Einstein's Jury: The Race to Test Relativity. Jeffrey
Crelinsten. xxx + 397 pp. Princeton University Press, 2006. $35.
In a letter written on February 6, 1920, astronomer Keivin Burns of
California's Lick Observatory expressed his doubts about Einstein's
general theory of relativity. "Of course no one at Lick
believes in the Einstein effect," he wrote, referring to the
gravitational redshift in spectroscopic lines predicted by the
theory, "it being contrary to philosophy, judgment, and horse
sense. But since so much is being said on the subject it is
necessary to be interested. It may take a long while to show the
error of the ways of the English astronomers."
The timing, location and subject of Burns's epistle are all central
to our understanding of the early reception and testing of one of
the pillars of modern physical theory. Most popular accounts of
Einstein's theory tend to depict the 1919 eclipse expedition, led by
Arthur Stanley Eddington, as the crucial test for general
relativity. Eddington's announcement that the paths of starlight
were deflected or "bent" by the Sun's gravitational field
by almost exactly the amount predicted by the theory was met with
incredulity and amazement among scientists and sparked an
international press furor. Within two weeks of the first media
reports, the British humor magazine Punch recorded in lines
of doggerel that an English "patriot" had been forced to
write a funeral march, "To record, as he said, that a
Jewish-Swiss-Teuton / Had partially scrapped the Principia
of Newton."
As Jeffrey Crelinsten's crisply written and impressively researched
book shows, however, the "patriot fiddler-composer of
Luton" gave up his faith in Newtonian physics long before
American astronomers were convinced to do so. The ongoing skepticism
of the Americans was to have real import, for in the 1920s it was
increasingly to the Lick and Mount Wilson observatories, both in
California, that European and British scientists would look for the
final word on the validity of a theory that few professed to
understand fully.
There is no dearth of literature on Einstein, but two elements make
Einstein's Jury stand out: First, it looks at
astronomers, rather than physicists or mathematicians, providing a
focus that comparatively few others have offered. Second, and even
more important, Crelinsten's book crosses the Atlantic to offer a
genuinely novel perspective on the question of relativity's
reception. (The most notable exception to both of these points is
historian Klaus Hentschel's extensive work, of which Crelinsten
makes good use.)
American scientists repeatedly bemoaned their inability to deal with
the theoretical intricacies of Einstein's new formulation of the
nature of space and time. As a result, theory takes a back seat in
Crelinsten's story; he stresses instead the ways in which
observational materials and practices changed in order to grapple
with "the Einstein problem." At the same time, Crelinsten
uses debates over Einstein's theory as a lens through which to
examine the tensions within the U.S. astronomical community, as
better-funded and better-equipped astronomers in the West came to
accept and later argue for general relativity in the face of
skepticism and even hostility from their eastern colleagues.
The book is divided into four parts, the first two of which deal
with the years between Einstein's publication in 1905 of what would
later become known as his "special theory" and the initial
responses to the 1919 eclipse expedition. This is the material,
especially the European side of the story, that will be more
familiar to the specialist. But the account is deftly told, and we
arrive at the end of the 1910s with a good sense of the major
contours of international astronomy and a real sense of surprise
that the English would so willingly ignore the negative or neutral
evidence from the Lick in favor of Eddington's eclipse data.
American astronomers critical of the theory clearly felt the same
surprise and accused their British colleagues of launching a
publicity campaign on Einstein's behalf, a claim that recent
scholarship tends to support (as shown, for example, in articles by
Alistair Sponsel in the British Journal for the History of
Science and by Matthew Stanley in Isis).
Part three covers the years between 1920 and 1925, as researchers at
Mount Wilson took up the redshift problem in earnest and Lick
observers continued their work on the gravitational bending of
light. In 1922 the Lick would confirm the results of Eddington's
expedition with data deemed so solid that the Lick's director,
William Wallace Campbell, informed Frank Dyson, Britain's Astronomer
Royal, that the observatory would not bother with further testing of
the problem at the next eclipse in September 1923. On the basis of
redshift data collected during that eclipse, even the formerly
reticent astronomer Charles E. St. John of Mount Wilson stepped
forward in support of the theory.
For more cautious and critical researchers, however, the 1923
results were no more decisive than those of 1919. The director of
the Allegheny Observatory in Pittsburgh, Heber Doust Curtis, for
example, was forced to concede the existence of a deflection larger
than that predicted by Newtonian theory, but he still balked at
accepting Einstein's theory. He held out hope that Newtonian
mechanics would eventually explain both evidence from the Lick and
the perihelion of Mercury. (The perihelion of a planet's
orbit—that is, the point at which the planet passes closest to
the Sun—shifts slowly over time. It had earlier been shown
that Newtonian mechanics alone could not easily explain the movement
of the perihelion of Mercury. Einstein's theory, however, could
account for it.)
Curtis was not alone in his opposition. Crelinsten delineates the
ways in which postwar, anti-European sentiment played into the
debate, as some scientists were critical of Einstein personally, as
well as his theory. T. J. J. See, astronomer at the Mare Island Navy
Yard, would make use of the vicious propaganda promoted in Germany
by a group of anti-Semitic scientists who accused Einstein of
plagiarism. Charles Lane Poor, professor of celestial mechanics at
Columbia University, referred to Einstein as "the bolshevist of
science" and called his theory "the most dangerous
doctrine of modern times." Curtis remained strongly anti-German
and complained to Campbell at one point that "the personnel
list of Lick and Mount Wilson are getting to read too much like a
page of a Swedish directory."
Crelinsten's story shifts in the fourth section, which deals with
the "final acceptance" of Einstein's theory in the second
half of the 1920s. He notes that one of the effects of strident
antirelativist attacks was to shift the positions of the directors
of the leading observatories in the western U.S. from their studied
neutrality to an open advocacy. "The nature of the ensuing
debates," he writes, "forced Lick and Mount Wilson
astronomers to go beyond defending their observations. They ended up
supporting the theory."
The book's symmetry of description—strong when discussing Old
and New World astronomers—wavers somewhat in this section. No
similar equality functions between leading U.S. institutions and the
individuals who would remain opposed to relativity. Campbell's
actions, for example, are depicted as "natural" and
"appropriate" while the motives of See, Poor and Curtis
are both personal and "suspect." This treatment seems
inadequate for Curtis, in particular, who is portrayed earlier in
the book as far too rich and multifaceted a character to be
explained so simply.
In spite of this shortcoming, the book remains an impressive one
throughout. It belongs to that rare breed of works that will be of
genuine interest and enjoyment to the casual reader while at the
same time being required reading for the specialist.

Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
I mentioned on another thread the interior trim project, here are some quick photos of the finished job.
All Overland wood trim has been vinyl wrapped 'real' carbon fibre (this has texture).
Overland steering wheel (with the stupid chrome rings - what where they thinking...) has been re-covered in high grade leather (full wheel).
As said in my previous Amp install location thread, this was done by a professional outfit, using high grade vinyl. All trim was removed off, as the wrap has to extend around the edges and in some cases behind the trim.
Will take some better pictures with my SLR and will update original post. I think WK SRT guys would also be interested in this look :cool:
Definately looks better then the cheap wood.
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
Definitely :)
Also took off the Boston Acoustics badges from the speaker grills as they are no longer Boston Acoustics. Hertz Audio all the way.
Just a word of caution to anyone doing this wrap, the air vents and shifter trim (the ugly chrome thing that sits on top of the wood trim) have steep edges, so most vinyl would struggle to stay on. The carbon fibre seemed to have stuck well ... must be also the textured composition of the film that allows it to 'mould' to the corners. The same did not work with cheaper matt black or glossy black vinyl.
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
Looks Amazing! Great job. Love the steering wheel.
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
Slightly better photos .. still not with the SLR but a bit more light this time:
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
What wrap did you specifically use? I used 3M vinyl on my 2010 SRT8
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
Looks great! :thumbsup:

Pro Wrap - High quality Vinyl Carbon Fiber | Tradex Middle East
3M is a massive company, they generally do very good products, I am not keen on their window tint though. Interesting since they started off 1902 in grinding wheel abrasives in Minnesota !
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
I love the new carbon look, in fact you gave me a great idea as i'm already sick and tired of the stupid oem wood style trim.. Did you have to remove the steering wheel and the wheel buttons to cover with leather and carbon ??
Any cost estimates for the vinyl and the leather????
Thinking of giving my trims for vinyl wrapping to 3M which is the best we have in greece......
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
Steering Wheel: yes, removed steering wheel and horn button and side control buttons (Overland trim). The challenge in the wheel full wrap was that the upper part is wood, and the lower part is leather, and there are these (stupid) "chrome" rings that separate the two. the leather wrap shop told me that they can't wrap over these without it 'bulging' so they ended up breaking them off and filling the gap with foam/sponge and then wrapping the whole steering wheel with leather. To be honest it wasn't cheap doing all this but I hated the wood so much so was willing to pay. Good leather car upholstery companies would know what to do with this I guess but don't go cheap on steering wheel. I paid about 2000 AED for this (400 EURO) so you can get for cheap or more, but I wanted the real deal for real leather - perhaps you can get this done cheaper in Greece.
Vinyl Wrap Trim: All trim was removed off first. I guess the price I paid would not serve you any purpose as a very close friend owns the wrap shop and he did it for me at cost materials only (I don't think he was even charging that). The vinyl price material is pretty standard, the cost is really in labour. Trouble with carbon Fibre is to get the 'pattern' looking symmetrical and aligned, so needs patience and good craftsmanship. If you are really stuck, perhaps I can ask if he would take international jobs, but not sure if it would be cost effective with paying courier back and forth to Greece...
Good luck!
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
That was very useful - thanks ! Found a shop locally using "CARBON BY ARLON" for wrapping. I will stop by and have look...
For the steering wheel i have to find the time to remove it first.....
Thanks all info !!!
Re: Interior Trim Carbon Fibre, Leather steering wheel
I work in a sign shop. Id be interested in the type of vinyl used also.
Ive got samples of the carbon fiber wrap from another company and did not like it. I am trying to get a sample of the Oracal CF wrap material. It has texture and has a good look to it.
Ive wrapped cars/tailgates before so I am pretty sure I can handle this. Just take your time, go slow. Heat guns are your friends.

Windows 7 x64 JET database engine damaged.
I have a database application that uses MS JET Database Engine. Somehow, through uninstalling another application, the database engine has become damaged and I can no longer launch my application (I just get an error). Uninstalling & Re-installing the application has not worked, and System Restore doesn't give me a restore point I can use. I'm using Windows 7 x64 and I have Office 2010 installed. How can I repair WDAC (I understand that JET is now part of WDAC)?

