Homestuck Classes & Aspects
EDIT: Changed the positions of Knight and Heir due to the newest updates 01/10/12
For my own edification:
+Page -Lord
+Bard -Prince (Destroy)
-Heir (Exploit)
+Seer -Mage (Understand)
+Rogue -Thief (Take)
+Sylph -Witch
Bold are my guesses on +/-, based on various things that was said in canon.
Strikethrough is because gender specification of Page, Heir, Maid, Sylph and Witch are all guesses as well, so Mage and Knight have no strikethrough because we know they are ⚥. Also, I would guess it has nothing to do with physical sex because of Calliope and Caliborn.
The guesses are just stuff I randomly thought of because of the gaps left over from what we know about the other classes. Witches and Sylphs, beyond the connection that Kanaya mentioned, are put together as ♀ just because they both have a skirt. Out of the three others with unknown gender specifications, maid is the only one that is feminine (definitely more so than Page or Heir) which is why I made it the counterpart to Muse. The post by lildurandal that I linked to below is what made me decide to put Mage as counterpart of Seer. Which leaves Page, Heir and Knight; either Page or Heir is ♂ to go with Lord while the other is ⚥ to go with Knight. Since Page is more masculine than Heir, I made it the counterpart to Lord, which leaves Heir as the counterpart to Knight. Obviously these guesses are dependent on there being no other classes besides these 14, while Hussie has always answered MAYBE to this question.
We know that there are just as many exclusively female as exclusively male. And it is my guess that the most active class is Maid as it lines up with Muse being the most passive; and the two most passive classes will have to be Bard and Page according to what I laid out here, it would also line up Page with Lord which is the most active. Going off of that, the next most active is likely Prince, and then Witch, Heir, Thief, and lastly Mage which might not be very active. On the other side of the scale, after Bard and Page is probably Sylph, Rogue, Knight, and then Seer which isn't very passive.
Since active classes act on the self while passive classes act on others, then canonically: Princes themselves destroy and Bards gets others to/lets others destroy, Thieves take for themselves and Rogues take for others, Seers has understanding for the group, and Knights exploit for (I'm guessing) others' sake. Building on this, Heir would then exploit for their own sake, which works with the newest updates.
Interestingly enough, if my guesses are correct then there are an equal number of active and passive players in all five sessions we know of so far. Also there are an equal number of male vs. female active and passive players in all troll and human sessions except pre-scratch trolls, where four of the passive players are male and four of the active players are female.
Bards are ♂, passive, destruction
Knights are ⚥ (Dave, Karkat & Latula), weaponise
Lords are ♂, active,
Mages are ⚥ (Sollux & Meulin)
Muses are ♀, passive,
Pages have a lot of untapped potential
Princes are ♂, active, destruction
Rogues are ⚥, passive, stealing
Seers are ⚥ (Rose, Terezi & Kankri), passive, know ledge
Sylphs are maybe passive because they help others, maybe a counterpart to Witches because they are 'Like A Witch But More Magical'
Thieves are ⚥, active, steal ing
Witches are active, maybe manipulate things
It might be worth noting that the two we know absolutely nothing about in canon is Heir and Maid, both of which are classes for the leaders of the human sessions.
Breath - wind
Heart - soul
Hope - I guessed belief because of this post and Jake says 'he's a believing guy'
Life - life
Light - fortune/luck
Mind - decisions
Rage -
Space - physical location
Time - time
Void - obscurement
An unintended consequence of these suppositions is that all four Space players so far have ♀ classes, all three Hope players have ♂ classes, both Rage players have ♂ classes, and both Blood & Doom & Mind players have ⚥ classes. Also, all three Life players are active classes, while all three Void players are passive classes. Of course, this might not mean anything, but it's interesting.
I have gone through all of Homestuck, Hussie's Tumblr and as much of the saved Formspring answers as I could. I haven't gone through his Twitter though, except that one tweet I favourited. Hopefully, I haven't missed anything too egregious.

Grstudios: Looks awesome, Packersfan! Loved the rail viaduct by the cemetery, where did you get this?
The bridge is just a part of NAM, nothing special besides NAM.
Emperordaniel: The region view looks SO REAL
Thanks. The key is making your region look like it has been there for a while. Also for most of us we only know the world mostly covered with farms and development, so unless you are doing a city from the first settlement in a new land, planting a region full of farms and little villages is a must!
Bluemoose: Love the sprawl, and your region views are some of my favorite!
Thank you. I can't wait until this "sprawl" is considered the core of my city!
Schulmanator: Impressive, both in the far-out and close-in levels. Nice work!
Thanks a lot. I've really been trying to make the close-in pictures look better and better with Mayor Mode Ploppables. So many great journalers have mastered the MMPs and really make me jealous.
Dfnva: Nice update, I like the character of the businesses, fast food restaurants, etc., on S. 56th St. The regional view looks beautiful. Martin is getting pretty big.
Thank you. Yeah it is getting big. Really lends itself to never having a shortage of update topics...eventually I really have to do a good tour with signs, haha. Maybe when I have freeways, someday!
I'm back to working around the Brittany River expanding westward. The next few days I will work on updating the region-wide street map.

Today we will start travelling south on 40th Street. 40th Street is serviced by WTAB (Wenzel Transit Authority Bus) Route 40. Between the Brittany River and Baltimore Avenue, 40th Street is heavily industrialized.
Next time we will continue travelling south on 40th Street. Keep up the great feedback. Tips are welcome...except for FAR and FARR...those great fractional angle roads just don't suit my needs ;P. Check out the District of Wenzel Street Map to get an idea where we are.
We start our tour crossing the Brittany River
The bleak industrial rundown area of 40th Street
As you can see I added a bus stop sign. I didn't add it to my previous intersections out of a little laziness, haha. I will post a bigger version in the future, and maybe alter it a little more. It designates the route (40) and the route it intersects (27) on Lucas Road.

