Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence - The American Museum of Natural History
Ages: All
200 Central Park West - 212-769-5100
New York, NY 10024
Description: The perpetually dark deep ocean comprises the vast majority of the planet's habitable environments where approximately 90 percent of the organisms are bioluminescent and provide the only source of light. Many of these environments are threatened habitats where organisms are in danger of disappearing, some before they have been discovered and studied. Creatures of Light introduces visitors to the astonishing variety of bioluminescent creatures; explores the different ways in which organisms glow, as well as explains the physics and chemistry of natural light; reveals how the ability to glow can be advantageous; and considers how scientists study -- and use -- bioluminescence. Visitors enter the exhibition through a forest of bioluminescent mushrooms surrounding a large-scale mushroom at the center. One section evokes a New England meadow on a summer night and highlights how fireflies use patterns of flashing light to communicate and attract mates; another invites visitors to peer into Waitomo Cave of New Zealand and learn how glowworms attract prey. The exhibition includes live flashlight fish that harbor bioluminescent bacteria. Creatures of Light also features an interactive environment that introduces visitors to the brilliant light displays of Mosquito Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico, where high concentrations of microscopic dinoflagellates, a type of plankton, create a glowing, luminescent halo around anything that moves through the bay; and a large interactive image of the Bloody Bay coral wall in the Cayman Islands. A "deep sea theater" reveals the amazing diversity of living light that marine biologists have captured on camera including anglerfishes waving bioluminescent "lures" to attract prey and jellyfishes that light up like a flashing pinwheel when threatened.

There is nothing really "in and out" about In-N-Out Burger. The lines are always long, but it's well worth the wait. In-N-Out Burger is a Southern California institution with a cult-like following not unlike that of Apple or Starbucks. Its reputation extends far beyond the West Coast, though, and indulging in a Double-Double (two beef patties, plus two slices of American cheese, hand-leafed lettuce, bread spread, tomato, with or without onions, on a fresh baked bun) is on the to-do list of many tourists.
The company was founded by Harry and Esther Snyder in 1948 in a Los Angeles suburb. It was Harry's innovation to start a drive-through burger stand where customers could order through a two-way speaker box. Back then, carhops and big canopied burger joints were the norm. In-N-Out Burger is known for its consistent quality, freshness (potatoes are hand-cut daily for the fries), and simple menu. But most important, In-N-Out Burger understands how to exploit the power of both customer collaboration and mystique.
The In-N-Out menu has only four food items—the same ones it started with back in 1948. You can order a Hamburger, a Cheeseburger, a Double-Double and French Fries. The fifth item is a beverage. You can enjoy the standard array of Coca-Cola products, or order one of three flavors of milkshake: chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry. That's it.
One reason for the cultish phenomenon is the "secret menu." You have to be in the know to be privy to it. The most interesting thing about the secret menu is that not only do the items on it far outnumber those on the published menu, but they are unique products, universally prepared according to a cross-company formula, and well beyond the Starbucks approach of allowing tweaks to an already extensive menu.
When you order, say, a "tall extra-hot non-fat four-pump no-whip mocha" at Starbucks, your receipt simply reads "TL Mocha." When you order, for example, a "Flying Dutchman" or an "animal style" burger off the secret menu at any In-N-Out Burger, it will appear on the receipt just as you ordered it. But nowhere will you see anything even remotely referring to it on the menu posted above the register.
There are about a dozen "standard" off-menu items. A "two-by-four" is a burger with two beef patties and four slices of cheese. You can order any combination of meat-and-cheese you desire: 3 x 3, 4 x 4, etc. Then there's animal style, protein style (no bun, wrapped in lettuce), grilled cheese, flying dutchman, fried mustard, double-meat, veggie, and extra toast. That's just the burgers. Fries can be "animal style," "light," or "well-done." Shakes can be "swirl" or "Neapolitan," meaning two or three of the flavors mixed.
Interestingly, when you talk to the executives at In-N-Out, they seem as mystified as customers by the presence of the secret menu, but they do understand the power behind the compelling value of products that can only be created by their customers. And they understand that to expand the formal menu could only detract from an important reason why In-N-Out is so very popular and successful.

