Kitabkhana is a literary blog site which, while it has a fairly strong South Asian focus, also looks at publishing in English generally. The site is quite idiosyncratic - it is light hearted and humourous, but nonetheless gives an interesting critique of many modern works of fiction and on bodies of work. The South Asian bias of the site can be seen in the number of Indian authors that feature on it, as well as in the references to South Asian phenomena and trends in the reviews of other works.

The Mage Emerson was in the Tower casting a great spell. "Come to our aid great Magnus. . . Cometh to our aid, we conjur you, we beseech thee for aid! Your hallowed time of condescension is now!" Emerson's apprentice and other students continued to chant. "We summon Magnus. . . We summon Magnus." A drop of sweat fell from Magnus'es face. . . this had better work. The instructions in the most ancient of magical tomes, written by Magnus himself described the way to save the world from Alduin if he came to devour the souls of the living and the dead. "El Nidrzzbar elneth dramakis drokalamar zonrack!" The tower shook somewhat violently but then safely stopped. Suddenly a roaring in the sky was heard, and a strange blue object began to materialize in the Summoning Chamber.
What would come fort from the Summoning chamber with the other wizards? Could it be Magnus, who left the world so long ago and sought the defeat of the great Dovahkiin?

Porsche Releases New Flagship 911 GT2 RS
Looking for the new top-of-the-line from Stuttgart? Look no further, because this is it. The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS, leaked just days ago from its dealer preview, has now been officially released.
Stripped down to 3,020 pounds and boosted to 620 horsepower, the GT2 RS is a veritable rocket sled. Its 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat six has been boosted by 90 horses, encumbered by 154 fewer pounds than the GT2 on which it is based. Unlike the 911 Turbo S – Porsche's other top-of-the-line supercar – the GT2 RS drives all that power through the rear wheels exclusively. The result, if you've got the driving talent, is a 0-60 spring in 3.4 seconds, a 205 mph top speed and a devastating Nurburgring lap time of 7:18. Carbon fiber aero bits and an Alcantara micro-suede interior round out the package. Only 500 examples will be made, however, selling for $245,000 apiece.

