Nothing vast enters the lives of mortals without ruin.
— Sophokles, Antigonick, trans. Anne Carson
A Japanese goddess descends to earth in László Krasznahorkai's Seiobo There Below, bearing the fruit of immortality from her heavenly peach tree — but no one notices. She has come to grace the performance of a Noh play that, like Krasznahorkai's book, bears her name, but though the actor who dances her role has prayed for the opportunity to perform this piece — "I Give Up My Fate Entirely!" — he does not see how his prayer stands manifested beside him.
There are books that, though fantastical, are nevertheless so profoundly continuous with reality that we cease to read them as fantasy. In Krasznahorkai's breathtaking novel, the sacred exists; Seiobo, who narrates her journey herself, is a fact, just as the actor and the audience are facts. A later narrator offers us the guiding principle of this, our own, reality: amid the "forbidden symmetries" in the halls of the Alhambra, he observes that "something infinite can exist in a finite, demarcated space." The god is there in the theatre. Seiobo There Below itself is a finite, demarcated space, but in it something infinite exists.
The latest of Krasznahorkai's full-length works to be translated into English, Seiobo There Below is a confrontation with the vast, and therefore with vulnerability. In each of its seventeen chapters, the novel describes a process of artistic creation, from the making of Russian icons and the reconstruction of the Ise Shrine in Japan, to the attribution of Italian Renaissance paintings and the carving of Noh masks. Krasznahorkai's erudition is staggering, but the way he relates the choosing of the wood for the shrine, or the restoration of a canvas, is so attentive and so modest that is sidesteps pedantry entirely, and instead participates in the very concentration it describes. The chapters are numbered according to the Fibonacci sequence, in which each number is the sum of the two before it, and indeed, Seiobo There Below compounds and reinforces itself ever more rapidly, its scope soon defying human proportions.
The artworks Krasznahorkai describes are not only objects, but vessels of a sacred impulse: they are body and soul. The protagonists of the novel — artists, academics, and vagabonds — seek out these works, yearning for transcendence, and are instead crushed by terrifying facts: first, the fact of the work's existence, its material undeniability, and second, the fact of its radical spiritual loneliness. More often than not, the encounter with art and/or the sacred ends in existential disaster. These former channels to the gods have been closed; they have become nearly empty signifiers. In the chapter "Where You'll Be Looking," for example, a guard at the Louvre wants nothing more than to spend eight hours a day looking at the Venus de Milo. But he knows that the statue
did not belong here, more precisely, she did not belong here nor anywhere upon the earth, everything that she, the Venus de Milo meant, whatever it might be, originated from a heavenly realm that no longer existed … and yet she, this Venus from this higher realm remained here, left abandoned ….
We do not want the sacred anymore, Seiobo asserts; we have chased it away. But we left a memory of it in these objects, and when we demand something from these memories, we forget that they have the power to destroy us.
The tension between order and chaos has been central to all of Krasznahorkai's books available in English, Satantango, The Melancholy of Resistance, and War and War. In Seiobo There Below, this tension takes on its most moving and elegant form. Entropy, for Krasznahorkai, is the ultimate destiny of the universe, and art is necessarily in its service. Many characters in the novel are initially attracted by an artwork and the sacred force within it and compelled toward it, only to be overwhelmed by its presence, and then, in the attempt to retreat, paralyzed or annihilated. Some become forces for evil: one chapter is ominously titled "A Murderer is Born"; in another, an artist carves a theatre mask, never understanding that "what his hands have brought into the world is a demon, and that it will do harm."
The demonic is the shadow of the sacred, and Krasznahorkai does not let us forget it. He is no stranger to darkness; his work is famously bleak. But with Seiobo There Below, he reminds us of an observation of John Berger's, once made in relation to Goya: "The despair of the artist is often misunderstood. It is never total. It excepts his own work." In Krasznahorkai's case, it excepts not only his own work, but also that of countless others, named and unnamed, from both the east and the west. Small, understated gestures throughout the book remind us that it is love, not fear, that drives us to art.
Within the inevitable move toward entropy, Krasznahorkai traces a tiny space of freedom, a tiny path from which to approach the sacred. It requires making the world as small as possible, narrowing the vastness down to just this one brush, this blue pigment, this hinoki wood, this mask and this tool, this ancient way based on ritual and unflinching observation. The successful artists of Seiobo There Below make the space in which the sacred can appear as small as possible, so that it is not deadly yet, so that Seiobo can come and say, "I am not the desire for peace, I am peace itself … do not be afraid." Seiobo There Below is, in its way, a joyful book.
Even for the most successful of these artists, however, the final result of an encounter with the sacred is non-existence. "Ze'ami is Leaving" is a poignant, beautiful chapter about an ideal artistic creation: one that subsumes the artist into it, making him disappear like the Chinese painter of legend who sailed off into his own landscape. Ze'ami, the most revered figure of the Noh tradition and the author of the original Seiobo play, has been exiled from Kyoto, his home. At some point during his solitary, uneventful days, a poem begins to take shape in his head, and when Ze'ami contemplates the silent hototogisu bird, art and nature finally combine with such harmony that it is as if the poem arises by itself:
hototogisu literally means the bird of time, he tasted the word in this sense, nearly twisting it around — the compound signifying the cuckoo bird is the bird of time — to see from which side it would be suitable to give form to his soul's deepest sorrows; at last he found the way, and the melody began to formulate itself within him — he was just thinking about it, not calling it by name — and the verse somehow formulated itself like this: just sing, sing to me, so not only you will mourn; I too shall mourn, old old man, abandoned and alone, far from the world, I mourn my home, my life, lost forever.
Ze'ami subsequently turns to prose and writes, essentially, the chapter we have just read. The book that writes itself in our hands is a frequent feature of Krasznahorkai's work, and here, it allows his own act of creation to join the collection of objects so reverently described, the human archive that will outlast us.
The Ze'ami chapter is followed by one more, number 2584 in the Fibonacci sequence, called "Screaming Beneath the Earth," in which buried animal sculptures from China's ancient Shang dynasty screech for all eternity against the "earth-demon" that crushes them and that will one day crush all of us. This brief, disturbing final episode, with its characterization of China as endless and immeasurable, clearly recalls Kafka. But in its tight, coiled fury, it is also reminiscent of Krasznahorkai's own Animalinside, a collaboration with the German artist Max Neumann (published in English before Seiobo There Below but in Hungarian after):
and before their cataract-clouded bulging eyes there is not even one centimeter of space, not even a quarter-centimeter, not even a fragment of that quarter, into which these cataract-clouded bulging eyes could stare, for the earth is so thick and so heavy, from all directions there is only that, everywhere earth and earth, and all around them is that impenetrable, impervious, weighty darkness that lasts truly for all time to come, surrounding every living being, for we too shall walk here, every one of us…
Finishing Seiobo There Below is like walking out of a cathedral: its parting gift is a ringing in the ears. This book is magnificent and will outlive interpretation.
Krasznahorkai's English readers are doubly fortunate this year to have not only Seiobo There Below, but the arts magazine Music & Literature, whose superlative second issue was devoted to Krasznahorkai, Max Neumann, and the filmmaker Béla Tarr. "Ze'ami is Leaving" appeared there several months before the novel was available, accompanied by a selection of Krasznahorkai's short stories, speeches, and interviews, all previously unavailable in English, and all as bewitching as his novels.
Of particular interest are the commentaries by Krasznahorkai's translators. George Szirtes' essay "Foreign Laughter: Foreign Music" describes his process of translating Krasznahorkai for the first time. The translator of Seiobo There Below, Ottilie Mulzet, whose challenges must have been enormous and whose results are miraculous, gives a brilliant interview in which she explains Krasznahorkai's relationship to Asia and shares her own insight into his work.
Additionally, Music & Literature provides translations of reviews and essays by French, Hungarian, and German critics, as well as original pieces by Anglophone writers. Though the issue is mainly devoted to Krasznahorkai, Béla Tarr is considered in an essay by the Argentinean writer Sergio Chejfec, and Max Neumann is given due praise in a spectacular essay by Dan Gunn, who edits the Cahiers Series that published Animalinside. The volume makes an impressive addition to Krasznahorkai scholarship in English, and will no doubt remain an invaluable resource to his readers for years to come.

