze in an everlasting line in front of Best Buy? All for a new TV, stereo, etc? It is what it is, right? I'll tell you another thing that all of a sudden feels a little weird this year. My mom and aunt have been hounding me for my annual Christmas list.
(Pictured above: Christmas morning 2012 with brother Stefan, me and my new sneakers)
I'm nearly 30 years old and was once again threatened until this very week for a list for Santa. Don't get me wrong. I love presents. I'm very grateful to have a family who loves to dote on us. But "Hello Anna, you ain't a little girl anymore." (By the way, mom and Paola, don't forget the perfume and the sneakers.) Speaking of presents, like clock work, my parents never tell us what they want. But all four of us siblings pull together our money to try to get them something amazing. I really want to nail it this year ("Under Pressure"- Queen/David Bowie reference).
I didn't put up a tree this year. Now, I know what you're thinking. But I never had the time. I'm okay with it. It somewhat has taken the wind out of my sails. But I end up leaving it up until March normally (Don't you judge me). And I can already tell I don't particularly want to take it down if I can't find the time to put it up. Don't tell people about this. It's kind of embarrassing.
Oh, here's another fun holiday happening. Aren't we all trying to lose weight right now? Like, RIGHT NOW. I love it when people have the casual office exchange, "Oh, I am just going to blow up this Christmas. No sense in trying at the holiday." Let's get real people. When is it a good time to start? I declare that trying to lose weight during a holiday season has 100 percent always been a no-go for this girl. Thus, the Battle of the Bulge rages on this 2013-2014 holiday season. Ho ho ho! (Wait, I wonder what's for dinner tonight?)
Amidst everything going on in my "personal" Christmas file, there are lots to be done at the TV station. We work and we work hard. I've had holiday events for the past several weekends and will continue to attend local Christmas functions until Santa and his sleigh arrive. I love getting out and meeting the people, and I can't say no. I have this thing my friends in Chicago call, "FOMO"- Fear of Missing Out. (Mandy, Turkey, that was for yous two.) So when I'm not waving in a parade, or begging you to donate to the "Share your Christmas Food Drive," I'm hosting a gala. A fabulous gala at that. A shout out to the local Home Builder's Association and local realtors for a smashing good time. Also, a "thank you" to my awesome date, Cameron.
(Pictured above: 2013 Christmas Gala, New Bern)
But then, out of nowhere, I find myself catching my breath (Sigh). "Hey Anna, it's Christmas time." Of course I know the true reason for the season. The Nativity story is front and center in this Catholic school girl's heart. But you have to admit, the added chaos is, after all, what it is all about as well. It's about making time and making others feel special. Sure we get stressed out. When our holiday engines hit overdrive, we begin to burnout a little bit. So if you're like me, I think we need to sizzle out, or as I like to say, "Simma don na." On Wednesday, my close girl friends and I made time for some holiday sangria to catch up and slow down for a minute. Here's to you ladies! Cheers.
(Pictured above: Holiday ladies' night, Bear Town Market)
Before you go bonkers trying to be perfect and make everything perfect, remember to soak in as much Christmas magic as you can. After all, it only drifts in but once a year. Play some games with your kids (I suggest Wii Bowling). Make Christmas cookies with your grandparents. Crank the best of Rod Stewart's Christmas collection. Heck, drink a hot chocolate (or a holiday sangria). Wear a pair of mittens. Light your Christmas tree at noon and glance at old family pictures.
(Pictured above: The one, the only, Mr. Rod Stewart)
Who cares if your packages aren't taped and folded perfectly? Who cares if you can't make that additional 15th side dish? It will all be fine. All I'm asking is for you to truly take time to make some everlasting holiday memories (I should probably take my own advice now).
I'll be more grateful for my health and good fortune in the days to come.
I hope you all have something extraordinary to celebrate this Christmas. If not, find something. There's always something there when you look hard enough.
Well, now that we've had this talk, take a load off, Fanny, and allow the Christmas spirit to make you feel like a kid all over again.
Best to you and your to-do's,
Anna B (Ho ho ho!)

