If you ever feel low energy in your daily routine than it's likely related to your levels of this important neuro-chemical. Dopamine is one of many important neuro-chemicals to keep in balance.
There are some great foods and other natural ways of keeping these in balance – for dopamine the amino acid tyrosine is very important. I just found this list of foods for boosting tyrosine so I've been playing around with these.
Foods That Increase Dopamine
Dopamine is made from the amino acid tyrosine. Eating a diet high in tyrosine will ensure you've got the basic building blocks needed for dopamine production.
Here's a list of tyrosine-rich foods: (3, 4, 5, 6)
- all animal products
- almonds
- apples
- avocado
- bananas
- beets
- chocolate
- coffee
- fava beans
- green leafy vegetables
- green tea
- lima beans
- oatmeal
- sea vegetables
- sesame and pumpkin seeds
- turmeric
- watermelon
- wheat germ

VYPE Houston Fab 40 - Class of 2021
As the early signing day for the Class of 2020 comes to a close, it's time to take off the wraps of VYPE's Fab 40 for the Class of 2021.
It's the year of the offensive line in Houston. Eleven of the Top 40 prospects are bigs, who are coveted by college programs across the country.
Our No 1 prospect is Foster WR Cody Jackson. He has the size, speed and skill to become the next CeeDee Lamb (also from Foster). He's probably tired of hearing that comparison, but that is good company to be in.
North Shore super QB Dematrius Davis comes in at No. 1 after he completely dominated with his arm and legs in 2019. He's committed to Virginia Tech – let's see if the Hokies can hang on to him.
Check out the VYPE 1.0 Class of 2021 as the rankings will be updated and added to after Spring Football.

On the day before Decembers dawn i decided to record and upload a video for my cover of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, which was recorded last year.
The recording was fairly impromptu, i sat by the Christmas tree and sang away. The song is one of my favourites and it's nice that i was able to get a video online for it this year. Of course i was tempted to a Christmas video featuring snow but the chances of it falling are pretty rare where i live.
As stated in the my previous blog post, where i plugged my latest self-penned Christmas track i would like to make an album of Christmas songs next year should the fates allow. I'm not a religious man but i do love Christmas, for me it's all about being kind and loving (although we should aim to live that way all year).
You can download the song for FREE via my Bandcamp page.
I may do post looking back over 2016 during Christmas week but until then i hope you enjoy getting in the festive spirit.
Have yourself a merry little christmas!

