As Dave stressed "Let patients help", my question is how can patients help their doctors?
The relation between a doctor and his/her patient is a relation of trust. If a doctor feels that he or she is not trusted enough, they may switch into defensive decision making process. And that would surely not yield good result. I personally believe that doctors treat their patients in best faith, but their treatment method may not be best. One of the vital resources "patient" is neglected till now. So how can patient help their doctor?

Jul 2 2011: Sulav,
To answer this question from the negative side, a recent study (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/546878) of the patient behaviors neurologists found "bothersome" were: 1. no show for appointment 2. verbally abusive with staff 3. poor compliance with medications or treatment 4. late for appointment 5. do not know the medications that they are taking. Of the 30 items, those behaviors as well as answering cell phones during office visits and unnecessary phone calls after hours were among the most highly rated as bothersome.
IMO, even these "complaints about patients" can actually be interpreted as a shared failing at best. Understanding the reasons why a patient misses an appointment might reveal that trying to schedule an appointment when it is convenient to the doctor, not the patient, makes the likelihood of showing up on time more difficult for someone that is sick. Verbal abuse to staff members should be analyzed more thoroughly - is this a boiling over of frustration with a medical system, or just rudeness? Having worked on both sides of the desk I am amazed at the level of routine rudeness in healthcare professionals - they don't even know they're doing it.
Being late for appointments is a pretty rich complaint coming from docs, last time I was in a hospital bed I was left there until the doc caught up on his paperwork! Items 3 and 5, related to medication understanding or medication compliance, are a failing I lay squarely at the feet of the healthcare profession. You mean the patient failed to understand he's taking a sodium channel blocker? What a numbskull! Doesn't he know how important that is to increasing the seizure threshold in his temporal cortex? No, he doesn't, because he didn't go to med school, you didn't convey the required information adequately, and you didn't make sure he was supported by information, not just medication, when he left your office.
I would propose the best thing a patient can do is be more demanding =)
Robert BairdJul 3 2011: Dear Paul,
While you raise several important points, I think you fail to appreciate what pressures/demands lie on the other side of the equation. This is a little biographical, but bear with me here, it's to illustrate a point. I am a physician (a paediatric surgeon, to be specific) in Canada. I have spent 4 years in medical school, during which time I was on call in the hospital every 4th night.I wrote countless examinations. I then spent 6 years in residency where I was on 1 in 4 up to 1 in 2 nights. I worked between 80-100 hours per week. I then completed a fellowship in my field, when I worked 1 out of every 2 nights for two years, still averaging 90 hours/week. I am now 1 year in practice, and work 60-70 hours per work. I usually start at 7am and don't leave before 5pm. I am now on call 1 in 5 nights. I have graduated with a significant debt, and have sacrificed much of my youth to become a physician.
My story is not unique. It reflects the fact that becoming a competent doctor is... hard. Do I want sympathy? No. I am extremely fortunate to have risen to a place of such extreme responsibility.It is a privilege to do what I do, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. But sometimes I feel that a little respect is deserved. A patient is never concerned with the well-being of their health-care provider - they have their own health to worry about. But when speaking in the abstract, I think it deserves remembering that physicians are human too. They are subject to the same fallibilities as everyone else.
Perhaps the next time you are made to wait, or the victim of an unkind word, you'll try and consider the perspective of the other before jumping to conclusions that may not be deserved. It's a lesson I try and practice every day.

