Dopamine is a brain chemical called a neurotransmitter that
carries signals between nerve cells and helps the brain perform critical
functions. Dopamine helps the brain control motor functions and movement and
possibly to perform other functions related to mood.
An imbalance or shortage of dopamine can cause brain dysfunction
and disease. For example, in Parkinson's disease, underproduction of dopamine
interferes with the transmission of signals directing movement. This can cause
tremors, or shaking, often in a hand, arm, or leg as well as slow, limited
movement (bradykinesia), especially when the person tries to move from a
resting position.

Strabismus is an eye problem that may lead to amblyopia in children if not diagnosed and corrected early.
Strabismus is a word for eyes that are not straight or do not line up with each other. If the problem is not treated, it can cause amblyopia.
The misalignment results from the failure of the eye muscles to work together. One eye, or sometimes both, may turn in (crossed eyes), turn out (wall eyes), turn up or turn down. Sometimes more than one of the 'turns' are present.
The deviation may be constant or it may come and go. In young children strabismus may vary not only from day-to-day, but during the course of a day.
At birth, an infant's eyes cannot always focus directly on objects. They may appear to move quite independently at first, sometimes crossing, and sometimes wandering outward. But by the age of three to four months, an infant's eyes should have the ability to focus on small objects and the eyes should be straight or parallel. A six-month-old infant should be able to focus on both distant and near objects.
If parents notice crossed or wall eyes persisting in a child four months of age, they should immediately take the child to an eye care professional for an examination. Early medical attention is recommended for another important reason—to rule out the presence of a serious disease, such as a tumor.
During regular well baby exams, from birth to 2 years of age, pediatricians should use history and a vision evaluation to see if vision problems exist.
If there is any concern of an eye or vision problem the child should be referred for a comprehensive professional eye examination by an eye doctor.
Strabismus may be present at birth, it may become apparent at a later age or it may appear at any time in life as a result of illness or accident.
Approximately two percent of the nation's children have strabismus. Half of them are born with the condition.
It is critical that this condition be diagnosed and corrected at an early age since children with uncorrected strabismus may go on to develop amblyopia.
Certain children may appear to have strabismus when, in fact, they do not. An extra fold of skin near the inner eye, a broad, flat nose or eyes that are unusually close together may also produce the effect of false (or pseudo) strabismus. False strabismus should disappear as the child's face grows.
After an eye exam by an eye doctor, a parent's concern can be quickly dispelled if false strabismus is present.
Strabismus cannot be outgrown, nor will it improve by itself. Treatment to straighten the eyes is required. The types of treatments may be used alone or in combination, depending on the type of strabismus and its cause.

Rocket From The Crypt Del Mar-bound
Legendary San Diego rock band, which reunited earlier this year, confirms late August racetrack concert near the sea
Area rock fans chomping at the bit for a concert by the recently reunited Rocket From The Crypt can stop their chomping. The legendary San Diego band will perform Aug. 30 as part of this year's Del Mar Racetrack concert series, which begins tomorrow, July 19, with The B-52's. (Ticket information and the full concert schedule appears at the conclusion of this article.)
Rocket's show here next month follows an April tour of Europe and a June show at the Queen Mary by the band, whose European jaunt marked the group's first formal appearance since 2005. (In between came a surprise March 31 warm-up gig at Bar Pink, the North Park nightclub co-owned by Rocket leader John Reis, and a 90-second performance last fall on the children's TV show, "Yo Gabba Gabba!")
Reis discussed Rocket's reunion at length in a February U-T San Diego interview, saying:
"It feels like when we stopped playing (in 2005), it felt like the right thing to do. I'm just speaking personally. I felt like: 'This totally makes sense; nothing can last forever.' There was a point where we were kind of losing the passion. Not to say we didn't like each other, but there was a fierce amount of commitment that I didn't want to give anymore. And going (further) knowing that I felt that way just didn't get me very excited about the future (of the band).
"Then, after five years, I still felt very content not to do (Rocket) anymore. I was playing with other bands, so I never felt like this was something we'd do. And seeing, while playing with The Night Marchers, how commonplace it was for bands to get back and reform, it made me more cynical and it didn't seem like anything we'd ever do (with Rocket). so, it seemed like that was the end of it.
"We did 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' (last fall) for fun; I was going to be there anyhow (in his recurring role) and those guys (at the show) are massive fans of the band, so reforming for a kids show seemed like a completely appropriate thing to do, especially since some of us (in Rocket) have kids and watch the show. Then we started discussing things and we put it out there (to concert promoters) that everyone in the band wants to do it (a reunion tour).
"For me, it was like, for all these years we were playing (in Rocket before), we really wanted people to like us. We did everything on our terms and wanted people to connect, and listen to our music and like it. Now, because of this kids show, people started asking us to play concerts and it was almost like: 'Well, you wanted to have people like you, and now they're asking you to play and you're saying no?' So, it was like: 'We should do this'."
Rocket will perform Aug. 30 at the Del Mar Racetrack's Seaside Stage, which is located just beyond the west end of the racetrack's Grandstand. As in previous years, admission to the concerts is open to all ages, although attendees under 17 must be accompanied by a parent of legal guardian.
Ticket information appears immediately after the following schedule of performances. (As of this writing on Monday morning, the concert schedule has not yet been posted on the Thoroughbred club's web site, but it should be added later today.)
July 19: The B-52s
July 26: Fitz and The Tantrums
July 27: Sammy Hagar & The Wabos
July 28: Los Tucanes de Tijuana
Aug. 2: Iration
Aug. 4: Larry Hernandez

