The Tennessee State University women's basketball team will return to action for the second time in three days with a match-up against cross-town rival Belmont University on Saturday. Game time for the OVC contest is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in the Gentry Center.
Tennessee State's two-game winning streak was snapped on Thursday when the Lady Tigers fell to Tennessee Tech at home. The loss was TSU's third of the season at home and dropped the team to 2-2 in the OVC.
TSU is averaging 66.6 points per outing while shooting 36.0 percent from the field. Chelsea Hudson leads the team in scoring with 16.6 points per game while Rachel Allen (12.0 ppg) and I'mani Davis (6.8 ppg) round out the top scorers for TSU. The Lady Tigers lead the OVC in steals and
The Lady Tigers, under second year head coach Larry Joe Inman, returned four letterwinners from last year's squad and added eight newcomers, including seven freshmen, to the roster. TSU finished last season with an overall record of 13-15 and a 9-7 conference mark. In an Ohio Valley Conference preseason poll that was released in October, TSU was predicted to finish fifth in the East Division standings.
Tennessee State got a career-high 25 points out of sophomore Brianna Lawrence but it wasn't enough as TSU fell to Tennessee Tech, 77-68, Thursday night in the Gentry Center. TSU only committed 14 turnovers but was outrebounded, 43-35, in the game. In addition to Lawrence's career-high, Hudson recorded a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds while Rachel Allen added 11 points and three steals.
Belmont (7-12, 4-2 OVC) has won four of its last five contests, including the most recent victory over Murray State. The Bruins defeated the Racers, 67-57, on in the Curb Event Center. BU's two losses were to SIUE and UTM.
In the win over Murray State, Katie Carroll led Belmont with 15 points while Jordyn Luffman (13) and Taylor Mills (10) also scored in double-figures. Frankie Joubran hauled in a game-high 17 rebounds.
Overall, Belmont is led in scoring by Jordyn Luffman who averages 14.7 points per game. Katie Carroll (8.0 ppg) and Taylor Mills (7.3 ppg) round out the top scorers for BU.
As a team, the Bruins average, 65.3 points per game while shooting 39.1 percent from the field and 31.5 percent from long range.
TSU vs. BELMONT
TSU will match-up with Tennessee Tech for the 32nd time in the series history with Belmont holding a, 23-8, lead. Last season, the teams split as each squad won on its home court. TSU fell to BU 66-54 in the Curb Event Center while the Lady Tigers edged the Bruins nearly a month later in the Gentry Center.
Updates on the game will be available throughout the game on the official twitter page via @TSU_Tigers. Live stats and video will also be available for the games. Links can be found on tsutigers.com under the schedule.

Product Description
If any town is in need of a miracle, it's Woodhaven, a tiny village hanging on the edge of the American frontier. It's nearly Christmas, but it's hardly a season of celebration. Work is scarce, money is tight, love is lagging, and spirits are down ... but maybe the Miracle Maker can turn things around! The town anxiously waits for someone magnificent who can change their lives. But the ragged traveler who appears isn't what anyone expects: except for one small, silent boy and a precocious little girl. It seems this man can barely take care of himself, let alone fulfill the dreams of others. But miracles can come in all shapes and sizes: and sometimes from unexpected places.

David & Goliath Create Insanely Great California Lottery Spot
David & Goliath have come up with a quick witted answer to the boring genre of lottery advertising. Granted, they still rely on the tried and true method of showing what sudden riches bring to a person but they've done it in such a way that it's quirky, fun and just strange enough to stray outside the norm. And we very much like outside the norm.
As the ad begins, we see a normal man walking down the street with his normal dog. But once he realizes he's won California's Strike It RIch, things change dramatically. And very quickly. And very strangely. There is so much rich detail within the last :20 of this commercial that you'll have to watch it several time to truly appreciate it.
Our favorite moment? Meeting the man's transformed dog, now called Cornelius and inventor of long division.

Jonathan Toews scored the game-winner early in the third period and Corey Crawford had 24 saves to help Chicago match the best start in franchise history with a 3-2 victory Saturday night over the Columbus Blue Jackets, running the Blackhawks' record to 5-0-0.
The only other time the Blackhawks began a season 5-0-0 was 1971-72.
Patrick Kane had two assists for the Blackhawks, who have a 40-23-7 record all-time against the Blue Jackets. Crawford, who won for the fourth time this season, was solid all night but particularly when the Blackhawks were a man down.
Steve Mason held his own with 21 saves for the Blue Jackets, who lost their third in a row.

Supplemental Instruction
SI Leaders
SI Sessions
Title V Home
Program Overview
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic assistance program that utilizes peer-assisted study sessions. SI sessions are regularly-scheduled, informal review sessions in which students compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, and predict test items. Students learn how to integrate course content and study skills while working together. The sessions are facilitated by "SI leaders," students who have previously done well in the course and who attend all class lectures, take notes, and act as model students.
1. To increase retention within targeted historically difficult courses
2. To improve student grades in targeted historically difficult courses
3. To increase the graduation rates of students
SI is a "free service" offered to all students in a targeted course. SI is a non-remedial approach to learning as the program targets high-risk courses rather than high-risk students. All students are encouraged to attend SI sessions if it is offered in a course you are enrolled, as it is a voluntary program. Students with varying levels of academic preparedness and diverse ethnicities participate. There is no remedial stigma attached to SI since the program targets high-risk courses rather than high-risk students.