John Krasinski as Analyst Turned Fighter Jack Ryan
At a time when America's intelligence agencies are being sorely tested, watching Amazon Prime's new thriller, Jack Ryan, does little to calm our fears. Finding and wiping out the latest terrorist threat, despite claims from President Trump that ISIS has been defeated, resembles a game of Whac-A-Mole. Defeat one insurgent and another one pops up with a creative and deadly plot. Although we know what we are watching is fiction, we hope that there are some real life Jack Ryans out there preventing the next attack.
The series is based on characters created by Tom Clancy, the best selling author of 17 novels, half a dozen made into feature films or TV movies. Clancy died in 2013, but his Jack Ryan, remains a popular hero. John Krasinski, whose breakout role was playing Jim Halpert on the NBC sitcom, The Office, made the transition from comedy to action thriller in 2015's 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, playing a former U.S. Navy Seal who joins the Global Response Team. While Krasinski's Jack Ryan, is also part of a team, in this case within the CIA, he often finds himself trusting his gut and making decisions that could land him in trouble with the higher ups.
Wendell Pierce and John Krasinski
Ryan is a CIA analyst, holding down a desk job while he follows the money. A series of suspicious transactions catch his eye and he's convinced they are linked to a dangerous terrorist known as Suleiman. He wants to place a hold on the funds, a tactic he's convinced will elicit anger on the part of Suleiman and possible force him into the open. However, Ryan's new boss, James Greer (Wendell Pierce), doesn't believe Ryan has enough information to warrant that move. Determined, Ryan manages to get the funds frozen anyway. He incurs Greer's anger, but also his respect as the strategy does indeed force Suleiman's hand.
Dina Shihabi and Ali Suliman
Suleiman (Ali Suliman) has a back story and slowly over the course of the eight episodes we learn what turned this formerly peace-loving man into a terrorist. Even his wife, Hanin (Dina Shihabi), no longer recognizes the man he has become. When he returns from his travels with a group of fighters, Hanin makes the decision to leave him, taking her children. Her son, Samir (Karim Zein), refuses to go, so Hanin leaves with her two daughters. But leaving Suleiman will not be easy and Hanin must evade the thugs he sends after her. Finally reaching a migrant camp in Turkey, Hanin is horrified to see a TV report that her husband has been responsible for killing with sarin gas more than 300 people in Paris. When her request to obtain passage to Europe is turned down, she tells an American officer working in the camp that Suleiman is her husband. Not believing her, he allows her to leave. Ryan will have to pick up her trail, hoping she will lead them to Suleiman before the terrorist can be responsible for more carnage.
Abbie Cornish and John Krasinski
Chasing terrorists can wreak havoc on your social life and Ryan's efforts to have a relationship with Cathy Mueller (Abbie Cornish), a physician specializing in infectious diseases, quickly goes off the rails when she finds out he's been lying to her about his day job. The scars on his back and a fresh wound he picked up in Paris should have tipped her off that he did more than sit behind a desk. But perhaps she's justified in believing that someone who lies about his job can't ever be trusted to tell the truth. (In real life, Krasinski is married to actress Emily Blunt, and he won many points from fans when it was disclosed that he flew home every weekend while filming to be with her and his two daughters. Sigh.)
Promoting Jack Ryan on Steven Colbert's late night show, the comedian taunted Krasinski about not being a credible action hero. It was all in good fun, of course, as the two went at each other in a knock-down and very funny skit. But we all know that action heroes come from some unlikely places. (Liam Neeson?) And Krasinski has nailed this role. He's everything an action hero should be – honest, hard-working, fearless, principled, and loyal to those he cares about. And he's bad ass in those fight scenes. Makes those who have played Ryan in the past – Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck, even Chris Pine – fade from view. He'll be back in season two, this time centering on unrest in South America.

Spectrometer is a spectroscope equipped with devices for measuring the frequencies of the radiation observed by it. Spectrometers were developed in early studies of physics, astronomy, and chemistry. It is the study of interactions between light and matter, and the reactions and measurements of radiation intensity and wavelength. The concept of a spectrometer now encompasses instruments that do not examine light.
While it provided a theoretical backing to early quantum research in radiation and atomic structure, it also has a staggering number of other applied uses; Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and X-ray machines utilise a form of radio-frequency spectroscopy, we measure the unique makeup and physical properties of distant astral bodies through their spectra and wavelength, and it's even used to test doping in sports.
Spectrometers the chief instrument used in spectrometric analysis, which are specialised pieces of equipment that measure radiation types and wavelength. Spectrometers separate particles, atoms, and molecules by their mass, momentum, or energy. These types of spectrometers are used in chemical analysis and particle physics.
Types of Spectrometer
There are multiple fields of spectroscopy. Some of the potential fields and applications include:
Mass Spectronomy – Sorts and measures masses within a chemical sample through their mass-to-charge ratio. This is usually done by ionizing the particles with a shower of electrons, then passing them through a magnetic field to separate them into different stages of deflection.
Once the particles are separated, they're measured by an electron multiplier, and we can identify the makeup of the sample through the weight of each ion's mass. Practical uses of Mass Spectronomy include isotope dating and protein characterisation. Independant roving space exploration robots such as the Mars Phoenix Lander also carry mass spectrometers for analysis of foreign soils.
Matter and Energy – Spectrometry is based on interactions between matter and energy. A sample stimulated with a specific kind of energy will respond in a way that is characteristic of the sample. Depending on the method, a sample responds to an energy input by absorbing energy, releasing energy or perhaps even by undergoing a permanent physical change. If a sample gives no response in a particular instrument, there is information in that result as well.
Biomedical Spectroscopy – This is a great example of the multidisciplinary nature of spectroscopy. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (a subset of MRI) is often used to diagnose and study chemical changes in the brain which can cause anything from depression to physical tumours, as well as analyse the metabolic structure of muscle. This works by mapping a spectrum of wavelengths in the brain that correspond to the known spectrum, and carefully analysing patterns and aberrations in those patterns.
Ultraviolet (UV) Spectrometers – Ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy works on a principle similar to that of colorimetry, except it uses ultraviolet light. UV spectroscopy is also called electronic spectroscopy, because the results depend on the electrons in the chemical bonds of the sample compound. Researchers use UV spectrometers to study chemical bonding and to determine the concentrations of substances (nucleic acids for example) that do not interact with visible light.
Atomic Spectrometers – Atomic spectrometers are used to find the elemental composition of samples and to determine the concentrations of each element. There are two basic types of atomic spectrometers: emission and absorbance. In either case a flame burns the sample, breaking it down into atoms or ions of the elements present in the sample. An emission instrument detects the wavelengths of light released by the ionized atoms. In an absorbance instrument, light of specified wavelengths passes through the energized atoms to a detector. The wavelengths of the emissions or absorbances are characteristic of the elements present.
Modern Spectrometry
The study of spectrometry dates back to the 1600s, when Isaac Newton first discovered that focusing a light through glass split it into the different colours of the rainbow, also known as the spectrum of visible light. The spectrum itself is an obviously visible phenomenon; it's makes up the colours of the rainbow and creates the sheen we will see on the surface of a puddle, but it took centuries of piecemeal research to develop the study of this phenomenon into a coherent field that could be used to draw usable conclusions.
Simply put, as natural light filters from space from celestial bodies such as the sun, it goes through various reactions in our atmosphere. Each chemical element reacts slightly differently in this process, some visibly, those on the 390-700mm wavelength which detectable to the human eye and some invisibly.