using overcoat I find 3 results for 8873057144, but I'm unable to add any of them to my library
Which source are you using then? I tried it through overcat too (like OP) and ran into the same problem. Same when I use "Italian National Library Service" directly, which is the source overcat brings up.
I searched using Overcat, as the OP suggested, and I selected the first example it proposed, which was the Italian National Library Service I think.
Maybe it's somehow browser related then. I'm using FF13.0.1
The script doesn't run for me
javascript:document.form0.submit() first work
javascript:document.form1.submit() second work
javascript:document.form2.submit() second work
I'm using Safari Version 5.1.7
the script works with books found searching pentothal, for example
I tried firefox 13.0.1 with no luck
Yes, I get those too.
So it's not the browser either. Getting puzzled.
The question is what browser is bernsad using, because it gets around a known bug. Look in the More on all three results - the publication contains \1999!, and LT can't handle backslashes. An attempt to add fails silently, just as this one is doing (Amazon frequently has backslashes in titles, so that's what's usually mentioned, but any backslash anywhere in the record fails).
The really odd thing is that entering that ISBN and searching Overcat got me no results; I added Italian National Library Service and searched on that, got one result though the top said 3 (and nothing extra in More, I checked), then searched on Overcat again and got three results. Probably a completely separate bug (or even a feature - it doesn't give me non-English results in Overcat unless I search them directly first?). It will be interesting to see if I get Italian results from now on.
fixed now it works
Our Start-Page remains empty. Can fill in the list on adding books manually, but not choose a collection nor save the list

VIDEO: The trailer for National Treasure: Book of Secrets
In this follow-up to the 2004's National Treasure, renowned relic hunter Benjamin Gage (Nicolas Cage) finds his family line linked to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. For those not in the know, Gage is something of a chummy synthesis of Indiana Jones and Tom Hanks's cryptographer from The Da Vinci Code. To clear the family name, Gage must go on a worldwide scavenger hunt, breaking into Buckingham Palace, abducting the president of the United States, and finding a "lost city of gold." Adding to his trouble, he's now estranged from archive expert Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger), his sweetheart in the first Treasure. Lost, however, are Harvey Keitel as the sympathetic FBI bureau chief and new additions Helen Mirren as Gage's mother and Ed Harris as the irritant. Bruce Greenwood does cut an impressive president and director Jon Turteltaub keeps the action taut, but in the end, the pieces don't fit. 124 minutes | Boston Common + Fenway + Fresh Pond + Circle/Chestnut Hill + Suburbs

Since placements are so important at World's, I was wondering what countries have not sent a 'full' team to avoid losing spots.
I vaguely recall that one country was able to send 2 ladies to World's, but decided to only send 1. Their thought was that the combined placements of the 2 would cause them to lose a spot the following year, whereas the likely final placement of their top lady only would ensure that they could maintain 2 spots.
I'm not even sure if this would be allowed - to have only 1 skater to keep 2 spots. If one had to withdraw during competition, I could see how it could legitimately happen. Otherwise, i'm not sure if the rules would even allow it.
Does anyone else recall this?

We've heard rumours of a 10in Acer Aspire One and, for once, they've held true. Now official the system not only brings with it a larger screen size but also a refined design which, in my opinion at least, gives the system a much more professional look.
Specs are, unsurprisingly, par for the netbook course. A 1.6GHz Atom coupled with 1GB of RAM, a 1,024 x 600 resolution screen and a 160GB hard drive at the core of the 10in One. WiFi (notably not Draft-N), Bluetooth and optional WiMAX and 3G connectivity are all sported.
Perhaps a little over-enthusiastically, Acer claims that a 6-cell battery coupled with the "incredibly low power consumption {of} 10in Aspire One guarantees up to 7 hours battery life." While we'd love to see a netbook accomplish such a feat, I can't help but think that estimate might be just a little on the generous side.
Interestingly, according to DigiTimes' Acer is planning to stop shipping the 8.9in Aspire One once the 10in model hits the streets. That makes a certain sense, as 10in netbooks have become much more popular than their smaller brethren. And, of course, it seems a bit odd to have more than one One.
Update - 15:27, 23/01/09: Acer tells us the 10in Aspire One will have an RRP of £299 and will be available from mid-February.

Class of 1963 Reunion Class Notes
Chauncey L. Walker '63
After our graduation, I spent twenty-seven years in the real estate department at Kelley Drye & Warren in New York City, with a one-year sojourn in California to start a real estate department in the firm's Los Angeles office. After that, I practiced for a further sixteen years in the real estate department at Cuddy & Feder in White Plains, NY.
While at Cuddy & Feder, in 1999 I began to teach Real Estate Transactions and Finance as an Adjunct Professor at Pace University School of Law in White Plains. My relationship with the Law School developed nicely, and in 2006 I was offered an associate deanship there, which I accepted.
My title is Associate Dean for Administration and Community Relations. The duties are highly varied and involve me in buildings and grounds matters, security, safety and emergency planning, transportation, faculty and staff office assignments, and so forth (all of which led one of my colleagues recently to comment that I am really the school's "Associate Dean for Infrastructure," which I find to be both amusing and generally accurate).
I continue to teach my Real Estate Transactions and Finance course, and this year we added an upper level skills seminar in commercial real estate to my responsibilities.
Such spare time as I have is pretty well filled with all the things that my wife, Gina, and I enjoy doing and with seven grandchildren, golf, the New York Football Giants, the New York Yankees and skiing. I do not think much about the possibility of retiring and will continue to ignore the idea as long as I remain in good health and enjoy working.
We are looking forward eagerly to June and our reunion.

