"I first saw Dr. Matt Lieberman taking the stage of a lecture hall as my professor for social psychology about five months ago. He was wearing flip-flops, a pair of khaki pants and a casual blue polo, making him look unlike any other professor I've had before — normal. ... He directed our attention to a laundry list of directions, telling us to stretch left, right and then eventually telling us to give him the finger. In a slew of confused thoughts and expectations, most of the students gave him the finger. He smiled, told us to take our seats and began his lecture on authority, conflicting demands and the overarching concept of social conflict. This was Professor Lieberman — dynamic, fresh and brilliant."
Psychology Professor Matt Lieberman
The passage above was part of a letter written by UCLA undergraduate student Sagar Pathak in support of Psychology Professor Matthew Lieberman, a candidate for the coveted 2011 Gold Shield Faculty Prize. Pathak's nomination was just one of several recommending Lieberman for the $30,000 prize sponsored by Gold Shield, Alumnae of UCLA.
The heartfelt letters on behalf of Lieberman touched the members of the Gold Shield Faculty Prize committee, chaired by Diane Donoghue. "When I read Matt Lieberman's nomination letters from the Psychology Department, reflecting his deep and sustaining commitment to undergraduate education, I decided he would be my 'criteria standard,' " Donoghue said. "His dedication to mentoring students as they enter the university to their completion of undergraduate studies is profound."
On June 2 at the Academic Senate's Legislative Assembly meeting, Chancellor Gene Block presented Lieberman with the prize, which is awarded annually to a mid-career faculty member for outstanding achievement in teaching, research and university service. A large and enthusiastic contingent of graduate students from the social psychologist's lab showed up to cheer their mentor on.
"I really think of him as my role model, and that I want to be like him at some point," said Sylvia Morelli, a fourth-year graduate student in Lieberman's lab. "He's been really great because he's so young and has done so much, yet he's very modest about it. He's very inspirational."
Besides his wildly popular Psychology 135 (Introduction to Social Psychology) class, Lieberman also teaches a number of other undergraduate and graduate courses for which he regularly receives course and instructor ratings between 8.5 and 9 on a 9-point scale.
He publishes at an incredible rate — last year alone he published 12 papers, and by January of this year he had 14 more papers accepted and awaiting publication. Lieberman also oversees 10 to 12 grad students working on multiple research projects in his laboratory. One of his recent studies showed that the human brain responds to fairness the same way it responds to winning money or eating chocolate; in other words, being treated fairly turns on the brain's reward circuitry.
Last year, Lieberman and one of his doctoral students, Emily Falk, conducted another study with surprising results. Based on their observation of a brain region called the medial prefrontal cortex, Lieberman and Falk used brain scans to predict, better than the study subjects themselves, how much sunscreen the subjects would use during a one-week period. The study has interesting implications for the advertising industry and public-health organizations.

He is also currently writing a book, tentatively titled "How the Brain Got a Social Network," based on some of his recent research.
Lieberman admitted that he has "ADHD when it comes to doing research. I'm always afraid I'm going to run out of ideas, so I pursue all of them. … I try to avoid being the person who's known for doing 'that one thing.' "
Fat chance Lieberman will ever run out of ideas. But even if he did, he could rest on his laurels as the co-founder of the field of "social cognitive neuroscience," along with his longtime friend and former Harvard classmate, Kevin Ochsner. There had already been some preliminary work done, but "our name was one of the names that stuck for the field," Lieberman said.
In 2001, he and Ochsner published a review paper together called "The Emergence of Social Cognitive Neuroscience," which many people considered the starting point for a lot of the work that has been done in the field. The burgeoning field has brought together social psychologists, neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, anthropologists and other experts to collaborate in the hopes of understanding social behavior from the perspective of the brain.
Lieberman's interest in psychology actually grew out of a love of philosophy. Born in Atlantic City, N.J., he was influenced by his father, who was working toward a Ph.D. in philosophy but changed his plans when he realized he would have to support a young son. "It was the '70s, and no one was hiring philosophers," Lieberman said. Instead, his father went to law school and became a lawyer. His mother, an artist, became an art teacher.
"I grew up reading all the philosophy books on [my father's] shelves. I started out with that being my real passion because of the access I had to that," Lieberman said. "Still, today no one is hiring philosophers. And so at some point, I realized psychology is like philosophy, but with facts instead of opinions. That's an overstatement, but it's sort of true."
Lieberman's wife, Naomi Eisenberger, is on the UCLA Psychology Department faculty as an assistant professor, and the two have a 4-year-old son named Ian James. Despite their busy lives, Lieberman continues to forge ahead with his research with the help of his graduate students, who appreciate his continued support.
"I think the best part about Matt is that he's always taking care of me at the most important moments," said Morelli, his grad student. "Before my master's talk, he went slide by slide through my talk and made sure I was really prepared. I always feel that, if it came down to it, he would support me through anything that happens.
"The experience in the lab, mentoring other students, working with Matt and seeing how great that relationship is has made me want to be a professor and be in that role," Morelli continued. "He's great and I'm really glad he's getting this award. He deserves it."

I had to talk with Nash Huber when I found out he'd been a research chemist before taking up organic farming on the Olympic Peninsula.
There are a couple of reasons for my interest. One is that I enjoy eating and have grown increasingly interested in food I can trust to be wholesome. The other reason is that my son is three months away from graduating with a degree in chemistry and is constantly telling my wife and me what's in our food that ought not to be.
Huber knows all about the chemical angle, which is why he grows organic. "If it doesn't have the organic certification on it, you probably shouldn't be eating it," he said.
You may have eaten some of his vegetables if you shop at PCC or one of the several farmers markets where he sells, including Ballard and the University District in Seattle.