Fast forward to today, my parent leave to get their car fixed and I wake up to Zane with a Grapefruit sized lump on his shoulder, I immediately call the vet and make an appointment. Vet thinks it was caused by an insect/sharp stick, since we have a lot of ground vegetation with thorns,prickles and other sharp things. Has anyone dealt with a drain before? He is resting by himself in another room away from the other dogs, has some pain/antibiotic pills and we are going back to the vet on Saturday to have it removed.

Midnight may seem an odd hour to stock up on Christmas goodies but retailers and shopping centres say around-the-clock trading over the festive period brought higher sales and foot traffic last month.
Westfield shopping centres in Sydney's Parramatta, Brisbane's Chermside and Adelaide's Marion for the first time opened their doors on Thursday, December 20, for 33 hours of uninterrupted trading. South Australian retailers for the first time were allowed to trade on Boxing Day.
Retailers said sales during those extra trading hours made up for any higher running costs incurred as a result of being open longer.
A Westfield spokesperson said foot traffic in the Chermside mall peaked between 10pm and 2am.
"It was just so busy. We had a lull from 3am onwards, but it picked up again at six or seven o'clock in the morning," Parramatta Cotton On store manager Sarah Oemar said. Takings for the clothing store in the 33 hours were more than triple what it makes on a good day.
Retailers including Angus and Coote jewellers in Parramatta and Cobbler Plus in Chermside said more than 90 per cent of shops remained open for the 33 hours.
Extending trading hours is a perennially contentious industrial issue as retailers and unions tussle over the balance between adequate compensation for working "unsociable hours" and providing employers with flexible, affordable working arrangements.
Union groups appear to be cautiously supportive of the extended hours over the holiday trading season.
"Retail workers understand that extra trading hours is something they have to deal with at this time of year, but we want to make sure people working unusual hours are doing so willingly," Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association South Australian secretary, Peter Malinauskas, told The Australian Financial Review. The union had not received an unusual level of complaints in the period.
Australian Retailers Association executive director Russell Zimmerman said stores would achieve higher sales by trying to bring uniformity to seasonal trading hours . "There's a sense of confusion about what's opened, when," he said.
The Harris Scarfe department store in Adelaide's Rundle Mall recorded Boxing Day sales three times the level of a standard day.
"It means a lot to have that one extra day of trading," company spokesperson Chris Kontos said.

No. 4 Vanderbilt Commodores vs.
No. 13 Siena Saints
Time: 7:20 p.m. Friday
BY BRIAN LANDMAN | Times Staff Writer
After a wacky weekend of classic showdowns and improbable upsets and an unprecedented situation in the SEC following a horrific storm, Selection Sunday offered relatively few surprises.
Especially at the top.
North Carolina, which spent most of the season atop the polls, earned the No. 1 seed overall in the 65-team tournament and will open East Region play in Raleigh, N.C. Memphis, UCLA and Kansas are the other top seeds. All four won their respective leagues' conference tournaments.
"It was a crazy weekend in a lot of ways," selection committee chairman Tom O'Connor said. "We had eight contingency plans and all of the games (Sunday) had implications. … But we're really satisfied with how it turned out."
While the road to San Antonio and "madness" begins Tuesday in Dayton between Mount St. Mary's and surprise MEAC tournament-winner Coppin State, the first team with 20 losses to make the NCAAs, opening-weekend games also are back in the bay area and the St. Pete Times Forum for the first time since 2003.
No. 4-seeded Connecticut headlines a foursome from
the West Region, while No. 5 Clemson, the ACC tournament runner-up, looms as one of the more dangerous teams in the Midwest foursome that play Friday and Sunday.
For both of those teams, this is familiar territory.
The UConn Huskies, which not only come here to play USF in Big East games, won the 1999 NCAA title in St. Petersburg. The Tigers were in Tampa a year ago at this time for the ACC tournament.
"Returning to the Tampa-St. Pete area certainly brings back fond memories for everyone associated with Connecticut basketball," said coach Jim Calhoun, whose team meets No. 13 San Diego, which upset Gonzaga to win the West Coast Conference tournament. "After several near misses at getting to a Final Four, the 1999 trip not only got us our first Final Four visit, but also our first national championship. Whenever we travel to Florida, we are always warmly greeted, especially by the thousands of UConn faithful who make their home in the area."
The Tigers' trip wasn't as memorable; an opening-day loss to Florida State. Still coach Oliver Purnell likes being fairly close to home as his team makes its first NCAA trip since 1998 and opens with No. 12 Villanova, A bubble team that eked into the field.
"Anytime you go east to west, for example, that's a bit of a hardship," he said. "But this is certainly a good location."
The other teams heading here are, from the Midwest Region, No. 4 Vanderbilt and No. 13 Siena, and from the West, No. 5 Drake, in the NCAAs for the first time since 1971, and No. 12 Western Kentucky.
"You've got some high-octane basketball going on there," CBS analyst Clark Kellogg said. "Drake wants to put it up and entertain. UConn, obviously, is a high-powered team. Vandy is an excellent offensive team. Siena might not be as well known as the others, but is a terrific offensive team; they're excellent off the dribble with Kenny Hasbrouck and Edwin Ubiles and Ronald Moore. … And Clemson, to me, is one of the really interesting teams. They're from a terrific league and they have a playing a style that is difficult to deal with, pressing and trapping and shooting the 3."
As is the case, not everyone got what they wanted or expected.
Neither Florida nor Ohio State, the teams that played for the 2007 NCAA title, received one of the 34 at-large bids. The last time neither finalist made the tournament the next season was 1980 when Michigan State and Indiana State were shut out.
The state of Florida has just one team in the field, Miami, which is back in for the first time since 2002.
Tennessee, which was vying for a No. 1 seed until it lost in the SEC semifinals to Arkansas, fell to a No. 2 seed. If form holds, the Volunteers will spend the second weekend in Charlotte, the closest region site to Knoxville which is why they were put in the East, not because they were the fourth No. 2, O'Connor said. The downside is that's where the Tar Heels figure to be, something coach Roy Williams has consistently downplayed even though that ensures a large UNC crowd.
"I don't look down the line," he said after cutting down the nets in Charlotte on Sunday afternoon. "In '95 (while at Kansas), everybody said the same thing, 'All you have to do is win the first two games and you get back to Kansas City.' We had a pretty doggone good basketball team and got back to Kansas City and got our butts kicked (by Virginia). So since that time, I've never been concerned about where we've played."

