The NFL just released the preseason schedule for the 2012 season. Who do the Seahawks have on the schedule? According to @ByTimBooth, the schedule shakes out like this:
Game 1 the Seahawks will face Matt Hasselbeck, Jordan Babineaux, Steve Hutchinson and the rest of the Tennessee Titans in Seattle. The eta for the date is (Aug. 9-13), but the exact date has not been announced.
Game 2 pairs Seattle with the fish that got away in Peyton Manning and the new-look Denver Broncos. That game will be played in the Mile High City.
Game 3 sends the Seahawks to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. No smart ass remarks on this game unfortunately.
Game 4 brings the yearly contest between the Seahawks and the Oakland Raiders in Seattle. Wonder how loud the boos for Aaron Curry will be?
The games will be broadcast on KCPQ/Q13 Fox and also carried on 710 ESPN and 97.3 FM.
The NFL seems to be trying to keep itself relevant by spacing the offseason regiment out to keep the NFL a hot topic even in the offseason.
What do you think, 12th man? Like the pre-season match ups?
You have to love the AFC West nostalgia they're throwing in there.

The All-American Trail is scheduled to reopen Wednesday to runners, walkers and cyclists.
The trail has been closed since Sept. 29 for deer hunting season. The trail closes each fall in an effort to protect pedestrians and cyclists from coming too close to deer hunters who are hunting near the trail.
The trail closure includes a one-day buffer before and after the firearms hunting seasons. Muzzleloader season began Oct. 1, and rifle season will end Tuesday.
The trail's status is marked by signs where the trail meets major roads, including Plank Road and Raeford Vass Road off Highway 401.
Anyone interested in using the trail should check the signs any time of the year or call Fort Bragg Wildlife Branch at 432-5414 or 432-5427 to find out the trail's status.
The deadline to register in Morale, Welfare and Recreation's indoor soccer league is Jan. 18.
The league, which begins play Jan. 25, is open to teams of military or government ID cardholders at a cost of $100 per team.
There's no limit to the number of players on a team's roster, but the roster must include players' name, rank, unit and the last four digits of their Social Security number.
Rosters must be turned in to the Sports Office before the first game. The $100 entry fee will be collected during the regular season.
League games will be played at Ritz-Epps Physical Fitness Center on Fridays and Saturdays. The league is scheduled to end March 9 with the finals of a postseason tournament.
Interested teams must submit their registration online at fortbraggmwr.com.
For more information about the indoor soccer program, contact intramural sports coordinator Steve Johnson at 396-1217.

It's finally here! Election Day. Can you believe it? Tomorrow we'll either have the same or…more of the same just a different guy in the White House.
Why, I look back now and fondly remember those heady days of the Republican debates and the frontrunner of the week. Just about every presidential primary candidate had their time in the spotlight, their moment when they thought "I could be president".
Poor fools.
It was Romney, and it always was. The rest were just affairs and the Republican Party was a fickle lover. Guys like Romney always get the girl in the end.
The Democrats? Well they just twiddled their thumbs, sat around waiting on the Republicans to send them an adversary. They got him and they didn't like him. We haven't seen two men running for president who so intensely disliked each other since the days of Bush-Gore.
But all of that is past and elections are about the future. Yep. We know we're screwed no matter which one of the pre-Thanksgiving turkeys win.
By George Washington, we're gonna elect us a president! Hopefully we'll know who he is sometime in the near future.
O.K., I admit I ripped this idea from the New York Times and CBS poll but I thought it might be interesting. You can fill in your own answer instead of a stock answer provided. Call it a moment of truth and sincerity before the blood and guts partisanship and recriminations that we all know is coming. The country is divided and half of the people in it are going to be pissed when their man loses. That's a lot of people.
But if you want to take their online poll go ahead, the link is below, and see how many agree, or disagree, with you. I have to credit this twaddle to something.

Way more important than real voting.
It's that time of year again when voting begins for all of the panels everyone has submitted to South by Southwest Interactive. Even if you're not planning on attending South by Southwest Interactive, you can still support metaio by making your voice heard in the community voting!
Take a quick minute to create a PanelPicker account (if you don't have one) and then link straight to these two great panels that feature metaio projects and use-cases:
How A Virtual Pop-Star Sold Her First Car featuring Lisa Murphy of metaio!
In order to engage with a younger, tech-savvier audience, Toyota launched an integrated marketing campaign for the 2012 Toyota Corolla that featured emerging technology like 2-D print activation and vision-based mobile augmented reality to leverage its existing yet scarcely-downloaded mobile app, the Toyota Shopping Tool. It also features an entirely digital open-source anime pop-star sensation named Hatsune Miku.
Toyota saw huge successes as a result: Corolla leads jumped 30% the week of the lauch; Toyota Shopping Tool mobile app downloads increased 600%; website traffice for the first week increased 167% and continued at an all time high for the next seven weeks.
In this proposal, learn how the interactive director of a multicultural agency and the project lead for an augmented reality company worked together to make this campaign a huge success for Toyota, culminating in a Multicultural Excellence Award.
Hot Housewives Getting Augmented At Home featuring a project developed with the metaio Mobile SDK!
The lady of the house is often the one picking the décor and design at home. If she can see a ductless system in her house virtually, thanks to augmented reality, sales rise — and have they ever. Using custom mobile apps integrated with emerging technology, such as augmented reality and a custom app store, Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating is revolutionizing the way its sales channel members do business. Tools in hand, Mitsubishi Electric is projecting an increase of $30 million in revenue next year, while simultaneously decreasing future costs for printing and distributing product catalogs by millions of dollars.
Mitsubishi Electric's products can save homeowners 30-percent on their energy bill, but most just want to know, "What is it going to look like in my house?" Augmented reality is Mitsubishi Electric's most visual tool in its custom app store that will deploy 11 new enterprise apps for a variety of specific needs in its sales channel.
Voting starts today and continues to the end of the month, so tell your friends!

