Residents back in Lawrence Apartments after bomb threat
Posted December 3, 2001; 12:55 a.m.
Residents of the 12-floor high-rise at Lawrence Apartments had to evacuate the building Monday morning, after a note containing a bomb threat was discovered by the building superintendent. Bomb-sniffing dogs searched the building and did not find a bomb.
The residents were evacuated at about 7:40 a.m., and a room-by-room search was conducted. Shortly after 10 a.m., the building was declared safe and residents were allowed to return.
Lawrence houses graduate students and their families.
Princetons public safety department and township police are investigating the source of the bomb threat.
Any member of the campus community found responsible for such acts will be subject to University disciplinary action and prosecution under State and Federal law.

Pinker to explain the nature of language, Nov. 12
Posted November 8, 2001; 06:52 p.m.
Bestselling author and psychologist Steven Pinker will discuss his latest book, "Words and Rules: The Ingredients of Language," at 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12, in McCosh 10.
In the book, Pinker, a professor of psychology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explores the nature of language -- how it works, how it changes over time and how children pick it up. He looks at linguistic phenomena from the vantage points of psychology, biology, history, philosophy, linguistics and child development.
"Words and Rules" was a finalist for the 2000 Eleanor Maccoby Book Award from the American Psychological Association. His bestselling book, "How the Mind Works," was a finalist for both a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Critics' Circle Award in 1998. His other bestseller, "The Language Instinct," was named one of the 10 Best Books of 1994 by The New York Times Book Review and received the 1995 William James Book Prize of the American Psychological Association.
Pinker's talk is designated as the Louis Clark Vanuxem Lecture and is part of the University's Public Lectures Series . It will be Webcast; for viewing information, click here .

How many of you have had coyotes come in to your calling? Wednesday I was carring on a conversation with a hen at about 9:00 AM. I had set up, called a couple of times and she answered from behind me. She would yelp, cut and cluck and I was giving it right back to her. I eased around the tree to give me a view of the direction she was in. This cut off some area to my right. We were going at it for about 10 minutes when I heard putts and heavy wingbeats from the blind spot. I thought she busted me and got out of there, but her yelps were from in front me. I heard some noise from my right and shortly a coyote came straight at me from that direction. I swung my gun to cover him and he verred off but stopped when I yelped. I could have, maybe should have dropped him right there but I was not sure if it would have been legal. He must not have liked the looks of those 10 bore eyes stareing at him and took off. I got out my water and took a drink when the hen started back up. She flew down and landed in front of me. We exchanged some clucks and then she wandered off. I am sure there was another bird that flushed as she came in from a different direction. Pretty exciting stuff for a while.
I had another yote come into my decoys a few years ago. He got my sent from where I had walked around putting the decoys out. The one Wednesday was coming to my calling.

Finally have pango doing something with SILGraphite. It is only the basic pig-latin demo font and there are plenty of issues but it is great to be at this point :)
Pig Latin Calc is the first gnome app running with it.
well, BibleTime now runs on MacOSX :)
looking at CLucene to see if it possible and worth packaging for Debian. It looks like it needs a bit of work to get it working with unicode (either UTF-8 or UTF-16) like the java version does.
no further with getting a PangoGlyphString out of SILGraphite. Need to do some thinking about suggestions for improving the API.
hmmm, well, got a little patch for pango that adds PANGO_SCRIPT_PREFFERED - if a module covers PANGO_SCRIPT_PREFERRED then it will be chosen before an exact script match or an exact common match or any fallback. Want to think about it a little more before I submit it though.
Using that, and my patch for fontconfig fontconfig bug 105 which allows detection of graphite ttf table and some opentype features have made the beginnings of the silgraphite module for pango, Have the covers function so that if the font isn't a graphite font it should fallback to using the shaper engine that would otherwise have been used.
Now all I need to do it get a PangoGlyphString from silgraphite (for the silgraphite shaper function) and find out if graphite is stable enough for heavy usage like this.
Got caught up on some packaging today. sword 1.5.7 with new lib version got accepted and promptly found that libcurl had changed so half the buildds failed. uploaded 1.5.7-2 to cope with that. Uploaded latest BibleTime and GnomeSword as well.
Might package the Gentium font for non-free, (or for wherever non-free ends up if/when it gets removed from Debian.
trying to decide what to try now, and what questions I need to ask about where to get pango to decide to call a silgraphite module shaper.
Planet Advogato?
Hmmm, don't know if anyone is going to read this but Planet Debian and Planet Gnome are looking pretty good now and have RSS feeds (so I can use Straw or whatever :) to get them)
Is there any chance anyone could make a Planet Advogato that could provide a feed of recent diary entries, preferably on a separate server since Advogato seems a bit slow from here sometimes?
P.S. gnome-blog make this blogging so easy even I can manage to say something.
Got SILGraphite font compiler running on macosx today so thats a little bit of progress. Now we just need someone to write something so that font developers can write stuff once and generate Graphite, OpenType and AAT font capabilities from one source.
KDE on MacOSX is looking good. Maybe I'll have a go at getting BibleTime running on it soon.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Dwarf Gourami or German Blue Ram as a Centerpiece Fish?
I am revamping my 30g freshwater tank and I am wondering what the pros and cons are between a Dwarf Gourami and a German Blue Ram as a centerpiece fish?
Their companions will all be fairly peaceful fish: 9 Cardinal Tetras, 6 Pygmy Rainbowfish and some bottom feeders: 4 (possibly only 3) Ottocats, 2 Albino Cory Catfish and 1 Peppered Cory Catfish.
My tank will have a relatively dense patch of real and fake plants, I will add a couple of good hiding spots and there will be a clearer area for the fish to swim. I do weekly water changes, and am not adverse to doing twice weekly water changes. The tank is filtered with a Fluval 206 Canister Filter- i can add water levels and media choice to this list if anyone asks and/or it becomes necessary.
So it comes to me wanting a bit of spice in my tank, and i am asking anyone who has experience with the German Blue Ram and/or the Dwarf Gourami to help me to decide on which suits the tank population more as well as to let me know any general care tips.
Thank you for your time.

