So you've got THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCH IN PHILIPPINE FOOTBALL HISTORY with all the hype, and you can't even beat a PBA quarterfinals game featuring Ginebra?
Maybe Filipinos aren't ready for football yet. But more probably, you're airing it on a shitty channel that has terrible reach.

rePost:: There is now substantial evidence that the health and schooling of children can be raised by empowering women, and this is precisely what Tunisia did when it raised the minimum age for marriage, revoked the colonial ban on imports of contraceptives, instituted the first family planning programme in Africa, legalized abortion, made polygamy illegal, and gave women the right to divorce as well as the right to stand and vote for election. :: Dani Rodrik's weblog: The unsung development miracles of our time
I score this one against the moralist forces in our country. They are basically against what other countries find successful.
What was their secret? Determined policies to expand educational opportunities and access to health along with a willingness to depart from the conventional wisdom of the day and experiment with their own remedies. Even though all three North African countries are Moslem, empowering of women seems to have played an important role as well:
There is now substantial evidence that the health and schooling of children can be raised by empowering women, and this is precisely what Tunisia did when it raised the minimum age for marriage, revoked the colonial ban on imports of contraceptives, instituted the first family planning programme in Africa, legalized abortion, made polygamy illegal, and gave women the right to divorce as well as the right to stand and vote for election.
What is somewhat puzzling, as Rodriguez and Samman also note, is that these countries have not made nearly as much progress in democratization.
These new "facts" substantially enrich our understanding of the development landscape over the last four decades.

rePost:: Best Read::All the lonely people – Roger Ebert's Journal
Nice post read the whole thing.
When I was a child the mailman came once a day. Now the mail arrives every moment. I used to believe it was preposterous that people could fall in love online. Now I see that all relationships are virtual, even those that take place in person. Whether we use our bodies or a keyboard, it all comes down to two minds crying out from their solitude.
Musings 2010 09 16
- It started sunday night and ended yesterday night, my John Hughes Marathon (Teen flicks + Planes Trains and Automobiles).
Some thoughts:
There is a light that never goes out
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
No, I haven't got one
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
- Pretty in Pink released in 1986 used a single from "The Queen is Dead" 1986 album of The Smiths in its sound track. It's a joy pausing the credits to look at the soundtrack of JH films, specially when the music is this good.
- Found Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) could have been more effective if it wasn't for the fact that I found Watts more attractive than Amanda. This may either be because I really find Watts more attractive or I was feeling for her character, the ever I love her but she loves another may be the real reason.
- For the life of me I can't help but think that Keith was stoned the whole time.
- We have our share of this, from 27 year old actors playing a highschool student (Yep thinking of glee right now) to a teenager playing a much older woman (the 15 y.o. clubber in bad boys 2 comes to mind). I believe for women its more acceptable but for men please please please don't play freshman highschool students when you already have a receding or thinning rag
- from Rilke : For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.

- How changes on how people consume, because of the recession, may make them happier in the long run. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/08/business/08consume.html?_r=3&hpw :here
On the bright side, the practices that consumers have adopted in response to the economic crisis ultimately could — as a raft of new research suggests — make them happier. New studies of consumption and happiness show, for instance, that people are happier when they spend money on experiences instead of material objects, when they relish what they plan to buy long before they buy it, and when they stop trying to outdo the Joneses.

- The story of the Graphing Calculator. A nice piece of skunkworks story of how it got shipped in the mac. http://www.nucalc.com/Story/ : here
Why did Greg and I do something so ludicrous as sneaking into an eight-billion-dollar corporation to do volunteer work? Apple was having financial troubles then, so we joked that we were volunteering for a nonprofit organization. In reality, our motivation was complex. Partly, the PowerPC was an awesome machine, and we wanted to show off what could be done with it; in the Spinal Tap idiom, we said, "OK, this one goes to eleven." Partly, we were thinking of the storytelling value. Partly, it was a macho computer guy thing – we had never shipped a million copies of software before. Mostly, Greg and I felt that creating quality educational software was a public service. We were doing it to help kids learn math. Public schools are too poor to buy software, so the most effective way to deliver it is to install it at the factory.
Beyond this lies another set of questions, both psychological and political. Was I doing this out of bitterness that my project had been canceled? Was I subversively coopting the resources of a multinational corporation for my own ends? Or was I naive, manipulated by the system into working incredibly hard for its benefit? Was I a loose cannon, driven by arrogance and ego, or was I just devoted to furthering the cause of education?
I view the events as an experiment in subverting power structures. I had none of the traditional power over others that is inherent to the structure of corporations and bureaucracies. I had neither budget nor headcount. I answered to no one, and no one had to do anything I asked. Dozens of people collaborated spontaneously, motivated by loyalty, friendship, or the love of craftsmanship. We were hackers, creating something for the sheer joy of making it work.

Their business, started four years ago, bears all the markers that would seem to point toward collapse and extinction in a recessionary economy. It's founded on idealism and emotion. It's riddled with huge and unavoidable inefficiencies. And it tenders a high-end product that asks buyers to take risks and have faith.
You must read this!!!! :: Market Manila – Income Levels / Poverty in the Philippines – General
This is probably one of the top 5 posts I've read about the Philippines this year.
Marketman's Running Survey
In the survey I am running (or if you read this later, survey that I ran), it seems some 40% of readers actually think the Philippines is POORER than it is, in other words, a fairly negative sentiment. Some 24% of you got it right, with roughly 86-88% of the families earning less than PHP25,000 per month for a family of 5. But approximately 36% of you were varying degrees of being overly optimistic, and believed that many more families earned more than they actually do. Okay, so hold this thought for a moment. Roughly 87% of all families in the Philippines, representing 75.7 million people, are living on less than PHP5,000 (USD110) per month per person on average in income.