OMG, it was the EVO2K4 finals(the biggest fighting game touney, i think) for Street Fighter 3rd Strike. The two finalists are Daigo and Justin Wong. Daigo is Ken and Justin is Chun-Li. Justin has a little less than half of his health left, Daigo has only 1 punch of health left. What follows is the most amazing thing i've ever seen. Check the video here.
I'm not big into fighting games but that did indeed pwn. I'm guessing the move the chick used was supposed to pretty much kill the guy or something. Looked pretty hard to block
Here's the downlow, Daigo parryed all of Justin's special move. Now parrying requries you to press forward right before the attack hits you. And you have to do this for all the hits in a move. What Dagio did was amazing cause if he blocked, his energy would have been chipped away. It's sorta like he predicted exactly when he would do the move and parried all the hits and hit him with a counter attack. Now to parry all the hits in a super move is like you have to predict what he's gonna do, and time you parries perfectly.
This was posted by The Dude not too long ago! j00 stoeld it!!!
edit: I just watched it again and shit my pants with excitment

Holy shit! He parried like 20 kicks in what, about 2 seconds? With like 0 health left too. Insane.
Even if you don't like Street Fighter you gotta respect this dudes skills. Best fucking comeback ever.
I was confused until I read the rest of this thread. Then it hit me, just how outrageous that thing was.
Holy. Shit.
That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a video game.
Someone needs to make a website of amazing game videos like this. Does anyone know of any other cool videos like this?

Seeking fifth straight win, D-backs take on Doc
Fast forward a little more than two weeks and the club has completely turned around its season. The D-backs have gone 11-3 since leaving Cincinnati and are closing in on first place in the National League West.
The team will go for its fifth consecutive win Saturday when the D-backs try to clinch the series against the struggling Phillies.
Taking the hill for Arizona will be veteran lefty Joe Saunders. The 31-year-old pitched admirably in his last outing, but took his seventh loss of the season as he surrendered four earned runs on eight hits in seven innings against the Mets.
Two of the runs that scored reached base via walk.
"He pitched all right," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said after the game. "When he got behind in the count, that's when they hurt him."
After posting a 0.90 ERA in April, a 6.12 ERA in May, a 2.89 ERA in June and a 4.15 ERA in July, Saunders will hope August brings back a good month for him on the mound.
Opposing the D-backs for the Phillies will be Roy Halladay. After allowing six runs in six innings on July 23 to the Brewers, the 35-year-old bounced back in his last start, giving up just three runs in six innings.
The right-hander retired the final 10 batters he faced, perhaps a sign he is starting to get back on track.
"We made some changes mechanically," said Halladay after the game. "It's going to take some getting used to, but pitch-wise, I thought there was better movement. The cutter was better. The curveball was better. It was a good step, but I need to keep working on it and be more consistent with it. I definitely felt like it was a step in the right direction; things were better."
Phillies: Blanton sent to the Dodgers
Right-hander Joe Blanton became the sixth familiar face to depart the Phillies' clubhouse Friday, when he was sent to the Dodgers for a player to be named later or cash considerations in a waiver trade. He was scheduled to start for the Phillies against the D-backs at Citizens Bank Park; Kyle Kendrick got the assignment instead.
"I'd like to do more. I want to try to do some things to improve the club," Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "We've claimed some players over the last couple of days, players we think would help us. Whether we're going to get them or not is a completely different issue. But we're still trying to improve our club for this year and beyond. I'd like to do more. And if we can, we will.
"Right now, more than anything else, I think I'd probably like to improve my outfield if we have a chance to do something that makes an impact. Off the bench we're a little bit left-handed, so if we could get somebody from the right side, that would be helpful, too -- give Charlie a little more balance off the bench."
D-backs: Bloomquist still out
Willie Bloomquist, who has been dealing with back pain, was not in the D-backs' lineup for the fourth straight game on Friday.
"I think he'll be available," Gibson said before the game. "I just wasn't gonna put him in the [starting] lineup today."
Bloomquist wanted to start, according to Gibson, but the skipper wants to make sure he's OK first. He was scheduled to take batting practice before Friday's series opener against the Phillies, but rain canceled the D-backs' turn for BP.
The veteran infielder didn't end up coming into Friday's game as a pinch-hitter or defensive replacement.
Worth noting
Acquired from Boston at the non-waiver Trade Deadline, Matt Albers joined the D-backs on Friday in Philadelphia.
Kendrick saw his career-best 22-inning scoreless streak end Friday night in the second inning when Justin Upton launched his 100th career homer.

