Many students and adults would like to study human consciousness, parapsychology, transpersonal psychology, or some combination of these fields. While these topics are of great interest, the number of courses and degrees available in these topics are - surprisingly - very few. People often believe that there are active undergraduate or graduate-level programs at universities known for having parapsychology labs. Unfortunately, this is not true. At present the only universities that teach graduate-level courses on parapsychology are outside of the United States, in Europe.
If your interest in consciousness research can be focused on a relatively accepted aspect of it (say, biofeedback research) you may be able to find a professor at some mainstream university doing research that you could work with. Check reference sources like Psychological Abstracts and MedLine to see who is doing work in these areas and what institutions they are at, then write them. If your primary interest is parapsychology, things get much tougher. You can forget most mainstream academic institutions if you want to get seriously involved in this topic at the professional level.
In terms of realistic career advice, note that parapsychology is considered "marginal" by mainstream psychology. If your goal is a tenured faculty position at a major university, with plenty of time for research, any degree with an emphasis in parapsychology will not be looked upon with favor. Parapsychologists usually make a living teaching or doing another conventional job.
Some students solve the problem of wanting the advantages offered by a mainstream academic position, but without giving up their greater interests in parapsychology, by going to a mainstream school (where they are wisely discrete about their deeper interests), learning how to conduct research in some well-accepted discipline, and then quietly joining the Parapsychological Association and/or reading the primary parapsychological journals.
Scientific parapsychology is a minuscule field, with only a few dozen people in the entire world working in it. At present, the chances of landing a decent job are very small indeed. If you are so dedicated that this doesn't stop you, wonderful! But please be realistic.
Pursuing parapsychology as a career also requires strong entrepreneurial skills, enormous persistence and creativity, resourcefulness, solid training in one of more of the conventional sciences or in a scholarly discipline, and the ability to withstand the tides of conventional wisdom. The payoff is that parapsychology, like other scientific frontiers, is an extremely challenging discipline with plenty of room for exploring creative ideas and making significant advancements to the state-of-the-art. If you expect fast solutions to easy problems, or absolute answers to clear questions, then parapsychology is definitely not for you. If you enjoy exploring the full range of human potential and challenging the status quo, then there is no better discipline than parapsychology.

But there was a comment in the post that got me a bit down. Orac shows a photo of a sign for a "Baby Nappy Changer Unit" in a public toilet/restroom (which funnily uses the more Canadian washroom in the sign--it's at the Tower of London, so perhaps they're going for the most transparent term, given the tourists). About this sign, Orac says:
It sounds so much more civilized that [sic] "diaper."And my question is why? Nappy, the modern BrE equivalent to (AmE) diaper, is a baby-talk version of napkin--though no one these days calls the things that you put on babies napkins.* So, nappy, etymologically speaking, is on a par with other baby-talk words like doggy, horsie, and choo-choo. The OED's (draft 2003 definition) first citation for it in print comes from 1927, and it's hardly complimentary of the word:
1927 W. E. COLLINSON Contemp. Eng. 7 Mothers and nurses use pseudo-infantile forms like pinny (pinafore), nappy (napkin).Diaper, on the other hand comes from a Latin, later French, with a root meaning 'white'. The first citation for it is from the 14th century, where it refers to a type of cloth, and it has its place in Shakespeare (probably not referring to a baby's napkin in that case, but to a napkin or towel). So, why does a babyfied word sound more 'civilized' to an educated AmE speaker than a good, old latinate word? Methinks that this is a symptom of American Verbal Inferiority Complex.
AVIC strikes Americans from all walks of life. It's why my mother thinks that it's "pretty" when an Englishperson rhymes garage with carriage. It's why Americans think people with English accents are more intelligent than they are. It's why I get e-mails from Americans who despair of their fellow citizens' diction and thank me for championing the 'correct ways'. (I e-mail back and explain that I'm doing no such thing and that their reasoning on the matter is flawed. I wonder why they never send a reply...) Of course, there's a similar syndrome affecting some BrE speakers: British Verbal Superiority Complex; however, I've not found this to be quite as evenly distributed through the population as AVIC is in the US.
Now, there are times to think that some (uses of) language is(/are) better than others. One thing that Orac and commentators on his blog praise is the directness and honesty of certain signs. I don't always agree with their examples, but directness and honesty are admirable qualities in signs. (One that is pictured on the blog, but that I've never understood, is the BrE convention of putting polite notice at the top of a sign that orders people around. What's wrong with please?) Other things that make some (uses of) language arguably better than others are consistency within the system (e.g. in spelling) and avoidance of ambiguity. But these are issues about the use of the language, and both BrE and AmE can be (and often are) used in clear, consistent, direct, honest ways.
So, back to my old mantras:
- 'Different' doesn't mean 'better' or 'worse'.
- 'British' doesn't necessarily mean 'older' or 'original'.
- 'Older' doesn't mean 'better' either!
- Let's enjoy each other's dialects AND our own!
(One can be obnoxiously preachy in either dialect too.)
Happy Labor Day to the Americans out there. (I won't re-spell it Labour, since it's a name.) And I will admit my prejudice that American Monday-holidays generally have better names!
* I can't resist a few side-notes on nappy and napkin.
- AmE uses sanitary napkin for a feminine hygiene product, while BrE uses sanitary towel.