(aleonar – (tr.v.) (Amer.) to stir up, agitate (generally for fun or through enthusiasm).
Three Generations
Besides the Aleonars of Carcar, other Aleonars have communicated to me from Leyte and Cavite-Laguna. A cursory look at Mayurga records had the spelling Allonar for the family but the one I had contact with already spelt her name Aleonar. The oldest Aleonar she could trace (her grandfather) could not be found in my Carcar records. Meanwhile, the Cavite-Laguna Aleonars' oldest person is estimated to have been born around 1880s-90s, yet he too does not appear in my Carcar records. But the door remains open, hope springs eternal, but future research would bear out whether these families sprang from Carcar or else the surname was distributed in those places, too, independent of Carcar.
I have, however, been informed that there are Aleonars in Hawaii, translocating there during the sacada recruitment years. I have a hunch a certain branch very closely related to my own (as in that of my grandfather's older half-brother) is in Hawaii. I wish one of them will read this, or somebody will buzz them to this site and me.
The first person in my Aleonar tree was born in Bohol (town not mentioned). He had apparently died already before the Claveria decree and it was only his children who received the surname. In her Burial, his wife was listed as Dalmacia Aleonar but a record or two called her Dalmacia Campugan. A similar case happened for the Sasuman family of Sangat where the father was also deceased and it was the mother who was called Sasuman, making it also quite difficult to determine what the mother's actual family itself could have been.
(6-Sep-2012) I found a record for what may be the only girl of the children of starting person Vidal Ygnacio. the record was for the burial in 24-jan-1829 of MARIA MAGDALENA. the record said she was a parvula (child), daughter of Francisco Bidal [sic] and Ma. Damacia [sic], of the barangay of don andres alexo. If we place her in the second generation, i would put her as the 8th child, between Pedro Aleonar (d. 1864) and Martin Albarado (b. 1830).
In the 2010 Voters list for Carcar, there are 172 voters surnamed Aleonar, the 39th most numerous surname in the list.
I am a great-grandson of Pedro (II) Aleonar, whose signature appears below, and Paula Vergara Tigley. I hope they can grin–aleonado–at what I am doing.

COLUMBUS: A condemned child killer who wants to donate a kidney to his mother before his execution is requesting another reprieve after the state rejected his first organ donation request.
Attorneys for the inmate, Ronald Phillips of Akron, want the execution delayed until 2016. They say by then, Phillips� 66-year-old mother either will achieve necessary weight loss to safely undergo transplant surgery or likely will succumb to complications of kidney disease.
Phillips� latest request to Gov. John Kasich�s office was filed this month. A spokesman for Kasich confirmed Friday that it was received but didn�t comment further.
Phillips, 40, is out of appeals. He was sentenced to die for the rape and death of Sheila Marie Evans, his girlfriend�s 3-year-old daughter, in Akron in 1993.
Lisa Lagos, one of Phillips� attorneys, said they are hopeful the state will work with them on the reprieve request.
�We all have the same goal, just trying to get the best outcome,� Lagos said. �You know, this execution is going to happen no matter what. ... As the governor said: If a life can be saved, that should be allowed to happen.�
The prison system rejected the last-minute organ donation request Phillips made in November, but Kasich delayed his execution until July 2 to give the state time to see whether it was possible to comply.
The state concluded it wasn�t feasible, saying Phillips didn�t have time to undergo surgery and recuperate by the execution. The prisons department said it has an obligation to make sure he is healthy, despite the fact he would be put to death.
Phillips� execution was rescheduled this week to Sept. 18 after a judge ordered a 2�-month moratorium on Ohio executions to allow time for arguments over new lethal injection procedures. Lagos said the date change doesn�t affect the reprieve request.
She said Phillips� mother must lose weight before she could safely have transplant surgery and has started the process of pursuing bariatric surgery to achieve that. The requested delay would allow time for that surgery, the transplant surgery and Phillips� recovery, Lagos said.
Kasich previously denied an organ donation request by condemned inmate Dennis McGuire on grounds that McGuire couldn�t identify a relative who would receive his organs, as required under prison policy. He was executed Jan. 16 and repeatedly gasped during the 26 minutes it took him to die.
The state subsequently decided to increase dosages of its lethal injection drugs to allay concerns but maintains that the process was constitutional and that McGuire didn�t experience pain or distress.

Single-line technology
Rail lubrication through lubrication holes for trams and metros
The wheel sensor in the track is counting the wheels and is connected to the integrated controller of the pump. Once the desired number of wheels got counted, the pump starts to run and feeds the dividers in the track with lubricant.
Each metering device meters the incoming lubricant and supplies a precise small amount of lubricant to each lubrication channel.
In case of tracks embedded in the street, the metering devices are protected by steel boxes.

