ùfrom the Foreword by Daniel G. Amen, MD
Author and speaker for the PBS special Change Your Brain, Change Your Life
What does your brain have to do with experiencing joy?
A lot more than most of us realize.
In this breakthrough book, Dr. Earl Henslin reveals how the study of brain imaging turned his practice of psychotherapy upside downùwith remarkablyá positive results.
He shares answers to puzzling questions, such as
- Why isnÆt my faith in God enough to erase my blue moods?
- Why havenÆt I been able to conquer my anger? Pray away my fear and worry?
- Why canÆt I find freedom from secret obsessions and addictions?
Read this practical, easy-to-understand, and often entertaining book, and youÆll know exactly how to nourish your mind, balance your brain, and helpá others do the same. After all, the capacity for joy is a terrible thing to waste.

Kathleen Fuller3 Stars Out Of 5A little too technical, but interesting.July 8, 2011Kathleen FullerQuality: 3Value: 4Meets Expectations: 3I honestly had difficulty getting through this book. I'm not sure why. I don't think it was the subject matter as much as it was a little too technical for me because I have limited reading time. For someone else it would probably be a breeze to read. It was fascinating to read about how the brain works. I'm a little familiar with Dr. Amen's work from seeing him on TV. But I didn't leave this book feeling like my brain was on joy. I give it 3 stars, with the caveat that if you have the time to devote to a book that's a little more technical than most self-help books (at least the ones I've read) you might enjoy it and find it useful.

ABC (ended 1968)
The Invader,s sci-fi TV series was one of the best shows in the 60s and evan today is still a great series that ran for 2 seasons,but the very last episode is what got me as the southern states has refuse to show on TV because the way it was played out.......especially at the christians point of view of the TV show,s last episode which they made a big issue of as the way that episode was played out which they were not happy of so that last episode is still in the archive which we probably will never ever see on TV. However tho, if the fan,s would like to see the very last episode I suggest you fan,s put in a strong request for it as its in 2 parts or maybe 3 parts and further more it involves the invaders at war with the human race........so in order to see who won this war would be pretty interesting,so make sure you put in that strong request and perhaps we may see that last episode and see the out come of ..........the INVADERS.

IVA - the facts
Firstly, we should point out that an IVA is not the only way to solve a debt problem but if you owe more than £7,000 in unsecured debts to two or more companies (eg, credit, store or debit cards, overdrafts or personal loans, not a mortgage), and have a monthly surplus of over £50 then IVA could be an option.
So what exactly is an IVA?
An IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) is a private legal agreement between you and your creditors, where you pay back what you can realistically afford with the remaining debt being written off by your creditors. Normally lasting five years, the agreement covers all of your unsecured debts, including loans, credit cards, catalogues, store cards, overdrafts etc.In general, our clients typically:
- have unsecured debts of more than £7,000
- have more than two different unsecured creditors
- are not reliant on welfare benefit income only
Grant Thornton views the IVA as a flexible financial plan which is designed to revolve around your needs and puts you back in control.
What are the fees for an IVA?
Whilst we are a commercial organisation, we do not charge any up-front fees in respect of debt advice provided to you. However, if you enter into an IVA which is approved by your creditors, we will receive payment from the amounts contributed by you into the IVA.
If, following a review of your circumstances, an Individual Voluntary Arrangement is the most appropriate (or your preferred) solution for resolving your over-indebtedness, we will accept your instruction and we will assist you with drafting a proposal to your creditors.
There are two fees which will need to be paid as part of your IVA, known as Nominee and Supervisor fees. As part of your proposal there will be a fixed fee together with disbursements for acting as nominee (assisting you in the drafting of the proposal, reporting to creditors and convening and conducting the creditors' meeting). The supervisor's fees and disbursements (for administering the approved arrangement) will be calculated on the basis set out in your approved proposal (typically a fixed percentage of funds paid into the arrangement), and will be drawn from such funds paid into the arrangement.
Please note that the fee and disbursements will be drawn from the funds paid into the arrangement after your proposal has been approved by you and your creditors. It is not an additional cost to you and if your proposal is not approved by you and your creditors, no fees and disbursements will be payable.
If following the initial review, you do not proceed with an IVA, no costs will be incurred and we will recommend that you contact a debt counselling organisation which does not charge fees for advice provided in relation to other debt solutions.
Please be aware that:
- if the IVA fails, there is a risk of bankruptcy;
- there are certain restrictions on the level of allowable expenditure if you enter into an IVA or a Protected Trust Deed;
- your creditors may not approve the proposed IVA ;
- only unsecured debts included in the arrangement may be discharged at the end of the period - you could remain liable for unsecured debts not included;
- if you own a home you may need to release equity from its value to pay off debts;
- any remortgage may attract higher interest rates and, if a remortgage is not available, an IVA may need to be extended for 12 months.
Further information regarding the treatment of properties in an IVA can be found by clicking the following link.

You add 10 pounds each week to your percentages. week 1 65% then the next monday you do 65% +10lbs so if you used 185 the first week on monday you would use 195.

