Those who go on to become professional psychologists work in a variety of settings. A recent survey gave the following proportions for major career tracks of psychologists: The mental health field, including private practice, hospitals, clinics, counseling centers, and guidance centers account for 44 percent. Twenty-nine percent are involved in teaching and research at the college level, while 15 percent are involved in elementary and high schools. Thirteen percent work in business or government.
The website -- PsychologyDegree.net is a general information website that, over the years, has developed into a comprehensive guide on studying psychology through the medium of online education. It aims to add insight to potential students on the many disciplines of psychology.
Developmental psychologists study patterns of change from infancy through old age, including physical, cognitive, social, and moral development. Clinical psychologists generally focus on abnormal behavior in an effort to understand, diagnose, and change such behavior. Counseling psychologists also treat abnormal behavior but usually focus on normal problems of living (e.g., marriage and educational counseling). Industrial psychologists usually work for a business enterprise applying psychological knowledge to such areas as personnel policies, working conditions, production efficiency, and decision-making.
Experimental psychologists use scientific methods to carry out experiments designed to develop a basic understanding of such processes as learning, memory, motivation, sensation, and perception in human beings and lower animals. Physiological and comparative psychologists study the contributions of biological factors - such as heredity, the sensory and nervous system, drugs, and species differences - to various kinds of behavior. Social psychologists use a variety of scientific methods to study the behavior of people in social situations, from couples and small groups to crowds. The emerging field of health psychology uses psychological principles in health maintenance.
If you're interested in becoming a psychologist, you will need to earn your Psy.D. or Ph.D. in psychology after earning your BA or BS in psychology (some Psy.D. or Ph.D. programs also require a Master's Degree in Psychology). If you're interested in exploring psychology graduate study further, visit apa.org/about/division/index.aspx.
This list provides a good overview, but keep in mind that the field is constantly growing as new research is completed and as new ways to apply psychological knowledge are discovered.

Advantages of a B.A or B.S. in Psychology from St. Scholastica
Like medicine, law, and most sciences, professional employment as a psychologist requires graduate study. There are, however, a variety of jobs the psychology major may pursue without graduate study. We provide a broad-based program that prepares psychology majors for advanced study toward higher degrees in psychology and curriculum fosters learning in several areas targeted by liberal arts and career education: how to learn, how to obtain and/or evaluate different kinds of information, how to think critically, how to solve problems systematically, and how to write effectively.
In addition, our courses provide an excellent educational background for a variety of career choices. By combining the psychology major with another field of study, for example, the student may increase employment possibilities and be better prepared to undertake graduate study in other fields. Secondary education, management, and English are common double majors with psychology. A minor in psychology can strengthen the background of students majoring in other fields
Learning is encouraged through three components of what the Psychology Department calls the "coherent curriculum": (a) Course Requirements and Options: Our required courses are structured and sequenced to allow for gradual increases in understanding rather than giant steps that can leave students feeling lost, and our optional courses allow students to emphasize their own interests within the major; (b) Cocurricular Activities: Our formal courses are supplemented by activities designed to allow the student foster relationships with peers and faculty in psychology and to meet and learn from those in the community in psychology-related careers; and (c) Career Development Assistance: Our faculty provide assistance in helping students determine what they would like to do when they graduate and what experiences they will need to pursue those career goals. See the "Psychology Major/Minor" for further details of the three components of the "Coherent Curriculum".
Special Features of Our Program
1. Coherence of the major:
The three components of the major - courses, cocurricular activities, and career development - are structured to allow for a student experience that is well-rounded. The course sequence allows for gradual mastery of material, cocurricular activities encourage socializing with professionals and students in the field, and career development activities foster preparation for the future.
2. Strong emphasis on life span developmental psychology:
Helping professions, such as counseling, nursing, social work, and physical therapy, rely on knowledge of normal development and behavior emphasized in our program--to identify dysfunction, restore normal functioning, or help with chronic problems.
