How far does Holley have the C's going this year? (You might be surprised). All that, plus more than you ever wanted to know about their neighborhood.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
And now it. On WEEI guns come. Inflationary everything you wanted to know about the Boston Celtics and the sport of -- in general always want blades Duncan who we've all Flannery column WEEI. -- -- -- Hey I'm talking hoops podcast go back to the bridge. Today the very first guest -- talk to podcast. The Bill Murray in my letter and Michael Holley. Is in its studio or talk Celtics were talk playoffs Michael. -- -- I'm doing great you know volumes of people. We're neighbors. But we never -- -- and never. I can see your family and I see your people. That. I have one person walking by the house. But I never see we'll see or senator that's right so this is this is a great opportunity to see a neighbor in studio. I understand -- right and you also write well about basketball won't let a neighbor who writes well about basketball and mr. the block party. It should have been there I was there where it -- Reuters can sit down and not one to two inside baseball last basketball. So you said about the playoffs -- are you kidding after watching that last night. Out there who want and I two weeks last night and the whole season last night means nothing it means nothing that was. An exhibition games have been played in Manchester, New Hampshire has. The fact that it was at the -- is laughable it was -- -- horrible and you look at you look at guys who play well on a game in music. Maybe in the playoffs -- now I don't -- to meet irritations -- it was a little bit of first. To the Celtics home court. In the first round or in the first you know. It looks like going to be matched up with Atlanta right now -- they don't need they don't -- home court gives the man. Because there's just something about that team and this goes back years and years this goes back to. Mike for hello I'm Mike for hello hawks and I don't know if that town the town is not really into. -- passionately not into basketball or. They don't have the right mix of players. But you don't fear the Atlanta Hawks so if you think about it home court advantage. Even though Chicago stadium is long gone is it when it go to Chicago. And play the polls. If the knicks are good you know when -- go to New York to play the next no line in history has ever sent. I don't wanna go to Atlanta. And play those those talks tell you that's a tough place to play it's a tough city to play because -- some things that happened outside of the court. Very underrated oriented to -- in order to stop I don't think it has anything to do with. But basketball now I -- -- you I mean the one thing I would say is you wanna if if you're gonna make a run in this play house. You wanna get rid of the series as fast as you can know that they're gonna be able to I think is going to be a six game series at minimum maybe even seven games maybe even sent. It will so this. Do you think Al Horford can come back. Not looking like Sherman caught it and -- can well you know it's it's it's at this point 148 on Wednesday and as of 148 on Wednesday Al Horford says he's not playing. In the first round may be in as a Ingraham. I love it he's a gamer he's a gamer not nearly as in if he if he were to play in the first round I would be a little nervous. About his presence even though he's been out for forever but he still. An all star center in the Eastern Conference in somebody's got to you know think about even though he he he must be out of shape. But he provides something that the Celtics don't have investor number one weakness rebounding. Ability to match -- -- With the big guys and he's not that big 696 and buddy plays big and he's somebody that the Celtics would have some problems with even. Coming off of an injury so if he doesn't wanna play into the sector around there will be in a sector around for the Atlanta Hawks and -- of it and into the second round five. There there is one match appear in a series that would concern me from the Celtics to Joseph Johnson. And Avery Bradley right yeah that's the well Joseph Johnston as we've seeking in the playoffs before especially there at home. I don't know what it is about him when he plays. In Atlanta in the playoffs against the Celtics. I can be dangerous he was a nightmare for them in 2008. You think about. Re trying to match up with them it was difficult at times it was difficult for Paul to match up with them. And he's got a pretty good size advantage over over Avery Bradley so I can understand -- you concerned about. With with Joseph Johnson. And maybe it's an unfair criticism. When the Celtics traded him during his rookie year -- mean when they treated him. Maybe this is propaganda. And maybe there's an element of truth to it they said he didn't have enough dog. It just don't have that killers -- -- -- come come come about if I'm the most talented player on the floor. And I was shutting down right now and at times he's done that but not consistently so. You can say he should have a big time matchup over Avery Bradley and you may see it in a couple of games. What happens in the other four or the other five. So on not as scared as you're. Com and so scandalized mama -- -- did I did that you did -- it was an area there on those get those veteran move on your part. I mean here's my thing where they were Bradley they need him on the court. And if you if if Atlantis Smart they'll match -- they'll match of Joseph Johnson as the as the to guard against Avery Bradley try to get him out of there were. Well yeah that's true okay on the flip side how do you feel about Joseph Johnston as a defender. Not so much right. Nor do I feel very good about Marvin -- so Paul Pierce should have a field day in Tennessee he should. The thing about Avery that impressed me the most Nancy come in and I was down on this kid last year at beginning of this year and shooting 30%. He was miscast as a point guard they don't complain point now off the ball. But the thing that's impressed me the most is that he has learned to cut to the basket. Like a veteran. And so. Joseph Johnson may take him to the post and make them look bad at times. But he's got to lose Joseph Johnson. On a few occasions too because Johnson is not a is not a great defender and there are many help defenders on the hot seat. Now they really are and you know -- The salvation when the series. I don't think there's a going to be anybody says that it you know who's gonna pick you know lesser being contrarian you're not pick in the hawks and we got some of those we do have some -- -- goodness there is one guy though. Of all the injured players in the pocket and we'll throw Rondo into the mix to back spasms -- no joke. So we'll throw Rhonda -- Dwight Howard Ray Allen. Exactly teachers. Whose injury concerns you the most who's it who is the guy obviously you know you need Rondo on the court but the who's the guy you need in this series. Ray -- really Sacco PH. Ray Allen despite the bone spurs and ankle problems. You look at his shooting percentage this year. He he he is not to be that he hasn't had his regular season I think the lockout. Has hurt him the most not in terms of being -- -- is always in shape he'll be 75 years old in -- championship to restore it. It takes so he's a pattern he's a routine guys -- structured guy so the lockout has taken a -- -- structure. That current offense. Has taken away some of his production the improvement of Avery Bradley is taken away another routines are now you know coming off the bench. I feel like Ray Allen despite all those things you look at his shooting percentage from three point range shooting percentage from the field. It's still very good for -- for a guy his age is unbelievable Reggie Reggie Miller and Ray Allen. When their room and -- when Reggie is done broadcasting and raised downplaying the should. Might run -- fitness corporation or something there they're freaks of nature. So you get that guy going in the playoffs it's an incredible vantage whether restart to come off the bench he's gonna come off the bench particularly -- Ray Allen -- in front. Yet I -- making deport them at my point with teachers is that he's the guy. Back in second switch on Joseph Johnson. He's the guy that can take him if you know if they're gonna start with him the way the way Atlanta plays they're gonna start Johnson to two of the three if you start with a two -- it would not shock me. If teachers rated play if he actually started those games I mean the designation of starter really. Doesn't make