The nasty thing about small shot as told to me by a trauma doc, is that it's impossible to find all the holes that penetrate the colon, and death by infection is almost a 50/50 certainty regardless of the best treatment.
Although it may not kill immediate, it's almost a poetic and deserving death for some people, lingering and suffering to give them time to really regret their actions. But that's just the sadistic side of me coming out.
" Blessed is that man, who when facing death, thinks only of his front sight"
-Jeff Cooper
Less penetration with lighter shot. Greater risk of going through barriers with deadly energy out the other side with heavier shot. Greater risk of a deadly attacker being able to continue an attack, the less effectively the attacker is stopped. No assurance of having a perfect, COM frontal strike on an attacker, as an attacker can turn, throw up an arm, have some sort of factory or make-shift armor on, or have just ducked through a doorway to attempt hiding behind a wall. That's the decision: whether to lean toward a more-effective stop, or whether to lean toward less down-range risk beyond the target at the expense of a percentage of stopping effectiveness. The decision we all make.

I keep hearing 12" is thru and through, maybe on little thugs. I want to plan for the biggest, meanest SOB on the earth.
A friend of mine was in an incident and had an enraged 6'8" 350 lb man charging him with a chainsaw. That's what I think of anytime I wonder if its enough gun.
I get what he's saying, and if barrier penetration (or lack thereof) was my #1 concern, I guess I could see using birdshot and Glasers.
In my situation, stopping the threat is my #1 concern, so I'll stay with 00 and HSTs, since ATF denied my Claymore stamps.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
nothing tv did not work- gang writing on closet shelf- room heater was very loud. this hotel should have a 1 star rating it is a mess
The bathroom was very clean. The vanity light did not work. I had bites all over my arm, not sure if it was bedbugs or spider. There was a huge cockroach in the vanity area the day we left.
Nothing This place was disgusting. Roaches on the bed and walls. Smoke detector going off in the middle of the night, which was going off cuz of roaches.
It's a dump! By far, the worst hotel we stayed at on a week long trip. Absolutely terrible.
The only complaint I have was the staff did not inform me of the internet services available , they never told me the password so I could use the free services Great location and the price was worth the stay
Cheapest room. Online booking didn't come through and I had to call the reservation line and wait 30 minutes to get checked in. It's a budget hotel, so what do you expect? That said, the rooms need to be cleaned a little more thoroughly. The baseboards hadn't been cleaned in a month at least and there was hair on the sheets. It looked like someone had spilled something on the sheets. I was too tired to ask for another room, but just slept on the other side of the bed. My car was still there in the morning, so that was a plus. Overall, it would work. Probably would feel a little safer with a group of travelers instead of solo.
Quiet Wasn't able connect to wifi.
Nothing Everything. Disgusting and pure trash. Shady people crawling everywhere. Bathroom fan missing and no fridge. Room so small could barely walk.
the prostitutes outside at all hours of the night and day.... the constant loud music from the car outside watching his girls come in and out.......also the towels had black hair all over them like they were not washed and just hung back up.
Absolutely nothing likable about this place Horrible staff. Woman was rude and not knowledgeable and not qualified to interact with guests. She refused to understand that I had already booked online and had the printed confirmation for her to view but she instead ran my card for another room then refused to cancel it. Then she began cursing at me and told me to get out, all the while refusing to cancel or refund my card for either booking. WORST experience I've had traveling to this date, and I do Fequently travel
Comfortable beds and our room was clean. The towels were thin.
The price No wifi,
Great value, good service Tv was too old to set up a dvd player with
Maybe the low price but as bad as everything was it should have been free First set of rooms we were placed in had nasty pee stains all over the sheets and burn marks with holes all over the comforter. No towels or soaps of any kind were given to us. Online it shows beautiful pics of nice rooms. I'm not sure where they took them pics cause it WAS NOT THE BUDGET LODGE. Budget Lodge in OKC off I35 service road is the most nastiest dirtiest false advertising place I have ever seen. Online it states roI'm comes with wifi, microwave, iron,blow dryer and more but NOTHING IS PROVIDED but an old dirty bed, old TV that doesn't work very well, dresser with broken doors, disgusting carpet, walls covered in nasty dirt (Hope it was dirt) a mini fridge that doesn't work and last but definitely not least the bathroom smh was so nasty and the water doesn't get hot at all and it leaks to the floor and remember there is no towels and if u ask for towels they say the housekeeper is not there. Yet my stay was for two nights and NOT ONCE did a hose keeper come check on us. This hotel shouldn't be open..... key never worked either we kept having to go to the office late at night just to get in our room. DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS U USE TO TRAILER PARK TRASH...
Nothing Dirty carpet, bathroom, pillows. It was disgusting.
Nothing This was hands down the worse place I ever stayed. Very very dirty and also has bed bugs. You get what you pay for. Please please do not stay at this place. You have been warned
Easy check in. A community iron was un-appreciated. It was dirty and the facilities were difficult to use - right by the ice maker -it was potential disaster waiting to happen. Please consider a more user friendly set up. Thanks!
thank god they had a room like the one i booked. when i got there they had no record of my reserv. i had my paperwork from computer where i booked with u. i will not do anymore bookings with u. but will use this hotel in the future. na
Nothing!!!!! Very very dirty and staff was very rude!!!!
There were cigarette burns in the blankets. As well as white stains on the blankets. We slept on the sheets with the blankets in the floor.
location was excellent room was nicely equipped a/c unit was fab cause it had a constant fan setting that blocked most of the parking lot noise
Good location for our trip and exceeded expectations. N/A
Convenient Location Small room, loud neighbors, we weren't allowed to swim.
Easy to get to, ground floor, parking by door. Breakfast was not so good, just cereal, toast, old donuts, and such. No fresh fruit, or yogart.
The proprietor was so nice. It was in a dangerous area, lousy lighting, shabby, torn carpeting, dirty, stained bedding. This place was worse than my expectation of a rent by the hour room would be. We stayed 6 hours, and left. Afraid to sleep, let alone what couldn't be seen
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
In need of much repair. The odor of the room was of an aging structure. The atmosphere of the lobby was dark and stuffy. No air conditioning. I didn't feel safe. Cracks around the door frame that I could see through. I requested a new room. It was equally as bad. I ended up not staying there. I only used it to change clothes for a wedding held across the street. It was ghetto. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Actually tried to cancel the room 48 hrs prior to date and was unable to. Bad experience.
Pets allowed (although they charged us $8 extra) There were areas that were inaccessible to customers because this hotel is unsafe. The room was dirty, the carpet badly stained and the room needed a lot of repair, especially in the bathroom. The common breakfast area was much too hot. Disgusting.
Great value and nearest motel to the cowboy museum. Internet, clean comfortable bed, adequate breakfast. Plenty of hot water and adequate air cond. Few things needed upgrading but nothing caused any problems
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Nothing Carpet was dirty; Chair needs to be replaced; Did not use Shower/Tub - needs to be replaced; Bedding did not look clean but had no choice but to sleep in the bed, threw top bedding on the floor; Continental breakfast toast coffee OJ milk cereal
The gentleman who checked us in was very polite. He did a great job. It was older and in need of some upgrading. The tub was very small. It was not exactly what I expected.
The area, while Run-down, was at least quiet. Dead bugs in the bathtub, smelly room, obvious neglect of room/lack of ANY cleaning. We woke up with bug bites. No tissue in the room. 'Continental' breakfast was a joke.
The location The room was dirty, the showers were disgusting and the door didn't shot properly
Room has good space. Ice machine, waffles for breakfast.Good price for a hotel
The room. The staff and the bed was hard as a rock. The Whirlpool didn't work.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Nice and big rooms, beds were very comfortable and you get all these for a good price
close to locations right off highway very busy activity around hotel day and night had kids with us and did not feel very safe
It was real close to my job during the winter storm The plug in sockets is something thay really do beed to be fixed. The ones they had all moved and was unable to plug in nothing. It was something i was very cautious about.
Everything. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Room comfortable and spacious.
Cheap price and friendly staff Our non-smoking room smelled quite a bit like smoke. The rooms are DARK and lighting is poor.
We requested a nonsmoking room and were given one. The room smelled like stale smoke and there were cig burns on the tub. The toilet would not work, but they fixed it. Could not get another room, none available, and could not get a refund.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The room had a microwave and refrigerator which was nice for the family. The rooms were newly refurbished with ceramic tile and granite countertops in the bathroom. The room was clean. The staff was always friendly. I asked for extra towels and they were pleased to help. Overall, I was impressed with what you got for the money. We would definitely stay again!

