In this post and the next one, biological anthropologist James Kidder continues to tell the story of the evolution of creatures on our own small branch of the primate family tree, the hominins. In his previous post, Kidder describes the rise of the archaic Homo sapiens 600 to 700 thousand years ago. From the river valleys in Indonesia, to the open savannas in Africa, to the caves in China, India and Europe, Homo erectus had mastered fire, standardized stone tool technology and incorporated hunting into its daily life. In these next posts, Kidder takes us on a tour of the transitional phase between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens.
Now we progress beyond Homo erectus in East Asia, an area that, as nearly as we can tell, appears to mirror the changes that occur in Africa and Europe in documenting the transition to archaic Homo sapiens. The catch phrase here is "as nearly as we can tell."
When the incredible cache of human fossil remains from the site of Zhoukoudian disappeared toward the beginning of World War II, this was not only a sizeable setback for the study of human evolution in Asia, but represented the loss of the largest cache of human remains ever discovered in this region. That we have any information from this site is only due to the ingenuity of Franz Weidenreich in making high-quality casts of the fossils and the few remains discovered in 1966 at the same location.
If Africa was considered the Dark Continent in the glory years of exploration in the late 1800s, then Asia could reasonably be considered the Dark Continent for the study of human palaeontology, especially as it pertains to archaic Homo sapiens. Excavations have revealed very little in China, nothing whatsoever in Japan or Australasia, and only one notable site in Indonesia. Consequently, despite having a well-represented sequence from late Homo erectus to archaic Homo sapiens in Europe and Africa, the fossil trail between the two has grown quite cold in East Asia.
While there are more than seventy sites with Homo erectus, archaic Homo sapiens or early modern remains in East Asia, the vast majority of these consist of isolated teeth or scattered, small cranial fragments (Liu, Zhang, & Wu, 2005). To further exacerbate the problem, there are no securely dated fossil remains between approximately 150 thousand and 30 thousand years ago. As Brown (2001) points out, this is the time in which modern humans are either evolving or have just evolved elsewhere in the Old World.
The Fossil Evidence
There are only three reasonably complete crania from China that date from the time period just post-Homo erectus. These are from the sites of Dali, Mapa and Jinniu Shan and are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Archaic Homo sapiens crania
in China (Adapted from Pope, 1992)
The Dali find represents a mostly complete cranium that was found in 1978 in a dating context that presented challenges for determining its age. The surrounding sediment was originally dated to around 200 thousand years ago (Pope, 1992) by uranium series analysis but it was found with riverine deposits and heavily worn artifacts and faunal remains, suggesting that the skull had been transported and that the date may not fit the cranium. Recently, Xiao et al (Xiao, Jin, & Zhu, 2002) have reanalyzed the surrounding wind-blown strata to determine an age of the original deposits and have concluded that the remains are roughly 270 thousand years old.
The cranium suffers from slight facial distortion and is missing a large section of the right side of the skull but is, otherwise, intact. It is long and low, with very well-developed brow ridges. What is undistorted in the face, however, shows considerable reduction over the Homo erectus condition and the face is flat, overall. Additionally, despite its length, there is considerable curvature at the back and the rear of the vault, which is less acutely angled. As with other East Asian Homo erectus remains, however, the skull possesses a sagittal keel.
Figure 2: Dali Cranium
Pope originally suggested that this cranium exhibits traits that are reminiscent of Neandertals, a conclusion that was not well received at the time but is now being re-thought based on recent genetic information. A recent re-evaluation by Wu and Athreya suggest that it possesses characteristics that are intermediate between Homo erectus and archaic Homo sapiens and resembles, in the sections of its cranial base, populations from Africa and Europe (Wu & Athreya, 2013).
Jinniu Shan
Discovered in 1984, a partial skull was unearthed from the site of Jinniu Shan. Although not quite as complete as the Dali specimen, this cranium displays many of the same features as Dali and has been comfortably designated archaic Homo sapiens. Electron spin resonance (Now electron paramagnetic resonance) dating of five fossil animal teeth reveals a date of approximately 200 thousand years B.P. (Tiemei, Quan, & En, 1994)
Figure 3: Jinniushan (From Tiemei et al. 1994)
As with the Dali find, this skull exhibits advanced traits over theHomo erectus condition, including a more rounded rear and side of the vault, facial flattening, and a general thinning of the cranial bones. Brown (2001) writes that the cranium has a volume of around 1400 CCs, just under the average for anatomically modern humans. Archaic traits are still present, however. There is a very well-developed brow ridge, although there is some separation just above the nose (glabella). The cranial height is low, similar to that of Homo erectus and cranial length is similar to those of archaicHomo sapiens in Europe and Africa, being longer than those of modern humans.

Southeast Asia
The only notable cache of archaic Homo sapiens remains from Southeast Asia come from the site of Ngandong. Originally excavated by Oppenoorth in the 1930s, this site yielded some eleven crania, most of which were vaults. These were discovered near the town of Ngandong on the banks of the Solo River, in what is known as the "high terrace." These fossils had been traditionally dated to between 150 and 200 thousand years ago but, in the late 1990s, Swisher and colleagues released a set of radiometric dates from this terrace that placed the hominins at approximately 30,000 years before the present (Swisher et al., 1996), a date that left many scratching their heads due to the patently archaic nature of the fossil material. Grün and Thorne (Grün & Thorne, 1997), in a later examination of the stratigraphy, state that this terrace is "a mélange" of material from different levels and sites. As such, they contend that these layers are very hard to date chronometrically. A recent paper by Indriati and colleagues have has suggested that these remains cannot be dated more securely than between 140 and 500 thousand years B.P. Some stone tools that were non-Acheulean but generally post-Oldowan and Palaeolithic in nature were found in the strata and it is tempting to relate them directly to the hominins but the nature of the deposits precludes that definitively (Indriati et al., 2011).
Figure 5: Ngandong 6
Oppenoorth described these crania as Homo javanthropus and they were also referred to as Homo soloensis (Zeitoun, Détroit, Grimaud-Hervé, & Widianto, 2010). One worker in the region, GHR von Koenigswald, referred to them as "tropical Neanderthals" (Bartstra, Soegondho, & Wijk, 1988). These crania exhibit a range of traits that are progressive over the Homo erectus condition, such as slightly expanded breadths and higher vaults. The morphology is peculiar, however, in that a number of traits present on these hominins found on the cranial base cannot be found on crania that succeed them spatially or chronologically. Consequently, Durband (pers. comm.) has suggested that these crania represent a relic population that did not give rise to any successor groups.
Human Evolution in East Asia
Taken as a whole, these skulls clearly represent a transitional phase between Homo erectus and modern Homo sapiens, occupying the same general period of time as those from Europe and Africa, although it is harder to ascertain chronological dates for these finds. Rightmire (Rightmire, 2007) has suggested that these fossils resemble in many ways the archaic Homo sapiens crania from Europe and Africa and that it is difficult to argue persuasively that these populations were separated to any large degree genetically. Liu et al. (2005), as well as Pope and Wu suggest that there is a regional set of features that link the Homo erectus populations with those of the later archaic Homo sapiens in China and cite as evidence the facial flattening and the presence of shovel-shaped incisors seen in the archaic Homo sapiens crania. Weidenreich, who examined the Zhoukoudian Homo erectusremains in depth, also saw this continuity and suggested that as many as twelve morphological features were present in the Homo erectus remains that are present in later, modern crania. It has also been suggested independently by Pope and Wu that there are links to Neandertals in these crania, a position that has, historically, not received much support but which, with the advent of new genetic information, has received a more serious hearing.