When this series first started, my answer to why I am an atheist was pretty simple: I read the Bible. It's a quick 2 second answer I can give any time. And so I have, at least occasionally getting a laugh in return. But after several weeks of reading others' responses to the question, and reflecting on root causes, I've come to realize that my reasons are much more complex. Ultimately, however, I'd have to say that I'm an atheist because of my father.
My father was an avid reader. I learned from his example that reading was a good thing. Like most boys, I wanted to be like my dad, a reader too. When I started school, I picked up reading rather quickly and read everything I could get my hands on. Our den had a wall of books from floor to ceiling. My father told my brother and me that any book on the shelf that we could reach without a chair was ours to read. Once my mother was out of earshot, he added that he didn't consider the step-stool to be a chair. One of the books on the upper shelf was "The Passover Plot", from which I learned that messiahs were a-plenty in Jesus's time.
My father was an FBI agent and later a private investigator. He taught my brother and me not to believe everything we're told or even see for ourselves – he knew a few magic tricks he could use to demonstrate. He encouraged us to ask questions, and never said we were too young, or that we wouldn't understand. He was comfortable saying "I don't know," usually followed by, "let's find out." And when he was busy working on the car, or building a shed, or whatever, he found ways appropriate to our abilities that we could help, even if in the long run, that made the job take a little longer. He didn't get angry with me when I took things apart and couldn't put them back together again (OK, so he did encourage me to experiment on things that were already broken – he was a practical man, after all).
I grew up Lutheran, and while my father was active in the congregation, he wasn't exactly dogmatic about the religious aspects. We were encouraged to be active members of the congregation as well, so I took my confirmation classes seriously in order to become an adult member of the congregation, just like my dad. Our final weekend of classes, my classmates and I, our pastor and a lay-minister spent on a retreat. I was convinced by the end of that retreat that the ministry was my calling. And like any budding minister I felt it was my duty to read and understand the Bible in its entirety rather than only the parts chosen for me by my Sunday school teachers. The inconsistencies, compounded with the politics I began to be exposed to as an adult member of the congregation were enough to engender a distrust in organized religion. But I still clung to arguments from design and complexity as a rationale for believing in a god, if not the one I was raised with.
We didn't have a lot of money, but enough for me to go to an excellent state college in Texas (yes, they do exist, for now anyway) as long as I lived at home and worked to pay for books. I could probably have taken out student loans, but having grown up during in the depression, my father was averse to more debt than absolutely necessary. So, live at home I did. During my undergraduate years, my father and I would have long talks about anything: philosophy, politics, mathematics, physics, computers, women, beer (absolutely anything). We didn't always agree on everything – he was convinced that the polygraph was a useful and reliable tool, for one – but he always let me have my say. He let me teach him the things I was studying, at least to the extent he was capable of following. Doing so helped me to organize my own thoughts not just on what I was studying, but what I believed. He was particularly entertained by a paper I wrote on taking up heresy as a hobby for my freshman comp. class. I wish I still had that paper.
My second sophomore semester I took a course titled "Controversial Sciences". We used textbooks written by Martin Gardner and James Randi. It was a class in skepticism, but I guess it needed a catchier title – it was a state school after all. By sheer coincidence, that same semester some magazine (I honestly don't remember if it was OMNI, Discover or Scientific American – I devoured all three) published an article about Benoit Mandelbrot, and I discovered the colorful, awe-inspiring world of Mandelbrot and Julia sets. I learned that apparent complexity can come from rules that were rather simple. I read Einstein and Lewis Thomas. I watched Cosmos and read "Broca's Brain". My final arguments for believing in a god that created the universe fell away. The voice of my internal dialog whispered to me "god is not necessary to explain any of this – there is no god."
I'm somewhat ashamed of myself that when it came time to come out to my parents, I chickened out mid-sentence and simply pondered "what if I'm not Christian enough?" My father, I knew, would have accepted it just fine, but I was worried about how my mother would take it. Several years later he actually came out to my wife on Christmas Eve while I escorted my mother to candlelight services – he had gotten another of his mysterious Christmas Eve headaches that he seemed to have acquired about the time I graduated from college, and my wife being a life-long open atheist was all too happy to stay home and take care of him.
I was later outed by the local newspaper when they published a photograph of my wife and me enjoying an Independence Day celebration with a hundred or so other atheists. The title under the photograph was "Atheists Need Fellowship, Too". That article was syndicated worldwide, and found its way to my mother's aunt in Seattle, from there to my grandmother in Portland, back to my mother here in Fort Worth. Grandma was cool. Mom was not. She doesn't talk about it. Dad thought it was funny.
Eight years ago in my father's hospital room, he was visited by a minister from a local hospice. He told her he still considered himself a Christian, but that he had doubts. It's the only time I ever felt he was being dishonest (OK, maybe when we played poker, but that's kind of the point then, isn't it?), but I understood his reasons. Mom was in the room too, and in Texas, a secular hospice is about as rare as snow in July. He died two weeks later, at home where he really wanted to be.
I'm an atheist because I had an awesome father.

Last week I provided a challenge that required you to come up with a solution for fast clearing of a table that has an indexed view defined on it, without dropping the indexed view. You can find the puzzle details here. Thanks to all those who sent solutions; there were a few interesting suggestions. The first who came up with the solution I was aiming at was Peter Larsson (Peso), as usual. :)
In SQL Server 2005 and on, even when you don't explicitly partition your tables and indexes, they are internally always partitioned. It's just that without explicit partitioning each table or index has only one partition. SQL Server 2008 enhances partitioning support by introducing a feature called partition-aligned indexed views, which means that the query processor automatically maintains an indexed view created on a partitioned table when a new partition is switched in. When you switch a partition in or out of a partitioned table, you are no longer required to drop the index on the view and re-create it later.
Back to our puzzle, the new feature allows very fast clearing of a table that has an indexed view on it by creating a staging table (call it T1_Stage) with the same structure as our T1 table, switching T1 to T1_Stage, and then dropping T1_Stage. All this can be done without dropping the view or even the index on it. Here's the code to achieve the task:
CREATE TABLE dbo.T1_STAGE
col1 INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
col2 INT NOT NULL,
col3 NUMERIC(12, 2) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE dbo.T1 SWITCH TO dbo.T1_STAGE;
DROP TABLE dbo.T1_STAGE;

Full siblings (same mother and father) will share about 50% of their autosomal DNA.
My sister and I thought that we look and act so much alike that we would test within the higher range for siblings.
We were surprised to discover that we share less than 50% of our DNA.
|23andMe DNA Relatives function
You inherit half your DNA from each parent. Full siblings will match within the 50% range.
The blue P indicates a relation through my father.
The purple M indicates a relation through my mother.
Hence, my sister has both designations.
(You can only use this function if you have a parent in the database.)
My father's siblings also submitted their DNA. They match one another from a low of 43.6% to a high of 55.9%
And my paternal grandmother's cousins submitted their DNA. They are brothers. Their match is exactly 50%.
|23andMe DNA Relatives function
This sibling duo shares exactly the predicted amount of identical DNA.
Remember that you have two sides to your chromosomes: one from your father, the other from your mother. Current DNA testing does not tell us which side of the chromosome holds the match to a DNA relative. (One of the reasons why you need to test cousins from different branches of your tree.) When you compare full siblings, you can see the areas where they inherited the same DNA from both parents.
The sky blue areas represent where my sister and I inherited identical DNA from one parent, but not the other.
The dark blue areas represent points where both of us inherited the same DNA from both parents.
Half siblings will match on only one side of the chromosome- the one from the parent in common.
Half sibling comparison
The sky blue areas represent shared DNA from one parent.
No dark blue/completely identical areas because they are related on one side only.
Next up: I will show you the cousin to cousin comparisons and demonstrate how quickly and randomly our ancestors' DNA breaks into smaller, indistinguishable segments.