The end of last year represented the trough in Australian economic growth which would pick up in the first half of this year, boding well for the federal budget, according to HSBC.
The global bank presented its quarterly economic briefing on Monday.
Chief economist Paul Bloxham noted that the historical relationship between commodity prices and nominal gross domestic product suggested an uptick in growth was on the way.
"It suggests at least to some degree that you've seen the trough in nominal GDP growth," he said.
"That it's likely to lift from here – an important story for the budget, an important story for the outlook for the economy overall and an important part for our sense that the soft patch in the Australian economy is behind us."
Commodity prices had improved at the back end of last year and if they could hold these levels though the year, GDP growth would improve.
Mr Bloxham said that while the Westpac-Melbourne Institute consumer sentiment index had slumped in April, the trend was upwards for consumer confidence.
The household savings rate, a gauge of people's confidence and propensity to spend, had probably peaked at about 10 per cent, he said.
"The big period of household consolidation may also be behind us in Australia," he said. "Households have done a fair bit of consolidation of their balance sheets, paying debts off ahead of time, taking on less new credit, and lifting their saving rates."
Mr Bloxham said the Reserve Bank of Australia could not intervene to lower the high dollar without, "great expense".
"They don't really have the capability necessarily," he said. "That's not free. There's no free lunch in this game."
Intervention would mean collecting huge amounts of foreign currency paying low yields and producing Australian currency at high yields, as well as exposure to bonds that have extremely high prices and low yields.

