By Carolyn Dean, MD, ND,
Kids are our most precious resource. Yet they have become a dumping ground for more than 80,000 toxic chemicalsheavy metals, food preservatives and antibiotics. There is an alarming rise in childhood asthma, allergies, immune system disorders, ADHD, obesity and diabetes. The result is that the current generation of kids may not live longer than their parents.[1]
I think thats an underestimate. When I consult with parents of ADHD kids, they tell me that often at least one-third of their childs class is on Ritalin or other ADHD medication. One of my clients in New York taught an after-school program for kids. Shockingly 11 of the 12 students were on Ritalin. So, Im positive the NIMH numbers are too low.
Antibiotics and ADHD
Antibiotics cause yeast overgrowth. They kill off good and bad bacteria and yeast leaps into the vacuum created. Yeasts that overgrow their territory become invasive. Their toxic waste products number about 178 and they irritate the intestinal lining to the point of causing a leaky gut. Undigested food molecules and yeast toxins flow freely through a leaky gut into the bloodstream, causing allergic reactions.
Dr. William Shaw at The Great Plains Laboratory finds high levels of toxic byproducts of yeast and harmful bacteria in the urine samples of children with ADHD.[2] These results indicate an overgrowth of these microorganisms in the digestive tract. Good bacteria produce digestive enzymes and certain vitamins and police harmful microorganisms. When they are destroyed, a critical metabolic and defense system in the body is lost.
Medicating Symptoms of a Bad Diet
Ritalin Side Effects
According to Dr. Peter Breggin in Talking Back to Ritalin (2001),[5] Stimulants such as Ritalin and amphetamine . . . have grossly harmful impacts on the brainreducing overall blood flow, disturbing glucose metabolism, and possibly causing permanent shrinkage or atrophy of the brain.
Robert Whitaker delivers the following wake-up call in Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America (2010):[6]
. . . The rise of juvenile bipolar illness in this country . . . appears in lockstep with the prescribing of stimulants for ADHD and antidepressants for depression. . . . Once psychiatrists started putting `hyperactive children on Ritalin, they started to see prepubertal children with manic symptoms. Same thing happened when psychiatrists started prescribing antidepressants to children and teenagers. . . . The number of children and teenagers that have ended up `bipolar after being treated with a stimulant or an antidepressant is now well over one million.
The Failure of Our Diet
A child sees an estimated 10,000 junk food commercials per year. Billions of dollars of advertising messages promote sugar-coated cereal, liquid candy (sodas), and empty-calorie junk food. And not only that: when food is grown on depleted soil, the nutrient content plummets.
We dont even find out the amount of nutrients contained in foods. Labeling doesnt give us a clue about their vitamin or mineral content. And when foods are researched, the bias is obvious. When the food industry funds its own research, invariably the food is claimed to be healthy; sugar is exonerated and pesticides, food dyes and food additives are said to be harmless.
Soy and corn, two incredibly allergenic foods, are cheap commodities subsidized by the government. They are largely genetically engineered (GMO) and have become the basic foods in the school lunch program and in the cattle industry.
Advice on Kids Diets
My Recommendations for Childrens Supplements
Whats the Best Form of Supplements?
Whats the best source for kids supplements? The one I currently recommend has all the components that Ive listed above. Its called Kids Natural Calm Multi. Im happy to say that Ive been getting wonderful feedback about it from parents.
*methylated; methylation (noun): a metabolic process within the body that uses methyl groups to perform functions that include regulating levels of histamine (a key factor in allergic responses), protecting DNA, promoting detoxification, producing neurotransmitters, and carrying out other brain functions.

McCarey back with Saddlers
Walsall have re-signed goalkeeper Aaron McCarey on loan from Black Country neighbours Wolves until the end of the season.
Last Updated: 23/02/13 7:04pm
Walsall have re-signed goalkeeper Aaron McCarey on loan from Black Country neighbours Wolves until the end of the season.
McCarey, 21, enjoyed eight games between the posts for the Saddlers over November and December and he is happy to be back at the Banks's Stadium.
"I'm very pleased to return here," he said. "It's good to come back into a winning team that is moving in the right direction and hopefully I can play my part in this continuing.
"It's good to know that I will be here until the end of the season and have the opportunity to play regular games.
"I already know everyone at the club, so it will be an easy transition and I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things."
Walsall started the season with David Grof as number one before Karl Darlow was brought in on loan in September and later recalled by parent club Nottingham Forest.
Saddlers boss Dean Smith turned to McCarey before Darlow was re-signed in January and then recalled once more just as quickly by Forest.
Smith subsequently moved for MK Dons keeper Ian McLoughlin in the same month but has this week been unable to extend his stay, meaning a move for McCarey is the latest in a lengthy search for a settled stopper between the sticks.
Smith said: "Whilst I was disappointed to see Ian McLoughlin recalled by MK Dons, I had no qualms in bringing Aaron back here. He had a really good spell with us just before Christmas and showed us what he is all about.
"I'm only too happy to have him back here and I am delighted that Wolves have allowed us to keep him for the remainder of the season. He will compete with David Grof and is a welcome addition to our squad."

Daydreams of a solitary stroller
It might be considered anachronistic that the start of my life at the intellectual hub of the great city should coincide with my fascination for the rural daydreams of an 18th-century philosopher and musician from Geneva. In fact, it's only since my arrival here at Gamone that I've discovered—with a little surprise—that I've become a passionate solitary stroller of the Rousseau kind. And that discovery caused me to realize that my propensity for daydreaming while strolling around on the slopes was surely the outcome of a habit I first developed when I was a child, accompanying my father during our excursions to his bush property out at Deep Creek.
These days, I've had ample opportunities of noticing that younger people—particularly those who were born and bred here—rarely stroll. Even when deprived of their motor vehicles and obliged to move around on foot, they gallop from one spot to another, with no obvious passion for anything that might be termed daydreaming. Yesterday afternoon, for example, I met up with friends at Presles, and a group of seven of us spent half an hour pacing along a delightful circuit up behind my friends' newly-constructed chalet in the village. Frankly, it was annoying that I had to augment considerably my habitual strolling speed, and refrain from halting to admire anything whatsoever in the magnificent landscape, if I were to avoid getting out-distanced. And, back home at Gamone at the end of the day, I found that I had sore feet.
Funnily, some of these same friends expressed their astonishment that a newcomer such as myself had acquired an awareness of various aspects of the background of this region in which they had always been living. For example, they weren't aware of the international importance of the local laboratory mentioned in my article of 30 April 2008 entitled Source of the cheese industry [display], nor did they seem to know that the old-timers here were wine-makers for centuries before turning to the production of walnuts, or that there used to be three great medieval castles down in the valley. I felt like saying to my friends: If you're interested in delving into interesting tales of that kind, then you should first stop galloping, and take time to look around you.
Admittedly, other factors of a strictly personal kind are involved. Whenever I travel in a train or a bus, I would find it unthinkable to "waste my time" by sticking my nose into a book. The spectacle of a landscape (be it rural or urban) unfolding before my eyes, through the windows of a moving vehicle, has always been for me an immense visual pleasure. Even in a tram in Grenoble, I could never imagine myself reading a newspaper. I prefer to gaze at anything and everything in the world around me: not only interesting sites and attractive females, but even dull views whose interest resides in their very dullness. To my mind, failing to communicate constantly with the surroundings, even though my mode of communication might remain essentially passive, would be like getting invited to a dinner evening and asking my hosts if I could watch TV.