Everybody wants to believe that reading your opponent comes from some magical read of a facial tic. But the truth is that the real work comes from taking mental or even physical notes on the tendencies of your opponents. This means looking for patterns in their play, then making the necessary adjustments to take advantage of your newfound information.
Playing online is an excellent way to practice this talent because you can make notes on the spot, or even save hand histories to look at after your session to examine your opponents. This is a great way of getting into the habit of paying attention to your opponents. When you play a major tournament like the World Series of Poker, you not only will be better prepared to make mental notes on your opponents' betting patterns but also will be able to pick up on any physical tells you see and log them into your memory for the next time you have a tough decision against that opponent.
Before you get into the physical tell reading, learning the fundamentals of how to read betting patterns online is the way to go. Here are some things you should track when playing online poker:
Focus on the aggressive players. It's very important to know who the more aggressive players at the table are because it will directly influence the way you decide to play certain hands. For example, if you notice that a player has been raising at a very high frequency from late position, you can assume he is doing so without necessarily having a premium hand. So, the next time that player raises and you have a marginal hand, rather than fold, you might even decide to reraise him. The aggressive players are the most difficult opponents you'll face, so it's important to identify them as soon as you can so you'll be better prepared in those marginal situations.
Note all key bluffs you see an opponent make. This is the recipe for being able to get a real edge over an opponent: recognizing the situations in which your opponent will attempt big bluffs. You should note all of the bluffs you've seen a particular opponent make, then examine those hands, looking for patterns. Sometimes you won't really find any patterns other than the fact that this player bluffs too much. That in itself is good information to know, as when you are faced with a tough call against a player like that, you can click on your notes, see that he is a habitual bluffer, then make the call. Sometimes he'll have a real hand and you'll lose, but at least you'll be making educated decisions.
Know how your opponents perceive you. You might call this "table image." This is almost as important as knowing as much as you can about your opponents. It's extremely important to have a good understanding of how you are perceived because people will make adjustments to the way you play, just as you are doing against them. For example, if you have been caught bluffing by a particular opponent three times in a session, you should save those hands, analyze them and try to figure out a way to use that information to your advantage. Often the best way to do that is to play a strong hand similar to the way you played the hands you bluffed in. Your opponent might think he's picking up on a pattern, but you would be one step ahead of him.
Take note of how your opponent's play changes when losing. There are a lot of poker players out there who have what's called a "high tilt factor," meaning that when they take a few bad beats or start losing a big sum of money, it will have a massive impact on how they play from that point on. Players who go on tilt usually will play more hands, trying to chase back the money they've lost, and they also are more likely to make desperate bluffs.
Even some of the greatest players in the world have a tilt factor. When they are winning and haven't had too much bad luck, they are on their A-game and really playing excellent poker. However, if they get their pocket aces cracked, that could set them off and have them playing differently than they normally would.
When you sit down at a table, you should note how much each of your opponents started with. Then, as their stacks dwindle or get bigger, you should make minor (or major in some cases) adjustments to how you play that opponent. For example, if you know a player becomes a calling station after a few bad beats, you should avoid bluffing him at all costs, and instead, value bet weaker hands than you normally would because he is more likely to call you with a weak hand, also.
It's hardly a coincidence that in recent years online players have had increased success at the World Series of Poker. Aside from the fact that they gain so much experience so quickly, they also are programming their brain to learn how to better read people in a live tournament through note taking. They get used to the idea of it being important to factor in how an opponent plays. This habit then becomes second nature to them.
The next step for you, after you have focused most of your energy on picking up on betting patterns, is focusing on body language. It wouldn't seem as though taking notes online could help you in that area, but it certainly can. This practice helps program your brain to focus on your opponents rather than your cards.

The GoodThere are some good quips here, particularly the line about the "20-year-old condom" and all the jokes about Cyclops' general dweebiness. Andrews brings great storytelling and an unusual style that really gives the X-Men a fresh look (and that's combined with D'Amarta's colors). You also have to tip your hat to Ellis, too, for really doing the research about modern Africa, rather than setting this in the "country of Africa" that so much Western fiction tends to.
The BadI'm all for different interpretations, but Andrews seems to use an almost completely different rendering style for Emma Frost that really didn't jibe with the rest of the characters. Her grotesquely exaggerated "dangerous curves" looked like something out Lil' Anny Fanny that had just been dropped into this comic. There was something askew in the writing of some of the characters, too. Storm, for one, came off as a lot more catty and worldly than the "goddess" she's supposed to be, and Wolverine - - even though Storm remarks that he's wiser than most people think - - seemed a little out of character when he started filling in the socio-political exposition regarding Africa. Somehow, I don't see Logan reading the New York Times everyday.
Also, I'd feel kind of giped by the bonus material of the script if I were buying. It really doesn't add anything interesting to my impression of the issue. I would've preferred a longer feature story or maybe even a back-up instead.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by 1 reviewer.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by GuitarGirl Dissapointed I was excited to get this dress and it finally came back in stock. It is definitely very cute, but there are a couple of problems. First, the shoulders aren't wide enough, so when you lift your arms up to shoulder level, the fabric bunches up and stays there. I have never had this problem before, but you can see on the dress that there is a very short distance along the shoulders before the sleeves attach. Now for the bigger bummer: I wore this dress for less than a day and the fabric pills like crazy. So cheap. I know it's a lower price point dress, but I don't think charging $78 for a dress warrants lower quality. 9.23.2014