that much of a different and I got a massage even when ray was -- they are all playing thirty minutes tonight. That guy allows them into a lot of different things in terms of versatility if you don't have -- there you become very conventional specially off that bench which is very thing -- You know we've kind of left out the fact that the Celtics. Are in this position and we're talking about them as if they should win this series yes this conversation. Would have been laughable on December. Do -- January. Absolutely they're fifteen and seventeen at one point 32 games of halfway through the season. You think in May be do you blow it up it's is this a lottery team. They've tried to blow it up Danny Ainge tried he was unsuccessful is that China is doing here he's a little embarrassed. That the story's gotten now. Ray Allen he embryology traded the -- -- party trying to get Paul Pierce in New Jersey the deal fell apart. So the fact that. The Celtics are in a position where you Fink and I think. They should win a first round series vs the hawks and I think. Their legitimate Eastern Conference finalists. Are you don't see me. Dad go to bed I'd -- go. Yeah I agree that I I don't know I don't know it's a topless photos and outside of a -- -- but I do. I've there's one team -- fear and -- as -- team -- fears Chicago SO. I don't fear Miami was for what they don't fear them and the heat -- you shouldn't. And get to the best five players in basketball. One of they got a saying to they got three of the top. 2015 players in the game. They got -- -- is considered -- a coach who's not -- but not -- -- pick -- one of my favorite role players of all time Shane Battier -- they do some nice things. Why don't -- fear the Miami Heat -- educate me. Slap some sense into me. Metaphorically. Too I'm not sure doing what it's doing anymore. And you start -- -- you think Dwyane Wade is slipping slipping. Not it doesn't mean he's not still -- innings incredibly hot and they're not slip. Being you know I also think this you mentioned -- yes having a horrible years shoot the ball Mike Miller. Mike Miller is not done anything in two years Norris called their their point guard that they are all high on that particular game to completely Barnhart completely fallen apart under the Celtics don't fear the they don't know who. I know that but it still and I knew that you bring up appoint. A very good -- -- I knew Dwyane Wade was slipping. But I saw him before it was a Sunday afternoon -- it was a Celtics playing the next. At the garden as a Rondo. Historic triple double from Rondo went three guys -- league can -- use that line like that. So as their leading up to the next game and it was Miami lakers. Dwyane Wade walked it was a really tight white peers at that point as it is about to -- -- -- this. How that happens guys that fantastic impeccable fashion sense but he walked that would -- the white cancels tightly against. Everybody slept on it because to -- Because the project have to be carrying a purse right. -- because. LeBron James is an easy target we are focusing on from the bribes pars. And I just couldn't get over the tight white pants. From Dwyane Wade. And under 65. And your strong dude right and you brought your body. But you should be that for a now you really should come up and replaced it pretty pleased are really a question though about the -- yes it's about the -- No question why -- -- prints. -- a what would what constitutes success for the Celtics right now -- You know question yet. Good question I think can this is the last for a -- this last -- and there's no way this group is gonna come back rate of freeagent. -- -- free agent after this is over. I just don't see it all the house's only way they come back is that they win a championship threat to win a championship. You almost don't want to do that Jerry Krause thing and break it up before it needs to be broken levee tweet though tremendously yet. Success. I think is. For a lot of people for the majority of people is getting to the conference finals. In losing. In a armor on the on the battlefield. Game seven overtime. He's old warriors gave all that they had but it just wasn't an up against these young spry. Chicago Bulls. That's success -- lot of people other people it's Boston the space tons of banners hanging up there and that many Atlantic Division champion banners championship banners. NBA finals so I think for a lot of folks it's winning. -- I to me the whole thing. I am I some -- -- a hard time seeing how they get by Chicago and second I just scared I just don't see it because they're so but it. And because they do the one thing the Celtics have actually no answer for which is which is -- popular let me correct. The thing. This whole battlefield scene vs your rate that it would have to be -- and -- around battlefield scene vs the heat them. And now vs Chicago because they -- there in that bracket where they got a -- they win the series right and left what you think Chicago is gonna lose to. You know either the knicks or Philadelphia absolutely not but I will be curious to -- damaged or grossest. And a healthy it I think. I think it's a can really competitive series. Without Derrick Rose but they're still good it's so good yet they're so athletic. But that second round look at this how you see you know see how to get by Chicago and a stick around. Chicago needs to be. Wounded a -- so of Derrick Rose. Is had 80%. Or 85%. Okay that's how to get by and still won't be easy because Chicago just has the length and athleticism. That will give the Celtics fits the rebound -- the basketball. And a lot of people. Just haven't focused on this you look at Paul Pierce in Chicago. The last two years. -- the world and it blew all day. All bang his head the the best of Paul Pierce on most nights are really tough matchup foreign. And it's just Luol -- you look at the small forward Chicago has had over the last three or four years from that epic series. That the Celtics -- Derrick rose's rookie year. John Salmons who was given -- Here's with -- -- don't. Judge -- why John sound man's excuse me getting brokers problems. But so that position has been a problem for the Celtics for many years now. It has and this this is why I mean it would have been there have been really good if taken have somehow gotten on the east side of the bracket. If they could somehow -- that I -- seen a repeat of 2010. They wanted to cats so bad did. And they and they knocked out fraudulent -- it you know you called it. And yet you dig dig deeply Grady gets Orlando won that series before -- -- him. That worked out so perfectly for them I'm not sure it would happen if they had say Orlando and second round that year that's why you know I'm I'm just not seeing how they can get my -- so. Who do you think you eat it sounds like you think Chicago was the best team in the east no I think Miami would beat Chicago so you got nine times -- and and -- becoming obvious. I do so Miami comes out of these two comes out -- the ongoing Santonio and I know that's that's a that's a terrible. He got to beat either Memphis sort of the clippers in the second round. But I don't think Santonio is the best team and it is in the western -- -- for Memphis after lasted a little something for them in my. Clippers. I don't know. It's been a nice year for them. Excited to fan base and sure he got Chris Paul and that's great didn't know Blake Griffin Duncan all over the place. San Antonio I don't think we'll be worried about the clippers the second round Memphis has proven and we conviction moment we -- all right we just did it last year it's not ancient history. Now San Antonio can counter with well we didn't have Ginobili Ginobili came back he wasn't quite the same we didn't really have our team. So we'll see and and will also see if Gregg Popovich is theory. Late games late season theory which I which I really like is intriguing. He's collected -- madness basketball goes he's quirky things on my team has a ten game winning streak. Rest my starter -- what are I don't divot yeah what you think he really doesn't does this. Really pay off for them in the post season. We'll say I -- -- a San Antonio. I don't believe and Oklahoma City I can fit into the lakers are gonna come out of the west who on the about it the lakers gonna come out and I think you have to start a show here detective and I think it's going to be Celtics lakers about how the Celtics lakers just -- -- -- the house was have a drink and keep talking about. Love it love it lot of talking who might -- good yourself. Thanks so much for listen you guys would back soon -- I hope.

