Meryl Streep Attacks Walt Disney

Jon Gosselin is calling out his ex-wife Kate Gosselin, saying he believes she's exploiting their eight children for financial gain and to regain her relevancy! Jon Gosselin said, "She uses them as her props. It's a problem for her that she can't afford her old lifestyle anymore. I think she wants a show on TV again — I consider that exploitation." Kate Gosselin has been struggling financially and emotionally. My sources are telling me that the children have been "upset" and "embarrassed" by Kate Gosselin's mad dash to see her name in lights. Most of them don't want to film. But Jon Gosselin said that despite the toll its taking on the kids, Kate Gosselin will continue to try and get a new show because "she has to stay relevant. "It's her pride. She wants to prove to everyone that she's still got it." KIDS SHOULD COME FIRST!
Is Kim Kardashian losing her hair?! That seems to be the case! She was spotted wearing a top-bun recently, and it revealed something surprising about her hairline! Along the back of her neck, there were obvious bald patches with extensions in place to cover the hair loss up. Apparently it's normal for some mothers to lose hair after giving birth due to hormonal fluctuations, but according to some hair experts, it might be Kim Kardashian's rapid weight loss that's to blame! Sounds like shedding that extra baby weight ASAP wasn't so great for her after all! OH NO!
Tori Spelling is definitely staying strong for her kids, but her marriage issues with husband Dean McDermott are taking a toll on her! I'm being told that not only is she and her husband leading separate lives following a recent report which claims that Dean McDermott cheated on Tori Spelling, but I'm also being told that she is still trying to process the tabloid scandal which is currently plaguing her personal life. Tori Spelling is doing her best to maintain a normal routine for her four children and is even wearing her wedding ring but things are very strained. She's putting on a happy face! How sad!
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez went into the wild over the weekend! They roughed it out in the wilderness and went camping near the beach in Santa Cruz, California. I use the term camping lightly because it was in an luxury RV at an upscale campground, KOA Kampgrounds. There were chaperones, Justin Bieber's dad and bodyguards. The price for the RV… $65 a night. Oh, and the RV is owned by Chris Brown and it has a big master bedroom, a kitchen, living room and, of course, lots of video games. So I doubt they ever saw any dirt!
I don't know how this Disney diss is going to go over! While presenting the Best Actress Award to Emma Thompson for
Saving Mr. Banks
at the National Board of Review Awards Gala on Tuesday, Meryl Streep slammed the late man behind the mouse, Walt Disney. She gave a 10-minute long tribute to Emma Thompson that proved to be quite a spectacle. She said, "Some of his associates reported that Walt Disney didn't really like women. Ward Kimball, who was one of his chief animators, one of the original 'Nine Old Men,' creator the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and Jiminy Cricket, said of Disney: 'He didn't trust women or cats.' And there is a piece of received wisdom that says that the most creative people are often odd, or irritating, eccentric, damaged, difficult…. Disney, who brought joy, arguably, to billions of people, was perhaps, or had some…racist pro-clivities… and he was certainly, on the evidence of his company's policies, a gender bigot…." WOW! Looks like Meryl Streep's chances of doing something Disney related are through!
Chris Brown and his bodyguard rejected a plea deal that would have found both men guilty of simple assault stemming from an alleged altercation with another male in Washington, D.C. last October. One of Chris Browns' lawyers, Danny Onorato, told reporters outside the D.C. Superior Court that attorneys decided not to accept the plea because Chris Brown is not guilty. Another hearing has been scheduled for February. Following the incident when it happened, Chris Brown was ordered to spend another three months in a residential treatment facility, submit to drug testing and take medication as prescribed by a doctor. He is required to complete 24 hours of community service a week during the course of his time in rehab. With this incident, Chris Brown faces a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $1,100 fine if convicted!

On August 6, 2007 the Web Design classroom door opened at 6 a.m., and closed for the night at 8 p.m. Students, teachers, and alumni came in shifts, setting up the main pages on our new website, eating, and having fun.
Special thanks to Jason Maxwell ('02), Terry Love ('05) and Danny Love ('06) for stopping by, seniors Nick Mele, Leah Dancie, Andrew Carter, Erik Barenwald, Pat Moore, Travis Newton, Jen Sulc, Lucas Read, John Behm, junior Matt Kleinstub, sophomores Greg Harriss and Justin Schultz, and to Mrs. Ganoe, Mrs. Subel, and Mr. Koltas. Without their help we would have never been able to launch the new site before school started.
Fun Fact: The last time we had an all-day Web Building Party was on December 4, 2001. On that day a group of 20 students helped convert our website to the then "new look" we just retired. Something was wrong with the heating system that day, and the temperature in the Web Classroom reached 98 degrees. On August 6, 2007, at 7 a.m. the temperature in the new Web Classroom was 85 degrees, and by late afternoon it was 98 degrees. Coincidence?

I just LOVE this little RV Park. It is located right on the North Fork of the Salmon River! There is 12 to 15 feet of grass separating you from the river. So close and simply gorgeous! Easy access off Hwy 93. Big Rig friendly. The sites are wide and quite long. The park is well maintained and extremely clean. This park is a treasure!!! In the morning we enjoyed sitting in our favorite camp chairs with a hot cup of coffee, watching the river.
We stayed here for over a month because we could not bring ourselves to leave! While here we checked out the other RV parks in the area. This one has them all beat and you can not beat the price. $20 night, $120 week and $360 month (Aug-Sept 2015) Thurs - Sun the restaurant opens at 5 p.m. serving the best thin crust pizza ever! They serve beer and wine & offer free WiFi. No cell service. The owners are very friendly and take great pride in their park. - Susan and Craig
Aug 2015 - $20.00
Would normally not give a park a "9" without cement pads, asphalt drive ways and no pool. But this small park is of such great value and beauty that it deserves the higher rating. All sites are located on the North Fork of the Salmon river about 15 feet from the stream. The owner was eager to please and took great pride in his park. Very easy access and the sites are wide and long. All of the utilities are well located. The only downside is there is no cell service but the wife was excellent. We would stay here again. - sjones

A small campground on a babbling stream that offers very clean bathrooms and showers, wonderful hospitality, large level sites with full hookups, internet, tent sites and a bunkhouse. The hospitality was first rate and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. There is also food and music in the restaurant on weekends. The rates are extremely reasonable. - MECamper

This is the second year we staying at this lovely park. I love that we can pull straight in with a river view out the windshield. The hosts make every effort to ensure a welcome and friendly stay. No bathrooms, or showers so you must be full hook-up. There is no cell service in North Fork, but the Wi-Fi is excellent. Daily rate is the monthly adjusted rate. - bajagirl1

This is a very very nice RV ark. We intended to just stay one night but ended up staying 5 and enjoyed every minute of our stay. All sites are right on the river. Every site was very adequate. We later learned this was the only park with full hooks ups on the river, and we were glad to have all of those amenities. We were scouting for an RV group from Florida, and we will be having a group return to this park next year. The owners were very friendly and helpful. I hesitate to post this as it is so quaint, but I cant help sharing our wonderful experience. - Flyingguy80

There eight sites, seven with grass and one on gravel next to a maintenance shed on the Salmon river. Very close to highway with lots of road noise and not good for walking a dog. No restrooms, laundry or showers. Owners try to be helpful. We paid for a month but only stayed two nights but were charged for two weeks. - Joyce & Fred

Campground is a flat meadow behind store with some trees. Road & sites are gravel. Houses and construction going on right next to campground. My site was dead-on level. Good WiFi. You need LOTS of quarters to take a shower - 16 of them! That's four bucks extra if you want to take a shower. Overall, I was disappointed with this place and will not be back. - Bill51
Sep 2014 - $25.00
Great staff. Very friendly and willing to answer any question. Grass everywhere, so very pet friendly. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and walking distance to the water. Lots of wildlife moving through the campground in the early mornings. The general store has pretty much anything you would need but you are only 30 minutes from the town of Salmon. We loved it here and stayed an extra week. Would definitely stay here again. - EggerMar

