Erica Vail: Going the Distance
If you are a student who has taken an online class or a faculty member teaching one, Erica Vail has made your life at BBC&S easier in untold ways.
As the Distance Education Facilitator, Erica plays a valuable role in the implementation of online learning.
With a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State University, and a keen interest in the philosophy and design of online learning strategies, Erica is focused on helping students and faculty at BBC&S. She is also committed to doing her part in advancing excellence in biblical higher education.
I am the Moodle girl. Moodle is the learning management system we use. I train the faculty on how to use it and I facilitate an orientation course for students so they know how to use the system before they begin their courses. This way the technology is not a distraction to their learning.
I want people to use technology, but not just for the sake of using it. It is not just about using the technology; it is about enhancing our students' learning experience and connecting with the 21st century learner. They don't just use pen and pencil anymore; they need to be engaged by technology. My goal for the school is to be able to keep up with learners and for the online program to grow.
The Distance Education Department offers training on the technology, and also in the philosophy of online learning we adhere to. It is really important you have interactive activities that go along with online assignments. And because we are also Education Technology, we try to implement new technology in the classroom as well.
I have always been fascinated by human behavior. I took a psychology course in high school and fell in love with it. Now I am going in an education direction, but there is a strong link between psychology and education. Understanding how students learn and how they think is important in instructional design. I am very pleased these two areas are coming together.
When I came to BBC&S, I was overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and by the environment on campus. I started to grow spiritually, and it wasn't like a job anymore. I still didn't expect my job to go very far, but I was given the opportunity to step into this position. I have never felt more like God put me into a position to do something more than I do here. It was a door that opened, I went through it, and I never looked back.
I love everything about BBC&S. I have built many great relationships with the faculty and staff. I have experienced authentic Christianity here and seen it played out in the lives of the people I interact with everyday. I like academia, and enjoy supporting the faculty, being able to encourage them, and be encouraged by them.
I maintain a blog to keep faculty members up to date with online learning news and helpful tips. It started as a newsletter I sent out every Monday, but a blog made it easier to search for key words and tips. It is designed for BBC&S faculty, but I want to contribute to the Moodle community. Anyone who needs help can find it there. I do free training for schools or churches using Moodle for the first time because when I started using it I received a lot of help from other people in the "Moodle Community." I want to do the same for other newcomers.
I am busy a lot of the time, but I like doing simple things like hanging out in cafes. A lot of interesting conversations come up there, and I love one-on-one communication. I like interacting with people and building relationships. I also like to follow current events; you could say I am a news-junkie. I also love board games and education games.
I would be happy being a Distance Education Facilitator for the long term. I am pursuing a Master of Science in Learning Design and Technology at Purdue University online. Once I receive my degree, I would like to possibly be an adjunct professor in the Counseling program, or maybe get involved in the counseling center here on campus, alongside my role in Distance Education.

For more than a year I've also had problems logging in when I use mozilla firefox. (I can use internet explorer and I am never logged out, but I don't trust all the junk that internet explorer lets through our security so I only use it to log into work sites, since they require internet explorer)
So, here's how I do it:
find the forum I want
click on log in
it opens a box that says LOG IN OR REGISTER TO COMMENT
I can't click on log in, it won't work
what I CAN click on is register, so that's what I click on
then it opens another box that says Register for FREE access to boston.com
below this you're supposed to enter your name, etc. BUT if I do that it says I already have a log-in, blah blah.
So I go to the blue shaded box on the right, enter my login username and password (actually, it's usually already filled in) and then click on login
and that takes me to another page that says You are now logged into boston.com and then you press continue
and that will get you way OUT to the Boston Globe's main website. So you have to click on lifestyle (on the blue banner), then click on forums, then choose confidential chat (or weddings, or moms, or whatever)
So there you have it, my personal convoluted way to log in, which I do each and every time I come to this site.
It should work for you, kargiver, and for toytrumpet and anyone else.
I tried to complain by hitting the key that says "log in issues? click here" - so I clicked there, and after many days the email said I had to register to use it, so I should go ahead and register. Sigh, which I did about 7 years ago and it won't let me do it again. And anyway, I don't want to change my codename, etc. I have no faith in boston.com to fix these, they talked about fixing it years ago when it first broke, and they still haven't.
but at least I've figured a 'work around'!

Rediplan is the name given to the Australian Red Cross Emergency Services teams. The Sunshine Coast first Rediplan team consists of eight dedicated people from various walks of life who are ready and prepared to drop everything and head off to any current emergency.
Occasionally there is no time and one is given 2 hours to collect one's things, arrange the mail, the dog, notify people and be at the Brisbane airport within two hours! Or 30 minutes to be at a local bushfire. Both scenarios have happened to me.
The team has been trained to deal with various situations and regularly attends sessions to keep all their training up to date. A bag is packed and all members are ready to be deployed to any activation that may occur anywhere in our State.
After 15 or 16 hour days in the field it is time to relax and unwind prior to the next day's onslaught. The work can be emotionally draining and the camaraderie and light hearted evenings experienced in the off hours are essential to the wellbeing of the team.
And at the end of the activation the whole group celebrates by going to dinner and sharing their stories.

