INDIANAPOLIS - It should be obvious that the Final Four experience isn't the same for all four coaches who have survived and advanced to this point in the season. Their backgrounds are different and so are their philosophies and personalities.
But sometimes location, stereotypes and attitudes can define that experience. The open practice day at Lucas Oil Stadium on Friday certainly confirmed that.
Consider what the day was like for Butler coach Brad Stevens, the fresh-faced Wonder Boy of this coaching quartet. The Bulldogs are the hometown heroes, the unlikely entry in this Final Four, playing in a football stadium just six miles from their campus. Indy has gone gaga over Butler, pulling out the Jimmy Chitwood comparisons from "Hoosiers" and opening up Hinkle Fieldhouse like a 24-hour house of worship.
The Bulldogs were the first team to practice Friday and they were greeted by a standing ovation from around 25,000 fans. By the time their hour-long workout was complete, the lower bowl with a capacity of 29,000 was almost full. During his official interview session with the media, Stevens was asked to explain the bus ride to the stadium.
"My first thought was 'How in the heck are we going to get to Lucas Oil Stadium?' " Stevens said. "The cars were lined up, people were waling in the streets. We got a couple of scowls and bad looks from Michigan State and Duke fans. Other than that, it was all cheering and happy."
Then consider the day's events for coach Mike Krzyzewski, who has Duke in the Final Four for the 11th time. In case you are wondering, that ties for the second-most appearances in NCAA history. It also comprises one-third of Stevens' entire life. He's only 33.
One of the themes during this NCAA tournament has focused on the perception that Duke was given an easy path to Indianapolis. That leads to stories on how much America loves to hate Duke. The Indianapolis Star decided to examine that angle in its Friday's editions. The headline read "Boo Devils." A photo of Krzyzewski suggested he plays the role of Darth Vader, coach of the Evil Empire.
And that was the tame stuff. Early editions of the Star turned that photo into an illustration, including blue ink-pen additions to Krzyzewski that included horns, glasses, a curly mustache, glasses, unflattering moles and a target on his forehead. The illustration was pulled from the newspapers' later editions.
Krzyzewski didn't bring the matter up but he was asked about it during his time on the podium Friday. He had seen it. At first, he said, he thought somebody had "doodled" on his edition.
"That can't be," he said. "How could a newspaper do that? ... It was kind of juvenile. Not kind of, it was just juvenile. You, know my seven grandkids didn't enjoy looking at it. 'That's not Papi.' It is what it is."
Duke haters will take that response and turn it against Coach K. There's nothing he can do about it at this point. Winning — or losing — in Indy isn't going to change the fact that the Blue Devils have become college basketball's version of the Yankees. And here, they are certainly villains to all the Butler fans.
"If we're going to be despised or hated by anybody because we go to school and we want to win ... you know what, that's your problem," Krzyzewski said. "If you don't like it, keep drawing pictures, you know, just keep drawing pictures. Try to do them a little better than that, though."
The coaches are the stars of this Final Four, so it's interesting to compare and contrast them. Krzyzewski, with three NCAA championships and 75 NCAA tournament wins (most ever), could be likened to an old wizard here. He views everything through eyeglasses of experience. He'll never win as many titles as UCLA coach John Wooden, the Wizard of Westwood, but he might be more Yoda than the Darth Vader depiction from the Indianapolis Star.
"He's probably, I would guess, the most successful coach in the history of the NCAA tournament in terms of longevity and keeping things going," West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. "You can't be considered one of the them until you really are one of them."
Huggins has become a low talker, the type of guest who would be ostracized on a Seinfeld episode. This is his first Final Four since 1992 when he was with Cincinnati. He has virtually reinvented himself this month, showing a softer side and allowing himself to have tears when West Virginia won the Big East tournament.
If there are fans watching Saturday's semifinal between West Virginia and Duke and they haven't seen Huggins in a while, they might be confused by him and his team's image. The Mountaineers aren't playing in their hometown but they've got the entire state of West Virginia singing along to "Country Roads."
John Denver would be proud.
"I don't think I'm a whole lot different," Huggins said, comparing himself to the 1992 Huggy. "Obviously I'm older. Hopefully as you get older and you experience a lot of things, you get smarter.
"I told our guys when I came in here [in 2007] that we were going to win the national championship. That's what we want to do."
Then there's Michigan State's Tom Izzo, in the Final Four for the sixth time in 12 years with the Spartans. He can give his career a different level of validation with a second NCAA championship. He may have the most to gain here, but he still carries himself with so much humility.
"It's easier for me because I've had someone to look at and how he's done it," Izzo said of Krzyzewski. "I've read his books and watched him. I think what's most incredible is he's done it in recruiting, he's done it on the court, he's done it in the classroom, he's done it with class.
"I can only say that I feel very fortunate and lucky that we've gone to the six. Some of it's been with good teams. Some of it's we've gotten lucky in the tournament."
It's enough to make you wonder if Izzo, Huggins and Krzyzewski envy Stevens. The Butler coach has to face Izzo on Saturday. If the Bulldogs when that one, then it would Stevens vs. Huggy or Coach K. But don't expect Stevens to look rattled. He's always calm, cool and collected — and so damn young looking.
Stevens was asked Friday if he stays as calm inside as he looks outside. He was asked where the calmness comes from. He talked about returning from the recruiting period in July two years ago. His flight from Orlando encountered a great deal of turbulence.
"We were probably on [the plane] with 30 kids who had all been to Disney World," Stevens said. "I swear to you, 20 of them just raised theirs hands in the air and screamed like they were on a rollercoaster. It was a quick reminder to me that attitude is everything, outlook is everything and move on to the next play. Every time I've hit turbulence since then, I've been pretty excited."
"When I first got the job at Butler, one of the best pieces of advice I got was from Sean Miller, who now is the head coach at Arizona. He said it's hard when you take over a program that has always been successful because you're always thinking about ways that is has to be done. He said, 'The most important thing you can do is be yourself.'
"So, I am who I am. My age is what it is. My age has no factor on how our team plays. My job is just to try to get them to play as well as we can."
Pretty wise advice from the Boy Wonder. It's enough to make you think he's been here before.