Update: We just learned that Tim's moonset picture is listed as a potential winner for Viewer's Choice in the 2009 National Georgraphic International Photography Contest. However, the only way he can win is with votes! Voting ends on December 4th and it is so easy, your toddler can do it. Simply go here and select the Nature category. His photo (moonset) will be the third photo that will pop up. Photos are scored 1 – 10, 10 being the highest.It'd be awesome if you could vote…this is a HUGE competition!! If you voted, THANK YOU!!
Update # 2: If he wins, I'll send everyone who claims they voted a"holiday" (Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah…if you don't clarify, you're getting a Christmas version) card…with a small print of the winning photo. It'll be like, a piece of awesomeness to call your own.
November has pretty much kicked my ass and I'm happy to move myself right into December. I think December and I will become best friends simply because December is not November.
November is an asshole.
November didn't let me to pay as much attention to booshy as I feel is required.
What happened in November?
Nanowrimo. Thanksgiving. 2 Turkey Trots. Meet-a-versary. Traveling. Maddie. Work. Stress. Marathon training.
However – there is a happy ending that occurred in November.
Dear Internet: (and it definitely needs to be the entire internet) about 1/3 of my stress has now disappeared because…I totally killed nanowrimo. It's head is sitting on my mantle.
And I need to mention that Tim entered a photo contest. I put the details on tim's gallery, but this is his entry. If you want to vote for his amazing photographic skills, go here.
The other 2/3 of my stress? Maddie and her massive, raging infection/allergic reaction/who the hell knows but it's not nice.
Lexi is currently depressed…mostly because she can't play with Maddie and all the cats avoid her all, "You are entirely too unrefined."
Dear December…I NEED YOU.

they ran me and my moms credit on a car that doesn't exist. I wanted certian options on the car i wanted and they said they needed a few days to locate the car becasue they didn't have the car there but they would find it either wednesday or thursday and i could get it friday ( this was on a tuesday). It turned out the car i wanted doesn't exist and i found that out by calling the consumer affairs of hyundai. i called the manager and told him what i found out and he insisted that the car did exist. They ran me and my moms credit and we got approved for the loan but we have no car becasue again it doesn't exist. so now this is going to sit on our credit report for 2 years.i tried calling them all day and got no answer from the sales person or the manager. i left numerous messages and have gotten no return call. How does a manager not know what does and doesn't exist. Worst car expierence ever!