- Then there's the AmE meaning of nappy, which derives from the more general sense of 'having a nap'--as fabric can (BrE: can have). In AmE this also refers to the type of tightly curled hair that is (pheno)typical of people of sub-Saharan African ancestry--particularly when said hair is not very well cared for. This was the meaning in play when (orig. AmE) shock-jock Don Imus called the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos". When the news story was reported in the UK, there was some confusion (see, for example the comments here), with some people thinking that Imus was claiming that the women wore diapers or napkins on their heads (à la Aunt Jemima).
- Then there's the old napkin versus serviette drama in BrE and related Es. In some (e.g. South African and some BrE speakers), the former is reserved for cloth table napkins, and the latter for paper. Elsewhere, serviette just marks you out as being 'non-U'--i.e. not upper class. Serviette is virtually unknown in AmE.
Grace often retold the story of how, at 19, desperate to be a poet, she took a course taught by WH Auden. When she used the word "trousers" in a poem, Auden asked why she was writing in British English - why didn't she just say "pants"? Paley explained that she thought that was just what writers did, and then never did it again.

Confidence in God Leads to Prosperity*
1My son, do not forget* my teaching,
take to heart my commands;
2For many days, and years of life,a
and peace, will they bring you.
3Do not let love and fidelity forsake you;
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4Then will you win favor and esteem
before God and human beings.
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
on your own intelligence do not rely;
6In all your ways be mindful of him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7Do not be wise in your own eyes,b
fear the LORD and turn away from evil;
8This will mean health for your flesh
and vigor for your bones.
9Honor the LORD with your wealth,
with first fruits of all your produce;c
10Then will your barns be filled with plenty,
with new wine your vats will overflow.
11The discipline of the LORD, my son, do not spurn;d
do not disdain his reproof;
12* For whom the LORD loves he reproves,
as a father, the son he favors.e
The Benefits of Finding Wisdom*
13Happy the one who finds wisdom,
the one who gains understanding!f
14Her profit is better than profit in silver,
and better than gold is her revenue;
15She is more precious than corals,
and no treasure of yours can compare with her.g
16Long life is in her right hand,
in her left are riches and honor;
17Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace;
18She is a tree of life* to those who grasp her,
and those who hold her fast are happy.h
19The LORD by wisdom founded the earth,
established the heavens by understanding;
20By his knowledge the depths* are split,
and the clouds drop down dew.
Justice Toward One's Neighbor Brings Blessing*
21My son, do not let these slip from your sight:
hold to deliberation and planning;
22So will they be life to your soul,*
and an adornment for your neck.
23Then you may go your way securely;
your foot will never stumble;
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid,
when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.
25Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
of the ruin of the wicked when it comes;
26For the LORD will be your confidence,
and will keep your foot from the snare.
27Do not withhold any goods from the owner
when it is in your power to act.
28Say not to your neighbor, "Go, come back tomorrow,
and I will give it to you," when all the while you have it.
29Do not plot evil against your neighbors,
when they live at peace with you.
30Do not contend with someone without cause,
with one who has done you no harm.
31Do not envy the violent
and choose none of their ways:i
32To the LORD the devious are an abomination,
but the upright are close to him.
33The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked,
but the dwelling of the just he blesses;
34Those who scoff, he scoffs at,j
but the lowly he favors.
35The wise will possess glory,
but fools will bear shame.
* [3:1–12] The instruction consists of a series of six four-line exhortations in which the second line of each exhortation mentions a reward or benefit. In the first five exhortations, the teacher promises a reward: long life, a good name, divine protection, health, abundant crops. The last exhortation, vv. 11–12, departs from the command-reward scheme, implying that being a disciple of the Lord does not guarantee unalloyed bliss: one must allow God freedom to "reprove" or educate. The process of education is like that described in chap. 2: the father first invites his son (or disciple) to memorize his teaching (v. 1), then to enter upon a relationship of trust with him (v. 3), and finally to place his trust in God, who takes up the parental task of education (v. 5). Education begun by the parent is brought to full completion by God.
* [3:1] Do not forget: this word and several others in the section such as "teaching," "commands," "years of life," and the custom of affixing written teaching to one's body, occur also in Deuteronomy. This vocabulary suggests that Proverbs and Deuteronomy had a common origin in the scribal class of Jerusalem. This section (and vv. 21–34) subtly elaborates Dt 6:5–9, "You shall love the LORD with all your heart (v. 5)…Take to heart these words (v. 1)…Recite them when you are at home and when you are away (v. 23)…when you lie down (v. 24)…Bind them (v. 3) on your arm as a sign and let them be a pendant on your forehead" (v. 21).
* [3:12] One might be tempted to judge the quality of one's relationship to God by one's prosperity. It is an inadequate criterion, for God as a teacher might go counter to student expectations. The discipline of God can involve suffering.
* [3:13–20] An encomium of Wisdom through the listing of her benefits to the human race and the depiction of her role in creation. Wisdom, or understanding, is more valuable than silver and gold. Its fruit is long life, riches, honor and happiness (vv. 13–18). Even the creation of the universe and its adornment (Gn 1) were not done without wisdom (vv. 19–20). The praise of Wisdom foreshadows the praise of a noble wife in the final poem (31:10–31), even to the singling out of the hands extended in a helpful way toward human beings.