Khan Academy Will Be Ready For Its Close-Up In Idaho
January 3rd, 2013 01:20 View Comments
theodp writes "Education officials with Northwest Nazarene University and the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation say they are arranging to have Khan Academy classes tested in about two dozen public schools next fall in Idaho, where state law now requires high school students to take online courses for two of their 47 graduation credits. 'This is the first time Khan Academy is partnering to tackle the math education of an entire state,' said Khan Academy's Maureen Suhendra. Alas, the Idaho Press-Tribune reports (alas, behind a paywall) that next fall would be too late for film director and producer Davis Guggenheim (Waiting for Superman, An Inconvenient Truth), who will be in Idaho in January filming The Great Teacher Project, a documentary which will highlight positives of education, like the Khan Academy pilot in Idaho. Not to worry. For the film, a few teachers will implement Khan Academy in day-to-day teaching starting in January, before the entire pilot program launches in fall 2013."

Taken an hour ago, right after the tornado siren had quieted down. I still can't believe the size of the hailstones around here. (If that skirt looks crappy it's because I made it myself).
I was reading in the sunshine earlier, and left my coffee cup out. It caught about an inch and a half of rainwater. I think my evening plans are off now :/
I have a big post about films and videogames cooking, but it is still a mess. It may yet emerge. Til then, enjoy the weather.

Alana Wase
Class of 2006
Major/Minor: Environmental Studies, French Studies
Alana Wase, a 2006 graduate of Washington College, who double majored in French Studies and Environmental Studies is enrolled at the Francis King Carey School of Law (University of Maryland) seeking a Juris Doctorate.
Alana is specializing in environmental law and has a particular interest in energy law. This school year she will participate in the Environmental Law Clinic, working on several environmental suits, most notably the Clean Water Act case targeting Perdue and pollution to the Chesapeake Bay. Alana is a member of the Maryland Law Review and the Maryland Environmental Law Society. In the 2012 summer she interned at the Maryland Public Service Commission, the State agency responsible for regulating Maryland's utilities and implementing state laws on energy efficiency and renewable energy (EmPower Maryland and the Maryland Renewable Portfolio Standard).
Prior to attending law school, Alana worked for three and a half years at the Maryland Chapter of the Sierra Club, the nation's oldest and largest environmental organization. At the Sierra Club she focused primarily on statewide energy campaigns. Her favorite accomplishment was working to help pass the Global Warming Solutions Act, requiring Maryland to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2020.
Alana got her start in the environmental field while attending Washington College as President of the Student Environmental Alliance. She led the student group in mobilizing the community to protect Unicorn Lake, a nearby tributary of the Chesapeake Bay which was in danger due to a proposal to build a landfill in close proximity to the pristine water source. After a three year effort, the area was permanently protected via legislation.
After graduation and before working for the Sierra Club, Alana spent a year teaching English in the north of France at the Université D'Artois.

Cater Society Of Junior Fellows Research
In June of 2005, I was able to go abroad to Tanzania through Washington College's summer course and Cater Society of Junior Fellows grant money to get a much closer look at the environmental, social, and economic issues that the country is facing.
The trip included visiting local villages and discussing with different Masaai tribes, (transitional and traditional), visiting two health clinics (traditional medicine and a western clinic), and several schools both public and private. We also spent a week on a safari first hand seeing the tourism industry and the environmental concerns that are associated with ecotourism and game hunting. While there I focused my study on the state of the education system in Tanzania.
The country has extremely high rates of student enrollment as their public school system has very few fees, however after looking closer, it was very apparent that this did not represent the quality of the education. Instead, the education system, from its lack of funding is overloaded with students, deprived of resources such as books, desks, chalkboards, and even teachers. This was an amazing experience for me to begin to understand how the majority of the world lives.