The trail to Hell Roaring Lake is a great wilderness experience for hikers of all skill levels. With just a few short steep sections, the trail climbs gently for most of the 5 miles to the south shore of Hell Roaring Lake, nestled in a thick pine forest below the iconic jagged peaks that the Sawtooth Mountains are named for.
The Hell Roaring Lake Trailhead is located just off of Highway 75, about 15 miles south of Stanley, Idaho.
Very little parking is available at the trailhead, and there are no restroom facilities.
From the parking area, begin hiking on the signed Hell Roaring Trail. This first part of the hike is the most strenuous as the trail climbs more than 300 feet up the foot of a glacial moraine. Thousands of years ago, glaciers carved out the peaks and valleys of the Sawtooth Mountains. The mass of rocks and sediment carried down the mountain in this process are deposited in a geological feature called a moraine. Stop to consider that the moraine the trail climbs marks the base of one of these ancient glaciers where rocks were pushed into a large pile.
Soon the steepness declines and the hiking becomes much easier as the trail continues up the canyon toward Hell Roaring Lake. The creek is visible at times, but for the most part, you will be hiking through a dense Lodgepole Pine forest.
After about 3.5 miles, the trail enters the Sawtooth Wilderness. A hiker kiosk with a self-serve permit station located near the border provides detailed information about the rules and regulations (44.029783, -114.897678). All hikers, regardless of whether you are day hiking or overnight camping, must carry a permit to enter the Sawtooth Wilderness area.
Continue hiking beyond the wilderness boundary as the trail climbs the final distance to Hell Roaring Lake. The view where the trail meets the east end of the lake is one of the best vistas you will find in this densely forested area.
A log footbridge (44.026787, -114.928510) spans the outlet stream from the lake, and the trail continues on the west side of Hell Roaring Lake. There are plenty of great campsites in this area, but please respect designated restoration areas. Campfires are typically allowed but only with the use of a fire pan or fire blanket. Be sure to check current restrictions. Due to the heavy usage in this area, firewood is sparse, so you may prefer to forgo a fire and enjoy the uninhibited view of the stars. The area is regularly patrolled by the forest service.
After crossing a small stream, the trail begins to climb along the steep, forested south shore. Beyond this point there are few, if any, campsites available. Those wishing to extend the hike may continue to Imogene Lake, approximately 4 miles ahead. Round trip hiking distance to Hell Roaring Lake and back to the parking area is approximately 10 miles.
This area is heavily used in the peak summer months. If possible, plan your trip in late spring or early fall to lessen impacts on the area and for more solitude.

|W. Montgomery Watt.
A short account of the life and achievements of one of the great figures of history, this volume also serves as an excellent introduction to one of the world's major religions. Written with objectivity, the book opens with a background chapter on the birth and the early life of the Prophet in Mecca. Dr. Watt tells of Muhammad's struggle to make his way as an untrained orphan in the city's commercial world, and his call to Prophethood as a result of visions. He recounts the writing down of the Prophet's revelations in the Qur'an (with an explanation of its passages); Muhammad's betrayal, expulsion from Mecca, and migration to Medina; and his rise to political power in Arabia. Throughout Dr. Watt makes clear the social and political background out of which Islam was born, especially the influence of Judaism and Christianity.