By Aroha Awarau on 25th February 2014, in Weekly People, Your Stories
Torn between her two children, Dee Orr faced the most heartbreaking ordeal that any devoted mother would ever have to face.
Dee, heavily pregnant when her eight-year-old daughter Paige was undergoing chemotherapy for leukaemia, was forced to leave her daughter's side to give birth.
The Napier mother went into labour in Paige's hospital room at Starship Children's Health in Auckland as Paige was fighting for her life, recovering from another gruelling round of chemotherapy.
Remembering that moment in June 2012, when she was forced to abandon her very sick child to give birth to another, was the most gut-wrenching experience of Dee's life.
"Paige was very sick. I had just finished showering her and put her back to bed. She was falling asleep when my contractions started and I went into labour," explains Dee.
"I had warned Paige that if she woke up and I was not by her side, then I had probably gone to have the baby. I told her not to panic and that I loved her very much."
Dee (32) was confined to the maternity ward for a couple of days and wasn't allowed to see Paige – torn between two children that equally needed their mother's love.
"No mother should have to choose – that was the hardest part. You've got one child whose whole life depends on you and you've got another whose fate was in the hands of the doctors."
Now 10, Paige is in remission. Dee is acknowledging her daughter's battle with cancer by fronting a national campaign, the Shave for a Cure television and newspaper advertisements, to promote the work of Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. To raise funds for the cause, Dee shaved her head in her daughter's honour.
"It's unfair what these kids have to go through."
The ordeal started for the close-knit Napier family when Paige began suffering flu-like symptoms in April 2012. Doctors immediately identified that she was suffering something far more serious than a cold and sent her to hospital for tests.
She was eventually flown to Starship Children's Health where she was diagnosed with leukaemia and began four courses of chemotherapy.
"When we were told the news, my world just changed forever. I cried every day for the first four weeks. You lose all the excitement about a new baby, and planning for everything because you are so worried about your sick child," says Dee.
The family – which included Jamie Mathers (39), Dee's fiancé and Paige's stepfather, and Dee's stepdaughter Ivy (13) – were forced to put their lives on hold and relocate from the Hawke's Bay to Auckland while Paige received treatment and Dee awaited her new arrival.
"They were flying my daughter to Auckland when I was 32 weeks pregnant. I begged them to put me on the plane. There was no way I was going to send my sick daughter on a plane without her mother by her side."
When Dee finally had her baby, in the middle of Paige's treatment, it was an extremely hard time.
"It made me sick as a mother that I couldn't be in two places at the same time. Paige couldn't hold her baby sister for weeks because Chloe needed to build up her immunity. The two sisters met for the very first time over Skype. It broke my heart."
But, nearly a week after Chloe's birth, Dee was so heartbroken by the separation that she snuck Chloe in to see her big sister. When the two little girls finally met face to face it was a hugely emotional occasion.
"Paige held her little sister in her arms and cried," explains Dee.
"She's been brave throughout the whole ordeal and holding the baby was something she was looking forward to."
After the birth, Paige had one more round of chemotherapy. The proud mother says her daughter fought with all her might and beat the cancer.
"Paige thankfully has something special inside of her that attacked the cancer so fast. Doctors knew after the rounds of chemo that Paige would go straight into remission."
After six months in Auckland, the family returned to Napier and Paige has been fit and healthy ever since.
Almost two years after the ordeal, Paige continues to be cancer free and is enjoying being a big sister to Chloe. And her parents have some more wonderful news – they are expecting another baby, due in a couple of weeks.
Also, Chloe had a big part to play when her parents finally got engaged on Boxing Day.
"I was heavily pregnant and laying on the bean bags in the lounge. Chloe came running in with a ring box and threw the ring at me and went away. Jamie then appeared, got down on one knee, and proposed."
With a wedding to plan and another baby on the way, life has been good for Dee. She's proud of her daughter's strength and bravery, and applauds children who are battling cancer.
"Paige is always energetic, a happy, smiley little girl," says Dee. "She dealt with her illness in an amazing way. Children that go through this are such strong little creatures. We don't give them enough praise for what they can handle."

recommended CD MP3 player?, what works with non-mp3 formats?

I am interested in buying a CD MP3 player, i.e. the kind that can read a data disc, thereby allowing much more music on one disc.
Thanks to foobar, my entire music collection is now either Ogg or MP4
This poses a problem, however. I can't make anyone a data CD and expect them to be able to play it.
Does anyone know of a player that natively supports superior file formats? Better yet, one that supports these formats and can transition from one track to the next smoothly on a data disc?
Cost no object, I just want to know whats out there.

1. What do you mean by 'can read a data disc'?
2. If you are interested on Ogg Vorbis look at iRiver production. I am very happy with mines. Lot of features and high quality sound. iMP 350 (partly) & 400 will support Ogg Vorbis in January 2004. Or look at higher models. http://www.iriver.com.
3. Or you can wait 3-4 monthes. iRiver is going to place on market some models supporting MP4. There were poll on iRivers forum with photos.
Ogg Vorbis for music and speech [q-2.0 - q6.0]
FLAC for recordings to be edited
Speex for speech

You know that both mp4 and ogg are just containers, right?
Both of them can hold audio files coded with several codecs, so you should probably tell what coded you use as well!
* ogg can hold vorbis, flac and speex.
* mp4 can hold aac and mpeg-1 layer 3 (mp3).
When you say CD mp3 player, I guess you mean a standalone hardware player.
If so I am not aware of any. But maybe some portable player have vorbis support?