To me it's a delight to travel by any means other than driving myself. I get the opportunity to look around and enjoy my surroundings.ReplyDelete
Admittedly, when I walk, I do walk fast. But I'm happy to stop and watch, whether it's a yacht dropping anchor, birds diving for fish or dogs playing chasing in the park.
Back in Paris, I used to walk quite quickly. And that enabled me to get lost in covering vast itineraries. These days too, in Grenoble, Valence, Romans and St-Marcellin (just to name a few of the places that I visit regularly), I've sprinted along kilometers of urban footpaths (sidewalks, as they say in the USA). But strolling on the slopes of the Vercors is a totally different affair. I've only fractured a bone once in my existence, and that happened at a distance of some 50 meters from my front door, and I wasn't even moving fast. (Admittedly, I was carrying a young billy-goat in my arms, and couldn't see where I was stepping.) As you suggest, what's important is not so much the rate at which you put one foot in front of another, but rather the question of stopping periodically, to gaze around you. Incidentally, a talented and experienced promeneuse solitaire is my ex-wife, who adds an unexpected touch in urban environments such as Paris. She keeps her nose constantly in the air, which means that she discovers all kinds of marvelous scenes on upper balconies. On the other hand, she's unlikely to pick up fallen banknotes, and runs the constant risk of sliding in dog poo. But I think she's a winner.ReplyDelete

As the episodes tick down to Cristina's exit, Meredith reminds us via voicemail that surgery is a solo act. Sure you have other doctors and nurses assisting you, but when it comes down to it, it's about your own mind, your own hands, your own will. How apropos since Owen stands by as Cristina preps her bags to fly out to the Harper Avery awards, alone. He wants to be there, but she tells him no. She'll just be in and out, so what's the point. That night she and Meredith are going to drink tequila and write her acceptance speech. She's got this all under control.
Jo and Alex walk the halls at the hospital discussing Alex's moonlighting at Dr. Butthole's office. He hasn't told Arizona yet, whom he's actually filling in for that evening. They run into Callie and Arizona looking all kinds of hot, because it's date night. Callie reminds the unmarrieds that when you are hitched, you have to spend quality romantic time together, otherwise it's all dishes, and laundry and wanting to kill each other. This is excellent advice. As Arizona leaves she tells Alex how amazing he is. Man, she's going to be so upset when he leaves.
Jackson and April are called in to see a little girl with a dog bite on her face. The little girl and her mother are both deaf, and Jackson brings up the fact that the girl is a perfect candidate for a Cochlear implant. This greatly offends the parents, and causes the mother to yell at him in sign. April is also surprised at Jackson's assumption that an implant would be the obvious choice.
Richard and Meredith have a patient recovering surgery to repair a gastric bypass gone wrong. He is at high risk for post op complications, so Richard volunteers Meredith to pull an all-nighter. So much for drunken speech writing. Meredith asks a nurse to track down Derek and have him pick up the kids.
Derek is tugging at that lustrous hair of his, trying to makes sense of one of his White House project conference calls. Owen comes in to talk to Derek about the fact that he keeps referring patients to other hospitals for surgeries that he doesn't have time to perform. Derek has also been slacking off on his teaching responsibilities, and Owen wants it to stop. Derek assures Owen that he has it handled. The nurse stops by to remind Derek to pick up the kids from day-care.
Bailey stops in to check on Brayden and explain the gene therapy treatment to his parents. They are concerned that this means Brayden will be infected with the HIV virus, but Bailey explains that she has disabled the virus and is simply using its traveling mechanism. She understands that it must sound pretty scary, but the parents trust her and ok the procedure.
Cristina finds Meredith to sweep her away for tequila times, but Meredith apologizes that she's stuck working the overnight shift. Her advice is to be thankful and funny. Cristina zeros in on Alex next, but he's busy too. She then approaches April, but quickly changes her mind. Instead, she heads into the Cardiomyopathy family's room to check on the kids. Tensions are running high with the parents, and they soon start a screaming match, which Cristina breaks up, sending the father away. The kids and mother all look exhausted.

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — In a recent interview on ESPN.com's True Hoop blog, Oklahoma City Thunder main man Nick Collison made a stunning admission: NBA players have turned their culinary attention from Cheesecake Factory to Benihana. Now, we can debate whether or not NBA players should ever have cared about Cheesecake Factory to begin with, but I understood the logic behind their patronage: NBA players are constantly looking to keep weight on and load carbs, so why not eat at a restaurant that has enormous portion sizes?
But Benihana? Benihana can really be an ordeal. I can't imagine a group of players sharing a table with a kid having a birthday party. Then again, come to think of it, there's a lot to like about Benihana, from the signature sauces served with each meal, to the green tea at the end of each experience.
All of this brings us to JaVale McGee, the spiritual representative of the All Ball Blog and an all-around good guy. When I saw that there was a short video of McGee and some of the Nuggets eating at Benihana, I was hopeful this video would feature JaVale ordering one of those stacks of onions that the chefs turn into a volcano, or maybe one of the Nuggets players making fried rice for the table, but instead it's a pretty low-key time. I do love that within days of Collison making his pronouncement, we immediately get actual footage of NBA players in a Benihana, led by JaVale. And from the looks of it, this video is why they hit up Benihana in the first place: Chill bros around a huge table-top grill, munching on a little surf and turf.

"Her eye make up is terrible…it clashes with her blusher."
…..said Mr C at the TV, the other day.
That's right. How does a man with no interest in beauty and has never bought anything other than some basic moisturiser and a bar of soap suddenly become so judgemental about blue eyeshadow and orange blusher?
Which made me think about this – how does your other half deal with your love of make up and beauty?
If you are a beauty blogger too, then it gets even more complicated as the house fills up with envelopes and products, press releases and camera equipment…
I am thinking there are a few possible types of 'other half behaviour'…
A. There are the ones that are completely disinterested in make up and ignore that part of their lady's life.
B. There are the ones who will go along with it but don't really pay attention.
C. There are the ones who find it quite interesting, even if they wouldn't admit it to their friends.
D. Then there are the ones who grow to despise the ever growing collection of eyeshadows and glitter dust all over the duvets.
Mr C moans about the growing pile of make up and he complains about it being everywhere, and he has refused to let me apply any make up to his face for practise reasons. Hmph.
But overall he gets my obsession and he helps me a lot with the blog. Also all this stuff I tell him about make up DOES sink in – he's started to recognise what brand a product is based on the packaging and notices people's blending skills. He also knows what make up video I am watching on YouTube based on the the person's voice (Is that Pixiwoo?)!
I'm glad he does accept my love of make up to the point where he will traipse round London with me if I am looking for a lipstick and he won't shout if boxes of my hauls arrive in the post…
So how does your love of make up or another beauty thing affect your other half? Are they interested and supportive, do they ignore it entirely or do they hate it? And do you care your other half thinks?!

