Milady's Skin Care and Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Milady's Skin Care and Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary, third edition, is a multi-purpose resource for cosmetic professionals and consumers alike. Part one puts cosmetics in the context of skin care. It provides an overview of skin physiology. In order to understand how and why a product works it is essential to understand how the skin works. It gives an overview of the complexity of cosmetic chemistry particularly with respect to product penetration, and highlights the current challenges facing cosmetic formulators. In addition, it offers comprehensive discussion of the various skin types and conditions in order to help professionals in their product selection. Lastly, it defines common cosmetic industry terminology used by cosmetic manufacturers, professional estheticians, marketers and the media. The second part is dedicated to helping cosmetic users identify the function and purpose of specific ingredients. It is an alphabetical dictionary that lists and describes not only active principles but all other categories of ingredients that comprise a skin care cosmetic. As scientific knowledge of skin physiology and cosmetic chemistry advances, so do cosmetic products. This volume puts everything in context in an easy to read, easy to understand, user-friendly format.
The second edition of this thorough reference is an invaluable tool for assessing cosmetic products, addressing both the quality of the product and the effect it has on the skin. Since a product's ultimate purpose is to benefit the skin, it is crucial to have an understanding of how the skin works, how and why a product may or may not penetrate it, and what care individual skin types and conditions may require. It is difficult to discuss product ingredients without correlating product performance to skin function. An expanded section on skin physiology and chemical concepts enables the reader to better understand product performance through a thorough explanation of how chemicals and ingredients interact. The various skin types, conditions, and appropriate ingredients for treatments provide a quick reference to address clients' needs. This enlarged second edition contains over 2,000 ingredients including 200 new and updated entries. Expanded information on antioxidants and their stability, new discussion on aging and sensitive skin, and function of SPF and new sunblock ingredients offering full spectrum sunscreen and sunblock for both UVA and UVB rays has been added.

We have over 12,000 students, from over 100 countries, within one of the safest campuses in the UK

The Networked Learning for Educational Leaders research project studied information and communication technologies as they impact upon networked management learning for educational leaders. The study informed how the Centre for Excellence in Leadership rolls out its own forms of networked learning and shape the sort of advice it can give to others on this issue.
The project examined the relevance and applicability of a range of theories and concepts currently applied within the general fields of organisational and networked learning to the emerging practice and developing theory of networked management learning for specifically educational leaders. The ideas of Communities of Practice, learning networks, networked learning, co-construction of knowledge and related socio-cultural theories or approaches to learning are increasingly pervasive and applied across a wide spectrum of activities and situations. For the most part, however, in their application they retain a view of learning in which the learner is novice moving to expert. It is not immediately obvious, however, that the inherent acceptance of the notions of novice and expert that are reflected in the majority of such theories is necessarily applicable for management learning and development.
The research project studied information and communication technologies as they impact upon learning and the design for learning, focussing upon the core debates emerging about ICT. For example, some studies suggest ICT transforms managerial hierarchies, making them flatter and more democratic; others suggest it reinforces established patterns. The study informed how the Centre rolls out its own forms of networked learning and shaped the sort of advice it can give to others on this issue.
The Networked Learning for Educational Leaders research project was funded by theCentre for Excellence in Leadership (CEL). The Centre has been established to provide leaders and managers within the learning and skills sector.