Information Wants to be Shared, published by Harvard Business Review Press in 2012, takes a fresh examination of the economics of information selling in the digital age.
Parentonomics is the entertaining, enlightening, and often hilarious fruit of Gans' "research" into parenting. Incentives, Gans shows us, are as risky in parenting as in business.
In this engaging text, economic teaching is turned on its head. Specifically aimed at the management or MBA student, Core Economics for Managers covers the essentials but does so in ways that build on and reinforce the student's work experiences.

Romantic Studies Association of Australasia (RSAA)
The Romantic Studies Association of Australasia (RSAA) was founded at the University of Sydney in 2010 to promote the study of the literary, artistic, political, and scientific culture of the 'long' Romantic period (c. 1750-1850) throughout universities, secondary schools, and the general community in Australia and New Zealand.
Hosting a biennial conference and occasional public lectures, readings, colloquia, and workshops throughout the year, RSAA provides a forum for the discussion of British, European, American, and colonial culture of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and invites a wide variety of theoretical approaches to Romantic cultural and intellectual works in all genres and disciplines, including literature and print culture, history, the pictorial arts, music, theatre, religion, philosophy, science, and political economy.

Bobbi Brown Forest Metallics FOTD
Gosh after a LONG time I finally got around to doing the FOTD that was requested when I originally purchased the Bobbi Brown Forest Metallics palette!
You can see my prior FOTD (and review) using the Burnt Sugar Metallics Palette by clicking here.
You can see my first impressions about the palettes by clicking over here.
Ok….I hadn't yet used this palette until this morning and I have to give everyone a fair warning if you haven't used yours or if you are about to purchase this. The warning is this is a very, very, very, very dark palette. Obviously when you see the palette you'll notice how dark the greens are but they go on even darker and it's a bit of a challenge to create a look with this! Not to say I don't love the palette, I most certainly do, however it is a bit hard to work with as the colors are difficult to blend correctly without the entire look looking BLACK. So a word to the wise prior to using or buying this practice caution with your application 😉
What I Used:
Bobbi Brown Forest Metallics Palette
MAC Technakohl in Jade Way
KATE Gel Mascara
KATE Mascara Primer
Kiss Passion New York Division Eye Nuance in 08
MAC Technakohl in Black
Bare Escentuals Glimmer in Lime
Sana Egopri Silver Glitter Mascara Overcoat
10/16/07 18:18 Taryn:
I love it! It looks so dramatic and is a great contrast with your coloring.
What color lipstick/gloss is that? It looks similar to Black Honey.
Now you have me seriously wanting that Forest palette… :-0
10/16/07 18:44 the Muse:
Thanks 😉 You're a doll!
that's actually some lip stain from UD in envious and some shu
Gloss Lacquer in Radical Fuchsia (stuff is like crack for the lips! love it)!
The palette is awesome but damn it's a challenge to apply. Holy cow it gave me major trouble. I have quite a hard hand when applying and this is something you really need to be delicate with otherwise you look like you have a big blob of black shadow on!
Great palette though for sure!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the sweet compliments *hug*
10/16/07 18:44 Ann the Queen:
the effect was a little different from what i expected.
maybe i should just get only the burnt sugar palette!
10/16/07 18:46 the Muse:
agreed ann.
I was expecting more drama! how about you?
I tivo'ed bobbi brown on QVC sunday night? And I watched some of it today and she was applying these to a model and boy it looked so boring.
She was using her finger tips and just applying a really light wash of color than she was saying the best way to use the darkest shade was to line your eyes with it.
I was sitting there thinking um $45 per a palette and I'm going to use the dark shade to line my eyes? What the hell.
I do love the palette but I expected a more dramatic look and something that looked a bit more eyepopping green!
10/17/07 4:11 Ann the Queen:
i was expecting the green to really stand out! oh wells! my pocket is now saved from the $72!
p.s. yes it cost freaking $72 for each palette!
10/17/07 4:29 Anonymous:
I like your new page lots of contrast, love whatever makeup you wear regardless, I love you izzy xox
10/17/07 8:15 the Muse:
eep $72 per a palette yak!
It doesn't pop that much so you definitely save some cash by not buying it 😉
I do love it but I too, expected it to be a bit more WOW!
10/18/07 7:41 petitez:
Gosh! Forest isn't what I expected it to be! Too dark for me… But hey, money saved! 😛
10/18/07 7:42 the Muse:
I know..it just didn't pop! Maybe if I use a heavier hand with this but I'm worried it'll make me look bruised!
10/19/07 10:02 petitez:
I think if you use a heavier hand, it'll end up creating a smokey eye effect…
10/20/07 21:44 the Muse:
I'll try with a heavier hand 😉
See how it comes out!