Rethinking Polar Bear Evolution
A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Early Edition on-line), is shaking up science's view of polar bear evolution. Previously, it had been suggested that the white bear of the north was a relatively young species that diverged from brown bears during the last glacial period. That glaciation started after the Eemian epoch (~125,000 years ago), peaking around 25,000 years ago. New genetic analysis pushes that estimated divergence back to 4-5 million years ago, though there seems to have been a significant level of interbreeding between the two species over time. Another important finding is that the polar bear population underwent a significant contraction around 500,000 years ago. According to this new information the polar bear has been around for much longer than previously thought, implying that it has survived many interglacial warm periods. In other words, those who think the polar bear cannot survive the shrinking of Arctic ice packs are dead wrong.
The polar bear has served as a poster child for species threatened by global warming for decades. There is no denying the attraction of the big white bears, favorites in zoos and coke commercials. I myself am a great fan of polar bears, one of them is a major character in my forthcoming science fiction novel, Parker's Folly. In "Polar and brown bear genomes reveal ancient admixture and demographic footprints of past climate change," a large group of researchers led by Webb Miller, of the Center for Comparative Genomics and Bioinformatics at Pennsylvania State University, has rewritten the book on polar bear evolution. Here is the PNAS paper's abstract:
Polar bears (PBs) are superbly adapted to the extreme Arctic environment and have become emblematic of the threat to biodiversity from global climate change. Their divergence from the lower-latitude brown bear provides a textbook example of rapid evolution of distinct phenotypes. However, limited mitochondrial and nuclear DNA evidence conflicts in the timing of PB origin as well as placement of the species within versus sister to the brown bear lineage. We gathered extensive genomic sequence data from contemporary polar, brown, and American black bear samples, in addition to a 130,000- to 110,000-y old PB, to examine this problem from a genome-wide perspective. Nuclear DNA markers reflect a species tree consistent with expectation, showing polar and brown bears to be sister species. However, for the enigmatic brown bears native to Alaska's Alexander Archipelago, we estimate that not only their mitochondrial genome, but also 5–10% of their nuclear genome, is most closely related to PBs, indicating ancient admixture between the two species. Explicit admixture analyses are consistent with ancient splits among PBs, brown bears and black bears that were later followed by occasional admixture. We also provide paleodemographic estimates that suggest bear evolution has tracked key climate events, and that PB in particular experienced a prolonged and dramatic decline in its effective population size during the last ca. 500,000 years. We demonstrate that brown bears and PBs have had sufficiently independent evolutionary histories over the last 4–5 million years to leave imprints in the PB nuclear genome that likely are associated with ecological adaptation to the Arctic environment.
The dataset used included deep sequence coverage for the entire genomes of a polar bear, three brown bears and a black bear, plus less complete coverage of 23 additional polar bears, including a 120,000-year-old individual. The researchers noted that very few vertebrate species have such comprehensive genomic resources available. Using this vast amount of data, the scientists discovered that polar bears are far more ancient than suggested by previous studies. Indeed, a recent study placed the species' age at only 600,000 years old, but that analysis looked only at small segments of DNA.
That report, "Nuclear Genomic Sequences Reveal that Polar Bears Are an Old and Distinct Bear Lineage," which appeared in Science, obtained information from nuclear DNA indicating that polar bears actually evolved in the mid Pleistocene. This provides much more time for the polar bear ancestors to colonize and adapt to the harsh conditions of the arctic. Based on studies of mitochondrial DNA, polar bears had earlier been considered an example of surprisingly rapid adaptation of a mammal to colder climates. "In fact, the polar bear genome harbors a lot of distinct genetic information," said Frank Hailer, the lead author, "which makes a lot of sense, given all the unique adaptations in polar bears."
The newer PNAS report extends the polar bear's evolutionary timeline even further, from 600,000 to more than 4 million years. The significance of this finding is rather understated by the summary in the abstract. A number of the paper's authors have commented on the work in interviews for a ScienceDaily news article, "Polar Bear Evolution Tracked Climate Change."
"We showed, based on a consideration of the entire DNA sequence, that earlier inferences were entirely misleading," said study co-lead author Webb Miller, a Penn State professor of both Biology and Computer Science & Engineering. "Rather than polar bears splitting from brown bears a few hundred thousand years ago, we estimate that the split occurred 4-5 million years ago." The genetic overlap among bear types identified by the new study is shown in the illustration below:
Shared alleles among bear types.
Instead of looking at short fragments of DNA the new study looked for alleles. An allele is one of two or more forms of a gene or group of genes. The terminology used here defines genomic positions where two different nucleotides could be confidently identified as SNPs. The study identified 13,038,705 SNPs when they aligned the samples from all 27 individuals. The other term, SAPs, stands for single amino acid polymorphisms and they are derived from comparing SNPs looking for differences of just a single amino acid. The analysis was helped by comparing bear DNA with dog DNA, since the DNA of dogs has been extensively studied (dogs are a more distant relative of bears). All of this DNA data was used to construct a phylogenic tree showing the relationships among different types of bears.
Phylogenetic reconstruction of relationships among bears.
The investigators found interesting contrasts between the subject bears DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which is inherited from only females. The new analysis uncovered more genetic similarities than previously known between polar bears and an isolated group of brown bears from southeastern Alaska, referred to as ABC brown bears. This suggests that these animals have exchanged genes since becoming separate species. The paper likens the clear discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in the ABC brown bears to that found in the evolutionary histories of archaic and anatomically modern humans.
What makes a polar bear a polar bear? Not too long ago biologists would have said it was obvious, polar bears have physical differences from brown bears that let them survive in an Arctic climate. White fur (actually transparent tubular hairs) over black skin provides camouflage and absorbs warmth, large well insulated paws help movement on snowy surfaces, and a less omnivorous diet adapted to meat and fat reflects conditions on the frozen icepack. Most of these traits are morphogenic, having to do with the physical characteristics of the creature. Modern evolutionary biologists look more to what's inside, the genetic makeup of polar bears.
"The ABC brown bears' mitochondrial sequences are much more like polar bears' than like other brown bears'," Miller said in the ScienceDaily interview. "This made us wonder what other parts of their genomes are 'polar-bear-like.' We mapped such regions, which constitute 5 to 10 percent of their total DNA, onto the genomes of two ABC brown bears. As such, brown/polar bear hybridization, which has been observed recently in Arctic Canada, has undoubtedly contributed to shaping the modern polar bear's evolutionary story."
Distilling all of the genetic information down to a more accessible form yields a diagram showing the relationships between the three main types of northern hemisphere bears. Also shown are some of the proposed transfers of mitochondrial DNA caused by interbreeding.
The family relationship between bears.
"This means polar bears definitely persisted through warming periods during Earth's history," added Charlotte Lindqvist, from the University of Buffalo and the paper's senior author. These intimate relations may be tied to changes in Earth's climate, with the retreat of glaciers bringing the two species into greater contact as their ranges overlapped, she explained.
It seems that polar bears are using interbreeding with their brown bear cousins as an evolutionary response during warm periods like interglacials. When the ice retreats the bears grow amorous and willing to breed with brown bears as well as their own kind. This "strategy" would allow the bears to respond quickly to a warming climate. No wonder that polar bears, or at least their ancestors, were able to ride out more than a dozen interglacial periods. The recent sightings of polar bear/brown bear hybrids in northern Canada no longer seem so surprising.
This is not to say that the polar bear and bears in general have not suffered from the ascent of man as Earth's dominant predator species. The PNAS paper notes that bear populations in general have been declining since the beginning of the Pleistocene. Whether this is due to climate change or human predation is unknown but there was a significant dip in the polar bear population beginning about 500,000 years ago that continues to this day (see the chart below).
Bear demographic history during the Pleistocene.
From the population plot it is easy to see that polar bears do better during a glacial period, holding stead or even increasing as the did since the Eemian. There also seems to be a trade-off between brown bears and polar bears since the Eemian, with the brown bears increasing as the climate warms and polar bears doing better as things get colder. This supports the interbreeding as survival strategy thesis stated above.
"Hybridization is a widespread evolutionary phenomenon that can play a role in speciation, in particular among closely related species," the report concludes. "Today we know that evolutionary progression can continue even while species undergo "genomic invasions" from other species." Something similar has been happening with the North American coyote, which has cross bred with gray wolves and domestic dogs to create a bigger, stronger animal. The new hybrid coyote is moving into the top predator slot left vacant since humans drove wolves and mountain lions effectively into extinction. It seems that the polar bear is not the only species to use cross breeding as a survival mechanism.
Still, green activists and climate alarmists continue to bewail the imminent demise of the polar bear, claiming that a warming world has no place for the great white bear. Balderdash. The latest scientific findings show that the polar bear has weathered worse climatic storms in the past. In fact, if asked to bet on who will survive the great global warming scam—the climate change alarmists or the polar bear—my money is on the polar bear.
Be safe, enjoy the interglacial and stay skeptical.
Wow, we were really wrong!
According to an interview on Huffington Post, lead author Miller admits to getting a previous estimate way wrong (Miller himself wrote a paper three years ago suggesting the correct figure was about 150,000 years).
"Wow, we were really wrong," he said. "Not even close. I expect that polar bears have been white for millions of years."
That doesn't stop him from keeping the scaremongering going though:
"Bears in the past have gone through a lot of extreme changes in climate," said Penn State University biologist Webb Miller, one of the paper's lead authors. "That's not to say they'll make it through this one."
That's right, even though polar bears have lived through dozens of other warm periods, some much warmer and longer than the current one, doesn't mean polar bears will survive anthropogenic global warming. Get off it! Man may do in the polar bear, but it will be with rifles, not CO2.
only one animal
there has only ever been one animal i have ever come across that when the climate changed they refused to move to where the food is, and thats humans.
now given enough change a species may not be able to find new food sources, but they will at least try on their own to find it. Humans on the other hand can often be found nowadays with their hand out stretched demanding others help them, all the while being unwilling to help themselves.
"That's not to say they'll make it through this one."
so when he says that line above.. maybe he is actually referring to humans
People do move
That's an odd claim, shawnsilvas. People have migrated for food, including into the Great Plains to farm.
Yes, there are war pressures, such as one Great Plains tribal group moving into the hills to better defend against a warring tribal group.
For some reason Muslims moved into central and western Europe, such as the Ossetians who came from east Persia (Ossetia is an area in the north of the country of Georgia and an adjacent area of Russia).
I don't know why a tribal group from the more southern area of the Great Plains moved well south into AZ, perhaps the warring tribes motivated them.