I've had both. I've had two male gouramis and one female German blue ram. Honestly, I love the colors and inquisitiveness of the GBRs. I've found that many tend to be like this. A lot of people say that GBRs *need* pristine water, but I've found that that is not truly the case. You see, I will admit that I had my GBR in with 3 goldfish and an angelfish. She was the sweetest fish in that tank and no one picked on her, not even the female bettas. She lived for quite some time and actually died due to a mistake that I made. I out a terra cotta pot too close to the side of the tank. She wedged herself in between the two and got stuck. I felt terrible, because you could clearly see how she squished herself. It was awful ...
Onto brighter news! I like how DGs will examine things with their feelers and spit water at food above the water line [I have a video if you're interested]. I like how GBRs will follow your finger and tend to be very hyper in a way. Honestly, I think a male GBR would suit that tank perfectly. The black spot on the abdomen and dorsal would contrast lovingly well with the cardinals. They are not aggressive to other fish, nor have a "territory" when there's only one DG/GBR in the tank. This is my experience and what I've heard. DGs will possibly build a bubblenest in your tank, which is actually good competition for bettas. I'm still trying to decide if my male DG built a better nest than my bettas ever did. xD
So, I do believe, and will stick with the thought, that a male German blue ram would be perfect for your tank. But, that doesn't mean that the dwarf gourami is completely out of the question. I think it all comes down to what you can find first and if it's healthy or not. It doesn't always matter how pretty the fish is, but the general health of it too. Perked up fins and activity is key!
Good luck in your search! I hope my input helps!Goldfish Lover

I've had dwarf gouramis in the past, and I have a bolivian ram now. I love both, and IMO, a German Blue Ram is more colorful, but a dwarf gourami has more character, almost like a dog. Don't get me wrong: both fish seem to really have personalities, but I really like how the gourami plays with things with its feelers. Also, the gourami, usually venturing all over the place in your tank, would be less shy in your tank than a German Blue Ram might be, coupled with the activity with your rainbowfish. The GBR usually spends its time from the middle to lower reaches of the tank anyway.
Also, i've found (compared to my bolivian Ram) that gouramis are more adaptable to pH. GBRs especially love a lower pH, whereas with a dwarf gourami, their colors will shine in pretty much any pH.
I agree that while GBRs don't perhaps need "pristine" conditions all the time (although of course that would be best), they need better conditions than the gourami does, because again, the gourami is more adaptable. Plus, the gourami is a labyrinth fish like a betta, so it can and will breathe air from outside the tank (another character feature!).
Overall, for your tank, I would suggest a dwarf gourami. But, of course, the final decision is up to you, and you can't go wrong with either of them. Keep us posted!Tanks: 30 gal community and 10 gal shrimp/community

I have recently gotten myself 2 golden rams and 1 electric blue, and would recommend them to anybody, whether they asked or not They're beautiful fish and such characters! Dwarf gouramis are nice, but they just don't hold that appeal for me. My big male ram is very active, always within view, and is proving to be a fantastic feature fish. So my vote goes to the Ram. Although the above poster did make a great point that it really depends on what's the healthiest fish you can find :)
Dwarf Gouramis are prone to Dwarf gourami Disease. Big amount of the fish imported from Asia (most are) are infected. I like DG's very much, but are by far most getting ill after some time !! A teal shame but reality !! I'd go for rams.No Cory, No Glory !!
So thanks for taking the time to respond- it has helped alot.Who Rescued Who?

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.
I had been leaning towards the GBR- but i was waiting to see other folk's opinions.
I really like to hear that they have such personality. However as you said, a healthy fish is key- but i think i can wait for the right GBR to show up- there is only one fish store near here (other than the large chains that have a fish section) and i'm not sure how common it is to find one. I am patient though. lol.
Thanks!Who Rescued Who?

I've had both GBR and DW gourami. Love them both. In my experience the DW gourami is much more adaptable as was said above.
I have no doubt that you will do a great job keeping your tank clean, however, be aware that GBR's like a well established, mature tank. A recently cycled tank may not be the best environment for them as they are a bit fragile.
Another thing of note:
The Gourami will spend his time in the upper to mid range of the tank.
The GBR will spend the bulk of his time toward the bottom of the tank.
Also, unless your tank is mature, I wouldn't get ottos for a while. You need a build up of algae for them to eat.
And cory cats prefer to be in a group of their own kind - with 6 being the minimum for a school. so I'd suggest you get either 6 albinos or 6 peppered and do make sure they have a spot to tuck in under..
again - this is your call. just giving my best advice that I've received here or have myself experienced.30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,
15 g FW planted:2 male guppies, neons, pygmy corys, clown pleco, 4 types of shrimp, assassin snails