Short Film, Belgium
Role | Production Designer
This short film was released as part of the official album launch "what you need", for Belgium electro rock band – GOOSE.
In contrast to a music video the music is not the main character. The setting and environment is. The camera follows the band around in the building, on and off the stairs into the different sections of the former hotel. On their path they cross mysterious boys and girls. Some embody parts of the featured songs, others are metaphors of the band's inspirations.
Shot on location in an old building, formerly a hotel used in the early 1900s where freak shows were held, now the bands home studio. The film is an ode to that place and even more so a way of getting deeper into the artists world. What makes them GOOSE and what is the essence of that particular album.

It is commonly known that SPAD.neXt and Saitek/Logitech drivers cannot be run simultaneoulsy; otherwise conflicts will occur.
Here's how to avoid the conflict when running the new X-Plane FIP Gauges (using Saitek/Logitech drivers) together with SPAD.neXt; since the development of my earlier X-Plane gauges designed for SPAD.neXt has come to a stop for the moment.
Edit: Just found that there are still conflicts between the Logitech plugins and SPAD.neXt. Under this combination, all basic functions work ok but not the many extra features provided by SPAD.neXt.
Will explore further if there are solutions.
Step 1
Install the Saitek/Logitech FIP drivers (if they have been removed from the computer) — it is necessary for the Windows OS to recognize the hardware.
You could download the Flight Instrument Panel Drivers from Logitech's support web page here. Or if you have the older version 7 on hand, it works fine as well.
Step 2
Follow the instructions in Post 471 to install the X-Plane Plug-in.
Step 3
After restarting the computer, right-click on the Windows Menu bar at the bottom to call up "Task Manager" Continue reading

The criminal part of this story aside, what I am concerned about is that Ovations is sub-contracting out bartending services;
Ovations Food Services General Manager Chad Stoner sent KELOLAND News a statement about the investigation. Ovations is the food and beverage vendor for the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center. Stoner writes the company is working with, "authorities as they investigate allegations" He adds the alleged suspect "was not an employee of Ovations," but hired by a third-party vendor to work that particular concert.
1) What if someone gets ill or dies from the drugging that took place, who gets sued? The sub-contractor? Ovations? The city of Sioux Falls?
2) Are these 3rd party hospitality workers getting proper training on health, age verification, ADA compliance, etc.?
3) If the Events Center was supposed to create so many 'permanent' jobs (either part-time OR full-time) why are we sub-contracting work out to temps?
We should be very concerned we are opening the city up for civil lawsuits because Ovations is trying to operate the EC on the cheap.
As I have said 100 times, the EC was built to make a lot of people money, just not the citizens of SF, who get to foot the mortgage every year.

