I just read a rather frustrating conversation between Sabine Hossenfelder and Moshe Rozali at Backreaction. Moshe, an associate professor at UBC in Canada, is trying to explain, in a typical Moshe-like excessively polite way, that Sabine, a postdoc, is making a rather elementary mistake that makes pretty much all papers that she has ever written nonsensical.
He tries to encourage her to be less sloppy. Sabine is apparently convinced that an angel guarantees that she can't be wrong and refuses to understand very clear, indisputable, and sometimes really transparent statements and arguments, indicating that she thinks that she is "teaching" Moshe new things. ;-(
Discovering new physics by misprints
Sabine believes in all kinds of unmotivated and almost certainly impossible distortions associated with the Planck scale. And she is not the only one, for that matter: there are many people similar to Giovanni Amelino-Camelia or Jack Ng. One textbook example is a "lower bound on the wavelength" (see the comments under her article) that she seems to consider as a fact. Needless to say, there can't exist any lower bound on the wavelength. Why? Because any wavelength is related to any other wavelength by a boost - by a Lorentz transformation that is a symmetry of Nature (and of quantum gravity, at least in the flat space superselection sectors of the Hilbert space).
The fact that there can't exist things such as a "lower bound on the wavelength" has been known at least since 1905 when Einstein realized that one inertial observer will see a different frequency than another observer who is moving with respect to the first one. Have you heard of time dilation or the Doppler shift? Because both observers have the same rights, according to the special relativistic bill of rights, both values of the frequency or the wavelength are equally good, too.
Special relativity has become a pillar of general relativity and general relativity is one of the components of a theory of quantum gravity. You can't just throw away the insights of 1905. They are alive and kicking. In particular, it is impossible for one value of the wavelength to be allowed and another value of the wavelength to be forbidden.
Lorentz symmetry might be broken but there doesn't really exist a glimpse of evidence or motivation why it should be broken. Such a breaking might be studied as a possibility, to some extent, but it would cause many problems, it would most likely return us philosophically before 1905, and the people who say that such a breaking is needed in quantum gravity are clearly wrong because string theory satisfies all the required properties of quantum gravity but it also respects the Lorentz invariance in flat space.
This symmetry doesn't mean that the curved geometry including the backreaction has a Lorentz isometry. It means that one can create a Lorentz-boosted configuration (including the curved geometry) for every initial configuration and they obey the same laws. If one curved spacetime solves the equations, the boosted spacetime solves them, too. Moreover, the boost doesn't change the asymptotic geometry of the flat space which is why the symmetry acts inside the same superselection sector - a fact that makes the symmetry really useful.
Quantum gravitational limits on the minimum length apply to the internal structure of bound states (you can't probe the internal architecture of matter too accurately if your probes are extended) but they cannot apply to the wavelength of one photon or graviton. The very same comments are true about the uncertainties. If there are inherent Planckian uncertainties in the measurement of distances, they apply to the internal geometry of a physical system but not to the center-of-mass position of the whole physical system embedded into flat space - an observable that behaves just like it behaved in non-gravitational physics.
The latter point is also easily seen: the center-of-mass degrees of freedom are complementary to the total momentum (that can have any values, by Lorentz invariance). If you simply Fourier-transform the wavefunction in the momentum variables (that must exist), you obtain the wavefunction in the position variables, just like you always did. Gravity doesn't change anything about this procedure. The objects themselves include the curved space around their mass distributions but this is just a detailed description of the identity of these objects. The symmetry doesn't disappear.
Vague, universal symbols
I was trying to understand why these trivial points are so enormously difficult for many people who claim to be interested in quantum gravity. My best explanation is that they interpret symbols in a sloppy way. What do I mean?
Take a sexy female alternative physicist with a male voice, as a beloved TRF reader has pointed out ;-), for example Dr Louise Riofrio. What is her most important equation? Well, it is GM=tc^3. Now, many readers haven't heard about this famous equation but let us study its meaning and the psychology behind it. :-)
The first comment I would say is that Louise - much like most amateur physicists - use symbols for observables without paying too much attention what these observables actually mean. So when she writes "M", it is supposed to be a universal "M" (mass) across the Universe. In the same way, "t" is a universal time that is also accepted everywhere. Louise doesn't have to explain her formula, its origin, and its interpretation in detail: the formula itself is a holy word.
Most readers might know that the universal quantities appearing in her formula don't exist. There are many different masses in the world (for example the mass of an elephant or a cow), many different times (each observer in relativity has a different way to measure times, and she can still measure the duration between any two events she likes), and moreover, the laws of physics are local and describe particular objects or regions of space so you should better avoid relations between the mass of the whole Universe and other "global" quantities because they are almost guaranteed to be violated. Even if you are lucky and your private relationship is not violated, it is not too useful because it would only relate or predict one or two quantities in a Universe with effectively infinitely many degrees of freedom.
Now, if you could explain the previous paragraph to Dr Louise Riofrio, she would suddenly understand not only why her equation is wrong but why her whole method of thinking and "discovering new physics" is wrong. I guess you won't succeed in this magnificent pedagogical task. ;-)
The case of Sabine Hossenfelder is pretty much isomorphic but letters like "G, M, t, c" are replaced by "delta x, E, p". Once again, in Sabine's setup, there is a universal "delta x" in the Cosmos, much like a universal energy "E" or momentum "p". And they must be subjects to similar, Hossenfelderian laws of physics. What the laws can be if you have three or four letters to play with?
Well, there can be a relationship between "E" and "p". But the simple one, the relativistic dispersion relation, has already been found by Einstein so Sabine and similar fans of physics inevitably decide to write a different one. They must modify the old one. Because they call themselves "quantum gravity physicists", they write down a random formula incorporating the Planck scale.
Just to be sure, rationally speaking, there is absolutely no reason, evidence, or justification for someone to modify the relativistic dispersion relation. All the alternative formulae are unmotivated and, as far as we can say today, probably incompatible with a consistent theory resembling general relativity in an appropriate limit. All known advanced theories to describe anything in the world are compatible with the good old dispersion relation and all useful or promising modified relations we have seen may be interpreted in terms of a spontaneous symmetry breaking, starting from the old ones.
And to write new formulae just in order to find a new place where your Planck scale could occur is just plain silly; however, certain people are always more eager to incorporate random misprints and distortions into old equations than to consider the possibility that some of those could be necessary and exact. If you want to find something new, true, and important about theoretical physics, you should better look elsewhere. There are hundreds of other places where you could look and if you don't know them, it's too bad because you are really imagining that physics is about the "E=mc^2" written on the T-shirt. It's not.
The story about "delta x" is analogous. What laws can Sabine write down that would involve this universal "delta x"? Well, the symbol is similar to the symbols in quantum mechanics where the uncertainty principle is one of the most famous principles. But in quantum gravity, one can write a simpler inequality involving the Planck scale, namely "delta x > Planck length".
Suddenly, you can write eleven or more of (crappy, absurd, and virtually identical) papers about the "minimum length".
Now, the inequality is a fair qualitative idea that was written down decades ago, that you can keep in mind, and that you can "derive" by dimensional analysis. And it can have a serious meaning if you are extremely careful about the interpretation of "delta x". But that's not what Sabine wants to do. She wants this inequality to be a general law of physics that applies to all quantities that might deserve the symbol "delta x".
Needless to say, such a hypothesis is simply wrong.
The center-of-mass position of a physical system doesn't have any uncertainties of this kind. Objects that are embedded into an asymptotically flat (or other well-defined) space are "rooted" at infinity so tightly that uncertainties simply disappear. As explained above, the internal geometry can be and probably is uncertain but the center-of-mass position can't be limited by a new uncertainty principle. The center-of-mass degrees of freedom are the canonically dual quantities to the total momentum and the latter certainly does exist.
Analogously, new things appear when the energy exceeds the Planck energy but you must carefully interpret the term "the energy" in this sentence. For example, it can mean the total center-of-mass energy in a collision (and you start to create black holes when the energy is higher than that). If you only talk about the energy of one object or the energy measured in an arbitrary reference frame, there is clearly no new effect or transition (i.e. nothing special) near the Planck value, as guaranteed once again by the Lorentz symmetry.
But the new Einsteins usually don't care. They think that Einstein's main contribution is "E=mc^2" and they try to offer something analogous. Louise teaches us about her "GM=tc^3", Sabine teaches us "E = randomfunction(p, Planck scale)" and "delta x > Planck length", and both of them - and, frankly speaking, dozens of others - seem to think that this puts them at Einstein's or string theorists' level.
(Ms Hossenfelder declared on her blog that she has forgotten about her writings about random modifications and deformations of dispersion relations. See e.g. hep-th/0510245 where three variations of the silly idea, namely GUP, DSR, MDR, are even linked with each other. Ten more related papers can be accessed from the previous link.)
However, both Einstein as well as serious physicists today are using and must be using symbols very carefully. There is no room for a universal "E" or universal "p" or universal "delta x". In fact, both Einstein (the real one) and the contemporary serious physicists have been working, are working, and must be working with hundreds of various energies "E" and momenta "p" and uncertainties "delta x" and they must never forget how the particular quantities are defined and distinguished from each other - even if they have the same dimension.
The Devil is usually in the details.
I am afraid that this cognitive step - and, more generally, rigor - is just way too difficult for certain people. With their assumptions about the meaning of observables and the universal sketch of a task for new physicists, it is pretty much inevitable that they must end up with another incorrect equation or inequality relating ill-defined symbols. Do you want to help them in their research? What Louise or Sabine want you to tell them is how they should modify the shape of the wooden earphones.
Louise would be excited if you told her about a new relationship between "G" and "M" - for example, she was thrilled when I translated her equation into the Planck units :-) (M=t) - and Sabine would think that you are a constructive physicist if you proposed another but equally absurd "vacuum" dispersion relation between "E" and "p" or if you derived a new incorrect consequence of her incorrect assumptions about "E", "p", or "delta x".
It is unfortunately much harder to explain them that they are doing something really stupid with the very method how they use their brains. It is much harder to liberate them from their extremely naive and narrow mental boxes. It is much harder to explain them that they could be perhaps making variations of the same elementary mistake all the time. It is hard to convince them that if they tried a little bit harder and restricted their excessive arrogance and unjustifiable self-confidence, they could perhaps learn some new things and fix their old misunderstandings.
And that's the memo.