One-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy in Southwest Va.
RUSSELL CO., Va. - One year ago Tuesday, Superstorm Sandy marched up the east coast paralyzing the Northeast, but the remnants of the storms were felt right here in our area.
"It started to snow here very lightly and then it got heavy," said Bonnie Francisco of Lebanon, Va.
Francisco still remembers looking out of her downtown Lebanon store window on the afternoon of Monday October 29, 2012. "We had a big snow," said Francisco.
That snow was from the southern part of Superstorm Sandy.
Russell County, along with other counties in Southwest Virginia, took the brunt of the storm. On that day the Virginia State Police received more than 600 calls from southwest Virginia; 67 of them were crashes.
Appalachian Power reported that 13,000 people in our area had lost power by 6 p.m. 2,700 of those customers were in Russell County alone.
Russell County Emergency Management coordinator Jess Powers told News 5 some of those people ended up at the EMA center. "We had about 58 people here," said Jess Powers.
It was a lot of people for an unanticipated and widespread event, but this year they are ready for whatever comes their way.
Powers took us back to the storage room where they have cots and clothes, because they know that winter is on the way and they don't want to be caught by surprise.
He tells News 5 that they even prepared for specific health needs of their residents. "When the power goes out a lot of people in this area are mining or they have COPD, they have some kind of chronic pulmonary problem and they need supplied oxygen. We have supplied oxygen here in stored takes already ready to go," said Powers.
Even though the sun is shining today, Francisco is ready for whatever happens tomorrow, while always remembering last year. "I'll never forget this," she said.

It's hard to say what my favorite part of this is...But I must say I really like the subtle background with the seaweed and fish. And the octopus itself is quite fantastic. I shall be most happy to make this my first cream-colored shirt (even though there are those opposed to that color, it really is the best choice for this design).

Where I stayed
Hacienda Pozo Azul Tent Suites
What I did
Hacienda Pozo Azul
Clare, my roommate, and I both got up earlier than the alarm for our late morning. Had breakfast, packed up, took my bag to the lobby and worked on a few more photos before leaving.
We have a bus with driver Manual, who will be with us until Cano Negro near the Nicaraguan border. We drove through a lovely cloud forest landscape with windy roads, wisps of cloud on the tops of the mountains and lush vegetation. It was through a national park the name of which I do not recall (Braulio Carrillo National Park). Then we stopped at Sarapiqui at a supermarket for picnic supplies and breakfast for tomorrow morning if we wanted and a replacement for DEET insect repellant. After a bit we reached the Poza Azul Adventure Center where we signed up for various afternoon activities and we had lunch on the deck overlooking the Sarapiqui River. I had a wonderful ceviche with tostones - not sure about the name - but they were the double fried plantain patties
Of the activities, I decided to do the canopy or zip-lining in Nicaragua, the horseback riding somewhere else, the rafting I had done in the Nile, so I chose the nature walk because Lou said the guide was very knowledgeable about plants. Rolando was very knowledgeable and seemed very excited about what he was telling us. I can't seem to recall much of it though; there was too much. We saw a number of poisonous plants - one had a sap that was very toxic to people but some animal was fine with it. He found us a frog after much looking around the frog pond. We saw lots of heliconia, banana and banana-relative trees. There was a garden where there were vegetables and fruit trees. Some of the fruits were extraordinary looking. Unfortunately, most of the fruit doesn't ripen until April. We went into a butterfly enclosure and saw quite a few butterflies. Along the path there were lots of ginger plants with flowers - so beautiful. I could have taken dozens of photos. I did. There was also a heliconia plant with fuzzy parts. Amazing and so nice to touch. I think we were not supposed to be touching things in case they were toxic. We also saw some trees with huge grapefruit and walked on a suspension bridge over the river. That was fun.
It has started raining as we left the center to go to our campground for "glamping" as Lou calls it
The dinner was wonderful- lots of foods: a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and carrots, palm hearts that I loved, some tuna in tomato sauce, a chili pickle, cold cuts, cheese, chips and dip and more. We had beer and juice to drink and I got to talk to several different people - whose names unfortunately I didn't get - I guess we are past introductions. After dinner, we stayed and chatted for a while. I left before Clare. I read a bit and then turned off the light and listened to all the night noises. The howler monkeys were out in full force.

text: I am in the process of planting a small family orchard and am considering adding a bee hive to the list to pollinate my fruit trees. I am concerned about having the hive as I have 2 children and we seem to always have other children here as well. I am concerned about my kids getting stung but I am paticular concerned about a visiting child being stung and having an allergic reaction. Not just the financial consequences but the issue of someones child being injured or worse while in my care. I know this is a possibility anyway...but I would feel VERY responsible purposely having a hive on my property. I ran into a man sellling honey down the road, he lives about 4 miles away. I am hoping his bees will pollinate my orchard and later on when my kids are older and not running the yard all day I can have my hive. Any thoughts or advice? Am I being overly cautious?