Tour d'Afrique
Most people who visit Kenya explore the country in a Jeep, but the hills, mountains and coastal roads are actually perfect for cycling.
Stage 1: The Savanna
A gray giant lumbers across the sandy track ahead of us. We cycle warily on, but when the massive bull elephant suddenly stops and turns to stare, we get pedaling. We're in Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, a three hours' drive from the capital, Nairobi. Two rangers have been shadowing us in a Jeep for the past few hours, although they seemed to have fallen asleep. The driver now leaps into action, accelerates, and shouts to us as he pulls past: "Stay behind the car, no one overtakes me!" We seek cover behind the car and pass the elephant in a huddle – with me making myself as small as possible on my mountain bike.
People mostly visit Kenya to see animals – as many and as big as possible – and also to see new landscapes. Most travel in off-road vehicles. Few people know that you can also explore the most interesting parts of the country just as safely on a bike, and get much closer, too. Cycling comes with the additional challenge of rough terrain, bush and dirt roads that are perfect for mountain biking. I want to ride across the Kenyan savanna, into the mountains and down to the coast, where the beaches are said to be some of the best in all of East Africa. Who should I ride with? Only the best, naturally: David Kinjah, 45. A legend in Kenya, he made cycling big in his country and for a time, trained British cyclist Christopher Froome, winner of the Tour de France in 2013, 2015 and 2016.
Our little group – that's Kinjah, another guide and myself – has now pushed past the elephant. I turn one last time to see him staring after us. We high-five each other and move on.
Kinjah was raised in Mombasa. As a kid, he used to ride down to the beach on an old BMX bike to play soccer with the other boys. At some point, he realized that he loved cycling more than soccer and began tinkering with his bicycle and training over increasingly long distances. At 22, he entered the first races in Kenya, winning most of them. He earned himself a place on the national team, and was the only black contestant in the 2000 World Championship in France. First, bike manufacturer Shimano gave him a sponsorship deal, then the Italian team Index–Alexia Alluminio signed him up as the first black professional cyclist. They called him the Black Lion, leone nero, in Italy, but after a year in Europe he returned to Kenya to promote children's competitive cycling, which he had started doing long before.
Kinjah clearly recalls the day he took on Chris Froome, whom he describes him as a child of Nairobi with British roots, a white babyface with a tough character and a great ambition: to cycle professionally and someday ride in the Tour de France. Froome has so far won the Tour de France three times and now lives in South Africa.
Fifteen years ago, Kinjah founded the Safari Simbaz Trust in his backyard bicycle workshop. It aims to raise funds to give children from underpriviliged backgrounds a perspective through sport. Kinjah trains his Safari Simbaz – travel lions – as athletes, and as bicycle mechanics. He and his young team sometimes lead cycle tours of Kenya, including one for a cycling club from Stavanger, Norway
Stage 2: The Mountains
Two dozen mountain bikes stand upended outside a guesthouse in the village of Ndunyu Njeru outside Aberdare National Park. The mountain range, some 150 kilometers from Ol Pejeta, is the country's third-highest elevation after Mount Kenya and a real challenge even for the fittest cyclists. The Safari Simbaz give their bikes a final once-over. Are the gears properly adjusted? Have the chains been oiled? Every last detail must be just right for the climb to almost 3200 meters.
Most of the Norwegians are still eating breakfast, but a few are already clicking down the stairs in their cycling shoes, nervous as young racehorses. We assemble in the yard, where Kinjah describes the terrain we will encounter and outlines his rules. On no account may we overtake the Jeep ahead of us, which the rangers will use to drive away buffalo and elephants if need be.
When Kinjah gives the starting signal, 21 Norwegian tourists and four Kenyan guides swing onto their saddles and are off. I pedal after them. Kilometer after kilometer of grueling ascents in increasingly rarefied mountain air, and despite my best efforts, the group leaves me far behind. I encounter the odd lanky village boy on a "black mamba," one of those cobbled-together cycles Kenyans use to transport crates of chickens and sacks of flour. I never imagined racing on one of those contraptions to be possible until a guy overtook me, effortlessly and, of course, without gears, while I pedaled furiously on the last sprocket.
In Kenya, the young middle class is discovering the sport
As in many African countries, it's poor people who ride bicycles in Kenya – only walking is cheaper. But now that the sport is trending, the young middle class has also taken to the saddle. Cyclists meet on the weekend in Nairobi to ride out together to the Ngong Hills (famous from Out of Africa). They ride dusty trails through the bush in the Great Rift Valley and on the slopes of Mount Kenya. It is chiefly thanks to Kinjah that the sport is now able to overcome cultural, but above all social, differences. His credo: "Sport builds self-confidence. It's what you achieve that counts, not where you come from."
While I am toiling uphill to the national park, the Norwegians are over the hills and far away. Small wonder – their country consists almost entirely of mountains! To add insult to injury, it is now bucketing down, so I hitch a ride in one of the Jeeps – the advantage being that you don't get dirty. When the cyclists roll into the valley hours later, they have acquired a patina of mud, but they are all grinning. "It was the world's most brilliant descent," the Norwegians rave – they should know. Now I do feel a bit envious after all …
Stage 3: The Coast
The coastal route, almost 700 kilometers south of the Aberdare Mountains, was supposed to be the easiest part of the tour, I thought: a blue-and-white Mark Rothko painting with palms, beaches, people in colorful robes, and exotic spices on street corners. That's exactly how it is, and everything would be just perfect if it weren't the dry season and the temperatures weren't showing 40 degrees Celsius in the shade – and the sun weren't blazing down onto my crash helmet.
It was still pleasantly cool on Wasini Island just before seven in the morning. The night before, Kinjah and I – the Norwegians are long gone – had crossed over to the coral island close to the Tanzanian border, far from the tourist beaches, to spend the night. The island is too small for cycling and the coral too jagged for our tires, but there are few better spots on the Kenyan coast than Wasini for experiencing something of the Swahili culture.
Feisal Mohamed Abdalla comes from a family of Swahili people whose culture originated with the Arab traders who landed on the East African coast in the 8th century C.E. Many of them mixed with the native Bantu tribes and became the ancestors of the present-day Swahilis. Abdalla and his German wife run a simple lodge on the rocks. He also takes divers and snorkelers to underwater parks in his motorized dow and sometimes, like now, ferries mountain bikers to the mainland. When we heave our bikes off the boat in Shimoni at around half past eight, the air is already so sultry you could cut it with a knife. We pedal up the south coast toward Diani in the north, a bathing spot that's famous for its white beaches. Riding over shimmering asphalt, through palm groves and mangrove forests, we come to tiny fishing villages and pass by those gigantic baobab trees with the weird branches. Legend has it that God planted them upside down for a joke.
It's early afternoon and I feel I'm coming down with heat stroke, when Kinjah suddenly turns off the main path. We ride down a sandy lane that winds through bushes as tall as ourselves, and finally arrive at a wooden gate. He dismounts and hammers on the planks. A watchman greets us with a friendly smile and the words "Karibu peponi" – Welcome to paradise. Tucked away in coastal woodland, the Kinondo Kwetu beach resort is truly idyllic. We lounge on sun beds in the shade of the coconut palms, our exertions forgotten, as a waiter serves us ice-cold passion-fruit juice. We've certainly earned this!