* [3:18] A tree of life: in the Old Testament this phrase occurs only in Proverbs (11:30; 13:12; 15:4) and Genesis (2:9; 3:22, 24). The origins of the concept are obscure; there is no explicit mention of it in ancient Near Eastern literature, though on ancient seals trees are sometimes identified as trees of life. When the man and the woman were expelled from the garden, the tree of life was put off limits to them, lest they "eat of it and live forever" (Gn 3:22). The quest for wisdom gives access to the previously sequestered tree of life. The tree of life is mentioned also in the apocryphal work 1 Enoch 25:4–5. Rev 2 and 22 mention the tree of life as a source of eternal life.
* [3:20] Depths: for the Hebrews, the depths enclosed the great subterranean waters; the rain and dew descended from the waters above the firmament; cf. Gn 1:6–10; Jb 26:8, 12; Ps 18:15; 24:2. The cosmogony provides the reason why Wisdom offers such benefits to human beings: the world was created in wisdom so that all who live in accord with wisdom live in tune with the universe.
* [3:21–35] As in other instructions, the father in vv. 21–26 urges the son to seek wisdom, which in this case means practicing the virtues of "deliberation and planning," a specification of wisdom. Practicing these virtues brings protection from violence (vv. 22–26) and friendship with God (vv. 32–35). The language is like Ps 91.
Verses 27–35 are arranged according to a clear order. Serving God requires serving one's neighbor through kindness (vv. 27–28), maintaining peace with the good (vv. 29–31), having no envy of the wicked (v. 31), because the Lord's friendship and kindness are with the just, not with the wicked. Matching the six exhortations of vv. 1–12, vv. 27–34 contain six prohibitions. The righteous/wicked contrast is progressively developed: in contrast to the wicked, the righteous are in God's inner circle, their houses are blessed, they deal with a merciful God, and obtain honor.
* [3:22] Your soul: Heb. nephesh means "throat, esophagus; life; soul." The meanings are connected. The throat area is the moist, breathing center of the body, which stands for life and for self. The figure of speech is called metonymy, in which one word is substituted for another on the basis of a causal relation, e.g., eye for sight, arm for power, or, as here, "throat area" for life. Proverbs sometimes plays on this concrete meaning of life (e.g., 21:23).
a. [3:2] Prv 4:10; 9:11; 10:27.
c. [3:9] Ex 34:26; Lv 27:30; Dt 26:2; Sir 7:31; 35:7.
g. [3:15] Prv 8:11, 19; Wis 7:8–11.
h. [3:18] Prv 4:13; 8:35; 11:30; Gn 2:9; 3:22.

In Seattle, the city that sired Starbucks, you don't have to travel more than a few steps to find a decent — nay, great — cup of joe. Java is the lifeblood of the city: Where other cities might offer walking tours of historic sites, in Seattle, " coffee crawls" take visitors to the city's best-loved coffeehouses.
The obsession extends well across the state: Even on the drive to Olympic National Park, miles and miles of rural, unpeopled landscape are broken every so often by tiny kiosks hawking fancy macchiato.
All of which makes for a cutthroat atmosphere for coffee vendors: It's not enough to simply make a decent cappuccino. Some find they need a shtick to stand out from the crowd.
And that, perhaps, explains one of the seamier sides of the region's caffeinated habit: bikini baristas. Think Hooters, but with coffee instead of "great" wings. Apparently, even sexism gets filtered through the area's favorite brew.
Yes, at some drive-through coffee stands, the baristas bare more than their espresso knowledge while whipping up your drink.
But at one such chain of stands, Java Juggs, it seems the services offered weren't limited to topping customers off with foam. As The Seattle Times reports, police raided several of the stands and their sister operation — Twin Peaks — this week on suspicion that they were a front for prostitution and other lewd conduct. As the paper reports:
"Police say that some of the baristas at Java Juggs were making big bucks, including one who reportedly earned $100,000 in tips last year. Customers would routinely pay $20 for a cup of coffee and a 'show' by scantily clad barista that ranged from flashing the customer to sex, according to the search warrant."
Sadly, Java Juggs has many competitors in Washington state (with groan-inducing names like Bikini Baristas and Natte Latte.) And this isn't the only bit of sexist food news of this week. Alas, from Germany comes another example: sexist sausages.
Edeka, a German supermarket chain, is apparently now marketing "his and her" sausages, the German news site The Local reports. The women's sausages, the site reports, "are half the size of their masculine counterparts and significantly more expensive"; they also feature a beefy, shirtless male on the packaging. (The men's version comes with an image of a seductively posed woman.)
German journalist and political scientist Antje Schrupp highlighted the ham-headed marketing move on her blog this week. Schrupp also reprinted an angry letter sent to the supermarket chain by journalist Susanne Enz, who denounced the packaging as a form of "dull sexism."
Dull — and depressing. At least not every attempt to use women to market food is so clumsy. Care for a spoonful of Liz Lemon, anybody?

Chicago Hotel Palomar Wedding | Mimosa and Will-MARRIED!!!
When I first met Mimosa and Will for their consultation, it was instant chemistry. Mimosa is like the sister I neverView full post »
Please fill out the form below and we'll be in touch soon!! All emails will be returned within 24 hours. I can also be reached at 312-363-9299 or by email at [email protected]. I love to talk so call me anytime!
Wedding coverage starts at $3300-9000 plus Illinois sales tax.
The average couple generally anticipates $5000-7000 for their wedding package.
Remember the scene in Sex and the City the movie when Louise from St. Louis gives Carrie her Love charm? That's Melissa Diep. She's in love with Love. She's the kind of gal who wears her heart on her sleeve and cries a little when her brides and grooms take their First Look. She loves the thrill of photographing the magic that exists between her couples, the innocence of a sleeping newborn, and the simplicity of a family in their own backyard.