>>Students Return To Class At Normal Community High
(Normal, IL) -- Students at Normal Community High School were back in school today. They were released early Friday after a 14-year old student entered a classroom and shot several rounds into the ceiling. The shooter was tackled by a teacher and detained until police arrived, when he was taken into custody. Students who weren't able to pick up their belongings Friday should go directly to the location where they were stationed during the code red. If their items aren't there, students should go to the main office to search the lost and found or fill out a report.
>>Quinn Honors Fallen Airmen With Illinois Ties
(Troy, IL) -- Governor Quinn honored a fallen U.S. Airman with Illinois ties over the weekend. Quinn awarded Senior Airman Bradley Smith with a Silver Star, the third-highest military decoration that can be awarded to any branch of the U.S. military. Smith was killed by an IED while recovering the body of a fallen comrade in the Kandahar Province of Afghanistan in January 2010. He was raised in Troy, Illinois, and graduated from Triad High School.
>>Rockford Man On Run, Considered Arm, Dangerous
(Rockford, IL) -- A Rockford man is on the run after allegedly shooting a woman to death and then shooting at police as they tried to detain him. Kody Walsh allegedly shot the woman inside his vehicle on a Tollway near South Beloit yesterday. He then led police on a chase from South Beloit to Rockford, where he crashed the vehicle and took off on foot. Walsh allegedly fired at least one shot at officers during the foot chase. Anyone with any information on where Walsh may be should contact the Winnebago County Sheriff's Police at (815) 319-6300.
>>Colorado Men Arrested After Allegedly Robbing Travel Plaza
(Barry, IL) -- Two Colorado men who may be responsible for a cross-country robbing spree were arrested in Pike County, Illinois, yesterday. James Nolf-Crihfielt and Jeffery Skog allegedly walked into the plaza in Barry, Illinois, yielding a screw driver and wire rod. They demanded money from the cashier and made off with about 300 bucks, but not before the cashier got a clear description of their vehicle. The cashier called police who stopped the men near the Griggsville exit on Interstate 72. Police say two similar robberies were reported in Idaho Springs, Colorado, and in Lincoln, Nebraska, earlier this month.
>>Springfield Police Investigating Suspicious Fire
(Springfield, IL) -- The Springfield Fire Department is investigating what it says is a suspicious fire that broke out early Saturday morning at a duplex in the eleven-hundred block of East Miller Street. Fire Chief Ken Fustin says crews were called to the two-unit duplex around 2:45 Saturday morning and found the rear of the home engulfed in flames. Residents in both units were displaced by the suspicious fire. Those who lived in the unit that didn't catch fire were arrested, but Fustin couldn't confirm why.
>>Chicago Teachers Hit Picket Lines
(Chicago, IL) -- Thousands of Chicago teachers were on the picket lines today. They walked off the job this morning after talks between the Chicago Teacher's Union and the school district failed to come to terms on pay raises, health benefits, and longer school days. One of the biggest concerns for teachers is a new evaluation system that ranks teacher performance based on students' standardized test scores. CTU President Karen Lewis says that performance measure could put thousands of teachers out of work in the next few years. The two sides are expected to meet sometime today.
>>Trial Begins For Man Accused Of Shooting
(Springfield, IL) -- Jury selection is scheduled to get underway today in the trial of Jesus Ramirez, a Springfield man accused of attempted first-degree murder after he tried to shoot Springfield and Sangamon County authorities last January. Ramirez led police on a chase that began in northern McLean County and ended near the Stevenson Drive exit off I-55. That's where he allegedly pointed a semi-automatic pistol and tried to fire it at the pursuing officers. Police found 900 grams of cocaine in his vehicle. Ramirez is facing a host of drug, violence and weapons charges in addition to the two counts of attempted murder.
>>Reverse Trade Mission Begins In Illinois Today
(Auburn, IL) -- Grain buyers from 23 nations will kick off a five-day "reverse trade mission" in Illinois today. They're scheduled to visit a corn and soybean farm near Auburn today. Tomorrow they'll head out to see a food ingredient supplier in Mattoon and a crop improvement center in Champaign tomorrow. The visitors will also make stops in Assumption, Joliet, Des Plaines, and Chicago this week. The grain buyers are from several different countries including visitor China, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
>>New Lottery Game Underway
(Springfield, IL) -- A new Illinois Lottery game began yesterday. The "My3" game allows players to pick their favorite numbers without the need to specify what type of wager is being made, like they would in the Pick 3 game. There are two daily "My3" drawings and in order to win the 200-dollars, players must match all three numbers in exact order. Match the numbers in a different order and players win a lesser amount of cash.
>>St Jacob Employees Back For Now
(St. Jacob, IL) -- St. Jacob workers are back on the job after a financial standoff shut down the village for the weekend. The mayor called a halt to all of the Madison County, Illinois town's operations Friday, after trustees couldn't come to an agreement. According to the "Belleville News-Democrat," a special meeting has been called tonight to resolve the issue. The town's police officers and utility workers were back today, but that's pending the outcome of that meeting.
>>Missing Child Found Safe In Bed
(Vera, IL) -- A four-year-old girl reported missing is found hours later, safe in her own bed. The sheriff of Fayette County Aaron Lay says they were called to a home in the small town of Vera last night, when the girl's parents couldn't find her. Investigators searched the home, then began combing the surrounding area, even calling in helicopters. When they returned to the house, the toddler was found in bed in her room. The sheriff says they still have no idea where she had been.