Don't Worry Everybody A Team Of Boston Bred Generals Are Now Running The Afghan War
WASHINGTON _ Taliban beware. Boston is after you. Or at least four of its native sons will soon be in charge of the US-led war against you. That's right, by our count four of the top generals running the war in Afghanistan are all about to hail from the Bay State. At the top is Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, born in South Boston, raised in Quincy and a graduate of Boston College High School. In February, Dunford took command of the 100,000 international troops — 68,000 of them American — who are trying to stabilize the war-torn nation and prepare Afghan security forces to take over the fight. Just under him will soon be Army Lieutenant General Mark Milley, a native of Winchester, who is commander of the Army's III Corps in Fort Hood, Texas, and is set to take command on April 4 of the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command in Kabul. Don't forget Army Major General James McConnville, a Quincy native who commands the 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and earlier this month took over Regional Command-East, one of the deadliest regions of the country that abuts the Pakistan border. Last but not least is Army Major General Paul LaCamera, a native of Westwood, Mass., who commands the 4th Infantry Division, based at Fort Carson, Colorado, which has been operating in Afghanistan's restive southern provinces.
I've never felt safer in my life. Honestly where would this country be without Boston? Well for starters we wouldn't even be a country.. We'd still be part of Great Britain drinking Earl Grey tea like dickheads. The NFL would still be locked out. Nobody would care about baseball. The best franchise in the history of the NBA wouldn't exist. Nobody would have heard of St. Paddy's Day . The Internet wouldn't be funny. MTV would lose 90% of their reality TV characters including CT. The Original Six wouldn't be a thing. Gayballs wouldn't be allowed to get married. There would be no American beer companies left. There would be no Fig Newtons. (they are from Newton. Look it up) Asian kids would have nowhere to go to College. Southie people wouldn't be able to brag that they are from Southie. And most importantly we'd all be getting our shit kicked in by terrorists on the reg. Boston FTW.

ikan PD Movie Air Pro Wireless Follow Focus with 3 Motors
- Wireless Lens Control via iPhone
- For iPhone 6/6S, 6/6S Plus, iPod Touch
- Wireless Operation Up to 300'
- Controls Up to 3 Motors with App
- Includes Controller and 3 Motors
- Controller with Integrated Focus Knob
- 4 Gears Included Per Motor 0.4/0.5/0.6/
- Emergency Halt Motor Function
- 19 and 15mm Rod Mounting
- Integrated 5V USB Power Port
Utilizing the Bluetooth capabilities of your iOS device, the PD Movie Air Pro Wireless Follow Focus from ikan provides a wireless lens control system with 3 Motors that will interface with your device. The hand control unit clamps your iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus, 6S Plus, and the iPod Touch (6th generation) creating a solid, one-piece, wireless hand control solution that communicates with your iOS device via Bluetooth. The hand control unit then communicates using the 2.4GHz band to control the motors wirelessly from up to 300 feet away.
The hand controller unit features a physical focus knob familiar to anyone who has pulled focus on a follow focus unit, and it includes three removable glow-in-the dark marking rings. Each high-torque motor comes with four interchangeable gears that allow you to use the motors to drive cinema- or video-style lenses. The motors incorporate an auto calibration feature with an emergency halt function. The motors can mount onto 19mm rods, and the included 19 to 15mm bushing allows you to mount your motor on 15mm rods.
- The hand control unit provides all the functionality of hardware only units, yet uses your iOS device for much of the control. It connects to your iOS device by Bluetooth, and you do not need to have the device in the clamp for it to interface with the hand controller.
- Three interchangeable clamps are included with the unit, one suitable for use with the iPhone 6/6S, one for the 6 Plus/6S Plus, and one for the iPod touch.
- The integrated focus knob will feel familiar to those that have worked previously with a follow focus unit, thus minimizing any learning curve. It features a large removable marking ring that glows in the dark for when working in dim lighting conditions. A total of three rings are included.
- The system consists of a hand controller and receiver motor, which together can control one lens function, either focus, iris, or zoom. Two slave motors are included with the controller and receiover motor. The receiver motor connects wirelessly with the hand controller, and receives power via a D-Tap power source. Any additional slave motors daisy chain off of the receiver motor for control and power.
- The controller connects to the receiver motor using the 2.4 GHz frequency band, providing approximately 300' line-of-sight range.
- Each motor includes four interchangeable gears, allowing you to work on a variety of lenses with gearing from cine-style to video-style gearing. The included gears are made from durable plastic and are geared with 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.8 MOD teeth. The 0.8 gear is suitable for lenses with cine-style gears, while the 0.6 and 0.5 gears are for Fujinon and Canon lenses respectively.
- An emergency halt function allows you to stop a motor that has kicked free of the lens during the auto calibration function. This prevents you from having to power down the motor, speeding up resets and lessening the likelihood of damage.
- The hand controller incorporates a 5V USB port for charging the unit or for providing power to your iOS device through the included lightning cable. The hand controller features an internal 600mAH battery that can power your iOS device while it is connected to the hand controller for extended battery run time.
- It features 20-user-selectable channels and numerous and expanding lens presets, which you can add to.
- The system requires two antennas to operate, and ikan includes an extra antenna to minimize downtime due to a damaged antenna.

What West, Texas Teaches Us About Chemicals
Last week, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report finding that workplace deaths are up slightly this year. This announcement arrives on the heels of a major explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas that killed at least 14 and left some 200 people injured.
But those casualties are not just of plant employees and first responders, they are also of ordinary civilians who happened to live near a storage site for large quantities of both anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate.
We might not all live near fertilizer plants, but explosive chemicals can be found in storage sites and cargo carriers throughout the country. If there are industrial dangers lurking in our own neighborhoods, how are we kept safe from them?
Jim Morris, a Senior Reporter at the Center for Public Integrity who specializes in coverage of the environment and public health, offers his thoughts on these safety nets and their shortcomings.