Russia lead but Hanyu upstages Plushenko
Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu performs in the Men's Figure Skating Team Short Program at the Iceberg Skating Palace during the Sochi Winter Olympics on February 6, 2014 - by Yuri Kadobnov
Defying his age and years of surgery, Plushenko, 31, placed second in the men's short programme in the Iceberg Skating Palace behind an inspired Hanyu, 19, but world champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov put Russia top when they later waltzed to the lead in the pairs event.
Russia lead with 19 points with Canada second on 17 and China sitting two points behind.
Japan are fourth with 13 points despite Hanyu's heroics in the men's event as their pairs duo Narumi Takahashi and Ryuichi Kihara placed just seventh in the ten-team field.
Germany, France and the United States have 10 points each.
Plushenko pushed his body to the limit with a quad-triple toeloop combination, followed by a triple axel and triple lutz in his "Tango de Roxanne" from the "Moulin Rouge" soundtrack.
"After 12 surgeries on my body that I can skate in a fourth Olympics is great," said Plushenko, who has undergone surgery on his spine and knees in recent years.
The 2006 Olympic champion then joined his Russian teammates rinkside to cheer on the pairs and Volosozhar and Trankov did not disappoint bringing the crowd to their feet as they sealed the lead with the ladies and ice dance short programmes to come on Saturday.
"It's very hard to come back especially for the Olympics," admitted Plushenko, also a two-time Olympic medallist, who had been controversially selected for the Russian team.
"It's hard to compete at home, but sometimes it helps. When I came on the ice, there, from there and from there, everywhere everybody was screaming and shouting. I was a bit shocked. I felt kind of dizzy," he added, of the intense pressure and frenzied chants of "Zhenya" (his nickname) and "Russia" in the 12,000-seater stadium which was three-quarters full.
Hanyu gave an electric performance to "Parisian Walkways" by Gary Moore, once again setting himself up as a contender for gold ahead of three-time world champion Patrick Chan who finished third after a botched landing on a triple axel jump in his skate to Rachmaninov's "Elegie" in E Flat Minor.
Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford placed second in the pairs to lift the Canadians into second.
"Plushenko to me is a hero and it felt great just to take to the same ice as him. I gave it everything I had today," said Hanyu.
His Canadian coach Brian Orser said he had found the right balance in a competition which is taking place for the first time.
"Coming here, his psyche was this performance," said Orser.
"It's so strange for all of us -- for the athletes, for the coaches. All afternoon I didn't know how to handle it. You can't tell them to hold back."
Hanyu scored 97.98 points, not far off the world record he holds, with Plushenko achieving a personal best 91.39, marginally higher than his previous best 91.30 achieved in 2010.
Chan, 23, scored early ten points below his personal best with 87.71.
"It wasn't the best, obviously," said Chan. "All of the jumps weren't great but, in a way, I'm glad I did that here. It was good to get the jitters out."
Chan revealed however he will not compete in the men's free skate final of the team event with Kevin Reynolds representing Canada on Sunday.
"We had a little extra pressure after Patrick was in third place. We were, 'We have to do it for the team'," said Duhamel.
The United States, world team trophy winners in 2009 and 2013, struggled with Jeremy Abbott having an error-strewn performance and Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir faring little better.
"I'm torn about it," said a tearful Abbott, who took to the ice after Plushenko. "I could feel the pulse in the audience and I could hear the silence in my head. I've had my Olympic disaster and I can move on."
Yan Han placed fourth in the men's with Peng Cheng and Zhang Hao third in the pairs, to lift China to overall third.
The ladies short programme, the ice dance short dance and the pairs free skate final will take on Saturday with men's and women's free skating and the team ice dance final on Sunday.

THE WALKING DEAD Recap: "Claimed"
On tonight's episode of AMC's The Walking Dead, viewers got to meet a few new faces. Some were well-intentioned while others were nothing of the sort, and all of them came in varying shades of intelligence. More intriguing than even the new character additions, however, was a bit of intel as to the state of the post-apocalyptic world and, if the newcomers can be believed, the plan to set things right once more.