The Monument to the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon

33. The monument to the Three Witnesses was designed by Harold W. Burton, who later served as Church Architect and was lead designer of the Hawaii Temple and the Cardston, Alberta temple.
The Memorial Statues of Joseph and Hyrum Smith
Photo from virtualtourist.com
34. These statues were originally designed to fit into the "sculpture niches" beside the two doors on the east side of the Temple. The sculpture niches are there because in Biblical times the entrances to the Jerusalem Temple were carefully guarded by the priests. For a number of years, those niches held the statues of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, but they were removed and placed in the Joseph Smith Memorial Gardens on June 27, 1911.

This morning I decided that I would take Dan to Ashland for some long lining. I've been wanting to for a bit but just hadn't gotten to it. So today, I woke up early and we did it. And he was WONDERFUL!!!
Hetook a few tries to load up. He walked right on but didn't get up enough to do the butt bar and then backed off. But on the third time he stayed put politely and I closed him in. We got to Ashland and I groomed him. Dang is that boy dirty!! That white butt is hard to keep clean. Then we put the long lines on and off we went. He was happy to stride out and we headed to the path towards the grey barn. It's between two lakes... and once Dan saw the lakes through the trees, he hesitated. I walked to his head and led him through. He was a little snorty but happy to go with me at his head. Then he walked off again. Until he saw a fallen tree. I had to lead him at his head again. But then.. he was great. He walked off very well and bravely and even crossed the bridges without hesitating. We walked around to the lake through the woods and even did a little trotting. He wanted to trot! But he kept it nice and polite. Then at the lake I undid his surcingle with the thoughts of letting him have a little swim. He went in and splashed a bit but didn't go for a swim.
So then we "tacked" back up and went off again. He did great... strode right off with a nice big forward stride. We crossed a few more bridges and then hit the creek. He stopped at the creek. It's noise and pretty swift. So I led him through again and then we turned around. He cracks me up... He was like "Oh...what's this?? I don't know about this"... and then once I showed him and turned him around.. he was all cocky and spunky and just barged right on back through like "I got this..I was just kidding before!". Hee hee. Such a little twit. So then we went up the hill and he was trying to canter. At this point, I was getting tired so I wouldn't let him trot as much and he was trying so hard to trot.. he was trotting at my walk speed.. Then he'd put his head down and hunch his back up and try to canter and buck a bit. Goofy! hee hee... But he was really good! So then we ended up in the big XC field and something on the edge caught his eye so I led him again just a bit. Then I drove him through the water complex and back to the barn. He had worked up a sweat so he got a rinse off and he loaded up pretty quickly and home we went.
SUPER STAR!!!!! Man... I love this kid. I was just walking behind him laughing at his little booty jaunt and thinking.. "I cannot wait to get on him"!!

As Entrepreneurs, we all need to communicate constantly, whether in person, via mail, chat or presentations. It is imperative to be clear, compelling and responsive as possible. People find it difficult to connect when what is clear to you may be unclear to your clients. All the great leaders have one thing in common-their outstanding leadership skills. Now the question is how to communicate effectively –
Never underestimate the power of non-verbal communication
According to a study, non-verbal communication is a major contributor of how an audience perceived a presenter. That means you need to pay special attention to non-verbal cues while presenting yourself. Adopt proper posture, avoid folding arms, maintain eye-contact and no slouching.
Don't divert the minds by relying on visual aids
Steve jobs had forbidden the use of PowerPoint presentation. According to him, visual aids hinder rather than help communication. Use better arms to put forward your viewpoint such as use impressive words, compelling story telling and non-verbal cues to support your take.
Seek honest feedback
In order to become better communicator, it is critical to receive honest feedbacks from peers, managers, team and clients. If you regularly work to solicit feedback, it will help you to figure out areas for improvement.
Interaction is the key
If you will keep boasting about your idea, product or service, rather than engaging audience in discussion, the interest will be lost somewhere. Encourage people to present their thoughts or ask the audience a question. The idea is to stimulate the audience in every way.
Take care of key points
The best way to have a clear communication is to make sure you employ key points at the very beginning and at the end. This can be easily achieved by providing attendees with a one-pager that includes key points audience should consider.
Master the art of timing
Have you ever wondered why these standup comedians are effective communicators? Because they have mastered the art of timing. Sense of great timing means knowing when to move on to a new topic and when to reiterate the idea.
No cramming
Write down the series of things you are intended to discuss but do not memorize word for word. Go with the flow. This trick will allow you to cover all the important aspects while providing flexibility as to how to communicate based on audience reaction. Entrepreneurs should adopt an extemporaneous speaking style. It is a more natural way of communication. Though it takes practice but it can help with audience engagement.
Know your target audience
It is must to know your target audience before words coming out of your mouth. Each audience will have different choices, cultural norms and preferences. If your audience understand simple words, there is no point to be verbose.
Add story or something funny
Instead of taking examples from routine, situations, it is better to add some sort of novel event. It has to be something catches people by surprise.
Be a listener
This is one of the most important things to follow. Listen more than you talk.