+ 1 to FM, great info on both species.
The Dwarf Gourami with all their "inbreeding" problems are still the less sensative to water conditons than the GBR if that will help you make your decision.Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Eagles earn No. 2 seed for FCS playoffs
CHENEY, Wash. - One tradition continued, but the Eagles are hoping to begin a new tradition of winning it all.
Playing in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs for the first time since winning the NCAA Division I title in 2010, the Eastern Washington University football team will host a second-round game on Dec. 1 at Roos Field in Cheney, Wash. Kickoff has been set for 3:05 p.m. Pacific time, as the Eagles will play the winner of the first-round match-up between Wagner and Colgate.Eagles earn No. 2 seed for FCS playoffs
The Eagles received the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, with North Dakota State getting the top seed, followed by EWU, Montana State, Old Dominion and Georgia Southern. The top five teams are seeded 1-5, and are guaranteed home games as long as they are the higher-seeded team in their match-up and have met NCAA guidelines to host.
"I'm extremely happy," said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin. "The level of teams that the selection committee has to sort through is a tough job. It's always a tough decision and it is every year. Once you are in the playoffs, we are all doing the same thing -- trying to take care of business one week at a time and see what happens. We are excited to be where we are."
Tickets go on sale Monday (Nov. 19) at 10 a.m., and cost $20 for premium seating in sections C&D, $15 for sections A/B/E&F, $15 for end zone and $10 for east side seating (behind visitor bench). Tickets may be purchased via ww.ticketswest.com or 1-800-325-Seat.
Current season ticket holders have until Monday, Nov. 26 at 5 p.m. to call EWU at 509-359-6059 to purchase their existing seats, at which time those will be released to the general public. An announcement regarding availability of tickets for EWU students will be forthcoming.
Eastern will be making its ninth appearance in the playoffs, ranking the Eagles among a select group of 20 schools with at least that many berths. The other appearances for the Eagles came in 1985, 1992, 1997, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010. With a 6-5 record during an injury-ravaged season in 2011, Eastern fell a victory shy making its first back-to-back-to-back appearances.
It is also the sixth berth in a nine-year span, ranking the Eagles as one of only five schools among 121 in FCS to accomplish that feat. The only other four teams to have qualified six of the last nine years are Appalachian State (2005-06-07-08-09-10-11-12), Montana (2004-05-06-07-08-09-11), New Hampshire (2004-05-06-07-08-09-10-11-12) and Southern Illinois (2004-05-06-07-08-09).
The four first-round games are Nov. 24, with 12 teams receiving byes. Eight games in the round of 16 are played on Dec. 1. The quarterfinals are Dec. 7-8, the semifinals are Dec. 14-15 and the championship game is Jan. 5 in Frisco, Texas. All games will be produced by ESPN, with the first two-rounds available via ESPN3.
The Eagles will enter the game 9-2 overall this season, and captured a share of the Big Sky Conference title and the league's automatic playoff berth with a 7-1 league record. Colgate is 8-3 and won the Patriot League title with a perfect 5-0 record. Wagner is 8-3 and shared the Northeast Conference title with a 7-1 mark, but defeated Albany to earn the league's automatic berth. Eastern has never played a team from either conference in football.
In 2010, Eastern was the No. 5 seed, and because of higher-seeded teams losing in the early rounds, hosted three games at Roos Field. Of Eastern's seven Big Sky wins this season, six have come by a combined margin of 28 points – one by seven points, two six-point wins and a trio by just three points. On the other side of the coin, the Eagles are only seven points from an unbeaten season, having last-possession chances in both of its losses to pull out a miracle win.
"We were fortunate enough as the five seed to get the home playoff games (in 2010)," said Baldwin. "There is no question it's an advantage -- you don't have to look at too many years to see there is a common theme that the top teams played a lot of games at home.
"Ultimately, we have to find a way to win," added Baldwin, who will be making his fifth playoff appearance as either an Eastern assistant coach (2004, 2005) or head coach (2009, 2010, 2012). "We have played a lot of close games this year which hopefully puts us in a good position in one of the toughest conferences in the country. We are just excited about the one we are going to play in two weeks."

I only used the biscuit crust for some leftovers of Mexican minced beef. and it came out absolutely perfect. i will definitely use it again for any kind of pie topping.
I was attracted by the nutmeg seasoning, which I thought might please my son, M.Ego. (He reviews my meals like the character in Ratatouille) I tweaked a few things-- used sweet corn and peas, omitted the celery, and added crumbled sage to the filling. Happily, he was pleased, and I will be making this again
Excellent! I added green beans instead of the potatoes as another poster suggested and I doubled it so I had one for the freezer. I used frozen biscuits in the bag and they were just fine and easy. This is a keeper.
A GREAT chicken pot pie! I made it for dinner today and my guys all went back for seconds (good thing I doubled the recipe.) I ran out of shortening, so I used all butter in the biscuits. They were fine, just a bit chewier than usual - but no one complained. This recipe is a family favorite.
I've been making this many years -- it's always delicious and a big hit. I find the combo of the potatoes and the biscuits a bit too starchy -- I omit the potatoes, and fold in 1/2 to 3/4 of a box of frozen peas when combining the sauce/chicken/carrots & celery.
This is excellent. We love the biscuits and I make them for breakfast now. FYI I have learned not to touch the dough or pat it down. I scoop the dough out with a spoon and drop it in lumps on the baking sheet. This way your hands dont warm up the butter and you wont loose the fluff in your biscuits
A perfect cold evening's dinner. I substitute mushrooms for the potatoes and usually add leeks, peas, or whatever I have that seems a good accompaniment. Very satisfying.
I've been making this recipe for about 2 years. I double the recipe,add frozen corn and use puff pasty. I freeze most of the pies. I cook for 15min @ 400, or just long enough that the pasty is brown. Cover with foil, then 40-50min @ 350. Just as good as fresh! Depending what veggies I have on hand, I sometimes add leek, mushrooms, zucchini...but always use carrots and potatoes. One of our favorites!
I hesitate to suggest a major change to a twenty-one-year-old classic, but one option for the time-pressed cook is to make the filling, put it in a shallow buttered baking dish, and cover it with a sheet of defrosted puff pastry (from the grocery store freezer), cut a little larger than the baking dish so it covers completely. The result is delectable. Like many stews, the filling is even better made a day or two in advance. Leftovers with the puff pastry crust reheat beautifully (cover loosely with foil).
This chicken pie recipe is to die for! I like that this version is lighter than most, with a flavorful, broth-based filling that does not rely on heavy cream. I added peas to the vegetable mixture and two minced garlic gloves with the onion for extra flavor. This dish does take some time to prepare, but is well worth-it. It makes for an excellent Sunday dinner. Highly recommended!

Washburn runs in the blood of Connor Crimmins, Topeka, Kan., who was awarded a Washburn Alumni Association scholarship this spring. Both of his parents, two grandparents and his uncle went to school at Washburn, so becoming an Ichabod seems natural.
"I've known about Washburn all of my life because I've gone to Washburn events with my dad," said Crimmins, a Shawnee Heights High School sports standout who plans to play football and baseball at Washburn. "Getting this scholarship is a big deal and helps a lot. I know it means a lot to my parents."
Crimmins, whose Heights team won a state baseball title in the spring, will play in the outfield and pitch for the baseball team and line up at wide receiver in football.
"I've been going to games with my dad for a long time, so I can remember when we weren't very good in football," he said. "(Washburn football coach Craig) Schurig has done a good job getting them turned around. I can't wait to start."
Crimmins' father, Scott, received a bachelor of business administration in 1989, and his mother, Laurie (Fenoglio), a bachelor of education in 1987. His grandfather, Joe Crimmins, and grandmother, Sandy (Shaw) Crimmins, both graduated with a bachelor of business administration in 1959. Uncle Shawn Fenoglio received a bachelor of arts in communications in 1989.
Connor Crimmins' scholarship was one of 51 totaling more than $28,000 given to incoming and current Washburn students. Forty-eight of those 51 are Washburn legacies. Twenty-four are high school students who will attend Washburn, 24 are current Washburn students and three are transfer students.
"We're delighted so many legacy students were awarded scholarships," said Alumni Association director Susie Hoffmann. "It's great to see them carrying on the family tradition."
The Alumni Fun Run and license plate program support the scholarship program.
Justin Blumreich, who has a bachelor of business administration, is a fifth-generation graduate.