3. Small class size:
The largest psychology classes have approximately 40-60 students, but most have far fewer, and some have as few as ten.
4. Opportunity to focus on individual interests:
For example, while those interested in pursuing careers in human services may choose the Human Services Concentration within the psychology major, those wanting to work with older individuals may opt for the Gerontology Certificate program or Gerontology Minor. Those who wish to pursue graduate work are supported in activities that enhance graduate school applications.
5. Strong emphasis on research and evaluation:
Wherever you work, you are likely to be asked to make decisions based on research. For example, you might be asked to determine whether a program should be continued based on research on its effectiveness. Our program provides the basic skills you will need to read the research of others and do your own research.
6. Opportunities to receive mentoring:
Faculty with background in both research and applied fields are available to work closely with students in progressing through the major. Mentoring can be received in the form of paid and volunteer research and teaching assistantships, research groups, independent studies, and formal and informal career advising.

apple, you only need NFS if the location of your executables is on a shared disk. Chances are you are having an environment problem. Try this command: rsh nodename 'env | grep PATH' verify that this gives you the correct path to your executables. If not, modify your global Profile file in /etc (2 notes: assumes you're using rsh; this solution can be a security hole if it's on your master) Paul On Thu, 20 Jul 2000, Jearanai Vongsaard wrote: > Can I install mpich on my machines without NFS?

Department of Energy:
Observations on Actions to Implement the New Loan Guarantee Program for Innovative Technologies
GAO-07-798T, Apr 24, 2007
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7029
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 05) authorized the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a loan guarantee program (LGP) for projects intended to, decrease air pollutants or man-made greenhouse gases, employ new or significantly better technologies, and have a reasonable prospect of repayment. The Federal Credit Reform Act requires appropriated budget authority for LGP costs before loans can be made. In 2006, DOE solicited preapplications to the LGP, stating it intended to issue up to $2 billion in guarantees. It also issued guidelines for these proposals, stating that borrowers would ultimately pay for all costs, but funding was authorized. This testimony is based on GAO's February 2007 report (Department of Energy: Key Steps Needed to Help Ensure the Success of the New Loan Guarantee Program, GAO-07-339R) and its April 20, 2007 legal opinion (B-308715). GAO discusses the sources and use of funds for the LGP in fiscal years 2006 and 2007; DOE's authority to implement the LGP and to fund the program before Congress had appropriated funding; extent to which the LGP could result in a financial risk to the taxpayer; and steps DOE has taken to ensure that the LGP will be well managed.
In fiscal year 2006, and continuing through October 2006, DOE used about $503,000 from three separate appropriation accounts to fund LGP activities. DOE used these funds for the salaries of three staff detailed to the LGP office and for contracts to support the program. DOE stopped most LGP development activities at the end of October, but according to the deputy general counsel for energy policy, he and others continued to work on the program by, for example, preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking and reviewing pre-applications for completeness. At the time of GAO's review, DOE officials said they were awaiting appropriations before taking additional implementation steps. DOE should not have begun implementation of the LGP without a specific appropriation. Nevertheless, DOE did begin implementation, and its approach to the LGP raised serious questions about whether this program and its financial risks would be well managed. LGP guidelines call for borrowers to be charged fees to cover all program costs, but the program could result in substantial financial costs to the taxpayer if DOE underestimates administrative costs, such as evaluating applications. While DOE must recover these costs, it had not developed a plan to determine how it would do so at the time of GAO's review. Appropriated funds may be necessary to cover shortfalls. The other type of program cost is the subsidy cost: the estimated net present value of the long-term cost to the federal government of guaranteeing the loans over the entire period that the loans are outstanding, excluding administrative costs. DOE will have to estimate this cost to determine the fees charged borrowers, but it had no policies or procedures for doing so. Estimating this cost could be difficult because the program targets innovative energy technologies, and loan performance could depend heavily on future economic conditions, including energy prices, which are hard to predict accurately. Under federal law, shortfalls in subsidy costs are funded by a permanent indefinite appropriation, not through the annual appropriations process. GAO recommended key steps that DOE did not take but that would help ensure that the program is well managed. The Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution for Fiscal Year 2007 directed DOE to implement most of GAO's recommendations by issuing final regulations before awarding loan guarantees. These regulations are to include (1) programmatic, technical, and financial factors for selecting projects for loan guarantees; (2) policies and procedures for selecting and monitoring lenders and loan performance, and (3) any other policies or information necessary to implement the LGP. DOE was also instructed to complete these regulations within 6 months of the appropriations act.