The aim of this research was to discover how far gorillas were capable of reproducing certain manual activities used by children in play, typical at one and a half or two years of age. We started from the idea that as the gorillas had been raised by human nurses and had a close relationship with them, they would be capable of showing abilities which are more psychological than anatomical to determine whether there is any proximity, or bridge, between the animal and human species.
Specialists today believe that frequent contact with human beings, through education or apprenticeship, brings out capacities in these anthropoids which would otherwise not appear.
Thus, although the results obtained in this research are rather poor, the possibility should not be ruled out that with education, training and more intense communication, gorillas and chimpanzees might manage to develop more sophisticated abilities.
One could say that the important thing is to learn about human beings from the analysis of how anthropoids are capable of developing.

2014 Toyota Corolla Review
Toyota's Corolla LE Eco Is Fuel-Conscious (and Full of Surprises)
Toyota's Corolla LE Eco Is Fuel-Conscious (and Full of Surprises)
In ancient Rome, the term "corolla" referred to a ceremonial crown symbolizing victory. It seems that the 2014 Toyota Corolla line is finally living up to its namesake with a new model that gives environmentally mindful drivers a reason to celebrate. The Corolla LE Eco, a surprisingly fast, fuel-efficient car that boasts 42 miles per gallon on the highway, is the newest addition to the Corolla line, which received a major style revamp and some power-boosting engine tweaking for 2014.
Sexy may not be what comes to mind when one thinks of sedans, but that's not why car buyers are interested in the reliable Corolla. Safety, reliability, fuel economy, and affordability are why consumers turn to sedans — but the Corolla LE Eco goes above and beyond that with a new powerful engine under the traditionally even-tempered "Eco" name.
Millenials are Toyota's target audience, but is a snazzy new exterior and high-tech packages enough to convince Gen Y that the 11th-generation Corolla has shed its mild-mannered reputation in favor of a new seductive, modern facade? We took the 2014 Corolla LE Eco for a test drive on the streets of Seattle, WA, and broke down our thoughts on the compact car feature-by-feature in the gallery.

Last weekend I was in Prague, the largest city and the capital of the Czech Republic. Even though it was not a photography trip, I did take my compact Nikon P7000 with me and managed to shoot some images...
The one above is of the Petrin View Tower, a mini 70m Eiffel Tower which was completed in 1891. The tower is about 4 to 5 times smaller than its big sister in Paris, but the fact that it is built on one of the highest hills around the city, compensates. After paying a nominal fee of about 3 Euros one starts climbing the 300 steps. Once up there the 360 degree view is great!

NASHVILLE, TN - Family Research Council (FRC) hosted a news conference at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) annual convention in Nashville, Tennessee today to discuss the need for conscience protections for religious business owners and individuals from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate on abortion-causing drugs, sterilizations and contraceptives. FRC President Tony Perkins and FRC Executive Vice President Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin were joined by Janet Parshall, radio host for Moody Radio, Bishop Harry Jackson, Jr. of Hope Christian Church and Dr. Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), to discuss the HHS mandate that employers cover abortion-causing drugs, sterilizations and contraceptives in their health insurance plans, even if those employers have religious convictions against such coverage.
During the press conference, Perkins expressed support for the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (HCCRA), introduced yesterday by U.S. Rep. Diane Black (R-TN) to protect the religious liberties of anyone who purchases health insurance, including non-profits, businesses and individuals, as well as providing greater protections for health care workers who refuse to participate in abortion. Rep. Black joined the press conference at NRB by video.
In a letter earlier this week FRC and other organizations urged U.S. House of Representatives leaders to include conscience protection language in the Continuing Resolution (CR) currently before Congress.
Of the conscience bill and the CR, Perkins said:
"We are disappointed that the Health Care Conscience Rights Act wasn't placed in the Continuing Resolution, but we continue to urge Members to push for its inclusion. This bill's language must be included in must-pass legislation to ensure that the First Amendment-guaranteed religious liberties of all Americans are protected. Failure to include it will result in thousands of religious organizations being forced to comply or face severe fines for maintaining their religious convictions."