Mike Gagliano of the Seattle (WA) Fire Department talks about the need for firefighters to stay passionate about the job.
It's now my distinct honor and -- to introduce to you today our keynote speaker. Mike Galliano has steadfastly demonstrated it can -- and a commitment to continuous improvement in almost every aspect of structural firefighting. Mike has extended his passion not only to Seattle fire department but throughout the American fire service. Mike cares who cares deeply. About bringing the message of fire service training to others. I know Mike has -- precedence fires here this morning but first let me recap a little bit of Mike's work history for you. Mike has twenty years of experience with the Seattle Washington fire department and with the united states air force. Is currently the captain of training and a member of the Seattle fire department's operational skills enhancement development team. My teachers across the country and air management firefighter safety fire growth strategy and tactics is also a member of RF DIC associates ward. -- co authored the book air management for the fire service. The sounds like -- just completely shameless huckster up here. Which was also published by fire engineering but -- co authored numerous articles for fire engineering. And he's also on the board of directors for the cyanide poisoning coalition treatment. Please join with me and give Mike a warm FDIC welcome to might Galliano. Well. Is a firefight. What is firefighter. New neighbor next door. Just like you and me. With -- worries. And unfulfilled dreams. If they stand taller than most of us. -- firefighters. Firefighters -- once the most fortunate and least fortunate people in a world. -- men and women who save lives because they've seen too much debt. They're gentle because they've seen the awesome power. Of violence that has gotten out of control. They're responsive to a child's laughter because their arms held too many small bodies they'll never laugh again. They don't preach. The brother and sisterhood of man. They don't have to. Relive it every single. Day. You're -- amongst. Some of the most courageous heroic men and women that have ever walked this planet. Sitting right next to you in front of you back. Our men and women every day who -- service. Valor and honor integrity. And they do it as a matter of course as a matter of their own personal life. I have the privilege the distinct privilege. Owner of my life has been a few minutes minutes with you today. To talk about an incredible. Incredible individual. You know. You -- very well. Because -- you. Brothers and sisters is there anywhere in the world. You would rather be right now it FDIC. Anywhere in the world. I -- speak to you today about who you are. And most importantly remembering who you are. I have to take you back a little bit. To make this work we gotta go back for some of -- we gotta go way back. A want you to think about. Back to the time of the horses right. Who would like you to think about the time that you've got the notification that you were going to be accepted as a firefighter. Do you remember that day. Folks my wife we'll tell you I can't remember what I had for breakfast. But I can remember that day I remember who I was with. I remember where I was. I remember coming from the playground with my kids to the post office box. And there was a letter from the Seattle fire department. I knew this was either gonna be really good news really bad. And it was one of the most incredible days of my life because the fire department that I wanted more than any in the world to be a part of had asked me to come to their -- academy. I was absolutely. Blown away. Do you remember that day. You remember what that felt like how about your recruited cat. You Amber's showing up -- -- recruit academy and you were dazed. And you didn't quite know what to expect. And depending upon how long ago you recruit academy was there was -- various levels of stress and strain applied. New member the stories. You have a story. I do -- I remember my first house fire. We're down in a basement and we aren't -- it and a smoke everywhere and we can't see squat in the two or three pallets that are burning somewhere in the distance. With a glass -- over our heads and the instructors yelling at us to hit the fire. I can't see the fire I can't see anything. I see little blow. He goes out. We exit the building. Me and my partner we -- jazz. We -- -- demon in the face and we -- its. We conquered our fear you have got. My back was turned to the house and my partner's face all the sudden -- ghost white. Some like I don't think we've got -- As long as I live. I will never forget the sight as it turned around my recruit captain coming out the door soaking wet. And these words echoed across the landscape. Galliano. That was my flashlight. I don't know if this had anything to do with my superlative nozzle work or not but the next week when we graduated the academy. I got assigned to a truck. Folks. You are the true leaders of the fire service. I hope you're not forgetting the dreams you had when you first join your fire department. I hope you're not letting anything take that -- -- steal that from you I hope you remember your first to sign. And that group of men and women who became family to -- they became Brothers and sisters. In some cases they became that crazy uncle that you just couldn't get away from. But they built into you they taught you. They invested in you they gave what they had been taught and learned. And they -- you what you walk. And they instilled in you a set of values that may have been a little different than what you brought to them to the fire department. We forgetting that are you letting that go. It's folks the world has -- different set of values they look in that you. -- looking at the service you provide -- looking at what you do day -- day and they are absolutely blown away there and thought. This world values money first that's the first priority what's the bottom line for firefighters it's not even in the top page. Every single day. You are invited with greater urgency into the homes the church is the sacred places of men and women across the country. And you -- they didn't expect you to be there that day and -- sure glad you're there now. And there's money laying on the -- there's jewelry lying on the bed stand. Things that are sacred and precious and valuable to them even the modesty of the family members that they love so much. Are in your care. And that money those valuables. The things that they hold -- and dear. Are safer in the presence of a firefighter. Than in any bank in the world. Because of who you walk. The world is dedicated to -- me first attitude how does this benefit me what am I getting out of this. And then they're confronted with firefighters. Or interest it only. And what's best for others. This is best represented by the late FDNY lieutenant -- -- car club caught in a terrible collapse. Up to his chest and debris struggling to -- in pain going in and out of consciousness and what does he -- about. What does he most worried about. His partner he read directs the rescue efforts to his partner. Because of who he was. Because of who you are. Folks honor integrity. Teamwork. Those things aren't bumper stickers for us that's not just something -- post it note that somebody got off the calendar of the month. We saw this in Seattle fire department with my recruit school classmate Randy -- liquor. Randy died. In the arson fire at paying warehouse. Randy always told us. If he was ever caught in the situation where he and his partner could not get out and couldn't get his partner free from any type of entrapment. If you take -- this past device he would be demise partner and you get -- help. That's exactly what he did when that floor collapsed. When his partner was buried in the rubble Randy took off. It's fast device and -- it by his partner in that flaming burning hell hole and went out to get help. We found from some distance away. A hero. Because of who he was. Because of who you. More. Brothers and sisters you can never let that slip you can never forget that. We grieve recently. For captain Broxton. Firefighter -- -- station officer LaBelle from New Zealand. They gave their life in service to community like you do every day. They stand with the heroes that echoed down quarters of the fire service. -- paying the price with their lives for something greater than themselves. With all of that. We see. On the television the rash of political commercials that are coming have you seen the latest when the very controversial one. It's 3 AM. -- do you want answering the phone when you're having the worst day of your life and it's 3 AM I don't have selects that -- when you embarrass yourself. At 3 AM. I'm telling you. The citizens of the world are praying to god. That on the other end to that phone when they're having the worst day of their life. There is a well trained fire companies ready to respond because experience has told them. Those -- the folks that are going to calm. And make it better. Despite all of this all you have to be proud of we are told as we teach classes as we talk with Brothers and sisters across the country that there firefighters that are losing heart. They're losing their passion. They're wondering aloud what -- they have in the fire service what role they play. I hope that's not any -- you. I saw a video. I watch a couple times a year is so inspiring. Tom Brennan -- now -- C did an unplugged. There was absolutely for unforgettable. They were getting questions from the audience and their inimitable style answering those questions. The gentleman from the audience. Asked chief Brennan. When he sees a future the fire service where we had how we do. -- -- answered. As you would expect to simply and directly. He looked and -- He said brother. You aren't fire service. You are the fire service. Take it over. Take it over. The haunting part of the whole message because it's being taken from you. Are you allowing that to happen. Are you allowing the lame in the lazy -- your passion. Are you allowing the politicians to demean what you do. Brothers and sisters I believe the answer to the questions that befuddled the fire service or sitting right in this room. The brightest and the best are assembled here. I believe you have the answers to what ails us folks it doesn't matter if you're the one in charge. Thankfully for the fire service we haven't had to rely on only to people that are in charge. Brothers and sisters don't wait for orders from headquarters ride to the sound of the guns. Go for the battle this goal -- the skirmishes happening those guns in the distance you hear our firefighters and -- dying to be trained. They want to be trained realistically because they know we're not getting as many fires -- looking for leaders. Leaders who have not forgotten that the it is a sacred privilege to lead firefighters. They're looking. For mentors the same mentors that you hat that invested in you that made you who you are. Are you stepping up to that task there is a story of the mountain in incredible mountain people love to -- It was so incredible -- thousands would show up in an entrepreneurial sort possibly firefighter but decided to build a logical base of the mountain. That's where it got steep that's -- -- last -- -- -- -- was -- got really tough. And folks would come to that watch. And enlisted -- that lodge -- they would get soup and they would sit by the fire and sit on the couch and it would be fellowship and they would rest up for the last journey of decline. It was great. After 1520 minutes majority of people would get up hey let's go we're going on out and it would tackle the rest of that mountain. Inevitably there would be if you that would stay behind. Because that second cup a -- sounded really good and the couch was comfortable. And fire was -- It was cold outside. That mountain with -- As an -- stay out. A low catch up. The people who run the lodge said that same thing happens every time. Those people to three hours after they're sitting on the couch and have -- a second cup of soup they would start to get restless. And it would look out the window and they would look up that mountain. And they would realize. As the sun was starting to set and they would see the people who had reach their goals coming down there was not gonna happen for them that day. They have allowed something that in and of itself was fine. To take over the dream and the -- -- sat. And they walked out of that lodged disheartened and disappointed because they were not gonna meet the goal that they had set for themselves. Are we gonna allow that occur are. Brothers and sisters -- FDIC. As a stoking point for what you wanna do and what you wanna be in the fire service. You have some of the greatest classes you could go to in the world. At your Beck and call go out and celebrate. Go out at night and enjoy your Brothers and sisters when they're looking down from heaven and they say what's that noise. I believed -- Brennan will be holding court up there and say you know what that is that's men and women celebrating being a -- Let's celebrate. In a manner that is respectful to our service but the folks of Indianapolis no that's firefighters are in town and be prepared show up tomorrow morning show up ready. To take the classes to do the stuff. You provide the answers you are the solution. Go down to the bookstore and grabbed one of the many great books that are there you can get a copy of frank Montag -- responding to routine emergencies and take it back to your group. They'll be blown away yet. Grab Dave Johnson's reading smoke dvd. Grabbed John Norman's tactical. Studies and take that your troops imagine learning with -- people from John Norman. Brothers and sisters we haven't in our hands we have at their Beck and call use this conference. To ignite the flame. For those of you who are saying folks this doesn't apply I'm already fired up that's great. Grab somebody by the elbow who needs it take them along with you said -- -- going on not. We're gonna ride to the sound of the guns were not going to be dissuaded. Remember Brothers and sisters that mediocrity. And comfort. Loves company. Folks we'll sit around the table with you and they will cry in -- -- and they would drag you down because it validates their own failures. You remember who you are. You remember the training that needs to occur -- You remembered the mentoring that needs to occur you remember that you have a role to play and its key and it's vital and only you can do it. I don't care where you're from the -- your department I don't care what your mission is only you complaint no one on the stage can. Brothers and sisters as we close as we celebrate FDIC. Or -- thank you for being who you are. Want to thank you and I pray that you remember you're calling you remember your mission. Most of all Brothers and sisters never forget. Remember who you are.

