Hearts Uplifted
Or, How to Sing Your Way Out of Hell
by Anthony Esolen
A red light glares over the broken city. The ground everywhere is buckled, deformed by a strange pressure from within and without, humped and hollowed as mudflats by the sea. Objects stick out of it at odd angles. They are open tombs, their slabs hanging beside.
All life here is dead, and death alone lives. Still, prompted by man's hunger to know, which is also a natural expansiveness of the heart, the traveler asks his guide whose tombs they are and whether he can peer within or speak to any of the imprisoned souls. The wise Virgil replies that they are in the cemetery of the heretics, and that each tomb is crammed full of men who followed the same error.
Bent Souls
Most prominent are the disciples of Epicurus, who asserted that the soul dies with the body. That prominence is just. The fundamental heresy, that which most foolishly misconstrues the world, is to believe in the rule of nothingness, or death. If God is pure act, if his very essence is his own act of existence, then to believe in death is an affront not simply to God's goodness or wisdom, but to his very being.
Behold the open lid of the tomb, and that narrow little window whence the souls, for a time, can rise, expand the chest, and look up. Not at the stars; for the souls in Hell are prave, crooked, wicked, fixedly bent awry from their inborn desire for the kingdom above. So says Charon with savage glee, greeting them as they gather on the Acheron to cross over to their eternal woe: "Nevermore hope to look upon the skies!"
Birds may navigate by those lights far away, but only man looks up to them in wonder, sensing in them a home not here, and an adventure to come. Imagine no stars, no sky, but the close, dismal ceiling of Hell. In the case of the heretics, even that little shall be taken away. Says Virgil, of the lids:
Behold the cramped world of the materialist, wherein beauty is a neural tic, goodness an adaptive feature like a thumb or a tonsil, and the stars no more than tiny sputterings of decay in a vast and purposeless morgue.
Reason can demonstrate that it is not so, but there is something glorious in the heart of man that anticipates reason with bully laughter, roaring out that if that is the world, then its greatest mystery is how man ever got into it, because it certainly is not a world for him. Paint a spangled sky above his cage and the canary is happy, but man is a sort of creature who suffocates without infinity.
He dwells within his skin and knows he must someday return to the earth. Yet he gives thanks for skin and earth and sea and sky, thanks to Someone other, Someone beyond. If he ever should be persuaded that there is no one to thank, he must curl in upon himself and wear the hours away dabbling in trivialities and selfishness. He must be thankful, or he will lose what makes him man. When he ceases to praise, he begins to die.
Full Hearts
If, as Christians affirm, man is made for God, then man is made for praise. But what is praise?
Not so long before the time of Dante, a little poor man roamed the hills of Umbria, half-literate yet preaching the word of God to merchants and beggars and, if we are to trust the legends, and in his case I see no reason to doubt them, to birds and to one notorious wolf, whom he persuaded, by means of elementary catechism and a guarantee of a daily dinner, to leave the good people of Gubbio in peace.
I speak of St. Francis. If there ever was a man who could help us define praise, Francis is not he, but if we want praise in its purity, we cannot do better than to overhear him singing his famous canticle of the sun:
Far from asserting himself in the presence of God, Francis gives him all the glory, and, delightfully enough, seems to glory in the infinite distance between them. One hears always the laughter of Francis, his breathlessness, as he addresses the Almighty and is all the more enraptured because God is almighty. "Praised be you, praised be you!" he cries again and again, for praise is the expression of a full heart, of our joy when we behold the excellence of another.
When we praise God, we surely render unto him what he does not need. But for precisely this above all do we praise him, that he does not and cannot need our praise. There is always something bravely extra about praise, something overbrimming, like a zucchini flower or a bird of paradise. In this sense it resembles creation itself, as Francis saw:
God did not need to create, but created in exuberant love all these spangled things that by their very existence reflect Him Who Is. And man who looks upon these things, man who alone among mortal creatures can see and love the playfulness and gratuitous beauty of the fire, gives God praise in return, a grateful heart for the grace of creation.
Such praise on our part is far more than a decorative finial; it springs from the core of our beings. Scripture tells us that God made man in his image and likeness, and therefore gave him dominion "over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth," graciously deigning to rule his own creatures by means of the rule he grants to man.
And as by our good stewardship we share in God's dominion, so by our praise we share in the glory of his creative act itself, because then our gratitude, which seeks nothing for itself beyond the joy of its own expression, mirrors the grace of God.
Loved Works
He is the One infinitely to be praised, and we, made in his image, glory in his glory, and are likened unto him by praise. The sixteenth-century English poet Philip Sidney captures the relationship most memorably:
That is why, when we behold beauty in wonder, our hearts are lifted closer to the eternal maker of that beauty, and we share in that beauty; it is the most wondrous thing about us. St. Francis saw the glory of God in the birds and the streams and the stars, in all the creatures of our God and king. He was not imagining it; he was no jaded primitivist! He was in love with God and longed more than anything to praise him aright.
Therefore he fell in love with God's works. Most of us, not so clean of heart, must be led to God as Thomas Aquinas says, pedetentim, step by step, beholding things about us whose beauty we can sense.
So it was with Dante, whose first object of praise was the beautiful woman named Beatrice; and at the top of the mount of Purgatory when the poet has been cleansed of his vices, that beauty he loved is not drowned in the beauty of God but is returned to him, overbrimming more than ever. The ladies Faith, Hope, and Charity intercede on the poet's behalf, that Beatrice may heap blessings upon him and grant him to behold not only her eyes, but her smile:
The poet, lifted beyond himself, can only end the canto in speechless praise:
Sung Praise
Now there is something about Dante's rapture here that may escape us, so easily do we take it for granted. The ladies, note, do not simply beg Beatrice's favor—they sing their request. And Dante does not simply say he has nothing to say. He sings it too, blending the harmony of his verse with the harmony of Heaven and the free gleaming of the beauty of his beloved.
He who sings prays twice, said St. Augustine, and we must not think that that is simply because song engages our feelings more immediately than does the spoken word. If language is merely an economical device for signifying, then song must be wildly unnecessary; it is as silly and unnecessary as play. But then it is most fit for praising the Lord who made us.
In Hell there is no praise, and therefore no joyful superabundance, no singing, and no play; instead, a small-hearted withholding, wordless groans, ominous silence, immobility. It is a sort of perpetual Cocytus interruptus. In Hell we have the clipped speech of Camiscion de' Pazzi, who identifies his fellow traitors in the ring of ice just to get rid of the poet sooner, "so that you won't weary me with talk."
So the heretic Farinata identifies, in his tomb, "Frederick the Second and the Cardinal," and will not deign to speak of the rest. So when the glutton Ciacco tells Dante that the great Florentines of his youth dwell with the damned, he cannot be troubled to give the details, but simply says, "Go far enough and you will find them all." When that soul falls silent, Virgil says he will not speak again until the trump of doom.
Most terrible is the silence of Satan, imprisoned in ice, flapping his wings forever like an automaton, like a parody of an intelligent, willing, living thing. Forever he refuses to acknowledge the power of God; forever he seeks to rise by his own power, and forever therefore his wings raise the very gale that reduces the river Cocytus to ice and imprisons him in its perpetual bonds.
No praise, no play. Slapstick, maybe. The grafters attempt forever to trick the harpoon-plying demons, popping up out of the boiling tar when their enemies aren't looking. If that is sport, it is a tarred and crusted parody of it, an endless, pointless, tedious attempt to deceive.
Purgatorial Play
But as soon as the realm of grace returns in Purgatory, singing and play return too. The souls ready to disembark upon the shores of the mountain are leaning forward together, singing that burial psalm which is also a song of hope for the land flowing with milk and honey, " When from the land of Egypt Israel came."
And when one of them recognizes Dante and they have a happy and pleasantly silly moment of greeting, Dante asks him, if he can and may sing, whether he will sing one of Dante's old love poems. He can and may, and even though he sings absent-mindedly (for the souls do have the more urgent business of prayer at hand) the song is still playful and harmless:
More than that, the singing is an echo of playfulness to come. When Dante reaches the top of the mountain, he dreams of a beautiful lady in a meadow of flowers, culling them and singing, as if the most useful thing in the world were to gather up beauty for beauty's sake, and the most wondrous thing simply to gaze in wonder:
The glass or mirror before which Rachel and Leah gaze in delight is none other than the mind of God. The metaphor may help us see the essence of play, and the playfulness of praise. For, as the historian Johan Huizinga argued in Homo Ludens, play in its purest form is not entertainment, or business, or emotional escape, but an entry into a sacred space. It suspends the world about us, perhaps for deeper or more joyful entry into that world. It is an engagement, often light-hearted enough, with the mystery of being.
So it is no accident that our liturgies have been degraded along with our sports: Preachers and wide receivers both cavort in the end zone, calling attention to themselves. If sport is a business, then so is church, with its own franchises and free agents; if sport is a healthy diversion or a force for social change, then so is church, with its faddish feminism and easy approval of this or that political cause.
Thus our praise of God is reduced to work or to sport that has lost the heart of play. It is for the workday, or for the weekend, which is indistinguishable from the workday in any case. It does not raise us beyond ourselves.
Freely Given
But that is true servility. What a low ceiling beetles down upon the materialist, and how bare are the walls of the church that does not sing, first and last, as expressing the fundamental relationship of man to God, "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!"
The old Tlingit Indians, notes Huizinga, made an extravagant display of their freedom by a ceremony called the potlatch. They would put on an enormous feast, invite friends and rivals both, and what wealth they did not consume they would throw into a huge bonfire. Then the rival would be compelled by honor to try to put on an even bigger potlatch the next year.
Apply such wild play to our praise to the Lord, and the two great meanings of freedom merge. If we want to be free, that is, at liberty, we must be free or openhearted with our praise for God and all his works.
Freely we were given; freely at every moment we are given our existence itself, upheld alone by the free grace of God. Then let us give freely in return. The man who cannot praise can neither sing nor play nor escape the cold shell of his self-regard. Satan's sin was pride, but in act it was his fundamental rejection of God's free grace. Satan the sober fell by ingratitude.
But the free man is given everything in return, freedom for freedom and praise for praise, good measure, shaken down and brimming over. So the souls rejoicing in Paradise do not restrain their delight:
Nor do they lose sight of the material world, that to which the materialist heretics reduced all things and mistook by so doing. The heretic Farinata tells Dante what will happen when the material world as we know it meets its consummation. At that time the damned will suffer an enclaustration far worse than the spatial. For the lid on the tomb is a lid on man's heart and mind besides:
"Hence you may clearly see that evermore
Unnecessary Act
Not so for the saints. At the end of the Paradiso, looking upon the face of God, Dante is granted a vision of that great unnecessary act of love, the creation itself:
We do not praise our freedom but gain freedom by praise, as we blurt out with Peter in wise and foolish ecstasy, "Lord, how good it is for us to be here!" Not good for God, but for us. We are made for that exaltation, as of the high-spirited David playing before the Lord.
We are made for praising him who wills for us no day but the everlasting Sabbath, no lid but the vast sweep of the heaven of heavens; no tomb, nor even treasure-box, but the stars shutting in Christ and his mother and all his hallows. There, by the indwelling fire of Love, will those same blessed saints be made worthy of praise: beautiful and playful, robust and strong.