No. 5 Clemson Tigers vs.
No. 12 Villanova Wildcats
Time: About 9:50 p.m. Friday
(30 minutes following first game)

No. 13 San Diego Toreros

[15 September 2009]
Chicago Tribune (MCT)
CHICAGO — Vampire-themed entertainment keeps coming in waves, including the "Twilight" sequel, another vampire flick, "Priest," which began filming last month, and the TV show "The Vampire Diaries," which premiered on the CW network last week. Some involved in the genre might worry about backlash and oversaturation, but actor Ryan Kwanten of HBO's "True Blood" insisted he isn't too concerned.
"Personally, I don't (worry), purely due to the creative forces that are behind our show," said Kwanten, who made an here Friday as host of clothing boutique Akira's "Dusk Until Dawn" fashion show along with "True Blood" co-star Nelsan Ellis.
"True Blood" had its season finale Sunday and will return for a third season of blood, sex and violence in June. The show has been pulling in HBO's best numbers since "The Sopranos," including an impressive 5.3 million viewers for its Aug. 23 episode.
"We knew we were part of something special before the fans did," Kwanten said. "But to hear the fans and critics speak out and watch the show in ways we couldn't imagine, even an optimist couldn't have predicted it."
The 32-year-old Australian actor plays Jason Stackhouse, the dumb-yet-likable brother of protagonist Sookie Stackhouse, played by Anna Paquin . Jason was McConaughey-esque in Season 1, going shirtless for many scenes and frequently dropping trou for sex scenes as well.
Nudity is common on "True Blood," one of the reasons Kwanten said the show would be a bit different on network television.
"It would be 25 minutes long," Kwanten said. "There's a reason it's on HBO."
Kwanten said "True Blood" can push topics in a way network television can't. In its first two seasons, the drama has taken racism, homophobia, drug addiction and orgies and given them a vampire twist.
Would Kwanten consider himself a fan of the vampire genre in general?
"I'm into a good story," said Kwanten.
"But I'm not answering your question," he said with a smile.

You live by yourself,and you're an independent man.
You live by yourself,and you start drinking scotch

I'm about to getthe type of weird
that I can't even have peoplewitness on accident anymore.
Things are aboutto get strange,
and I'm gonna needsome solitude for that.
And I thinkit's much more that.
It's not so much like,"I'm gonna pay my bills on time
and read more books."
It's much more like,"Twizzlers look like

"and I cannot have somebodywalking into the laboratory

It's this corkscrew shape.
Lick 'emand stick 'em, fellas.
Find out about your bodies.
It's 2012. It's not gay.It's about loving yourself.
It's okay.
"Loneliness"is a subjective term.
You know, it's--it's different for everybody.
I mean, you're a castawayon an island.
There's nobody around.That's lonely, you know?
But it could also meanyou lack the simple courage
to be able to say"hello" to somebody
sitting next to youon a bus.
That's lonely too,you know?
For me,I can define loneliness.
I can just hone it inas the very moment
that I realizedthat I had forgotten
I was masturbating
at a motelin Green Bay, Wisconsin.
That's it.That's the point.
That what I remember.
Just--it's not even sexual anymore.
It's just, like,an aggressive shooing away
of a nuisanceat this point.
So like I--"Come on, get out of here."
It's like I'm taking a broomto get raccoons off the porch.
Like, "Come on.Just--yah!
I understand nowwhy a dog can hump something
but stilllook right at you.
Like, I understand that.
You see a dog,it's like, "What?
"This feels goodand you're my buddy.
You're the one making it weird.What? What?"

Black Sabbath Unleash Full 'End Of The Beginning' Music Video [VIDEO]
My mom loves the hit television series CSI and sometimes I'll watch with her. A few weeks ago she turned it on and there was Black Sabbath performing to a packed house on the show's season finale. It immediately caught my attention and set the stage for the entire episode. From that came the band's music video for "End of the Beginning." Check it out after the jump.
The track comes off the band's newly-released nineteenth studio album 13 and marks its second single behind the oh so popular radio hit single "God is Dead?"
Did you watch the band's performance on CSI?


text: I'm probably striking some of you as bi-polar at this point but once again I've regained a lot of confidence and faith in this team during the week (after all, I guess it can't happen on a Sunday yet). Anyway, I'm expecting the Texans to play inspired football this week and handle the Jaguars rather easily. I think it's a good matchup for us- I think their defense has lost something with the exit of Mike Smith and Stroud. Also, I think our front 4 should be able to handle their banged up Oline. Mainly, though, I've really liked the way the team has responded to Sunday's loss. They don't seem defeated. They seem angry and genuinely disgusted with their play. This is the stand to make in order to turn this season into something special. I think they'll do it!

iz cool.
I never thought when i heard this song that it could be turned into something like this, and yet here we are. Personally i think its great work. but it did kind end abruptly right when you start to get into the harder part of the song. Maybe in future work that should be taken into consideration. all in all though a clean beat. good job.