January 22nd 2011
Alice Idelle Brumfield, 98, died Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011 at St. Dominic's Hospital in Jackson, following being a resident for several years at the Manhattan Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Jackson.
A short visitation will be held at Concord Baptist Church on Sunday, January 23, 2011 at 2 p.m. followed by the funeral service. Burial will follow at the cemetery adjacent to the church.
Miss Brumfield was born at home in the Concord Church Community in Yazoo County on Jan. 5, 1913, the second daughter of Tom Brumfield Jr. and Vera Woodson May.
Following her graduation as salutatorian in the first graduating class at Anding High School in Bentonia, she attended a business course at the school. She later studied nursing for a time period in Vicksburg and then trained as a hair dresser in Memphis, Tenn. She worked as a hair dresser in Jackson for about six years before joining the US Army Corps of Engineers in Mountain Home, Ark. as an administrative support employee.
In the mid-1940s, she served in Hawaii with the Corps. Following the end of World War II, Miss Brumfield was selected as the administrative support person for Gen. Lucien Clay, the Allied Commander in Europe after the war. She was stationed at that time in Frankfurt, Germany. She later joined the Central Intelligence Agency as a administrative staff member and retired from the Agency in 1969, after working in the area of finance and budgeting.
During her service Miss Brumfield lived in Germany, Sweden, Australia, South America, Malaysia, and was at the Agency headquarters in Washington, D.C. for several tours of duty. Following her retirement, Miss Brumfield made her home in Jackson. Idelle had many friendships during her service and maintained contact with all of them, including visitations, as long as she could.
One special friend, Cmdr. Arthur H. Graubart, USN-Retired, and his wife, Lucille, were friends from her time in Germany after World War II, until he died in 2004. Cmdr. Graubart had the distinction of being the only naval officer that commanded a German battleship, the Prinz Origen.
Survivors include a brother, Elbert Lamar Brumfield (Francis Brent) of Baton Rouge, La., and numerous nieces and nephews, who live in various parts of the country. She was preceded in death by her parents and by three brothers and two sisters.
The family wishes to thank Ann Washington, Miss Brumfield's neighbor, friend, and later caregiver, for her devotion and support during her later years.
Memorials should be made to Concord Baptist Church, c/o Janice Kirk, Treasurer, 2655, Fletchers Chapel Road, Yazoo City, MS 39194.

New westside Thai -- any reports?
V. interested in this newish Thai place which was brought to my attention via a Dealfind offer. The menu has some different dishes, and I like that they have a link to Asia Market on their website. It's also in my hood. Has anyone ventured in yet?
Hey Greyelf: Got to agree with you about the Pad Thai; my only issue was the shrimp were not very impressive, particularly as I ordered the dish with chicken. Nevertheless I was very happy with the preparation and suggested to the manager that they add Khao Soi noodles, my favourite Northern Thailand dish, to the menu as it is hard to find in Vancouver. I think this place has promise. .
I had lunch there today; we ordered their pad thai and pad prik khing specials, The pad thai was well prepared; nice al dente noodles and proper flavours (ie tamarind and no ketchup) with a slice of lime, The other dish is basically a chicken and green bean stir fry with a curry sauce on the chicken, It was OK but not spicy enough for me. We asked for medium spicy but I think they need to be encouraged to challenge local palates a little bit more. I think it is certainly worth trying; hope to get back and try some of the other mains etc. The server and manager were both pleasant and interesting.
re: À la carte
Yeah, a pre-order is the thing for the specialty dishes, hence the Chowdown idea. There are still 7 and a bit hours left to get the coupon if y'all want to (I nabbed a couple more today): https://bay171.mail.live.com/default....
re: À la carte
Just for you, a la carte : -).
A note about the name: Benjarong is a type of Thai porcelain, and they actually serve the four condiments in a version of it that is absolutely beautiful. I've included a pic.
And now, the food:
We tried a few things I haven't seen on other Thai menus around town, and a few standards for reference. The meal would have been $100 for 4.5 diners without the $60 voucher, so pretty good value -- we didn't have leftovers but everyone was FULL with only one order of rice.
For those of you who enjoy Thai iced tea ($2.50) but find it a bit too rich and sweet, Benjarong is the place for you. They serve it with or without milk, and it is delivered to the table unsweetened with sugar syrup on the side.
We tried the golden bags and crispy moon which are sort of a riff on egg rolls or wontons. Deepfried therefore I like but not super special ($6.50) and I had mine with the excellent nampla prik I ordered as I'm not a fan of sweet dips. Another tip on the nampla prik -- doctor it with a little of the white vinegar that comes in the condiment pots (which you have to ask for) to make it even more betterer.
The deep fried asparagus and prawn starter, while not appearing to me to be remotely Thai, was very good indeed ($9 for four skewers) with no oil taste and no dripping.
The catfish and mango salad was also worthy though it would have benefited from premixing with the sauce. The serving is quite pretty in the three leafy bowls ($14) but the catfish is just tiny deep fried granules on top so don't expect any pieces of fish -- a very light dish that I would not categorize as a main as they have on the menu.
The moo manow was new to me. It is described as poached pork with garlic and lime dressing ($12). The meat is indeed poached and that is not my fave prep for pork. The sauce was also very thin and not layered in any way, without even a real punch of lime and no hint of garlic. I'd pass on this one.
We ordered two soups, one the tom sap or northeastern sour and spicy soup with tomatoes, roasted rice powder and herbs. Also lots of mushrooms. I really liked this soup ($10), which was light but full flavoured with a nice sour twist to it. I will order it hot rather than medium next time though as I think more spice would really elevate it.
We also tried the tom ka with chicken ($10) which was full bodied and lighter than usual on the coconut milk which allowed the broth to really shine. Recommended.
We ordered phad kapao Benjarong (beef stir fried with holy basil and a house sauce $12) because my brother is a fiend for Thai basil. They use the real stuff here and it imparts a strong, almost bitter flavour that you either love or don't love. I don't love, but the dish was well executed with tender but not overtender beef and al dente green beans. Recommended for the Thai holy basil worshipers.
For another bench mark we ordered the pad thai kung sod ($12) which comes with the appropriate tamarind sauce and nicely cooked noodles. Very good version here, possibly my favourite in town after only one try.
We ended by sharing an order of a daily special, sticky rice with rice custard ($6.50). Not the most eye-appealing dish but quite lovely, like a deconstructed rice pudding but better. Recommended also.
The room has good air conditioning (yay!) and is not covered with the typical Thai gewgaws, but rather is quite elegant. There were a number of Thais dining in as a matter of fact, which I think is a good sign. Don't forget to check out the fresh sheet (some nifty looking mussel dishes last night plus fried rice in a pineapple) and the sandwich board outside for specials (that's where the custard was). There were several other dishes I wanted to try but as I said, we were more than satiated with what we had. I think this place has promise.