Federal Funding Will Provide Significant Boost for Job Training in Bridgeport, Conn. (CT)
(Boston, Mass. – Aug. 26, 2011) –
A team of federal agencies today highlighted coordinated work that
is ongoing in Bridgeport, Conn. which is helping to train workers
and create jobs that will be the foundation for economic recovery
in the City.
Under the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, President Obama directed the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Dept. of Transportation (DOT) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to work closely together to create more livable cities. In Bridgeport, these three agencies are also working closely with the Dept. of Labor (DOL) who is also a key stakeholder and partner in creating sustainable communities.
Dept. of Transportation (DOT)
Bridgeport was awarded an $11 million grant under the US DOT's TIGER Grant program (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery). This grant will help prepare the harbor-side of Steel Pointe for development by funding infrastructure improvements, and will be matched by an $18 million contribution by developer Bridgeport Landing LLC. The project will improve roadways along Route 130 and Route 127 within the City of Bridgeport, and will include roadway reconstruction, traffic signal upgrades, separation/reduction of site drainage, and inclusion of bikeways, enhanced landscaping, and pedestrian connections to the surrounding neighborhoods, Bridgeport's Downtown Intermodal Transportation Center, and the public water front.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has provided Bridgeport with part of a $3.5 million Sustainable Communities grant, which will pay for a feasibility study into a potential new train station on the East Side and benefit the New York City to New Haven corridor. HUD also coordinates an ongoing weatherization program underway in Bridgeport at the Fireside Apartment complex. This work is being done by DOL YouthBuild students as apart of their weatherization training program. The WorkPlace, Inc. also has students involved in this project.
"Here in Bridgeport we see just how powerful partnerships at the federal, state and local level can be in creating jobs, saving energy and linking transportation to neighborhoods. HUD is proud to be a partner in building strong, sustainable communities throughout New England," said Barbara Fields, HUD New England Regional Administrator.
Department of Labor (DOL)
The Dept. of Labor recently announced $11.3 million in green jobs grants for Connecticut. The funding is authorized under the Workforce Investment Act and awarded as part of DOL's Green Jobs Innovation Fund. DOL is also funding and organizing a connection with Youth Build which is doing energy efficiency upgrade work at Fireside, 248-units of single story, wood frame multi-unit buildings in Bridgeport.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
EPA announced a grant of $300,000 to WorkPlace Inc., which is working to train workers in Bridgeport. The WorkPlace plans to train 51 students, place 43 graduates in environmental jobs, and track graduates for two years. The training program will consist of a three-week, 126-hour core training and one of two additional training clusters (either on brownfields and environmental remediation, including lead and asbestos abatement, or on solid waste management, including deconstruction, debris collection, recycling and leadership courses). Green Team. Students will be recruited from unemployed, low-income, dislocated worker, or in-need residents of Bridgeport. The WorkPlace will work with local environmental employers and trade unions to place graduates in environmental jobs. The funding, from EPA's Brownfields program, is part of an ongoing EPA effort to help create good-paying, skilled green jobs in New England. EPA's Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Grant Program helps train skilled workers in local communities who can provide ongoing benefits to their cities and towns by creating businesses and protecting human health and the environment.
"Promoting green job creation is an important element of a growing economy, especially in tough economic times like these," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "This EPA Brownfield Job Training grant will help Bridgeport build a strong and sustainable economy."
"I'd like to thank President Obama, our Congressional delegation and all of the federal agencies that have collaborated to bring thousands of dollars in funding to our City that will help provide training and create jobs for our residents. With your help, and our City's commitment to sustainability, we will drive Bridgeport forward as a hub for the new 'green' economy," said City of Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch.
"This funding will help ensure that employers have a trained, local workforce. We are grateful to the EPA for this opportunity and look forward to continued collaboration with the City of Bridgeport and community organizations throughout the region," said Joe Carbone, President & CEO of The WorkPlace, Inc.