As a preliminary matter, Section 6596, "Excusable Delay-Reliance on Advice," of the California Sales and Use Tax Law grants taxpayers relief from future liabilities if the underreported tax is based on incorrect written advice provided by a Board representative. However, without specific details regarding the transactions in question, I cannot provide you with a specific opinion. The answer given is intended to provide general information regarding the application of tax based on the information you have provided and will not serve for relief of liability under Section 6596. For your general information, the Revenue and Taxation Code provides that sales tax is imposed on the gross receipts from the retail sales of tangible personal property in this state. The sales tax is imposed upon the retailer for the privilege of selling tangible personal property at retail in California. The use tax is complementary (and mutually exclusive) to the sales tax and is imposed upon the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of tangible personal property, not subject to the sales tax. The obligation to pay the use tax is on the consumer. Regulation 1610, "Vehicles, Vessels, and Aircraft," provides that an aircraft is defined to mean any contrivance designed for powered navigation in the air, except a rocket or missile. "Aircraft" includes and airframe or a fuselage even without an engine. Regulation 1610 provides that sales tax does not apply to sales of aircraft by a person not required to hold a seller's permit by reason of the number, scope, and character of the person's sales of such aircraft. In the event the sale is not subject to sales tax, the purchaser is required to pay use tax measured by the sales price of the aircraft to the purchaser. A purchaser of an aircraft who holds a valid seller's permit, or to whom a consumer's use tax account number has been assigned, must include the use tax in the purchaser's return for the period in which the aircraft was purchased. A purchaser who does not hold a seller's permit, or to whom a consumer's use tax account number has not been assigned, shall make a return and Mr. Robert Comperini -2- February 14, 2006 pay use tax, measured by the sales price of the aircraft, on or before the last day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which a return form is mailed to the purchaser, or the last day of the twelfth month following the month during which the aircraft was purchased, whichever period expires the earliest. If a purchaser of an aircraft failed to report the use tax, the Board generally has eight years from the due date of the return in which to issue a billing. The recent change in FAA regulations requiring the registration of "Experimental Light Sport" aircraft that were previously exempt from registration should not have any impact on the application of sales or use tax. The sale or purchase of these types of aircraft were subject to sales or use tax prior to the change in FAA regulations since these types of airplanes were already classified as "aircraft" for the purposes of the Sales and Use Tax Law. Due to the new FAA registration requirement for this class of aircraft, the Board may be more readily aware of transactions involving these types of aircraft. Currently, the Board of Equalization has no plans to formally offer forgiveness for payment of the tax or providing documentation proving payment of the tax. If any of your members are contacted by the Board regarding payment of the tax, Board staff will work with each member on an individual basis to resolve any potential or alleged sales and use tax liability. For the purpose of sharing information with your members, you may direct them to the Board's website where they may obtain a copy of Publication 79-A, "Aircraft and California Tax." You may also share the following information with your members regarding various different types of transactions that may apply to your members, along with the sales or use tax consequences of each: 1. Purchase of complete aircraft from a registered aircraft dealer. Since the aircraft dealer is a registered retailer in this state, the applicable tax is the sales tax. The dealer is required to report the sales tax directly to the Board and would most likely collect sales tax reimbursement from the purchaser. If the dealer is located out-of-state, the applicable tax is the use tax (see scenario #2 below). 2. Purchase of complete aircraft from a private party (in-state or out-of-state). Since the aircraft is purchased from a private party, not a registered retailer, the applicable tax is the use tax. The purchaser is required to report the use tax directly to the Board based on the purchase price of the aircraft. If the purchaser fails to report the tax, the Board may generally issue a billing for the tax within eight years of the due date of the tax. 3. Purchase of a kit or component parts from a retailer. If the retailer is located in this state, the applicable tax is the sales tax. The tax consequences would be the same as provided in scenario #1 above. If the retailer is not located in this state, the applicable tax is the use tax. If the out-of-state retailer is registered with the Board to collect the use tax, the out-of-state retailer is required to provide a receipt to the purchaser for the collection of the use tax. If the out-of-state retailer is not registered to collect the use tax, the purchaser is required to pay the tax directly to the Board as provided in scenario #2 above. Mr. Robert Comperini -3- February 14, 2006 4. Purchase of a kit or component parts from a private party. The purchase of a kit or component parts from a private party generally will qualify as an occasional sale and would not be subject to sales or use tax. Please note that this differs from the purchase of a complete aircraft, as defined in Regulation 1610, since the occasional sale exemption does not apply to the sale or purchase of an aircraft. I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions regarding this or any other issue, please write or call our Information Center at (800) 400-7115.