Associated Press CHICAGO - Drew Peterson's defense lawyers called an ethics teacher and even trial spectator to the stand during an offbeat hearing Tuesday as they sought to persuade a judge to grant the former suburban Chicago police officer a new murder trial.
The spectacle was in many ways a continuation of public feud between Peterson's current legal team and his former lead attorney. The current lawyers claim former lead trial counsel Joel Brodsky botched the 2012 trial at which Peterson was found guilty of killing his third wife.
If Will County Judge Edward Burmila rejects the motion for a retrial, he has said he would move on to Peterson's sentencing.
Peterson, 59, faces a maximum 60-year prison term for murdering Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub with a gash on her head. As a convicted felon, he had to enter court Tuesday in blue prison garb and shackles - a stark contrast from the business suits the then-suspect was allowed to don for his trial.
Among those the defense called to the stand was a law school teacher who testified that Brodsky had violated ethical norms by allegedly signing a contract to split future book and movie proceeds with Peterson years before the case even went to trial.
'It seems that this is over the line,' Clifford Scott-Rudnick, a professor at Chicago's John Marshall Law School told the judge.
Cutting business deals with clients, he said, raises the danger that lawyers will act in their own business interest rather than in their client's legal interest.
The bitter acrimony between a former and a current attorney is the latest twist in the peculiar saga of the former Bolingbrook police sergeant, who gained notoriety after his much younger fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, vanished in 2007.
The feud escalated earlier this month when Brodsky filed a defamation lawsuit against colleague-turned-nemesis Steve Greenberg, which claims Greenberg became 'irrationally fixated and obsessed with destroying Brodsky' and held Brodsky up to 'great public scorn, hatred, contempt (and) ridicule.'
In an open letter to Brodsky in September, Greenberg accused him of 'single-handedly' losing the trial, adding he 'wafted the greatest case by ignorance, obduracy and ineptitude.'
As Tuesday's hearing began, Burmila said he was obliged to ask Peterson directly if he had full confidence in the current attorneys sitting next him, including Greenberg.
'Yes, your honor,' Peterson promptly replied.
Apparently satisfied with that answer, Burmila said proceedings could continue with Greenberg acting as Peterson's lead attorney.
The dispute is in sharp contrast to the beginning of Peterson's 2012 trial, the limelight-seeking defense team faced the media horde together. Several times, they joked that Stacy Peterson - who authorities presume is dead but whose body was never found - could show up any day to take the stand.
Among the accusations against Brodsky, chief is that he was so bent on publicizing himself that he pressed Peterson into a damaging pretrial media blitz.
One decision that backfired at trial was calling divorce lawyer Harry Smith to be a witness for the defense. Greenberg says that was Brodsky's decision; Brodsky says all the defense lawyers agreed on it.
Under questioning by Brodsky, Smith told jurors Stacy Peterson had asked him a question before she vanished: Could she squeeze more money out of her husband in divorce proceedings if she threatened to tell police that he murdered Savio three years earlier?
Brodsky hoped Smith's testimony that Stacy Peterson allegedly sought to extort her husband would dent the credibility of statements she made to others that Drew Peterson threatened to kill her.
Savio's death was initially deemed an accident, a freak slip in the tub. But after Stacy Peterson vanished, Savio's body was re-examined and her death was reclassified as a homicide.
During Smith's testimony, Brodsky repeatedly stressed how Stacy Peterson seemed to sincerely believe her husband had killed Savio. Some jurors later said that Smith's testimony persuaded them to convict Drew Peterson.
Judges rarely grant retrials. When they do, it is usually because an attorney didn't make a certain argument or call a witness who might have exonerated a defendant, explained Kathleen Zellner, another Chicago-area defense attorney.
'It's usually not for something an attorney did but for what they did not do,' she said.
But this case has been full of oddities since first making headlines in 2007. Peterson's trial was the first in Illinois history where prosecutors built their case on hearsay, thanks to a new law tailored specifically for the case, dubbed 'Drew's Law.'

An island nation you can't find on a map can threaten your retirement savings. Your health insurer could refuse to pay your medical bills by arguing you're covered only if someone drops a baby grand piano on your head, not an upright. On any given day, a celebrity might say mean things to a singer you support through text messaging.
It's a worrisome world.
Language is even worse. Every time you speak, you open yourself up to knuckle-rapping from self-appointed experts.
So today I figured I'd offer a little reprieve. Here's a writing matter you probably needn't worry about at all: initials.
Pretty much everyone who ever applied for a job paused while typing a resume and wondered: Do I have a B.A. in English or a BA? An M.A. or an MA? Is it Ph.D. or PhD?
Initials of proper names are confusing, too. Is it RJ Smith, R.J. Smith or even R. J. Smith, with spaces between the letters?
And would you put periods in the initials of South Carolina, intelligence quotient, Alcoholics Anonymous, American Automobile Assn., compact disc, the United States or the United States of America?
Type any of these initials with our without periods and you'll see that they look pretty good either way, offering no clue as to whether you should use periods. It's enough to give you heart palpitations.
But that clueless feeling is actually a good thing: All the alternative ways for punctuating abbreviations look correct because they are correct. There's no single right way to do it, not even in professional publishing.
Editing styles often have specific instructions for academic degrees. Associated Press style says to use periods. "She has her M.A. and her Ph.D." But Chicago style, which book editors follow, prefers no periods in academic degrees. She has her MA and her PhD.
In most contexts, you can use either style. Just be consistent. And either way, you don't need an apostrophe to form the plural. She has two MAs and two PhDs. She has two M.A.s and two Ph.D.s.
But those are just the special rules for degrees. There are different rules for initials representing people's names. Whenever letters stand in for part of a person's name, periods are used. But whether to space them depends on editing style. News style uses no spaces. H.L. Mencken. W.E.B. Du Bois. Book style puts a space between the letters. H. L. Mencken. W. E. B. Du Bois. But both styles agree that letters representing whole names, such as JFK and FDR, take no periods or spaces.
Proper names for anything other than people have their own rules too. Book style eschews periods in these abbreviations. They moved to the US. He lives in LA and the UK.
AP style likes periods in two-letter abbreviations. They moved to the U.S. He lives in L.A. and the U.K. But three-letter initialisms do not take periods. USA. CIA. FBI. But there are plenty of quirky exceptions, like AA in news style and the option in book style to add periods in U.S. and D.C.
States follow yet another set of rules. In addresses, Chicago style prefers two-letter postal abbreviations, which contain no periods. SC, ND, KY, CA. Associated Press style follows a system of abbreviations that take periods and that don't always reduce states to two letters: S.C., N.D., Ky. and Calif.
Rules for generic nouns, like compact disc, grade-point average, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and intelligence quotient are even more erratic. But in most cases, no periods are used. IQ. CT scan. CD. DVR. GPA.
No one expects the average person to know all these rules. And no one will notice if you don't follow them precisely. So this is one would-be worry you don't have to worry about at all.