How India Is Dealing With Malaria
Two third of malaria cases in South-East Asia occur in India. According to the World Health Organization, in 2011, 2.15-million parasitologically confirmed malaria cases were reported, with three countries accounting for 95 per cent of confirmed cases: India (61 per cent), Myanmar (22 per cent) and Indonesia (12 per cent). Both cases and deaths are substantially underreported but these proportions are indicative of the geographical distribution of malaria in the region.
The substantial underreporting could prove to be an enormous problem when it comes to India's progress in eradicating malaria. One study published in the Lancet, a British medical journal, estimates that over 205,000 deaths occur in India due to malaria. The WHO estimates India has around 15,000 malaria related deaths. This enormous discrepancy is a result of substantial underreporting and a large rural population who do not have access to medical treatment or diagnoses. Thus, many deaths occur at home, far out of reach from any malaria reporting facility.
According to the WHO, India is on route to lower its malaria cases by over 50 per cent, moving it toward the "pre-elimination phase" by 2015. However, the underreporting could have drastic effects on this estimate as well as the global urgency with which we treat this problem. Increased reporting of malaria deaths could drastically change the strategies that are used to prevent malaria outbreaks in rural areas.
The evening and early morning hours are peak biting times for many mosquito species, according to the CDC, so consider ramping up your protection or staying inside at these times if you can. But, Conlon warns, other species bite during the day, too. "Whenever you're present, you're on the menu," he says. Flickr photo by ActiveSteve
Garlic has long been rumored to ward off mosquitoes, but there isn't much research to back up the claims. However, garlic does have some healthy benefits, thanks to the powerful antioxidant allicin that gives it its smell and flavor. Adding a little extra garlic to your summer diet certainly won't hurt! Pure garlic oil, on the other hand, when rubbed on the skin will repel mosquitos -- for around 20 minutes -- but it will probably repel everyone around you as well, jokes Conlon. There is one ingestible to avoid, however. The New York Times reports that alcohol is just about the only food or beverage proven to have a true effect on mosquitos, and the bad news is it attracts them. A small 2002 study showed that more mosquitoes landed on beer drinkers than tee-totalers. Flickr photo by lowjumpingfrog
This one is mostly rumor, says Conlon. When they're not feasting on humans, mosquitos obtain some nourishment from plants, so the thinking goes that if you smell like a pretty flower, a bug might mistake you for one, but it's never been proven, he says.
A small study from 2002 found that citronella-based repellents keep bugs away for about 20 minutes or less. While the plant-based oil is thought to smell bad to mosquitoes, it's not highly unpleasant to humans, so if you feel like it works, there's no reason to stop using it, says Conlon, but there may be a bit of a placebo effect going on, he says. The same study found that other plant-based repellents, like geranium oil, didn't provide lasting protection either. However, protection from soybean-oil-based repellents lasted about 90 minutes. Flickr photo by Keith Williamson
Whether you light citronella candles or decorative patio torches, smoke will keep mosquitos at bay, says Conlon. Flickr photo by TedsBlog
The CDC recommends wearing long sleeves, pants, hats and closed-toed shoes instead of sandals to cover exposed skin. In the dead of summer, this might not always be appropriate, but if you have to be outside during dusk or dawn, when temperatures are likely to be cooler, long sleeves may be more practical. "Any exposed skin is 'fair game,'" says Conlon.
According to the Mayo Clinic, taking a daily dose of 75 to 150 milligrams of vitamin B-1 (thiamin) could slightly change your scent in a way that might keep mosquitoes away, but the research isn't conclusive. Flickr photo by seanmichaelragan
Any pools or puddles around your home or yard can quickly become mosquito breeding ground. The Mayo Clinic recommends unclogging roof gutters, emptying any kids' pools, changing the water in any bird baths weekly, making sure rain is not accumulating in trash can lids and storing flower pots or any other unused containers upside down, among other tips you can see here.

"Mosquitoes are bad fliers," Dave Shetlar, an Ohio State University professor of urban landscape entomology told Cleveland.com. Perch yourself near ceiling fans on patios, porches or open-air restaurants that have them. Flickr photo by JMacPherson
These electronic gadgets will wind up killing bigger bugs, like moths, rather than mosquitoes, says Conlon. In fact, an entomology professor from the University of Delaware published a study in 1996 showing that out of nearly 14,000 insects killed by six zappers in one summer, only 31 were biting fliers, Popular Mechanics reported. Another 2,000 were beneficial bugs that keep real pests at bay, and the others were harmless species. Plus, mosquitoes are attracted to dim light, so they may fly toward the zapper initially, but they'll likely turn away from the thing when they get too close, according to Cleveland.com. Flickr photo by hfb
The CDC, Consumer Reports and other outlets recommend this "very good repellent" Conlon says, which, at 40 percent concentration will ward off mosquitoes and ticks. However, it isn't recommended for children under 3, according to Consumer Reports. Conlon explains that isn't necessarily because of toxicity, however. "I think they probably haven't taken the time to get the [EPA] registration," he says, a timely and costly process, when children under 3 can be protected in other ways, like dressing them appropriately, he says. Flickr photo by fairfaxcounty
According to a 2001 study, this natural repellent is 10 times more effective than DEET. Since then, scientists have been studying its repellency, and Dow Chemical is in the process of getting EPA registration for a new catnip-based product, says Conlon. Of course, every consumer will have to weigh the cost and the benefits, he jokes. You'll repel mosquitoes wearing the stuff, but you're likely to attract cats! Flickr photo by cygnus921
This cryptically-named repellent, most well-known as the active ingredient in Avon Skin So Soft, is characterized by the EPA as a "biopesticide repellent," meaning it is in fact derived from natural materials. However, the same 2002 study found this compound protects against mosquitoes for only about 23 minutes. Photo from Amazon.com