Manufacturer: Collegiate (View all products by Collegiate)
Model: Intellect Dressage Saddle with Interchangeable Gullet (View all Intellect Dressage Saddle with Interchangeable Gullet reviews)
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle, new, from a local tack shop for $1200. I could have gotten it cheaper online, but I wanted to be able to test ride in it before I bought. I also didn't want to bother with shipping.
Likes: This saddle is veeery comfortable. The actually seat is nicely padded with a narrow twist that keeps me in the proper, ear-shoulder-hip-heel position. This might be due to the nicely designed flaps and recessed stirrup bars. I ride with a wither relief pad under the saddle, but even without the pad, it fits my horse well and he has more forward movement than he has in the past. The pad helps it even more. With my other saddles, I've had to use breastplates and risers, as my horse is built extreeeemely uphill, and I had a severe problem with it slipping back. Even when my horse has a bucking fit now, the saddle stays right where it's supposed to. The Y-girthing system is also nice, as it distributes the pressure of the girth evenly along the saddle panels.
Dislikes: I've had this saddle for about 3 months, and the stirrup leathers have already caused rubs beneath my legs. It's not that bad, but it has worn a slight bit faster than my others have. It also took a longer time to break in. With 7 day-a-week riding, it took almost a month and a half. But it's now nice and comfortable. The easy change gullet system is also a bit harder to use than it's made out to be. But, of course, that's why it's called the easy-change and not the quick-change. Far easier to use than sending off the saddle.
Quality: The quality, besides the rubs, is exceptional. For such a well-priced saddle, I was impressed. The stitching, billets, and leather is all top-notch.
Summary: This saddle is amazing. Just as nice as the Albions or Bates of the riding world. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

New study sheds light on how and when vision evolved
Bristol UK (SPX) Oct 31, 2012
The study, which used computer modelling to provide a detailed picture of how and when opsins evolved, sheds light on the origin of sight in animals, including humans. The evolutionary origins of vision remain hotly debated, partly due to inconsistent reports of phylogenetic relationships among the earliest opsin-possessing animals. Dr Davide Pisani of Bristol's School of Earth Sciences and colleagues at NUI Maynooth performed a computational analysis to test every hypothesis of opsin evolution pr ... read more

Family Matters: Ballard Siblings Stand out on and off the Basketball Court
By Christopher Duclos
Both on and off the court, Beverly and Johnny Verduin are exceptional kids. They're both starters and standout athletes on Ballard varsity squads and they both maintain solid performances in the classroom.
Junior Guard Beverly Verduin shows up consistently for the lady beavers. Wearing the no. 1 jersey and having a nose for the hoop, she's been sinking in double digit points every game so far this season. She's easily the best scorer on her team, averaging 12.7 points per game for a total of 76 points, as of press time.
Former starting quarterback for the Beavers, Senior Forward Johnny Verduin also takes his athleticism to the court. He is one of the lead scorers on the team, netting an average of 12 per game for a total of 60, and is second only to UMass-recruited Senior Seth Berger (17.2 points per game and a total of 86), as of press time.
Within the family, both Johnny and Beverly were born with the sport of basketball. Their mother Sue Verduin, is a BHS grad and her basketball jersey is retired in the gym at BHS. The Verduin parents can be seen as a key cog in the successes of Beverly and Johnny by helping them improve their game on the court and being hard on them about their grades.
"Our family contribution to Ballard High is pretty cool. You know a lot more people in Ballard when your family is doing their thing, and you know a lot more people at the school," Johnny said.
"It's also really fun, knowing your family plays a big role to BHS," Beverly added.
When asked about how long they have been playing, Johnny gave a long pause to think about how long it's really been since he started playing. "It's a family sport," Johnny offered. "Bev and I have great support for each other, we tend to offer each other advice before and after our games. Whether we win or lose we're always there to talk to each other about it. We usually give a lot of advice after the game."
Both Johnny and Beverly's parents are active in the community, serving as PTSA Presidents at several schools. Their mother Sue has served at Loyal Heights Elementary and Whitman Middle School, while their father John has served at Ballard High School.
Sue is also a former BHS Athletic Booster Club President and current Vice President. Additionally, John involves himself in high school sports by acting as the "Director of Statistical Analysis" for the BHS football and basketball teams.
When asked about sibling rivalry, Johnny stated, "There's a little bit of that; it was fun and games when we were younger, but as we got older we began to get more and more competitive with each other."
Beverly, however, saw it differently. "I'm a little more competitive. It kind of sucks to be known as 'Johnny's little sister.' It's like I'm in his shadow, but at the same time it's fun. We offer each other advice, too."
Of course, by just looking at the statistics (and not minding the difference in their positions or levels of competition), Beverly currently has the upperhand in any sibling rivalry, having averaged more points and a larger overall score.
You can catch the Verduin duo in their next basketball game as both the girls and the boys face Issaquah on Friday, Dec. 21. Girls Varsity starts at 6:30 p.m. and Boys Varsity starts at 8 p.m. The next home game will be an exhibition game against Australia on Jan.