5 New LinkedIn Features for Gen Y Job Seekers
As a Gen X new grad in 1996, there were no full-time jobs in my field and I was still living at home. I had to be noticed to be given a chance.
You're not alone and many of you have the skills to get to where you want to be. You just need to be found. One way to get yourself out there is to use LinkedIn.com -- this job-focused social network has been flourishing and only growing in popularity, especially in the last five years.
Tap into what LinkedIn has to offer and you're halfway there. Why not have an online resume 24/7 to showcase your skills to employers and recruiters who are looking for you?
Here are 5 recently added LinkedIn features you can take advantage of as a Generation Y job seeker:
1. Edit your profile and add Projects, Languages, Organizations, Honours and Awards, etc. -- don't just let your Experience sit there all by itself, especially if you don't have that much of it yet. Move these sections around so that you can showcase your accomplishments more effectively.
2. In the last few months, LinkedIn has been upgraded to include more graphics and visual appeal. The area for your profile photo is now larger. Be sure to have a professional photo that builds trust with those who review your profile. In addition to a good photo, be sure to write your own bio and include it in the Summary section. In your bio, make sure to list any specific outcomes about what you achieved during school or as a volunteer. Be very specific about what kind of role you are looking for and encourage others to contact you. For example, put your email address right up front in your Summary.
3. Keywords rule on LinkedIn because that's how employers will find you. Ensure that your Skills and Expertise section lists the keywords you want -- not just what you can do. People who know you will start endorsing you for the specific skills you list -- another new feature on LinkedIn. Don't know what to list? Use the Skills and Expertise search from the More menu. Type in a skill and have a look at the results LinkedIn displays and consider adding them to your profile.
4. Company Profiles on LinkedIn have been enhanced to include job listings. Even better -- it shows if you are connected to anyone who works there. You may be connected to the person who posted the job or at least learn first and last names to contact the job poster (since there may be hundreds of online applicants). Using the Company Profile, you can also research the kind of organization you'd like to work for. You may be able to use this company information during an interview and make an impact on your interviewee with your level of knowledge about the company.
5. When you start adding connections, learn about what people are talking about in your network. Search their updates using Signal available from the News menu. Write comments on their posts and share their articles. When the time is right, you can let them know you are looking for a job opportunity and they will be more comfortable referring you. LinkedIn is a great tool to get access to what's called the "hidden job market" through your connections. The more people you talk to, the more likely people will refer you to their managers and hiring authorities even before the job opening is posted.
In addition to these tips, get to know as many business and career-minded people as possible. Applying online won't get you very far -- you need to standout, connect, apply and then follow-up, follow-up, follow-up.
It's good to connect social media sites to LinkedIn... except when it's not. If your Tweets and Facebook updates don't often reflect a professional manner, it's best to leave them detached from this networking site. "aT the baR till 4AM!!!" doesn't give off the best impression for prospective employers. On the other hand, if you maintain a relatively professional attitude with social media, link it up! The more relevant updates, the better.
Reaching out to recruiters can be done, but in a respectful way. Asking directly for an email or the phone number of an employer is usually not considered a classy move. Most won't have time to review your resume, so if you approach a recruiter have a specific question about a position without begging for information. Keep in mind some recruiters are more responsive than others, and it's always best if you reach out to contacts with shared connections.
That tiny profile picture on LinkedIn is your one shot at leaving a visual impression -- so make it a good one. Don't include other people in your photo, and remember to remain professional. Keep the cleavage and shirtless pics on your Facebook account (if you must). Stacy Donovan Zapar, one of the most followed women on LinkedIn, has some great tips on what to avoid when selecting a shot.
The primary point of LinkedIn is to "connect" with others in your field of work. But be careful with your connections: Do you know them personally? Did you do business together? Are they involved in your industry? Remember, LinkedIn is not Facebook and should not be treated as such. Also, check out InMaps, LinkedIn's visual guide to how your connections span. Do most of your connections fall within a few certain categories, or are you too spread out?
When describing your past positions and abilities, refrain from using the same words as everyone else. The top five most commonly used phrases on LinkedIn are: creative, organizational, effective, extensive experience, and track record. "Competition for opportunities can be fierce, so craft your LinkedIn Profile and resume to stand out from the professional pack," said Nicole Williams, LinkedIn's Connection Director.
You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, right? While this methodology works occasionally, beware of your profile looking insincere. If all of your recommendations come from people whom you've also endorsed, recruiters may believe you and your friends are simply swapping praise. Don't be afraid to reach out to former employers via LinkedIn and request a recommendation that counts.
An updated, well-crafted profile is key when trying to appeal to recruiters. Not only should your previous work experience be listed in an organized manner, but your current position should also be included. Companies don't want to guess where you work, so don't leave them wondering. Adding projects or professionally updating your status is another way to stay relevant.
LinkedIn "groups" were created to benefit the user, so stay social and participate in applicable forums. Search for groups in your field of work and in your general location for the most targeted results. Also, be aware of recruiters that may reach out to specific forums and partake in the general group discussion.
Use your real name in your profile's "name" field, not your email. While you might think adding an email will make you more accessible, it typically throws off LinkedIn's search option. It also violates the User Agreement. Your name is what people will most likely search, so use it.