Melissa is always on the hunt for the new and interesting in her hometown of Chicago, by way of Saigon, Vietnam. It is because of her family's hardships and tenacity during their flight from the communist North––spending 10 days on a cramped fishing boat, then living in a refugee camp in Thailand for nearly two years––that have shaped who Melissa is today as a woman, wife, mother and photographer.
Armed with only a handful of pictures from her early childhood––one single baby photo and just a few as an infant in her family's camp––it's easy to understand why Melissa employs a photojournalistic approach behind the lens. She aims to deliver photo memories with stunning visual impact; natural and unscripted while telling your story effortlessly.
Melissa's upbringing motivates her to live fully and to appreciate the grand, the small, and the in between. In her everyday, Melissa rocks girly dresses with blazers on photo shoots and drinks Vietnamese coffee. She believes in finding beauty in unexpected places, always doing her hair and lusting over shiny red Minis (regrettably, but dutifully, she upgraded hers to a more baby-friendly vehicle).
Melissa lives in Chicago with The Giant and Little G, also affectionately known as her husband and one year old son, of whom she religiously takes one 100 photos a day.

It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm David Greene. Good morning. Pork was on the menu on Capitol Hill yesterday, but not the kind Congress produces. Lawmakers on the Senate Agriculture Committee were focused on the takeover of Smithfield Foods by a big Chinese company.
MONTAGNE: Smithfield is the largest pork processor in the U.S. Both Democratic and Republican Senators on the Agriculture Committee expressed concerns about the $4.7 billion dollar deal and its potential effect on U.S. food safety and security. Here's NPR's John Ydstie.
JOHN YDSTIE, BYLINE: Smithfield CEO Larry Pope tried to reassure lawmakers that the sale of his Virginia based company will not mean a transfer of jobs to China or a reduction in food safety. He said Smithfield and its prospective parent, Shuanghui International, intended to meet a growing demand for pork in China by exporting from the U.S.
LARRY POPE: This means increased capacity for U.S. producers, more jobs in processing and more exports for the U.S. economy. At the same time, we will continue to supply our same high quality, renowned products to U.S. consumers.
YDSTIE: But a number of lawmakers expressed concern that the quality and safety of Smithfield's products might be undermined if the buyout is approved. Shuanghui, the Chinese company, has been involved in some of the recent food safety fiascos in China. Professor Usha Haley of the West Virginia University Center for Global Business and Strategy, listed a number of them.
USHA HALEY: There have been outrageous food safety violations. Shuanghui fed pigs the banned chemical clenbuterol, Chinese food growers into glowing pork, cadmium rice, rat meat sold as mutton, toxic milk, etc., etc. Sixteen thousand dead pigs floated down a Shanghai River in March.
YDSTIE: The Smithfield CEO tried to calm those food safety fears by reminding lawmakers that Smithfield would continue to operate under U.S. law.
POPE: We're not operating under the laws of China. We're operating under the auspices of the USDA and the food inspection process. So I think, to your constituents back home, it's the same old Smithfield. Nothing's going to change. This is going to be an American company.
YDSTIE: The chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee Democrat Debbie Stabenow of Michigan had another concern - the transfer of Smithfield's pork production and processing technology to Shuanghui.
REPRESENTATIVE DEBBIE STABENOW: Can we expect that after the company had adopted Smithfield's excellent technology and practices, they will increase exports to Japan, our largest export market in competition with U.S. products?
YDSTIE: Pope countered by pointing out that pork is the main protein in the Chinese diet and China is not producing enough to satisfy its growing domestic demand.
POPE: China is looking at this as an opportunity to feed their people, to satisfy the civil issue that they've got to solve in giving safe food to their people. It's not about an opportunity to import product and then export back out to Japan.
YDSTIE: Republican Senator Mike Johanns of Nebraska pressed Pope on another issue that appeared to rankle a number of Senators.
REPRESENTATIVE MIKE JOHANNS: There is something really offensive about the reality that they can do this here, but a very aggressive company like Smithfield could not do this in China. Chinese regulators would laugh at you if you said, well, I'll just buy Shuanghui.
YDSTIE: Pope acknowledged that situation is troubling, but offered no solution. The U.S. government's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States continues to review the Smithfield deal. It could block the takeover, but at present it's not obvious what might cause the committee to stop it. John Ydstie, NPR News, Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Murray, we're just hearing that film critic Roger Ebert has died. The Chicago Sun Times, Ebert's paper, tweeted the news a few moments ago. Ebert, of course, an icon of film criticism, a one-time filmmaker himself, best known perhaps for his days on TV with fellow critic Gene Siskel. Their thumbs up or thumbs down rating system now a de facto review method of critics and filmgoers alike.
In recent years, Ebert cut back on his work as he faced the series of bouts with cancer. Earlier this week he announced the leave of presence because of the latest recurrence. Back in 2011, Ebert talked with ALL THINGS CONSIDERED's Melissa Block and described life after major surgery on his throat.
ROGER EBERT: Over and over I would fantasize, that icy cold root beer. I yearned for the pleasure of it trickling down my throat. I knew that would never happen again.
CONAN: Surgery also changed the structure of his jaw and lower face, something he tried to keep a sense of humor about.
EBERT: I was advised not to be photographed looking like this. Well, it's how I look, and there's nothing I can do about it. We spend too much time as a society denying illness. It's a fact of life.