As part of the new year (2015 in this case), I am cleaning up and ridding myself of things that I no longer want either because they stress me out, are no longer all that relevant to me, or a list of other reasons.
To that end, I am all but leaving deviantArt. I have been considering this for quite some time. I haven't posted here in a long time. Even though I do continue to do stuff and post it on the internet, I no longer post it here. In fact, it has been a good month or two since I've even popped in to see what's up. I don't browse anymore and barely even glance at artwork that pops up in my inbox.
On top of that, some shady business practices have come to light to me recently that makes me wish to remove myself from this community.
Still, I have hesitated for a while, wondering if I was just being hasty, but I have decided to do it this year. It's not just one factor, but several that guided this eventual choice.
I am keeping my account because I like my current portfolio and would like to keep it intact, but other than that, I am removing all art and journals.
If you wish to continue following my art, or want to interact with me for some reason, you can follow my Tumblr blogs. The Art of Shadu is one dedicated to my art and design work. NSZypher is my personal blog.
Good luck to you all!

Lock Haven Express (Newspaper) - February 6, 1890, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania son EIGHTH YEAR-NO. 288. LOCK HAVEN, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1890. TRICE-TWO CENTS. EVENING EXPRESS KIKSIiOE BKOTHKKS - - - PCBtlSHKKS A TRIED AND TRUE TREASURER, Why should the people of Lock Haven ohange their present efficient City Treas-arer for a man unacquainted ^ith the exacting and responsible duties of the office? Joseph Grafius has faithfully and intelligently performed every duty devolving upon him since he entered the office nearly four years ago. The taxpayers have found him an agreeable and obliging official-all are treated alike. Every effort has been made to promptly collect the taxes and all orders as promptly cashed. His reports in City Council are always on time and all models in their way. Intact, he has made a careful study of the duties of the office, that the best results may be obtained for the benefit of the city. It takes time to do this, even when a man does his best, and now that Mr. Grafius has mastered every detail connected with the Treasuryship he should be retained to conduct the office for another two years at least It is a very important office and one in which few changes should be made, especially when the city has such an ex ccllont Treasurer as Mr. Grafius has proven himself to be. It is not a matter of politics, but of business. A few years ago when L. H. McOill was Treasurer he was re-elected as long as he could fill the office, and although a Democrat, the Republicans declined to nominate a candidate against him when he ran the second time. This was right and proper, for during his first term Mr. McGill proved himself the right man for the place. Mr. Grafius has also shown by his past record to be exactly the man for the office and the taxpayers should keep him there. Vote for Grafius.

Smale, Chairman, to make the necessary arrangements, and as this company have the reputation of conducting everything under their management in first-olass style, it needs no commendation of ths press to make it a success.