The serial buffoonery that plays out daily in the U.S. House of Representatives pounds the nails of terminal democracy into the coffin of these United States. There is an inability to work together on the most important issues of our time, such as a sustainable economic recovery, environmental degradation, including global climate change, the burgeoning worship of the gun, educational irrelevance on the world stage, and technological supremacy.
Instead this 113th Congress appears predestined, as was the 112th, to legislative ignominy, a parody of true democratic norms. This term began without any work having been done on passing a bill to pay for the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy to the New Jersey shore.
Even Republican congressional members from the North Eastern states denounced the actions of the House in the strongest terms. Chris Christie laid into his own party to the extent that he was getting criticism from them.
Republicans in the House have indicated that they are going to allow the country to be driven off the economic cliff in pursuit of their ideological goals. They care little about the lasting economic effects of their stance on spending cuts on the citizens of their own country, or the wider implications for the global economy.
As the Republican caucus has become increasingly Southern and mid-Western, and Democrats more North-Eastern and Western, the tone in Washington has become not just combative, but destructive in its vehement attacks on the pillars of social mobility.
Its demands that Social Security and Medicare be cut will ultimately lead to greater and greater calls for the dismantling of these successful programs. This, despite the enormous number of elderly people who are able to survive in turbulent economic times because of these programs.
Corporations have slashed their support for defined benefit pension programs, replacing them with defined contribution plans, using instruments like the 401(k) in which people are expected to invest their own funds. This leads to risky investments in the stock market, often leading to a withering nest egg.
If social security were cut, millions of elderly people would have nowhere to go, nowhere to turn, and many would end up committing suicide or worse. This is not the future that the most advanced nation in history should deliver to their citizens.
To Republicans, whose only vision is to cut spending to the bone, Washington is the problem. As Grover Norquist has said far too often, they want to drown Washington in the bathtub. Clearly, this may well lead ultimately to an anarchic state run by bands of thugs, armed with assault weapons, and local warlords.
We do not have to look too far to see how such a system would work. Countries like El Salvador, Nicaragua, and increasingly much of Mexico have succumbed to the lure of an armed population and anarchy in which even the military is of little use.
The same goes for countries all over Africa, countries in name only. For the most part these countries are collections of statelets each run by local militia.
With increasing dysfunction in Washington, it is feasible, given time, that such a scenario could play out here. Germany after WWI had a nominal parliamentary system, the Weimar Republic, which was attacked almost from its inception from the left by the Communists, and the right by National Socialists, Nationalists and others.
Ultimately the stresses inherent in a system in which no-one had faith produced an implosion that led to the rise of the National Socialists. The Nazis proceeded to destroy Europe in the most bloody war in history. It is possible that the Communists could have won, and who knows what the result might have been, given Stalin's murderous predilections.
That is the path down which Republicans are speeding, towards increasing dysfunction, towards a future in which faith in democracy erodes to the point that it will vanish. The results are too ghastly to contemplate. It is a path from which this nation needs to retreat, quickly.
Faith in the political system is tenuous at best. Continual dysfunction in Washington is unlikely to improve people's perception of the system, which currently rates Congress at 13% approval.
The question is, what can be done to change the process? There are a number of opportunities that may work, but they take time, and time is short.
The first is clear. The electorate needs to make their feelings known and throw the bums out. Republicans quite plainly cannot run the political system in their current incarnation. The rise of the Tea Party is directly linked to the dysfunction in that once august body.
The problem is, the current Congress has only just been re-elected and has another two years to run. There is much damage that can be done to democracy, to the economy, to the environment in the meantime.
The second is to change the Constitution. The current document was drawn up two hundred years ago and was tailored to a nation that did not face the enormous challenges that we face today.
The First Amendment has been perverted to the extent that it is of little meaning. Free Speech is taken to mean almost anything the current Supreme Court wants it to mean. Corporations are endowed with the full rights of living, breathing people, in addition to their corporate rights.
The Citizens United case, which overturned almost all campaign spending regulations, allows corporations to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns, something ordinary people clearly cannot do. Rather than promote the idea of free speech, this inhibits speech by allowing those with limitless funds to dominate speech. If the obstacles to speech are great enough, free speech dies.
The Supreme Court has also ruled that extremely violent video games and movies are allowed under the First Amendment, regardless of the potential impact this may have on young and impressionable minds. Yet, ironically, they allow pornographic laws prohibiting, let's say underage nudity, to stand. The message is that violence is more acceptable than is nudity. Perhaps we need to review the First Amendment, and place reasonable restrictions on speech, including both violent video games and underage nudity.
The most overused amendment is the Second, on the right to bear arms, which has been so abused that young thugs can now legally own assault weapons openly. If the Supreme Court imagines in its wildest dreams, that this will not lead ultimately to far more violence in society, and ultimately a breakdown in society, perhaps they inhabit an alternative universe. Increasingly powerful weapons will always, in any society, lead to violence and bloodshed.
The amendments on personal privacy have been so gutted as to be nonsensical, as are those amendments that extend the vote to women and African-Americans. States routinely abuse their ability to restrict the vote in dozens of ways instead of increase the franchise to a greater number of people.
The U.S. Constitution needs to be redrawn for this new century. The dysfunction in the House is clear evidence of that. The ability of states to gerrymander their districts to encompass those voting blocs they covet undermines this very democratic system and distorts results, as can be seen in the current Congress.
Republicans won a majority of the seats only by cheating, by gerrymandering. Voting Districts need to be drawn up according to a rigid set of rules by an independent group of people, preferably lifetime bureaucrats whose sole purpose it is to ensure fairness in elections.
The final solution, and I do not intend that ironically, or comparing it to that in Nazi Germany, is for the states to split. The fact is that this nation has been at war with itself since the end of the Civil War. Southern Conservatives have wanted to secede from the Union ever since they lost the battle.
They have taken their fight to the floor of the U.S. Congress, the state houses and circuit courts across the nation. They are winning far too many states across the south and mid-west and imposing their authoritarian ideologies on their people.
It is my belief that nothing will change the tone in Washington until these states go their own way. The West and the North East should secede from the union and join Canada, a far more liberal, open and fair-minded society.
Granted, this is a radical solution, and may not solve anything, It is just as likely that, once torn from the nation, the southern states would just become belligerent towards the rest, igniting another worthless war. It is not a solution that I think is workable, and would only cause bloodshed nd heartache.
The far more sensible route is for Republicans to return to sanity, return to the center of the political spectrum instead of chasing each other further to the right. They need to compromise, negotiate, and realise that they cannot have everything they want. As it is they receive far more from the North-east and west than they give in return.
With the current Congress, I doubt that this is possible.