CONAN: Roger Ebert died today at age 70. Murray, you knew him.
MURRAY HORWITZ, BYLINE: I was privileged to have met Roger Ebert on a couple of occasions. And what you just heard through that voice box was who he was. I mean, he was just as simple and straightforward and straight from the shoulders to - to you when you met him as he was to his audiences on television. He had great taste. He - of course we disagree with him from time to time about films, but he loved what he did, and the courage that he showed at the end of his life was just exemplary and extraordinary. And he gets like five thumbs up.
CONAN: And with Gene Siskel he changed the business.
HORWITZ: He really did. It's a really good point, Neal. He - I mean now people really thought of film as an art. They really - all the sudden you heard discussions in, you know, Starbucks - well, even before then, you know, in McDonalds, that you would not hear about movies before.
CONAN: Yeah. Conversations that were once contained to, well, highbrow magazines.
HORWITZ: Right, right, right.
CONAN: Even the Village Voice - now on the street - everybody partaking of it.
HORWITZ: Everybody talked about, you know, framing the shot, everybody talked about the editing. And like the best broadcasting, you'll forgive me, like what you do here, it was entertainment but was also enlightenment. I mean he thought people a lot about film and what to look for when they went into a movie house. And he loved the movies.
CONAN: He love the movies, and I think that came across in everything he said and ever wrote about them. And, well, that magnified so much of what he said and talked about. Murray, thanks as always.
HORWITZ: Thank you, Neal.
CONAN: Murray Horwitz, NPR's favorite film buff with us here in Studio 3A. Of course more on the life and death of Roger Ebert later today on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. It's the TALK OF THE NATION for NPR News. Tomorrow, it's SCIENCE FRIDAY. We'll be with you again on Monday. I'm Neal Conan in Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Good question! You can increase the likelihood that we show authorship for your site by only using authorship markup on pages that meet these criteria:The URL/page contains a single article (or subsequent versions of the article) or single piece of content, by the same author. This means that the page isn't a list of articles or an updating feed. If the author frequently switches on the page, then the annotation is no longer helpful to searchers and is less likely to be featured. The URL/page consists primarily of content written by the author. Showing a clear byline on the page, stating the author wrote the article and using the same name as used on their Google+ profile.
You're free to write articles in the manner you prefer -- your users may really like the Pied Piper idea. However, for authorship annotation in search results, Google prefers to feature a human who wrote the content. By doing so, authorship annotation better indicates that a search result is the perspective of a person, and this helps add credibility for searchers. Again, because currently we want to feature people, link authorship markup to an individual's profile rather than linking to a company's Google+ Page.
In your scenario, both articles: example.com/en/article1.html and example.com/fr/article1.html should link to the same Google+ profile in the author's language of choice.
In the current search user interface, we only support one author per article, blog post, etc. We're still experimenting to find the optimal outcome for searchers when more than one author is specified.
The fastest way to prevent authorship annotation is to make the author's Google+ profile not discoverable in search results. Otherwise, if you still want to keep your profile in search results, then you can remove any profile or contributor links to the website, or remove the markup so that it no longer connects with your profile.
rel=publisher helps a business create a shared identity by linking the business' website (often from the homepage) to the business' Google+ Page. rel=author helps individuals (authors!) associate their individual articles from a URL or website to their Google+ profile. While rel=author and rel=publisher are both link relationships, they're actually completely independent of one another.
Authorship annotation is useful to searchers because it signals that a page conveys a real person's perspective or analysis on a topic. Since property listings and product pages are less perspective/analysis oriented, we discourage using authorship in these cases. However, an article about products that provides helpful commentary, such as, "Camera X vs. Camera Y: Faceoff in the Arizona Desert" could have authorship.

CIA Director-designate John Brennan strongly defended anti-terror attacks by unmanned drones Thursday under close questioning at a protest-disrupted confirmation hearing. On a second controversial topic, he said that after years of reading classified intelligence reports he still does not know if waterboarding has yielded useful information.
Despite what he called a public misimpression, Brennan told the Senate Intelligence Committee that drone strikes are used only against targets planning to carry out attacks against the United States, never as retribution for an earlier one. "Nothing could be further from the truth," he declared.
Referring to one American citizen killed by a drone in Yemen in 2011, he said the man, Anwar al-Alawki, had ties to at least three attacks planned or carried out on U.S. soil. They included the Fort Hood, Texas, shooting that claimed 13 lives in 2009, a failed attempt to down a Detroit-bound airliner the same year and a thwarted plot to bomb cargo planes in 2010.
"He was intimately involved in activities to kill innocent men women and children, mostly Americans," Brennan said.
In a sign that the hearing had focused intense scrutiny on the drone program, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told reporters after the hearing that she thinks it may be time to lift the secrecy off the program so that U.S. officials can acknowledge the strikes and correct what she said were exaggerated reports of civilian casualties.
Feinstein said she and a number of other senators are considering writing legislation to set up a special court system to regulate drone strikes, similar to the one that signs off on government surveillance in espionage and terror cases.
Speaking with uncharacteristic openness about the classified program, Feinstein said the CIA had allowed her staff to make more than 30 visits to the CIA's Langley, Va., headquarters to monitor strikes, but that the transparency needed to be widened.
"I think the process set up internally is a solid process," Feinstein said, but added: "I think there's an absence of knowing exactly who is responsible for what decision. So I think we need to look at this whole process and figure a way to make it transparent and identifiable."