The Historic Boom Crowded With Monro inn Hundreds Who Had Gathered Take Part In the Funeral Services Over the Remains or Mrs. Benjamin Tracy and Her Daughter. WASniKotoK, Feb. 5.-The beautiful historic east room of the executive mansion, the scene of so many varied speota oles of brill iautjeeremony, of social gaiety, was to-day devoted to the sadly contrasted and solemnly impressive purpose of a funeral. Very seldom has any similar scene been witnessed at the White House; and never since 1865, when the remains of the lamented Linooln reposed amid the same surroundings. The services over the remains of the wife and daughter of Secretary of the Navy Tracy were appointed for 11 o'clock, but long before that hour the Eaat room was crowded with people desirous of paying their last tribute to their departed friends. A THOD8AND IN TUX WHITE HOUSE, It was a most distinguished gathering, and included nearly everybody of prominence in Washington. Arrangements bad been made for sealing 330 persons, but over 500 managed to gain an entrance. All the doorways leading to the East room were also thronged with people, and it is estimated that there were nearly a thousand persons in the house. The caskets containing the dead were placed side by side under tbe central chandelier, and directly opposite the main corridor. Tbe sombre drapings of the caskets were almost concealed by beautiful designs ot emblematio flowers. One particularly beautiful wreath was placed on Miss Tracy's casket by her young friends, the Misses Proctor, Miller, Vfanamaker, and Rusk, and tbe Misses Windom. Both ladies were borne by sailors detailed from the United States steamer Despatch. THE SERVICES. Shortly after eleven o'olock tbe Schubert quartette sang the hymn "I Cannot Always Have My Way." Soon afterward Secretary Tracy and his son Frank entered walking arm in arm, followed by other relatives of tbe deceased and President and Mrs. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. McKee, and Secretary and Mrs. Blaine. Tbe oboir of St. John's Episcopal Church sang Cardinal Newman's famous hymn, "Lead Kindly Light, Amid the Encircling Gloom." Religious services followed by Rev. Dr. George W. Doughlass, of St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church, and Rev. George Elliott, of the Foundry Methodist Episcopal Churoh. THE CLOilNQ SCENES. Upon the oonolusion of the servioes tbe President, with Secretary Tracy on his arm, passed out of the room and next to tbem came Mr. Frank Traoy, the son, who was so overcome that be had to bo supported by two of the ushers. The bodies were removed to the hearses and the funeral procession was formed, the cortege moving slowly to Rock Creek Cemetery, just beyond the soldier's home where tbe bodies were placed in a receiving vault to await Secretary Tracy's determination in regard to their permanent resting place. Seoretary Tracy did not go to the oemete-ry as it was feared the task might prove too much for his strength. The President occupied the carriage with Mr. Frank Tracy. A long line of carriages containing nearly all of those who attended the services at the White House followed tbe remains to the cemetery. CONSIGNED TO THE TOMB. The procession went all the way to the cemetery in a double line. Tbe course was directly toward the public vault, and the long line baited as the two hearses stopped before the open vault. Frank Traoy, leaning on ths arm of the President, stood beside tbe body of bis sister. He was deeply moved. Mrs. Harrison stood directly behind them, and in a small circle that stood near were several of the friends of the family. Secretaries Windom, Noble and Kuak also left their carriages to join tbe group, but almost every one else remained seated in their carriages while the services, which were very brief, were in progress. After tbe services for tbe dead had been read tbe bodies were laid away in a vault wbioh almost filled with flowers. true. The scent of a dog is so keen that it detects any unusual odor in the atmosphere, and its natural intelligence, which uninformed people spqa� of as instinct, teaches it that danger exists for the persons whom it regards with affection Therefore it seeks to awaken tbem and, of course, it is successful if it is anywhere near them. Let me recall to your mind an inoident that came olose to being snoh a tragedy as that of the Tracy residence. It occurred come years ago in tbe home of a Mr. Fisher, a wealthy grain exporter in Baltimore, the fire started in the rear portion of his splendid bouse and burned away the back stairs before reaching to tbe front struoture. Mr. Fisher and his wife slept in tbe second-story front room. Mrs, Fisher's pet was a toy terrier that always passed tbe night on a rag at tbe foot of her bed. The flames had not even shown at any of tbe windows when the dog was aroused. It ran to the bed and persistently barked. Mr. Fisher ordered it away and at last slapped it to enforce his command. Still the faithful dog stood firm and barked its shrillest and loudest, Thoroughly awakened from his sleep, Sir. Fisher arose to discover what the trouble was and found the odor of smoke. He threw open the door and saw the fire that was eating its way towards his apartment, But he bad time enough to spare to arouse his wife, to secure the jewels, money and other valuables that were in tbe room, and to make an escape to tbe street. That dog saved the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher and enabled them to bring away thousands of dollars in cash and jewelry. Thousands of dollars could not have afterward bought the little animal, and when he died his skin was stuffed and mounted and is now a relic in tbe present Fisher mansion." Marion Harland*. Appeal to Women. Marion Harland, the friend and helper of women everywhere, has taken up the work of restoring the rained monument marking tbe burial place of Mary tbe tbe Mother of Washington. One hundred years ago this venerable woman was interred in private grounds near Fredericksburg, Virginia. In 1833, the corner-stone of an imposing memorial was laid by President Andrew Jackson. A patriotic oitizen of New York assumed the pious task, single-handed, but meeting with financial disaster, was compelled to abandon it. Marion Harland says truly-in her appeal to the mothers and daughters of America to erect a fitting monument to ber who gave Our Country a Father-that 'the sun shines upon no sadder ruin in the length and breadth of our land, than this unfinished structure." The publishers of 77i� Home-Staktr, of which Marlon Harland Is the editor, offer, as tbeir contribution to the good eanse, seventy-five cents ont of every annual subscription of two dollars to tbe Magazine sent in during tbe next six months. Every suoh subscription must be accompanied by tbe words, "For Mary Washington Monument." Entered the Ministry. Geo. W. Evans, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. . Evans, this city, has entered tbe ministry as will be seen from tbe following taken from the Cumberland, Md., Timet: Mr. George W. Evans, who has been the gymnasium instructor of tbe Young Men's Christian Association of tbis city for the past year, has tendered his resignation to tbe Association and accepted a call as pastor of the Mission Church of the Methodist Episcopal Conference of this oity. Mr. Evans' entered upon bis new duties as pastor January 1st, 1890, and will enter tbe conference proper in March next and become a full Hedged minister of the gospel. Mr. Evans is a young man of unusual ability and bids fair to become a sbining star in tbe ministerial firmament. Docs as Guard. Against Fire. Philadelphia Inquirer, Keb. 6. Speaking of tbe calamity in the residence of Seoretary Traoy, at Washington, a dog fancier remarked yesterday that if there had been one one or more dogs in tbe house no life in alt probability would have been sacrificed. "Thcro are," be said, "scores of well attested instances on record of house dogs being awakoucd by the first smell of fire or smoke and making such a racket as to compel tbe sleepers to arouse in time to save their lives. Many such narratives can be found in your newspaper files, and I don't doubt but what they are The State Shonld Build the Main Roads. From the Erie Dispatch. Tbe remedy for bad roads seems to be in State aid, which, however, does not mean improvement of every road at the expense of tbe Commonwealth. Only tbe main highways oonneotlng business centres and extending from county to oouoty should be repaired with money out of the State Treasury, leaving tbe short roads leading to different sections ol tbe townships to be paid for by the people direotly benefitted by keeping them smooth and dry at all seasons of the ydar. This appears to be tbe praotical view to take of tbe problem, and uniformity in road laws with State help will be pretty certain to bring tbe relief that has been withheld too long.

LATEST NEWS ABOUT THE CITY A Political Joke-The Kettle Creek Railroad-Inspecting a Brldce-The Norris-towaCaiumandery-Money For the Home -Firemen's Ball-Patronized Ubrrally-All Next Week. John J. Shaffer, the popular insurance man, is having considerable fun at the expense of George P. Shaffer, the Democratic candidate for City Treasurer. Shaffer, tbe insurance man, is a staunch Republican, and the quiet fan he is having grows out of the fact that a number of prominent Democrats who have no acquaintance with tbeir candidate think John J. is tbe man, and have been doing all they oan to secure his election. It is a pretty good joke on the prominent Democrats and shows that they have but little acquaintance with tbeir candidate for City Treasurer. For further information on the subject inquire of John J. Shaffer, at Welliver & Co.'s insurance office. All Next Week. Kittie Rhoades and her very excellent company will be in this oity all of naxt week at the Opera House, playing at popular prioes 10, 30 and 30 cents.