Since launching on PC way back in October of 2013, Warface has grown in popularity with the eSports community and currently holds a Guinness World Record for having the most players online simultaneously on one dedicated shooter server. While the free-to-play online FPS did eventually launch on the Xbox 360 in 2014, this successful but short-lived experiment ended in 2015 and left many wondering if there would be more iterations built for multiple consoles released in the future.
Fast forward to last month and the official announcement that Warface is coming to both PS4 and Xbox One later this year. Having attended a recent preview event in San Francisco, I had an opportunity to experience this version of the game in all its glory and walked away impressed and eager to play some more. Here are more of my thoughts on Warface and why its a great alternative to Battlefield V and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Warfare could be best described as a free-to-play online multiplayer modern military first-person shooter. Players take on the roles of Warface squadron members as they attempt to take down a multinational military unit referred to as Blackwood. There are four distinctive playable classes to choose from including Rifleman, Medic, Engineer, and Sniper. There are also several different PvP modes and PvE missions and raids for players to dive into.
The first mode that I spent some hands-on time with was Free for All where every player is tasked with racking up as many kills as possible within an allotted time period. The maps ranged from large to small, making certain encounters more challenging than others. While this mode is typically a standard feature in most multiplayer games today, this highly competitive experience felt both natural and exciting from start to finish. It's also worth noting that once you learn the controls, you'll feel very comfortable playing through every multiplayer mode and may even persuade some of your friends to join you on the battlefield.
Speaking of playing with friends, Team Deathmatch also provided a great deal of enjoyment throughout my play session. These 10-minute matchups pitted Warface soldiers against Blackwood agents and the first team to score 150 points is granted the victory. If you've played Team Deathmatch in other shooters then you already have a good idea of what to expect from this mode. The key point to remember is that solid communication between you and your squadmates will always better your chances of survival.
In terms of PvE missions, Special Operations was easily the best and most immersive experience that I had during my entire time with Warface. These are very similar in tone and execution to raids that you might have played in other Xbox One video games like Destiny 2 but the story based objectives and varied enemy types keep things even more interesting. I'm very curious to see how this mode will be received by other console players as it very well may be where they spend most of their time once they pick up the full game. It's also worth noting that Warface will have a 32 player Battle Royale mode but unfortunately, that wasn't yet optional for me to play during the preview event.
The final PvP mode that I tried out was titled Plant the Bomb. This was essentially another variation on Team Deathmatch with the exception that one attacking team has to escort the plant bomber to a designated area while the defending team has to stop the other team by either killing all their players or defusing the bomb after its planted. Each round lasts for roughly two minutes and there's no respawning within the same round after a player is killed. Much like Team Deathmatch, this mode definitely requires strong communication among teammates to achieve the best results.
After playing Warface for a couple hours across four different multiplayer modes, I can confirm that the console version of this popular free-to-play online FPS is every bit as competitive and exciting as it's PC counterpart. The intuitive controls, beautiful visuals and the staggering amount of content for a free-to-play game will definitely appeal to many and is destined to grow the fanbase even further. If you enjoy military-themed first-person shooters and you still haven't played Warface, then this is definitely one version of the game that you should seriously consider trying out. Stay tuned for more of our coverage on Warface over the next few months and feel free to check out a few additional screenshots included below.
Warface launches in early access on August 14th for PlayStation 4 with a full release expected sometime in September. The Xbox One version will enter early access and get a full release also in September. Are any of you planning to check out either console version of this game? Please feel free to let us know in the comments section below.