Very nice park but very isolated. Staff super friendly. Nice quiet setting right along Salmon River. Lots of trees and mountain views. We stayed here for 3 months. Will return. We camped here in a motorhome. - Diplomat 07
Aug 2015 - $28.00
Spent 2 nights here in a back-in, electric-water site along the river; we asked for shade and got a site in a little grove of tall cottonwoods, so we had shade galore! Beautiful view from our site too, especially toward the back (river & mountains). Owner & campground workers very friendly and pleasant, and they encourage socializing! Our site was on grass and was very uneven, but we have leveling pads and managed just fine. Utilities at the front of the site if you're backing in, so extra hoses and extension cords may be necessary. Bathrooms are very clean and of an unusual design. Campground is quite a ways from shopping, which is 16 miles down the road in Salmon. Owner has lots of activities and points of interest in the area to recommend, if you're at a loss for what to do. - PokyRVer
Aug 2015 - $28.00
My findings of this campground seem to be different than other posters, to each their own I guess...We had high hope for this park after readying some of the reviews and seeing pictures on their website, well this is by far not the worst campground we've ever stayed in, it's sure not any place close to best or top 10. Let start with the good, nice check in staff, had lots of information about the area. Has a really nice gift store, something you don't find much anymore prices were fair, also sold beer and wine. Laundry room was clean but attached to office so only open when office is. There is a nice club house area with an amazing old fireplace. Bathroom and showers were very clean and large, but floor could make you dizzy (LOL). Easy on and off road.
Now the bad, sites are close and laid out oddly, the side we stayed on was little better for spacing but the side that seemed to have all the people and full hook-up were very close, reach out and touch close. Lots of grass but most of it dead, in the 24 hours we were there the hose/sprinkler ran in the same few spots for hours. Some sights have BBQ grills and fire rings, fire rings made of old washer drums hate that. (Site 34 no fire ring or BBQ) There is a nice dog walking area but to get to it you have to walk across a bridge that seems unsafe to walk on. Beware that there are 2 sites that are right next to the bridge and if you get put in those you're going to have people walking right next to your site the whole time. There is no ATT cell in this area, they do have WFI but it really just worked ok... (But you are out in the middle of nowhere) This could be an amazing campground but at this time it's just ok, no place I would call relaxing or place to stay longer than a day or two. - laears

Two cheers for immigration
"There are real problems about permitting unrestricted immigration into a welfare state," wrote Milton Friedman in the late 1970s. "It's one thing when people come for jobs and are on their own, which is the case through most of American history. It's another thing when a welfare system will support them come what may at the expense of other people."
America is a nation built by immigrants and it continues to prosper on the talents and toils of newcomers. Yet it is also a source of great tension in society and a perpetual controversy in politics.
There is an inscription on the most famous American symbol, the Statue of Liberty. Holding a torch at the mouth of New York Harbor, she invites the world: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore."
Five years ago the Cato Institute published a paper by Daniel Griswold, associate director of the institute's Center for Trade Policy Studies. It provided a thoughtful analysis of the fiscal impact of immigration, attempting to put a few myths to rest.
Myth One: Immigration leads to higher crime and incarceration rates.
The facts tell a different story. While the undocumented population was doubling around the turn of the century, violent crime rates dropped by a third and property crimes were down by more than a quarter. Immigrants are also less likely to break the law and end up in prison than American citizens with similar education and ethnic background.
Myth Two: Immigration is the cause of overcrowding at the public schools.
Wrong again. Enrollment in our public school system has decreased relative to the size of our population. Yes, there is overcrowding in certain school districts. But just as in the case of road congestion, the actual cause is internal migration to cities with more job opportunities rather than newly arrived immigrants.
Unfortunately, without publicizing all facts and having an honest discussion on all related issues, those myths will be impossible to kill. Before this year's presidential debates reach a peak, it is worth reexamining those and other findings exposing the validity of budget concerns at local and state levels as well as the huge benefits that native-born Americans reap from a large immigrant workforce.
Next week I will look at one more myth concerning healthcare costs.

It's the end of one of the most interesting draft days I've covered.
The Cardinals made it so when they selected LSU defensive back Tyrann Mathieu in the third round. Mathieu's troubles have been well chronicled. He was kicked off the team last year for several transgressions and has admitted a problem with marijuana.
He said he has changed his life in the last seven months or so, and cornerback Patrick Peterson and his family have helped. The two are close friends, and Peterson's father, Patrick, Sr., has helped train Mathieu.
If Peterson is not a Cardinal, the team doesn't take him. He has vouched for Mathieu, and their relationship gave the Cardinals increased opportunities to get to know Mathieu. Mathieu met with coach Bruce Arians and GM Steve Keim on a handful of occasions. Arians said Mathieu won him over with his passion for football. Arians said he believes in giving people more than one chance.
Other folks would say that Mathieu already has had a bunch of chances, and blown them. The Cardinals feel they can take the risk because they have Peterson, for one, and a locker room full of decent people, for two. They will try to surround Mathieu with positive models.
But the responsibility ultimately will be Mathieu's. Peterson won't always be around. Mathieu is in a grown man's league and no one is going to hold his hand every minute of the day.
He will begin his career at free safety and also as a returner. Arians said he is intrigued by the possibility of putting both Mathieu and Peterson back on punt returns.
– The Mathieu selection overshadowed linebacker Kevin Minter, who was taken a round ahead of him. Minter likely could play a larger role than Mathieu as a rookie. Daryl Washington is out for the first month, and Minter could figure into the rotation. Arians said Minter can play both inside linebacker spots. Jasper Brinkley and Reggie Walker also are in the mix.
"He is not the longest athlete," Keim said of the 6-foot Minter. "But he is a squatty, explosive player that, on impact has some natural explosiveness in his hips. He reminded me a little bit of Curtis Lofton when he came out of Oklahoma, not only from the size and movements standpoint. He's a talented guy."

Looking at rose catalogues—or better yet, walking through a rose fancier's garden—it's quickly apparent that white has many hues, from snowy blue-white (the colour of skim milk) to palest butter yellow or shell pink. From the variety of whites among modern rose cultivars, it's also clear long-ago antecedents continue to exert their influence. Certainly white roses were among the many wild species found in ancient Europe, the Levant and Asia. By medieval times, a few cultivated forms of white and near-white roses were gathered into the Rosa alba category of old shrub roses, characterized by their intense scent and strong disease resistance.
Although the progenitors of early roses are difficult to identify, these early white albas are possibly derived from R. canina, the dog rose, which has similar foliage, hips and stems. The flowers of R. alba can be described as shades of white, and many change colour as they mature. For instance, 'Great Maiden's Blush', also known as 'Incarnata' or 'Cuisse de Nymphe' (2 x 1.5 m, Zone 4) carries long-lasting blooms that open flesh pink and gradually turn creamy white.
Over time, white and near-white roses became so coveted that by 1840, there were more than 40 distinct alba cultivars. Today, white roses are represented in every antique and modern category, and many of them carry colour and scent genes from the old R. alba plants, with a similar propensity for ranging from pure white to ivory, cream, light butter yellow and palest pink. Take the charming rambler 'Albéric Barbier' (5 x 1.5 m, Zone 5), with its long-lasting, quartered, scented flowers that open pale butter yellow and quickly fade to gleaming ivory. Like all ramblers, it makes a scrambling mass of delicate twiggy canes and stems, blooming once in summer for six weeks and adorning a fence or arbour with its romantic form.
The R. pimpinellifolia 'Stanwell Perpetual' (1.5 x 1.5 m, Zone 4) is another quick-change artist, blooming palest blush pink but soon fading to creamy white. Its mound-shaped mass of fine twigs and fern-like foliage carries small, double, sweetly scented flowers for most of the growing season. This rose makes a good specimen at the bottom of a driveway, or can be grown as an effective boundary hedge.