Merry Indeed.
I think this is what Christmas would sound like if you were high and sleep-deprived. But seriously, this is a decent piece of work. The beginning of the piece was pretty interesting, but when you got into the synth and everything, it became somewhat average. It wasn't that fun to listen to, and although I have to give you props for being unique, you could've made this better. Overall, nice idea, but it needs some work.

NAPA — Napa officials said this morning the initial estimate of damage from Sunday's 6.0-magnitude earthquake to privately owned homes and commercial properties in the city is $300 million.
The figure does not include damage to public buildings, infrastructure, loss of business inventories or general economic losses and city officials said they do not know how much of the damage will be eligible for reimbursement from government or other sources.
The Napa Valley Vintners trade association has not released any estimate of damage sustained by its 500 member wineries in the region, but the group is holding a news conference at 2 p.m. today.
PG&E has restored gas and electric service to all Napa customers, but the city has experienced an overflow problem from residents depositing debris at schools in the city.
The drop boxes at schools have been removed and the city has established primary debris drop-off sites at Fire Station 5's future location at the southwest corner of First and Laurel streets, the Las Flores Community Center at 4300 Linda Vista Ave., and the vacant lot on the north side of Third Street at the intersection of Burnell Street east of the railroad
Secondary drop-off sites are at Klamath, Century Oaks and Fairview parks and at Parking Lot G on the southwest corner of Pearl and Main streets.
There are 113 red-tagged and about 500 yellow-tagged structures in the city and the new Coombs Street pedestrian bridge has a damaged anchorage and has been closed as a precaution.
The damaged Tallgrass Bridge also is closed and foot and vehicle traffic to the Hidden Hills neighborhood should use the Sandybrook Bridge at Meadowbrook Drive.
The number of people staying at the American Red Cross evacuation center at the Crosswalk Community Church has grown since the earthquake from eight on Sunday night to 18 on Monday and 23 on Tuesday nights. The Salvation Army served 1,800 meals to residents on Tuesday.
The Napa Senior Center remains closed but the nutrition program is resuming today outside on the bocce courts.
The Second Street parking garage is still inaccessible, but other parking garages have been inspected and are open.
The Community Services Building is closed and counter service will not be available today. All other city offices and facilities are open.

Growing Fauxbivalence: Getting Married and Feeling Embarrassed about It
I think the most powerful indication of the growing appeal of single life is what can't be faked – the numbers. For decades, every big new Census report has shown that the number and percentage of unmarried Americans is growing. (The trend is not specific to the U.S.)
Clearly, marriage is no longer obligatory and more and more people are choosing not to join The Married Couples Club.
Alongside those hard numbers are some intriguing stories of how some people who do choose to marry are feeling about their decision. Apparently, they are embarrassed. They want their engagement rings, but they don't want those rings to look too much like an engagement ring. The brides want the dress, but if it is white, they feel all apologetic about that. If they do the whole diet and workout routine before the wedding, they try to reframe their actions as not really about the wedding.
I don't know of any scientific study of this phenomenon yet, so what I am discussing here goes into the category of a trend story that may or may not be capturing an actual growing trend.
If this really is happening – even if the trend is a modest one, in size – I think it may be significant. Ideologically, it is a huge about-face from the matrimania I have been describing for well over a decade. Matrimania, the over-the-top hyping of weddings, coupling, and marriage, has long been practiced without any apology or self-consciousness. Couples, pundits, marriage-promoters, and of course, the Marriage Industrial Complex are delighted to peddle the belief that of course getting married is grand, that those who do walk down that path should feel proud and even superior to everyone else, and that the observers of the rings and the rituals should stop in their tracks to ooh and ahh (and contribute expensive gifts).
But is that changing?
Phoebe Maltz Bovy got me thinking about attitudes about marrying with her story in the Atlantic, "An ironic, low-key, unconventional wedding is still a wedding." The tag line: "An ethically sourced engagement ring doesn't change the fact that you're engaged, just like a girl who got her jewelry at Zales."
Bovy opens her article with a nod to the new engagement rings that do not look very traditional. They are rings, she believes, "for women happy to get married…but who would rather if the significance of said accessories be kept quiet."
The author coined the term "fauxbivalence":
"Fauxbivalence is to be distinguished from cold feet, or a simple lack of interest in marriage. It refers exclusively to women who do want in on the institution, but who find this somehow embarrassing."
She adds: "The competitiveness one expects women to demonstrate regarding whose ring is flashiest lives on, only in the other direction."
Bovy believes that fauxbivalence may be especially intense among women who want not just marriage, but some of the conventional trappings of marriage. That, they believe, is really embarrassing!
The result of all this fauxbivalence, perhaps, is a spate of showy unconventionality. Hey look at my ring – it's ruby! It's ethically-sourced and uncut! It's plastic! But as Bovy notes, "the pressure to be different can be its own conformity."
Face it, the author tells the fauxbivalently engaged: No matter what jewelry you choose or what dress you wear, your wedding is not an expression of a new sentiment, and "you have not invented some radical new way for two human beings to relate to each other."
I like Phoebe Maltz Bovy's concluding piece of advice:
"Rather than playing up the subtle distinction between your alternative, low-key wedding and that of a suburban princess, you might be an ally to those who don't wish to get married at all…"
Now, having positioned this fauxbivalence as a possible new trend, I want to walk that back a bit and suggest something different. That feeling has been around for a while. Maybe it comes and goes with prevailing cultural mores and conversations. In her book published back in 2001, Here comes the bride: Women, weddings, and the marriage mystique, Jaclyn Geller hilariously and insightfully critiqued all the 1990s attempts at off-beat weddings. She did not use the term fauxbivalence, but that – and more – was what she was describing.
Read Here Comes the Bride if you are interested – I think it is a great read. Maybe you will also like this three-part interview I did with Jackie Geller:
Meet a brilliant, funny, and fearless satirist of the marriage mystique
Should newlyweds get all the loot, and other impolite considerations
Here's what happens when you publish an unconventional book about single life

ISSN 1678-4561. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-81232010000700096.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fluoride levels in public water supply in São Luís island, Maranhão State, Brazil, during the month of October of 2006. A stratification sampling was applied, considering the water treatment station (06) and the different districts (46). For fluoride analysis it was used a specific ion electrode. The fluoride concentration varied for 0.05 to 0.84 ppm. Only one water treatment station (Italuís) presented an ideal concentration of fluoride. It was concluded that the fluoride levels need adjustments, evidencing that it is essential an external control for monitoring of those levels in public water supply of São Luis.

