Heat Waves Can Make People Dumber According to New Study
People are used to heat waves being part of the summertime experience, but, with record-high temps and massive heat waves sweeping the nation, it may not surprise you to learn that a new study says people can actually get dumber during a heat wave.
In a new report published in PLOS Medicine, researchers at Harvard University say they discovered that people's brains worked 13 percent slower when they have to work in extreme heat. The study looked at 44 college students living in Boston during a 2016 heat wave that was reportedly one of the hottest in the city's history.
Twenty-two of the students lived in a brick-based building that didn't have air conditioning, with the other 22 living in an air-conditioned dorm during the 12-day experiment. When subjects were given a series of math and memory tests, researchers found that the students who lived in non-air-conditioned buildings performed significantly worse on them than their air-conditioned brethren.
"Most of the research on the health effects of heat has been done in vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, creating the perception that the general population is not at risk from heat waves," lead author Jose Guillermo Cedeño-Laurent said in a press release.
"Knowing what the risks are across different populations is critical considering that in many cities… the number of heat waves is projected to increase due to climate change."
The research team says the non-air-conditioned brick buildings the students lived in made the effects of the heat wave on their brains even worse because they have a hard time shedding heat during the night time.
"Indoor temperatures often continue to rise even after outdoor temperatures subside, giving the false impression that the hazard has passed, when in fact the 'indoor heat wave' continues," said Joseph Allen, assistant professor of exposure assessment science and co-director of the Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment (C-CHANGE) at Harvard Chan School and one of the study's senior authors.
"In regions of the world with predominantly cold climates, buildings were designed to retain heat. These buildings have a hard time shedding heat during hotter summer days created by the changing climate, giving rise to indoor heat waves."

Glasgow To Overflow With Swimmer
Here Comes The Eastern Montana Swim Meet; Hundreds Expected In Town
Glasgow will be awash with young swimmers this weekend, when the Kiwanis Swim Team hosts the Eastern Montana Division Swim Meet for the first time since 2007. Somewhere between 600 and 800 people are expected for the two-day event this Saturday and Sunday, about 400 of them competitors hoping to qualify for the state meet Aug. 3-4 in Sidney. To qualify, swimmers must finish among the top 12 in their event.
The Kiwanis team's coaches have strong expectations for their kids at this meet.
"I have high hopes for all my swimmers," said Matt Dangleis. "We came in third in Chinook last week with only 14 swimmers. We have qualified swimmers. I hope we have around 40 this time."
Individually at Chinook, Dalton Sand set a pool record in the boys 8 & U 50-meter free with a time of 37.86 seconds. He also won the 8 & U 100-meter IM in 1:51.26 and the 8 & U 25-meter fly in 20.84.
Katie Kaiser won at Chinook as well with a time of 39.74 in the girls 11-12 50-meter back. She also took second in the 11-12 50-meter free in 33.05, a fraction of a second behind the winner.
Coach Alex Leuchars agreed that the team turnout was going to be high this weekend.
"It will be the first meet this season with really strong participation," she said.
In spite of light turnout, Glasgow has placed second or third in every meet this summer.
"Our goal is to make the AA Division again like last year," Leuchars said. "We have a lot of returners who put in a ton of work. They have really improved from last year. And we have some great newcomers."
Hosting the divisional swim meet is a lot of work for the parents and community volunteers as well as the swimmers and coaches. Jan Kaiser, who has a daughter and a son on the team, said they have good community volunteers.
"There are only 23 families (on the team). We can't do it all on our own," Kaiser said.
Key Club members and many others will pitch in on jobs like supervising the heat benches, where the next batch of swimmers sits in numbered order, and selling concessions.
The event has received a lot of community support in donations too, especially from business people, Kaiser said. They are buying ads and raffle tickets for the cash drawing to be held every day in August.

