Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.
What we call "morals" is simply blind obedience to words of command.

Discretion of speech is more than eloquence; and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words or in good order.
When you make as many speeches and you talk as much as I do and you get away from the text, it's always a possibility to get a few words tangled here and there.
Euthanasia is a long, smooth-sounding word, and it conceals its danger as long, smooth words do, but the danger is there, nevertheless

Use soft words and hard arguments

The one-liner is often uttered along press row. It used to be funny. Not so much now.
At some point during the first period of scoreless and effortless snooze-fests, one colleague will lean over to another and pose the somewhat comical question: "So, who do you like in the shootout?"
Yes, it has come to this.
As the NHL points to its version of parity -- tight playoff races in both conferences that now feature perennial doormats -- it has turned a blind eye to the third-period malaise.
Teams are elated to escape with a point and take their chances to double up in overtime or the shootout, but there should be more urgency to settle the issue in regulation time.
And there should be an extended overtime before resorting to a skills show that kills momentum on the ice and in the stands.
By the time the Zamboni clears the shootout path and players are picked and prodded to travel the performance plank, the only thing missing is a blindfold and cigarette, because so many look so uncomfortable with the process.
Quite frankly, it's a gimmick, but nobody wants a tie game.
As much as Mason Raymond's spin-a-rama shootout winner for the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday in Columbus raised eyebrows -- mostly to ensure it was legal attempt -- the winger executed the same move for a shootout win in Tampa last season. And he set the table for victory with a similar successful shootout spin on Long Island in 2010-11.
Raymond first saw Marc-Pierre Bouchard execute the spin-a-rama shootout for the Minnesota Wild and then tried it in the 2009-10 pre-season.
"It's a high-risk, high-reward move and, if it works, good," said Raymond.
However, it's not good for traditionalists. They wince at the circus-like show and reference the failed Kaspars Daugavins ringette-like effort Monday in which the Ottawa Senators winger pinned the puck with the toe of his stick blade and tried a spin-a-rama move on Boston Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask.
Even though penalty shots can be viewed in the same manner, traditionalist argue that a staged breakaway is not a hockey play and shouldn't determine the final outcome. And you can argue spin-a-rama moves aren't always of a continuous forward motion when the puck is corralled for a backhand.
When Marek Malik drew the puck back between his legs on a Nov. 26, 2005, shootout and then flicked it past a startled Olaf Kolzig in a record 15th round, the NHL had to add a motion amendment to the rule.
That made the shootout easier for former goalie Kelly Hrudey to embrace, although the Hockey Night in Canada commentator feels for those stoppers in the skills show.
"Absolutely I do," Hrudey said Wednesday. "But since the league made it (amendment), I've learned to live with it and accept it. In the name of trying to get more entertainment in the shootout with spin-a-ramas, it's really breaking the spirit of the attempt. But I can't take my eyes of the screen when it goes to a shootout. I know a lot of people think it's gimmicky, but to me a penalty shot is in the rule book, just as long as the shootout doesn't end a game in the playoffs or international play."
Still, there's a better way to settle issues earlier, but it may also rattle traditionalists.
Award three points for a regulation victory to add urgency. While that would create separation in the standings, it would also create better games because overtime and shootout winners would only collect two points and the loser a single point in all concepts.
And when the five minute four-on-four extra session doesn't result in a goal, the suggestion made a year ago by Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland should be more than just a casual talking point when GMs convene later this month.
Follow up the four-on-four with a three-on-three overtime over another five minutes. The two segments would not only heighten hockey plays producing winning goals, it would lessen the importance and perhaps the appeal of the shootout.
If television networks balk at adding another five minutes, chop each intermission by a few minutes to get the same time frame.
"I'm conflicted because that would solve more games in overtime if you had more ice time, but how much more are we going to ask of NHL players?" asked Hrudey. "Players are already dog-tired, and I don't know if it's fair to ask them to play more."

Discover Two Leaves and a Bud's line of Loose Teas
Although we believe that our sachets bring out all of the best in tea, for those of you who are intent on tradition, Two leaves and a bud offers loose leaf tea for the traditional tea drinkers who brew tea in a teapot. Whole leaf tea leaves require space and water circulation in order to swell, unfurl and infuse properly. Our Elephantino teapot is perfect for one cup of tea – it comes with its own infuser! How much tea do I need per cup? It is called a teaspoon for a reason….generally just add one teaspoon of loose tea per 12 – 16 oz. of hot water. In larger teapots, add that much tea plus one for the pot.

A case for the Tea sachet
Tea bags have a bad reputation, but at Two Leaves and a Bud, because our bag is really a sachet, we believe you will taste the difference right away. We love tea sachets! They make brewing a better cuppa' tea easy! two leaves and a bud tea sachets are filled with super-premium whole leaf tea. Unlike normal tea bags that are filled with dust, whole leaf tea gives you the full flavor of tea. Our sachets are made of biodegradable cornstarch based nylon, not petroleum based nylon. They are pyramid shaped to allow the whole leaves to circulate and infuse properly, without the mess of brewing loose leaf tea. Tea sachets also brew up a great glass of iced tea – they don't fall apart in your glass!

Who is Two Leaves and a Bud…
We founded two leaves and a bud tea company because we couldn't find a great cuppa' tea. Founder Richard Rosenfeld traveled extensively in Asia and India, but found himself frustrated by the lack of good tea in North America. He started two leaves and a bud tea company to bring great teas to tea drinkers here. two leaves and a bud tea company is based in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado, just down the road from Aspen. Snowy mornings, even in the summer, are not uncommon and we drink a lot of tea. two leaves and a bud teas have received praise and awards from around the world, including a Best New Tea award for 2005-2006 from the Specialty Coffee Association of the United States.