He's well known for his advocacy of independent organic farming, using the winter months to attend various agricultural conferences and spread the word. Last month he participated in a large gathering in California and was one of the "agrarian elders" featured in a New York Times story about the event, which was largely about how they might pass their knowledge to a new generation.
Huber is 72, a pioneer, who said he started the first year-round farmers market in Washington. He's concerned that it may be too expensive for young people to get into farming the way he did and that not many people have the knowledge it takes anyway.
He was born into a farming family in Illinois, the eldest of seven children. He said young Americans were already leaving farms for city life when he was growing up. "The expectation in the '50s and '60s was that everybody was supposed to go to college," he said Wednesday.
Huber got a degree in organic chemistry and went to work for a corn and soybean processor in the analytical research division. He worked across the hall from the grocery product division, so he'd pop in to see what they were cooking up. He was put off by what they were putting into the pie.
He tried some cherry pie. It looked like pie he'd eaten on the farm, but it sure didn't taste like it. "You wouldn't want to know what was in it," he said.
The turmoil of the 1960s was causing him to re-evaluate a lot of things, including the ways in which farming was changing. It was becoming more industrial and chemical-dependent. He read and was influenced by Rachel Carson's 1962 book, "Silent Spring," which opened the curtain on the damage pesticides were doing to the environment.
Huber had been in the lab about six years, loved the work and had earned praise for his research, but farming was calling to him. He moved west, fell in love with the Sequim Valley, rented a small farm in 1968 and started growing vegetables.
In the 1970s he moved to Dungeness. The town was drying up, he said, so he started farming a bunch of vacant lots, and he's been at it since. Now he farms 800 acres with the help of 45 employees. There are 100 acres of vegetables, and the bulk of the land is for wheat, hay, barley and vegetable seed.
He hates that four or five multinational companies control most of the vegetable seeds farmers need.
And he said, "access to land is a huge issue because the housing industry and the development industry has skewed the price of land," making it too expensive for farming.
Huber helped start the PCC Farmland Trust, which preserves land for future farmers, and sold the trust one of his farms.
When we spoke he'd just gotten back from a gathering at the University of Oregon. He said more than 1,000 people attended, many of them people in their 30s who want to farm. Most of those young people grew up in the suburbs and don't really know about farming. "Growing up on a farm, you learn a lot by osmosis," he said.
Still, he's dedicated to getting more people into farming and doing it in a way that's good for the environment, for the consumer and for the grower.
Maybe you'll pick up some of his carrots when they're in season starting in July. "The varieties we grow are a little different from those California orange sticks," Huber said. "Those are designed to be hauled down the road. We try to raise something people will enjoy eating."
His formula is one people really can live with.

The youngest of three children, John David Hannah was born in East Kilbride, Scotland on April 23, 1962. The working class family resided in a council house and his father was employed as tool maker, while his mother was a cleaner at a Marks & Spencer outlet. Hannah attended Claremont High School, where he displayed enough aptitude in math and related subjects, that he left school at age 16 to pursue a career as an electrician. An arrangement with his employer allowed Hannah to also attend college on a part-time basis. However, after four years as an electrical apprentice - which involved much standing around on freezing cold work sites - Hannah decided that he needed a change. Based on a fr... Continue Bio >>

Fitbit Reviews
If you are trying to get fit or just want to have an accurate guide to your daily energy expenditure it can be tedious keeping records yourself. The Fitbit monitor can do all this and more to help you keep track of your daily activities and how you can adjust them to best meet your fitness goals. Judging by the Fitbit reviews a lot of people seem to find it a useful piece of equipment.
The Fitbit Tracker is a 3D motion sensor that is clipped to the users clothing or placed in a pocket. It senses motion in three dimensions in a similar way to the Nintendo Wii and keeps track of the physical intensity and duration of your movements during the time you are wearing it. For example, it will measure and record calories burned, steps taken how far you have walked, and it will even give you data about your sleep patterns, such as how long it took you to fall asleep, the number of times you woke up throughout the night and for how long you were asleep.

A clever function of this device is that its base unit can be synced to a PC and you only have to walk within 15 feet of the base unit and the data recorded by the Fitbit Tracker will be automatically uploaded to the Fitbit website. When the user logs on the Fitbit website he/she can access the information that has been uploaded and use this to analyze the day's activities.
- Accurately tracks your calories burned, steps taken, distance traveled and sleep quality
- Simply carry it in your pocket or clip it to your clothing, and the Fitbit automatically keeps track of your fitness and sleep.
- Anytime you walk by the included wireless base station, data from your Fitbit is silently uploaded
- Contains a 3D motion sensor like the one found in the Nintendo Wii, which tracks your motion in three dimensions and converts this into useful information about your daily activities
Fitbit review
There were a lot of Fitbit reviews and they were predominantly from satisfied users. The unit was said to a very useful method of keeping track of activities such as walking and calories burned and most people were of the opinion that if it wasn't for the Fitbit they wouldn't keep records themselves. Another feature of the unit that drew comment was the fact that it only weighs 0.5 of an ounce and the wearer is not really aware of using it. The ease of transmitting the recorded information to the Fitbit website was also a plus point mentioned in many Fitbit reviews.
The unit received praise for its accuracy from many reviewers. Some folks had actually checked it against running tracks at their gym and found it to be accurate for measuring walking and running. It wasn't thought to be so accurate when it came to measuring sleeping habits according to some Fitbit reviews as it was possible for the unit to confuse a person lying very still with being asleep.
Not all the Fitbit reviews gave the product the thumbs up. Some people would have preferred to have had software on their computer for monitoring the data and their improvement rather than having to log on to a website. Against this, of course, is the amount of hard disc storage that this would take up, especially if the unit is used a lot. Another disappointment for some people was the fact that it doesn't monitor exercises other than walking and running. It is possible to enter other activities such as cycling into your data record on the Fitbit website but this was not as accurate in some peoples' opinions.
Based on the Fitbit reviews it would seem that the Fitbit works well and saves the user the tedious chore of recording their exercise and other activities. It has been shown to be accurate and has a reasonable price tag. In the circumstances we have no hesitation in recommending that you buy Fitbit.