Floyd Jones (July 21, 1917 – December 19, 1989) was an American blues singer, guitarist and songwriter, who is significant as one of the first of the new generation of electric blues artists to record in Chicago after World War II. A number of Jones' recordings are regarded as classics of the Chicago blues idiom,[1] and his song "On The Road Again" was a top ten hit for Canned Heat in 1968.[2] Notably for a blues artist of his era, several of his songs have economic or social themes, such as "Stockyard Blues" (which refers to a strike at the Union Stockyards), "Hard Times" or "Schooldays".[3]
Life and career[edit]
Jones was born in Marianna, Arkansas. He started playing guitar seriously after being given a guitar by Howlin' Wolf, and worked as an itinerant musician in the Arkansas and Mississippi area in the 1930s and early 1940s, before settling in Chicago in 1945.[4]
In Chicago, Jones took up the electric guitar, and was one of a number of musicians playing on Maxwell Street and in non-union venues in the late 1940s who played an important role in the development of the post-war Chicago Blues sound. This group included Little Walter and Jimmy Rogers, both of who went on to become mainstays of the Muddy Waters band, and also Snooky Pryor, Floyd's cousin Moody Jones and mandolin player Johnny Young. His first recording session in 1947, with Snooky on harmonica and Moody on guitar, produced the sides "Stockyard Blues" and "Keep What You Got", which formed one of the two records released by the Marvel Label, and was one of the first examples of the new style on record. A second session in 1949 resulted in a release on the similarly short-lived Tempo-Tone label. During the 1950s Jones also had records released on JOB, Chess and Vee-Jay, and in 1966 he recorded for the Testament label's Masters of Modern Blues series.[5]
Jones continued performing in Chicago for the rest of his life, although he had few further recording opportunities. Later in his career the electric bass became his main instrument.[1] He died in Chicago in December 1989.