Citizen Kane
Original Theatrical Date: May 1, 1941
- Best Original Screenplay
Orson Welles' masterwork (#1 in the American Film Institute's list of Best American Movies) remains grand entertainment, sharply acted (starring many of Welles' Mercury Players on the road to thriving film careers) and directed with inspired visual flair.
Chronicling the stormy life of an influential publishing tycoon, this "Best Original Screenplay" Academy Award winner is rooted in themes of power, corruption, vanity—the American Dream lost in the mystery of a dying man's last word: "Rosebud."
A classic to this day, Citizen Kane has only grown in stature since its release, although it wasn't exactly ignored at the time of its 1941 premiere, garnering nine Oscar nominations, including "Best Picture."

WILMINGTON, N.C. (May 20, 2010) - After taking a step forward during second round play in the NCAA Championships on Wednesday, ETSU sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) took a step back during the third round action Thursday at the Country Club of Landfall.
Muehl struggled through a round that included two bogeys and a triple bogey and finished at 8-over-par 80, dropping her from a tie for 58th to a tie for 96th on the leaderboard.
"Nina had a rough start today, but kept her head up and battled throughout," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "She was unhappy with the end result and the fact that her birdie putts just weren't falling today. Everybody has these days though, and she is ready to come out tomorrow and finish on a high note."
The start was the difference for Muehl on Thursday, as she opened with a double and triple bogey on holes 10 and 11 to start the day at 5-over-par right out of the gate. She finished the rest of the day at 3-over.
Fourth and final round action in the NCAAs is set for Friday. Fans can stay up-to-date by clicking on Golfstat.com for live scoring, or visit ETSUBucs.com at the conclusion of play for a complete wrap up.

How We Know About the Sun
Because the Sun is so important to us, we want to know as much about it as possible. But the Sun is too bright to look at, and too hot and fiery and far away to visit. How do scientists learn about the Sun?
Outer space is a good place to study the Sun. Far away from the dust and moisture of Earth's atmosphere, astronauts use special cameras to take pictures of the Sun.
Space probes travel millions of miles into space—farther than any astronaut could ever go. The space probe SOHO was specially designed to study the Sun's surface, temperature, and brightness.
Almost 400 years ago, the Italian scientist Galileo built his own telescopes to study the sky. Galileo discovered that the Sun rotates, or spins, and that its surface is dotted with sunspots. He learned more about the Sun, the Moon, and other planets than anyone before him.
Today, scientists study the Sun using huge telescopes like the McMath Solar Telescope in Arizona. This telescope doesn't look much like the one Galileo used or like the ones you may have at home or school, does it? The McMath Solar Telescope uses mirrors to reflect light from the Sun, so scientists can safely study its images. Even scientists don't look directly at the Sun.
- atmosphere:
- The air that surrounds the Earth.
- telescope:
- A telescope is a tool that helps people see things that are far away. Telescopes are made of curved pieces of glass or mirrors inside a tube. People can use them to look at stars.
- What does the space probe SOHO study?
[anno: The space probe SOHO studies the Sun's surface, temperature, and brightness.]
- Why is it easier to study the Sun from space?
[anno: It is easier to study the Sun from space because there is no dust or moisture blocking the view of the Sun.]
- Why do you think scientists study the Sun?
[anno: Answers will vary. Students may suggest that scientists study the Sun to know more about how old the Sun is, how powerful the Sun is, and whether the Sun is changing.]