I love the signs and signals, I missed them from the earlier updates of your CJ. The bus stop signs are particularly nice touch. You and KJ3400 are getting me remotivated to play SC4... just got to load it onto my new computer, and d/l the new NAM/RHW, etc. But now with a grad school sabbatical, I may have more time to play and update Winchester or start on a new CJ.
Keep up the great work!!

FreewayofFlight: I was wondering what you used to create this [The traffic signals and signs], it's really cool (sorry this is from waay early in your cj)!
Your cities are amazing, very realistic!
Well I borrowed the sign posts and stoplights from dfnva. The signs I grab from the official MUTCD from the USDOT. Of course I clear out the sign and put my own text using downloaded fonts resembling the official style of US traffic signs.
Dannibee: I agree, the problem with FAR is that it is quite hard to make it look good . I can't wait until we begin to see the freeways and I liked the avenue undepass too! Another great update
FAR and FARR look great but they don't function as roads where I can put zoning along...and most city streets are zoned.
Dfnva: Nice update, I do like how "nice" (or should I say run-down) the run-down areas look. Are some of the factories now closed with outsourcing and the economy?

Thanks. I don't know who inspired who to do signs and tours, but it is really a fun and always great addition to any CJ, though I must say I'm not always satisfied with my signs, ha.
SimEMS38: I do believe you have the BEST looking region I have ever seen! To me it looks like a post WWII American city right at the onset of the suburban boom. If my regional looks as half as good as yours, I'd be ecstatic!! Keep up the awesome work and I for one can't wait to see much more of Wenzel!!
Thanks a lot. I've seen many great region views here in the past 8 years, and I am glad mine is being considered up with those greats.
Bluemoose: Awesomesauce! I like the signs, and the concrete rail viaduct looks cool! How'd you do that bit?
The viaduct is in the NAM. Thank you for stopping by. I will continue to try to improve my signs and their realism and accuracy. I'm a perfectionist.
Kj3400: Wow the city is really coming along. I have no clue why I don't comment here I will now though.
Thanks for commenting. The Commonwealth is also coming along nicely.
Benedict: [Christmas card]
Is that elvish at the bottom of that card?
Rewright: Great update! The region shot is very cool. A lot of sprawl.
Yeah, lots of pre-WWII style sprawl...still in a grid system.
Thanks for all the comments and views...I haven't decided if I will have an update this weekend (probably will unless there is absolutely no time). I uploaded a few new update sections to the street map. There is one section that has a new style I'm tinkering with. Check it out tell me what you think. I've made it feel lighter, the fonts, less shadow, feels cleaner. Tell me what you think of it.
Posted 23 December 2011 - 04:28 AM
Without a doubt the best region shot I've EVER seen. Attention to detail is beyond anything I could've thought possible with this game. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say your work is very inspiring.
Was wondering if you could drop us a street map of the region. Also, sry if I missed it, but is there an airport?

Yikes, I don't think I will be able to get an update up tomorrow. I have no energy and no real drive to put together an update to my liking. I'm struggling with the signs and perfection and everything and really feeling grumpy about it, that and NO energy. Sorry guys. I'm disappointed.

We continue south on 40th Street. 40th Street south of Oklahoma Avenue is lined with shops and offices. Half a mile to the west is the University of Wenzel - Martin campus.
Just a short little update. I think the next update we will look at the area west of 40th Street and maybe even the university. Check out the District of Wenzel Street Map to get an idea where we are. Tell me what you think of the new map style (scroll down to the furthest south area of google map style).
Uttica Creek Elementary School is ahead on the right.

Meanwhile, It looks great as always, and these signs really are amazing!

There are different viaduct options in the NAM setup I believe. Thanks, the signs are sometimes very frustrating!
Simbourgeois: Really nice pictures! But... well... after seeing your street map, I am completely speechless!!!
Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks. I am glad the street map is so well received.
Dfnva: Nice update... I particularly like the rundown buildings near Wolcott St. The signal is great too... looks like a typical VA or PA signal assembly (with the yellow signals and backplates as well as the left turn signal sign next to the turn signal... something VA has started to slowly do away with in favor of the red arrow).
I like the clean look of the new-style map.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks. Now I just have to upgrade the rest of the map again, ha.
Rewright: Nice pictures. I like how you highlight the area you are updating on the regional shot. As I've said before, that map is really something and adds so much to your journal. A++ on that.
Yeah, the street map is a really point of pride.
Sim_link: Looks really good - I like the street sign/traffic light images, they add a nice touch. I also like the new style for your maps - especially the street names. They look much cleaner and less condensed.
I want to keep doing the signs, but it is a lot of frustrating work sometimes. Now I just have to upgrade the rest of the map to reflect the cleaner style.
Well I missed last week's update because I was playing a lot of Madden NFL 2012 on our new XBox. I think I should have enough motivation to get an update this Saturday. Keep checking in!