Canucks: Garrison busts out of slump with goal
In Jason Garrison's first eight games last season in Florida, he had no points in six of them.
It turned out to be a breakout offensive season for the 6-foot-2, 220-pound defenceman from White Rock. He scored four points (3-1) in his next three games and ended up with 16 goals and 33 points — parlaying the big numbers into a six-year, $27.6-million deal with the Vancouver Canucks as an unrestricted free agent last summer.
Heading into Wednesday's game with Colorado, a 3-0 Vancouver win at Rogers Arena, Garrison had no points in six games and the player who was a terror blasting from the point for the Panthers last season has been a no-show on a Canucks power play that's sitting in a mediocre middle-of-the-pack position. This is a power play that has the Sedins up front and Alex Edler on the other point, so there's no shortage of talent.
Garrison did break through with an even-strength goal, though, to open the scoring for the Canucks with a first-period rocket from the left point after Avs Erik Johnson's poor clearance attempt.
Still no joy on the power play, but for Garrison it's a work in progress.
"It's finding the lanes to the net and making some movement and supporting those guys," said Garrison, 28, before Wednesday's game. "I've just got to make sure I'm learning from that."
Garrison brushes off any suggestion that his numbers of last season — which was an eruption from the 5-13-18 he managed the previous season, his first full venture in the NHL — put the bar unfairly high.
"It definitely raises expectations, but I'm accepting those," he said. "I'm just trying to find where I fit in and where I can make the best contributions offensively.
"It's a short season and I've got to make sure I'm learning quickly. I'm not too concerned. I know I'll figure it out and be able to get some shots on the net."
Garrison does admit that moving to the Western Conference has also added to the challenge of getting comfortable in Vancouver. He's seeing teams every game that he's encountered rarely in Florida.
"When you know players, you get to know their tendencies," he said. "I've played these teams before, but obviously not as much.
"It's about watching video and listening to what the guys have to say about them."
Garrison was signed ostensibly to be a younger, less-fragile replacement for Sami Salo. He's shown so far he can play top-four minutes (second on the team, at 22:42 average ice time per game) and be effective against opposing top-six forwards, but the hoped-for even-strength chemistry with Edler hasn't materialized.
Head coach Alain Vigneault swapped his top four pairings during the game in San Jose on Sunday — putting Garrison with Kevin Bieksa and Edler with Dan Hamhuis — and looks to keep them that way for the time being.
"We felt we needed to make a couple of little adjustments there," said Vigneault. "I thought it worked real well in the L.A. (a 3-2 shootout loss) game."email@example.com

So, I missed the rain and I really missed the hard rain and by the time I left it was almost actually pleasant outside. Something like autumn even, but not really.
My front tire felt slightly softer than it did when I first got in this morning. I suspect that there's something wrong with it (a busted valve?), but I'm going to break my newly formed habit of constantly squeezing my front tire every time I stop because, aside from looking odd ("them bicycle peoples always fiddlin' with them their's bicycles" say the fictitious hill people driving their fictitious jalopies down the over-wide streets of upper northwest Washington upon seeing me), it dirties my hands considerably and that's always a pain. Nonetheless, the tires rode fine and I felt much more confident on the wet downhill part of my ride. There's something about these tires that make them feel more connected to the road than my previous ones. And now, I'm officially declaring myself a Schwalbe snob.
Frequently, when I'm biking along and I pass a bicyclist riding in the other direction, I look over and give some sort of nod of recognition. Not because I know him. And not (exclusively) because I'm looking for blog fodder, but mostly just to say "yeah, I know- biking, right?" which is really a nonsense phrase, but actually encapsulates pretty much what I'm feeling. However, I always have a hard time determining whether to smile or whether to keep the stoic "I'm biking and it's serious for some reason" face. There's probably a middle-ground, something like a blank stare + nod that means "I see you and I have no particular valence other than acknowledging you" but I'm not exactly wedded to that level of ambivalence. What kind of random look from someone you don't know would you like to get? Smile? Blank stare? Scowl? 'What me, worry'? Just ignore you and let you ride by in peace?
34th Street traffic was miserable. Bikes don't cause car delays nearly as much as cars cause bike delays. Finish the lane and maybe it'll be a different story. Otherwise, once that bike lane goes away, I'm riding on the sidewalk because too many drivers, much like gaseous materials, "expand" to take up as much of the roadway as is perceived available to them. It makes it hard to get by.
I saw the WABA crew (guy) on M street. A selection of stickers, pamphlets and maps were available:
|I took these ones.
And then I saw Michael. He shouted "It's Ride From the Sharrows!" Right! I mean, almost! The two girls waiting with their bikes to cross M looked back, but apparently the reach of this blog remains limited and I don't think they had any idea what he was talking about. I guess neither of them was L. We rode out to the middle of the bridge for an impromptu photo shoot and pleasant, as always, conversation. I really love running into people I know on the ride home.
In Roslyn, I saw a bike traffic jam.