The Apple iPhone 6 will be powered by a quad-core A8 processor, bringing Apple's next flagship smartphone in-line with the current crop of quad-core Android flagships. At least that's the latest information being reported by fresh leaks concerning Apple's next iPhone.
Apple's iPhone 5S is powered by a dual-core A7 processor, which more than stands up against the competition thanks to its 64-bit interface and the efficiency of Apple's iOS platform. But the move to a processor with double the amount of cores would provide a vast performance boost.
ZDNET in Korea are reporting that Apple will use Samsung to produce the new A8 processor, which apparently is already being tested with production due to begin in April. Their source inside Samsung also ruled out previous rumours suggesting that Apple had given the contract for the A8 processor to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
The new 64-bit processor is likely to be backed up by a quad-core GPU and the iPhone 6 will retain the same 64-bit architecture, albeit with even more optimisations thanks to the introduction of iOS 8. We've also heard that Apple's next iPhone will be thinner, lighter and will support Apple's own wireless payment method (similar to NFC).
As soon as we get more news about Apple's iPhone 6 you'll be the first to know!
Want to get an idea of how the iPhone 6 could look?

Ball Python Snake
Information on ball python snakes; how they got their name, how to handle one, what kind of infections they get and much more.
You want to be sure and get a healthy ball python when you choose one. If the python has indications of salmonella then that indicates that it has not been in a clean environment. Be sure there are no apparent wounds on the outside of the ball, and be sure it is shedding in
a healthy way. When they shed the outer skin turns blue.
Ball pythons are known for respiratory infections. Large portions of reptiles carry the salmonella bacteria in their
intestines and it does not hurt them, however, in humans it can cause stomach cramps much like having the flu.
When you feed your ball be sure to feed him mice, rats, and gerbils. Sometimes the ball will be choosy about what color of mice he eats. He may usually eat white and one day want only black. The ball has about 200 teeth, all needle sharp and pointing towards the throat.
To handle your ball just pick him up and he will wrap himself around your arms. They are not good to take into public as some people are very afraid of snakes. On the other hand snakes can make very good pets for children.
Snakes require less work and they are gorgeous, and interesting to watch. Many times exotic pets can spark an interest in the natural world.
The ball python should be kept in a 20-29 gallon tank or aquarium, and is native to the rain forest of Central Africa. They are the smallest python member only growing to be 4-5 feet in length.You must have some essentials for the little fellow like a special light, a water dish so he can drink and soak himself, a hiding place for him, and some heat for him, like maybe some heat strips for the bottom of his little home. He should also have some branches to climb on since he loves to climb.
The ball python got it's name from it's habit of curling up into a ball and tucking it's head in the middle when frightened.

Luckily, I might not a person that suffers from stress generally...having said that, it does clear out any tresses that crop up-and if you are feeling neutral/good to begin with, you feel even better at the end of a run! Lets hear it for euphoria! :-D
Mental Benefits of Sport
Posted by Cags R under Running on 30 July 2012 at 11:00 PM
Asics Europe have recently performed a study on the reasons people start running and why they then continue with it.
The original drive to begin running is generally physical - 'I want to lose weight' or 'I want to improve my fitness'. Most of us can probably relate to this goal as a reason to start exercising more frequently, but what is it that makes us continue exercising once we reach our weightloss or fitness goals?
In their survey, the Asics researchers found that the motivation to continue exercising is predominantly to do with the mental benefits that exercise produces; 'stress-relief', 'enjoyment' and 'mental rewards of reaching targets' are leading reasons for people to include regular exercise into their routine. This is also combined with the fact that exercise is addictive - all those awesome endorphines make you want to keep coming back to it.
Although weight loss is a huge motivator to start running, enjoyment and fitness are what keeps people running. The report also went into why people choose running as a fitness/weight loss option; it is easily accessible, there is minimal specialist equipment, it does not depend on proximity to facilities and it is cheap!
You can read more about it in Asics' report here and don't forget to leave your success stories in comments below! How do you feel running has helped your stress levels?
Jonathan H, Lucille W and 14 othersJonathan H, Lucille W, Peter M, Teresa D, Jack A, Julien T, Joanna R, Arnaud L, Joshua B, Louise P, Laura N, Justin B, Joanne H, Neil B, Paris F and Eder G encouraged this.
Working out and running anchors me. I have so much going on in my life - in a good way - but it can get a bit hectic. Running make me feel like I accomplish something. Running helps me connect with things outside my desk area. =) Perspective always lowers stress levels for me.
I am a person who seems to be prone to stress. I started running to improve my fitness but I feel like I have improved my mental wellbeing too. I have a stressful job I find difficult to take time away from, and when I do get time off I try to catch up with friends and family, so running is my 'me-time'. :)
Although I am not now a runner, I still feel the rush after a good workout and walking or any exercise, especially out doors, is just as good at improving a low mood as running (being somewhere different, a change of scenery, giving your brain a rest from worries etc)
I agree with you there @kirstin200 - although I run occasionally I prefer to cycle, even if it's raining there's definitely a great feeling after a quick paced run or cycle which cheers me up. I do get mega-grumpy if I'm unhappy with my performance in sport though - my old hockey team called it my 'post-loss strop'!
interesting post @cags - aside from generally making me happy I also love running because no matter how you perform in races, and even if you don't compete in races at all, you are always competing against yourself - the cycle of continuous improvement is healthy and rewarding.
To my mind sport is essential to a balanced lifestyle. I have relied even more on running since I lost my job over a year ago but like Lucille W said it absolutely acts as an anchor for me. Although I do take days off I generally feel better when some form of excercise is part of my day!!
I found this a while back http://www.runaddicts.net/health-nutrition/the-physical-and-mental-benefits-of-running
Joanne H encouraged this.
I dont run, but I do exercise in other ways. I know that if I don't exercise regularly I get pretty ansty! I also know that if I have a bad day at work a decent round of curcuits does far more for my state of mind than anything else. And that includes chocolate! =D
Very good reading............:)
Lori W encouraged this.
When I was in college, I took up Yoga as a means of mental relief after being diagnosed with a form of depression. I always maintain that was the main reason I had such a speedy recovery. Now, after being diagnosed with something similar, my running and my exercise is what has kept me sane (relatively at least) over the last year. Exercise is the one thing I could not live without, it's my 'drug' and what is fixing me :) Great article!
nothing helps stress and depression better than a good run or workout. i try to get people to understand this on a daily basis. too many people taking antidepressants. this is one reason i cant wait to get my pt certification.
Paris F encouraged this.
Stay fit for fun, I say =)
As reported by experts from http://researchpaperwritings.net/buy-research-papers/ , since 1970 there have been hundreds of studies published on how Transcendental Meditation improves mental and physical functions. Many brain wave studies show how TM brings more coherence to brain functioning and that it produces a unique style of brain functioning. The studies show that, with regular meditation this growth improves. Recent studies correlate the experience of higher states of consciousness (which correlate to traditional descriptions of "enlightenment"...i.e., the experience of a transcendental, absolute, blissful state of awareness) with the changes in the coherence and style of functioning in brain waves of TM meditators. Look for videos on youtube by Dr. Fred Travis describing this research.