I got my fitbit for chistmas and i absolutely love it. That is why i was extremely disappointed when about 2 months later it stopped working. I emailed the company and after some online trouble shooting that didn't work they did the unthinkable. The company actually mailed me a new one. I KNOW RIGHT. I thought good customer service was a dying art form. No receipt, box or proof of purchase necessary. I also got it in two days after order was processed. I feel whole again with my fitbit snuggly on my body. I wear it ALL the time. It helps me stay motivated, even makes me work a little harder and eat a little less. I have to say it was my best christmas present. I am a FitBiter for LIFE.

Ronald Reagan once said, "No matter how big and powerful government gets, and the many services it provides, it can never take the place of volunteers." As we fight to reign in the size and scope of our national government, I am reminded that the strength of our communities doesn't lie in what our government provides for us; it is about the quality and character of good, hardworking people and the bond we have with one another to help those in need.
One of my not always small list of faults is a tendency to not put on paper the comments I hear from readers when outside the office. Whether phone calls, e-mails I receive at home or comments heard when I'm out and about, I am the happy recipient of regular ideas, tips, complaints and suggestions for stories, features and, on occasion, this column. I just don't always remember them or jot them down, so I will.

Sonia Gandhis Food Security Act, BJP prime ministerial hopeful Narendra Modi thunders in the script I have dreamt up for him, delivers each family a maximum of R500 of subsidies every monththats assuming a R20 per kilo subsidy on 25 kilos of wheat and rice. Why do you want to settle for just R500 per month when you can earn that much in one or two days from the jobs I will provide you? When the NDA was in power, it created around 12 million jobs each year on average compared to just 2.4 million jobs created a year by the UPA in its 10-year tenure.
The BJPs prime ministerial candidate, it is clear, isnt going to take speech tips from a journalist, and one who doesnt even cover politics, but he may take a report just released by the McKinsey Global Institute a bit more seriously. And so he should, given the collective consulting experience, and across so many countries, of those involved in the study. Like any McKinsey report, this one too has a graph on every other page and complicated econometrics on many others. But if you dont get lost in this, there are some very clear takeaways, not just for a Modi, but more so for those in the UPA who are convinced most problems can be solved by throwing more money at them.
Its not as if the experts at McKinsey dont believe public spending needs to be stepped up. Indeed, one of the graphics in the report From Poverty to
Empowerment, talks of how while the number of services used by a household rises as income levels do, the same cannot always be said about community servicesits interesting that some of Indias richest cities (think Gurgaon) have the least access to community services like piped water and sewerage. Another graph talks of how it is expenditure on health that needs to be stepped up dramatically if Indias poor are to be brought out of povertythe share of social services expenditure on health/water/sanitation needs to rise from around 21% right now to nearly 50% over the next decade.
But the really big takeaway, and this is where Modis imaginary speech comes in, nearly three-fourths of the reduction in the number of people below the poverty line (McKinsey uses the term Empowerment Gap since it hikes up the poverty line expenditure by what households need to spend on, for

UMass University Store
1 Campus Center Way
Amherst, MA 01003
Minutemen will play their first four games away from home.
Aug 28, 2013
• UMass opens the 2013 men's soccer campaign with four games away from home. The 71st edition of UMass soccer gets underway Friday evening at 5:30 p.m. ET in Peoria, Ill. against Evansville in the Hotels at Grand Prairie Classic. Two days later, the Minutemen will get a shot at the host school, Bradley, at 1:30 p.m. ET. • Both opponents this weekend are members of the Missouri Valley Conference. The Valley finished the 2012 season with a league RPI of No. 7, including four teams in the top-100 - former league member Creighton (6), SIUE (37), Evansville (83) and Bradley (100).
About UMass • The Minutemen return 13 letter winners and six starters, including leading scorer Josh Schwartz. The junior forward led the Minutemen in points (12), goals (5), assists (2) and game-winning goals (2) in addition to being named Academic All-District. Second-leading scorer Matt Keys (3 goals, 1 GWG) will anchor a defense that lost half of its back four to graduation and all of the team's minutes in goal. Redshirt freshman Nick Ruiz is expected to get the start on Friday.
About Evansville• Evansville is coming off a 9-8-1 season and returns 10 starters and nearly 90-percent of it's goals scored in 2012. The Purple Aces were picked to finish second in a vote of the Missouri Valley Conference coaches while garnering a pair of first-place votes. UE has a pair of strong sophomores in Faik Hajderovic (5 goals, 5 assists) and Mark Gonzalez (5 goals, 1 assist) leading the way on offense. Defensively, juniors Patrick Hodges, Charlie Macias and goalkeeper Eric Teppen who were each honorable mention all-MVC selections in 2012 should provide a formidable back line to challenge the UMass attack.• UE played a pair of exhibition matches last weekend, defeating Belmont 3-0 on the road in Nashville and returning home to Indiana where it played Indianapolis to a scoreless draw.
About Bradley• Bradley also returns 10 starters from a year ago and was selected fourth in the MVC poll with two frist place votes of its own. The Braves were 10-6-4 tied for third in the MVC standings (with Evansville) as both squads sported matching 3-2-1 league marks. Despite losing their top two scorers from 2012, they return six players that scored multiple goals, led by the senior trio of Wojciech Wojcik (3 goals, 4 assists), Ross Williams (2 goals, 6 assists) and Scott Davis (3 goals, 1 assist). Senior goalkeeper Brian Billings, a two-time all-MVC honoree, will anchor the Bradley defense between the pipes. The Braves are also receiving votes in the NSCAA's preseason poll. • The Braves defeated UMKC 4-2 in a 120-minute exhibition contest on Saturday in Kansas City. True freshman Christian Okeke had a pair of goals, while Wojcik and Alon Badat each had one.
Schwartz Named Preseason All-Atlantic 10• Junior F Josh Schwartz was among 27 players named to the preseason Atlantic 10 All-Conference team by College Sports Madness. Schwartz was listed among the four second team forwards and the only UMass player.• The Annapolis, Md. native led the Minutemen with five goals, two assists and three game-winners a year ago. He was also named to the College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-District team.
O'Neill Returns To Face Former Team• Second year assistant coach Devin O'Neill is returning to his old home this weekend with a trip to Bradley. The West Springfield, Mass. native was an assistant to coach Jim DeRose from 2010-11 and recruited many of the current players on the Braves' roster. BU went 26-15-5 - including 15 wins in 2011 - and made consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time in school history.
Sidibe Finishes First Professional Season With USL Kitsap Pumas• Former midfielder Hellah Sidibe recently completed his first season of professional soccer. He appeared in 11 games for the Kitsap (Wash.) Pumas of the United Soccer League's Premier Development League. The four-year letter winner from 2009-12 took four shots on the year as he averaged just over 50 minutes/match.