It can't be seen, but it lies just eight kilometers beneath the Earth's surface and could wipe out the United States. It's a sleeping giant that's been at rest for more than 600 thousand years, but it's eruption is a potential catastrophic event that could kill millions. It's a supervolcano.
'World's Untold Stories' explores one of the world's largest supervolcanoes, the crosshairs of which sit squarely in the United States' Yellowstone Park. Though its last eruption was millenniums ago, in 2004, scientists noticed the ground starting to 'heave', rising upward as high as 2.8 inches a year. This activity has caused geologist Bob Smith and colleagues at the U.S. Geological Survey to keep an eye out for further clues that may allude to an upcoming eruption. While there's no way of knowing exactly when the next eruption could occur, experts know for certain it would be devastating.
Rather than taking the shape of a single mountain, supervolcanoes have a crater-shaped depression called a caldera. The caldera of the Yellowstone supervolcano is 1,500 square miles. In 1980, the United States experienced a considerable eruption from Mount St. Helens. However, Mount. St. Helens' crater is only two square miles, making the opening of the supervolcano more than 700 times larger. This means it could spew 8,000 times more ash and lava, which physicist Michio Kaku says would "wipe out the United States as we know it".
In this documentary, 'World's Untold Stories' addresses the key questions: How do these supervolcanoes form? When will the next Earth-shattering eruption come? And, is there any way to control one of the largest volcanoes on Earth?
CNN will kick off its coverage of the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention with two new, 90-minute documentaries on Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, the two men vying for President of the United States in 2012. Both profiles feature interviews with the candidates, members of their inner circles who know them best, and perspectives from people they have encountered on their separate paths to political prominence.
Romney Revealed: Family, Faith, and the Road to Power is reported by CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger and will premiere Sunday, August 26, from 8:00pm to 9:30pm ET & PT, the evening before the RNC begins in Tampa, FL. Obama Revealed: The Man, The President is reported by CNN chief White House correspondent Jessica Yellin and will debut Monday, September 3, from 8:00pm to 9:30pm ET & PT, the night before the DNC begins in Charlotte, NC.
"We're very pleased we were able to work out access to both presidential candidates so that we could produce comprehensive portraits," said Bart Feder, senior vice president of programming for CNN. "These documentaries deliver informative, nonpartisan political reporting, revealing surprising facets of these men's lives, and what has shaped them, just before they take center stage at their conventions." FULL POSTTranscripts of both documentaries will be posted on CNN.com after they air.