Bravo - District of Wenzel is number 6 for 2011!
Posted 07 January 2012 - 04:40 PM
Today we visit the University of Wenzel - Martin Campus. The university has around 10,000 undergraduate students and another 5,000 graduate students. The university's athletic teams are called the Red Raiders, and despite its mascot being a buccaneer, the university is still under pressure from native peoples to change the name. A total of 18 Red Raider athletic teams compete in WCAA Division I.
The university consists of seven undergraduate colleges, a graduate school, a nursing school, a law school, and a medical school and hospital.
I hope you enjoyed that update. I clearly haven't mastered creating a massive university yet, haha, but I am for the most part pleased with how it turned out. Check out the District of Wenzel Street Map to get an idea where we are. Tell me what you think of the new map style (scroll down to the farthest south area of google map style).
The title picture is the northeast corner of the university consisting mainly of the medical school, hospital, and medical research laboratories.
In this mosaic, we see more lecture halls, academic centers, and student housing. The UWM campus is quite condensed and consists of buildings spanning many eras. Towards the bottom of the picture we can see Andrew Marshall Track & Field.
Now facing west, we see Hollins Arena, more housing, and the original core campus.
Recreational opportunities are available throughout campus, especially on the west side near Hollins Arena.
North edge of campus with a METRA railroad as a boundary.
Facing south we see the UWM METRA station, student housing, and recreational fields.
Facing east we see Red Raiders Stadium home of the D-1 football team.
Facing north we see more athletic fields.

UGA President Michael Adams resigned this week as chairman of the NCAA Executive Committee, the powerful group that ultimately will choose a successor to the late Myles Brand as NCAA president.
Although the move probably will further fuel speculation about Adams as a candidate for the president's position himself, he said on a teleconference that he stepped down with six months left on his term to ensure that those who choose the next president will be the ones still in place to work with him or her.
"It is time for new leadership at the executive committee level," Adams said. "I feel very strongly that the group of the executive committee who will work with the next NCAA president needs to be the ones in charge of the search and in charge of that process.
"I feel like, frankly, that I have done what I came to do, and I have done what I promised Myles I would do. . . . And after almost three years of this, and particularly the amount of time it has required of me the last nine

Estee Lauder benefits from airport retail market
The cosmetics company hopes to convert more travelers into purchasers.
It has succeeded in capitalizing on the growing travel retail market over the past few quarters and currently sells its prestige beauty products through more than 1,000 airport outlets. This channel has performed particularly well within Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, generating double-digit net sales growth in fiscal 2011.
With improved global airline passenger traffic, particularly in China, Russia and Brazil, Estee Lauder has been focusing on improving its marketing and distribution at high-end airports to convert travelers into purchasers and continue its growth momentum in the fastest-growing travel retail segment. Its travel-retail business has benefited from its strategic investments in local markets as well as through the increase in international travelers, particularly in Asia.
Fast growth in travel retail
According to a recent Verdict report, global travel retail has quickly become the fastest-growing retail channel for beauty, fashion and accessory products. It estimates that the travel retail market is likely to grow sharply by 60% to $45 billion by 2015. In particular, beauty sales are likely to grow by more than 80% in the next five years. BCG estimates that the overall luxury goods sales could grow by 15% during the same period, which implies that most of this growth will materialize at travel retail outlets.
Growth in travel retail is driven predominantly by passenger volumes, which are increasing rapidly in emerging markets, rather than an increase in average spend per passenger. In 2011, Europe was the largest airport retailing market, but the Asia-Pacific region, which could grow 75% by 2015, may soon overtake it. The Middle East and Africa is emerging as the second-fastest growing market and is likely to expand 40% by 2015.
China in focus
China's emerging middle class has been the single largest driver of luxury sales growth in the last few years. Estee Lauder's growth in the Chinese prestige beauty market has largely relied on airport retail and online channels. However, it anticipates some moderation in growth in the market over the next few quarters, and seeks to fuel further growth by expanding into smaller Chinese cities and airports. According to the Global Business Travel Association, China is likely to add 100 new airports in the next decade including emerging cities like Chongqing and Wuhan.

The Resurrected
A mother's choice: Save the world or save her family.
No one would claim an ex-con-artist has the makings of a good mother. Especially not Collette. Regardless, she's determined to give her son the loving childhood she never had. Devoting herself to her husband and young son might even help atone for her sins.
But her chance for redemption disappears when a power-hungry immortal orchestrates her abduction for his scheme to control the world. Unwilling to add to her score of transgressions, she rebels against his commands—until he threatens to kill her family.
Now Collette must choose: thwart his plans and sacrifice her husband and son, or submit and allow this tyrant to enslave humanity.
Completed 95K urban fantasy with women's fiction elements. Although this is a self-contained story with a definitive ending, it is intended to be the first book in The 7th Generation series.
The Hornet's Virgin
While this is a low-class hornet's snuggery,
I still have a shred of self-respect.
Like all female orphans in Downriver, Julia's life follows a predictable path. Work from the age of two. Endure slavery at a snuggery from the age of eight.
And hope no one buys the key to her belt.
But when a powerful member of the ruling class pays a record amount for the right to strip her of her virginity, she's going to lose her belt, the one thing protecting her from the rape gangs. Julia's days of relative safety will end—unless she can unravel the secrets of Downriver in time to save herself.
Completed 21K post-apocalyptic dark fairytale set in a future that mixes barbaric medieval attitudes and steam engine technology. A spam comment to my blog ("While this is a low-class hornet's snuggery") inspired the first line of this novella and developed into a full-blown world, filled with hornets, snuggers, and the man who secretly controls them all.

truebluemeandyou: DIY Mediation or Keep Calm Jars. Reblogging because I saw a really expensive DIY today making a "timeout jar" when all you need are a few cheap ingredients. You can find glycerin at CVS, drug stores, markets etc… You could also make mini bottle pendants using this recipe. Check out supplies where I've listed tiny bottles in all shapes and sizes here.
DIY Meditation Jar. Great gift - put a great label on it like, "Keep Calm and Sparkle" or "Keep Calm and Glitter On" for a stressed out person (children or grownups). Saw something almost identical on Tumblr and reblogged it here but wanted to know where it came from. The idea came from Still Life with Circles here for use with children(Lower Right Photo). Her recipe has glycerin (used in all snowglobes) and liquid soap and is more snowglobe-like. Then Here We Are Together here (Left Photo) modified the recipe and added glue - go to the link to see exactly what she added.