If I don't do it this way, my wife and son find all sorts of ways to keep me from my ride. That is exactly what happened the one day I actually TOLD her I had the day off.

On Saturday, the family of Lauren Giddings laid flowers outside of her apartment.
Macon Police say they believe a body found on Thursday at the apartment building on Georgia Avenue was the recent Mercer Law graduate.
Giddings has been missing since last Saturday night.
Macon Police Sgt. Kenneth Chapman identified the two adults and three children as Giddings immediate family.
They put flowers on the railings of the apartment building, in front of Lauren's apartment and on the gate in front of the building.
When asked if they had something to say, they told us, "We just want everybody to remember Lauren."
For the third day, Macon Police were at the apartment building.
Chapman says police and other officials will continue to monitor the scene and search for clues at the Barristers Hall Apartments 24 hours a day for the next several days.
Friends and family also gathered this afternoon to pray for the Giddings family.
Around 4:30, nearly 20 people, including Giddings' cousins, came together at Mercer Law School, which is across the street from Giddings apartment.
They joined hands and prayed for the family, and they also quoted inspirational scriptures from the Bible.
Students say they put together the event to show their support for the family.
The Rev. Allan McDonald, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in downtown Macon, discussed Giddings' death during the weekend's Masses.
He said Giddings was a member of the parish and its campus youth ministry.
He said he met Saturday morning with Giddings' parents and that they had returned to Maryland Saturday night.
The killing happened about three blocks from the church on Poplar Street.
If you have any information on this case, police ask you to call them at 478-751-7500.

i'd reported a "call of juarez the cartel" sound echo problem to:
then i'd used my support ticket.
I watched every day my mail box but i missed
the ubisoft request message about adding details on my issue.
So their ubisoft autobot said that if there's no question, there's no problem or the problem is fixed but they did not read any comment in my message.
It seems that the tech help is controlled by a stupid bot, sending stupid messages until you loose any hope to contact the tech help.
I'm really patient but it's a pain in the ***
to get any help from ubisoft.
In fact, there's so many people asking support that ubisoft can't read 1% of them and they prefer to concentrate on their big franchise like Assassin's Creed.
So, i'd stopped playing with coj the cartel because there's too much bugs in it
and no support to figure out there's a lot of things to fix.

Friday Afternoon News, August 15
Farmers Wonder If Cool Temperatures May Mean Early Frost
(Le Mars) -- With the cooler temperatures that we have been experiencing, many farmers are wondering if that may mean an early frost is likely this year. If frost were to come early, would our crops have reached maturity so yields won't be compromised? Joel DeJong, Iowa State University Extension Crops Specialist for northwest Iowa details how much more time the corn crop needs in order to become fully mature.
Listen to
DeJong says if temperatures remain cooler than normal for a significant time period, that could further slow down the maturity development process. He says the closer to the maturity date before frost hits, the less likelihood for yield loss.
Listen to
The crops specialist says the corn crop is falling behind on growing degree days.