re: grayelf
Great report and pics, Grayelf! I just had Longtail Kitchen for the second time this weekend and the initial excitement has died down a bit for me. I'll have to try Benjarong to compare.
Gotta say though that Facebook is perfect for posting/discussing meals dish-by-dish. CH should at least implement the ability to add captions.
Haven't made it yet although I've noticed it.
By the way their location map off the website is hilarious. The only thing I recognize (for good reason) is the name Vancouver. You'd never know from it they're on Broadway and Arbutus.Went to Jitlada last night and it was pleasant enough.

Are Babies Born Good?
New research offers surprising answers to the age-old question of where morality comes from
- By Abigail Tucker
- Smithsonian magazine, January 2013, Subscribe
Arber Tasimi is a 23-year-old researcher at Yale University's Infant Cognition Center, where he studies the moral inclinations of babies—how the littlest children understand right and wrong, before language and culture exert their deep influence."What are we at our core, before anything, before everything?" he asks. His experiments draw on the work of Jean Piaget, Noam Chomsky, his own undergraduate thesis at the University of Pennsylvania and what happened to him in New Haven, Connecticut, one Friday night last February.
It was about 9:45 p.m., and Tasimi and a friend were strolling home from dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. Just a few hundred feet from his apartment building, he passed a group of young men in jeans and hoodies. Tasimi barely noticed them, until one landed a punch to the back of his head.
There was no time to run. The teenagers, ignoring his friend, wordlessly surrounded Tasimi, who had crumpled to the brick sidewalk. "It was seven guys versus one aspiring PhD," he remembers. "I started counting punches, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Somewhere along the way, a knife came out." The blade slashed through his winter coat, just missing his skin.
At last the attackers ran, leaving Tasimi prone and weeping on the sidewalk, his left arm broken. Police later said he was likely the random victim of a gang initiation.
After surgeons inserted a metal rod in his arm, Tasimi moved back home with his parents in Waterbury, Connecticut, about 35 minutes from New Haven, and became a creature much like the babies whose social lives he studies. He couldn't shower on his own. His mom washed him and tied his shoes. His sister cut his meat.
Spring came. One beautiful afternoon, the temperature soared into the 70s and Tasimi, whose purple and yellow bruises were still healing, worked up the courage to stroll outside by himself for the first time. He went for a walk on a nearby jogging trail. He tried not to notice the two teenagers who seemed to be following him. "Stop catastrophizing," he told himself again and again, up until the moment the boys demanded his headphones.
The mugging wasn't violent but it broke his spirit. Now the whole world seemed menacing. When he at last resumed his morality studies at the Infant Cognition Center, he parked his car on the street, feeding the meter every few hours rather than risking a shadowy parking garage.
"I've never been this low in life," he told me when we first met at the baby lab a few weeks after the second crime. "You can't help wonder: Are we a failed species?"
At times, he said, "only my research gives me hope."
The study of babies and young toddlers is a perplexing business. Even the most perceptive observers can be tempted to see what isn't there. "When our infant was only four months old I thought that he tried to imitate sounds; but I may have deceived myself," Charles Darwin wrote in "A Biographical Sketch of an Infant," his classic study of his own son. Babies don't reliably control their bodies or communicate well, if at all, so their opinions can't be solicited through ordinary means. Instead, researchers outfit them with miniature wire skullcaps to monitor their brain waves, scrutinize them like shoplifters through video cameras and two-way mirrors, and conduct exceedingly clever and tightly controlled experiments, which a good portion of their subjects will refuse to sit through anyway. Even well-behaved babies are notoriously tough to read: Their most meditative expressions are often the sign of an impending bowel movement.
But tiny children are also some of psychology's most powerful muses. Because they have barely been exposed to the world, with its convoluted cultures and social norms, they represent the raw materials of humanity: who we are when we're born, rather than who we become. Benjamin Spock's famous book, Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care, "starts out with the sentence 'You know more than you think you do,'" says Melvin Konner, an Emory University anthropologist and physician and the author of The Evolution of Childhood. "There's another point that needs to be made to parents: Your baby knows more than you think she knows. That's what's coming out of this kind of research."
The 1980s and '90s brought a series of revelations about very young babies' sophisticated perceptions of the physical world, suggesting that we come to life equipped with quite an extensive tool kit. (Can 5-month-olds count? Absolutely. Do they understand simple physics? Yes.) Recently, some labs have turned to studying infants' inborn social skills, and how babies perceive and assess other people's goals and intentions. Scrutinizing these functions, scientists hope, will reveal some innate features of our minds—"the nutshell of our nature," says Karen Wynn, director of the Yale lab.
"People who've spent their whole careers studying perception are now turning toward social life, because that's where the bio-behavioral rubber meets the evolutionary road," Konner says. "Natural selection has operated as much or more on social behavior as on more basic things like perception. In our evolution, survival and reproduction depended more and more on social competence as you went from basic mammals to primates to human ancestors to humans."