How to monitor XProtect updates in OS X
Apple's XProtect system (aka File Quarantine) in OS X is a rudimentary anti-malware scanner that will perform a quick check on downloaded files to make sure they do not contain known malware, and will block any versions of Web plug-ins like Java and Flash that have known vulnerabilities.
XProtect runs in the background with no interaction with the user, which is convenient, but it does mean that when it gets updated, users may find themselves unexpectedly unable to access some Web content. Even though quickly updating plug-ins should get you around this inconvenience, it may be useful to know … Read more

The mother called the radio station wanting to talk about the fallout from Joel Ward's Game 7 overtime goal, how some vile bigots had used a social-media forum to express their hate that a very good hockey player from Canada, who happens to be black, had eliminated their beloved Bruins from the NHL playoffs.
Because we had moved on to a segment about Robert Griffin III, she never got on the air. But I was curious about her take. During a break at the 106.7 The Fan studios in Lanham, I picked up Line 3.

Old Trafford
Send to a friendStadium of Manchester United F.C.
When the club was first founded, Newton Heath played their home games on a small field on North Road in Newton Heath. However, visiting teams often complained about the state of the pitch, which was "a bog at one end and rocky as a quarry at the other". The changing rooms were also nothing to be proud of, being located ten minutes walk away at the Three Crowns pub on Oldham Road. They were later moved to the Shears Hotel, another pub on Oldham Road, but a change was needed if the club was to continue in the Football League.
The Heathens remained at their North Road ground for fifteen years from 1878 to 1893, a year after entering the Football League, before moving to a new home at Bank Street in nearby Clayton. The new ground was not much better, only a few tufts of grass sticking up through the sandy surface, and clouds of smoke coming down from the factory next door. On one occasion, the Walsall Town Swifts even refused to play, the conditions were so bad. A layer of sand was put down by the groundsman and the visitors were finally persuaded to play, eventually losing 14–0. They protested against the result, citing the poor conditions as the reason for their loss and the match was replayed. The conditions were not much better the second time around, and the Walsall team lost again, although this time they only lost 9–0.
In 1902, the club went close to bankruptcy and the Bank Street ground was closed by bailiffs due to its insolvency. The club was saved at the last minute by captain Harry Stafford, who managed to scrape together enough money to pay for the club's next away game at Bristol City and found a temporary ground at neighbouring Harpurhey for the next home game against Blackpool.
Following investment to get the club back on an even keel, they renamed as Manchester United F.C., though still with a desire for a passable ground. Six weeks before United's first FA Cup title in April 1909, Old Trafford was named as the home of Manchester United, following the purchase of the necessary land for around £60,000. Architect Archibald Leitch was hired by United chairman John Henry Davies, and given a budget of £30,000 for construction. Original plans indicated that the stadium would hold around 100,000, though this was scaled back to 77,000. Despite this, a record attendance of 76,962 was recorded, which is more than even the current stadium officially supports. Construction was carried out by Messrs Brameld and Smith of Manchester. At the opening of the stadium, standing tickets cost sixpence, while the most expensive seats in the grandstand would have set you back five shillings. The inaugural game was played on 19 February 1910 against Liverpool F.C., and resulted in a 4–3 win for the visitors. As it happened, the change of ground could not have come soon enough – only a few days after the club played their last game at Bank Street, one of the stands was blown down in a storm.
