What Wakes B.J. Novak Up In The Middle Of The Night?
When we talk about a triple threat, we're often talking about a versatile athlete. Think about a basketball player who can score, defend and rebound. In show biz, B.J. Novak may be that triple threat. He can do standup, act and write - successfully, in all cases. He got his start doing standup comedy. That led to a job on the hit comedy series "The Office," where he had a regular part and was one of the writers.
And now, he's put his writing talent to work on one more thing. Literally - that's the name of his book of stories, "One More Thing," an appropriate title for someone so multifaceted. And NPR's Lynn Neary says the book is funny. She can also tell Novak used his acting instincts to create the book.
LYNN NEARY, BYLINE: B.J. Novak's face is probably familiar to anyone who's been to the movies in recent years. He's had a series of small parts in big films like Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds." But Novak is probably best known as the weasely, young temp at the dysfunctional paper company where "The Office" is set. He's the kind of guy who will do anything to get out of going to lunch with his boss.
NEARY: Although Novak divided his time between writing and acting on "The Office" he says he always fell in most easily with the writers, forming a fast friendship with fellow writer-performer Mindy Kaling. And during the show's long run, he would jot down his thoughts in notebooks. Later, when he looked them over, Novak realized he had the beginning of a book.
: You know, when I went through all these notebooks that I had kept over eight years of "The Office," I had so many ideas. And this became the form for them, sort of a scattered - purposefully scattered book of different tones and feelings and ideas.
NEARY: It's hard to characterize the stories in "One More Thing." Some are fully realized short stories like "Kelloggs," about a young boy's journey to redeem a prize-winning coupon he found in a cereal box, only to discover his true identity in the process. And there are moments of eloquence here and there. But Novak's bread and butter is humor, which shines through in stories like this one, about a man who invents the calendar.
: (Reading) Jan. 2nd. I'm still so excited about this calendar thing. It just makes so much sense. One thousand days a year divided into 25 months, 40 days a month. Why didn't anyone think of this before? Jan. 3rd. Getting so many compliments on the calendar. One guy came up to me today and said he's going to organize his whole life around it. Literally, someone said that.
NEARY: The book also includes brief vignettes that seem like scraps of ideas drawn whole cloth from Novak's notebook. Some of these stories are a paragraph or two; some, just a couple of sentences.
: Well, I wanted to be true to all these different ideas I had had, and I was excited to break the form. I think sometimes people, these days, on Twitter or their phones on text messages, they're used to reading content that is purposefully articulated in an extremely short burst, and you would never want to expand a perfect text message.
So I felt well, if you have an idea that is short - like this piece "Kindness Among Cakes," which is two lines long - I thought oh, that is an interesting idea; why is carrot cake - why does it have such good icing, but it's such a bad cake? (Reading) "Kindness Among Cakes." Child: Why does carrot cake have the best icing? Mother: Because it needs the best icing.
NEARY: If some of Novak's stories have a hint of standup comedy in them, it may be because Novak would rent a theater from time to time, and try them out in front of an audience. He says he wanted to make sure the book would work as entertainment.
: I would read the stories out loud with a pen in my hand, and I would try to entertain people. And some of them fell flat, and they're not in the book. And some of them got really full attention and laughter except for one part, which I would go home and revise. But it was very fun and visceral for me to really make sure this was an entertaining and not self-indulgent book, to test it by standing in front of a hundred people, alone on a stage.
NEARY: Performing is obviously a big part of Novak's life and personality. Most recently, he appeared in "Saving Mr. Banks" as one member of the team that came up with the music and lyrics for the movie "Mary Poppins."
NEARY: Novak says he loves to act, but if he had to choose between writing or acting, it would be no contest.
: You know, anytime someone calls and says they want to put you in a movie, it's very exciting. I think no matter who you are - I've got to think that it's just exciting. There's just some - it's like an almost mythological thing, to be in movies. And - no. So if someone called and said we want you to be the star of this, I'm listening. (Laughter) I am.
NEARY: If you were to look at the range of things you can do and you're looking ahead, I mean, do you aspire more towards getting the lead role, or writing the great screenplay, or doing the great standup act?
: Writing. Writing the great thing. I realized a while ago that I never once had a fantasy of a role I wanted to play. I never once woke up in the middle of the night thinking: I should play a cowboy who lost his wife and needs to - you know, it's never - that fantasy has never come to me.
What always comes to me is: I should write a movie about, or I should write a TV show about or - that's what wakes me up with a smile on my face in the middle of the night, is always something that I want to write and then test, and then see if other people love it the way I do in that moment.
And I want to see it. I don't know if that's selfish or if that's the exact level of performer that's in my DNA, or if everyone feels that. But I always want to see that. It makes me write as hard as I can.
NEARY: Novak probably won't have to choose. As long as there's a theater or a club nearby, he can always try out new standup material. And as long as the acting offers keep coming in, he can keep performing. With a notebook back in his trailer, he's sure to have lots of material for the next collection of stories.