Safeguard Pest Control
Get rid of squirrels
The Cliffnotes Version:
Squirrels not only chew big holes in your roof, gutter, and eaves. Squirrels in the attic are also known to chew on electrical wires causing power outages and house fires see- suicide squirrels .
We get rid of squirrels in three easy - time proven steps: 1, Initial inspection and control set-up (live traps); 2, Trap check and squirrel removal; 3, Exclusion, also known as 'build-out' and final inspection and removal of traps.
Squirrel control is not as easy as just stapling up some screen - if you trap squirrels in the attic - they will chew new holes to get out - through your roof if you are lucky, through your ceiling if you aren't. If you just screen them out, they will chew new holes to get in.
Squirrel control is not as simple as setting out a few traps. Squirrels are smart, they learn quickly. If they have ever been trapped before - you may never trap them again. If you let them out within 50 miles they will come back. They should never be let out in a park - its causes aggressive squirrel behavior - where squirrels attack people and pets, and it promotes rabidity. The common Eastern Gray Squirrel, pictured above and to the left, cannot survive in the forest. If you don't squirrel proof your home - new squirrels will move in - often within days.
There is never just one squirrel. Our technicians are highly trained on squirrel control, behavior, and exclusion. YOU MUST HAVE A NUISANCE WILDLIFE PERMIT TO TRAP SQUIRRELS.
Step One - Initial Service
Our professional squirrel control begins with a thorough inspection of your home, especially at the roof and eave level.
We write up a report detailing the access points that the squirrels are using or could potentially use to get inside your home. We also look for conducive conditions that make your home attractive to squirrels.
Our goal is to get rid of squirrels, the ones you have currently through live trapping, and prevent the potential future squirrels you could have down the road - by squirrel proofing your home.
In the process of our inspection we put out live traps, arranged for the best possible effect, typically on the exterior. Next we discuss squirrel proofing - keeping the squirrels out.
Step Two - Trap check and squirrel removal
The state requires that live traps placed for squirrel control must be checked every 24 hours for activity and that any trapped squirrels should be removed in a timely manner.
We put out two to three traps at each home on our first visit. Often it takes two or three follow-up visits to remove all the squirrels in the attic or roof. On rare occasions squirrel removal can take more than two or three follow-ups
We almost always place the traps on the exterior, if possible. It allows us to stop by and get the traps if no one is home. Also, trapped squirrels are noisy and if one gets trapped at night - you will loose sleep.
It is important that the squirrels are not let out of our traps - please see the side bar about the states requirements regarding trapped squirrels. It is state law and we have to follow it. Unfortunately, we deal with homeowners on a regular basis who let out squirrels that we can no longer catch and it leads to increased costs and damage.
No more squirrels in attic
Step Three - Exclusion, final service, and trap removal
The report we made during our inspection on our first visit detailed what needs to be done to squirrel proof your home. It is vitally important this work gets done and gets done promptly - as soon as we have caught your squirrels. Please check the link above and to the left for more info on exclusion.
If we are doing the exclusion, and we strongly urge you to have us, the squirrel exclusion experts, do the work, we like to do it as soon as we think all squirrels are trapped.
We may recommend placement of one trap in your attic, just in case a squirrel was trapped inside.
Squirrel removal accomplished
That's it. If we followed all three steps completely, including the exclusion, 99% of all homes will be squirrel free. No more squirrels in the attic.
We understand that squirrel removal and exclusion is not cheap and that no one wants to spend any more money than they have to, to get rid of squirrels. We pride ourselves on being local, effective, and affordable. However, squirrels cause structural damage to homes and even fires. You really want to have the work done right.
Safeguard has been getting rid of squirrel problems for over 20 years. Our goal is to do referral worthy work for all of our customers.
Choose Safeguard - we do really good work at really reasonable prices.
Other pest control services
Rodent exclusion or 'build-out' is the most important part of the control process. It may be impossible to control your current squirrel problem without it.
Squirrels will ALWAYS return to a place they have been before unless your structure is altered to keep them out.
Many dedicated and well meaning do-it-your-self ers hate the idea of paying for someone else to do something they feel they should be able to tackle themselves.
However, 95% of homeowners who opt to do their own exclusion - never get around to it. Leading to future inspections, additional rodent contamination and damage, and additional future costs.
95% of the work we inspect which has been performed by contractors and handymen does not meet the exacting levels necessary to keep your home free of squirrels.
In additional to requiring a Nuisance Wildlife Permit to trap squirrels - the state requires that anyone altering a home have a contractor's license - we have both.
The state is very specific in what it says we can and cannot do with trapped squirrels.
We cannot let them go in another neighborhood. Squirrels in one area have specific diseases and specific immunities - releasing squirrels into different areas may spread diseases and kill off large populations of squirrels.
Letting squirrels go in the same neighborhood - even after we squirrel proof your home guarantees that one of your neighbors will get a home damaging, possibly wire chewing squirrel - so we can't do that.
We can't let them go in a park because too many uneducated homeowners already do that and the pressure that puts on squirrel populations to get food and find nests causes aggressive squirrel behaviors and rabidity - and no one wants rabid squirrels.
We cannot let them go in the forest because they have no skills to survive in the wild - they would only starve, sicken, and suffer.

Ninjago cupcakes recipe
Do you have a little Ninja running around your house? If you do, then he may just fall in love with these cute cupcakes. They look fancy but anyone can have fun making these!
Birthday cakes, Cake stall, Cakes & Baking, Cupcakes, Easy recipes, Kids cooking, Party food
- 1 quantity chocolate cupcakes
- 2 x 500g pkts Orchard ready-made white icing
- liquid or gel food colouring – red, blue, yellow and black
- 1 small round cookie cutter
- 1 large round cookie cutter
- icing sugar, sifted
- fine paintbrush
Step 1. Make 18 chocolate cupcakes.
Step 2. Divide one packet of white icing into three portions. Tint one portion red, one blue and leave the third portion white. Take the remaining packet of icing and tint yellow.
Step 3. Roll out the yellow icing and cut disks using the small cookie cutter. Place a disk on each cupcake.
Step 4. Roll out the remaining coloured icings and cut 6 large disks from each colour – one to cover the top of each cupcake. Use a pen lid to stamp out eye slots and neaten edges by trimming with a sharp knife.
Step 5. Place icing disk over the yellow layer on each cupcake and smooth over with your hands.
Step 6. Take a small paintbrush and use the black food colouring to paint eyes on each cupcake.
- Don't fear the icing. To add the colouring I just make a dent in the surface and place a few drops in. Then I fold the icing over and over until I have the desired colour evenly spread throughout the icing.
- If the icing gets a bit too sticky you can sprinkle a little icing sugar on the bench and your hands to dry it out.
- If the icing is firm you can place it in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften it before adding the food colouring.
- This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot, Australia's best recipe finder.