I�m going to share something private, something I�ve not talked about a lot because I�m the kind of person who doesn�t talk about things like my health, except in the most abstract sense. It�s a story about listening and doing what you�re told, response time and, ultimately, making the right decisions. It�ll take me more than one column, but I hope you�ll stick it out. There are a couple of lessons in there that might help someone else make a good decision.
I started having some digestive issues and my doctor decided I should have a colonoscopy as well as an endoscopy. I put if off for a bit because, like most people, the idea of a colonoscopy isn�t pleasant. I have had one before and it was my least favorite way to spend a day ever, but I couldn�t deny that the result is worth the bother.
Dr. Timothy Patselas, who has removed my gall bladder and conducted both a previous colonoscopy and endoscopy, got the dubious honor once again and during the endoscopy he found a mass in my intestine, near my bile duct and duodenum. The biopsy came out negative, but it was a large polyp-looking thingie and he wanted it out for several reasons, not the least of which is that it could grow and obstruct my intestine. He sent me to a friend of his, the Chief of Surgical Oncology at East Carolina University, Dr. Emmanuel Zervos.
Dr. Zervos, probably by virtue of what he does, is not a man who wastes time. He wants everything done yesterday and he�s not kidding. So he sent me to Duke to have an endoscopic ultrasound of that growth and another biopsy. He didn�t want to go in and take it out without first knowing its extent. I went to Duke (they couldn�t do it at ECU because they were between specialists at the time) and had an amazingly smooth procedure. Again, it biopsied benign � good news, for sure.
The next step: Surgery and the lessons I learned from this experience. That�s where I will pick up the story again next week. (But in the meantime, there is a hungry, homeless black lab that was apparently dumped on Sandridge Road in Hubert. Several individuals have been leaving food for her and trying to catch her before she ends up getting hit by a car. Anyone interested in helping trap this dog before tragedy strikes, please check out the thread on Facebook under the Onslow County Partnership for Paws. If you�re not on Facebook or can�t access the information and want to help, please contact me and I will give you the contact information I saw posted. I�d hate to see her dead or in the pound, facing certain death.)

I want to try a new protein powder called Whey Fraction.
Basically I got a late start on the season. I am going to kick the training into high gear soon, and I am looking to maximise the effect. This new whey stuff looks like it will help with the healing.
I am looking to make something I can take before I go to the gym, and after I ride.
I'll just use less after the ride.
I was thinking
50% Whey Fraction
10% PeptaPro (predigested protein)
20% Casein
20% Oat Muscle (low glycemic carbs)
Looking for suggestions, I could add a banana for carbs, and throw in more casein to replace the Oat Muscle. I could also add 5% glutamine peptides. Any bodybuilder/riders out there with
a thought on the subject?

'Three strikes' file sharing law coming sooner than you think
InternetNZ has published a discussion paper that looks at New Zealand's low data caps. Most countries have no limit on data that can be downloaded each months. In those that do, 1 terabyte (1TB or 1000GB) is the new mark for power users.
The discussion paper is called Barriers to Unmetered Domestic Internet Traffic and contains the views of 28 Internet industry players, including small and medium ISPS, telcos and content providers, about why New Zealand traffic is metered even when it is domestic, and how the advent of Ultra Fast Broadband (UFB) would change this.
InternetNZ commissioned independent consultant Colin Jackson to conduct these interviews in May and June, and the scope was aimed at consumer landline Internet. (The paper is available online here.)
Data caps stingiest in world
Background comments from respondents found that New Zealand caps were among the lowest in the world, Mr Jackson said.
He said caps in Australia had recently expanded significantly due to competition between ISPs, with terabyte caps now common, Mr Jackson said.
Possible reasons for New Zealand's low caps were the reliance upon a single submarine cable for almost all international traffic and the position of Telecom as the owner of much of the access network used by most ISPs, said Mr Jackson.
"The price paid by ISPs for international transit has been dropping significantly; therefore if data caps do not greatly increase as they have in Australia recently it is likely to be incumbency around the copper loop which is keeping them low."
While international access was becoming more affordable, Mr Jackson said access to parts of the local loop had become more constrained. He said Telecom had recently taken action that enforced a constraint of 45kbps per user for some access products, with other speeds available at additional cost.
"Until recently, some ISPs at least had been able to evade this restriction. The result is increased contention and reduced speeds for the customers of some ISPs."
ISPs gave two specific reasons as to why low data caps persist, the report said. This was to prevent a "tragedy of the commons", or a few heavy users dominating the use of fixed, low, level of bandwidth resources, to the detriment of others, and to segment the market, "by offering a better product to consumers who are willing to pay more, which maximises ISP income while providing for entry-level plans that are attractive to consumers who might otherwise not have broadband."
Mr Jackson said that these reasons existed in other markets but until now competitive pressure in NZ had been unable to significantly decrease, or get rid of, data caps, and this was probably due to the lack of international cable options, and Telecom's ownership of much of the access network.
The largest single factor against unmetering domestic traffic was that consumers would find it hard to predict which sites would result in international traffic and would "likely be frustrated and angry with their provider if traffic were metered differentially by its location," Mr Jackson said in the paper.
Other reasons included the cost of providing a domestic network, the technical difficult for ISPs of determining whether traffic was domestic or not, and the lack of customer demand, he said.
"While customers undoubtedly want more for less, few people believe that customers specifically want free New Zealand content rather than a general increase in what they can get for their money."
Zero-rating domestic traffic (ie not counting data from certain sites towards a cap) was practiced by some ISPs, notably Orcon's O Zone, was an option for unmetered traffic and worked for consumers but not for content providers, who had to negotiate with many ISPs, Mr Jackson found.
"In conclusion respondents do not believe that differential charging for traffic whether it is on- or offshore is workable or desirable."
Mr Jackson said the striking feature about the comments regarding changes under UFB was that ISPs did not appear to have thought about its impact and had not considred that data caps may be forced to rise.
"This is not universal, but it may lead to a shake-out in the ISP industry where those who have strategies to deal with UFB, and the investment capital to implement them, have an advantage over those who do not."
Many respondents listed access to NZ content as a driver for the success of UFB, Mr Jackson said.
"No-one said that the advent UFB would make zero-rated domestic traffic any more likely. However, if the reason for our low data caps is due to Telecom incumbency in the copper loop, which is one possible explanation for them in the current environment, we might expect a substantial increase or complete removal of the caps as UFB uptake spreads."
InternetNZ seeks comments
InternetNZ chief executive Vikram Kumar said in a release that there had been a lot of discussion about the low levels of data caps in New Zealand and the future shift to UFB.
"On the other hand, many ISPs continue to support data caps as effective tools to manage customer demand, keep retail prices low, and contain their investments."
He said InternetNZ had commissioned the report as a first step towards considering what goals and initiatives should be in this area.
Mr Kumar said the recent increase in broadband data caps by Telecom and Vodafone underlined how much room there was for major ISPs to move on the issue of low data caps.
"At the end of the day, we hope that this discussion will lead to action. Otherwise the true potential of the Internet for Kiwis will remain a mirage as we fall behind other countries."
InternetNZ is seeking comments by August 26 on the paper as well as views on what goals can be set in the area of data caps.

Could this mysterious glowing orb have something to do with climate change? Surely not!
Breaking news from the US – h/t Watts Up With That? – where a leaked draft of the IPCC's latest report AR5 admits what some of us have suspected for a very long time: that the case for man-made global warming is looking weaker by the day and that the sun plays a much more significant role in "climate change" than the scientific "consensus" has previously been prepared to concede.
Here's the killer admission:
Many empirical relationships have been reported between GCR or cosmogenic isotope archives and some aspects of the climate system (e.g., Bond et al., 2001; Dengel et al., 2009; Ram and Stolz, 1999). The forcing from changes in total solar irradiance alone does not seem to account for these observations, implying the existence of an amplifying mechanism such as the hypothesized GCR-cloud link. We focus here on observed relationships between GCR and aerosol and cloud properties.
As the leaker explains, this is a game-changer:

Christmas by Candlelight Tour Dec. 6 - posted November 22, 2013
Traditional holiday decorations will be on display at the Mississippi Governor's Mansion, Old Capitol Museum, Mississippi State Capitol, Eudora Welty House and Garden, and William F. Winter Archives and History Building on Friday, December 6 for the eighteenth annual Old Jackson Christmas by Candlelight Tour. Free transportation will take visitors from site to site, with parking available at the Old Capitol, state capitol, and Winter Building. The tour begins at 4:30 and runs until 8:30.
This year a Christmas tree returns to the Old Capitol, Jackson's oldest building, along with many of the ornaments visitors may remember from years past. Garlands will hang around the rotunda railing on the second floor and the stairwells, and wreaths will decorate the exterior of the building. Enjoy cookies and punch while listening to musical groups from across the city. Old Capitol holiday ornaments and gift bags will be for sale at the new Candlelight Marketplace.
Musical entertainment at the Old Capitol:
4:40—East Rankin Choir
5:30—Mississippi Boychoir
6:20—Mississippi Girlchoir
7:10—Madison-Ridgeland Young Singers
The Hinds Community College Brass Ensemble will perform at 8 p.m. and between choir sets.
At the Winter Building, the 1950s and 60s aluminum Christmas tree will be on display along with Antebellum, Victorian, and Depression-era trees. The ever-popular model town of Possum Ridge and its trains will be on display on the first floor of the Winter Building. Characters from A Special Visitor Comes to Possum Ridge will read from the children's book inspired by the train exhibit.
Musical entertainment at the Winter Building:
4:45—First Presbyterian Day School Fifth-Grade Choir
5:30—Baker Elementary School Fourth and Fifth Grade Choir
6:15—Tim Avalon and Friends
The grand Mississippi State Capitol will be decorated with Mississippi-grown Leyland Cypress Christmas trees, garlands, and poinsettias, and the offices of the governor, lieutenant governor, and Speaker of the House will be open to visitors. Musical entertainment will be the Christmas Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Bob Davidson, director of Senate Legislative Services, and refreshments will be served.
The circa-1841 Mississippi Governor's Mansion will be decorated with seasonal greenery. The East Garden will be open, and a very special guest from the North Pole will greet visitors in the garden's gazebo. Light refreshments will be served.
The Eudora Welty House and Garden will feature original holiday greeting cards and decorations, as well as enlarged photos of the Welty family during the holiday season. This year's collection of holiday cards includes a unique long, hand painted greeting by artist Agnes Simms, whose modernist painting Rome hangs above the living room mantel. Cards from President and Mrs. Clinton, author Kathryn Anne Porter, poet laureate William Jay Smith, and others will be on display.
Visitors may tour the first floor of the House and stop by the Visitor Center for hot cider and homemade white fruitcake baked by volunteers using Miss Welty's recipe, while listening to classical, jazz, and Brazilian music performed by guitarist Leonnardo Moreira and cellist Marcelo Vieira.

What are you doing New Year's Eve?
If you're not watching basketball, you're doing it wrong.
Fox Sports 1 will kick off its coverage of the new Big East Conference's actual conference play with a five-game, all-day marathon that begins at noon with St. John's at Xavier and ends with a 10 p.m. ET start featuring Creighton at Marquette. The featured game at 7:30 is surprising No. 11 Villanova at feisty Butler. What's not to love?
The Big Ten begins its league schedule with No. 3 Ohio State at Purdue on ESPN2 (1 p.m.) and a BTN doubleheader featuring No. 5 Michigan State at Penn State (5) and Nebraska at Iowa on BTN (7).
The new American Athletic Conference has a trio of games on ESPN2, beginning at 5: No. 14 Louisville at UCF, No. 18 Memphis at South Florida, No. 17 UConn at Houston.
Sensing a theme here? Goodness, we hope so. League play is busting out all over this week, and so now seems like an excellent time to take a look at how the conference races should play out.
In alphabetical order:
Handicapping college basketball's conference racesncaab January 4, 2014 10:15pm EST December 30, 2013 3:16pm EST With January upon us, it's time for college basketball's conference races to heat up. Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy handicaps the races in 11 leagues. Where does your team stand?
What are you doing New Year's Eve?
2 American
Contender: Cincinnati NCAA shot: SMU
Spoilers: UCF, USF, Houston
"Rebuilding": Temple, Rutgers
Overview: Louisville entered the season as a heavy favorite to win this league, but the absence of quality victories in nonconference play—and now, the absence of Final Four hero Chane Behanan—suggests the Huskies and Tigers have a legitimate shot to steal the league title. The Cards simply didn't play enough serious opponents to give us a gauge of whether they're properly built to win the league. The inside game is still a question, although it's not certain what the proper question is. It could be: Do they have one? Or, perhaps, do the guards know where to find it? Louisville has a dynamic two-guard attack with Chris Jones and Russ Smith, but it needs more from the small forward spot as well as the interior guys. The beauty of this league is that the schedule is a double round-robin, so it'll be settled fair-and-square.
Contender: North Carolina
NCAA shots: Pitt, N.C. State, Virginia, Florida State, Notre Dame
Spoilers: Maryland, Georgia Tech
"Rebuilding": Virginia Tech, Boston College, Miami, Wake Forest, Clemson
Overview: The real intrigue in this league will be the battle for the title, whether it's a three-way deal that also involves the Tar Heels or it's strictly Devils-Orange. Carolina folks would argue their three elite victories indicate they've got championship stuff, and there's a point there; but they've been beatable enough by others to suggest they'll remain just off the pace. Although eight teams are positioned as owning chances for NCAA Tournament bids, N.C. State is a longshot and Notre Dame is included just because of track record. The Irish don't have a tourney-quality resume now, and the absence of Jerian Grant makes it tougher to foresee them building one.
4 Atlantic 10
Contenders: VCU, George Washington, Saint Louis
NCAA shots: Dayton
Spoilers: Richmond, Saint Joseph's, St. Bonaventure
"Rebuilding": Duquesne, Fordham, La Salle, George Mason, Rhode Island
Overview: The Minutemen have been the surprise of the league and could position themselves for a top-four NCAA Tournament seed by posting a league record with 13 or so victories. But the three contenders listed all have demonstrated they are championship-caliber teams. Perhaps the biggest key for the A-10 generally will be avoiding the kinds of "bad" losses that often have plagued the league's most prominent teams. Dayton already picked up one of those in non-league play, falling at home to a Southern California squad that will struggle to approach the upper half of the Pac-12.
5 Big East
Contenders: Creighton
NCAA shots: Butler, Xavier, St. John's, Georgetown, Providence
Spoilers: Marquette
"Rebuilding": Seton Hall, DePaul
Overview: Who would have thought Jan. 20 and Feb. 16 would loom as the most important dates on the Big East calendar? Those are the two evenings when Creighton and Villanova will meet. Certainly it is possible those two games won't decide the first championship in the "new" Big East, but no other team has played at a championship level. Butler has avoided disappointing losses and was mightily competitive in those tough games, but the teams it has beaten would line the bottom of this new league. St. John's still has the most talent in the league and on occasion has shown what that talent is capable of achieving. So is this more than a two-team race? The first look at the new league could be a blast.
6 Big Ten
Contenders: Ohio State, Michigan State
NCAA shots: Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Purdue
Spoilers: Penn State, Nebraska
"Rebuilding": Northwestern
Overview: If you ranked the top three teams in the league according to their shots at winning the NCAA title, the Badgers logically would be your third choice. But schedule is a factor in leagues where teams don't play a complete home-and-home schedule—and what a delight UW's schedule is. OSU at home Feb. 1; MSU at home Feb. 9; no return visit to either. Sparty and the Bucks have to play each other twice, of course. It's not just that Bo Ryan gets to play an easy course, though. This is a dynamic and versatile Wisconsin team; not as individually talented as the other two, but that's for the NCAA Tournament to sort out.
7 Big 12
Contenders: Baylor, Iowa State
NCAA shot: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas State
Spoilers: TCU, West Virginia
"Rebuilding": Texas Tech
Overview: It could easily be argued that Baylor and Iowa State were even stronger than the favorites in non-league play, but the KU track record and the Jayhawks' enormous talent stipulate the title race runs through Lawrence until further notice. And OK State's success at Allen Fieldhouse last year and the continuing presence of Marcus Smart stipulate that it's ridiculous not to believe the Cowboys at least have a shot at being one of those teams that shares the Big 12 crown with KU. This has been the nation's best college basketball conference this season, and it should be a fun race because everybody will play everybody else twice.
8 Mountain West
Contenders: New Mexico, Utah State, Boise State
Spoilers: UNLV, Colorado State, Wyoming
"Rebuilding": Nevada, Air Force, San Jose State, Fresno State
Overview: The new alignment of the MWC has plenty of intrigue, starting with how Utah State's fine program will adapt to competing against a steadier diet of high-level competition and including whether UNLV can recover from its unsteady non-league performance. But perhaps most compelling of all is how important it will be to several capable teams to finish at or near the top of this league. Because there isn't the sort of heavyweight achievement among the top teams that MWC teams carried into the 2012-13 league schedule. You win this league, you're a tournament team; there seems little doubt of that. You finish fourth, you're holding your breath until Selection Sunday unless you claim the automatic bid.
9 Pac-12
Contenders: UCLA, Oregon, Colorado
NCAA shot: Utah, Stanford, Arizona State
Spoilers: California, Southern California, Washington
"Rebuilding": Oregon State, Washington State
Overview: Arizona has been the nation's best team, but the Wildcats aren't built to overwhelm. They don't have the sort of offense that blows away middling teams. They have the sort of defense, though, that strangles even the best. That is why they'll enter as favorites, but it won't be easy to win on the road at UCLA, Oregon and Colorado, and they must visit all three. That could be the greatest impediment to Arizona earning the league title and a No. 1 seed; or it could provide a quality win or two that cements those positions.
Contenders: Kentucky, Missouri
NCAA shot: LSU, Arkansas
Spoilers: Ole Miss, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Tennessee
"Rebuilding": Georgia, South Carolina, Auburn, Texas A&M, Mississippi State
Overview: It is strange to see Kentucky already consigned to merely "contending" for the SEC title after the Wildcats entered the year as the nation's No. 1, but they came by this position honestly. The talent still is there, and the time is there, but they'll have to prove they can perform as consistently as Florida's Gators. Those teams will get two shots at each other, whereas Mizzou only has to deal with one game against each. Given the dearth of quality in the conference, that might allow the Tigers to steal the title the way Louisville snatched the 2009 Big East from fellow No. 1 seeds UConn and Pitt.
11 West Coast
Contenders: Saint Mary's, Pacific
Spoilers: BYU, Loyola Marymount, San Diego, Portland, San Francisco, Pepperdine, Portland.
"Rebuilding": Santa Clara.
Overview: It hasn't been uncommon to see dire warnings posted regarding Gonzaga's pursuit of still another NCAA Tournament berth. It all seems a bit premature for a team that's 11-2 with Kevin Pangos leading the charge. BYU's persistent struggles and the collapse of Saint Mary's at the Diamond Head Classic have all but removed the quality wins from the Zags' schedule, so what they'll need to do is dominate. Which they've done before. But their absurd WCC schedule closes with four consecutive road games, with trips to both BYU and Saint Mary's included. If they get through that stretch with minimal damage, they'll have earned another bid.