Talk:Wanted Level in GTA IV Era
| This talk page is for discussing the Wanted Level in GTA IV Era article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
Do not edit the 4-star wanted level column. FIB Buffalos appear on 4 star, and I have played the game thoroughly, and initiating pursuits on Algonquin is my favorite thing to do. I see FIB Buffalo on 4 stars. - MasterChief117
- Hi, my brother ALWAYS gets the FIB on his 360 but on my PS3 I hardley ever get them and I would much rather get them than the NOOSE. I think there is ALOT wrong with this page, because I think the system changes every time the wanted level is aquired, the stars are just a basis. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 00:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe your system has a glitch or something with the police wanted level system biggest gta fan ever. On my Xbox 360 the F.I.B rarely comes at four stars, but occasionally they would.::Fast Lane 06:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I just gave this page some much needed cleanup and it too me a LONG time. Now it looks like one article, not a whole bunch of edits. Now we just have to worry about if the content is right. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 00:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
places where i have gotten chased by FIB
I have been chased by FIB agents in firefly projects and places near it more then the NOOSE agents but at times when im not in those areas or im causing havoc with a rocket launcher or something I get the NOOSE team after me is it like this for anyone else? --Stephendwan 22:28, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
Cannot lose wanted level while on a chopper
I have tried it numerous times on PS3. Whenever I have a wanted level and want to get rid of by flying on a helicopter the wanted radius is constantly centered on my position. Any thoughts why this happens?
- It happens after four stars and it's because the helicopter is constantly on the radar of the Police helicopter. Although this is not apparent in the game, it's a valid theory. —alleypuppy 16:09, May 12, 2010 (CST)
- I know that, it's just that the "Tip" presented in the article page, which says "Head for docks or the Higgins Helitours. It is easier to escape via helicopters and speedboats than land transport." is completely off, because of this exact reason. I think it is important to mention in the wiki the fact that you can't escape via helicopters at higher levels. Wydarr 17:04, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
Being Arrested
I like how as you are being arrested, the other cops are still shooting at you. Unless it's just a glitch in my game.Ipangrazio 01:55, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

The FDA has approved the first robot doctor, a machine created by iRobot, the same company that made your Roomba.
It's called the RP-VITA and it's awesome. Check it out in the picture. It's basically a big screen with an iPad interface that lets a doctor examine a patient remotely, as long as the doc has all the information he or she needs. But RP-VITA is not just for basic check-ups. Apparently it works in pre-op and post-op, as well as during surgery itself, and in a variety of categories from psychology, to neurology, to cardiology, and so on. How cool is that? [BusinessWire]

The Learn and Earn Center from Scholastic and Kumon
I have loved Scholastic for a long time now. They have created so many great books and teaching materials for parents and teachers. I've used a lot of their books with my own kids. And here is another opportunity that they are offering families...
Scholastic has partnered up with Kumon to help your child develop their math and literacy skills. Their Learn and Earn Center allows you to download math and reading activities for children ages five to 12. By completing the sheets, your child can earn up to FIVE free books from Scholastic.
So head over there and take a look!
Con mucho cariño...
Disclosure: I have not been compensated for (or even contacted about!) sharing this information with you. It is all purely my own Scholastic love :)

Unfortunately, the promotion listed above is already closed due to "overwhelming success" and probably already was by April 25th, as they should have received our entry that day, based on when we mailed it. We never received our books.ReplyDelete
Wow. I'm really sorry to hear that. Usually, Scholastic is better than that. Thanks for the heads-up.ReplyDelete

text: The National Aquarium's DC venue recently teamed up with several east coast eateries to introduce a unique sustainable seafood menu item, lionfish, whose taste is distinctive as its story. The Red Lionfish is an invasive species with strong defense mechanisms in its venomous pectoral spines. It preys on fish, shrimp and crabs and have even been observed feeding on fish more than half their total size! The National Aquarium's research team has observed a tenfold increase in lionfish numbers in the Bahamas from 2005 to 2007, with ongoing spread throughout the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. In 2009, researchers were dismayed to confirm the arrival of the Red Lionfish in the Florida Keys. Ongoing research continues to determine what effects these invaders are having on native marine ecosystems. At a time when concerned vendors, restaurateurs and diners are seeking sustainable seafood choices, the Red Lionfish may provide a commercial opportunity as well as a means to controlling an invasive species in the Atlantic. With so many fish stocks over exploited, the lionfish offers a great-tasting fillet (similar taste and texture to Tilapia) and a new product for the Atlantic- based fishing industry. At a recent meeting held at the National Aquarium, members of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington (RAMW) raved over the various preparations of the fish and the strong eco-benefits of serving it. If you are wondering about the venomous spines, they were removed prior to shipping, as should be the practice of any processors who sell the fish. You can learn more about lionfish at the National Aquarium in DC, which has a wonderful lionfish exhibit. And, be on the look out for Red lionfish from the Atlantic Ocean on menus and in stores. If you are a seafood lover in the region, the National Aquarium's Baltimore venue is offering a sustainable seafood dining series featuring many different sustainable seafood choices.