This week you guys also had the pleasure of meeting the adorable new castmate, Porsha Williams Stewart. She's a doll, right? I have to make sure that I cosign the fact that Porsha's family legacy is a BIG DEAL in the South. Hosea Williams was a pioneer in the civil rights movement and her family does A LOT for the less fortunate, year round. Kudos to the Williams family. Now, back to the program already in progress. From the moment Kenya and Porsha sat down to lunch, I knew "shade" was on the menu.
Here's the short version. Porsha's married and loving. She wants to know why Kenya isn't. Kenya's new to the city, so she agrees to support a good cause, but gets to the event and only "five" people were there and she was cold, so she said she was going to the car. "Going to the car" turned into Kenya standing in a "manure" scented driveway as she waited for Miss Lawrence to arrive. But of course, she couldn't escape that easily. Porsha came out to inform her that her food was getting cold and that she was disrespectful, simultaneously. A few eye rolls, low blows, and ego shots later, the ladies parted ways and the tone was set for the newest "Battle of the Beauties!"
Y must there be a competition.....you both are beautiful. But Kenya do something right, be a lady and bow out, or grow old gracefully. She's younger yes, but she's beautiful because she doesn't behave like you do. Stop being a hater, give the girl her props.
Derek J I really enjoyed the show that you and Mrs. Lawrence did. I hope to see many more of them. Good Luck!!!
The Miss America pageant is the pageant that Vanessa Williams won way back in 1984. Women from all fifty states compete. It is very traditional and the women can win the title, become a spokes person and receive additional college money. In recent years the pageant has become a little more "relaxed" and the ladies are wearing two piece swimsuits and they appear a little bit more "provocative" The Miss USA pageant is for women from all fifty states also, but the winner can go on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant, which I believe is run by Donald Trump. This pageant does not appear to be as "stuffy" as the Miss America pagent. In the pass,both pageants got big ratings, but since cable networks have been leading in ratings. They do not do as well. So Miss America and Miss USA are not house hold names anymore. Kenya should count her blessings that she won when she did and move on.
I'm unsure of the point of this blog. You basically just explained the episode. News flash, we watched !! We wanted your thoughts not a run down on what we saw already!! Ha, no shade. Look forward to your next !
DereK J. thanks for blogging... I just loved your hour show going over the past four seasons...
You are a class act, and keep it real when shade is applied... I wish you could have also been there with NeNe and Cynthia, but maybe that's something you and NeNe can do with just the two of you so you can show here NY your way...
Continue to "DISH" us the Tee weekly!!!
I love NeNe, that outfit @ her function was the bomb, they all looked good. Kenya seems crazy azz ever. Ok now her title is "Miss USA" = Miss United States of "AMERICA" so why the heck she has a problem with peoples saying Miss America. Is there really any difference and further more who cares. Kandi and her new mate seem and look great together. Kim is showing her true colors; comments on Kandi's home and the area and that "Sweetie" OMG.
And now for the ELEPHANT in the room: Where the heck is Ms. Sheree? And that dang house of hers? And Marlo?
Would someone PLEASE tell me how Ms. Lawrence's face and head got injured. That bag was fierce, but not distracting enough that I didn't notice his face and head were cut!
Kenya is jealous of Porsha. That's why she had a hissie fit and left no attention and jealous that Porsha has a wonderful husband that treats her like she deserves and Kenya doesn't have that she wants it but good luck she's crazy.
All I want to know is...what was up with Kenya feet in this shoes. O.M.G. #Terrible
look forward to your perspective, I hope you don't mince words and get to the point. particularly when it comes to keeping it real about Kim
There's no battle of beauties here... Kenya's definitely high on something or sick... why she gonna be the shady one on this show. i bet that during the reunion or finale...she gonna cry and say no one understands her. AND PLEASE can someone please tell me the difference between America and USA...
This season seems to have a lot of shades and T's.. i look forward to each and every episode..
NiaBabe The Miss USA pageant was conceived in 1950 when Yolande Betbeze, winner of the rival Miss America pageant, refused to pose for publicity pictures while wearing a swimsuit. Pageant sponsor Catalina decided to pull their sponsorship off the pageant, and create their own competition.[2] Other owners have included a subsidiary of Gulf+Western Industries, ITT Corporation, and billionaire Donald Trump, the current owner who bought the pageant in 1996
Historically, the winner of the Miss USA title represented the U.S. in its sister pageant Miss Universe. Since its inception, seven Miss USA titleholders have gone on to win Miss Universe. In the mid-1960s, the organization established a rule that when a Miss USA wins the Miss Universe title, the first runner-up assumes the Miss USA title for the remainder of the year.
Sorry, but you asked :)
Women like Kenya are embarrassing to watch! Learn some manners for heaven's sake! I don't believe I have ever seen a bigger ego on an undeserving individual. Sad.
ALL of this is some crazy mess! Not all of it makes for good tv... Kenya should be on medication. If she is, she's not taking them! She wanted the charity event to be about her! Who cares how many people were there as long as money was raised for the foundation!!! Kenya was mad taht those "5 people" didn't rush her for an autograph! She and Jackie Christy from Basketball Wives, LA will be great friends! They are both touched!!!
I did see previews of all the women and their men will take a trip or a day outing together. I do have hope that we will see some unity with the women.
Please be sure to give us the "tea" after the episode where Apollo and Kenya flirt and play in the pool! LOL.. Pheadra has been keeping it classy but I KNOW she went HAM on them.. well at least one of them... if not, she needs her "sista" card revoked!
I love Derek J style!!
Derek J you are so classy !! I really like Nene but being from ATL where all the rumors are circulating about Nene catching Greg getting it on with another woman right under Nene's nose this past summer. I must admit it's hard for me to watch Greg begging her back. You can even see how Nene is rolling her eyes at him as if she ain't buying it either. In episode 2 Nene mentioned how Greg should have been nice to her months ago. Is this or was she referring to this past summer when Greg got caught in be bathroom with another woman at Nene's charity event? How disrespectful I can't do it. Let him go Nene please!
oh and I think NeNe appeared quite gracious on her ride on the subway. I give her props for that!
I'm an urban white woman, not at all from the South, but Porsha is gonna make me watch this show! She's the real deal! Kenya seems to be having some kind of mental breakdown and looked TERRIBLE at that event--her hair, her makeup, her clothes, her friend--ugh! Porsha did the right thing and was the epitome of class...she is going to make me watch that show.
1993 was like almost 20 yrs ago... Please GET OVER IT!! and thank Bravo for giving you an opportunity to be known nowadays because FYI... Ms. USA is just a "beauty pageant" not a scientific discovery that could be found in HISTORY
Just love you Derek J. and Ms. Lawrence! You guys need your own recap show on the RHOA!! Love, Love Love
Derek-- someone needs to put Kenya in her place, and you're the perfect person to do it.
I'm surprised Lawrence hasn't said something to her... I suppose being friends with crazy warrants him keeping his thoughts to himself.
Derek J...I LOVE YOU!! I can't speak for everyone else, but I've certainly been wondering where your blogs were! You alays call it like it is and don't try to sugarcoat anything (which is why I'm always excited to read what you have to say). I'll be waiting to see what you have to say after next week's episode...God bless!!
luv me some Derek!!! I am come to ATL so u can pimp my weave!lol peace and keep them women in check!