On February 20, 1962, the spacecraft Friendship 7, carrying astronaut John Glenn, lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. This Mercury 6 mission made Glenn the third American to enter space and the first to orbit the Earth.
Glenn also has the distinction of being the first American to eat in space. His astro-meal consisted of applesauce squeezed from an aluminum tube, which he washed down with an orange-flavored powdered drink mix called Tang. Hardly anyone remembers the applesauce, but the drink was history-making.
Tang became an emblem of the space age. With a list of ingredients that includes lots of things you'd find in a chemistry lab and less than 2 percent "natural flavor," the powdered drink mix also became a bellwether for the breaching of another frontier: the brave new world of synthetic food.
The need to mend broken hearts has never been greater. In the USA alone, around 610,000 people die of heart disease each year. A significant number of those deaths could potentially have been prevented with a heart transplant but, unfortunately, there are simply too few hearts available.
In 1967 the South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard performed the world's first human heart transplant in Cape Town. It seemed like a starting gun had gone off; soon doctors all around the world were transplanting hearts.
The problem was that every single recipient died within a year of the operation. The patients' immune systems were rejecting the foreign tissue. To overcome this, patients were given drugs to suppress their immune system. But, in a way, these early immunosuppressants were too effective: they weakened the immune system so much that the patients would eventually die of an infection. It seemed like medicine was back to square one.
Did you know that the discovery of a way to make ammonia was the single most important reason for the world's population explosion from 1.6 billion in 1900 to 7 billion today? Or that polythene, the world's most common plastic, was accidentally invented twice?
The chances are you didn't, as chemistry tends to get overlooked compared to the other sciences. Not a single chemist made it into Science magazine's Top 50 Science stars on Twitter. Chemistry news just don't get the same coverage as the physics projects, even when the project was all about landing a chemistry lab on a comet.
So the Royal Society of Chemistry decided to look into what people really think of chemistry, chemists and chemicals. It turns out most people just don't have a good idea of what it is chemists do, or how chemistry contributes to the modern world.
This is a real shame, because the world as we know it wouldn't exist without chemistry. Here's my top five chemistry inventions that make the world you live in.
Kevin Tracey, a neurosurgeon based in New York, is a man haunted by personal events – a man with a mission. "My mother died from a brain tumor when I was five years old. It was very sudden and unexpected," he says. "And I learned from that experience that the brain – nerves – are responsible for health."
This background made him a neurosurgeon who thinks a lot about inflammation. He believes it was this perspective that enabled him to interpret the results of an accidental experiment in a new way.
In the late 1990s, Tracey was experimenting with a rat's brain. "We'd injected an anti-inflammatory drug into the brain because we were studying the beneficial effect of blocking inflammation during a stroke," he recalls. "We were surprised to find that when the drug was present in the brain, it also blocked inflammation in the spleen and in other organs in the rest of the body. Yet the amount of drug we'd injected was far too small to have got into the bloodstream and traveled to the rest of the body."
After months puzzling over this, he finally hit upon the idea that the brain might be using the nervous system – specifically the vagus nerve – to tell the spleen to switch off inflammation everywhere.
It was an extraordinary idea – if Tracey was right, inflammation in body tissues was being directly regulated by the brain. Communication between the immune system's specialist cells in our organs and bloodstream and the electrical connections of the nervous system had been considered impossible. Now Tracey was apparently discovering that the two systems were intricately linked.
The first critical test of this exciting hypothesis was to cut the vagus nerve. When Tracey and his team did, injecting the anti-inflammatory drug into the brain no longer had an effect on the rest of the body. The second test was to stimulate the nerve without any drug in the system. "Because the vagus nerve, like all nerves, communicates information through electrical signals, it meant that we should be able to replicate the experiment by putting a nerve stimulator on the vagus nerve in the brainstem to block inflammation in the spleen," he explains. "That's what we did and that was the breakthrough experiment."
Vancouver-based architect Michael Green was unequivocal at a conference at which I heard him speak a while ago: "We grow trees in British Columbia that are 35 stories tall, so why do our building codes restrict timber buildings to only five stories?"
True, regulations in that part of Canada have changed relatively recently to permit an additional story, but the point still stands. This can hardly be said to keep pace with the new manufacturing technologies and developments in engineered wood products that are causing architects and engineers to think very differently about the opportunities wood offers in the structure and construction of tall buildings.
Green himself produced a book in 2012 called Tall Wood, which explored in detail the design of 20-story commercial buildings using engineered timber products throughout. Since then he has completed the Wood Innovation and Design Center at the University of North British Columbia which, at 29.25 meters (effectively eight stories), is currently lauded as the tallest modern timber building in North America.
A decade ago, a revolutionary paper showed that a hormone called oxytocin can actually make us trust other people. This spawned a flurry of research that revealed oxytocin's potential to boost social interactions. Now a new study has shown that the hormone is actually very similar to alcohol, a well-known social lubricant. However, just like alcohol, it has a dark side.
In the first study, published in 2005, volunteers were asked to invest money in an anonymous trustee whose honesty could not be guaranteed. People who received a dose of oxytocin chose to invest more than those given a placebo – they were more trusting. Subsequent experiments have shown that oxytocin also leads people to become more empathetic, generous and cooperative. They become better at reading social nuances and facial expressions, believe others to be more approachable and become less fearful and anxious in social situations.
Not only this, it seems that oxytocin may help to promote fidelity. Evidence for this comes most clearly in two intensively studied and closely related rodent species. One, the prairie vole, is monogamous; mated couples form close pair bonds and share nest-building and parental duties. In the other, the meadow vole, males leave the female with the babies and will try to mate again.
The two species vary in their sensitivity to oxytocin. However, experiments that increase the effective sensitivity to oxytocin by increasing hormone dosage or blocking receptors in the brain can actually change pair-bonding behavior, making it easier for female prairie voles to choose a partner and turning previously promiscuous meadow vole males into monogamous, caring dads.
The unparalleled motion and manipulation abilities of soft-bodied animals such as the octopus have intrigued biologists for many years. How can an animal that has no bones transform its tentacles from a soft state to a one stiff enough to catch and even kill prey?
A group of scientists and engineers has attempted to answer this question in order to replicate the abilities of an octopus tentacle in a robotic surgical tool. Last week, members of this EU-funded project known as STIFF-FLOP (STIFFness controllable Flexible and Learnable manipulator for surgical OPerations) unveiled the group's latest efforts.
A minor fracas between astronomers and robo-lawnmowers has been making headlines, which sounds painfully futuristic. At issue, whether the maker of Roomba can let its autonomous mower operate on restricted radio frequencies that telescopes use to observe the cosmos.
And the whole thing is futuristic in another, more subtle way, as well. Robot lawnmowers are just one of the many coming gadgets that will be incorporated into the Internet of Things, a wireless network in which even our everyday appliances will participate. And it's that future that has astronomers on edge.
A Web of Nouns
The trouble began because iRobot doesn't want its customers to have to do any physical labor — not cutting the grass and definitely not digging the trenches for the underground wires that most autonomous lawn mowers use to sense the edge of their domain. iRobot applied to the FCC to be allowed to use wireless broadcasters instead, at radio frequencies between 6240 and 6740 MHz. Problematically, though, space-based methanol also broadcasts radio waves at those frequencies. Methanol traces star formation and tells us about the evolution of our galaxy, which (taken to its extreme) tells us how we got here. To protect that band, the FCC says "all practicable steps shall be taken to protect the radio astronomy service from harmful interference." And within that band, it prohibits "fixed outdoor infrastructure." The National Radio Astronomy Observatory says iRobot's guiding beacons violate that prohibition and insist the mower-bot stay 55 miles away from its telescopes. iRobot says nuh-uh, "there is little risk of interference," and 12 miles is sufficient.
If one brand's wireless landscape-eater can cause such a stir, just imagine what could happen when our world is full of self-adjusting, internet-connected devices all communicating wirelessly with each other and with the Web. They will all need to use the radio "spectrum," but how they'll split it up — and share it with astronomers, other industries, and the government — when more devices need a slice of the pie remains to be seen.