Weiner Announces New Federal Grants
New federal grants are going to provide a major boost to immigration services, Representative Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn and Queens) said today. Twelve non-profit groups are eligible for a total of $1.2 million under the new competitive grant program.
Funding will expand the number of people who are eligible to become United States citizens by strengthening their English language skills, honing their knowledge of U.S. history and government, and preparing for the naturalization interview process.
Key Facts under the 2009 Citizenship Grant Program:
Who Can Apply: Communitybased organizations, which include faith-based organizations, adult education groups, libraries, volunteer and literacy organizations, can apply.
These organizations must serve one or more "priority" immigrant groups that are eligible greencard holders who are 65 or older, refugees or asylees, or those who have adjusted through "special immigrant" provisions.
When Are Applications Due: The application for the resources is due May 15th, 2009.
What Citizenship Grant Program Provides: Funds can be used to provide direct services to immigrants with legal status in the United States. Services include teaching English as a Second Language, naturalization preparation assistance, and citizenship-focused educational workshops.
Where To Apply: Organizations interested in accessing these resources can also find the application on http://www.grants.gov.
Representative Weiner said, "Immigrant families are essential to keep New York City the capital of the middle class. These funds will play a vital role in the City's diversity, growth and success."

The practice of counterfeiting American currency is already pretty low. Richard Fisher, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, says only 0.01 percent of all $100 bills are counterfeited. But there's no harm in making it even harder, especially since the $100 bill is the most widely circulated — and the most often counterfeited — U.S. dollar bill worldwide.
Front of the 2013 $100 bill redesign
"We estimate that nearly two-thirds of the $100 bills circulate outside of the United States. That's a face value of roughly $870 billion, or 8.7 billion $100 bills circulate outside of the United States. And this is why it's important for our nation to stay ahead of counterfeiting and maintain the integrity of our currency."
The last time the $100 bill was redesigned was in 1996. The newest bill features a blue 3-D security ribbon and a color-shifting bell in an inkwell. As with other more recently redesigned U.S. currency — from the $5 to the $50 – the new Franklin has also more color added to it.
The 12 different Federal Reserve districts started circulating the new bills on Tuesday.
Back of the 2013 $100 bill redesign
"And I think it's a matter of where you're located as to when you can walk into a bank, I certainly expect that by the end of the week, anybody will have access to these new $100 bills."
There's no need to trade in your old $100 bills for new ones. The Fed has never devalued currency when updated bills were issued, and the old ones will slowly be sorted out over time.

The trailblazing Net.Art work My Boyfriend Came Back from the War (in short MBCBFTW) by Russian artist Olia Lialina is celebrating its twentieth anniversary. The numerous appropriations and remixes of that work which have emerged over the past twenty years testify to its historical relevance as an interactive narrative on the Internet and as a work of Net art.
The publication presents both the original and 13 other versions by artists such as Jodi, Gragan Espenschied, Entropy8Zuper, Ignacio Nieto and Guthrie Lonergan, and so bridges twenty years of artistic praxis on the Internet. It also contains numerous illustrations and texts by Michael Connor, Roman Leibov, Joanne McNeil and Bruce Sterling.
Price: 29 CHF (plus shipping costs)
'Poetics and Politics of Data' reflects life in a world increasingly controlled by data and presents artistic positions that aim to make continuous streams of data visible – whether using Internet-based installations or graphic data visualizations. The participating artists question the relevance and place of the individual in a technologically connected society in which every day, each of us generates a nearly incomprehensible amount of data: Our every move on the Internet leaves behind a digital trace. In critical essays, Orit Halpern, Sabine Himmelsbach, Lev Manovich, Claudia Mareis, Ramón Reichert and Roberto Simanowski explore the phenomena of ‹Big Data› and ‹Data Mining› and pose critical questions about the ambivalence of life in a «datified» world.

Are you born digital? That will be a crucial question in the future, when we are obliged to conserve the art of our era and to make it accessible to the public. The publication digital art conservation documents the results of a research project launched by the ZKM (Center for Art and Media Technology, Karslruhe, Germany) in 2010, in order to advance international discourse on the the conservation of digital art. As well as case studies, it contains articles by major media theorists, restorers, programmers and artists, such as Edmond Couchot, Alain Depocas, Johannes Gfeller, Sabine Himmelsbach, Anne Laforet, Aymeric Mansoux, Antoni Muntadas, Jussi Parikka, Bernhard Serexhe and Siegfried Zielinski.