Scandal Round Table: "Spies Like Us"by Miranda Wicker at . Comments
Lies and spies! Scandal's latest episode featured them both in spades, as "Spies Like Us" focused on Olivia saving a team of former CIA operatives from one of its own.
Join the TV Fanatic Round Table - staff writers Carla Day, Leigh Raines, Jim Garner and Miranda Wicker, along with Emily from ABC Scandal Fans - as we discuss the most recent developments from this fun ABC series. Pull up a virtual chair and chime in yourself below...
What was your favorite scene from "Spies Like Us?"
Carla: When Olivia dropped her strong facade and jumped into Edison's arms. She needs to let people in and stop trying to be there for everyone else by not accepting help and love herself.
Leigh: When Quinn dropped her coffee cup and we saw the Reservoir Dogs-style standoff. Insane!!
Jim: Watching Harrison "Balls of Steel" Wright confront six former assassins and actually get them to lower their weapons. I would be shaking afterwards, too!
Miranda: Harrison getting the spies to lower their weapons was awesome. And Harrison's mannerisms as he backed out of the room were slightly comical. He was just all "okay then...carry on..." and then his shaking hands? Yeah, Harrison's scene.
Emily: I've got to go with the scene with Harrison and Olivia (Livisson). I hoped that Harrison would assume the confidante role with Olivia and he definitely stepped into that spot in this scene! In Scanal season 1, Stephen was the one who seemed to keep Liv grounded, the one who intuitively knew when she needed reeling in or when she needed help even if she wouldn't ask for it. The emotion between Harrison and Liv in this scene was amazing! Even when she's still trying to protect everyone from knowing too much by getting involved, Harrison really proved himself by stepping up.
Do you think Harrison will stay as loyal to Olivia as he was in this episode?
Carla: Yes. At least at this point, there's no reason not to believe it.
Leigh: Yes. I think it rattles him a little at times, but as he said he's not her work, he's her friend.
Jim: He's never shown any sign otherwise. From the moment he met Quinn in the bar, he has been 100% about Olivia's cause.
Miranda: I'll be the dissenting voice and say that while Harrison will probably always be Team Olivia, I saw hints of him questioning himself for hurting Abby so she'd break up with David. I think questioning himself could lead to him questioning Olivia and his loyalty to her cause.
Emily: Yes, I do! He's her Gladiator in a Suit. All season, no matter what the others have said or accused her of, Harrison has come to her defense. It must have been painful for him to betray Abby like he did – one of his best friends – but he did it because Olivia said it needed to happen and he trusts her. He confirmed it with his speech to Quinn in episode 4.
Did you have any sympathy for Huck and the spies from B-613?
Carla: Yes, they were used by the government and turned into killing machines. At the same time, they all seem to have adjusted to a normal life except Huck. Perhaps, he needs to move on and enjoy life outside of the cruel gladiator world to truly be free and happy.
Leigh: Yes. They were products of intense government mind training. They were essentially brainwashed. Most of them have tried to have normal lives. Charlie skeeves me out tho.
Jim: Being former military I do. The training sticks with you. I can't imagine what Huck must go through to try and shut it out.
Miranda: I loved every bit of Huck's speech about wanting normal and not knowing exactly what normal was but knowing that if they killed the mole, they jeopardized finding normal. And then my heart broke as he just sat there while the other spies cleaned up. So yeah, I was sympathetic.
Emily: Absolutely. I think Carla, Jim and Leigh said it all!
Will James stay away from Hollis, or do you think he'll smell a rat and follow the trail?
Carla: Hmm ... interesting question. Not sure. He seemed to fall right into Cyrus's trap to drop the issue. But, if something comes up in the future, he'll be all over it.
Leigh: I think James will stay away for now.
Jim: I think Cyrus played him exactly like he needed to. His new ordering or telling James to stop would only make him try harder. But make it look like he wants to to continue, even if it cost him his job? He knew James would back off.
Miranda: I think James is nowhere near done with following this story. If anything, I think Cyrus asking him to stop will spark him to investigate more, only obviously without Cyrus knowing about it.
Emily: I definitely think James will continue to follow this story. He may take a more indirect approach and fly under the radar for a bit, but I definitely don't think Cyrus got to him with that story in the Oval Office. I think James knew he was being played a bit. Think back to "The Trail" in season 1 when James was in the press corps and Cyrus through him off the bus for writing about the alleged affair Mellie was having! James has more backbone than that!
With all the destruction Olivia has caused, does she deserve to be happy?
Carla: Not sure. I agree that she's caused destruction. Is she the cause? Or, is she a victim? You could say she that she's a protector. For example, she may have lied to break up Abby and David, but she did it to save their lives. If they continued on the path they were on, they would have been killed. Regardless of her methods, she deserves to be happy.
Leigh: Yes. However, she indulges in certain situations that aren't right and there are consequences for that.
Jim: Olivia still wears the white hat. It might be tinged with grey here and there, but all her actions are for the best. Even breaking up David and Abby was to save their lives. So she could use a little happiness.
Miranda: I definitely think she deserves a little happiness in her life. I think her actions are for the greater good and we just don't know what that greater good is yet.
Emily: Olivia definitely deserves to be happy. Even though a lot of the "destruction" she has caused has hurt people, especially those she is close to, I believe that once everything comes out we'll understand why she did what she did. Like Olivia told Cyrus in regard to James' article about Hollis: "In the long run it saves his life. You do what needs to be done no matter what."