I think that babies are born with certain instincts, and it is up to the surrounding environment to emphasize the right morals.
Posted by Spockers on April 2,2013 | 06:58 PM
I recently saw what you are describing about babies and their empathy. It involved 2 grandchildren. The 21 month old slipped off the kitchen bench and landed under the table. Of course, he was crying loudly, more scared than hurt. His cousin, about 19 1/2 months old was very concerned and as he kept crying she became more and more concerned and looked very upset. When he stopped crying, she went back to smiling and laughing. I read your article back in January and found it interesting. But what I found the most interesting was the confusion this kind of behavior caused your scientists who are exploring this phenomenom. Have you ever considered that those babies are made in God's image which means they mirror his concern and love for humans? It's a lot harder to believe that they evolved out of the "slime" and somehow just happened to become empathetic - in fact it's ridiculous and amazing that faced with creation they have devised these weird solutions and can't see any other solution to these questions.

Fascinating study! I saw a video about these studies awhile back and didn't know where to find more information. This article states that 3 month old babies prefer their own race- I wonder at what age that changes or does it stay the same? I read another study that said even among black children, they choose a 'lighter' colored person over a darker person, when asked which they would like for a friend. And like another reply, I do believe that some children ARE 'born bad' and show violent and cruel tendencies at a very young age. Hopefully someday we WILL be able to find out why that is and how to change it.

I will comment the same here as I did when WSJ published the same article. Everything that is being interpreted as morality can also be explained as self-preservation. Morality is (still) learned; self-preservation is not.
Posted by Steve Borsher on February 16,2013 | 01:29 PM
It would appear that the criticisms of the baby research focus, not so much on the underlying question of inherited basic morality, as on what factors impinge on the basic morality-set that babies are born with. It would be foolish to claim humans are born without inherited social structure genes any more than it would be to claim the same for any other creature. Clearly, every animal has its hard-wired social interaction rules. As clearly, humans could not be without them. This is not to say that, being the complex creatures humans are, those rules aren't frequently affected by the environment into which the baby is born, not to mention the prenatal conditions. And it's not saying that babies can't be born with faulty "wiring," so to speak. Sociopaths may be born as well as raised. But as to whether or not we're born with basic social interaction instructions, it couldn't be logically otherwise. The problems of research are to determine those structures and what affects them.

Randall, I don't think you understand what the word theory means. Let me help you: a theory is a well-substantiated, well-supported, well-documented explanation for our observations. It ties together all the facts about something, providing an explanation that fits all the observations and can be used to make predictions. In science, theory is the ultimate goal, the explanation. It's as close to proven as anything in science can be. Gravity is a theory, but I don't see you saying "it's just a theory". Truth is, all our observations are supported by it, as well as its predictions that we've tested. Also, gravity is real! You can observe it for yourself. Just because it's real doesn't mean that the explanation is a law. The explanation, in scientific terms, is called a theory. Evolution is the same. There's the fact of evolution. Evolution (genetic change over generations) happens, just like gravity does. Don't take my word for it, learn about it (and from a legitimate scientific source, not an ignorant, misinformed creationist website. Here's a link so it's easier: http://evolution.berkeley.edu/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_evolution ). But that's not the issue we are addressing here. The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is our best explanation for the fact of evolution. It has been tested and scrutinized for over 150 years, and is supported by all the relevant observations. The truth is, whether you like it or not, evolution is a fact and there's no way you can deny that. If you have evidence disproving evolution, bring it forward to the scientific community, have it submitted for peer review, and collect your Nobel Prize. Until then, stop disrespecting the scientists that do so much for humanity. It's amazing how much people dismiss everything that scientists discover these days, especially when it goes against their beliefs. It's closed-minded, ignorant, and quite frankly, absolutely offensive.
Posted by Sebastian on January 16,2013 | 02:13 AM
It's hard to believe that such bold proclamations are based on such scant evidence. The more important thing is the intent to prove that people are born good, rather than being born with sin in their hearts as the Bible relates. Most of the experiments suggest to me that the babies know right from wrong and tend to prefer the hero to the villian. That's interesting in itself. But parents know that though kids know the difference between right and wrong, they must constantly be corrected from choosing the wrong or forbidden thing. Sin is certainly inherent, but so is some good too. We are a mixed bag from the beginning and each must decide which impulses to pursue.
Posted by tony on January 15,2013 | 11:22 AM
I have to agreed with Murray. I don't see how the researcher's attacks connects to the rest of the story. Is the author implying that the guys who attacked Tasimi were born good and became criminals because of their environments or they were bad from birth? Does she have any evidence or is this based on her assumptions?