Where I stayed
On Sunday we went to explore the old town. We were supposed to go to our homestay but we weren�t sure what time. We attempted to ring an information number we had but got a lady who spoke no English. The man in the phone shop ended up ringing out homestay to ask for us
We have our own rooms with a double bed which makes quite a change from hostels. It�s nice to have some privacy but not having had any for so long it feels quite bizarre. After arriving we had a late lunch with Graciella daughter, Anna and her three children. At first we were left sitting alone at the table with the kids and it was unbelievably awkward, having used up the only couple of questions we knew in Spanish we all just sat there in silece staing at each other! Anna was really goof though, she didn�t speak much English but somehow managed to make herself understood. After lunch Graciella and the two boys walked us down to show uswhere our school was. When we came back the table was full of cakes and pastries etc. for Carlos�birthday which was the next day. Communication was getting easier andthe mood was much lighter and it was all fun and games until Fernando shoved Daniellas face into the birthday cake!
Monday was day one of Spanish classes. The school is about a 20min walk from where we�re living and classes are from 8:30 until 12:30
We have breakfast and dinner at our homestay. The food is good and ample and we get freshly made juice with every meal. We have lunch out, the typical set lunch costs around $1.50 and is made up of soup, a rice and meat dish and a desert.
Tuesday we went to classes as usual and then we went to meet our friend Sonja. Sonja is the German girl we met on our tour in Yosemetie and ended up hiring a car with. She studies in Ecuador when she was younger and has an Ecuadorian boyfriend so she is here staying with him. We went with her and her boyfriend Andres so a bar and drank beers all afternoon, the sun even came out for a while! Everything is really cheep here, we had two jugs of beer and two mojitos for $10. We went home for dinner and then went out again. It seemed necessary as we discovered it was out one month anniversary of travelling! Just went to a couple of bars and a club, had the biggest shots I have ever seen in my life, at least three times the size of a normal shot and it took me three tries to get it all down!
Wednesday Jo swapped into a different class as our abilities are different as I have studies some Spanish before
Wednesday night I became very ill and spent the whole night vomiting. I have no idea what it was from but I felt awful. My body was still trying to vomit when there was absolutely nothing left in my stomache. As well as feeling might sick and tired the next day I also had incredibly sore stomache muscles and all my muscles in my back and neck felt like they had spasmed into hard little knots. My lessons on Thursday were not overly successful despite everybody being lovely and making me a huge pot of the local remedy for stomache upsets, oregano tea.. and my host mother feeding me powdered tablets of what I assume was aniseed and cinnamon..??
I spent all of Wednesday in bed while Jo was out at the pub watching the soccer we had considered getting tickets for. It was the Quito team against Argentina and surprisingly Equador won. Although I would asssume that because of the altitude that Quito had a huge advantage.
On Friday I was feeling much better which was lucky as we had organised a class excursion.. our class consisting of course of myself, Jo and our teacher Gustavo. We went to mitel de mundo, the centre of the world, otherwise known as the equator. There are however actually two sites dedicated to the existence of the equator, the first is the one that was discovered by French scientists a couple of hundred years ago
200m down the roadl ies the real equator line calculated with GPS and the site is also an outdoor indigenous museum. We were taken on a tour where we were told all about the phenomonens that occur on the equator. In particular the one concerning the way way water flushes down a toilet. We were shown a demonstration where a plain old rusty sink full of water was placed right on the equator line, when the pug was pulled the water funnelled equally from all sides and went straight down into through the plug hole. When placed in the southern hemisphere the water spiralled anti-clockwise down and in the northern hemisphere it was clockwise and the water spiralled faster apparently because the forces are stronger in the northern hemisphere because of the greater land mass. I was fascinated but slightly dubious having just read in my lonely planet that it is a hoax as experts say that the forces are not strong enough to have an effect on such small volumes of water
Some other demonstations included balancing a raw egg on a nail, supposedy easier because the forces are equal etc. Ones weight is less on the equator because it is the furtherest away from the centre of the earth and one is also weaker. Supposedly it is also harder to balance along a straight line with ones eyes shut on the equator, although I have to say I find this exercise challenging wherever I am!
The museum also contained a traditional indigenous tomb where bodies were buried in the faetal position in large pots. If a chief dies he would be buried along with his wife, servants, children (if they wish) and a bunch of guniea pigs, all alive of course but thankfully drugged. One such tomb was found near Quito with 47 bodies in it and only one person had actually died. The guniea pig has a special meaning for the indigenous people, they also eat them.. We were shown some replicas of traditional housing from various ethnic groups that exist along the amazon and were descibed in all too much detail the process of making shrunken heads. The museum contained one example of one such head from a small boy
There were also specimens of jungle creatues such as an anaconda and massive tarantulas much bigger than my hand!!! Eww... we returned to Quito around 2pm and went straight home to get ready to go away for the weekend. As I have mentioned Quito is cold and the weather is unpredictable with lots of rain. It is also quite polluted and I feel with each walk to school I have brought myself one step closer to lung cancer, for some reason the cars and buses seem to emit a whole lot more black disgusting lingering smoke than they do in Australia.