It seems that drama and Kilmarnock are somehow never far apart.
Kenny Shiels, the visiting manager, started his SFA ban sitting in the stand and relaying messages to Jimmy Nicholl, his assistant, directing Kilmarnock through a physical battle from which they ultimately emerged victorious.
Jamie Langfield, the Aberdeen goalkeeper, was sent off after he halted Borja Perez's 50-yard run into the area, giving the visitors a penalty kick which Liam Kelly ferociously converted.
Loading article content
Kilmarnock's second goal, just before full time and again from Kelly, brought relief from the home side's pummelling of their opponents for long spells in the second half.
Shiels did not appear in the media room after the game, and Craig Brown, the Aberdeen manager, did not wish to comment on the penalty incident, perhaps mindful of his counterpart's spat with the SFA for his views about referees' decisions.
"If I had a gripe about the ordering-off," Brown said, "I wouldn't be voicing it. The first goal was a defining moment, but we dominated the game in the second half. It's a major concern that Perez managed to run through our midfield and our back three and get as close to the goal as he did. If he had put it into the back of the net I would have been questioning my team."
Shiels' vantage point afforded him a better view than Brown of proceedings and, early pressure from home team notwithstanding, it allowed him to attempt to work out a response to what seemed a curious Aberdeen formation.
Apart from a fourth-minute chance as Perez found space in the area from which to shoot a few inches past Langfield's left-hand post, Aberdeen had the majority of first-half possession, though their shoot-on-sight instructions did little to worry Cammy Bell, the Kilmarnock goalkeeper.
The visitors' patience contrasted with the more hurried approach of Aberdeen, keen to grab the opening goal so as not, in Brown's words, to have to again play "fight-back football".
However, with 45 minutes played Perez burst forward from inside his own half, catching the home defence off guard and almost inviting Langfield to fell him with an attempted save as he pushed the ball past the goalkeeper.
Rory Fallon, whose huffing and puffing had produced nothing, was immediately substituted for back-up keeper Jason Brown, whose first act was to pick out Kelly's penalty from his net.
Thus the second half began with Aberdeen instructed to do what they had sorely hoped to avoid and – a powerful header wide by Paul Heffernan from six yards out aside – they laid siege to their visitors.
The commitment from Aberdeen was palpable. Josh Magennis's 35-yard strike rattled Bell's crossbar and Niall McGinn, too, came close, with a 20-yard free-kick, the Kilmarnock goalkeeper having to be at his best to keep out the ball.
But for all their effort, energy and enthusiasm, it was Kilmarnock who again found the net. As the Aberdeen defence froze, Rory McKenzie's return ball found Kelly and he struck from the edge of the area, leaving Aberdeen still seeking their third home win of the season.
"The manager is always talking about the offensive side of the game, which is right," said Nicholl, "but recently we've been conceding goals. While the things we asked them to do probably sounded negative to the players, we just wanted a decent performance and to get something from the game. Aberdeen came at us and posed us problems in the second half, and we were grateful to see the second goal go in."

The Los Altos High girls basketball team entered this week having won 13 consecutive games, surely the program's longest such streak in decades. The Eagles (15-3 overall) haven't lost since Dec. 10.
Is there a secret to their winning ways?
A close examination of the game stats during this run reveals few common threads. They have scored as many as 65 points and as few as 36, shooting from 21 to 46 percent. Los Altos has survived committing 24 turnovers – twice – and made at least 15 steals in six of these games.
One constant: The Eagles have soared in the second half. In all 13 games, they outscored their opponent after halftime – by a combined 147 points.
"The second half seems to be our half," first-year head coach Jaclyn Brode said. "We get down early and fight back. We're the comeback kids."
The coach attributes Los Altos' second-half success to "conditioning and offseason work." When opposing teams tire late in games, the Eagles continue to pressure the ball, grab rebounds and pursue loose balls with vigor.
"We're able to wear teams down in the third quarter," Brode said, "and we're outlasting them."
That's how Los Altos beat Saratoga in a key Santa Clara Valley Athletic League El Camino Division game Jan. 17. Down 14 in the third quarter, the Eagles rallied for a 43-40 road win.
"I'm sure Saratoga wants revenge – they probably feel they gave that one up," said Brode, whose team outscored the Falcons 14-6 in the fourth period. "The rematch is going to be an absolute dogfight."
The rematch is scheduled 6:15 p.m. Friday at Los Altos. The Eagles lead the division with a 6-0 record; Saratoga is second at 5-1.
With a win, Los Altos puts itself in prime position to claim the division title.
"That's our goal," Brode said.
It's safe to assume the Eagles won't shoot their way to this goal. Their field-goal percentage for the season is just 31 percent.
"We're not a good shooting team," Brode said. "We're better on defense – we key on getting stops and (expect that) the ball will eventually fall into the hoop."
Post player Meghan McDermott is the lone Los Altos player averaging double-digit points (13.1) and also tops the team in rebounds per game (10.4). She scored a team-high 13 points in last week's 45-33 home win over Cupertino.
"It all starts and ends with Meghan – she's our superstar," Brode said of the 5-foot-9 senior. "She does whatever it takes to help us win."
A pair of sophomores rank second and third on the team in scoring – guard Katie Munro (7.9) and forward Meg Enthoven (7.6).
"Meg is so physical and is all over the court," Brode said. "Katie is coming along – she's a heady player."
The coach also praised point guard Kelly Hamamoto, whom she said "plays ridiculous defense." The senior averages nearly six steals per game.
Then there's junior guard Rebecca Andrews, who is playing soccer in the same season. A "pesky defender," according to Brode, Andrews last month scored two goals for the Los Altos soccer squad and 12 for the basketball team on the same day.
With players like this, no wonder Brode relishes her job.
"Every day I wait for practice – I love it," she said. "The girls enjoy each other and have bought in to what we're trying to do. I couldn't have asked for a better start to my first year."

