The Holy Bible – Old Testament
Judges Chapter 6
1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,
8 That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
10 And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
11 And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
16 And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
17 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.
18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
21 Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.
22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.
23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
25 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
26 And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
29 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.
31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
34 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.
35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
36 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39 And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

¶ˇĎăÔ°AV University acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. We are thankful to be welcomed on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered under the Williams Treaties and the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to a number of Indigenous nations and people.
We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we remember the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.
This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Winter Dangers for Pets
Winter is a time of cold weather festivals, holiday parties, and changing weather. For pets and pet owners, this season can bring its own unique set of challenges and hazards. Keeping your pet safe during this time of year will require some preparation and homework.
Family gatherings and get togethers can be a potential trial for pet owners. With so many strangers and so much food, many pets will take advantage of this situation to the fullest. Be sure to tell your party guests to avoid feeding the four-legged vacuum cleaner. Many of the traditional holiday foods can possibly be dangerous or even deadly to your pet. If your dog or cat will not behave, you may have to relegate them to their room for the duration of the festivity.
Holiday plants, such as mistletoe and holly, have been known to cause severe stomach upset to dogs and lilies of any sort are almost certainly deadly to cats. Artificial decorations pose their own threats. Glass ornaments can cut, electric cords can burn if chewed upon, and the traditional strands of tinsel often end up causing an obstruction in the belly of a cat.
Outside, the situation might actually worsen. A very common poisoning during the winter months is car antifreeze. Antifreeze has a very sweet taste and most dogs and cats will readily consume it. If you suspect your pet of drinking antifreeze, you must act immediately and contact your veterinarian or local animal emergency hospital.
The colder temperatures can be rough on older pets, especially those with arthritis. Bring outdoor pets inside.
Pets and people can enjoy the beauty that winter has to offer, but it always pays to be prepared.

How about saving money on your hydro bills? LA Custom Lawn LLC can help you achieve all of these goals and more by installing an irrigation system on your Benton property.
There are many advantages to having an underground irrigation system installed to keep your landscape beautiful. Our professionals have years of experience in planning and coordinating sprinklers to be cost effective and perfectly suited to your landscape.
An irrigation system can help you put away the hose and spend more time enjoying your yard. Having a beautiful property doesn't mean you should spend all your time maintaining it! Let us at LA Custom Lawn LLC help you to keep your Benton landscape the envy of the neighborhood with a custom irrigation system.
In addition to keeping your landscape looking its best all season, an underground sprinkler system will contribute to conserving precious fresh water.

Of course, using less water also means saving money. Your property is one of the biggest investments you will ever make, and LA Custom Lawn LLC can help keep it beautiful. Most of our Benton customers have seen a return on their investment in an underground irrigation system through the lowered cost in water usage.

Every driver ‒ and every passenger ‒ expects to reach their destination safely.
But picking up your phone to read or answer a text while you're behind the wheel puts everyone's safety in jeopardy.
At any point during the day, it's estimated that around 660,000 drivers are on their phones. In the U.S., texting and driving causes a quarter of all car accidents. And teen drivers are four times more likely than adults to have accidents or near-accidents when they're on their phones.
Want another eye-opener? You're six times more likely to cause an accident when you're texting behind the wheel than a drunk driver!
The silver lining? This is a habit that can easily be broken.
Here are eight tips that can help you ‒ or a driver you care about ‒ overcome the temptation once for all, while doing your part to keep the roadways a lot safer.
8 Tips to Stop Texting and Driving
- Remember: Silence is golden. Before you start the ignition, put your phone on silent mode and make sure it's not on vibrate. Another option: turn your phone off altogether. Both options will eliminate the temptation to check your screen every time it rings, pings, or buzzes.
- Hang up your "do not disturb" sign. Well, figuratively anyway. On most smartphones, you have the option to turn on some form of a do not disturb mode while you're driving. Do your research to find out how to enable this on your phone. There are even apps you can download to block texts while you're behind the wheel, including ones specifically geared toward teen drivers.
- Make it out of sight, out of mind. Rather than having your phone in your cup holder, your center console, or (cringe) your hand, put it in a spot where you can't see or reach it.
- Ask for help. If you have a passenger or two with you, ask them to keep an eye on your phone and handle any calls or messages you receive. If you're a passenger rather than a driver, volunteer for the job ‒ and call out the driver if they're being unsafe.
- Put it in park. If it's absolutely vital to respond to a message, find a place to safely pull over, then park and answer.
- Model safe behavior. Talk to your kids about the dangers of texting and driving, explain the ways they can avoid it, then put your money where your mouth is.
- Set and enforce rules. If you have a teen driver in the house, make your expectations clear about how they're allowed to use their phone in the vehicle and be very specific about what will happen if they break those rules. If you catch your teen doing it, enforce those consequences ‒ every time.
- Enroll in our new YourTurn® program.1 Need an extra incentive? Our driving safety app, YourTurn, is available to ERIE customers. The app measures criteria such as speeding, hard braking, and phone usage – and you can earn rewards based on your driving score (up to $5 or $10 every two weeks)2. This helps to make drivers of all ages more aware of their driving behaviors and identifies areas for improvement.
It's Your Turn to Make Safe Driving a Priority
ERIE's YourTurn program is a new way we're looking out for you and helping you stay safe on the road. Contact your local ERIE agent today to learn more or to sign up for the YourTurn program.3 If you choose to join the program, you'll receive a YourTurn welcome text and instructions for getting started.
YourTurn is currently not available in the District of Columbia, Kentucky, North Carolina, or New York.
1YourTurn not available in all states. As of 03/2021, the program is available to policyholders in IL, IN, MD, OH, PA, TN, VA, WI, and WV.
2Ages 16-23 can earn rewards up to $10 every two weeks, ages 24+ can earn rewards up to $5 every two weeks. Rewards are based on the participating driver's score during the scoring period while driving 50 tracked miles. Indiana participants can earn up to $5 every two weeks. Rewards are distributed through the YourTurn app via electronic gift cards.
3The YourTurn app requires participants to be licensed drivers on the ERIE auto policy and have a valid email address, smartphone number, and data plan to download and activate the YourTurn app. Users must agree to the Terms and Conditions of the YourTurn® app.
A better insurance experience starts with ERIE.
Haven't heard of us? Erie Insurance started with humble beginnings in 1925 with a mission to emphasize customer service above all else. Though we've grown to reach the Fortune 500 list, we still haven't lost the human touch.