I really wish we had more WH scenes. The storylines and the characters there are much stronger and a lot more interesting. The stuff with OPA is okay but I'm not tuning it for that. I hope we get to see more of the East Sudan stuff unfolding, Hollis is up to no good there and every where! And where is Sally Langston? And please, please, PLEASE, no more Fitz absences, he's been badly missed.
Well all of us knows that relationship with Ed is just FILLER.
When it comes to Harrison it all depends bc we all know what Harrison's greatest fear is (going back to jail) If it comes to that I want to see what he'll do at that point.
I have great sympathy for the spies bc how can you really untrained something like that which has been drilled into you for years. Yeah what is normal? The other spies lives are so "normal" that it makes you wonder sometimes about real life and those around you but I'm straying :)
James knows Cyrus well enough and I think he's going to research this under the radar so to speak especially if this story can be his biggest scoop.
Indeed Liv deserves to be happy but I'm wondering how she got sucked into this mess in the first place. Why do I feel there is someone else involved that maybe only Hollis knows about. More needs to come out before I can judge this situation wholly. As for Liv sometimes you need to some horrible stuff to save someone's life and she's experienced.
@retiredTVviewer--That's a trademark of the show's creator, Shonda Rhimes. Sections of dialogue are actually timed and when they're not fast enough, they're reshot until they're faster. It's awesome and sometimes maddening, so I watch with subtitles.
1. All Harrison scenes. He did a wonder job on this episode. We got to see his assertiveness and how he is a valuable OP team member.
2. Yes – Harrison has voiced/ shown his support for Olivia especially when her team (Abby, Quinn) have questioned Olivia's actions. Although I gotta admit he looked somewhat uncomfortable having to blackmail David's wife into lying to Abby. I guess he has a hard time 'playing dirty'.
3. Yes – Looks like being a former spy and trying to adjust to 'normal' life is not easy.
4. James is not staying away from Hollis story. Since David circled the article James wrote, David will contact James with what information he has on Hollis and James being a reporter will start digging for information. I have a feeling that one of them; James, Hollis or David is going to die soon over this.
5. Yes she deserves to be happy. I don't view what she has done as destructive but more fixing them and trying to save their lives in the process. So I think the end justifies the means in this case.
Why is the dialog so fast in this show - I love the show but can not keep up with what the actors are saying.
The standoff was amazing! Also amazing was when she just shot the mole. For a second, I foolishly believed that Huck could calm them all down, but she did it so quick and it was just over. And then they all knew what to do to clean up! Absolutely incredible. I hope Fitz is in the next episode! These last two without him were rough.
-Tough. I love spy stuff so the intro to each spy was cool. So was the standoff and the cleaning up of the crimes fend. I also really, really loved the Livisson and Oluck friendship moments. With Steven gone Olivia really is missing out on her best friend. She's been closer to Huck and now closer to Harrison.
- I don't see anything that would suggest otherwise.
- Absolutely!! I cannot imagine what it is like for them to be asked to do these reprehensible things and then expected to go back to normal afterwards. To not have long lasting effects and scars. Loved huvk speech.
- James and David are like dogs with bones.
- that move with David was rough. Yes. She's never not faced repercussions for her actions. Sometimes she does bad things for the right reasons and to protect others. It has to account for something.

Philly Takes another step towards being the Greenest City in America
From US EPA Region 3 Press Office
EPA Welcomes Philadelphia as its Newest Green Power Community Partner
PHILADELPHIA ( June 20, 2012) – Today, EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin welcomed the City of Philadelphia as a new member of EPA's national Green Power Communities initiative, showing that a major metropolitan area can reduce its carbon pollution, improve public health, and help expand the nation's renewable energy supply. The announcement came during an event at Citizens Bank Park, where Garvin also praised the Philadelphia Phillies and other organizations whose efforts for a cleaner environment are helping Philadelphia achieve its clean energy goals.
"As EPA's largest Green Power Community, Philadelphia is among the elite local governments that have met or exceeded their pledges to our nation's clean energy future by purchasing green, renewable power," said Garvin. "I commend Mayor Michael Nutter for his continuous pursuit of numerous, practical ways to make Philadelphia a model green city."
As EPA Green Power Communities, Philadelphia and 33 other towns and cities across the U.S. collectively buy more than 4.2 billion kilowatt hours of green power annually, an amount that would otherwise produce carbon dioxide emissions from the conventional electricity of more than 367,000 average American homes. Green power is generated from renewable resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, and low-impact hydropower – environmentally-preferable resources that produce no net increase of harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2006, Philadelphia joined EPA's Green Power Partnership, a launching pad for becoming a Green Power Community. As part of Philadelphia's Greenworks plan, the city pledges that by 2015, 20 percent of the electricity used in Philadelphia will come from alternative energy sources. The city's municipal operations have already met this goal, using more than 127 million kilowatt-hours of green power, including generating solar electricity onsite at the city-owned Southeast Water Pollution Control facility.
Last week, the Phillies announced its agreement to purchase 100 percent of its electricity usage from local wind and solar generation providers. Other major contributors to the city's green power purchase success include EPA Green Power Partners such as the Eagles organization, the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Philadelphia University, the Academy of Natural Sciences, Yards Brewing Company, along with residents choosing green power. Philadelphia organizations and businesses, including members of the Philadelphia Green Power Community Collaborative are also actively committed to helping Philadelphia maintain its standing as a leading Green Power Community and increase its use of renewable energy.