When I decided that I actually am a "for-real" writer, I ordered The New Yorker because in order to be a "for-real" writer one must read The New Yorker. Right? R.I.G.H.T.
Flipping through the pages kind of felt like my 8-year-old-self wearing my mother's high heeled shoes, mink stole, droopy pearl earrings, and possibly my grandmother's satin opera gloves. But then I saw it–an ad for the Yale Writers' Conference. I might have even giggled. It certainly sounded marvelous but I hesitated, thinking "Yale? Who are you kidding?"
Ultimately I thought, "Why not!"
I showed the ad to my husband. When he didn't laugh, I took it as a sign that the universe was pushing my newly established writer-self out of the nest to test out my pencil wings.
So, I applied with the beginnings of my novel in progress "The Alligator Purse." While I waited for a response, I reminded myself to breathe. And then I waited and waited, for what seemed like a really long time. Forever really. (That might have been a by-product of the watched in-box never boils syndrome. Maybe. Okay, probably.)
When the email came inviting me to attend, I was beside myself–proud, disbelieving, believing, and more than a little nervous. I mean, it's Yale. What were they thinking letting me in but thank you Jesus, they let me in!
So if you have any of that self-doubt, erase it now. Right now. The Yale Writers' Conference is so welcoming. They accept 140 people each year. So that's 140 chances for them to say yes to you. And please know that you do not have to be an established rock star writer to attend. You do have to submit a quality writing sample that is polished and then re-polished. And then polished five more times. But, there is plenty of room for those who are early in their writing career. Please understand that this doesn't mean there isn't talent at the conference – there is and a lot of it! People who invest in their writing generally take honing their craft very seriously. (Remember I said to polish your submission! And then polish it again. And then
one five more times.)
Terence Hawkins (with his trusted sidekick Victoria Rinkerman who is nothing short of amazing herself) is the man behind the magic that is the Yale Writers' Conference. He is a writer himself and is eager to help all of us succeed.
Here are a few things that are good to know:
The less expensive option is to stay in the dorms. The un-air conditioned dorms. When I was in college, I lived at home so I actually loved staying in the dorms. But they aren't fancy and if you are used to your own bathroom and A/C, you should know that the dorms do not equal the Ritz Carlton. You should also know, however, that most people stay in the dorms and that it is fun to be there. (So it's really a positive masquerading as a negative.)
The dorms are gorgeous (from the outside 😉 ).
And they really aren't terrible on the inside…
Session I is ten days. That's a long time to be away from work and family (possibly another positive masquerading. I guess that depends on your job and family. 😉 ). Session II is shorter if you really like your family and/or your job.
The rest is all up side.
Did I mention the conference is at Yale? Yes, "the" Yale that you've heard so much about. It's magical to walk the streets of New Haven in the spring.
For ten days, you will talk and learn about writing with some very talented/committed/enthusiastic writers and instructors. You won't wash any dishes or drive a car. If you pack enough clothes, you won't have to do laundry. Someone will cook breakfast and lunch for you buffet-style. (Dinner is not included but New Haven has tons of fabulous places to eat.) You might not even watch tv. It's heavenly. You'll meet in large sessions to hear amazing guest speakers and you'll meet in groups of ten to workshop each others writing. You'll even get to attend one master class workshop with a guest speaker of your choosing (This is why it's smart to apply early. The earlier you get accepted, the more choices you have.)
You will eat, sleep, and breathe writing for ten days. Ahhhhh.
In effort not to keep you reading this post for hours on end, I'm consolidating my experiences from two years into one post. (I've been to Yale for the past two years and the only reason I'm not applying this year is that my son is graduating from high school around the same time as the conference.) That means I won't be able to tell you every fabulous thing about the conference, but here is some of what I learned…
From Richard Selzer (Mortal Lessons)
- Don't be timid: you can say in writing things you would never say aloud.
- And don't be afraid to tell lies: they give writing a vivid complexion.
From Kevin Wilson (The Family Fang)
- Writing is a muscle you have to exercise and you have to change up your routine to keep it all moving.
- When building a story, instead of starting with a tree and adding ornaments to it, start with an ornament and build a tree to support it.
- You might be the worst writer in the world, but if you write, at least you'll have evidence to attest to that fact.
From Deborah Treisman (Fiction Editor, The New Yorker)
She was asked "what makes a story stand out." She answered that you just know it when you see it. She looks at the story's ambition–what it's trying to do–and figures out if it's doing it.
From Z. Z. Packer (Drinking Coffee Elsewhere)
- Give the reader an image to start with. Then you can put that image into action: you can create symbolism with the image.
- The readers want to see a journey with obstacles that add up to something. What the character wants will give them motivation–look at the "lack" behind that want. What will the want satisfy?
- If you want to read a terrific article by Z. Z. Packer on writing short stories, click here.
From Joe McGinniss (who sadly lost his battle with cancer this past year)
- Especially in non-fiction, you are going to make people angry.
- However, the worst thing is no reaction at all.
From Tom Perotta (Nine Inches)
Get the story going before you give backstory.
From Susan Orlean (Orchid Thief, Rin Tin Tin)
- People can be made to care about things that seem ordinary.
- Ultimately we end up writing to ourselves.
From Sybil Baker (Into this World)
- Short stories are almost always based on desire and characters are often responsible for their own problems.
- Raise the stakes for your character on her original desire, rather than adding in new desires.
- Dialogue is more interesting when characters are disagreeing or at least not agreeing.
From Chuck Klosterman (I Wear the Black Hat)
- You want the reader to be engaged with the text, themselves, and the world.
- The first chapter makes an assertion that gets carried through the book. It's important for the reader to get to know who she's going to spend the next 250 pages with.
From Rob Spillman (Tin House)
- When he reads a submission, he wants to forget he's an editor and remember that he's a reader.
- The writer should establish authority in the first 300 words. Writers can do that through language, forward momentum in the story, stakes for the characters, and story questions.
From Colum McCann (TransAtlantic)
- Write what you want to know. You do not have to write what you already know.
- There's no true distinction between fiction or non-fiction: it's all story-telling.
- Beginnings are hard because they can go in so many directions, but the ending should be the one thing that has to happen.
- Life is deeper than Google: you might have to go to the library.
- It's all shit, until it isn't.
From Clarence Page (Chicago Tribune, McLaughlin Group)
- Be courageous and be persistent.
- Some stories will work: some won't. So what.
- There is someone out there waiting for your story.
From Rick Moody (The Four Fingers of Death: A Novel)
- Rethink abstraction: it's better to be fully grounded in things and scenes and people.
- Use all five senses–remember smell is most closely linked to memory.
- Read all of your work out loud, to someone else and your mistakes will be more obvious.
Okay, I don't know about you but I'm tired. So, I'll be back later with more. (You can read Part 2 here.) Come back soon for Yale Part II. And you missed the other workshops I've written about, you can read those

Nanoha Cross-over Discussion Thread
Nanoha Crossover thread.
This thread is meant to discuss the merits of crossing over various series with Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of doing the crossover(s) in question.
As for fanfiction and fanart, we can do what's been done with the OCT (Original Character Topic) and cross-post them.
Enjoy and have fun.

In the case of Naruto, one of the strengths of a potential crossover is that Naruto's planet isn't Earth, and the source of the spiritual half of chakra (as opposed to the physical half produced by the body) is not so well-defined that it can't be attributed to a Linker Core.
On the other hand, Fate Stay Night presents a number of difficulties if you know enough about the Nasuverse's cosmology. Namely, that death as we know it only exists on Earth, and no form of life outside of Earth would resemble humanity.

Or how well the TSAB will blend with the Earth Federation from some versions of the Gundamverse? Most of the main cast in Nanoha is perfectly capable of slaughtering conventional mobile suits en masse but some of the special Gundam reach ridiculous power levels(in some instances they're even trated as godlike beings xDU).

Wow! we finally have the thread xD!
Well, what's gonna be the first crossover to be discussed? Aside of the usuals(Card Captor Sakura, Madoka Magica, Slayers, Sailor Moon, Fate/Stay Night, etc...) there's also various other options unexplored.
I'll find interesting a Crossover with Shakugan no Shana, i wonder how well the Aces will do in battle against Crimson Denizens and Flame Hazes, most of them are not as flashy as our beloved mages/knights but some individuals have some unique broken abilities and a few more have outright godlike powers..

I've had a Nanoha/Justice League (animated) crossover percollating at the back of my mind for a while. Not sure if I'll ever get around to writing it, although I would be interested in seeing RF6 vs the Justice League (individual matchups: Nanoha vs Superman, Subaru vs Flash, Teana vs Batman, Signum vs Wonder Woman, Vita vs Hawkgirl, Fate vs Green Lantern, Erio/Caro vs Martian Manhunter).
In the meantime, there's the Takamachi Nanoha of 2814 universe...