Getting Set Up
Getting set up online is not difficult.
The Cyberwing of Your Traditional Bank
To set up an online bank account, you can call your bank and ask to speak to their PC experts. Typically you'll be asked for specific information to verify that you are the account holder, so be sure to remember your name. They'll also likely ask you things like your mother's maiden name, your address, and so forth.
If you're just going to be checking account balances or using their stand-alone Web software, then that's pretty much all the info your bank is going to need.
If, on the other hand, you don't yet have a personal finance software package, then you're going to have to choose one: either Quicken or Microsoft Money. These are both excellent programs that have become increasingly easy to use as the software companies have benefited from customer feedback. Quicken still has the lion's share of the market.
You'll need to set aside time to familiarize yourself with the program, but whichever you choose, the great likelihood is that, over the long term, you're going to save yourself a heck of a lot of time and hassle by using one of these programs. Even if you one day (for some reason) decide that you'd just like to use an Internet-only interface, you'll still have the benefit of a solid foundation in the same principles that underlie that software.
Your bank will also want to know which program you're using and whether you're using Windows or Macintosh.
You'll then need a PIN number (you'll either choose one or it will arrive in the mail) that will give you access to the bank's website. You may also need a customer number, which appears on your ATM card and is separate from the PIN number.
An Internet-Only Bank
Registration for new customers goes something like this (if we hum a few bars, feel free to join right in). First, you select the type of account you wish to open. Then, you complete an electronic application, which you print out. If you don't have a printer, the bank will print it for you. You then sign the form (yes, even in this age of electronic everything, you sometimes need a good old-fashioned signature to kick things off) and mail it in. Alternatively, you may be able to fill out all of the information online, but you'll have to a) send a check, and b) fill out a signature card so they have your signature on file.
When choosing an online bank, you will of course want to check out the bank's website. One of the first indications you'll have of their customer service is the ease with which you can figure out what to do next. Some will have tutorials that will walk you through the process. Go ahead and walk. If you can't figure it out from what's online, that's a pretty good bet the learning curve is too steep.
You might also want to click on the "contact us" button and see what you find. If it includes a phone number (and it should) then call the number. See how long you get put on hold. In short, do any of the common-sense things you might think of when getting involved with a company with which you expect to develop a business relationship.
And finally, is all this online hooey safe?

We are looking to get a microscope. Does anyone have any pointers on what would be a good scope for beeks? Any scopes we should stay away from? The info we've gleaned so far is pointing towards Olympus...?

We are looking to get a microscope. Does anyone have any pointers on what would be a good scope for beeks? Any scopes we should stay away from? The info we've gleaned so far is pointing towards Olympus...?
Ken H.
I can't give you any really useful information myself though I worked with microscopes extensively years ago.
Do you get the American Bee Journal? Randy Oliver, www.scientificbeekeeping.com wrote a 3 part article about Nosema. He wrote extensively about microscopes [ABJ - January,08] but said this: "it is just about impossible for a non-microscopist to make sense of all the options!" He went on to to say he was impressed with the,... "Omano" series from www.microscopestore.com $200-500. It will take some "research" to find the right one for the price. Yes, Olympus is good.
First, beekeepers can and should consider two types of microscopes generally: dissecting (lower power, larger field of view, relies on light reflecting off the subject, good for seeing things like external features of honey bees and features of Varroa mites and counting hairs on the heads of bees, etc.) and compound (higher power magnification, smaller field of view, relies on light transmitted through the subject, good for seeing things like pollen and bacteria and details of tracheal mites and such).
For most bee-related work, a dissecting microscope will do just fine. For more specific work (such as looking at the bacteria that cause foulbrood), a compound 'scope will be necessary.
Swift makes one that's supposed to fill the roles of both microscopes:
I haven't had a chance to try one of these specifically, but I've liked the other Swift microscopes I've used.
(For what it's worth, 400X will not be enough to get a good view of bacteria.)
Thanks for the info!