In a long afternoon in the witness chair, Brennan declined to say if he believes waterboarding amounts to torture, but he said firmly it is "something that is reprehensible and should never be done again."
Brennan, 57, and President Obama's top anti-terrorism aide, won praise from several members of the committee as the day's proceedings drew to a close, a clear indication that barring an unexpected development, his confirmation as the nation's next head of the CIA is on track. The panel will meet in closed session next week to permit discussion of classified material.
Brennan bristled once during the day, when Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, accused him of having leaked classified information in a telephone call with former government officials who were preparing to make television appearances.
"I disagree with that vehemently," the nominee shot back.
Brennan made repeated general pledges to increase the flow of information to members of the Senate panel, but he was less specific when it came to individual cases. Asked at one point whether he would provide a list of countries where the CIA has used lethal authority, he replied, "It would be my intention to do everything possible" to comply.
He said he had no second thoughts about having opposed a planned strike against Osama bin Laden in 1998, a few months before the bombings of two U.S. embassies. The plan was not "well-grounded," he said, adding that other intelligence officials also recommended against proceeding. Brennan was at the CIA at the time.
Brennan was questioned extensively about leaks to the media about an al-Qaida plot to detonate a new type of underwear bomb on a Western airline. He acknowledged trying to limit the damage to national security from the disclosures.
On May 7 of last year, The Associated Press reported that the CIA thwarted an ambitious plot by al-Qaida's affiliate in Yemen to destroy a U.S.-bound airliner, using a bomb with a sophisticated new design around the one-year anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden. The next day, the Los Angeles Times reported that the would-be bomber was cooperating with U.S. authorities.
During Thursday's hearing, Risch and Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana were among those who contended Brennan had inadvertently revealed that the U.S. had a spy inside Yemen's al-Qaida branch when, hours after the first AP report appeared, he told a group of media consultants that "there was no active threat during the bin Laden anniversary because we had inside control of the plot."
The hearing was interrupted repeatedly at its outset, including once before it had begun. Eventually, Feinstein briefly ordered the proceedings halted and the room cleared so those re-entering could be screened to block obvious protesters.
Brennan is a veteran of more than three decades in intelligence work, and is currently serving as Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser in the White House.
Any thought he had of becoming CIA director four years ago vanished amid questions about the role he played at the CIA when the Bush administration approved waterboarding and other forms of "enhanced interrogation" of suspected terrorists.
On the question of waterboarding, Brennan said that while serving as a deputy manager at the CIA during the Bush administration, he was told such interrogation methods produced "valuable information."
Now, after reading a 300-page summary of a 6,000-page report on CIA interrogation and detention policies, he said he does "not know what the truth is."
The shouted protests centered on CIA drone strikes that have killed three American citizens and an unknown number of foreigners overseas.
It was a topic very much on the mind of the committee members who eventually will vote on Brennan's confirmation.
In the hours before the hearing began, Obama ordered that a classified paper outlining the legal rationale for striking at U.S. citizens abroad be made available for members of the House and Senate intelligence panels to read.
It was an attempt to clear the way for Brennan's approval, given hints from some lawmakers that they might hold up confirmation unless they had access to the material.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said he was encouraged when Obama called him to inform him of his decision.
But he said that when he went to read the material he became concerned the Department of Justice "is not following through" on the presidential commitment. Prodded to look into the matter, Brennan said he would.
Fewer than 50 drone attacks took place during the Bush administration, while more than 360 strikes have been launched under Obama, according to the website The Long War Journal, which tracks the operations.

When spring rolls around many people get excited over the thought of warmer weather and longer days. However, those who suffer from allergies mainly dread the thought of runny noses and itchy eyes. They never stop to smell the roses because the consequences would be unbearable for them.
When people are super sensitive to pollen and other environmental factors, it can cause a number of irritating symptoms that affect their daily lives. Some of the most common reactions people experience are difficulty breathing, red or puffy eyes, full sinuses and skin reactions. In order to correct these problems, many will resort to harmful medications to find relief. It is important to note that medications are not the only way to get relief from these symptoms.
What Causes Allergic Reactions?
When your immune system recognizes harmful substances in the body, it will remove them accordingly because they are threatening to your health. If your immune system mistakes something as being harmful, it will try to remove the substance by sneezing, coughing, vomiting or swelling. This allergic response is caused by the body's interpretation of the substance and not actually the substance itself.
How Chiropractic Can Help
A lot of general chiropractic care revolves around adjusting the nervous system and treating vertebral subluxations. This is why many people who suffer from allergies report a reduction of symptoms after visiting with a chiropractor on a regular basis. If there are misalignments present in the vertebrae, it can cause a focal irritation in the spine and create an abnormal signal in the nervous system. When these abnormal signals occur, the body will not interpret environmental messages correctly. It is because of this an allergic reaction will result.
Along with spinal adjustments, chiropractors will typically offer helpful lifestyle and nutritional advice to patients based on the specific needs that they might have. For people with allergies, certain foods and environmental factors may improve or make their symptoms worse. It is because of this a chiropractor can help you recognize the lifestyle you lead and recommend dietary changes that may improve allergies and overall health.
If you are among the millions of Americans who suffer from allergies, make an appointment with your chiropractor to go over your options. With the warmer weather approaching, it is important to be proactive about your symptoms.

The FT on Brockley and the East London Line
The FT today features a piece about the impact of the East London Line. It's essentially the same sort of thing we've seen before in the Standard.