Koop, Abraham Jacob (1838-1920)
Abraham Jacob "A. J." Koop, of Chortitza, South Russia: leading industrialist; born 8 October 1838 in Chortitza, Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, South Russia, the second of five children of Jakob Abraham Koop (18 March 1815, Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia - 20 December 1846, Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia) and Margaretha (Lepp) Koop (6 February 1816, Quadendorf, Danzig, Prussia - 13 June 1854, Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia). He married Katharina Paetkau (27 November 1839, Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia - 12 February 1910, Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia) on 18 February 1861; they had 12 children, of which nine reached adulthood: Jakob, Abraham, Peter, Katharina, Johann, David, Helena, Margaretha, and Heinrich. Abraham died of typhus 19 January 1920 in Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia.
A. J. Koop received his training as an apprentice in the workshop and factory of P. H. Lepp, who helped him to get started in industry. Koop established his own factory in Chortitza in 1864. He was so successful that additional factories were built at Einlage and Alexandrovsk. In 1908 they had an output of 610,000 rubles. At Alexandrovsk during that year 288 workers were employed, at Chortitza, 81, and at Einlage, 100. The factories produced the usual agricultural machinery used by the Mennonites and the Russians of the Ukraine. When, in 1914, Koop's enterprise observed its 50th anniversary it was listed as the second largest of the Mennonite industries in Russia. During the Russian Revolution the factories were nationalized but continued their work. Little is known about the personal life of the founder.

Hard work, talent and being genuine is paying off for Saskatchewan band ONE BAD SON. If you ever get a chance to meet the band, the first thing that you realize is that ONE BAD SON is actually a group of some very good guys.
One Bad Son have been insanely busy lately. Making the 50 hour drive from Vancouver to Ontario, OBS will be playing in 11 cities across the province throughout the month of May. With a concert last night at Cherry Cola's in Toronto the band is just getting started on their crazy month.
One Bad Son hail from Saskatchewan, and have been making music for 10 years. They've struggled and persevered, paying strong attention to their craft and growing as a band from show to show. With a hit "Scarecrows" on the radio and a soon to be released new music video for their song "It Ain't Right" expect to hear and see One Bad Son more often.
Yesterday I headed down to the Fossil Showroom to do catch OBS' Lead Vocalist Shane Volk, Guitarist Adam Hicks, Bassist Adam 'Granny' Grant, and Drummer/ Manager Kurt Dahl in the middle of their shopping and find out a little more about the band and to ask them questions about fashion- A topic these rockers rarely get to discuss!
When I finally made it to the Showroom I notice, Granny meticulously curating his Fossil swag, Kurt trying on some shades and Adam and Shane checking out some of Fossil's new collections online. The Fossil showroom is absolutely beautiful, and luckily I got a chance to squeeze in some questions when the guys were taking in the endless number of awesome Fossil products.
Although every band member except Shane was in the standard off duty rocker look- Jeans and a flannel, these dudes have some fashion flair. Kurt was in the middle of trying on a white and black leopard print belt "This would be great on stage" he joked.
Their style is pretty eclectic and definitely reflects the bands lifestyle. "We like clothes with a lot of character, our style is kind of 70's inspired, definitely … just like our music- Led Zeppelin, The Who, Hendrix and the early 90's with Sound garden Alice and Chains" Kurt Tells us… Then Shane quickly jumps in "And Customized Stuff, things we've made ourselves. It's nice to have one off things that nobody else has."
Watching their music videos, and seeing photos of the band online, they've got the Canadian rocker look down to a T. But when it comes down to it, with One Bad Son, it's the music that really matters.
Throughout my interview with Kurt and Shane, I really got to discover that OBS, although having a #5 hit, are still in that hustling phase. The band travels extreme distances, works hard and has a very genuine approach to making and performing music. "We are going to do it the old fashioned way, there is no secret success plan for us, we have the new video coming out, lots of touring … Just getting on the road and playing for people, that's what we've done for the past 9 years.. with rock 'n roll you earn fans one show at a time" Shane tells us.
Well, when it comes to fans, with hits like "Scarecrows" and "It Ain't Right" they can add one more …
Check out the pics from the trip.

After a long day of voting, counting, pontificating, celebrating over wins, agonizing over losses, and furious browser refreshing, we all woke up to a world in which the United States of America has the most liberal drug policy in the world.
Sure, you can buy and smoke marijuana throughout Holland, and Portugal has pursued harm reduction policies for the past decade or so, but drugs, including marijuana, are still technically illegal within their borders.
But not in the states of Colorado and Washington, where voters approved Proposition 64 and Initiative 502 (respectively) yesterday, legalizing the recreational use of marijuana by adults.
Pot is legal in Colorado and Washington. To smoke. For fun.
It's not being decriminalized ("we won't put you in jail, we'll just confiscate your marijuana and fine you") or officially ignored — it's full-blown legal.
And it's about time. The war on marijuana, and the war on drugs more broadly, is a stupid, wasteful, criminal enterprise that does far more damage to society than the use and misuse of drugs could ever do. The government, in the name of protecting its citizens from the harms of drugs, has put millions of people in jail, destroyed just as many families, stolen billions of dollars in asset forfeitures, and created a bloody and violent drug market, the profits of which sustain cartels and terrorists around the world. Entire countries are being consumed by the chaos and violence associated with our war on drugs (hello Mexico).
In Colorado, Amendment 64 makes it legal for people over the age of 21 to buy and smoke marijuana and will treat sales and distribution similar to how alcohol is handled. People can also grow up to six marijuana plants at home. It passed with 53.3 percent of the vote and will become law within 30 days when the governor ratifies the ballot. Colorado has the advantage of a few years of experience with legal medical marijuana; there are already mechanisms within the state government to regulate and tax the drug.
Washington's Initiative 502 does much of the same thing as Amendment 64 but does not allow for growing marijuana at home if not it's not for medical use. It gives control of marijuana sales and distribution to the state liquor board and directs tax revenue generated from pot sales towards substance abuse prevention, healthcare, and education.
Last week I wrote about my friend Troy Dayton, a dedicated drug reform activist and entrepreneur who was helping to rally for the cause as voting day approached. It's thanks to people like Troy that Amendment 64 and Initiative 502 passed. People like Micah Daigle and Tom Angell of the Marijuana Majority. People like Students for Sensible Drug Policy, who made thousands of calls to Colorado voters to shore up the vote. People like David Borden of StoptheDrugWar.org, Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance, and Mason Tsvert of Campaign to regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol.
It's thanks to those people, and the countless others who have long worked to bring about sane drug policy, that yesterday happened. And it's thanks to the millions of voters in Colorado and Washington who cast the right vote. Thank you all.
Two down, 48 to go.
A bit of background: I was a student drug activist in my younger days and founded the organization that evolved into Students for Sensible Drug Policy. I have been mostly a silent (and not so silent) supporter of the movement ever since and have of lot of friends doing drug policy work.