Bombing during the Second World War, on 11 March 1941, destroyed much of the stadium, notably the main stand. The central tunnel in the South Stand was all that remained of that quarter of the ground. After the war, United filed a report with the War Damage Commission and received compensation to the value of £22,278 for the reconstruction of the ground. Though the ground was rebuilt in 1949, it meant that a game had not been played at Old Trafford for nearly 10 years as the team played all their "home" games in that period at Manchester City's ground, Maine Road. Manchester City charged United £5,000 per year for the use of their stadium, plus a nominal percentage of the gate receipts.
Subsequent improvements occurred, beginning with the addition of a roof first to the Stretford End and then to the North and East Stands. However, the old-fashioned roof supports obscured the view of many fans, resulting in the upgrading of the roofs to incorporate the cantilevering still seen on the stadium today. The Stretford End was the last stand to receive the upgrade to the cantilevered roof, the work being completed in time for the start of the 1993–94 season.
Floodlights were first installed at the ground in the mid-1950s. Four 180-foot (55 m)-tall pylons were erected, each housing 54 individual floodlights. The whole lighting system cost the club £40,000, and was first used for a match on 25 March 1957. However, the old style floodlights were dismantled in 1987, to be replaced by a new lighting system embedded in the roof of each of the stands, which has survived to this day.
In 1990, following the Hillsborough Disaster, a report was issued which demanded all stadia be converted to all-seaters, leading to subsequent renovation, which dropped capacity to around 44,000. However, the club's popularity ensured that further development would occur. In 1995, the North Stand was redeveloped into three tiers, bringing the capacity up to approximately 55,000. This was followed by expansions of first the East and then West Stands to reach a total capacity of 68,000. The most recent expansion was completed in 2006, when the North-East and North-West Quadrants were opened, allowing the current record of 76,098, only 104 short of the stadium's maximum capacity.
It has been estimated that for any further development to be attempted on the stadium, specifically the South Stand which is still only one tier high, development costs would almost equal the £114 million already spent on the stadium in the last fourteen years. This is due to the fact that up to fifty houses would have to be bought out by the club, which would cause a lot of disruption to local residents, and any extension would have to be built over the top of the railway line that runs adjacent to the stadium. Ideally, the expansion would include bringing the South Stand up to at least two tiers and filling in the South-West and South-East quadrants to restore the "bowl" effect of the stadium. Present estimates put the projected capacity of the completed stadium at approximately 96,000, more than the new Wembley Stadium.

Great transition.
Well despite -- successful iPhone 5 and I've had many launches shares of apple.
You know the story everybody they've -- about twenty per -- Off their all time highs and dipped into bear market territory what is behind the tech giants fall and is now the time.
To buy the stock joining me now morning.
Equity analyst.
-- -- Let's talk about this yet you got a stock that at one point we were saying was gonna not we but analysts were saying it's going to be 700011100.
Happened here.
Well I think there's three factors to look at the first is just pure profit taking even though the stock is down 20% -- -- it's still up 35% year to date.
So you might have money managers taking profits right now especially if you concerned about this -- fiscal cliff.
Especially if you could concerned about capital gains taxes things like that if portfolio managers wanna shed some of their holdings -- shed some of their largest holding.
Or their biggest winner and -- has -- both so we think that's part of it.
On top of that we're hearing more more concern Annapolis lost its touch.
The management shake up kind of adds fuel that fire apple -- has been a bit of an issue so we think there is an investor concern there.
And third in the reason why didn't pop back after earnings is gross margin guidance for the upcoming quarter.
I'm going to stop people want to piggyback fingerprints -- -- you mentioned what happened with the management shake up that happened in the middle of the hurricane I was kind of questionable timing.
But you know the head of the retail stores have been on the job seven months -- mean is this.
Is this the new reality for apple at these knee jerk reactions because -- -- investors get very nervous when he made that move -- to two people out of their jobs immediately.