The Rust Belt was the name for the band of (largely ruined) habitats orbiting Yellowstone.
When the Melding Plague first emerged the Glitter Band -- the ten thousand pristine habitats that orbited Yellowstone -- remained intact far longer than their terrestrial cousin, Chasm City. Unfortunately, that was not to last. Eventually a handful of orbitals were infected and destroyed, and their destruction was the catalyst that brought about the ruin of the rest. As infected pieces of former habitats were thrown throughout the Band, a cascade effect was initiated that only a fraction of it weathered.
Known intact habitats (before/during the Conjoiner-Demarchist War) include Carousel New Copenhagen and Carousel New Brazilia.

I walked by this Vince Camuto tie neck blouse at Nordstrom and was immediately intrigued. I've never really been into the whole menswear look but I think this blouse is the perfect mix of feminism/menswear! Brooke and I were on the same wavelength while jean shopping. We both ended up buying a pair of Paige denim. I mean these are seriously the most comfortable jeans I've ever purchased! They are super stretchy (will definitely be needing that extra stretch with the holiday's coming up, ha!) and feel like leggings. I also tried on this pair but decided to go with the black so I could get more use out of them – I love the green though, so cute for the holiday's! I ran down to the Nordy's shoe department (aka heaven!) and picked up these blue Sam Edelman pumps – thought it tied in well with the tie 😉 Shop more of my favorite Nordstrom pumps here!
Big thanks to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!

Its been close to half a year since I saw Jen, and I was hoping that it would snow so hard yesterday that she had to stay another day! The morning rides were beautiful with the backdrop of snow flurries coming down. But by afternoon it was just plain ole clear and cold. As usual, Jen rocks. She taught 11 of us yesterday and everyone that I watched left the arena with huge smiles and some insight into their horse and themselves.
It is days like yesterday that I really appreciate my boarders because Lori made a giant crock pot of chicken and dumplings for everyone! It makes me, and Im sure others, feel welcome and happy. People want to be here and they take care to look out for each other. Sometimes I read on the COTH forums about how ugly the barn atmosphere can be for some and I thank my lucky stars that we have such a great collection of people and horses here at Polestar. I was also thrilled to see so many students stay to watch rides other than their own. There was a jury of students huddled under blankets watching the rides and learning all they could, providing peanut gallery feedback too. Of course…. I ride at the end of the day and there was nobody to see Lacey! Where is the love??? Kidding, it was 6:00 and Im sure that I would have left also if I were cold and had to drive home. But everyone missed a treat. Lacey, a new mare in training, was fantastic. She is missing a lot of strength and fitness over her topline, but the buttons are all there. She and I worked on establishing a waiting relationship… her waiting for me to ask her to do things. Lacey is into volunteering. She sees the diagonal across the arena and she volunteers to extend. She feels an outside bend at the canter and she volunteers like the Salvation Army to pop in a lead change. She is a lovely horse and she nearlly jumps as well as she does dressage. We are re-negotiating the "wait" to the jumps, and it is coming along nicely.
Its snowing again right now, and I imagine that it will be crickets here all day long. Mondays are like that, but the horses deserve a nice rest in their stalls after such a busy weekend.