DALLAS (AP) — After two separate and serious battery problems aboard Boeing 787s, it wasn't U.S. authorities who acted first to ground the plane. It was Japanese airlines.
The unfolding saga of Boeing's highest-profile plane has raised new questions about federal oversight of aircraft makers and airlines.
Some aviation experts question the ability of the Federal Aviation Administration to keep up with changes in the way planes are being made today — both the technological advances and the use of multiple suppliers from around the globe. Others question whether regulators are too cozy with aircraft manufacturers.
Even as they announced a broad review of the 787 earlier this month, top U.S. transportation regulators stood side-by-side with a Boeing executive and declared the plane safe — saying that they would gladly fly in one. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood repeated his endorsement Wednesday.
A few hours later, the FAA issued an emergency order grounding the planes.
Despite their concerns, many safety experts still believe that the current regulatory process works — the 787s were grounded before any accidents occurred.
The Dreamliner is the first airliner whose structure is made mostly from composite materials rather than aluminum. The plane relies more than previous airliners on electrical systems rather than hydraulic or mechanical ones, and it's the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium-ion batteries to power cabin-pressurization and other key functions.
Such technological advances may force the FAA to re-examine the way it does its job.
"We've gone from aviation to aerospace products that are much more complex," said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst with the Teal Group. "The FAA is equipped for aviation. Aerospace is another matter."
Former National Transportation Safety Board member Kitty Higgins said the FAA must consider whether changes in its certification process would have turned up the problems in the Dreamliner battery systems.
"They need to make sure the certification process stays current with the industry and the new technology," she said.
An FAA spokeswoman declined to comment for this article, referring instead to statements made during a news conference last week. Officials said then that the review of the 787 wouldn't be limited to the Dreamliner's batteries. FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said that the agency would "make sure that the approved quality control procedures are in place and that all of the necessary oversight is done."
The FAA has said that its technical experts logged 200,000 hours testing and reviewing the plane's design before certifying the plane in August 2011. Boeing defended the process and the plane.
"We are confident in the regulatory process that has been applied to the 787 since its design inception," said Boeing Co. spokesman Marc Birtel. "With this airplane, the FAA conducted its most robust certification process ever."
A week ago, FAA's Huerta and Transportation Secretary LaHood endorsed the Dreamliner's safety even as they ordered a new review of its design and construction following a fire in a lithium-ion battery on a 787 that had landed in Boston. Then, this past Wednesday, after a battery malfunction on a second plane resulted in an emergency landing, they grounded Dreamliner flights in the U.S.
In certifying new planes, the FAA relies heavily on information from the manufacturers. That system has worked — the U.S. commercial airline fleet is safer than ever — but it is coming under renewed scrutiny after the 787 incidents.
Experts say that FAA officials have no choice but to rely on information from aircraft manufacturers as key systems of the plane are designed and built.
"As a practical matter, they can't do the testing," said longtime aviation consultant Daniel Kasper of Compass Lexecon. "They don't have the expertise in aircraft design, and they don't have the budget — it would be too costly. They would have to be involved in every step."
Thomas Anthony, director of the aviation-safety program at the University of Southern California, said many new planes have flaws that are only discovered once they go into service, and that the regulatory process worked the way it was supposed to with the Dreamliner.
"The FAA used to be accused of 'blood priority'" — acting only after a disaster, Anthony said. "In this case, it's not true. The regulators are taking their job seriously. There were no accidents, there were no injuries, there were no fatalities."
That has not always been the case. In 1979, authorities grounded the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 for five weeks after an engine tore loose from the wing of an American Airlines plane, causing a crash that killed 273 in Chicago. And there were other incidents that occurred after the DC-10 was introduced in 1971, including cargo-door problems that forced one emergency landing and caused a Turkish Airlines crash that killed 346 in 1974.
Boeing, based in Chicago, is racing to find a fix to the Dreamliner's battery systems and get the planes back in the air. It is still producing 787s but has stopped delivering them to customers.
Bloomberg News reported that Boeing has tried to persuade FAA to end the groundings by proposing a variety of inspections and having pilots monitor electronic signals from the batteries to prevent fires. The FAA has been reluctant to approve those steps without a clear idea of what caused the defects and how they can be prevented.