The most common type of breast cancer starts in the lining of the breast ducts and is called ductal carcinoma. Breast cancer that has not spread outside these ducts is called intraductal breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ. This type of cancer is noninvasive breast cancer. When breast cancer is noninvasive, it has not spread to other parts of the body. Noninvasive breast cancer is often cured with surgery, although other treatments may be recommended.
Invasive ductal carcinoma has spread outside the breast ducts. Invasive breast cancer may be treated with surgery, sometimes together with radiation. Treatment for invasive breast cancer may also include chemotherapy or hormonal therapy.
When breast cancer spreads, cancer cells may also be found in the lymph nodes in the armpit. These lymph nodes are called axillary lymph nodes. If the cancer reaches these nodes, it may have spread to other parts of the body. This is also an indicator of risk of recurrence. Breast cancer that has spread to other organs of the body is called metastatic breast cancer. When breast cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it most often goes to the brain, bones, liver, or lungs.
Doctors are not sure why breast cancer behaves the way it does, or why it spreads in one woman and not in another. The way cancer behaves depends on many factors, some of which doctors do not yet know, and changes from one woman to the next.

New this year are countdown signals and Elliott pick-up and drop-off area
The City of Lincoln's Public Works and Utilities Department and Police Department and the Lincoln Public Schools will again sponsor the annual "Safe Walk and Safe Ride to School Night" from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, August 21. All 25 mile per hour school speed zones will be in operation and enforced for this City-wide event to remind residents that schools are about to open.
For students attending Campbell Elementary and Goodrich Middle Schools, the Public Works and Utilities Department has installed a new device at the intersection of 20th and Superior streets called a "countdown pedestrian signal." In addition to the "walk" and "don't walk" indicators, the signal has a countdown timer during the flashing "don't walk" phase. The timer shows pedestrians how many seconds they have to cross the street before the signal changes.
"We expect this new countdown signal to be less confusing for pedestrians, especially the children who cross this very busy street on their way to school," said Mayor Seng. "The goal is to increase crosswalk safety and improve the traffic flow."
The City also will install countdown signals at 45th and Adams streets (for Huntington Elementary) and 33rd and Vine streets (for Hartley Elementary) and will evaluate their effectiveness. The signals cost $265 each.
As part of "Safe Walk and Safe Ride to School Night" Thursday, Mayor Seng will attend a "welcome back" event from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Elliott Elementary, 225 South 25th Street. At 5:30, the Mayor will cut the ribbon for a new student pick-up and drop-off area. To alleviate safety concerns, Elliott parents worked with the City's Urban Development, Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments to re-pave a two-block area of 24th Street west of the school.
This area will be gated and used only by parents to drop off and pick up their children. Elliott is also promoting its "walking school bus" program, which began last year. Parent volunteers walk to school, picking up students on the "bus" along the way.
"Getting children to and from school safely is primarily a parental responsibility, and all parents are encouraged to participate in 'Safe Walk and Safe Ride to School Night,' said Mayor Seng. "We also need the support and cooperation from motorists, schools, city officials and our community."
Recommended walking routes, one-way pick-up and drop-off maps and safety tips are available from school principals. All drivers are asked to pay extra special attention to the increased pedestrian traffic around school areas.
The Lincoln Police Department has a "no tolerance" policy for enforcing the 25 m.p.h. school speed zones. About six years ago, the City Council passed an ordinance that doubled fines for speeding in school speed zones. The fines (not including court costs) for speeding in a 25 m.p.h. school speed zone are:

Mad German Auteur, Now in 3-D!
The daring German filmmaker Werner Herzog once walked a thousand miles to propose to a woman. He once plotted to firebomb his leading man's house and once ate his own shoe to square a bet. He once got shot in the stomach during a TV interview, then insisted on finishing. And despite it all, his latest adventure—a 3-D documentary about cave paintings—still sounds batshit crazy. Chris Heath goes spelunking deep inside the mind of modern cinema's oddest icon
Today Werner Herzog has chosen to be interviewed indoors. Perhaps it's for the best. One of the more puzzling and improbable moments in the legendary 68-year-old German director's career, and there have been many, came when he was doing a filmed interview for a BBC program called The Culture Show in 2006. He was standing a few miles from here on some barren scrubland in the Hollywood Hills, chosen so that the city of Los Angeles would be the backdrop falling away behind him, and he was explaining how nobody seems to care about his films in Germany when an unexpected noise interrupted him. Herzog flinched. Understandably so, because he had just been shot.
It has never been established who was doing the shooting—if it was more than just someone with an air rifle taking a random pop at a stranger for fun, it may have been because Herzog and the film crew were trespassing. Afterward, Herzog refused to call the police, fearing a SWAT-type overreaction, and he also declined, for the same reason, to seek medical help. Still, the pellet made its mark—under his mauve and pink windmill-motif bor shorts, now blood-blotted, was a seeping entry wound near Herzog's groin.
This shooting is an event he still chooses to play down—"It was kind of insignificant"—although I get the sense he also quite likes the opportunity to play it down. "It was just very silly," he insists. "I have been shot at, without being hit, much more seriously. What I experienced here was completely harmless." Barely worth noting. Though when I persist in challenging him to name one other person who has ever been shot in this way while doing a TV interview in America, he naturally has no answer. "The funny thing is, people sometimes believe I make things up, and nobody would believe it if it hadn't been caught on tape. Nobody would have believed it."
He is right. It seemed so unlikely, so preposterous, and yet somehow so perfectly Herzog. So much so, I tell him, that I think some people still suspect it was a great stunt he'd somehow arranged.
"You may speculate as much as you want," says Herzog, a man whose own work frequently involves fascinating juxtapositions of fact and fantasy, and who is long accustomed to drawing such suspicions. In 2005 he made an acclaimed documentary about a man called Timothy Treadwell who tried to live alongside, and was ultimately killed and eaten by, bears in Alaska. The film was built around footage Treadwell had filmed of himself with the bears. Or so Herzog said. "You find on the Internet," he recounts, "that the film_ Grizzly Man_ is all done in a studio with digital effects: 'No man walks three feet toward a bear and even touches his nose.' There's a massive following of this idea. People believe it was digital effects and that it was Peter Jackson in New Zealand who ultimately made the film." This seems to please him.
For what it's worth, I don't think there's even a chance that Herzog faked Treadwell's home movies (the contents of Treadwell's footage were well-known before Herzog's documentary), let alone set up his own Hollywood Hills shooting, even if he's somewhat attracted by the absurdity of people believing he might have. (The indoor space he has chosen for our meeting, the Museum of Jurassic Technology, is a kind of grand, wonderful art project masquerading as a conventional museum and thrives on a similar spirit; he calls it "my favorite place in America.") But these days, he also finds himself surrounded by other kinds of fictions. "I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet," he says, "pretending to be Werner Herzog."
He partly means the kind of mundane wannabes who set up competing Werner Herzog Facebook pages, but more interesting are those impersonators exploiting a public fascination with Herzog's way of speaking English, in a Bavarian accent with its own very distinctive, mannered enunciation that has become familiar from his documentaries. "My voice," he notes, "has become kind of notorious." This recent epidemic of faux-Herzog narration appears to have begun with YouTube videos in which imitators read aloud children's books such as Curious George, Where's Waldo?, and Winnie the Pooh, wherein his clipped Teutonic tone—methodical, world-weary, and as stoic as he can manage to be in the face of mankind's annoying idiocy, but still somehow also grouchily acceptant that there may yet be wonder in the universe—seems both hilarious and poignant.
"It's mushrooming," he says of all this imitation. "What it's about I don't know, but I welcome it, because I see them as some kind of protectors around me. As though they were bodyguards."
_Like Saddam Hussein's? _
He nods. "The doppelgängers. The paid stooges, shielding me."
As for that one insignificant Hollywood- hillside projectile that nonetheless got through, Herzog concedes that he does still have a slight scar.
"It still hurts," he says, "when I laugh very hard. Slightly. I feel the spot here. Don't make me laugh too hard."
One's first instinct is that this probably won't be the greatest challenge to be faced when interviewing Werner Herzog.
Herzog's original renown came from the innovative, unconventional, and often mysterious feature films he released in the '70s and early '80s—movies like Aguirre, Wrath of God; Stroszek; Even Dwarfs Started Small; and, most famously, Fitzcarraldo. It's hard to remember now that there was a time, not just before Netflix but before VHS home video, when most movies were secrets. Movies with special images and weird dissonant ways of looking at the world could usually be seen only with great effort, typically when they came to the one cinema in town that catered to the arty college crowd; even the keenest movie fan might have to wait many years to see every film by a favorite director. Herzog's were the kind of films that thrived in such a world. They may at times have been narratively oblique and frustrating, but they would contain moments—sometimes of great beauty and vision, and sometimes of surreal jarring oddness—that many who saw them would hold within and cherish for years.
The myth of his movies was compounded by the myth of Herzog himself; over time he became almost as famous for the stories of what happened during the making of his movies as for the movies themselves, particularly the two he made in the Peruvian Amazon, Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo. Fitzcarraldo took several years to complete and was beset by obstacles, and its on-screen story—the tale of an ambitious delusional man with a crazy dream to carry a ship from one river to another over a jungle-covered mountain—seemed to also become the story of its making. (Characteristically, Herzog decided that the best way to film a ship being moved over a mountain deep in the rain forest was to actually move a ship over a mountain deep in the rain forest, and film it.) From such stories, and from the intense and obsessive man Herzog seemed to be in the interviews he would give back then, the perception grew that he might genuinely be crazy.
Even now, though he rejects the conclusion, Herzog seems to simultaneously encourage and discourage such talk. "I read something very beautiful," he tells me. "A journalist writing on the Internet when I did the film My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done, and David Lynch was the ecutive producer. And it said, beautifully, 'The potentially insane David Lynch is finally teaming up with the certified insane Werner Herzog.' I found this totally wonderful. I find it kind of humorous, and it appeals to a kind of opinion out there that I must be insane, because I moved a ship over a mountain and things like that. And of course my answer to that is: 'I have seen many other colleagues in filmmaking, and I am the only one who is clinically sane.' "
Likewise, Herzog suggests that he has been making movies for the mass market all along. He has a phrase that he likes to use: the secret mainstream. "All my films are mainstream," he asserts. "Sometimes people fail to notice that." I take this as both an assertion and a provocation, for the world's failure to notice this has been at times emphatic. But there are signs recently that the gap is narrowing. In the past few years he has made feature films starring Christian Bale (the surprisingly straitlaced_ Rescue Dawn_) and Nicolas Cage (the wonderfully demented_ Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans_), and two well-received documentaries, Grizzly Man and his Oscar-nominated exploration of life in the Antarctic, Encounters at the End of the World.
His latest film, Cave of Forgotten Dreams, is a documentary about the oldest paintings known to man. Chauvet cave, which had been closed off by a rockfall about 20,000 years ago, was discovered in southern France in 1994 and has remained off-limits to all but a few chosen scientists who may only study the images on its walls for a few weeks each year. Because this is a film by Werner Herzog, much of it is made up of respectful and almost reverent footage of the paintings and of thoughtful if also typically idiosyncratic encounters with their guardians and studiers, but it is also a movie that ends with footage of some albino crocodiles swimming in a nearby but otherwise unrelated French eco-park over which Herzog's voice can be heard wondering what the reptiles would make of the paintings.
It is also in 3-D.
Herzog's producer first suggested this. "I immediately had the feeling it was a wrong idea," Herzog tells me. Later, when he realized just how deeply integrated the images were into the extreme contours of the rockfaces—"such a drama of formations and bulges and protrusions and niches and pendants"—he changed his mind. Completely. It was, he then decided, "the only way to do it."
Nonetheless, he remains a skeptic about 3-D generally, though he has only seen one other movie from the modern 3-D era: Avatar. (He's not a big consumer of modern popular culture. When he was recently asked to appear in a long-running TV show, he asked for the network to send over a DVD—Herzog was, it turns out, the last man in America to see The Simpsons.) Though he says he appreciated Avatar's "sheer fireworks," he also says that he found them exhausting enough that he had to take off the glasses every now and then and that he thought the use of regular action-movie quick editing was a mistake.
_And aside from that? _
"I don't like the storytelling, the kind of New Age climate that it creates, which I just can't stand."
_You didn't feel chastened as part of a cruel, exploitative, invasive race? _
"I didn't. But it doesn't matter."
_Did you care what happened? _
Explaining his own film, Herzog says, "I follow my own fascinations...." He also has a story about how he saw a book of cave paintings in a shop when he was a child and saved up for six months to buy it. But when I ask him to consider why he has always been fascinated by cave paintings, he looks at me as though I have just said something slightly distasteful. (Steady yourself. We are only seconds away from tumbling down a vortex and toward our first real-life glimpse of the world as seen by Werner Herzog.)
"Oh, I don't want introspection," he demurs. "I don't like to look at myself."
_Why? _
"I've always been suspicious. I don't even look into my face. I shaved this morning, and I look at my cheeks so that I don't cut myself, but I don't even want to know the color of my eyes. I think psychology and self-reflection is one of the major catastrophes of the twentieth century. A major, major mistake. And it's only one of the mistakes of the twentieth century, which makes me think that the twentieth century in its entirety was a mistake."
_What's the mistake with psychology and self-reflection? _
"There's something profoundly wrong—as wrong as the Spanish Inquisition was. The Spanish Inquisition had one goal, to eradicate all traces of Muslim faith on the soil of Spain, and hence you had to confess and proclaim the innermost deepest nature of your faith to the commission. And almost as a parallel event, explaining and scrutinizing the human soul, into all its niches and crooks and abysses and dark corners, is not doing good to humans. We have to have our dark corners and the unexplained. We will become uninhabitable in a way an apartment will become uninhabitable if you illuminate every single dark corner and under the table and wherever—you cannot live in a house like this anymore. And you cannot live with a person anymore—let's say in a marriage or a deep friendship—if everything is illuminated, explained, and put out on the table. There is something profoundly wrong. It's a mistake. It's a fundamentally wrong approach toward human beings."
_And so if humans persist in this way...? _
"They persist in stupidity, then."
_And what will the consequence be? _
"For example, for me, I could never ever be with a woman who is three times a week with a psychiatrist. It's like an iron curtain between us. Like venetian blinds rattling down."
_I don't know if it's related, but you've previously mentioned an intense antipathy to yoga classes. Could you be with a woman who did yoga? _
"Of course not. Of course not. I think there should be holy war against yoga classes. It detours us from real thinking. It's just this kind of...feeling and floating and meditation and whatever. It's as tourism in religions. People all of a sudden becoming Buddhist here in Los Angeles."
For the record, the principal reason Herzog gives for living in Los Angeles is his marriage to the 41-year-old photographer Lena, his third wife. But I think he also enjoys people's surprise at finding him here. As he argued a couple of years back during an event at the New York Public Library: "The last half century, almost every single important cultural trend and technological trend originated from California—like computers, like the free-speech movement, like accepting gay and lesbian people as an integral part of society...on and on and on." Los Angeles, he likes to tell people, is the only city in America with any real substance.
To propose to his first wife, Herzog traveled on foot about a thousand miles, across the Alps. (Herzog, who had made several other such journeys, is insistent that this not be referred to as walking. "Traveling on foot," he says. "Walking is something different.") He went because he had something important to ask. When I press him to explain further, he says: "There are certain things out there that a manly man has to do in his life, at least once."
Years ago Herzog declared that if he ever opened a film school, people should have to travel by foot from Madrid to Kiev before even being permitted to apply. In the past couple of years, he has finally created such a school—he calls it the Rogue Film School—which exists as occasional weekend seminars popping up around the globe. Though the actual application process is not as strident as he'd once anticipated—not quite—his policy hasn't wavered in spirit. "Three months traveling on foot, let's say, which would be something like 3,000 kilometers," he declares, "would have more value than three years in film school."
Point four of the school's online rules forcibly clarifies this: "The Rogue Film School will not teach anything technical related to filmmaking." Other points illuminate aspects of Herzog's aesthetic, attitude, and method. There are taboos (one of which will be already familiar): "Censorship will be enforced. There will be no talk of shamans, of yoga classes, nutritional values, herbal teas, discovering your Boundaries, and Inner Growth." There are compulsory and voluntary reading lists. (On the former, Virgil and Hemingway. On the latter, the Warren Commission Report into the JFK assassination: "A most fantastic crime story—a most conclusive, most intelligent thing that human mind can ever put together," Herzog tells me. "It's a fantastic piece of human ingenuity." He declares that anyone who has actually read it has no doubt that Oswald did it, and did it alone. "Everybody raves and rants against it, and nobody has read it, including those like Oliver Stone who has made a film on the assassination. He has not read it. I know it because I asked him. Oh no, he is not reading this kind of crap. I said, 'You're wrong, and shame on you.' ") There is also a list of applicable skills for would-be filmmakers. As well as traveling on foot, these include the art of lock-picking, the creation of your own shooting permit, and the neutralization of bureaucracy.
Another skill Herzog has advocated for filmmakers (and, I suspect, pretty much anyone else whom he considers truly worthy of respect) is the ability to milk a cow: "If an actor knows how to milk a cow, I always know it will not be difficult to be in business with him." Herzog has also previously claimed that when he walks into a room, he can tell who in there has previously had hand to udder. Or, at the very least, would.
"I can tell from miles away, yes," he confirms. "Woody Allen is not ever going to milk a cow."
Much of the mythology surrounding Herzog's early work is entwined with that surrounding the lead actor in five of Herzog's best films, Klaus Kinski. It's hard to think of two other regular collaborators who insulted each other so much in their public writings and statements. Here is how Kinski first describes Herzog in his autobiography: "His speech is clumsy, with a toad-like indolence, long winded, pedantic, choppy.... It takes forever and a day for him to push out a clump of hardened brain snot. Even if his vocal cords were sliced through, he'd keep talking like a ventriloquist. Even if his throat were cut and his head were chopped off, speech balloons would still dangle from his mouth like gases emitted by internal decay." It goes on like this for pages and pages, for years and years: "I've never in my life met anybody so dull, humourless, uptight, inhibited, mindless, depressing, boring and swaggering...the spawn of his megalomania, which he mistakes for genius. Herzog is a miserable, hateful, malevolent, avaricious, money-hungry, nasty, sadistic, treacherous, cowardly creep.... He's the same decaying garbage heap that he was ten years ago—only more moronic, more mindless, more murderous." And so on.
Kinski died in 1991, and Herzog has long claimed that they actually colluded on some of these descriptions, Herzog helping Kinski to find ever-more-insulting synonyms. He points out that, for all the harsh words hurled, they kept working together: "He refused offers by Fellini, Kurosawa, others. It was clear to him that the films we made would define him. Why does he refuse an offer by Fellini, for example? Because he thought he made bad films. And I share his opinion."
Still, there was also genuine enmity and contempt at times in their relationship, and sometimes more than that. One of these moments came near the end of their first collaboration, Aguirre, Wrath of God, when Kinski announced that he was leaving the Peruvian jungle and abandoning the film. Herzog took Kinski aside and told him: "You leave this jungle now and you'll find eight bullets in you. The ninth one is for me." And he has always insisted that he absolutely meant what he said and that Kinski knew that he did, which was why he stayed.
When I ask him about this, Herzog says that he had thought through this scenario months before. "And I had very clearly thought about even the unthinkable. I had made up my mind months before it came to that moment. So there was no thinking at all, there was no emotion at all. I was talking to him in a very low voice—he barely could hear me."
_But if he had called your bluff and carried on leaving? You really think you would have...? _
_[pause] _"I don't want to speculate about it anymore. I only can say in retrospect when I look back at this moment, yes, I think I would have shot him."
_The thing that puzzles me, and maybe I'm being too logical about it, is that you don't win by shooting him. _
"Of course not. It had to do with a duty. A duty that was much higher than the two of us. Violating a duty—that's what I would not... _[pause] _like to allow."
In the documentary that Herzog made about Kinski after his death, My Best Fiend, he alludes in passing to one other time when he sincerely entertained murderous thoughts toward his leading man, when he planned to firebomb Kinski's house until deterred by Kinski's dog. I'd like to know more.
"We had plans to kill each other, strangely enough, at exactly the same time," Herzog begins, a little hesitantly. "But you have to see it as these beautiful plots, like in a detective story, and those were mostly plots, I would say, in sheer fantasy. But at some moment it got closer than just a pure fantasy."
_ What were you going to do?_
_[pause] _"Well, as I said, I plotted to kill him."
_ Did you actually have the firebomb? _
[long pause] "I can't answer that. I only can answer that he had this very vigilant shepherd dog, and the presence of the shepherd dog dissuaded me."
_ But no man goes to firebomb a house and gets close enough to be dissuaded by a dog without having a device ready to do the deed—would that be a fair observation? _
He wriggles a little on his seat and laughs nervously. "I'm sorry, but you have to start speculating now yourself."
_ Is this some sense of self-preservation? _
"To firebomb Kinski?"
_ No, not explaining further. Do you not want to explain because it is incriminating? Or embarrassing? _
"Well, there is a certain embarrassment about it, let's face it. But it certainly had its funny side to it as well. Like in Italian comedies in the '50s when the bank robbers tried to drill through a wall into the bank and they end up in the kitchen with their own people having a glass of wine. It had elements of a farce."
_ I think the exact moment it stops being a farce is probably when a bomb goes off._
"Yeah, and let's face it, it still remains a farce, and I'm glad, and let's live with that."
_ Do you think you ever could have done something like that? _
[pause] "I can't answer that." [I begin to talk about something else but he interrupts me.] "But let me say one more thing. Those were the times decades back. In a way I have matured. And I'm a very fluffy...at least a fluffy husband. You have to ask my wife."
_ So you're not completely proud of every way that you were? _
"Of course not."
There is certainly a sternness and an intellectual ferocity about Herzog, but that is not the whole story. Our conversation is punctuated by more laughter than you'd imagine, if not of an intensity to irritate old wounds, and there is also a quite unexpected sweetness and gentleness about him.
It is Herzog who brings up the moment captured on film in Burden of Dreams, the documentary made about the filming of Fitzcarraldo—"a moment which I still feel very strongly inside of me"—where he suggests, after a series of trials and mishaps and disasters, that he should no longer make movies anymore and that perhaps he would be better to go straight to an insane asylum. "Or I should do something more dignified," he reflects. "A grown-up man should do something more dignified. You never see a cattle rancher who is not dignified. You never see a farmer who grows wheat and is not dignified. No one is undignified for raising cattle, and filmmakers are."
_ You still think that? _
_ And you feel yourself undignified, being a filmmaker? _
"It's always borderline. You have to look at yourself, and you know there is something very, very strange about what you are doing."
_ When you look at other filmmakers, do you think they are engaged in something that— _
He interrupts me. "Always, always the same. And you can straightaway, when you see films on filmmakers—they're always, always embarrassing. Including me. I cannot elude that embarrassment, either. I do not feel it as deeply as others should feel who have an ego problem and play the king on the hill, the genius behind the camera. That's an additional embarrassment. But when you look at movies made about filmmakers, they are without exception embarrassments."
_ I suppose the counterargument should be something about this glorious role as a grand storyteller, the spinner of illusions. _
"There is nothing glorious about making a film. It is an endless sequence of banalities."
_ With a magical goal? _
"Yes. But shooting a film itself is nothing but banalities. [Then, as though reluctantly, he continues.] However, there's very rare moments where I get the feeling sometimes I'm like the little girl in the fairy tale who steps out into the night, in the stars, and she holds her apron open, and the stars are raining into her apron. Those moments I have seen and I have had. But they are very rare."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas last week signed 15 treaties and applications to international bodies in an effort to unilaterally gain recognition for the "State of Palestine." But Israeli officials derisively noted that the Palestinians are already in violation of most, if not all, of those treaties.
"Had the Palestinians bothered to read the applications to the various conventions they seek to join, they would understand that they are in blatant violation of the majority of their articles," Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor said during a Jerusalem Post conference in New York. "They tend to forget the surprising concept that joining international treaties also includes obligations."
For instance, Proser reminded Abbas that he periodically likes to send Palestinian journalists to jail for unflattering coverage of his regime. By doing so, Abbas "actually violates the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights," Prosor pointed out. "If he will sign the convention, I'm afraid it's something he'll have to work on."
Proser also sarcastically wondered if after signing the Geneva Convention, Abbas would condemn Hamas over its "use of schools, mosques and hospitals for the purpose of murderous terrorist attacks, firing at Israeli civilians and using innocent civilians as human shields."
Additionally, the Palestinian Authority regularly encourages youth to engage in violence, does nothing to prevent child labor or marriage, and has given its tacit approval to the phenomenon of "honor killings." All these things and more fail to meet the requirements of the international conventions Abbas seeks to join.
Proser warned that by signing these treaties, Abbas is opening the Palestinian Authority up to the same kind of legal action the Palestinians and their supporters consistently try to employ against Israel.
The Israeli legal group Shurat Hadin said that by joining the International Criminal Court, Palestinian leaders could now face charges of war crimes for their involvement in terrorism against Israeli Jews.
Shurat Hadin chairperson Nitzana Darshan-Leitner told Israel National News that her group has in fact been waiting for such an opportunity, and has already gathered much evidence.