Do a search......... someone a month or two ago got a dandy off ebay and that seller has bunches.
Closing in on retirement.......
>Does anyone have any pointers on what would be a good scope for beeks?<
Depends on how much you want to spend. A good scope will cost you 300 - 1000, new. There are used scopes on the market. Google microscopes used.
I just bought my first scope. It's an American Optical...probably 25 years old. Was used in a hospital for viewing cancer cells. Very clear and bright. AO scopes were among the tops for quality...and American made. I could have paid less, even for a new scope, but didn't want to buy anything else from China.
Most of the microscope dealers sell used scopes. They take them in trade, when selling new scopes to their clients. Also, most have 1 or 2 year warranties. I paid 600 for mine. Arrived with damage from shipping. Seller sent me another...even upgraded mine to a better model in the same AO 10 series.
My AO is a binocular scope, and has a 10x wide field eyepiece, and 4 objective lenses...4x, 10x, 40x, and 100 oil emersion. Originally, I thought I might need 2 scopes. One for Nosema spores (400x) and a stereo scope for Tracheal mites (40-60x). The scope I bought has 40x and 400x, so I think it will be ok for both uses.

Al-Jazeera trial: BBC's James Harding condemns Egypt verdict
The BBC's Director of News and Current Affairs, James Harding, has condemned the sentencing of three al-Jazeera journalists to seven years each in prison.
Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed were convicted of spreading false news on Monday.
Mr Harding said the corporation was always "wary" of commenting on a story but that it was "important to make clear... that journalists cannot be imprisoned for simply going out and doing their job."
"The whole judicial process here is beginning to look like an act of intimidation," he said.

A land dispute triggered clashes between two groups, with one side firing indiscriminately and leaving four persons, including a father-son duo, injured in district Palwal on Thursday.
The incident took place when Shiv Singh, Raj Kumar and Samay Singh, sons of Laxman of Chaprola village under Palwal Sadar police station, were working in their farmland on Thursday morning.
The police said about a dozen villagers armed with pistols and lathis attacked the family and even fired at them, leaving the father son duo — Shiv Singh and Laxman — critically injured. Two villagers were also injured.
"We are investigating the case," said Jagat Singh Hooda, SP Palwal, adding that some land dispute was behind the attack and firing.

Cracked Screen
● Screen will not function as it once did
● Screen is cracked
Most Android touchscreens use capacitive screens. These screens are made up of many layers that assist the screen by decreasing glare and increasing response time. The layer closest to the surface contains an electrical area that detects changes in the field when a user's touch is detected. Those changes are registered as signals sent to components in the tablet that send them as commands to the software. The other layers are made up of conductive materials and LCD screens that create the actual images on the display. Occasionally users drop or sit on their tablet which can crack the screen. These cracks distort the electric field which will often render the touchscreen useless.
Solutions: Replace the screen
Performance issues
- Device Lag
- Screen Freezes
- Crashes
Occasionally Android tablets will have performance issues which include slow response times, freezing, and crashing. This occurs because of the tablet's software. Whenever a command is issued to the device it is put in a line of commands based on when that command was issued. Usually it's carried out immediately but sometimes the Android software manages it
Solutions:Debug the software, Replace the processor
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi
- Device will not be able to connect to wifi network
- Device will forget Wifi information
Occasionally Android tablets will not be able to connect to wireless networks. This occurs because of the tablet's software. If the tablet wants to connect to a wireless network the router and the phone must agree on rules regarding what data can be sent or received. Occasionally the device's software will not agree on the rules because the Android thinks the router is trying to damage the system. When this happens the tablet will refuse to connect to any wireless network.
Solutions:Debug the software, Replace the network card