With a new bird flu in China, it's easy to forget that there's another worrisome virus emerging in the Middle East.
Today we got a rude reminder of its presence.
Five more people have died from a new SARS-like virus on the Arabian Peninsula, the World Health Organization said Thursday. Two others are being treated in intensive care.
That brings the total cases to 24, including 16 deaths.
Since the virus first appeared in April 2012, it has been detected in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and the U.K.
There's very little information about the seven new cases, except that they were all reported at the same hospital in Al-Hasa — a region on the eastern edge of Saudi Arabia, bordering the Persian Gulf.
"We have not found any cases anywhere else in the eastern region," Dr. Ziad Memish, from the Saudi Ministry of Health, told The National.
The virus — known as nCoV — is a cousin of SARS, which killed more than 750 people in 2003. Like SARS, nCoV causes severe pneumonia, but it doesn't spread easily between people.
In February, two family members in Britain caught the virus from a relative who had been traveling through Saudi Arabia. But otherwise, there has been little evidence of person-to-person transmission.
Genetic sequencing shows that nCoV is most closely related to a bat virus. But health workers still don't know where the virus comes from.
"That's the million-dollar question," virologist Alison Bermingham of the U.K. Health Protection Agency told Shots a few weeks ago. "We don't really know how any of these patients have caught the virus, except for the two families in the U.K.," Bermingham said, referring to the first 17 cases.
"We don't have a good handle on what's happening on the Arabian Peninsula or elsewhere," she added. "But we're hopeful that authorities there are actively investigating their severe respiratory illnesses."
"Viruses are one of those things that pop up every now and then. You just don't know when they're going to cause human infections," she said.

Infected tattoo outbreak traced to ink
(AP) ATLANTA - An outbreak of infected tattoos has led to an unlikely source: the ink.
With the growing popularity of tattoos, health officials say they are seeing more cases of a nasty skin infection caused by a common bacteria traced to the ink. In the largest outbreak, 19 people in Rochester, N.Y., ended up with bubbly rashes on their new tattoos, researchers reported Wednesday.
Infections from tattooing are nothing new. Hepatitis, staph infections and even the superbug known as MRSA have been tied to tattoos. Dirty needles and unsanitary conditions are often to blame.
But all the New York cases were linked to an unidentified artist who wore disposable gloves and sterilized his instruments. The problem, investigators concluded, was in the ink.
"Even if you get a tattoo from a facility that does everything right, it's not risk free," said Dr. Byron Kennedy, deputy director of the health department in New York's Monroe County. He is lead author of a report on last fall's Rochester cases was released by the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday.
In the past year, there have been 22 confirmed cases and more than 30 suspected cases of the skin infection in Colorado, Iowa, New York and Washington state, health officials said. The infections were tied to ink or water used to dilute the ink. Tattoo artists and ink makers should use only sterile water to dilute ink, health officials advise.
Scattered reports of the illness in tattoo customers have been reported over the past 10 years. But they may be growing more common as more people get tattoos, experts said. An estimated 1 in 5 U.S. adults have at least one tattoo, an increase from years past, according to polls.
The illnesses were caused by a bacterial cousin of tuberculosis named Mycobacterium chelonae (pronounced chell-OH-nay). The bacteria can cause itchy and painful pus-filled blisters that can take months to clear up, and involve treatment with harsh antibiotics with unpleasant side effects.
The bacteria are common in tap water, and have been seen in the past when tattoo artists used contaminated water to lighten dark ink. The ink used in New York was "gray wash," used for shaded areas of tattoos. The ink was recalled and has not returned to the market.
Companies that make gray wash sometimes use distilled water to lighten the ink, thinking it's clean of infection-causing contaminants. But the bacteria can live in that too, said Tara MacCannell, who led a related investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Her study appears in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report released Wednesday.
Some ink manufacturers add witch hazel or an alcohol preservative to lower risk of certain viruses, but those additives don't kill off the hardy chelonae bacteria, she added.
Investigators found the bacteria in opened and unopened bottles of ink at the New York tattoo parlor. They did not find it in water at the shop, MacCannell said.
Health officials say tattoo customers should ask what kind of ink is being used and what measures are in place to prevent infections.