Christopher Hitchens, an internationally known columnist, intellectual and author whose provocative books and essays in Slate, Vanity Fair, the Atlantic and other publications have hammered at organized religion, the Clintons, Winston Churchill and Mother Teresa alike, appeared Wednesday, March 3, before a packed audience at UCLA to portray anti-Semitism as "the godfather of all other forms of racism" and "the gateway to the tyranny of fascism and war."
Alternating between black humor, biting sarcasm and insightful analysis, Hitchens took over the podium at Korn Convocation Hall to deliver the eighth annual Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture at UCLA to an audience of more than 400 people, including Pearl's father, Judea Pearl, an emeritus professor of computer science at UCLA and president of a foundation formed to continue his son's mission of promoting cross-cultural understanding through journalism and music.
Daniel Pearl, a prominent Wall Street Journal reporter and the paper's South Asia bureau chief, was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002.
Hitchens joined a distinguished list of prominent journalists who have delivered the annual lecture, including Anderson Cooper, David Brooks, Ted Koppel, Larry King, Jeff Greenfield, Daniel Schorr and Thomas Friedman.
Before Hitchens began his remarks, Judea Pearl explained that in the initial years following his son's death, the family had not wanted to dwell on the "negative, deranged mindset behind the ideology of his murderers," but instead had concentrated on the positive aspects of Daniel's legacy.
"But recently, we came to recognize that if we want to be true to our mission of rolling back the tsunami of hatred that is currently sweeping our planet, we must first map its undercurrents, analyze its anatomy and understand its circuitry in full scientific detail," Pearl said.
Hitchens opened with a clip of a recent KTLA interview with an unapologetic Mel Gibson nearly four years after his infamous anti-Semitic tirade during a drunk-driving arrest, and urged his listeners to be vigilant against a hatred that cannot be eradicated, to "fight it without pity," but also to be discerning in picking out the real enemies and toxic forms of anti-Semitism, such as that posed by Islamic jihad.
Citing liberally from the writings of historians, intellectuals and literary authors, Hitchens illustrated how difficult it can be to characterize anti-Semitism. Are all anti-Zionists, Holocaust deniers and far right-wingers anti-Semites? Not necessarily, he said. But neither are all liberals immune from such hatred. For example, he pointed out, "I would have not expected to see the day when supposedly liberal websites ... would [carry] stories about Israel stealing body parts," he said, referring to an article published in a leftist Swedish newspaper in August 2009 that spread across the Internet and created an international firestorm.
He also noted that the massive Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Bernard Madoff did not trigger a wave of anti-Semitism in the U.S. "There was a time when something like that would have," he said. "But almost everyone in the United States has a Jewish friend. They know not to generalize. I have a feeling that in the U.S., it's well-controlled," although he added, "I'm not going to say this is the promised land."
Ranked the 11th most influential print/online columnist by the website Mediaite, Hitchens has elicited both praise and criticism for his acerbic observations on Beltway politics, world affairs, and contemporary thought and culture. His no-holds-barred style of journalism and analysis has earned him many honors, including a National Magazine Award in 2007 and a spot as a finalist for the 2007 National Book Award.
A classically trained graduate of Cambridge and Balliol College, Oxford, with an honors degree in philosophy, politics and economics, Hitchens has penned more than a dozen books, including the New York Times bestseller "God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything." He emigrated from England in 1981 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2007.
Established at UCLA in 2002, the lecture series honors the life and work of Daniel Pearl. The Hitchens lecture was presented by the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations, the Daniel Pearl Foundation and the Yitzhak Rabin Hillel Center for Jewish Life at UCLA.