Family: Zoarcidae, Eelpouts view all from this family
Description The ocean pout (Zoarces americanus) is an eelpout in the family Zoarcidae. It is found in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of New England and eastern Canada. The fish has antifreeze proteins in its blood, giving it the ability to survive in near-freezing waters.
Scientists have done studies wherein genes are taken from the ocean pout and implanted into salmon in an attempt to make the latter grow faster. These genes transfer the ocean pout's tolerance for extremely cold waters to the salmon, allowing it to grow year-round. The promoter for the antifreeze protein gene is also used in conjunction with the growth hormone taken from a chinook salmon, which leads to a higher concentration of the growth hormone in the blood; causing the genetically modified salmon to grow much more rapidly than it would naturally. Controversy has arisen, as some view the altered fish as a potential threat to ordinary salmon if it is ever allowed to enter the wild. Chefs and grocers in numerous US states have agreed not to sell the new fish over these concerns, though the fish is believed to be safe for human consumption.
In June 2006 the Unilever company announced that it would use genetically modified yeast to grow antifreeze proteins based on a gene from the ocean pout, and use it to improve the consistency and storage properties of its ice cream brands.
Dimensions Up to 3'6" (1.1 m).
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada.

- Description
West Vancouver's Whytecliffe Park is a great place to spend a sunny afternoon. The park wraps around a protected bay which features Whyte islet shown in the foreground of this image. The rocky and barnacle encrusted causeway which joins White Islet to the mainland only emerges during low tide. The shallow bay is beautifully sheltered with minimal tidal action and is popular with scuba divers and swimmers. From the viewpoints on the west side of the park the Strait of Georgia and the islands provide tranquil vistas.

Spinal Tap: It Might Get Louder
Originally published in Guitar World, September 2009
One louder, to be exact. On the 25th anniversary of their debut, Spinal Tap resurrect their career with Back from the Dead. GW plugs in and guitarist Nigel Tufnel speaks volumes.
Locusts, herpes sores and ex-wives seeking alimony are just a few of the things in life that disappear for a while only to come back when one least expects or wants them to. Now the legendary British hard rock band Spinal Tap can be added to that list. Ever since Marti DiBergi's documentary film, This Is Spinal Tap, reintroduced the band to America in 1984, Tap have broken up, reformed and gone on reunion tours more often than Pamela Anderson has reconciled with Tommy Lee (in fact, she's probably reconciling with him as you read this).
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film that pulled them out of obscurity and threw them into the spotlight while it simultaneously threw them under a bus, Spinal Tap have reformed to record the album Back from the Dead. If upon hearing it you think the album sounds familiar, rest assured it is, as the band—Nigel Tufnel (guitar), David St. Hubbins (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Derek Smalls (bass)—remade all 11 songs featured on the movie's original soundtrack. Most of the songs sound virtually identical to the original versions, but uncharacteristically clever fans will notice differences, such as several brand-new solos recorded by Tufnel, funk and reggae arrangements (respectively) of "Sex Farm" and "(Listen to the) Flower People," and a mix that puts the balls into "ballistic."
To further entice fans the band recorded four new songs: "Back from the Dead," "Rock & Roll Nightmare," "Warmer Than Hell" and "Short and Sweet." Tap have also given us the first studio recording of the long-execrated "Jazz Odyssey" (in three parts) and the throwaway a cappella number "Celtic Blues." Guitarists Steve Vai, John Mayer and Def Leppard's Phil Collen trade licks on "Short and Sweet," giving guitar fans at least one reason to buy the album. The package also includes an hour-long DVD featuring track-by-track commentary and 10-inch cardboard cutout figures of the band members that you can enjoy in the privacy of your own home.
For Tufnel, the reunion is welcome relief. After the band's Live Earth concert performance at London's Wembley Stadium in 2007, Tufnel planned on retiring permanently from the band to work on his sophomore solo effort. To make ends meet, he purchased a riverside manor in Oldham-Upon-Rhye, where he hoped to start a grouper farm. But even though Tufnel previously became a junior ichthyologist after visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, he was not aware that grouper is a saltwater fish, and he watched aghast as his financial investment went belly up. Literally.
Fortunately, St. Hubbins decided to reform the band after he consulted a numerologist who convinced him that the band could stage a successful 24th anniversary reunion in China. Unfortunately, the Chinese were unaware of the band, as the film was never released in that country. Worse yet, the number 24 is very unlucky in China, where it means "easy death," so ticket sales were not particularly brisk.
Preparations for the Chinese tour set the stage for the current reunion. Tufnel is excited about his return to live performance and the pages of Guitar World. The self-proclaimed "guitar god #349" reckons that his number has finally come up, and since Eddie Van Halen's new line of picks was delayed a month, we stubbornly had to agree. A relentless innovator who invented such breakthroughs as the amp capo and an amp that goes to infinity, Tufnel has many ingenious new ideas to share, but unfortunately we ran out of time and space before he could do so. Instead, we talked about caves, ports and Shakespeare.
GUITAR WORLD What was your mindset when you went into the studio and revisited your checkered past?
NIGEL TUFNEL Basically we wanted to do a better version of what we did originally to begin with, because those cuts were not really studio grade. So we redid them, and I think it sounds much better, to be honest. And then we've got the video part where we talk about the tunes and describe to the public what was goin' on. That's an added bonus, I suppose.
GW There are some interesting things happening in your solo to "Back from the Dead." What exactly were you doing?
TUFNEL That's like, How do you describe a moment in time? It's hard to describe, because you're in it at the moment, and then it's over. Then someone hears it, presumably, and then they say, "I like it" or "I don't like it." But it's not like I can articulate what it is about. It works; it doesn't work. It's fast; it's slow. It's moody—I try to capture a mood. The title "Back from the Dead" means that we're not literally dead, although I have a theory about that: I believe seriously that people don't actually die.