Big Rapids, Mich. - More than two years later, former Ferris State University defensive tackle Jake Visser (Coopersville) continues to reap rewards from a standout collegiate playing career for the Bulldogs.
Visser recently was named to the D2football.com All-Decade Second Team for his efforts on the gridiron at FSU. The website recognized a first and second team group of players who were the best at their positions from 2000-09 in Division II football.
Visser wrapped up a stellar collegiate playing career at Ferris State in the fall of 2008 and was honored as the 2008-09 National "Scholar-Athlete of the Year" by the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (CCA).
A Coopersville native, the 6-2 Visser signed a priority free agent contract and took part in training camp with the National Football League's (NFL) Houston Texans. The 2009 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Postgraduate Scholarship winner was also honored as FSU's Dean Davenport "Bulldog of the Year" Award recipient for the second-straight season and chosen for membership in the National Football Foundation's (NFF) prestigious Hampshire Honor Society during his final campaign. He was a three-time All-GLIAC honoree and earned both first team All-America and Academic All-America plaudits during his FSU playing career.
A two-time (2007 & 2008) ESPN The Magazine College Division Academic All-America First Team selection, Visser capped off an outstanding career by being named among the 24 candidates for the 2008 Harlon Hill Award, which is annually presented to the top collegiate player at the Division II level. He was the only offensive or defensive lineman from across the nation to make the list. Visser attained all-conference accolades for the fourth-straight year which included first-team recognition for the third year in a row and was voted the GLIAC's Co-Defensive Lineman of the Year in 2008 for the second consecutive campaign.
Visser, who was honored as an American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Daktronics All-America First Team pick, competed in the annual NCAA Division II All-Star Game, the 2009 Valero Cactus Bowl, in Kingsville, Texas. The 2008 GLIAC Jack McAvoy Award winner for character and leadership on and off the field, Visser claimed AFCA All-America First Team honors as a senior for the second consecutive year. He was also recognized as a GLIAC Commissioner's Award for Academic and Athletics Excellence honoree for the second time.
Visser added to his impressive list of postseason accolades by being tabbed as a first-team All-American by D2football.com and Don Hansen's Football Gazette. He was also named to the Associated Press Little All-America First Team, making him a consensus first team All-America choice by every source covering Division II football.
As a senior, Visser was also chosen as the 2008 Daktronics Super Region Three Defensive Player of the Year and among the national finalists for the Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award after being chosen as Super Region Three's Co-Winner of that honor. He received the most first-place votes nationally for the Upshaw Award and finished third overall in the final voting process. He also received Daktronics Super Region Three First Team laurels, making him a three-time Daktronics First Team All-Region pick.
In 2008, Visser led the Bulldogs with 105 total tackles (56 solo), 16.0 tackles for loss (-71 yards) in addition to 7.5 sacks (-54 yards), two fumble recoveries, four blocked kicks and a forced fumble in 11 contests. He also notched his first career touchdown with a 34-yard interception return at Hillsdale (Nov. 1). The returning All-America pick and two-time (2007-08) team Most Valuable Player Award recipient finished the year ranked third among the GLIAC leaders in tackles for loss (1.45 pg.), third in sacks (.68 pg.) along with seventh in total tackles (9.5 tpg.).
Visser concluded his Ferris career ranked sixth on the school's career tackles chart with 395 total stops. He also placed fourth on the FSU all-time sack leaders list with 27.5 sacks and tied for first place with seven career fumble recoveries. Prior to his senior season, Visser was tabbed as a consensus preseason All-America selection by numerous publications, including Lindy's College Football Preview which chose him as its Division II Preseason Defensive Player of the Year following a memorable junior campaign in which he attained All-America First Team honors both on the field and in the classroom.
As a junior in 2007, Visser earned first-team All-America recognition from D2football.com, the AFCA and Don Hansen's Football Gazette. He was also named to both the Daktronics All-America Second Team squad and the Associated Press Little All-America Second Team. Visser claimed ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America First Team honors in addition to being one of inaugural fall recipients of the GLIAC Commissioner's Award for Athletics and Academic Excellence a year ago.
In 2007, Visser tallied the squad's second-highest tackles figure (106) and led the squad in tackles for loss with 14.5 for minus 62 yards, which ranked fifth in the conference. He also had a team-best nine quarterback hurries along with 5.5 sacks for a loss of 41 yards. The team Most Valuable Player Award recipient received 2007 first-team All-Northwest Region accolades for the second consecutive year and was tabbed as the GLIAC's Defensive Lineman of the Year after earning all-conference first team laurels for the second year in a row. Along with placing fifth among last season's league leaders in tackles for loss, Visser also ranked sixth in total tackles (9.6 tpg.).

sign this beast as soon as he gets cut...
Do we need a tough RB?
(even if he is a head-case)
I really do enjoy seeing things not go well for this ass hat.San Francisco running back Brandon Jacobs is angry that hes not getting much playing time with the 49ers, and he doesnt care if you criticize the way he goes about expressing that.
Jacobs, who previously tweeted about hating his boss but then claimed he wasnt actually talking about coach Jim Harbaugh or anyone else with the 49ers, returned to Twitter on Saturday and acknowledged that hes mad that his playing time in San Francisco has consisted of just five carries for seven yards in two games. And Jacobs also ripped fans who have criticized him for complaining about his playing time.
I dont understand why people are angry at me because I wanna do what I am paid to do, I am a competitive person, I think people should be mad if I didnt wanna play, but I forgot the people thats pissed they dont have a athletic bone and their body, Jacobs wrote.
Jacobs also addressed a comment he made on Instagram, where he posted a picture of himself celebrating winning the Super Bowl last season with the Giants. Asked by a fan why he didnt post any 49ers pictures on Instagram, Jacobs responded that he has had a terrible year in San Francisco and therefore has nothing to celebrate.
I am on this team rotting away so why would I wanna put any pics up of anything that say niners this is by far the worst year I ever had, Ill tell you like I told plenty others, Jacobs wrote on Instagram.
Jacobs sure doesnt sound like he wants to be a 49er. Given how little he has contributed to the team this season, and how well the 49ers have played without him on the field, it wouldnt be surprising if the 49ers decide to oblige Jacobs and cut him.
sign this beast as soon as he gets cut...
Do we need a tough RB?
(even if he is a head-case)
Oh, and I'm not PREMATURE, miss. I will have you know that it's quite normal to start a game thread TWELVE HOURS before the game, lol. In all honesty, I just want the thread to look pimped out as hell and I simply don't trust anyone else to carry out such an task. It must be me. For I am the one the prophecy foretold of. The one who would defeat Voldemort.
Give them Tebow for Jacobs!!!
It still bugs me this overrated, slob clown has two SB rings... his character now shows more than ever...
Karma's a *****, Brandon.
sign this beast if hes cut. the jets need a badazz enforcer like him someone who will stand up to rex.

Syrian warplanes pounded rebel bastions yesterday after a day of fighting that left more than 180 dead, as UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi urged China to help end the violence.
In a week that has seen unprecedented air strikes, regime fighter jets yesterday again pummeled rebel-controlled areas east of Damascus where fighting has raged for months.
At least five raids were carried out early yesterday in the capital's eastern suburbs, where 30 civilians, including five children, were killed in air raids and fighting on Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The violence killed 182 people across Syria on Tuesday, the Britain-based Observatory said.
Analysts say the regime has boosted air strikes in recent days in a bid to reverse opposition gains on the ground, especially in Syria's north, and to prevent the rebels from taking control of further territory around the capital.
Fierce clashes also erupted yesterday in the northwestern province of Idlib, where rebels attacked highway military checkpoints and battles raged over the rebel-held village of Maaret al-Numan and the regime-controlled Wadi Daif army base.
Rebels also claimed responsibility for the killing of a senior air force general, Abdullah Mahmud al-Khalidi, whom state television said had been assassinated by "terrorists."
Visiting Beijing, Brahimi yesterday said he hoped China would play an active role in helping end the violence in Syria as he met Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi (楊潔篪) for talks.
Greeting Yang at the foreign ministry in front of reporters, Brahimi said he hoped "China can play an active role in solving the events in Syria," but did not elaborate.
China is generally suspicious of intervention in the internal affairs of other nations.
Both China and Russia have exercised their veto in the UN Security Council to block resolutions aimed at putting more pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Yang thanked Brahimi for his work and said he hoped their discussions — their third in two months — would promote "mutual understanding" and "the appropriate handling of the Syrian issue." China's foreign ministry did not reveal the content of the talks, but reiterated that Beijing would push for a "political resolution in Syria."
"China has been playing an important and positive role in pushing for the political resolution to the Syrian issue and will continue to work with the international community," ministry spokesman Hong Lei (洪磊) said.
Yang also met the Syrian president's envoy in August and an opposition delegation the next month, both times stressing the need for dialogue, according to the foreign ministry's Web site.
He warned the opposition about outside forces directing any political transition, while he told the president's envoy that both sides in the conflict should work with international mediation efforts.
Michael Stephens, a Royal United Services Institute analyst based in Qatar, said China has eased its backing of al-Assad during the course of the conflict.
"There was a more overt support for Assad which has now changed to trying to find a solution," he said. "They've condemned violence on both sides and as a result ... it doesn't allow them leverage on either side."
Brahimi is due to present new proposals for resolving the Syria conflict to the UN Security Council next month.