Ubuntu's Lucid Lynx sprays sweet perfume at freeloaders
Marking out the roadmap
Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra's Agentless Software
The founder of Linux distie Ubuntu has outlined plans for the platform's next release (10.04), which is expected to land in April 2010.
Mark Shuttleworth said in a video message to attendees of the open source outfit's UbuCon Atlanta meeting yesterday, that the next version of the distribution carries the code name Lucid Lynx.
Ubuntu 10.04 will be based on the Gnome 2.0 desktop, he said. The release, which is scheduled for Spring next year, will - on the server side - take Debian's horizontal scalability and try pushing it into cloud computing.
Future versions of the distie will support the Gnome 3.0, said Shuttleworth, who described Lucid Lynx as the "pinnacle of Gnome 2.0".
Lucid Lynx will be Ubuntu's third long-term support (LTS) release.
"In practising the art of building Ubuntu and creating this enormous community, we've not lost sight of the importance of delivering all of that goodness from all of those many communities on a predictable cadance," said Shuttleworth.
"Delivering Ubuntu 10.04 as an LTS, is the definitive proof that that two-year cadence works."
He added that the name of the next distie represents a "calm" and sustained approach.
"Lynx is a predator but it's a very thoughtful, considerate predator," said Shuttleworth, who also noted that it's a brand name for a rather well-known men's deodorant.
All of which got Shuttleworth proclaiming that this year's Ubuntu Developer Summit would be the "sweetest smelling" ever. ®
Where do freeloaders come into this? Are all open-source users freeloaders now in the eyes of El Reg? Have you become twisted hacks?
A very thoughtful, considerate predator
I was attacked by a Lynx once - it repeatedly asked if I was comfortable as I lay on the ground with its jaws clamped round my throat, and after the attack it sent me flowers.
Hey ladies
"Lynx is a predator but it's a very thoughtful, considerate predator," said Shuttleworth, who also noted that it's a brand name for a rather well-known men's deodorant."
Is that the kind of predator that leaves his number in the morning after a wee cuddle (as opposed to the Microsoft version that sneaks out at 4 in the morning after failing to perform??)

Not yet as common in India as it is in developed countries, online property auctions are picking up in India. A few property portals in India have taken up online auctions of distressed properties under the SARFAESI (Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest) Act. Some banks, too, have been experimenting with property portals to conduct online auctions.
Some countries carry out auctions in India for their residents; some of these are open even for Indians. Recently LFC International Real Estate Brokerage LLC and Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Agency Auction and Brokerage invited bids for an online auction for an entire corporate floor in Burj Khalifa, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This one was open for Indians.
Contrary to popular belief, an auction raises the sale price of a property, say market observers we spoke to.
How is the process initiated?
The initial part of the process is similar to that in offline auctions. About 30 days before the date of the auction, advertisements are published in one English and one regional daily paper. To participate in it, interested parties need to present their bids in sealed envelopes to the auctioneer/authority along with a certain percentage of reserve price as earnest money deposit. The amount is refundable if one withdraws from the process or does not win the bid.
However, for online auctions, the auctioneer issues a separate bid form to generate bidders' login address and password.
What happens on the day of auction?
Just like in an offline auction, in online auction, too, the bidding is place live but on a portal. On the given date, at a pre-specified time, bidders can log in to the website with their login addresses and passwords issued to them earlier. All participants can view the bids placed by others and, accordingly, revise their own.
The problems
There are various reasons why online auctions have not really taken off in India. First, people are still not savvy enough to participate in online auctions, while Internet penetration in smaller areas still remains a challenge for most.
Second, market analysts say while the bidding process is transparent, there is no way the auctioneer can stop property sharks from entering the bidding process. During the time of bidding property sharks may form a bidding group and not let retail investors enter the pool. The process defeats the purpose of auctioning in the open market.

Don't blame us about the length of the show it's all your fault with your ranting feedback emails.
The team take nearly an hour, yes an hour to wade through the torrent of bricks, bottles and one or two unmentionables in response to episode 32. Matt corrects the team, although it's not really a correction, about the audio problems on the last show which makes Pete throw his rattle out the pram.
We hear about Ouya the new Android console, and if you can pronounce the name you're a better man than us Gunga Din. The team then discuss the implications of the new potential 5 year prison sentence for not revealing your encryption key. Not forgetting the opensource man. The guys tell us about the demise of Digg and then indulge in the game of "I'm more famous than you." by recalling who they have been published by. "Hang on 'published' does that mean I get a doctorite?" We also hear about the Cisco firmware gaff.
Pete actually puts something in Archie (Woof woof) and tells us about the Arm on Gumstix project. And "I hate your blog" makes a long overdue return with a shocking outcome that leaves us all on a cliff hanger ending.
Finally we move into the feedback that takes up an almost 50% of the show, don't blame us put a contract out on the authors of the feedback! :-P

Whether you like to prepare roasts for company or for everyday meals, beef roasts are an impressive way to bring hearty winter meals to your table.
Our sale on beef roasts for $3.49 per pound will last for three days this weekend so you can shop our US stores* this Friday, January 6th, through Sunday, January 8th, to pick up this budget-friendly deal on fresh, ready-to-cook roasts!
Make sure to look for the sale signs on selected roast cuts in our meat department to find which cuts are on sale in your store.
*Types of roast cuts and limits may vary by region, so you can contact your store for details. While supplies last. Most of our stores do not provide rain checks for sales like this. This sale is valid in the continental US and Maui.
Like all of the beef we sell, these roasts come from cattle raised to our standards:
The great thing about roasts is that they are flavorful, adaptable to different flavors and — perhaps most importantly after this holiday season — they are easily prepared without much fuss and make for budget-friendly meals (especially with this sale).
I love braising roasts for seriously tasty and tender results. Here are some roast recipes to try with the roasts you pick up during this weekend's sale:
You can find more tips on cooking roasts and recipes here. Make sure you stop by our stores this weekend to pick up some beef roasts!