Smart thermostats can already make your house the temperature you want while monitoring the outdoor weather. Bluetooth beacons help you find your keys. Sensors monitor inventory and alert vending machine owners that Fruitopia is sold out. This is the Internet of Things, and it's coming. "There are no spectrum bottlenecks for dedicated Internet of Things systems yet," Kevin Ashton, co-founder and former executive director of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Auto-ID Center, told Bloomberg BNA, "but we are seeing Wi-Fi services get maxed out, as there are only so many channels you can cram into the available spectrum."
Splitting up the Spectrum
The Internet of Things requires wireless devices. A Nest would look stupid with an Ethernet cable snaking out of its circumference. If your wearable glucose monitor had to be plugged into a router to work, you'd never get far from home. Each device operates at a specific radio frequency. In the US, the FCC controls who gets to use which frequencies. In some bands, anyone can transmit radio waves, as long as they stay below a certain power (most Internet of Things things operate here). Other bands require a license, which the government sells to organizations at (surely riveting) auctions. And, finally, some bands are reserved for radio astronomy. Check out this graphic to see how it's parceled out:
The radio astronomy bands, however, only cover a tiny portion of the spectrum, while radio astronomers are interested in almost all of it. So while the Internet of Things may color within the lines of its own little boxes (which seems dubious if iRobot is a harbinger), objects in space have no such compunctions. They will continue to send out radio waves that have the same frequency as your video-chat dog-treat dispenser. And the signal from your dog's sockeye-salmon biscuit video could completely swamp a signal that's been traveling valiantly across space for billions of years. But as the spectrum gets more crowded, we're more likely to see changes and challenges to its allocation — just like with iRobot — that bleed toward protected bands.
Radio Waves … from Space
Astronomers use radio telescopes like those in Green Bank, WV; Socorro, NM; Jodrell Bank, England; Arecibo, Puerto Rico; and Parkes, Australia to detect the radio waves coming from space. Although cosmic radio waves come from powerful sources like black holes, pulsars, and natural lasers, they have traveled a long way before hitting earthly antennas. Radio waves, like visible light, appear dimmer the farther you are from the source. If you are 1 light-year from a pulsar, and then you step back to 2 light-years, the radio waves will become four times dimmer. Step back 4 light-years, and the waves are 16 times dimmer. By the time radio waves get here, they're way less than shadows of their former selves. A single cell phone placed on the Moon, for instance, would show up more powerfully in radio waves than almost anything else in the sky.
So when you put a cell phone right next to a telescope, or even miles away, it easily drowns out the pipsqueaks coming from space. Imagine trying to see a flashlight that someone was holding in front of the Sun (hint: rhetorical).
Quiet Zones
To protect their ability to do radio astronomy without the intrusion of your smartphone, astronomers put their telescopes in remote locations, preferably valleys surrounded by mountains that absorb radio waves trying to trespass from outside. But in a world full of radio-emitting devices, being away from population centers isn't good enough. Any population is a problem — and not just because of the obvious suspects, like cell phones. Nearly any electronic device emits radio waves (proof? Turn on a portable radio, tune to an empty AM station, and hold it up to your refrigerator/fluorescent light/digital camera/oscillating fan).
Some observatories politely ask people to turn off their cell phones, as if this were the beginning of a movie and not the fate of our understanding of the universe. But others, like Green Bank, have established "radio-quiet zones," where lots of normal things are against the law. For 13,000 square miles around the observatory — a region that includes parts of Virginia and Maryland as well as West Virginia — broadcasters have to fill out special paperwork to make sure the telescope can't "see" their transmitters. If it can? Permit denied. So for an hour or so radius around Green Bank, you can't get cell phone service, no matter how high you hold your iPhone in the air. "Keeping cell service out of the immediate vicinity hinders the utility of lots of gadgets which would potentially transmit on multiple bands, not just their link to the cellular service," says Green Bank's Carla Beaudet, the observatory's radio-frequency interference engineer. "The National Radio Quiet Zone offers protection to Green Bank both directly and indirectly."
In a smaller, 10-mile radius around the observatory, the rules are stricter: no Wi-Fi, no microwaves, no cordless phones, no wireless game controllers, no Bluetooth transfers. It's an enforceable law, and NRAO has a truck that can track down rogue radio waves. Employees have knocked on doors to find shorted electric blankets, malfunctioning electric fences, contraband Wi-Fi routers, and once (at least according to legend) was plagued by the radio tracking collars on fast-moving squirrels.
Green Bank has the most well-known and oldest quiet zone, which was established in 1958 (not in small part because the government's communications station Sugar Grove is just down the valley). But Australia, South Africa, and Chile — home to the next generation of radio telescopes — have or soon will have their own versions. "Geospatial exclusion areas like the National Radio Quiet Zone can go a long distance (pun intended) towards protecting specific radio astronomy facilities," says Beaudet, "particularly if there is additional protection from terrain obstacles" (such as mountains).
Deafening Devices
But many telescopes — such as Arecibo — have only terrain obstacles, and no official protection. Soon, they may only be sensitive enough within the officially protected radio astronomy bands — and that's only if corporations play by existing rules. "The extent to which the Internet of Things will be a threat to radio astronomy will depend upon whether the regulatory standards can be upheld in the face of the massive onslaught of lawyers funded by the private sector," says Beaudet. "If the regulatory standards are upheld rather than modified every time somebody needs more spectrum, there will still be small windows of spectrum in which astronomers can observe."
In the future, telescopes outside quiet zones may detect so much blah-blah-blah from our devices that they won't catch the whispered conversation from space. But the people who live in those quiet zones won't be able to fully inhabit the modern world. Their dogs will have to eat treats all alone. Their home heating systems will be woefully inefficient. They'll never buy an app. (Note: Some want it that way and move to places like Green Bank because it's electromagnetically old-school. )
If we live in a hyperconnected wireless world, which we already do, we learn less about the universe than we would if radio telescopes were the only technology in operation (at least until we can build a radio telescope on the Moon). But we're not going to stop making smart devices and linking them together, nor should we. We will have to find a way to manage and balance those interests. Not every iRobot will get what it wants. Not every pulsar will be discovered. Conversations like the one between the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and iRobot are just beginning. Go get yourself some popcorn. You won't believe what happens next.
When Paul Coleman summits Mauna Kea, the dormant volcano in Hawai'i that rises 13,796 feet above the Pacific, he is struck by two things. First there are the colossal observatories, whose domes gleam in the sunlight by day and glimpse the farthest reaches of the universe by night. Second, there is the red dusted mountain itself, which in his religion is the home of the gods.
But Coleman, an astronomer at the University of Hawai'i and a native Hawaiian, may be one of the few people on Mauna Kea who can fully appreciate this dichotomy. Today, the sacred mountain has become a battleground between astronomers, Hawaiians and environmentalists. The issue is that astronomers have placed 13 telescopes at its summit and now wish to build one more: The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), which will be the largest and most powerful yet.
The telescope's opponents argue that not only is the volcano sacred ground, it's environmentally fragile land and also ceded land, meaning that it should be used for the benefit of native people. While the operators of the new telescope have held many conversations with Native Hawaiians, conducted a thorough environmental impact statement and proposed paying $1 million yearly for the land plus another $2 million yearly to support local education programs, the protestors say it's not enough.
"Mauna Kea is our temple," said Kealoha Pisciotta, one of a half-dozen plaintiffs suing to stop the project. "It's not a question that we're against astronomy. We're just for Mauna Kea."
But for astronomers like Coleman, the colossal telescope is also a temple. With a mirror nearly three times larger than any other on Earth, it will see deeper into the universe than any other ground-based telescope. And built with phenomenal optics in such a pristine location, it will produce sharper pictures than even the Hubble Space Telescope.
Brain tissue is very soft and full of water, and through autolysis it usually begins to decompose rapidly after death. Nevertheless, it can sometimes be preserved.
In 1998, archaeologists excavated the fossilized remains of an 18-month-old infant from a burial site near Quimper in France. The child had died about 700 years previously, and its body was found wrapped in leather and placed in a wooden coffin with a pillow under its head. The skull had a large fracture, suggesting a brain hemorrhage as the probable cause of death – and still contained the shriveled remnants of the left-brain hemisphere.
The brain tissue had lost about 80 percent of its original volume but was otherwise extremely well preserved. The frontal, temporal and parietal lobes retained their original shape, and other brain structures, such as the characteristic grooves and ridges of the cerebral cortex, were visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, the researchers could easily distinguish between grey and white matter in CT and MRI brain scans. Microscopic examination of the tissue revealed that it even contained intact cells.
Last year, a team of Russian researchers reported another remarkable find – the partial carcass of a 39,000-year-old woolly mammoth, excavated from permafrost in the Sakha Republic, Russia, complete with a well-preserved brain.