Florida Republican Rep. Trey Radel, the freshman lawmaker who pleaded guilty to cocaine possession last year and then briefly entered rehab, announced his resignation from Congress on Monday.
Radel's formal resignation letter didn't mention his guilty plea to cocaine possession in November, but said his "struggles" made it impossible to serve effectively, despite dealing with "those issues on a personal level." Letters to House Speaker John Boehner and Florida Gov. Rick Scott said his resignation would take effect at 6:30 p.m. on Monday.
"Regardless of some personal struggles in 2013, this year has already been tremendously positive as I focus on my health, family and faith," Radel wrote. "Unfortunately, some of my struggles had serious consequences. While I have dealt with those issues on a personal level, it is my belief that professionally I cannot fully and effectively serve as a United States Representative to the place I love and call home, Southwest Florida."
Radel was caught purchasing $250 of cocaine from an undercover police officer in October, and claimed he was using the drug to help treat his alcoholism. After completing rehab in December, Radel initially vowed he would not step aside, despite resignation calls from fellow Republicans, including Scott.
See more excerpts from Radel's resignation letter below.
I hereby submit this letter of resignation as the Representative of the 19th District of Florida, effective 6:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, January 27, 2014.
On a personal note, Mr. Speaker, to you and our colleagues from both parties, I thank you. Thank you for the tremendous support and encouragement. Oftentimes in Congress, our personal relationships and successes are overshadowed by intense but meaningful and necessary debate. However, I leave the House of Representatives with friendships and memories of great men and women dedicated to helping and improving the lives of our fellow Americans.
As an eternal optimist, I know there are great things in store for our country when we find ways to work together. Whether it is as a father, a husband, or in any future endeavor, I hope to contribute what I can to better our country in the years to come."

Star Wars Fans Plan Full-Size Millennium Falcon Replica 129
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC reports on a fan-run project to build a full-scale replica of Han Solo's Millennium Falcon. The ship, 31 feet tall, 114 feet long, and 81.5 feet wide at its widest point, will be built on a plot of land in Tennessee. Since this project is obviously too big for any one fan, or even a small group, they're going to crowdsource some of the construction. Their website has continual updates about various parts of the build, with many, many pictures. For example, here are a couple shots of the Quad guns and cockpit console. Project leader Chris Lee says he bought the land in Tennessee, 88 acres, for this purpose. He says he'd like to 'develop it into more of a creative retreat, like a Maker camp ... where a school could send kids.' The Force is strong with this one!"

Since the release of Kingdom Hearts 2, rumours surrounding its direct sequel have been abound. We've seen spin-offs, prequels and sequels that are merely preparing us- and our Kingdom Hearts heroes- for Kingdom Hearts 3, but no Kingdom Hearts 3 itself.
It would be pretty awesome to get a light saber keyblade and fight Vader in a boss battle.
i wonder if itl be an exclusive.. Exclusives always seem more polished & give me a much better experience than multiplats
Wreck it Ralph. Ever since that movie was announced. Perfect universe
It is cool that Disney now has control of Lucasfilms but people seem to forget that Disney now owns Marvel Entertainment as well. So where are the articles about Kingdom Hearts having a Marvel crossover as well as a Starwars one.

Tavis Smiley and Cornel West have been running around the country for some time disparaging the president on his progressive values and on his specific action to attack poverty in general and on problems in the black community specifically. While there is much merit to what they say, generally their failure to understand the dynamics involved in navigating the presidency, especially the presidency of the first black president displays either an elevated level of naiveté, or a self-serving interest that presents a danger to both the poor and to African-Americans. The fact that they were doing this during the heart of the election season likely makes the latter more consistent with their actions. If this is the case then they are doing what many leaders and false prophets have done, make money on the backs of the disenfranchised under the pretense of caring. One must ask how much of the proceeds from their books on these issues went to support projects to effectively help the poor.
Tavis Smiley was never an ardent supporter of President Obama. That of course is his right. His antagonism of the president during the 2008 Democratic Primaries hit a crescendo when the president did not attend Smiley's "State Of The Black Union" forum in New Orleans even as Hillary Clinton did. In a further display of uncalled for arrogance, he rejected then Senator Obama's request to have Michelle Obama represent him at the forum. Further he castigated Senator Obama for distancing himself from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and for not attending African-American events Smiley deemed he should attend. The height of this man's arrogance, lack of scope, and self-serving hyperbole makes him an unfit spokesman for the cause of the poor and disenfranchised. That Dr. Cornel West has allowed himself to be Tavis Smiley's sidekick speaks poorly of his judgment.
I received an email from a dear friend today that made me aware of an interview given to Smiley and West on Democracy Now with Amy Goodman & Juan González. In that interview Cornel West referred to the president as "a Rockefeller Republican in blackface". He also implied that Al Sharpton, Melissa Harris-Perry, and Michael Dyson, three MSNBC personalities generally supportive of the President are on the take. Had such statements being made by others in the media, both Smiley and West would be up in arms making accusations of racism. They continued to bash the president on his progressive negotiating skills and his lack of doing anything for the poor. What their argument lacked was specifics of what they believe the executive could really do to correct many of the ills in the black community specifically and for the poor generally.
Here is the reality. America was not ready for a black president in 2008 or 2012. President Obama defied many realities with his political skills and a very competent campaign to win. He was aided by Bush fatigue, a depressed economy, and a lousy candidate in John McCain in 2008. In 2012 he was aided by a Plutocrat he made unelectable early in the campaign because to a sufficiently large percentage of prejudiced Americans, a black president they despise is better than the white president that will destroy their middle class life. One can only guess that Kansas is waking up. The President made himself the least fearful black man in the United States. He ensured that no events that he attended could possibly be used to insight white racial fears. He ensured that America was well aware of his white mother and that he was partially raised by his white grandparents.
Most of the black establishment because of history understood that progress requires compromise. Most understand that the president firstly is the president of all America. Doing a great job for all America ensures a likewise good result for the poor and minority America. More importantly they realize that to be reelected the President must make himself re-electable to those who vote.
I purchased two of Tavis Smiley's two books," The Covenant with Black America" in 2006 and "The Covenant In Action" in 2007. They were good books that described many of the problems in black America and some solutions mostly in an abstract form. The problem I have with Tavis Smiley, Dr. Cornel West, and forums like the "The State Of The Black Union" is that they are all talk and no action. Having conferences with Harvard, Princeton, Ivy League, and other black intellectuals for all practical purposes are a waste of time. Many of these people seem to revel in listening to themselves and rarely participate in real grassroots movements that actually could effect change. While I give deference to Dr. Cornel West for participating in Occupy Wall Street, one rarely find these so called intellectuals physically being a part of the solution.
Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West will do much better by going into the community, rolling up their sleeves, and going door to door, and talk to the disenfranchised. Encourage them to vote and humbly teach them why their votes matter. Let them know that unless they vote, the President does not have a sufficient mandate to effect policies most beneficial to them. Teach those that require it, the need for personal responsibility and education. Build up their spirits by showing they matter.
Being critical of the President for navigating a Washington where he has at best partial control is but a cop-out from the duty of those who should be the community organizers that help provide the president a mandate. Only then can he be held fully accountable.