Mattek-Sands Exits in Madrid
Posted By Chris Kisby On May 7, 2011 @ 2:28 pm In Gaga's Gallery,Game, Set, Match,Top Story | No Comments
After a tremendous run to the quarter-final stage, Bethanie Mattek-Sands finally exited the Madrid Open at the hands of Na Li.
Yet it was still a typically dogged and battling performance from the World No.41 as she went down in three sets to the sixth seed.
Mattek-Sands began her campaign in the Spanish capital with a superb victory over Serbian star Ana Ivanovic, recovering from a first set whitewash to prevail in three sets. She then followed that success up with a comfortable straight sets result against American compatriot Vania King, before scoring the biggest triumph of her career to date when ousting reigning French Open champion Francesca Schiavone.
But ultimately, the 26 year-old found Na Li, this year's Australian Open runner-up, a bridge too far.
After losing the first set to the Chinese, Mattek-Sands fought back to take the second and with momentum on her side, it seemed as if another giant killing was on the cards. Na Li raised her game in the deciding set however and proved a little too strong for the American, coming through 6-4 3-6 6-4 overall to set up a semi-final clash with Czech Petra Kvitova who won another three set tussle against Dominika Cibulkova.
Despite the defeat, the popular Mattek-Sands has now laid major foundations for herself on a surface which she hasn't been too confident on in the past.
Her excellent showing in Madrid will almost certainly boost her World Ranking position and another strong performance in Rome next week at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia could well see her seeded for the clay court's showpiece event at Roland Garros in just over a fortnight's time.

He looks like a lovely boy and you seem to be a rider with a lot of potential!
What I think is wrong here is not understanding what an 'outline' is. There are times where your horse drops his head...this good be because he is relaxed (good!) or because he is evading being pulled in the mouth (bad!). When we ask our horses for an outline it actually has very little to do with the head, and much to do with the back and HQ. It is hard to measure impulsion in slo-mo, but it does look as if he is quite happy to shuffle along without working too hard, like most horses do! A frame is created by a forward aid being ridden into a restraining aid...asking the power to come from behind and up through his back...by default the head will drop.
At your level I would work on getting a steady contact and working on nice bends and straight lines - if you look at around 0:51 you are coming around a corner flexed to the outside. That will throw off his balance and he won't be able to engage his back effectively. Once you are able to get him moving straight and rythmically he will be able to give you much more!
Would love to see your video after tonight :)

PAWTUCKET – In the wake of recent revelations about fraud and abuse in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Rhode Island, Pawtucket Rep. Mary Duffy Messier wants to require that the program's Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards carry a photo ID of the recipient.
"It's basically to prevent fraud," in the federal program once known as Food Stamps, the Democratic lawmaker told The Times Thursday.
Too often, Duffy Messier said, recipients will sell their cards at a reduced rate for cash -- $200 for a card worth $400 in benefits, for example -- that they can then use to buy items such as liquor and cigarettes or to gamble at a casino.
With the photo ID, she said, "if you bought my card from me for $200, then you wouldn't be able to use it unless you looked like me."
Duffy-Messier said she got the idea from constituents who complained that Rhode Islanders now have to show a photo ID to vote, "but the people with EBT cards don't have to show an ID or have an ID."
Two or three states already use a photo ID on their EBT cards and 10 more are in the process of passing such legislation, she said.
Not only would her proposal save the state money by helping to prevent fraud, Duffy Messier said, but it would also protect the recipients because, "if there is less fraud, it makes it better for everyone.
"When you think about it," she said, "you need a picture ID to drive, you can't board a plane without a picture ID, at a lot of schools and colleges, they have student IDs, you even need a photo ID at McCoy Stadium to get a beer."
"In that sense," Duffy Messier added, "it seems like why not, there is no reason those cards shouldn't a photo ID.
"If people are using their cards legitimately, they are not going to lose anything. It is not intended to take anything away from anyone or decrease what they get in any way. It's only to keep the system fair and above-board."
No date has yet been set for a hearing on the bill before the House Finance Committee but when it is Duffy Messier expects most of the testimony will be opposed to her bill. She may be correct.
Linda Katz, policy director of the Economic Progress Institute, called it "a terribly unnecessary expense to the state to address a problem that has not been proved to exist. People use their cards responsibly, for the most part.
"I don't know why it would be necessary and I would be very concerned about the cost," said
Katz, noting that there was a similar proposal in Massachusetts last year and the legislature rejected it because of the cost. Sometimes people lose their EBT cards, she said, and it would create an extra expense to replace them.
Steven Brown, executive director of the RI ACLU, called it "a knee-jerk reaction to concerns about fraud that are vastly overblown." In addition, he said, it perpetuates the stereotype that SNAP and other welfare programs are rife with abuse.
Brown said SNAP cards are issued to households, not to individuals, so putting an individual's photo on the cards could start a bureaucratic process that might create problems for people who are entitled to the benefits.
Also pointing to the potential price of the program, Brown said it could cost more than the amount of fraud it is meant to address.
Duffy Messier acknowledged there would be a cost to the state Department of Human Services (DHS) to take the photos for the EBT cards, but she said she doesn't have the exact figures yet on what that cost would be.
A phone message seeking response from DHS Director Sandra Powell was not answered on Friday.
"If we have learned anything after the recession, it is that resources like SNAP are both necessary and precious," the lawmaker said in a written statement. "The photo identification on the EBT cards will simply ensure that SNAP funds are going directly to the people who are enrolled in the program and who have gone through the necessary steps to obtain assistance. We are constantly looking for ways to cut down on waste and fraud, and this is just an extra protection that could save the state money in the long run and further protect these benefits for Rhode Island's struggling individuals and families."
Qualification for SNAP benefits is based on income, resources and number of people who live in the applicant's household. According to DHS, people may qualify for SNAP benefits if their income is less than 185 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). It is the largest food and nutrition support program in Rhode Island and functions through a partnership between the state and federal governments.

This report reveals some astounding facts relative to the difficulty of controlling narcotic addiction in Egypt. Apparently that country is now suffering with a flood of hashish introduced from Syria. Great benefit has accrued from the closing of opium factories in Turkey. The Egyptian authorities insist that the European center for the manufacture of heroin destined entirely for illicit trade has shifted from Istanbul to Sofia in Bulgaria. Driven from Turkey, it is now elsewhere, and the director of the intelligence bureau considers that, driven from Sofia, it will turn up in some other city. Mr. Russell says that only complete international understanding and agreement can control the drug traffic. The report is a highly interesting document showing that drugs are shipped in every possible way and that the tricks of the trade are amazingly intricate and devious. The report gives names, dates and places, one statement being to the

After four days, she was returned, but with cut open belly. Disturbing and shocking photographs serve as the evidence of the massacre committed against the unfortunate animal!"
Yesterday's news of unprofessionally performed sterilization of a stray dog and her tragic death has shocked activists around the world. Negligence, carelessness and irresponsibility from the staff of the vet station "Hadzici" is the main cause of this brutal act. Sterilization was carried out on the unfortunate dog called Siva who was operated despite the fact she recently gave birth to the puppies.
Siva was favorite among local people and she won't be forgotten!
Please sign this petition and give your voice as something like this must not happen ever again. The letter will be handed to the Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Veterinary and vet station where this brutal act occurred.