A-11 Ruled Illegal
So it's gone. I have updated my original "A-11 Offense: A Pragmatic Approach" article to reflect this new development (I still get many hits and comments on that article). I have reprinted that discussion in this post for those who have already read the original.
The A-11 has now been ruled illegal. The ruling is consistent with this piece: rather than aim directly at the offense or the formation, the National Federation of High School Athletics has clarified the scrimmage kick exception to be limited only to fourth down. As explained in the full-post, the A-11's creators, Steve Humphries and Kurt Bryan, had found a way to transform the scrimmage kick exception (which all agree was at least originally intended only for kicking situations) into an every down offense by putting the quarterback more than seven yards deep. The new ruling eliminates this by requiring that at least four players on the line of scrimmage wear an ineligible jersey number (50-79), except on fourth down.
The A-11's creators have a few arrows left in the quiver. First, they have encouraged teams interested in the A-11 to break off from their state's rulemaking body to form a loose-coalition of A-11 teams, or all A-11 league for themselves. Doing so would require that those schools would not be eligible for their state playoff systems (because they would not be following the rules/procedures that other schools did) and would have to encourage the other, non A-11 league teams locally to play them using their brand of rules. This proposal has not been met with enthusiasm, to say the least.The other proposal they have floated, this time via email, is called "numerical camouflage." To me, part of this is an admission that the A-11 itself is not that innovative -- the major contribution Bryan and Humphries made was not the formation or the "super-spread," but was with toying with who was and was not eligible so as to confuse the other team (and officials). Basically, they would line up in the A-11 or old BYU type formations with three interior linemen, and give the eligible and ineligible guys similar numbers, like "68" and "88." This way they could still have everyone huddle up near (but not on) the line of scrimmage before the snap, and then, just like the old A-11, have some of them step onto the line and be set for only a second.
Whereas with the real A-11 each would be potentially eligible (before being covered up), here, although it would be foreordained that 68 would need to be on and 88 off, the defense might not be able to determine who was wearing 68 and 88 until it was too late. Make of that proposal what you will, but they are certainly determined.In any event, it's slightly sad to see it go. I never had any animosity against the offense (certainly not against innovation and being spread), but the scrimmage kick exception was never the proper vehicle.
Maybe football is moving the direction the A-11's creators say to being fully wide-open where linemen are a thing of the past, but why not do away with the eligibility restrictions entirely? Many states also have 8-man football leagues, which more closely resemble Arena football, which is itself something like what the A-11 proponents advocated for. Moreover, there was always so much confusion about the offense: so many thought that "A-11" actually mean that the offense could send eight, nine, ten guys downfield to catch passes, when the reality was that it only referred to what was going on pre-snap, and after the snap the offense had no more downfield receivers than the west coast offense or the wishbone. Maybe in the future we will continue moving that way, but it always struck me as bizarre that this was seen as some kind of ultimate and brand new innovation. As documented in the full-post, the actual formations have been around for fifty years, and the Canadians have been one-upping the A-11 since they can send six receivers out for a pass (rather than five as with every U.S. team, including the A-11), due to the fact that there are twelve players on each side.
If we want to change the rules we ought to do it head on. The memory of the A-11 will not fade away, and flag, Arena, and Canadian football are constant reminders of what is possible, if it is true that football is inexorably moving in the direction of being all-spread, all the time. I for one disagree that this is the only direction football goes. It is more cyclical than that and linemen are not as useless -- or as uninteresting -- as the A-11's proponents seemed to argue.
Moreover, even in the vaunted A-11 offense, the players who replace regular ol' offensive linemen are about as uselessly limited as can be: they stand on the outside of the formation and back up to possibly receive a lateral (which a lineman can currently do in any offense), but is otherwise purely a decoy. To me, the idea of the spread is to turn kids into threats by isolating them, moving them around, and unleashing them as downfield terrors.
All too often, despite its "wide-open" appearance, the offense tends to restrict the number of eligible downfield receivers (because the running back is needed as a blocker with only three linemen, the offense routinely only can release four receivers downfield instead of five) and it turns players who can do multiple things to the defense -- yes, linemen -- into mere bystanders. That's not spreading; it's bad arithmetic. And that's not an argument against the spirit of the game or to persecute them, it's just that I don't think you gain a strategic advantage from the offense besides whatever deception you might get from confusing the other team about who is and is not eligible.
But that debate is over for now, and will have to be taken up in the future. It no doubt will be.

Chris, great work as always. Not to be overly nitpicky (which I am) but I have to point out the image you show from the New York Times shows an illegal play, even under the A-11. As you point out in the article, the tailback is in the backfield for pass protection, yet the image shows 5 downfield receivers (quads plus the backside SE), so one of those would have to be an ineligible covered lineman.
I agree that most of the (post-snap) A-ll concepts are neither innovative nor are they now outlawed by the new rule - of note, covered linemen can release downfield on screens, so the defense does have to acount for them numbers-wise when they are spread out, even if only for the screen game. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the eligible/ineligible trickery continue on (4th down) punt plays.
One thing I would like to see with the new rule - some very good team (even best if this occurs in a playoff somewhere) that doesnt use 4 "lineman" on their field goal blocking unit get flagged on a last-second game winning attempt on an earlier down, then miss the kick from 5 yards back.
I will laugh and laugh if it happens. And no ref better withhold his flag in that situation either.

Wait a minute, just read the ruling on rivals:
"The NFHS changed the rule and said that on first, second and third down, there must be four players on the line with numbers 50-79. The snapper may have a number 1-49 or 80-89, but he is ineligible."
So the snapper is now ineligible on all non-4th down plays??? That would ban center-eligible formations like the swinging gate polecat and George Halas' "Bears Spread." Anyone have a clarification on this?
Looks like you read it right to me. I now wonder about xps. Does an extra point fall under 4th down rules or 1-3 rules? Did the rules people even think about this?

MOSCOW -- U.S. warnings that terrorists might try to smuggle explosives aboard Russia-bound flights have added to fears of attacks ahead of Friday's opening of the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The Department of Homeland Security has alerted airlines flying to Russia that they should be on the lookout for toothpaste and cosmetics tubes that might be used to hide explosive substances, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told U.S. news media on Wednesday.
An estimated 40,000 security troops have been stationed around the Olympic venues in Sochi in what Russian President Vladimir Putin has called a "ring of steel" protecting the games being staged just west of the restive Caucasus region of southern Russia.
In Moscow, extra security is visible at airports and hotels, but screening remains sporadic. European and U.S. passengers arriving on a flight from London to Domodedovo airport Wednesday night breezed through metal detectors unhindered even when the alarms were triggered by their bulging luggage.
The vast majority of foreign travelers to Sochi transit through Moscow as only two European flights, from Turkey and Germany, offer direct service to the Olympic venue.
Meanwhile, Russian news media reported that a key suspect in the twin suicide bombings in Volgograd in late December had been shot and killed by security forces in the Dagestani town of Izberbash. Dzhamaldin Mirzayev, 30, was suspected of training the two suicide bombers whose attacks on the Volgograd train station and commuter tram killed 34 people, said Rusel Temirbekov, a spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee, the rough equivalent of the FBI, according to the Itar-Tass news agency.
Chechens, Dagestanis and other Islamic communities that have chafed under Russian domination of the North Caucasus region for centuries have been agitating for an autonomous state in the mountainous area between the Caspian and Black seas.
Chechen warlord Doku Umarov vowed last summer to disrupt the Olympics to embarrass Putin, who has made the $50-billion-plus investment in the Sochi games a cornerstone of his efforts to project the image of a powerful new Russia.
Although U.S. officials have urged Americans to be vigilant if traveling to Russia, they haven't altered travel guidelines.
"If we should receive information in the coming days and weeks that changes our assessment of whether people should travel to Sochi, we will make that information public," National Security Council spokeswoman Laura Magnuson said.
Secretary of State John F. Kerry also declined to discourage travel to the Feb. 7-23 Olympics.
"I believe that anybody who wants to go to the Olympics, which is just a great event, should go," he told CNN.