This module contains functions to generate boot scripts, release upgrade scripts, and release packages. A release file (.rel), application definition files (.app), and application upgrade files (.appup) are required as input to these functions. The syntax definitions for these files can be found in rel(4), app(4) and appup(4) respectively, and also in the Design Principles chapter and in the SASL User's Guide.
If a boot script is written without using the generator, it can
be transformed to a binary form with the
function, as required by the Erlang runtime system during start-up.
The behaviour functions described below can be used to obtain a list of the system defined behaviours, and information about which callback functions are required for each of them.
behaviour_info() -> [Behaviour]
Behaviour = atom()
Returns a list of the behaviours defined in Erlang/OTP.
gen_server and
gen_event are examples of behaviours.
behaviour_info(Behaviour) -> [Function]
Behaviour = atom()
Function = {Name, Arity}
Name = atom()
Arity = int()
A behaviour calls a number of functions in the callback
module. The functions that a callback module has to export
are returned by this function.
Behaviour is the same
as returned from the
behaviour_info/0 function.
make_script(ReleaseName) -> MakeRet
make_script(ReleaseName,Opts) -> MakeRet
ReleaseName = string()
Opts = [{path, Path} | silent

A boot script file is generated from the
ReleaseName.rel file. The
ReleaseName.boot files are generated. The
release file contains a specification of the version of the
release, and the name and version of the applications that
are included.
The script generator searches the normal code server path
for the
ReleaseName.rel file and the application
ApplicationName.app. A path
{path, Path}
can be specified and appended to the code server
path. Each directory in
Path can be given with the
* ( * is the only wildcard recognized). A
directory given with wildcards is expanded to all matching
* is translated to "any character except
/". If
/*/ is specified -
* is the only
character given between two
/ characters - the
corresponding regular expression is
[^/]+ and it
represents a directory.
The compiled Erlang modules should be located in the same
directory as the
.app file. The function searches for
the source code in the corresponding
src or
src/e_src directory if the directory name of the
.app file directory ends with
Otherwise, it searches for the source code in the
.app file directory.
The correctness of each application is checked. The following checks are performed:
The boot script is generated if all checks are satisfactory. The applications are loaded and started in the order specified in the release file. The exception to this order are dependencies between applications as specified in the application files. These dependencies specify that applications on which other applications depend must be started first.
If the
no_module_tests option is specified, the
module version and object code checks are excluded. This
implies that a boot script can be generated without the
requirement that each
.app file must be located in
the same directory as the modules which belong to the
The checks performed before the boot script is generated
can be extended with some rudimentary cross reference checks
by specifying the
exref option. These checks are
performed with the
exref tool. All modules specified
in the application resource files are loaded into the
exref tool. A warning is generated for each call to
an undefined function, but only explicit function calls are
checked. No cross reference checks are performed if the
exref option is specified in combination with the
no_module_tests option.
As the cross reference checks can be heavy, the set of
modules to be checked can be limited. The
[AppName]} option specifies the applications in which
modules should be cross referenced checked. One warning only
is generated for each application whenever calls are found
to functions in applications which are not cross reference
The generated boot script contains a search path to all included applications. By default, all directories in the path are relative to the installation directory of the Erlang runtime system which uses the boot script.
variables option can be used to specify an
installation directory other than the Erlang installation
directory for user provided applications. If the option
{variables, [{"TEST","/home/xxx/applications"}]} is
supplied, all applications found underneath this directory
will have
$TEST substituted in place of the
directory. The variable substitution mechanism needs
absolute paths. Therefore, the paths specified (either in
the code server path, or with the
path option) must
be absolute. The following example illustrates this:
/home/xxx/applications/type1/app1/ebin /app2/ebin type2/app3/ebin app4/ebin
The boot script is generated as:
systools:make_script(RelName, [{path,["/home/xxx/applications/*/ebin"]}, {variables,[{"TEST","/home/xxx/applications"}]}])
In the generated boot script, the path looks as follows for
the applications
app1 -
[... "$TEST/type1/app1-Vsn/ebin", "$TEST/type1/app2-Vsn/ebin", "$TEST/type2/app3-Vsn/ebin", "$TEST/app4-Vsn/ebin"]
When starting the system with the generated boot script, the
TEST variable is given a value using the
Var Value command line flag. In the previous example,
Var is
TEST and
Value is the name of
the directory where these applications are installed. The
-boot_var flag is described for the
local option can also be used to change the default
path as well. If the
local option is supplied, the
path includes the actual directories where the applications
were found. This is a useful way to test a generated boot
script locally.
machine option can be used to generate a boot
script for an Erlang machine other than the running machine.
This is important when checking the object code, as the file
extension can differ between the machines (for example
By default, this function writes all errors and warnings to
the tty and returns

relup file is generated which describes how to
upgrade the system from a number of previous releases, and
also how to downgrade from a number of previous releases.
relup file is built by gathering all the
application release upgrade scripts and picking those
applicable for each combination of release versions. The
scripts are also translated from high level release
instructions to low level instructions. The normal code
server path is searched for release files
ReleaseName.rel) and application files

upgrade scripts files (
ApplicationName.appup). The
ApplicationName.app and
files must be in the same directory. The code server path
can be appended with a path specified with the

Path can contain wildcards (*) as
described for the
make_script function.
ReleaseName.rel file must be available for each
UpName and
DownName since the versions of the
applications are compared. For each change in the
application versions, there must be an entry in the
Application.appup file.
The optional
Description parameter which can be
supplied to either of the input name lists is passed to the
correct output script in the
relup file. The
parameter defaults to the empty list

applications that have changed between the two release
By default, this function writes the relup script to a file
relup and all errors and warnings to the tty
and returns
ok or

function returns
{ok, Relup, Module, Warnings} or
{error, Module, Error} instead, where
Relup is
the structure written to the
relup file. The Warnings
and Errors can be converted to strings with the
Module:format_warning(Warning) and
Module:format_error(Error) functions. If the
noexec option is supplied, then nothing is written to
relup file and the function returns one of the
verbose return values.
If the
restart_emulator option is supplied, the
low-level instruction
restart_new_emulator is appended
to the relup scripts. This ensures that a complete reboot of
the system is done when the system is upgraded or downgraded.

activated, using the
By default, the generated release package contains a
directory under the
lib directory for each included
application. Each application directory is named
ApplicationName-ApplicationVsn. For each application,
ebin and
priv directories are included.
These directories are copied from where the applications
were found. If more directories are needed, it is possible
to specify these with the
{dirs,Dirs} option. For
example, if the src and example directories should be
included for each application in the release package, the
{dirs,[src,examples]} option should be supplied.
variables option can be used to specify an
installation directory other than the Erlang installation
directory for the user provided applications. If the
[{"TEST","/home/xxx/applications"}]} is supplied, all
applications found underneath this directory will be packed
into the
TEST.tar.gz file. Accordingly, a separate
package is created for each defined variable. By default,
all these files are included at the top level in the
ReleaseName.tar.gz file and should be unpacked to an
appropriate installation directory. The
VarTar} option can be used to specify if and where a
separate package should be stored. In this option,
VarTar is:
include. Each separate (variable) package
is included in the main
file. This is the default.
ownfile. Each separate (variable) package
is generated as separate files in the same directory as