Histoplasmosis is an infection caused by a fungus called Histoplasma capsulatum. The fungus usually enters the body by being breathed into the lungs. This fungus can be found in soil in certain parts of the country. People with lung problems or weak immune systems are most at risk for this infection. Read on to learn more about the condition and how it is treated.
Many people with this lung infection have no symptoms. Often, the diagnosis is first suggested by a chest X-ray done for another purpose. If symptoms do occur, they may include fever, chills, dry coughing, chest pain, joint pain, and other flu-like symptoms.
You may have one or more of the following tests:
Blood and urine tests may help diagnose the problem.
Sputum culture takes fluid from the lungs and tests it for fungus.
Imaging tests, such as chest X-ray, CT scan, or MRI scan, take detailed pictures of the lungs.
Biopsy takes a sample of lung tissue to test for fungus.
Many people require no treatment. Treatment may be required if the infection is considered active or involves other parts of the body. Antifungal medications can often kill the fungus and treat the infection. You may need to take the medications for months. If the infection isn't treated, scar tissue can form in the lungs. The infection can also spread to the rest of the body. Your health care provider can tell you more about your condition, treatment options, and prognosis.
You can reduce your risk of exposure to this infection. Avoid places with large amounts of bird or bat droppings. This includes caves, coops, and nesting areas. If you need to work in these areas, wear a protective breathing mask. This can help filter out dust that contains the fungus.
Call your health care provider right away if you have any of the following:
Fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher
Chest pain
Coughing up blood
Shortness of breath
Extreme tiredness
Loss of appetite and weight loss
Symptoms that don't get better with treatment

Free-agent outside linebacker Bryan Thomas was the longest-tenured New York Jets player last season, having appeared in 157 games over 11 seasons. Thomas, 33, is now contemplating retirement after doctors found a torn tendon in his shoulder when he went under the knife to repair a torn pectoral muscle six weeks ago. A part-time player in 2012, Thomas will have trouble drawing interest from teams on a one-year contract since he won't be able to participate in spring practices.

If you want to smoke them, reduce the heat to 250 degrees and add wood chips to your fire after the first 30 minutes. You want the smoke to be light, not heavy, so only do this once while cooking for about 60-75 minutes. Once done, remove carefully from the grill, remove foil, place in bowl and add a small scoop pf premium vanilla ice cream on top. You can also quarter them and then add ice cream if you wish

Oak Ridge is located in the eastern part of Tennessee, roughly 22 miles northwest of Knoxville. IT combines the abundant amenities of a big city with a small-town atmosphere. The city is situated in two counties, Anderson and Roane. Spanning approximately 92 square miles, part of the land includes plants and facilities of the U.S. Department of Energy. Only about 30 square miles of the city include residential, commercial and municipal-owned property. In 2009, Oak Ridge was named one of the 25 fastest-growing towns where residents see their incomes go the furthest by Money Magazine.
Oak Ridge is a great community for families because of its very low crime rates, greenways, athletic fields and close proximity to national parks. The city is also the location of the Melton Hill Lake, which is recognized as the home of the Oak Ridge rowing course, which offers 173 miles of shoreline for boating, fishing and rowing. The City is also home to 16 beautiful community parks peppered around town.
Oak Ridge apartments for rent are ideal for the outdoors type because of all the amenities and beautiful weather. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of Oak Ridge is more than 29,350.
The history of Oak Ridge began when the U.S. government built the community in secrecy during World War II as a major site of the Manhattan Project, the wartime effort that created the world's first atomic weapons. An estimated 60,000 acres of rural farmland was purchased by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers in 1942. The goal was to create a temporary city with three different facilities to develop sufficient technology that ended the war. After the war ended, the community remained and turned from a military town into an independent city. Originally, the community was self-governing, but in 1959 residents voted overwhelmingly to incorporate the area.
Oak Ridge is home to a national laboratory and a national security complex, so there are many high-tech employers in the area. The top employers in the area include B&W Y-12, UT-Battelle, Methodist Medical Center, UCOR, SAIC, Oak Ridge Associated Universities and Energy Solutions.
Students living in apartments in Oak Ridge have several opportunities for post-secondary education, including: Pellissippi State Community College; the University of Tennessee; Maryville College Civic Arts Center; Tennessee Wesleyan College and Roane State Community College. The University of Tennessee, Knoxville was founded in 1794.
Living in Oak Ridge is perfect for any budget, especially considering the beautiful landscape, abundance of recreational activities and close proximity to Knoxville. According to Best Places, the overall cost of living is 14 points lower than the national average, food is 12 points lower and utilities are 1 point higher. Similarly, the average cost of rentals in Oak Ridge is very inexpensive. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the median gross rent is $656.
The Secret City Festival is a huge event that happens every year. The family-friendly event boasts countless entertainment options including live music, area's for children of all ages, nationally known entertainers, history exhibits and the south's largest WWII reenactment. The event also features arts and crafts, a juried arts show, food and much more.
The American Museum of Science and Energy is another highly visited attraction in Oak Ridge, as are the Oak Ridge Playhouse, Southern Appalachia Railway Museum, Museum of Appalachia and Children's Museum of Oak Ridge.