They are Adam Rickitt (Nick Tilsley), Susie Blake (Bev Unwin), Iain Rogerson (Harry Flagg) and Katherine Hunt and Thomas Craig (Angela and Tommy Harris).
The decision to ask the five to leave was made by new producer Tony Wood.
Former stars Beverley Callard (Liz McDonald) and Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby) are to return to the show.
Comedian Bradley Walsh also joins the cast - he will play factory owner Mike Baldwin's nephew.
The three actors will all have joined the show by the summer.
A spokeswoman for the soap said the departure of the five current actors was not sudden.
"All the actors in question have made a valuable contribution. The nature of
the show is that characters come and go," she said.
"There have always been characters who come onto the street for a limited
period of time and passed through Weatherfield, as happens in real
communities," she added.
Comic Peter Kay recently starred in a cameo role for two episodes as a dithering drayman who took Shelley (Sally Lindsay) out on a date.
Coronation Street was the UK's most-watched TV programme of 2003, thanks to its serial killer storyline.
Some 19.4 million viewers saw mass murderer Richard Hillman (Brian Capron) drown after killing several characters in the long-running soap.

Relive Miley Cyrus' Scandalous 17th Year! See Pics & Vote For Her Most Shocking Moment!
Girl-on-girl kissing, see-through tops and underage drinking! Which Miley moment shocked YOU the most this year?
Miley Cyrus turns the big 1-8 tomorrow, which means today is officially the last day we get to express our shock and awe at her outrageous underage shenanigans. So let's lament celebrate this momentous occasion by taking a look back at the past year, easily Miley's most scandalous one yet.
- Nov. 20: Miley gets down and dirty with a male guest at her birthday party, held at Hollywood hotspot Trousdale. Photos show him laying on top of her on a couch… and she was NOT complaining!
- Nov. 4: Miley is spotted with a Corona at a club in Madrid, Spain, where the legal drinking age is 18. Unfortunately for Miley, she was not.
- Oct. 12: Miley steps out in a white t-shirt and no bra. Experts told us this was clearly a cry for attention.
- Oct. 8: Miley releases her music video for "Who Owns My Heart," which features tons of grinding and writhing on a bed… but very little clothing.
- Oct. 2: Miley hits up 21+ Hollywood club Voyeur in cut-off shorts and a tiny black half-top.
- Sept. 15: Miley is spotted wearing not one, but TWO see-through tops (showing off her bra) in one day.
- Aug. 24: A video of Miley singing about sex in front of her mom in the bathroom surfaces online.
- June 20: Miley sports a parade of skimpy outfits at the Much Music Video Awards in Toronto, Canada.
- June 3: Miley simulates a girl-0n-girl kiss while performing on Britain's Got Talent, an act she would later repeat several more times.
- May 29: Miley goes totally pants-less at the Rock in Rio Music Festival in Lisbon.
- May 18: Miley lets a back-up dancer grab her breast while performing "Can't Be Tamed" on Dancing with the Stars.
- May 8: Miley releases the art for her new album, Can't Be Tamed, which features a midriff-baring Miley.
- May 5: Miley debuts her music video for "Can't Be Tamed," a guy-filled grope-fest that kickstarts her too-sexy-for-17 reputation.