From in or about 1997 until terminated by WorldCom, Inc. ("WorldCom") on August 28, 2002, Yates served as WorldCom's Director of General Accounting.
2. WorldCom was at all relevant times a Georgia corporation with principal offices in Clinton, Mississippi. It provided a broad range of communications services to both U.S. and non-U.S. based businesses and consumers. At all relevant times, WorldCom's common stock was registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and traded on the Nasdaq National Market System.
3. On November 14, 2002, a judgment was entered against Yates, by consent, permanently enjoining him from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5 and 13b2-1 thereunder, and aiding and abetting violations of Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder, in a civil action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Buford Yates, Jr., Civil Action Number 02 CV 7958 (JSR). Yates was also barred from serving as an officer or director of any issuer that has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or that is required to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The determination of the amount of civil penalties, if any, and/or disgorgement, if any, to be paid by Yates in that civil action will be made at a later date.2
4. The Commission's complaint alleged, among other things, the following: at the direction of WorldCom senior management, Yates and other WorldCom employees caused WorldCom to overstate materially its earnings in contravention of generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for at least seven successive fiscal quarters, from as early as October 2000 through April 2002. In the third and fourth quarters of 2000, at the direction of WorldCom senior management, Yates and others improperly decreased reserves and line costs by corresponding amounts to overstate pre-tax earnings by $828 million and at least $407 million in the respective quarters. Then, from the first quarter 2001 through the first quarter 2002, at the direction of WorldCom senior management, Yates and others improperly capitalized line costs to overstate pre-tax earnings by approximately $3.8 billion. Yates knew, or was reckless in not knowing, that these entries were made without supporting documentation, were not in conformity with GAAP, were not disclosed to the investing public, and were designed to allow WorldCom to appear to meet Wall Street analysts' quarterly earnings estimates.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest to impose the sanction agreed to in Yates' Offer.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, effective immediately, that Yates is suspended from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant.
By the Commission.
Jonathan G. Katz
| Rule 102(e)(3)(i) provides, in relevant part, that:
The Commission, with due regard to the public interest and without preliminary hearing, may, by order, . . . suspend from appearing or practicing before it any . . . accountant . . . who has been by name . . . permanently enjoined by any court of competent jurisdiction, by reason of his or her misconduct in an action brought by the Commission, from violating or aiding and abetting the violation of any provision of the Federal securities laws or of the rules and regulations thereunder.
|On October 7, 2002, in an action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Yates pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, in violation of 18 USC §371, and one count of securities fraud, in violation of 15 USC §78j(b), and 17 CFR 240.10b-5.

Does this ugly red bar look familiar?
When I logged on after 4.0.6 my usually pretty WoW graphics were dull and blurry. I was unable to set my graphics to anything above fair, while before the patch they were at ultra. If you're having this same issue, try updating your video drivers (especially if you have an Nvidia card – they can be updated here), it worked for me.

STOCKTON - Christopher Smith didn't own too much more than a metal collapsible camping stool when he moved into his midtown apartment about a year ago.
STOCKTON - Christopher Smith didn't own too much more than a metal collapsible camping stool when he moved into his midtown apartment about a year ago.
When the Marine veteran was homeless, he'd sometimes stay in the garages of homes where he would find work. Somebody was giving away the stool, so he took it with him, even when the only place he had to sleep was a park in north Stockton.
Today, he can sit on a deep-cushioned couch in his own apartment while he listens to music or watches television on his days off from work.
But he held onto that knee-high stool as a reminder of the three years of homelessness that followed a bout with cancer and the breakup of his marriage.
"That's going to be something that will be with me the rest of my life," he said of the stool. It represents a low point in his life, which is now heading in the right direction, he said.
"I thought I was over. I thought I was through," the 53-year-old Smith said. "I am a lot happier with myself, right now."
His housing became possible through a voucher program specifically for veterans through a partnership with the San Joaquin Housing Authority and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. There aren't enough vouchers for every veteran in San Joaquin County who needs housing, officials said. But the number of vouchers grew by 25 in 2013, part of efforts under way in recent years to eliminate homelessness among veterans. It has brought emergency beds for veterans at Stockton Shelter for the Homeless and the Lodi Salvation Army's Hope Harbor shelter and transitional housing for veterans at Dignity's Alcove in Stockton.
Private organizations get involved, too. Smith doesn't have to sit on his camping stool because of the donation of the couch and other furniture from Disabled American Veterans Charities. The home, itself, was built by Villa Real Inc. The nonprofit group is a subsidiary of the Housing Authority, the public agency issuing the housing vouchers for veterans.
"The Housing Authority is honored to help veterans who served our country," said Barbara Kauss, executive director of the agency.
Vouchers are issued by the Housing Authority after the homeless veteran is referred there by the VA. There are 110 vouchers issued to the Housing Authority, but they get snapped up quickly. Of that total, 99 have been issued, and most of those recipients are already in homes. Of the 11 remaining, 10 already have VA referrals. That leaves one unspoken-for voucher.
These housing vouchers provide more than just housing. They come with counseling and other services provided through the VA.
Veterans set goals - from finding a job, to going back to school, to reuniting with families - that the services can help them attain, Kate Butler, a VA social worker, said in a telephone interview monitored by a VA public information officer. But it starts with housing, she said. "It's a little hard to get life going when you're living on the street."
Smith sees it that way, too. "Since I got my own place, it was motivation enough to get off my butt and find work," he said.
He's building up a nest egg working at Pacific Car Wash. Next, he'd like to be able to move into a larger apartment so he would have a place for his 15-year-old son to stay.
Smith said he fell into help getting off the streets by chance. He heard about the housing program over a game of dominoes with an Army veteran also in the program.
There are veterans around Stockton who are homeless and don't know how to get help, Smith said. He hopes they will find it.
"Just open your ears and your eyes and go for it."