Battered American women who flee home for safety to the USA, most with children, are overwhelmed with the responsibility of finding housing, jobs, food, clothing and so on. Then they have the added stress of financial survival and possible legal complications. They do not take time for much needed self-care, which perpetuates the stress, leading to acute health problems that manifest into chronic health problems later in life. Self-care baskets will help survivors learn preventative care.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The self-care baskets will introduce battered women to simple, yet effective ways, to combat the intense stress they are feeling. Meditation CD, essential oils for inhalation, candles, affirmation cards and a journal will gently begin a self-care practice. This in turn will make them more mentally available for their children, be able to cope with their situations and hopefully, prevent acute and chronic health care problems.
How will this project solve this problem?
Twenty battered women who have fled violence and returned to the USA will receive self-care baskets. We want them to begin a self-care practice amid the stressful, and sometimes overwhelming, responsibilities of finding housing and jobs and being single parents with little chance of financial support from their abusers. Beginning a self-care practice is vital to survivors mental, emotional and physical well being.
Potential Long Term Impact
The project serves 500 women per year empowering them to find alternatives to a life of violence so their children grow up in violence free homes with their self-esteem in tact with the hope of stopping the cycle of violence in future generations. By helping them establish a self-care practice, survivors of violence can be better parents, prevent health issues and be more productive in their lives.

Before SHoP's Domino Sugar Plan, Brooklyn To See Urban Farming and Bikes
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
While Two Trees still needs to make it through the ULURP process before breaking ground on its SHoP Architects-designed mixed-use development for the Domino Sugar site on the Brooklyn Waterfront, the developer has just announced plans for Site E, a vacant parcel on the corner of Kent Avenue and South 3rd. A large section of the 55,000-square-foot lot will be dedicated to a community green space run by North Brooklyn Farms that will host a range of Brooklyn-friendly activities and classes from yoga to urban farming. And on the western side, there will be a bike course, organized by New York City Mountain Bike Association, with areas for riders of all levels. This new urban farm-meets-bike recreation spot will open to the public in May and close once construction commences on the development.

They work together, share food and send their elders into battle to protect the young. And the world authority on them thinks they have a lot to teach us. J.M. Ledgard goes to Harvard to discuss ants, and more, with E.O. Wilson
From INTELLIGENT LIFE Magazine, Autumn 2010
What do you think about when you think about ants? An aerial view perhaps, looking down at a line of ants moving along a trail. Go closer. If you stay with it, your view may twist, your ants grow, become singular, each an alien creature, somehow militarised. As primitives we ate them, they were our crunch, and now they are lodged in our subconscious. We know their noise in the soil, even if we do not acknowledge it. The mandibles dominate, snipping, giving the ant its name in Old English, "aemette", from the proto-Germanic ai mait, meaning to cut away, or to cut off. Even in that early time in Anglo-Saxon lands there was a grim sense of ants swarming, and now we know that army ants move in waves of a million or more, eating through anything in their path, someone staked and tied to the ground, for instance.
The blank eyes, the glands under the jawbone secreting pheromones that signal alarm, laid down by foraging ants and reinforced by following ants to show the shortest possible route to a source of food. The antennae, cantilevered at the elbow, twitching at speeds our eye cannot follow. The slender waist, the shimmer and bristle of the exoskeleton, red or black, metallic, so that the ant corpse rots from within, leaving the armour intact. Whereas we are jellies, prick us and do we not bleed...? One way or another, when we think about ants, we tend not to think they are a part of us, or that they have something fundamental to say about us. But they probably do.
It all started with a poke in the eye for a seven-year-old boy, out fishing in Alabama. It was 1936, and Ed Wilson's parents had just divorced, leaving him lonely and introspective. When he pulled up his rod, a pinfish swung into his face and its spine blinded him in one eye. The accident had lasting repercussions. If Wilson had been sighted in both eyes, he might have been drawn to the megafauna, or passed fit for the United States Army and killed in Korea, or otherwise diverted from being an exceptional young biologist. As it was, he came to be reliant on what he could see up close and through a microscope and so was ineluctably drawn to the microfauna.
E.O. Wilson is the ant man. Over six decades at Harvard University he has discovered more about ants than anyone else in history. He has thrown into relief for the general public just how important ants are—how they represent 25% or more of the insect biomass on the planet, how collectively they weigh more than all the humans in the world, how they assist humans by aerating the soil, suturing wounds, or, as in South Africa, harvesting the rooibos seeds for farm workers to collect. And how ancient they are: in 1966 Wilson and his colleagues identified an ant in a shard of amber that was 80m years old. Ants emerged along with flowering plants 130m years ago. By contrast, the genus Homo diverged 2m years ago, has existed as Homo sapiens for a fraction of that time, with a civilisation of 20,000 years or so.
Wilson arrived at Harvard from the University of Alabama in 1953 and proved his mettle by traversing the tropics in search of undiscovered ant species. He helped uncover the diversity of ants in Amazonia and in the Orinoco basin. He was one of the first outsiders to climb the remote mountain ranges in Papua New Guinea, gathering ants and frogs in the chill mists. His studies were so thorough they laid the groundwork for the new field of biogeography. Every summer he set out, and every autumn he returned to Boston, studying the ants under the microscope into the winter, mapping all the features down to the talons on the claws of each of the six legs, and the milky sacs in the body of a queen which she would draw on for ten years or more.
None of this would have amounted to much in the eyes of the outside world had Wilson not got into the behaviour of ants and from there into comparisons with human nature. He has written 24 books and 400 scientific papers. Two of his books—"On Human Nature" (1978) and "The Ants" (1990, with Bert Hölldobler)—have won the Pulitzer prize. Tom Wolfe, the American journalist, described him as "Darwin II". I think what Wolfe meant was that Wilson's thinking about the biological basis of social and group behaviour would fundamentally alter man's perception of himself. Wilson contends not just that we are primates, made in nobody's image, but that the same laws of population biology and evolutionary theory that govern behaviour in ants also govern us.
Wilson works at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, where he keeps an office as emeritus professor of entomology and honorary curator of the insect collection. It's between terms when I wander across the Harvard Yard to meet him, and there are not many people on the campus, just a few Chinese taking pictures of each other on the library steps. I press the black lift buttons in sequence, as instructed, to overshoot the museum, the sound of children sidling up to the stuffed sloth, and get to Wilson's floor. When the doors open, there is a smell of mothballs and formaldehyde, reminiscent of mortuaries in poor countries, but everything here is tidy, the smells issue from cabinets and drawers, and there is a calming effect of knowledge, thought and routine. Wilson greets me warmly and insists on showing me around. At 81 he is professorial and grandfatherly at the same time, just as he appears on YouTube. His manners and speech are Southern. "You know biology is a beautifully messy subject," he says, by way of introduction. The "beautifully" is pure Alabama, the flourish of one who likes to tell stories.