3C Confections necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 32 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
3C Confections
3C Confections creates custom hard candies, chocolates, etc. based on customer specifications and services the non medical consumer as well as Prop 215 patients. We also carry a standard product line available to all of our clients. Our chocolates are preservative free and made from all natural ingredients without any artificial colors, etc. and our hard candies are made with natural flavors and at times include coloring. We have never needed to advertise given our product line quality, however, given recent market competition, we have decided we want to launch an official site to include a logo that is simple, elegant, and represents the care we put into the products we create.
Our target audience includes men and women between the ages of 21 – 60 who obtain our products at local cannabis dispensaries and hold legal Prop 215 cards. We also allow our non medical consumers the ability to submit orders directly from our site, though those products are non medical so we should not identify the medical community in the logo nor do we want to reference cannabis.
All of our candies are all hand made from scratch. Each hand designed so no two items ever look identical (though quality wise they are identical). We are targeting clients who seek simplicity, elegance, and efficacy while knowing they can expect optimum quality. Since most clients find our products visually appealing, we want to ensure the logo design is equally beautiful. Lastly, we personally handle all of our client orders, concerns, custom orders, etc. so it is important the design convey approachability, fun, and friendliness.
We need a logo to represent 3C Confections. We like the Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland with his hookah and think a redraw of that image as part of the design would be great. Image URL: http://www.ebbemunk.dk/alice/15caterpillar.jpg . We also want to incorporate an angelic figure eating a piece of candy in the design….and we like this image: http://images.gfxartist.com/images/…/46400.jpg. The fairy would replace Alice, the caterpillar's 'mushroom' seat would be replaced with a mound of candy and circles of smoke would surround both figures.
Primary basics.
1. No direct references to marijuana or cannabis (pictures or words) 2. It is ok to incorporate the caterpillar's hookah pipe in the logo. 3. We want it elegant looking but simple (nothing too complex, or hard to read) and fun. Sensi Seeds has a great logo and everyone recognizes it and their name is easy to read…it is similar to what I am looking for in terms of elegance and readability of the overall final design. Here is the link: http://forum.sensiseeds.com/style_S…iseeds.jpg
Typeface must easy to read and legible from a web page print. Colors in earth tones (include green). OK to experiment with colors on candy pile.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

Killin sits in the Scottish Highlands of what used to be Perthshire but after a boundary shift, is now in the Stirling Council region. The beautiful back roads feature almost-hidden quaint B&Bs, evidence of the Trossachs' popularity as a holiday retreat from the major urban areas. This is Rob Roy McGregor country. The village I was expecting turned out to be more like a 21st century town. Note to self: Stop living in the 18th century. Killin now includes the former surrounding villages of Monemore, Ballechroisk, and others.
More thinking to do. Why am I getting this sinking feeling that gt-gt-gt-grandad Duncan's grandfather may have drifted into Killin from Inverness-shire where the Lovat Frasers were concentrated? Lizzie has reached the same hypothesis. He would have been a young and healthy age at the time of the Battle of Culloden. Note to self: Get a grip on your imagination; new Fraser posting needed.

Hi Brenda ~ I'm SO enjoying your Scotland posts! Makes me long to go back. Even if you don't find ALL the records and gravestones, its just wonderful to be walking were they walked.

Thanks, Diana. I agree, there's nothing like *being* there. It's also wonderful to be wearing sturdy 21st century shoes while doing it, whereas a lot of them often went barefoot a few hundred years ago ;-)

Photo: Pete Souza/White House
President Barack Obama jokes around with U.S. Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney by mimicking her signature "not impressed" look on Nov. 15 during a visit to the White House's Oval Office by members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics teams.
Maroney was considered the favorite to win gold medal for the vault category after executing a nearly perfect first vault early in the competition. However, after an unfortunate fall on her backside during her final vault, she was dropped down to second place.
Maroney was seen scowling during the medal ceremony in the wake of her silver medal win, and after a photographer captured the priceless expression, the image quickly went viral and triggered the creation of a new internet meme called "McKayla Maroney is Not Impressed."