The Foundation is proud to announce that Dr. Leslie Aiello, president of the Wenner-Gren Foundation, was awarded the 2006 Huxley Memorial Medal. This award is the highest honor at the disposal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, in the United Kingdom and was instituted in 1900 in memory of Thomas Henry Huxley. The medal is awarded annually, by ballot of the Council, to a scientist, British or foreign, distinguished in any field of anthropological research in the widest sense. Recent recipients of the award include Marilyn Strathern (2004), Gannanath Obeyesekere (2003) and Jane Goodall (2002) among others.
Dr. Aiello gave the Huxley Memorial Lecture: "Diet, Energy and Human Evolution" on Thursday the 7th December 2006, 6.15 p.m. in the Stevenson Lecture Theatre, British Museum, Great Russell Street, London WC1.
The lecture expands on the work taken place over the 10 years since the publication of the Expensive Tissue Hypothesis (ETH) (Aiello & Wheeler, 1995, Current Anthropology 36:199-221), which suggested that there was an inverse relationship between the sizes and energetic costs of the brain and the digestive system. A larger brain would require a correspondingly smaller digestive system in order to maintain a BMR (basal metabolic rate) that was not excessively elevated over Kleiber expectations and a smaller digestive system would only be possible with the adoption of a higher quality diet. The original ETH posited that a relatively small gut and implied dietary change were already features of Homo ergaster (c.a. 1.6 mya). It also suggested that the inverse relationship between brain size and gut size was a feature not only of humans but also of the other primates.
The past decade has seen considerable research into both hominin diet and energetics. Evidence from the archaeological context, dentition, postcranial proportions and morphology, carnivore guild turnover and hominin tapeworm genetics are consistent with the incorporation of increased amounts of animal-derived food in the diet of early members of the genus Homo. Research testing the broader implications of the ETH has demonstrated a robust positive correlation between dietary quality and brain size in primates but has also suggested that dietary change may not have been the sole factor that balances the energetic expense of the hominin large brain. How valid is the ETH today? In the context of this new research, the applicability of the ETH to hominin evolution is reassessed.

Md. calls gun law challenge too late, too little
HAGERSTOWN, Md. – The state of Maryland says gun advocates waited too long to challenge tougher firearm regulations set to take effect Tuesday.
Attorney General Doug Gansler asked a federal judge in Baltimore on Monday to deny their request for an order blocking enforcement of the law.
A collection of gun shops, firearm associations and private citizens filed two lawsuits late last week challenging different aspects of the law on constitutional grounds. A court hearing on the first case is set for Tuesday.
Gansler says the plaintiffs sat on their claimed rights for six months after Gov. Martin O'Malley signed the measure. He says the motion should be denied for that reason.
Gansler also says the plaintiffs haven't shown that the challenge is likely to succeed, or that implementation will cause irreparable harm.

WASHINGTON — First-person accounts from the Civil War are being brought to life in a new blog that will feature the voices of Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant and others.
The Library of Congress announced Tuesday that it will launch the blog from diaries, letters and other writings pulled from its collection. It will chronicle the sacrifices and accomplishments of both North and South to accompany a major new exhibit, "The Civil War in America."
The blog and exhibit both open Nov. 12.
More than 40 people will share Civil War stories in their own words. "Bloggers" will include Clara Barton, Stonewall Jackson and Walt Whitman. There will also be lesser-known figures, including Elizabeth Keckley, a former slave who became a dressmaker and confidante for Mary Todd Lincoln.

Don Packer, who owned a car dealership on Brand Boulevard for many years, was well known not just for his cars, but for his philanthropy.
"He was an icon around Glendale," said Jarrett Anderson, who was associated with him professionally and personally for many years. Anderson has recently provided Special Collections with significant material regarding the Packer family's history in Glendale.
Packer came here as a young boy in 1911, along with his parents and sister, seeking relief from the weather in their home town of Aberdeen, Wash.
"They wanted a change of scenery because we lived in the wettest city in the United States," Packer told the Glendale News-Press in a story published on Nov. 16, 1984.
Glendale was very small at the time, he added. But the best thing about the place was the weather. "You could enjoy sports every day of the year."
The elder Packer bought a tract of land at 362 Riverdale Drive and built a home for his family. In 1916, he took over the Studebaker agency on Brand.
Meanwhile, Don Packer enrolled in the newly built Glendale Union High School on Harvard Street and, after being graduated in 1914, went on to UC Berkeley. In 1917, he enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army. He was sent to Heavy Artillery School at Augers, France, and then joined the Fifty-third R. R. Artillery.
He returned from the war as a second lieutenant and, after he was mustered out of the service in 1919, completed his work at Berkeley, graduating with the class of 1920, according to "History of Glendale and Vicinity" by John Calvin Sherer, published in 1922.
Packer joined the Celite Products Corp., which had quarries and plants in Lompoc. He returned here two years later to join his father in the auto agency. He was married to fellow Glendale Union alumnus Fern Cook.
Packer soon took over his father's business and spent many years in the auto dealership on Brand. When he retired, he turned his skills toward expanding the Glendale Community Foundation.
Through his efforts, the organization increased in size from $25,000 when he came on board to $1 million by 1986, as noted in a 1990-91 foundation newsletter.
Carroll Parcher, then-publisher emeritus of the Glendale News-Press, wrote about Packer in the Nov. 19, 1984 edition.
"The foundation was just one of the countless organizations and causes to which he has devoted his time and apparently endless energy over the years. But it may be the one closest to his heart. For more than 25 years, a good number of those years serving as president, Don has spread the word about the Community Foundation."
That same month, Packer was honored at Pike's Verdugo Oaks Restaurant for his ability to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the foundation, according to another Glendale News-Press columnist, Al Friedenthal, writing in the News-Press on Nov. 6, 1984.
"Packer worked diligently for the foundation for 25 years. His efforts have, in effect, created an annuity for those Glendale organizations providing for the needs of our youth, senior citizens, the infirm, the handicapped and the poor."
Packer died in 1987, at the age of 91, after approximately 75 years in Glendale. After his death, his estate left more than $600,000 to the Community Foundation.
Readers Write: Jim Patric writes that James Cain, in three of his major novels, including "Mildred Pierce," puts Glendale in the story.
In "The Postman Always Rings Twice," the action takes place in a roadside tavern 20 miles from Los Angeles, Patric noted. "When someone gets injured, they take him to a hospital in Glendale. In "Double Indemnity," both the conspiring murderers and the victim live in Glendale. One action scene takes place in Griffith Park. Writers are supposed to write about what they know," Patric wrote, "so I'd bet he lived in Glendale, or possibly near Glendale. Probably hard to check, but I'd be interested to know where he lived.
If you have questions, comments or memories to share, please write to Verdugo Views, c/o News-Press, 221 N. Brand Blvd., 2nd Floor, Glendale, CA 91203. Please include your name, address and phone number.