Tbe locomotive will be a small one, with a low stack, so that it may pass under the bridges. Andrews' Confeielon. The rumors in regard to Al'ttrt Andrews having oonfessed his orime of killing Miss Clara Price seems to have some foundation. A telephone message to the Express to-day from Bellefonte says Andrews oonfessed to Mr. MoCacn, of Plill- psburg, that he killed the girl. He says tbat later on he will tell where the pistol with wbich he took Miss Price's life is ooncealed. Saturday afternoon at 2 'clock is the hour fixed for imposing sentence upon Andrews.

Mr. Daniel Dougherty, whose address beiore the Roman Catholic Congress at Baltimore is too recent to have been forgotton, flndaa staauch controversialist in Mr. Henry Charles Le�, author of the "History of the Inquisition." Mr. Lea buckles on his armor to show that it is with good reason the people of this country fear to put Roman Catholics in high places inasmuch as the fealty of the latter to tbe Church 1b stronger than their loyalty to the government. "Tbe Political Paradox" of Mr. Leonard W. Bacon seems to be, so far as we can ascertain, entirely in the mind of the writer. Rook Aeivs for February contains a portrait OX Mr. Gilder, editir of the Century Magazine. Mr, Glider's lather was tbe publisher of the Philadelphia Repository, and his grandfather, John Glider, was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature and laid the corner-Btone of Glrard College, Young Gilder, so Hook Xcws says, and Hans Breltman were both members of the summer of 13G8.

This Is a discussion between the RU Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Hon. J. G. Blaine on the Tariff, Mr. Gladstone advocating Free Trade and Mr. Blaine Protection. Whatever can be said on one side and the other of this subject will be said In these articles In the most telling and impressive way by these two great masters of controversy. Mr. Gladstone's article will occupy between twenty and thirty pages of the Review, and Mr. Blaine's reply will be about the same length. If not longer. It will be a battle of Intellectual giants. The articles will be published simultaneously, by Mr. Gladstone's consent, and, as they take up so much Bpace, tbis issue of the AY.uew will be enlarged to admit of the usual number and variety of papers on important and tl mely topics.

Broilers and Roaster*. Gcrmantown Telegraph. => There is money In market poultry to the right man. The right man is the one who carefuily manages his business, and watobeB cbanoes. BroilerB and roaBtors are io do en and, and it pays, to get tbem in just in time. Again broilers and roasters oan be made more profitable than is generally done. For instance, a man who would depend upon tbe Brahmas or Cochins for broilers,would not be able to get them in the market in season. And the man who would raise Leghorns or light breeds generally for roasters would dud tbat tbe amount of feed consumed would not leave much of a margin on tbe weight obtained. Hence it becomes necessary to have our orosses. Hero are some for broilers; Iloudan on Brahma or Cochin ben; Game on Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte; White Leghorn od Brahma; Wyandotte on any hens heavier: Leghorn on Plymouth Rock. For roasters: Brahma on Cochin; Wyandotte ou Brahma or Cochin; Langsban on Brahma, Cochin, of Plymouth Rock. Theso are but a few of the many crosses tbat cau be made-but they take the lead. A woll-known fancier told the writer that ho had excellent success keeping Wyandottes for broilers and tbe Light Brahmaa for Toasters.

Dr. Johnson then wrote to Mr. Sutherland, who was at that time running as a candidate for tbe House of Assembly, stating tbe facts, aud also informed some others of the discovery, among them Attorney General Neal McLood. During all this time tbe medicine was closely, watched, but nothing waB found in it. Tbe case has been rendered more sua pioious by tbe sudden disappearance of Mrs. R. T. Weeks, ;widow of Robert T. Weeks, once tbe law partner of Sutherland. Mrs. Weeks left Charlottetown at 2 o'clock Saturday morning with a team hired from a livery stable, and a thickly-veilad woman arrived at Cape Traverse a short time before the courier started on tbat day, and insisted ou being carried over, and rumor has it tbat sbe paid $20 for her passage. Her sou, wbo was present at the time, and heard her speak, asserted tbat tbe voice was that of Mrs. Weeks. Sbe bas been arrested in St. John, New Brunswick, and Police Marshal Cameron has left to bring her here. Mrs. Sutherland lies in a very critical condition, aud slight hopes are entertained of her recovery. Sutherland is a law partner of Hon. L. H.

A minister, it is said, preached an eloquent sermon on ''Tbo Recognition of Friends ia Heaven." A man in the congregation stepped up to tbe minister at the close of the sermon and said : " I thank you for what I have heard, and I suggest that you next preaob a sermon on " The Recognition of Friends on Earth," For, said he, " X have attended your church for five years, aud have never yet had recognition from anyone."

The Pittsburg man wbo saw bis future wife in a vision and afterwards met and married tbe object of bis dreams under very mysterious and romantio circumstance is not prepared to recommend tbat peculiar mode of selecting a partner for life. It did not work with him. He thought for sure that he had found bis affinity, but he hadn't, and hia marriage not to put too flne'a point on it, proved a failure, and bas been followed by divorce. This thing of getting married is a risky business anyhow, but none of tbe newfangled ways of going about it have been conspicuously successful.

Our branches are always looking for willing volunteers who want to become an ambassador for CIPD and the profession and to offer helping hand in shaping the branches' offer for fellow CIPD Members.