Siva was favorite among local people and she won't be forgotten!
1. We are seeking justice for Siva and the maximum punishment for the people responsible in this case.
2. We demand responsibility from the veterinarians who are paid to do their job properly.
3. We demand that sterilization and castration is continued across the whole state of Bosnia and Herzegovina because it is the only way to prevent the problem of unwanted litters (just one unsterilized male animal can impregnate dozens of females, creating dozens upon dozens of unwanted offspring, while one unaltered female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in only six years. In seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce an incredible 370,000 kittens!)
4. We demand that this problem is solved on a more humane, efficient and cheaper way.

What Kona is thankful for
by Kona Gallagher, posted Nov 26th 2009 3:06PM
It's Thanksgiving morning as I'm writing this. I've got five pounds of potatoes boiling for our mashed potatoes, the turkey is in the oven, and the butternut squash is cut up for the risotto I'm making. My baby is playing ball with his dad, and the dog is on the couch trying to sleep and just remaining thankful that said baby isn't trying to pet her eyeball right now. I have a lot of things to be thankful for, but as others have said before, me, this is a TV blog, so let's talk about television-related things I'm thankful for.
As we're getting close to the mid-season point, I feel more and more that this is an exceptionally strong season of television-- even with the whole Leno debacle. There are several new shows that I'm quickly falling in love with, and some returning shows that are better than ever. In no particular order, here are things that I am thankful for.
NBC Thursday night comedies
Yes, NBC is a big ol' pile of fail in general, but this season's Thursday night comedy line-up is the one bright spot in an otherwise dreary schedule. This is the strongest the lineup has been in years, and I look forward to every single show. Community, Parks and Recreation, The Office, and 30 Rock are all a match made in heaven. There isn't a single other lineup of four shows that I would watch, so at least NBC execs have this small success to keep them warm at night.
Troy and Abed on Community
I know I just talked about Thursday comedies in general, but Troy and Abed deserve a special mention. They are really the breakout characters of the season, on a show filled with amazing people. Every week, I look forward to the end credits featuring these two. Those thirty seconds are consistently some of the funniest moments on television. Here are a few of my favorites:
If you woke up as a doughnut, would you eat yourself?
Dr. Doogie Seacrest
La Biblioteca
Joel is also thankful for them and is threatening to put them on the podcast. I want in!
It's been mentioned already, but for a show that's in its fourth season, Dexter is really bringing it. I watched last week's episode with my jaw just hanging open. John Lithgow as the Trinity killer is the creepiest thing on television right now, and the latest episode was the best episode that this series has ever done.
It's a time-sucker, but I love the number of TV stars who use the service. I cannot even tell you how many stories I have gotten for this site solely based on a random Tweet from a star, network, or other random TV-obsessed person. So in that way, Twitter has directly made me money. And that is awesome.
Never has a show put a smile on my face as quickly as Glee does. I've never been into musicals, but this show never ceases to just make me happy. The fact that other than Jane Lynch and Jayma Mays, I've never seen most of these people before in my life, really works for the show. It's nice to see actors getting their start and showing that you don't have to have a series that's chocked-full of stars in order for it to be good. Plus, it makes me cry all the time, which is also, oddly, a big plus in my book.
The TV Squad Readers
Seriously, you guys are awesome. You make me laugh, you make me think, and you make me better. I appreciate all of your comments-- even the one where the guy told me he hoped that a swarm of moths gave me AIDS. Because, really dude? A swarm of moths? Okey-dokey.
Have a happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Hidden Motives Part 1 - The Quest for Cool
Alan gets a brain scan that tells him how his brain responds to cool and uncool items. Why would our minds react to the social status of products?
Select text to jump ahead in the clip:
What makes a product cool?
What's going on
in your brain right now
as you see objects, both
cool and uncool, floating by?
Can your brain tell
the difference?
How is it deciding?
What's the hidden motive
behind the quest to be cool?
Today in our culture,
cool is a social norm,
it's a social good.
It's something
that is desirable.
We rate people
in terms of how
cool they are.
We all have at least some
kind of implicit
of the rules about being
For young people,
it's a terribly important
There's nothing worse
for a high-schooler
than not feeling cool,
to be banished by it.
So it's really a very
social good for us to have.
It defines ultimately
our identity.
So, how cool am I?
This is the emergency buzzer,
if you need us.
To find out, I've agreed
to have my head examined
by lying in an MRI machine
that will allow Steve Quartz
to peer into my brain
while I'm looking at
Steve wants to see
if my brain reacts
to the images
of things I think are cool
as opposed to those
I find uncool.
One problem for me right away
is that I have no clue
whether many of the 140
parading in front of my eyes
are cool or not, or even
I think they're cool or not,
or even, in some cases,
what they are.
It doesn't matter.
All I have to do consciously
is look at them.
It's what
my unconscious is doing,
what's going on in my brain
that I'm not aware of,
that Steve and his
collaborators are interested
Because while on the one hand
what's cool right now
in our culture
can be viewed
as trivial and passing--
after all,
there's nothing more uncool
than what was cool last
on the other hand,
how we decide what's cool,
Steve believes,
requires the most highly
parts of our brains,
the most uniquely human,
and involves nothing less
than our sense of self--
all that from looking
at stuff like shoes.
It took about 30 minutes
in the scanner,
my brain now reeling
from consumer overload.
So, now that we're
done with the scan,
we have a little
survey for you.
Anette Asp is Steve Quartz's
extremely cool collaborator.
All the images that
you saw in the experiment
are represented here
on this paper.
It goes
from zero to five,
and you're going
to rate each image
from zero,
meaning not cool,
to five,
meaning very cool.
Very cool.
Okay, so how do I
translate that to me?
If I think... do I like it?
Do I think it's
pleasant, nice...?
how do I...?
How you experience them.
If you think
it's cool...
Different people mean
different things by "cool."
This is not me saying
what I think
other people think are cool.
This is me saying
how I respond to it.
Yes, exactly.
By the way, all these objects
were chosen for their
by a panel of design experts.
But it's not what they think
that matters, right?
This looks uncool to me,
but I like it.
So I'm saying that's cool--
sort of cool.
Oh, very uncool here,
very not cool.
I don't know what this is,
I don't like it.
Here! Now we got it--
very cool.
Finally we got very cool.
The iPod even I can recognize
as cool,
but most of this stuff...
You rated
most of the objects as
the majority of them as
So we took the ones
that you rated cool
and the ones you rated
as uncool
and looked at the
And so here's you.
This is you looking
at the cool objects.
At the cool ones.
At the cool ones--
very little
activation overall.
It seems that
the cool stuff left me cold,
my brain remaining
stubbornly indifferent
even to things like the iPod
that I thought were cool.
But here's the surprise.
To objects I later
labeled uncool,
my brain lit up,
most especially in an area
that has long
fascinated Steve Quartz
right at the very front
of the brain,
where he believes
our sense of self resides.
About a third of everyone
run through the scanner