Her baffling success sparked theories that GOP voters were voting for her hundreds of times to boost her scores.
This extraordinary passage raises a number of baffling questions.
This is the baffling, awkward dichotomy that is MTV in 2014.
1783, "bewildering," present participle adjective from baffle (v.); earlier a sailor's adjective for winds that blow variously and make headway difficult (c.1770s).
1540s, "to disgrace," perhaps a Scottish respelling of bauchle "to disgrace publicly" (especially a perjured knight), which is probably related to French bafouer "to abuse, hoodwink" (16c.), possibly from baf, a natural sound of disgust, like bah (cf. German baff machen "to flabbergast"). Meaning "to bewilder, confuse" is from 1640s; that of "to defeat someone's efforts" is from 1670s. Related: Baffled; baffling.
"shielding device," 1881, from baffle (v.).

ABSTRACT: To describe an innovative miniature visualization surgical endoscope and endoscopic techniques applicable to dental implant procedures. A newly developed modular dental implant endoscope is introduced, and the first impressions from its use in different implant procedures are reported. Details of the device that combines an endoscope, irrigation cannulas, and a surgical microinstrument channel are presented. The advantages of using it in dental implant procedures are described, and examples of how miniature visualization and surgical endoscopic techniques can be applied to increase the success of implantation are outlined. The new modular implant endoscope accurately identified all microanatomical and pathological structures, and simplified dental implant procedures. Endoscopy should be considered not only for intraoperative observation and assessment of implant sites, but also should be applied for active assistance during implant placement procedures.Journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery: official journal of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons 11/2010; 69(1):186-91.