Back in October a chum of the Informer's from one of the big infrastructure vendors told him that Apple was auditing LTE networks before allowing operators to offer the iPhone 5 as an LTE device. The Informer made a few calls to people in the know and was told the story was true, although Apple maintained a stony silence and nobody else, operator or vendor, would go on the record.
This week Swisscom launched the first LTE service in Switzerland and mentioned in its press release that the iPhone 5 would not be available at launch but that " Apple will provide a software update in due course for customers with an iPhone 5."
When asked why the software update was required, a Swisscom spokesperson told Telecoms.com that: "The iPhone 5 requires a software update since Apple only enables 4G access after having successfully tested their device on an operator's live network."
And there you have it, the first operator to publicly admit that it is Apple that decides whether or not that operator's customers can use its devices over the LTE network, and not the operator. This is a big deal.
Handset testing has always been crucial but the aim of it historically has been to ensure that devices meet network operators' requirements and will function in a way that does no harm to the network or to the relationship between the operator and its customer. Now Apple has turned the tables, judging whether the network is good enough for the handset, and that the network won't damage Apple's customer experience. (This from a company who told people they were holding their phones the wrong way because the antenna was dodgy.)
It has been observed that we live in a time when the network, despite being by far the most expensive piece of the mobile experience, has the lowest perceived value (compared, say, to the handset or the app) in the eyes of the end user. So you could look on the upside and say that Apple is reinforcing the importance of the network by running its own testing programmes. And Apple will find it harder to shift the blame for any problems onto the operators if it has given them its stamp of approval.
But equally you could argue, as many surely will, that this is something of a presumption from a company that contributes nothing to the cost of network deployment. What we don't know, of course, is how many—if any—operators' LTE networks have been rejected by Apple. Nobody's going to 'fess up to that, are they.

A model is a representation of a set of information constructs. A familiar model is the relational model, which defines tables composed of columns and containing records of data.
In Teiid, models are used to define the entities, and relationships between those entities, required to fully define the integration of information sets so that they may be accessed in a uniform manner using a single API and access protocol. Teiid can automatically map a relational model to JSON or XML for consumption via OData.
Source models define the structural and data characteristics of the information contained in data sources. Teiid uses the information in source models to access the information in multiple sources, so that from a user's viewpoint these all appear to be in a single source.
In addition to source models, Teiid provides the ability to define a variety of view models. These can be used to define a layer of abstraction above the physical layer, so that information can be presented to end users and consuming applications in business terms rather than as it is physically stored. These business views can be in a variety of forms: relational, XML, JSON, or Web services. Views are defined using transformations between models.
Types of Models
Teiid Designer can be used to model a variety of classes of models. Each of these represent a conceptually different classification of models.
- Relational, which model data that can be represented in table – columns and records – form. Relational models can represent structures found in relational databases, spreadsheets, text files, or simple Web services.
- Model Extensions, for defining property name/value extensions to other model classes.
VDBs contain two primary varieties of model types - source and view. Source models represent the structure and characteristics of physical data sources, whereas view models represent the structure and characteristics of abstract structures you want to expose to your applications.
Models and VDBs
Models used for data integration are packaged into a virtual database (VDB). The models must be in a complete and consistent state when used for data integration. That is, the VDB must contain all the models and all resources they depend upon.
Models contained within a VDB can be imported into the Teiid Designer. In this way, VDBs can be used as a way to exchange a set of related models.
Models and Translators, Resource Adaptors
Source models must be configured with a Translator and a Resource Adaptor with them before a VDB is tested in Designer or deployed for data access.
It is possible that multiple models may use the same settings, but each model must define these configurations.
Model Validation
Models must be in a valid state in order to be used for data access. Validation of a single model means that it must be in a self-consistent and complete state, meaning that there are no "missing pieces" and no references to non-existent entities. Validation of multiple models checks that all inter-model dependencies are present and resolvable.
Models must always be validated when they are deployed in a VDB for data access purposes.
Model Execution in Teiid Designer
Models can be tested in the Teiid Designer by issuing SQL queries in the SQL Explorer perspective. In this way, you can iterate between defining your integration models and testing them out to see if they are yielding the expected results.
Model Files
Models are stored in XML format, using the XMI syntax defined by the OMG.
Model files should never be modified "by hand". While it is possible to do so, there is the possibility that you may corrupt the file such that it cannot be used within the JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform.
Dynamic VDBs and Models
The information in this artical applies to the VDBs that are built using the Teiid Designer. If you are building Dynamic VDBs, much of the information does not apply in that case. However, even Dynamic VDBs have models but they only define configuration for importing metadata and Translators and Resource Adaptors.
- tei·id (TEE-id)
- adj. pertaining to a family of tropical American whip-tailed lizards noted for speed and agility.
- n. a set of open source enterprise information integration tools noted for their ability to rapidly create data services that can quickly adapt to changes in your IT environment.