If he wanted to leave, he could've. I don't believe people can change until I see it. Nothing you can do. Can't force a guy to grow a pair. He's a grown man. His life is his fault, not his mother's.
I don't even feel sorry for the wife. She knew what she was getting into. Not sure why anybody would marry a guy who doesn't have the stones to leave his mom's basement. Good grief.
Where does the 'wife' stay? With him at his mom's? At her own place?
Tell your 'friend' to grow up, then cut him loose. He's more likely to drag you down than you are to rescue him. That goes double if you're actually the 'wife', rather than just a 'friend'.
I have to agree with Jack on this. You can't drag someone out of a situation they don't want to be in or can't see the exit for. I had a friend who refused to get over being shy to find a job. He got done with college, coasted for 2 years before his college fund ran out and went home to mom. We tried and tried to get him a job. Even when a mutual friend would have been the manager he refused to put in an application.
The best way I know to cut the strings is to move at least 6 hours away but even then not all strings will be cut. Regardless this is an action that the couple will have do decide to do.
What is your relationship to him?
How do you know this? Did he tell you? If so, then he already knows. Might trying active listening: drawing him out to talk more.
I don't think you should give up on him. Nobody is irredeemable. However, "helping someone realize" something is pretty invasive, and people tend to resist.
He may want to become a man. What old boy wouldn't? A community of men might help him do that, by example and by (his) desire.
You are asking an impossible question. How do you help a guy to do something that he has to do by himself without help.
If you are his friend, I'd follow Jack's advice. Tell him to grow up and find better friends.
If you are his wife, I have no idea what to tell you. You chose to marry a guy who won't even admit he married you to his mother and is too much of a loser to be a man. I think you should forget about his issues for a bit and worry about your own.
Ergo, my suggestions are:
* Listen to him
* Invite him to things w/ company of men. My two big venues are ManKind Project (which is all about men becoming stronger), and a fraternal order, where they're pretty un-self-consciously what they are. When you're among those who aren't too screwed up and they expect you to be the same, it can help a lot
* Tell him, w/o harsh judgment or pressure, that you know he's unhappy, and there is a more excellent way, and it's well established: men move out. If he's at all sympathetic to Christian or Jewish perspective, there's that thing about leaving the parents and joining the wife. Of course, he's pretty locked into the mother or he'd have never gotten in this situation. But knowing there's another option... he's human. Part of him must want to be free.
Be careful. You, despite your good intentions, might be viewed by either this man or his wife as meddling. And they would be right to think this since you are.
The two of them have some serious issues. Him with his inability to grow up and take his role as a man, and her with agreeing to marry him before he made such a change. This might not end well. And if that happens (or even if it continues in the unhealthy situation its in now) you might find one of them shifting the blame onto you, the meddler.
I know my opinion sounds harsh or selfish. But that's because it is. This is an issue between a married couple. It is one thing to wish them well and be supportive when help is sought but it is another to try to help when not asked. You would be better off distancing yourself from this issue. The fact you are here seeking help in solving it tells me you are already too close (which is why I assumed you were the wife in question). You are meddling in someone else's marriage and that sort of thing never ends well. You are not the one still afraid to grow up nor are you the one who married a childman, surely there are things in your own life that you would be better off devoting your time to?
Tomboy, eh?
The only one with testicles who could help this guy, other than himself, would be his father. And his help would come in the form of a swift kick in the ass out the door.
But the fact he knows his son is married but has not told his own wife (the mother) tells me he's either not living with the mother (and the son) or if he is then the fact he hid it from his own wife tells me he's a much of a child as his son is.
It does not take testicles, if he want to be free he needs to find a job away from his current location and move. Or simply tell his father to write and move out and not give his mom the phone number.
"And what can anyone do to help him realize his relationship with his controlling....."
I am assuming you've told him to 'man-up' and move out of his mother's house. Between he and his wife they should have enough $ to get a small apartment somewhere, anywhere so that's no excuse. It sounds almost as though there is a bilateral Edipal complex going on between him and his mother; especially if he is the one buying whatever she wants instead of his father doing it.
So what, other than telling him that he's being his mother's 'boyfriend' there's NOTHING you can do to get him out of the house. It's his life and if he insists on living it a certain way that you don't agree with then too bad; if you don't like it don't hang out with him.
If his wife was any type of wife then she'd be the one bitching at him constantly to move out and move in with her. I, personally, don't know of any woman who would put up with such behavior in their husband and most would tell the mother off in a heart beat.