Morgan Packard & Joshue Ott
Les aventures dans le cinema live
Shaun Ellis - 18 mai 2008
by Shaun Ellis
Over the course of three years, several live performances and consistent refinement between man, machine and homemade software, New York's classically trained Morgan Packard and visual-artist Joshue Ott have honed their captivating and ambitious audio-visual project.
Sonically speaking Packard's creations are a combination of organic sampling and custom software manipulation, touching on everything from micro-house to textural ambient and minimal techno, contributing to a sound that is utterly modern but beholden to no one. Joshue Ott's own software programming endeavours resulted in superDraw, a programme that augments simple line drawings in startlingly unique ways. With the subdued use of colour amidst stark black and white, Ott's visual trickery complements Packard's music perfectly.
Morgan Packard's sublime album Airships Fill the Sky, which features a 37-minute audio-visual collaboration with Joshue Ott called Unsimulatable, is indicative of the sort of experimentation that sets this pair apart from the pack, but if you really want to get what their collaboration is about, you have to experience their performance in the flesh.
In the run up to their MUTEK performance we caught up with Morgan and Joshue to get the lowdown on, among other things, the art of collaboration, the beauty of programming and err... synesthesia.
You're friends, collaborators and neighbours. Which came first and how has your professional relationship developed and evolved into 2008?
JOSH: I think it was neighbors, friends, collaborators? It's all a bit mushy in terms of the sequence of events, but definitely a very natural process of growing together.
MORGAN: We actually met because Josh was creating music for a dance performance my wife was in. Through a wonderfully organic process, we began hanging out just as neighbours with some certain shared quirks, going to each others' parties, showing one another the sorts of things we were interested in and working on. On Josh's part, stuff like experimental films by Canadian animator Norman McClaren, as well as his interactive Flash experiments, explorations of some simple but clever sketchpad ideas. On my part, the work I was doing with Ezekiel Honig, the more recent electronic stuff I'd been inspired by, people like Marc Leclair (aka Akufen) and Ryuichi Kurukawa, as well as some of the finer examples of my first electronic music love, drum & bass music, which I still haven't managed to get Josh to love the way I do.
My wife and I did a few tiny parties in my kitchen where we'd invite friends to do whatever ridiculous, short performance they wanted to share. We covered a lot of ground, everywhere from solo acoustic bass performances, to lighting bananas on fire. Josh would project drawings all over the walls and completely transform the little apartment. We moved from that to a series of monthly events called "Shark Attack", which we organized along with Ezekiel Honig and our friend from our drum & bass days, DJ Clever. We'd invite a range of artists, sometimes electronic, sometimes not (one high point a performance of a piece for string quartet written by a couple of really talented artists from New York's lively new music scene, Judd Greenstein and Anna Clyne). Generally, we tried to create a sort of soft, hypnotic vibe, guided by my and Zeke's music, Josh's mesmerizing visuals, and the guest artists we booked.
Throughout this time, Josh and I were having regular audiovisual jam sessions at each other's houses, locking ourselves in a little room and vibing off each others' work and sharing our approaches to and progress with our respective home-made software. Eventually, we decided to start being a bit more formal about our jamming and try to work on a set piece, with clear sections, synchronizations and structure, and out of that came the Unsimulatable disc packaged with my Airships Fill the Sky album. Recently, I've taken a supporting technical role on a project that Josh has spearheaded, a multi-user version of SuperDraw that can be controlled by audience members using Nintendo Wii controllers. The first public installation of that project was this April at Yuri's night, an event in a giant NASA hanger in the San Francisco area. Ezekiel Honig did some lovely sound for it. It was very different and very interesting, on the same vibe we've all been working around for the past several years.
In general, how do you view the relationship between music and images?
MORGAN: I'm a big believer in the digital music/digital projection combination. My wife has done a lot of modern dance work, and through seeing her perform, I've come to appreciate in a different way the wonderful richness and synergy that you get when you compose across multiple sensory channels. Each aspect of the performance brings life and meaning to the other.
JOSH: I think there's something to say for each separately, but used well the two can be combined with amazing results. I think the idea of "live cinema" and "visual music" both hinge on this, things get interesting when you start mixing sensory input in synesthesia ways, where a sound has a color, and a line has a particular sound. I hold the opinion that combining various art forms can often lead to much more interesting results. That probably started for me in high school when I took an English/History combination class and produced a stop-motion animation piece in lieu of a research paper. I got an A.
Some people argue that a producer sitting or standing behind a laptop is boring. Is this why you incorporate images into your live performances or is it purely for artistic reasons?
MORGAN: This is a funny question! What more compelling artist reason could there be than the fear of creating something boring! As a performer, I want to create a rich and compelling experience for an audience member. I want to transport people, I want people to feel things they've never quite felt before, and I want them to look at the world a bit differently when it's over. These are all formidable challenges, and if the end result of experiencing my performance is boredom, I've failed.
To answer a bit more clearly, I think the idea of sitting in a chair, with my full visual attention directed toward someone fiddling with a laptop on a stage, no matter how good the sound, is a fairly weak performance model. And quite likely boring.
JOSH: Having seen many "boring" performances where the artist could be actually just playing back some pre-recorded track and is actually just checking his email, I think we both want to try to make things interesting for the audience, to give them a reason to be listening or watching a live performance rather than sitting at home listening or watching the same thing. I think a little sprinkling of theater always helps. Incorporating imagery can help to add that, but I also think (and hope) that our imagery and the sound reinforce each other in a way that each becomes meaningless without the other.
What makes you decide to collaborate with someone?
MORGAN: Convenience, fun, friendship, in my experience are the strongest reasons. Of course, there's also the belief that great things often take more than a single person to build and that an isolated artistic mind is a starving artistic mind. I'd like to say that, for me, it's more the second set of loftier reasons, but so far it's really been the first.
JOSH: Some aspect of that person's work should touch some inner part of you. I need to be moved or inspired by some part of what my collaborator does. Morgan's music definitely inspires me, but I also admire the way he works, and the depth that he adds to every piece he makes. He has skills and abilities that seem to compliment my own, and I think we learn from and are inspired by each other.
Do you feel particularly liberated when working with different collaborators?
MORGAN: I'm not so big on artistic liberation. I actually work fairly hard to seek out or build constraints for myself. I would say the magical thing about a successful and close collaboration is not that it frees you, but that the joining of minds creates an entirely new, sometimes quite surprisingly different artistic consciousness, which feels like it has a life of its own, independent of the two collaborators.
JOSH: Sometimes working with a collaborator can allow you to explore aspects of your own work that would otherwise be neglected. At other times it forces you to become aware of flaws or ways that you could do things better or make changes to your working patterns to suit the collaboration. A good collaboration is a mix of both, and hopefully can benefit both artists.
What are your non-musical or non-artistic inspirations?
MORGAN: We both really love the purity, precision, power and pattern-based nature of programming languages. I work with the belief that natural forms are fundamentally more beautiful than those made by people, and have given a bit of thought to what make those forms so pleasing, flocks of birds, and the sound of surf, for example.
JOSH: Ah yes, the beauty of an elegantly written bit of code is definitely an inspiration. Even just the simplicity and beauty of working with numbers, of using and manipulating them to create animation and movement is a pleasure. But it could be argued that code is just another (albeit less recognized) art form.
I have a two-year-old daughter who I am constantly inspired by, not only her constant sense of wonder (which I think is what everyone usually says), but also the way she deals with life. She expresses her emotions easily and instantly. There's something really pure in that, something that is sometimes much more difficult for me to do. Aside from her inspiring temper tantrums another major inspiration for me is traveling. And that includes a long ride to someplace new in my own city, not just international jaunts.
What was the thought process behind Airships Fill the Sky? Was it envisaged as a complete audio/visual project from the outset with an eye on live performance?
MORGAN: It's really two projects. The Unsimulatable DVD packaged with the album is a complete, simultaneously and collaboratively created piece by the two of us. Airships Fill the Sky is my debut solo album.
So how exactly do you work together, what is your MO?
MORGAN: I think perhaps at this point it would best not to show what's behind that particular curtain.
JOSH: Ha, mostly because we have no MO; our working patterns change to suit the project we're working on. It could involve emphasis on a lot of discussion and planning, or could come from a much more fluid and indefinable series of jam sessions where something desirable and often unnamable emerges. Or it could involve a lot of beer.
Are you artists or entertainers?
MORGAN: I was drawn to electronic music in a particularly anti-intellectual part of my life and sort of sought refuge in it from the completely confusing and esoteric ideas and reading I was being exposed to both in music school and in the course of getting an anthropology degree. I loved the lower-brow, functional nature of dance music, even while the stuff I liked tended to be the much more clever, sophisticated, nerdier-leaning music. I know some people may care about the artist/entertainer distinction, but I don't value one above the other, don't know where the line between them lies, and frankly I'm quite happy to leave it to other people to figure that stuff out.
JOSH: I would like to consider myself an artist, but can't deny the pleasure of performing for people. I think in a way all artists are entertainers, but a pure entertainer is focused completely on the entertainment of their audience. For me, the art can't mean anything without a viewer or audience, but must satisfy the artist first.
You've both recently developed your own software tools, do you feel limited by the technology on the market, or is it just a good excuse to get all nerdy?
MORGAN: I wouldn't know how to make the sounds I make with off-the-shelf software. Or if I did, it would be so tedious I wouldn't bother. Perhaps more important than the technical possibilities that home-made software gives me are the artistic constraints (remembering that, in my view, constraints are a good thing) and the focus I gain by relying so heavily on my own tools. I want as much as anything to really own my sound, for people to be able to listen to something I've made and say, "Oh, that couldn't have been made by anyone but Morgan Packard". Creating my own software, and relying on it as much as possible means that I spend more time using fewer tools, and that they're tools that not so many people use. My theory and hope is that that's one way to individuality.
Regarding the second part of the question, I see this less as an excuse to get nerdy, and more of a healthy channeling of the insuppressible nerd inside me. If I don't give my inner nerd some solid projects, he will pop out in all sorts of unexpected and perhaps less productive ways. I think that by getting nerdy and making software, I'm able to make music that's a little less nerdy. Hopefully!
JOSH: I came to visualism with no idea of existing software, only a vague sense of what I wanted to see. In fact I was originally inspired by going with Morgan to Share, a sort of ultra-nerd open jam session involving both musicians and visualists where anyone can perform. The variety of performance methods and techniques on display there combined with my experience as an interactive web developer gave me the idea to create my own little piece of software. I wanted it to run incredibly smoothly, and wanted to have very immediate control over what was happening to the image. What I really wanted was a visual instrument, something which was simple to use but allowed the user enough options and freedom to create a wide variety of images. I really didn't even consider trying existing software because it just seemed easier and more fun at the time to create a little toy from scratch. As superDraw grew and became more and more complicated, I realized that the work itself was becoming a form of artistic expression for me, that I was using code and numbers to be creative. I realized that the process itself was becoming important to me.
Now I see something in nature that I'm inspired by or want to try, and I can go home and try to program something that emulates it. I've built a structure that I'm very comfortable working in, and I can easily add bits and pieces. This allows me to work casually, almost playfully. Often I make mistakes and, sometimes, amazing things come from those mistakes. Either way, the act of seeing something, and then trying to create it from scratch forces me to learn new things constantly. That process, and the fact that I can build in weird features or make drastic changes – if I feel like it or if needed for something Morgan and I want to do – combine to make writing your own software incredibly rewarding.
What other projects have you got on the go at the moment?
MORGAN: I mentioned Josh's installation work, which Ezekiel Honig and I have both been helping with a bit. I'm working on a follow-up album to Airships Fill the Sky. I also co-run a semi-regular event series in New York called Fine Diving, where I work hard to create the sort of environment I feel my music (and also Josh's visuals) are best experienced. We don't perform every time, but when we do, it's in an ideal setting.
JOSH: Besides a number of music videos and album cover art, I'm definitely continuing to work on the installation version of superDraw. It's a really interesting project with quite a few potential applications. I'm incredibly interested in exploring the idea of collaborative, multi-user performance. At the same time I'm working hard to create a version of superDraw that I deem worthy of public consumption, which involves the near impossible task of simplifying how everything works to the point that I feel it's a true visual instrument.
Airships Fill the Sky is currently available on Anticipate Recordings.