had this strong negative
reaction to the uncool,
to her astonishment, Anette.
You had the
same response?
Yes, I said I just ignored
all the images that are
I'm just focusing on
the cool images in the
I looked at
the results afterwards,
and I responded
exactly like you--
completely unanticipated.
What about people like us?
What, for example,
did you react negatively to
on that list?
Well, there were
some sunglasses,
some cars,
water bottles, shoes--
I mean, especially clothes
for me is a big deal.
And I think the people that
are high negative responders
are very consciously aware
of what's cool,
but their main focus is
to stay away
from everything that is
and that's how
our brains respond.
It doesn't seem like it
in a gray life.
I mean, you seem
very cool.
Your hair is cool,
your outfit is
cool, right?
Look at your
ring there.
Thank you.
Well, I think that just the
that my brain responds
so intensely to the negative
stimuli, the uncool,
makes me maybe sweat even
to be cool.
But while Anette and I have
brains that unconsciously
from the uncool,
people in the next biggest
group tested in the scanner
have the opposite response.
Their brains ignore
the uncool but go wild--
especially in that part
at the front
where our sense
of social status lies--
when confronted with cool.
What's more,
another part of the brain
involved in planning movement
also lights up,
suggesting they're
subconsciously reaching out
to grab the product.
Being one myself...
( all laugh )
Guess what he is.
Are you highly positive
in response to cool?
I am, I am, I...
It certainly tells me that
it gives me clues
when I walk into a store...
of what to be aware of.
So, his brain is biased
by everything
that is positive...
like the cool stimuli is
very attractive to his brain.
And it might be
that people in that category
are more impulsive-- they're
shopaholics or they're...
it's important to them
to be on top of trends
and know about new products
coming out
on the market first.
They tend to jump on the new
stuff faster than the people
who are more worried
about being cool
in terms of
staying away from
the uncool products.
And, Steve,
is that how you see yourself?
Was it a surprise
to you to scan yourself?
No, it actually confirmed
my wife's suspicions.
( all laugh )
Have you scanned
your wife?
No, she's afraid
to know what she is.
( all laugh )
Not surprisingly, this new
ability to see inside our
as we contemplate
what's cool enough to covet--
what attracts us
to eight-dollar bottles of
and $5,000 watches--
is also attracting
the attention
of marketers
who'd like us to buy them.
In fact, a whole new business
called neuromarketing
is already using brain
to seek out the hidden
behind our consumer desires.
Hidden Motives Part 2 - Hidden Prejudice
A simple Implicit Association Test checks what Alan really thinks about women and careers. He's always thought of himself as a feminist, but does his mind hide a secret prejudice?
Select text to jump ahead in the clip:
I've always thought of myself
as a feminist,
so I'm pretty sure
I know how I'll do
in this test of my reaction
to women in the workplace.
I am ready to begin.
Women, in fact,
like Mahzarin Banaji,
who's a professor
here at Harvard University.
The test is called
the Implicit Association
and it begins simply enough.
I have to pair
the word in the center
with one of the words above
by pressing the "E" key
with my left hand
or the "I" key with my right.
Mahzarin has told me
to do this as fast as I can,
because it's the time I take
to make the associations
that's critical to the test.
Now the target words
have changed,
but the task remains the
to quickly decide
whether the new words
belong to the left
or the right.
But things are
about to get trickier.
It's the same thing
except now any one
of these four will show up.
When it's "career" or "male,"
press the left key;
when it's "family" or
you'll press the right key.
Okay, "career" or "male."
So now the categories
are described by two words,
making it harder to decide
where the new words belong.
But since historically
"male" and "career"
have gone together...
This is like you're
reinforcing the stereotype
Yes, exactly.
The point of the test
is to discover
if, lurking beneath
my feminist convictions,
I actually harbor a hidden
against women in the
based on all the associations
between man and career
and women and family
that bathed the culture
I grew up in.
"Family or male,
career or female."
Okay, now you're
testing me.
The Implicit Association Test
is designed to ferret out
any bias
by seeing if it takes me
fractionally longer
to figure out
where a word belongs
when the pairing of
the target words-- in this
"family" and "male" together
and "career" and "female"--
is slightly more difficult
for my brain to accept.
"Corporation-- family...
( laughs ) career...
Brother... management..."
"You are done."
I could tell he has a
this is very good.
So, let's see, you're showing
a slight automatic
between male and career,
and only 12%
of the sample population
that takes this test
shows this bias.
What you're seeing
is that you're showing
a much smaller bias than
what many other people show.
I'm up here--
I make a strong association
between male and career
and female and family,
even though that's not
what I consciously express.
Even though that's
not what you live?
That's not what I live,
but in my world...
I'd be interested to know...
maybe many years
of working in feminist causes
made you show this less.
So, all those years of
in feminist causes
didn't manage
to totally eliminate
my lingering association
between female and family
and male and career.
What's astonishing, though,
is that Mahzarin is far
and she's not only enjoying
a very successful career;
she designed the test.
Another of its designers
is Brian Nosek,
who personally developed
the test he's taking now,
intended to reveal
hidden racial prejudice.
These are
the same faces
you've seen
many, many times.
Many times.
In fact, I helped
create the faces.
The heart of this test is
to see whether it's easier
for Brian
to match words or pictures
to pairings
of "African American" with
and "European American"
with "good"
than when the pairings
are reversed--
European Americans with "bad"
and African Americans
with "good."
I can predict.
What do you think?
Moderate to strong.
I say "moderate"
as well.
"Strong preference
for white."
You're taking this
for the umpteenth time
and you still haven't
caught on to the fact
that you're
a little biased?
( all laugh )
I think part of that
is the insistence
that my conscious beliefs
still matter.
It isn't that the fact
that I keep showing
these implicit biases
mean that I'm a biased person
so I should just accept that
and move on.
It's that, no,
I don't agree with those.
I do have them, and I will
to having those implicit
but I'm not going
to let that rule
what I would consciously
want to have.
It really is remarkable
that here I am
in Cambridge, Massachusetts--
perhaps the liberal capital
the country-- with two
who pride themselves
on their enlightened
only to discover that
they have latent within them
biases they would fervently
if their own test
hadn't revealed them.
But all may not be lost.
We've found in research
and also in testing of myself
that if I put myself
in a situation
where I think about
positive black exemplars--
I think about Michael Jordan
and Colin Powell
and people...
Martin Luther King--
who have had
a very positive impact
and who are also
African American,
I show much less bias
immediately after thinking
about those exemplars
than if I hadn't thought
about them before.
Even simple things
like the presence of an
reduces race bias,
that the presence
of a competent woman
makes women's attitudes to
become more positive--
those kinds of studies sit,
I think, in contradiction
to ways in which people like
thought about these.
We thought they were learned
over long periods of time,
that they were entrenched,
they were rigid, inflexible,
and that does not appear
to be the case.
And I think that that's
where the room for optimism
So, on the one hand
I would like people
to take these data seriously.
When we can show
the vast numbers of people
who show the bias,
I think we need to
contend with that.
On the other hand,
what this work is showing