Whose problem is it?
Small Pond Science reminded us all some years ago that "disadvantaged students come from disadvantaged universities" and recently contended that NSF graduate fellowships are part of the problem of underrepresentation of minorities in sciences. The post (which is worth reading, along with the comments) continued on to excoriate NSF: "If the Graduate Research Fellowships aren't a genuine part of the solution, than where the heck can we expect a solution to come from within the NSF?"
OK, so this is where GG got grumpy.
Now don't misinterpret: there is a huge problem in getting minorities into earth science (GG cannot speak for other sciences) and it makes sense for there to be efforts to get minorities and disadvantaged students (these are not always the same people) into the field. Where things start to go off the rails is in assigning this task to NSF, the National Science Foundation. Why? Because the main goal of NSF, the main goal of the scientists who help by participating in the review process, is to get the very best science funded. And trying to expand the pool of potential scientists probably involves investing in a lot of not-so-great science and not-so-strong universities, investments people working at the highest levels of the field may be loathe to make. Demanding, as the Small Pond Science post does, that NSF take the lead on this asks a community to try to balance a duality of interests, one side of which is relatively foreign to many in that community. Maybe tasks like this should be shifted to the Department of Education at the federal level, an agency with 10 times the budget of NSF. Kicking NSF in the shins because your undergrads didn't get grad fellowships may not be the most useful response.
It isn't even clear to GG that satisfying Small Pond Science's desire for NSF to pump more money towards 4-year college students would succeed. Like many walks of life, children of scientists are more likely to consider science as a career (next time you watch a professional sports match, see how many times a player's parents come up in the commentary; sports stars, too, tend to follow in a parent's footsteps), perpetuating economic and racial inequities in the field. Science is not, by and large, a particularly remunerative calling; many disadvantaged but capable students will find fields with higher salaries and a shorter path to financial security far more attractive, while students from financially stable backgrounds are more apt to risk years of relatively low income (grad school and postdoc purgatory) to pursue a scientific career. After all, spending six years getting a PhD doesn't guarantee anything other than six years not earning a living wage. And there is the issue of "do I see myself in that community"? Earth science in the US remains depressingly lacking in many minorities; jump starting minority participation will probably require a set of students who don't care as much about what the community looks like at present. So it seems unlikely that the percentage of students getting grad fellowships will be the same for graduates of Harvard and CSU Dominguez Hills anytime soon.
So how might we solve this problem? As Terry McGlynn (the author of the Small Pond posts and a CU graduate) notes, "If we want to diversify STEM, we've got to cultivate a broader foundation. If we want to diversity STEM, we can't expect that the next generation of graduate students will come from the same elite undergraduate institutions." Here's the problem: you won't solve this by trying to make every undergrad institution into a top-flight research school. There simply isn't the cash. That's the path many of the CalState schools have tried to blaze, but between the limited dollars at NSF or NASA for research and the different demands on the faculty at such schools, it is hard to get much more than a watered down mess across the board. (That said, some individuals in earth science who have simply required very little money have both managed to conduct capable research careers and foster students who have gone on to success at the bigger name places; these folks should be celebrated. But these are unlikely to be the main solution). Terry works far closer to the real issues than GG, but it sounds like a lot of the problems he sees are capable undergraduates not being steered into graduate programs. If this is truly the problem, then some of the weight might be taken by partnerships of research universities pairing themselves with 4 year schools to provide mentoring and guidance. Students interesting in earth science, for instance, can come out of a 4 year school with no idea of the breadth of the field or the different specializations out there simply because there is nobody at their school who knows any of that. They might apply to schools that simply are terrible matches because, well, they simply don't know any better. Such students–who might be very successful in the right places–might back away from a graduate education simply because they were knocking on the wrong doors. Similarly, 4 year schools might be unaware of the qualities graduate programs look for in potential students, and some kind of more effective pairing might help to inform them so they can better advise their students.
A problem GG has seen from the other side are disadvantaged students pushed towards graduate school by some well-meaning programs when those students are simply unprepared to succeed at the next level. This is poison in multiple forms: we certainly don't want to admit students only to have them fail, and failure at this level can be more devastating than not trying at all. Furthermore, such failures discourage faculty at research schools from risking the admission of similar students. There are two possible paths forward. One is to have at the graduate level the resources necessary to bring such students up to the academic level necessary to complete a degree; the other is to better insure that students depart their undergraduate school with the skills and preparation necessary to succeed. The first really requires the acquisition of skills and capability at a level where the expectation would be that you'd see some such students frequently enough to justify the cost and specialization. There are such programs (GG's is not one); it would probably benefit many 4 year schools serving underprivileged students to identify such programs as likely targets for their graduates. The second puts a greater burden on poorly financed undergraduate schools which might already have struggled to overcome educational deficiencies for students when they entered college.
Would changing NSF graduate fellowships solve all this? No. If anything, the statistics in the Small Pond post argue that the grad fellowships are a symptom more than a cause.