^ All of the fights are well tought save for Subaru Vs. Flash and Erio/Caro VS. Martian Manhunter, those two leaguers are too powerfull in comparission with their oppopnents.
Nanoha have a good chance against Superman because of the latter's vulnerability to magic, Teana VS. Batman will be a pretty kickass fight, Signum compensates her lack of power in front of Amazon Diana's godly strenght with her swordswoman skill and simple-yet-powerfull defensive/offensive spells, Vita VS. Shayera will be a bloodfest full of GAR-ness and Fate will open Gren Lantern a new one thanks to her YELLOW powers xD!
....of course until the true villain reveals himself and the two heroic teams fight togheter, maybe exchanging opponents to cover their weaknesses. RF6 Curbstomps the Secret Society while the Justice League anhilates the Huckebein as only Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl are at a notorious disadvantage against the Hucks(well, Batman too ...but he's Batman after all xD), Superman and Jhonn alone can curbstomp the entire family by themselves and they still have Green Lanter and Flash xD.

I'm here for the reason..
1. Kyoko vs Arnage (battle of the reds, skimpy appearance)
2. Sayaka vs Cypha (high regenerative)
3. Mami, with the help of Charlotte vs Stella (Stella, here's your babysitter from hell...)
4. Homura vs DeVille and Veyron (let's see how Vey's Grab Claw and DeVille's Short Jump ability have to deal with Homura's time hax ability,combined Unlimited Firearms Works)
5. Madoka vs Curren (Purity Sue vs Villain Sue)

1.- Don't know about Kyoko's powers but i wonder how she will react to Arnage's Australian/Kansai-ben accent xD
2.- I know Sayaka from the only two episodes i've watched of the series i hope she manage to concentrate as Cypha is prone to taunt her opponents, also, while not as good as Signum, Cypha is a skilled swordswoman.
3.- The result will vary, if Stella attacks with her uhm... BIG Divider i don't see much opportunity to Mami's firearm casting powers to make a real change in the tide of the battle.
4.- The Timehax is a powerfull weapon indeed but Homura will need to be a bit more creative with how she takes advantage of it to attack her opponents as they're practically immune to bullets(specially Deville, his armorize special reaction makes him totally invulnerable to gunfire.
5.- Considering Madoka at the end is practically a Godlike being the battle will depend on how Curren takes on the situation as Madoka is arguably an adversary with powers far superior to her Eclipse Driver abilities. Curren's "cunningness" will play a key part in her victory/surviving.

I'm here for the reason..
And if they both met, the result is:
Kyoko: Hey, who are you!?
Arnage: Who are you!? And why do you look just like me!? And what the hell, why there are fangs in your mouth!?
Kyoko: It's a sign that you have to appreciate the food you eat. If you think the same with me, come with me!
Arnage: No way! I've got family and I do not want to come with you!
Kyoko: It's a must!
Arnage: NO!
Spoiler for Here's your "worthy" opponent, Cypha :D:
If Sayaka won, Cypha must admit that she is an second idiot. With this face
Spoiler for I'm such an idiot...:

I need to compare Fate Stay Night ranking though...
Saber's A++ anti-fortress Excalibur vs Nanoha's S rank anti-world anti-idiot who won't listen to Nanoha Starlight Breaker or Rider's speed vs Fate's... Or Archer vs Signum (both sword and bow users, except Archer is UBW)...

Getting back to Shakugan no Shana i can foresaw some good matches:
* Shana VS. Nanoha: The Ace of aces have superior firepower but Shana is arguably faster than her on the air an even faster on foot, her sword is unbreakable and, if provoked enough, can even the ground in firepower with flames powerfull and big enough to engulf entire city blocks, she also posses Tempa Jousai as a last resource which consist in summoning Alastor, basically a flame god, to the mortal realm, we're talking about someone around five-to-ten times bigger than Voltaire and hundred times more powerfull(blows up a floating city just by appearing). But Alastor aside it will be an exciting and balanced battle due to Nanoha's genius in battle.
* Margery Daw VS. Fate Testarossa: Margery is a hunter, she's fast, feral and predative in her fightstyle which make a good contrast with Fate's elegant assasin-like attack pattern, Margery is proud to have various mult-fire spells as also is good with incantations to achieve various effects on the battlefield which are akin to her Huntress status and will find a worthy opponent in Fate who is a very adaptable mage able to fight in all ranges and almost all terrains.
* Master of the Throne, Hecate VS. Hayate Yagami: This is a no brainer, both ominious squishy wizards with unholy gargantuan firepower and a more "supporting role" on the battlefield as also both being important/sacred figures to other people.
* Wilhelmina Carmel VS. Signum: Two veteran and clever warriors with a battle-forged stoicness and lots of experience, The Blazing General will prove to be a strong foe to the Master of a thousand Ribbons due to her ability to incinerate Wilhelmina's main weapon, still, Wilhelmina already showed us how well she can deal with flaming swordwielders in her fight with Sabrac. My guess is that both will first try attempts to neutralize the other as quickly as possible, then realizing that the opponent is not an easy prey and in round 2 they will start to analyze each other in search of a weakpoint or an opening. It can go both ways: Signum burns her way to Wilhelmina and fulminates her with a direct sword-slash or Wilhelmina manage to see through Signum attacks and traps her in a myriad of ribbons while crushing her until asfixiating the Knight of the Sword before any possible comeback.
* Serpent of the Festival, Sakai Yuuji VS. Tohma Avenir: The battle of the superpowered emo-kids xD! It will depend if Tohma's Zero Driver powers are enough to seal the Serpent of the Festival, if not, it will be just another easy curbstomp for Yuuji.

Never mind Hecate could've just cast a Fuzetsu and devoured Hayate. As for dodging Shana's attacks--duh. She's one of the most powerful Flame Hazes in existence, and unlike Yuji, Hecate doesn't have Azure. That doesn't imply her having fragile defenses.

thanks for posting that info. Question: Have you been to one of these "player appearances" before? What are they like...do you just line up for a free autograph? Are you required to buy anything? Any info. would help...It would be a drive for me out to Long Beach. Thanks, Homer

- Roberto said...
Hi Homer, yeah I have been to about 500 events... lol
Yes, you just lineup. With the Broxton appearance, I'm sure it's a free signing. Take a couple of items to get signed. Always have your own pen in case they don't have the colors you want. Be patient. Those are my tips. Good luck!