In response to IrishMob7's comment:
LOL!!! Is anybody actually mad at this deal? This cripples the Yankees for years. $150M+ for a player who relies on speed and will be in his 30's throughout the whole contract? When will they ever learn?
Forget the money.
The yankees now have an excellent CF for the next 3 seasons - they will worry about years 4 - 7 later.
Meanwhile the Sox have no CF and Beltran is signing with the Royals.
Victorino in CF is not a good option; especially if injuries are a concern
I would think a big deal is in the works via trade. Ben isn't dumb. The farm is loaded with talent and he wasn't going to spend 150M+ on a center fielder in his 30s whose dominant attribute is speed. I can see why people are worried but I would advise that people be patient. In Ben I Trust!
loaded with talent? like maybe one or two guys but tell me how the Sox are loaded with talent in their farm system
Gee, I thought Bogaerts, JBJ, Ranaudo, Webster, Owens, Swihart, Vazquez, Cecchini, Betts, Barnes, Brentz, etc etc were notable prospects? No?

True Talent: Jeremy King of PoitínPosted: 31/10/2013 - 15:46 in Categories Ireland post.
Tags: Literature.
Poitín is an old Irish moonshine, a homemade, incredibly potent whiskey often made with fermented potatoes or malted barley. It's also an Irish folk band based in the Czech Republic, one of the first Celtic music groups to form in the Czech Republic after the Velvet Revolution.
Today, we're here to talk about the latter.
Jeremy King, the band's frontman sat down and talked to us about the band, their influences and what drew him to the art of Celtic folk.
What drew you to the Czech Republic?
Destiny, fate, chance, my mate Tim.
I'd sunk into a bit of a hole after closing my art gallery in Brighton and felt I was just going round in circles instead of going forward. Then one day, my mate Tim asked me what I was doing in the summer- 'Nothing,' I said. 'OK,' he tells me, 'we're going to look after the gardens of a Czech castle and drink lots of beer.' 'Sounds like a good plan,' says I, 'where's the Czech Republic?' I really didn't know much about the place - of course I knew about Prague, but I thought Pilsen (where I ended up living) was in Germany. So we hitch-hiked from Brighton to this castle north of Prague and met up with a group of volunteers from all over Europe who all fancied the idea of messing around in a park, drinking beer, cutting grass, doing the weeding, that kind of thing. It was great. The last weekend we were there, me and my mate Tim headed towards the city lights of Prague to see what we could see. We ended up at a dance party on an island in the Vltava river and that's where I met my future wife. It was magic. I couldn't speak a word of Czech (actually that's a lie, I knew the word for beer- 'pivo'), and she couldn't speak a word of English, but there and then we both knew that we were made for each other. I went back home and told everybody I'd met the person I was going to marry, and Blanka went back to her home and told everybody the same thing. So here I am, in Pilsen in the Czech Republic, playing Irish and Celtic music with a bunch of fantastic musicians in our band Poitín.
Are there any musical influences, traditional or contemporary that you'd say inspire your sound?
We were in the studio the other day and I asked the rest of the band this question. They took it to mean what made them want to play the music we play in the first place. The answers varied from Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield, Solas and even our own first CD (that was Sasha's influence, our whistle and flute player). I'd had a band in Brighton with the very unlikely name of the Bodley Head Ceilidh Band, which played traditional Scottish, Irish and English tunes. This was at the time bands like the Levellers and McDermott's Two Hours (also from Brighton) were starting up. It was a lively time to be in Brighton in terms of folk music. I was listening to folk music from an early age thanks to my Dad's musical tastes. He played blues guitar and banjo and had a record collection which included sea shanties, blues legends like Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, folkies like Woodie Guthrie, Steeleye Span, and the Chieftains. Throw it all in the mix, along with some of my own tastes- Led Zep, David Bowie and obscure 60's psychedelia and that's what made me want to play music.
Have you ever played in Ireland, if so, do you have any stories to tell?
We haven't played there as a band but some of us have played there at sessions and done a bit of busking. From what I hear, it was all good. It would be great to get over there all together at some point.
If you could perform alongside anyone, who would it be?
It would be easy to say the legends like Planxty and the Chieftains, but I have a feeling that I would be too overwhelmed to actually enjoy the experience. I think I'm happiest playing with enthusiastic, friendly, committed and talented musicians whoever they might be. But, come to think of it, I would probably find (given the chance) that the members of Planxty and the Chieftains fitted that description quite nicely....
What is the Czech response to Celtic music, or Irish culture in general?
Well, when you consider that many of the original Celtic tribes actually come from here, you won't be surprised to learn that Celtic music has a place in many Czech hearts. There are some really good annual Celtic festivals here, which we play regularly and the response is fantastic. The festivals aren't just music either, the billing usually includes some of the country's very fine Irish dance companies and culinary delights.
With the name Poitín, we guess you're a whiskey drinker. What's the perfect setting for a whiskey?
You're right, I'm a whiskey drinker. I like to savour it in peace and quiet, so not usually in a pub, but unwinding at home after the day is done, the cat curled on my lap, is a perfect setting.
What would be a perfect gig for Poitín?
I asked the band this one, and the answer was pretty much unanimous. If we could play a festival in Ireland and get a great response from the audience, we would be extremely satisfied.