NORCROSS -- Thousands of people packed the streets of downtown Norcross on Saturday for the Norcross Art Fest.
The annual event featured juried arts and crafts booths, entertainment and family fun.
Lawrenceville resident Mary Wegmann said she thought it was the perfect day to visit a festival. She and a friend planned on browsing, and with nearly 200 booths, there was plenty to see.
"It's a nice day. There's no rain in the forecast, and I'm with good company," Wegmann said. "I like the area, the downtown historical area. ... This is one festival I come to on a regular basis."
Downtown manager Tixie Fowler said the festival seemed to have attracted the biggest crowd in its history.
"In the first part of this first day, the crowd has been much larger than past years," she said.
Norcross Mayor Bucky Johnson said the community turned out to help make the event a success. About 275 people volunteered for the event, and he said some were out before dawn to help set up.
"One of the great things about this event is it helps us create community," he said. "There's something here for everyone."
The Art Fest continues from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today. Shuttle parking is available.
The city's Harvest Festival, which will feature live music and performing arts, is scheduled for Oct. 23, Fowler said. Festivities begin at 11 a.m. For more information, visit www.aplacetoimagine.com.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - If you need to mow your lawn, the next two days would be a good time to do it.
Dry weather is predicted into Wednesday, and temperatures will stay above normal.
The recent drought has not stopped the weeds from growing -- and many lawns are a bit greener now, after the recent rains.
Most of the state received brief downpours on Saturday, with some areas getting a half-inch of rain or more. Stueben in Crawford County had just over three-fourths of an inch.
Normal highs for Wisconsin are in the 60's for late September. Highs in the 70's are predicted throughout the Badger State Monday, and many areas could reach the 80's by Wednesday.
After that, a low pressure system is expected to move in, bringing rain and somewhat cooler temperatures for the rest of the week.

Even among people as logical and rational as software developers, you should never underestimate the power of myth. Some programmers will believe what they choose to believe against all better judgment.
The classic example is the popular fallacy that you can speed up a software project by adding more developers. Frederick P. Brooks debunked this theory in 1975, in his now-seminal book of essays, "The Mythical Man-Month."
[ Find out which 11 programming trends are on the rise, verse yourself in the 10 hard truths developers must accept, and test your programming smarts with our programming IQ tests: Round 1 and Round 2 and "Hello, world": Programming languages quiz. | Keep up on key application development insights with the Fatal Exception blog and Developer World newsletter. ]
Brooks' central premise was that adding more developers to a late software project won't make it go faster. On the contrary, they'll delay it further. If this is true, he argued, much of the other conventional wisdom about software project management was actually wrong.
Some of Brooks' examples seem obsolete today, but his premise is still sound. He makes his point cogently and convincingly. Unfortunately, too few developers seem to have taken it to heart. More than 35 years later, mythical thinking still abounds among programmers. We keep making the same mistakes.
The real shame is that, in many cases, our elders pointed out our errors years ago, if only we would pay attention. Here are just a few examples of modern-day programming myths, many of which are actually new takes on age-old fallacies.
Programming myth No. 1: Offshoring produces software faster and cheaper
These days, no one in their right mind thinks of launching a major software project without an offshoring strategy. All of the big software vendors do it. Silicon Valley venture capitalists insist on it. It's a no-brainer -- or so the service providers would have you believe.
It sounds logical. By off-loading coding work to developing economies, software firms can hire more programmers for less. That means they can finish their projects in less time and with smaller budgets.
But hold on! This is a classic example of the Mythical Man-Month fallacy. We know that throwing more bodies at a software project won't help it ship sooner or cost less -- quite the opposite. Going overseas only makes matters worse.
According to Brooks, "Adding people to a software project increases the total effort necessary in three ways: the work and disruption of repartitioning itself, training new people, and added intercommunication."

SHELBY COUNTY, KY (WAVE) - After an E. coli incident in Indiana, you may be wondering if it's still safe to take children to orchards, pumpkin patches and petting zoos this weekend.
There is not an investigation in Kentucky, but WAVE 3 News visited a similar farm popular for family activities.
Somewhere between the hay ride and picking out the perfect Gallrein Farm pumpkin, children make it a priority to check out the petting zoo.
Malia Hurst with Gallrein said the owners recently met with agriculture experts and veterinarians to ensure the health and safety of visitors.
"We had concerns and the first thing we did was contact our veterinarian. And we reviewed our safety and sanitary measures," Hurst said.
A fence and gate separates the petting zoo's premises from the rest of the property. There's also dozens of signs warning visitors to wash their hands immediately after any contact with animals.
"They have hand sanitizer stations inside and right outside the petting zoo. There's also a hand washing station with running water and disposable paper towels," Hurst said.
There's signage highlighting precautions and procedures when feeding the animals near the entrance, exit and throughout the property. KY Agriculture signs are also posted throughout the property to remind visitors to avoid contact with their mouth or food while visiting animals.
Gallrein farm's petting zoo is a must do for parents like Allison Reid. "What better way to learn than come out here and get some hands on activities with the animals. We have to be cautious, but at the same time that's everywhere you go with children" Reid said.

