NERC's RRS James Cook and the Black Smokers
Posted 12 June 2013 | | 0 Comments
I've always been interested in topography and mapping - I remember summer holidays as a young teenager in the 1970s on the Côte d'Azur, snorkelling and scuba diving around a local bay under the supervision of my dad, taking depth soundings with plumb lines before mapping it all out on graph paper, and then annotating the appropriate marine ecology and habitats therein.
Back in the mid-noughties, at IP Performance, we'd been championing the Avocent HMX Desktop KVM (Keyboard, Video & Mouse) solution - a digital Ethernet/IP-based, high-performance, switchable, high vide...read more

3e-Houses Project: New solutions and unexpected problems
Posted 15 December 2012 | | 0 Comments
For the last two years I have been working with my colleague Dr Alan Holt on a pan-European project to pilot IT and smart metering systems in social housing. Part-funded by the European Commission, the objective of the 3e-Houses project is to help households reduce their energy bills through the deployment of ICT and smart meters.
The project team is made up of organisations from across Europe including Spain, Germany, Bulgaria and of course, us here in the UK. IP Performance are working particularly closely with the UK partners: Bristol City Council, Toshiba Resear...read more

The Computer Renaissance
Posted 31 May 2012 | | 0 Comments
I am one of those industry professionals raised on the BBC Micro. The BBC Micro was one of a number of micro computers developed in the 1980s. It came in two flavours, model A and model B. The model B had a 4 MHz 6502 processor and 32 Kbytes of main memory. Cassette tape was used for secondary storage, though you could get 5 ¼ inch floppy drives. At the time, it cost £400. Contrast this with what you can get for the same amount of money today.
The huge amount of power that is packed in today's computers means they can run highly sophisticated software much more s...read more

Transparent Proxy Redirect with JunOS
Posted 3 May 2012 | | 14 Comments
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog article about doing transparent intercept redirection with the Allot NetEnforcer using its 'Traffic Steering' feature. This week, I thought I'd cover off another method of transparent redirect, but this time using some of Juniper's product portfolio, namely the EX switching platform and SRX firewall and, as always, my favourite proxy of choice, a Blue Coat ProxySG.
I've mentioned before, transparent proxy is my preference. With the Blue Coat ProxySG as your proxy,...read more

Extending Blue Coat's ProxySG Capabilities with the SpamHaus DROP List
Posted 27 April 2012 | | 0 Comments
For some time now, the well regarded SpamHaus global DNS Blacklist system has been helping mail servers to protect against SPAM and other unwanted mail content. It's a mature, autonomous system which allows mail servers to run a Blacklist check against connecting IP addresses to verify their 'trustworthiness' and if found to be untrustworthy (due to previous sending of spam, belonging to a dynamic IP address range which shouldn't' be sending email, etc), the email communication is rejected. Great stuff, 'nuff said. Good work SpamHaus!

Traffic Steering with Allot Communications NetEnforcer
Posted 19 April 2012 | | 6 Comments
A problem fell onto my desk the other day concerning the use of a particular feature on the Allot AC1400 NetEnforcer, Allots AOS-based appliance which is a high capacity bandwidth management device that can help network administrators control, manage and above all give visibility to protocols running over network links.
The feature - Traffic Steering - is a delightfully simple, yet very useful capability that allows the NetEnforcer to transparently redirect selected traffic to a Service Port or designated link and is available on all AOS (Allot Operating Syste...read more

Ricardo Young is Transfering
Wednesday afternoon sources told TKP that Ricardo Young was transferring. Eric noted as much on his Twitter account, as did I.
We didn't know where he intended on going, or when an official announcement was happening, just that he was moving on.
Fast forward to today. BeamerBall.com made an announcement that Young would miss Tech's first open scrimmage on Saturday because of "personal reasons".

Ronn Richard 2011 Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards Remarks
Good evening. I'm Ronn Richard, president and CEO of the Cleveland Foundation. It's my great pleasure to welcome you to the 76th annual Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards ceremony.
I can't tell you how thrilling it is to see a full house for our opening night here in Playhouse Square. We will always think back upon our years at the Cleveland Play House with nostalgia. But the change in venue didn't slow demand for almost 1,000 tickets, most of which were snapped up the first week. That's a testament to the respect this prize commands – and to you. Never let it be said that any group anywhere can out-read Clevelanders!
I want to extend a special greeting to our internet audience. We're streaming our ceremony live, thanks to a collaboration between Playhouse Square and Ideastream... Read More →
Young Poet, Essence Cain, Performs at 2011 Anisfield-Wolf Ceremony
Since 2009, an emerging young poet from Northeast Ohio is celebrated along with the winning authors at the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards ceremony in Cleveland.
At the 2011 ceremony, Essence Cain, a sixth-grader at Miller South School for Visual and Performing Arts in Akron, Ohio, recited "In the Flower Market," a poem she and her classmates wrote for "Speak Peace," an international youth arts program created by Kent State University's Wick Poetry Center. American children in the program wrote poems in response to paintings created by Vietnamese children. The exhibit of paintings and poems is traveling nationally through 2013.
Essence has appeared in plays and musicals at venues throughout Ohio. She was a contributing writer and reader for the animated e-greetings of the 2009... Read More →

Surrealism and the Dream

<exchanging gazes> 7: The Rhythm of the Earth. 17th century Dutch and 19thcentury American Landscape Painting
New Display of the Collections
From 24 September 2013 to 6 January 2014
Four Piece Orchestra shows three members of an improvised or amateur band in a greatly simplified outdoor setting, seated on a wooden bench in a park or village square. As in other paintings by Ben Shahn, the image is inspired by one of his photographs. In an interview with Richard Doud in 1964, Shahn confessed that his need to take photographs had arisen precisely from the sight of a street band: "I was working around 14th Street and that group of blind musicians were constantly playing there, I would walk in front of them and sketch, and walk backwards and sketch and I found it was inadequate. So I asked my brother to buy me a camera because I didn't have the money for it."
Except for the cello, all the instruments are typical of popular music; indeed, perhaps this is why the artist draws a distinction between the working-class garb of the violinist and guitarist and the dark, formal suit of the cellist. The solemnity of the image led Gail Levin to interpret it as an allegory in which the members of the orchestra symbolise a situation alien to them which, judging by the date of the painting, could be the Second World War.