Top 11 Priorities in 2011 for Pharmaceutical: It Can Get ComplicatedFebruary 2, 2011
Correction: Thanks to readers for noticing the typo in the original post: Sanofi Aventis is negotiating to possibly buy Genzyme, not the other way around; and thanks for the insight into the deal that you left in the comments below. Corrections to the typo have been added below – as the post title says, it can be complicated!
One would be hard pressed to find an industry that is simultaneously as successful, complex, delicate and change-prone as pharmaceutical, biotech and medical products is today.
I am constantly reading reports in this sector about new drug launches, regulations, recalls, expiring patents, counterfeiting and tampering, and acquisition deals. Federal Health Care Reform is law, but certain parts of it are still being worked out in the courts and in Washington, DC. See, complicated, right? But also growing and changing.
In fact, as I write this, one of the world's largest biotechnology companies, (Genzyme) Sanofi, [NOTE: Corrected 2/4/2011 – Sanofi is the company in discussions to acquire Genzyme, not the other way around as was mistakenly typoed in the original blog post] is set to begin due diligence that may lead to it acquiring Sanofi Genzyme – a multinational pharmaceutical company. If the deal is reached, it will close a long and intense period of negotiations over one of the largest mergers in the past year. To achieve profitable growth, companies such as Genzyme Sanofi are being forced to boost their drug pipelines and find new avenues to increase sales, operational efficiency and shareholder value.
What pharmaceutical and related companies all have in common is the need for a strong yet agile supply chain. You name a hot issue in the pharmaceutical industry – and you can bet it is impacted by the supply chain. This is one of the reasons that our experts recently developed the Top 11 Priorities in 2011 for Pharmaceuticals, Biotech and Medical Products.
Do you see one of your company's priorities on this Top 11 list? Are there others that should be added? It will be interesting to see where this industry heads next.

Will November be a Democratic 'bloodbath'?
Jon Chait looks at a new NPR poll focused on battleground states and districts, and concludes that November will be a "bloodbath" for Democrats. Here's what the poll has to say about the upcoming election:
The results are a wake-up call for Democrats whose loses in the House could well exceed 30 seats. In the named-congressional ballot in the 60 Democratic districts, Democrats trail their Republican opponent, 42 to 47 percent, with only a third saying they want to vote to reelect their member. In the top tier of 30 most competitive seats, the Democratic candidate trails by 9 points (39 to 48 percent) and by 2 points in the next tier of 30 seats (45 to 47 percent). On the other hand, the Republican candidates are running well ahead in their most competitive seats ( 53 to 37 percent). As we saw in the special election in PA-12, Democrats will have to battle on a seat-by-seat basis — that has shifted these kinds of numbers this year.
The effort by individual campaigns will have to push against walls that seem very hard to move at this point. We tested Democratic and Republican arguments on the economy, health care, financial reform and the big picture for the 2010 election. The results consistently favored the Republicans and closely resembled the vote breakdown. Democrats are hurt by a combined lack of enthusiasm and an anti-incumbent tone.
If true, this would signal a complete bloodbath for Democrats across the country. But my hunch is that we should take this poll with a grain of salt. For starters, this poll is a single slice in time, there are no trend lines and we have no idea what these districts looked like at any time during the last six months. It's entirely possible that these results have been constant and Republicans have always been more enthused than Democrats (which generally, is true). In which case, the picture isn't nearly as terrible as Chait thinks, since as recently as last month, Democrats were projected to survive midterms with their majority intact.
Moreover, and as the Center for Politics' Isaac Woods pointed out on Twitter, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research (the polling firm) is relying on an odd methodology, choosing supposedly "battleground" districts as opposed to taking a national poll or polling a single district. It's silly to pull together random districts — each of which may be "in play" for vastly different reasons — and generalize from there a broad conclusion about the electoral landscape.
Granted, I don't think Democrats should sit on their laurels; things aren't catastrophic, but they aren't in good shape either. But they should also try to avoid overreaction. The siren call of Beltway approval has pulled many Democrats into opposing further stimulus and supporting measures for fiscal austerity, which is boneheaded. Right now, their survival depends most on employment numbers; the smart thing to do — politically and economically — is to pump more stimulus into the economy. More jobs means less discontent, and less discontent benefits President Obama and vulnerable congressional Democrats.

Trees draw in water, nutrients, and oxygen from thousands of tiny roots in the soil. Damage to even the smallest of these structures can affect the health of the tree itself. A river system works in much the same way. Rivers don't start in just one place, but rather arise from a network of small streams and wetlands that gradually join together as they flow downstream.
Small headwater streams and wetlands [PDF] provide the greatest connections between land and water, trapping and storing nutrients, providing critical habitat, storing floodwaters, and filtering out pollutants. Scientific studies repeatedly demonstrate that the health of downstream lakes, rivers, and estuaries are tied to the health of small streams and wetlands upstream.
Aren't small streams and wetlands already protected under the Clean Water Act?
The science is clear that what's upstream affects downstream waters. Unfortunately, the current state of the policy is less so. Despite nearly thirty years of comprehensive protection under the Clean Water Act, two Supreme Court decisions in 2001 and 2006 put protections for small streams and wetlands into question.
In Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) v. Army Corps of Engineers, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 opinion ruled that the use of seasonal interstate ponds, or so-called "isolated" ponds, by migratory birds was not enough to protect those waters under the Clean Water Act. Five years later, the Supreme Court in Rapanos v. United States was unable to reach a majority opinion on the question of whether wetlands that were near to tributaries of traditionally navigable waters were protected under the Clean Water Act. Four justices in the plurality opinion would protect only "relatively permanent waters," excluding waters that flow seasonally or after rainfall, that are connected to traditionally navigable waters and only protect wetlands with a "continuous surface connection" to other protected waters. Justice Kennedy's concurring opinion held that some wetlands would require demonstration of a "significant nexus" to traditionally navigable waters through a case-by case basis to be protected under the Clean Water Act.
In effect, these two cases created significant uncertainty about what types of waters were actually protected under the law. Agency guidance documents designed to help field staff apply these rulings made it substantially more difficult to include certain types of waters under the Clean Water Act. Guidance released in 2003 following the SWANCC decision effectively removed protections for non-navigable, intrastate, and so-called "isolated" waters such as vernal pools and playa lakes. Guidance [PDF] following the Rapanos decision added to this uncertainty which effectively removed protections for streams that flow seasonally or after rain, requires resource-intensive case-by-case analyses, and essentially stripped tributaries of categorical protection.
The end result? Significant confusion, delayed implementation, and declining enforcement [PDF] of the Clean Water Act. In other words, the uncertainty surrounding the scope of the Act leaves small streams and wetlands vulnerable to pollution. For example, when crude oil was discharged into the seasonally flowing Edwards Creek near Talco, TX, the EPA did not pursue enforcement of this spill because it was too complicated to prove that the creek was covered under the Clean Water Act. More than half of the County's residents get their drinking water supplies from these types of seasonally flowing creeks.
What is the proposed "waters of the United States" rule?
The recently proposed "waters of the United States" rule is an effort to clarify the uncertainty surrounding the types of waters that are protected under the Clean Water Act following these decisions and the resulting guidance from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers. Requests to the EPA for a rulemaking process on this issue came from a wide variety of stakeholders [PDF], ranging from local watershed organizations to agriculture and industry groups.
The proposed rule is based on sound science, drawing from the Scientific Advisory Board's Connectivity Study [PDF] which compiles more than 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific publications. The proposed rule will be available for public comment and review.
What will it do?
Attempts to clarify the existing definitions of "waters of the United States" – The proposed rule is an effort to more clearly define what types of waters are covered under the Clean Water Act.
- Traditionally navigable waters, interstate waters, the territorial seas, and impoundments of "waters of the United States" remain protected – The proposed rule makes no substantive changes to the existing provisions for traditional navigable waters (TNWs), interstate waters, the territorial seas, or impoundments of "waters of the United States." These remain categorically protected under the law.
- Tributaries to these covered waters as well as waters that are along the banks of, or in the floodplain of, covered waters (including tributaries) are categorically protected. Essentially, the agencies concluded that the scientific evidence supports the inclusion of tributaries within a stream network that drain to other protected waters based on their impact to the biological, physical, and chemical integrity of downstream waters. The scientific evidence also supports categorical protections for "adjacent" waters that lie near or in the floodplain of other protected waters. Categorical protections for tributaries and adjacent waters would eliminate the need for a case-by-case analysis and effectively restores protections for tributaries, including those that may flow seasonally or only after rain.
- Waters that lie outside of the floodplain, also known as "other waters," require a case-by-case analysis. The proposed rule does not fully protect "other waters," such as prairie potholes, playa lakes, and vernal pools. These waters may be protected under the Clean Water Act if it can be demonstrated that they collectively have a more than speculative effect on the biological, physical, and chemical integrity of downstream waters. In other words, the agencies need to determine that there is a significant connection between those "other waters" and downstream protected waters.
Re-affirms and Codifies Existing Exemptions
Additionally, the proposed rule makes clear that previous exemptions in the regulations for waste treatment systems, including treatment ponds and lagoons, as well as prior converted cropland remain. It also codifies exemptions that were already practiced in policy but not specifically formalized in regulations for certain types of ditches and features such as artificial ponds and swimming pools. Exemptions for mining, forestry, ranching, and other specific activities remain. The agencies also clarify permitting exemptions for specific agricultural conservation practices.
What Can You Do?
Whether or not a river, stream, or wetland is a "water of the United States" determines if Clean Water Act protections apply to that water body. It determines whether or not a polluter must get a permit that puts limits on how much pollution can be dumped into that water. For instance, a developer that wants to fill in a wetland to build new properties would need to get a permit if the wetland was a "water of the United States" and therefore protected under the Clean Water Act.
Right now, you can make your voice heard and tell EPA to finalize a strong rule that protects clean water for the health of our rivers and the communities that depend upon them.