This text is one of the most mind blowing I have read in all my time. Who knew what babies have known!They must think that were domesticated trying to teach them known essentials.
Posted by Cassidy on January 9,2013 | 10:42 AM
I was delighted to see the account. It confirmed similar experiences in my youth, although wasn't as fearful since I was immediately beaten unconscious. Recent studies of concussion confirm my then-impressions of slight residual cognitive loss compared to before. The author's assault and later robbery was exactly what many concealed weapon permit holders fear, especially if accompanied by a female relative or children. The FBI statistics of such assaults could be improved considerably, and should be, as they should be analyzed as well, not just homicides as elsewhere. And yes, the article confirms what many of us parents have seen in our children and grandchildren. Let me show you my pictures and tell you my tales. And please, be careful with the guns. They can get to them surprisingly young if you don't.
Posted by DavidAnthonyC on January 8,2013 | 06:41 PM
I was really exited to read this article, but the whole first page, about a gang attack, doesn't belong here. I understand that the author wants to know where evil comes from, wants to find meaning in what happened. Just before, I read the Avaaz article on the woman in India gang raped and killed. Not easy topics for early morning in bed! I believe the Bible has answers for some questions that we cannot solve ourselves. That the Bible is the truth, and devinely inspired.
Posted by Murray on January 4,2013 | 02:54 AM
When are we as created human beings going to grasp the very simple statement that, "Evolution is a theory?" Regardless how much "good" research is done, [and I'm all for science] the FACT still remains, "Evolution is STILL a theory." And ire of it all is, that "Evolution is taught as a fact, when in reality---it is still a THEORY." In effect then, was this article written on the premise that "our" so-called ancestors came from amoebas, poly-wogs and eventually apes? I don't buy that "theory." Even King David knew he would see his deceased baby son again some day [as in the after-life of heaven 2 Samuel 12:18-23]. Therefore, it is quite plain that babies are innocent in their inf-antsy. Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, unless you [adults] change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" [Matthew 18:1-3]. Bottom line? Until a person humbly accepts that fact that he or she is created in God's image, you will never experience the unconditional love of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Admittedly, some answers may come by scientific research, but since science cannot explain everything---this is where faith comes in. And it does not take a rocket scientist to know that.
Posted by Randall on January 4,2013 | 07:37 PM
My 16 month old girl approached my bed and saw her new baby sister nursing. She immediately frowned, pushed the baby's face away from the breast and stated strongly, "It bites!" What would the author say about this interaction?

Prejudice is looking at a person and deciding if they are a good person by their looks, not by how they act, or feel. I think that prejudice leads to many bullying coincidences. I hate bullying, it is not good, and I wish it did not exist in the world. Prejudice also leads to loneliness. I do not like being lonely. It makes me feel sad inside. I do not like prejudice. It leads to bad things. Here is a lesson I think everyone should learn: Don't judge a book by its cover. It will lead to some sad things.

COLORADO SPRINGS -- The 2013 Warrior Games will bring over 260 athletes from all military services to compete in various track and field events. For the second year the United Kingdom will participate alongside American athletes.
The Warrior Transition Command put on the event each year. They say that the results of the Games help wounded warriors overcome challenges associated with their physical injuries or illness.
JR Salzma is actually a bit of a ringer for team Army.
"I'm an 8 time champion log roller," said Salzma. "When ESPN the 'Great Outdoor Games' I won 14 medals in 5 years. I'm the 2005 ESPY Award winner for best outdoor athlete. So I've always been a bit of an athlete, I guess you could say."
There might not be log-rolling at the Air Force Academy next week, but these games serve as a public, positive reminder about the importance of adaptive sports and reconditioning programs for wounded warriors.
"We're fortunate to have a second chance to be active and to live a semi-normal existence and to be out here competing," said Salzma. "But regardless we wanna bring home the title for Team Army."
Carlton Duncan will compete in multiple track and field events this year. He and JR admit that there's an interesting dynamic between competition and comradery.
"You wanna come out here and win,," said Duncan. "But I'm more excited just to see all the guys that have more extensive injuries than mine and recovering."
"We're out here to beat Marines, Air Force, all the other branches," said Salzma. "But at the same time when you look at it big picture I think we're all winners in that, one we've survived."
And Warrior Games competitor Elizabeth Wasil says while the athletes might leave with the awards, there's a message for the audience to go home with as well.
"That though we're injured we're not broken," she said. "We're not done. This is just a way for us to show what we can do. And to be on a team again."

Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley has intimate knowledge of the Seattle way of business but that likely won't help when the lowly Jaguars visit the powerful Seahawks on Sunday. Bradley served as Seattle's defensive coordinator the previous four seasons and built the stingy unit before becoming Jacksonville's coach following last season. The Seahawks have allowed a league-low 10 points while Jaguars are last in the NFL in scoring with 11 points.Seattle is vying for its first 3-0 start since 2006 and remains loaded with confidence after routing defending NFC champion San Francisco 29-3 last Sunday. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was named NFL Defensive Player of the Week for his performance, which included an interception. Jacksonville stayed on the West Coast after losing to the Oakland Raiders last Sunday and will be without quarterback Blaine Gabbert (hand) for the second straight game. The Jaguars are last in total offense (213 yards per game) and the Seahawks rank first in total defense (230).TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Seahawks -19. O/U: 40.5.ABOUT THE JAGUARS (0-2): Chad Henne will again start at quarterback and has yet to be intercepted while completing 63.6 percent of his passes. Running back Maurice Jones-Drew (72 yards, 2.9 average) injured his left foot in the loss to Oakland and is questionable, which means Jordan Todman (nine yards on six carries) is in line for more playing time. Middle linebacker Paul Posluszny has a team-high 19 tackles for a defense allowing 316 yards per game. However, the unit has forced only one turnover and recorded just four sacks. ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (2-0): Seattle has a league-best seven takeaways (four fumbles, three interceptions) and is allowing a league-low 113 passing yards per game. Sherman has seven interceptions in his last seven home games and the pass defense figures to get even better if starting cornerback Brandon Browner (hamstring) is available for the first time this season. Quarterback Russell Wilson (462 yards, two touchdowns) is off to a pedestrian start and running back Marshawn Lynch (141 rushing yards) is averaging just 3.1 yards per carry. Standout offensive tackle Russell Okung will miss the game after suffering a toe injury against the 49ers.EXTRA POINTS1. Seattle leads the series 4-2 and routed the visiting Jaguars 41-0 in 2009 in the most recent meeting.2. Jacksonville allowed 11 sacks and committed 15 penalties in losses to Kansas City and Oakland.3. The Seahawks are looking for their 10th consecutive home victory while the Jaguars are hoping to avoid their eighth straight road loss.PREDICTION: Seahawks 45, Jaguars 9

Report: 'Disruptive innovation' key to doing more for less
Doing "more with less," is a catchphrase that has spread throughout the federal government, as agency budgets constrict. But critics contend that's all it is a catchy slogan that has no basis in reality. Bill Eggers, global director of Deloitte Research's public-sector division, said it's possible to do more for less, but it requires new innovative ways of doing business not just budget cutting.