Philosophers and scientists have long speculated about the nature of color. Atomists such as Democritus thought color to be "conventional," not real; Galileo and other key figures of the Scientific Revolution thought that it was an erroneous projection of our own sensations onto external objects. More recently, philosophers have enriched the debate about color by aligning the most advanced color science with the most sophisticated methods of analytical philosophy.
Where does the mind stop and the rest of the world begin? In their famous 1998 paper "The Extended Mind," philosophers Andy Clark and David J. Chalmers posed this question and answered it provocatively: cognitive processes "ain't all in the head." The environment has an active role in driving cognition; cognition is sometimes made up of neural, bodily, and environmental processes. Their argument excited a vigorous debate among philosophers, both supporters and detractors.
The field of neuroimaging has reached a watershed. Brain imaging research has been the source of many advances in cognitive neuroscience and cognitive science over the last decade, but recent critiques and emerging trends are raising foundational issues of methodology, measurement, and theory. Indeed, concerns over interpretation of brain maps have created serious controversies in social neuroscience, and, more important, point to a larger set of issues that lie at the heart of the entire brain mapping enterprise.
In Cognitive Pragmatics, Bruno Bara offers a theory of human communication that is both formalized through logic and empirically validated through experimental data and clinical studies. Bara argues that communication is a cooperative activity in which two or more agents together consciously and intentionally construct the meaning of their interaction. In true communication (which Bara distinguishes from the mere transmission of information), all the actors must share a set of mental states.
These essays on a range of topics in the cognitive neurosciences report on the progress in the field over the twenty years of its existence and reflect the many groundbreaking scientific contributions and enduring influence of Michael Gazzaniga, "the godfather of cognitive neuroscience"—founder of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, founding editor of the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, and editor of the major reference work, The Cognitive Neurosciences, now in its fourth edition (MIT Press, 2009).
The contemporary discipline of biolinguistics is beginning to have the feel of scientific inquiry. Biolinguistics—especially the work of Noam Chomsky—suggests that the design of language may be "perfect": language is an optimal solution to conditions of sound and meaning. What is the scope of this inquiry? Which aspect of nature does this science investigate? What is its relation to the rest of science? What notions of language and mind are under investigation? This book is a study of such foundational questions.
The image of the addict in popular culture combines victimhood and moral failure; we sympathize with addicts in films and novels because of their suffering and their hard-won knowledge. And yet actual scientific knowledge about addiction tends to undermine this cultural construct. In What Is Addiction? leading addiction researchers from neuroscience, psychology, genetics, philosophy, economics, and other fields survey the latest findings in addiction science.
Intention was seen traditionally as a philosophical concept, before being debated more recently from psychological and social perspectives. Today the cognitive sciences approach intention empirically, at the level of its underlying mechanisms. This naturalization of intention makes it more concrete and graspable by empirical sciences. This volume offers an interdisciplinary integration of current research on intentional processes naturalized through action, drawing on the theoretical and empirical approaches of cognitive neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and sociology.
The last decade has seen computational implementations of large hand-crafted natural language grammars in formal frameworks such as Tree-Adjoining Grammar (TAG), Combinatory Categorical Grammar (CCG), Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), and Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG). Grammars in these frameworks typically associate linguistically motivated rich descriptions (Supertags) with words.
In Mental Reality, Galen Strawson argues that much contemporary philosophy of mind gives undue primacy of place to publicly observable phenomena, nonmental phenomena, and behavioral phenomena (understood as publicly observable phenomena) in its account of the nature of mind. It does so at the expense of the phenomena of conscious experience. Strawson describes an alternative position, "naturalized Cartesianism," which couples the materialist view that mind is entirely natural and wholly physical with a fully realist account of the nature of conscious experience.
In this largely antimetaphysical treatment of free will and determinism, Mark Balaguer argues that the philosophical problem of free will boils down to an open scientific question about the causal histories of certain kinds of neural events. In the course of his argument, Balaguer provides a naturalistic defense of the libertarian view of free will.
In making decisions, when should we go with our gut and when should we try to analyze every option? When should we use our intuition and when should we rely on logic and statistics? Most of us would probably agree that for important decisions, we should follow certain guidelines--gather as much information as possible, compare the options, pin down the goals before getting started. But in practice we make some of our best decisions by adapting to circumstances rather than blindly following procedures.
While philosophers of mind have been arguing over the status of mental representations in cognitive science, cognitive scientists have been quietly engaged in studying perception, action, and cognition without explaining them in terms of mental representation. In this book, Anthony Chemero describes this nonrepresentational approach (which he terms radical embodied cognitive science), puts it in historical and conceptual context, and applies it to traditional problems in the philosophy of mind.
In Cognition and Perception, Athanassios Raftopoulos discusses the cognitive penetrability of perception and claims that there is a part of visual processes (which he calls "perception") that results in representational states with nonconceptual content; that is, a part that retrieves information from visual scenes in conceptually unmediated, "bottom-up," theory-neutral ways.
Emotional intelligence (or EI)—the ability to perceive, regulate, and communicate emotions, to understand emotions in ourselves and others—has been the subject of best-selling books, magazine cover stories, and countless media mentions. It has been touted as a solution for problems ranging from relationship issues to the inadequacies of local schools. But the media hype has far outpaced the scientific research on emotional intelligence.
Many philosophical naturalists eschew analysis in favor of discovering metaphysical truths from the a posteriori, contending that analysis does not lead to philosophical insight. A countercurrent to this approach seeks to reconcile a certain account of conceptual analysis with philosophical naturalism; prominent and influential proponents of this methodology include the late David Lewis, Frank Jackson, Michael Smith, Philip Pettit, and David Armstrong.
Mental processes are the essence of creative endeavor. The Creative Cognition Approach extends this particular view of creativity, first proposed and developed by the editors in their earlier book Creative Cognition, to the programs and theoretical views of some of the most prominent researchers in the areas of problem solving, concept formation, and thinking.
The predicative mind singles out and represents an item in order to attribute to it a property, a relation, an action, an evaluation; it thinks, and says, of a house that it is big, of a car that it is to the left of the house, of a cat that it is about to jump, of a hypothesis that it is plausible. The capacity to predicate appears to be neither innate nor learned, yet it is universal among humans. Puzzling in evolutionary, developmental, and philosophical terms, the mental competence for predication still awaits a coherent and plausible explanation.
Agency is a central psychological phenomenon that must be accounted for in any explanatory framework for human action. According to the diverse group of scholars, researchers, and clinicians who have contributed chapters to this book, psychological agency is not a fixed entity that conforms to traditional definitions of free will but an affective, embodied, and relational processing of human experience. Agency is dependent on the biological, social, and cultural contexts that inform and shape who we are.
In Theory and Evidence Barbara Koslowski brings into sharp focus the ways in which the standard literature both distorts and underestimates the reasoning abilities of ordinary people. She provides the basis for a new research program on a more complete characterization of scientific reasoning, problem solving, and causality.
One of the central problems in the philosophy of psychology is an updated version of the old mind-body problem: how levels of theories in the behavioral and brain sciences relate to one another. Many contemporary philosophers of mind believe that cognitive-psychological theories are not reducible to neurological theories. However, this antireductionism has not spawned a revival of dualism. Instead, most nonreductive physicalists prefer the idea of a one-way dependence of the mental on the physical.
Human communication is grounded in fundamentally cooperative, even shared, intentions. In this original and provocative account of the evolutionary origins of human communication, Michael Tomasello connects the fundamentally cooperative structure of human communication (initially discovered by Paul Grice) to the especially cooperative structure of human (as opposed to other primate) social interaction.
The now-popular idea that emotions have an intelligent core (and the reverse, that intelligence has an emotional core) comes from the neurosciences and psychology. Similarly, the fundamental sexualization of the brain—the new interest in "essential differences" in male and female brains and behaviors—is based on neuroscience research and neuroimages of emotions.
How do novel scientific concepts arise? In Creating Scientific Concepts, Nancy Nersessian seeks to answer this central but virtually unasked question in the problem of conceptual change. She argues that the popular image of novel concepts and profound insight bursting forth in a blinding flash of inspiration is mistaken.

