KVLY-TV reports the victims are Rod Bolstad of Hillsboro, his sons Jacob and Joel Bolstad, and friends Al Stokke and Willy Huotari.
Essentia Health spokeswoman Holly Gruber says Huotari and Rod and Jacob Bolstad were listed in critical condition Monday, Joel Bolstad was in serious condition and Stokke was in fair condition. They are at Essentia Health-St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth and Essentia-Duluth.

It is simply the most important thing you can do for your high-def experience. SpyderTV PRO by Datacolor is one of our favorite DIY methods and happened to be on display at this years CEDIA EXPO. One of the guys were nice enough to run down the process with us but really there is nothin' to it. Plug in the calibration eye to a computer via USB, stick the device on the TV (or on a tripod facing the projector screen) and follow the step-by-step instructions on the computer screen. That's it and in the end should give you a great calibration.

Green is barely a toddler when her father sells her to Federo, a man who travels around looking for young female children on behalf of a faraway Duke. Taken halfway across the world, not even able to speak the local language, Green is imprisoned in the Pomegranate Court, where she endures a ruthless training program designed to mold her from an innocent, illiterate child into a sophisticated courtesan or concubine for the Duke's court. Various Mistresses teach her the skills a lady needs and punish her cruelly at the slightest misstep or shortcoming. It isn't until Green meets the Dancing Mistress, a catlike "pardine" who ends up teaching her much more than just dancing, that she begins to get a better understanding of the city surrounding the Pomegranate Court — and her real purpose for being there…
As a novel, Green is a mixed bag. There's much to like here, and it isn't hard to see why some readers raved about this book. At the same time, some of its aspects may prevent you from truly enjoying all it has to offer. In the end, I couldn't get over Green's problems, and while I enjoyed some sections of the novel, in the end my opinion wasn't a positive one.
The real star of Green is its eponymous main character. Describing Green as a strong female protagonist doesn't even begin to do her justice. Put through an inhuman training program at such a young age that she ends up having a larger vocabulary in the new language than in her mother tongue, she never loses her focus or her courage for a moment, tackling each challenge head-on and mastering an impressive array of skills, from cooking to martial arts. Rather than being cowed when she meets the "Factor" who runs her training, she refuses to accept the name he bestows upon her ("Emerald"). In an act of rebellion, she takes to calling herself "Green" instead, because she doesn't know the word for "emerald" in her original language. Later in the novel, as her circumstances change, she continues to be a fascinating and deep character.
Another positive aspect of Green is Jay Lake's distinctive and gorgeous prose, something I've come to expect from this author after having read several of his short stories in the past. Take, for example, this paragraph, less than a page after a very young Green meets her first Mistress in the Pomegranate Court:
She was to be my first killing, at a time when I should already have known far better. I would have slain her that initial day, out of simple spiteful anger. It was the work of years to lacquer the nuances of a worthy, well-earned hatred over the fearful rage of the child I was.
Unfortunately a strong main character and lovely prose weren't enough to make this novel work for me. The first section, focusing on Green's training, is probably the best part of the book, but it ends with a plot twist I found highly improbable to say the least. Although there's an explanation that makes it slightly more plausible later on, it almost made me give up on the novel right then and there. Things don't improve much from that moment on. In a later part of the novel, when Green has entered an all-female religious order, the story features some lesbian sex scenes and BDSM-style whipping sessions. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this (on the contrary, as far as I'm concerned), but Jay Lake ruins it by using the truly cringe-worthy euphemism "sweetpocket" for a woman's genitalia and making references to intercourse between minors like Green and the older "Mothers."
Towards the end of the novel, Green improbably gets involved in the fight to save a city she should feel little or no loyalty towards at all. This leads to some unconvincing theological noodling and a rushed and improbable ending that left me frustrated more than anything. I truly enjoyed the first 150 pages or so of this novel, but after a strong start, Green completely fell apart, to the point where I strongly considered giving up on it several times. If not for Jay Lake's beautiful prose and some lingering curiosity about Green's fate, I probably would have ditched this novel long before the end.
Side note: Green is graced by a beautiful and striking cover illustration by Dan Dos Santos, but what may strike some people most about it is the skin color of the protagonist, who is clearly described as having "dark brown" skin in the novel but appears to be distinctly paler on the cover. Regardless, whether this is intentional "white-washing" or not, it's a gorgeous and memorable cover.
In the end, it's hard not to have mixed feelings about Green. Parts of the novel are excellent, while others are so poorly executed that it almost makes you forget about the good bits. Unfortunately, most of the better parts come early on, and the poor ones later, so by the time you reach the end of the novel you're left with a bad taste in your mouth. I had high hopes for this novel, based on Jay Lake's excellent short stories, but after turning the final page, I felt mostly disappointed that Green didn't deliver on its early promise.