Detention policy is one of the least discussed but most important aspects of the war in Afghanistan. The handling of prisoners gets publicity only when there is a major screw-up such as at Abu Ghraib or the smaller-scale abuses that occurred in Afghanistan in the early years of the U.S. presence there. But properly handled this can and should be a major element of any successful counterinsurgency strategy.
The French soldier Roger Trinquier, who served in Indochina and Algeria, did a good job of summing up both the pitfalls and potential of detentions in his classic text, Modern Warfare: A French View of Counter-insurgency (1964):
One of the first problems encountered, that of lodging the individuals arrested, will generally not have been anticipated. Prisons, designed essentially to accommodate offenders against common law, will rapidly become inadequate and will not meet our needs. We will be compelled to intern the prisoners under improvised, often deplorable conditions, which will lead to justifiable criticism our adversaries will exploit. From the beginning of hostilities, prison camps should be set up according to the conditions laid down by the Geneva Convention. They should be sufficiently large to take care of all prisoners until the end of the war.
Top U.S. leaders during the early stages of the Iraq war didn't take Trinquier's admonitions to heart. But when the surge started in 2007, those oversights began to be rectified by a commander, David Petraeus, who had coauthored a counterinsurgency manual that drew on the work of Trinquier and other eminent strategists.
The number of detainees held in Iraq by U.S. forces swelled from 14,000 to 24,000 during the course of the surge in 2007. (The figure is now down below 11,000.) But while the number held increased, complaints about abuses--and about terrorists turning prison camps into Jihad U.--decreased. This was largely a result of the changes implemented by Major General Douglas Stone, a Marine Corps reservist who brought a fresh eye to the problem when he took over Task Force 134, charged with detainee operations, in April 2007. He was helped by the fact that since the Abu Ghraib debacle in 2004 an entirely new detention camp had been built in southern Iraq (Camp Bucca), while the Camp Cropper facility near Baghdad had been upgraded and more troops (primarily military police) had been assigned to their operations.
But the way those facilities were run still left a lot to be desired. Among other steps, Stone segregated detainees based on threat level--the hard-core jihadists were moved away from the small fry so they could not influence them. Moderate Islamic leaders were brought in to preach nonviolence and to counteract jihadist indoctrination. Panels of officers were set up to review all detentions and arrange for release of prisoners deemed no longer a threat. (Tribal elders or -others had to vouch for their continued good conduct, which helps explain why the recidivism rate has been extremely low.) For those still stuck behind barbed wire, family visits were not only allowed but encouraged, providing a morale boost and dispelling rumors of mistreatment. First-rate medical care was offered--equivalent to that received by U.S. troops. Educational and vocational programs were set up to keep prisoners busy and to teach them skills they could use to get a job. When I visited Camp Cropper last year, I saw an impressive array of paintings and sewing projects that the detainees were producing--some looked like they might fetch a nice price in a Manhattan art gallery.
All of this was part of a concept known as "COIN inside the wire" (COIN is the military acronym for counterinsurgency), and it is now generally acknowledged that this was a major aspect of the vast improvements that have occurred in Iraq since 2006. Nothing like it has been done in Afghanistan--yet. But it's starting to happen. Stone was just sent to Afghanistan at Petraeus's request to study American and Afghan detention operations and to make recommendations for improvements.
One of the major problems in Afghanistan is that we are not holding nearly enough detainees--only 620 or so at the Bagram Theater Internment Facility. A new detention facility at Bagram Air Base outside Kabul is almost complete and expected to open in September. Then U.S. forces will have the capacity to hold over 1,200 detainees in better conditions. That's an improvement, but it leaves capacity still inadequate given that Afghanistan is a larger country than Iraq, in both area and population, and confronts an insurgency believed to number tens of thousands of full- and part-time fighters.
If and when U.S.-led counter-insurgency operations gain irreversible momentum, lots of Taliban are expected to flip over to the government's side as happened in Iraq with the Awakening councils and the Sons of Iraq. But to gain momentum in the first place it is important to take a lot of terrorists off the streets (or, more accurately, off the hills)--either by killing them or by locking them up. And there is a lot to be said for the latter over the former. You can't interrogate dead men, and the massive use of firepower is sure to alienate the population even more than massive lockups.
As I discovered during a visit a few months ago, no one knows how many suspected terrorists the Afghans are holding--itself a major part of the problem. There needs to be a much better accounting of prisoners. A July 20 article in the New York Times cites a figure of 15,000 detainees, but this covers the country's entire prison population, most of them common criminals. Only about 350 detainees are being held at the special high-security wing of the Pul-i-Charkhi prison, which was set up with U.S. help.
The first and most urgent demand is to put a lot more suspected terrorists behind bars, while being careful to avoid the kind of backlash that would occur if U.S. troops were to start indiscriminately rounding up young men. In Iraq in 2003-04 we saw how large-scale sweeps and detentions can alienate the population, but we also saw in 2007-08 how targeted operations based on good intelligence can dramatically improve a situation by taking hardened killers off the streets. That kind of intelligence can be generated only by having troops live in small outposts among the people, something that is only now starting to happen in some of the most insurgent-infested areas of southern and eastern Afghanistan.
The second and equally urgent demand is to improve detention operations so that larger numbers of detainees can be held securely and safely--and ensure that those who are eventually released don't come out more embittered and better versed in the dark arts of destruction than when they went in.
There are daunting obstacles in the way of accomplishing these urgent objectives. The biggest problem is the lack of Afghan government capacity. There are not nearly enough judges, lawyers, or prison guards, and the ones who exist are too often corrupt, incompetent, and unprofessional. A dramatic indication of the problem was the fact that the Taliban were able to raid a major prison in Kandahar a year ago, freeing hundreds of their compatriots. Iraq had (and still has) many of these same issues, but they were somewhat alleviated by an American Rule-of-Law Task Force which built court houses, trained prison guards and judges, and undertook other steps to boost Iraqi capacity. No such large-scale effort has yet been undertaken in Afghanistan.
There is another obstacle in Afghanistan that we didn't face in Iraq. That would be NATO. Our European allies are so wary of being involved in "another Abu Ghraib" that they have gone to the extreme of refusing to take part in detention operations altogether. Troops operating under the NATO mandate--that is, almost all foreign troops in Afghanistan, including almost all Americans--are allowed to hold detainees for only 96 hours. Then they have to either release them or turn them over to the Afghans. Neither choice is a good one. As one officer at Task Force Guardian, the U.S. unit in charge of detention operations, told me, "With the NATO policy the Taliban have a sanctuary right here in Afghanistan." Troops I talked to in southern Afghanistan complained of a "catch and release" policy, with U.S. detention officials accepting only "high value targets." Many lower-level detainees had to be cut loose even if they were still dangerous.
The final problem is the U.S. courts. Already one federal judge has given Bagram detainees captured outside Afghanistan the right to challenge their detention in habeas corpus proceedings in American courts. If this precedent stands and expands, it could put at risk the entire war effort. Troops cannot effectively fight a massive insurgency if bound to observe the same constitutional protections we extend to criminal suspects at home. They need to have the authority to lock up those deemed a threat, often on the basis of secret intelligence that can't be shared with the accused, even if there is no evidence "beyond a reasonable doubt" to convict them in a court of law.
But assuming that the Supreme Court doesn't simply take charge of the entire detention operation, the other problems are hardly insuperable. The United States can dual-hat American troops to give them the authority under Operation Enduring Freedom to hold detainees indefinitely, as occurred in Iraq. We can also work with the Afghans to boost their own capacity to adjudicate cases and to hold terrorism suspects.
The bad news is that during the seven-plus years we've been fighting in Afghanistan these steps still have not been taken. The good news is that the new leadership team--General Stanley McChrystal in Kabul, General David Petraeus at Central Command, and Admiral James Stavridis at NATO--understands the place of detention operations within a comprehensive counterinsurgency strategy and is starting to address the problems. Better late than never.