Will wonders never cease..........
I'm not sure if you can read the sign, but it says FABRIC!!!! Whaaaattttt?????
Our Super Walmart had done away with their fabric section and most all of their sewing supplies. But they're back!!!
I asked the girl at the cutting table when did they put the fabric back in the store. She said about 8 weeks ago! Well that explains it. You see I never go to the back of the store anymore, well, because there is no reason to. The girl said that a lot of people complained. So it's back. I don't buy a lot of fabric from Walmart, but I do sometimes pick up sewing notions, ribbons, buttons and such. However, their fabric was nice. Not a huge selection, but it felt really good. Good enough for me to pick up a couple of pieces :-)
You know you can never have enough polka dots!
And one other little tidbit. As I was talking with my BFF recently, I mentioned that I had used my JoAnn's 50% off coupon at Michael's. She did not know that you could do that. Now I'm not sure if applies to all areas, but Michael's will honor JoAnn's coupons, and JoAnn's will honor Michael's coupons on items they both carry. So check it out!! You may find that those hot little 50% coupons will come in handy one day.

The local WalMart put fabric back in this fall. Not much but enough to make Halloween costumes for the granddaughters. They have a LOT of fleece tho...

I hadn't bought much fabric at Walmart, but occasionally I had come across a very nice piece. Mine doesn't have any now, but I'll check just in case they bring it back. Thanks for the heads up .

I was also surprised to see fabric in my Walmart again...they even had some "charm packs" and "jelly rolls" and some fat quarter sets... and the quality wasn't too bad...I've yet to use them so not sure how they will sew up...
I did buy some lengths of their super flannel for a new design wall..

I haven't seen fabric back at our Walmart but that is pretty interesting. I think it is good for some areas where that is the only fabric a person can buy especially in remote areas.
I did know that about the coupons.

THANK YOU for that Michaels/Joanns tidbit..I did not know. My Joanns is a good way off...but Michaels is closer!!
I had asked our Walmart manager what had happened as ours Fabric Dept. never did close out..he said that they made a HUGE MISTAKE and brought it back to all the Walmarts. I guess the LO$$ was not worth the close out. Yippeee
Oh yes..NEVER enough polka dots.
Have a Great Day

I had the same experience at Walmart recently. I missed the notions too because it is the closest place for me to buy sewing supplies. I will feel the fabric next time.

Sigh! Walmart, Joanns and Michaels - sigh - I miss them - it was fun dropping in to see what they had - they don't exist in Australia and I know we probably have something similar they dont stock exactly the same things or the seasonal things that used to be such a novelty for me! Enjoy!!!

Wow! Like you, I'd stopped going all the way to the back of the store....I guess I'd better see if the one we have (20 miles away) has fabric now! Awesome!
I fussed at them when they quit carrying their budget spools of thread...they were fine for assembly line piecing. Maybe they'll bring those back, too!

Now I have a reason to go to Wal-mart. Much closer for zippers and thread and emergency fabric. Thanks for the fabric alert.

Yep! I stumbled across the fabric section back in Walmart just a couple of weeks ago - thrilled to see it again! Not a huge selection of fabric, by any means - but really - just the right mix. I always could find what I needed - and less expensive, too. Loved the remnants. Welcome back fabric!

Here, Michael's won't take coupons on books or magazines. They never took out all the fabric...but, had very little for a long time. Now, they are putting more back. =)

I'd heard Walmart was bringing fabric back. I haven't been to my local store in a while.
I knew about the Joann's and Michael's coupons but Hobby Lobby doesn't honor competitor's coupons. Such a shame.

Our Wal-Mart has fabric again too! I was so happy to see it. Quilt shops aren't close to me anymore so it is great to pick up background and backing fabrics there and buy my stash fabrics at quilt shops a few times a year. Keep quilting : )

YAY! We are fortunate to have fabrics in our 2 closest Walmarts but the other nicest 2 do not have fabrics, unless they have it now and I hadn't noticed! I will have to tell my mother to look in her local WM because that's the only place she has to buy fabric. She will be thrilled!
I did not know about the coupons either! Thanks a mil!!