Sure well I I think ultimately whether the management team whether that Jacob is successful or not it will come down of the products whether.
Apple need to continually improve upon its product the five -- the six IOS seven and if he's come out as great products that are innovative that have features that -- -- competition from android and Samsung and and others I think the shake up makes sense vice Versa if these products is still continue some may think they look stale if that's an issue.
-- then it probably was a wrong move but I think Apple's a story where the management shake -- I think you'll become pretty obvious.
Fairly quickly whether work -- -- not.
Well -- -- one of the things that happened with with regards to apple -- with Samsung came along and there's there was this lag between.
The iPhone four S and the actual iPhone 5 and it -- that that really hurt them Brian.
With consumers and many more went to the galaxy which is now for the first time.
Outselling them volume wise anyway -- so have you gotten a little bit nervous about about the Samsung -- Well I think sense of being a good job of taking advantage of that window in the -- -- in the spring -- three G device.
With a three and a half inch -- the same -- down PS3.
It's four point eight inches had four GL TE.
Now the iPhone 5 take care some of those problems at the four -- -- it's a little bit bigger screen.
I think to be really interesting to see -- Samsung does next to take care of the iPhone 5 because.
Four G network is here to -- there's no five -- so there's no chance to upgrade on that feature.
Four point eight.
-- screen it's going to be hard to make it a lot bigger without turning into a tablet so be very curious to see -- Samsung turns two next to improve the next.
Yeah but -- you see what's happening in -- you what's happening -- it got screens that are so similar in size the bigger screen on the Samsung and then along comes apple would be.
I've had many which you know its -- -- -- 329 or so which sums it was a little expense said.
And that it did and that this is something Steve Jobs never wanted to do he -- he did not want to do an iPad -- he did not want to cannibalize.
On the iPad itself I mean do you think that Steve Jobs as vision.
Is still happening at this company.
I think ultimately it's -- I think Tim Cook is a little more.
I would -- rational and -- of not he's not steadfast in his beliefs that perhaps Steve Jobs was a -- Steve Jobs always.
He didn't want him really distribute cash to shareholders they ended up paying -- dividend he talked a lot about not having the seven inch screen.
It can cook -- -- -- -- an opportunity for smaller -- and and going along with -- I think it is becoming his company which I think you know has to happen -- after.
Steve Jobs is unfortunate passing so I think I think you're seeing it the company sort of come under Tim Cook swing a little bit more.
Farley go over the weekend apple and HCC settled their losses what do you think happens to -- -- -- possibility that we -- -- the the HCC is going to be paying.
On the patents apple.
I think that's a likely scenario I you know -- Again the terms were not disclosed but the you hear about the initial -- that apple wanted to be enjoyed.
Phone makers to pay to -- for some of the patent for things like that apple does have innovation a lot of the software gestures.
And features and things like that I think it's likely that HTC is going to be paying apple that -- I don't know if it's a a large amount or small amount they're means we -- but I think it's TC will be paying apple something thing is apple is so big that it.
If -- won't move the needle on Apple's fair value.
Very much but certainly we -- happy with this sort of resolution to these factors the legal wranglings are expensive and and distracting and and so we like to see that kinda gets settled.
Right Frankel look thank you very much -- Morningstar -- -- gonna continue to follow the stock as we always do Brian thank you.

Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

Cows, fire, and fence~Friday's Fences~071913
I took this photo of the Mountain fire on Tuesday and by Thursday the road was closed. The cows weren't too concerned about the fire, which burned away from them and is now heading down into Palm Canyon and Andreas Canyon (the Palm Springs Indian canyons). We will all watch the weather today because a monsoon is moving toward the valley and our mountains and that means wind shifts. This fire is now over 22,000 and is the priority of the US Forest Service. The entire towns of Idyllwild and Fern Valley have been evacuated and are ghost towns. Friday's Fences for July 19, 2013. To visit Friday's Fences, please go to: http://lifeaccordingtojanandjer.blogspot.com/

I hope there is a place for the cows to go as they will panic and run from the fire. They can smell it better than we can.