Not sure if Mr. Simics sells this or if it's just linked from his site and is sold by another manufacturer, but this is the electrical venom collector I've been looking for- to make bee venom for internal use without having to 'macerate' some bees (see the really good Lyme article thread for details on how this device and the internal use of bee venom works).
Mr. Simics also sells venom to licensed medical practitioners.
here's the link to the electrical bee irritator device:

• Like Camenker, David Parker is an outspoken anti-gay activist. Parker has challenged the school system in Lexington, where he lives, over its insistence on teaching impressionable young children that gay men and lesbians not only exist but have families. Imagine that. Now Parker is the lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit aimed at stamping out gay-friendly themes in the public schools — thus depriving students, parents, and teachers of their own First Amendment rights.
• Cameron Walker didn't show much sense last fall when he posted messages on Facebook.com blasting a campus police officer he didn't like — especially when he wrote that the officer "needs to be eliminated." But surely Fisher College overreacted by expelling Walker, who had been the president of the college's student government. The context was clear that by "eliminated," Walker meant "fired" — not, well, you know.
• Newspapers are supposed to be bastions of free speech. So what was Bill Ketter, editor in chief of the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, thinking? Last July, Ketter suspended editorial-page editor Ken Johnson for questioning an edict ordering reporters to refrain from identifying criminal suspects by race. Johnson got three days off for writing an e-mail arguing that the policy was "so much wrong-headed PC nonsense," and asking how one might refer to the racially motivated 1998 East Texas murder of James Byrd. (A second staffer was also suspended for writing an e-mail that, unlike Johnson's, indulged in some crude racial humor.) Ketter, in a message to staff members, defended the new policy, writing, "PC has nothing to do with it. Being responsible and fair has everything to do with it." Unfortunately, Johnson was treated neither responsibly nor fairly.
• Boston mayor Tom Menino is understandably worried about a street culture in which those who witness violent crime are intimidated into not reporting it. But His Honor stepped way over the line last December when he vowed to send city inspectors into stores in order to seize T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase STOP SNITCHIN'. "We are going into every retail store that sells the shirts and remove them," Menino said. The mayor soon backed down, asking store owners to stop selling the shirts voluntarily. But anyone who continues to carry them knows he or she is on the wrong side of City Hall — which, when you think about it, is pretty intimidating in its own right.

Oliver es una persona muy amable. Ha sido un muy buen anfitrion. El departamento esta muy bien ubicado, cerca del metro, en avenida y a 1 cuadra del supermercado abierto las 24hs. El unico problema que tuvimos es que nos resulto chico. Eramos 8 personas y considero que es un departamento apto para 6. Si volvieramos a ir, pero 6 personas en lugar de 8 no dudaria en volver a reservarlo.
met 5 personen in app.+studio verbleven. Ruimte was voldoende, locatie prima voor bezoek aan centrum, 24u supermarkt op loopafstand, goede wifi, prima tv, lekkere douche.
minpunten: beddengoed ruikt niet fris, slaapbank erg hard, app niet echt schoon, 1 handdoek pp voor alle dagen, dus wassen en drogen noodzakelijk.
kortom: zeker het geld waard, een aanrader!

My stay at Oliver's studio was ok. A couple issues during my stay such as the wifi not working, but nothing major.. Oliver was super friendly.
Oliver is very pleasant and the apartment is comfortable with all the things you can watch on the photos. It was a great experience. Regards
Oliver was very pleasant and easy to work with. There is a ton of places nearby. The train station to the apartment is about a 10 minute walk or you can take the bus. The train station to the city center is about a 40 minute train station. The beds were very comfortable. Though there was a lot of road noise. If you can bring a sound machine I would bring one if sleeping in the living room. In the bedroom it wasn't so bad for the noise. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, plates and cookery items. For groceries, ASDA is just 2 blocks down the road. Otherwise it was a great visit. Thank you Oliver.