Chapter 3 Summary
Ever since Alexandra's father died, and her mother found out that he had another family in London, Mrs. Lawrence became useless. Mrs. Lawrence decided that the only way to save the family was to marry off Alexandra to a wealthy family and rescue them both from the impoverished life they were living. Her mother tells her that she will be meeting with the Helmsleysand that she was planning on marrying her off to their son, Will. Alexandra tells her that she does not want to marry Will because she does not love him, but her mother says this is best because that way he will never be able to hurt her the way her father did to them.
Alexandra gathers her rusty coat of armor and tells her mother that she cannot promise making it in time for dinner. She has promised her...

The Super Bowl
Posted: February 6, 2012
So our beloved Patriots did not win the Super Bowl this year, as we all thought they should. The exciting thing about a sporting event is that regardless of how much information you have, research you do, thinking you put into it—the outcome is very much uncertain.
Somewhat true with life, of course—but in making decisions about how to spend one's senior years, it turns out there's a lot more predictability. Living in a setting where you have both privacy (your own apartment) and community (such as in a JCHE building) extends life and deeply enhances the quality. In a JCHE setting, increased frailty does not inhibit your ability to engage in face-to-face conversations or pursue new endeavors (art, music, book clubs, mah jong, etc.).
The Patriots should have won—if only because the team owners are such generous, loving people (I confess to not knowing them personally, but you can't work in a Jewish organization in Boston and not be aware of their commitment to social justice). But only one team can win the Super Bowl in any given year. Fortunately, with 1200 apartments, many seniors can win by living at Ulin, Genesis, Leventhal, Golda, Coleman or Shillman House!

(Shutterstock) (Newser) – The Pentagon is thinning its ranks from the top down: It has cut 27 positions for generals and admirals since March, which the Washington Post calls the biggest such reduction since the end of the Cold War. Military leaders are taking advantage of the end of the war in Iraq and the winding down of the war in Afghanistan to push toward a goal of reducing the upper ranks by 10% over five years. It dovetails with a larger mission of creating a smaller, nimbler fighting force. "If 10 years of combat have taught us anything, it's that flat is faster," says a vice admiral involved with implementing the plan. (Read more Pentagon stories.)

Using PHP and mini_sendmailSubmitted by robin on Mon, 05/14/2007 - 8:11am
Some linux distributions do not include sendmail in their base installation. Other folks may not want to run sendmail. Either way, if you want to use PHP's mail() function and you do not have a mail server installed locally, you need to find another way for mail() to sucessfully send email from a PHP script. mini_sendmail is a good choice for a basic, "I only need to send mail for testing on my development server" type of environment.
- Download and compile mini_sendmail.
- Create a symbolic link, so it looks like sendmail really exists:
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mini_sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
- Edit your php.ini file to use appropriate options for sending mail:
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -firstname.lastname@example.com -smail.example.com
- Restart apache and that's it.
Notes: I found I needed to supply the From address in the sendmail path; otherwise the mail server I was using would not send the email. I also found that I compiled PHP without setting up mini_sendmail first, so PHP kept giving me the error about mail() not being a declared function. I chose that as a sign to upgrade to PHP 5.2.2. Install mini_sendmail first, then install PHP.

Quote from: justanothersucker on November 21, 2011, 01:59:12 PMWhy do so many people enroll somewhere that they feel they are too good for months into it?Why didn't you just wait untill you got into a school you wanted to be in?People cry non stop about student debt and then want to walk into more of it.See, it's comments like these that don't make any sense. Why are you so concerned about what other people choose to do? This blog originated from a person who was at Cooley who WANTED to seek transfer to another school. While you're entitled to your opinion, why be concerned with someone else's debt/money? Cooley is not a bad school...I'm not knocking it. But the bottom line is that it's a school with a lot of baggage. Some people graduate from Cooley and do great. Some don't. But if you have the opportunity to go to a school with a better reputation than Cooley, why hate on that student? Reputation is all an attorney has out here in the real world and getting that first job is going to be tough in this economy. Whatever a student can do to make themselves more competitive they should do.
Why do so many people enroll somewhere that they feel they are too good for months into it?Why didn't you just wait untill you got into a school you wanted to be in?People cry non stop about student debt and then want to walk into more of it.
Debt is real but to be in debt and not be able to find a job in a tight economy is even worse. Not to mention the questions a Cooley student or any other law school student involved in litigation has to face about why your school got sued...http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/law-grads-sue-school-degree-indentured-servitude-205815018.htmlTransferring schools isn't a crime...people start at many law schools for many different reasons and find it appropriate to transfer. You paid the tuition...you paid for your grades. If you think it's in your best interest to get out of Michigan and change schools, DO IT. But definitely consider what region of the country you want to be in before you do anything. Top 100 law schools in U.S. News & World Report, unfortunately, is given a lot of credibility by people in the legal field so keep that in mind as well. No one can tell you what's good for you but YOU.
You're getting better sucker. You almost made a cohesive argument. Kind of blew it with the whole "prove" the obvious thing, but otherwise- nicely done. Go Cooley.
And, back to the illogical incoherence.