AC/DC, 'Live at River Plate' — Album Review
When you get right down to it, AC/DC might be the most reliable band on the planet. In 40 years, they never once challenged fans with anything other than straight-up, uncomplicated rock 'n' roll played with fuss-free intensity. They never made a concept album. They never dabbled in pop, R&B, hip-hop or electronic music. And they never swerved from their playbook of barroom-meets-arena swagger dosed with a shot of heavy blues.
So there are no surprises on 'Live at River Plate,' their third concert album and first since 1992's 'Live.' The 19 songs on the two-disc album are a mix of old favorites ('Back in Black,' 'You Shook Me All Night Long'), a few cuts from their most recent album, 2008's 'Black Ice' ('Rock 'n' Roll Train,' 'Big Jack') and those AC/DC songs that work only onstage (a 10-minute version of 'The Jack,' 18 minutes of 'Let There Be Rock').
'Live at River Plate' was recorded in Buenos Aires over three nights in 2009 during the Black Ice World Tour. The shows marked AC/DC's first appearance there in more than a dozen years, so the audience sounds appropriately pumped. The band, already on the road more than a year by this point, had perfected their set, which pretty much included the same songs every night.
Not that there was much to be perfected in the first place. An AC/DC concert is not a Bruce Springsteen concert. Most of the songs sound like their studio versions, right down to singer Brian Johnson's tossed-off howls and grunts. So songs like 'Thunderstruck' sound great -- sharp, exact and free of any signs of age. (They were also included on 2011's live DVD, which also featured some behind-the-scenes footage.)
It's a crowd-pleasing set filled with the familiar and predictable. Of course they're going to play 'Highway to Hell.' And of course you'll hear 'Whole Lotta Rosie.' And of course they'll end with a literally explosive 'For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).' You know what you're getting with 'Live at River Plate,' which makes it as disposable as it is dependable.

Q. & A. on Bunker Hill with Nathaniel Philbrick, part 1
Here's the first part of my blog interview with Nathaniel Philbrick, author of the new book Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution.
Q. Your new book is titled Bunker Hill, but it describes the years before that battle on 17 June 1775 and continues to the end of the siege of Boston in 1776. How did you decide on the boundaries of your story? Did you start with the battle and expand, or did you set out to tell a story of the American Revolution and narrow in on that battle?
A. All of my books seem to be about communities under incredible stress and trauma, and from the first I wanted Bunker Hill to be about what the Revolution did to the inhabitants of Boston. I knew it had to end with the evacuation of the British, and it seemed natural that it begin after the Tea Party with the Boston Port Act and the arrival of General Gage and his army. Within those time constraints the Battle of Bunker Hill was the pivotal event—when a rebellion turned into a war.
Q. What aspect of the Battle of Bunker Hill did you find most surprising, or feel isn't as well known as it should be? What misconceptions do you think people have about the battle, then or now?
A. I don't think it's generally understood what a confused and confusing event it was.
The Americans' original plan was to postpone, if not stop altogether, an impending British attack by building a fort on Bunker Hill, which is on the north end of the Charlestown peninsula and would have commanded the approaches to Cambridge without directly threatening the British in Boston. But for reasons that are still not clear, William Prescott built his redoubt about a half mile to the south on Breed's Hill, less than a cannon shot away from Boston. Instead of delaying a British attack, Prescott ended up provoking the bloodiest battle of the Revolution.
The amazing thing is that the battle went as well as it did for the Americans, and that's led to another misconception. The British, not the Americans, actually won the battle, but they suffered casualties of almost fifty percent. As General Howe admitted, "The success is too dearly bought."
So there you have it, a battle named for the wrong hill that was won by the war's ultimate losers. No wonder people are confused.
Q. My favorite anecdote about the Battle of Bunker Hill revolves around Abijah Willard recognizing his in-law William Prescott on the edge of the redoubt. In The Whites of Their Eyes, Paul Lockhart raised doubts about that story, but you find it plausible. Would you please summarize the anecdote and the issues involved in judging its authenticity?
A. Early on in the battle a cannon ball decapitated one of Prescott's men. Prescott could see that the rest of his soldiers, most of whom had no previous war experience, were badly shaken. In order to inspire them, he jumped up onto the fort's parapet and began to strut back and forth, waving his sword and shouting at the British. Apparently Prescott was wearing a banyan—a long loose-fitting coat that must have been swirling about him like a cape.
Meanwhile, at that moment in Boston, General Thomas Gage was examining the American stronghold through his spyglass when he saw this maniac dressed in a banyan making a spectacle of himself. Standing beside Gage was a loyalist named Abijah Willard. Gage handed his spyglass over to Willard and asked if he knew who that crazy guy was. According to tradition, Willard recognized that it was none other than his brother-in-law William Prescott.
"Will he fight?" Gage asked.
"Yes, sir," Willard replied. "He is an old soldier and will fight as long as a drop of blood remains in his veins."
The story may seem too good to be true, but it comes from Prescott's son, which is a pretty trustworthy source, I think. Paul Lockhart is justifiably skeptical of the anecdote, pointing out that given the distance and the fact that eighteenth-century spyglasses were pretty primitive compared to what we have today it would have been impossible for Willard to recognize any face that far away, especially with smoke in the air.
My theory is that given Prescott's much-commented-on coat, a facial recognition was not required. I've played around a bit with eighteenth-century telescopes here on Nantucket and have come to believe that Willard recognized the coat, not the face, and said, "Aha, that's my madman brother-in-law Bill."
TOMORROW: More of this interview. And have you entered the contest for a copy of Bunker Hill?