Don't Forget to Budget for Closing Costs
When buying a home, it's important to have a budget and make sure you plan ahead for certain homebuying expenses. Saving for a down payment is the main cost that comes to mind for many, but budgeting for the closing costs required to get a mortgage is just as important.
What Are Closing Costs?
According to Trulia:
"When you close on a home, a number of fees are due. They typically range from 2% to 5% of the total cost of the home, and can include title insurance, origination fees, underwriting fees, document preparation fees, and more."
For example, for someone buying a $300,000 home, they could potentially have between $6,000 and $15,000 in closing fees. If you're in the market for a home above this price range, your closing costs could be greater. As mentioned above, closing costs are typically between 2% and 5% of your purchase price.
Trulia gives more great advice, explaining:
"There will be lots of paperwork in front of you on closing day, and not enough time to read them all. Work closely with your real estate agent, lender, and attorney, if you have one, to get all the documents you need ahead of time.
The most important thing to read is the closing disclosure, which shows your loan terms, final closing costs, and any outstanding fees. You'll get this form about three days before closing since, once you (the borrower) sign it, there's a three-day waiting period before you can sign the mortgage loan docs. If you have any questions about the numbers or what any of the mortgage terms mean, this is the time to ask—your real estate agent is a great resource for getting you all the answers you need."
Bottom Line
As home prices are rising and more buyers are finding themselves competing in bidding wars, it's more important than ever to make sure your plan includes budgeting for closing costs. Let's connect to be sure you have everything you need to land your dream home.

Before you head out to stock up on fireworks this weekend, here's a handy tip from the folks over at Lamebook:
(Also: ow.)
What I meant was, when it comes to fireworks, you really want the most bang for your buck:
So always look for the cartoon steam whistle shouting, "Bang!"
Even if they are patriotically
No, trust me, you don't want sprinkles.
I see...slushies.
Oh my gosh! They killed Blinky!
(That's the red ghost from Pac-Man, kids. Now stop making me feel old.)
Important rocket safety tip:
The flamey bits should always come out the back.
Happy Bloody Band Aid day!
In a firework-y way, I mean.
Not a penis-ishy way.
NEW GOAL: Work the word "penis-ishy" into as many conversation today as possible. Starting...NOW.

Isaac Newton was just 23 years old when, while on a brief hiatus from Cambridge University, he developed his theory of gravitation. "For in those days I was in my prime of age for invention, and minded mathematics and philosophy more than at any time since," he later wrote in a letter to a fellow scholar.
Similarly, at age 26, Einstein published the paper on the photoelectric effect that would win him a Nobel Prize 16 years later in 1921. Marie Curie was around 30 when she, along with her husband Pierre, discovered the radioactive elements radium and polonium.
But according to economists Benjamin Jones and Bruce Weinberg, young scientists making groundbreaking contributions to their fields are becoming an endangered breed. In a study published yesterday (November 7) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they reported that the chances...
Their analysis of 525 Nobel Prize winners (182 in physics, 153 in chemistry, and 190 in medicine) between 1900 and 2008, revealed that while the mean age at which they did their Nobel-prize winning work was around 37 for the three fields in the early 20th century, they are now around 50, 46, and 45 for Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine, respectively. The Scientist spoke to Weinberg, a microeconomist at Ohio State University, and Jones, a macroeconomist at the The Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, about the trends in age and creativity in science, and what they may mean for the future of science research.
The Scientist: As economists, why are you interested in when scientists are making their biggest contributions to their fields?
Benjamin Jones: In an advanced economy like the United States, technological and scientific progress is a primary driver of economic growth and prosperity. Therefore, studying how innovation happens is critical to understanding economic outcomes. One of the puzzles that has been in my mind and in a lot of other economists' minds for some time is that we put more and more effort into research and development—more people, more dollars—but the growth rate of the US economy remains fairly consistent over time; it doesn't rise despite the fact we try harder and harder. The implication of that is that the contributions of individual researchers to the overall economy seem to be declining with time.
Bruce Weinberg: What we find is that there are substantial shifts over time within the fields in terms of both the prevalence of theoretical contributions and the amount of knowledge and the amount of time that it takes to get to the research frontier in fields. Those relationships then map on to and are reflected in the ages in which people are doing their more important work. As the amount of knowledge in a field accumulates—[for] which we have one direct measure based on backward citations in articles, and one indirect measure based on when people receive their highest degrees—the great contributions come at later ages.
TS: What pattern did you observe concerning age and creativity in science throughout the 20th century?
BW: In chemistry there's a shift to older ages over the course of the 20th century. In medicine you see a decline in the frequency of very early contributions. So people aren't really making Nobel contributions before age 30 in medicine anymore, whereas they did earlier in the 20th century.
BJ: But what's really interesting is that in physics, during the early 20th century it's going the other way very strongly. Suddenly there's a big burst of work by young people in the 1920s and 1930s, and this is associated with the quantum mechanics revolution, which was a time when people realized, because of a small number of empirical irregularities, that classical physics didn't seem to be explaining what was going on at a very micro level. So it was kind of open season. But as quantum mechanics becomes more established as a very powerful and effective theory for explaining empirical facts, you start to see…a shift toward experimental work again, and that's associated with older scholars relative to younger scholars making great contributions. Interestingly we, we don't see the same type of dynamics [for chemistry and medicine]. We see a smoother decline in very young scholarship, for example, which suggests a smoother increase in foundational knowledge and with that perhaps a smoother shift toward more experimental work.
TS: Some studies suggest that creativity declines with age and may peak before middle age. How does that finding fit with this trend?
BW: There are different ways of making important contributions. One is more abstract and theoretical and the other is more empirical and experimental, which is based more on the accumulation of knowledge. It is the case that the theorists on average do their best work earlier in their careers than the empiricists and experimenters. The people who are making these important contributions later in their lives are really making those contributions using a different approach than the people who are making radical early career contributions.
BJ: If people are naturally very productive in their 20s, either because there is some innate physiological advantage or because they are just very energetic and have strong incentive, but instead they're saddled with having to learn all this accumulated knowledge, that does suggest that we are taking a chunk out of people's innovative capabilities at a time in their lives when those capabilities are potentially very high. That suggests there's a really strong opportunity cost. That doesn't mean that's an easy problem to solve because it is necessary for these scholars to become experts before they can really make a big contribution. It's also the case that there's more to know and you just can't know everything. One implication is that people become much narrower experts. That also makes people's creativity a bit narrower.
BW: In a more policy context, there is extreme angst at, for instance, the National Institutes of Health, over the fact that they're funding an increasingly aging pool of researchers. That's something that has caused a lot of concern. There are a variety of reasons why you would want more support going to young investigators. The young investigators may simply drift away from science to industry or to other endeavors if they simply can't get funding earlier in their careers. But in so far as we're finding that… at least in some of these fields, people are increasingly making important contributions later in their lives, it does suggest that some of the concern may be overstated.
TS: What do these trends mean for the future of science?
BJ: We do see that contributions per researcher to the overall economy seems to be declining with time. If these trends continue, it is alarming, because [researchers] are less productive overall. The way we go about that traditionally is we throw more and more people at the problem. So it's okay in a sense if there are less contributions per person if you can throw more minds at it. One of the interesting questions is, as these trends continue, can we keep throwing more and more resources, people, and dollars of the society at this problem? If we ultimately can't do that then we need to think of other ways to make the research process more efficient.