There are three tables in a room with blocks of chocolate on each. Where would be the best place for each child in the class to sit if they came in one at a time?
At the corner of the cube circular arcs are drawn and the area enclosed shaded. What fraction of the surface area of the cube is shaded? Try working out the answer without recourse to pencil and paper.
At the beginning of the night three poker players; Alan, Bernie and Craig had money in the ratios 7 : 6 : 5. At the end of the night the ratio was 6 : 5 : 4. One of them won $1 200. What were the assets of the players at the beginning of the evening?
On the first day he decided to keep ${\bf \frac{3}{4}}$ of his peaches.
He gave the rest away. Then he ate one.
On the third day he decided to keep ${\bf \frac{5}{9}}$ of his peaches.
He gave the rest away. Then he ate one.
On the fifth day he decided to keep ${\bf \frac{2}{3}}$ of his peaches.
He gave the rest away. Then he ate one.
How many did he have left at the end?
(ii) A little monkey had 75 peaches.
Each day, he kept a fraction of his peaches, gave the rest away, and then ate one.
These are the fractions he decided to keep:
$ \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{4} \frac{3}{4} \frac{3}{5} \frac{5}{6} \frac{11}{15}$
In which order did he use the fractions so that he was left with just one peach at the end?

Black is beautiful, without a doubt. We are all versions of Africans with varying degrees and patterns of non-adaptive and often unfortunate mutations owing to chance, inbreeding, or genetic isolation, and we are all subject to clinally manifest selective forces resulting in clinally distributed phenotypes.

Individual animals that live and and forage in groups may not always benefit from a particular move (to or from a foraging site) in the same way as other individuals in the group. Therefore, there must be some kind of negotiation among the critters.

Allen's Rule. One of those things you learn in graduate school along with Bergmann's Rule and Cope's Rule. It is all about body size. Cope's Rule ... which is a rule of thumb and not an absolute ... says that over time the species in a given lineage tend to be larger and larger. Bergmann's Rule says that mammals get larger in colder environments. Allen's Rule has mammals getting rounder in colder climates, by decreasing length of appendages such as limbs, tails and ears.
All three rules ........ Read more »

A new study published by Chiao et al. in the journal PLoS ONE explores the gendered nature of American voting behavior. Subjects were asked to rank politicians -- based only on photographs of each politician's face -- along different quality scales, and also to choose among these photographs who should be President. The study concludes that male and female candidates are evaluated on distinctly different terms, and that male and female voters do this evaluation in somewhat (but not dramaticall........

The genome of the extinct woolley mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) has been sequenced, and reported in Nature. This confirms that elephant genomes are large, like the elephants themselves. It confirms previously proposed relationships amongst the elephants (see phylogeny below) and refines the known phylogeny. Interpopulation differences among mammoths were also demonstrated.
Here's the phylogeny:

A protist is a single celled eukaryotic organism, and they are usually pretty small. You can often see them, though! Before you put that sample of pond water under the microscope, take a close look: Many protists are at the boundary of visibility for humans.
Then, there are the giant protists, grape size, living on the bottom of the sea where they roll around in the mud. It has been known for some time that there are giant deep sea protazoans that are not mobile. Here, though, is a bit o........ Read more »

Atheists are smarter than Calvinists in Dutch Study. But, the Calvinists are quicker at identifying small shapes than the Atheists.
Despite the abundance of evidence that human perception is penetrated by beliefs and expectations, scientific research so far has entirely neglected the possible impact of religious background on attention.

The paper I'm about to discuss is a minefield of potential misconceptions that arise from the way we often use language do describe natural phenomena. This is a situation where it would be easier to start with a disclaimer ... a big giant obvious quotation mark ... and then use the usual misleading, often anthropomorphic language. But I don't think I should do that. We'll address this research the hard way, but the result will be worth the extra work.

Cute baby lions. When they grow up, they will want to eat you. I'll never forget the first wild lion I ever saw. It was a pitch black night, on the savanna in the Western Rift Valley.

Human societies tend to be at least a little polygynous. This finding, recently reported in PLoS genetics, does not surprise us but is nonetheless important.

This is not yet an error in the mainstream press, but there is an error afoot, currently represented in the widely read slashdot, which I imagine will propagate.

Overnight flight to Norway!
I'm about to board my flight to Oslo, Norway! I have layovers in Detroit and Amsterdam. The whole thing will be 13 hours or so.. I think on the way back I just have one layover.

He climbed the tower then, but didn't have a great view. Given the beautiful weather yesterday, he had hoped that this time would be better, but it ...
We made it - NOT!

Hi girls, I am afraid to tell you but your father is an "offender"!!! We got pulled over on the way to Greensboro!! It was hilarious!! We thought the police car wanted to get past us to get to an emergency as his lights were flashing, then we realised he was chasing us!! Your dad was doing 73 in a 60 zone and he has been fined 148 dollars, luckily he wasn't sent straight to jail!! Pic attached!! The sheriff was a ...
Day to just drive
... Nascar Hall of Fame, and Charlotte motor speedway. Actually, it was Bec's idea to do the drive in 2 shifts and have a day in Charlotte, so I have to thank her for thinking outside the box on that one.
We managed to split the driving pretty much 50/50 today so we are both a little road weary. No photos either. Photo's of being between 2 semi trailers on the interstate don't make for good viewing. I can assure you that tomorrows photos will make up for the lack of shots today.