The problem with Dancing on the Edge is that it doesn't have much edge. At least, precious little is to be found in the first two episodes. It has intrigue, atmosphere and ostentation in abundance, but drama-wise there has not been a great deal to get the pulse racing.
But as this is a Stephen Poliakoff production we shouldn't really expect much else. The venerated writer and director has cultivated a reputation for taking time with his narrative, sometimes wilfully so, and as Dancing on the Edge stretches over five episodes you'd hope the series would gradually build upon the slowest of slow burn starts.
However, episode two somehow manages to display even less urgency than the first, so if the series continues in this direction the climax could prove about as thrilling as watching the test card.
Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as Louis Lester, the English leader of an American big band in London, 1933. At first, the only interest the band attracts is from the immigration office, which is forever hassling its members over their work permits. But with both jazz music and black Americans a source of curiosity, and with music journalist Stanley (Matthew Goode) championing their cause in print, London's fashionable set begins to take notice.

When the Prince of Wales and his younger brother George attend a concert at the stuffy Imperial Hotel, the Louis Lester Band becomes the hottest toff ticket in town. It also draws the patronage of a sinister American millionaire, played by a curiously underpowered John Goodman, who lavishes his largesse upon the band for as yet unspecified, but probably not entirely musical, reasons of his own.
Dancing on the Edge does have a lot going for it, certainly enough to draw me back for episode three. The set-up is original, the music is fabulous and every scene looks absolutely exquisite. The cast largely comprises young, thin and beautiful actors, frequently in states of undress, which leads me to the conclusion that Poliakoff may be self-indulgent, but he certainly isn't stupid.
Sky Atlantic's Common Ground is a series of 15-minute character sketches set in and around a south London common. It kicks off with Floyd, played by Charles Dance, an ageing rocker and reluctant grandfather whose rock'n'roll lifestyle is at variance with the solidly middle-class daughter and son-in-law he lives with. The joke is a good one, and Dance's performance is a joy, but the show had run its course after 15 minutes.
Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross were reunited on TV for the first time since the notorious Sachsgate scandal, with the former a guest on the latter's ITV chat show.
"You're like bloody Fagin," accused Brand, placing the blame upon the malevolent influence of his older, though hardly wiser, phone prank co-conspirator.
"You buggered off out of the country and left me to deal with it," Ross responded.
By 'deal with it', I can only assume Ross was referring to the abject, grovelling public apology he made to salvage his career.

Spices and Herbs for Health Benefits
Spices and Herbs for Health Benefits
Health benefits of herbs and spices: the past, the present, the future.
Herbs and spices have a traditional history of use, with strong roles in cultural heritage, and in the appreciation of food and its links to health. Demonstrating the benefits of foods by scientific means remains a challenge, particularly when compared with standards applied for assessing pharmaceutical agents. Pharmaceuticals are small-molecular-weight compounds consumed in a purified and concentrated form. Food is eaten in combinations, in relatively large, unmeasured quantities under highly socialised conditions. The real challenge lies not in proving whether foods, such as herbs and spices, have health benefits, but in defining what these benefits are and developing the methods to expose them by scientific means.
The place of herbs and spices in the diet needs to be considered in reviewing health benefits. This includes definitions of the food category and the way in which benefits might be viewed, and therefore researched. Research may focus on identifying bioactive substances in herbs and spices, or on their properties as a whole food, and/or be set in the context of a dietary cuisine.
The antioxidant properties of herbs and spices are of particular interest in view of the impact of oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the development of atherosclerosis. There is level III-3 evidence (National Health and Medical Research Council [NHMRC] levels of evidence) that consuming a half to one clove of garlic (or equivalent) daily may have a cholesterol-lowering effect of up to 9%. There is level III-1 evidence that 7.2 g of aged garlic extract has been associated with anticlotting (in-vivo studies), as well as modest reductions in blood pressure (an approximate 5.5% decrease in systolic blood pressure). A range of bioactive compounds in herbs and spices have been studied for anticarcinogenic properties in animals, but the challenge lies in integrating this knowledge to ascertain whether any effects can be observed in humans, and within defined cuisines. Research on the effects of herbs and spices on mental health should distinguish between cognitive decline associated with ageing and the acute effects of psychological and cognitive function. There is level I and II evidence for the effect of some herbal supplements on psychological and cognitive function. There is very limited scientific evidence for the effects of herbs and spices on type 2 diabetes mellitus, with the best evidence being available for the effect of ginseng on glycaemia, albeit based on four studies. More research is required, particularly examining the effects of chronic consumption patterns. With increasing interest in alternatives to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents in the management of chronic inflammation, research is emerging on the use of food extracts. There is level II evidence for the use of ginger in ameliorating arthritic knee pain; however, the improvement is modest and the efficacy of ginger treatment is ranked below that of ibuprofen. More definitive research is required.
Recommendations for intakes of food in the Australian guide to healthy eating do not yet include suggested intakes of herbs and spices. Future consideration should be given to including more explicit recommendations about their place in a healthy diet. In addition to delivering antioxidant and other properties, herbs and spices can be used in recipes to partially or wholly replace less desirable ingredients such as salt, sugar and added saturated fat in, for example, marinades and dressings, stir-fry dishes, casseroles, soups, curries and Mediterranean-style cooking. Vegetable dishes and vegetarian options may be more appetising when prepared with herbs and spices.
As several metabolic diseases and age-related degenerative disorders are closely associated with oxidative processes in the body, the use of herbs and spices as a source of antioxidants to combat oxidation warrants further attention. Immediate studies should focus on validating the antioxidant capacity of herbs and spices after harvest, as well as testing their effects on markers of oxidation. This will work in parallel with clinical trials that are aiming to establish antioxidants as mediators of disease prevention. From a dietary perspective, the functionality of herbs and spices will be exposed through consideration of their properties as foods. As with most foods, the real benefits of including them in the diet are likely to emerge with a better understanding of the attributes of health that are best supported by food, and in methodological developments addressing the evidence base for their effects. These developments are well underway through evidence-based frameworks for substantiating health claims related to foods. At present, recommendations are warranted to support the consumption of foods rich in bioactive components, such as herbs and spices. With time, we can expect to see a greater body of scientific evidence supporting the benefits of herbs and spices in the overall maintenance of health and protection from disease.