text: The National Aquarium was joined today by honored guests, esteemed partners, elected officials and supporters from the community to officially unveil the National Aquarium Conservation Center and kick off its celebration of the Baltimore venue's 30th anniversary year. In 2009 the National Aquarium board approved the formation of the National Aquarium Conservation Center and appointed Dr. Erik Rifkin as its interim executive director. The National Aquarium Conservation Center is the next stage in the National Aquarium's growth from a successful attraction with conservation as its primary message, to a nationally-recognized and respected conservation Institute that measures success in how it impacts people and the environment. "Since opening in 1981, the National Aquarium has evolved from being one iconic building in Baltimore to an Institute, with conservation at its core, that operates two exciting attractions and serves as a dynamic education resource," commented Dave Pittenger, executive director. "We have a rich history of conservation initiatives on the Chesapeake Bay, around the world in places like Bahamas and Costa Rica, and through our Animal Rescue program. And now this Conservation Center will build upon our strong legacy of service to the environment." Through pioneering science and partnerships with like-minded organizations, the National Aquarium Conservation Center will focus its efforts on the protection of aquatic ecosystems worldwide through scientific research, education, and advocacy. The National Aquarium Conservation Center will also be a voice and advocate for work the Aquarium already has underway, including long-term initiatives to protect coral reefs, to control lion fish proliferation, and to restore Chesapeake Bay wetlands and shoreline. "This research and advocacy entity gives the National Aquarium another means to tackle pressing issues that impact the aquatic environment, and to advance as a global conservation center of excellence for marine conservation," explains Dr. Rifkin. "In just one year we have established solid partnerships with like-minded organizations and already have several exciting research studies underway." The initial emphasis of the National Aquarium Conservation Center includes coastal ecosystems and watershed health, ocean health, environmental advocacy and ecological aquaculture. Some of this work is already underway. The National Aquarium Conservation Center has formed dynamic partnerships and begun research initiatives with respected organizations including Mote Marine Laboratory, the University of Maryland's Center of Marine Biotechnology and Johns Hopkins University's Center for Contaminant Transport, Fate, and Remediation. Already, the Conservation Center is leading several research initiatives that will increase understanding of mercury levels in wild and captives dolphins, quantify sediment contaminant in the Baltimore Harbor, protect spotted eagle rays, and promote the future of aquaculture. This includes a comprehensive study currently underway in Florida's Sarasota Bay, designed to ensure that pre- and post- Deepwater Horizon oil spill impact status on the bay's habitats and biota is documented as rigorously as possible in order to enable scientists to demonstrate causality between the release of oil and injured resources and/or lost human use of those resources and services. As a result of that initiative, Dr. Rifkin was invited to testify to a United States Senate subcommittee about the importance of independent research in the wake of ecological disasters like the oil spill in the Gulf. Much of the National Aquarium Conservation Center's work lies ahead. Dr. Rifkin, colleagues and partners will be exploring initiatives with other aquariums, processes for sharing learning and knowledge with peers in animal husbandry, how to incorporate scientific findings into exhibits at display venues in Baltimore and Washington, DC and into public communications, and advocacy work for dolphins and small cetaceans in the wild. "Human impact on the world's ecosystems is profound. As habitats are destroyed or degraded, the diversity of species and the complex relationships among them are threatened, with consequences for all living things – including humans," commented Bill Roberts, chair of the National Aquarium Institute board. "Zoos and aquariums have both the capacity and the responsibility not to simply increase public awareness of conservation issues but to take action. The National Aquarium is ready to do more."

University at Buffalo, SUNY Professor Phil Arena contra the Monkey Cage's Andrew Gelman:
Gelman's argument is essentially that pB – c > 0 will hold for altruists even though it cannot plausibly hold for narrowly self-interested voters. (If you haven't seen this formulation before: p is the probability that your individual vote determines the outcome of the election, B is the benefit of having your preferred candidate win, and c is the cost of voting.) He first stipulates, quite reasonably, that p is approximately 1/n, where n is the size of the electorate. A narrowly self-interested voter is very unlikely to find the cost of voting to be worth incurring because p is so small that B provides almost no off-set to c. For an altruistic voter, B is assumed to increase in direct proportion to N, where N is the total population. As N goes up, n likely goes up, and p goes down, but if B goes up too, then that's no problem, and it's very likely that the cost of voting is worth bearing.
My critique is essentially this: B cannot go up anywhere near as rapidly in N as Gelman says for a true altruist, because an altruist would also care about the fact that the number of people made worse off by the election of their preferred candidate is also strictly increasing in N. If B increases in N, but at a slower rate than p decreases with N, then the instrumental argument falls apart. My claim is that one must either hold implausible beliefs about the extent to which politics creates both winners and losers or must be frighteningly insensitive to the well-being of the losers in order for B to increase in N rapidly enough to offset the decrease in p. As I said, that doesn't necessarily make one stupid, as Levitt said that voting to affect the outcome does. But it doesn't say anything particularly flattering about you either.