Guwahati: Gogoi denies pressure on News Live
The SIT set up to probe the case is will send raw footage of the incident recorded by News Live for forensic test.
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Thursday asked a city-based news channel to clarify remarks made by its former editor-in-chief that there was pressure from him to resign over the coverage of the molestation of a girl near a pub in Guwahati.
"There was no pressure from me on News Live's management to make former editor-in-chief Atanu Bhuyan resign. News Live management should clarify the matter," Gogoi told reporters at his chamber in the legislative assembly complex.
Bhuyan had resigned from his post on Tuesday alleging interference from the Chief Minister. News Live had recorded the first visuals of the molestation case, which rocked the state.
Later in the day, the management of the channel denied that it was put under pressure at any point and said that comments made by Bhuyan during the press conference on July 17 while announcing his resignation were his personal views made in his individual capacity.
"The management does not subscribe to any view or comment made by him (Bhuyan) after his resignation where he dragged the name of the chief minister or other external forces apprehending pressure ... The management of the channel clarifies that at no point was it pressurised by the chief minister or the government on the GS Road molestation incident and the happenings thereafter, including the resignation of journalist Gaurav Jyoti Neog and the resignation of Atanu Bhuyan as Editor-in-Chief," Caushiq Bezboruah, chief executive officer of Pride Entertainment Pvt Limited, owner of the channel, said in a statement.
The management has already relieved Bhuyan as one of the directors on the board of the company and his resignation as editor-in-chief has also been accepted.
Bezboruah said the news channel is an independent organisation and the impression that external forces could interfere with the editorial or management policies is "completely unfounded and baseless".
Meanwhile, the special investigation team (SIT) of Assam Police set up to probe the July 9 molestation case is slated send raw footage of the incident recorded by News Live for forensic test.
"We have gathered the footage and we will be sending it for forensic test," SIT head Ranjan Bhuyan said adding it would be done within a day or two.
The footage have come under scrutiny after Krishak Mukti Sangram Samity (KMSS) leader Akhil Gogoi alleged that the channel's reporter Gaurav Jyoti Neog instigated the mob who were responsible for the molestation of the girl.
Bhuyan, also Superintendent of Police (Operations) said police teams have been sent out of the state in search of the prime accused Amar Jyoti Kalita, who is untraced.
Meanwhile, Anand Prakash Tiwari took over as the new Senior Superintendent of Police of Guwahati on Thursday. He replaced Apurba Jibon Barua who was transferred after the molestation caught national attention.
Tiwari after assuming duty met senior city police officials and took stock of the situation.
Assam Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has also sought a detailed report of the case from Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Jayanto Narayan Choudhury, official sources said.
AHRC issued a notice to the DGP asking him to conduct an inquiry and submit the report to it within 21 days.

Having achieved almost all there was to in their debut A-League season, Western Sydney skipper Michael Beauchamp feels Sunday's grand final loss now gives them something to target next year.
The Wanderers went down 2-0 to the Central Coast in front of more than 40,000 fans at Allianz Stadium, ending an astonishing maiden season with their first loss since January 6 when, ironically, they went down to the Mariners by the same scoreline.
They entered the title decider on the back of a 13-game unbeaten streak and as minor premiers having created Australian sporting history as the first start-up club to clinch silverware in their first year.
Accomplishments made even more remarkable when you factor in that it was all achieved under a first-time head coach, 39-year-old Tony Popovic, who was in charge of a side that had been hurriedly thrown together just weeks before the season started.
With the championship trophy the only thing to elude them, Beauchamp feels it now gives them a focus for next season. "It definitely hurts and that's going to be a factor next season - we don't want to feel that again," he said yesterday.
The Wanderers had fielded several players who either weren't regular starters or had just come back from injury.
Popovic conceded maybe they weren't "match hardened" and "weren't as sharp as they could have been". He said he now had an appreciation of how the Mariners feel to have lost three grand finals in the past seven years.

Here are a handful of sites I enjoy that focus on children's books and reading …
- Literacy, families and learning focuses on literacy and how children learn. Great book recommendations and ideas of how to build on your child's interests to encourage reading. Some recent posts I've enjoyed include ideas for Making Books come Alive by visiting the places where the books are set and Getting boys into reading through non-fiction
- The Book Chook writes book reviews, reviews of online literacy resources and tips for parents on encouraging literacy. She puts together a digital magazine, Literacy Lava with great ideas from her and other bloggers for encouraging literacy in your family.
- Teach Mama has simple tools and resources to make parenting easier and to help you encourage literacy and other learning without your children even knowing. Some posts I've really enjoyed lately are recipe reading (and cookie-eating) and post-it, Cora (a quick game that helps your child in learning to write their name)
- Reading Rockets is a US website about teaching kids to read. This is where I'd go if I had a specific question about my child and reading (for example, if I wanted to know developmental milestones). They also have some handy booklists.
- The Little Big Book Club (an Australian site) has a monthly book recommendation for different ages (for children up to 5) and activities for each book. There are also suggested reading lists for different ages.

Washington, District Of Columbia -
(NBC News) In a matter of months, the terror group ISIS has risen from an obscure Al Qaeda offshoot to one of the greatest emerging threats against the United States and now Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says the ISIS threat is beyond anything we've seen.
The execution of American journalist James Foley has changed Washington's focus on the terror group.
"They are an imminent threat to every interest we have whether it's in Iraq or anywhere else," Hagel says.
With U.S. air support, Iraqis are gaining back ground, but America's top general insists it will take more than bombs to crush ISIS.
"This is an organization that has an apocalyptic end of days strategic vision and which will eventually have to be defeated," says Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey.
ISIS is now threatening to execute a second American journalist - Miami-based writer Steven Sotloff, and calling for attacks on other American targets.

There are some canned dog food out there that look just like many human foods. You may want to start with that, and just keep adding more and more hard food , cutting back on the canned food as the dog gets used to it.