text: Hi everyone!! i woke up this morning to somebody bangin on my door. luckily my girlffriend got up and answered it , because it turned out to be the mail guy with the two emg-35dc's i ordered from the US last week. After ringing a few guys around town i realised that the wiring for these babies was gonna put me out of pocket a little more than expected (both quotes were approx $100 aus). soooo, i decided to give it a bit of the old DIY action. and i'm glad to say, 2 hours of soldering later, my bass sounds great! the DC's are heaps cleaner and brighter sounding than the HZ's that were in there. My only issue is that when i tried running it through my sansamp bddi, my signal got all distorted. the only way to counteract it was to turn the level on the bddi down to about 3 oclock. i figured that since my pickups are now active, my signal is now hotter, which is distorting my signal. soo, my questions are; 1) is this distortion normal? 2) i didn't do the 18v upgrade that everyone recommends, i was going to do it, but then figured it would make my signal even hotter, and result in more distortion. is that right? oh, and while i'm at it, 3) i used the 25k pots that came with the pickups for the two volume pots (i already had the BTS system installed). only problem is that my old knobs won't fit on them.. any recommendations for a site that sells the 25k pots with the "push on knob" style shaft? preferably with a center detent if possible... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks heaps for any help, Andy. ps. i did a search, but i really wasn't sure what i was searching for.. pps. i just wanted to say thanks to all the talkbass regulars that frequent this site and offer up their valuable knowledge. i wouldn't have even attempted this project if it wasn't for you guys. i have learnt so much from reading other posts here. cheers!

Last season was a tough one for the Swampscott High School girls lacrosse team.
The goals, and the wins, were very hard to come by.
This spring, there�s a new coach at the helm. Girls soccer coach Ken Leeder will be on the sidelines for the Big Blue, and there�s a real sense of excitement as the team gets ready to open up play in Gloucester on Monday.
"I think we don�t want to think too much about last year. It's over," said senior co-captain Melissa Galvin. "It�s a new season. We�re really focused on our conditioning and getting ready for this year."
Galvin, who plays defense, shares captaincy duties with Priscilla Sullivan, Lauren Sullivan and Erin Condon. All four are excited to get outside and get some wins for the Big Blue this spring.
"We�re starting off with a good pre-season so far," said Galvin.
"We�ve been putting in a lot of hard work at practice and it�s beginning to show in our scrimmages," Lauren Sullivan said. "Our coaches are really pushing us to improve and we're all looking forward for the season to start. We can�t wait to get going."
The Big Blue have been cooped up in the gym while the town�s playing fields are off-limits. It�s tough to work on some things, but it�s good to have all the players and the new coach working closely on getting ready for the Gloucester game next Monday.
Swampscott did get outside the gym last Saturday, and scrimmaged St. Mary�s at Manning Field in Lynn. The Big Blue looked fast and scored early in the game and early in the second half, peppering the Spartan goalie for most of the game with shots from in tight and outside the circle.
"We really have been focused on conditioning," added Galvin, who ran cross-country and winter track for Swampscott. "I think individually, and as a team, we�ve improved so much over last year."
"It was great to get outside. The girls looked pretty good. We did score a lot [against St. Mary�s]. We got a lot of people in. We looked okay," Leeder said. "I know some of the girls from soccer, the other girls I�m getting to know, and we�re trying to get things pointed in the right direction."
That direction is ever forward. Leeder throws out the record from 2013, and that�ll likely be the last you hear of it from him or his players.
"I know we were 3-17 last year. Last year is last year. We�re moving ahead this spring," Leeder said. "The kids have been great. They�re working hard. The defense has been good, and if we can play hard and smart on the attack, I think we�ll be okay."
After the road trip to open the season on Monday afternoon in Gloucester, the Big Blue will play host to Winthrop on Wednesday at 4 p.m. They end the first week of the 2014 regular season with a game in Salem on Friday, April 4.
"We scored a lot of goals against St. Mary�s," Leeder said. "The kids have been working hard, they�re ready to go. We�re looking forward to playing against Gloucester."

The November 5 – 6 Arts of the American West auction at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will include property from a Midwestern museum, which features a strong showing of historic Western American paintings and bronzes. Artists represented include Charles M. Russell, Eanger Irving Couse, Frank Tenney Johnson, Olaf Wieghorst, William Robinson Leigh and many others.
Depicting the American West
Eanger Irving Couse's Sacred Rain Bowl was included in museum exhibitions as early as 1922. It will appear in the ongoing Catalogue Raisonné project for the artist's work, which continues today through the Couse Foundation in Taos and with Virginia Couse Leavitt.
Pointing Out The Trail by Charles M. Russell is a watercolor on paper. It appeared as an illustration on the title page of Charles J. Steedman's 1904 book Bucking the Sage Brush, and the author is known to have once owned the watercolor.
"The Roper" by William Robinson Leigh was painted in 1913. It is one of Leigh's most recognized subjects, the cowboy. Fascinated by the American West, Leigh often traveled to the Southwest and Rocky Mountains for inspiration. The soft hues of orange, green, brown and blue illuminate "The Roper" and the what made the West so iconic.
These paintings, among many others, will be offered in the Arts of the American West November sale at Leslie Hindman Auctioners. The full catalogue is available online at lesliehindman.com.