Science Fair Project Encyclopedia
Cognitive science
Cognitive science is usually defined as the scientific study either of mind or of intelligence (e.g. Luger 1994). Practically every introduction to cognitive science also stresses that it is highly interdisciplinary; it is often said to consist of, take part in, and collaborate with psychology (especially cognitive psychology), artificial intelligence, linguistics and psycholinguistics, philosophy (especially philosophy of mind), neuroscience, logic, robotics, anthropology and biology (including biomechanics).
Contents |
Cognitive science tends to view the world outside the mind much as other sciences do; thus it has an objective, observer-independent existence. Cognitive science is usually seen as compatible with and interdependent with the physical sciences, and makes frequent use of the scientific method, as well as simulation or modeling, often comparing the output of models with aspects of human behavior. Still, there is much disagreement about the exact relationship between cognitive science and other fields, and the inter-disciplinary nature of cognitive science is largely both unrealized and circumscribed.
Cognitive science has much to its credit. Among other accomplishments, it has given rise to models of human cognitive bias and risk perception, and has been influential in the development of behavioral finance, part of economics. It has also given rise to a new theory of the philosophy of mathematics, and many theories of artificial intelligence, persuasion and coercion. It has made its presence firmly known in philosophy of language and epistemology - a modern revival of rationalism - as well as constituting a substantial wing of modern linguistics.
Cognitive science?
The term "cognitive" in "cognitive science" is "used for any kind of mental operation or structure that can be studied in precise terms." (Lakoff and Johnson, 1999) This conceptualization is very broad, and should not be confused with how "cognitive" is used in some traditions of analytic philosophy, where "cognitive" has to do only with formal rules and truth conditional semantics. (Nonetheless, that interpretation would bring one close to the historically dominant school of thought within cognitive science on the nature of cognition - that it is essentially symbolic, propositional, and logical.)
The earliest entries for the word "cognitive" in the OED take it to mean roughly pertaining to "to the action or process of knowing". The first entry, from 1586, shows the word was at one time used in the context of discussions of Platonic theories of knowledge. Most in cognitive science, however, presumably do not believe their field is the study of anything as certain as the knowledge sought by Plato.
Many but not all who consider themselves cognitive scientists have a functionalist view of mind/intelligence, which means that, at least in theory, they study mind and intelligence from the perspective that these attributes could perhaps (at least someday) be properly attributed not only to human beings but also to, say, other animal species, alien life forms or particularly advanced computer sytems. This perspective is one of the reasons the term "cognitive science" is not exactly coextensive with neuroscience, psychology, or some combination of the two.
- dualism
- materialism
- functionalism
- mind/brain identity
- quantum mind
- Modularity of Mind
Mind/brain identity theory
The mind/brain identity theory is the idea that, whatever "mind" and "intelligence" are, they are rooted strictly in the brain, and do not make use of, depend on, or interact with anything non-physical. Nonetheless, there is reasonable consensus that there is sense in talking about the organization of the mind without talking about the organization of the brain, and that cognitive scientists are not simply neuroscientists. Often the justification for this takes place by reference to different levels of analysis. A cognitive scientist is likely to assert that what he says about reasoning is true at the symbolic level of abstraction, while what the neuroscientist says is true at the physical level implementing the symbolic level (much like a computer as a physical object implements a virtual machine on which a word-processor runs). An exploration of this is found in the Chinese Room argument, which proposes a gedanken experiment to elucidate potential loci for "cognition".
Quantum mind theory
There exist several different quantum models of mind. In one class, the brain is considered a quantum machine; in another, the brain is a classical machine that reduces the universal consciousness function.
Biocognitive theory
A model proposed by Mario E. Martinez in which cognition, biology and historical culture coemerge as an inseparable bioinformational field that contextualizes personal reality and influences health and longevity. The theory of biocognition draws from the research in psychoneuroimmunology and medical anthropology.
Particular subtopics of cognitive science arguably include perception, attention, consciousness and memory. However, these are all long established fields within psychology, and there is a constant risk that cognitive scientists will merely reinvent discarded psychological analyses under a new vocabulary.
As described, cognitive science is an expansive field. However, it should be recognized that cognitive science is not equally concerned with every topic which might bear on the nature and operation of the mind or intelligence. Social and cultural factors, emotion, consciousness, animal cognition, comparative and evolutionary approaches are frequently de-emphasized or excluded outright, often on the basis of key philosophical conflicts. Some within the cognitive science community, however, consider these to be vital topics, and advocate the importance of investigating them.
Experimental methods
- Reaction time: The time between the presentation of a stimulus and an appropriate response can indicate differences between two cognitive processes, and can indicate some things about their nature. For example, if in a search task the reaction times vary proportionally with the number of elements, then it is evident that this cognitive process of searching involves serial and not parallel processing.
- Psychophysics: Psychophysical experiments are an old psychological technique which have been adopted by cognitive psychology. They typically involve the elictation of verbal judgements of some physical property, e.g. the loudness of a sound. Correlation of subjective scales between individuals can show cognitive or sensory biases as compared to actual physical measurements.
- sameness judgements for colors, tones, textures, etc.
- threshold differences for colors, tones, textures, etc.
- Brain imagery, analyzing activity within the brain while performing various cognitive tasks.
- Scores/wins/losses in games
- Recording bodily movements in response to a task (e.g. walking towards an object)