Iowa Corn Maze To Look Like TV Personality Al Roker
ATKINS, Iowa (AP) - An eastern Iowa farm has found a creative way to celebrate "Today" show weatherman Al Roker's 60th birthday.
Bloomsbury Farm in Atkins has put together a 10-acre corn maze that shows Roker's face and reads, "Happy 60th Al."
Farm owners Dave and Karen Petersen have chosen a different theme for their corn maze each year for more than a decade. They work with The Maize Company, which designs and cuts the corn.
Karen Peterson says the couple chose Roker because "he seems like a great guy." They also appreciate his charity work.
The corn maze took six hours to cut and includes two miles for the public to explore. It formally opens during the Labor Day weekend and runs through Halloween.
Assault Case Against County Assessor Dropped
MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - An assault case against the city assessor for Mason City has been dropped.
Online court records say the charge against 38-year-old Danielle "Dana" Naumann was dismissed on Wednesday after a request by Floyd County Attorney Normand Klemesrud. He'd been appointed as a special prosecutor because of a potential conflict of interest for the Cerro Gordo County attorney's office.
The dismissal motion by Klemesrud states there is insufficient evidence to justify prosecution and conviction. It also states Naumann has a valid self-defense claim.
Naumann was arrested in July.
Digital Constitution
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A digital replica of the Iowa Constitution is now available online for public viewing.
Secretary of State Matt Schultz said Friday that the document from 1857 had been scanned so that a replica could be provided online. Previously, people could only see the original beneath glass in the Secretary of State's office at the State Capitol.
The constitution - which features 40 pages of hand-written text - was digitized through a partnership between Schultz's office and the State Library of Iowa. The library bought a $23,000 scanner a year ago to use on fragile documents.
State officials said they hope the public will enjoy being able to look over the historic document. The digital version of the Iowa Constitution is on the State Library of Iowa's website.
Pole Hits SUV In Accident
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) - Dubuque authorities say a utility pole on the back of a truck grazed a 12-year-old when the pole penetrated the vehicle carrying her and a 16-year-old driver.
Police say the accident occurred around 8:20 a.m. Thursday. The truck had halted at a stop light, and the 16-year-old driver told police that she didn't see the pole extending off the truck in time to stop sooner.
Her 12-year-old passenger refused medical treatment. The driver wasn't injured.
Deere To Lay Off 600 Employees
MOLINE, Ill. (AP) - Agricultural equipment maker Deere is announcing it will indefinitely lay off more than 600 employees at four of its factories in the Midwest as demand slumps.
The affected sites are in the cities of East Moline and Moline in Illinois, as well as Ankeny, Iowa, and Coffeyville, Kansas.
Deere & Co. said in a news release Friday that "to remain globally competitive, the company must align the size of its manufacturing workforce with market demands for products."
Deere is the world's biggest farm equipment supplier.
The company said it is also implementing seasonal and inventory adjustment shutdowns and temporary layoffs at the four affected factories as well as one in Ottumwa, Iowa.
Earlier this week, the company announced that its third-quarter profit dropped 15 percent as sales weakened.
Dubuque Teachers To Monitor Students' Heart Rates
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) - Dubuque teachers will be able to monitor students' heart rates through a web-based program while they exercise at school.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports the program gives Dubuque Community School District teachers an idea of physical activity levels by middle school and high school students while they exercise in class.
Students will place a strap containing a heart sensor around their chests. The sensors will send data about the students' heart rates that will be projected onto a screen or wall in class while they're exercising.
The online application that collects the data is called Polar GoFit. It also shows how close a student is to reaching his or her target heart rate.
Iowa City Building Listed On Historic Registry
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa City preservation commission has given historic status to a building that once served as a boarding house for black college students.
The designation by the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission should prevent any future demolition or significant exterior changes to the Tate Arms building.
The building was owned and operated by Elizabeth "Bettye" Tate. It was built in 1900 and served as a housing facility for black male students when residential housing at the University of Iowa was segregated. Tate died at age 93 in 1999.
A real estate company owns the property. It plans to build multi-story, residential properties next to the building.

"The God of patience"
In Jesus' "parable of the sower," successful Christian life is compared to growth of a crop that requires care, time, and patience:
"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved."
The principle of Biblical patience is often a matter of "No Pain, No Gain":
"we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope" (Romans 5:1-4 KJV)
The Seasons Of The Harvest require patience:
"Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh." (James 5:7-8 KJV)
The "God of patience" provides time for us to grow:
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus" (Romans 15:4-5 KJV)
Fact Finder: What should Christians be doing while they're being patient?

Where You Stand Depends on Where You Sit (The Wall Street Journal)
July 23, 2013
In The Wall Street Journal's online forum The Experts, Dartmouth's H. Gilbert Welch responds to the question: Two years from now, what will doctors be saying about the Affordable Care Act?
In his response, Welch, a professor of medicine at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, writes, "How doctors feel about these changes will likely depend on who they care for now. In other words: Where you stand on the Act depends on where you sit."
Welch explains, "Those doctors who provide care to the well-insured portion of the population will see little effect from these changes." He adds that, "Those doctors who care for less fortunate populations will be more enthusiastic," and that others "may see patients they've never seen before—patients who have not seen a doctor for years, but now can."

Dave's Diary: Investing in the Old Boys' ClubFriday, October 28th, 2011
Academia is a strong brew, taken without milk or sugar, steeped in tradition, and drunk from ceremonial cups. Its roots extend at least as far back as Plato's Academy and perhaps as long ago as 2257 BC in China.
We don't often think of the tradition associated with higher education these days, especially as the institution of academia comes under heavy fire from all quarters, accused of not preparing graduates adequately for the job market, inflicting undue and irreparable amounts of student debt, and just plain not being worth the investment. With that kind of ammunition being levelled at you, it's pretty easy to get caught up in simply trying to defend your current existence, let alone inspiring an appreciation for something you've been upholding for thousands of years.
In other words, tradition doesn't mean squat to an unemployed graduate with the weight of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt on their shoulders. (more…)

The Kardashians
New Report Claims Kim Kardashian Had Lipo and Butt Injections
Kim Kardashian has long denied reports that her delicate features and ample curves are the work of a skilled surgeon and not mother nature, but a new report claims that the star has not only had plenty of work done, but has gone to great lengths to conceal it.
Kim attempted to prove once and for all that her famous booty, which has been the subject of the most speculation, was real by having it X-rayed on TV, but a source for Life & Style says that it was simply a tactic to divert attention for the procedure she actually had performed.
"Kim had lipo on her legs and the doctor moved the fat into her butt. That's why it didn't show up on the X-ray," said a source for the website.
Dr. Michelle Copeland, who has not performed work on Kim, added that Kim's shape appears to have undergone an overhaul, which could have even included the implants she originally denied.
"It definitely appears that Kim had her butt augmented," said the doctor. "An implant has to be radio opaque to show up on an X-ray, so it's possible she has a type of implant that would not be detected."