LA's best dishes: Sub sandwich smackdown
The sub sandwich is at once simple and complicated. While the components of the lunchtime two-fister are simple—bread, meat, cheese, mustard, mayo—the toppings are numerous and variable.
RECOMMENDED: More of LA's best dishes
Bay Cities
The always-mobbed Bay Cities' is lined with those stalking out one item: the Godmother. The bang-for-your-buck Godmother ($5.75, small) piles on Genoa salami, mortadella, coppa, ham and prosciutto with Provolone cheese and mild or spicy peppers in between freshly baked chewy, crusty bread. We've seen elfin-like girls plow through giant torpedoes with the gusto of a lumberjack.
Ink. Sack
We were curious to find out if star chef Michael Voltaggio's Spanish Godfather ($6)—named in homage to chef Jose Andrés—could touch the Italian deli reigning champ. About half the size of a Bay Cities' small, the Godfather stars air-dried, imported Serrano ham, red chorizo, Manchego cheese and lomo (dry-cured pork loin) all dressed up with spicy peppers and olive tapenade.
Ink Sack
We were so ready to hate this fancy-pants version—and look how small it compares. But even at the same price point, we'd take Voltaggio's imported meats and Manchego marriage over the Godmother any day. Overthrowing the sammie that we knew and loved, the Spanish Godfather is the new reigning monarch. It's a sandwich rite of passage.

Advertisers today have more choices than ever when choosing a marketing services provider. The diversity and complexity of choices is a bit mind-boggling when considering effectively integrating both online and offline marketing channels seamlessly to the customer. When a single campaign includes direct mail, email, microsites, social media, SEO, CRM integration, data capture and online reporting (amongst others), researching and selecting the right marketing partner to deliver the value you expect for your limited budgets can be overwhelming.
The decision becomes even more daunting when, as an advertiser, you have to think about the time and investment in educating and managing multiple partner relationships for a common marketing cause. Does it make sense for the CMO to continuously describe corporate goals, brand positioning, communication objectives and strategy for outside parties to be aligned with the client company's overarching goals? This dialogue can become a balancing act between time availability and resource allocation that ultimately results in an ever-diminishing return.
So, does it make more sense for an advertiser to go with one primary partner, letting that entity do the heavy lifting of bringing together the right resources and talents in meeting expectations for more efficient and effective resource usage, stronger message and channel integration and overall marketing results accountability? Chances are, with the right partner, the answer is yes. But here are a few questions you might want to ask yourself and your current marketing partner before making that decision:
- Does my provider have the specialized communication expertise required for direct-to-consumer and business marketing? Or is their experience more suited to broad media advertising, PR or event marketing?
- What is known about my current customers and how can I apply that information to help make decisions to grow that customer base?
- How is data going to be handled when using both online and offline channels? How is it collected, stored, analyzed and reported on for more informed and timely marketing decisions?
- Is my partner an expert in online and offline communication strategies and tactics? Do they know how to leverage digital and print channels to provide a seamless customer experience cost-effectively?
- How is my marketing partner taking responsibility for our customers' experience and what systems have been put into place to ensure that that experience is consistently a great one?
What arguably makes the most sense for advertisers in today's maze of service providers is to align themselves with a direct marketing agency (an agency that knows how to talk directly to consumers and businesses). That agency selection should provide overarching strategic service capabilities encompassing industry knowledge and marketing expertise that engages the target audience from every communication vantage point, while offering the opportunity for dialogue and for making a purchasing decision every step of the way, throughout the customer's experiential process.
And advertisers need not be afraid to entrust their budgets to an agency that is expert in bringing other trusted partners to the table in meeting a client's specialized marketing needs. After all, what more could an advertiser ask than to be partnered with an agency willing and able to put the client's bottom-line ahead of its own?

