Where does dreaming fit into the information provided in "Quiet! Sleeping Brain at Work," by Robert Stickgold and Jeffrey M. Ellenbogen? Does dreaming interfere, improve or have no effect on sleep's enhancement of memory?
"old curmudgeon"
adapted from a comment at www.SciAmMind.com
ELLENBOGEN REPLIES: One proposed mechanism for how sleep leads to memory enhancement is that while we are asleep, the brain is busy replaying previously learned information—kind of like an actor rehearsing his lines. Is that a type of dream? Seen from this perspective, dreams do not influence the memory-enhancing effects of sleep, they are the memory-enhancing effect. But some researchers disagree. This debate will continue until we are able to experimentally manipulate the content of dreams and reliably (that is, objectively) record them during sleep. Stay tuned! For a great summary discussion of this topic, see the fourth edition of Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine, edited by Meir H. Kryger, Thomas Roth and William C. Dement (Elsevier, 2008).
Christian Fischer's statement in "Coaching the Gifted Child," favoring placement of highly gifted children with age peers, ignores a large body of research supporting acceleration. The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, in more than 30 years of research, has found that "acceleration has been shown to be an appropriate practice for meeting the needs of academically talented students; as a way to keep these students motivated and appropriately challenged. There is no evidence to support the notion of negative social and emotional consequences of acceleration for talented students as a whole."
Fischer also perpetuates the negative stereotype of highly gifted children as social misfits and indirectly condones the bullying of gifted children by using the example of a boy who is bullied because he bragged about being smart. In fact, highly gifted children are frequent targets of bullying simply because they are so smart. Recent research at Purdue University found that "by eighth grade, more than two thirds of gifted students have been victims" of bullying.
Social difficulties are not individual "shortcomings," as Fischer implies; they are a result of developmental asynchrony common to highly gifted children. These children need help to find friends who understand them and share common interests and who are not threatened by their intellect; these friends are not easy to find among age peers. The highly gifted child will typically have no intellectual peers and endure both boredom and bullying when kept at grade level. Highly gifted children who find older intellectual peers (or other highly gifted age peers) can experience increased self-esteem, not feeling "inferior in every other realm," as the article states.
"Miss Prism"
adapted from a comment at www.SciAmMind.com
In "The Secrets of Storytelling," Jeremy Hsu speaks of "the human predilection for storytelling." Although he mentions nonfiction, the weight of his article is on fiction. Hsu links the idea of story with "the safe, imaginary world," "fantasy," "folktales" and "narrative traditions"—these are descriptions of fiction. But the father who, putting his children to bed at the end of day, says to them, "Let me tell you the story of how I met your mother," is engaging in storytelling and captivating his listeners just as much—and maybe even more so—as is the father who says to his kids, "Once upon a time there was a prince who lived in a land of dragons." If we are going to study the fascinating world of stories, we must include in our discussion all acts of storytelling: fiction but also gossip, rumor, anecdotes, teaching stories, slice-of-life stories, personal histories, and so on. We must, uppermost, keep in mind that "story" refers to a certain mode of expression, not to a type of narrative.

Libraries offering 'always available' e-books
Henrico County Public Library recently added an additional way to check out e-books, known as "Freading." Freading, is a new service that provides "always available" eBooks through a lending system that uses weekly tokens. Freading has been made available to public libraries throughout the state through funding from the Library Service and Technology Act granted by the Institute of Museums and Library Service administered by the Library of Virginia. Freading offers over 20,000 titles that are always available for checkout with a Henrico County Public Library card. At the beginning of each week, library members receive five tokens that can be used for e-books, at a cost of one, two or four tokens per title. Loans are two weeks and can be renewed for an additional two weeks. Freading e-books are compatible with most mobile devices and e-readers, including Nooks, iPads, and Android devices.

Monday To Thursday From 11:30 AM To 09:45 PM Friday To Saturday From 11:30 AM To 10:45 PM Sunday From 11:30 AM To 09:45 PM
Neighborhoods: Central LA, Chinatown
Slippery shrimp and Szechuan is great! – Although Yang Chow's can be crowded and it appears some people have issues with the staff that has not been the case for us. The food has always been well prepared and HOT which is a must for me, I hate food that comes to the table lukewarm. In regards to other restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley that are better I would agree that you can probably find some that are excellent but that doesn't mean the food at YC's isn't good, it is very tasty!
Unique dining experience in Chinatown – Everyone from sports stars, city officials and Conan O'Brian have eaten at Yang Chow. The slippery shrimp is to die for.
MSG Hazard!!! – Beware! This place uses MSG on everything. If you're like me, it will ruin the rest of your evening like it did mine. Stay Away!!!
I planned my fiance's surprise birthday party (2/28/09) at Yang Chow. We expected 45 guests to attend. Reservations were for 8pm. If not enough guests showed up to fill 4 tables at 8pm, they were going to take the tables away after 8:15.
At 8pm none of our 4 tables were ready. At 8:30 one table was ready. When asked what they planned to do about our hungry unseated guests, they said very rudely they had no control over the other party who was occupying our space. All we could do was wait until they were done. Despite the fact I had called two weeks in advance to create a pre-set menu and reserve the space, our tables had not been reserved.
Finally, at 9pm we had three tables. The fourth table meant for the rest of our guests was in the other room. Instead of 45 guests, we now had 35 because the rest were not able to wait.
To be compensated for our time and incovenience we asked for a discount on our meal. They only agreed to a 20% discount after we told them we were going to leave to another restaurant (at this point the lady manager told her supervisor in Cantonese--not realizing my mom understands and speaks Cantonese fluently-- that if we wanted to leave then we should leave). The supervisor asked us to stay, however, did not apologize for the poor service nor attitude of his manager.
During the meal we had to ask multiple times for ice and our water was never re-filled.
After when it was time to pay for the meal, the discount was not given to us. We had to ask them to take 20% off as agreed. Finally they printed a new receipt with the discount
While the food was good, the HORRIBLE SERVICE left a bitter taste in our mouths.
Great food and ambiance - well worth the trip to C-Town – My friend and I came here for the first time and everything was WONDERFUL!!! I called four hours ahead ot make reservations, and sooooo happy I did. When we got there at 7, there was a line to the door and we were seated immediately. There was already water and tea set out which was nice. We had Moo Shoo Chicken and the Slippery Shrimp, BOTH WERE SOOOO GOOD!!! One small quip I have is that they should include rice with the dishes and not have it extra. But for $18 each (including tip) we left very happy and at 8 pm there was a line forming ot the door. It is worth the trip from Beverly Hills to Chinatown anytime!
Sometimes I Crave Slippery Shrimp... – I've been to Yang Chow about 7 times now and I always get the slippery shrimp. I've had bites of other peoples food, and I never really like it (hence the 4 stars, not 5) but the shrimp is so good, that it's worth it just for that dish! I hate to be cliche (everyone loves it) but it really is the best.
Not what I expected! – Canned mushrooms in the wonton soup! YUCK. Cups had bleach smelling residue. Noodles were flooded in sauce, cooks were yelling in the kitching the whole time.
Sooooo tasty – We ordered family style for a group of six and every single dish was excellent. We had the slippery shrimp (everybody's favorite), the dry sauteed string beans, beef with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, house special chicken and the combination fried rice. The dishes did not arrive all at the same time, but since we were all sharing, this was no problem. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place.
Great dumplings! – We went here on a Saturday night around 8:45pm and were seated without a wait. We ordered the pan fried pork dumplings (Americanized and delicious!), the slippery shrimp (crispy, battered shrimp in a citrus sauce, also amazing!), the House Special Chicken (chicken with wild mushrooms and carrots, this was okay, kind of bland for my taste but the chicken was good quality), and the Chicken Lo Mein (relatively bland and the chicken seemed a little sketchy).
The atmosphere was nice and we were able to eat an appetizer and 2 main dishes for about $40.
It was a little hard to get the waiters attention for more water (bigger water glasses would be great) but other than that the staff seemed very friendly. The food arrived quickly and was hot. Tea was on the table within a minute of arriving.
I will definitely eat here again and I recommend it to any mid-westerners looking for some Chinese food like they have back there.
Amazing Chinese Food! – The food here is great, in particular the slippery shrimp! Definitely order family style. The soups for 2 really serve at least 4 and all of the dishes are considerable portions. Service isn't always that great, but the food makes up for it. Making a reservation is recommended as sometimes there's up to an hour wait.

There was a lot of exploration but for the most part the floating point engines in SGI pipelines were not ieee. They were specialized to the GL and OpenGL code base not general purpose computation. In that time frame here was an SGI internal marketing T-shirt that Intel squashed.... The theme was "Attitude inside" inside a image invoking swoosh that the Intel marketing folk had issue with. The interesting point is that in that time frame the GFX engines did contain Intel processors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_i960 and also TI dsps and also SGI quad core processing elements.... The multi pipe and tiled array design was a study in both custom chip design and more importantly state of the shelf design. -- T o m M i t c h e l l s Got a great hat... now what.

Registration deadline is Feb. 13 to vote in City's Special Election
Feb. 8, 2012

Registration deadline is Feb. 13 to vote in City's Special Election
Voters must register by Monday, Feb. 13, to cast ballots in Scottsdale's March 13 Special Election.
Voters will consider a General Plan update, a franchise agreement and seven City Charter amendments in the election.
The General Plan update guides development and growth in the city for the next 10 to 20 years. Cities and towns are typically required to update their plans every 10 years.
The franchise agreement, if approved by voters, would allow Southwest Gas to continue using the City's rights of way for pipelines and equipment.
Seven charter amendments are carryovers from 2010 and did not make it on the 2010 ballot. The amendments would seek to change or clarify the charter, which is the document that defines the City's roles and powers.
Those wishing to register to vote in the election can contact the Maricopa County Elections Office at (602) 506-1511. View a sample ballot for Scottsdale's March 13 Special Election.

With a new crop of Music Theory students, as I began teaching this week, I generally try to give some indication of what music theory actually is. On Thursday, the first day of Theory I, my usual description expanded to include some philosophical ideas about music. One goal of the study of music theory should be for students to expand and solidify their personal philosophy of music. I gave as examples the following two ideas that have been kicking around this summer–one highly abstract and metaphysical, and one somewhat more moral in nature.
First, metaphysics. What is a musical composition? Where does the essence of a piece of music reside? For a listener in the 21st century, it may well seem that the actual music is contained in a recording, either in a physical medium or in the data that that medium contains. Most musicians, however, would disagree. For some, the written score would be the ultimate embodiment of a composition, but experience soon tells us that the score is no more a piece of music than a recipe is a meal. For other musicians, then, each and every performance is a separate and distinct musical item. This fails to explain how many separate renditions can be identified as the same piece of music. My experience as a composer is often akin to that of an author who feels the characters in her novel assuming their own destinies and "writing" the ending differently than the author initially imagined. It seems to me that my compositions, once begun with some initial inspiration, unfold in ways that surprise me. It makes little difference whether I begin with a detailed plan or not. Similarly, Michaelangelo claimed that his sculptures were already in the stone and he only had to chip away the excess.
To me, this suggests that before I even begin, the composition exists in the form of a Platonic ideal, independent of any work that I will do on it. It exists in an ideal form, and my training allows me to somehow reveal aspects of the ideal, although, because I am a finitely-abled human, I can't hope to conform to the ideal. My free will as a composer is still there–I can make decisions that impact the way that I will write down the composition, and I can even choose to stop in the middle and leave my work incomplete. The piece exists whether I compose it or not, just as it exists if I write it down but no one performs it.
A more practical problem plagues the full-time musician. Our work may be spiritually uplifting to ourselves and others, but there are problems that music will not solve. Music will not stop global warming or end drug abuse, nor will it cure AIDS or keep children safe from abusive adults. Is there not a moral imperative for intelligent, talented humans to attempt to make the world a better place, to try to solve problems of injustice? Of course, there is. About ten years ago, I attended the Ohio Music Education Association's annual conference in Columbus, Ohio, and on the last day, my father, who worked downtown, gave me a ride to and from the convention center. As I was waiting for him on High Street, I noticed that the banners for the next event at the convention center had already been put up. The group following the music teachers were reading-recovery specialists–people helping kids gain the skills they will need to survive rather than skills that will merely bring them a little pleasure and win the school a trophy or two. I had a blast of perspective that, I will admit, hurt a little bit. Knowing that there is such suffering in the world–and much worse–is it right that I have devoted my time and energy to music?
The result of these thoughts, for me, is yet another reason to be the best musician that I can. If I am to spend my life doing something other than solving problems that impact our entire species, then whatever I do–whatever we do–the least we can do is do it to the best of our abilities, treating it as if it were as important as the big problems. We may be wrong, but we must not be mediocre.