Did you get wind of top story on thisisgrimsby?
Posted: February 11, 2013|
What would you think was the most-read story on www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk last week.
Columnist Simon Faulker reveals all in his Simon Says column in today's Grimsby Telegraph.
Comment on this part of his column below - and read his column in full in today's Telegraph.
A COMMON criticism of local newspapers is that they are full of bad news.
Readers often complain of a never ending diet of car crashes, crime and vandalism.
And yet as journalists we instinctively believe that it is bad news which sells newspapers.
Are we correct? Once upon a time this was an unanswerable question.
But not any more. the prevalence of newspaper websites allows us to see which stories are capturing the public's attention.
And last week, one story in Grimsby stood head and shoulders above the rest.
It was not the article about the motorcyclist fighting for his life after a serious accident on Chelmsford Avenue.
Nor was it the much publicised Commons debate on whether to legalise gay marriage.
No, the story which had you discerning news junkies flocking to our web page was the brief dispatch about somebody breaking wind in the public gallery at Grimsby Magistrates' Court.
On one day it achieved four times as many hits as the next most read story, garnered views from more than 21,000 unique users in total and even appeared in the Sunday Times.
Well, at least we now know what stories you really like.

Six groups consisting of diverse private and public institutions, including universities, pharmaceutical companies and environmental organizations, will collaborate on projects in ten countries that address biodiversity conservation and the promotion of sustained economic activity through drug discovery from natural products. Support for this program will total approximately $3.5 million per year over the next five years, shared among the NIH, NSF, and USDA. The Fogarty International Center, the international arm of the NIH, both administers the program on behalf of the sponsoring agencies and contributes to it along with NIH's National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute on Drug Abuse, and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
These investments, in part, represent the U.S. Government's commitment to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone, enhance scientific capacity in developing nations, and promote conservation of biodiversity through sustainable development.
Projects include the selection and acquisition of natural products derived from biological diversity as potential therapeutic agents for diseases such as cancer, AIDS, parasitic diseases, drug addiction, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease, all of which are of concern to both developed and developing countries. Other important components include discovery of safe new agents for crop protection and veterinary medicines, examination of traditional medicine practices, development of long-term strategies to ensure sustainable harvesting, biodiversity surveys and inventories, training and infrastructure support for host-country scientific institutions, and establishing a market valuation system for non-timber forest products.
Intellectual property agreements are negotiated among participating institutions so that economic and other benefits from these discoveries are equitably shared and accrue to local institutions and communities involved in the discovery of the natural product. Contributions from pharmaceutical and agroscience companies include screening for therapeutic potential, training opportunities, equipment donations, financial support, and royalties from the sale of any product developed as a result of ICBG research.
In announcing the awards, FIC Director Gerald T. Keusch, M.D. said "Although natural products have formed the basis of medicinal therapies throughout this century, research interest has resurged internationally in recent years as a result of technological advances and the rapid disappearance of organisms from which new medicines may be derived. The ICBG program not only demonstrates the potential of interagency cooperation, but the importance of collaborative research between the U.S. and our scientific partners in less developed nations."

New Luxury
By: Pam Danziger
Posted: May 3, 2007, from the May 2007 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 6 of 7Luxury Lesson #8—Luxury consumers exhibit differences of degree, not of kind
The differences we find within the luxury market are primarily behavioral, not motivational. Behaviorally, different luxury consumers might buy more or less of a certain type of luxury product—for example, the more affluent buy more luxuries and spend more when they do simply because they can—but as far as the motivations for buying luxury go, the differences are minor because all luxury consumers up and down the income scale gain their greatest luxury thrills from experiences.
Unity Marketing's latest study of the luxury market examines and compares the 40-and-under and the over-40 luxury consumers. The report, Generations of Luxury, details what the young luxury consumers want and how their tastes and perspectives differ from the over-40 set. It includes eight key trends that distinguish the young affluents from the more mature, as well as the marketing implications of these trends for luxury brands.
Young affluents—roughly corresponding to the Generation X and Millennial generations—will play an increasing[ly] important role in the target market for global luxury marketers over the next ten to twenty years, not just in the United States (median age 36.5 years) or in the European countries where the median age [is] around 40 years, but in the developing luxury markets, like Brazil (median age 28.2 years), India (24.9 years) and China (32.7 years), where the population as a whole is more youthful.
The global luxury market is going young, so luxury marketers must learn to think young in order to survive and thrive. Global luxury marketers have gotten used to the passions and nuances of the maturing baby boomers, after years of targeting this generation. Now they have a new challenge to appeal to the young affluents who have different ideas about luxury and different priorities in how they spend their wealth.