Article: The Ductal Stretching Technique: An Endoscopic‐Assisted Technique for Removal of Submandibular Stones[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe an innovative surgical technique for the removal of posterior and hilar stones of the submandibular salivary duct.Methods: Between 1999 and 2005, 172 patients who had sialolithiasis of the submandibular duct were treated primarily by transoral incision and marsupialization of the duct and salivary gland. The ductal stretching technique involved endoscopic location of the stone, incision of the oral mucosa above the duct, isolation of the duct from the surrounding tissues, stretching of the duct, ductal incision above the calculus, sialolithotomy, and insertion of a drain.Results: Forty-one patients with stones located in the posterior aspect of the duct were symptom-free and stone free after the procedure. One hundred and five patients with stones located in the hilum were treated with a success rate of 98%. Twenty-six patients with multiple stones in the hilar region were treated with a success rate of 81%. The overall success rate of the procedure was 96%. In 48 patients (28%), an additional undetected stone was diagnosed by endoscopy after the removal of the stone in the hilum. In 62 patients (36%), strictures were diagnosed endoscopically posterior to the stone. Lingual nerve paresthesia occurred in one patient, who recovered completely.Conclusion: The ductal stretching technique is recommended as the procedure of choice in cases with posterior and hilar stones more than 5 mm in diameter to avoid surgical removal of the salivary gland.The Laryngoscope 05/2007; 117(6):1031 - 1035.

ABSTRACT: Calcifications found in routine and normal radiographs of the oral and facial region may turn out to be an interesting diagnosis. Although most of the radiopacities may be sialoliths, other differential diagnoses must not be exempted, such as calcified lymph nodes, phleboliths and other vascular calcifications, tuberculosis of lymph nodes or of the salivary gland itself. Several cases are presented which simulated pathological calcifications of the orofacial region and were diagnosed primarily as sialoliths, but further examinations revealed other pathology. These cases together with several suggested diagnostic modalities are discussed in this paper.Dentomaxillofacial Radiology 02/2007; 36(1):59-62. DOI:10.1259/dmfr/37796284 · 1.27 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This article describes the use of combined endoscopic and ultrasound approach to locate and to extract impacted parotid stones, which cannot be retrieved by intraoral approach alone. A total of 12 parotid glands from 7 women and 5 men (age range, 35 to 62 years) with parotid sialoliths were treated with the combined method. Eleven of 12 of the procedures were performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient clinic. The identification of the calculi was done in 5 patients with 1.3-mm sialoendoscope (Nahlieli Sialoendoscope; Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) in 6 patients with the aid of high-resolution ultrasound, and in 1 patient the location was combined endoscopy and ultrasound. The removal of the calculi was performed extraorally via minimal incision. The indications for the combined approach were 1) calculus in the posterior third of the Stensen's duct with too narrow duct anterior to it, 2) obstruction of the posterior or middle third of the Stensen's ducts leading to the calculus, 3) large (>5-mm) stones in the middle or posterior part of the duct that cannot be dilated for intraductal removal, and 4) intraparenchymal stones. Of the 12 patients, 9 had complete removal (75%); in 1 case with 3 sialoliths, we removed 2 and the gland remained asymptomatic. In 7 cases, the glands returned to function, 3 glands became atrophic with no function, but the gland remained asymptomatic. The aesthetic results were satisfactory in all cases, no major complications were noted. Combined endoscopic ultrasound approach is another minimal invasive technique for identification and removal of impacted parotid sialolithiasis.Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 01/2003; 60(12):1418-23.