Biking: Good for you, good for the planet
In the U.S., it's estimated that 40 percent of all urban trips are two miles or less. Unfortunately, 90 percent of those trips are usually by car, which adds up in fuel and carbon emissions. If you consider that each mile you travel by bike instead of car prevents one pound of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere, the benefits of bike riding becomes clear. Add the calorie burning, cardiovascular building, body slimming benefits, and one has to wonder: why doesn't everyone bike?
As it turns out, here in Philadelphia, more of us are doing just that every year. According to a recent report from the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love boasts twice as many bike commuters per capita than any other big city in the U.S. and our ranks (yup, two out of three GreenTrekkers regularly bike to work) continue to rise. With new bike lanes planned and slow but steady progress in etiquette amongst and between cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians, Philly is poised to become what Mayor Nutter dreams of: one of the nation's most bike friendly cities.
We're well on our way, what with our many great bike shops, clubs that support the most low key recreational riders and hardest-core racers alike, and a super system of bike paths that wend through the city and beyond. Take to the saddle and become part of the bicycle revolution. Besides being good for you and good for the planet, it's a whole lot of fun!
For the more ambitious amongst you, check out the resurgence of the cross country bike path movement, the U.S. Bicycle Route System, as discussed in this recent Blog post from GOOD >>

Freedom of Information Act requests have led to turning over e-mails that detail significant collusion between the Environmental Protection Agency and green activist groups over the climate agenda. The Energy and Environment Legal Institute (E&E Legal) released a report on Monday based on an analysis of dozens of e-mails received under FOIA requests, all of which pointed to a collusive relationship between senior activists and the EPA. The revelations are sure to raise questions on the legality of EPA rules.
Pro-marijuana advocates are looking to bring about significant change in the United States this November, hoping to capitalize on the recent successes in Colorado and Washington. In Florida, voters will be casting ballots on a measure that would approve medical marijuana.
Perhaps "The Common Sense" state would be a more appropriate sobriquet for Missouri with its lawmakers' override of the governor's veto of a common sense bill protecting Second Amendment rights.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on September 8 that the committee's long-awaited report detailing the CIA's use of harsh interrogation techniques that some critics have described as "torture" will not be released this week.
Gun control laws may not in theory be inherently racist, but they have consistently served racist goals throughout American history.

As I said earlier, during my absence from Cultured Palate, a lot has happened. So, I would like to introduce you to our new family milk cow. She is 1/2 Brown Swiss and 1/2 Jersey. The problem is the spelling of her name!
How would you spell it? Hilde, Hildie or Hildy?
My preferred spelling is "Hilde"!
So, while our family disagrees (playfully of course) about the spelling, everyone agrees that Hilde is possibly the best family milk cow we have ever had!

I just got out of prison after 10 years and looking for a hookup or two. Let me know if you are interested. My name is Jonathan BTW
+10 for putting the whole "I'm an ex-con" thing right out front. Points for not burying the lead.
+6 for a convicted criminal — a convicted criminal who spent a decade in jail, which means he was sentenced for a lot longer than that, which means he probably did something relatively serious — looking for "a hookup or two" with a stranger. What could possibly go wrong? Definitely meet him in an a deserted alleyway, because this whole idea seems totally safe.
+4 for "BTW" here's my name. Cool. The one normal thing in your message and you act like it's an afterthought.
+2 because has this ever worked? Even women who are like "I like bad boys" are probably thinking more along the lines of "motorcycle" than "potentially violent criminal who has spent ten years behind bars." But I give him credit for honesty, I suppose.

This is a nice light cake that goes very well with fresh fruit. I could not find a reduced-fat cake mix, so I used a reduced sugar one instead and followed directions for the cake exactly. The cake was nice and light, but it really needs the fruit sauce to make it something special. I did not have raspberries, so I made a sauce on the stove with diced fresh strawberries (in season now), sugar and orange juice heated on the stove.