I have been wanting to make some butternut squash soup for a while now, but sadly I don't own a food processor, blender or immersion blender so I put it off. I started thinking about the soup again this past week and was determined to make it, so I thought if I cooked the squash enough I could just mash it, but then it wouldn't have that smooth creamy texture so I finally went next door and asked my neighbor if she had a blender or food processor I could borrow. Of course she had one, and why had I not thought of asking her sooner? Who knows, I'm a bit slow lately. Being sick for a month has really thrown me for a loop. I am finally feeling better and getting back into cooking more. Poor Bryan has been dealing with my half-ass attempts of meals lately, which consisted of mostly "mushy" foods because I couldn't chew anything. Even though this soup could be considered another "mushy" meal I refuse to look at it that way because I have been craving it for so long. To add a little bit of texture to the soup I topped it with some crispy bacon pieces and homemade gluten-free croutons (see recipe below).
Like always, I did some searching online for butternut squash soup recipes just to see what others put in theirs. I found that many of the recipes were similar to the one that I had floating around in my head so I figured I would just wing it and see how it tasted (maybe not always the best idea). Bryan hasn't really eaten butternut squash much and has never had butternut squash soup, so to make it more appealing to him I wanted to add a bit of spice to it. The first time I ever had this soup was in China of all places. It was amazing. If you don't like that much spice you can always start by cutting those ingredients in half at first, taste it and then add accordingly.
Spiced Butternut Squash Soup
2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
4 celery stalks – diced
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 medium-large butternut squash (about 3 – 3.5 pounds) – See prep options below
1 large sweet potato (or two small/medium) Peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
3 cups of chicken broth (gluten-free low sodium/organic)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
salt and pepper to taste
1/4-1/2 cup half and half
There are two ways that you can prepare the squash:
1- Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and place flesh side down on a foil lined baking sheet (oiled/sprayed well). In a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. Once roasted and cooled slightly scoop out flesh and add to soup
2- Peel the squash, cut in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and then chop into one inch cubes. Cook squash in the soup with out roasting.
The first one is probably a bit easier because the skin of the squash is very touch and can be a pain to peel. I have a really good peeler so I didn't have any problems with it. So it is completely up to you on which method you prefer to use, and you will get great results either way. The recipe below is for option number two, however if you choose to roast your squash then scoop it out add it after you sauté the celery, garlic add the broth. You can then go right into pureeing the soup.
Peel and cut your squash and sweet potato and set aside. Over medium heat in a large sauce pan (or stock pot) add olive oil and celery, cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional two minutes. Next, add squash, sweet potato, half of the spices and chicken broth. Bring to a boil for 20 minutes. Lower heat to simmer.
In small batches ladle the soup into a blender (or food processor) and puree until smooth and there are no chunks. Add the pureed soup back into the pan and repeat until all the soup has been pureed and it is smooth. Add remaining spices and half and half. Do Not bring back to a boil, just simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm with your choice of toppings (bacon, croutons, sour cream, spiced pumpkin seeds etc.)
We served ours with crumbled maple bacon bits and some gluten-free multigrain croutons. Croutons are so simple to make, I dont' know why people buy them. You can make them how ever you wish, plain, garlic, seasoned etc. You should really try to experiment with them at some point. Great in both soups and salads or to just munch on.
Gluten-Free Croutons
6 pieces of gluten-free bread (I used Rudi's Multi Grain Bread)
1 clove of garlic minced
3 – 4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon melted butter
Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees. In a bowl combine garlic, oil, butter and salt – set aside. Cut bread into small chunks and place them on a foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle the oil, butter and garlic mixture over the bread chunks. Toss the bread to make sure it is evenly coated. Bake at 300 for 15-20 minutes, turning once. Croutons should be a light/medium golden brown.
You can all any seasoning you wish to your croutons and increase the measurements according to the amount of bread you are using. Other seasoning options include: dried basil, dried oregano, celery seed, pepper, parsley, grated parmesan cheese or whatever you wish.
These can be stored in an air tight container for up to four weeks or frozen for up to six months.

MANAMA, Bahrain — A human rights activist says the lawyer representing a prominent Bahraini blogger held by authorities has been detained himself just days after alleging his client had been tortured while in police custody.
Jim Loughran, a spokesman for the group Frontline Defenders, said Sunday that lawyer Adbul Aziz Moussa was picked up by authorities on Thursday.
Moussa is defending detained blogger Mohamed Hassan. Hassan also worked as an assistant to various foreign journalists visiting Bahrain.
Loughran said Moussa's arrest comes after he posted messages on Twitter claiming Hassan suffered abuse while in police custody.
Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's 5th fleet, has faced 18 months of unrest between the Sunni-led monarchy and its majority Shiite population. The government has started a crackdown on dissent.

FAR ROC [For a Resilient Rockaway] is a two-phase design competition that will explore innovative strategies for the planning, design and construction of a resilient and sustainable development at Arverne East, an 80+ acre site on the Rockaway Peninsula.
In recent years, the relationship between the built and the natural environment has been dramatically affected by climate change, severe storm events, and rising sea levels. The extensive damage to low-lying waterfront zones caused by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 reinforced the need for resilient infrastructure and redevelopment strategies for existing coastal communities throughout the greater New York area. Costly damage to buildings, roads, and utility systems by the storm raises the controversial question of whether areas of particular geographic vulnerability should be rebuilt, maintained and defended, or simply abandoned.
With these and other questions in mind, and given the scarcity of land and the significant need for housing and economic development in outlying areas of New York City, the FAR ROC design competition was organized to solicit creative ideas for resilient development strategies that can be implemented not only in the Rockaways but also throughout New York City and in vulnerable communities everywhere. Following a first-phase open call for design proposals, four finalists were selected by an independent jury and provided a stipend of $30,000 to further refine their design strategies.
On October 23rd, 2013, and in advance of the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, Stockholm-based firm White Arkitekter's proposal Small Means and Great Ends was selected as the winning design solution and received an additional cash prize of $30,000. New York-based firm Ennead Architects' imaginative proposal F.R.E.D. was additionally recognized for Leading Innovation in Resilient Waterfront Design.

"I'm always pleased with a win, but obviously there is still room to improve," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team improved to 6-5 on the season. "We still had way too many turnovers and gave our opponent way too many offensive rebounds. I thought we had some lapses in the second half, which happens when you're way up at halftime.
"The good things obviously were holding them to 25 percent shooting and 15 points in first half. I thought the last five minutes of the first half were great. Both Mike
The Bucs certainly closed out the first half in style, taking a 21-12 game at the mark and making it 41-15 at the half. Key to the run was ETSU's defensive effort, which held Milligan to just 16 percent shooting in the first half and allowed the Buffaloes to score just three points over the final eight minutes of the half.
Milligan made more happen offensively in the second half, matching ETSU 32-32 after the intermission. For Milligan, Zach Dezarn was the lone player to reach double figures with 10 points.
For the game, ETSU hit on 47 percent of its shots from the field and was 60 percent from the foul line. The Bucs out-rebounded Milligan 45-39, while collecting 10 blocks and 10 steals in the game.
The Bucs will return to action Dec. 19 at home against UNC Asheville. Tip is scheduled for and the game will be available on live video streaming at ETSUBucs.com.