ABSTRACT: Pediatric sialolithiasis is a rare condition. This article characterizes 15 cases in children between 5 and 14 years of age. The diagnoses of this condition were made with routine radiograph and ultrasound, as well as with sialography whenever possible. Sialoendoscopy was performed as a diagnostic and treatment modality. Thirteen of the 15 affected children were boys, and 12 of 15 cases occurred in the submandibular gland. We were able to diagnose 67% by our imaging methods; the remainder were diagnosed by clinical examination.Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology 01/2001; 90(6):709-12.

Eric Schmidt Suggests Peace With Apple is Coming, Dismisses Windows Phone

Schmidt also expresses frustration with patent wars; disdain for Windows Phone
When it comes to Eric Schmidt,
Google Inc. (
) CEO and his company's arch-nemesis Apple, Inc. (
), the ties that bind are almost as strong as the ties that separate.
I. Victims of Smartphone War are the Little Guys, Says Schmidt
During much of Mr. Schmidt's time atop the Google throne; he also
served on Apple's board of directors
. The two companies had a fruitful relationship and Mr. Schmidt
was close friends
with late Apple CEO Steven P. Jobs. That relationship fast deteriorated when Google decided to launch Android, a Linux based smartphone platform that would eventually come to heavily outsell Apple in the smartphone market in unit sales. Mr. Jobs
expressed a feeling of "betrayal"
at the decision, which not only spoke to his
zealous feelings of ownership
of the smartphone market, but also his strange relationship with Google and Mr. Schmidt.
In an interview with the
Wall Street Journal
Mr. Schmidt speaks optimistically that the pair can work out their differences with respect to patent litigation, commenting:
[Google's relationship with Apple has] always been on and off. Obviously, we would have preferred them to
use our maps
. They threw YouTube off the home screen [of iPhones and iPads]. I'm not quite sure why they did that.
[But] the adult way to run a business is to run it more like a country. They have disputes, yet they've actually been able to have huge trade with each other. They're not sending bombs at each other.
I think both Tim [Cook, Apple's CEO] and Larry [Page, Google's CEO], the sort of successors to Steve [Jobs] and me if you will, have an understanding of this state model. When they and their teams meet, they have just a long list of things to talk about.

Mr. Schmidt says that both Apple and Google are "doing fine" and that
neither side
has been able to gain ground in the patent war, much like the entrenched empires of the First World War. He says that the real "loser" in the patent wars are small startups, which might look to create an innovative news smartphone operating system as Android VP Andy Rubin did when his startup made what would later become Android back in the middle of the last decade. With all the lawsuits and junk patents, Mr. Schmidt argues such "garage" innovation is simply impossible in today's legal climate.
II. Former CEO Addresses Criticism, Says Microsoft is no Threat
The Google executive admits that his company long lagged Apple in terms of financially compensating developers. He remarks, "Google Play [Google's app store] and the monetization just started working well in the last year, maybe the last six months. The volume is indisputable, and with the volume comes the opportunity and the luxury of time."
As for the perennial question of whether Google
will or should favor new acquisition Motorola Mobility
over its third-party Android partners, Mr. Schmidt says that would be a "terrible mistake". He says that when the deal was announced he personally flew to meet with executives at South Korea's Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) -- the world's largest smartphone maker and foremost Android adopter -- to assure them that there would be no favoritism.
As for Microsoft Corp.'s (
Windows Phone
; Mr. Schmidt was dismissive of the operating system. He blasts, "I have not used it, but I think that Microsoft has not emerged as a trendsetter in this new model yet."
Eric Schmidt argues Microsoft's Windows Phone is no "trend setter".
Mr. Schmidt expressed hopes that
current antitrust investigations
Google's involvement in various markets
would wrap up. He says he has no interest working for the Obama administration in a government post, saying Google has always been his "home".

RE: Interesting, very interesting
If we are to get into the ethics of copying, then Apple wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Starting with the company name, which Apple lifted from well... Apple. (It's confusing to talk about, since what's now Apple Corps was just Apple back then, while today's Apple was Apple Computer.)
So then Apple and MS both lifted their OS design from Xerox. They got away with it legally, but I guess we're supposedly talking about ethics.
Apple took most of their ideas from others as they were growing in a company, and in Steve's own words, his company was shameless about it.
Even the iPhone design itself, as revealed in the Apple/Samsung trial was Apple's attempt to copy what they thought Sony was making, but without the benefit of a picture to use as a basis point.
So a company is going to talk about the evils of copying, it should be a company that doesn't do it themselves, wouldn't you think? Although, that might be hard to find, since almost all innovations are based on something that came before, and sometimes the improvements are pretty minor.
"I'm an Internet expert too. It's all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired." -- North Korean Supreme Commander Kim Jong-il