One of the messages of Patti Digh's keynote talk at the TypeA Parent Conference in June was letting go of the need to be right. She told a personal story of how she was upset about something and her acupuncturist said to her:
What if you gave up the need to be right?
This message really stuck with me and I've been trying to notice how needing to be right impacts my life.
Judgment I strive to be nonjudgmental of other people, but needing to be right undermines that and results in judgment. Judgment separates us from others and makes us feel either better or worse about ourselves. I'm not perfect so the judgment creeps into my thoughts. However, it is much more productive to let go of the need to be right and share thoughts, opinions, and beliefs in an open forum without judging. Sometimes this is easier said than done, but worth the effort!
Disagreements At home, at work, and at play, there are conversations where I feel I am right and sometimes feeling right can lead to disagreements. As a parent there are things I want to teach my daughter about appropriate behavior, but there are other times where I don't need to be right. Such as wanting her to wear a certain outfit or pushing her to do something she isn't ready to do. I could avoid needless battles by not trying to control all her actions.
Dragging Out Conversations in my Head Maybe this just happens to me, but sometimes a negative encounter can replay in my head all day and really distract me from the present. Earlier today I felt someone was rude and condescending towards me (judgment alert) and instead of just letting it go I've replayed it in my head wondering:
Who do they think they are?
It isn't ok to treat people like that.
Why do they think they are better than me?
Now, I am considering how much more productive my mind could be if I wasn't spending all this time replaying this and just give up my need to be right and let that person be where they want to be. Maybe I misinterpreted their words and they were just having a bad day? Who knows? Not me.
So far, letting go of the need to be right, for me, leads to a more positive mindset, less judgment of others, time to focus on more important things, and fewer disagreements. Sounds good, now to expand this awareness to actually letting go of the being right.
I'd love to hear about what letting of the need to be right could do for you!
Live Well,

Air and Space Curator: The Wright Brothers Were Most Definitely the First in Flight
Last week, the British aviation publication Jane's All the World's Aircraft declared that the Wright brother's historic 1903 flight at Kitty Hawk was not the first to achieve sustained, heavier-than-air, controlled flight, but gave the title instead to aviator Gustave Whitehead of Bridgeport, Connecticut, who purportedly flew his craft two years early. The journal's editor cites the website of an Australian research John Brown and declares the case solved, writing: "The Wrights were right; but Whitehead was ahead."
The National Air and Space Museum, which has held the Wright Flyer in its collections since 1948, has been challenged over the decades by a number of Whitehead enthusiasts, but have found all claims wanting. Complicating the issue is a contract held by the Smithsonian Institution with the Estate of Orville Wright, which is often cited as "evidence" that the Smithsonian Institution is unable or unwilling to declare any other first in flight contender. The contract stipulates that the museum would lose custody of the Wright Flyer should it ever state that another aircraft was first in flight. Curator of aeronautics and Wright biographer Tom Crouch has long studied the Whitehead claims and today, finds no merit in this most recent argument. The language in the contract, Crouch points out, is related to another Wright competitor, the Aerodrome built by the Smithsonian's third secretary S.P.Langley (but that's another story.) Of the contract, Crouch writes: "I can only hope that, should persuasive evidence for a prior flight be presented, my colleagues and I would have the courage and the honesty to admit the new evidence and risk the loss of the Wright Flyer." Crouch has written the following to address the current claim.
John Brown, an Australian researcher living in Germany, has unveiled a website claiming that Gustave Whitehead (1874-1927), a native of Leutershausen, Bavaria, who immigrated to the United States, probably in 1894, made a sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine on August 14, 1901, two years before the Wright brothers. The standard arguments in favor of Whitehead's flight claims were first put forward in a book published in 1937, and have been restated many times. With a new wave of interest in the Whitehead claims, the time has come for a fresh look.
What are the claims?