Vinnie Jones, best known to mainstream audiences as the bad guy in most Guy Ritchie and/or British films, has been caught cheating on his wife of 18 years, Tanya Terry, with a 25-year-old blonde singer, Lama Safonova.
The Daily Mail has photos of Vinnie and Lama kissing in the streets of Moscow, together with a report from the local media about the two partying together at the same club and then continuing the party in private, in his hotel room.
Admittedly, the football star turned actor, picked up Lama and then had a fling with her, but the tab doesn't mention whether it lasted longer or was just a one-night stand.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, Jones admits to his mistake but insists that nothing is as it seems – not even photos of him passionately kissing Lama on the mouth.
If anything, this whole "scandal" is a set-up, either by the media or by the young Russian singer herself, he seems to imply.
"I am humiliated, embarrassed and very sorry for this incident. It was a complete set-up, the whole thing," Jones says.
"I totally love my wife Tanya and my two children. I am very sorry and my only concern right now is them," the star adds.
The photo attached to this article is one that Lama herself posted online, presumably after meeting Vinnie. Right now, the Mail remarks, she seems to be enjoying her newfound fame while refusing to talk about the incident to which she owes it.
"Her boyfriend was the interpreter so it's just a joke. I've seen [the pictures] I know what they look like. I met her for 15 minutes, just went for a drink at the party and that was it," Jones says of how he came to party with the stunning blonde.
"She was there and my interpreter introduced me to her as his girlfriend. His name was Oliver," he adds.
As for the reason he and Lama shared the cab to his hotel, Jones says that here too is one big freaking coincidence.
"We got a lift back to the hotel because we were staying in the same hotel – that was the stitch-up. When we got to the hotel, the boyfriend was in the foyer," he says, adding that the boyfriend simply "disappeared" from the club.
The Mail notes that Jones' wife is "mortified" by what has transpired in the press and is even thinking of taking the kids and leaving Vinnie.
*[Update, October 15, 2012, later]: Below is a video of Vinnie kissing the Russian singer. Does it look like a set up to you? Let us know in the comments section below.

BlackBerry announces new entry-level 9720 smartphone
BlackBerry today announced the new BlackBerry 9720, although the device should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the countless amount of leaks over the last few months. The BlackBerry 9720 will be an entry level smartphone running the now dated BlackBerry OS 7.1.
BlackBerry is struggling, big time, there is no denying that, but their latest smartphone may very well be one of their best to date, considering BlackBerry's strength in the lower end smartphone market. The new BlackBerry 9720 is basically a Curve device and comes with a 2.8-inch HVGA touch display, an 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, a 5MP rear camera and a 1,450mAh battery. The BlackBerry 9720 features the latest BlackBerry OS 7.1 with some UI enhancements that will allow users to swipe the screen to unlock it and access the camera straight from the lockscreen. Included is a dedicated BBM key which should give avid texters quick access to the application.
The BlackBerry 9720 is set to go on sale over the next few weeks in key markets in Europe, Asia and Africa in five unique colours, although exact pricing hasn't been confirmed.

Distribution Transformers
Distribution Transformers convert high-voltage
electricity to lower voltage levels acceptable for use in homes and
Electrical energy is passed through distribution
transformers to reduce high-distribution voltage levels down to end-use
levels. Nearly all energy used in the United States passes through at
least one distribution transformer before being consumed by an end-use
appliance, motor, or other piece of equipment. Transformers are found in
all sectors of the economy: residential, commercial, and industrial.
Distribution transformers are generally categorized in several ways:
type of insulation: liquid-immersed or dry-type
number of phases: single-phase or three-phase
voltage level (for dry-type): low or medium
General Purpose Distribution Transformers
They are generally
used for supply appliance, lighting, motorized machine and power loads
from electrical distribution systems. They are either ventilated or
totally enclosed, and are available with either aluminum or copper
windings in standard ratings from 50VA up to 750 kVA.
Non-Linear (K-Factor) Distribution Transformers
The use of electronic equipment has continued to
grow in both offices and industrial plants. Offices now include
computers, fax machines, copier, printers, cash registers, UPS's and
solid-state ballasts. They all contribute to the distortion of the
current waveform and the generation of Harmonics. The K-Factor
transformer are designed to tolerate the harmonic distortion associated
with these loads.
Energy Efficient Distribution Transformers
These distribution transformers are energy efficient,
dry type, general purpose transformers to meet NEMA TP-1 specifications.
In the past several years, there has been an accelerated rate of change
to introduce energy efficiency standards for transformers. Many products
have preceded the initiatives for transformers in an overall effort to
optimize manufactured goods for environmental concerns. Governments are
encouraging users to consider energy efficient products like dry type
transformers, in an effort to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In
addition to the benefits to the environment, energy efficient
transformers also can realize substantial savings in operating costs
thereby have a direct impact on the initial investment evaluated over a
period of time.