I see them as replacements for my vintage playsets, which have broken parts. I didn't realize the figures in them were based on Resolute.
Just Roadblock. It's the first use of the mold as Roadblock, though the body and limbs were previously used for Night Adder. Hawk, Grand Slam, the Neo-Viper, Scrap-Iron, and the MARS Trooper look like straight re-releases of the earlier ROC figures (with Scrap-Iron and Grand Slam being repaints of the 25th Anniversary figures). Tripwire is some weird hybrd Tiger Force/ROC paint scheme, and the Tele-Viper is done in more ROC-friendly colors.
I'd jump right on getting an Outpost Defender. My brother grabbed one, and by the time I got to Wal-Mart, they had all of them but that set. I grabbed the Surveillance Port but passed on the rest, though I kind of wish I got the missile launcher to put on one of my H.I.S.S. tanks.
HTS has the MARS Troopers 3pack on sale for $10 for today only: http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/dealoftheday/
Is that today only, 12/3, or today only, 12/4? I don't want to break out my spreadsheet now, but that's a pretty nice deal.... Dammit, those guys look more like modernized Vipers than the actual movie Vipers. I can't wait to find out.
Two sets cost $30 with shipping and CA's insanely high sales tax, or $5 per figure. Now I have six more to add to the three I already have in slightly different color schemes. Thanks, JT. You rock, and stuff. This was worth opening the ledger late at night.
Sure thing, glad to help.
I don't know if it's for today, the 3rd, or technically tomorrow, so it's best that you got 'em now. I *think* they're for the 4th though, as earlier in the day, the deal was a creepy robot chimp.
My bad, by the way, on describing the paint jobs on the WM pack-in figures. Scrap-Iron has a light grey and red color scheme, whereas the first ROC Scrap-Iron (with the renamed Ferret) was black and burgundy. The new one looks better. Too bad Scrap-Iron isn't an army builder; I've got five of him now! (I'm thinking one of those heads might wind up on a custom Robert Skelton SAW-Viper, if I can get rid of the scar....)
Okay, who took advantage of the Toys for Tots thing from Hasbro (or just happened to buy Joe stuff in November)?
I got the mini Night Raven, two SNAKEs, a Coba Jetpack, two Red Fangs, two Night Adders, the Cobra TRU set, Charbroil, City Strike Snake Eyes, the K-Mart exclusive set, a Viper Commando, a Crimson Neo-Viper, and the Then-And-Now Rockslide/Polar Battle Bear set. So, by my count, Hasbro should've donated 15 toys to TFT.
Hello? Anyone else here?
I picked up the Arashikage Temple today. I wasn't going to, but Chux Jr expressed interest in the two crappy figures, and I'd read this was a treasure trove of accessories. It is. The temple itself is pretty lame, and very flimsy. Snake Eyes looks like carp. Storm Shadow isn't bad; I considered a headswap with the Hard Master to make a more comic-accurate HM, but didn't feel like painting over the huge Cobra sigil and gave him to Jr as well. I could now, though, give a ninja weapon to just about every single figure I have and have some to spare. (I exaggerate, but it doesn't seem like by much.)
Got a Desert-Viper, too. He's pretty sweet; a re-release of the Elite Viper with a treasure trove of accessories himself--goggles (not sure who from off-hand), desert Major Bludd's bandana, ROC Zartan's rifle, the standard Elite Viper holster and pistol, a new (?) vest, the nonstandard sword from the DVD pack Snake Eyes, a yari (because they're awesome--I know one came with the Crimson Viper, but I think that was a re-use also), Helix's kitchen knife, and two hatchets. All of the weapons have superior paint applications over the original releases (which, in some cases, were unpainted). He's not accurate to the classic Desert Scorpion, but far superior. I may get another one or two.
Opened the Surveillance Port. This thing suffers badly, since it's clear there were features in the 1986 release that aren't mentioned at all in the spotty instructions. It also seems weird that it's in classic Cobra blue, when both figures are in the ROC MARS glossy red-and-black. The Tele-Viper, it turns out, isn't a repaint of the earlier version, but a Tele-Viper head slapped on a Neo-Viper body. Oh, and he doesn't have his awesome backpack or crazy "microwave gun." Bummer. Still, not bad for $15, and the fold-out diorama is actually somewhat nice.

Breaking Into Video Game Design
For years, Charles has known that he wanted to work in video games. As a very young child, he was always drawing and colouring in what came to be known in this family as his 'disasters': pictures full of 'happenings' - usually pretty disastrous ones! People would come into our kitchen and look at all these drawings pinned up on the wall and say 'well - er- yes!' For a while, we thought he might want to study art, but it didn't turn out that way. Instead, he did an honours maths degree. He had always been mad about board games, games of all kinds really. Every careers advisor he had ever spoken to had said that he would need to be a demon programmer, but when he did two years of computer science at Glasgow University, he found out that he didn't enjoy it much! None of this dampened his interest in games though.
After graduation (and a few months as a kitchen porter) he worked in the games industry for a couple of years - including a spell with Rockstar - on short Quality Assurance contracts, getting his name on several major titles in the process. Then he was accepted onto a postgraduate masters course in Video Game Development at the University of Abertay in Dundee - a course about which he speaks very highly indeed. Now, he and three colleagues from that course have set up their own development studio, called Guerilla Tea - also in Dundee.
As he would say himself, he knew what he wanted to do and to be - just didn't know what that job was called. Design, in video games, involves not just coming up with ideas (although that's a part of it) but making the game itself work as a game. He tells me he uses his maths and his QA experience a lot. Also all those years of creating disasters and writing about them!
If you're interested in the games industry and how it works - even if you aren't actually aiming for a career as a video game designer - you could do worse than download and read this guide. I think it's very nicely written but it also gives a fascinating overview of an industry which is changing and developing so rapidly that our kids generally know more about it than we do.