A McDowell County man who claimed a camera flash caused him to accidentally shoot and kill his wife has been convicted on a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter.
A jury deliberated for a little over two hours Wednesday before coming back with a guilty verdict on charges of involuntary manslaughter, wanton endangerment and child neglect creating a risk of injury against Victor Horn, 45, of Big Sandy. Horn was originally charged with first-degree murder in connection with the Feb. 8, 2011 shooting death of his wife Madeline Horn.
McDowell County Circuit Court Judge Rudolph J.
Murensky II set a Sept. 7 sentencing date in the case.
Horn said he and his 12-year-old son were posing for a picture his wife was taking, and he was holding a gun, and as the flash of the camera went off, he lowered or dropped the gun and it accidentally went off when he tried to grab it. However, the state argued the man would have had to have gone through a five-step process, including activating the lever and cutting off the safety on the Winchester 30-30, for it to have went off as he claimed, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Davis said.
"When it was recovered it had six live bullets in the internal magazine, as well as one spent bullet in the chamber," Davis said. "In order for this gun to be fired, it had to have one in the chamber, be off safety, and it actually had a release on the lever that had to be pulled up. It had to be lever activated that would cock the weapon."
Davis said Horn was negligent in saying he didn't know the weapon was loaded.
The state didn't dispute Horn's argument that he was posing for a picture.
"We have the pictures and we developed the pictures on the camera," Davis said.
Davis said the next to last picture caught by the camera was of Horn holding the weapon with his 12-year-old son.
Davis said Horn had been drinking, but wasn't intoxicated at the time of the shooting. She said he became intoxicated after the incident.
Post trial motions in the case are set for Aug. 17. Davis said Horn remains free on bond pending his sentencing on Sept. 7.

The perfect pair of jeans seems to be like gold dust – precious and near impossible to come across. Famously being the hardest fashion item to find in the right size, the right fit or even in the right place, denim sizes have baffled shoppers since their inception. But now many shoppers are struggling to find any items of clothing in their size, due to inconsistency in size measurements across different retailers and the phenomenon of 'vanity sizing' causing consumer confusion. According to a study conducted by SizeUK over three years, 60 per cent of women admit they are unsure of their dress size due to variations in retailer sizing. So in a country where high streets are homogeneous, dominated by the same fashion retailers, who can we rely on for the perfect fit?
Vanity sizing is a relatively new fashion scandal, which refers to the practice of assigning clothing sizes to garments bigger or smaller than norm for that size, making the wearer feel skinnier or fatter than they actually are. Although many consider it a myth, there's no doubt that inconsistency in clothing sizes can have a psychological effect and cause frustration.
Launching a 'name and shame' appeal on Twitter revealed a list of companies people felt were the worst for inconsistent sizing, in particular two major fashion retailers. "I love H&M but there's definitely inconsistency," said freelance journalist, blogger and Twitter user Lor_witters_on. "It drives me crazy, especially when buying things without trying them on only to find it doesn't fit."
Primark also received a slight bashing. "I can buy a shirt in one size and need a t-shirt in another in Primark," professed arts and crafts blogger and Tweeter c_brookes. "Their jeans are the same – one style in one size and another style in another."
The best way to confirm any variance was by visiting stores and going about testing sizes the old fashion way – with a tape measure. First up is H&M, a Swedish retail giant who made around £446 billion in the last quarter according to Business Week, and were heavily mentioned in the Twitter appeal. Their in-store sizing chart suggests a size 14 will fit someone with a 36.25 inch chest, but when measured, a new cat print tea dress measures 35 inches, coming up smaller than the suggested measurement. In contrast, a pair of their slim leg, regular waist jeans, listed as a 30 inch waist on the tag measure at 32 inches, coming up wider than expected.
However, H&M maintain their sizes are tried and tested worldwide. Chloe Bowers, press officer at H&M, said: "H&M uses the same body measurements and sizes for all its 38 markets and they are based on Swedish body measurement lists. We do not work with 'vanity sizing'. All departments within H&M work with the same body measurements and all garments are tried on mannequins or fitting models, so as a customer you should be able to buy the same size regardless of which department you are shopping within."
Despite saying their clothing sizes are standardised across all departments, Chloe added: "A garment can feel different in size depending on style and fit, for example our young department 'Divided' might work with a more close fit fabric than, for example, our ladies department."
H&M currently work with around 700 suppliers worldwide, who in turn use subcontractors, adding up to around 2,700 production units used in the manufacture of their clothes. With such a high number of links in the supply chain, inconsistency from supplier to supplier is showing through in their products. But they're not the only ones. Continue reading →