Distribution Transformer Basics
Copper or aluminum conductors are wound around a
magnetic core to transform current from one voltage to another. Liquid
insulation material or air (dry-type) surrounds the transformer core and
conductors to cool and electrically insulate the transformer.
Since small distribution transformers do not generate
much heat, a higher proportion of theses tend to be dry-type. Dry-types
are less flammable, and are therefore often selected for use when they
must be located in confined spaces on a customer's premises.
Distribution transformers are used in electric power
systems. The final part of the distribution system at medium voltage are
the distribution transformers. Due to the Iow impedance voltage, this
type of power distribution transformer will not substantially limit the
short circuit current in the case of a fault on its secondary side. It
is therefore common practice that power distribution transformers have
to be type tested to their ultimate short-circuit conditions. Power
distribution transformers may be oil filled or dry-filled.
Manufacturer offers a complete range of power distribution transformers,
which can be certified in one test access very efficiently.
You use a power distribution transformer when you have
no interest in what happens below the LV terminal of the power
distribution transformer. You use a power distribution transformer
element if you are interested in modeling loads or lines on the LV side
of the power distribution transformers. If you have a node with a power
distribution transformer, any loads on that node are assumed to be
applied at the LV side of the power distribution transformer. Modeling
the power distribution transformer give you the benefit of computer
values for secondary voltages, and transformer losses due to series (or
copper) losses and due to no load (or core energization losses.
Transformer Design Characteristics:
Transformers consist of two primary components:
A core made of magnetically permeable material.
A conductor, or winding, typically made of a low
resistance material such as aluminum or copper.
Transformer Loss Basics
Core Losses are constant. Winding Losses increase
exponentially with the square of the load.
A Transformer uses the core's magnetic properties and
current in the primary winding (connected to the source of
electricity) to induce a current in the secondary winding (connected to
the output or load). Alternating current in the primary winding induces
a magnetic flux in the core, which in turn induces a voltage in the
secondary winding. A voltage step-down results from the exchange of
voltage to current, and its magnitude is determined by the ratio of
turns in the primary and secondary windings. A transformer with 50
primary turns and five secondary turns would step the voltage down by a
factor of 10, for example from 13,500 volts to 1,350 volts.
A given transformer's energy output is lower than the
level specified by the nameplate rating due to inefficiencies in both
the core and the windings. In general, transformer losses are less than
two percent of the total transformer load.
The magnitude of the losses is dependent upon the
loading of the transformer. Core losses remain constant while winding
losses increase with the square of the load. Thus, for a transformer
with an average load of 25 percent, the core losses may represent
approximately 75 percent of total energy losses. Conversely at 100
percent of rated load, the winding losses may represent more than 80
percent of total energy losses. Thus, core losses make-up a greater
share of total losses at lower transformer loads, while the winding
losses make-up a greater share of total losses at higher transformer
Many different distribution transformer designs are
available, depending on the loading patterns and needs of the end-user.
Transformer engineers modify transformer design and vary material
depending upon circumstances. Transformer design includes variation of :
The material used for the core
The material used for the winding.
The material that insulates the core and the
The number of phases of the current that passes
through the transformer.
Mounting and the rated size.
The following describe these factor in more detail.
Core Material
Transformer cores are usually made of either
grain-oriented silicon steel or amorphous metal. Silicon steel comes in
a variety of grades, each with its own conductive and efficiency
characteristics. Amorphous metal, a more costly but highly efficient
material, can significantly reduce core losses. Constructing the core of
laminated sheets, insulated from each other, also reduce losses, but
adds to the cost, weight and volume of the transformers.
The type of core material preferred by a utility is
usually dependent on the cost of its core losses and the expected
transformer loading levels. Since the marginal cost of energy for
electricity utilities is usually rather low, the financial incentive for
moving to high efficiency transformer materials may be limited.
Winding Material
Generally, copper and aluminum are used for transformer
windings. As with silicon steel, these materials are available in a
variety of grades and thicknesses, each with their own efficiency
characteristics. The types of windings chosen by the transformer
designer are also dependent on the cost of a specific utility's losses
and on assumed transformer loading levels.
Insulating Material
The majority of utility distribution transformers are
liquid filled. The non-conducting liquid (mineral oil is
most commonly used) serves to electrically insulate and
cool the transformer. As the core temperature of the
transformer rises, the efficiency decreases, so an
efficient cooling method improves performance.
Typically, transformers perform best at temperatures
below 55 C above the ambient temperature.
Liquid-filled transformers transfer heat more
efficiently than dry-type transformers and are generally
preferred for larger applications. Most liquids used in
transformers now are non-flammable.