Kinsey's second coming
Page Tools
Liam Neeson, who plays sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, says: "There was a headline I read somewhere - Kinsey: Liberator or Pervert? - and, really, it summed up the spread of opinion."
Photo: Supplied.
Fifty years on, Alfred Kinsey is still controversial, reports Phillip McCarthy in New York.
What would Professor Alfred Kinsey, the pioneering sex researcher of the 1940s and 1950s, make of it all now? By documenting just how much sex was really going on at the time - in bedrooms, backseats and the occasional barnyard - he helped end the tyranny of one-size-fits-all sex. That concept was summed up in a phrase applied to the era's outward etiquette of dull but decent sex: the missionary position.
But, 50 years later, the missionary position is making a comeback, of sorts, on Kinsey's home turf, America. It's not sexual positioning any more - it's too late to recall the Karma Sutra, reproductive freedom, Viagra and six seasons of Sex and the City - as much as political posturing.
In the current climate of assertive Christian fundamentalism - where a highly politicised segment of the electorate accept creationism and embrace Old Testament-style social prohibitions - Kinsey probably has an approval rating lower than that other heretic - scientist Charles Darwin. But, culturally speaking, Kinsey is the undead - back to haunt the wowsers with his flaws, his figures and his findings, and lots of them want to drive a stake through his heart. Again.
"The reaction long before the film came out was scary," director-writer Bill Condon said. "It was like we had made not a biography of a flawed, important man, but propaganda for adulterous gay sex. And I hadn't even finished cutting the film."
Kinsey stars charismatic Oscar nominee Liam Neeson. It probably didn't help that the film came out in the US a few days after George W. Bush won a "morals vote" election and 11 states banned gay marriage.
Almost 50 years after his death, the good professor has wound up back in the trenches of the culture wars.
He was, after all, bisexual and a steady drumbeat of detractors over the past 20 years have made all sorts of lurid allegations about his research and his methods.
Still, there is no media aphrodisiac quite like controversy and Kinsey, despite the rumpled suits and bad haircut, has been having a mini renaissance.
There were two literary biographies in two years - a hostile American one in 1997 and a sympathetic British one in 1998 - and a novel, The Inner Circle, which treats the Kinsey clique in the 1950s like a Jackie Collins potboiler.
Condon's film - which stars another Oscar nominee, Laura Linney, as Kinsey's more free-spirited wife, Clara - is a bit more serious. Condon, 49, was nominated for an Oscar in 2003 for his screenplay for Chicago and won an Oscar four years ago for his script for Gods and Monsters, a cleverly original biopic of a lesser 1950s-era personality, the Hollywood horror director James Whale. Condon also directed the movie in which Ian McKellen played Whale.
Neeson with on-screen wife Laura Linney.
Compared with Gods and Monsters, in which Condon allowed himself flights of expressionist whimsy that played off Whale's horror- movie aesthetic, it's Kinsey is formally structured and conventionally toned. It was the nature of the material, he says.
"I really prefer that more unconventional approach, where you just take snapshots of a person," Condon said.
"But I couldn't figure out a way to do that with Kinsey and include everything. It's a bit more disciplined."
Among the indictments of the film from zealots is a dismissal of Condon himself as "a homosexual activist". Yet the film makes Kinsey about as appealingly clumsy as a homosexual dabbler as it does of him as a husband, father or a rounded human being.
"The funny thing is that the extent of my activism is that I'm out as a gay man," Condon said. "I mean, I can't point to a thing I've done to advance some gay agenda beyond living my life. What did they want me to do? Ignore Kinsey's bisexuality because I'm gay?"
The creepiest scene in Kinsey is one in which Neeson and a Kinsey aide and intimate named Clyde Martin, played by Peter Sarsgaard, interview a pedophile, who is identified in the literature elsewhere as one Rex King. King is proud enough of his exploits to have volunteered to share them for science.
Midway through the interview, Martin is so appalled at what he is hearing that he bolts from the room. There is no editorialising in the dialogue, but the scene's tone is emotional. Kinsey stays on taking notes and, if he is suppressing revulsion, you would never know it.
So far that sort of nuanced tone, plus the controversy, has worked well for the film. It's on track to make its budget back. And, with three Golden Globe nominations - best picture (drama) and acting nods for Neeson and Linney - the film could have the traction to pick up some Oscar nominations.
For Neeson, getting sucked into the Kinsey vortex - and it was an encounter that was spread over several years, as the producers struggled to get financing - was "strangely surreal". And it is not like Neeson, 52, hasn't played real-life characters before. His finest work has come in roles such as Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's Schlinder's List, and the conflicted Irish insurgent Michael Collins in the film by Neil Jordan.
Curiously, even his stage evocation in New York of Oscar Wilde, in David Hare's The Judas Kiss, was appreciated for its dramatic merits rather than the scandalous fact that here was another historic luminary with a wife who had sex with other men.
"I tend to read a lot when I'm researching one of these real-life characters," Neeson said. "And, I have to say, the literature has never given me as much freedom to choose, as I did with Kinsey. There was a headline I read somewhere - Kinsey: Liberator or Pervert? - and, really, it summed up the spread of opinion.
"But Kinsey once said that there were only three sexual abnormalities - abstinence, celibacy and delayed marriage - so he was asking for trouble."
Kinsey opens in Australia on Thursday.