Whitecaps crush Dragons 11 to 3
Dayton, Ohio (WDTN) -
Jeff Holm drilled a two-run home run and added a three-run triple to lead the West Michigan Whitecaps to an 11-3 victory over the Dayton Dragons on Wednesday night. The two teams have split the first two games of the series with the rubber match set for Thursday at 7:00 p.m.
Holm, the 2011 Big Ten Player of the Year at Michigan State University, drove in five runs to lead a 12-hit West Michigan attack. His bases-clearing triple with two outs in the sixth inning broke open a 4-3 game.
West Michigan scored one run in the top of the first inning before the Dragons answered with two in the bottom of the inning to take the lead. Beau Amaral walked, stole a base, and eventually scored on Jesse Winker's RBI ground out to tie the game, and Seth Mejias-Brean drove in the tie-breaking run with a two-out single to right to make it 2-1. The Whitecaps regained the lead in the third on a two-run home run by Jeff Holm to make it 3-2.
Dayton tied the game in the fourth when Tanner Rahier was hit by a pitch, went to second on Robert Ramirez's single to right, advanced to third on Wagner Gomez's sacrifice, and scored on Zach Vincej's fielder's choice ground out to make it 3-3.
But West Michigan erupted for four runs in the sixth and four more in the seventh to take a commanding 11-3 lead. Holm's three-run triple keyed the sixth and Mario Martinez hit a long two-run home run in the seventh.
The Dragons finished with six hits. Ramirez and Mejias-Brean each had two. Jeff Gelalich stole two bases.
Dragons starting pitcher Ismael Guillon worked the first five innings, allowing five hits and three runs with five walks and five strikeouts. Joey Housey (0-1) suffered the loss in relief of Guillon. He pitched two innings and allowed seven hits and eight runs (seven earned) without a walk or a strikeout. Housey suffered from a couple of defensive miscues by the Dragons that prolonged innings. Wandy Peralta and Ben Klimesh each tossed a scoreless inning for Dayton. Both struck out three batters in their inning.

The Flash Point archery sight is a well constructed sight made from machined aluminum. The pin brightness adjusts photo-chromatically and uses a top mounted sky coil, dimming in bright
sun and increasing in low light conditions.
The sight adjustments are incremental and precise. This is a well made sight.

TenPoint WoodsMan Crossbow
I have had this crossbow for about 10 years now. It has a 165# draw weight, comes with a crank to cock it. Shoots a 22″ bolt with a 125Gr Wasp broadhead. It is a very durable crossbow and will withstand much abuse with no problem.

I have been happy with this bow case ever since I first bought it. It was fairly inexpensive at around $30 plus tax. It's thick and sturdy so I am not worried about it getting smashed.

CBS has released its 2013-14 primetime schedule, which includes five new comedies and three new dramas that feature stars including Robin Williams, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Will Arnett, Beau Bridges, Anna Faris, Allison Janey, Tony Shalhoub, Dylan McDermott, Toni Collette, Josh Holloway and Marg Helgenberger.
Details on the CBS 2013-14 schedule, provided by the network, are as follows:
For next fall, the network is increasing its comedy lineup with four new comedies, expanding its comedy block on Thursdays from 7-9 PM and creating an encore hour for comedy broadcasts on Saturdays.
The new comedies are THE CRAZY ONES, a single-camera comedy from executive producer David E. Kelley starring Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar; THE MILLERS, a multi-generational family comedy from executive producer Greg Garcia starring Will Arnett, Margo Martindale, Beau Bridges and JB Smoove; MOM, an edgy family comedy from executive producer Chuck Lorre starring Anna Faris and Allison Janney; and WE ARE MEN, an ensemble single-camera comedy starring Tony Shalhoub, Kal Penn, Chris Smith and Jerry O'Connell.
Two new dramas have been scheduled for Mondays at 9 PM. HOSTAGES, the serialized suspense thriller from executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer starring Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott, premieres in the fall, building to a season finale in January. Soon after, INTELLIGENCE, a high-octane action drama starring Josh Holloway, Marg Helgenberger and Meghan Ory, moves into the time period for the remainder of the season.
The freshman series will be joined by 20 returning shows including NCIS, the season's most watched show; THE BIG BANG THEORY, the season's #1 comedy in viewers and demos; 60 MINUTES, the season's #1 news magazine; and ELEMENTARY, the season's #1 new drama.
The other returning series include: HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, 2 BROKE GIRLS, NCIS: LOS ANGELES, PERSON OF INTEREST, SURVIVOR, CRIMINAL MINDS, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, TWO AND A HALF MEN, UNDERCOVER BOSS, HAWAII FIVE-0, BLUE BLOODS, 48 HOURS, THE AMAZING RACE, THE GOOD WIFE and THE MENTALIST.

The new 2013-2014 schedule is:
On Monday, the veteran comedy HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER begins its climatic final season at 7:00 PM, providing a strong lead-in for the new single-camera ensemble comedy WE ARE MEN at 7:30 PM. The top-rated comedy of the night, 2 BROKE GIRLS, is at 8:00 PM, seamlessly leading into the new Chuck Lorre comedy MOM at 8:30 PM.