On August 18, 1901, Richard Howell, a reporter for the Bridgeport [CT] Sunday Herald, published an account of the early morning flight of August 14, in which he claimed that Whitehead traveled half a mile through the air at a maximum altitude of 50 feet. Thanks to the rise of newswire services, the story was picked up by a large number of American newspapers and a handful of overseas publications. In two letters published in the April 1, 1902, issue of American Inventor, Whitehead himself claimed to have made two more flights on January 17, 1902, on the best of which he said that he flew seven miles over Long Island Sound. During the months that followed, additional widely circulated stories reported that Whitehead was organizing a company to build airplanes and that he intended to enter one of his machines in the aeronautical competition being planned for the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition to be held in St. Louis in 1904. While his company failed and he did not fly at the St. Louis Fair, Whitehead did build a number of flying machines for other enthusiasts, several of whom were on view at the Morris Park air meet in November 1908. None of the post-1902 Whitehead powered machines ever left the ground, although he did build aeronautical motors that powered aircraft designed and built by other fliers.
What is the evidence?
The original Bridgeport Sunday Herald story, supposedly an eyewitness account, sounds impressive. It is important to note, however, that the editor did not rush into print with a front page story. The article appeared on page five, four days after the event, in a feature story headlined with four witches steering their brooms through the word–flying. In the story Howell notes two witnesses other than himself, James Dickie and Andrew Cellic. When an interviewer returned to Bridgeport to research the claims in 1936, he could not find anyone who remembered Cellic. He did find Dickie, however. "I believe the entire story of the Herald was imaginary and grew out of the comments Whitehead discussing what he hoped to get from his plane," the supposed witness commented.
"I was not present and did not witness any airplane flight on August 14, 1901, I do not remember or recall ever hearing of a flight with this particular plane or any other that Whitehead ever built."
Between 1934 and 1974 researchers supporting Whitehead's claim interviewed 22 additional persons who said that they had seen him fly at one time or another during the period 1901 to 1902. In this day and age of DNA testing, we have learned that eyewitness testimony given just after an event occurred can be fatally flawed. The witnesses in the Whitehead case were being interviewed about an event that had occurred more than three decades before, by researchers who were anxious to prove that Whitehead had flown.
Many of the individuals who were most closely associated with Whitehead, or who were funding his efforts, doubted that he had flown. Stanley Yale Beach, the grandson of the editor of Scientific American and Whitehead's principle backer, was unequivocal on this issue.
"I do not believe that any of his machines ever left the ground. . .in spite of the assertions of many people who think they saw them fly. I think I was in a better position during the nine years that I was giving Whitehead money to develop his ideas, to know what his machines could do than persons who were employed by him for a short period of time or those who remained silent for thirty-five years about what would have been an historic achievement in aviation."
Aeronautical authorities certainly doubted the tale. Samuel Cabot, who had employed Whitehead in 1897, regarded him as "…a pure romancer and a supreme master of the gentle art of lying. " Cabot told Octave Chanute, a Chicago engineer then widely regarded as the world's authority on flying machine studies, that Whitehead was "completely unreliable." Hermann Moedebeck, a German military officer and aviation authority, wrote to Chanute in September 1901, remarking that he believed Whitehead's "experiences are Humbug."
Perhaps the strongest argument against the Whitehead claims is to be found in the fact that not one of the powered machines that he built after 1902 ever left the ground. Nor did any of those machines resemble the aircraft that he claimed to have flown between 1901 to 1902. Why did he not follow up his early success? Why did he depart from a basic design that he claimed had been successful? Are we to assume that he forgot the secret of flight?
Then there is the missing photo. In an article describing an indoor New York aeronautical show in 1906, Scientific American noted that: "A single blurred photograph of a large bird-like machine propelled by compressed air, and which was constructed by Whitehead in 1901, was the only other photograph beside Langley's machines of a motor-driven aeroplane in successful flight." Another contemporary news article also mentions a photo of a powered Whitehead machine in the air displayed in a shop window. No such photograph has ever been located, in spite of the best efforts of Whitehead supporters to turn one up over the years. I have always assumed that the photo in question was actually one of the well-known photos of un-powered Whitehead gliders in the air.