July, 2001
Water is life. Our physical body is mostly water (over 80%). For us to maintain a healthy body we need to drink water each day. Water is also a conductor of energy, life force. Without water, we die. As many of you may already know, the water on our planet is limited to what is put out into the atmosphere and collects as water vapor clouds, through the cycle of plant life and evaporation from water currently on our Earth. There is no way to get additional water from off of our planet, so what we see is what we get - no more. Water can and will be redistributed and have different effects around the planet. And being emotional human beings, and mostly water, we will feel these effects.
Water has become more scarce due to extreme pollution, and, in part, to global warming and the eradication of rain forests. We are at a critical juncture - if we don't clean up our act, there will be no clean water, which means that life will disappear from the Earth.
There have been many different experiments and contraptions created in order to energize and purify lakes, oceans, rivers, but they are still in the experimental phases.
Is there anything we can do, individually or as a group, to help our water? Yes...several things. Several people are born with the ability to energize water - I am one of them. I, and others like me, have been consciously energizing water for nearly the past ten years. This water is given to people to assist in their own healing. I have also energized the oceans and any water I come in contact with - but I need help, too!
Since we are mostly water, and are also bioelectromagnetic beings, we are conductors, containers of energy, and receivers of it. We have an impact upon everything we touch. When we energize water we change its molecular structure and we can bring it back to its pure state, OR we can energize it with specific frequencies/colors for healing. Additionally, we can call in the assistance from spiritual beings to help activate changes in the water. Clairvoyants can "see" the changes in the water, colors added, vibrations altered, and it can be proven through laboratory testing that the properties in the water have been altered.
The "average" person can learn to do this to a certain degree, so we can all pitch in to helping our planet's water supply.
WATER BALANCESWhen we drink water it passes through our body and then it is eliminated as waste. This waste is then recycled back to our waters (oceans, rivers, seas, lakes), thereby adding what came out of us into that collection of water. If there is nothing in the body of water, into which we dump our waste products, to neutralize the toxins, we are only adding more poisons to the water, which we later filter and drink. And the cycle goes on and on, EXCEPT that there isn't enough being done to neutralize these toxins and help energize/purify the water, so we are receiving lower levels of life force through the water we drink, and this can make us ill. This must change if we want our planet, and all life upon it, to survive.
Each person can help heal our water, as we are directing energy where we want it to go and focusing on what its purpose will be. The more people involved, the more we can accomplish. One person working on a huge ocean has minimal effects. Hundreds of people working on that ocean will have a greater effect, of course.
How we change the properties of the water is first through intention. As thought and visualization (with passion) creates form, we begin with concentration of healing the water, bringing it back to its original pure state of high frequency and life force, removing its toxins.
If we are using an individual drinking bottle filled with water, we hold it firmly in one hand and sharply strike the bottom of the bottle one hundred times, still keeping our intention strong.
Then open the cap to the bottle. Use your hand and fingers over the water and around the bottle to FEEL the energy in the water. You may feel it as a vibration, tingle, change in temperature, electrical pulse. Use your intuition as to which finger(s) or the palm of the hand over the top of the water bottle to use, as you become a channel for universal energy (Qi, or love) to pass through you and into the water. You may feel a finger(s) or hand becoming an energy-filled tube that you will direct into the water.
Healing is holistic, everything is connected. So when we begin to use our own body as a channel to energize water, we have to understand that it's not just one thing that's being effected.
Each finger has a meaning. The thumb rules mentality; index finger is direction; middle finger is creativity/sexuality; fourth finger (ring finger) has to do with close relationships; fifth finger (pinky) is about details and family relationships.
Each finger also can send a color. Each person may have different colors associated with their own fingers, so you have to experiment for yourself and sense which colors are coming out of your fingers and which chakras these colors correspond to. See if you can intuit which colors are used for which ailments. Or, you can just trust that whatever is needed is coming through you - which I feel is the best way to go, at least in the beginning.
So if you wish to heal an organ in your body, you can ask for universal energy for that specific organ to return to its most optimum state, and that organ is in the region of a particular chakra. Chakra balancing in combination with water activation provides an increase in healing. (We would then follow this with changing patterns in a person's lifestyle, nutrition, thinking, emotions, spirituality, etc., in order for it to be holistic.)
Let your hands and arms move freely, intuitively, over and around the water you're holding or focusing on - whether it be on a map, or directly in front of you. And let the energy flow through you until you feel it's complete. Then immediately cap the bottle.
If you are working on an individual bottle of water, keep it in the fridge. The energy stored in it will last up to a week with full impact. Drink a few sips a few times a day and leave a small portion of this activated water in the bottle if you wish to refill it with new water, as that small amount will still continue to activate whatever is put into it. But, after a couple of weeks, you may need a new form of energy to be put into the water so you will have to do the process again. Do not share your individual bottle with anyone else, as each person has their own energy needs.
Water can also be energized with a crystal pendulum. Holding the pendulum over the water and find out which way the pendulum swings. Then focus on your intention for healing with universal energy coming through the pendulum and see how the movement shifts. Keep the focus going until you feel the water is energized.
The sun is another good charger for water, and every two hours the color rays from the sun change, so you can energize water with specific color therapies by leaving out your bottle of water in the sun during those times. But, do it sparingly, paying attention to how you feel with these color rays. If you have too much of one color for too long, you may experience rashes or other allergies, so you will have to balance it with its opposite color, or neutralize it. The hours are as follows, with the sound/note equivalency in parentheses:
5am - 7am Blue (G)
7am - 9am Green (F)
9am - 10am Yellow (E)
10am - noon Orange (D)
Noon - 2pm Red (C)
2pm - 4pm Ultra-Violet (B)
4pm - 6pm Orange, again (D)
6pm - sunset Indigo (A)
Healers can take a few minutes each day to do this work for ourselves, others and the planet's water. Take out a map and work on the same body of water, alone or with a group.
The most important thing we can do is to increase respect and awareness for our water and how we use it...our survival on Earth depends upon it. The cycle of life depends upon it. This is not meant to freak you out, but to encourage each and every one of you to start taking more responsibility and become involved in our planet's life, and future. If you have scientific or technical abilities, can you come up with a safe way (toxin free) to help our water?
Thanking you, in advance, for helping to create a positive change.

Cynic Overlook
Because the name of the artists is in smallish type and in a terrible choice of colors, I initially thought that the band name was Cynic Overlook, which I thought was brilliant. It's still not a bad name for an album, though. Dick and Anne Albin were a married couple who had some minor success on the folk circuit from the late 60's through the mid 80's (at which point they divorced), including founding the Pine Mountain State Park GREAT AMERICAN DULCIMER CONVENTION and touring overseas for the Department of Defense.
This 1981 release is apparently their penultimate LP as a duo. It's humorous and well-played - definitely worth a listen.
Dick Albin (vocals, banjo, autoharp, hammered dulcimer, guitar), Anne Albin (vocals, guitar, dulcimer), Dave Beck (drums), Too Slim Fred LaBour (bass), Woody Paul (fiddle), Doyle Grisham (pedal steel), Barry King (bass/electric guitar), Mike Hutchison (piano), and Denny Inzer (bass).

Stretching or massaging the calf muscle may ease nocturnal leg cramps, as can applying warm water or a heating pad to the area, states WebMD. Placing an ice pack on the leg, taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pain reliever, and walking on the leg or shaking it may offer relief.
A helpful stretch for leg cramps can be performed by sitting with a straight leg, a rolled towel positioned under the flexed foot, and slowly pulling the towel toward the torso keeping the leg straight, according to WebMD. A standing calf stretch can be performed by leaning forward into a wall, leg straight and heel flat on the floor, while standing approximately 2 feet away from the wall. The knee of the unaffected leg should be bent.
While the cause of muscle cramps is often unknown, dehydration and insufficient amounts of calcium, magnesium and potassium are common precursors to cramps, or charley horses, explains WebMD. Certain medications, such as steroids, cholesterol-lowering statins and birth control hormones, can trigger cramps. Alcohol consumption can contribute to leg cramping, as can exposing the legs to cold water. Cycling is especially good for stretching and strengthening leg muscles, and staying well hydrated using sports drinks fortified with electrolytes is often helpful in controlling leg cramps.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday charged two brokers with trading on inside information ahead of IBM's IBM, +1.33% acquisition of software company SPSS Inc., which the company bought for $1.2 billion billion in 2009. The SEC simultaneously announced civil charges against the pair, seeking the return of an alleged $300,000 in profits. The Manhattan U.S. district attorney said the former brokers, Benjamin Durant III and Daryl M. Payton, illegally traded based on a tip they received from broker Thomas C. Conradt. The SEC and U.S. Attorney previously charged Conradt, fellow broker David J. Weishaus and research analyst Trent Martin with insider trading on the same tip. The three settled and pled guilty to related charges last year. The pair were arrested at their homes this morning and will appear before a federal judge Wednesday afternoon.