Im going to have turbinate cauterization (just soft tissue) done soon and was wondering whether its advisable I got rhinoplasty done 8 weeks after the cauterization? I do have a deviated septum, but my doctor said that the deviation is not severe and that cauterization would aide my breathing. I want to get rhinoplasty/septoplasty done for cosmetic purposes with another doctor. Would there be complications? Is it better to wait longer after the cauterization? Any info on this is appreciated!
Rhinoplasty After Turbinate Cauterization?
Doctor Answers 8
Okay to have rhinoplasty after turbinate cauterization
It is certainly acceptable to undergo a septorhinoplasty 8 weeks after turbinate cauterization. The two surgeries will not conflict with one another and in experienced hands there should not be any complications related to both procedures.
Rhinoplasty After Turbinate Cauterization?
These two surgeries are most often done at one time, requiring one anesthetic and recovery. Separating the Rhinoplasty from the turbinate work and dividing them into two procedures with two anesthetics seems unnecessary, IMHO. I have performed Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty for well over 22 years and I have found that proper placement of a small dose of kenalog 10 into the submucosal tissues of the inferior turbinate will cause shrinkage without the possible complications of turbinate resection or cauterization.

Rhinoplasty timing after turbinate reduction
You shouldn't have to wait very long after turbinate surgery before having a rhinoplasty or septoplasty. As many of the other doctors here mentioned, it is more typical to combine these procedures, though,

Turbinate reduction and rhinoplasty
Even a week in between the procedures is fine. However, a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon is an expert in both. Having them both done done at the same time is best.
Good luck

Turbinate cauterization
Reducing the turbinates either by cauterization or resection is often done to improve breathing and can be either done in combination with rhinoplasty or as an independent procedure. If you are planning to undergo rhinoplasty anyway, it makes sense to combine the procedures. If you wish to have them done separately, 8 weeks is plenty of time between the two procedures.
Turbinates and rhinoplasty
If you are set on septorhinoplasty surgery and have a close date in mind, I would then not do turbinate cauterization now and would combine it with septorhinoplasty. Turbinate procedures are done customarily with rhinoplasty surgery and it just makes no sense to put yourself through 2 separate procedures when it all can be done as one. However, if you are not certain about septorhinoplasty yet and want to get some breathing improvement in the interim, then turbinate cauterization may be a valid option.
Turbs & Rhino
Turbinate Reductions and Rhinoplasty procedures usually compliment one another and go well together........like salt & pepper!
Rhinoplasty after Turbinate Cauterization
You will not have any problems doing a rhinoplasty 8 weeks after turbinate cauterization. Why not do both procedures at the same time. Cauterization is a relatively easy procedure that can be done by any good rhinoplasty surgeon.

Congratulations are in order for Carson Daly, 38, and Siri Pinter, 30!
The Voice host and his partner are expecting their second child in early September. "[I'm] 5 and a half months already!" Siri announces on her blog. "I am beyond thrilled and blessed. I have been eating a lot of cookies," she writes.
The couple are already parents to 3-year-old son Jackson.
Carson recently gushed about his happy family life.
Any parent can probably understand it when I say, 'I get it now.' I sort of get life's purpose now," he said. "It's something you don't really understand until you've created something with your life partner or someone that you love. So I look at my time with my son and it really put things in perspective. I thought I had things in perspective. With me, it's my faith and my family and everything else falls somewhere in categories underneath all that. But when you have your child, it's a game changer."
Thanks to CBS reader Danjella!

What time of the year will you doing this trip?
During summer and early fall, the national parks between SF and Chicago are some of the best places the US has to offer. You can visit all of them and barely leave your car seat.
During the winter, some are not so inviting.
> appreciate any suggestions
Other than "no long walks," what are your interests? Culture? Museums? Desert beauty? Mountain overlooks? Wildlife? A specific aspect of USA history?

Thanks Paul,
Traveling in summer late July early August. Love a spectacular view of just about anything and am starting to get into photography.
History and culture of different areas interest me.
Looking forward to the architecture of the cities but in between small towns are the main attraction.
Cheers for reply am a first time user/reader and am enjoying reading lots of threads.

If traveling in summer, then take (what I and others call) the Northern Route. With two weeks, you won't have time for all the great national parks, but you can hit some of the best.
This would mean Yosemite NP; then north to Portland, Oregon; then east through the Columbia Gorge and on to Yellowstone and Grant Teton; Glacier NP if you have the time; then the Black Hills and Badlands NP; and then on to Chicago.
You will note that the only city I'm recommending is Portland. That's because the best of what to see between these two cities is in the national parks.
Report Abuse
Thanks will research above and try and map out a rough plan.
Was going to wing it and just get in the car and drive wherever, but reading other threads looks as if it may be very busy at this time so might need to book a few places in advance.
Your input is very much appreciated as have no real idea what I want to do in these 2 weeks.
Have been to the states before many many years ago when I was much younger and a really good bar would have made me happy.
Have matured a bit since then, still enjoy a very nice wine now and then so may try some Californian Red.
Have not been to this area so am really looking forward to getting away and experiencing your wonderful hospitality.