I've been teaching at Shimer since 2004. I came from Washington, D.C. where I was working on my dissertation, which deals with race relations, utopian communities and communal memories in the U.S. between the 1930s and today. I still research and write on these topics, most recently in an article for a recently published undergraduate textbook on the historiography of the social programs of the New Deal. Otherwise, I am working on an article examining the turn W.E.B. Du Bois' made in the 1930s away from his long advocacy of racial integration. I have lately turned to researching the history of reading. This is the subject of a course for which I received a teaching grant through the National Endowment for the Humanities "enduring questions" program. The question of my course is "Why - and What - Should We Read?"
In Brief
Why Shimer?
All in all, teaching at Shimer has been an indulgence for me. But the real enjoyment comes from the fact that pretty much anything I can imagine doing, in class or out, will likely be in response to the amazing variety of interests and talents that Shimer's students (and staff and other faculty) bring to our common work.
Ph.D., Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts Emory University, Atlanta, GA, 2006
B.A., Liberal Arts (Honors) St. John's College, Santa Fe, NM, 1992
Two years of study toward the BFA at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, 1985 - 1987
I've taught every course in Shimer's core curriculum. I've also taught a number of elective courses including on the history of economics, pragmatic philosophy, the history of reading and canon formation; studio art and art history. Regarding the latter, early in my time at Shimer I taught a course on murals that culminated in designing and painting a 700-square-foot outdoor mural for the public library in Waukegan, IL, Shimer's home for about 30 years before we moved to Chicago ten years ago.
Research Interests
U.S. Social and Cultural History, especially the cultural geography of race; the poetics and sociology of museum displays; modern and contemporary art history, poetry, music; the economics of art; the history of economics and social welfare programs; the history of reading; pragmatic philosophy and its relation to public policy; women and minority representation in science
Other Interests
I've done my best to broaden my academic experience in part simply to try and keep up with the incredible array of interests among Shimer's students. I've gotten to know students' interests quite directly in leading Shimer's program abroad in Oxford over the last eight years. I've set students up for one-on-one tutorials with Oxford's incredible supply of experts in subjects as various as the history of stained glass, Plato on the afterlife, the lute (for performance), color theory, analytical philosophy, creative writing and neuroscience. In a somewhat related vein, I've been taking as much advantage as possible for the freedom we have at Shimer extracurricular events and programs for Shimer students and the school's community in Chicago, including annual interactive programs on the rich history of Bronzeville (our neighborhood in south Chicago), "Read Outs" of banned books, a readers' theaters based on Raymond Chandler's "Trouble is My Business" and the hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s and many other sundry one-off larks.

Great Books, Great Art, Shimer NEH website (with Harold Stone), http://www.shimer.edu/greatbooks_greatart/index.cfm.

"Benjamin and the Chinese Painter," presented to "Real Estate: Transactions in Culture and Space," Third Annual ILA Graduate Student Conference, Emory University, Atlanta, GA. March, 1998.
Awards and Honors
Most recently, I was honored with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to teach a course entitled 'What and Why Do We Read?,' which will examine the history of reading from ancient Greece to the present, and will look closely at the formation and uses of 'canons,' including Shimer's own canon of required readings in its core curriculum.

Man rescued after fall into trash compactor
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - A man was rescued after falling into a garbage compacting pit at least 20 feet deep on Friday.
The supervisor at the Sullivan County transfer station on Brookside Lane in Kingsport told us a customer was dumping garbage into the pit when he lost control of his footing and fell in.
We're told he landed on garbage, not steel, and never lost consciousness. Fire crews told us they immediately turned off the power to the compactor. They used ropes and a basket to lift him out.
Capt. Sean Broyles of the Kingsport Fire Department told us more about the rescue. "We have a technical rescue team here at the fire department. We train regularly," he said. "Most of our rope rescue systems are prepackaged so it's just a matter of putting everything in place and deploying our rope rescue system to get him out."
The victim was taken to the hospital with possible back injuries.
Workers at the transfer station told us this happens about one to two times a year.

an efie would be needed.see what it reads normaly then with the hydrogen.set efie to make correction voltage.just make sure that you know if the hydrogen generator is working while your driving.otherwise you will go insanly lean and possibly melt a piston.a wideband air/fuel gauge might be good to prevent any meltdown.

Yes, it's been done. Look around in the Lounge, you'll find a number of threads on it. If I recall several of our members have tried it or were trying to make it the last I knew of. Weren't you making one Gearhead?
The only one that I know of who actually had it finished and installed, was one of our members who's brother had his mechanic install one on his vehicle. No change whatsoever. They were tweeking around the sensors last I heard, trying to get some change out of it, nada so far.
The laws of science say it can't work, so I'm not going to hold my breath. :roll:
