Big Think TV
The History of Life on Earth in Three Minutes
Over its history the Earth has seen an incredible diversity of life - maybe as many as fifty million species.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.

Living as I do, in the idyll of Weston, South Northamptonshire, you may be forgiven for thinking that it's a sleepy little village – not so, for behind closed doors the community galvanises and punches above their weight. One such example would be the spectacular Weston & Weedon Horticultural Society which was originally founded by the gardener and broadcaster, Cecil Henry Middleton, in 1940.
Mr Middleton launched "The Dig for Victory Campaign" on his radio show "In Your Garden". He regularly attracted 3.5m listeners who tuned into the BBC Home Service every Sunday to listen to his horticultural tips. This year marks the 70th Anniversary of the Weston & Weedon Horticultural show where the C. H Midleton Cup for vegetables is still closely fought over and revered.
Over the years many a celebrity has graced our horticultural hotspot, from Derek Nimmo to Dame Edna Everage, who opened the show on, not one, but two occasions!
There are over 152 classes from floral art, photography and cookery including the "men only" Guinness cake, to the strangest looking vegetable and heaviest marrow. Entries cost up to an eye-watering £0.50 but the rewards could quite easily buy the winner a round of tea and cake in the tea tent! Clearly, it's not about the winning but the satisfaction of being at one with nature and carrying on the time-honoured, horticultural tradition.
The longest runner beans.
The longest carrots.
Stunning Pom Pom Dahlias.
Class 97 – Guinness Cake, MEN ONLY. Some things haven't changed since 1940!
Class 36 – A pair of cauliflower, 8cm stem.
Onion sets.
A wonderful tradition which gathers the community to celebrate the fruits of the land!

Standing at the top of The Orchard Residences, you would not think it an exaggeration to say that all roads lead here.

My seventh-grader, rightfully so, had her cellphone confiscated after it vibrated during class.Under Mansfield school policy, a $15 fine must be paid "by the parent" to release the phone.The problem is not the fine or the policy but the potential unintended consequences.Statistically, both Dallas and Fort Worth occupy two slots on the top 10 list of cities for human trafficking of children ages 10 to 14.Forced to leave school without their phones, our children have no way to call for help should they be accosted by predators.Solution: Attach the fine to the end-of-year report card and release the phone at the end of the day.With respect to cellphones, what goes on at school needs to stay at school.The district policy is endangering the lives of our children beyond their scope of providing care, custody and control during school hours.Is the spilled blood of our children equal in importance to losing five minutes of classroom instruction?-- Allen D.

Some classic Caribbean recipes
Prime Minister Errol Barrow's Hot SauceHere is Errol W. Barrow's hot sauce recipe. He was Prime Minister of Barbados from 1961-76 and again from 1986 until his death in 1987. In addition to being a fighter pilot ace in WWII and accomplished barrister he was also an accomplished cook, who published "Privilege: Cooking in the Caribbean" in 1988 (available form BajanThings). He noted: "Pepper sauce recipes can be adjusted to suit individual tastes: green papaya, green mango may also be used." We have modified this recipe slightly for the food processor-enhanced kitchen.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and boil for about 15 minutes. Adjust the consistency with water. Puree in a food processor or blender and bottle in sterilised bottles.
Heat Scale: Hotback to top of page
Bajan SeasoningBajan seasoning is found in almost every home and is the secret to the success for many mouth-watering Bajan dishes. One of the favourite uses is to place it between the meat and skin of chicken pieces before grilling, baking, or frying. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
In a food processor, combine the onions, green onion, garlic, and bonney peppers and process to a coarse paste.
Remove the leaves from the stems of the thyme, parsley, and marjoram. Place the leaves and the vinegar in a food processor or blender and liquefy.
Combine the onion paste, vinegar mixture, and the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover, transfer to the refrigerator, and allow to sit for 1 week before using. The seasoning will keep in the refrigerator for at least 6 months.
Fried Flying FishThere are a great number of variations on this favourite Bajan speciality. This is probably the favourite version, as described in John Lake's book, The Culinary Heritage of Barbados. Flying fish is sometimes found frozen in Florida markets; if it's not available, substitute any mild white fish, such as flounder.
Bajan hot sauce, such as BajanThings Windmill range. Rub the fillets with the Bajan Seasoning, then dip them in the beaten eggs, then the bread crumbs and flour. Fry the fillets in the butter until lightly browned, turning once.
Serve garnished with the lime slices and parsley. Sprinkle hot sauce over the fillets to taste.

Bajan Rum PunchHealth warning: "Do not let the pleasant taste fool you, it carries the kick of a mule!" Here's the rhyme Bajan use to mix a traditional rum punch…
One of sour, Two of sweet, Three of strong, And, four of weak."
In a pitcher, combine the lime juice, syrup, rum, water, and bitters and stir well. Pour into glasses filled with ice, and sprinkle the nutmeg over the top. Add a cocktail cherry
There you have a Bajan rum punch - just like Sammy the chief barman at the Powell Spring Hotel in Bathsheba used to make!

K-9 dog dies of heat in Texas deputy's patrol car
Updated On: Aug 23 2013 03:49:44 PM CDT
The Harris County Sheriff's Office is investigating a deputy after his K-9 dog died of heat exhaustion after being left in the deputy's patrol car.
Sheriff's spokesman Alan Bernstein said the deputy has been placed on administrative leave until the internal affairs investigation is finished.
Bernstein said the dog died Aug. 14 after the deputy arrived home, became distracted and left the dog in the car. He said the deputy is a 20-year veteran of the sheriff's office and has been with the K-9 unit for 12 years.
Bernstein said sheriff's officials are considering options for keeping similar deaths of K-9 dogs from recurring.

Google Books Ngram Viewer Fun December 22, 2010Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Humor.
Tags: Google, Google Ngram Viewer, Star Trek, Star Wars, Stephenie Meyer, Unicorns, Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies
Google has a new… toy? erm… research tool up. I saw it mentioned on I, Cringley yesterday and played with it a bit last night.
It is the Google Labs – Books Ngram Viewer.
I'll give you a moment to look up ngram.
Or I can try to explain it in a half-assed fashion
Essentially, Google has scanned in a large collection of books (something that has earned Google Books a good deal of grief) and this tool allows you to enter a word or phrase and see how often it comes up in the corpus they have scanned.
So you can chart the frequency of mention of, say, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Fortunately, Britney is trending down of late. Not that I care. Neither get mentioned much in books I read.
But you can compare things and graph them, and that has super nerd appeal.
You do have to take care with the words, names, and phrases you use. Madonna, for example, dwarfs the Britney and Christina, but the word "madonna" isn't exclusive to the artist, so it is hard to tell how much of that is pop culture and how much religion.
And I had to come up with some topics closer to my own interests to graph.
Well, I guess that finishes off the Star Trek vs. Star Wars fight, though Star Wars seems to have peaked a while back. (About the time of Empire, if you want my opinion, but that is another topic.)
And the, a little closer to home.
Podcast, blog, website, and newsletter. Blog has definitely been taking off. Podcast gets less mention than I thought, but it does tend to be a transitory medium. Who goes back and listens to old podcasts? Besides me? Do you hear that Van Hemlock? Write more.
Of course, we can look at things that really matter.
Yes, online games, virtual worlds, Netscape, Compuserve, carbon paper, and mad cow disease.
You can see how those all fit together, right?
Virtual worlds is the clear winner, though it has dropped a bit of late.
Online games are on the rise.
Netscape and Compuserve are in decline for mentions in literature, as well they might be.
Carbon paper remains quite stable despite not being that widely used since the mass availability of the copy machine some 30 years back.
And mad cow disease is still more likely to get mentioned than any of these other than virtual worlds, though I am going to guess that there is some cross-over there between that and Second Life.
Then, of course, we can go to items of critical national importance.
Yes, the age old conflict between vampires, unicorns, werewolves and zombies.
It was a horn to fang race through most of the 20th century, with neither gaining dominance. Then around 1980, vampires take off and never look back. I'm going to credit/blame Anne Rice here. Peter S. Beagle never had a chance. Stephenie Meyer should send Anne Rice a Christmas card (or a Winter Solstice card maybe) every year thanking her for laying the groundwork of her success.
Meanwhile, zombies, which really had no standing for most of the last century, have really come into their own since 2000, passing unicorns, who have remained flat. And even werewolves, sort of the odd-man out of the monster classes (Look, are you human or wolf? pick one already.) Threaten to surpass unicorns.
Of course, I am just searching through the full English corpus. Switching to just American English looks about the same, with vampires just spiking even more drastically in the last 20 years. But looking at the British English corpus and the results just get odd.
Vampires still rule, but they had a good run there in the 1970s as well. What was going on in the UK then? It can't just be Margret Thatcher. And what was going on around 1930 with Unicorns?
I think there might be a sample size issue.
If I switch to the Spanish corpus, well, zombies rule.
But I didn't bother to translate my search terms into Spanish, so who knows what that really means.

Werewolf is "hombre lobo" (literally "man wolf") in Spanish. Hooray, putting that university degree to work! :)

The late 1960s/197os was the heydey of Hammer Films in the U.K. They made all those bodice-ripping vampire films starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. There was a big horror boom in the U.K. around then (whether because of the films or part of the zeigeist I couldn't say) and a huge number of cheap horror novels with blood-dripping fanged creatures looming over buxom women in flimsy nightwear leered at us from every station bookstall.
You'll have to ask someone older than me about the Unicorn boom of the 1930s.

I really needed new lead wires for my tens unit. i was so glad that you sold the lead wires and the pads separately. Many places only sell a kit that includes the lead wires and electrode pads. Also, I was quite impressed with the rapidlity that my order was shipped. Thank you and I will order again from you.

It works perfectly to ease the pain.
I have early arthritis due to my ACL injury. There are times that the pain is really unbearable. I consulted the doctor and he suggested I go to a therapist. went to one and I was advised to purchase a TENS unit. He then taught me how to operate one and recommended the setting I'll do to start with it. At first I was uncomfortable, but as soon as I found out the right setting compatible for me I learned to love it. Until now, I use this particular brand.

Better Digital Tens Unit
I bought the Body Med digital tens unit over other tens units, because this one lets my doctor fix the settings for me and then he can check to see that I'm using it right. I was worried about using it wrong, so that feature makes me more comfortable with the idea of using a tens unit.

Buy American.....these tyco l-back strips are the best.
I have been using these L-back strips for...along time> My back was broken on duty as a Firefighter. I use them every day, and with proper handling will last months. When they start to lose their good form and adherence, you can run them quickly under hot tap water, place them on their strip backing and put in the refrigerator to "RENEW" them overnight. Fact, I have them on right now. ()(:)

To help meet the need, LAGCOE has enlisted CMAC, a national transportation management company based in Providence, R.I., with offices out of Chicago, Dallas and Las Vegas. Calling itself one of the premier companies of its kind in the nation, CMAC tells ABiz it is ready to take on the task of carting around LAGCOE attendees.
LAGCOE has stepped up its game this year with the hiring of CMAC. The show provided shuttle services in past years, but never to this caliber. Seventeen buses have been reserved and are ready to roll thanks to help from the city of Lafayette, which is loaning its buses, and also charter buses. The shuttle service will allow attendees to ride in comfort and not worry about hauling items to and from the Cajundome in the possible sweltering heat that can be a South Louisiana autumn. On the other end of the spectrum is the occasional downpour that can put a real damper on the show.
CMAC's goal is to give show-goers a frustration-free experience. "The biggest frustrations we hear is people pay a lot to come to these types of trade shows and don't want to have to pay even more to park or walk far," says CMAC spokesman Sam Spadavecchia. Spadavecchia has been working closely with LAGCOE for the past eight months and has a plan to make the show even better with his transit solutions — CMAC specializes in petroleum industry shows.
Hotel lobbies will display prominent signage for where to hop on the shuttle, and shuttle schedules will be available in the lobby and at the Cajundome. For individuals requiring ADA transportation, a hotline has been established to reach CMAC for those in need of handicap-accessible equipment during scheduled shuttle hours. The biggest challenge will be to get guests who have been accustomed to hopping in their cars and heading to the show to try something new and take the shuttle.
"The ride to the Cajundome is the perfect time for teammates to go over their game plan for the show or discuss what booths they want to visit. On the way back to the hotel, it's the time to relax, call home and chat with the family and not have to worry about navigating traffic," says Spadavecchia.
Well said, Spadavecchia.
Shuttle schedule can also be found on the LAGCOE website

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
UPDATE: Wednesday, October 24, 2012
A 5-year-old girl abducted in southeast Missouri is found alive, and the convicted sex offender suspected of taking her is in custody.
Police say the girl and the suspect were found during a traffic stop at 1:50 p.m. Wednesday along a rural highway about 10 miles south of her hometown of Poplar Bluff.
Poplar Bluff police officer Darron Moore says the suspect did not try to flee or resist arrest.
The girl was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
Butler County prosecutor Kevin Barbour says he is finalizing paperwork on charges.
The child's mother discovered just before 7 a.m. that she was missing. The suspect is a 45-year-old man who was convicted in 1990 for the abduction, rape and sodomy of a 12-year-old girl in Fort Hood, Texas.
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Southeast Missouri authorities are searching for a 5-year-old girl that they believe was abducted from her bedroom by a convicted sex offender.
An Amber Alert says Abigail Elaine Bertholf was taken between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 6 a.m. Wednesday in Poplar Bluff. She is described as bi-racial with black hair and brown eyes.
Police believe she's with 45-year-old Jeffrey Dean Shelton, who was arrested in 1990 for the abduction, rape and sodomy of a 12-year-old girl in Fort Hood, Texas. He is reportedly driving a silver 2001 Nissan Pathfinder with Missouri license PJ8Z5M.
Poplar Bluff Police Capt. Dave Sutton told KAIT-TV the suspect and child are not related. He says the suspect was seen leaving the street where the girl lives with the child by his side.

Now that we have an opening draw, there are now 96 matches scheduled between 32 of the best clubs Europe has to offer. Several great rivalries will be renewed over the next few months, and a handful of Europe's up-and-coming sides will also be tested by the continent's perennial powers. As usual, most Americans couldn't give a shit less.
That's really a shame, because the Champions League has really become the world's biggest sporting event. It's part NCAA Basketball Tournament, part NFL Playoffs, and all about some rivalries that are older than America itself.
But I'm not here to win converts; I'm here to look at the eight groups of four teams each, and to take a look at who has the best shot to get out of the group stage.
Group A: Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Sociedad
This group features one three-time winner, two domestic champions from the previous season and four teams that have all made it to the knockout round of the competition in the new millennium.
1) Manchester United
- How they qualified: English Premier League champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1968, 1999, 2008)
- Home stadium: Old Trafford / Manchester, England
- Manager David Moyes
- Preview: United has a new look this year, as David Moyes replaced the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson as manager. Man U remains as one of the royalty of European soccer; they still have a crushing level of talent even with the uncertain status of striker Wayne Rooney as far as his tenure with the Red Devils is concerned. This club has to be considered a favorite to advance deep into this tournament.
2) Shakhtar Donetsk
- How they qualified: Ukrainian Premier League champion,advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Quarterfinals (2011)
- Home stadium: Donbass Arena / Donetsk, Ukraine
- Manager: Mircea Lucescu
- Preview: Ever since legendary Romanian manager Mircea Lucescu took over at Donetsk in 2004, they have been consistently one of the best coached teams in any competition, European sides have found Donetsk to be a worthy adversary in many competitions, especially in their UEFA Cup win in 2009. Having said that, this is a tough draw for the Ukrainians, and they will have to play their best football to advance.
3) Bayer Leverkusen
- How they qualified: German Bundesliga third place, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Finalist (2002)
- Home stadium: BayArena / Leverkusen, Germany
- Manager: Sami Hyypiä
- Preview: In its first three three Bundesliga matches, Leverkusen jumped out to an impressive 3-0 record with a goal differential of +5. In other words, they look interesting, but they have a history of being better suited as a bridesmaid in top level European competitions. They didn't get out out of the Round of 32 of the Europa League last year, and this year finds them back in Europe's premier club competition. Glory has always seemed to elude them, as they have been runner-up in the Bundesliga five times and in the Champions League once. Granted, the German League has really ascended in recent years to the top of the European food chain, but Leverkusen remains on my "believe when I see it" ilst.
4) Real Sociedad
- How they qualified: Spanish La Liga fourth place, defeated Olympique Lyonnais in playoff round
- Best finish: Round of 16 (2004)
- Home stadium: Anoeta / San Sebastián, Spain
- Mananger: Jagoba Arrasate
- Preview: As a member of the best league in Europe, Real Sociedad easily dispatched with solid French side Lyon 4-0 on aggregate in the playoff round. While that performance has some viewing Sociedad as having arrived on the major European stage, but there are still too many questions about the depth of a club that has only been in the top flight of Spanish soccer for the past three years.
Group B: Juventus, Real Madrid, Galatasaray, FC Copenhagen
This group features three powerful and storied clubs along with a probably over-matched Danish champion Copenhagen set to struggle.
1) Juventus
- How they qualified: Italian Serie A champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1985, 1996)
- Home stadium: Juventus Stadium / Turin, Italy
- Manager: Antonio Conte
- Preview: Juventus had a side that won Serie A, and to that they added a fearsome attack with Carlos Tévez and Fernando Llorente over the summer. With the legendary Andrea Pirlo pulling the strings in midfield, this is Juventus' strongest squad in several years, which is considerable since they won the the top Italian league by a nine-point margin last year.
2) Real Madrid
- How they qualified: Spanish La Liga second place, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966, 1998, 2000, 2002)
- Home stadium: Estadio Santiago Bernabéu / Madrid, Spain
- Manager: Carlo Ancelotti
- Preview: This is Real Madrid's 17th consecutive season in the Champions League, where it will look for a record 10th title. New manager Carlo Ancelotti came to Real from French power Paris Saint-Germain, where he led a similarly star-studded squad to the Ligue 1 title last year. With such a transition, there are some who have shown concern over Real's early weak performances in La Liga.
3) Galatasaray
- How they qualified: Turkish Süper Lig champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Semifinals (1989)
- Home stadium: Türk Telekom Arena / Istanbul, Turkey
- Manager: Fatih Terim
- Preview: Somehow this club always remains relevant to European football despite the fact it plays in the relatively inferior Turkish league. Despite that, the club spent money to buy top-flight players such as Wesley Sneijder, Didier Drogba, and Emmanuel Eboué, which makes Galatasaray a side ready to snatch an advancement should with Juventus or Real Madrid show the slightest stumble.
4) FC Copenahgen
- How they qualified: Danish Superliga champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Round of 16 (2011)
- Home stadium: Parken Stadium / Copenhagen, Denmark
- Mananger: Ståle Solbakken
- Preview: FC Copenhagen is really the "little brother" in this group. Here's a club that has never dropped out of the top three in Denmark's highest division since the 1999-2000 season, but they also have never won , Copenhagen has also never won a European competition and they have only advanced beyond the group stage on rare occasions.
Group C: Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Anderlecht, Olympiakos
This is an evenly matched group featuring just one team from a "Big Four" nation, hence this may be the most wide-open group in the draw.
1) Paris Saint-Germain
- How they qualified: French Ligue 1 champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Quarterfinals (2013)
- Home stadium: Parc des Princes / Paris, France
- Manager: Laurent Blanc
- Preview: PSG has come into some money recently and has spent its way back to the top of the talent pool in Europe. As the club stabilizes after its most recent spending spree this summer, it heads into the Champions League with serious expectations of advancing deep into the competition. Another factor driving those expectations is the fact manager In Laurent Blanc holds a French domestic record for winning 11 matches in a row at Bordeaux.
2) Benfica
- How they qualified: Portuguese Primeira Liga second place, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1961, 1962)
- Home stadium: Estádio da Luz / Lisbon, Portugal
- Manager: Jorge Jesus
- Preview: As of late, Portugal has been like a European developmental league, meaning it grows a ton of talent who then signs elsewhere for big money. Having said that, look for Benfica to be heavily scouted by the buyers in the next transfer window during this tournament, as no less than nine nations are represented on the Benfica side.
3) Anderlecht
- How they qualified: Belgian Pro League champion, directly into group stage
- Best finish: Semifinals (1982, 1986)
- Home stadium: Constant Vanden Stock Stadium / Brussels, Belgium
- Manager: John van den Brom
- Preview: Anderlecht almost never gets much competition in its domestic league, which means they almost never do anything on European nights. They aren't going to advance against the likes of Benfica and PSG, but they aren't as flaky as Olympiakos.
4) Olympiakos
- How they qualified: Greek Superleague champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Quarterfinals (1999)
- Home stadium: Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium / Athens, Greece
- Coach: Míchel
- Preview: As per my earlier comments, Olympiakos is at the same time Greeces' most successful club, and is this tournaments most unpredictable. There's something in the water in Greece (as evidenced by the national team's weird performances in both Euro 2004 and 2008) that makes Greek sides capable of being both spectacular and horrible in the confines of the same match. That kind of inconsistency is a very limiting factor in the Champions League.
Group D: Bayern Munich, Manchester City, CSKA Moscow, Viktoria Plzeň
This is another loaded with talent; three domestic champions, a super-club looking for the European success it failed to find last year,and a tiny club that traveled a long road to make it to the group stage.
1) Bayern Munich
- How they qualified: UEFA Champions League winner, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1974, 1975, 1976, 2001, 2013)
- Home stadium: Allianz Arena / Munich, Germany
- Manager: Pep Guardiola
- Preview: There's really no other way to look at this club than as one of the favorites to win the Champions League again. Bayern Munich's biggest off-season change was hiring new manager Pep Guardiola, which means will this team instill a similar possession-based philosophy as he did at FC Barcelona or work with the grittier German style to create something completely different? Either way, this team has far too much talent to be anything other than a semi-finalist at the very least.
2) Manchester City
- How they qualified: English Premier League second place, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Group stage (1969, 2011, 2012)
- Home stadium: City of Manchester Stadium / Manchester, England
- Manager: Manuel Pellegrini
- Preview: Man City just can't be as dreadful again as they were in Europe last year, can they? You bet they can. It isn't likely given this draw, but to be honest, there are several other groups in which I would never dream of putting Man city in the top two. There's a ton of pressure on Pelligrini's side to perform given what this club has spent in recent years to get to the top of the European food chain, and duplicating last year's European efforts by flaming out of the Champions' and the Europa League will likely result in a dismantling of this club.
3) CSKA Moscow
- How they qualified: Russian Premier League champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Quarterfinal (2010)
- Home stadium: Arena Khimki / Moscow, Russia
- Manager: Leonid Slutsky
- Preview: While CSKA is probably not the strongest Russian team at this point, CSKA still managed to win their domestic league over powerful sides like Zenit St. Petersburg and the surprising Anzhi Makhachkala. Either way, this club deserves to be in the Champions League. Like all things Russian, there is a distinct home advantage CSKA will enjoy playing matches in Moscow on the cusp of the Russian winter, but even given that the Muscovitews will need to play flawless football to entertain a chance of avoiding another trip to the Europa League.
4) Viktoria Plzeň
- How they qualified: Czech Gambrinus Liga champion, defeated Željezničar Sarajevo in second qualifying round, Nõmme Kalju in third qualifying round, NK Maribor in playoff round
- Best finish: Group stage (2012)
- Home stadium: Doosan Arena / Plzeň, Czech Republic
- Coach: Pavel Vrba
- Preview: Plzeň is one of two "Little Engines That Could," meaning they are one of two team in the group stage to progress all the way from the second qualifying round to the group stage. The little Czech club received a favorable draw throughout by never facing a club that started the competition later than it did. As a result, Plzeň is the smallest club in the entire competition, yet they are in the group stage for the second consecutive year.
Group E: Chelsea, FC Basel, Schalke, Steaua Bucharest
After Chelsea, this group is wide open.
1) Chelsea
- How they qualified: English Premier League third place, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (2012)
- Home stadium: Stamford Bridge / London, England
- Manager: José Mourinho
- Preview: Everything old is new again at Stamford Bridge with the return of manager José Mourinho. Chelsea should win this group, as it is clearly the most talented club in it.
2) FC Basel
- How they qualified: Swiss Super League champion, defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv in third qualifying round, Ludogoretz Razgrad in playoff round
- Best finish: Quarterfinals (1974)
- Home stadium: St. Jakob-Park / Basel, Switzerland
- Manager: Murat Yakin
- Preview: Basel has a long history of advancing to the group stage and grabbing a couple of results. But they are also like the Portuguese teams, meaning they tend to develop talent later to be signed by other teams. That also means they have enough talent to advance to the knock-out round.
3) Schalke
- How they qualified: German Bundesliga fourth place, defeated PAOK Thessaloniki in playoff round
- Best finish: Semifinals (2011)
- Home stadium: Veltins-Arena / Gelsenkirchen, Germany
- Manager: Jens Keller
- Preview: I just don't buy Schalke. I think they are riding the coat-tails of a ascending Bundesliga. It took a miracle from Julian Draxler to get this club into the group stage, and that has been the modus operandi for this club under Jens Keller. This club could easily miss Europa as well if they don't figure something out soon.
4) Steaua Bucharest
- How they qualified: Romanian Liga 1 champion, defeated FK Vardar in second qualifying round, Dinamo Tbilisi in third qualifying round, Legia Warsaw in playoff round
- Best finish: Winner (1986)
- Home stadium: Arena Națională / Bucharest, Romania
- Manager: Laurențiu Reghecampf
- Preview: After a five-year absence, the pride of Romanian football finds itself back in the group stage. That's the good news. The bad news for Steaua is that while it was a long, hard road at a shot to recapture some of the glory of nearly 30 years ago, getting a result better than a fourth-place finish will be close to impossible. While this is not the strongest group, the fact is that a Romanian team has not played in the spring since the tournament was re-branded in 1992. It doesn't help this team just sold arguably it's best player, Vlad Chiricheș, to Tottenham Hotspur.
Group F: Borussia Dortmund, Marseille, Arsenal, Napoli
This is arguably the best group you could assemble without a single domestic champion in it. Despite that, this group still includes a Champions League finalist from last year and and three perennial domestic contenders.
1) Borussia Dortmund
- How they qualified: German Bundesliga second place, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1997)
- Home stadium: Westfalenstadion / Dortmund, Germany
- Manager: Jürgen Klopp
- Preview: Last season, Jürgen Klopp led his team to an improbable all-German Champions League final by defeating Real Madrid 4-1 at home in the semifinal behind a four-goal game from Robert Lewandowski, who stayed with the club over the summer despite serious international interest.
2) Marseille
- How they qualified: French Ligue 1 second place, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1993)
- Home stadium: Stade Vélodrome / Marseille, France
- Manager: Élie Baup
- Preview: Although Marseille is used to living in PSG and Lyon's shadow, it has at least managed to overcome the latter in terms of success in recent years. The locally owned club will likely never be able to match PSG for money, but it will always put up a fight, egged on by some of the most passionate fans in France.
3) Arsenal
- How they qualified: English Premier League fourth place, defeated Fenerbahçe in playoff round
- Best finish: Finalist (2006)
- Home stadium: Emirates Stadium / London, England
- Manager: Arsène Wenger
- Preview: Despite the dispatching of the-now banned Fenerbahçe in the play-off round, Arsenal has two problems. They did not address some needs during the most recent transfer window, and the talent they have (Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Girouda for example) are young and largely unproven on the continental stage.
4) Napoli
- How they qualified: Serie A second place, advance directly into group stage
- Best finish: Second Round (1991)
- Home stadium: Stadio San Paolo / Naples, Italy
- Coach: Rafael Benítez
- reveiw: Here's a team that may very well be going from the best finish last year for a team to not even make Europa after the group stage. Rafael Benítez took over as Napoli manager after winning the Europa League with Chelsea last season, but this team doesn't have the talent Chelsea has. And while Napoli has shown a willingness to spend in the transfer market, they somewhat missed the mark by doing so with Gonzalo Higuaín and Pepe Reina (on loan from Liverpool). Nobody really expects much from this Napoli side in this competition, but they might just hurt some team that overlooks them.
Group G: Atletico Madrid, Zenit St Petersburg, FC Porto, Austria Wien
FC Porto has the history of winning this tournament, every other team in this group has been here before, and Atletcio and Zenit can each go a long way here.
1) Atlético Madrid
- How they qualified: Spanish La Liga third place, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Finalist (1974)
- Home stadium: Estadio Vicente Calderón / Madrid, Spain
- Manager: Diego Simeone
- Preview: Atletico just slugged it out with FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup and didn't look to be out their weight class. The team combines a technical ability and tactical awareness typical of the classic Spanish approach with the physical play generally more characteristic of the English and the Germans.
2) Zenit St. Petersburg
- How they qualified: Russian Premier League second place, defeated FC Nordsjælland in third qualifying round, Paços de Ferreira in playoff round
- Best finish: Round of 16 (2012)
- Home stadium: Petrovsky Stadium / St. Petersburg, Russia
- Manager: Luciano Spalletti
- Preview: Fact number one: Zenit always finds its way into Europe. Fact number two: Zenit picked the bones of Anzhi Makhachkala after their collapse. Those lead to fact number three: Zenit has loaded up for a full frontal assault on the Russian Premier League and the Champions League. They will tough to beat, and while not an overwhelming favorite for Europe, they are nowhere near a longshot either.
3) FC Porto
- How they qualified: Portuguese Primeira Liga champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1987, 2004)
- Home stadium: Estádio do Dragão / Porto, Portugal
- Manager: Paulo Fonseca
- Preview: FC Porto's heyday came with José Mourinho's coming-out party in Europe when he led them to the won the UEFA Cup and Champions League in back-to-back years ant the beginning of the new millennium. While the glory days are waned at Porto, they still can prove a challenge on the European stage.
4) Austria Wien
- How they qualified: Austrian Bundesliga champion, defeated FH in third qualifying round, Dinamo Zagreb in playoff round
- Best finish: Semifinals (1979)
- Home stadium: Franz Horr Stadium / Vienna, Austria
- Coach: Thomas Parits
- Manager: The weakest team in this group, Vienna survived a late scare in the playoff round to defeat Dinamo Zagreb and make it into the group stage. Don't expect too much out of the Austrian champion, far removed from its European glory days.
Group H: FC Barcelona, AC Milan, Celtic, Ajax,
Group H of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League has more European Cup wins than every other group combined. This is as close as it gets to a Group of Death in this edition of the competition.
1) FC Barcelona
- How they qualified: Spanish La Liga champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1992, 2006, 2009, 2011)
- Home stadium: Camp Nou / Barcelona, Spain
- Manager: Gerardo Martino
- Preview: Even with a new manager and a squad of aging players, FC Barcelona is still the best club in Europe, although the gap between them and the contenders is not a great as it once was.
2) AC Milan
- How they qualified: Italian Serie A third place, defeated PSV Eindhoven in playoff round
- Best finish: Winner (1963, 1969, 1989, 1990, 1994, 2003, 2007)
- Home stadium: San Siro / Milan, Italy
- Manager: Massimiliano Allegri
- Preview: Only twice in the last 14 years has AC Milan failed to reach the Champions League, and in only two of those appearance have the Italians failed to advance to the knock-out rounds. That isn't going to change, if for no other reason than Milan's attack is still one of the best in Europe.
3) Celtic
- How they qualified: Scottish Premier League champion, defeated Cliftonville in second qualifying round, Elfsborg in third qualifying round, Shakhter Karagandy in playoff round
- Best finish: Winner (1967)
- Home stadium: Celtic Park / Glasgow, Scotland
- Manager: Neil Lennon
- Preview: Celtic always provides a great home atmosphere in Europe, and this year, I think that may be enough. They aren't going to win this group, and they know that. This campaign will be all about getting the Scots back into Europa.
4) Ajax
- How they qualified: Dutch Eredivisie champion, advanced directly into group stage
- Best finish: Winner (1971, 1972, 1973, 1995)

UM School of Medicine Scientists Find Hormone Influences Sensitivity to Sweetness
A hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar levels may also influence a person's sensitivity to sweet-tasting foods, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. They found that blocking the tongue's ability to respond to the hormone known as glucagon decreases the taste system's sensitivity to sweetness. That is, changing the actions of the hormone glucagon could control how foods taste, according to the study published online June 14 in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Journal.
"An interesting possibility resulting from our research is that the development of new food additives could change the way you perceive your food, making it taste more or less sweet," says senior author Steven Munger, PhD associate professor of anatomy and neurobiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "From a food industry perspective, such additives could be used to enhance flavor. From a therapeutic perspective, they could be used to treat patients who under-eat or overeat."
Glucagon, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, acts in opposition to insulin. Glucagon raises blood glucose levels, while insulin lowers those levels. Munger and his colleagues found that glucagon and its receptor are expressed in mouse taste receptor cells that are associated with the detection of sugars and sweetness.
The scientists also found that blocking glucagon's actions using a specific drug made mice less responsive to a sweet solution they were offered. Mice are often used as models for humans in such research, since the mechanisms that regulate taste are similar in both species. "The data suggest that a person's susceptibility to sweetness might have to do with their metabolic state or nutritional needs," says Munger.
Funding for the study came from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) and the National Institute on Aging, both part of the National Institutes of Health, and the Ajinomoto Amino Acid Research Program. The study was co-authored by School of Medicine Program in Neuroscience graduate student Amanda Elson, postdoctoral fellow Shawn Dotson, PhD, and Josephine Egan, MD, of the National Institute on Aging.
A previous study by the same research team found that another hormone, similar to glucagon, also plays a role in taste. The current study now shows that the actions of these hormones can be directly manipulated in the mouth. "When we blocked glucagon in this study, the mice were less sensitive to sugar," Munger says. "That leaves open the possibility that we could also enhance sensitivity to sugars by manipulating glucagon in the other direction. That could open doors for food additives to make what we eat taste sweeter without adding more sugar."
"The taste system plays a nontraditional role in glucose metabolism and brings a new perspective into the control of diabetes and obesity," says James Battey Jr., MD, PhD, director of the NIDCD.
Munger and his colleagues now are pursuing the next step in their research, examining how glucagon works together with other hormones to regulate the tongue's sensitivity to sweet and savory tastes. They also are exploring how the hormones affect how much one eats - if a subject is less sensitive to sweet tastes, does that increase or decrease the size of their meal?
"Munger's findings could have great significance for patients who suffer from diabetes, metabolic disorders or obesity," says E. Albert Reece, MD, PhD, MBA, acting president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore, John Z. and Akiko K. Bowers Distinguished Professor and dean of the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "This is an example of how our world-class basic scientists are making groundbreaking discoveries that could directly impact human health down the line."

text: On February 22, 1994, at 1412 hours UTC, a model 2000 Starship, registration # N8149S, S/N NC-35, owned and operated by Beech Aircraft Corporation, was substantially damaged during an aborted takeoff from runway 29 at Roskilde, Denmark. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and an instrument flight plan had been filed for the flight. There were no injuries to the airplane's 2 crewmembers or 4 passengers. After being cleared for takeoff, the airplane rolled for about 2,500 feet before rotating about 100 knots airspeed. Moments after liftoff the pilot in command noted that there was no pitch control. He observed that the power and airspeed were at predetermined values but the airplane was not climbing. He pulled the control wheel fully aft but the airplane did not respond. It settled back onto the runway and the pilot immediately applied full reverse power. The aircraft continued off the end of the runway and the landing gear collapsed. Photographs taken within hours of the accident revealed snow and ice on the leading edges of the wings of the airplane. The investigation is being conducted by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Board (AAIB) of Denmark. All inquires for information or reports should be addressed to Mr. Paul Scheurer-Larsen, AAIB, 45 Jernbane Alle, DK-2720 Vanloese, Denmark.

Nanoscale Surfaces Protect Implanted Materials Against Infection
Researchers have created nanoscale surfaces for implanted materials that mimic the contours of natural skin. The surfaces attract skin cells that, over time, are shown to build a natural seal against bacterial invasion. The group also created a molecular chain that allows an implant surface to be covered with skin cell-growing proteins, further accelerating skin growth. Results are published in the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research A.
In recent years, researchers have worked to develop more flexible, functional prosthetics for soldiers returning home from battlefields in Afghanistan or Iraq with missing arms or legs. But even new prosthetics have trouble keeping bacteria from entering the body through the space where the device has been implanted.
You need to close (the area) where the bacteria would enter the body, and thats where the skin is, said Thomas Webster, associate professor of engineering and orthopaedics at Brown University.
Webster and a team of researchers at Brown may have come across the right formula to deter bacterial migrants. The group reports two ways in which it modified the surface of titanium leg implants to promote skin cell growth, thereby creating a natural skin layer and sealing the gap where the device has been implanted into the body. The researchers also created a molecular chain to sprinkle skin-growing proteins on the implant to hasten skin growth.
The findings are published in the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research A.
The researchers, including Melanie Zile, a Boston University student who worked in Websters lab as part of Browns Undergraduate Teaching and Research Awards program, and Sabrina Puckett, who earned her engineering doctorate last May, created two different surfaces at the nanoscale, dimensions less than a billionth of a meter.
In the first approach, the scientists fired an electron beam of titanium coating at the abutment (the piece of the implant that is inserted into the bone), creating a landscape of 20-nanometer mounds. Those mounds imitate the contours of natural skin and trick skin cells into colonizing the surface and growing additional keratinocytes, or skin cells.
Webster knew such a surface, roughened at the nanoscale, worked for regrowing bone cells and cartilage cells, but he was unsure whether it would be successful at growing skin cells. This may be the first time that a nanosurface created this way on titanium has been shown to attract skin cells.
The second approach, called anodization, involved dipping the abutment into hydrofluoric acid and giving it a jolt of electric current. This causes the titanium atoms on the abutments surface to scurry about and regather as hollow, tubular structures rising perpendicularly from the abutments surface. As with the nanomounds, skin cells quickly colonize the nanotubular surface.
In laboratory (in vitro) tests, the researchers report nearly a doubling of skin cell density on the implant surface; within five days, the keratinocyte density reached the point at which an impermeable skin layer bridging the abutment and the body had been created.
You definitely have a complete layer of skin, Webster said. Theres no more gap for the bacteria to go through.
To further promote skin cell growth around the implant, Websters team looked to FGF-2, a protein secreted by the skin to help other skin cells grow. Simply slathering the abutment with the proteins doesnt work, as FGF-2 loses its effect when absorbed by the titanium. So the researchers came up with a synthetic molecular chain to bind FGF-2 to the titanium surface, while maintaining the proteins skin-cell growing ability. Not surprisingly, in vitro tests showed the greatest density of skin cells on abutment surfaces using the nanomodified surfaces and laced with FGF-2. Moreover, the nanomodified surfaces create more surface area for FGF-2 proteins than would be available on traditional implants.
The next step is to perform in vivo studies; if they are successful, human trials could begin, although Webster said that could be years away.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. National Science Foundation funded the research.