Treatment Specialists
Chiropractic is a healing science that emphasizes the importance of maintaining the structural integrity of the body. Chiropractic is a conservative method of health care that does not utilize drugs or surgery. Chiropractic takes into account all aspects of the patient's life: family history, work, stress level, lifestyle, environment, diet, exercise habits and deals with treating the cause of the problem rather than just the symptoms.
Massage has the potential to relax the mind and body, invigorate and stimulate as well. Massage therapy treats the whole person, inside and out. Because of this, massage is the ultimate balancer, bringing peace to the frazzled mind and relief to a hurting body.
Release is a whole body approach used for the relief of persons experiencing
chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain.
Accupuncture is the insertion of various needles into points on the body. These points are located and join together in 'channels' or 'meridians', along which Qi flows. The points used in treatment are carefully chosen to disperse any blockages and to bring the patient's Qi into balance.
Physiatrists are doctors who are certified as specialists in rehabilitation medicine by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The area of medicine they practice is called "physiatry."
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) was born in 1946 in response to the challenge to help disabled citizens reach their maximum potential. What is so special about these specialists? After completing medical school and obtaining an MD or DO degree, they study four more years and take two extra examinations, one written and one oral. The purpose of this extra training is to make sure that physiatrists are focused on the patient as a whole person.
physiatrist often coordinates a team of other doctors and health professionals
in developing and carrying out a comprehensive rehabilitation plan which
extends beyond hospital walls into the patient's family, community,
occupation, friends, and ultimate life style. This rehabilitation team
may include physical, occupational, and/or speech therapies, nurses
and doctors from various specialties, including neurology and orthopedics,
psychologists, counselors or social workers, rehabilitation engineers
and others.
Physical therapists are experts trained in the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction. There are trained specifically to improve movement and function, relieve pain, and expand movement potential. Physical therapy is often the treatment of choice in situation where pain impairs function, and recovering from an injury or surgery, and in recovering from a disease process or illness. Physical therapists also teach adaptive and physical coping skills in dealing with impaired function from a disease, injury, or illness.
A medical specialty concerned with the preservation and restoration of function of the skeletal system and its associated structures, i.e., spinal and other bones, joints, and muscles.
A physician skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of disease of the nervous system.

How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
Security cameras at office buildings and apartment towers also train thousands of lenses at unsuspecting New Yorkers and often provide invaluable aid to cops.
But the NYPD has no comprehensive system to monitor the Financial District -- considered the nation's No. 1 terror target.
New York cops became more aware of the value of London's "ring of steel" during the terror attacks of last July 7, when the cameras quickly provided images of suspected bombers.
Above ground, London has cameras posted at 16 entry points and 12 exits from the so-called City of London -- an enclave that basically encompasses the financial district along with landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral.
Streets also were narrowed slightly at the chokepoints to allow cameras mounted on unobtrusive posts to capture real-time images of license plates and drivers' faces.

DAVENPORT, Iowa - With a stunning $25 million fundraising haul for his presidential campaign, Democrat Barack Obama affirmed his status Wednesday as Hillary Rodham Clinton's chief rival.
The freshman Illinois senator proved he could channel his appeal into significant financial muscle, and he dispelled, for now, questions about the durability of his anti-war, "hope"-driven candidacy.
Obama's three-month money total stopped just short of the record $26 million Clinton brought in. By any measure, it was an astonishing figure for a political newcomer elected to the U.S. Senate just two years ago.
Obama was in Iowa on Wednesday, with a rally in Mason City planned for the afternoon. In an e-mail message to supporters, he said his fundraising success represented "an unmistakable message to the political establishment in Washington about the power and seriousness of our challenge."
His campaign released additional details illustrating the breadth of Obama's support. He had 100,000 contributors in the first quarter, with more than half donating online for a total of $6.9 million. Clinton, by contrast, had about 50,000 contributors and raised $4.2 million online.
The campaign said at least $23.5 million of the $25 million total was available to be used in the highly competitive primary race. The Clinton campaign has yet to disclose how much of her $26 million can be used for the primary and how much was earmarked for the general election.
Obama's strong showing was a blow to Clinton, who sought to position herself as her party's strongest White House contender in part through her fundraising prowess.
Obama began his campaign with a relatively small donor base concentrated largely in Illinois, his home state. But his early opposition to the Iraq war and voter excitement over his quest to be the first black president quickly fueled a powerful fundraising machine.
He attracted Wall Street executives and big-money Hollywood moguls like billionaire David Geffen, a former Clinton supporter who shifted allegiances. But he also focused on smaller donations and raised money in several small cities, a practice Clinton aides say she will follow this quarter.
Still, her strategists point to numerous state and national polls that show Obama consistently trailing Clinton. A new poll of New Hampshire Democrats by CNN and WMUR showed Edwards surging into second place. Clinton was leading with 27 percent, Edwards had 21 percent and Obama 20 percent.
First quarter financial tallies show the Democrats vastly outpacing their GOP counterparts. Preliminary figures show the Democrats raised about $80 million combined, while Republicans pulled in only about $40 million.
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards reported $14 million in new contributions, including $1 million for the general election.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said he had raised $6 million and had more than $5 million cash on hand.
Aides to Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd said he raised more than $4 million and transferred nearly $5 million from his Senate campaign, for a total of $9 million in receipts and $7.5 million cash on hand. Delaware Sen. Joe Biden lagged behind, with his staff reporting that he had total receipts of nearly $4 million, nearly half of which was transferred from his Senate campaign account.
Among the Republican candidates, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was the top money-raiser with $23 million, another eye-catching sum that placed him in the same league with Clinton and Obama and left his GOP rivals in the dust.
Former New York City Mayor Giuliani raised $15 million for the quarter, while Arizona Sen. John McCain posted $12.5 million. Giuliani leads the GOP field in national popularity polls, followed by McCain.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Zheng, Zhiyuan Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-06232011-134809 Title Three Essays on Econometric Analysis Degree PhD Department Economics Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Ashley, Richard A. Committee Chair Parmeter, Christopher F. Committee Co-Chair Du, Pang Committee Member Ge, Suqin Committee Member Haller, Hans H. Committee Member Keywords
- Income Inequality
- Data Sharpening
- Bootstrap Significant Testing
- LSCV Bandwidths
- Health Dynamics
Date of Defense 2011-05-02 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis dissertation consists of three essays on econometric analysis including both parametric and nonparametric econometrics. The first chapter outlines three topics involved and briefly discusses the motivations and methods, as well as some conclusions in each of the following chapters.
Both chapter 2 and chapter 3 are in the field of kernel smoothed nonparametric econometrics. Chapter 2 conducts large volumes of simulations to explore the properties of various methods proposed in the literature to detect irrelevant variables in a fully nonparametric regression framework. We focus our attention to two broadly sets of methods, the least square cross-validated bandwidth selection procedure and the conventional nonparametric significance testing frameworks.
In chapter 3, a bootstrap test statistic is proposed to test the validity of imposing some arbitrary restrictions on higher order derivatives of a regression function. We use data sharpening method to enforce the desired constraints on the shape of the conditional means and then measure the distance between the unrestricted and restricted models. The empirical distribution of the test statistic is generated by bootstrapping and the asymptotic distribution for the bootstrap test statistic is also provided.
The last chapter examines the relationship between population health and income inequality in China. We use a multilevel dynamic panel model to test the absolute income hypothesis, various versions of relative income hypothesis, and health selection hypothesis empirically