Two new studies have been published that examine the role of diet or exercise in headaches.
The first1 was a survey given to 112 migraine sufferers. The researchers found that 70% of migraine patients felt that diet played a role in their headaches, and the most common triggers of a headache attack were, 1) chocolate, 2) skipping a meal, and 3) alcohol.
The second study2 examined the role of aerobic exercise in tension-type headaches in seven women. The women maintained a daily headache and medication diary for two weeks pre- and post-intervention, as well as during a six-week aerobic exercise regimen. This class consisted of "10 to 15 minutes stationary and moving warm-up and stretches; 20 to 30 minutes of low-impact cardiovascular training, and 10 to 15 minutes of cool-down and stretching exercises." The women attended the class three times a week.
Headache levels did not change for the women. However, there were significant reductions in medication usage, depression, and anxiety. "...clients may turn to exercise in lieu of analgesic medications to manage their headache pain. With respect to decreased anxiety and depression levels, it is possible that engaging in aerobic exercise may improve mood which may alleviate some of the distress caused by chronic headache, and thus improve the quality of these patients' lives."

Dolores and Her Baby Girl, About One Hour Old (previously posted photos here)
She's gone.
At first I thought she'd just caught a chill and then had become weak from not nursing for a couple of hours, but there was something else wrong. Something not working right in her complicated and miraculous little newborn system.
We thought Dolores had miscarried last winter because we found a large patch of blood in the snow by the barn and blood on her legs, and we were thrilled when she became so big it was obvious she was pregnant. But she could have been carrying twins and lost one. Twins in equines are almost never a good thing. The remaining fetus would have been weakend, and possibly harmed by residues that weren't flushed out during the miscarriage.
I saw Dolores pawing at her newborn baby, urging her to stand up. I've seen ewes do this before to their lambs. She meant well—and there was nothing I could do to stop her—but Dolores probably weighs 800 pounds. At one point, she put enough weight on the baby's side that I heard an audible expulsion of air. That can't have been good.
Or it could have been something else entirely.
Monday afternoon, in desperation, I tossed a bucket of treats onto the grass to distract Dolores (who is fiercely protective and could easily kill me with a single swift kick), hoisted up the baby, and carried her across the front field and up to the barn.
I then proceeded to do everything I could to save her. We spent the last five hours on the beat up old hardwood floor in the living room, next the the blazing woodstove, with Robin, Mr. Midnight, and Molly Doodlebug rallying nearby. Actually, Mr. Midnight, as cats are wont to do, kept trying to climb onto her soft, toasty body, but he finally settled for curling up on the other half of the pillow tucked under my butt.
When it became clear that nothing I could do was going to keep her from dying, I refused to simply abandon her. I wanted her to know she wasn't alone, and that during her short time here she was loved. I rested her head on my outsretched leg, folded my other leg protectively over her body, and proceeded to rub my hands gently across that oh-so-soft fur until she drifted into sleep and eventually took her last breath.
Her heart continued to beat. And then I felt mine break.
I'm no stranger to death here on the farm, and losing an animal is never easy, but losing this little donkey hurt more than most.
While we were sitting there together on the living room floor, I named her Flitta, because she flitted in and out of our lives. And also because it sounds sort of like an abbrieviation for The Flame Trees of Thika, a beloved book I've read numerous times.
I choose to live on this farm in the middle of nowhere, thousands of miles from where I grew up. I choose to surround myself with dozens of animals who depend on me and often become very close to my heart. The high points soar straight to the heavens. The low ones can reach down to the depths of your soul.
It's been a rough several days. Our sweet Zelda became ill on Friday and died on Saturday afternoon. Not long after we'd started naming all our new animals alphabetically according to the year they were born or arrived on the farm (last year were the 'E' names, this year are the 'F' names), I pointed to a ewe and said to Joe, "This pre-alphabet sheep needs a name."
"I doubt we'll make it to the 'Z' names," he said, "and if we do, she'll already be dead by then." It suited her perfectly. Zelda's death was unexpected, but at seven years old it was understandable. Chip and Chip, at 13, are considered pretty ancient by sheep standards.
About 3 Hours Old
Then of course came Flitta. Today is the first time it hasn't been raining or drizzling since Sunday. Joe has been out of town during all this, so I've been dealing with everything on my own.
Before Donkey Doodle Dandy unexpectedly came into our lives several years ago, I'd never had any experience with donkeys—let alone pictured myself owning one. Now we have a herd of six, and I can't imagine not being surrounded by these intelligent, entertaining, and very companionable animals.
My muscles ache, my heart is broken, and my darling little donkey girl is gone. Tears are streaming down my face as I type this, and I still wake up with a heavy thud of sadness. But despite the tragic ending, I'm still very grateful I was there for her beginning. That precious, amazing experience can never be taken away.

Oprah Winfrey could have ended her interview with Lance Armstrong after four minutes or so, probably. At the beginning of her television event on Jan. 17, aired on her network, OWN, Armstrong swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and answered Oprah's yes-or-no questions, one by one.
"Did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance?"
"Was one of those banned substances EPO?"
"Did you ever blood-dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance?