Ask Angie: Is it normal for freshly poured concrete to have cracks?
Cracking in freshly poured concrete can be common within the first 30 days. (Photo courtesy of Paul Piontkowski)
Dear Angie: I just had a new concrete driveway poured and the very next morning, several cracks showed up in the concrete. My contractor says that this is normal and will not affect the integrity of the concrete. My contractor had a representative from the material supplier come out and take a look and he also said that this was normal.
I looked at my neighbor's 1-year old driveway, though, and there is not a single crack in it. I elected to hold the final payment until I get a satisfactory answer. What do you think? Is this normal? – James B., Chicago.
Dear James: Unfortunately, cracking is pretty common in concrete, especially during the first 30 days, while it's curing – or setting up. If a contractor does it right and the conditions are ideal, the cracks can be virtually unnoticeable from plain view, except the homeowner's prudent eye.
There are a number of reasons why concrete cracks. The most common is because concrete shrinks as the excess water evaporates and it hardens. Unfortunately, too often contractors add too much water to the mix – because it's easier to apply – which makes it more vulnerable to cracking. Concrete can also crack if it dries too quickly.
Weather conditions – extreme temperatures, rapid temperature changes or conditions that are too wet or too dry – also play a major factor in how well concrete cures.
Another consideration is if the contractor used control joints and spaced them properly. Contractors place control joints in the concrete with the anticipation that it will crack. Also called "relief joints," control joints are the straight lines or grooves you typically see at regular intervals on concrete sidewalks, driveways and garages. Their purpose is to relieve the pressure that leads to cracking with the cracks essentially forming in those grooves, so that, cosmetically, it's barely discernible.
I recommend you give it a little more time. Concrete takes a good month or so to really set up. By then, the cracks could be undetectable. The method the contractor uses to cure the concrete plays a big role on how well it holds up. Cement requires a moist, controlled environment to gain strength and harden fully. Talk to your contractor about his method to cure the concrete.
It expands and contracts in response to the temperature. If there are fluctuations in the weather during and immediately after the pour, which is known to happen in Chicago, that can also create problems. Contractors must be good judges of those situations to determine when to seal the concrete to reduce the chances of it cracking.
Those many variables alone could have played a factor as to why your neighbor's driveway has no visible cracks.
All that said, if after it cures, the cracking is severe – big enough that you can fit a quarter in the crack – that's an indication of a problem and deserves a conversation with your contractor about an agreeable solution. You were smart to withhold the last payment. I advise homeowners to do that precisely for situations like yours. You now have leverage in case those cracks do become worse instead of better.
If you continue to have concerns about the integrity of the concrete, consider bringing in an independent home inspector or structural engineer to determine if there's a more serious issue.