Can you imagine the Today show or other MSM program airing a segment offering advice to men on how to train their wives to display better behavior . . . by treating them like zoo animals? A segment illustrated with footage of hyenas, baboons and other members of the wild kingdom undergoing training? Don't bother to answer.
Yet, incredibly, that's just what the Today show did this morning. Oh, with one small difference. It was a how-to . . . for wives who want to train their husbands.
'Today' introduced the segment this way: "One woman discovered she could train her husband the way they train animals at the zoo. Does your husband act like a sea lion, or a baboon, or a hyena?"
Lauer's guest was Amy Sutherland, whose recent article on the subject at the New York Times has apparently proved very popular, being one of the paper's most recently emailed items. Sutherland is the author of 'Kicked, Bitten and Scratched: Life and Lessons at the Premier School for Exotic Animal Trainers.'
The segment, narrated by Matt Lauer, was done with a light touch and some sense of humor. And the advice was pretty harmless stuff: use positive reinforcement rather than nagging, take small steps in behavior modification, etc. But it was the very premise of the piece that would have been inconceivable had the roles been reversed.

The act of drinking one self into a awe inspiring state of drunkness. To party hard or not party at all mentality. This word describes the process in which you drunk yourself shitfaced during a night out on a Thursday. After which you wake up to find a ton of gaping holes in ones memory and possibly one or two midgets tired up in ones bed. A truly awesome night out.
"Shit dude, lost my wallet, keys and my phone last night. I got a batman sign shaved on my chest and nipple- piercing. Plus I got 2 numbers on my stomach written in permanentmarker. One is a children adopting agency and the other was a chinese family that when i told them my name would not stop screaming. And by the looks of my neighbors im pretty sure im wanted by the cops. What a Carina thursday!"

Where I stayed
marie therese bay view apartments
The time i spent there was pretty much doing nothing, mainly watching bbc world and venturing out to the beaches to read my book and find some food
My last day up the north of the island resolved me to getting away from there, i visted the reduit beach which is a small tourist resort which is on an inferior beach to the one linking pigeon island to the mainland, the beer was expensive aswell so the next day headed down to soufriere in the south. The 8EC dollar drive down he was great, not including be crammed next to a fit local girl all the way, i also got to see the whole coastline ending with an amazing view of the Pitons as we entered the town. I've found a very cheap room, at only 40 ec a night, the room is probably as shitty and basic as i can bear, single bed, cold water, no tv or fan, gaps in the walls for mosquitoes to come in and bite the hell out of me.. the last 2 nights i've been sleeping under a cover, boiling hot trying to avoid them but have still ended up with numerous bites all over including my forehead and chin, which is new for me.. The plus side apart from being dirt cheap for the caribbean it has an amazing view of the town also it's stunning position looking out to see the sunset into the caribbean sea, the owner which likes to be called 'mama chassy' is a lovely catholic devotee who has a shrine to jesus at the entrance and walks around with her prayer beads has also done my washing for free and gave me a mango to eat and offered me coffee in the mornings
I've done some snorkeling at the marine park at anse chastennet where i swam through thousands of bunched up small silver fish and got eyed up by the large teethed baracudas roaming the area, after finishing my book on 'African independence' which felt like an eternity to get through i went to the bar to find the resort there is charging or really robbing tourists by charging 8.10ec plus a 10% service charge on top, i left to go and get my 3ec beers back in town.
Tommorow i'm gonna rent a car to get round the islands sights quickly staring with driving to the start of the piton climb, as i feel that i keep on spending too much time in one place, which is good for cultural immersion and to get a good feel of the place but if i keep on like this it will take a year just to get round to Mexico. So the plan is to speed up my travelling through the lesser antilies, hopefully get to Antigua and see the surrounding small islands within a month a then board a flight to the Domincan republic before the cricket world cup gets fully underway, and because this time next week i should be enjoying the carnival celebrations in Martinique so i'm currently brushing up on my french mp3s that uncle davros sent me back last summer

Date of Stay: July, 2010
Well we tried something different from our usual campground. This is right on the river. This park is hard to travel through in a RV as it has tight turns. The park shows it's age and is need of some improvement. Has a lot of BUGS! They have activities for kids. Office and the recreation room need air conditioning badly!!! It was hot in there!! Campground was ok. I would come here again but it's not at the top of my list. They do have WiFi but it is a charge. Like I said, we tried something new and you never know until you stay here. The people and staff were friendly!
Date of Stay: June, 2010
I was a member here for a couple years. Read all the reviews. Agree with most. Our take is Bass Lake offers a lot of activities. A lot to do: trails, fishing, take the boat out, Pines Village. If you have a car go to Oakhurst and Coarsgold, and Yosemite. The campground can be noisy and what the other member said, the staff can be really rude. They really try to sell you a membership if you are not a current member. Wish they would spend the due money on improvements. It is true sites can be hard to back into. Lots of trees and a small hike, but it's scenic. The manager can be rude and direct at times. You have to come right back at him. It is a nice campground and we would go back. Gets real crowded during the holidays, but what campground doesn't. Have to book way in advance.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
Beware!! When we got here, I was blown away! From what you read and see online, this looks like a nice park. NO WAY! It looks like it was stuck in the 70's. Park needs repairs and updating real bad. I attempted to make camp, the kid in the office told me what sites I could not reach water with two 25-foot hoses. Too many seasonal campers and run down sites. Has old fences falling down, lawnmowers and junk in and around the campers. After we couldn't hook up to water I had enough. I got my money back and we got out of Dodge. Went to the Empress Casino close by. Compared to this place the Empress was the Four Seasons. I won't be going back anytime soon.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
We go every year here at least once. For a casino campground it is really nice. Has a lot of room with concrete pad, grass and picnic table. We have 2 dogs and a lot of room to walk them. Casino is fun (only if you win). They will pick you up right at the office and will drop you off at your site when you are done. They used to have cable TV years ago. The casino has been sold a couple times and the new owner won't get the tower fixed for cable TV. I did ask, it was hit by lightning. This park use to be Passport America years ago to. But like I said, new owners and that is a thing of the past also. Nice place for a getaway. Always quiet at night if you don't camp by the waterpark real close by. They keep the grounds looking good. Just wish they would fix the cable TV. If you are passing through and need a place to stay I would stay here. I wish they would have club cards like we get at other casino camping if you stay 5 nights get one free. But no such luck. Overall a nice place to visit.