What is the impact, when geo-information services and social online platforms fuse their data and allow us to discover by smartphone which "friends" are currently near at hand? How is our experience of the city altered when it is filtered by mobile technologies? How can sensoring and monitoring data we used in the planning of urban infrastructures?
"Sensing Place" investigates the medial permeation of urban space and inquires into the myriad effects of the increasing overlay and overlap of physical urban space and virtual information space. In addition to four theoretical papers, eleven artistic positions address how the fusion of imagination and personal perception makes itself felt. These positions draw on aesthetic means and media technologies to explore the (novel) re-configuration of public space and hence facilitate unusual perspectives on the medias' ever more obtrusive encroachments on our environment.

I'm going to have breast reconstruction due to a double masectomy. Please help me, this is very stressful.
How Many Cc is Needed for 36 to 38C Breasts?
Doctor Answers 17
Talk to your plastic surgeon about your goals.
It is very normal to be stressed with all you are going through. When I talk to a patient about reconstruction I first try and determine the patients goals as to size. My experience is that most women want to get back to the size they were before the surgery but this is not always the case - some want to be bigger and some smaller.
The ultimate choice of implant size is based on the size of the womans rib cage - a bigger chest diameter say 38 or 40 would require a bigger implant to acheive a certain cup size while a smaller chest diameter- say a 32 or 34 - would require a smaller implant. Implants come not only in cc's but also in diferent base diameters which change the projection of the breast implant.
This all sounds very confusing but your plastic surgeon should be able to help you understand which implant would be the best choice for you. I sometimes use the weight of the breast that was removed during the mastectomy to give me a guide as to the appropriate size. If the mastectomies were done a while ago I have also found it helpful to have the patient try on a bra in the size they wish to fill and use implants to fill the bra and get a idea of the appropriate size for the desired reconstruction.
Your ideal breast size for reconstruction.
A double mastectomy can be very traumatic psychologically but with modern techniques the end result can be very attractive and satisfying. Because you are asking about cc's I presume that you are going to be getting implants. Most commonly implants are placed after expanders are placed and then a gradual expansion of the tissue is accomplished over several months. As the expanders are being filled you will see a gradual increase in breast size At some point you may identify that particular volume as what you were thinking of.
You and your surgeon can make note of that and them when the final exchange for an implant is ready you will have a very good idea of where you want to be. Remember, the final expansion volume will be well beyond that ideal volume you were thinking of. You have to stretch the skin to get a natural look for the breast. Remember to check the diameter for the implant and compare it to the diameter of your breast. That measurement needs to be pretty close to get an attractive result. Also there are many shapes for the implant and your surgeon will help you with that.
Wishing you all the best in your brave decision..stay positive.
Breast cup size
After a mastectomy, the chest wil require larger implants than normally used in primary breast augmentation. The back size( 36 or 38) will stay the same. The best way to figure out what works best for you is to see how they look when filling up the tissue expanders. When the volume you like is reached, let the doctor know and then he/she can size up the implants after the pockets are overstretched.

I Agree, No Exact answer.
The number (36,38, etc.) refers to the circumfrence around the chest in inches. The letter refers to the actual cup size an is not directly & exactly related to the chest circumfrence.
Really, this means that a woman with a large chest (say 42" can have small breasts, while a woman with a small chest (say 32") can be busty for her size.
I assume that you will be getting implants to make up for the volume deficit. Likely, you will need expanders, and the process will take many months. If I am correct, work with your ps, and pay attention to how much fluid he inflates the implant. You can use this information for when you have the permanent implants placed.
In my opinion, the most important thing about implant sizing, is getting the diameter correct. Beyond that, the projection can be adjusted with overfill, or different projection implants.
Breast implant size is always an issue - Make sure everyone is on the same page
Nothing in breast augmentation stirs up as much anxiety as size. I believe that several factors need to be considered.
1. Dissatisfaction with breast size is the number one cause for re-operation in breast augmentation.
2. Do not go into breast augmentation seeking a specific breast size and cup size, this will surely lead to some degree of dissatisfaction with your final result. It is more important to gather together photographs of your likes and dislikes when it comes to breast size, shape and form. Photos both naked and in bathing suits or bras are helpful. Review these with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery so that you are each speaking the same language when it comes to size.
3. Sizing implants slipped into your bra can give you a relative estimate of breast implant volume. At least it will get you in the ball park.
4. An easy method is to get a bra that you want to wear after surgery. Get a measuring cup that is marked in ml or cc's. Measure out a specific amount of dry rice. In general for every 200 cc's of volume you will go up a cup size. (this will vary depending upon the base of your existing breast, if you have a very wide base it will require more volume, if you are narrow it will require less. Put the rice in a nylon stocking or baggy. Put this in your bra and move it around. This will give you an idea of size + or - 20%.
5. Remember that breast augmentation will only give you a bigger version of yourself. It will not look like any other breast. Every one starts at a different place as far as size and existing breast volume.
6. Go to websites where there are many before and after examples that you can print and bring to your consultation. This will help in the size discussion.
Good luck with your decisions.
Depends on the amount skin and also kind of mastectomy
For the breast reconstruction the main goal is to have a viable skin envelop, and this limits the size. There is no direct answer to the size question, since there is no standard cup size and it varies from brand to brand.
Discuss you wish with your surgeon and let him decide the size that will give the best result.
How much volume for breast reconstruction
Breast implant choice
Web reference: http://www.breastandbodycenterofaustin.com/plastic-surgery-texas/dr-robert-whitfield/
Translating CCs to cup size is challenging.
It is very understandable to fell nervous about choosing the right implant size after reconstruction. First, it is important to realize that there is no standardization when it comes to bras and cup sizes, so one manufacturer's C cup might be another's B or D cup, depending. Most plastic surgeons will tell you that it takes about 150-200 ccs to go up one cup size. However, this number varies depending on your band size, which is the measurement around your ribcage (the numeric portion of your bra size). Your surgeon should walk you through a number of options when discussing implant size to help you feel comfortable with your choice, either by using sizers or even using an actual implant slipped into a bra. Remember, the specific implant size and bra size are far less important than achieving natural-looking, proportionate results.
Determining breast size
It appears that you are opting for implant-based reconstruction of your breasts, for which I wish you the best during your mastectomy and reconstruction...excellent results can be achieved with such.This is a very common question asked during breast reconstruction. The volume needed to achieve this result will differ amongst each woman. You must take into account body habitus, height, weight, as well as the projection-type of implant used. A smaller woman will require much less volume (cc's) than a much larger and taller woman would. The chest girth in inches (36, 38, etc.) will not change as this is a measure of the chest circumference beneath the breasts. The cup size (B, C, D, etc.) is measured by the projection from the chest. Also, this is always variable, as not all bras are made standard and one brand may give a different cup size from another. Determining this value during your expansion process, if you are having tissue expanders placed initially, may be the easiest way, as you could see the size as it expands and determine for yourself when you are happy with the size in clothing. Your surgeon would then put in a similar volume upon the exchange of your expanders for the implants.