"Did you ever use any other banned substances like testosterone, cortisone or human growth hormone?"
"In all seven of your Tour de France victories, did you ever take banned substances or blood dope?"
His responses: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Turn off the cameras. Shut it down. Because after all the lying, all the attacks and lawsuits against people who were telling the truth — Armstrong later agreed he was a "bully" — how can you truly believe anything he says from this point forward? "I've got no cred," Armstrong later told Oprah.
Well, Armstrong's requisite self-flagellation was true. Armstrong called himself a "jerk" and an "arrogant prick." Tough to argue against that. But what's Armstrong's true motivation here? Does he sincerely feel sorry for what he's done? Or is all this an exercise in image rehab, an effort to replenish his bank account? Armstrong didn't break down in tears during his talk, and he gave fairly clinical responses. It's just hard to read a man's heart when he's been so heartless.
(MORE: Lance Armstrong's Confession and the Psychology of the Competitor)
Armstrong also denied that he doped during the 2009 and 2010 tours, when he made his comeback, even though a damning U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report said he did. Armstrong refuted a claim from one of his former teammates, Christian Vande Velde, that he threatened to kick Vande Velde off the team if he didn't dope. He said that a donation to cycling's world governing body, the International Cycling Union (UCI), wasn't a payoff to cover up a positive drug test.
That's all impossible to take at face value.
Armstrong did answer no to one of Winfrey's opening questions: Did he think it was humanly possibly to win the Tour de France without doping? That was a predictable out: I just got caught up in cycling's culture of doping. Armstrong later said that while he was winning his Tours, doping did not feel wrong. "Scary," he admitted. Did you feel bad about it? Winfrey asked. "No," Armstrong responded. "Even scarier."
(MORE: Can It Get Any Worse for Lance Armstrong?)
Armstrong said he did not even feel as if he was cheating. "Scariest," he said. While the "drug cheat" label flew at Armstrong during his cycling career, he told Winfrey he would turn to the dictionary. "The definition of cheat is to gain an advantage on a rival or foe," Armstrong says. "I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as a level playing field."
During the discussion, Armstrong traced the psychological roots of his charade back to his battle with cancer. Before his diagnosis, Armstrong said, he was a competitor but not a fierce competitor. "In an odd way, that process [fighting testicular cancer] turned me into a person [who] was truly win-at-all-costs," Armstrong said. "When I was diagnosed and I was treated, I said I would do anything I had to do to survive. And that's good. And I took that, that attitude, that ruthless and relentless and win-at-all-costs attitude, and I took it right into cycling … and that's bad."
(VIDEO: 10 Questions for Lance Armstrong)
Armstrong had a few uncomfortable, if not maddening, moments during the interview. He denied USADA's conclusion that he and his U.S. Postal Service team "ran the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen," saying that it could not have been "bigger" than the "East German doping program of the '70s and '80s." Huh? So he's been studying East Germany? And even if it wasn't as organized as East Germany's — and who can prove that? — would that make Armstrong's tactics any better?
(MORE: Why Lance Armstrong Is Finally Coming Clean)
He said the doping regimen was "very simple." Armstrong's "cocktail," he told Winfrey, was "only EPO — but not a lot — transfusions and testosterone." Sure, just a little combo of EPO, transfusions and testosterone. Like taking vitamins.
Armstrong refused to address the testimony of Betsy Andreu, the wife of ex-Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, who said that while Armstrong was being treated for cancer, she heard him tell doctors that he had used performance-enhancing drugs. Armstrong has attacked Andreu for years. "I did call her crazy," Armstrong said, while smiling and even laughing a bit. Armstrong may have been laughing at the absurdity of his behavior — I need to chuckle at my stupidity to keep from crying. But again, why assume any innocence in Armstrong? No matter what, it was a weird time to smile.
Oprah's interview continues Jan. 18. Armstrong will address losing his sponsorship, disappointing Livestrong supporters and other topics. (Expect a ratings drop.) I would still like to hear more direct questions about Armstrong's financial motivations. Forget about the need to compete and always win; how much did your rock-star lifestyle fuel the lies? And does Armstrong concur that his cancer-awareness work, though laudable, also enriched him personally, as it raised his profile and compelled companies to toss money at him for speaking engagements, endorsements, etc.?
(VIEWPOINT: Why Lance Armstrong Couldn't Stop Himself)
If Armstrong had never returned to cycling and raced in the 2009 and 2010 tours, he doesn't think he would have been caught. "We wouldn't be sitting here if I didn't come back," Armstrong says. In 2010 Floyd Landis — who Armstrong claims wanted a spot on his racing team but wasn't offered one — accused Armstrong of using performance-enhancing drugs. The Department of Justice then opened up an investigation, and although the Feds dropped the case in February of last year, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency continued probing.
Toward the end of the interview, Armstrong seemed to express some sincere regret about fighting USADA's investigation and suing the organization. "Oprah, I'd do anything, I'd do anything, to go back to that day," Armstrong says. (If only Armstrong had shown such spirited remorse for bullying targets like Andreu, former masseuse Emma O'Reilly and British journalist David Walsh). "I wouldn't fight. I wouldn't sue them. I'd listen." Armstrong says he wishes he had come clean a little earlier, a move that could have given him a shred of extra credibility with sponsors, his foundation and his fans.
That's fairly easy to believe. I think.