Linguists find on one hand that humans—even the young and the uneducated—form sentences in ways apparently governed by very complicated rule systems. On the other hand, the same people are remarkably inept at identifying the rules that lie behind their own speech. Thus, linguists must resort to very indirect methods to determine what those rules might be. If speech is indeed governed by rules, they appear to be opaque to any concious consideration.
The primary basis of Chomskyan psycholinguistics is the grammaticality judgement. A native speaker of a language is asked if a sentence is grammatically correct, independent of whether or not it makes sense. For example, the sentence 'colorless green ideas sleep furiously' is nonsensical, but is felt by native speakers of English to be grammatically correct. Collections of these grammaticality judgements are used to generate putative formal (purely syntactic) descriptions of human languages in terms of grammars. (For details, see formal language, Chomsky hierarchy.) These grammars, in turn, are held to describe the speaker's linguistic competence. Other approaches to linguistics have characterized this approach as too artificial (at least as an exclusive linguistic program), questioning the meaning of grammaticality judgements, a much too frequent emphasis on the English language, and the exclusive use of orthographic (written) rather than verbal sentences.
Artificial intelligence
Main article: Artificial intelligence
Strong AI versus Weak AI
- simulation vs recreation
Symbolic vs Connectionist approaches There is some debate in the field as to whether the mind is "best" viewed as a huge array of small but individually feeble elements (i.e. neurons), or as a collection of higher-level structures, such as "symbols", "schemas", "plans", and rules. One way to view the issue is whether it is possible to accurately simulate a human brain on a computer without accurately simulating the neurons that seem to make up the human brain.