is that it might be not that
hard to shape environments
that can change these even
automatic kinds of attitudes.
You can find out
if you harbor unconscious
you would deny even to
by logging onto
the Project Implicit Web
There you'll find tests
of attitudes toward such
as age and religion,
as well as lighter fare
like the Harry Potter movies
versus The Lord of the Rings.
Give it a try.
You may be in for a shock.
Hidden Motives Part 3 - Tough Choices
Moral choices and judgments about what's fair each have emotional and rational components. Alan gets scanned again to see what his mind is doing.
Select text to jump ahead in the clip:
A harrowing true story
used on MASH
has been borrowed by
looking for the hidden
that go on when our brains
confronted with a moral
A bus full of people has to
from enemy soldiers.
Now, nobody make a sound
until they've passed us.
But a crying baby endangers
everyone's life.
Hawkeye urges the mother
to keep the baby quiet,
and she ends up smothering
The question is, "Is it okay
to sacrifice one life
in a situation like this to
the lives of everyone else?"
The question has been asked
of subjects
in a study
at Princeton University,
along with another version
of the same dilemma
involving a train,
or in some accounts a
( train chugging )
You're standing next
to a railroad switch
as a train approaches.
If you do nothing,
the train will surely kill
five foolish but innocent
standing on the track.
You could save them by
the switch, diverting the
The problem is
there's another foolish
standing on the second track.
So the moral question here
"Is it okay to hit the switch
so that you only run over
one person instead of five?"
What do you think
off the top of your head?
Yeah, off the top
of my head
it... it seems,
uh... uh, you would...
it would be regrettable
to kill anybody,
but if you could save
the five people,
then you would throw
the switch.
Well, that's what
pretty much everyone
we ask says.
Okay, now here's
a slightly different case:
trolley headed
towards five people.
This time there's
no other track.
You're on a footbridge
standing over the track,
and you're standing next
to this big person.
And this time the only way
you can save those five
is to push the big guy
off of the bridge.
He'll land on the tracks.
He'll get squashed by the
He'll die,
but the five people will
Okay, so would I push
the guy off the bridge?
Well, it's so hypothetical.
I mean,
I don't even understand...
First of all I don't
how he could...
I'd have to be really
that it could stop the train.
But I'd be,
as I'm sure most people
would be, less inclined
to push the guy,
but, um... uh, I don't know.
It depends.
It kind of depends.
Do I have anything
against this guy?
I mean, would it matter to me
if I... if I lost him?
The fact that you're looking
for all these sort of angles
and ways out and things
to question is very telling,
because most people
are made rather uncomfortable
by that one.
Right, by taking
an active role.
Structurally these are
very similar cases.
I mean, it's death by trolley
to one person
in order to save five people.
Perhaps you can try
to find a reason
for why it's okay
and why it's not,
and this is what philosophers
have been busy doing.
We put the
philosophical question
about what's right and what's
wrong aside for a second
and say, "What's going on
in the brain?"
What they found
when people struggled
with these problems in a
is that regions of the brain
thought to be involved
in emotion
lit up when people thought
pushing the guy off the
And just as I did, it took
longer to make that decision
than the less personal one
of throwing the switch.
How emotion and rationality
compete in decision making
is also the subject
of an experiment
that I'm about to be
suckered into,
along, apparently, with some
dozen Princeton students.
Our subject today is
going to be Alan Alda,
whom I'm sure
you all recognize,
and slightly different
from our run-of-the-mill
Princeton undergraduate.
And so the way
it'll work
is that each of you
in turn
will play one round
of the game.
You'll be brought
into a room
and sat in front
of a computer terminal.
You'll play the game with
who's going to be
downstairs in
the scanner.
I'll be having my brain
while each of the other
offers to split
ten dollars with me.
I can either accept
or reject the offer,
but if I turn it down,
we both get nothing.
Well, if they give me
a ridiculous offer,
then I... I lose... I lose
because I don't accept
their ridiculous offer?
That's correct.
If you reject
the offer,
neither of you
get anything.
This game is like life.
So it's into the MRI machine
I go again.
I'm given a button box
to respond to the offers,
which I can see projected
on a mirror above my face.
are you able
to read the words
"Welcome to
the experiment"
on the screen there?
I hadn't expected a computeas
a partner,
but its offer seems what
a reasonable machine would
so, okay, I'll take it.
Kelly seemed like a nice
and she is.
Kathleen-- let's see.
That's ridiculous!
No way!
I'm beginning to wonder
if this is a setup
and the people
aren't actually playing,
just lending their faces.
( scoffs )
Another selfish oaf.
Take that!
Claire... yeah, she...
no, I didn't...
oh, yes... no, no, no...
oh, the heck with it.
I'm now pretty sure
I'm being manipulated
by the experimenters
and not by those nice, polite
Princeton students.
Oh, here's the computer
Maybe I can teach this thing
a lesson in manners, too.
I was just one of some 20
scanned in the study,
which found that in most of
blatantly unfair offers
activated regions of our
associated with feelings
of anger and disgust.
What's more,
these responses were stronger
when we thought the offer
was coming from a person
rather than from a computer.
Was there somebody live
at the other end?
Well, no.
Not... not...
not exactly, no, no.
I mean, at one point
they were alive
when you took
their picture.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that occurred to me
somewhere in the middle
of the first run, I think.
Do you feel
that affected
the way you played
the game?
No, I played it as if
they were real people.
You actually rejected a
of offers from the computer
where it made, you know,
avowedly unfair offers,
but nevertheless there's...
there's no, you know...
presumably there's no...
Well, the chances
were better for me
if I assumed I could move
the computer around
than if I just had
an emotional reaction to it.
Or a very dry response,
which is just to assume
"Hey, it's a computer.
"I'll take the
two bucks and run,
"and then there's
no consequences
down the road
for what I get."
And anyway, it was only
a couple of bucks.
Well, we discussed
that, too.
And at first we thought
that maybe this is
an inconsequential part
of your salary,
but then we realized
this is PBS,
and so maybe this is more
than you're getting.
No, I did very well today.
Well, they haven't
paid you yet.
This is part of
the experiment.
Will you take it
right now?
Yeah, I'll take it.
I suppose you think I'm going
give it back to Princeton,
Forget it.
One... two... three...
What did I make?
Not bad,
Now, of course, you know,
it has nothing to do
with... with the science of
but how did I do compared
to other people?
I'll let these guys answer,
because they're the ones...
Is that about average?
That's actually low.
Most people would be...
would reject less offers.
They would?
What do they report
when they talk to you?
Why would they reject?
Typically people around
the seven-and-three mark,
people have typically told
"That's... It's a little bit
unfair, but it's not too
so they'll tend to accept
They'll also tend to accept
a computer offers them.
They don't really draw
a distinction
between fairness and
for a computer.
So they do...
Most of our subjects
will reject
a nine-and-one offer,
and about half will reject
the eight-and-two,
and most will accept
the seven-and-three.
When the offers areseven and
the rational regions
of the brain become more
than the emotional centers,
suggesting that reason
is overcoming outrage.
Since at least the days of
Sigmund Freud, we've been
that there are hidden motives
behind much of what we decide
and what we do.
The tools of science
are now revealing
the clamor within our brains
as these hidden motives
and they may one day help us