The Comedies:
WE ARE MEN is a single-camera comedy about four single guys living in a short-term apartment complex who unexpectedly find camaraderie over their many missteps in love. Carter (Chris Smith), the youngest and most recent addition to the group, moved in after being ditched at the altar mid-ceremony, and is now eager to re-enter the dating scene and get on with his life with some guidance from his "band of brothers": Frank Russo (Golden Globe and multiple Emmy Award winner Tony Shalhoub), a successful middle-aged clothing manufacturer and four-time divorcée who still fancies himself a ladies man; Gil Bartis (Kal Penn), a small business owner who was caught having the world's worst affair; and Stuart Strickland (Jerry O'Connell), a speedo-wearing OB/GYN who's hiding his assets until his second divorce is settled. Jill (Rebecca Breeds) is Frank's charming and attractive daughter, who stands as the one positive remnant from his failed relationships. Armed with a hot tub, pool-side barbeque and plenty of questionable advice, these losers in the marriage department take Carter under their wing to impart their own brand of wisdom about the opposite sex. Emmy Award winner Rob Greenberg, Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum are executive producers for CBS Television Studios. Rob Greenberg directed the pilot.
MOM is a comedy from executive producer Chuck Lorre starring Anna Faris as a newly sober single mom raising two children in a world full of temptations and pitfalls, and multiple Emmy Award winner Allison Janney as her critical, estranged mother. Christy (Faris) is a waitress at a posh Napa Valley establishment who is four months clean and doing her best to be a good mom and overcome a history of questionable choices. Her sobriety is tested when Bonnie (Janney), her recovering alcoholic mom, reappears chock-full of passive-aggressive insights into Christy's many mistakes. Bonnie joins Christy's already complicated circle of relationships: her handsome, married boss – and lover – Gabriel (Nate Corddry); the restaurant's hot-tempered chef, Rudy (French Stewart); her pretty, 16-going-on-25-year-old daughter, Violet (Sadie Calvano); her sweet but overly honest son, Roscoe (Blake Garrett Rosenthal); her irresponsible ex-husband and Roscoe's father, Baxter (Matt Jones); and Violet's clueless boyfriend, Luke (Spencer Daniels). Christy tries to remain positive as she pursues her new path in life, but she faces an uphill battle, surrounded by a dubious support system – and a copious amount of dysfunction. Chuck Lorre and Eddie Gorodetsky ("Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory") are executive producers for Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Pamela Fryman directed the pilot. Gemma Baker co-wrote the pilot with Lorre and Gorodetsky.
THE MILLERS stars Will Arnett as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local roving news reporter looking forward to living the singles' life until his parents' marital problems unexpectedly derail his plans. After Nathan finally breaks the news of his divorce to his parents, Carol (Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale) and Tom (Emmy Award winner Beau Bridges), his father is inspired to follow suit and stuns the family when he leaves his wife of 43 years. Already in shock, Jack is even more aghast when his meddlesome mom decides to move in with him. Meanwhile, his absent-minded dad imposes upon Nathan's sister, Debbie, her husband Adam and their daughter Mykayla (Eve Moon). Nathan's best friend and news cameraman, Ray (JB Smoove), was excited to be Nathan's wingman in the dating scene, but Carol manages to even cramp his style. Now, as Nathan and his sister settle in with their truly impossible parents, they both wonder just how long the aggravating adjustment period is going to last. Greg Garcia ("Raising Hope" and "My Name is Earl") is the executive producer of THE MILLERS for CBS Television Studios. Emmy Award winner James Burrows directed the pilot.
Academy Award winner Robin Williams returns to series television in THE CRAZY ONES, a single-camera workplace comedy about a larger-than-life advertising genius whose unorthodox methods and unpredictable behavior would get him fired… if he weren't the boss. Simon Roberts (Williams) is the head of a powerful agency, with the biggest clients and brands in the world, but even more important to him is that his daughter Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is by his side. As his partner, Sydney is Simon's exact opposite – focused, organized and eager to make a name for herself, but also too busy parenting her father, which she'd resent if he wasn't so brilliant at what he does. Joining them in the firm are the dashing and talented Zach (James Wolk); art director Andrew (Hamish Linklater), who's as hard-working as he is neurotic; and the beautiful and deceptively smart assistant Lauren (Amanda Setton). With his team and his daughter behind him, Simon continues to set the advertising world on fire, and it looks like they are definitely buying what these crazy ones are selling. Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner David E. Kelley ("Ally McBeal" and "The Practice"), Bill D'Elia, Emmy Award winner Jason Winer ("Modern Family"), Dean Lorey, John Montgomery and Mark Teitelbaum are executive producers for Twentieth Century Fox Television. Jason Winer directed the pilot.

Makers of Contemporary Islam
John L. Esposito and John Voll
In this timely and important work, John Esposito and John Voll explore the development of contemporary Islamic movements and thought through the biographies of nine major activist intellectuals who represent a wide range of Muslim societies. Many Muslims have combined revivalist activism with intellectual efforts, but only a few have achieved significant international visibility and influence. By examining the lives and work of nine such internationally recognized figures, Esposito and Voll provide a new understanding of the intellectual foundations of contemporary Islamic awareness and politics. Included are profiles of: Ismail Ragi al-Faruqi (U.S./Palestine), Khurshid Ahmad (India/Pakistan), Maryam Jameelah (U.S./Pakistan), Hasan Hanafi (Sudan), Rashid Ghannoushi
(Tunisia), Hasan al-Turabi (Sudan), Abdolkarim Soroush (Iran), Anwar Ibrahim (Malaysia), and Abdurrahman Wahid (Indonesia).
These thinkers contributed to some of the most significant intellectual and activist developments in the Muslim world during the 1980s and 1990s--the period during which Islamic movements became a major force in Muslim societies and international affairs. They helped to organize and lead the movements of Islamic renewal and provided the conceptual foundations for the programs those movements advocate. Together, they represent a distinctive phase in the evolution of Islamic thinking: the ongoing effort to create an effective synthesis of modernity and Islamic tradition. Their work supplies the core of the Islamic resurgence of the1990s and the foundation
for what it can become in the twenty-first century.