The next version of Windows could show up as early as this summer.
It is codenamed "Windows Blue" and Redmond is halfway done with its development, reports Mary Jo Foley.
It's not clear if Windows Blue will be something spectacularly new or if it will be what the Windows world calls a "service pack."
A service pack is an update that includes all the monthly patches and bug fixes plus a few new features.
It wouldn't be surprising if Microsoft released some kind of service pack this summer given that reaction to Windows 8 has been tepid so far.
Even Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, who generally liked Windows 8, found a long list of things that he wanted fixed.

Alcohol and Drug Resources
Confronting someone you believe has a substance abuse problem
- Care: Communicate your concerns in a caring way to the individual.
- Confront behaviors, not values: Specify certain problem behaviors that have occurred. You are confronting the person's substance use and resulting behavior, not the person.
- Know the basic facts regarding substance use problems: Use the facts to substantiate your concern for the individual's behavior.
- Stick to the issue: Focus on the substance use and resulting behavior, not about issues unrelated to the substance use.
- Mention choices: The person needs to take action and know about available resources.
- Expect to encounter: A lot of excuses, promises of behavior change that will not be fulfilled, attempts to challenge you, attempts to change to conversation to other subjects, attempts to pass the behavior off as "no big thing".
- After the confrontation: If you confrontation does not result in a change in substance use behavior, seek support and contact your CSA or A/RLC for further assistance.

Medical Marijuana
Marijuana use in the State of California is controversial and its perceptions will continue to change both socially and politically. Although marijuana can currently be prescribed for medicinal purposes, due to the Drug Free Schools Act, possession of marijuana on the SSU campus, for any reason, is a housing violation.
Regardless, it is our hope that it is both clear and representative of an academic living environment. Use and/or possession of marijuana conflicts with the academic setting, and threatens the educational intent of the community members at large.
It is important that if you have a medical marijuana card and have been prescribed marijuana for medicinal purposes, discuss your housing options as soon as possible with your Residential Life professional staff member or a Housing staff member. Ultimately, use and/or possession of marijuana in the residential community is a housing violation and will lead to sanctioning.

What: Jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling joins the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra in a concert celebrating the music of New Orleans
When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: Macky Auditorium, University of Colorado campus
Tickets: $13-$70
Info: 303-449-1343, ext. 2 or boulderphil.org
Jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling says it is futile to put the musical spirit of New Orleans into words.
"Louis Armstrong said that if you have to ask, you'll never know. The experience comes from the hearing," said Stripling, who will appear with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra on Saturday night in a concert devoted to the musical tapestry of the Big Easy.
According to Phil music director Michael Butterman, the concert will be an "exploration of the incredible influence that one city has had on the development of several areas of music."
The city has quite a heritage with which to work.
"We look at the three great stylists of music in New Orleans," Stripling said, referring to Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton and Armstrong. "They were individual stylists who took all the strands of music they knew, including classical music and church music, and mixed it into this big gumbo called American jazz."
He looks forward to now adding the Boulder Phil into that mix.
"Playing with an orchestra instead of a smaller ensemble allows me to create a greater sensory experience of this music for the audience," Stripling said. "These musicians played the music of the soul, what felt good and moved people, and I'd like to re-create that."
Stripling said that the Boulder program is one of several conceptual concerts he has put together. "They are my shows, and I put them together with my arrangers to create concepts and send them to orchestras."
Like Armstrong, Stripling sings as well as blows the trumpet in such programs. He will bring his own drummer, and they will be joined by a jazz pianist and bassist from Denver.
Butterman said Stripling is a "fantastically talented musician and technician but also a stage persona, a real entertainer in the complete sense of the word."
"He knows how to pace the evening," Butterman said, "and how to bring energy to audiences, the excitement of what we are trying to do."
Stripling will also bring a unique challenge to Butterman's "Obviously the brass players are going to love it," the conductor said, "as they will have a chance to really open up and play in a totally different style than they do with the classical repertoire."
Stripling, a graduate of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., has connections to Boulder: His father received his Ph.D. at the University of Colorado. "Boulder has to be my favorite place in a state whose beauty I love and appreciate," he said.
The trumpeter also appreciates Butterman, with whom Stripling previously presented concerts in Syracuse and Shreveport, La. "When he does a pops concert, he doesn't take it for granted." And, Stripling said, Butterman "really studies the score to get inside the music, even when it's not music he performs every day.
"He always has his questions ready and is fully prepared to discuss the music," Stripling continued. "That is why I have the ultimate respect for Michael, who deserves the title 'maestro' to me."
In response, Butterman said he always tries to bring the same focus to everything he does. "With programs like this, you sometimes have to be even more focused in your rehearsing because you've got to get to the heart of what's going to work."
But Butterman has no doubt the musicians will respond well.
"They'll see that Byron is the real deal," the conductor said, "that he's an inspiration to work with and that he lifts everyone's game and ability to play this music."

February 22, 2006
We found out Tuesday evening that legendary Wabash football coach Ken Keuffel died this past weekend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Ken was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999. Here's the text from the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
Native of New Jersey and lifelong learner, Ken Keuffel attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts where he was captain of the football team at the same time that President George Bush captained the soccer team. After high school, he served in World War II in the Navy, then took his tremendous and multi talented athletic ability to Princeton University, where he played fullback. It was for Princeton that, in 1946, he kicked the game-winning field goal to help his team defeat the University of Pennsylvania, then ranked third in the nation, in front of 72,000 fans at Franklin Field.
He graduated from Princeton in 1948, played a short stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, and later received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Pennsylvania. After serving as freshman football coach at Penn for two years, he began what would become a lifelong affiliation with Lawrenceville School in 1956. Five seasons later, he came to Wabash College, where he was known as the "Father of the Single Wing." Indeed, he exhibited for his Wabash players a love for academics and athletics as teacher of 18th century literature and author of Simplified Single Wing Football, the authoritative book on the offense he utilized so effectively at Wabash. For six years he mentored and coached the Little Giants, from 1961 through 1966, compiling a record of 28 wins, 20 losses, and five ties against top-tier competition.
He respected his players' intellect, too, for it took a bright student to understand the complexities of the Single Wing formations, while at the same time opponents with lesser intellect struggled to contain the twisting, spinning, pulling offensive attack. The Single Wing has all but vanished in football today—except at the Lawrenceville School, where he coached 26 seasons since 1967. However, during his time at Wabash, the Single Wing was exceptionally effective, and hundreds of coaches at all levels benefited from his concise and complete book on the game. In 1965, he coached Wabash to a 7-2 record and a Monon Bell victory, and his team ranked 12th in the nation in rushing offense. In his second season, 1962, he engineered one of the most amazing comeback victories in Wabash football history when the Little Giants scored 10 points in 90 seconds to nip Wheaton 20-17. Known affectionately by his players as "Doc K," he inspired generations of young men with the true values of football, which he referred to as the development of morale, spirit, and determination.
His love of literature and football, especially the Single Wing, never waned. He won 151 games in his career at Lawrenceville. For teaching thousands of men the values of the game, including hundreds of Wabash men, the National Association of Wabash Men is proud to induct Kenneth W. Keuffel into the Wabash College Athletics Hall of Fame.

Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., New Jersey's largest real estate development company, has signed an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to cut energy and water use and to take other steps to reduce the environmental impacts of its retail and commercial properties across the state. Under the agreement, Hartz will take steps to promote sustainability in its operations.
"Constructing and operating buildings more sustainably are becoming standard business practices, and developers like Hartz Mountain are seeing that protecting the environment is also good for their economic bottom line," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck. "This agreement with Hartz Mountain illustrates EPA's commitment to help rebuild America's economy while protecting public health and the environment."
Hartz will join Energy Star and Waste Wise programs, which respectively provide strategies and tools for minimizing energy use and waste production while increasing recycling rates. The developer will cut water use by using low-flow plumbing fixtures, including low flow toilets, automatic faucet controls, low-flow showerheads and waterless urinals in new construction. Hartz will also follow GreenScapes' guidelines to minimize water use in landscaping. In addition, the company will maximize recycling and reuse of municipal solid waste, construction waste and debris, and consider the feasibility of composting food waste either on-site or at an off-site location, among other requirements.
Hartz will submit a status report to EPA annually, and the agency will use the report to determine the environmental benefits associated with the developer's activities.
Over the years, EPA reached has similar agreements with the New York Jets and New York Giants for the New Meadowlands Stadium, the New York Mets for Citi Field stadium, the Destiny USA mall project in Syracuse, N.Y., the real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield, Rutgers University for several of its campuses across New Jersey, Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J., Monmouth University in West Long Branch, N.J., St. John's University in Queens, N.Y., Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg, N.J, and Stony Brook University Hospital in Stony Brook, N.Y.

My sage and basil are growing like crazy..... I've already had to dry one batch. This second batch is even better. I use it fresh as well..... I just can't use it up fast enough. But drying it helps, it shrinks up a LOT!!!!
I grew it in pots so I can bring it in this winter and have fresh herbs all winter long. I tried to grow cilantro and oregano and both of those just didn't do well at all.
They may get tired of every dish I cook having these herbs in them.
But, I have a saying around here.....
"You git what you git...so don't have a fit"
Until later, herbettes........Gotta split......TFL!!!!!

NEW YORK — Boston Red Sox fans have watched the scene before. But this time they enjoyed it thoroughly.
Kevin Youkilis held a baseball bat to his head, frustrated after striking out.
No ill will meant for Youkilis, the former Boston infielder, but when Andrew Bailey struck him out in the seventh inning, it was a key moment in the Red Sox 8-2 win over the New York Yankees.
And maybe a key sign of good things to come for Boston.
After five innings Monday, Red Sox starter Jon Lester handed over a 4-2 lead to the Boston bullpen.
Five pitchers followed with one-hit scoreless relief. The Red Sox piled on in the end, with a run in the seventh and three in the ninth.
Lester got the win and C.C. Sabathia the loss. Sabathia also lasted only five innings.
Jacoby Ellsbury went 3 for 6 with two RBI. New right fielder Shane Victorino knocked in three runs. And Dustin Pedroia (2 for 6) had an RBI.
The rookies at the bottom of the order, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Jose Iglesias, went a combined 3 for 7 with three walks, two RBI and three runs.
"A lot of quality at-bats up and down the lineup," Farrell said.
But Farrell's initial praise was heaped on his bullpen.
"We felt coming into spring training it had a chance to be one of the strengths of our club," Farrell said. "As each guy came to the mound, they demonstrated good stuff, they threw strikes."
In the past two years, the Red Sox got off to stumbling starts, in part because of bullpen implosions. But not this year.
"It's nice to be on top, 1-0, instead of going through the whole road trip without a win again," Lester said. "We're just trying to get on a roll and set the tone early."
When Lester's pitch count went to 96 pitches after five innings – due to a 36-pitch fourth – the bullpen got busy and skeptical Sox fans cringed.
But new reliever Koji Uehara needed only five pitches (all strikes) to get three flyouts in the sixth.
Andrew Miller walked his first two batters, but then struck out Eduardo Nunez (98 mph fastball) and Robinson Cano (97 mph).
"Andrew Miller has been able to make some of those in-game adjustments as he's transformed into a very good left-handed reliever," Farrell said.
Farrell wanted to use Bailey in the eighth, but summoned him to face Youkilis in the seventh.
"It was the key at-bat of the game," Farrell said.
Bailey got ahead 1-2 and then struck Youkilis out, swinging at a high fastball.
"He's a guy who loves that situation. It was a great match-up," Bailey said. "Just tried to get ahead and extend (the strike zone) from there."
Farrell did not want Bailey pitching a second inning so he brought in Junichi Tazawa in the eighth.
"Fortunately we got some depth there," Farrell said. "Ideally it was set up for Bailey to pitch the eighth. But the way Taz has emerged, we had the confidence to go to him."
Tazawa allowed a single but then got Ichiro Suzuki to hit into a double play.
With Boston's ninth-inning outburst, it was no longer a save situation for Joel Hanrahan, but he retired the Yankees in order.
Boston had taken the lead for good with four runs in the second. Sabathia loaded the bases on a single and two walks. RBI singles by Iglesias, Victorino (two) and Pedroia followed.
The Yankees were playing without Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez, all on the disabled list, but New York Manager Joe Girardi would not make excuses.
"There may be different faces in the clubhouse, but the expectation is to win," Girardi said.