Alyson Hannigan, who plays Lily on the hit show "How I Met Your Mother," appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday and talked about her youngest daughter's Irish name.
She told the talk show host that she spells her daughter's name 'Keeva', which is not the traditional spelling. Hannigan said, "I can't even spell the actual Gaelic version [Caoimhe]. But it looks like when you grab your scrabble tiles and you go, 'Oh that's not a word.'"
Hannigan's confusion on the spelling is understandable. Irish is a difficult language and she said that having kids has made her forgetful. She said, "You get really dumb when you have kids because the pregnancy brain thing," and she added, "And then you're like," I just haven't slept in four years."
Despite not being able to spell it in Gaelic, Hannigan likes the name. She told DeGeneres, "It means just lovely, wonderful, beautiful, it's like eight words, but they're all nice."
Hannigan's daughter Keeva is six months old and is the star's second daughter. Hannigan's first child is three year old Satyana. Hannigan has said she enjoys watching the bond between her two daughters. She told DeGeneres, "[Satyana] is fantastic she's just a great big sister. And Keeva is just enchanted by her big sister."
She talked about her oldest daughter and her fashion. Hannigan told DeGeneres, "She's probably got about four tutus, four or five." She added, "She lays out all her clothes on the floor. There's a dress that goes over it, hats and mittens and tutus."
Hannigan will be reunited with one of her Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-stars in an upcoming episode of "How I Met Your Mother." Seth Green will play Lily's "long-lost friend" in an episode that started shooting last week. Green previously played Hannigan's boyfriend Oz on Buffy.
Hannigan talks to DeGeneres about her children in the clip below:
I. thought Alyson Hannigan was a Good "Hollywood" Jewish Girl ? My own Grandmother always started speaking English, whenever I. tried talking to her in French or German; Alas ~
Ah WOunded George, youre American! Its great that you know a foreign language. Really.
What planet are you from? You don't watch American TV
GenericUser; You don't know Irish, right? Well then stop posting your ignorance about the language. You sound like a real fool.
@WoundedKnee Uh...several of my Irish friends in Ireland have named their children old Irish names. It's actually quite fashionable and has been for quite some time now. I'm in my mid 30s now and there have been many Irish-named babies among my friends since I was in my early 20s right up to present day. And Caoimhe is pronounced 'Keeva' in Donegal/Ulster Irish. Perhaps you'd be best to get your facts right before you start criticising and judging. Actually, maybe you should just stop criticising and judging.
I am happy that Ms Hannigan (who is she anyway?--never heard of her) has tried to pick a name from the language of her ancestors. In so doing she is well ahead of most young mothers in Ireland, who favor names such as Beyonce, Belinda or Brittany. I hate to be a pedant, however, but that spelling ia way off, since it completely changes the quality of the first vowel in the word. If she had stuck a /w/ into it it would be pretty close --- /Kweeva/.

Video: Rats Choose to Liberate Their Jailed Pals, A Sign of Empathy Among Non-Primate Mammals
Given a choice between eating chocolate alone and rescuing their pals, rats will apparently save their pals and then share the chocolate with them. Trapping a rat in a cage sparks its cagemate into action, as it figures out how to open the cage and liberate its jailed friend. This is an unusual example of rats expressing empathy, a trait thought to be reserved to us higher mammals, the primates.
It's interesting from an evolutionary perspective, because it suggests that pro-social behaviors originated earlier than previously thought. And it's interesting from a neuroscience perspective, because it suggests rats are wired for pro-social behaviors, which means they can be used as a model for human behaviors.
"There are a lot of ideas in the literature showing that empathy is not unique to humans, and it has been well demonstrated in apes, but in rodents it was not very clear," said study co-author Jean Decety, a psychiatry and psychology professor at the University of Chicago. "We put together in one series of experiments evidence of helping behavior based on empathy in rodents, and that's really the first time it's been seen."
The simple experiment used no fancy technology and no bizarre new methods — it just separated two rat friends that normally shared a cage and watched what happened.
The rats started out sharing a cage for two weeks, enough time to get acquainted. Then the animals were placed in a special chamber, where one rat was inserted into a cramped restraining device that could be nudged open from the outside. The other rat was free to roam around and observe the plight of its jailed pal, both squeaking ultrasonic alarm calls all the while.
The free rat was agitated when its cagemate was trapped, which the researchers say is evidence of "emotional contagion," a lower form of empathy in which animals share in the fear or distress of another animal. But what happened next was much more like true empathy. Although the rats were agitated, they didn't freak out, freeze or become overwhelmed with fear, which is one possible reaction to emotional contagion. Instead, they coolly circled the container, bit it, clawed at it and generally spent time near it, even reaching through holes to touch (and comfort?) the trapped rat.
The researchers tried several different controls to figure out what was motivating the rats. They experimented with empty cages, to ensure the rats weren't just curious about the box-thing, and they found the rats ignored the empty ones. They tried keeping the rats separate even after liberation — socialization would be a reward for freeing the trapped rat — yet the rat still freed its friend.
They even tried a "cagemate versus chocolate paradigm," the authors explain. A free rat was placed in an area with two containers, one containing its cagemate and one containing pieces of chocolate. It would open the chocolate cage about as often as the rat cage, suggesting "the value of freeing a trapped cagemate is on par with that of accessing chocolate chips." But more than half the time, the free rats did not hog all the chocolate chips. They saved them and let their liberated cagemates have half of them.
The rats figured out several different ways to open the door, and the researchers say they clearly learned what would happen. "Whereas rats initially froze after the door fell over, later on they did not freeze, demonstrating that door-opening was the expected outcome of a deliberate, goal-directed action," they write.
Female rats were also more likely to become door-openers, "which is consistent with suggestions that females are more empathic than males," the authors added.
Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal, the paper's first author, said in a statement that the rats were not trained at all, but figured out how to complete a difficult task to help their cagemates.
"These rats are learning because they are motivated by something internal," Bartal said. "They keep trying and trying, and it eventually works."
The study is published in this week's issue of Science.