Johnstone And Harcombe In 1950's
(Photos Uploaded By Alan Cutts)
Today's photos are from the 1950's and show various photos of Johnstone Hall and Harcombe Dining Hall.
Johnstone Hall housed several generations of Clemson undergraduates. Located on west campus, it originally overlooked the student laundry, the coal-burning Physical Plant, the University fire department, Memorial Stadium, and Lake Hartwell.
Johnstone was named for an original Clemson trustee Chairman of the Board, Alan Johnstone, who served in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Although it had sections A through F, all that remains today is section A and an annex.
Harcombe is the east campus dining hall, located next to and above the old Edgar A. Brown University Union and the student post office. Built in 1954 to originally seat 4,000 cadets, as currently structured, it is only about one-third its original size, having been sub-divided in stages over the years.
It is named for Capt. James Douglas Harcombe, mess officer at Clemson for 26 years. Arriving from New York in the summer of 1920 as an experienced Army mess officer, Harcombe oversaw feeding a corps that grew from 847 to almost 3,000 students during his tenure.

Death of Thurles Olympian The Late Sonny O'Gorman
The number of Tipperary men and women who have risen to the elite standing of Olympian down through the years have been few and far between. So, it it is great regret that The Tipperary Star marks the passing of Thurles native and former Olympian, the late Denis 'Sonny' O'Gorman, who ran in the colours of the UK.
A former hurler of note with Thurles Sarsfields in his early days, Sonny, as he was known to most, came to athletics relatively late in life, having moved to St Albans, Hertfortshire, England in 1948. He worked in a number of professions including as a mechanic and in the caring profession.
He made his name running in the colours of his adoptive country with his career in English athletics beginning in 1952 when at the age of 24, he joined St Alban's Club. By midway through 1953 he was setting records in club events with such regularlity that the experts confidently predicted a bright international future for Sonny. They were correct.
In this earlier phase of his career he concentrated mostly on shorter events - four, five and six mile races. He ran the fasted stage in the famous London - Brighton relay in 1954 and not even an appendix operation in November of that year could stop the Thurles man who stood at just 5ft 3 inches in height.
In March 1955, he was the first Irishman home in the International cross country race in Spain. In September, he made an unsuccessful attempt on the Irish all-comers four mile record at Dublin and the expectation is that had he worn spikes on the wet track, he would have achieved his goal.
The years '56 -'57 followed similar paths in terms of success in club events, too numerous to list, but in June 1957 he happened upon a crisis in his career. When competing in the Walton 15 mile road race, he was knocked down by a car. So fit was he, that he continued the race and actually won it by five minutes. However, the accident took it's toll and a week later he was suffering from tendon and hip trouble. X-rays showed that no bones were broken but he was very badly bruised and the experts, who had been so lavish in their praise for Sonny, now began to write him off.
His indomitable spirit won the day though and despite internal complications in 1958, and four minor operations after which he was advised to retire, Sonny came back in August to win the Walton event in a new British record time of one hour seventeen minutes and ten seconds. For the remainder of '58 and '59 he was once again one of England's most prominent athletes.
Sonny began to concentrate on longer events and in June 1959 he ran his first marathon. He was quoted as saying, "I ran like a novice, going all out, running the miles under five minutes. After ten miles I was two minutes clear of my nearest rival, but my feet were on fire. I never experienced anything like it. I held on to win by five minutes, but I said, never again."
In October of that year he won his first singlet for England when he ran second to the Russian Popov in the Koisce marathon.
"I have always wanted to keep the Irish name proud, wherever I ran. Even when I had a British vest around my body, my name suggested that I was Irish and I didn't care if I was wearing the red vest of China," he said.
After his many successes on the roads of England and Europe, Denis won yet another award when he was chosen Hertfortshire Sports Pensonality of the Year. Later on, despite having knee trouble, he won the Berlin 25km event in record time, but now at the age of 32 and because of knee trouble, he began to have fears of missing the Olympics in Rome.
He was still receiving treatment four times a week at a clinic and his disappointment at now being chosen by his native country for the Melbourne Olympics in 1956, made his plight all the more pitiful. Fighting to get back in form, he was dogged by the knee injury which kept him out of the Poly and AAA marathons. However, despite being unable to get in much road running, he kept himself superbly fit by digging trenches in his back garden, much to the amazement and amusement of his neighbours. He made the Road Runners Marathon in Liverpool and not only clinched his place on the British team for the Olympics, but also turned in the best time in the world for that distance in 1959.
Rome in 1960 was the Thurles man's next race and the last big event in the career of Denis O'Gorman. And, it was to be a misfortunate event for him as a nail came through his shoe and resulted in severe blistering. "I finished a very disappointed man in 16th place. It must have taken me 40 minutes to cover the last six miles. I had a blood blister covering the ball of my foot and after taking off the shoe, I could not get another one on for a couple of days," he said afterwards.
During his career with St Alban's, Sonny ran a total of 21,184 miles, covering an average of over 2,500 mile per year. He reached a maximum of 4,300 in 1959. He kept in regular touch with the former Thurles John F Kennedy Athletic Club and always had a keen eye on the exploits of Thurles Crokes later on in life.
During his time, he engaged, matched and outran the cream of Europe's distance runners, an achievement of which he, and his family, are extremely proud.
Sonny passed to his eternal reward in the UK recently and is survived by his family and friends, here and in Hertfortshire, including his sister Mrs Teasy O'Connor, Inisfallen Avenue, Thurles, his other sister Bridie and brothers Bruno, Finbarr, Sean and the late Francis. He is deeply missed by his wife Ruth and his six sons who will participate in the celebration of Mass in St Alban's, Hertfortshire this week .
A true athletics legend. May he rest in peace.