I'm looking at your time allotment: one and half months on the East Coast, 3 days in San Francisco and then about 10/11 days for everything between SF and Chicago? or are you planning on spending a few of those days in Chicago?
It takes about three days just to drive straight from SF to Chicago.
Your schedule really doesn't leave you much time to enjoy even a few places.
Not trying to discourage you, but wouldn't it be better to fly to Chicago from the East Coast? Then fly to whatever destination in the Western States that you choose and do a smaller drive/less time driving around a few great national parks?
Report Abuse
Original plan was to have 2 weeks to drive San Francisco north but have now decided to meet up with friends in Chicago,( where I will stay 4 days but have 14 days to get there).
Not doing 1 1/2 months east coast. Starting in Vegas actually then flying to NYC, doing that with sisters should be a blast. They will return home to Oz after 3 weeks and I stay to enjoy what ever takes my fancy.
Realize there is a lot to see but would like to do as much as I can, assume this will be my last big trip away from home.
I am not much of a planner more "fly by the seat of my pants" type of person, drive somewhere and if I like it stay until I want to move on. As it is summer and holiday season whilst I am in this area I assume this might be a bit difficult. So m trying to get some idea of what to see, do and book before I arrive.
All very daunting!!!
Thanks so much for everyone's thoughts and ideas, if I miss some places I really should see it may be incentive to continue saving and come back.
It has taken me years to save for this so can't see that happening. 3 months is a long time to have off work.

OK, but I'm (and probably others are) still sketchy on your exact itinerary. You are correct that you need to make reservations (far) ahead of time in some places, so it's really not a "wing it" kind of trip.
Not pressing you, but if how wisely you spend your hard-earned and hard-saved dollars is important, then a bit more planning needs to happen to get the best bang for your buck.
If you are starting out in Las Vegas, then that would be the logical place to drive to several of the best national parks in the West, such as Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon as well as getting into the Navajo Nation and visiting Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly. You should allot a minimum of about 10-14 days for this portion, depending on how many places you want to visit. Additionally, returning the car where you picked it up - Las Vegas - will also save you quite a bit of money in drop-off charges. (Some visitors are able to rent a car without those hundreds of dollars in drop-off charges, maybe some other Fodorite can help you out on this).
Next fly to East Coast/Chicago.
Next fly to some part of the West that you want to visit - Yellowstone, Grand Tetons or Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia or California. Rent a car, drive around, return car to same airport.
Lastly, fly to San Francisco, enjoy SF, then fly home.
Once you have an outline of your trip, you can start making reservations at the critical locations.
Good luck on your planning - it's half the fun of travel!

Thanks for the reply, yes just working out winging it maybe not best option on this one!
Really appreciate your input, and if I was tavelling alone for all of my trip things would be very different. I am the lucky one who has 10 weeks of travel whilst others have only 2 or 3.
Hence the west/east/west/east etc
Just to confuse you even further flying home via Hawaii leaving from San Diego.
Am now thinking of going north from San Francisco along coast for 4 nights then head east to YNP and will try to get to black hills and badlands national park also then into Chicago as planned 14 days after I leave San Francisco.
Cheers for everything on Foodors would really be stuck if I had just turned up as originally thought I could.
Planning part fun? Interesting yes fun I am not so sure will keep a very open mind about it though.

On the trails of the past, in search of the future
Today, on the 14th of July, a sea journey dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the exodus of the Russian Army and civilian refugees from the Crimea, started from the Tunisian shore. That event was the tragic end of the Civil war in Russia which followed the Bolshevik coup of 1917. Descendants of the Russian emigrants of the first wave are taking part in the action. This trip into history was organized by the Centre of Russian National Glory and the Foundation of St. Andrew the First-Called, and blessed by Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Turkey, Greece, Tunisia. In 1920 that was the itinerary of the Russian ships hastily leaving the Crimea seized by revolutionaries and the civil war. About 150,000 Russian citizens left Sevastopol at that time and among them world-famous noble Russian families, such as the Trubetskoys, the Chavchavadze, the Narishkins, the Shahovskoys, the Golovins and the Sheremetevs. General Kutepov's Army Corps was stationed on the Gallipoli Peninsula, General Abramov's Donskoy Corps was around Istanbul, General Fostikov's Kubansky Corps was on the island of Lemnos.
The Russian fleet of 35 ships commanded by Admiral Kedrov found its last refuge in Tunisian Bizerte. The participants in the current expedition will go all the way in the reverse order, from Bizerte to Sevastopol, as if bringing back to Russia all those who had to leave it in the past. It was the emigrants' most cherished dream all those years abroad. The idea of this sea journey arose a few years ago, says Alexander Gatilin, the press-secretary of the Foundation of St. Andrew the First-Called and goes on:
"A monument to our compatriots, who had to escape from Sevastopol and spent some time in the Turkish town of Gallipoli, was unveiled in Turkey in 1921. In the middle of the 20th century that monument was destroyed. In 2008, on the initiative of our Foundation and with the support of the descendants of Russian emigrants, the monument was reconstructed and unveiled. The idea of a sea voyage along the itinerary of the Russian Army in 1920 appeared then."
The participants in the sea voyage are the descendants of Russian emigrants, Russian statesmen and public figures, priests, famous artists and cultural figures. All in all, about 100 people from Russia, Ukraine, France, the USA, Australia and some other countries. We hope to find answers to the questions, important for all the Russian world, says one of the participants in the sea journey, priest Philip Riabikh.
"For the last decades we have been trying to determine what is the new Russia, what ideals it must have, what historical memory we must keep and pass to our posterity.
Today it is very important for Russians to remember the patriotism of the first Russian emigrants and their high ideals which can serve as an example of boundless love for the Motherland and which can help to form a vision of Russia's future," he added.
During short stops in the ports of call, where emigration points were located in the past, the participants in the expedition will be visiting Russian cemeteries and churches. The journey will end in Sevastopol on the 25th of July.

Seating Location in Large Lectures: Are Seating Preferences or Location Related to Course Performance?
Using data on individuals taking principles of economics courses in large lecture rooms, the authors investigate whether a student's seating preference is related to success in the classroom. They find that individuals who prefer to sit near the front of the room have a higher probability of receiving As, whereas those who prefer the back have a higher probability of receiving Ds and Fs. A preference for sitting in the back, regardless whether one did so, increased the probability of receiving a D or F by 23 percentage points. Students unable to sit in their preferred locations and forced forward tend to receive higher grades, despite their preferences for back seats. Seating preferences and final seat location may be separate factors affecting grade performance. How instructors should teach large lectures is unclear. Developing seating distribution that addresses learning needs may impose high opportunity costs on students who have reasons unrelated to learning for their seating choices.