This looks more like the rats are just curious about the cage and want to see the inside. The rat on the outside immediately rushes into the cage after it opens, mostly ignoring the other rat. PopSci, I know you can do better than this.
@tyronemojojohnson You can read, right? "The researchers tried several different controls to figure out what was motivating the rats. They experimented with empty cages, to ensure the rats weren't just curious about the box-thing, and they found the rats ignored the empty ones."
Whoa!! Not.
To be honest that just does not amaze me. As far as i see it the rat was liberating his friend in, either; an attempt to breed,or reunite as a pack for survival (geese are a perfect example). When they grouped a female she had greater motivation , not because of being female with a strong sense of empathy, but because they had a greater urge to mate, and maintian survival. The scientist already claimed the two were cage mates so what is there to say that rats wont uniform in a colony and attempt to protect one another to ensure species survival. Take this same test, but with dogs, and you can see that dogs will attempt to free there caged mate, but later will try patience because they realize it is not possible, and in time their partner (so to speak) will be free. Lastly, we need actual proof. Maybe a CT scan that they have used to map the human brain and emotions. So lets not jump to conclusions and actually believe in animal emotions.
...At least not yet.
Soo... hasn't it already been proven that cats and dogs do this? I'm also pretty sure I saw something somewhere about an octupus doing this as well. This hardly seems ground breaking and/or amazing.
In fact, I'm fairly certain that if you did the same experiment with virtually ANY known social creature who is physically capable of performing the task, you would get the same results.
As far as the "Female rat's were more likely to become door openers" statement... well, again, I point to OTHER research, especially in primates, that demonstrates that in general females tend to learn "Skill" oriented tasks easier and sooner then thier male counterparts. However as the "males" got older they eventually picked up on the tasks and became equally adept. So the question then becomes, "How OLD were the rats?" and "Did they SEE other rats perform the task?" so on and so forth.
Xionanx, I think you missed the part of the article that talks about how this is the first observed instance of this behavior in rats. Yeah, they've already observed this type of behavior in higher-order mammals.
The implication is that this trait, empathy, showed up a lot earlier in mammals than they thought, making rats a better candidate for behavioral studies related to humans than previously thought.
Interesting but ultimately not surprising really. They don't breed like crazy because they dislike each other, and this idea that animals are complete zombies is laughable. Be interesting to know however if certain insects can exhibit similar behaviours.
Also that is the loudest test environment on the planet, are they on a train or something? LOL
I don't think it was empathy. I think the rescue rat was jealous of his friend being inside the jail, so he wanted in. See how he immediately went inside the jail after opening the door? He did it every time. I think he knew that rescuing his friend is irrelevant, seeing that both of them are inside a bigger case, so he might as well do something worthwhile, like how to stop his friend from squeaking so much?
I agree with much of which has been said. deebirs brings up a good point that these are social animals performing social behaviors. But to all who simply dismiss the idea of animals performing in empathetic ways, you should think twice. The title of the article suggest that the scientist were demonstrating that non-primate animals could carry the same empathetic feelings that primates do, not that all of a sudden these rats think like humans. Some driving force is acting here. Claiming this to be just an act of survival instinct is absolutely bogus. Would you not agree that an act of survival is completely selfish. Wouldn't the rat go and eat first? Wouldn't a mama bear flee instead of protecting her cubs? What i'm getting at is that the article suggest that more mammals than just primates can carry empathetic feelings. Maybe it's empathy, maybe it's not but something more is driving this rat to release the other. Something more than just a flight or fight, cut and dry survival instinct. Something on a more emotional level.
@gogotiff Are you blind? Does that rat look like it's sympathetic towards the other rat? As for the empty cage test, maybe the outside rat thought there was food or something in the small cage with the other rat. Don't be so narrow-minded, you sheep.
The trapped rat may have had something better than chocolate to offer ;) the way the free one runs straight in to sniff the area the trapped rat would have dribbled most urine.. was she in season perhaps?
Did they control this with same sex mice? or better yet neutered ones? I missed that bit in the article if they did..