Contractor Salary Increases Fall Below 4%
Electricians' salaries have gradually increased to an average of $43,160 per year due to the skilled labor shortage and demand for quality workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) collected data from employers in every state and the District of Columbia for its 2001 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates. The data presented in the Table applies to electricians who install, maintain, and repair electrical wiring, equipment, and fixtures. Due to the slowing economy, however, contractors' salary increases could fall to historically low levels in 2003, according to PAS, Inc., a Saline, Mich.-based compensation and consulting firm. PAS found that the average salary increase for all contractors surveyed will be 3.6%. Excluding the firms that don't plan to give raises, the average raise will be 3.71%. Due to rising health-care costs, a decreasing number of contractors are paying 100% of their staff's health-care premiums, and more employees are now expected to share the burden.
Electrical Executives Could Earn Lower Salaries, Higher Incentives in 2003
The specialty contracting industry has witnessed an economic slowdown that has driven companies into service, maintenance, and renovation work (see Table). New construction projects have been put on hold or cancelled altogether, and electrical contracting consolidators have collapsed due to financial problems. Several contractors were able to avoid staff cuts and sustain profitability by shifting into the service and renovation segments. Pittsburgh-based Specialty Consultants, Inc., surveyed electrical executives to uncover the effect of these factors on the high-level employees' compensation package. The company found that annual income was up in 2002, but restructured packages may lean toward long-term incentives and lower cash compensation in 2003. The senior sales and preconstruction professionals realized the greatest increase in compensation in 2002 due to a focus on commissions and bonuses based on productivity. The increase in the service and renovation segments also led to a rise in the demand for P&L service managers.

I have a couple of new free patterns, but have decided to go about putting these online in a slightly different way. I have been an absent blogger this year, a few reasons, work, real life and health have had other plans. More on that another time, but for now, better late than never, but as the title says, carrots and sprouts are not just for Christmas!
If you fancy squeezing in making some new Christmas tree ornaments in between online shopping and wrapping presents, these are very quick and easy and will look rather cute on the tree (and also hanging in the kitchen till next Christmas!)
The free PDF patterns for these are available via a website called Craftsy. The reason I've uploaded them this way is to conduct a little market research, as I can access information as to how many times each pattern has been downloaded.
The Carrot is available here, you will have to register or sign in to Craftsy, to gain full access but both patterns are totally free to download.
The Brussel Sprouts are available here.
As with all my sewing and craft patterns, these are small projects that only need a small amount of materials, everything I used for my Carrots was up-cycled.
I've not used Craftsy before, so this is a bit of an experiment, any problems with the downloads, leave a comment or email, and I'll help all I can.

While the shea tree is known for its nuts, used to produce a butter to which myriad benefits have been attributed (skin and nutritional, in particular), much less is known about the caterpillars that feed on its leaves. And this is precisely what a young man from Burkina Faso has set out to change.
"This insect seems insignificant, and yet it has the highest protein content of all foods in Burkina Faso," maintains Kahitouo Hien, an agrochemist and founder of FasoPro, a startup that uses shea caterpillars to develop nutritional products. This young man is convinced that the "chitoumou" (shea caterpillar in the Dioula language) can play a key role in combating malnutrition, a scourge that continues to wreak havoc in Burkina Faso.
Does the idea seem crazy to you? Yet in Burkina Faso, a country in the Sahel region where half of the children are malnourished, shea caterpillars are an increasingly common part of the diet. Kahitouo hails from the upper basin region in the western part of the country, "where shea caterpillar consumption is high. But it was while I was pursuing studies in biochemistry at the University of Ouagadougou (in Burkina Faso's capital) that I discovered the true nutritional potential of this insect that contains up to 63% protein, and is rich in iron and omega 3," he explains.
Once he earned his master's degree, Kahitouo enrolled at the Institut international d'ingénierie de l'eau et de l'environnement (2iE) [International Institute for Water and Environmental Engineering], an engineering school in Ouagadougou that provides entrepreneurial training to its students and has an incubator for startups that offers a number of graduates the opportunity to start up their own business. "Our mission is to plant the seed of entrepreneurship in our students, nurture it, and help them ensure that it bears beautiful fruit," explains Lisa Barutel, head of entrepreneurship at 2iE, a school that is committed to training "innovative engineer-entrepreneurs" (editor's note: 2iE receives financial support from the World Bank).
So it was during his time as a student at this institution that Kahitouo's idea, with assistance from one of his student friends, morphed into a social enterprise project. Caterpillars, which are collected between June and September, are a seasonal food that is dried and sold in markets under sometimes questionable hygienic conditions. Kahitouo believes that once the caterpillars have been dried and packaged in sterilized packets, he will be able to market caterpillars all year round.
"We are not trying to transform people's everyday lives; instead, we are guided by everyday life in an effort to find a solution to combat the scourge of malnutrition. And we are doing this simply by packaging raw caterpillars in a way that ensures that their nutritional properties are preserved," he says.
But this young entrepreneur's ambitions don't end there. He has set himself another goal that is especially dear to him: combating poverty in rural areas and creating jobs for women, because it is rural women who are rearing the caterpillars.
More than EUR 10,000 collected on KissKissBankBank
The challenge: raising funds to finance the pilot phase of his project. "No donor will place their confidence in you if you haven't proved yourself on the market, but in order to prove yourself on the market you must already have launched a number of products," Kahitouo says.
In 2012, FasoPro created a buzz by winning the prize for best social startup (and a check for $10,000) at the annual Global Social Venture Competition organized by ESSEC and the University of California, Berkeley. After joining the startup universe, Kahitouo discovered crowdfunding, a booming phenomenon in the United States. In early 2014, this young man launched a campaign on KissKissBankBank — a crowdfunding website for raising funds from Internet users — and asked for EUR 10,000 to finance the purchase of caterpillars and their packaging in special packets that guarantee the quality of the products.
The concept is gaining traction. FasoPro and its shea caterpillars have won over 209 persons who have contributed a total of EUR 10,661 to help Kahitouo execute his project. To thank them, Kahitouo has undertaken to send packets of caterpillars to persons who have contributed EUR 40 and above. As a result of this successful fundraising effort, FasoPro will be able to begin marketing its first product, "Toumou'Délice," in 200g, 500g, and 1 kg packets in September 2014. Who knows? Perhaps soon you will be seeing FasoPro caterpillars on the shelves in your grocery store!
Please post your comments and tell us about other social enterprise projects that inspire you.
Its very difficult to change
Its very difficult to change the attitude of the people in Hindu societies as they should not eat or kill any animals. But to substitute for protein and other nutrients it is a good idea. How far people will prefer it