The dish originated from fishermen in the Neapolitan area, who would sauté their catch in seawater together with tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil. In Italy you would ideally find fish like Pezzogna (red sea bream), or Branzino (European Sea Bass), but, here in my neck of Canadian woods the closest thing available might be red snapper, but it is not native here. So I opted for a chunk of halibut.
So there it is. Pesce All'Aqua Pazza. My version is based on a recipe by New Yorks Scotto family and is quicker and easy to prepare on any weekday. It's crazy delicious! Serve with a nice chilled Pino Grigio or your favorite Sauvignon Blanc. May the fishes bring good wishes. Felice anno nuovo!! I hope that 2013 is rich in experiences, filled with love and happiness and of course great food I see every day on your blogs. Have a safe and happy New Year. Keep smiling it is contagious.
2 lbs halibut fillets, skin removed
1 small bulb fennel, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon chopped Calabrese chilies (or red pepper flakes)
1 bulb spring onions (or shallot)
1/4 cup high quality virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup high quality dry white wine
1/4 cup prepared tomato sauce
1/2 pint grape tomatoes or mixed heirloom cherry tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
4 parsley sprigs, whole and washed
1 sprig marjoram
Ciabatta bread for mopping, toasted and rubbed with garlic
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large stainless steel sauté pan with fitted lid, heat ¼ cup olive oil until smoking. Add fennel, garlic, chilies and onions; briefly sauté for 1 minute. Meanwhile, measure the thickness of the halibut fillets. They will cook for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness. To the pan add the fish fillets. Add white wine, tomato sauce, grape tomatoes, parsley and marjoram and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover with lid and place entire pan in preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes. To check fish for doneness, remove pan from oven and remove lid. To test the fish for doneness, make a small slit with a paring knife in the thickest part of the fillet: all but the very center of each piece should be opaque. Place fish fillets individually in shallow bowls. Spoon cooking juices and vegetables over fish fillets. Serve with bread for mopping up juices.