The latest pet care news, adoptable pets, and cruelty alerts.
Oh, behave! So we say to our cats at least once or twiceor a zillion timesdaily. We needed some help decoding whacky felines pronto. Luckily we were joined for an online chat by the ASPCA's Dr. Emily Weiss, Senior Director of Shelter Behavior Programs and the developer of Feline-ality™, the first research-based adoption program for cats in shelters.
Dr. Weiss had a blast answering questions about your quirky, crazy kitties! Cats keep us on our toes, that's for sure! But that's why we love them.
Hello! I've got a kitty who, most mornings, begins meowing fairly loudlybefore dawn! I have tried firmly saying "quiet" over and over after each meow. I wait until he's finally quiet before getting up, trying to give him the idea that I will get up if he's quiet. Are there any tactics to curb this "wake up!" routine? Thank you! Jules M.
As hard as it sounds, to stop the behavior it is important not only to "not get up"but to not stir, also. Simply, he has learned that your stirring, then saying "quiet," then waiting for some period of time leads to breakfast! I love cats!
Another option is to get a dispenser that automatically feeds at a certain time in the morning. You can also get him a toy that can be filled with some food items so he can bat it around at night.
My foster cat, Tom Thumb, was returned by his first adopter because he, um, "played house" with him as the "daddy" and his soft bed as the "mommy." Is there anything I can do to redirect him, or do I just need to find him an understanding home? By the way, his testosterone levels have been checked and they're a normal low for a long-time neutered cat, which he is. Thanks, Dr. Weiss! Celeste C.
I am always asked "why does he…" for all sorts of behaviors, and my answer is always the samebecause it feels good! This behavior is obviously no different. Masturbation can increase for neutered animals when they are anxious, so my first thought is the behavior is likely to occur more when he is first re-homed. I would suggest observing him in your home to see if the behavior decreases as his routine becomes predictable. If it does, I would suggest simply educating his next adopters about what they are likely to see, and how the behavior is likely to change.
I volunteer for my local humane society and spend most of my time working with the cats. Can you offer any advice on assisting potential adopters in selecting the cat who is right for them and their families? Susan W.
Great question! We have just finished two years of research on the new ASPCA's Meet Your Match Feline-ality adoption program. This research-based program helps shelters and adopters make matches based on the behavior of the individual cat and the expectations of the adopters.
The program helps shelters better communicate with adopters. Adopters tell you, through a short survey, what their expectations for behavior are, and what their lifestyle is like. This helps adoptors focus not just on their own expectations, but also those of others in the family.
You can learn more at the website we just launched for animal professionals.
My cat, who recently had a urinary blockage taken care of, is now peeing on the couch not two feet away from the litter box. Originally I just had the boxes in the basement, but after his last urinary blockage, I moved one up to make sure he is able to relieve himself when he needs to. What can I do to stop this? What might be causing this behavior? I don't feel a bloated bladder, and he does go in the box otherwise, so I don't think he has the blockage again. Thanks! Michelle B.
Step one is to get him back to his vet for a visit to make sure he is fine physically.
I think you're saying that he is jumping onto the couch and urinating. If this is the case, you will need to first cover the couch with saran wrap or tin foil, as these are surfaces that cats often do not like. They also work because if he urinates on the surface, it splashes and gets his feet wet, which he won't like (your couch is then also protected from the urinea bonus!).
Next, you may need to elevate your litter box to about the height of the couch for a bit. Be sure he has both high and low litter boxes available. They should be available in both the basement and near the couch. Keep a good log to look for patterns, and adjust the litter boxes slowly if needed. When he is reliably urinating in the box again, begin to move it back to a more appropriate place very slowlyonly a few inches a day. Good luck!
I have a three-year old cat who has been chasing my 14-year-old mama cat ever since he moved into the household two years ago. She is scared of him. I've tried getting them used to each other but it doesn't work. I have to put him in the basement at night and she hides out during the day when he is up. My vet has even prescribed amitriptyline on his ear, but he hasn't mellowed out. He seems to enjoy tormenting her. Kathleen M.
I would love to know if the two cats have fought in the past or if the behavior has always been simply chase and run.
Assuming the behavior has been chase and run, the behavior is continuing because it works, and it feels good. While we cannot stop your older female from running, we can make the chasing behavior not feel good by introducing a stimulus that does not feel good to him. I suggest you squirt him with a water bottle when he is about to chase.
I'm moving to a place where the cats won't be able to go outdoors as they do now. How can I handle what is sure to be a big problem for themand me? Mary H.
You are right that it will be a big change for your cats. Outside is an ever changing place with tons of natural enrichment for them. Your goal will be to best provide a changing and enriching environment inside to decrease the likelihood of them creating their own.
Instead of feeding them in bowls, have them hunt for their food around your house. You can place their food on small plates, or in boxes or even in toilet paper tubes distributed throughout the house. They can spend part of their day hunting just as they did outside.
Give them forage. Provide them with grass that you can buy from most large pet stores. This will give them the ability to graze just as they did outside.
Hang toys by vents so they flutter unexpectedlythis will provide them with hunting experiences that can occur "at any moment."
The key is to change things oftenand provide variety!
We have a three-year-old old cat who is incessantly hyperactive. I have had cats my entire life and have never encountered such an energetic, wants-to-play-all-the-time kitty. We have several toys and kitty condos, and we play with him nightly. But he still plays throughout the night and gets into any and everything throughout the day. He is just incredibly curious and energetic. We love him dearly, but it's like we've had a kitten for three years! Any suggestions?
I love this post! It is obvious that in the world of the ASPCA's Meet Your Match Feline-ality adoption program, you have a gregarious and valiant catI suspect he would be a Party Animal!
It would be great to direct his energy into some tasks that involve brain power as well as physical activitythis might help to channel his energy. How about teaching him some fun behaviors such as high-five, fetch and roll over? Cats often train better than dogs! I think he would be a perfect candidate. By using positive reinforcement training he would have to figure out what behaviors result in a food reward.
Have fun with him! You may also want to peek at the post above this one regarding moving outside cats inside, as there were some enrichment options that he would love!
My cat likes to stand outside the tub when my husband is in the shower. Then when he comes out, she rubs up against him and demands his attention. She doesn't do this with me! Can you explain her behavior? Sandy R.
Who is teaching whom? Sounds like your cat is quite the lion tamer! I think what may have happened is that she learned your husband is likely to pat her when he exits the shower. It likely became a bit of a ritual for the two of them. Chances are, one day your husband was in a rush, and did not pat hershe might have responded by swatting, meowing or some behavior that then resulted in your husband paying attention to her. Sounds like this has now progressed.
You both need to decide if this behavior is something you can live with, or something you need to change. I think it is cute! If you want to change it, your husband will need to change his behavior. I suggest he towel off in the shower and then immediately leave the bathroom. Good luck!
I have a male neutered Maine coon who is very jealous of my other cats. If I give attention to any of my other cats, he will try to attack that particular cat. Is this normal with that breed or is he really jealous? All of my other cats are rescues as well and I try to divide my attention to all equally, but he is the only one who displays this type of behavior. Thanks. Debbie M.
Sounds like you have a cat who finds your attention valuable, and he is guarding his resource of attention from others in the house. One of the easiest ways to solve the issue is to give him a food dispensing device with a small amount of tasty food in it when you are giving attention to another cat. This will work in two waysif he is wants the food, he will not be able to attack while obtaining the food from the device. Also, he will learn that when you give attention to other cats, it feels good to him! Good luck.