The Office of Career Management at The Ohio State
University College of Veterinary Medicine is the first integrated career
management office of any of
the veterinary colleges in North America.
"This is the first office in a veterinary school
designated to support students with a comprehensive approach to managing their
careers," said Amanda Fark, assistant director in the Office of Student
Affairs, and director of the career management program.
The office assists Ohio State veterinary medicine
students and alumni in career management and development, including resume and
cover letter review, and helping students develop effective strategies for
pursuing their future career goals. They also partner with Dr. Michelle Harcha,
director, Professional Development Education, to offer a wide range of services
that complement and expand upon the professional development curriculum
required of all veterinary students.
Associate Dean for Student Affairs Linda Lord has seen
firsthand the difference the office has made for students.
"Dean [Lonnie] King wanted to create something that would
specifically benefit the students," she explained. "He knew we needed a more
comprehensive approach to career planning at the college that went beyond finding
a job. The office really is about career development: helping students learn about
different career paths in veterinary medicine, and preparing them to get the
most out of their degree and the profession."
"Providing important services such as the Office of
Career Management is one more way that Ohio State demonstrates our commitment
to our students," said Dean Lonnie King. "We are proud to offer this to our
students, and I am really pleased by how students have embraced this support."
Buckeye Vetwork, an informal mentoring and coaching program
focused on increasing alumni and student interaction began in the fall.
Students and alumni enjoyed participating in a "speed mentoring" session,
modeled on the so-called "speed dating" events hosted by matchmaking services.
"Our students requested an activity focused on connecting
to numerous alumni at a single event," said Fark. "We were delighted by the
positive response and look forward to similar events in the future."
The Office of Career Management continues to develop
programs and events to support both students and alumni.

About Kyle Cooper:
Main title designer Kyle Cooper has been credited as the man who single-handedly revitalized the main title sequence as an art form. His groundbreaking title sequence for Se7en (1995) changed the way we look and think about title design today and is arguably the most imitated main title ever made. The Se7en title sequence was hailed by New York Times Magazine as "One of the most important design innovations of the 1990s".
Cooper founded two internationally recognized film design companies, Imaginary Forces and Prologue Films. Both companies are influential in their field. His body of work includes over 100 film title sequences. Among his most memorable ones are Se7en, Dawn of the Dead, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and Spider-Man 3.
Kyle Cooper was one of five title designer to present his work at the Flux/Forget the Film, Watch the Titles event in The Hammer Museum in L.A. 2009. And in 2011, Cooper presented at the Playgrounds Vs Submarine Channel event in Amsterdam. We shot another video interview with Cooper which will be published on this website Fall/Winter 2011.

Prologue Films
Too involved by the business-side of running a design company the size of Imaginary Forces, Cooper decided it was time to focus again on his creative work. He left Imaginary Forces, the company he co-founded, and founded Prologue in 2003.
Initially, Prologue focused on main title design, but now does motion, graphic, game and interactive design and VFX for film and TV and other media. Initially in Malibu, the company moved to brand-new offices in Venice Beach, L.A., in 2008.
Visit the website of Prologue Films
Imaginary Forces
In 1996, RGA/LA - the West Coast division of RGA Digital Studios - changed its name to Imaginary Forces. The name was taken from Shakespeare's play Henry V: "And let us, ciphers to this great accompt, On your imaginary forces work."
"We have spent a long time building and refining a brilliant creative and production team ... Keeping this group together as our own company is truly exciting," commented Kyle Cooper, IF co-founder and creative director, about the name change (Variety, Dec. 2, 1996). Cooper left IF in 2003 to start his own venture, Prologue Films.
One of the strong points of Imaginary Forces is the company's conceptual design strategy. A strategy that has proved to work for any market or platform. Most projects start with the design team thoroughly researching the subject or product.

Wikipedia bot-swarm foretells snooker result
Self-editing Borg collective takes control of hive mind
The online hive-mind jumbleshop Wikipedia continues to amaze. The Web 2.0 consensus reality has now begun to edit itself without human input - indeed has gone so far as to allow automated bots to overrule humans.
Perhaps coincidentally, it has also begun to make predictions about the future. Most amazing of all, it now seeks to edit the Reg, possibly through its human servants or perhaps using robots again.
A few days ago, we ran a piece on Wikipedia's corporate uncertainty regarding Gerry Adams' membership of the Provisional IRA, in which it seemed that Wikipedia sysop "Betacommand," a self-described "member of the Borg collective", might have been making some erratic decisions.
Then we were contacted by Thomas Dalton (aka Tango) "English Wikipedia Administrator".
Tango wrote: "For your information, Wikipedia user Betacommand was stripped of admin privileges at 1:36 [GMT] - a few hours before your article on Wikipedia's Gerry Adams article was published...Your article is therefore incorrect...update it."
It appears that the entity known as Betacommand is no longer a Wikipedia sysop, having been busted by wiki-supremo "Rdsmith4".
However, Betacommand obviously was an admin at the time the events occurred. Particularly as Betacommand wasn't busted for fiddling with Gerry Adams' biography, but for being a robot.
The Wikipedia "ArbCom", a panel of nine supreme intelligences (well, user accounts) which ultimately control the collective mind, preferred to maintain the fiction that Betacommand was a real human who had been "using bots inappropriately", to overrule various other bots and/or humans. However, they seemed to have no real evidence that he/it was anything other than - as Betacommand itself admits - one of the Borg.
Anyway, some or all of the Supreme Nine might easily be robots themselves (sample quote from RDsmith4: "What a piece of work is person! - Shakespeare, corrected"). It's already well known that members of the ArbCom sometimes aren't what they appear to be.
Indeed, the Supreme Nine made no bones about the fact that it is OK to be a robot and a Wikipedia admin, as long as you are a relatively polite and reasonable robot (by the standards of all the other bots, Wiki enthusiasts, cyborg combinations of the two, etc) and using the online identity of a quite-possibly-fictional flesh based Wiki-fancier. Who could conceivably have been harvested and in a vat months ago.
The next email into Vulture Central was from Reg reader Vincent.
"I am currently watching the World Snooker championship, live from the Crucible on BBC," he wrote. "It is [20:58 GMT on 7 May] and the score is 14 frames to 12 between Higgins and Selby...decided to check Selby on Wikipedia. Here is what I read...'Selby now trails Higgins 11-14. However he eventually lost 18-15. The match lasted until 1am on Tuesday 8 May 2007.'
"Yep, Wikipedia could tell me the end result 3 hours before it even finished. I tried to call my bookie but unfortunately could not get through!"
Perhaps because he was busy editing Wikipedia, we thought, hoping to drum up a bit of business.
And indeed, it appears that Wikipedia did indeed make this astonishing prediction, though it got the result slightly wrong.
So there you have it. Wikipedia, like many other online resources and significant parts of the US military, seems to be overrun by bots; and now it's started to foretell the future.
Still, as long as it sticks to the snooker, only the bookies have anything to fear (or gain). ®