Recent Survey of 55-64 Year-Olds Shows 58% Not Delaying Retirement Despite Current Economic Conditions – But Are Looking for Help on Making the Transition
Public Company Information:
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. announced the launch of Real Life Retirement™ Services, a new offering providing practical help for people making the transition to retirement. Many people transitioning to retirement are asking themselves: Can I afford to retire? How are my expenses likely to change? When should I take Social Security? What's the best way to generate monthly income? Schwab's Real Life Retirement™ Services provides answers to these questions.
"We have a different point-of-view from other financial firms in how we approach retirement. For most people, retirement isn't about hang-gliding or hitting the golf course every day. People dream of balance – enjoying a comfortable lifestyle, covering healthcare costs, spending time with family and friends, and making sure they won't run out of money," said Mark Jamison, vice president, Charles Schwab. "We chose to build a service that addresses real life challenges people are facing today, which typically don't involve a life sailing around the world," he added.
Preparing for retirement has never been more challenging than it is today, particularly for those looking to retire within the next 10 years. Despite the challenges, many remain focused on their original retirement timelines, and are searching for help in making the necessary adjustments. In a pulse survey Schwab conducted Jan. 7 through Jan. 14, 2009, several ongoing concerns about retirement surfaced. One in four (26%) adults surveyed ages 55-64 do not know whose advice to trust when it comes to retirement planning. Additionally, 33% of 55-64 year olds indicated they are confused about weighing the immediate marketplace alongside their long-term goals.
Schwab Real Life Retirement™: A Practical Approach
Ongoing discussions with investors, focus groups, an online community, and proprietary market research led to the creation of Schwab Real Life Retirement™ Services.
First Step: A Personal Retirement Conversation
To kick-start the conversation, Schwab provides a retirement consultation that is complimentary. This consultation with a Schwab professional provides practical advice for the years leading up to and making the transition to retirement and covers:
- Options to close the gap between expected income and expenses
- Portfolio recommendations focused on potential income while also allowing for growth potential to help savings last longer
- Recommendations on ways to generate income from your savings
- Guidance on which investments to draw down first to generate additional income
- Support making the decision on when to consider taking Social Security based on age, work and income needs
Solutions for Income Generation
From CDs to bonds to annuities, Schwab can help find investments to meet retirement income needs including:
- Access to the new Schwab Income Mutual Fund Select List™ — which helps to easily find mutual funds designed to provide income (to help cover expenses) plus growth (to help assets last)
- Assistance with fixed income investing available during regular trading hours, along with Schwab's main toll-free assistance hotline available 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- An annuity cost comparison tool to help clients with exchanges
- Manage your income and consolidate your accounts with the help of a rollover concierge
Dedicated Online Destination
Schwab is unveiling a dedicated site for those making the transition to retirement — www.schwab.com/RealLifeRetirement. The site features real questions from real people, and was built based on concerns shared by clients. Within the site, visitors will find:
- Inspiration from peers discussing their own retirement
- A place to ask questions and share their own experiences
- A peer comparison and other retirement planning tools
- Questions and answers from Schwab market experts
- Video commentary on retirement issues from Schwab consultants
"We know making the transition to retirement is a dramatic mind-shift for many people: preparing to live off the money they have spent a lifetime accumulating. This presents an enormous challenge that tugs at both their practical and emotional sides, especially in this market environment when people are suddenly rethinking what their retirement might look like. We have these kinds of conversations every day with our clients, and that is why we created this service," said Jamison.
About the Study
Schwab commissioned a national telephone Omnibus survey Jan. 7 through Jan. 14, 2009. The survey consists of 1,000 adults 18 years of age or older in the contiguous U.S.A. An omnibus is a shared cost data collection vehicle. All omnibus interviews are conducted using computer assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) system. An unrestricted random sampling procedure (RDD) will be employed in the selection of households for telephone interviewing.
Completed interviews are weighted by four variables: age, sex, geographic region, and race, to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total population, 18 years of age and older.
The number of people surveyed in each age bracket is as follows: 18-34 years old, 303; 35-44 years old, 186; 45-54 years old, 195; 55-64 years old, 148; and 65+ years old, 164.
Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can request a prospectus by calling 800-435-4000. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investment value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost

It is a new week for the UCSB softball team, but unfortunately last week's offensive struggles have carried over as Santa Barbara dropped its first two games at the Gaucho Classic on Thursday at Campus Diamond. The Gauchos (4-9) fell to Drexel (2-4) by way of 4-2 score before being shutout by North Dakota State (7-5), 2-0, in the second game of their doubleheader.
Drexel opened the scoring in the first game of the tournament as Paige Collings hit a two-out solo home run over the left field fence to give the Dragons an early advantage.
The Gauchos tied things up in the second when sophomore Lainey DePompa hit her own solo homer over the center field fence, but the Dragons did not trail for long.
At the top of the third, Hanna Parrish hit a single to second and then stole second base. Rachel Campbell then reached first when the Gauchos made a throwing error while fielding her sacrifice bunt to put two runners on with no outs. One steal by Campbell and one out later, Ashley Bothelo was hit by a pitch loading the bases. Another Gaucho error ensued during Hillary Allen's at-bat and Parrish was able come home for the unearned run. UCSB pitcher Lindsey Correa took down the next two batters in order as the Dragons left three base runners stranded.
The next inning, Campbell hit an RBI single to left field driving Devon Metcalf home and putting the Dragons up 3-1.
The Gauchos scored again at the bottom of the sixth when Brooke Putich hit a two-out RBI single to left field driving Jessica Beristianos home and cutting the Drexel lead to just one run.
Bachmann scored one more, unearned, run for Drexel at the top of the seventh when Laura Stagliano grounded out to second base, giving the Dragons the final lead of 4-2.
Correa (1-3) tossed the complete game allowing just two earned runs on seven hits. She struck out three and did not give up a single walk. Putich led the team at the plate going 2-for-2 with an RBI and a walk.
In the second game of the day, North Dakota State's Whitney Johnson pitched a complete game one-hitter walking four and striking out 13, leading the Bison to the shutout victory.
North Dakota State scored both of its runs on a two-run homer hit by Taylor Mortensen over the left center field fence at the bottom of the fourth. Mortenson went 2-for-2 at the plate with a walk and a stolen base in the win.
Despite suffering the loss, UCSB pitcher MeLinda Matsumoto (2-3) had a strong showing in the circle. The senior allowed just two earned runs on five hits while walking just one and striking out four.
Senior Jessica Ziegler had the lone Gaucho hit of the game, a one-out single hit perfectly to the gap between the Bison left fielder and shortstop.
The Gauchos will look to snap their eight-game losing skid on Friday as they continue action at the Gaucho Classic. UCSB will take-on Wisconsin at 8:30 a.m. for the first game of the day.