I would like to share with you my favourite chess puzzle. It is black to move and mate in a few moves (the number of moves depends on how white would reply). Anyway there is no chance for white in this position. When I first faced this puzzle I couldn't solve it without a hint. Perhaps you'll manage to do so. I hope you see that it is only white queen who protects against mate.
There's a nice logic to the idea, but it isn't a forced mate. White doesn't have to acquiesce in Black's plan. He doesn't have to take the Knight or even the Bishop, so although Black is winning there isn't an immediate mate.

Mayo Clinic researchers are reporting that persons who undergo bariatric surgery may have a greater chance of experiencing broken bones, especially in their hands and feet. The study is based on a review of nearly 100 surgical cases at Mayo spanning 21 years and is being presented today at the Endocrinology Society Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
The research team worked with Rochester Epidemiology Project records to develop the chart review of 97 of the 292 patients who underwent the bariatric procedure between 1984 and 2004. The findings, adjusted for age and gender factors, showed 21 individuals experienced 31 fractures within an average of seven years after surgery. Fractures were reported in the hip, spine and humerus (upper arm bone), with the majority of fractures in the hands and feet.
"We've shown that risk of fractures after this type of weight loss surgery is clinically significant," says Elizabeth Haglind, M.D., Mayo endocrinologist and lead author, who is presenting today. "More research is needed to confirm our findings and understand the specific risk factors and mechanisms involved."
Below is a link to an edited youtube video with Dr. Haglind.

Bafta win for Colin Firth's gay professor
Post your comment
Reader comments
Nice photo. Gorgeous looking man. A classical face. Look forward to seeing the film. As hopefully will his legions of female followers!
I saw this film just two days ago and thought it was excellent. It was very sensitive and Colin's performance was nuanced and strong.
have heard Ford over and over again call this character bi, not gay. I think it should be pointed out that Isherwood's characters and stories were 'straightened" by his publishers insistence throughout most of his life. A Single Man was a real breakthrough for Isherwood in that it had an out, unapologetic gay protagonist. Having a bi man now co-opt this story and de-gay it and getting all excited about another straight actor getting an award for pink-facing it, is just more of the same. When a gay actor gets a Bafta playing a gay role that will be something to cheer.
Great news, both about Colin Firth and Christopher Isherwood's work.
Congratulations, Mr Firth.
I really want to watch this film. Unfortunately, it is only showing in a few cinemas in London, so it is going to be a bit of a journey – but I don't care lol.
Interestig blog from the Guardian on whether or not ASM is a 'gay' film.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2010/feb/15/a-single-man-sexual-preferenceMy verification words today are 'convict' 'tarts'. Bit harsh, isn't it?
Thanks, Chameleon, for that excellent link! Very interesting article and comments there. People may find the following Comment by one "deepbluepete" amusing!
"A Single Man is a film about a gay man not a gay film. It starts in tragedy and ends in death. Inbetween there are interactions with a drunken messed up fag-hag and two attractive but deeply unsuitable pretty young men. Apart from that poor Colin is lonely and, we are too assume, constipated. This is very much conforming to the view that most straight people have of gay men and adheres to the very familiar narrative structure of Brokeback Mountain, in that the lead ends up isolated and alone and then, oops, dead! If you're going back to the aesthetics of camp as defined by Susan Sontag then, yes, it's a bit gay. But, and this is my point, to be really gay there would be a lot more fisting!"
Mm the fridge man eh? Was he goodlooking(!) Come to fix your appliance Mr D'Arcy(!):-) well done Colin.

One of the fondest memories I have as a very young child is hugging and brushing a pony that our neighbors had, and I had always wanted to have one of my own. Our daughter is 3 1/2 years old and we are expecting our second child, a boy, in February. I would really like to get a pony as a family Christmas present.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The Portland Fire Department is investigating a fire at an apartment building early this morning.
They were called to Cumberland Park Place on Cumberland Avenue just after 3:30 this morning for an alarm sounding. That building houses elderly and disabled residents.
When firefighters entered the building they found smoke and fire in a second floor apartment.
Everyone inside the building was evacuated and the tenant of the apartment, who is on oxygen, was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
Firefighters believe the apartment where the fire started may be inhabitable, because of water damage.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The news here, amid hyperpartisanship and gridlock, is that there's a deal at all.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., have managed a bipartisan compromise to avoid another government shutdown and fund federal programs for the next two years.
The $85 billion deal would cancel half of the sharp spending cuts known as the sequester for the current fiscal year.
Revenue raisers to offset the spending increases include higher security fees for airline passengers, higher premiums for federal insurance for private pensions, reduced payments to student-loan debt collectors and not completely refilling the country's strategic petroleum reserve.
While the agreement has the support of senior House Republicans, Heritage Action, the political arm of the Heritage Foundation, and Americans for Prosperity, the advocacy group backed by the conservative Koch brothers, came out against the deal even before it was announced, media report.