Latest Betrothal Meaning In English News
Arthur, Prince of Wales, son of Henry VII, first husband of Catherine of Aragon
Image by lisby1
It is difficult to exaggerate the rarity and the importance of this small royal portrait. When discovered it was described by Catherine MacLeod, curator of sixteenth and seventeenth century portraits at the National Portrait Gallery, as 'the only surviving portrait of Arthur that could have been painted within his lifetime,'1 which means that it is one of the earliest surviving easel portraits in British art.
When it was painted the sitter, Arthur Prince of Wales, was heir to the newly-won throne of his father King Henry VII, and was the hope of the country in reuniting the competing dynasties of York and Lancaster after a century of bitter warfare. Not only was the prince, as son of Elizabeth of York and Henry Tudor, the physical embodiment of the new dynasty's legitimacy, but he was also crucially placed on the diplomatic stage. His formal betrothal in 1497 to Catherine of Aragon, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain was the final element in Henry VII's policy intended to guarantee England's security both at home and abroad. His untimely death a year after the marriage was solemnised at St Paul's cathedral in 1501 had consequences that resonate through British history to the present day, as Catherine's subsequent marriage to his younger brother the future King Henry VIII, its want of a male heir and its questionable legality resulted in England's break with Rome and began the English Reformation.
As an example of portraiture in England at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries it is a priceless document. The jewel-like richness of its execution stands comparison with the few known royal portraits that survive from this period, most notably the portrait of the sitter's father King Henry VII (National Portrait Gallery, London) painted some five years later, and in the sympathetic treatment of the subject may be considered superior. Equally impressive is the meticulous and realistic treatment of the fur collar to the Prince's robe, whilst the jewel in the Prince's hat and around his neck are reminders of the opulence and display of aristocratic and royal dress at this period. The painter's preoccupation with the rich applied gilding used in the costume bears comparison with the image of Richard II in the Wilton Diptych (National Gallery, London) painted one hundred years previously. Indeed, although attributed to an unknown Anglo-Flemish painter, the execution has as much in common with the native medieval tradition as it does with the more recent developments on the continent, and suggests the almost miniature scale and original appearance of the lost paintings of the fifteenth century kings now known only through later copies.

Elizabeth was the Traveling Enrichment specialist with the Los Angeles Unified School District and currently teaches at Downey Music Center.
Elizabeth's philosophy about singing is; "If you wanna sing, sing!" There is so much joy in throwing your head back and unleashing a melody. Vocal lessons entail learning proper breath control, exercises to strengthen pitch and delivery and tools to help keep your voice in shape, all while singing cool tunes.
There are a myriad of benefits to taking voice lessons:
*strengthening one's singing voice, and speaking voice.
*building self-confidence,
*improving listening skills and focus
*improving posture
*and specific skills such as: singing through a PA, blending vocals, band communication, counting off a song and much more
*Most of all, it just feels good!

Readership: Clinicians and other professionals in health
and social services. Social science, psychology, nursing and medical students. The police, teachers and policy makers.
Martin Plant, Professor of Addiction Studies, University of the West of England, Bristol, and Moira Plant, Professor of Alcohol Studies, University of the West of England, Bristol
"...if you are looking for a summary of Britain's obsession with alcohol over the ages, including more recent trends and political policies, Binge Britain is a worthwhile read." - British Journal of Psychiatry,
"This book is an easy "good read". It is up to date, informative and broad-based, indeed substantially more broad than the title Binge Britain suggests. The historical perspectives are particularly illuminating." - BMA Medical Book Competition 2007
"This book by two of our national experts on alcohol misuse provides a thoroughly good read that can be tackled cover to cover or dipped into for
its wealth of data and references. It is certainly timely, as binge drinking is rarely out of the media spotlight." - Clinical Medicine, Vol 7, No 1
"...a valuable resource for anyone intending to work in the [alcohol field]." - The Psychologist
"The harm caused to individuals and to society by binge drinking is forcefully laid out in Binge Britain: Alcohol and the National Response. Moira and Martin Plant are clear about the way forward: health education messages are largely futile and often misinterpreted. They argue that we need to stem the cheap supply of alcohol and to increase taxes on alcoholic drinks." -
"With our dependence on alcohol laid bare by this book, it is hard to feel optimistic that the future will bring any moderation of our habits. Drink impinges on the lives of almost all of us and for that reason nurses in all settings will learn something from these provocative pages. Cheers." - Nursing Standard