Researcher John Brown now claims that he has found that photo.
The National Air and Space Museums' William Hammer Collection contains a photo of the museum's Lilienthal glider hanging in the 1906 exhibition. A display of photos is visible on the far wall in the image of the glider. While the photos in the photo are indistinct and blurry, it has always been apparent that some of them look like well-known photos of Whitehead craft. Over 30 years ago, I had NASM photographers enlarge the images seen on the wall to the extent possible at that time. Indeed, some of the photos could be identified as known Whitehead images. We could not find an image that looked like a machine in flight, however.
John Brown has used modern techniques to search once again for that photo in the photo, and claims to have found it. Readers can view the result of his research on his website and make the determination for themselves. From my point of view, it does not look anything like a machine in flight, certainly nothing to compare with the brilliant clarity of the images of the 1903 Wright airplane in the air, images that are among the most famous aviation history photos ever taken.
Whatever the anonymous reporter who penned the paragraph on the Whitehead photo at the 1906 exhibit thought, there can be no doubt as to whom the editors of that journal credited with having made the first flight. In an editorial in the issue of December 15, 1906, at a time when the Wright brothers had yet to fly in public, and when their claims to have developed a practical powered airplane between 1903 and 1905 were widely doubted, Scientific American offered one of the first definitive statements recognizing the magnitude of their achievement.
"In all the history of invention there is probably no parallel to the unostentatious manner in which the Wright brothers of Dayton, Ohio, ushered into the world their epoch-making invention of the first successful aeroplane flying machine. . .Their success marked such an enormous stride forward in the art, was so completely unheralded, and was so brilliant that doubt as to the truth of the story was freely entertained. . . ."
Following a thorough study of the Wright claims, the editors of Scientific American ". . .completely set to rest all doubts as to what had been accomplished." Unlike the case of Gustave Whitehead, a careful investigation proved that Wilbur and Orville Wright had accomplished all that they claimed, and more.
Now, on the basis of biased information and unsupported assumptions offered in the new website, Paul Jackson, editor of Jane's All the World's Aircraft: Development & Production, has decided to support the claims of Gustave Whitehead to have flown before the Wright brothers. Like the editors of Scientific American, Mr. Jackson would have been well advised to take a look at the historical record of the case, and not make his decision based on a flawed website. When it comes to the case of Gustave Whitehead, the decision must remain: not proven.

Jane's was duped by Mr. Brown's website just as newspaper editors were in 1901 when they reprinted the original highly dubious article circulated by wire services. Mr. Brown's website completely fails to prove that Gustave Whitehead ever successfully flew any powered aircraft at any time. He has, however, demonstrated how easy it is to get silly and inaccurate claims widely disseminated by a gullible media.
Why wasn't the Brazilian born inventor-hero Alberto Santos Dumont mentioned in this article? Is this article some sort of joke?
The "Who Flew First" debate still creates sensational headlines and this latest Whitehead claim makes fascinating reading. It is good to read Tom Crouch's fresh look at the facts.
Having researched Octave Chanute for the past two decades I had much contact with the staff of the NASM, and Tom was always willing to share his unbiased knowledge or help me find an answer. As we all know, Chanute and his team developed the biplane glider that was flown successfully in 1896 and again in 1897. This 23-pound glider with its 16-foot wingspan was flown by experienced "pilots" as well as newcomers, but Chanute was not interested in applying an engine at that time. This glider became the starting point for many aeronautical pioneers, including the Wrights, and Chanute had always high regard for the brothers and firmly believed that they were the first to achieve sustained, controlled, powered flight.
Chanute's biography "Locomotive to Aeromotive" was published in 2011.
Thanks, Tom, for helping all of us!