@tyronemojojohnson You have just proved that you cannot, in fact, read. "They tried keeping the rats separate even after liberation — socialization would be a reward for freeing the trapped rat — yet the rat still freed its friend. They even tried a "cagemate versus chocolate paradigm," the authors explain. A free rat was placed in an area with two containers, one containing its cagemate and one containing pieces of chocolate. It would open the chocolate cage about as often as the rat cage, suggesting "the value of freeing a trapped cagemate is on par with that of accessing chocolate chips." But more than half the time, the free rats did not hog all the chocolate chips. They saved them and let their liberated cagemates have half of them."
These conclusions are not based on whether or not the test rats "look sympathetic". Talk about narrow-minded. Try reading the source material. I'm not just taking some random blog post at face value like a "sheep". I'm actually looking at the reported data and drawing my own conclusions.
I'm a neuroscience researcher by the way. This is my profession. Animal behavior happens to be my specialty. Look forward to hearing your rebuttal.
@gogotiff I'm sorry, but maybe I can't read after all. I have not seen any reported data in this article at all, other than the video showing one instance of a rat freeing another. You even said: "These conclusions are not based on... I'm actually looking at the reported data and drawing my own conclusions."
You are parroting Bartal's conclusion. Reported data my ass.
Also, a person with your ego would probably announce that you're a doctor if you were. Since you claimed to be a "neuroscience researcher," I'm assuming you do not have a Ph.D. I do congratulate you, however, for being an active member of PopSci. These articles do seem to be geared toward lab technicians.
@tyronemojojohnson Allow me help you out. You see those bolded blue words in the article? Those are called links. Click on them and they will lead you to... *GASP!* A scientific journal publication! With data! Numbers! Methods!
Holy chocolate chips, Batman! Someone give this girl a PhD! :)
@gogotiff Honestly, some people have better jobs than reading about recent experiments to try to impress post-docs. These people don't subscriptions to online scientific journals.
I do find it funny that you do not, in fact, have a PhD, yet you brag about being a researcher.
(Sorry, no sarcastic congrats included)
@tyronemojojohnson I never bragged about being a researcher. I was simply pointing out that my academic and professional career happens to be in the same exact field as the topic of this post, and therefore you could take heart that I was not just talking out of my ass when commenting on the experiments and conclusions being discussed above. And I only chose to mention this because you called me a blind, narrow-minded sheep. Just wanted to reassure you that I wasn't just your average amateur science buff trying to interpret complex animal behavior studies, so that you wouldn't prematurely write me off as someone who has no idea what they're talking about.
Let's recap.
12/8, You question a key point in the text and put down PopSci for blogging about an experiment that you consider invalid.
12/8, I reply (maybe too harshly, I admit) by quoting where the text has already addressed your concerns.
12/14, You reply by questioning another point of the experiment, and then insult and scold me for blindly regurgitating conclusions that are not my own.
12/22, I reply by again quoting where the text directly answers your questions, defend the author's data interpretation, and then attempt to validate my own interpretation by pointing out the extra info in the reported publication and my experience in the field. See comment above.
1/11, You call out this invisible reported data, and my "ego", and start talking about graduate degrees.
1/13, I helpfully direct you to the linked publication, and wonder why I ever got involved with this thread in the first place, since it's clear you're the type of person that just comments on articles without reading them, a.k.a. an internet troll.
1/15, You reply with, if I may paraphrase, "I'm better than you. You're dumb. You suck."
Congratulations. You win. :)
Why I'm getting involved, I don't know but @tyronemojojohnson do you understand the difference between quantitative and qualitative research?
"I have not seen any reported data in this article at all, other than the video showing one instance of a rat freeing another."
So after you look up the definition of qualitative (assuming you can read it) you will come to realize that you just got your ass handed to you by @gogotiff. There is data there, in the hyperlinks (like @gogotiff pointed out you blind sheep), but that data is unnecessary to the article's chief goal because it's qualitative research not quantitative. The researchers goal was to observe the behaviors of the rats and then give a conclusion based on their observations. That is what qualitative research is.
btw if your going to criticize someone for not having a phd... at least finish your sentences troll
"These people don't subscriptions to online scientific journals. I do find it funny that you do not, in fact, have a PhD, yet you brag about being a researcher."
P.S. @gogotiff is a neuroscience researcher.... what are you? Sanitation Engineer?