(CNN) - Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez questioned decisions made by federal health officials about his friend and major donor Salomon Melgen, an eye doctor tied to a recent scandal surrounding Menendez, a source close to the senator confirmed Thursday.
First reported by The Washington Post, Menendez "raised concerns" with the officials' conclusion that Melgen had overbilled the federal government by $8.9 million in Medicare and Medicaid payments when treating patients at his West Palm Beach clinic.
Follow @politicalticker
In 2009, the New Jersey senator first contacted federal authorities about the government's assessment of Melgen. Taking the issue up with the director in charge of Medicare payments, Menendez claimed it was unfair to penalize the doctor "because the billing rules were ambiguous."
The Post, however, reported that Melgen was billing the government three to four times for injections from a single vial to treat macular degeneration.
Menendez again met with federal officials in 2012 to dispute the auditors' appraisal of Melgen's billing. The agency had demanded that Melgen repay the nearly $9 million in overbilling.
When asked by CNN Thursday about the new billing allegations, Melgen declined to immediately answer the question but said he would later return with a comment.
Separately, Melgen has made headlines recently for providing plane rides for Menendez in 2010 to the Dominican Republic–trips the senator didn't pay for until January of this year.
Menendez told CNN in an exclusive TV interview earlier this week that the pay discrepancy–worth nearly $60,000–was simply an oversight.
"I was in a big travel schedule in 2010 as the chair of the (Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee), plus my own campaign getting ready for a re-election cycle and in the process of all of that, it unfortunately fell through the cracks," he told CNN's Dana Bash, adding that when it came to his attention the payment had not taken place, he "personally paid" for it in order to meet his obligation.
Menendez, however, has also been in some hot water for raising questions before administration officials about a port security contract for a company in which Melgen has a stake. The company had a contract to screen cargo that went through Dominican ports, but Menendez argued last July during a Senate subcommittee hearing that Dominican authorities didn't want to "live by" the contract.
Asked if he used his influence to help Melgen, Menendez told Bash: "I have always advocated for issues and I have advocated for policies, and that's what I have done across the board."
Melgen's offices were raided by FBI agents and health care investigators last week as part of a fraud probe, fueling further speculation about his ties to Menendez. An aide to the senator, however, told the Post that Menendez was unaware Melgen was under formal investigation for possible fraud until the raid last week.
- CNN's Dana Bash, Adriana Hauser and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.
Sounds like he's been doing more than just "getting his groove on".
Democrats have become the party of corruption and scandal. Where is a real liberal supposed to go these days?
We take pride at our politicians even when they are bought by rich crooked donors. In all seriousness, why would a US senator want that position so bad that is willing to sell himself for a donation?
Another sleazy, corrupt liberal Democrat to join: Bill Clinton (perjury, disbarment and impeachment), Elliott Spitzer, Ex Governor of NY (call girls), Anthony Weiner, Ex NY Congressman (exposure), Tim Geithner, Ex Treas Sec. (tax cheat), Rod Blagoevich, Ex Governor of IL (corruption), Jesse Jackson Jr., Congressman IL (campaign fraud), Charlie Rangel, NY Congressman (tax fraud), Maxine Waters, Congresswomen (policial influence peddling), Ted Kennedy, Deceased Senator (manslaughter in death of Mary Jo Kopechne), William Jefferson, former LA Congressman (corruption with $90K in freezer)......
GOPers will cry foul and lambaste Menendez and Melgen over the alleged Medicare/Medicaid overbilling, etc., and yet they happily elected the biggest Medicare fraudster ever to set foot in this country as the governor of the very state at issue here.
"Democrats have become the party of corruption and scandal. Where is a real liberal supposed to go these days?"
Oh that's rich. Yuo think to convince "real liberals" to engage in a mass exodus from the Democratic Party? Bwahahaha. You guys are pathetic.
As i recall, the airplane ride was reimbursed, so I don't see the problem at this point. There is nothing clearly showing that Menendez did anything else. If there is that proof, then show it to me.
@JJ, if you think that only Democrats are corrupt, then you haven't followed the GOP. Governor Ryan from IL to start; Ted Stevens from Alaska just to start the list.
JJ wrote:
Another sleazy, corrupt liberal Democrat ....
Yeah, well Republicans have had their fair share politicians with troubles. I should point out that politically motivated House resolutions do not mean squat. Still Republicans take the top slots by a wide margin. They are on record as having the only President and Vice-President forced to resign, Nixon and Agnew. Ever since that fiasco Republicans have been trying to lay anything they can grope for on a Democrat....just to level the playing field, you know. 😉
uh oh. the disclosure may yet come to light, since the FBI is investigating.