For years, the far south-eastern reaches of London have been the last hope for young families looking for somewhere safe and pleasant to bring up children. Here, leafy streets, good schools and, most importantly, relatively low property prices have acted as a magnet for couples in their 20s and 30s looking to move from a flat into their first house. The main factor dissuading many has been poor public transport for those working in central London.
But the... East London Line... will transform working life for commuters from these predominantly residential areas and do wonders for property values.
Dr Steve Gibbons, of the London School of Economics, said: "Prices increase by about nine percentage points for each kilometre move towards a London Underground station or Docklands Light Railway station."
Here's what they say about Brockley specifically...
Brockley will be the first new stop travelling south on the line, which is due for completion in 2011 [sic]. With a collection of shops at its centre, it already caters largely to commuters with families. Its railway station has fast links to London Bridge station in the city centre. It has a large "conservation area" of 4,000 fine stucco houses protected from demolition or substantial redevelopment, making for an aesthetically pleasing environment. Its reasonable transport links mean it probably won't show the price growth of areas further south that will in effect come on to the London network for the first time, but it has good quality homes so should be a safe bet. Jonathan Keegan from the Rocodells estate agency in Brockley says: "The East London Line has had a good impact already. There was a real frenzy at the start of the year when the full details came out and prices have increased dramatically."
Average price for a three-bedroom house: £365,000.

Fuel cells are one technology that is full of promise, but has yet to deliver commercially in the consumer market. MTI Micro hopes to change that. The fuel cell maker in 2006 underwent a company-wide reorganization, with the intent of keeping it on track towards the fuel cell goal. Says CEO Peng Lim, who spearheaded the effort, "We stepped back. It was not good to keep telling people we are going to ship next year."
With Lim's guidance, the company focused on creating a marketable product in the short term. Now Lim has announced that MTI Micro finished its working prototypes last year and is working on building a factory to mass produce small consumer electronics methanol-powered fuel cells. He stated that this factory will come online in 2009 and units will hit the consumer market the same year.
MTI Micro is choosing to focus on consumer electronics -- in particular replacing small lithium ion batteries. Many of its competitors are looking to power cars with their designs, while MTI Micro focuses instead on items like cell phones and SLR cameras. Lim believes that the company's fuel cells will eventually deliver superior efficiency to traditional batteries. Said Lim, "There is still one wire left in portable devices today, and that's the charging wire. And the battery system is not efficient at all. You talk for three hours on your mobile phone and then you have to charge it for half an hour."
When they reach their potential, fuel cells promise longer battery life as they can run for around twice as long as a lithium ion battery of a comparable size. For example an add-on lithium ion SLR camera battery snaps onto the camera to increase lifetime to a total of 1,400 to 2,200 photos, depending on if a flash is used. MTI developed a fuel cell which clips onto the SLR similarly and offers an even better lifetime of 2,800 to more than 4,000 shots.
While few photographers will need so many shots, some photographers at sporting or fashion events may need the extra lifespan. One photographer reported that they carried five battery packs for a shoot, and could consolidate to a single fuel cell pack with a couple of cheaper refill cartridges.
Another key advantage of the cells is virtually non-existent recharge times. Where traditional lithium ion batteries can take half an hour or longer to charge, methanol fuel cells simply recharge by a methanol refill cartridge, which can take a mere seconds.
The fuel cells aren't necessarily a "green technology" as the methanol reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. However, they may provide some savings in terms of the sulfate and nitrogen fumes creating by burning fossil fuels at power plants to create electricity to charge traditional lithium ion batteries. Methanol is typically produced from via a catalyzed reaction starting with the methane component of natural gas.
Aside from providing practical benefits of lifetime and charge time, fuel cells are also safer. Methanol will only burn if exposed to a flame, where as lithium ion batteries can easily burst into flames if they just become a bit too hot, as seen with many recalls and reports, including the infamous incident in which an iPod burned a hole in a man's pocket.
George Relan, vice president of corporate development at MTI explains the advantages of methanol stating, "Methanol is the most energetic of the materials with the least amount of trouble for making a product. You don't have to pressurize it, store it in cold temperatures, or make a powder of it--like you need with hydrogen--which you then have to mix with water to get a reaction. Methanol contains 5,000 watt hour energy per liter."
The final prototype by MTI also includes water recycling that eliminates the need for a plumbing system to dispose of the water byproducts of the reaction. This makes the cells substantially smaller.
MTI Micro has not yet announced which cells it will release first. Its current prototypes include universal chargers, which offer a recharge on the go for cell phones and its SLR packs. It is also collaborating with Samsung on several products.
The first round of fuel cells will be more expensive than traditional batteries, with the same lifetime says the company, though later models will have better lifetimes. However, the key advantages will be improved safety and the ability to charge on the go, and to charge more quickly.

Advanced Cardiac Markers Testing in Franklin Lakes, NJ
Although you hear less about it, cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States, with one American dying every 40 seconds from this disease. Nearly half of all heart attack victims had no prior risk indicating an oncoming heart attack.
Proactive health practitioners will want to identify the likelihood of their patients having cardiovascular disease, and one way to do so is through advanced cardiac markers testing. You will also hear this referenced as cardiac biomarkers testing. Less expensive than cardiac imaging and non-invasive, this is the initial testing strategy for an accurate cardiac condition diagnosis.
What Is Advanced Cardiac Markers Testing?