Path can contain wildcards (*) as described
for the
make_script function.
machine option can be used to generate a release
package file for an Erlang machine other than the running
machine. This ensures that object code files with the
expected file extension are included in the package, for
.beam files.
A directory called
releases/RelVsn is also included
in the release package. The release version
RelVsn is
found in the release package. This directory contains the
boot script (
ReleaseName.boot copied to

Strong safety Yeremiah Bell admittedly expected bad news from the NFL this week. Nobody thought anything about Marc Colombo getting the news instead.
But that is precisely what happened Friday when Bell was not fined by the NFL, but the Miami offensive right tackle was fined $7,500 for hitting an opponent late and getting an unnecessary roughness penalty agains the Chiefs last Sunday.
Bell finished Sunday's victory over Kansas City with a trio of penalties -- a personal foul for a hit along the sideline, an unnecessary roughness for a hit out of bounds and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for some post play chippiness with a Kansas City player.
The number of flags and the hit would almost certainly translate to a fine, Bell thought.
Bell thought wrong. The NFL tells me Bell has not been fined.
Colombo, meanwhile, plowed into his opponent late after a running play. Yes, it drew a flag and drew the fine today.

Without quick action by Congress to continue and amend the existing Helium Act (50 U.S.C. §167), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has indicated it will be forced to stop selling helium from the U.S. reserve, a major domestic source of this gas. In order to cease trading by October 7, 2013, BLM will need to empty the pipeline, close compressors, and implement other "shutdown" procedures commencing September 15, 2013. Although refiners may be able to extend that date to September 20 or 25, because of a coincidental interruption from a major commercial helium supplier, any September shutdown by BLM will have a dramatic and dire effect on the U.S. supply.
The consequences would be severe on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) market, and by extension there will be consequences for healthcare providers. Maximum global manufacturing capacity of helium is estimated at 240 million liters per year (20 million liters/month). The manufacturers of MRIs are estimated to purchase approximately 36 million liters of helium per year (3 million liters/month).
Current production problems have restricted output to roughly 175 million liters per year (14.5 million per month), or approximately 70% of manufacturing capacity. Because some industries have been able to substitute other gases or have found better ways to use the gas (e.g., gas chromatography switches to hydrogen and welding to argon), industrial consumers have been able to cope with global production at 70% of capacity.
Healthcare providers, including hospitals, will likely be impacted by the further constriction in supply. Of the estimated 36 million liters per year of helium purchased by MRI manufacturers under current conditions, it is estimated that at least 15–16 million liters per year of those purchases is used to service MRI scanners in hospitals. If BLM stops production in September and there is a major reduction of global capacity under the scenario outlined above, less helium will be available for all purposes, including MRI maintenance. In the worst case scenario, it is likely that hospitals would have to reduce or cease providing MRI scanning services temporarily.
If an MRI scanner is shut off due to a lack of helium, "warming it up" when helium supply becomes available again is not as simple as filling it up, flicking the switch, and resuming operation. It is a very complex start-up process. There is a risk that hospital MRIs may be offline for a long period of time, requiring months for health providers to catch up with the prescribed care that has been delayed.

Southampton Town Councilman Christopher R. Nuzzi plans to challenge incumbent Suffolk Legis. Jay H. Schneiderman for his seat, opening up the town supervisor's race for a potential third battle between Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and former Supervisor Linda Kabot.
Nuzzi screened in front of the Southampton Republican Committee last week for the county legislative post.
Because of a term limit as a councilman, Nuzzi had considered a run for supervisor against Throne-Holst, of the Independence Party.
Nuzzi, a Westhampton Beach Republican, said he wants to deal with the county's financial issues, put more money toward environmental preservation and use the county seat as a "bully pulpit" against mandates from the state and federal governments.
"On a personal level, I like Jay," he said. "That doesn't mean he's doing the job that's necessary for residents."
Schneiderman, an Independence Party member from Montauk who caucuses with Democrats, said he wants to serve a sixth and final term under term limits to see through projects such as road widening on the East End and to continue protecting open space.
He criticized Nuzzi's plan to keep his private-sector job with a title company.
"This job, to me, is a full-time job," Schneiderman said of his legislative seat. "It's more than a full-time job. This district deserves a full-time legislator."
Nuzzi said having a job outside of government is a good thing and he's always devoted ample time to his elected post.
Democrats hold a slight edge over Republicans in Suffolk's 2nd District, according to the Suffolk County Board of Elections.
With Nuzzi going for the county seat, that leaves two GOP candidates who screened last month for supervisor -- Kabot and businessman James Sanford, of Sag Harbor, who is making his first bid for office.
Kabot said her two losses to Throne-Holst were tainted. In 2009, as the incumbent supervisor, she was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence weeks before the election. After the election, a jury acquitted her. In 2011, she ran a write-in campaign against Throne-Holst after Republicans failed to field a candidate on the ballot. She received more than one-third of the votes.
"I don't consider myself a loser," she said. "I consider myself a winner."
Sanford, who bought his house in Sag Harbor in 2005 and made that his primary residence in 2010, said he wanted to get involved in local politics after the last presidential election, with the goal of limiting the growth of government. Sanford, 44, who worked on Wall Street, owns an investment advisory service.

I thought the concept of "ruler" started with King Arthur, after a watery tart lobbed a scimitar at him.
Bah. Farcical aquatic ceremonies are no basis for a system of measurement.
Use of the number line is derived from a mandate of the masses. Everyone knows that.
I need to know the "watery tart lobbing scimitars" to miles conversion. The other day they was an asteroid the size of a strange woman distributing swords that burned up over California.
I need to know the "watery tart lobbing scimitars" to miles conversion.
Unfortunately there's not a constant conversion, since the number of watery tarts lobbing scimitars per mile varies with geographical location.

Try getting a bunch of 10-year-olds to understand the number line concept and you will find out in approximately 3 seconds that it is not innate.
If your 10 year old doesn't ALREADY understand the number line, you have failed. Hell, if your 6 year old doesn't understand it, you've failed.
-1 Completely misunderstanding the point of the article and comment.
I teach math to six year olds once a week. They "get" the number line, in that they use it as a useful tool for calculation, and can understand how numbers equate to divisions on the paper. Is it innate? Probably not. Is it something that many six year olds in the US culture have? From my experience, yes.
When my kids started school, they had to be taught how to use number lines, number grids for multiplication, how to divide by 2 and so on, just as much as they had to be taught how to read. None of it is innate, as far as I can see.
If your 10 year old doesn't ALREADY understand the number line, you have failed. Hell, if your 6 year old doesn't understand it, you've failed.
Then I guess I failed. My seven year old son is at the top of his 2nd grade class in math. Be he was doing the number line exercise in Khan Academy [khanacademy.org] about two weeks ago, and he needed some help. Once I explained the concept, and gave him a few examples, he "got it", and was able to do the exercises. But it was not intuitive. He needed an explanation.
Well, numbers are abstract. I'm not sure how a number line representation, which can take real shape would be an intuitive extension of an artificial concept. It isn't. Actually, it's the other way around, I would think. The number lines help us understand numbers and it's numbers that aren't intuitive.
The way that people figured this out is that if five hunters go into a forest as a group, split up and hide. Then one by one, four hunters leave one at a time. The fifth hunter stays in hiding, the monkeys come out of hunting, and the hunter shoots a monkey. This does not happen when there are less than five hunters initially.
I should hope not: if there are four hunters initially, then one by one four hunters leave, there are no hunters left to shoot the monkey. And if there are 3 or fewer hunters initially than the scenario's impossible.
"And if there are 3 or fewer hunters initially than the scenario's impossible."
Not if, after all 4 leave, at least 2 go back.
Not if there're male and female hunters in the group...
That is a seriously long wait.
There was this bald monkey coming out, screaming in his monkey language: "There... Are... Four... Hunters!"
And then, he died. Apparently a bad day to wear his red shirt.
It was actually "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!"
Thats not necessarily even counting on the monkeys behalf. A lot of neuroscientists reckon we can process about 4 separate things in our mind simultaneously , and then use a variety of clever tricks to work around it (Ie counting!) and if that stretches across species. So conciably the monkeys are just at their limit of how many dudes they can track at once, rather than an inability to count beyond 4.