Roger Waters Talks About 'The Wall' and Pink Floyd on '60 Minutes'
Roger Waters, who's been breaking attendance records during his 'The Wall' tour, sat down with CBS' '60 Minutes' on Sunday night to talk about the tour, leaving Pink Floyd, and how much he wishes everyone would just leave their cell phones at home already.
Interviewer Steve Kroft calls Waters "prickly" (and says in the video below that some others don't bother with the "ly" at the end), but adds that even at 68, the legendary songwriter is also "gracious" and "totally committed to his work."
Asked why 'The Wall' has had such staying power with fans, Waters replied, "I think it strikes some chords that may be just beneath surface in most of us. What it's about is the walls that exist between human beings, whether on a family level or on a global level. And I think that resonates with people."
Waters has taken great pains in the stage show to reproduce the sound of the original record, even using several artists to replicate — note for note — what Pink Floyd's singer and guitarist David Gilmour did. That made Kroft ask the obvious question: did Waters ever think about pulling his old bandmates back in?
He barely had the question out of his mouth before Waters stopped him.
"There must have been a reason back in 1985 why I left Pink Floyd, left the name, left that big umbrella of comfort … and there was a reason for why I did, okay," he said. "And [that reason] didn't go away, certainly, in the intervening 25 years or however long it's been."
But something Waters feels has changed are concert-goers — specially, the ones who wield cell phones at his shows. "It drives me insane," he said, adding that he doesn't understand why people are so focused on taking photos of the show and staring at a tiny screen when there's "this huge spectacle" going on in front of them.
Bitching aside, though, Waters loves his job — and has no illusions about the life of a rock star.
"People always used to say, it must be so hard you know, how do you do it? You know, it must be so hard being on the road, being in a rock and roll band. It's amazing that you survived. And I would look at them like, what are you talking about?" he said.
"It's the easiest job in the world … I mean, compared with something really hard, like for instance, looking after a two-year-old child, it's an absolute doddle."