It's great when you see your child find 'his thing' and be happy! My son started at the University studying Artificial Intelligence (he's in his second year now) and he seems to 'blossom' - he had a hard time finding the right study and - just like your son - he knew what he wanted to study but didn't know how it was called... Hooray for young fellows! I hope you're doing well too Catherina, haven't visited your blog in a while (I've been busy with a lot including setting up a magazine!)

Hello, Marit! I know what you mean about seeing them 'blossom' - and how lovely that your son has found what's right for him. We're just back from Charles' graduation in Dundee and what a joyful few days it was. Tell me more about the magazine!

Good luck to your son on his book! It sounds like he's found his path and is now sharing his experience with others. That's inspirational!
The book looks great - very nice cover. Who did the art?

The art is great isn't it? My son did my 'coffee' logo on the other post - and made this cover too, but most of the actual art - which is outstanding, I think - was done by a young Scottish digital artist called Matt Zanetti. He, my son and two others have set up their own video game development studio called Guerilla Tea.

"My Altec Lansing 716s are getting old and my Sennheiser HD 600s will need new cords shortly, so when I saw the Lenntek Pros at Costco.com for $50, I couldn't pass them up. When I first opened the box, and cut open the sealed all around plastic, I noticed that the included tips are all very small. But if you push them deep, deep, deep into your your ear canal you can get a seal...." --chasfs

other than that i love twizzlers & cats, i've given a TED talk, and teach photography & videography at the university of nebraska.

Case, an ad agency. Case was founded by some long time friends here in New York. I knew them before they started their company. In fact, I just realized that at different times, I have lived in the same building as three of the guys who work there (by the way, nothing is cooler in New York than being able to pull off living in the same building as your friends. It has happened to me 7 times with 7 different couples! :) Anyway, it has just been remarkable to see them start from scratch and create an extremely successful agency.
And - a few love announcements....(starting with my favorite!):
-One woman says, "I've started telling my daughters I'm beautiful." (I couldn't love this more!!)
-I can't wait to see all my family! Every single one of the Papas will be together for Christmas. That's quite a feat as we are spread out between London, Chicago, Portland, Medford, Mesa, and New York! I've been thinking of stocking stuffers for all of them and I think it might include these.
-Are you going to be in New York for the holidays? See here for my NYC HOLIDAY GUIDE from last year. We're talking Dyker Heights, the best Santa in NYC, the best tamales, and the Rockettes (they are ah-mazing...seeing them will make you wish you grew up taking dance classes :). And - one of my favorites on the list...the live nativity on the Upper East Side (a must!)
-Three surprising vegetables that are in season right now. (I am always trying to work in more vegetables. Tonight it was sauteed spinach with heirloom tomatoes, garlic, basil, and sausage from my favorite little Italian market in Park Slope, Russo's.)
-I already got my Christmas present! And it's for blogging, actually. You can't imagine how slow my computer has been for quite a while. So Danny got me a new computer. I feel so spoiled. But, oh man - I needed it.
-In case you need Christmas cards.
-A spotlight on a sweet little boy that is in need of a family.
-A Thanksgiving tragedy, and how we can help.
What are your plans this weekend? Weekends in December always seem to be full of something good. Hope that's the case for you. We'll be enjoying our very clean apartment (thanks to the shoot) and hopefully hanging out with some good friends.

Answers by Expert:
I'm a professional photographer and I can answer questions questions relating to SLRs (35mm or DSLRs) and general photographic technique. I'll be happy to share my knowledge with anybody who's looking to learn or is just plain confused about something. Questions about studio lighting, studio flashes, and flashguns are also welcome. Questions about theory (e.g. colour theory, guidelines behind composition, depth of field, etc.) are welcome as well. Digital photography also involves some amount of post-processing using an image editing application such as Adobe Photoshop; a program that I am proficient with. I cannot answer typical generic questions, viz. "Which is the best camera?," as the short and sweet answer to questions such as those is "There is no such thing." Furthermore, there is a lot of literature available on the web pertaining to the same. Also, please do not ask me for camera recommendations based on a budget.
I have been passionately taking photographs since I was 13 years old. In totality, I've been involved in photography in one way or another for over a decade. I've used various cameras (and lighting equipment) over the years, including but not limited to Minolta/Konica Minolta, Nikon, Canon, and Mamiya.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Senorise Perry rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns, Jeremy Wright added 84 rushing yards and No. 19 Louisville rallied to beat Southern Miss 21-17 in a downpour on Saturday night.
Louisville (5-0) trailed 17-6 midway through the second quarter, but scored 15 unanswered points for the win, even though star quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was rendered nearly useless because of a driving storm that soaked the Roberts Stadium turf.
Perry scored both touchdowns during the rally. His 1-yard score pulled Louisville within 17-12 just before halftime and his 14-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter proved to be the game winner.
Louisville is off to its best start since 2006. Southern Miss (0-4) is in the midst of its worst start since 1976.
Southern Miss had a chance to win on the final drive, but a halfback pass by Desmond Johnson fell inc