On June 24, Matthew RJ Brodsky squared off on CCTV's "The Heat" with Aaron David Miller, Middle East analyst, author, and negotiator, and Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The segment was on the question of whether the U.S. should intervene in Syria. Brodsky argued that Syria is a vital security interest to the U.S. and that America should identify elements of the Free Syrian Army to provide training, intelligence, and weapons. Miller argued that the U.S. should not get involved in another Middle East mess or embark on another ill-conceived adventure. The Brodsky-Miller segment begins at 14:30 and continues until 24:00. Also, catch the preceding segment, an interview on the Syrian situation with Robin Wright, Senior Fellow at the United States Institute for Peace, and the following segment--an expose with Radwan Ziadeh of the Syrian Center for Political and Strategic Studies.

interesting point sidevalve, but this is an adjustment to gp year for marquez and I doubt he will be finishing ahead of pedrosa more than just a once or twice. Let me ask you guys this though, who would you rather have instead of pedrosa, bautista who after 3 years in gp finally earned his first podium? or bradl who has yet to score a top 3 finish? Dovi already had his shot with repsol and given the talent pool to choose from, I'd say hrc would be fools to drop pedrosa. every year he's been improving. This is a big year for him and the end of 2012 he has shown what he can do.

FACES CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY OVER PILOT SAFETY SURVEYNASA got
into hot water over the weekend when The Associated Press reported that the agency
refused a Freedom of Information Act request to release the results of a
pilot survey on aviation safety, citing concerns that the report could
reflect badly on the aviation industry. U.S. Rep. Brad Miller, D-N.C., a
member of the House Committee on Science and Technology, wrote to NASA
Administrator Michael Griffin that possible damage to the image of the
airline industry "does not appear to fall within any of the exceptions"
in the FOIA, The New York Times reported. Griffin said on Monday he had just been made aware
of the FOIA request and would immediately review the matter. "NASA
should focus on how we can provide information to the public -- not on
how we can withhold it," he said. Meanwhile, the House Committee on
Science and Technology said it also wants to take a look at those
records, according to Reuters, and plans to hold a hearing on the matter
soon. More...
AVOID "U" WORD IN STURGELL REACTIONThe White House
announcement that Robert Sturgell will be nominated as the next FAA
administrator drew quick reaction from the GA alphabet groups. Sturgell
has been with the agency long enough that the players are familiar with
him and his stand on the issues. None of the major groups mentioned the
user fee issue, which Sturgell has presumably played a major role in
developing. Sturgell demonstrated his support for user fees under oath
at a Congressional committee hearing last month saying that the way the FAA is funded
needs to change. "A cost-based funding structure is essential to
transforming the aviation system," he said. With that thorn conveniently
buried for the moment, the groups found plenty to like about Sturgell's
appointment.AOPA and EAA said they welcomed the nomination.
"Bobby Sturgell understands the issues that face EAA members and has
been engaged in those issues as deputy administrator," said Tom Poberezny, EAA president. "Bobby has had
the opportunity to join us at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh over the past
several years, so he is very familiar with EAA and our members'
enthusiasm for flight." AOPA President Phil Boyer also said he is okay
with the choice. "We've worked closely with Bobby for more than five
years and have found that he understands aviation from the pilot's
perspective," Boyer said. "He was particularly helpful in pushing
through some of the latest changes that made the Washington, D.C., Air
Defense Identification Zone a little easier for pilots to negotiate."
The National Business Aviation Association said: "Bobby Sturgell is a
distinguished aviator with a strong government background ... NBAA looks
forward to working with him." More...
DRAMA UNFOLDS IN TOWER TAPE AUDIOA reader sent us the tower
tape clip (MP3) of the exchange between a smooth, professional
air traffic controller at Republic Airport on Long Island and the pilot
of a Piper Saratoga who'd been in a midair collision with a Cessna 152
last Sunday. As we reported
on Monday, both pilots were able to land their aircraft without
incident but the tower tape reveals just what it takes to recover two
damaged aircraft on the same runway during a busy period at a large GA
airport. The first call from the Saratoga pilot comes about 2:15 on the
audio file, but listen to the whole thing to get a feel for what the
controller was up against in getting the damaged aircraft on the ground
without anyone else (including a student launching for his first solo)
getting in the way or into trouble. More...
DISPUTE FAA STAFFING STANCELast week the FAA issued a press
release saying it had exceeded its hiring goals for air traffic
controllers in the last fiscal year, attracting 1,800 new air traffic
controllers and was on track to meet its long-term goals.
Were getting a lot of enthusiastic new recruits who are
interested in becoming air traffic controllers, said [then-]Acting
Administrator Bobby Sturgell. Controller hiring, training and
staffing is a major priority and we are on track to meet future traffic
needs. However, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association
says that while there may be bodies in the buildings, that doesnt
mean the number of qualified air traffic controllers is reflected in
those figures and the manpower crisis it has long predicted is upon us
as the most experienced controllers head for the exits. Our system
is on the brink of a total breakdown, NATCA President Pat Forrey
told a teleconference on Monday. More...
VOLUNTARY CHANGES IMPROVE RUNWAY SAFETYThe U.S. aviation
community has made significant progress in efforts to improve on-airport
safety in the last two months, the FAA said on Monday. "Recent close
calls at some of our nation's busiest airports show that action must be
taken to reduce the risk of runway incursions and wrong runway
departures," the FAA said in a statement. Representatives of airlines,
airports, air traffic control and pilot unions, and aerospace
manufacturers, met with the FAA in August and agreed to work together to
improve cockpit procedures, airport signage and markings, air traffic
procedures, and technology. The FAA's statement includes a progress
report on what actions have been taken. The list includes new taxiway
markings at 52 large airports and 24 smaller ones, the completion of
runway safety reviews at 20 major airports, the expansion of recurrent
training requirements to more airport users such as FBO operators and
airline mechanics, a review of taxi clearance procedures, and the
expansion of a voluntary reporting system for safety issues.
CRIMINALLY BAD LANDING?The pilots of a 737 that crashed in
Indonesia in March, killing 21 people, should be prosecuted, Australia's
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said on Tuesday. Five Australians died
in the crash. A report by Indonesia's National Transportation Safety
Committee, released on Monday, found that during the approach, 15
warnings and alerts were sounded by the Ground Proximity Warning System
and the copilot called for the pilot in command to go around. The PIC
ignored all those warnings, flew a steep, fast approach, and touched
down at an airspeed of 221 knots with only 5 degrees of flap, 87 knots
faster than the landing speed for 40 degrees of flap. "The copilot did
not follow company procedures and take control of the aircraft from the
PIC when he saw that the pilot in command repeatedly ignored the GPWS
alerts and warnings," according to the report. Downer said in an ABC World interview that based on that report, he
would like the Indonesian authorities now to look into the possibility
of prosecutions. More...
PILOT QUITS, CITING "SECURITY MADNESS"Picture the last time
you flew commercial and stood in line to remove your shoes before
reporting to the gate. Now imagine being an airline pilot in uniform,
and going through those same lines up to 10 times a day. In Norway, some
airline pilots are running out of patience with the system. One pilot
delayed a departure when he refused to take off his shoes and reportedly
shouted "I am no terrorist!" Another senior pilot chose to retire early,
citing "security madness" as the reason. "He is happy to be retired and
finished with this," Tom Erik Liverud, head of Widerøe airline's
pilot union, told the newspaper Adresseavisen. "This is a marked contrast to some
years ago when pilots were sad to give up their dream jobs when they
passed 60." More...
GULFSTREAM 550?There are lots of options available on a
Gulfstream 550 but Boeing intends to make the flight deck crew one of
them. Lacking a suitable platform of its own, the Chicago-based company
has purchased one of the $43 million state-of-the-art bizjets to turn it
into a drone for maritime surveillance. If its successful, Boeing
could win a $4 billion contract to build the Broad Area Maritime
Surveillance (BAMS) program. More...
FLIES AGAIN, AT LASTAfter years of struggling to raise $12
million to restore a retired Avro Vulcan, volunteers and aviation
enthusiasts last week got their wish -- the four-engine, 110-foot
delta-wing bomber took to the skies at Bruntingthorpe airfield in
England, 14 years after its last flight. The impressive-looking aircraft
was one of three British V-Bombers designed to drop nuclear weapons
during the Cold War. The fleet fought in the Falklands War and was
retired in 1993 -- and until last week, none had ever flown again. The
bomber will now undergo rigorous testing so it can be certified to fly
by the Civil Aviation Authority. "It is hoped that once this has been
achieved, the aircraft, once the UK's deadliest weapon, will be used to
entertain and educate crowds up and down the country by showcasing its
amazing grace, power and maneuverability," says a news release from the
Vulcan to the Sky
Club. More...
ROLLER 1, FALCON 0If you've ever wondered what happens when
an expensive business jet collides with an asphalt roller, you might ask
Sony Corp. Their Mystere Falcon 900 was taxiing for departure from
Teterboro Airport last Sept. 28 when the left wing clipped the machine
on a taxiway. According to the NTSB preliminary report, neither the captain of the
Falcon nor the roller operator claimed to see the other coming. No one
was hurt but we suspect it ruined a lot of people's day. (Click through
for photos.) More...
FROM SPACE THE NEXT EXTREME SPORT?It takes a certain
kind of person to enjoy jumping out of airplanes -- or off of mountains,
or out of balloons, or from bridges -- and those people look like cash
cows to the new space-tourism industry, according to New Scientist magazine. That's because while most
people will be satisfied with a once-in-a-lifetime trip into space,
extreme-sports enthusiasts -- also known as adrenaline junkies -- will
keep coming back for more. In anticipation of that market, entrepreneur
Rick Tumlinson has started a company called Space Diver, to develop and
promote the sport. But the thrill-seeking also has a practical side.
Equipment developed to allow skydivers that ultra-long thrill can also
be used as safety gear in an emergency. One scenario for how it would
work: The space-suited diver would ride on a platform atop the rocket
into space, then simply push away to begin the descent. The diver would
then free-fall until about a mile above the surface, then deploy the
parachute for safe landing. More...