Dirt Every Day Episode 28 Building a Giant Go-Kart Part 2Posted in News on April 10, 2014
Last time on Dirt Every Day, Fred and the Poly Goats Off-Road Club tore down an old dilapidated Pace Arrow Motorhome to build the gnarliest giant go-kart in the world - with a big block 454ci Chevy V-8 no less! Sure it was looking like an uphill battle hacking away at the old 1986 Pace Arrow Motorhome but once the SawzAll's and sledge hammers came out, the big behemoth crumbled like a house of cards. Of course the rain didn't seem to help speed things up either but somehow nobody slipped off the roof or ended up with any splinters during the teardown.
With only a frame and running drivetrain left, the crew was one step closer to fulfilling what is likely one of Fred's life long dreams of tearing down the street in a giant big block powered go-kart.
On this episode of Dirt Every Day, we'll see how well Fred and the Poly Goats Off-Road Club's fabrication and design skills work when they set out to build their giant big block powered go-kart. Think it will stack up well when put to the test against a real kid sized go-kart in the ultimate go-kart shootout?
One thing's for sure, chaos will ensue when they smash and bash their giant machine in rigorous and slightly hilarious competitions to see if bigger truly is better, when it comes to go-karts.
Check out the full episode to see if an old RV can really be turned into a fun machine on the cheap!

15 Actors and Their Poor Man's Versions
Both are lovely redhead actresses but Amy is the one with the Oscar nominated films while Isla mostly sticks to silly comedies.
These petite brunettes may look alike but Mila Kunis is A-list while Bilson is stuck on the CW.
They look so alike that it's easy to confuse them in pictures but there's no doubt that Bardem's resume is much more impressive.
Katrina Bowden is the up-and-coming blonde funny girl but she hasn't reached the star status of Kristen Bell just yet.
5. Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart
Both young actresses are all over the gossip websites but while Jennifer Lawrence is scooping up awards Kristen is busy sleeping with her director.

We have expertise in carpet water restoration, carpet flood restoration and restoration of water damaged carpets in any way. Established some 20 years ago, we had a single goal in mind – give complete customer satisfaction with each task and reduce customer's stress by flawless carpet restoration services.
Water can cause serious damage to any valuable carpet if not treated properly at the right time. Water has the potential to penetrate deep within the carpets and spoil them from inside. Also, water leads to added moisture further resulting in the growth of all unwanted particles such as fungi, bacteria, moulds, and other various contaminants. If water is not treated instantaneously, it could cause serious damage to your carpets and hence it is advised to give us a call immediately whenever such an unlikely situation occurs.
VIP Cleaners offers complete cleaning solutions for your carpet. We do flooded carpet clean up and provide services for washing machine flooded carpet, storm water on carpet, hot water system leak on carpet, roof leak on carpet, and even tap water overflow on carpet.
Our Exquisite Water Restoration Modus Operandi
VIP Cleaners provides exclusive, commendable carpet water restoration services in all suburbs of Research 3095. Our customers keep coming back to us because of our commitment and consistency in providing flawless carpet cleaning services. Water restoration is a time consuming task and cannot be fixed in a jiffy. But it is vital that it is attended to with immediate action. The water has to be extracted instantly from the damaged area and at times floor covering has to be removed. Our experienced cleaners have been trained to do the process in a particular way, which is as follows:
- First of all, our skilled cleaners perform a moisture test to find the extent of damage that has been done by the water. A moisture meter measures exactly the water extent. The sub-flooring and the underlay could be wet even if you see a dry carpet. Our cleaners extract as much water as possible using a high-tech machine. They will move the flooring if required.
- Second step is to apply an antimicrobial and deodorizer to get rid of any kind of odor caused due to mould growth or moisture.
- Then our cleaners evaporate moisture into the air using dryers or air movers.
- If required, our cleaners will use industrial dehumidifier to remove moisture from the room, which otherwise could damage the surrounding walls or furniture. This step prevents growth of fungus, mold, and fungus.
- Next, they check the carpet thoroughly and beneath the carpet as well to ensure it is completely dry.
- Finally, antimicrobial is used to clean the affected carpet that ensures that the carpet stays healthy from germs, mould, and bacteria.
This long comprehensive carpet water restoration process is highly necessary to keep you and your family safe from any health perils that water damage could cause. VIP Cleaners ensure that the complete process is executed properly.