Transformers may be designed to step down a single
alternating current from one voltage to another, call
single-phase transformers, or contain three primary and
three secondary windings and therefore provide the
output in three-phases. Three-phase transformers induce
a more constant magnetic flux and output voltage
necessary for motors, heating, ventilating,
air-conditioning and other large equipment. Technically,
the three-phase transformer is equally efficient to the
single-phase transformer.
In the US, over 95% of average annual transformer sales
comprise single-phase distribution units, mostly in the
15kVA to 25kVa range. Since the larger
transformers tend to be three-phase, these comprise 38%
of the total MVA sold each year.
Distribution transformers are either mounted on an
overhead pole or on a concrete pad at ground level.
There is some evidence to suggest that pole mounted
transformers dissipate heat more easily than pad mounted
units and may therefore be more fully loaded.
Correct Sizing
Properly sizing a transformer for a given application
has a significant impact on the overall transformer
efficiency and energy loss level. Oversized transformers
are lightly loaded, and consequently lose more energy
from excess core losses than optimally sized
transformers. Conversely, undersized transformers
operate at higher load levels and experience high load
Energy Losses from New Distribution
A new 50kVA single-phase utility
transformer will produce approximately 70 MWh in energy
losses. An average 1,500kVA liquid-filled three-phase
transformer will produce approximately 1.4GWh in losses
over its life time.
Studies in the US have shown that new,
efficient transformer designs could reduce energy losses
and associated air emissions by 10 percent to more than
40 percent, depending on materials used and the loading
pattern of the transformer.
Advance in transformer design have
produced substantial transformer efficiency improvements
over the past 20 years. The most significant
improvements have been made in core technologies with
the use of high-efficiency silicon-steel and amorphous
metal. Due to the large numbers of transformers in
service and the constant nature of energy losses, only
small increases in efficiency are need to produce
significant economic and environmental gains.
Sources of Transformer Efficiency
Transformer energy losses can be reduced
by improving the efficiency of the core or windings. The
relative importance of core and winding losses depends
on the loading on the transformer and the cost of each
type of loss to the utility.
Core Loss Reductions
Since the majority of transformer losses at low load
levels are due to core inefficiencies, much of the
research on reducing transformer losses has concentrated
on building more efficient cores. Core losses result
from cyclic changes in the magnetic state of iron, and
"eddy-current" losses caused by the flow of small
currents in the iron. Core losses can be reduced by
improving the magnetic permeability of the core material
or by using a core material that offers less magnetic
Considerable progress in reducing core
losses has been made over the past twenty years,
primarily through material improvements. In the early
1970's manufactures introduced more efficient
silicon-steels. The four main grades of silicon-steel
used in transformers are M2, M3, M4 and M6(decreasing in
efficiency). Differences are due mainly to the chemical
composition and the rolling techniques used in
manufacture of the core. The increased domestic
availability of higher grades of silicon-steel (M2 and
M3) and new manufacturing processes has led to the
improved efficiency of silicon-steel distribution
Amorhous metal, a highly efficient
material used in transformer cores, possesses good
magnetic properties, low inherent magnetic resistance
losses, and high resistively. Due to its ability to be
constructed into very thin sheets, "eddy-current" losses
are significantly reduced. Amorphous metals have been
found to reduce core losses by as much as 70 percent.
However, the cost of transformers with more efficient
cores increases due to the following factors:
Increasing core efficiency requires
the use of more core material.
The larger core size associated with
the energy-efficient transformer necessitates the use of additional
winding material, generally resulting in lower winding efficiencies
and other cost.
The thin lamination of amorphous
metal tends to make the core material more difficult to handle.
Certain types of efficient
transformers may encounter specific problems, such as the
difficulties associated with larger and heavier transformer design.
Winding Loss Reductions
Winding losses, or load-losses, arise
from the conducting material's inherent resistance to the flow of
electrical current. Winding losses increase with the square of the
transformer load. Efficiency gains can be achieved by using materials
with lower resistively or greater diameters. For example, distribution
transformer coils made with low resistively conductors, such as copper,
can have considerable lower load losses than those made with other
materials. However, low resistively conductors often cost more than
other conducting material.
Importance of Sizing
Overall transformer efficiency depends
critically on the percent of time that the transformer is heavily or
lightly loaded. the load factor.
Transformers need to be sized to cope
with expected peak loads, rather that average loads, and therefore where
there is a large disparity between these two, the load factor will be
For example, distribution transformers serving primarily
residential loads regularly carry average loads that are only 15 percent
to 20 percent of the transformer's rated capacity but also must be
designed to support peak morning and evening loads. Because of the wide
gap between peak and non-peak loads, and the relatively limited amount
of time that the transformer is peak-loaded, average transformer loading
tends to be fairly low. In this case, total losses may be mainly
attributed to core losses.