Really? People still watch this nuttery?
Another season of 'Keep Up with the Kardashians' is upon us. You know what that means? It means we will be forced to see the Kardashians all over D-List TV shows trying to promote their own importance.
Nonetheless, leave it to good ole' Kim to start the pimping bandwagon via her own website. After viewing the new E! promo pick for the show, here's what Kimmy-poo had to say:
Via PopEater:
"I'm loving the promo poster for season 4 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians!! So sexy and glam! I can't wait for the new season to start… I know you guys are going to love it!"
The pic features Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe in lingerie. Yes, the VERY pregnant Kourtney in a teddy. Because that screams sexy and glam. (I am sorry, but the idea of babies and seduction don't go together. No baby wants a mushroom bruise.) Kim then goes on to comment on a spread she, her sisters, and her mother, Kris Jenner, did for People Magazine. The article, which shows the women supposedly topless in a pool, supposedly focuses on beauty tricks mom Kris taught her daughters.
"My mom is my ultimate style and beauty icon! She has taught Kourt, Khloe and I so much over the years and we sat down with People Magazine to talk about all the beauty tips and tricks my mom has passed on to us! I love this photo of us!!"
It looks more like Mom taught you how to pose topless in good lighting.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Wednesday practice report: Starks, Bush, Brad Jones practicing
Green Bay - The Packers are getting a little bit healthier.
Returning to practice were RB James Starks, LB Brad Jones and CB Jarrett Bush.
Starks made his first practice appearance since injuring his knee in Week 3 at Cincinnati. Jones made his first practice appearance since injurying his hamstring Week 5 against Detroit. Bush (hamstring) suited up, but did not play against Cleveland Sunday.
Out for the Packers are: WR James Jones (knee), TE Jermichael Finley (neck), LB Clay Matthews (thumb), TE Ryan Taylor (knee) and LB Nick Perry (foot).
Only Jones has a chance of playing this week and we won't know exactly the plan for him until coach Mike McCarthy speaks after practice.
Matthews attended practice and appeared to have his arm in a sling underneath is sweats. Either that or he was just holding the hand under his sweatshirt.
The Packers did not begin practicing DE Jerel Worthy (knee) or S Sean Richardson (neck), both of whom are on the physically unable to perform list. The two would have to start practicing next week if they were to get in the full three weeks of practice a PUP player is allowed.
The wind was brisk and the temperature very cold as the team practiced outdoors.

What's the story with Casey Hayward?
After a successful rookie campaign, it appears as if Casey Heyward spent the offseason growing "girl parts". Have to watch out for people with gender ambiguous first names. . . .kinda like "Pat" in the old SNL skits.
Hayward played against the Seahawks in the game 3 "prep" game and re-injured himself (hammy).
Like other players (Roddy White, who doesn't have "girl parts" as one example) he probably came back too soon, or tried to play through an injury and it ended up hurting his recovery.
It doesn't mean he's weak...it means he's injured and they have better options at this time.
Mike Neal was hurt for awhile, and is hurt again. When he's not hurt...he's very good. He played quite a few snaps on Sunday while injured, gutting out a game for his team/Org/fans...and most of all, himself. -
In his early years at HC, McCarthy used to preach that the most important ability is availability. Somehow, the Packers have gotten away from this with guys like Starks, Neal and I am concerned that Heyward is in the same boat. The guy is off for 7 months, comes to camp injured, sits for 5 weeks, plays a little in one game, sits for 9 weeks - that doesn't really cut it. The limits of a 53 man roster force a lot of decisions on game day, but allow for specialization, etc. Taking that 53 down to 50 severely limits things. The Packers escaped this Sunday against an awful QB, and may do so again against Christian Ponder. But, its not the greatest way to run a team. I think Heyward is acting like a prima donna.
They are deep in the secondary...why rush him back?
He practiced today, maybe he's good to go.
Not sure what your point is...the GM/HC seem to be running the team just fine. They will have a full 53 quickly when a few of these guys are ready to go.
Don't forget, Sherrod, Worthy, Richardson, and another dude are eligible to come back over the next few weeks, too. -
Harrison Smith, who many "fans" griped about GB not drafting last yr had a heck of a rooke campaign (like Hayward). He's now on IR.
Should the Vikes get rid of him? He has an owie toe (aka, turf toe).
Hard to run with 10 yr olds with turf toe, or a hammy that ain't quite right, let alone Mega, Marshall, and Jordy. -
Some of these guys need to go on IR - you can't play short handed for half the season. Taylor is another good example - how many NFL teams save a roster spot for a 4th TE/special teamer? Bush is in the same boat.
Its been ok so far, but at some point, this will catch up to them. -
Richardson was cleared today. He's a full go for practice.
Sherrod and Worthy are practicing.
Hayward practiced today.
Others will return.
For all we know, Ryan Taylor's knee op is like Jordy's, a quick clean up job. He's one of the top three sp teams players on the team, he's not some useless backup TE. He blocked the punt agains the Lions.
They were missing some players last week, maybe this week.
I really don't see your point. You don't just IR guys for the heck of it. They cannot return if you do. Some of these guys will play after a few weeks of rehab. It's the nature of a violent game. Just ask the Bears, they are missing their QB and a myriad of defenders. -
if they can keep winning and still get the obviously superior players back for the stretch run, why would they IR them?
these are guys that can help the packers win in december thru february much more than some street guys can help them win now.
if they need a roster spot, they'll make one.
Hey Tom...It's not quite Thursday yet.
Tom can see the future.
Tom = "The Milwaukee Medium"
the earth actually orbits around tom.
It's Wednesday right?
I have no ability to look into the future, but I do have ability to make a bonehead mistake.
Tom...ya had me questioning my Outlook calendar (in a good way).
I am VERY disappointed.
Darn, Friday is now another day away.
Nevermind us nitpickers, Tom. You just keep up the good work, and thanks for tolerating the insanity on the Sunday live blogs......LOL
Per Sirius NFL:
Josh Freeman has a concussion, Ponder is practicing and may be the starter.
Convenient way to slide ol' Josh to the bench.-
Frazier should probably just let Peterson take all the snaps directly and keep all 4 QBs on the bench. Could he do any worse?
With the Pack's injuries, how about sign Tony Scheffler, the excellent TE just released by the Lions-since, per another report here-it does not sound the best for Finley for this year-or is that just speculation by the Chicago area Doctor?
If he's excellent...then why did the LIONS release him?
Sheff had a concussion the GB game.
Draft (Taylor, Quarless)...develop (Bostick, Stoneburner). It works. -
Perhaps excellent is the new below average or mediocre.
He has done nothing the past two seasons...except experience three concussions.
An undrafted player (Fauria) emerged as the Lions more excellent tight end.
Did Casey Hayward practice?
Per Wes at GBPG: full practice for Hayward.