- The DedSec edition includes a 23cm Aiden Pierce figurine, steel book, art book, soundtrack and map of Chicago to name a few of the pieces in the limited Collectors Edition.
- The world is literally at your finger-tips as you play brilliant Hacker Aiden Pierce, former thug now using his techno genius to avenge his family.
- With your phone in one hand and Baton in the other you're ready to dish out justice, but if things get too much you can always break out the firepower.
- Navigate the city streets of Chicago on foot or in a vast collection of cars, and if you're on the run or on the hunt, cut through the alleys, buildings or take to the rooftops.
- Watch_Dogs is powered by Disrupt, a dedicated engine that delivers a stunning and realistic experience.
Become a vengeful hacker in a city where everything is connected in the cutting-edge adventure Watch_Dogs.
Watch_Dogs introduces a world not too removed from our own, a world where everyone uses the latest gadgets and gear to learn about the world and connect with friends with a simple swipe of the finger. But with that same simple swipe, with that same social connection, we leave a digital shadow that is always growing. An online trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it's not just people. All major cities are networked, with urban infrastructures constantly monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.
In Watch_Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (ctOS). It controls almost every part of the city, from stoplights to bankvaults, mobile phones to business databases. And it holds key information on everyone in the city.
This is where you come in. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug, whose past led to a violent family tragedy that changed you forever. Now your skills are no longer for personal, criminal gain – you'll be using them to hunt down those who hurt your family.
Using your cyber-skills, you can monitor and hack everyone and everything that surrounds you by manipulating the city's network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy, and much, much more. The city of Chicago is your ultimate weapon to exact your own style of revenge.
Watch_Dogs Features:
- Hack The City - Watch_Dogs takes place in a fully simulated living city where, using your smartphone, you have real-time control over the city's infrastructure. Trap your enemy in a 30-car pileup by manipulating the traffic lights. Stop a train, and then board it to evade the authorities. Narrowly escape capture by quickly raising a drawbridge. Anything connected to the city's ctOS can become your weapon.
- Street Justice - Living in inner city Chicago where violence is best answered by violence, you have the skills to take the fight to the streets. Take down enemies by delivering devastating blows with your baton, or experience a shoot-out like never before with a physics simulation that rivals anything in the shooter category. Overall, you will have access to more than 30 traditional weapons.
- High Octane - With help from Ubisoft Reflections, the acclaimed studio behind the award-winning Driver series, Watch_Dogs offers a stable bursting with horsepower. Get behind the wheel of more than 65 vehicles, each with state-of-art physics and handling, and explore the massive city while completing missions.
- Everything Is Under Control - Disrupt, the all-new game engine dedicated to Watch_Dogs, uses advanced processing and graphics to deliver a stunning visual and an incredibly realistic experience. Disrupt gives you the power to affect the story, the city and the life of the population with your choices creating a ripple effect throughout the city.
- Dynamic Navigation - Watch_Dogs gives you the ability to not only use the city's ctOS to your advantage, but the streets as well. In real-world Chicago, cut through one of the buildings or climb to the rooftops to catch your target.

Woohoo! Picked up a McChewy today at TRU. Also got the Stormtrooper (they had several). The Chewy is bigger than I thought. The Stormtrooper is cool too. Good articulation but his legs are pretty much stuck in standing still position. The removable helmet is nice.
Should be getting my Roron Corob Maquette and Slave Leia Statue this next week from NewForce.
Still on the lookout for Topps 30th Ann cards. No sign in town yet.

The 2 year temporary late fall/winter i.e. December hunt is up for renewal. If not renewed we will not have an opportunity to hunt turkeys after the close of the gun deer season in 2011. That would be a real shame let's hope it is made permanent.
Telephone registration is scheduled to start for the 2011 fall season. I think - about time! What you all think?
2012 spring season scheme may change from 5 day hunt periods to 7 day running Wednesday to Tuesday. Again I think- about time, the turkeys don't need Mondays and Tuesdays off every week. This has been an incredible waste of perfectly good hunting time. What to you all think?

I see, it is more of a steadiness issue. In duck/goose hunting, I would have to say that is my biggest peeve. Someone who will not control a breaking dog, is by far the most common problem I see. However, it is not with young dogs that this shows up the most, it comes back to a higher expectation, or lack thereof, from a hunter. (training to a higher level). Thanks for the explanation.

If the dog has good OB and you take the time to uphold that standard I think it would be ok. BUT if you let the dog get away with some things that may create bad habits then you have a problem.

Thank you everyone for your comments this is exactly what i was looking for. When the pup joins me duck hunting i keep him attached to the lead which is attached to my belt. Is is actually very steady to the shot. He has been exposed to everything mentioned above and then some. The only problem i have had is on long swimming retrieves he will kinda forget where the bird is, given its not still flopping. I just throw a rock and he retrieved that bird. Thanks again for your comments.

The City of Roseville is calling for a voluntary 20 percent reduction in water use by its residents and businesses. The call for the voluntary water use reduction comes during an unprecedented period of dry conditions that have significantly depleted the water available from Folsom Reservoir, Roseville's main water supply. To help with the voluntary 20 percent water use reduction, the City of Roseville is offering these water efficiency tips: 1. Residents and businesses should monitor water use on their utility bill. An easy way to do this is to sign up for the city's Water Insight online program at www.roseville.waterinsight.com. 2. Reduce irrigation – shut off outdoor irrigation and only water if landscape becomes stressed. 3. Sign up for a Water Wise House Call or Water Wise Business Call by calling 774-5761 or online at www.roseville.ca.us/housecall. We can assist customers in identifying leaks, setting irrigation timers and generally helping them make their home or business more water efficient. 4. Report water waste at www.roseville.ca.us/waterwaste or call 774-5761. 5. Go to www.roseville.ca.us/savewater for more tips. Roseville Municipal Code - Drought Stages

Blue cheese stuffing adds special taste to the plain pork dinner in an hour.
Why it Works: A Rainbow of Colors
Just as plants owe their green color to chlorophyll, meat is red because of a pigment called myoglobin. Myoglobin is a sensitive chemical, readily changing color when exposed to light or air. For example, without air (before slaughter or when packaged in the airtight packages often found at warehouse clubs) myoglobin colors meat a dark purple. When exposed to oxygen, myoglobin changes meat to its characteristic cherry red. Too much oxygen, combined with the florescent lights in the grocery store, can make the meat turn brown. Although this brown is unattractive, it doesn't always mean the meat is spoiled—just handled improperly. The one color to watch out for is green; it signals bacteria growth and bad meat.

Two professors elected to engineering academy
Posted February 17, 2004; 05:23 p.m.
Two Princeton faculty members were among 76 new members and 11 foreign associates elected to the National Academy of Engineering Feb. 13.
Athanassios Panagiotopoulos , professor of chemical engineering, was elected in recognition of his "invention of the Gibbs ensemble method of molecular simulation of phase equilibrium and the development of computational techniques for studying complex fluids."
Daniel Tsui , the Arthur Legrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering, was recognized for "contributions to the understanding of quantum physics of two-dimensional electron systems at semiconductor interfaces."
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made "important contributions to engineering theory and practice, including significant contributions to the literature of engineering theory and practice," and those who have demonstrated accomplishment in "the pioneering of new fields of engineering, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