NOTE: This spoiler sent in by Kim.
The movie begins with Scrat once again in pursuit of the elusive acorn. It ends up landing on a small cliff and then disappearing near a tree. As he rounds the tree, he sees Scratte, and their theme song by Al Green, "You'll Never Find," starts playing as they both dance around who gets the acorn. Eventually, both fall off a cliff, and Scratte grabs the acorn and opens her arms like a parachute (flying squirrel-style) and leaves Scrat falling to the floor.
Manny (Ray Romano,) the two opossums, and Sid (John Leguizamo) are all running in Ellie's (Queen Latifa's) direction with a large leaf of hot water since she is pregnant, and Manny thinks she's in labor. He slips courtesy of Sid and the water is lost. Ellie then tells him it was just a kick and to stop overreacting. Manny then shows her a play yard he made for the baby-to-be along with an ice mobile featuring both of them and the baby. Sid is somewhat upset that he is not on the mobile, and the opossums offer to add him to their smelly one. They all are wondering where Diego is.
Diego (Denis Leary) is stalking an antelope in the grass seemingly back to his predator roots. He chases the antelope until his sight blurs and he's out of breath. The antelope laughs at this lack of energy, and Diego feels rather embarrassed. When he runs into Ellie and Manny, Ellie urges Manny to talk to him, and Diego announces that he will leave the "herd" since he and Sid will be out of the new "herd" once the baby arrives. He also tells Sid that Sid is basically being kicked out as well and to not go with Diego either. Sid is rather saddened by this and resolves to make his own herd.
As Sid ventures out, he falls into the ice and runs into three large eggs which he takes with him (Eggbert, Shelly, and Yoko.) He nearly loses all three, and Ellie saves one from falling off a cliff. Manny warns him to put the eggs back, but Sid insists that they were abandoned, and he must now take care of them. He guards them through the rain and sees shadows of small animals in the eggs when the sun comes out.
The next morning, Sid wakes up, oblivious to the fact that all the eggs hatched, and three baby T-Rexs are now attached to him. Without Manny's permission, he takes them to the play yard Manny made and unwillingly allows tons of other kids in there. Chaos ensues, and the playground and mobile are destroyed. Manny yells at Sid and tells him that his "kids" are dangerous and need to leave. This is followed by the T-Rex mother showing up and taking all three of her children and an unwilling Sid back down under the ice into the world of dinosaurs.
When Ellie and Diego see where Sid has gone, they decide to go rescue him. Manny is against this, but follows reluctantly. Once they are under the ice, several dinosaurs attack them, and they are saved by a delusional recluse weasel named Buck (Simon Pegg.) Buck, who lost his eye to a colossal dinosaur named "Rudy" and took one of Rudy's teeth as a knife souvenir, offers to help the group find Sid but points out that it's very dangerous without his help. He demonstrates his skills by saving them all from several dinosaurs and a large predatory plant.
In the meantime, Sid is arguing with the mother dinosaur about how to raise the babies and tries to make them vegetarians, which doesn't work. Although he fails at being the "natural" mother, the mother T-Rex allows Sid to tag along, and even hides him from "Rudy" who prowls at night looking for dinosaurs and other animals to eat.
Next, Sid's rescue party encounters a cave of nitrous oxide that they must navigate through without laughing themselves to death. During Diego and Manny's laughing experience, they admit to feeling badly about the herd possibly breaking up. Ellie hears all of this and realizes what they have been discussing beforehand. They find evidence that Sid is still alive, and Diego and Buck continue to track him into a large cavern.
As they all try to navigate the cavern, Ellie goes into labor (using the secret word, "peaches," to alert Manny,) and she is stuck on a ledge with several small predatory dinosaurs headed her way. Buck splits up the group, Manny and Diego will help Ellie, and Buck and the opossums will save Sid. Diego goes back to his roots and successfully maims most of the dinosaurs who approach Ellie while Manny seals an entrance preventing any more to come near her. At the end of the battle, Ellie has given birth to a female baby that they name Peaches.
Buck and the opossums save Sid by flying a Pterodactyl above a lava river where Sid has become trapped by Rudy. They fly him to safety near the rest of the herd, and all are about to leave until Rudy emerges. Diego, Manny, Buck, and Sid trap Rudy and nearly escape, but Rudy breaks free. Just as he is about to eat Sid, the mother T-Rex shoves Rudy off a cliff for nearly killing the protector of her eggs. Sid says good-bye to her and the babies.
As the entire herd plus the new baby head back up to the ice, Buck nearly joins them until he hears Rudy roaring from below, and he tells Diego to protect the herd and then destroys the path for any dinosaurs or himself to follow the herd. The movie ends with the herd staying together and a new mobile is made with all the herd's images on it.
Side story- Scrat and Scratte end up pursuing the acorn throughout the film, and they literally tango into love. At the end of the film, we see her ordering him around, and he looks out their love nest to see the acorn. He leaves her, and their fight for ownership of the acorn begins again.