"This is a fun book! With all the 'compost' in the diet book industry, the compost the Dynamic Gardening Way recommends is finally something you can really benefit from."
-- C. Wayne Callaway, M.D. , Clinical associate professor of medicine, George Washington University (1992)
"Too often, we are caught up in the fads and quick-fix road to wellness. Jeff Restuccio has formulated a fascinating and sound program to achieve true fitness of body, mind and environment...Anyone embracing this vision and following this well-conceived program will lead a wholesome, vigorous and rewarding lifestyle."
-- Charles C. Norelli, M.D. , Good Shepherd Hospital (1992)
"Fitness the Dynamic Gardening Way is not just another book about gardening or fitness techniques. Instead, it offers a broad perspective that serves to remind us that growing food, physical exercise and care of the planet are, in actuality, one interconnected, human activity."
-- Saki Santorelli, M.A., Assoc. Dir., Stress Reduction Clinic, Univ. of Massachusetts Medical Center (1992)
"Jeff has come up with a plan which combines gardening techniques that get you fit, and the fitness techniques that produce the kind of high-quality, nutritious foods that will keep you fit. Now, that's really cross-training."
-- Mike McGrath, (former) Editor-in-Chief, Organic Gardening Magazine (1992)

PART ONE: CURRENT DIET AND EXERCISE PROGRAMS Chapters 2 and 3 address why existing diet and exercise programs have not been successful in maintaining long-term weight loss. If you've tried any of these diet or exercise programs or are considering using one, please read these chapters first. If you're already familiar with current diet and exercise programs and want to get straight to the benefits of Dynamic Gardening, skip to Part 2.
PART TWO: LIFESTYLE Chapter 4, discusses how traditional exercise programs may advise you to change your lifestyle, but rarely do they present a health and wellness lifestyle. Chapter 5, contrasts the Dynamic Gardening lifestyle to the traditional diet and exercise programs described in Part One.
PART THREE: EXERCISE Part three incorporates concepts, techniques and stance from aerobics, weight training and the martial arts. Gardening will be used as a tool to increase endurance, flexibility and strength. Chapter 6, examines gardening movements in detail and presents a systematic, disciplined approach to gardening to yield maximum aerobic and muscle toning benefits. Chapter 7, is the Dynamic Gardening Way alternative to working out with weights to build strength and muscle mass: build exercise structures into the landscape of your backyard garden, among the daylilies, daisies and grape vines. Chapter 8, presents charts showing the muscle groups used during gardening and Circuit Training exercises. Use this information to design your own gardening exercise program. Chapter 9, illustrates the long-term nature of gardening. Other weight-loss programs advertise how quickly you will lose weight. I take the opposite approach. The longer it takes, the better. That's what defines a lifelong health and fitness program.
PART FOUR: DYNAMIC GARDENING Part four presents the concepts, techniques and vocabulary of Dynamic Gardening. This part is for anyone not familiar with gardening and the latest soil-enhancement and space- utilization techniques. Chapter 10, introduces sustainable and intensive gardening techniques. Chapter 11, explains the two most important Dynamic Gardening techniques: how to make compost and prepare intensive, deep-dug, raised garden beds. Chapter 12, describes in more detail the gardening approach of this book known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Chemical and natural fertilizers and pesticides are compared and contrasted. Chapter 13, presents various ways to start and obtain plants. A virtually fool-proof method of starting plants from seed is introduced. Chapter 14, presents exercises and gardening activities for each season.
PART FIVE: SOUND NUTRITION Chapter 15, explains why growing your own fresh fruits and vegetables is the best diet alternative to pills, powders and prepackaged meals. Chapter 16, emphasizes that eating fruits and vegetables is not enough. They must be nutritiously prepared.
PART SIX: THE ROLE OF THE MIND Chapter 17, examines the psychological components of health and fitness and current theories on eating disorders and weight-loss. Chapter 18, presents solutions to the many obstacles facing potential gardeners. Whether your concern is frequent travel, poor climate, or simply not enough time, offer suggestions on how to overcome obstacles and integrate gardening into your fitness lifestyle. Chapter 19, explains how careful attention to gardening may provide more stress-relief than trying to relax. Chapter 20, presents an overview of successful horticultural therapy programs for individuals with developmental, emotional or physical handicaps, and suggestions on how these techniques can be modified to the general population. Chapter 21, introduces the psychological technique of visualization, used frequently in professional sports, to help you maintain enthusiasm and achieve your health, physique and gardening goals. Visualization techniques help change your mental image of yourself by replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations. Chapter 22, introduces business-management techniques to organize your gardening and fitness goals, objectives, strategies, plans and activities.
PART SEVEN: CHILDREN Chapter 23, presents games and activities to help teach your children and grandchildren how to play and exercise in the garden while growing fresh fruits and vegetables. Involving the entire family is important to the success of the Dynamic Gardening Way fitness program.
PART EIGHT: SUMMARY Chapter 24, summarizes Fitness the Dynamic Gardening Way with a day in the garden with my family. Chapter 25, ties all the chapters together into a comprehensive fitness lifestyle.
PART NINE: APPENDIX The Appendix includes Sources for supplies, a selected Bibliography, and an Index.

uesday Nov. 6 is election day, and for millions of Americans that means braving lines at a local polling place to help decide who will be the next commander in chief. But what happens when you're stuck in space hundreds of miles above Earth? Do astronauts floating around in zero-gravity still get a say in the country's future? It turns out they do. For several years now, adventurers aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have been able to cast their votes via encrypted email. Here's how it works:
How do astronauts vote?
Thanks to a 1997 bill passed in the state of Texas, where nearly all NASA astronauts live, registered voters can digitally beam their ballots back down to Houston. After filling out the form, "they send it back to Mission Control," says NASA spokesman Jay Bolden. "It's a secure ballot that is then sent directly to the voting authorities." Come to think of it, says Mike Wall at Space.com, it's kind of the "ultimate absentee ballot."
Are any Americans currently in space?
Yes, two Americans are among the six-person crew on the ISS. They won't, however, be sending in their votes tomorrow. Commander Sunita Williams — whom you may remember as the woman who completed a triathlon in space — and flight engineer Kevin Ford already fulfilled their duties as U.S. citizens, casting their votes while stationed in Russia before launch. (No word on how they voted.)
But astronauts have cast their ballots from orbit before?
When the 1997 Texas bill was passed, David Wolf, then aboard Russia's Mir space station, became the first astronaut to file his vote from space via encrypted email. Wolf, however, was voting in a local election. It wasn't until October 2004 that Leroy Chiao, then stuck aboard the ISS, became the first far-flung astronaut to vote for a president. And if an astronaut can do it, says Jennifer Lawinski at The Stir, "there's no good reason the rest of us can't find a way to make it to the polls."