Like Vegas in August, mobile security is hot at Black Hat
LAS VEGAS--Mobile security is a hot topic at the Black Hat security conference being held this week in Las Vegas.
For example, researchers at Accuvant Labs will be talking about how carrier control software used on over 2 billion mobile devices has security vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit to find out the device password and intercept traffic.
The software is used by carriers to push over-the-air updates, as well as remote lock or wipe the device and perform diagnostics and resetting.
"Someone with knowledge of these controls and the right techniques could potentially leverage them for cellular exploitation on a global scale," the researchers warn in a description of the presentation.
In a pre-brief about the talk, researcher Matthew Solnik tells eWeek that 70 percent of the carriers his research team examined used the same back-end carrier system with the same vulnerable software.
The software uses an insecure public device identifier, opening up the device to attackers who could steal the password, he explains.
In addition, researchers from FireEye will give a talk on a technique that uses advertising technology to take over Android phones.
The researchers call the attack vector the Sidewinder Targeted Attack, which exploits Javascript and dynamic loading vulnerabilities. By exploiting these flaws, attackers could remotely take photos using the phone's camera, call phone numbers, send SMS, and read and write on the clipboard.
"Once intruding into the target, the attackers can exploit several Android vulnerabilities to get valuable privacy information or initiate more advanced attacks," the researchers explain in the summary of their talk.
I am here at Black Hat and will be sharing these and other mobile security insights with you in the coming days. - Fred

The Ford Mustang, more power than you can shake a stick at, Real head turner - catches every ones eye, great upgrade options. Great handling, most people expect it to be very soft - but ride is very European. Live axle great for straight line acceleration can be a bit too jumpy whem putting power down on bumpy UK corners.
Interior has a great retro design but the plastics are poor and 3000 miles in there are already a couple of annoying rattles in the dash board.

To help Australians avoid difficulties overseas, we maintain travel advisories for more than 170 destinations.
The Australian Passport Office and its agents are committed to providing a secure, efficient and responsive passport service for Australia.
The information you provide will help us contact you in an emergency.
Total Australian Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the Philippines will be an estimated $81.9 million in 2016-17. Our economic partnership with the Philippines will focus all elements of our trade, investment and aid initiatives working together to promote growth.
Australia will deliver targeted advice and technical assistance that will have a catalytic effect both on reform efforts and the capacity of the Philippines' government. Given the Philippines' currently positive economic position we will shift focus from basic service delivery, such as classroom construction, towards supporting the Philippines Government to better manage its own resources.
The strategic direction of Australian aid to the Philippines is informed by the Australian Government's development policy Australian aid: promoting prosperity, reducing poverty, enhancing stability; Australia's national interests; by our ability to add value; and our previous development results. Australia's aid will align with the priorities of the Philippines Government which is seeking to put the country on the path of accelerated and inclusive development. The Philippine Administration has an ambitious reform agenda to tackle poverty, improve governance and address corruption, while pushing through important social sector reforms, including education, and promoting peace in the Southern Philippines.
The Philippines is one of Australia's longest-standing bilateral relationships. We have shared interests and values, supported by strong people-to-people links. Australia is home to over 250,000 people of Filipino heritage, with over 10,000 Filipino students are enrolled in Australian universities and vocational institutions. Australia's interests in the Philippines will be pursued by the development of a well-managed and stable Philippine government and a more prosperous, inclusive and open economy. A more open economy will not only benefit Filipinos, but also allow both nations to continue to pursue a mature economic partnership. Two-way trade was $3.8 billion in 2014, but has the potential to grow and benefit both countries.
Our aid program is organised around the following three mutually reinforcing objectives as outlined in the Aid Investment Plan.
Australia will make greater investment in building the foundations for economic growth through carefully targeted investments in infrastructure, aid for trade and education. Education investments will lay the ground work for a better educated workforce and promote higher participation in the formal labour market.
Enhancing the foundations for economic growth
Improving the quality of governance in the Philippines is fundamental to the country's prosperity and stability. In response to the challenge of weak institutions and corruption, we will support the national government as it fosters a culture of accountability and transparency.
Building stronger institutions for transparent and accountable governance
Australia's national interest in regional political stability promotes programs in Mindanao that support a more credible and widely supported peace agreement, heightened institutional capacity to implement the agreement and stronger local mechanisms for averting the escalation of violence. Our programs will also have a positive impact in the medium term on poverty and growth at the local level. Australia's investments in peace and stability are targeted, flexible and build on previous experience.
Improving conditions for peace and stability
The Philippines program has been reshaped to form a consolidated program aligned with the key objectives of inclusive economic growth; effective governance; and peace and stability. This reflects a transition from a traditional donor-recipient partnership to an economic partnership with the Philippines, with an emphasis on investments that are targeted, catalytic, leverage the Philippine Government's own resources and are based on the Philippines' own commitments in the Philippines' Development Plan.
We will launch a new aid for trade facility designed to deliver results in priority policy areas including trade facilitation, international competiveness and effective governance. We will also design a new infrastructure program to promote improved infrastructure planning and delivery and will continue to support Public Private Partnerships. We will support education initiatives by transitioning from a focus on classroom construction to the provision of technical advice to improve standards and teaching and learning outcomes, allowing the Philippine education system to perform at international levels.
The Human Resource and Organisational Development Facility will be realigned to focus on a smaller set of primarily economic agencies, and the Australia Awards Scholarships 2016 intake will be reduced from 120 to 60 scholars. We will continue modest support to peace and stability programs, particularly in the southern Philippines and Muslim Mindanao, through a range of education and governance initiatives.
There will be no new funding for disaster risk management initiatives. Disaster risk reduction principles, environmental and social safeguards and disability-inclusive policies will be routinely and consistently considered in the design, implementation and monitoring of our aid investments, particularly in the infrastructure sector. Australia will continue to be a responsive neighbour to support the Philippines Government to respond to large scale natural disaster events.