So this attempt was fruitless, in wondering why strings should not be.
What I did find viable in looking for myself, is finding out where strings applicable features pervaded and what they were describing. Both bottum up and top down have to find approaches that emerge from a place that asks us to map this progress, and there is only one place that allows me to understand this operation.
The spectrum.
When you look at Glast operations this idealization of using the spectrum in cosmological discernation, helped to clarify why the move of strings to a cosmological operation platform was necessary from a experimental and scientific undertanding. Why was this move important?
It had to do with the amounts of energy needed to explore the principles of reductionism? How could we extend reductionism to a cosmological question about the origins of our beginning? There were no limitations as to the question of the energy that could be displayed for us all to wonder on that cosmological pallete, and here Relativity Ruled.
While complexity, asks us about the means of what is established in the forms, stands for us in our observations, as existing? Many people feel safe in what they can see?
I looked for comparative features. Like how ideas could emerge and as a good example of what math could issue from the minds of those whose good observation could speak about natures manfestations.
How good are the observatory minds of mathematicians? That would systematically describe for us this idealization of quantum reality and Relativity to join in a way that makes sense?
Macroscopic and microcosmo perceptions joined?
You say Time? Julian Barbour wants to do away with Time? Yet his goal is the same? He calls Time a human construct? What isn'taside from everythng else that we don't see? Science reveals a deeper truth?
Killing Time
Barbour posits that time is, in fact, an illusion - a measure imposed on the world by humanity. He explains this with the concept of a 'now', which he describes as a snapshot in time - a completely frozen, self-contained instant (much like a Polaroid photograph). Time is simply the measure of the space between two separate and unrelated 'nows.'
BarryTo offer that I am an engineer and a sculpture with a carear of problem solving. To offer that making me understand the final solution is to achieve making it clear to anyone.
I am somewhat like a philosopsher as you are, minus, the engineering, yet I am quite capable of peering past the veil that good minds construct.
In the end, what is taken with you might be the realization that of all the thought forms we have estanblished and created. The illusion that we move through, hides a deeper truth, and we were emersed within it the whole time. Science, verified the anomalies that we saw?
How much power then could we grant the mind who escapes this realization, to find that all the thoughts that have ever existed, were weighted with the gravity that held us to earth? That the forms, revealled a deeper realization of their beginnings?
As the temperature cooled, the solification was final and so was the idealization that manifested from the idea.
When is a pipe a pipe? Is a question about what supergravity reveals in the forms manifestation. Crystalization. What pattern emerges?
Betrayal of Images" by Rene Magritte. 1929 painting on which is written "This is not a Pipe"
Yet probablistic in nature, how could such things arrange themselves as they have?
There is a deeper question here about the reality. If the idea is born in mind how would it not burn up, comparative to the beginning of our universe? Yet nature has supplied a good analogy of bubbles that form, rise to the surface, and this could have been information that arose from the fifth dimension? It all arose form the mind of the subconsious? It was always closer to the source. Why Ramanujan and Einsteins note taking in the subtle realms help to spur the incubation of reality to a deepr level of questions.
People might say indeed, that this departure point from the sane world of forms, is the moving further into the illusions? But if we cannot find a way to free ourselves, then surely, one will accept the consequences of there reality, as they take it with them?:)

A post-game skirmish has led the NFL to dock the paycheck of Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams.
Williams was fined $7,875 for smacking Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman in the face following Sunday's game, the NFL has confirmed. That's about 35 percent of the $22,000 each player on the Redskins got paid for the wild card playoff game.
The incident took place after the Seahawks had beaten the Redskins, and as the two approached each other on the field, Williams told Sherman, "I'm gonna punch you in your goddamn face." Sherman responded, "Well then do it," and Williams then did it.
Williams is lucky the punishment wasn't more severe. He smacked Sherman in the face for no reason, he did it after a high-profile playoff game in front of tens of millions of viewers, and he did it at a time when scores of players, coaches and others were on the field and a major fight could have broken out. By the standards of what the NFL usually fines players, a $7,875 fine for this infraction is pretty light.

If the Loyola men's basketball team wanted to make its last game before the holiday break a memorable one, the Greyhounds certainly got their wish Saturday night.
For Mount St. Mary's, it sure seemed like a night to forget.
Loyola, which will now be off for 13 days, used a stifling defense and controlled the boards to defeat the Mountaineers, 79-57, in a non-conference game at Reitz Arena.
Robert Olson led the Greyhounds (9-3) with a career-high 22 points, going 9-for-14 from the field, including 3-for-6 from behind the 3-point arc.
Kristijan Krajina led the Mount St. Mary's (4-4) with 14 points.
The win helps Loyola cut into its series deficit against the Mount. The Mountaineers now lead , 96-72. The schools have played for 103 years, making their rivalry the longest for both schools.
"It's Loyola and Mount St. Mary's," said Greyhounds coach Jim Patsos. "There's always a lot of passion and a lot of energy. We came out with great defensive intensity tonight. We were just hungry to play again in our own gym."
It tookthe Greyhounds a few minutes to solve the Mountaineers' man-to-man defense, but then Loyola's defense began to assert itself. Loyola held the Mount scoreless for two long stretches in the first half. The first was for 6:15 to run the score from 4-4 to 11-4, and the second was for 3:35 to run the margin from 18-9 to 33-9 late in the half.
Loyola held the Mountaineers to 24.1 percent shooting in the first half, while shooting 61.9 percent themselves.
The Greyhounds were benefitting from the return of Erik Etherly. The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference preseason player of the year had been sidelined for the past five games with a shoulder injury. Etherly wasted little time getting into the offense, scoring nine points in the first half and finishing with 16.
Mount St. Mary's played much better in the second half and cut its deficit to 14 points (at 57-43) with 9:51 left, but the Mountaineers got no closer.
Olson said he didn't realize that his 22 points were his career high. He just wanted to get back on the court after the Greyhounds lost their previous home game to Niagara.
"Being with [Patsos] for 10 days after a loss is not easy," Olson joked. "This was my last time playing a Maryland team, and I just wanted to take advantage of it. I just wanted to go out and have fun, and that's what I did tonight."
For the Mountaineers, the loss was another learning experience.
"We're at the point now where each game is a learning process," coach Jamion Christian said. "You either win or you learn. Was this the kind of game we wanted to play tonight? Well, no. Anytime you play a good team and you don't bring your 'A' game, this can happen."

Vera List Center for Art and Politics
New School >

Ashley Hunt, A World Map, installation view in class room 405
The Vera List Center for Art and Politics is an idea incubator and a public forum for art, culture, and politics. It was established at The New School in 1992—a time of rousing debates about freedom of speech, identity politics, and society's investment in the arts. A pioneer in the field, the center serves a critical mission: to foster a vibrant and diverse community of artists, scholars, and policymakers who take creative, intellectual, and political risks to bring about positive change.
We champion the arts as expressions of the political moments from which they emerge and consider the intersection between art and politics the space where new forms of civic engagement must be developed. We are the only university-based institution committed exclusively to leading public research on this intersection. Through public programs and classes, prizes and fellowships, publications and exhibitions, which probe pressing issues of our time, we develop and support new roles for the arts and artists in advancing social justice.
The center identifies a topic of particular urgency and broad resonance and convenes artists, scholars, activists, public intellectuals, and political and cultural leaders to examine this theme in a variety of programs. The first annual theme, for 2004–2005, was Homeland, followed by Considering Forgiveness in 2005–2006, The Public Domain in 2006–2007, Agency in 2007-2008, Branding Democracy in 2008-2009, Speculating on Change in 2009-2011, and Thingness in 2011-2013. The theme for 2013-2015 is Alignment.
The Vera List Center (VLC) organizes panel discussions, lectures, workshops, and online programs that are created in consultation with the center's Advisory Committee and with current and former fellows. VLC publications feature transcripts of events as well as newly commissioned texts. Occasionally, the VLC produces exhibitions. The VLC directs the Vera List New School Art Collection Writing Award and, in collaboration with students, produces a self-guided tour of select pieces from the collection.
As of 2013, the Vera List Center has its own website listing live programs and documentation, exhibitions, publications, the Biennial Prize, writing awards, and a searchable archive of all programs since the founding of the center.