I recently upgraded to PSE10 and imported my catalog from a different machine (which had been running XP). Unfortunately, I ended up with a bunch of duplicate entries in the catalog, one with the path c:\users\... the other with c:\my documents\... These paths both point to the same image on the hard drive.
When I try to Search for Duplicate Photos (from Find>By Visual Searches), PSE invariably crashes. I am running PSE10 under Windows 7 (full system info at the end of this message).
Any idea why this might be happening, and is there a different way I can remove the duplicate entries in the catalog?

The import process was a bit of a mess, so is difficult to explain. The bulk of it was copying data over (pictures, catalog, etc.), and then reconnecting. Then lots of manual futzing around with backups and copying folders and other stuff that is probably irrelevant. I think that most of the photos in question were the result of the copying and reconnection process.
I did not do a backup/restore because I was moving the catalog as the result of system failure on the original machine.
Ok, done. No errors were found during the Repair process (did not elect to "repair anyway"). Then ran Optimize without incident. So the catalog looks like it does not contain any errors, which is consistent with everything else I can see. Unfortunately, despite this, the Search for Duplicate Photos function still crashes.
Also, just as a clarification, when I do a Reconnect, there is only one picture PSE cannot locate, and that one is also missing from my backup drive. PSE can display and manipulate them fine. It appears that the problem is isolated to find duplicates function.
They are all in c:\users\...\pictures, though some of the duplicate items in the catalog still refer to c:\my documents\... My machine contains a shortcut that allows both paths to refer to the same file (I am not sure if all Win 7 machines have this shortcut, or just mine). PSE can read and manipulate files using either path.
I would normally recommend you use Backup & Restore from your old catalog. But as you have already added images from independent sources, I would personally suggest you start over. 1. Select the first thumbnail in Organizer thumbnail view and press Ctrl+A to select them all, then hit the delete button. Make sure you don't choose Also Delete From Hard Drive" 2. Get all your folders into the Pictures directory and get rid of the shortcut. 3. In the empty catalog click File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders 4. Navigate to Pictures and ensure the check box to include all sub-folders is maked. Then click Open or Get Media. 5. Wait whilst elements generates thumbnails and accept all keyword suggestions.
That would ease the pain a little. To add a bit more info, I have since discovered that all of the functions under Find>By Visual Searches cause a crash, despite there being little obvious similarity between finding an object in a photo and finding a duplicate photo (which is not an inherently visual process). Also, as a test, I tried removing the shortcut to the My Documents folder (thus "losing" all the photos that have that as part of their path), and the crashes still occur. That would suggest the problem is not with my folder structure, but something more fundamental that PSE is choking on.

The Visual Similarity data is in the "WaldoData" subdirectory of your catalog directory.
If I understand well, what you are calling 'duplicates' are duplicate entries in the catalog, the same media being called either by its original path+filename or shortcut path+filename.
The organizer will try open two different files to compare them, but when trying to open the second 'shortcut', the file will be already blocked (in use). That could explain the failure of the comparison for similarity.
Try creating a new catalog with similar images, for instance jpegs and png copies. Does the visual search work ?
About backup and restore : If my supposition is right, that should work if you try to restore to a new custom location with keeping the file structure : the backup should create real file duplicates on different paths. If it works, finding visual duplicate should work, although this process may take a very long time.

We happened to come across this place while driving around the island. WOW! The view was incredible, surroundings and restaurant so beautiful, the perfect lunch place.
I had the seared tuna with tapenade and sautéed potatoes. Absolutely delicious. I could very easily spend the whole day sitting there looking out onto the bay. Recommended!