ChronoZoom takes you on a visual historical journeyChronoZoom is a unique online tool that takes viewers on a visual historical journey that is comprised of documents, images, data, and videos—all displayed in chronological order on a vast, zoomable timeline. ChronoZoom offers unprecedented depth; it enables viewers to explore the past, starting with the Big Bang billions of years ago and up to the present day: a zoom factor of nearly 5 trillion.
Finding a Modern Solution to an Age-Old Issue
Roland Saekow, community project leader, University of California, BerkeleyIn 2009, Roland Saekow, an undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), had the idea for ChronoZoom while enrolled in a Big History course taught by Walter Alvarez, professor of Geology. Big History is a field of historical study that attempts to understand, through an interdisciplinary approach, the history of the cosmos, Earth, life, and humanity. One of the greatest challenges in teaching a Big History course is conveying and exploring the vast time scales of the past.
Alvarez had developed a series of timeline handouts, but did not have a single, comprehensive method for presenting the time scales of Big History. After class one day, Saekow approached Alvarez and suggested the use of computer zoom technology to convey vast time scales.
"There was always a really big problem: how do you convey those scales of time from human history all the way back to cosmic history?"
- Walter Alvarez, professor of Geology, University of California, Berkeley
Alvarez and Saekow discussed ideas for creating a zoomable, visual, interactive timeline. Saekow proposed that it might possible to use Seadragon, a Microsoft zoom technology, to visualize time. The professor and student team produced a seven-minute video that explained both the Big History time-scale problem as well as an initial prototype—and ChronoZoom was conceived.
Bringing History to Visual Life
Soon, Alvarez and Saekow's UC Berkeley team joined forces with Microsoft Live Labs, the team that was developing the Seadragon zoom technology. The first version of ChronoZoom was a built as a giant rasterized image that zoomed smoothly and could be explored by using deep zoom technology.
Walter Alvarez, professor of History, University of California, Berkeley
It made its debut to a standing-room only event during the 2010 UC Berkeley 97th Annual Faculty Research Lecture delivered by Alvarez.
The UC Berkeley team refined their focus to the development of an easy-to-use, database driven version that could easily incorporate new timelines and data. The new tool would be able to use a variety of content types, including video, charts, graphs, images, and text. The team also expanded its target audience to include members of the humanities and science communities, who were interested in using ChronoZoom for research and teaching.
"ChronoZoom is...built on Windows Azure, a cloud computing platform. So they don't need to worry about being able to maintain it."
— Rane Johnson, principal research director, Microsoft Research Connections
Global Collaboration
As the project goals and strategy unfolded, the team needed a new perspective to help advance the project. They were fortunate to have the opportunity to start working with some highly skilled student developers from Lomonosov Moscow State University. Led by Sergey Berezin, an associate professor at Moscow State University, the developers joined the ChronoZoom project in the latter half of 2011.
Undergraduates and graduates from Moscow State University employed the latest web standards along with JQuery to produce a dynamic rich HTML5 experience that could function on a wide variety of browsers and devices.
ChronoZoom was built as a collaboration between UC Berkeley, Moscow State University, and Microsoft Research.Working together, the UC Berkeley and Moscow State teams produced the ChronoZoom 2.0 beta. This version harnesses the power of Windows Azure for flexibility and scalability to support a complex, zoomable canvas.
Because maintaining content in the cloud removes the limitations that organizations face with hardware storage and maintenance, "Students and the computer science departments who work on ChronoZoom can focus on making an amazing tool while we take care of everything on the backend," explains Rane Johnson, principal research director, Microsoft Research Connections.
A Brief History of Time
ChronoZoom user interfaceThe ChronoZoom 2.0 beta is now available for feedback from teachers, students, and researchers. Visitors can browse through history on ChronoZoom to find information in the form of articles, images, video, sound, and other media in a rich, visual experience.
By drawing upon the latest discoveries from many different disciplines, visitors can visualize the temporal relationships between events, trends, and themes. Some of the disciplines that contribute content to ChronoZoom include biology, astronomy, geology, climatology, prehistory, archeology, anthropology, economics, natural history, and population and environmental studies.
The Future Awaits
"The first thing people usually comment with ChronoZoom is experiencing that 'wow' factor of zooming from humanity all the way to the 13.7 billion years of cosmos."
— Chris Engberg, undergraduate in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department, UC Berkeley
With the framework of ChronoZoom established, the ChronoZoom team looks forward to opening the project up to more partners so that ChronoZoom can become a valuable teaching, learning, and research tool. The team encourages computer science researchers and students to help build the features and capabilities required for ChronoZoom to function optimally. We encourage professors, researchers, and students in the humanities and sciences to contribute content that chronicles the history of the humanities and the sciences—and that demonstrates how these fields have influenced one another.
Try it Out
Explore ChronoZoom and experience how this master timeline of the cosmos, Earth, life, and human experience unifies a wide variety of data and historical perspectives to help you discover unexpected relationships and historical convergences and better understand Big History.