Ice stalagmite. My furnace drowned during the recent floods in Boulder, and I replaced it with a high-efficiency furnace. The furnace discharges into a plastic pipe, which the technicians ran up the old flue. We are nearing the end of the first cold snap of the year, with nighttime temperatures running below 0 °F, and the condensation from the pipe evidently caused the ice stalagmite on the roof.
Gwen Pearson, an entomologist formerly known as Bug Girl, has performed sort of a retrospective analysis of the Ark Park's facilities for caring for its animals. You might have thought that the Ham-merheaded proprietors of the Ark Park would have performed a prospective analysis but evidently you would have been mistaken. Cheer up! Here is Dr. Pearson's advice to the Ham-itic designers:
]]>[Providing captive animals with the wherewithal to stay healthy] takes specialized knowledge. If you have raptors or game birds, they can get bumblefoot just from the wrong kind of perches. Feeding an imbalanced diet, or just not noticing a raptor is off its food, can tip a bird into a metabolic crash. Ducks can get a fatal type of herpes that spreads rapidly, despite our best efforts.
Since the junk bond issue brought the Ark Encounter back into the news again, I thought it might be interesting to call the Ark folks up and ask some questions about their animal care. Mr. [Mike] Zovath [Senior Vice President of Answers in Genesis, the entity that has the illusion that it is building an Ark] was kind enough to chat with me on the phone this week.
I asked Mr. Zovath about the diagrams currently on the Ark Encounter website which show plans for bears, sloths, koalas, deer, monkeys, bats, owls, and "possom" [sic], among other animals. His response was that the diagrams were from the initial conception of the park in 2010, and that they are marked as "layout subject to change."
Just for the record, Ark Encounter, not Dr. Pearson, misspelled "opossum." Dr. Pearson continues,
Very specific, science-based guidelines on how to house captive animals exist. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), an international body of scientists and experts in animal care, has published their AZA Accreditation standards for 2014 (92 page PDF). AZA Accreditation is the gold standard for zoos; it's not something all zoos can achieve. However, most reputable zoos do try to incorporate AZA Standards where and when they can. For many captive animal species there are very clear exhibit design guidelines about shelter, water, space, and behavioral enrichment.
As an example, let's look at a skunk or a weasel, a likely small mammal candidate species for the Ark. [No Ham-sters?] The AZA Mustelid Handbook suggests 29 square meters (34.7 square yards) as a minimum exhibit size. Go back and look at that diagram above, or one of the ark schematics I've linked to. Nope.
Oh, well. Back to the drawing board!

]]>NCSE has just announced the second webinar in its ongoing series, to be held on December 18, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. PST. The webinar will focus on "[s]topping bad legislation and encouraging policymakers to support strong science education…," according to NCSE.
The webinar will be led by Josh Rosenau, Programs and Policy Director for NCSE; Vic Hutchison, professor emeritus at the University of Oklahoma, and founder and past president of Oklahomans for Excellence in Science Education; and Dena Sher, legislative counsel at the ACLU's national office. You may register for the webinar here.
We reported on NCSE's earlier webinar here.
]]>The Mt. Vernon Board of Education's attorneys have filed a memo in opposition to John Freshwater's motion to the Ohio Supreme Court to reconsider his case. The memo essentially argues that Freshwater has nothing new in his motion for reconsideration, no new evidence or arguments, but is merely a rehash of his previous claims, and therefore it should be denied. It argues on the same grounds on which the Court made its decision, that the case for Freshwater's insubordination is sufficient by itself to uphold Freshwater's termination.
]]>A couple months ago, Richard Hoppe and I blogged about the lawsuit brought by a creationist group against the state of Kansas, alleging that teaching real science to students violates the First Amendment by "indoctrinating" them with ideas that might make them question their religious training. State officials today filed a motion to dismiss that lawsuit, which you can read here. It's a very strong motion–the most important parts are pages 28-43–so I don't have much to add. Kansas is clearly in the right and deserves easily to win this motion. More at the NCSE's site.
]]>Here's some reading material for you: A new article by Chris Mooney, posted at Mother Jones, argues that we have certain psychological dispositions that make it easier for us to accept religion than evolution. Larry Moran was not impressed with the article. Neither was Jerry Coyne. But I think the article was a bit better than they suggest, and I make my case in this post over at EvolutionBlog. Comments may be left there. Enjoy!
]]>The Honors program at the University of Central Florida has a documentary film class whose previous projects have been well-received. Now, they are crowdsourcing funding for their latest project, "Filthy Dreamers". This one is about antievolution efforts in Florida following the 1925 Scopes trial.
In the late 1920's a controversy sparked about the teaching of evolution to women students at Florida State Women's College. Nearly 100 years later, public figures and activists are still trying to control curriculum in public schools, colleges and universities. The students enrolled in this Honors class through the University of Central Florida aim to educate and inform our viewers about the long history of censorship in the classrooms, the libraries and around the campus.