Beat-making rogue Flying Lotus follows up his brain-rattling previous album, Cosmogramma, with a more whimsical, yet no less challenging album.
In fact, the Los Angeles producer - real name Steven Ellison, who is also part of the Coltrane jazz family - recorded the album as a "collage of mystical states, dreams, sleep and lullabies".
So while not as dark and nerve-shattering as Cosmogramma it's still an intriguing experimental mix of everything from jazz and psychedelia to hip-hop and short, sharp outbreaks of drum 'n' bass.
And when it's all put together with the sort of wild ambition Flying Lotus possesses, he creates something outrageously unique.
Like the beat freak whimsy of See Thru To U with Erykah Badu and the weird and warped dance-floor groove of The Nightcaller, to the lilting jazz noodlings of Only If You Wanna, which gives way to the frenetic thuds and eeriness of Electric Candyman, featuring Radiohead's Thom Yorke - who, oddly enough, sounds the most normal he's ever sounded.
Until the Quiet Comes is impressive and the sort of album that you listen to and can't help but marvel at the brilliant-yet-mad musical mind that dreamed it up.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: Another masterpiece of sound engineering.
Buy this album here.

Aromatase Inhibitors or Tamoxifen
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am post-menopausal and have been prescribed an aromatase inhibitor. Why am I receiving this when it seems like tamoxifen is the more common prescription? How can I deal with the hot flashes caused by this drug?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
Tamoxifen is the drug of choice for premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. This is based on how it works. The main source of estrogen in premenopausal women is the ovaries. Tamoxifen is an antiestrogen or estrogen blocker, which works by blocking estrogen receptors in breast tissue. While estrogen may not actually cause breast cancer, it is necessary in order for the cancer to grow in some breast cancers. With estrogen blocked, the cancer cells that feed off estrogen may not be able to survive.
The aromatase inhibitors go a step further, by preventing the estrogen from being produced. In women who have gone through menopause, estrogen is mainly produced by converting androgens (sex hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogens. An enzyme called aromatase is responsible for this conversion. Aromatase inhibitors block this conversion, leading to less estrogen in the body. These drugs have been found to be more effective at preventing cancer recurrence in post menopausal women.
As for dealing with the side effects of hot flashes, see this previous question.


text: 26 Jun 2014 13:30 Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, hosted a global airline safety workshop on behalf of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) this week. The three-day event concluded at the new Etihad Airways Centre in Abu Dhabi today, with officials from IATA and a number of its airline members discussing the importance of moving toward an Integrated Management System (IMS) to enhance the safety standards of airlines. Introducing such a system would help to ensure compliance with global regulations, including the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) annexes, while also consolidating key airline management systems to create a single platform that covers areas such as health and safety, security, environment and personnel. Paolo La Cava, Etihad Airways Vice President Corporate Safety and Quality, said: "Safety is our number one priority. We are delighted to host this workshop on behalf of IATA, and pleased to have been part of the productive discussions with our airline colleagues from across the world. "The global airline industry is making considerable progress in establishing an Integrated Management System, which will enhance risk mitigation and the assessment of operational hazards. It will also consolidate existing systems such as the Safety Management System (SMS) and Quality Management System (QMS), leading to a reduction in duplication and costs, an increase in efficiency and profitability, and the elimination of any conflicting responsibilities."

As a Java developer using Eclipse, I occasionally made use of the Tasks view to keep track of things that required attention. Eclipse scans the Java source code and automatically populates the Tasks view for comments that start with "TODO:" or "FIXME:".
For example, the following Java code
// TODO: need comments here public class Foo { public void test() { // FIXME: should not be using sysout for logging! System.out.println("asdas"); } }
…shows as follows in the Tasks view:
When the TODO: and FIXME: comments are removed from Foo.java, the corresponding entries in the Tasks view disappear. I find it's a nice mechanism to keep track of things right in the source code, while it's fresh on my mind, to ensure they don't fall through the cracks.
Naturally, I wondered if Tasks could be used in DDE with XPages, and turns-out they can! The XSP editor is driven by a combination of Structured Text Editor and XML Editor preferences in DDE, and Structured Text Editors can optionally recognize tasks for the Tasks view. This is disabled by default, so we just need to enable it in Preferences.
Just as tasks are recognized in Java in comments, tasks are recognized in xsp files in XML comments.
…shows as follows:
The XPages tasks show alongside the Java tasks, and the high-priority tasks are sorted first. Double-clicking a task will take you to where the comment is in the source.
To show the Tasks view, go to Windows –> Show Eclipse Views –> Other. Then select Tasks from the list.