President Obama's second Inaugural Address offered a lot for progressives to like. There was the spirited defense of gay rights; there was the equally spirited defense of the role of government, and, in particular, of the safety net provided by Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. But arguably the most encouraging thing of all was what he didn't say: He barely mentioned the budget deficit.
Mr. Obama's clearly deliberate neglect of Washington's favorite obsession was just the latest sign that the self-styled deficit hawks — better described as deficit scolds — are losing their hold over political discourse. And that's a very good thing.
Why have the deficit scolds lost their grip? I'd suggest four interrelated reasons.
First, they have cried wolf too many times. They've spent three years warning of imminent crisis — if we don't slash the deficit now now now, we'll turn into Greece, Greece, I tell you. It is, for example, almost two years since Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles declared that we should expect a fiscal crisis within, um, two years.
But that crisis keeps not happening. The still-depressed economy has kept interest rates at near-record lows despite large government borrowing, just as Keynesian economists predicted all along. So the credibility of the scolds has taken an understandable, and well-deserved, hit.
Second, both deficits and public spending as a share of G.D.P. have started to decline — again, just as those who never bought into the deficit hysteria predicted all along.
The truth is that the budget deficits of the past four years were mainly a temporary consequence of the financial crisis, which sent the economy into a tailspin — and which, therefore, led both to low tax receipts and to a rise in unemployment benefits and other government expenses. It should have been obvious that the deficit would come down as the economy recovered. But this point was hard to get across until deficit reduction started appearing in the data.
Now it has — and reasonable forecasts, like those of Jan Hatzius of Goldman Sachs, suggest that the federal deficit will be below 3 percent of G.D.P., a not very scary number, by 2015.
And it was, in fact, a good thing that the deficit was allowed to rise as the economy slumped. With private spending plunging as the housing bubble popped and cash-strapped families cut back, the willingness of the government to keep spending was one of the main reasons we didn't experience a full replay of the Great Depression. Which brings me to the third reason the deficit scolds have lost influence: the contrary doctrine, the claim that we need to practice fiscal austerity even in a depressed economy, has failed decisively in practice.
Consider, in particular, the case of Britain. In 2010, when the new government of Prime Minister David Cameron turned to austerity policies, it received fulsome praise from many people on this side of the Atlantic. For example, the late David Broder urged President Obama to "do a Cameron"; he particularly commended Mr. Cameron for "brushing aside the warnings of economists that the sudden, severe medicine could cut short Britain's economic recovery and throw the nation back into recession."
Sure enough, the sudden, severe medicine cut short Britain's economic recovery, and threw the nation back into recession.
At this point, then, it's clear that the deficit-scold movement was based on bad economic analysis. But that's not all: there was also clearly a lot of bad faith involved, as the scolds tried to exploit an economic (not fiscal) crisis on behalf of a political agenda that had nothing to do with deficits. And the growing transparency of that agenda is the fourth reason the deficit scolds have lost their clout.
What was it that finally pulled back the curtain here? Was it the way the election campaign revealed Representative Paul Ryan, who received a "fiscal responsibility" award from three leading deficit-scold organizations, as the con man he always was? Was it the decision of David Walker, alleged crusader for sound budgets, to endorse Mitt Romney and his budget-busting tax cuts for the rich? Or was it the brazenness of groups like Fix the Debt — basically corporate C.E.O.'s declaring that you should be forced to delay your retirement while they get to pay lower taxes?
The answer probably is, all of the above. In any case, an era has ended. Prominent deficit scolds can no longer count on being treated as if their wisdom, probity and public-spiritedness were beyond question. But what difference will that make?
Sad to say, G.O.P. control of the House means that we won't do what we should be doing: spend more, not less, until the recovery is complete. But the fading of deficit hysteria means that the president can turn his focus to real problems. And that's a move in the right direction.