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Wednesday, January 16, 2002
Sturges Picks Up Three Goals And Three Assists;
Santamoor Gets His Second Hat Trick Of The Season
Troy, N.Y., January 16, 2002 – Hudson Valley
Community College's ice hockey team capitalized on its first five power
play opportunities at Troy's Conway Ice Arena against Monroe Community
College this evening. That opportunistic style of play led the Vikings
to a 7-3 Eastern Junior College Hockey League victory.
"We made some changes in the last few practices,"
said second-year center Jim Sturges (East Hampton H.S., MA), who
had three goals and three assists. The Second Team All-American had either
a goal or an assist on each of Hudson Valley's first five scores. "One
of the things we worked on is the power play, when we're up a man and when
we're down a man. Taking advantage of mistakes, that's what's going to
win games for us."
The Vikings, winners of the 2000-01 national junior
college title, are now 9-4-1 overall. Monroe is 10-5-1. The two squads
played to a 4-4 tie at Monroe earlier this season.
In addition to scoring five power play goals this
evening, Hudson Valley notched two short-handed tallies, one by Sturges
and one by Mike Santamoor (Saratoga H.S.), who picked up his second
hat trick of the season.
"We also mixed up our lines," Sturges said. "The
chemistry is good."
Dean Vandervort (Northern Burlington H.S., NJ)
scored Hudson Valley's first goal, at 5:07 in the first period, giving
the Vikings a 1-0 lead. Monroe then took a 2-1 lead, but Sturges closed
out the first-period scoring with a rebound netter at 17:27, evening the
score at 2-2.
The Vikings scored five times in the second period,
while goalie Jason Vasco (CBA) held Monroe to just one goal in the
final two periods. He made 34 saves on the game.
Santamoor contributed three of Hudson Valley's handful
of second-period scores, and he knocked in the game-winner with 4:09 gone
in the second period. He also contributed an assist.
Shea Vandervort (Northern Burlington H.S.)
had three assists and Brian Mohan (La Salle Institute) had a pair
of assists.
"We realized that we couldn't let up once we got
ahead," Sturges said. "We just have to keep it going now."
In the 2000-01 academic year, Hudson Valley's athletic
teams combined to win 72 percent of their contests. The ice hockey team
won the NJCAA championship, the baseball team earned a berth in the NJCAA
World Series and the football team won the Region III title. The women's
basketball team earned a No. 1 national ranking and turned in a 24-3 record
while the men's hoop squad competed in the Region III championship game.
Additionally, two Vikings earned Region III Player-of-the-Year status,
20 were named All-Region III performers, and 10 were honored with All-American

Another cute poodle hanky! This one has an embroidered black and gray poodle in one corner. Handkerchief measures 12 ¼" x 12 ½", is probably a Franshaw production, and is in excellent condition.
This is a really cute handkerchief with 4 embroidered poodles! The gray poodle is tied to a lamppost while her owner shops and there are 3 white poodles her checking out – uh oh!! Hanky measures 14" x 14 ¼" and is in excellent condition.
Really cute little dog candy container by the J.C. Crosetti Company of Jeannette, Pennsylvania! Measures 2 5/8" tall and I believe it has the original candy pieces – display only, not edible!!
This is the cutest, silliest spaghetti dog I've ever seen! He's white with pink puffs on his shoulders, hips, and tips of his ears. Has pink trim around his rear ankles and on tips of his ears. He has a red nose and red tongue and is "wearing" a green hat. He measures 4 ½" long, 3" tall (from back foot to tip of his tail). He looks like a goofy dog – goofy but happy! You can't keep from smiling when you see him...
All Items : Wall Decor : Pre 1970 item #1156880 (stock #M4301)

This spaghetti poodle family is a little different – Mama has an attitude! She has two cute babies with her and she appears to be more than a little proud of them. Mama measures 5 ½" tall (at tallest) and babies measure 3" and 2 ½" tall (at tallest). They have red "Made in Japan" labels/stickers and are in excellent condition – cute!
This hanky is so cute! There are 3 embroidered dogs on a white hanky with flower accents. It appears that the lady dog has been leashed to a tree while she waits for her owner to return and – uh oh! – she has been spied by two little boy doggies! Hanky measures 10 ¾" x 10 ¾". It has a small (1/8") area where the machine stitched hem is coming loose – that's it!