Larger distribution transformers, used
more often in transforming power for commercial or industrial customers,
tend to be loaded at higher average levels over the course of the year.
Transformers that serve businesses operating from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm,
for example, typically experience a consistent and relatively higher
load throughout the day. In this circumstance, it is likely that load
losses will make the major contribution to total losses.
Correctly sizing a transformer is
therefore critical to the quantity and source of losses, and optimizing
transformer design for efficiency remains a complex task.
To complicate matters, the marginal cost
of energy varies dramatically throughout the day,
altering the cost of energy losses and the cost-benefit
of installing more efficient transformers from the
utility perspective.
In addition, transformer loading patterns
tend to change over time. Homeowners may accumulate more
appliances and equipment (or new houses built in the
area), or businesses may expand and consequently
increase the load on the transformer. Generally,
utilities estimate load growth when sizing and
purchasing transformers. In the Us it has been
calculated that, on average, utilities size single-phase
transformers so that transformer peak load at
installation is approximately 88 percent of its
capacity, and 157 percent of capacity at the end of its
service life.
In an effort to improve transformer
sizing practices, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency as part of the Energy Star Transformer
Program, has developed technical tools to enable
utilities to enter utility-specific loading information
in order to optimize transformer size and total owning
cost which providing reliability and energy-efficiency.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, I'm trying to raise money for a classroom-in-need to buy some books about neuroscience, using the case of Phineas Gage as a jumping off point. (And if you haven't yet donated, they would be most grateful for even a dollar!) I thought it would be interesting and appropriate to discuss what happened to Mr. Gage and how it impacted neuroscience. It all began when a large piece of metal exploded through his brain.
Phineas Gage was the ultimate average joe–a railway foreman who was laying down track outside Cavendish, Vermont in the fall of 1848. It was on the job that he suffered an extremely traumatic injury to his brain which altered his personality forever. As he was loading a hole with gunpowder, he was distracted and packed it wrong, bringing down an large tamping iron into the hole without the requisite sand. The gunpowder exploded, blasting the 3-foot-long tamping iron straight through Gage's left cheek and out the top of his skull. Amazingly, he survived, but the iron had severely damaged his anterior frontal cortex (there is debate as to both sides, or only the left was destroyed). Despite profuse bleeding, Gage regained consciousness rapidly and after being seen by a Dr. Harlow, seemed to make a full recovery.
You will excuse me for remarking here, that the picture presented was, to one unaccustomed to military surgery, truly terrific; but the patient bore his sufferings with the most heroic firmness. He recognized me at once, and said he hoped he was not much hurt. He seemed to be perfectly conscious, but was getting exhausted from the hemorrhage, which was very profuse both externally and internally, the blood finding its way into the stomach, which rejected it as often as every 15 or 20 minutes. Pulse 60, and regular. His person, and the bed on which he was laid, were literally one gore of blood.
(Continued below the fold…)
Within a few weeks, Gage's personality, which had been described as hardworking, congenial, calm, and respectful, took a turn for the worst. He became uncontrollable.
Gage was fitful, irreverent, indulging at times in the grossest profanity (which was not previously his custom), manifesting but little deference for his fellows, impatient of restraint or advice when it conflicts with his desires, at times pertinaciously obstinate, yet capricious and vacillating, devising many plans of future operations, which are no sooner arranged than they are abandoned in turn for others appearing more feasible. A child in his intellectual capacity and manifestations, he has the animal passions of a strong man. Previous to his injury, although untrained in the schools, he possessed a well-balanced mind, and was looked upon by those who knew him as a shrewd, smart businessman, very energetic and persistent in executing all his plans of operation. In this regard his mind was radically changed, so decidedly that his friends and acquaintances said he was 'no longer Gage.'
Interestingly, while he remembered about half his friends from before the accident, he lost all account of the value of money. When his doctor offered him $1000 for a few pebbles Gage had saved, Gage refused, not seeming to understand if it was a lot or a little.
Due to these changes, he was not given his old job back, but instead worked at Barnum's museum ain New York. He lived another 10 years until he began to suffer from epilepsy and died. He kept the tamping iron with him his entire life, and was buried with it in 1860. His body was exhumed in 1867 to undergo further study, and his skull and the iron reside at Harvard Medical School's Warren Anatomical Museum in Boston.
The case of Phineas Gage is a significant one in neuroscience, facilitated by his unlikely survival of a rather focused traumatic brain lesion. It was the first clear case that damage to the frontal lobes could seriously impact social interactions and behavioral restraint, and his skull is studied to this day in the form of MRI scans and modeling.