I think it depends on the sort of processing you need to do with those things and how long you have to do it:

I wonder how far this goes! Is the notion of the counting numbers innate?
Counting exact numbers is not innate. There are some cultures that don't have words for an exact number beyond 3. That doesn't mean they don't understand quantities, just that they can't name a specific amount. It'd be like if somone showed you a thousand of something, and 1100 of something. You'd know the 1100 was more, but you wouldn't be certain by exactly how much more.
There are studies that show the "natural" conception of numbers is one, two, many, a lot.
http://numberwarrior.wordpress.com/2010/07/30/is-one-two-many-a-myth/ [wordpress.com]
You can search the real literature if you'd like; that was one of the first hits I found. Once you can teach your kids to count beyond 5, they've already beaten most of humanity.
Any measuring cup will tell you a number line can be very intuitive. Stacking objects, filling a container; many everyday tasks are perfect physical examples of a number line.
Rulers are another example, though perhaps a bit less physical or intuitive.
I'm inclined not to believe your oversimplification. I remember elementary school math, with whole chapters devoted to teaching the number line. Concepts such as greater/less, constant distance, visual estimation, and numberless comparisons are, or were, part of what gets taught in a school setting.
If you don't have the concept of a number line already, is it really that intuitive to stack 1 cup on top of another and consider it a measurement rather than an amount? Stacking things and coming up with a ruler based on that stacking seem like they are fairly distinct concepts, that one won't lead to the other.
Show me a culture that doesn't have the concept of ordered sets -- which is all that a "number line" is.
And, no, I don't mean the fancy mathematical formalism. I mean things like narratives, directions from A to B, etc.
Those things can be ordered in time without being mapped to space.
(Especially if you don't have written language yet.)
If you read the article, you'll see that the subjects of the study do understand order, but that they lack the intuition of another property of the number line that you are so accustomed to that you're not aware of it. When asked to place numbers from 1 to 10 in order, control subjects (from the US) produce an arrangement like this:
The people of the Yupno Valley tend to do something more like this:
A number line has more than order; it also has equal spacing. That idea seems not to be innate.
I'm not sure if they've fixed it yet, but the defaults for line charts in MS Excel were insanely set to have equal spacing between data points on one axis no matter what values they have.
That's what happens when you take the programmer who worked on Windows progress bars and tell him to use his talents on Excel graphs.
The line charts use the x-values as labels only. The scatter plots interpret the x-values as quantities. That's why both exist in Excel.
Show me a culture that doesn't have the concept of ordered sets -- which is all that a "number line" is.
No, the number line has a metric in addition to an ordering.
There's a sort of hierarchy of these things, but I never can remember the terminology.
Intuitive? Watch a toddler try and fill a cup from a jug sometime.
A toddler trying to fill a bathtub from a jug gives just about the same result.
Do you intuitively know what a continent is? If you said yes, post a reply then check out What are Continents? [youtube.com] - then post another reply to that.
As to the measuring cup example: if a number line is so intuitive to a measuring cups, why are so many sets of unmarked 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup measuring cups sold? After all, shouldn't anyone just need a 1 cup measuring cup? For that matter, why need tablespoons and teaspoons? After all, a tablespoon is merely 1/16 of a cup and a teaspoon is 1/48
the single-measure cups are for scooping the right amount of dry material directly out of a bag, especially flour. in fact, that's what they are called: dry measuring cups.
not only is it much more convenient (have you ever tried to pour flour?), but flour volumes in recipes are based on it being loosely-packed, which is easier if you just scoop it.
Hawaiian has a radial notion of location: makai, towards the sea, mauka, away from the sea. Rotational direction is expressed as toward one of a few key shore points.
Similarly, if I recall correctly, there's a Native American language that uses before and behind as an analog for time but the other way around to most languages. Their analogy is that you know the past and you can see what it in front of you so forward = the past. You can't see behind you and you don't know the future so behind = the future
Yes, that may well have been...