About the Program
Dan Evans, John Spellman, Mike Lowry and Chris Gregoire: two Republicans and two Democrats. They are bound together by public service and politics. Each was elected as Governor of the state of Washington. What motivated them to seek the state's highest elected office? What were their expectations? What were the harsh political realities? What were their successes? What were their failures? How did unpredictable events and politics affect their time in office? The four former Washington Governors respond to these and other questions in a candid one-hour conversation hosted by KCTS 9's Enrique Cerna.
About the Governors
Dan Evans
Daniel Jackson Evans, a republican, was elected the 16th governor of Washington State in 1964. At the age of 39, Evans became the youngest governor in Washington State history and held the office for 12 years, the only to be elected to three consecutive terms in Washington.

The Governors
Thank you Governors all for your service and your candid comments this evening. I applaud your devotion to this wonderful group of citizens in he the state of Washington. Particularly to Dan Evans, I thank you for your focus on higher education during your Governorship and your comments about the importance of higher education's importance to Washington's future on the program tonight. And we have so much to do, beginning with Headstart and primary eduction. Again thank you.
Absolutely excellent program... Should be required viewing in civics classes in High School (do they still have those???), and at all GOP/DEM meetings. Enrique continues to provide very meaningful programming about local issues...Really missed Booth!!!!

Effective Weight Loss Strategies That Will Work For You - 0 views
started by Irving Dalby on 13 Aug 12
#1 Irving Dalby on 13 Aug 12Have you been feeling down about the way your body looks? Is the thought of weight loss scary and distressing? Have you attempted weight loss in the past and gave up? This guide will help you. Keep reading to find out some smart tips for losing weight, and keep doing it.
You achieve the best weight loss results when you understand everything that works best for your body type and lifestyle. If you are more of a morning person, get up a little earlier and exercise when you first get out of bed. Those who enjoy nighttime can exercise in the later hours. If you do not enjoy going to the gym, consider buying exercise equipment for your home.
Try to maintain a positive attitude. You can try using reverse psychology and only think positive and healthy thoughts about exercising. Over time your brain will start to enjoy your exercise and you will start to look forward to it as well. This helps keep you motivated on days you do not want to exercise.
You must avoid any food triggers you may have. To do so, manage the environments you place yourself in. Limiting contact with foods that trigger you to overeat is essential, so remove unhealthy snacks at home, work and in your car. Close proximity to tempting food will lead you to eating even when you don't really have an appetite.
When dining at a restaurant you should always choose a healthy salad over soups that thick with stew or filled with lots of cream. Regardless, consuming either of these foods will reduce the amount of calories you can consume when your entree arrives.
Eat a balanced diet to lose weight! Reduce the fat content in the foods that you choose to have the best chance for success. Fat can make your digestion slow down, so be careful of the amount you eat. Therefore, try to curb the amount of fats you eat throughout the day.
Make sure to set realistic weight loss goals. It will take more than a couple of days to shed 50 pounds. You will be more motivated if you set realistic goals that you actually have a chance of achieving. This also prevents you from creating a situation where you can't win no matter what you do. Set a reasonable amount to lose, such as a couple of pounds every week.
If you want to keep your lost pounds from returning, lose the weight slowly. You may feel good seeing fast weight loss, but dropping pounds fast is typically due to water weight and this weight loss is not going to stick. Quick weight loss normally leads to gaining back all the weight plus some extra pounds.
In order to assist with weight loss you should consider not working out. These tips apply to people who do not like just going to the gym simply to work out. Instead, do activities that are necessary or that you enjoy, such as hiking, walking your dog, tossing a ball or taking a bike ride. This way, the exercise doesn't seem boring or work-like.
Keep track of the calories you consume. Simply purchase a cheap notebook. Use this notebook as a journal for tracking your food intake. Make a note of not just what you eat, but how much of it, the estimated caloric content, and what time of day you eat it. Doing so will allow you to assess your progress and monitor your eating habits so you can make adjustments as needed.
Unfortunately calories that aren't being used will not suddenly leave our body, instead they will be stored as fat. Therefore, avoid eating if you are not going to have any activity afterwards. Only eat when you know you're still going to be active for a period. This helps your calories get ingested.
Eat baked potato chips instead of the regular potato chip type to reduce fat consumption. This product contains about thirty percent less calories and you should not be able to taste a difference.
Now that you are aware of what can be done to drop weight safely and quickly, all you need to do is to commit to doing it. Do not allow your opportunity to be wasted. Utilize all you have learned, and keep going until you have achieved your ideal weight.