Pilgrims killed in stampede at Djingareyber Mosque in Timbuktu
During the evening of 25 February 2010, in Timbuktu (Mali), a stampede occurred amidst a crowd gathered outside Djingareyber Mosque. Among the crowd were local citizens and other pilgrims who had assembled there to pray on the occasion of the Mawlid festival, celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad.
This stampede caused 22 deaths and at least 45 persons were injured.
Timbuktu, a city in Mali in the middle of the Sahara Desert, was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1988 due to its history as an intellectual and spiritual capital and a centre for the propagation of Islam throughout Africa in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its three great mosques, Djingareyber, Sankore and Sidi Yahia, recall Timbuktu's golden age.
The World Heritage Centre expresses its heartfelt condolences for this tragic event to the families of the victims, to the city of Timbuktu, to the authorities of the Djingareyber Mosque and the community as a whole.

Common + Prince | Track reviews
Common dreams that he is hard. Prince awakens his dirty mind.
Published: December 7, 2011
In 1991, brainy rap act Black Sheep mocked the gangsta posturing of its peers on "U Mean I'm Not." Dres, "dreaming he was hard," wakes up, discovers someone used his toothbrush and kicks his mom in the skull for improperly cooking his egg yolks. It's funny, really. Common, unfortunately, is not kidding on "Sweet," wherein he barks at a "sweet ass bitch muthafucka" MC (soo, Drake?) who croons "like muthafucking Frank Sinatra." Oh, snap! Did your personal assistant write that? Did you think that up in the makeup chair on your basic-cable Western? We kid, Common. I think it was when you were modeling for the Gap that you said to just be yourself. And you're not hard—even if this concrete No I.D. beat is. That's what we like about you. A line at the end here disses "Broads be saying you're sweet." We mistook it for "Cosby's saying you're sweet." Now there's an insult. We know from his soulful pop that deep down Common's mushier than pudding.

One of the things that continually astounds me about being disabled is just how incredibly expensive it is. Almost no matter what area of life you look at, it costs more to be disabled. While it doesn't surprise me, it also infuriates me how little recognition there is of that fact. There is virtually no recognition that as a young disabled person, my cost of living is exponentially higher than a non-disabled person's.
Despite the fact that I have multiple disabilities, so my case may be different from others, I'm going to use it anyway, because many people with disabilities have multiple disabilities.
First case in point is medication. If you are healthy, your monthly medications may include some over the counter things, perhaps birth control, and maybe if you get sick, a course of antibiotics. If you are a student, most insurance companies, if you aren't lucky enough to be covered under your parents insurance plan, cover about 80% of your medication costs. One of my drugs is $250 per month, and another, $150. Not too long ago, I was on a 10-day course of medication that cost $700. 80% coverage doesn't go very far when you are looking at those kinds of numbers. Although there are programs in Canada to help with some drug costs and they can be claimed on income taxes as a tax write-off, when you don't have the money in the first place, it is really hard.