James Burnham and the Struggle for the World
A Life
by Daniel Kelly
ISI, 443 pp., $29.95
Principles and Heresies
Frank S. Meyer and the Shaping of the American Conservative Movement
by Kevin J. Smant
ISI, 390 pp., $29.95
BACK IN 1994, in a much-discussed essay in the American Historical Review, Columbia University's Alan Brinkley insisted that historians' preference for liberal and progressive interpretations had caused them to neglect the phenomenon of American conservatism. In the years since, several important books have studied the political success of conservatism. But few have taken up the ideas and personalities that shaped the movement.
Daniel Kelly's "James Burnham and the Struggle for the World" and Kevin J. Smant's "Principles and Heresies: Frank S. Meyer and the Shaping of the American Conservative Movement" begin to fill the gap. Both are fine biographies of crucial figures in American conservatism after World War II. Both combine biographical and intellectual history to make important contributions to our historical understanding.
But beyond the historical interest, the question about what we should learn from these books remains unanswered. Are either of their central figures important anymore for understanding contemporary American conservatism? Do James Burnham and Frank Meyer still have anything to tell us?
Both Burnham and Meyer began as Marxists, with Meyer the more dedicated Communist and Burnham, a professor of philosophy at New York University, the more sophisticated intellectual. Both became disenchanted with communism in the 1940s. Burnham left Communist sectarian politics to write his influential "The Managerial Revolution: What Is Happening in the World" in 1941. Meyer, troubled by his growing doubt of communism's efficacy, left the party at the end of World War II.
Burnham quickly became an architect of the Committee for Cultural Freedom, a CIA-funded organization of anti-Communist intellectuals, and wrote about the "struggle for the world" that constituted the Cold War. Meyer spent his time out of the public eye, voraciously devouring works on classical liberal thought, philosophy, and history. He contributed to the libertarian Freeman in the early 1950s and became book-review editor of the conservative American Mercury. In 1955, both men became affiliated with William F. Buckley's National Review, with Burnham acting as Buckley's intellectual mentor and Meyer, within a year of the new magazine's appearance, taking over as the books editor. Meyer died of cancer in 1971, and Burnham suffered a stroke in 1978 that ended his public career nine years before his death in 1987.
Burnham's three books on communism--"The Struggle for the World" (1947), "The Coming Defeat of Communism" (1953), and "Containment or Liberation?" (1953)--articulated a globalist conservative anti-communism, but his most famous book is probably the 1964 "Suicide of the West," his last original work. In "James Burnham and the Struggle for the World," Kelly argues convincingly that what unified all of Burnham's work was an Augustinian skepticism and a fear of the "Caesarism" endemic in the growth of the managerial state and the rise of executive power. His recognition of the totalitarian nature of communism, combined with his skepticism about liberalism's ability to deal with the threat, fed his growing pessimism and belief that the West had failed.
THROUGHOUT the late 1950s and early 1960s, Meyer wrestled with the diverse and contradictory strands of conservative thought, and his real contribution to conservatism was his success at uniting for practical ends the feuding factions of the Right. Traditionalists, such as Russell Kirk and Richard Weaver, emphasized social order and prescriptive tradition as necessary ingredients of a virtuous society, while individualists and classical liberals, such as F.A. Hayek and Milton Friedman, defended the individual person and freedom as ends in themselves. Meyer was more sympathetic to the latter view. He attacked Kirk's "The Conservative Mind" in the July 1955 Freeman as "another guise for the collectivist spirit of the age." So too, "In Defense of Freedom," Meyer's 1962 book, prefers the classical liberal position of individual freedom to the conservatism of Russell Kirk.
But, as Smant argues in "Principles and Heresies," Meyer also recognized the positions shared by libertarians and social conservatives--as shown by the conservatism beginning to sweep across college campuses in the early 1960s.
Meyer always acted as a mentor to young people, often talking with them late into the night, and was much loved as a speaker on campuses and among the leaders of Young Americans for Freedom. Meyer's "fusion" of traditionalism and libertarianism allowed conservatives to put aside disputes and get on with the necessary work of constructing a political movement.

The famous video card and mainboard manufacturer EVGA is advertising a new campaign on its website, calling for EVGA GeForce GTX 680 owners to register their recently acquired GTX 680 EVGA cards and get a chance to receive a modified video card bracket.
The question is: why wouldn't EVGA ship every dual slot card they make with one of these brackets? What was their logic in the first place? "Let's make our cards run hotter!"? Or was it "Let's make our cards heavier and hotter!"?
The idea is a good one and the marketing trick that comes with it is ingenious, but the design is so straightforward that makes you wonder why the engineers designing the cooling system didn't think about this before.
A three degrees Celsius drop in operating temperatures can mean a longer life for your card, maybe a slightly better overclock or just a fan spins a little slower and it's quieter, so they really should have thought about this a long time ago.
Well, if you're the proud owner of NVIDIA's latest GPU in EVGA's variant, there's no reason you shouldn't register your card and get the new thingy.