NEIGHBORING cities Arcadia and Sierra Madre are remarkably similar - except where they are very much not.
Affluent, bucolic, historical - yes. Sierra Madre has long petitioned the county, to no avail, to increase its ties to its larger neighbor by joining its school system.
But just try mansionizing a house in Sierra Madre - we dare you. Candidates for office there must pledge allegiance to no-growth principles, both commercially and residentially, more than anywhere in Los Angeles County. Whereas Arcadia is one of few - it may be the only - city in the region with no floor-area ratio controls on housing development. Arcadia has enjoyed a huge new Asian immigration over the last 30 years - almost entirely white Sierra Madre has seen virtually no demographic changes. Sierra Madre has a strong bohemian streak - Arcadia, none whatsoever.
Excellent candidates came forward in both cities for the April 10 city council elections. None has a stronger record of service than Arcadia's Gary Kovacic - but "don't take success for granted," as he writes on his campaign blog. He's been on the council of the city in which he grew up, and graduated from Arcadia High in, on and off since 1996 - the city mandates a two-year break from running for office after three terms are served. A lawyer, a former planning commissioner, a fiscal conservative, a political moderate, a process guy, the editor of the city's centennial anthology - Kovacic is Mr. Arcadia and very much deserves re-election.
The second open council seat has a number of worthy contenders, but we'll go with enthusiastic campaigner Sho Tay, who has run before. The business-oriented Taiwanese immigrant is big on a pay-as-you-go attitude toward city spending, including development projects, and is this year's citizen of the year of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce. He wants to fix the Dial-a-Ride service many seniors rely on by eliminating the mere 90-second wait after which vans currently depart.
For the first of two full four-year terms on the Sierra Madre council, we endorse incumbent MaryAnn MacGillivray, the strongest anti-growther in town. The tight-fisted, sharp entrepreneur opposes hikes to the utility-tax percentage and favors unusually transparent government for a longtime council member.
For the second full term, a young newcomer and native Sierra Madrean, John Harabedian, would bring an incredible sophistication to council service. A business lawyer in downtown Los Angeles, he went on to Yale, Oxford and Stanford Law School before returning to his hometown. The small city needs an Internet-savvy leader who would create a web site with all relevant city documents, online forums for citizen concerns and all city bills payable online.
For the two-year seat created by the departure of Joe Mosca, fiscally savvy financial planner Chris Koerber is a perfect fit. Concerned enough to scan city documents and post them online when City Hall didn't, he's concerned about spending, citing Police Department pension costs that are up 48 percent over five years. He wants a lower utility tax. Koerber cut his teeth fighting what he termed "the 40 McMansions" at the 1 Carter development.

The US Government just loves breaking amendments…
Starting this week, ISPs in the US will be monitoring everything you download, coming after anyone who may be doing any "illegal" file-sharing.http://www.rt.com/usa/six-strikes-program-begins-434/
they are afraid of what happened in Italy.
@doru: what happened?
What about upload?
pixelgreco said
@doru: what happened?
people used internet to form a party from nothing while having all tv networks and printed press against them. That party become a major political force just yesterday.
Is quite complex but interesting event.
I'm thrilled, I hope we get to stamp out a lot of piracy, at least from some downloaders:http://www.myfoxny.com/story/21347184/net-providers-begin-warning-of-illegal-downloads
anyone who creates content (which gets pirated) should also be happy about this. Glad to see many filesharing sites were taken down last year, let's hope this trend continues, to kill piracy.
As much as I hate piracy of my work this can have very unintended (or intended, I'm cynical) consequences for free speech. Doru brings up a perfect example with Italy. I believe this is what the ISPs are mostly happy about from the article graphic4444 mentions above:
"Consumers who maintain they have been wrongly accused would be forced to pay $35 to appeal the decision. The fee would be reimbursed if they prevail."
Most likely a political security measure than protecting intellectual property in my opinion.
I'd rather have all my work pirated then being monitored.

Study: Schools In Poor Neighborhoods Are Falling Apart
(Max Rivlin-Nadler) A new study released today by labor union 32BJ, finds that, unsurprisingly, the poorest neighborhoods in the city also have schools in the worst physical condition.
The study details how New York City schools are decaying rapidly, with only half of them in what is considered by the Building Condition Assessment Survey (which was completed by the city) to be in "fair" condition. New York also spends less on maintenance and operations for their schools than nearly all other large school districts, including Chicago, Las Vegas, and Houston.