Southland Times editorial on me, journalism and the law
The Southland Times editorial doesn't like me, but they have still come out against Judge Blackie's decision.
He is heavy and he ain't our brother.
In journalistic terms, Cameron Slater is more like one of those relatives that you don't get to choose. A distant one, we'd like to think.
The Whale Oil blogger forces us to reconsider the boundaries of what constitutes a journalist. It pains us to acknowledge kinship of any sort. But we do.
Right now he's embroiled in a defamation hearing, during which a High Court judge has ruled he's not a real journo, so cannot rely on the special – though still sorely limited – protections journalists have to keep their sources secret.
And that's a ruling that cannot stand.
Whether Cameron Slater is a good journalist is a different argument from whether he is one at all. Read more »

Product Description
Net Computer (thin client)T700, is a terminal device which can reduce your computing equipment total investment cost (faster ROI) by utilizing the software, hardware, and all external resources of the host computer through network connection.
Each device can use the application of the host computer such as surfing the internet, playing network games, instant messaging, email and so on by adding monitor, terminal machine, keyboard and mouse. Other host application like office applications, multimedia and graphics softwares can be use. So without complex and expensive stand alone computer, net computer can save a lot not only in standard computer hardware acquisition cost, but also recurring cost like power, maintenance and personnel staff.
Net Computer T700 can be use in many applications such as internet cafes, kiosks, training and education centers, call centers, offices, demo centers, hotel, ERP deployment, coffee shops, homes, industrial controls and so on.
Why use a thin client instead of standard PC?
The main reason thin clients are better than PCs is because they offer lower Total Cost of OwnerShip (TCO). By reducing maintenance and installation time, thin clients keep downtime to an absolute minimum. Take for example a business with a server and five PCs. Assume that this business needs to apply a security patch for an application thats installed on all the PCs; it would need to install and configure all five PCs one at a time.
With a thin client T700, an update on a server ensures that all thin clients are running the latest software. Client management and maintenance is centralized. It attemps to address staffing shortages, data privacy and security issues, and the quest for the value from technology purchases. Centralizing core functions of processing, disk storage, memory, applications and operating systems shifts the requirement of performance significantly, with the entire burden being placed on one or more back-end servers.
What are the advantages of a thin client?
Lower IT administration cost
Easier to secure
Enhanced data security
Lower hardware costs
Less energy consumption
Easier hardware failure management
Can operate in hostilre environment
More efficient use of computer resources
Lower noise
Less wasted hardware
Thin clients T700 can be used anywhere you would normally have a PC. With thin clients being less expensive on a per seat basis, more seats can be made available. Since servers usually have a large hard drive space the user hard drive space is considerable and data backup is simple.

In today's world, where kids seem to exercise only their thumbs and their eyeballs, Wilder offers an exciting alternative — a real world frontier of physical and mental space where everything is new and unfamiliar. Come to think of it, this is not only true for kids, it's true for adults, too.
That's why we're so intent upon preserving it and restoring nature as a key part of the Wilder experience. Along the way, it has led us to make some interesting choices …
• Of the 1,600 acres, we're dedicating over 1,300 of them to open space.
• Guided by a Landscape Master Plan created by renowned landscape architecture firm Hart Howerton, we're restoring a native ecology that, because of quarrying and cattle grazing, hasn't been there for a hundred years. While Hart Howerton has a global practice, a few of their principals are residents of Orinda and have a personal interest in maintaining the town's unique character. And they have established the core ideas of restoration and preservation that are at the heart of the plan for Wilder.
• We're creating miles of walking and biking trails that will connect you to surrounding open spaces and other destinations, including the Robert Sibley Volcanic Preserve, the East Bay Regional Park District, the Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve, the Lafayette Reservoir and downtown Orinda.
When finished, Wilder will be a neighborhood of just 245 homes. If you look at the community plan, you'll see that the neighborhood itself is just one small part of Wilder's 1,600 acres … the civilized part, which will occupy about 300 acres. What you can't see from the plan is the topography. How comfo

The name comes from another time, when these hills were put to different uses. Decades ago, the valley was filled with the sound of machinery and blasted rock. Now, it is filled with other sounds: kids splashing in a pool, live music and people gathering for all kinds of occasions.

Certain places are best explored on foot or bike. Wilder is one of them. That's why we're creating an extensive network of trails and paths that will weave through the natural landscape and connect to existing trails in Orinda. These connections will open Orinda's western boundary to the community and m

In a certain regard, Wilder is simply a long list of compelling arguments for spending more time outdoors. Hundreds of acres of natural open space. Creeks, woods, hills and meadows. The Quarry House. But there's more to the list.