Here's a cool and interesting account of Gage's recovery, from the article that originally described it to science, by Harlow in 1848.

Gloria Vignone admits to feeling "bittersweet" about her tour as a nurse in Iraq back in 2006-07.
"Sometimes when you are here, you want to be there, and vice versa," the Franklin, Ma. native was saying earlier this month. "The camaraderie with your fellow soldiers is unbelievable. All we saw were trauma cases over there, a lot of blood and amputated limbs. We had one soldier who lost 60 units of blood and he lived. His buddies came in and donated blood to save his life. To know that you helped save a soldier's life is a feeling you never forget."
There were seven boys from the Mikula family who grew up on Dorr Street in Lonsdale and served in the military during World War II.
Peter, Stanley, Edwin, John, Andrew, Frank and Edward are pictured above. The first four brothers are in the top row (left to right) of this photo sent in by Maureen Mikula Dowd, daughter of Peter Mikula. The final three are in the front row, left to right. They were the sons of Maciej and Maryanna Mikula.
PROVIDENCE -- Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin announces a guilty verdict in the trial of Antone Williams.
Williams, formerly of Pawtucket, was found guilty Thursday by a Providence County Superior Court jury of assault with a dangerous weapon, commission of a crime of violence with a firearm, carrying a pistol without a license and firing into a crowded area. The jury's verdict concluded a three-day trial presided over by Superior Court Justice Robert D. Krause.
LINCOLN – For a little over an hour Wednesday night, Rhode Island Commissioner of Education Deborah Gist fielded queries from parents, teachers, Town Council and School Committee members and others about the status of education in town and beyond.
Before that, however, she spent approximately 30 minutes discussing how the Lincoln School District stacked up against others statewide, and how Rhode Island's test scores relate to those nationally and internationally.
PAWTUCKET — It's just a study at this point, but an educational building consultant hired to evaluate the conditions of the city's schools told the School Committee Tuesday night that all of them need to be either revamped or replaced to the tune of almost $153 million.
PAWTUCKET — Cumberland resident Jocelynn White will never forget one of her first assemblies as a "Books Are Wings" volunteer.
Two years ago, she and President Monique Renaud — also White's aunt — decided to bring in a professional storyteller to read to children during a "BAW" Book Party at the city's Fallon Elementary School.
After the duet had given to students the books of their choice, she was stunned at her observation.
PAWTUCKET — A fire heavily damaged a two-family house at 747 Main. St. on Monday night and displaced six tenants.
Fire Capt. Steven Parent, the city's fire marshal, said the call came in at around 9:30 p.m. He said the blaze apparently started on the third floor of the two-family house in an area that functioned partly as an attic and also contained bedrooms that were part of the second floor apartment. He said the fire burnt a large section of the roof and caused damage to the third floor.
PAWTUCKET — The Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket is embarking on a $6 to $7 million expansion plan for its facility on Moeller Place, thanks to the City Council's approval of a land conveyance request.
On Wednesday, the City Council voted 8 to 0 to approve a resolution to convey about a 9-acre portion of the 20-acre city property adjacent to the Boys & Girls Club's existing facility off School Street to the organization for the sum of one dollar.
LINCOLN — Caroline Moore seemed to know immediately she had added a "u" where it didn't belong.
In the seventh round of the annual Rhode Island Spelling Bee Championship held Saturday morning at the Lincoln Middle School auditorium, the Wheeler School eighth-grader had just been asked to spell "thoroughbred."
The Times hasn't received any photos yet for its March 21 Military Page. That means this is a good week to send in a photo of your favorite military hero, whether active, deceased or just an aging veteran.

Most veterans know that the Disabled American Veterans organization exists. Many of them do not know that the DAV can be their best friend and a major advocate when they seek benefits later on in life from disabilities that can be linked to their time in the U.S. military.
"The sad part is a lot of veterans, especially Vietnam veterans, don't know what's available to them (in terms of benefits from the Veterans Administration)," said Rick Vaccari, a DAV supervisor.
PAWTUCKET — Following a several months' long undercover investigation by Pawtucket Police, two women were arrested on prostitution charges at two local massage parlors/spas.
PAWTUCKET — A city long known for its prodigious use of radar details to capture speeders is considering following Providence's lead and installing cameras at traffic signals to catch red light scofflaws.
At Wednesday's City Council meeting, Rick Ledford, vice president of sales for Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) outlined how the camera system works as both a means of improving the safety at intersections and generating revenue from fines.
PAWTUCKET — About 20 pro-life supporters, many carrying handmade signs, attended a rally Thursday morning in front of the former Pawtucket office of Congressman David Cicilline to protest his vote against the Pence amendment that would have halted federal funding to Planned Parenthood.