The Emerson family, the brightest and bossiest collection of human beings to grace early 1900s archaeology, has been unleashed on another artifact-rich region. This time the delightful and troublesome Ramses is a young man—he's an admirable young man but I love him as the hell-on-wheels six-year-old in older Egyptian adventures—and there is an adopted daughter, Nefret, whose acquisition must have been the fascinating topic of another book.
A River in the Sky tracks Amelia Peabody Emerson, her blustery, adoring and brilliant Egyptologist husband, Nefret and a motley crew of friends, servants and hangers-on to Jerusalem where a bumbling amateur intends to dig for the Ark of the Covenant at one of the holiest sites in Palestine. Ramses is already in Palestine on another dig, getting himself perilously involved in a murderous intrigue. The Germans are planning a railroad and an eventual occupation of the region. Turkish soldiers of the Ottoman Empire don't bother with niceties when keeping order. Weird characters abound and many of them might be spies or other nefarious villains.
As ever, Amelia is brusque, intelligent, competent, attracted to the most dangerous sites and the possibilities of a dig to clear up some historical mysteries. But this time an added complication is the apparent disappearance of Ramses who has failed to show up as directed and join his parents' dig. The Crown has set the Emersons loose in Palestine to uncover a plot to destabilize the precarious peace among conflicting religions in the tinderbox of Jerusalem. Much more than the discovery of new artifacts is at stake. Things get complicated before the expedition sets one foot out of England.
Elizabeth Peters delivers her razor-sharp, contentious, funny and historically-lavish typical Amelia Peabody mystery. The repartee between the Emersons is quick and clever. The plots and subplots twist into a satisfying tangle. You can't entirely guess at the resolution but you are happy to be led to it, enjoying the adventure along the way. There are no false notes in these stories. The times, the trickery and the players all make sense in a believable world. My only regret was the absence of De Cat Bastet and that wicked little boy who bedevils everyone and saves the day hilariously in earlier books.

With all the excitement surrounding CODXP over in Los Angeles, and the multiplayer reveal, some of you (although we doubt many) might have missed the ultra-sweet limited edition Xbox 360 set to launch with the game.
Pocket-lint was over enjoying the Call of Duty XP festivities in Los Angeles when we spied the sleek console sitting inside a box. We tried desperately to get our hands-on it, if just to enjoy the feel of that sweet, sweet plastic and hear the start up and disc tray opening noise, but unfortunately a massive American security guard looked like he might have taken aversion to it.
We did, however, manage to grab these shots of the new 320GB console sitting within its plastic throne. Up close things are expertly finished and the brushed and scraped metal effect is a definite crowd pleaser. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to hear the signature Call of Duty sound when the console fires up.
The MW3 controller that is to ship with the console is also seriously cool, keeping up the same look as the Limited Edition Xbox.
We see this one as being a serious hit with the fans, but at £269 for console, two controllers, MW3 game and a month's Xbox Live Gold, we reckon it will please anyone - COD fan or not.
Thankfully, those that can't push the boat out for the whole package will be able to buy just the controller.