I know the defense is a mess so no use going there. Where is the deep ball on offense?
Nick: I'm with you. But I really don't think this team has players who can really stretch the defense. We don't see a ton of speed at the receiver position. The fastest guy they had was
David:Normally, I'd be right there with you. Honestly, though, against the Bears I thought the offensive gameplan was spot-on. You don't need to heave the ball downfield when the running backs are averaging seven yards per carry – you just need your defense to help you control the tempo of the game. Overall, it's a valid point.
time Bryant or Williams had a reception of more than 25 yards was in the beatdown loss to New Orleans on Nov. 10.
Nick: There's no way his value would be that high, not compared to the type of player he's been. Teams see the tape too. There's a better chance of him getting healthy and returning close to that level than getting a bunch of draft picks for a future Hall of Famer. I'm not ready to say it's over for him. It was just a few months ago when he was looking as great as any player we've seen in recent years. He's hurt. He's not done.
David: I think in situations like this, people get caught up in looking at a player's reputation, rather than his future. If it were somehow possible to trade away Ware's nine seasons of productivity and 117 career sacks, you could probably get a dozen picks for him. It doesn't work that way, unfortunately. Ware will be 32 when the 2014 season starts, and his production has dropped off, as you noted, so it's hard to imagine getting much for him. What's more likely is the Cowboys re-structure his contract again to help their salary cap number and hope he regains his old prowess.

E3 2011: Sonic Generations
QUICKTAKE: Sonic Generations brings the titular blue hedgehog back in a fan service-filled, high-definition adventure chock full of re-imagined content from the past twenty years worth of Sonic titles. Seeing the classic levels get a glossy coat of visual polish is sure to please die-hard Sonic fans, and the ability to play each level from classic (2D) or modern (3D) perspectives is a welcome addition.
THE DEMO: At E3 2011, I stopped by the Sega booth to play through the first level of the famous "Green Hill Zone" in Sonic Generations, one of the most instantly recognizable landscapes from the original Sonic the Hedgehog. I played through the level twice, using the classic 2D approach first, followed by the over-the-shoulder perspective used in more recent Sonic titles.
DETAILS: The first thing most folks will notice about Sonic Generations is how gorgeous is looks. If you're among the multitudes who played (and enjoyed) Sonic's original outings, seeing those environments rendered in bright, crisp, and colorful high-definition is very cool. Sonic's trademark enemies and its formula of collecting rings at a breakneck pace is also there in full-effect. The game's overarching narrative tells a tale of Sonic's universe being thrown into chaos, and the appearance of "time holes" that pull Sonic and his friends back in time.
Playing the same level from the alternate perspective actually changes the flow of each level quite a bit. You're still navigating what is ostensibly the same course, but the shift in perspective makes everything from ring placement to combat feel a bit different. For example, Classic Sonic is able to use his Spin Dash and Spin Attack, whereas Modern Sonic has a homing attack and Sonic Boost.
Other than a few rare brief hitches in the frame-rate, the early build of Sonic Generations played as I expected. The game is very fast, and the momentum-based locomotion is as it ever was. It's clearly more of a tribute for fans of the series than a fresh take, though it might bring some first-time ring-collectors into the fold. That said, I was mildly disappointed that the Sonic Generations demo didn't show me much new, save for being able to run through classic levels from a different perspective. Overall, the game gives players what they've come to expect from Sonic the Hedgehog, through and through. That's not necessarily a bad thing, for fans.
It's also worth noting that the 3DS version of Sonic Generations will feature entirely different levels than the console versions (save for Green Hill Zone), and will be the only platform to feature re-imagined levels from older handheld Sonic titles. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will feature revamped levels pulled from the entirety of Sonic's history on consoles.
Sonic Generations is rolling out for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the 3DS in "late 2011."