Texas A&M player killed in overnight crash
COLLEGE STATION — A Texas A&M freshman defensive lineman from Euless and two other teens were killed overnight Monday in a one-vehicle rollover crash in New Mexico.
Polo Manukainiu, 19, was a passenger in a 2002 Toyota Sequoia that was traveling south on U.S. 550 near Cuba, N.M. about 6:52 p.m. Mountain time when the SUV drifted off of the roadway, New Mexico State Police Sgt. Emmanuel Gutierrez said. The driver overcorrected and the SUV rolled several times.
Gutierrez said Manukainiu and another passenger, Andrew Uhatafe, 13, were ejected from the SUV and died. Gaius Vaenuku, 18, an incoming member of the Utah football team, was also pronounced dead at the location.
The driver, Siaosi Uhatafe, 18, and his father, Salesi Uhatafe, were taken to San Juan Medical Center in Farmington, N.M. with minor injuries.
"We lost a terrific young man," Texas A&M head football Coach Kevin Sumlin said in a statement released by the school. "Polo was loved by his teammates and coaches. Anyone who came in contact with him was struck by his sense of humor and smile. My heart aches for his mom and family members."
Manukainiu, who helped lead Trinity High School in Euless to an undefeated regular season in 2011, and rivals rated him the No. 30 overall defensive end in the nation coming out of high school, was driving back from Utah when the crash occurred.
The driver was not intoxicated, Gutierrez said, though speeding has not yet been ruled out as a factor. Siaosi Uhatafe was the only person in the SUV wearing a seatbelt.
One of Manukainiu's last posts on Twitter reads, "22 hour drive back to Texas on no sleep. Oh my."
Manukainiu's Twitter followers, many of them friends, posted comments of condolences.
"(My) Heart hurts waking up to news about Polo," A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, tweeted. "I think I speak for everyone on our team when I say we love you brother you will be missed."
The Aggies are supposed to report for camp Sunday and start practice Monday.
Coming off an 11-2 finish in their first year in the Southeastern Conference, including an upset at top-ranked Alabama, this is considered A&M's most anticipated season in history.
Manukainiu, who redshirted last season, was expected to compete for playing time on a defensive line that lost starters Spencer Nealy (a senior leader and the Aggie Heart Award winner) and junior Damontre Moore to the NFL.
Manukainiu was a recreation, parks and tourism science major and is survived by his mother, Lima Uhatafe of Euless. Manukainiu helped Trinity High School to an undefeated regular season and the state playoffs in 2011 as an all-district defensive end and was a four-star recruit according to ESPN.
A&M sports are no stranger to tragedy involving automobile accidents in recent years.
In December 2011, A&M reserve offensive lineman Joey Villavisencio was killed south of Normangee while en route home to Jacksonville, Texas, for the holidays. Also, incoming freshman Tobi Oyedeji, a highly-recruited basketball player, was killed in May 2010 following his Bellaire High prom. He was supposed to move to College Station only a few weeks later.

There is an Italian proverb which reads 'vivere da malato per morire sano' - living like an invalid to die healthy. Whilst that is looking at one lifestyle extreme, looking after your body is generally seen as a positive if you want to live a long and healthy life. Prevention is indeed, generally seen as being better than the cure. The same concept applied to information systems can produce some interesting results.
From a non-security perspective, I would say, most management approaches and project budgets, are focused on the reactive. IT has historically, not always been seen as an efficiency provider for the business, with budget often only being assigned, when it's acknowledged that the business front line would be negatively impacted if a system, project or team would were not present. From a security perspective, I think reactionary policy is still deep in the mindset too.
Reactionary Security
When you casually think of information security tools and products, how many are naturally related to post incident or reacting? Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and logging tools are generally post-incident, as if the event has been logged it's surely already occurred. File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) another post-incident approach. Anti-virus and anti-malware software, could arguably be reactive, as you are checking signatures for a known attack, indicating the software has already been spotted if an alert is triggered. The flip side to something like anti-virus, is that although something malicious has been spotted, you are preventing the real impact, which would occur if the malware were left to spread. Identity and Access Management (IAM) could be deemed to purely proactive however, as the process is attempting to restrict access before an issue could occur, either through malicious or non-malicious means.
Ethical hacking and penetration testing is another more proactive industry, but often, these services are not engaged until after an organisation or application has been attacked and breached previously. Budget release, especially for cyber security related technologies, is often easier, after an organisation has been attacked.
Moving to Proactive
Security has several issues from a proactive implementation perspective. Like anything, a detailed return on investment, including both tangible and non-tangible benefits, is required in order to sanction a project which wont necessarily deliver something immediately. Proactive security is more of a mindset and long term strategy, which can often be hindered if an organisation is then attacked after implementing a more proactive approach.
The implicit embedding of security in all software, projects and processes is often key to shifting to a more proactive standpoint. This can be difficult at several levels. Developers operating in the software development life cycle, are often more focused on time to delivery and software quality, with approaches such as Agile and eXtreme Programming (XP) not necessarily making security a high priority. Security can often be seen to slow down the development process and take attention away from use cases the client wants completing.
From a business process perspective, security can often be seen as inhibitive or restrictive. Again, time is a factor, but also, non-technical personnel are quite rightly more focused on their individual business use cases: delivering products, realising revenue opportunities and keeping customers happy. Unless, security is silently embedded into a process, it too can be see as time consuming and non-essential. Until, of course, a breach of attack occurs.
Security awareness is often a key part of the progress towards a more proactive approach. Awareness not only at every day non-technical personnel, via regular on line training and workshops, but also at the board level too. Security metrics can be used to help promote the idea that security up front is often more cost effective and business efficient than spending thousands on post-incident consultancy and investigative products.