One of my cats likes to bite plastic bags. Is this dangerous to her? I try to stop her whenever I see her do it, but I'm not always home to keep an eye on her. Lana T.
I love cats! Their individually never ceases to amaze me!
The danger in biting a plastic bag would likely be either consuming a piece of the bag, or somehow becoming tangled in the bag and suffocating. I recommend keeping the plastic bags out of reach, especially when you're not home.
Let's see if we can give her some more appropriate things to bite on. She might be biting them because of the sound, the texture or the movement. If it is the sound that excites her, there are some fantastic crinkle toys available that make stimulating sounds when bitten. These toys would also work for the texture motivation.
If it is movement that interests her, maybe you can hang a light cotton cloth by a vent so it moves when the vent is blowing air.
My 15-month-old male cat wakes me up several times in the night by jumping on the mini blinds on my bedroom door. I have to put him in his carrier to sleep, because when I close him out of the room, he rips at the carpet and bedroom door. He does not make the connection between jumping on the blinds and being put in his carrier. Susan H.
Cats are very often most active at nightI am often asked how to stop a particular activity that wakes a pet parent at night!
It sounds like in this case, if you could just stop him from jumping on the blinds, the other behaviors he engages in do not wake you. So let's first stop him from jumping on the blinds, and then let's replace it with another activity that will not likely wake you.
Since the blinds are on the door, you will need to keep him back from the door. Cats are often not fond of walking on crinkly tin foil. I suggest placing sheets of crinkly foil in front of the door to "block" his access to the blinds (talk about foiling the behavior). Also, be sure to coil the blind string so it is not a tempting toy.
Next, let's set up some food enrichment for him in another room. There are some great food dispensing devices for cats available at most pet stores. Also, maybe hang a feather on a string above a vent for him so he can hunt in a room other than your bedroom.
Hi! We rescued a cat, Blossom, from outdoors three years ago. She has taken well to living indoors, and has come a long, long way from the terror she used to feel. She lays near me, stretches out, gives herself baths, etc. But in all this time, I still haven't been able to pet her. Just recently she came and brushed against my foot and has been seeming to try and find a way to get close to me ever since, but if she gets too close, she will snap back and hiss. I spend a few hours each day with her, reading, etc., and she is very comfortable, but I don't know what else to do to try and touch her. Any suggestions? Thanks! Danielle C.
First, we are making the assumption she'd enjoy that type of touch. It may turn out that she wouldn't. Plenty of well-socialized companion cats hiss when you attempt to pet them. If we can teach her to anticipate what will happen next, she can make the choice to be patted or not.
I suggest that you give a verbal and visual cue for "I am about to touch you." The verbal cue may be "touch" and the visual may be extending your hand so that it is about one foot away from her chin. To begin, be sure to just touch from belowfor example the bottom of her chin, or her chest. The touch should last only a small second, then freeze and let her choose to stay or not. Repeat often. When she can anticipate what will happen next, she will "tell you" whether she wants to be touched or not. Good luck!
I recently got involved in TNR with a feral cat colony near work. We have had Tiger for four weeks now. When we trapped her, she was very weary of humans. She loves to play with us and my other cats, but still won't let us touch her. She seems to be getting better, but I wonder if she will ever be happy. I wonder if I should return her to her colony. Cyndi Z.
It sounds like Tiger has made some good progress. I would be hesitant to return her to a colony at this point, especially if the colony is truly a feral colony. If she has now associated homes with food and other things that feel good, she may approach homes and be perceived as a nuisance by someone.
I would instead focus on working with her to become more comfortable with touch. In the post above this one I explained how to teach a cat to anticipate when touch is coming. This would be a good program for Tiger as well.
My 11-year-old gets scared of every unusual or sudden movement or loud sound I make. Then she shrinks into a "please do not hurt me" position. It was not like that in the past. She is very loving. We have a strong bond and there was never any accident or problem or anything that could trigger this. She sleeps next to me holding my hand. Is this just a normal part of aging or is it something to be worried about? Carl B.
Step one is to take her for a checkup with your vet. Sudden changes in behavior can be indicators of health issues. It may be as simple as some hearing loss or sight loss.
Assuming your vet gives her a clean bill of health, we are not going to know why the behavior started to occur, so let's simply start to teach her that a loud sound is not something to fear.
While she is eating dinner, very softly bang a spoon against a pot. The sound should be audible, but not loud. She should notice it, but it should not cause a fear response. At each meal, slowly increase how loud you bang, until you can bang quite loud and she continues to eat. Now, change the soundand again, begin with the sound low enough that she hears it, but does not startle.
Finally, begin introducing these sounds in other "feel good" situationswhile she is playing, grooming or resting in the sun. In a few weeks you should be able to decrease her reaction to many sounds.
As much as it breaks my heart, I'm afraid I will have to give up my cats! They're peeing in the house! I rent, and I can't have this. Is there anything I can do, other than spending a fortune on repellants and enzymes to clean up? Clean or dirty boxdoesn't seem to matter. I seem to think it may be the male, because the scent is very strong, but the female is pregnant. I don't know if that makes a difference. HELP!! Kathy C.
It sounds like your cats are not spayed or neutered. Unaltered cats are more likely to spray. I recommend spaying and neutering.
Since the behavior is already occurring, we likely need more intervention than just altering the cats. I would suggest you first do some investigation to confirm which cat (if not both) is urinating outside of the litter box. Videotape your cats at night or when you are not home to gain more information.
Once you know who the culprit is, you may need to confine him to a small space, like a bathroom, when you are not around to supervise. Be sure there are at least three litter boxes in the home, and use litter without perfumes. You may need to experiment on litter types as well.
There are other strategies as well, if these do not work for you. Feel free to check out our animal behavior section at www.aspca.org.
Hi. I have two young cats, Coco and Trixie, who are sisters and have gotten along beautifully the entire two years I have had them. They are indoor cats and were neutered before I got them! They are both eating normally and seem healthy. For two days now, Coco will hiss and growl at Trixie if she approaches. If Trixie is lying down or sleeping, Coco is fine and doesn't get upset. What should I do? Elizabeth H.
Whenever an aggressive behavior suddenly pops up, the first thing to do is visit your vet to be sure that there is not an underlying physical issue.
If the vet finds that the cat is healthy, I would recommend simply observing the behavior for a couple of days, and pairing the presence of the other cat with things that feel good. For example, if the cat enjoys being patted, she should be patted when the other cat is present.
I've got two male cats who are peeing in the basement. We've tried everything that we can think of to get them to stop. We have used Feliway spray and plug-ins. We've taken the litter box lid off and changed the litter to unscented. We wash and scrub the floor constantly. I just don't know what else to do. Do you have any other suggestions? Do you know why they are doing this? Are they mad at us? Thank you! Kelley H.
Certainly sounds like you have done quite a bit to solve the behavior. I am not sure if you are dealing with spraying behavior or just urination issues.
Assuming most of the urine is on the floor, as opposed to the walls, I would suggest that you lock the cats out of the basement for a bit. When you do, provide three to six litter boxes for them, with two close to that basement door. When you are not around to supervise, they will need to spend time in a confined space (like a bathroom) that can be easily cleaned. Make sure there are 2 litter boxes in that space, as well as some fun enrichment.
Clean the basement well, and if possible, place saran wrap or tin foil down where they used to urinate, and provide two to four litter boxes in that space. Then give them access for a few hours a day. Increase the time slowly.