Spam spam spam spam. Spam spam spam spam. Wonderful spam.
For many users, iMessage is becoming an unusable cesspool of spam. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is under fire for poor security design in iMessage, and for failing to react to the (inevitable) spam problem that has ensued.
smh. Why do we keep having to reinvent the wheel, every single freakin' time a new communications tool becomes popular?
In IT Blogwatch, bloggers eyeroll furiously. Not to mention: Bloody Vikings…
Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment.
Robert McMillan hears the Vikings sing:
Apple's iMessage [has] become something of a nuisance. [It's] yet another communications tool being polluted by spam. It's a cheap and easy way for...spammers to get their junk messages front-and-center on your phone. ... As an added bonus, iMessage notifies the scammer whether the message they've sent out has been read or not.
…[It's] an Apple problem. Reached Monday, an Apple spokeswoman didn't have any immediate comment. ... The company has added rate-limiting. ... And there's also a slightly burdensome way to report iMessage [spam]. ... But if Apple is doing anything to take these spammers off the network, it's moving slowly.
…As for the beleaguered users, there's not much they can do. MORE
Pranav Dixit is definitely not a fanboi:
It's not like we need more reasons to hate iMessage. But we don't really have to look very hard.
…Since iMessage on the desktop instantly tells you whether a number is registered with the iMessage network, spammers can generate a list of verified iMessage users. ... All you need to register for an iMessage account is an email address. ... Reporting a spammer to Apple is a royal pain.
…Damn you, iMessage! MORE
Mehran Shahsavar agrees:
It is happening and I have received more than a few. I keep banning them but they keep using a different account. Apple should put some effort in detecting spammers and deal with them severely. MORE
Sébastien Page has context and tips:
This is part of a growing trend...where spammers collect phone numbers or email addresses linked to iMessage to send Apple users unsolicited messages in the hope they would click on links.
…The first thing you want to do...is to block the sender [but] they'll probably still be able to contact you from a different email address. [So] you can start taking more drastic measures by allowing notifications from contacts that are in your address book only [but] if someone who's not in your address book sends you a text message, you might miss it.
…Back in July of last year, Apple introduced a way to report spam [but] this is a very cumbersome way...and Apple should definitely find a better way. ... It's a painful process [and] it takes Apple several days to act on those spam reports, really questioning the efficiency of this process.
…There is no real guaranteed way to prevent you from receiving iMessage spam, unless you want to go thermonuclear and turn off iMessage altogether. MORE
Meanwhile, cue the rabid, drooling anecdotes from fanbois who've not yet experienced this problem. Here's one of the few coherent ones, from Chris Marshall:
I get the occasional SMS spam but never had any on iMessage. Neither have my wife or kids. MORE

Justin Bieber Kicks Off Vevo's Certified Program
He's always been a huge internet sensation, so it only makes sense that Justin Bieber would be involved in launching the new Vevo Certified program.
The "One Less Lonely Girl" singer told press he's excited to be included in the new 100 million views milestone club, along with Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga.
"To have eight Vevo Certified videos means the world ... I always say the Internet is where I got my start. I posted videos and now to have it come full circle - and now I'm getting CERTIFIED - it's amazing," he noted.
And Fred Santarpia, Vevo's GM explained, "It's a very notable achievement of success and dedication from the fans ... people are moving away from buying music and accessing it online, and we wanted to recognize the people connecting to music online."
"The content is a 'thank you' to the fans ... Vevo has done a great job of providing inside access into the world of the artist, bringing fans in touch with their idol, and this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans."

What's one thing you're taking out of this game?
Kalis: "Biggest thing for me is to stay focused. In an atmosphere like that it's easy to get distracted and not focus on whether sam dog is coming or whatever. Biggest part is just focus and not letting the crowd play a part of it."
How much did you improve from the first game to the second game?
Kalis: "I slightly improved, I didn't make any great gains or anything, it was just another week, but I think having that first game under my belt I wanted a second game. Even with the atmosphere I was feeling a lot more comfortable with myself and how I was playing. My body position, etc."
The three of you interior guys -- there's so much talk about how you guys are going to adapt, is there going to be cohesion? Do you guys use that as fuel or anything?
Kalis: "I mean it's definitely motivation. But I think motivation in itself is that you're playing at a great University like Michigan. If you can't get motivated from that you need to go somewhere else, especially from a game like that. I think the three of us just focus on being the best we can. Leadership is definitely a big part of that -- like Taylor and Schoefield do a pretty good job helping us out."
Has Taylor (Lewan) said anything memorable before the games? Anything that he said before Notre Dame that stuck with you?
Kalis: "There was one time in the game; it was just us five out lineman out there. He took us all in and held us and said, "Look around for a second, take it all in for a second. Look where you are, you're at Michigan, look at this place!"
How much pride do you guys take in only allowing one sack so far this year?
Kalis: "I guess it's good, but the goal for us was to get no sacks. So I mean that's definitely not good in our book and we need to get better."
Michigan redshirt sophomore center Jack Miller
How would assess your play and the offensive line play after two games?
Miller: "There's plenty to work on, but I think it's alright. I think some things are showing up that shouldn't be; some really correctable things that we all can work on and fix really quick. But overall I think it's alright. There's a lot to work on and that's our goal right now. But we're getting there."
They always say that the biggest improvement takes place between the first and second game... but after you play Notre Dame and you see what a legit front seven is like, does even more improvement take place because of what you learned from that game?
Miller: "Maybe, we'll see. I mean, we'll see Saturday -- I don't know until we play. It might, I feel like we improved as an offense a lot going into week two. I hope we improve in week three, week four -- so we'll see Saturday how those things pan out."
You said you want to see things improve, what are some things that you really need to see?
Miller: "We didn't do a great job with blitz pickup I don't think. There's some really easy stuff in all of our opinion that we just kind of messed up for whatever reason. I'd say that's probably the biggest takeaway from all of it. And just little things, play in and play out -- focusing and just a consistent execution that we're all trying to strive for. Just continually getting better at that."
How much does it help you to go against players of that caliber of Tuitt and such, where you're going against some of the better guys you'll go against all season?
Miller: "Yeah, it's awesome to play them early and get a feel for where you're at, and the things for where you need to get better at. and to get a true test for where you stand as an offensive line and as an individual. So it was huge, and like I said there's plenty to work on -- but I was pretty happy with the way a lot of that went."
Was that the most difficult matchup you ever had in your life?
Miller: "Probably, yeah (laughs). I think he outweighed me by 70 pounds or something like that. So yeah I would say so, but at the end of the day how many points did we put up, 40-something? We got the job done to a certain extent; we got the W so that's all that matters. Like I said, it's a good measuring tool for where we're at up front."
In the running game obviously you've had a lot of success with Devin. How much do you want this week to get back to a traditional running game -- let's see what we can do with our tailbacks?
Miller: "A lot. And, you know, we do that and it opens up more. I would say a big priority for this week and for the coming weeks going into Big Ten play in a few weeks is can we get Fitz going -- and obviously the success we have there can open up can open up other things. So that's a main point of emphasis."
How different has it been from your expectations from these first two games? Any things that have popped up that you've said, 'Well I didn't see that these last few years standing on the sidelines'?
Miller: "Not necessarily. Honestly I think it's been a pleasant surprise how naturally it's unfolded. You know, 'What's it going to be like when it's go time and the best guys are out there, like Notre Dame's front seven?' Before this year -- you've put in two full years going against guys in here and it really prepares you. I'm becoming an "older guy" and I'm starting to understand the importance of taking reps and practice and how easy that makes other things."