Beginnings: The hills surrounding Old Bethpage mark the far eastern edge of the Hempstead Plains. Englishman Thomas Powell acquired it as part of his 15-square-mile purchase in 1695. Powell named his purchase from the Marsapeque Indians after Bethphage. Powell dropped one of the h's, but his purchase was between Long Island's Jericho and Jerusalem, now known as Wantagh. It wasn't until the 1870s, after Alexander T. Stewart purchased the plains, that industry came to Bethpage in the form of a large brickworks. The works supplied bricks for Stewart's Garden City and beyond until it closed in 1981.

Orange Girl Scout travels paths of adventure with destinations trip to Ecuador
HOUSTON, Texas – Girl Scout Alexandria J., a homeschooled senior from Orange, Texas, participated in Girl Scouts of the USA's destinations program over the summer, traveling to Ecuador. destinations are travel adventures for Girl Scouts ages 13-18 that take place all over the world and give girls the chance to meet remarkable girls, develop leadership skills, gain confidence and enjoy valuable learning opportunities.
To go on a destinations trip, girls must submit an application, two personal references and an essay explaining why they want to participate in the event and what skills or talents they can contribute to the group. Girl Scouts can apply for up to four trips per year. A limited number of girls are chosen for each destinations, and no more than two girls from one Girl Scout council are chosen to encourage attendees to make new friends. After being chosen for a destinations, Girl Scouts are responsible for raising the funds to go on the trip through selling cookies, money earned at a job or personal savings.
Alexandria's destination, titled Galapagos Islands, took her on an adventure through the islands off the coast of Ecuador where she learned about South American culture, visited the Charles Darwin Search Center, went snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean and more.
"My favorite part was getting to touch a white tip reef shark," said Alexandria. "The most challenging thing was the altitude – 9,500 feet!"

The Hawaii Surf Team will be competing against the top amateur surfers from over 40 countries on 6 continents in the ISA World Junior Surfing Championship. The team will be competing to defend their World Title from Panama, 2012. The ISA World Junior Surfing Championship will take place in Jiquiliste Beach in Tola, Nicaragua June 8-‐ 16.
After their long journey, and a wonderful send off from the Honolulu International Airport the Hawaii Surf Team arrived in Nicaragua safe and sound. Everyone was eager to test the waters of Playa Santana after checking into their accommodations, which are only a few minutes walk from the contest venue.
Yesterday, June 6th was their first pre-event training day. The day started with an early morning yoga session. After breakfast, the team went to test their boards and fins. They are also learning the line up of Playa Santana.
The entire team surfed well. Everyone is looking good and feeling great. After lunch the team returned to Playa Santana to register with the ISA officials. Many other teams arrived today such as Uruguay, Peru, Barbados, and Portugal. Most of the other teams are expected tomorrow.
The team is staying focused. After registration, the coaches ran practice heats until dark. The forecast predicts an increase in the swell tomorrow and everyone is excited to get back into the water. Hawaii Surf Team = Together Everyone Achieve More! Follow and support the team, live coverage of the contest will be available on their site

Narrow your search
The BotVac's design diverges a bit from Neato's classic XV line.
If you want a no-fuss floor cleaner, stay away from the Moneual Rydis H67 Pro.
For $300 (or £260) the Braava might be tempting, but consider holding out for something smarter, more powerful, and with more features.
The Hom-Bot boasts some interesting bells and whistles, but after comparing its price and performance with the competition, it's a tough purchase to justify.
Doorbot is an excellent idea poorly executed -- hold off for now and hope that this glitchy device improves with time.
Going further up the pricing scale, MakerBot's new two-color 3D printer is one of the most exciting products in its category.
Available for preorder tomorrow, the toolmaker's 3D Idea Builder goes on sale at Home Depot and Amazon in November.
The co-founder of the 3D printer company steps down to take on a new leadership role at its parent company, Stratasys.
Neato improved on its already-impressive robot vacuums with the BotVac line. Roomba 870 fans might find that Neato's BotVac 85 offers similar features and performance, but you get more accessories (like three filters rather than the 870's two) and much shorter run times.
For those willing to invest the time and the money, the MakerBot Replicator will provide the most powerful consumer 3D printing experience available.