Free Fight
"I wanna do well in the sport so when he grows up he's got something to
be proud of, something to show off to his friends about. That'd be a
nice feeling for me." - Benny Alloway
Ben Alloway, who fights Ryan LaFlare April 6 on UFC on FUEL TV 9, has had an unusually quick journey to the Octagon. Not so long ago, he was working in hospitality and playing soccer locally without any serious aspirations of becoming a full-time athlete. The Gold Coast, Australia local simply began jiu-jitsu as a way to get fit after an injury.
"Not really (did I aspire to be an athlete)," he said. "I did play pro soccer (locally), I got injured, and that's how I got into MMA. I was actually going to try and get back into the Australian circuit, but fell into MMA and two and a bit years later here we are."
Alloway, a contestant on 2012's The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes, credits intensive training for his rapid rise.
"Which Aussie boy doesn't like to fight? I guess I was just in a position to train full-time doing two sessions a day, so I fast-tracked it a bit that way. Then I had the opportunity to go overseas and train at the H.I.T. squad, and that's where I decided I wanted to have a crack at making the UFC."
Alloway has said goodbye to his job as a nightclub manager, and he's glad to be leaving the life of excess behind.
"The party scene wasn't too good for my health. I had a lot of fun while I was in it, but MMA sort of brought me out of that industry, which is a good thing in the long run."
On The Ultimate Fighter, Alloway impressed in his first fight with a second round knockout over Valentino Petrescu. But his next bout was a grueling decision loss to eventual finalist Bradley Scott. Alloway appeared distraught post-fight, and admits he thought his UFC run was over.
But he was given another chance with a fight on the season finale card last December against fellow Australian Manuel Rodriguez. "Benny Blanco" scored a first round KO victory, landing an Anderson Silva-esque front kick to the jaw.
"After I lost to Brad I thought that the ride was over. I didn't think I'd get that fight on the finale, but getting that chance against Manny, you know they say the sport has ultimate highs and ultimate lows, so I was low for a few weeks on the show when I lost, then when I got the contract to fight in December last year it was another high. So I just had to try and take my chances and secure that contract."
The 31-year-old Alloway believes he's ready for LaFlare, a Long Island native with a 7-0 record in MMA.
"I see him as a well-rounded fighter with wrestling probably being his strength. But I don't see him having anything that I haven't seen or been up against before."
LaFlare has not fought much in recent years, so there has been scant footage to study. But Alloway, 13-4 in MMA, is confident in his preparation.
"I've got a hold of what I could; he's only had seven odd fights in four or five years. I got his latest fight from January, but again, he hasn't fought for two years so there's not a lot to go on or a lot of recent stuff. But I think we've prepared pretty well for him."
Late last year a new motivation entered Alloway's life with the birth of his son Chael. And yes, he is named after outspoken UFC contender Chael Sonnen.
"Yeah, he is actually (named after Chael Sonnen), the wife and I were watching Sonnen vs Silva 2, Sonnen got announced and walked out and I said what about Chael? That's a cool name and she didn't realize what I was talking about. Then she went with it asked me a couple of weeks later where I got it from."
Not surprisingly, Alloway counts himself as a fan of the controversial fighter.
"I like who he is, and what he does; I enjoy it. He walks the walk and talks the talk."
For Alloway, the birth of Chael provides twofold motivation.
"I wanna do well in the sport so when he grows up he's got something to be proud of, something to show off to his friends about. That'd be a nice feeling for me. Having said that, providing for him is motivation, and having another mouth in the house, if he eats as much as me when he gets older we're gonna be in trouble."

Creamy Winter Squash Soup
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Butternut squash and pumpkin have started to appear in our farmer's markets. I'm delighted. I've been waiting for their arrival so that I could try a recipe I found earlier this summer. I'd been looking for a soup to replace the corn chowder I normally serve with our Thanksgiving meal and I had the good fortune to stumble on this recipe develop by Ed Chamberlain. The use of cardamom and allspice leads me to believe the soup has Scandinavian origins. It's delicious, simple to make and freezes well. The next time I make it I plan to use acorn squash. The butternut squash is delicious but I want more depth of color than it provides. You'll need about 3 pounds of squash to make this soup. I simmer it in stock, but it could also be baked and pureed before adding it to the soup pot. While I used fresh pumpkin, it was overkill and unnecessary work. Canned pumpkin can be substituted. As a matter of fact, frozen squash could also be used. I finished the soup with heavy cream but whole milk or light cream would also work for those who prefer their soup on the lighter side. There is, however, no substitute for the cardamom.
Creamy Winter Squash Soup...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 medium (1-1/2 pounds each) butternut squash
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups canned or fresh pumpkin puree
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups heavy cream, light cream or whole milk
Optional Garnish:
Creme fraiche
1) Peel the squash; cut into chunks. Place in a soup pot. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer squash and some chicken broth to bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth.
2) Return squash puree to soup pot. Add pumpkin puree, honey, ginger, cardamom, allspice, salt and pepper. Heat, stirring until smooth and heated through. Add heavy cream and stir until blended. If desired, garnish soup with creme fraiche and croutons. Yield: 8 servings.

- Mary | Deep South Dish said...
It sounds and looks lovely, though I have to confess... I have just never been able to find a taste for butternut squash soup. I don't know why except that my favorite soups lean more toward the savory and butternut soups always have that sweet factor to them. I'm the same way with cold summer soups too - I expect my soup to be hot.
I know I must change my mindset! Perhaps I'll give this one a try since you recommend it. It takes awhile for butternut to show up down here, but I do have some puree in the freezer. - August 31, 2009 at 12:13 PM