Tool Companies Now Marketing to Women
My wife and I have totally different shopping techniques, as do most couples. I like to get in and "get 'er done" and Moe likes to browse. Also like other couples, we usually head in different directions once we got through the doors. I always head off to the one department that used to be relegated only to males, the tool section.

Professor Carroll Goes to War
Katherine Carroll's year in Iraq is bookended by distinctly different memories. In the first, she had been in Iraq for just weeks when an Apache helicopter killed two insurgents planting explosive devices (IEDs) outside the walls of the U.S. military base where she was quartered.
"The IED blew up and their van blew up too. It was just guns and missiles and explosives going off everywhere," Carroll recalls. "I was standing in my Eileen West nightgown in a cement bunker, crying."
The other event happened near the end of her year. Carroll was in the community of Abu Ghraib, attending a meeting with several sheiks. A suicide bomber dropped by but was too nervous to detonate. Instead he went to a nearby market and killed around a dozen people. After the explosion, Iraqi soldiers began shooting. The American soldiers were new to Iraq and jittery, too. "We didn't yet know the full story, but we knew there was a big explosion and gunfire all around us, and my interpreter and I were sitting in the Stryker [armored vehicle] gossiping and talking about what we were going to have for dinner," says the assistant professor of political science. "It's amazing what you can get used to."
To say that a year deployed in Bagdad as part of the Army's Human Terrain System (HTS) team was life-changing is selling it short. Not only did Carroll learn to confront fears head-on, she also began to understand the U.S. military, a topic she hopes to continue to study. While she has spent much of her career studying Middle East politics, the military was a foreign concept. That is, until a recruiter knocked on her Vanderbilt office door in June 2007 looking for professors to embed with a unit.
The program's goal is to help the military understand the social and cultural environment of the community in which they work. Participants had to have the credentials—a doctorate in anthropology or related field—and the physical abilities, such as carrying 50 pounds of gear and enduring long work hours on very little sleep.
Carroll was intrigued, but at the time the surge had just begun and both Iraqis and the military had endured months of heavy casualties. By July, though, Iraq began to stabilize. "It wasn't clear whether this was a real decline or just a blip," Carroll says. "I wasn't in a position to make a decision, but it stuck in my head that I wanted to do this. There was nothing standing in my way except being afraid."
After several months of watching the attack figures decline, she felt Iraq had become safe enough, and by January 2008, she was training in Fort Leavenworth, Kan. There, with military reservists and other social scientists and researchers, she learned how to conduct social science in a war zone.
Carroll eventually separated from that team and deployed to Baghdad where she investigated various elements of Iraqi culture, society and politics at the direction of the brigade commander. "My typical day was to go outside the wire (the military base) to someone's home and meet with political actors or leaders. Or I'd go to the Rasheed Hotel on the edge of the Green Zone and talk to Iraqis about who was who in their neighborhood, what they needed or how they viewed the political environment," the social scientist says. "I spent a lot of time talking to sheiks and figuring out who did what and who was influential in what area, so that the soldiers would know who to work with to solve problems of security, service provision and reconciliation. Then I'd write and work on briefings until 11 or 12 at night."
Carroll found the Iraqis understandably suspicious, but she eventually won them over, always offering a business card and sending them drafts of reports for input. After she returned to Vanderbilt, she stayed in touch by phone and email with many of the Iraqis she had met, updating them on what was occurring in her classes. "Maybe some of them initially thought I was in the CIA, I don't know, but they came around to the view that I was who I said I was—an embedded professor—and that I really was there to help Americans understand them better as people," she notes. "Then they'd say, 'What a great idea.'"
Still it was a dangerous situation. Three HTS professors have been killed—two in Afghanistan, one in Iraq. Nicole Suveges, the social scientist killed in Iraq, trained at Fort Leavenworth with Carroll, and the two had become instant friends. "We were two peas in the pod. Same age, same interests. We talked on the phone every day," Carroll says. Suveges had just been in Sadr City a month when a bomb exploded in the room where she was attending a meeting, killing 12.
"I fell apart," Carroll says. "It was hard to stay after that.
My mother, who had been very nervous about the whole thing, pointed out, 'If you leave now, the whole experience will be about Nicole dying. You will have lost your whole investment.
If you stay, it could be about something else.'"
She stayed, comforted by soldiers who knew what it was like to lose a friend instantly. "They were so supportive of me in this perfect, quiet, gentle way when Nicole died. That was a moment when I felt the military would accept me," Carroll says.
Now she returns the favor, hoping that the Humanities 161 course opened the eyes of students. "I'm trying to help students understand how the military learns and operates so they can be more informed as citizens, patriots and/or critics," she says. "That's to get them more intellectually engaged with a major U.S. institution, but it's also to say, 'You need to learn about other cultures, too.'"

|Lead the first 20 feet or so up to the ledge just below the thin left leaning crack. That it's as far as i got! It would be a lot more fun if the rock didn't feel like marbles under my feet and the dry lichen was cleared out by more traffic. After that first bit, I sat on that ledge for 15 minutes before deciding my confidence was shot. I lowered off a slung flake and my brother gave it a go,but we ended up traversing from the first ledge left to the chimney which leads to the rap nest. Rapped from there after cutting out old webbing mess. Presidents day 2015

Former Brazil striker Adriano underwent a second operation on his left Achilles tendon and will not be able to play for at least three months.
Dr. Jose Luiz Runco said the successful surgery on Friday was needed because his foot had not healed properly from his first procedure early last year.
Adriano remains without a club after being let go by Corinthians in March. Corinthians directors said the player didn't take his recovery process seriously and missed several physiotherapy sessions.
Flamengo, which won the 2009 Brazilian league with Adriano, said it will see how the striker recovers before deciding whether to make an offer to sign him.
Adriano previously played for Inter Milan and AS Roma. He was on the Brazilian team at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