PAWTUCKET — Convinced that there were no other realistic options to avoid the state taking over control, the City Council voted 7 to 1 Wednesday night to allow for the borrowing of up to $11.6 million in Tax Anticipation Notes (TANs) to address its current fiscal year budget deficit.
CUMBERLAND — Three local men who allegedly committed the Overhill Road home invasion last month in which a 66-year-old man was injured are in custody after what police called "an intense investigation."
Christopher Duffy, 18, Kyle English, 20, and Christopher Pascale, 22 — all Cumberland residents — are facing a combined 17 charges, including assault on a person over 60, assault with a deadly weapon in a dwelling house, robbery, conspiracy and receiving stolen goods — a .45-caliber handgun that belonged to the owner of the home.
PROVIDENCE — Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien liked a lot of what he heard from Gov. Lincoln Chafee's first major presentation — a combined State of the State address and budget speech.
"It means $800,000 for Pawtucket this year and $1.6 million next year," Grebien said in the House of Representatives chamber after the governor spoke. "It comes with some strings attached, but in this tough economy, this benefits the city and education."
PROVIDENCE — Just days after Col. Brendan Doherty announced his resignation as Superintendent of the State Police, Gov. Lincoln Chafee has selected U.S. Marshal Steven O'Donnell as his replacement.
Chafee introduced O'Donnell as "a leader who has not only met expectations, but continuously exceeded them during a long and distinguished career." He recalled that, in 1996, then-President Bill Clinton named O'Donnell as one of the nation's 10 "Top Cops."
PAWTUCKET — David Lemmel and his seven-year-old twins — David Jr. and Faith — had just strolled out of the city's YMCA when they heard the commotion occurring down the hill. Wondering what the hubbub was about, they chose to investigate.
Not quite an hour later, little David — wearing a Boston Celtics' hat and green T-shirt under his winter jacket — found himself break-dancing on Roosevelt Avenue. That came at the behest of Pawtucket native Paris Fisher, who knows the boy from Underground 101, a youth ministry group out of the North Providence Assembly of God.

Live Scoring
Final Team and Individual Results
MELBOURNE, Fla. -- Turning in the second-best team score of the day, the Wisconsin women's golf team shot 2-over par, 290 Tuesday afternoon and held on to third place with 289-302-290=881 at the Knights and Pirates Invitational, just four strokes off the champion and host UCF.
The Badgers turned in performances in Melbourne, Fla., Monday and Tuesday that rank among the top all-time in program history. The team's first round score of 289 ranks as the fourth-lowest all-time for a single round in team history.
Additionally, the team's two-round score of 591 tied for the sixth-best score in team history through 36-holes. The Badgers also turned in the program's fifth-best 54-hole score all-time at 881.
Redshirt freshman Kimberly Dinh led the charge for Wisconsin, shooting 1-over par for the day Tuesday, which followed a 3-over par performances through the first 36 holes. At 2-over par 71-74-73=218, Dinh had her best tournament finish as a Badger tying for third overall, just five strokes off the lead of champion and Texas Tech Aggie Deborah Devilla.
Dinh, who birdied three holes Tuesday, birdied 10 holes overall through the tournament.
Having already set a new personal 36-hole best Monday, Dinh also shattered her previous 54-hole best by five strokes. Dinh's third place finish is the highest for a Badger at a tournament outside of Madison since junior Lindsay Danielson placed second at the Lady Buckeye Invitational last April 17.
Danielson meanwhile used a superb final round to surge 10 spots in the final standings Tuesday. Danielson finished tied for 15th with 72-79-72=223 after shooting an even par through the final 18 holes. Danielson also shot for par through the first 18 holes, followed by a +7 performance through the second round to finish at +7 overall.
Sophomore Kris Yoo also shot for par Tuesday and also surged 10 spots to match Danielson at 15th place and 7-over par overall. Yoo had previously turned in +2 and +5 performances through the first two rounds.
Sophomore Alexis Nelson, who finished play Monday in fourth place, slipped a few spots in the final round with a +9, 81 performance. Nelson, who had shot for par through the first 36, finished the tournament +9 overall, good for 21st place.
Freshman Aaren Ziegler, competing as an individual, turned in her best round of the tournament Tuesday, shooting +3, 75 Tuesday to finish at +16 overall.
Meanwhile, after a tough first two rounds, senior Jessie Gerry found her stride Tuesday, jumping 12 spots with a +1 performance that featured five birdies. Gerry finished the tournament at +20 overall.
The Badgers now head to French Lick, Ind., April 27-29 for the Big Ten Championships. Wisconsin faced three other Big Ten squads at the Knights and Pirates Invitational, with Purdue finishing at 4th overall, Michigan grabbing a tie for 5th and Illinois coming in at 7th.