We have camped here for the last 5 years. Mostly what is said is true. Freeway noise is and can be annoying. You can camp on the other side of the lake closer to the office. The owner is mostly friendly. This used to be a Passport America park with weekends available. Now the owner switched it to Sunday thru Thursday and no June,July,August. Which really stopped us from going more often. I e-mailed the owner about this but I guess that is her right. There are seasonal campers there. Gets windy a lot. Also be ready for the charge for fishing her private lake. I would camp there again but it isn't to me the jewel that the owner thinks she has. It is the closest campground to us in Northwest Indiana.

Read other reviews and agree with most. As far as the facilities. The bathrooms were dirty and need an update. The lake is nice but you have to be a westerns horizons member or the manager treats you like a second class citizen. He sends you up to the upper tier of camping where I call it the mosquito and tick forest. The whole campgrounds needs a face lift. The clubhouse shows it's age! The game room looks like a bad boy's toy chest!! Broken stuff and outdated. We went there and like I said were treated horribly. I tried to talk to the people about a transfer of my membership. See I moved from the west coast to the mid west. I had a membership out there and this campground was in that network. I paid a huge fee for this membership. Nothing they will do but take more money. I told them I will pay the dues every year but no they wanted the huge initial fee again. And since I didn't pay I was just an average "Joe". Corporate person said it is up to the campground and they can simply transfer you in. For the money they charge the facilities were rough and outdated. Many things to do in the area but as far as the campground forget it. The manager had a huge chip on his shoulder and said "Sorry you will have to stay up on those sites" Not down on the lake because you are not a Western Horizons member!!! Down by the lake they park you so close together you can reach out your window and shake hands with the person next door! But it has a "Lake View" Needless to say we left and NEVER to return again. Like I seen before the best thing about this campground was seeing it in the rear view mirror!

Tune In
For pity's sake, give your poor, culture-starved kiddos something to listen to besides the Aussie-twanged musical stylings of Anthony, Greg, Murray and Jeff. Take the first step toward Wiggles deprogramming. Take a break from Raffi's eco-political warbling about saving baby Beluga whales. Do yourself and your kids a favor this Sunday afternoon. Drag their tiny hineys out from in front of the tube and take them to a real concert, with a real orchestra and real, albeit kid-friendly, classical music. The Richardson Community Band promises familiar music that will appeal to adults and children alike in its "Children's Showcase" at 2 p.m. G.W. Jones is conducting a toe-tapping John Philip Sousa march, as well as music from The Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Other highlights include "Yagi Bushi," a Japanese folk song, and the classic "The Syncopated Clock." The crowd-pleaser, though, will probably be the ultimate drum--or drums--solo, as pounded by the band's energetic percussion section. Tickets are $4 to $6. Eisemann Center, 2351 Performance Drive. Call 972-744-4650. --Annabelle Massey Helber
Independents Day
Sound familiar? Scheming, gray-haired, white guys hell-bent on starting a war? At least that big one--America's first--in 1776 is hard to protest. Edith Forbes' classic novel Johnny Tremain looks at the struggle for independence from a young man's perspective. The Dallas Children's Theater production races its hero through a series of dramatic vignettes played out on a multilevel set. Director Robyn Flatt uses space on either side of the audience in the new Paul and Kitty Baker Theater at the Rosewood Center, 5938 Skillman St., to literally bring the action right into the laps of the audience. It opens Sunday and runs through April 13. Call 214-740-0051. --Annabelle Massey Helber
On the Rocks
Disney heroines served chilled, over ice
You have a right to be "on ice" if you are the catch of the day, a Capone-era stool pigeon or a cocktail. Other than that, it's unnatural. In this particular case, step right up to see "Disney on Ice Presents Archetypal Models of Patriarchal Oppression"...oh, we meant to say, "Disney on Ice Presents Princess Classics." This extravaganza offers an intermingled tale of seven Disney "princesses"--Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Mulan and Snow White--in fanciful costumes, skittering about in an 8-ton revolving castle. The thought of an ice-skating mermaid boggles the mind, but maybe the kiddies will enjoy it. For ourselves, we will watch with the dark, secret hope that a princess-on-princess catfight will break out. The show opens Wednesday at American Airlines Center. Tickets are $15 to $50 from Ticketmaster, 214-373-8000. Michelle Martinez

WUHAN, Feb. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- Cargo transportation along the Yangtze River, the
world's busiest waterway, will soon be gathering speed by way of 10 billion yuan
(1.25 billion U.S. dollars) of planned investment over the next five years.
Tang Guanjun, director of the Yangtze River Navigation Affairs Administration, said
the national budget of 1.7 billion yuan (212 million U.S. dollars) had
resulted in a comprehensive clearance of the waterway over the last five
years, which has paved the way for the lift of navigation speed in the next
development stage.
Cargo transportation on the Yangtze river reached 795 million tons last year,
making it one of the world's busiest inland rivers, official statistics
show. The annual cargo volume transported along China's longest river is nine
times the amount handled by China's north-south railway trunk line.
However, most parts of the river are still in their natural state, with dangerous
shoals creating bottlenecks, said Tang, when referring to the five-year
building plan of the waterway.
The waterway, which flows into the East China Sea, is playing an
increasingly crucial role in economic growth in the river valley and has become
a vital link for international shipping to the inland provinces. Enditem