The awards for the Homeland Security Department's $22 billion Eagle II contract have been coming out in bunches in three different categories.
Most of the awards have been to small businesses, but there has been one group of full-and-open awards in the independent test, validation, verification and evaluation category.
With the spurts of awards, as well as the lag between the announcements by both DHS and the press releases issued by the winners, it can be confusing at times whether it's a new award or an old award and exactly who's won.
So, I've put together a "cheat sheet" as much for myself as for anyone else.
Some quick background:
DHS Eagle II is for a broad range of IT services, and has three functional categories:
Category 1: Service delivery, which is described as integration, software development and operations and maintenance.
Category 2: IT program support
Category 3: Independent test, validation, verification and evaluation, which I'm going to call IV&V in the chart below.
Another interesting aspect of this contract is that the award announcements include core teammates.
We'll keep updating this as more awards come out.
Civitas Group, K2 Consulting, Kilda Group LLC and PMOLink Government Solutions Inc.

Abby wrote:Ok, so folks here have opinions on why hub cities exist. So what do those of us trying to have science careers (not just PhD) in Non-Hub cities do?
PACN wrote:It seems to me that another factor is that many start ups do not intend to take products all the way through clinical trials. They are looking to get something started then sell it to big pharma or biotech to take the rest of the way. So not only are things like health care markets and clinical trials not necessarily a concern to them, being local to some of those big pharma companies they are targeting (which are themselves concentrated in hubs) is a big plus.
I'm writing about this now, Abby. It's a very good question -- and a quite logical next step for the discussion started by Nate.
My next month's article will cover this topic. I wrote about it once before, in a piece about the "backwoods of biotechnology." But the subject has changed a great deal, so I won't bother linking that one for you because I think you'll get more current (and better) advice by frequent posters in our community on the Forum. That original piece is about 20 years old. As you know, we archive things around here!
I'll come back and post when the new article on that topic is up on the SC.org website. In the meanwhile, what region are you in, and what is your general job category, and perhaps we can customize your advice a bit more specifically?
Abby wrote:Ok, so folks here have opinions on why hub cities exist. So what do those of us trying to have science careers (not just PhD) in Non-Hub cities do?
Dave Jensen wrote:Thanks Nate.
I'm trying hard to make my answer something more than "network, network" but in DX's case that advice (classic as it is) comes across as sensible and correct. There ARE some other options. I'm trying to think of those right now, just as Abby is.
Colorado is a good example of one of the problems, not a solution. That is, it's a great State to live in for reasons that have nothing to do with work. You enjoy your life when you live there -- you have options outdoors to hike, climb, bike, ski and everything under the sun. It's the kind of place where companies can build up a presence (Amgen) and then lay people off, and the entire group of laid off people start driving cabs instead of going elsewhere and relocating for work. I don't have a quick answer. I'll talk to some experts and incorporate that advice into my column,

States are doing everything they can to enlist the much-desired twenty- and thirty-somethings in Obamacare, and you now can add Illinois to that roster.
The Land of Lincoln is turning to satire in order to get the so-called "invincibles" to sign up and is teaming with fake news website The Onion to get the word out. Illinois's health exchange, Get Covered Illinois, has joined forces with The Onion, and will run ads on the satirical news site. The Onion also will create content as well as a custom news section devoted to signing up younger consumers in Obamacare.
Get Covered Illinois is partnering with Onion Labs, a creative agency designed to help spread Onion-style humor to other organizations. Banner ads on the news site now feature Onion-esque headlines as "Recently Insured Man Can't Wait To Get Out There, Start Seriously Injuring Himself" and "Man Without Health Insurance is Forced to Sell Action Figures to Pay Medical Bills."
Illinois is following in the footsteps of Colorado and California in trying to enlist young, healthy consumers in order to spread out the insurance risk. Connect for Health Colorado ran a number of print ads geared toward younger consumers, including a shot with two young men propping a third over a keg of beer as he tries to gulp quickly from the tap. The slogan: "Keg stands are crazy. Not having health insurance is crazier."
Meanwhile, Covered California put out a rap video featuring a President Obama impersonator who exhorts young consumers to sign up for health care to the rhythm of a rap tune. Among the lines: "So don't stand and diddle, my healthcare's the 'shizzle'."

Silverware necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 25 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Silverware Software
We are a mobile software development company that develops iPhone and iPad applications. Because we focus on iPhone/iPad apps, the first impression a potential customer has of our product is the icon that appears on the Apple App Store.
The app the icon is being designed for is a mileage tracking application. The app allows users to track their business mileage and will be used by business customers. The use this app to then report to the taxing authorities the mileage they have recorded. One must keep in mind our app is an iPhone app so it is important the icon catches ones attention and is very attractive. iPhone users really appreciate a beautiful designed icon.
One concept we have is a vanishing road with the image of an iconic car.
Another concept is to incorporate a "mile marker" sign which is should be bright green with white lettering.
We would like the background to be bright ORANGE.
An road shown should be black with white striping.
IMPORTANT: I have included some Very rough sketches. But please do not feel you must follow these sketches. Our last contest with 99designs, we chose a beautiful design which was the artist's original design.
Thank you.
We have made this contest a blind one as we respect each designer's unique work. We have used 99designs before and enjoy working with the very many talented artists.
The icon should portray a clean, sharp look.
4 sizes are need in .png format :
512 x 512 (used on Apple App Store)
114 x 114 (used on double resolution screens such as the iPhone 4)
72 x 72 (used on the iPad)
57 x 57 (used on the iPhone)
The all should be square and not rounded. The rounding seen on the Apple App Store is done by the Apple.
We would also like a large .psd file

...- so with the 25% offer and free shipping on orders over $50, I ended up spending less than $50 for 6 figures - not bad at all.
With the current deal, it doesn't even need to be $50. So, if Plagieus pops up tomorrow you can just buy him with the discount and free shipping. I bought the 6" Han and Vizam and that was it.

The Dodgers have called up catcher A.J. Ellis from Triple-A while sending down infielder Blake DeWitt and outfielder Jamie Hoffmann, reasoning that DeWitt and Hoffmann needed more time to play and develop that they weren't getting with the big club.
That leaves an empty spot on the 25-man which will be filled by the start of tonight's game against the Athletics. It almost certainly will be an outfielder because the demotion of Hoffmann leaves the Dodgers with only their starting outfielders. Ken Gurnick speculates it will be 31-year-old Mitch Jones, who is absolutely murdering the ball in Albuquerque to the tune of a 1.044 OPS.