2 lb catfish filets*, cut in half length-wise
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 flour
1 tablespoon Old Bay
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1 teaspoon celery seed
juice of one lemon
oil for frying
Place fish in a shallow bowl, squeeze lemon juice over the fish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. On a plate, mix together flour, cornmeal, Old Bay, cayenne, salt, pepper and celery seed. Dredge the fish (both sides) in the mixture then place on a place and refrigerate an additional 1/2 hour. Meanwhile, heat enough oil to pan fry in a large, shallow pan. Heat the oil on medium high heat for about 15 minutes or until you can really start to smell the oil. Fry fish filets in the oil, for about 4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Make sure the fish is cooked through. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and serve immediately, although any leftovers will make good sandwiches the next day.
*If you don't have catfish, white fish (whiting) or even tilapia will do.

Magazine Cover Artists
You can't have art unless you have artists.
This is where we have discussions of who painted the covers, and what else they did. The most important thing we do on this page is direct you to more specific information pages about individual artists. We also link you to other sites, where more complete information is available.
Right now we have a first-cut version of a list of cover artists for selected magazine issues, organized by magazine title and issue date.
Additionally, we have a short introductions to Will Bradley, Howard V. Brown, and Enoch Bolles. Will H. Bradley, the American artist most closely associated with the Art Nouveau movement in America, did a series of covers for INLAND PRINTER in the 1890's that revolutionized Americans' expectations of what should be on the cover of a magazine. His posters were a major factor in the poster craze of that same period. Howard V. Brown did some of the most famous technically oriented covers for SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, RADIO NEWS, SCIENCE AND INVENTION ... and ASTOUNDING SCIENCE FICTION and THRILLING WONDER STORIES. Enoch Bolles was pretty much totally dissimilar to Bradley, but was a major influence in his own right; not in the same area, however.

Hi Everyone,
A few may remember me from the ol' satw***s site (Hi Limit! ). Since I no longer wish to support said site, I thought I'd introduce myself here. I'm a SIRI long since 2008, bought my first shares for 3.08, watched 'em tumble to .05, started rebuying at .09 and now years later, I hold exactly half of my original target share count. It's been quite a ride. I'll probably hold the remaining shares forever - not much of a trader. I absolutely love the service and the stock.
Anyway, my other favorite stock other than SIRI is a little company based in Niagra Falls, NY. They turn waste plastic into spec fuel. Yes, they do!
And now I present...
The good: Spec fuel from waste plastic. Pristine, low sulfur spec fuel. Fully permitted in NY state. Validated by independent labs. 10 year supply contract with NYSE:RKT. ~90% margins. GREEN. More processors coming online. $8M recently raised for upcoming processor cluster in FL onsite at a Rock Tenn facility. Billionaire investors. ETC.
The bad: So, they did some stupid things in the past and got themselves sued by the SEC last year. Long story short, they just settled with civil penalties of ~$300K and no fraud whatsoever. New management in place. New management consists of former Rock Tenn executives, including their new CEO. (Kevin Rauber) No chance of a repeat offense.
The ugly: And not so ugly... I'm simply waiting for 4th quarter results of ~$1M which will essentially validate that Kevin Rauber's promise of a cash flow positive Q1 is achievable. It's a bold promise, but production has been increasing over time.
It's taken off a bit since the settlement announcement. Currently at $1.10. It sat in the .70-.80's forever so I see that as bottom support. Now the suit is out of the way, word is getting out - this very well may be the first company of its kind with an economically viable green process.
The best thing about this company is the environmental impact they will have. 92% of plastic goes to landfill, and the only way to dispose it is to bury it or burn it - until now. I'm banking on this one. Been watching it for a year and a half. I've bought from .66 all the way up to the mid 3's last year, with a .95 basis.
It's looking like we hit at least 1.20 tomorrow (tues 1/29/12) and possibly even 1.50 this week, though I do see some profit taking pulling it back a bit soon thereafter. Keep an eye on it, there will be plenty of trading opportunities.
I'll post updates as they happen, good or bad!

The Julia Group is a group of three companies. An intersection of mathematics, programming and education. Our companies include:
The Julia Group, a collaboration of consultants with expertise in statistics, mathematics, instructional technology, programming and evaluation. Our clients are predominantly educational, social service and contract research organizations who are experts in their own fields but need some additional staff in our specialty areas.
We're the first to admit that we are an atypical company, having originated as a satellite office of a company with headquarters on the Spirit Lake Dakota Nation. We spun off as an independent company in 2008. In twenty years we have probably spent thirty minutes on search engine optimization and our website is revised annually whether it needs it or not. We choose our clients as carefully as they choose us, and it invariably turns out to be a long-term relationship. If you've found this site, it's doubtful you stumbled across it. More likely, you were referred to us by one of our clients or heard about us through our work. If you think we should work together, please send us an email or give us a call.
The Julia Group maintains a commitment to our vision of sustainable growth, of adding employees only for the long-term and taking no more business than we can complete with an exceptional level of quality. Bigger isn't always better. Better is always better. We try to make life better, for our clients, employees and contractors.