Homemade Brown Sugar and Olive Oil Facial Scrub
By Yvonne Van Damme
There is no need to purchase a pricey commercial facial scrub. Olive oil facials at home can remove dead skin cells and moisturize your skin at the same time. In order to effectively remove those dead cells, add brown sugar to the olive oil to create a luxurious skin care treatment that does not contain nasty preservatives.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is commonly used in cooking. Don't let that stop you from using it on your skin! It contains potent antioxidants, such as oleic acid and caffeic acid. Antioxidants are anti-aging powerhouses that can actually prevent free radicals from aging your skin. Olive oil can treat skin conditions such as dermatitis, dry skin, and rosacea. A homemade brown sugar and olive oil facial scrub is one way to take advantage of these benefits and get smooth, glowing skin.
To make this scrub, measure out 1/2 cup brown sugar into a jar or container. Also measure out 1/4 cup virgin olive oil and add it to the brown sugar. Stir them together.
Dip your fingers into the scrub and apply the brown sugar and olive oil facial scrub to your skin in small circles. Continue to massage it into your skin for one minute. Wash it off thoroughly with warm water. Feel free to use this olive oil facial scrub on your body as well.
- Scrub in the shower. The homemade olive oil facial scrub is quite messy. The downside of doing this in the shower is that the bottom of the tub will be very slippery. Proceed with caution. If you're in the shower, this does not really apply.
- Make a fresh batch every time. It's optimal to make a new batch every time that you use the scrub. It does not keep well.
- Use the scrub one or two times per week, depending on your skin.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Congratulations on 268 consecutive posting, in less then two years. Lets be buddies. Thanks. Shep
Thanks for posting Crossville Gas prices every little bit helps. See points and prizes below to max out your daily points, You can get 975 daily and 1075 on Sun. Keep on posting and join in on the fun. One other thing do not post discount prices. Ex. Kroger, Walmart/ Murphy Oil, Etc.
welcome aboard!! thanks for posting!! : -) . here are some guidelines to further improve the postings: FAQ's about Price Listings Q: Do I post the cash price, or the credit price?A: Most consumers use debit or credit cards when making purchases. We've had far too many complaints from people stating they've gone to a station only to find out they had to pay more than what was quoted on our site. That said, please post the price before the cash discount when possible. You can still provide the cash discount information, but please enter that information in the Comments field. for example the Citgo Near I-85 Exit 102 comments: -9¢ gas -10¢ diesel with cash, for Auto Stop: cash only no credit or debit card, for Murphy: -3¢ w/Walmart giftcard -5¢ w/Walmart creditcard, for Bilo card stations: accepts BiLo Fuelperks, for Brad's: cash price, add 3% for cards
Posting prices with Comments is really easy once you create the list of Favorite stations, include the comments for the stations, and then use the list to post prices. comments can be added on the map and other places but they are not saved so they have to be added every time a price is posted.
To get max pts click on 5 "recent news" stories near bottom left, then go to the top to Forum for 5 of that 1,2,3,4,5, that's 100 pts plus 5 gas prices 6 days a week 975 pts. on Sundays near bottom left a short survey /question for a total = 1,075 pts... :-)

Mustache Maintenance Basics.
- Before you trim your mustache, first comb it straight down using a narrow toothed comb.
- Be sure to use a precision ground trimmer to shape your mustache like WAHL's Mustache Trimmer that offers a compact size and great line of sight to help get under the nose.
- Try experimenting with different styles to see which shape best suits your personality, the shape of your face and the fullness of your growth.
- Some styles do not require trimming the top of the mustache. In this case, only trim the bottom above the top lip.
- When trimming with a snap-on length guide comb, work from the inside out in a downward motion.
- To trim the length freehand, trim hairs using an upward motion applying slow and light pressure.
- Too much pressure may trim off more hair than desired.
- After achieving desired length, use either the taper guide comb or freehand in an upward motion from the lip out to taper the mustache.
- The style you choose dictates the desired length of time between trims.