I was excited to learn today that there is genome sequence for the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus)!! A friend wondered why I was so excited, asking, "Is it evolutionarily interesting?"
Well, first off, I've always been fascinated with manatees: they are so defenseless, and yet grow so large that they are rarely predated on. They are, however, especially susceptible to human-made water vessels. I am excited for their genome because I've always loved them. But, they are also pretty evolutionarily awesome.
1. Manatees are more closely related to elephants than they are to dolphins or whales.
The manatee and the bottlenosed dolphin are approximately 100 million years diverged from each other. The manatee is classified under the Afrotheria, which also includes elephants, hyraxes, and aardvarks, while the dolphin is classified as Laurasiatheria, which also includes the red panda, hippos, horses, rhinoceros, and bears. You can click on the links above for more detailed lists of the species included in each group.
Although about 100 million years separate manatees from dolphins, the manatee and elephant are only separated by about 61 million years. Unlike dolphins, but like elephants, manatees have toenails:
By Fritz Geller-Grimm, via Wikimedia Commons |
2. Manatees convergently (independently) evolved the ability to live under water
Unlike other mammals that live primarily in the water (whales and dolphins), the manatee (and dugong) does not breath air through a blowhole on top of its head. Instead, manatees breath through their nostrils. How cool is that?
By Rusty Clark from Merrit Island FL via Wikimedia Commons |
Additionally, manatees independently evolved flippers and wide tails.
Manatees also convergently lost most of their hair (although this isn't unique to water-dwelling mammals as many terrestrial mammals lost most of their hair too, including pigs, naked mole rats, and humans). I wonder whether similar genes are involved (disrupted?) to result in the loss of hair across these mammals?
3. Manatees have a much lower metabolic rate than expected for their body mass.
Manatees are fairly sedentary, and have a low metabolic rate (0.36 times the predicted rate for placental mammals). Dolphins have a much higher metabolic rate, but a similar expected lifespan as manatees (approximately 50-60 years, to my understanding). So, it will be fascinating to investigate how genomes differ between fspecies with similar generation times, but very different metabolic rates.
I am a little bit late reporting this, but Josh Rosenau reported on November 26,
]]>It's a joy to be able to report on a sweeping victory for science education in Texas, and to be able to give an eyewitness report of the fight over the textbooks that will be used in that massive textbook market for years to come. The 2009 battle over Texas science standards made it quite possible that the textbooks adopted last week would be riddled with creationist claims, or would give creationist board members a toehold to demand that publishers rewrite their books or be left off of the state's approved list. In the end, the books available to students will be solid, accurate, and honest about evolution and climate change.
Rosenau's article was something of a travelog, but he finally gets to the point: The publisher of the well known textbook by Miller and Levine has denied that there are factual errors in the book, and the school board voted to approve the book contingently, pending the outcome of an investigation by three competent Texas scientists, rather than by nonscientists:
The board also refined the review process for Miller and Levine's textbook, clarifying that the reviewers must all have PhDs in a relevant field, that the review committee's decision can be reached by simple majority vote, rather than by consensus, and that each of the three board members would nominate one expert (not that they'd have to agree on a group of three). Each of those moves makes the process more rigorous and thus more likely to dismiss the creationist complaints.
Rosenau concludes,
]]>In short, this was a victory, and an unqualified victory. While I might have preferred to have an outright rejection of the bogus complaints against Miller and Levine's book, the board set an important precedent by creating this review process. Before this change, any appeal by publishers was resolved either by the Texas Education Agency's legal team, or by a vote of the board. Now they've established a system for a second round of expert review when the first review generates dispute.

Nice video here, along with a sky map telling you where to look in the early morning. Instructions for viewing it in daylight here – wear sunglasses and take their advice to use a stationary object, not your thumb, to block the sun. And latest images here. I am going out now with my trusty camera and looking for a lamp post, but it may be too close to the sun already.
Update: Here is a remarkable picture from the Nasa site above, taken on November 25.
The Rutherford Institute, acting on behalf of John Freshwater, has filed a motion for reconsideration with the Ohio Supreme Court. On a first fast scan, the main argument seems to be that the Court erred in giving weight to Freshwater's insubordination as opposed to the constitutional issues alleged in his appeal, and that in doing so, the Court somehow made it easier to fire teachers in general. The motion even quotes a comment on my previous post, though with a bad link.
I may have more to say about the motion later.

Corvus corax - common raven.
25 years ago, according to a recent article in Science magazine, Richard Lenski put samples of E. coli bacteria into a dozen flasks filled with a solution of glucose and other nutrients, incubated them, stirred them, and every day removed 1 % and repeated the process, day after day, for 25 years (except for a brief interruption when he moved from one university to another). The author of the article, Elizabeth Pennisi, notes that Lenski's bacteria
]]>are proving as critical to understanding the workings of evolution as classic paleontology studies such as Stephen Jay Gould's research on the pace of change in mollusks. Lenski's humble E. coli have shown, among other things, how multiple small mutations can prepare the ground for a major change; how new species can arise and diverge; and that Gould was mistaken when he claimed that, given a second chance, evolution would likely take a completely different course. Most recently, the colonies have demonstrated that, contrary to what many biologists thought, evolution never comes to a stop, even in an unchanging environment.
You may read Pennisi's article for yourself, but what I (a nonbiologist) found most interesting was that evolution keeps going, even in a stable environment; there are no fitness peaks (at least among E. coli in bottles). Equally, the fact that several different lines learned to metabolize citrate by means of different series of mutations suggests (as in the Pennisi quotation above) that the course of evolution might be more predictable than we had thought. Finally, the photograph of the graduate student sitting in front of a pyramid of Petri dishes convinces me that physics is better.