Child's pregnancy sets off Chile abortion debate
SANTIAGO, Chile The case of a pregnant 11-year old girl who was raped in Chile by her mother's partner has set off a national debate about abortion in one of the most socially-conservative countries in Latin America.
Chileans were outraged on Friday after state TV reported that the girl is 14 weeks pregnant and was raped repeatedly over two years. Police in the remote southern city of Puerto Montt arrested her mother's partner, who confessed to abusing the fifth grader. The case was brought to their attention by the pregnant child's maternal grandmother.
Doctors say the girl's life and that of the fetus are at high risk. But in Chile, ending the pregnancy is not an option.
Chile allowed abortions for medical reasons until they were outlawed in 1973 by Gen. Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. The current government of conservative President Sebastian Pinera has opposed any loosening of the prohibition.
Many Chileans were venting outrage on social media Friday. Some started an online campaign to demand legalization of abortion in cases of rape or health risks for the mother.
"When I heard about this little girl my first reaction was to support abortion because I think it's the best option in this case," said Eduardo Hernandez, a 30-year-old web designer.
"It's the first online petition I've signed in my life, but I think this case really deserves it," Hernandez said. "We should have a law. I hope this case serves as precedent to have a serious discussion about abortion."
"We're faced with an 11-year-old girl whose childhood has been damaged and she's pregnant," Nicole Salvatierra, a 26-year-old-journalist, told The Associated Press in an email exchange after earlier speaking out about the case on Twitter. "The state is blocking a way to revert this situation. It's twice as bad for her. That's what's criminal, not interrupting the pregnancy in the context that justifies it."
But more conservative members of Chilean society oppose all abortions and the nation's Senate last year rejected three bills last year that would have eased the absolute ban.
"The Senate has voted in favor of life, of the unborn child, a policy the government has defended," Cristian Larroulet, a top presidential aide, said after one of the votes.
One of the bills would have permitted abortion if two doctors said it was needed because of risks to a mother's life or other medical reasons, such as a fetus with low chances of survival. Another one of the measures that was rejected would have allowed abortion in the event of rape.
Forty years after a brutal dictatorship, Chile remains firmly conservative in social matters. It legalized divorce in 2004, becoming one of the last nations in the world to grant married couples that right.
"Chile is a country that has modernized when it comes to its economy, but when it comes to its social and political culture, it has become stagnant and this is seen with the abortion issue," said Marta Lagos, head of the Santiago-based pollster Mori.
"It's a country that is adverse to change, that panics with any change, which is seen as a threat," Lagos said. "The weight of Catholicism is still a major issue and we also have a millenary indigenous culture that always lived alienated from the rest of world. We're part of that millenary culture of isolation."
The Roman Catholic Church retains a strong influence over society, although it has lost credibility since 2010, when four men alleged that they were abused by one of Chile's most revered priests when they were between 14 and 17 years old.
Pinera announced measures last year to combat child abuse, responding to a popular outcry over a spike in reports of these crimes. He toughened penalties on convicted pedophiles, increased the forensic institute's budget and created a children's ombudsman to protect their rights.

Cheesy Straws Recipe
"This was the very first recipe I learned to cook...my grandmother would help my twin sister and me make these fun snacks when we were 5 or 6 years old," recalls Sheri Vero of Ocala, Florida.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika or garlic salt, optional
- 1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a food processor, combine flour, butter and cheese. Cover and process until well blended. Divide into four portions; shape each into a ball. Roll between pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap into 7-in. x 5-in. rectangles.
- 2. Cut into 5-in. x 1/2-in. strips. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and, if desired, paprika or garlic salt.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled cheese straws in resealable plastic freezer bags. To use, reheat on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 350° oven until crisp and heated through. Yield: about 4 1/2 dozen.

Gilchrist / Model 5 Mandolin / 1999 / Stringed Instrument
Our Discount Price is $24,735.00 and Our Cash Discount Price is $23,995.00.
#99445, brown sunburst varnish finish, in excellent (or better) original condition with a black exterior Calton hard shell case.
Mr. Gilchrist and Mr. Monteleone comprise two of the world's highest level builders of Florentine-style mandolins. Players around the globe are willing to wait five, six or more years to obtain a Gilchrist. This mandolin, which was made in Stephen's home town of Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia, displays a headstock emblazoned with a large, colorful abalone and pearl torch at the center and, above that is gleaming the stylized "Gilchrist" underlined logo inlaid in script pearl. Attached thereto is a traditional bell-shaped black plastic truss rod cover held in place by two roundhead screws. The nut on this example is mother of pearl; the bridge is carved ebony and two-piece in the traditional style dating back to the signed Loar mandolins of 1922-'24. The silvery-covered hinged tailpiece is a proprietary design that is etched "Gilchrist" with small leaves above and below, that features a quick release device that allows it to open on a spring to allow string changes (and also to flip aluminum soda can tabs if you are so inclined).
The fingerboard is black ebony, inlaid with six bright and colorful mother of pearl dotmarkers in five positions, bound in ivoroid with ebony underlay. The top, back and tortoise shell plastic elevated pickguard are bordered in ivoroid-black-ivoroid. Tuners are high quality (maybe Schaller) with pearl buttons, each bearing a Phillips screw and washer on the outside center. Said tuner plates are engraved in a repeating floral pattern. The two-piece back is beautifully figured maple – intensely grained, and the sides and the back of the one-piece neck (other than the ears of course that allow for the twin headstock scrolls) are curly maple. The width of the first fret at the nut is generous and easy to negotiate - slightly wider than 1 3/16th and slightly smaller than 1 ¼".
This instrument is in excellent or possibly excellent plus condition showing some very small fingernail marks in the finish on the treble side of the pickguard, a few other light and extremely small scratches or indents here and there, the lightest possible degree of fret wear mainly on courses 1 and 2, a few minute nicks around the headstock (and other places) but nothing serious – just what one would expect from eleven years of careful ownership.
The sound of this mandolin is celestial, producing a sound that makes other mandolins shiver from the sudden cool breeze that is often felt in abandoned Victorian houses when the moon is full, and huddle behind their woolen shawls, trying to look inconspicuous. As with other Gilchrist mandolins we have had, this instrument can be as sweet and mild as the caress of a peacock feather when she wants to be, but with just a little more plectral pressure, can also generate enough amperage to provide electric power to the entire village of Cropsey, Illinois (around 2 hours southwest of Chicago), where Lloyd Loar was himself born on January 9, 1886. The density and resonance of her tone, her infinitely variable sensitivity and irrepressible strength and vigor, make for a mandolin that, at only a tiny fraction of the price of Mr. Loar's consummate construction, gives you 88.5% of the thrill of owning the '20s paradigm. This is a mandolin for a monumental musician, but even if that doesn't exactly describe your own personal skills, if you owned an instrument of this stature the expression "you can get there from here" would apply.