The Faces of Innovation: Carlos Hernandez
November 26, 2013
In an interview with Carlos Hernandez, founder and CEO of SenseData/autopro™, we talk about his inspiration to create an app, running a startup and what the government can do to encourage new businesses. Carlos is also a member of the Washington, D.C.-based startup community 1776. Explain the concept of autopro? What inspired you to create the app? The concept of autopro is to give consumers real-time health information about their cars' current health condition from the computers onboard the car. Since 2009, I have worked with my father Jose Luis Hernandez, an immigrant from Mexico who started his second company...
Talking Tech Policy with Darrell Issa
November 15, 2013
Darrell Issa was finishing his second term as CEA chairman when he was elected Nov. 8, 2000, to the U.S. House of Representatives representing the 48th congressional district in California, winning 61 percent of the vote. The district was renumbered as the 49th after the 2000 census. It was the first time that a sitting chairman of a major trade association was elected to Congress.

The Faces of Innovation: Jeff Puchalski
November 06, 2013
Jeff Puchalski is founder and CEO of Modisco, a location-aware mobile service that allows people to discover and connect with others nearby who have similar interests. He discusses startups and energy monitoring. Explain the concept of Modisco. The original idea that led to Modisco was to use technology as a bridge to link the virtual and real worlds. Over the years, I noticed the increasing frequency with which people interacted with their devices—laptops, phones and tablets—rather than their surroundings. I began thinking of ways to leverage those tendencies to provide a useful service. One idea was to use ...
Find Energy Everywhere and Anywhere
October 18, 2013
Being green isn't just trendy, it's smart. And contrary to what Kermit the Frog would have people believe, every day it's getting easier to be green, thanks to new and innovative technologies. Today, more consumers are interested in green technology as the options for alternative energy sources continue to grow. Green consumer electronics (CE) technology typically has a few distinct characteristics: Sustainability: Products meet the needs of the consumer while minimizing the impact on natural resources.

October 03, 2013

The meeting held at the U.S. Department of State included religious, military and industry leaders who collectively are calling for the ratification of the Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities, more commonly referred to as "The Disabilities Treaty." Representing CEA at the meeting was Julie Kearney, CEA's vice president of regulatory affairs, (4th from bottom right) with Secretary Kerry and...

He talks about innovation, nanotechnology and how the government can help innovators. What inspired you to found NCD Technologies? When I was a child, I distinctly remember play fighting with plastic swords with a fellow neighbor. Mine broke and I thought, "Someday, I'm going to build something better that's universally used." Forgetting my dreams, I pursued my Ph.D. and continued on with my life. However, I stumbled across a product with nanocrystalline diamond. It's a material that can be used universally to...
The Waiting Game: FDA Regulation of Mobile Medical Apps
September 24, 2013
Businesses in any industry rarely ask the government for increased regulation and oversight. However, as the mobile health app industry quickly expands, many companies in the space are seeking greater clarity from regulatory bodies to not only mitigate potential risk, but also to protect their research and development investment. Only with clear guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the agency with regulatory oversight of mobile medical apps, can the industry continue on its course of rapid innovation. Mobile health apps range from fitness trackers and calorie counters to symptom checkers and disease management. For example, if you have diabetes, and want to...
Driver Safety
September 19, 2013
CEA and its members have long held the belief that safety is paramount in a moving vehicle and a driver's highest priority must be maintaining safe control of the vehicle at all times. Together, we continue to support commonsense measures like state legislation that bans texting while driving and places strict limits on the use of electronics by novice drivers. CEA is moving forward to expand its work and advocacy in the area of driver safety through a combination of new advocacy and education efforts: In July, CEA President and CEO Gary Shapiro signed AT&T's "It Can Wait" pledge. ...