Advanced cardiac markers testing refers to the blood tests healthcare providers give to their patients whom they suspect of heart disease. Any time your heart is damaged or stressed, biomarkers are released into your blood. These biomarkers help your healthcare provider diagnose acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cardiac ischemia. Both of these conditions mean your heart is receiving insufficient blood flow. The root causes of both are usually plaque buildup in your arterial walls, and hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis ).
There are six current advanced cardiac biomarker tests used to diagnose heart damage. They are as follows:
- Troponin: The most common test ordered, this chemical is elevated in the body within a few hours of heart damage, and remains elevated for up two weeks.
- High-sensitivity troponin: This version of the troponin test finds the same protein, but detects it at lower levels, making it able to discover accurate coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with no symptoms. This test is not approved in the U.S., but is used in Europe, Canada and other countries.
- Creatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB: While the troponin test has mostly replaced this test, it is occasionally used to determine if a second heart attack has occurred after the first heart attack .
- Myoglobin: While used less frequently in the U.S. this test is sometimes used in conjunction with the troponin biomarker test to determine the likelihood of a future heart attack .
- hs-CRP: For those who have suffered a heart attack in the past, this test may be used to determine the likelihood of another heart attack .
- BNP (or NT-proBNP): This test indicates heart failure, and the increased risk of a future heart attack .
In addition, your healthcare provider may recommend a cholesterol test to determine your risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). A cholesterol test will measure your total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides.
It is also common to receive advanced lipid testing. These tests can improve your healthcare provider's assessment of your CVD risk in order to recommend more therapeutic and preventative strategies. They will measure lipoproteins such as very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), LDL particle number (LDL-P), HDL particle number (HDL-P) and particle size. In combination with advanced lipid testing, inflammation testing which looks at specific inflammation markers such as myeloperoxidase (MPO), high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (LpPLA2), can help to better identify narrowing or blocked arteries due to plaque buildup.

Education at a Glance 2017
OECD Indicators
Education at a Glance: OECD Indicators is the authoritative source for information on the state of education around the world. With more than 125 charts and 145 tables included in the publication and much more data available on the educational database, Education at a Glance 2017 provides key information on the output of educational institutions; the impact of learning across countries; the financial and human resources invested in education; access, participation and progression in education; and the learning environment and organisation of schools.
The 2017 edition presents a new focus on fields of study, investigating both trends in enrolment at upper secondary and tertiary level, student mobility, and labour market outcomes of the qualifications obtained in these fields. The publication also introduces for the first time a full chapter dedicated to the Sustainable Development Goals, providing an assessment of where OECD and partner countries stand on their way to meeting the SDG targets. Finally, two new indicators are developed and analysed in the context of participation and progress in education: an indicator on the completion rate of upper secondary students and an indicator on admission processes to higher education.
The report covers all 35 OECD countries and a number of partner countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Lithuania, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia and South Africa).
The Excel™ spreadsheets used to create the tables and charts in Education at a Glance are available via the StatLinks provided throughout the publication.

Q: What is an offer?
A: An offer is usually made in the form of a written contract prepared by a sales associate representing a buyer. All offers for your property will generally first be presented to me, and I will then present them to you.
Q: How quickly must I act?
A: Usually time is of the essence in negotiating an offer. There are often strict deadlines, which must be met. I will stay in constant communication with you during the entire transaction process.
Q: Who knows about the terms of an offer for my property?
A: No one, except you, and myself, will know about the terms of an offer prior to your acceptance. You will be kept informed of any other buyer's interest in your property; and if more than one offer is submitted to me, all will be presented to you for your consideration.
When you receive an offer for your property, there are many decisions to make and details to consider. We will help you evaluate the quality of the offer, negotiate the terms and ensure a smooth transaction. Here are just a few of the many ways we will assist you through this important process:
Be at your side when the offer is presented.
Request information about the buyer's background, intentions and qualifications.
Ensure that the buyer is knowledgeable about available financing alternatives.
Thoroughly review the contract and ensure that you understand all the details.
Guide you through key stages of the process - contingencies, inspections, disclosures, escrow, buyer financing, and any unusual terms and costs.
Negotiate the sales price and terms that are most advantageous to you.
Provide you with information about recent market activity.
Provide you with specific information about local, state and federal requirements that affect the sale of property. These requirements may include state codes such as: Transfer Disclosure Statement, Smoke Detectors Compliance, Environmental Hazards Disclosure; and Federal requirements such as: The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) and Lead Paint Hazard Reduction Act.

With fireworks bans in place across parts of the Western U.S., it's going to be another Fourth of July calling for alternative celebratory activities. In Colorado, where I live, we've learned to accept this fact, and it doesn't stop the outdoor revelry.
Picnics and parades are standard July fourth fare, anyway, so if you happen to live in a place suffering from drought or plagued by wildfires, don't let the lack of fireworks get you down. Instead, find a spark-free way to celebrate our nation's birth (it also makes for a nice tribute to those victimized by said wildfires). Some suggestions:
Open flame isn't required for a successful barbecue; use a gas grill instead.
Gather a group for a moonlight hike (this is also a good idea with regard to personal and wildlife safety). Sunset city walks are also fun; end your stroll at a wine bar or brew pub.
Get on the water. Find your nearest reservoir, lake or river, and spend the holiday appreciating this precious resource.
Ride a bike. In Boulder, where I live, Awe-struck Outdoors offers activities like creekside rides that include a bike-to-farm dinner. Get inspired, and organize your own holiday ride.