Microsoft has revealed that the Xbox 360 is only used only 60% of the time for games.
Microsoft's corporate vice president and chief operating and financial officer of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, Dennis Durkin, revealed the statistic at a Digital Entertainment Conference in New York this week. "What we found is the core gamer might be the person who brought the console into the house, but as you widen the choices of content, it broadens what people can do with the system," Durkin said.
Microsoft has found that 40% of Xbox Live members in the U.S. are using their consoles for non-gaming activities like watching movies from Netflix, listening to Zune music and using social networking services like Twitter and Facebook. News.com reports that Microsoft currently has 25 million Xbox Live subscribers, half of which pay for the gold premium service.
Durkin also spoke about the Xbox's controller-less gaming accessory, Kinect, which was released last week. Durking didn't reveal specific sales numbers but said "everything we've been shipping has been selling."

LACEY, Wash. -- The President has declared a major disaster declaration for 19 Washington counties as a result of the severe winter storms, landslides and mudslides of Dec. 14-15. Under this declaration the Public Assistance (PA) program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is made available to entities in the following counties: Chelan, Clallam, Clark, Grant, Grays Harbor, Island, King, Klickitat, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Pend Oreille, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, Skamania, Snohomish, Thurston and Wahkiakum.
"The Presidential declaration opens the door to FEMA grants that help public entities with reconstruction of their infrastructure," said Libby Turner, Federal Coordinating Officer for this disaster. "The PA program strengthens communities which do not have the means or resources to bounce back from a disaster, helping to ensure a community's important public needs are met."
The PA program helps public agencies respond to disasters, recover from their impact, and mitigate against future disasters. PA grants reimburse State and local governments, tribal authorities, and certain private non-profit (PNP) organizations of a governmental nature for eligible costs associated with debris removal and emergency protective measures, as well as permanent repairs and replacement of public buildings and infrastructure. FEMA reimburses 75 percent of eligible cost.
All interested PNPs should begin the process by registering with FEMA through the state. FEMA will classify those PNP facilities as either critical or non-critical and will take their application or refer them to the SBA for a low-interest disaster loan to cover its property damages. Some examples of PNPs that may be referred to the SBA are food kitchens, homeless shelters, museums, libraries, youth programs, YMCAs and YWCAs. PNPs may contact SBA toll free at 800-659-2955.
"The State and FEMA will conduct briefings to explain the public assistance process to applicants," said Washington State Coordinating Officer Kurt Hardin. "Applicants will be notified of their briefing date, time and location through their emergency management offices."
FEMA's Individual Assistance has not been authorized for this disaster. Those who have emergency needs from the storm should contact their local officials and voluntary agencies for assistance.
FEMA manages federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident, initiates mitigation activities and manages the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA works closely with State and local emergency managers, law enforcement personnel, firefighters, and other first responders. FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003.

Great two-piece workout bikini top
By G. Medina from Concord, CA on 5/27/2016 9:41:30 AM
Size: TRUE
It is a tiny bit small, but I'd rather have that extra support than a suit that is too big, especially when I am working out. I hate having horrible tan lines, so I try to find suits that will minimize the amount of tan lines that I end up with (I think about the sun, and I start to tan, so it's rough). It's actually quite comfortable and holds up well.

I am 5'7" 160lbs. I no longer compete and ride for fitness and recreation.
I have toured only 4x...I plan to increase touring by completing 5-7 days trips...eventually working up to Cross-Country. I believe I should do considerable training on my touring rig to get it dialed in. So i want to buy a durable - comfortable rig.
To the point....i attempted to order a LHT..(Surly - long haul trucker)...and hesitated when i saw my selected frame size 52cm was only 26" wheels...even their 54cm is 26"..Why??. All of my other Road/Cross bikes are 700c.with 54cm top tubes - which i feel comfortable on....am i really that short?! I used to compete in triathlon and am well aware of the argument of 26" vs 700c.....but never really had to place my vote until now!
My intended use: I plan to use this for: training; winter rides; loaded touring on pavement; maybe touring on dirt roads;
I am afraid of buying this thing and being disappointed in the performance of 26" vs 700..speed...handling characteristics...etc....Ive considered the 17" Trek 520 which has 700c.