I don't have the reference to hand but I recall there is a South American tribe which don't have words for left and right as most languages do.
I don't think left & right are very intuitive. For most of my life I had to stop, close my eyes, imagine the plane of symmetry of my body, and ask myself which side of the plane something was on.
Of course, that may have just been a cognitive disorder, rather than in indication that the distinction is unintuitive. Either way, I finally outgrew it.
Once a significant percentage of the population becomes interested in measuring pieces of land for various purposes, people will start associating numbers to lines.
Because the amount of food is proportional to the surface of your land, and then... I personally feel it's quite natural, in this context, to associate numbers to geometrical constructs.
... because I use complex numbers for everything, you insensitive clod. Don't you have any feelings for the one dimensionally-challenged?
'eh The complex numbers are (one) logical extension of the real number system (aka 'number line'). Can't have a complex plane without two real number lines.
I imagine that a thickness gauge (which is what is *really* intuitive in the measuring-cup example) or a color-gauge would be more intuitive. The critical point here is that thicker is "more" and thinner is "less". Even with colors you can have "more red" or "less red". Numbers are a higher-form thought process. When dealing with a line system, your general intention is to gauge this same "more or less" comparions, but is abstracted through numbers which is based on a complex thought process of reading and
In earlier research, Nunez found that the Aymara of the Andes seem to do the reverse, placing the past in front and the future behind.
I've worked for a number of PHBs who seemed content with the future sneaking up behind them and smacking them in the back of the skull.
In the original task, people are shown a line and are asked to place numbers onto the line according to their size, with "1" going on the left endpoint and "10" (or sometimes "100" or "1000") going on the right endpoint.
Go to a class of college students in america, ask them to mark 10, 1 million, and 1 billion on a line, and 99% of them will draw 1 million closer to 1 billion. Usually a lot closer.
I read the article, and it wasn't clear to me what these people have discovered. Maybe I'll have to read the actual study. Or maybe anthropologists are better at understanding primitive cultures than their own.
Are you sure? Is there a study?
That just doesn't seem obviously true (or false) to me. It's somewhat justifiable on a logarithmic axis too.
I don't know why this result is surprising. I thought it was generally understand that counting (there are 10 sheep) and measurement (this fence is 10 feet long) were distinct concepts. The point of the number line is to establish a relationship between the two concepts.
Come to think of it, it should be obvious that a number line relates two distinct concepts, just from the form they usually take. A number line, with its regularly spaced markings perpendicular to the main line, has a form similar to that of a line graph, which shows a relationship between two distinct variables.
Oddly enough, I was telling my girlfriend just tonight that I'm not very visual, and tend to approach concepts best through symbols (numbers, words, etc.) I've always found graphical representations of math more-or-less useless (although they are cool sometimes) and prefer my math without the diagrams. She told me that I'm deeply weird.
My little brother was having problems with vector math. So, I threw together a vector visualiser in my game engine, and illustrated basic vector primitives, and operations. Within 15 minutes of moving them around on the screen and seeing the values and vectors change he understood normalising, and dot and cross products, as well as trigonomic primitives like sine and cosine, and tangent. I showed him how dot products are used to cull faces in games, and in lighting equations, and how cross products make
Neither is reading. Human beings evolved to see "in the round" and not in focused linear scans. When we were children, both my sister and I went through periods when we were just learning to write where we wrote everything "exactly" backwards, like a mirror image. And, it wasn't all the time. We both outgrew it very quickly, but I'm sure it's been studied by some -ologist out there.
as well as number form and personification. Numbers - depending on if they are simply numbers or dates - have a specific "geography", color, and personality.
I once took a course in "Math philosophy" (a simple introduction course, with e.g. Gödel numbers, introduction to infinity, and things like that), and at the end of that course we were asked to write about something. I decided to ask friends about how they viewed numbers. To my surprise, everyone had pretty much their own unique way. I think I asked about 10 people. Some viewed numbers as colors ("the number 2 is of course blue" or something along that line), some viewed the numbers as on a traditional line, one guy thought of the numbers as being in a circle and you took one out as you wanted to use it and then had to put it back. Not everyone included the number zero (or negative numbers) in their explanation. My self, I see the natural numbers on a line, but the line has "angles" at the numbers 10 and 20. Perhaps this is because in my native language, the spoken words for 10..19 are not constructed in the same simple manner as 30..39, 40..49, and so on.
And how many thought in binary? Although I don't count every day in binary (the indoctrination into the decimal system is almost impossible to avoid in the Western world), I often catch myself finding binary patterns and thinking about things in a binary way (and if someone asks me to remember a number, the best way is to try to calculate its binary expression - the calculation and the resulting string fix into my memory a lot easier). Hell, when I run out of fingers counting in decimal, it's easier for m
We don't stop to wonder: Is it 'natural'? Is it cultural?
'Cultural' is natural for us humans, so it is a daft question. A better question would be to ask whether this is something we are most likely to have learned through our early experience - and how. And I think the answer is likely to be that we learn the idea of "moreness" being a continuous thing from observing varying amounts of things - water in a glass etc, or the length of a piece of string; these concepts are clearly learned as and when you learn the words to describe them - ie. it is 'cultural'.
But many - maybe most - animals have the ability to gauge the relative size of things, and some, like the corvids - even seem able to count. Thus that would count as a 'natural' ability, I suppose.
The case with the Yupno seems to be that measurements aren't needed in their culture; one can muse over where that need arises from - it could be a result of trade, perhaps?
I read the article pointed to in the summary (which is a summary of the scholarly article). The study authors seem to have confused the idea that finding a single population that behaves this way (not arranging piles of oranges linearly along a line according to the number of oranges in a pile) with determining true innate human behavior. Find another dozen isolated groups, and then maybe. Find groups that have been only recently isolated and it will be more impressive.
If you grew up with the metric system you might not realize that common measurements used to be based on supposedly common items, so you had measurements dealing with what a man could hold with his arms around it, and the length of the King's erect cock or whatever. It's a natural advance to go from measuring things in terms of a fingertip to so many fingertip-units. I imagine it would have started with measuring distance, but it could as easily have been someone figuring it out by volume, this container holds so many of that container. Or this stick rolls over x times when it passes down the side of this object.
I've got a bad feeling about this.

FREDONIA, N.Y. - SUNY Fredonia will welcome Dr. Sandra McCune to campus on Friday, Feb. 8.
She is currently head of Human-Animal Interaction Research at the WALTHAM Centre for Pet Nutrition in Leicestershire, England. She will speak in Room 204 of the Williams Center at 2 p.m., giving a presentation titled, "Pet ownership and its impact on health, development and well-being."
As the Human-Animal Interaction Scientific Leader at WALTHAM, Dr. McCune manages a large portfolio of research projects across many aspects of HAI globally. She is also the scientific lead on the public-private partnership Mars-WALTHAM has formed with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, one of the National Institutes of Health in the U.S.

WALTHAM focuses on the nutrition and well being of dogs, cats, horses, birds and fish and the benefits of their relationship with humans.
Dr. Nancy Gee, a psychology professor at SUNY Fredonia, is a colleague of Dr. McCune. Both share the research interest of human interaction with animals. Dr. Gee's research has primarily focused on how dogs affect the cognitive and motor skills of pre-school children.
"My research with children has shown that the presence of a well-trained therapy dog has a number of positive effects on children while they are performing cognitive (e.g., memory or categorization) or motor skills (e.g., running an obstacle course) tasks," Gee said. "Preschoolers require fewer instructional prompts, have better memory and make fewer task-related errors. These findings combine to indicate that when a well-trained dog is properly incorporated into these types of tasks, children show improved focus and motivation."
Gee and McCune plan to explore the possibility of a future collaboration. McCune has been part of varied human-interaction research projects throughout her career. Most recent collaborations have revealed that the presence of a pet at home resulted in lower blood pressure in elderly adults. Other work has shown an animal-assisted classroom intervention with autistic children and their typically developing peers showed improvements in social functioning, including increases in social approach behaviors, decreases in social withdrawal behaviors and increases in social skills for all children.
Having earned a Ph.D. from Cambridge University, McCune has worked for WALTHAM since 1993. Her primary areas of study include cat behavior and welfare. In addition, McCune has studied zoology with an emphasis on physiology at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.

nice. if it's all original, it appears to be a basic GL with the Dual range and centerlamp, so it should have the 1800 EA81 Engine...
look right to the left of the distributor for the engine model stamp...
and that would be paint code 45, Torreador Red...
Nice woody kit too...

The Inspiration Given by the Successful Practice of Development of Higher Vocational Education in the Developed Countries
Higher vocational education is the product of economic development, scientific and technological progress. If the country does not have a well-developed vocational education, it is impossible to make a good advanced science and technology into productive forces, it is also impossible to achieve economy development in a high speed. In turn, powers the global economy, there must be a successful higher vocational education as a support .Study on the successful experience of the development of higher vocational education in the United States, Japan, Germany, Australia and other developed countries can give us useful lessons.

Man gets 35 years in murder-for-hire case
This article was published January 4, 2013 at 11:36 a.m.
LITTLE ROCK A man who pleaded guilty in a murder-for-hire scheme that resulted in the death of his son-in-law has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Second Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Scott Ellington said in a statement that Carl D. Kelley was sentenced Friday in Craighead County Circuit Court.
Kelley, who entered a guilty plea last year to a charge of first-degree murder, was one of four people arrested in the August 2011 death of real estate investor and appraiser Marc Despain. Two of the others — Terrance Barker and Johnny Hubbard — have already entered guilty pleas. The fourth, Kelley's daughter and Despain's wife, Michelle Despain, is due in court later this month for a pretrial hearing.
"Hubbard introduced Kelley to Barker, who acted as the trigger man in the murder," Ellington's office said in a statement. "Kelley is also accused of driving Barker to Despain's home and letting him inside the residence to murder his son-in-law."
Barker pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last year and was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Hubbard pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of hindering apprehension and received an 18-year sentence, though he must also serve a previous drug conviction of 40 years because his probation was revoked.