Tree, vine rootstock business growing fast
As more San Joaquin Valley growers transition from row crops such as cotton and tomatoes to permanent tree and vine crops, commercial nurseries feel the impact.
An informal survey of major California nurseries reveals that for trees including almonds, walnuts and cherries, the availability of new purchase for plantings this winter is non-existent and orders are filling fast for plantings the following year.
John Duarte, president of Duarte Nursery in Hughson, said sales are going to be up 40 percent to 50 percent from the previous year, and that sales next year are being projected to increase another 40 percent to 50 percent.
Other commercial nursery owners report similar gains.
"Sales have been remarkable—it is another stellar year. We are currently sold out of most varieties, especially almonds, walnuts and cherry trees," said Katie Amaral, marketing manager for Dave Wilson Nursery in Hickman.
Nancy Fowler-Johnson, president and general manager of Fowler Nurseries in Newcastle, said the nursery sells out of bare-root trees every year.
"Growers would be wise to order early to reserve the preferred rootstock and varieties for their particular growing conditions," she said.
Robert Woolley, president of Dave Wilson Nursery, agreed, saying that planning ahead is always important, especially considering the current wave of new plantings going in for virtually all varieties of tree crops.
"Traditionally, we used to count on selling about a third of our stock pre-bud and offering a pre-bud discount. Another third was sold during the growing season and the final third was sold during the dig-out (when bare-root trees are prepared for shipment). That would be the old model," he said. "Now, you better get your order in pre-bud to secure planting stock for the following winter. After the budding season is past by mid-June, it is catch as catch may."
Woolley cited walnuts on the popular Paradox rootstocks and self-pollinating almonds on hybrid rootstocks as two examples of trees already sold out for this winter and next.
It's the same story for Duarte, who said his nursery is currently taking orders for 2014 for almonds, walnuts and pistachios.
"On most crops, we have been keeping a waiting list for customers. If we don't have anything available in a window that a customer wants, we oftentimes find that we can fulfill it—but the buyer may have to wait for awhile," he said.
The improvement of rootstocks, which now are designed to thrive on poorer soils and resist destructive pests and diseases, has helped accelerate planting of permanent crops. For example, salt-tolerant and drought-tolerant pistachios have allowed for the proliferation of plantings on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley.
"The clonal rootstocks are giving significant improvement in productivity and uniformity and resistance. We have highly salt-tolerant selections," Duarte said.
Walnuts are another tree crop that can be more widely grown because of rootstock improvements.
"We have walnut selections that are more adapted to wetter soils or weaker soils. We no longer have to see walnuts only put into the perfect river-bottom ground. We can move walnuts into some areas where they are less historically known to grow," Duarte said.
Blowovers, when high winds combined with wet soils result in almond trees being uprooted, have been a problem for years, but new rootstocks have allowed growers to plant trees with stronger root systems, Fowler-Johnson said.
"The roots themselves have amazing strength that tremendously reduces blowover. It adapts to various soil types, is grower-friendly and has outstanding yield statistics," she said. "We are seeing similar game-changing advances in rootstock adaptation to alkalinity, lower quality soils, replant disorder and other environmental challenges."
In addition to trees, Duarte produces grapevines, which he said are also registering brisk sales. Duarte's trees and vines are container plants, rather than bare-root, which gives growers a broader planting window, he said.
"We are still booking some grapevines for 2013 delivery. I suspect that we will keep booking for 2013 as we go through production next year and have good results. We will probably be releasing vines all through next spring and summer," Duarte said.
The design of vineyards, particularly in the San Joaquin Valley, is undergoing a shift that results in huge increases in production. New vineyards have gone from the traditional 440 vines per acre to closer to 800 to 1,000 vines per acre in some of the more dense vineyards, Duarte said.
"We are seeing enormous jumps in productivity per acre. Wineries are now starting to understand that growers need maximum productivity out of that land," he said.
Current trends of orchard planting density are also changing, observed Stacy Anderson of Dave Wilson Nursery.
"The thought when planting an orchard today is quick returns. This interprets to more trees per acre as well as different growing and pruning techniques," Anderson said. "The idea is to fill the orchard floor with fruiting wood as soon as possible. Growers are seeing good returns on young orchards and are becoming more aggressive in planting density."
Fowler-Johnson said growers across all commodities are more adept at modifying their spacing based on the soil, training techniques, rootstocks, varieties and latest research data.
"In general, tree crops are providing positive cash flows for hardworking growers and allowing them to move forward during this general economic downturn. Growers remain mindful that the tide may change at any time," she said.

Workers' Compensation in South Dakota
A workplace injury or the diagnosis of an occupational illness can be devastating. You may be facing medical bills, lost wages and even a long-term disability. Fortunately, South Dakota workers' compensation insurance is a no-fault insurance that covers most workers in the state. A local workers' comp attorney can guide you through the process of filing a claim, appealing a denied claim or getting the money you deserve.
The Basics of South Dakota Workers' Comp Benefits
By law, all South Dakota employers are required to provide workers' compensation insurance to full-time and part-time employees beginning on the employee's first day of work and at no cost to the employee.
According to the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation, the only employees who are not covered by workers' comp insurance are:
- Farm workers
- Domestic employees (with some exceptions)
- Independent contractors
- Some elected officials
- Workfare participants
Workers' compensation insurance covers workers who are injured on the job, killed on the job or develop an occupational disease. Benefits include:
- Medical treatment
- Partial wages if you're unable to work for at least seven consecutive days because of your medical issue
- Compensation if you are temporarily or permanently disabled
- Rehabilitation
- Death benefits
You'll want to hire a workers' compensation attorney if you're uncomfortable filing a claim or navigating the workers' comp claims process on your own. A lawyer is also recommended if you need to appeal a denied claim or if you receive less in benefits than you think you deserve. Finally, hire an attorney if you're injured while working in a job that isn't covered by South Dakota workers' compensation insurance, because you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit to collect compensation for your injuries.

Quasigeostrophic and stratified boussinesq turbulence
Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
AbstractTurbulence generated by random isotropic i.c.'s in the strongly stratified and rapidly rotating environment that characterises large-scale atmosphere/ocean flows, leads to nonlinear geostrophic adjustment via a downscale cascade of wave energy and a first-order decoupling of geostrophic modes from linear wave modes. The march toward ever higher resolution in "realistic" models has renewed the community's interest in smaller-scale stratified turbulence with weak rotation, where this large-scale decoupling is reduced. Proceeding to even smaller scales, i.e. L~H~U/N, where L and H are the horizontal and vertical length scales and N is the Brunt-Vaissalla frequency, 3-d overturning may occur (Thorpe 1977). Our recent non-rotating simulations of stratified flow show that, if the Reynolds number is sufficiently high, then the characteristic vertical scale decreases until the usual Froude number (U/NH) reaches order unity from below, where it saturates. Increasing the stratification decreases the Froude number based on the horizontal scale. Rescaling the equations in this way yields hydrostatic flow where the vertical advection term is not small. On the other hand, if the vertical scale of the flow is set by viscosity, weak rotation or, for some period of time, by the initial conditions, the classical quasi-horizontal layered flow of Riley, Metcalfe & Weissman (1981) is recovered. We also simulated how this picture changes with the addition of varying rotation rates in order to observe the transition from stratified to quasigeostrophic (QG) turbulence. Throughout this work we examined the statistics of linear wave and vortical (PV) modes separately. It was shown that, although they form a complete basis, they can only be expected to have dynamical relevence when U/NH<<1. While this is the case in QG flow, and for strongly-stratified decay of isotropic i.c.'s, its application must be restricted to the buoyancy range in stratified turbulence without rotation. In the QG limit, we removed the omega-equation contribution to the vertical velocity from the total field, to study the degree of balance obtained at various Rossby numbers. Finally, with parameterisation of "wave drag" in balanced models in mind, we explicitly calculated the energy drain on the linear vortical modes exerted by the linear wave modes as a tentative preliminary step. Predictability, as a function of Rossby and Froude numbers is an ongoing focus.
If it doesn't, something may have gone wrong with our embedded player.
We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.

The new film, "Babel," presented a unique challenge to its director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. From Reuters:
"Babel," starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, debuts in U.S. theaters on Friday with a global tale of how languages and cultural traditions divide people more than distance or personal ideologies. It expands nationwide in coming weeks. "The most difficult challenge in this film … was to get rid of text and find how to translate these words — and in this case three continents, five languages and four stories, all these diverse elements — into one, single visual language," said Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
I completely understand Inarritu's dilemma, since I try to reach as many cultures as possible with my writing. Sometimes, I find that it can be overwhelming and the best way to express a punchline is with a visual.

Oh snap! You just got mooned.
Many more photos (Matt Dillon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ivanka Trump, Naomi Watts, Moby, and many more) from the premiere of "Babel" after the jump.

In Thailand, video games have been under government attack ever since the August slaying of a taxi driver by a 19-year-old man who reportedly told police he was re-enacting a scene from Grand Theft Auto.
In today's edition of Bangkok newspaper The Nation, an editorial terms games "a menace":
A number of Thai children have become addicted to computer games, which can be destructive not only to their social behaviour but also their studies.
There have been a series of cases of some children unknowingly committing violent acts because they were imitating scenes they have seen on computer games, some of which contain graphic images…
A survey from the Culture Ministry revealed that Thai children spent around 2 hours a day playing computer games. About 80 per cent of them choose the combat-style, action-packed games, some of which come with graphic and violent images. The addiction can affect their personality as they become more prone to bursts of anger and violence. Without proper guidance, some are unable to distinguish between fantasy and the real world.
GP: As GamePolitics reported last month, the Thai Ministry of Culture banned five games.

I have seen the word SIMM and DIMM a lot, and was ignoring what they mean, but it seems that SIMM and DIMM basically just means:
a circuit board that contains all the RAM components on it, to serve as 1 unit, for example, as a 2GB unit.
So a computer that has 4 DIMMs, each with 2GB, will be 8GB of RAM.
And SIMM just means the slot contacting points are redundant on both sides, while DIMM are independent contacting points. And SO-DIMM is half the size of a DIMM.
Is there any case where a SIMM or DIMM is actually more than 1 circuit board? Or do they ALWAYS refer to 1 circuit board?