Civil War Issues
Yet to Be Resolved
Historian discusses
war's modern effects
Bennie Scarton, Jr.
Manassas Journal Messenger
The War Between the States is still very much a part of the national, and even international scene, even 135 years later.
That is what Scott H. Harris, director of the Manassas Museum System, told a gathering of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at its Lee, Jackson, Maury Luncheon on Saturday at the Grace United Methodist Church. In addition to the Manassas chapter, members from Culpeper, Piedmont, Fairfax and Falls Church chapters also were present.
"There is certainly no shortage of current events that pertain to the Confederacy and the Civil War in general," he said.
He pointed out such recent events as in South Carolina where the NAACP is staging an economic boycott to remove the Confederate flag that has flown over the state capitol dome for decades; in Richmond where a controversial portrait of Robert E. Lee on the city's canal walk recently was destroyed by a Molotov cocktail. The former Confederate capital is also the scene of a debate in the general Assembly over designating separate state holidays, one for Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and another for Martin Luther King, Jr.
"These controversies and others make clear the fact that the Civil War is still in the news worldwide. In fact, the most recent coverage I saw of the South Carolina matter was on the BBC News," Harris said.
Speaking to the group for the second time in the past two years, Harris said, "The current discord over Confederate imagery is part of what I believe is the essential American process of seeking common ground. Our whole system of government is based both upon controversy and compromise. It's why we have national, state and local governments. It's why we have a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, that gives voice to both minority and majority points of view."
"American society is based on a struggle between various opposing forces that, when the system works, produces compromise. Usually, not everyone is completely satisfied with the final result, but society as a whole is served by this balance of opinion and power."
Harris, who like the United Daughters of the Confederacy has ancestors that participated in the historic conflict, said, "The Civil War has been called the War Between the States, the War of Northern Agression, the War of the Rebellion, the War of Southern Independence, the War to Save the Union, the War to End Slavery and the Second American Revoultion, to name a few. Each of the terms reflects a particular point of view.
"The fact that today, 135 years later, we are still confronted with many of the same issues that influenced the 1860's shows how much those issues continue to resonate within our society."
Noting that America is about compromise, Harris said the Civil War was the most extreme example of the failure of compromise and the consequences of that failure resulted in 600,000 casualties and widespread economic devastation throughout the South.
And the raw nerves of states rights vs. federal power, agriculture vs. industry, and blacks vs. whites, still feel the pain," he said.
Harris said since his field is history and not politics, he can offer no great insights into how we can resolve the differences surrounding the War that still exist.
"There are personal choices we must all make, in our own way. I can, however, make the following observation: we cannot escape our history. We cannot travel back in time and start over and we can't undo history - we have to make the best use of it we can. We do this by preserving historic sites and artifacts, and documents; by researching, writing and reading about the past; by keeping alive the stories of our families, our communities, our states and our nation."
Harris closed out his presentation by saying, "If we will just remember our history, examine it, warts and all, and use it as a guide for our present and future, we will perhaps have a better understanding of those different points of view that make us Americans. We can never reach Utopia, but we may at least better understand who we all are, and thereby work toward that state of compromise that is historically our goal.
"That's why we need the NAACP, the Daughters of the Union Veterans, and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. All of us, individuals and organizations alike, are stake holders in this quest for balance, for compromise, that keeps America in business."

NCAB Discusses Future of Cancer Technology at NCI
"There is an extraordinary evolution going on in biomedical technology," said Dr. Eric Lander, co-chair with Dr. Leland Hartwell of the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) ad hoc Subcommittee on Biomedical Technology Working Group, as he began his presentation at the Board's meeting on September 14. Dr. Lander discussed the Working Group's 2004 agenda, which focused on specific ways to take advantage of the potential power of technology through projects, initiatives, and structures that would have an effect all across cancer.
The NCAB Biomedical Technology Subcommittee established the Working Group to advise the Board, National Cancer Institute (NCI) Director Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach, and senior leadership on the development and application of biomedical technologies to cancer. Before this meeting, the Working Group enlisted the help of outside experts and developed subgroups to examine specific aspects and themes related to cancer and advancing technologies.
Reminding the Board that these are tentative recommendations and that several issues remain to be discussed by Working Group members, Dr. Lander noted that a number of themes identified by the subgroups overlapped, particularly in comprehensive characterization of the genomic basis of cancer and in the molecular detection of cancer.
Regarding the genomic basis of cancer, Dr. Lander noted that there is "always a new oncogene lurking out there, waiting to be discovered." But, because the number of different types of cancer is limited, for each type researchers can determine which genes are mutated in at least 5 percent of those cancers.
"Drug companies and academic researchers are increasingly coming up with strategies for translating a significant fraction…of important targets into therapeutics, and a larger fraction into important diagnostics," Dr. Lander said. He suggested that a cancer-focused program similar to the Human Genome Project could dramatically accelerate this process. Dr. Lander noted that this effort will require coordination of many different groups.
Regarding the molecular detection of cancer, he highlighted proteomics, saying that the "technology remains slow and expensive." He suggested that NCI might push forward proteomics by focusing its application, and also said that the "push" from technology developers needs to be supported by a "pull" from the cancer community, such as mandatory use of new technology in collaborative settings.
Dr. Lander ended by saying that a report on the Working Group's findings will most likely be ready at the December 2004 NCAB meeting.
Board members responded enthusiastically to the presentation. "This is one of the most exciting groups and processes in terms of their vision and thinking about the future and about how we can have a dramatic impact on this disease," said Dr. John Niederhuber, NCAB chair.
There were also questions. "I'd like to speak up to strongly endorse what Dr. Lander is saying here," said new NCAB member David H. Koch, "but, I worry that a big organization like the National Cancer Institute has a lot of inertia and can't change very quickly to support breakthroughs… In short, How do we make the NCI elephant dance like a ballerina?"
Dr. Lander answered, "In many ways, I would suggest that in completely restructuring an elephant, it might be best to focus on a part of it first. What we will attempt to do in the report is to lay out the structures that we believe are necessary to get these jobs done."

WESTON (WAOW) - We have had a good run of luck with our guests this year with more of the same this week.
Defensive back Sam Shields returned from injury last Sunday and instantly came up with an interception. This week, Shields drew three interference calls, held a receiver to zero yards and he's had five pass break ups in the past two games. He is also our guest Monday.
In the 2010 NFC Championship game he became the first rookie in NFL history to record two interceptions and a sack in a playoff game.