Do cats mellow with age? My two furballs are a year old, and they are very cuddly, but prefer to be next to me and not on me. I would love it if they became lap cats. My mom's cat became a lap cat after five years. Is that common? Thanks! Elyse O.
Certainly behavior can change significantly over the lifetime of the cat. However, there is no guarantee that the way the behavior will change for these two will be to become lap cats.
You can try making every lap experience one that feels good for them. Maybe when they come onto your lap, they receive a tasty treat?
The new ASPCA Meet Your Match Feline-ality program can identify what cats are more likely to be lap catsso for your next cat, you may want to visit a shelter using Feline-ality!
Why would my kitten suck on her sister kitten? The kittens are four months old. Their mother is outside and I brought these two inside about a month ago. Shannon L.
This behavior can happen for a number of reasons, and can quickly become obsessive. I wonder if the kitten is sucking on anything else at this point?
Step one is a vet visit to make sure he is healthy. Next, it would be helpful to give the kitten some enrichment, such as a food dispensing device, to give him more appropriate oral behaviors to engage in.
I wonderare cats truly rebellious or am I just anthropomorphizing my cat and reading way too much into his behavior? My cat Socks appears to be one of the sneakiest creatures ever. The more something bothers someone at home, the more he seems to do itand he does it rather suspiciously. For example, my dad has a favorite chair that he does not like the cat on. Socks will wait for him to get up from it and jump on it as soon as he leaves the room, every time, without fail. If my dad waits around the corner and watches him to catch him in the act, he doesn't move an inch. As soon as my dad gives up and walks away, he leaps onto the chair. It has become like a game. Another example is that he has found that I jump out of bed a little faster if he jumps on top of my paperwork and rips tiny little pieces off the edge with his teeth until the whole paper is shredded. The more I try to keep these things out of his reach, the more he seeks them out and uses them whenever he wants attention. If I yell at him, he looks me right in the eye, tears another piece off and looks back up to make sure I'm noticing it. It looks terribly cleveris it? Jennifer D.
Your cat sounds like a star! Instead of thinking that he is doing something to "spite" someone, or to be rebellious, it is more parsimonious for us to assume he is behaving in the way he does because, simply, it works.
All animals, including us, do things because they feel good (or less bad than an alternative). When we analyze his behavior with the chair, it is obvious that the chair feels good to him, but the chair paired with the stimulus of your father does not feel good.
When we observe his behavior with you in the mornings, chances are, one morning, he began to nibble on your paper, which resulted in you getting out of bed. He likely tried that behavior againand bammosuccess!
Rainbow, our four-year-old shelter cat, frequently stands over one of her catnip toys meowing (usually in the kitchen), then picks it up in her mouth, carries it to wherever we are in the house, drops it at our feet, then sits down in front of it. What is she trying to tell us? Barbara K.
Aww! Okayso I will start by saying thisI cannot tell you for sure what your cat is communicating. However, I suspect she has learned that if she behaves in this way, she is likely to engage her humans in interaction. I imagine it is fairly hard to resist her and her toy when she drops her toy and sits in front of it! If your likely behavior is to engage her, and she continues to drop her toy for you in the future, I think you can conclude that she is asking for your involvement in her activity.
Two years ago, my dog brought home a feral kitten (four weeks old). After weeks of nursing her back to health, kitty thrived. Now at two years old, she still cuddles up to my neck and does that kitty nursing kneading thing and sucks on my neck (and necklace). This behavior, I am assuming, is remnant of when I fed and bathed her and gave her medicine. She was in such pain (mange, ticks and fleas) I would cuddle her in the nape of my neck and hum to her. Is this still okay, or do I need to wean her? E.W.
What a nice present from your dog! Nursing and kneading behavior is not uncommon in adult companion cats. However, the behavior can become obsessive, so some caution should be taken. If the behavior does not bother you, I would simply try to ignore it as not to encourage an increase, or cause anxiety. Chances are it will then likely remain stable.
I live alone with my four-year-old cat (adopted from a shelter as a kitten). He is fun, funny, and personable. However, every three weeks or so he goes on a rampage and bites my wrists in the middle of the night harddrawing blood. He latches on and won't let go. I have to lock him out of the room when he does this. I have tried water guns, compressed air, cans of penniesall will stop him in the moment but none deter him from doing it again. He has his claws but never uses them. I am worried that when I have a family or others living with me he will subject them to the same treatment. HELP! Erin F.
It is hard to know exactly what is occurring around these events. My suspicion is he has aroused in play to a very high level and is engaging you. However, I would suggest before you develop a plan, you first videotape the behavior. That will likely mean a lot of boring video to review, as the behavior only happens about every three weeks. Although boring, the footage will give us a much better picture as to what is going on. Are you twitching in your sleep? Is he stalking your hands, just waiting for the twitch to come? Is he in another part of the room engaging in play right before? Are you disturbing him while he sleeps and he responds by biting your wrist?
Once we can identify what is occurring before the event, we can better put together a protocol to decrease or eliminate the behavior.
We recently adopted a second kitty, who is now five months old. She and our older cat (six years) exhibit typical wrestling/playing behaviors. How do we know when it is beginning to border into fighting? Thank you! Cara A.
Usually play behavior can be identified by loose bodies, lots of starts and stops, ears flashing back and forward, and while there might be vocalizations, the sound is likely not an alarm scream heard in most fights.
Be sure that both cats engage each other in play, as opposed to the kitten impacting himself on the older cat. You may want to introduce a couple of cat-sized stuffed animals (maybe even tie a string to one so you can move it around a room) for your kitten to wrestle with as well, so that the other cat can choose to engage, or not engage, as he chooses.
Can you re-trap a cat? I had Amadeus for eight months before he got out this week. I saw him yesterday in a neighbor's garden. He would only let me get so close, and he rolled over and put his legs up in the air when I was talking to him. I tried to re-trap him, but have had no luck so far. I don't know if he will go in againthat is how I first got him. I know he must be hungry. When I trapped him the first time, he had a lot of really bad wounds. I really want him in right now. Maureen J.
Oh goodnessmy heart goes out to you. Yes, you can often re-trap cats. Be sure to use food with very strong odors and place more than one trap.
You may want to call your local humane society for assistance. I wish you and your cat health and safety!

Hellerup School, Denmark
The Danish school Hellerup is internationally influential, still much discussed and visited. What can we learn from this best practice example? The philosophy at this school is to remain open-minded to future adaptations which they expect will be required to some extent - hence why it could be known as the "progressive blueprint" for open learning landscapes.

Medical Technology
Medical Technology is clinical laboratory science related to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. The major clinical sciences within medical technology are medical microbiology, clinical chemistry, hematology, and immunohematology. Medical technologists perform routine and complex analyses, often utilizing sophisticated biomedical instrumentation. They are responsible for the accuracy of their results and are expected to correlate interdependent test results and physiological conditions. Their work may include supervision and teaching. Most medical technologists are employed in hospital laboratories. The remainder work chiefly in other health agencies, industrial medical or biomedical laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and research or forensic laboratories. The B.S. degree in medical technology includes courses in basic sciences, liberal arts and clinical sciences, and also off-campus clinical experience. Graduates are eligible for national certification examinations and for career entry. This major also provides a basis for graduate study in medical technology or related areas such as clinical chemistry, microbiology, management, or medical technology education. For more information, students should contact Prof. Anna P. Ciulla, 305 Willard Hall, 831-2849 or browse the department's web sit at www.udel.edu/medtech.