Inspiring Education - Alberta's Vision for Education
Looking Ahead
Albertans have told us that our education system must grow and adapt in order to meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of a constantly evolving world. While we may not know exactly what the future holds, we do know that some competencies and attributes will be particularly important to the success of our students.
Engaged Thinker – Alberta must cultivate students with an inquisitive, engaged mind. Students that are prepared to ask "why?" and think critically about the answers they receive.
Ethical Citizen - Knowing the answer is not enough. Our children and grandchildren must be ethical, compassionate and respectful to truly grow and thrive.
Entrepreneurial Spirit – To shape innovative ideas into real-world solutions, our education system should develop motivated, resourceful and resilient citizens. Alberta would do well to encourage our students to be bold, embrace leadership and actively seek new opportunities.
Education Minister, Jeff Johnson's letter to grade one parents and guardians emphasizing the significance of Inspiring Education. Read in English or French.
How We Got Here
In 2009, Albertans gathered in person and online during Inspiring Education: A Dialogue with Albertans to share their hopes, dreams and aspirations for K-12 education in the 21st century and beyond. Inspiring Education generated rich conversations and thoughtful insight; highlighting values, skills, practices and knowledge that will be vital to our children and grandchildren in a rapidly changing world. Out of these many conversations, a broad policy framework document was developed to describe the overall direction, principles and long-term goals for education in Alberta.
What's Happening Now
Since the conclusion of the Inspiring Education dialogues, we've been working hard to transform our system and bring the vision of Inspiring Education to life. Some examples of this transformation include:
- A new Provincial Dual Credit Strategy – Creating opportunities for students to earn both high school and post-secondary credits for the same course. These credits could also lead to workplace certification or advanced standing in post-secondary programs.
- Improvements to the provincial diploma exam – Providing students with more flexibility in writing diploma exams through a digital format.
- A high school flexibility program – Empowering students to show learning through mastery of the subject, rather than linking credits to the number of hours at a desk.
- Review and replacement of the old Provincial Achievement Test – Introducing student-friendly assessments to replace existing Provincial Achievement Tests. The new Student Learning Assessments will maintain a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, but will also help educators and parents understand how well students demonstrate competencies such as creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving.
- The Education Act Regulatory Review – Regulations related to the new Education Act will help provide students with the supports and environment they'll need to succeed. We will be opening this process up to public and stakeholder input in the summer/fall of 2013.

The 71st edition of Pitti Immagine Filati, which took place at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence from 4-6 July 2012 attracted 4600 visitors and for the first time in the history of the event the number of foreign buyers (2340) exceeded the number of Italian visitors (2260) which decreased by approximately 18%.
"Amongst the international markets, led by Germany and the United Kingdom, there were increases from "strong producers" such as France, Japan, Holland, Russia, Turkey, China and Korea – and debuts from countries like Mongolia, Belarus, South Africa, Kazakhstan and Indonesia," organisers said in a statement.
Raffaello Napoleone CEO of Pitti Immagine, offers his assessment of the fair:
"There are lots of reasons for being more than satisfied with this edition of Pitti Filati. There was a very good atmosphere amongst the yarn manufacturers who welcomed their best clients and new ones too, from countries that are just beginning to employ fine yarns."
"This probably explains why the perception of attendance was better than the actual figures. Amongst the buyers – in particular the knitwear representatives and the managers of independent style bureaus and big fashion houses – I witnessed a high level of interest and approval for the many innovative proposals presented, the result of intense research activities carried out by the exhibitors, which was focused on materials, stitches, styles and combinations," Mr Napoleone said.
"Finally, the Spazio Ricerca, curated by Angelo Figus and Nicola Miller, was very well attended. I believe that this edition's Renaissance theme touched a sensitive chord on a cultural and emotional level, as well as on a technical one."
" We at Pitti Immagine are always trying to bring demand and supply together in the most stimulating and workable context possible, promoting the event on all four corners of the earth, also through our collaboration with our valuable allies, ICE (Istituto nazionale per il Commercio Estero – Italian Trade Commission) and Toscana Promozione. The results prove us right: the expected (but no less painful) drop in the number of Italians was accompanied by a slight but significant 1% rise in foreign attendance, albeit with an increase in the number of countries represented".
The next edition of Pitti Immagine Filati will be held in Florence, Fortezza da Basso, from 23rd to 25th January 2013.

What would a Christmas parade be without Santa and his sleigh?
It almost happened with the Festival of Lights parade.
But Dave Bullock, who works at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, volunteered to build a sleigh and harnesses for the reindeer when parade organizers were left without a sleigh.
"Dave spent nine months and 900 hours to complete the sleigh and donate it to the Festival of Lights," according to the mayor's office.
To recognize Bullock for his efforts, Mayor Steve Bach will present Bullock with a Spirit of the Springs award at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The mayor's office said Bullock stepped up to the plate when board members of the Festival of Lights "found out that they would not have access to the North Pole Sleigh from Cascade."
"Santa's sleigh had been provided for more than two decades by the North Pole, Home of Santa's Workshop, in Cascade. Weather complications and staffing shortages have recently become obstacles for the North Pole," The Gazette reported in September.
"It's a tough time of the year for us. We're so busy," says Tom Haggard, North Pole's owner. "It was a lot of fun for a long time, but it takes a toll on us."
The new sleigh was inspired by the sleigh in the 2011 movie "Arthur Christmas," according to Kuni Lexus, which sponsored the project.