With decades of engine building experience this guy has built it all
With an experience base derived from years of working with leading engine builders and race teams, Jay Dickens opened his own shop (Dickens Racing Engines) in 1994. This Mississippi-based facility now offers a range of engines although, as you'll discover in the ensuing interview, Jay has currently settled into the dirt, short-track niche, avoiding "pavement" racing, and finding that dirt racing is where he wants to focus his present attention and further development of a successful engine building business. He offers some insightful perspectives and reasons for his thoughts that we think you'll find of interest.
How healthy do you believe the current engine builder market is right now and are you experiencing growth or just maintaining market share? Upon what do you base your response?
Well, first of all, our new motor sales are up. Since about 2011, we've seen continued growth from demand of new engines. However, the rebuilds are way down, I think because our customers are running their engines longer and also because of the crate motor thing. I believe crate racing has put a dampener on local Saturday night racing. As such, it's hurt open motor Late Model racing quite a bit at the local tracks. I believe the problem stems from the fact crate motors are something different. It's also a bad chemistry caused by a terrible economy, and it's been this way for the last four or five years. Money is tight. So, people will say they can go buy a crate engine for whatever they cost, five- or six-thousand bucks. Then, of course, you've got to spend another two or three thousand to get them where you can crank 'em. But it sounds appealing. It's sort of a misconceived deal, if you see what I mean.
Actually, I'm not an advocate of crate racing. I don't like it, although I do think it's good for the young kids that want to get into racing, like Super Late Models. However, they don't need an 850-horse engine to learn to race. But what's happened is that a race series was developed and a lot of money thrown out there and it's some of the good Late Model drivers have gone over to that area. Some people think this is great, but they're not looking at the big picture. They've managed to throw some of the engine builders under the bus in the process. But you know, the cost of the cars is high, too. And they come to the racetracks with $300,000 trucks, you know? Realistically, we came up with an engine package for the Saturday Night racer, kinda like a "spec" engine for around twelve- to fifteen-thousand dollars that'll run all season. When you compare the cost-per-lap versus a crate engine, it's as economical as a crate engine. In fact, sometimes it's more cost effective because those crate engines break down some of the time, you know?
Overall, I guess you could say the engine building business is a lot like racing; it's up and down right now. I mean friends of mine who are builders are all experiencing the same sort of condition that I am. It's hard to explain, but it comes down to the fact our profit margins are really low when you compare them to what they were in the past.
Are you seeing new technologies appearing in the parts that you use and, if so or not, how do you account for this?
My belief is that technology continues to change because it's an on-going process. We're all parts manufacturers and engine builders, looking for ways to improve. We've come to a point where we've improved in so many areas of the engines we build that about the only area where we are still finding gains is in the valve train. As a result, we're constantly spending time on the Spintron, trying to gain an edge on our competitors. From the crankshafts to the blocks to the pistons, all those parts we've about maxed out the areas where we can get an advantage.
The only other thing is, although we've all got to do R&D to a certain extent, we're somewhat budget limited. Like with the Cup teams, we don't have millions of dollars budgeted for R&D. So sometimes, technology may not be good, if you know what I mean. We've got to draw a line somewhere because we don't need or want an F1 engine in our cars.
In order to meet the power levels required in the engines you build or rebuild, is it necessary to modify the parts you use or do they pretty much work right out of the box, so to speak?
We kinda massage all the parts we get directly from parts manufacturers. We're custom engine builders and are often required to do that. But on the other hand, say compared to 15 years ago, the parts that we build for our high-end customers, like cylinder blocks, pistons, and connecting rods are all built to our specifications. They're not like the parts that you generally buy. Each engine builder has his own recipe when it comes to the way he builds engines. Like when compared to the parts we used, for example, back in the old 23-degree cylinder head world we'd just pick up the phone and maybe call J&E and order a set of pistons they had in stock. We don't do that today for the high-end engines. Instead, the parts we get for these would maybe have a shorter wristpin that we requested, or a smaller diameter pin or additional gas ports, that sort of specialization. And it's all custom, based on things we learned over time.
Parts manufacturers have no problem working like this, but the downfall is these are all custom parts and require time to produce. Like with the new motors we build, we have to have parts ordered three months in advance of when we need them.
What role do you you see EFI having in the various circle track applications, both now and going forward?
This sorta goes back to the question of how much technology do we need. For example, in the Dirt Modified, short-track type of racing that we do, we have no engine rules. So, 98 percent of the time, we've got more engine than we have racetracks to hold 'em. There's no question that the EFI stuff is definitely a step ahead. It'll allow us to individually tune cylinders and build a better piece that will, obviously, make a little more power and it's going to be more efficient. But, is it going to cost more? Yes, it will. Is this good? I don't think so. Not in today's economy. Plus, I don't know if we need it right now. I also don't know what it would take to outfit a car with EFI, compared to a carburetor. But its' coming. It's just a matter of when. I'm for it, but I'm worried about the cost.
As more is learned about the pros and cons of using E85, in the place of conventional racing gasoline, do your forecast its increased use or not?
I guess so. We would have to make some changes to use it right now. Especially if EFI was in place, but with some minor adjustments in compression ratio, I think it's doable. It's not unlike back in the days when we ran alcohol, so we could adjust for it.
Given the current status of circle track racing and the role your business plays in that community, what are your plans for the next five or more years?
You know, it's really pretty hard to say right now. I'd say for the next year or so we'll be working along the same lines we are today. But somebody, and maybe it's us, will need to jump off and begin experimenting with the new technologies we've been discussing. The only negative thing I see is the money part of the deal. I've not yet done enough research to know what it's going to cost to outfit cars with these new technologies, but on the face of it, I'm concerned about the costs involved. It's like anything else, if that's the approach racers want to take, they'll find a way to pay for it.
What rules or rules changes to you think would benefit circle track racing the most?
As far as engines are concerned, realistically, there's not much that can be done without getting into a lengthy technical deal that involves more money. Simple things like requiring cars to be a little heavier to make them safer, is a possibility. Tire limitations would help reduce the amount of power required to be competitive, and that would cut back on engine costs. I'd just like to see costs kept in line. We want to see the sport continue to thrive, love what we do, been fairly successful and have some really good guys in the shop.

Onion routing is a routing technology used to ensure the privacy of its users, where each node only has partial information about the route of the packets. A service sponsored by the Electronic Frontier Foundation called Tor is an implementation of this concept. Tor is a design of randomly selected, encrypted tunnels that acts as a proxy for client applications, such as web browsers. The honeynet was able to identify only 40 (.01%) attacks making use of the Tor service.
Of the seven unique attacks using Tor, there were only two worth noting. The others simply reached the honeypot and took no further action. The first attack traversed four honeypots, and attempted nothing more malicious than exploring the filesystems and attempting to create a hidden directory. The attacker discovered the honeypots using Google, using the query "inurl:phpshell.php filetype:php". The second attack only touched one honeypot on the honeynet, and attempted to retrieve a 'config.php' file. Applications written in PHP commonly include a 'config.php' file, which usually contains passwords or sensitive information regarding the application. In the case of PHPShell, the config.php file includes usernames and passwords as well
as some other configuration information.