ICTP is an institution that is run by scientists for scientists.
The Centre supports research groups in several areas of physical
sciences and mathematics, organized as follows.
The bulk of the research at the Centre is carried out by the staff of these scientific sections and their consultants, long-term and short-term visitors engaged in independent or collaborative research, a relatively large cadre of post-doctoral fellows, as well as the Associates. The scientific sections are also responsible for organizing high-level training courses, workshops, conferences and topical meetings throughout the year.
The High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section studies some of the most exciting areas in physics today, from string theory to physics at large energy colliders, from neutrino phenomenology to alternative cosmologies.
The Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics (CMSP) section investigates the physics of disordered, mesoscopic and strongly correlated electron systems, and electronic structure and condensed matter computer simulations, as well as statistical mechanics and applications.
The Mathematics section is mainly oriented towards geometry and analysis. It has played an important role in fostering mathematics research and education in developing countries.
The Earth System Physics (ESP) section studies a wide spectrum of the Earth system, from its fluid components (oceans and the atmosphere) to the planet's interior.
ICTP's diverse Applied Physics section encompasses areas of research that respond to the most critical needs of the ICTP scientific community.
New Areas
ICTP's three new research areas could have significant interdisciplinary research potential, especially in their possible impact on developing countries.

It has been months since I've posted anything, let alone been on tumblr. So much has happened since then thought. Senior year has started. Friendships have thrived, others lost. Decided to give tennis a shot. I turned out decent. School has me under a lot of stress though I think it's mostly my self caused senioritis. Only a few more moths now…got accepted to Williams college so i know where I am headed. Started a relationship with my best friend. We kind of grew into it. It feels perfect. Life is turning around for me…for the better.
You're sitting in class, doing your work, and getting the answers correct like
And then you hear someone yell out the wrong answer, and you're like
"It's LeviOsa, not LeviosAR!"
You can either stand there and go along with life and always wonder what if…Or…You can give an effort to do something special, leave a mark. Yeah its the ideal view in the world, everyone wants to leave a mark. But nothing ever gets better on its own, so stop pretending to be a disapointment. Everyone has their ups and downs but it is up to that individual to decide in which direction to take them. Do what you think you want to do, but make sure that by the time that last streak of light hits your eyes you are proud of what you have done during your lifetime…
Have I changed? I feel like I have. but then….then there are moments when i'm tired and stressed out that I feel like the same old person, the lonely,depressed one. Idk anymore, maybe i dont care anymore really. Im just tired…of everything. Maybe May is right in believing that the US will end soon. hmm. Ill stay, and face whatever comes. If I die, I die. Things keep on going without me. Maybe itll be a better place. Im glad I met some people though, at least I learned a few things about human nature before I leave.
I took a 2 hour nap. An escape. A sanctuary. For those 2 hours I was not just some person wandering earth, but an individual free from pressure and sadness. For those two hours i felt like i was living. I liked it…
I might not care anymore. I don't really know myself. I'm tired. Tired of doing the same things everyday. Tired of life. Each day i move on slowly through life. Starting to feel more like a drag than something worth looking forward to. I feel like I've changed some though. In the preceding weeks I feel different, not the same kid anymore. who knows if I am any different? I have found out that people do care and some even understand. They're out there, just have to find them. Hmm. I'm just waiting for something special to happen now. Something that maybe, just maybe, will make life worth living for now.

Excellent day pack!
December 20, 2009
With a 100oz. of water and room for lunch, snacks, and your survival gear, this is a perfect pack for day hikes or longer rides. The N.V.I.S. back panel does a great job of preventing perspiration build up. The rear compartment panel floats providing room to stuff a jacket or helmet. Build quality is excellent. Highly recommended. Received very fast from Altrec.com.
Outstanding day pack / mountain bike pack
July 26, 2010
Excellent design, balances well over uneven terrain. Water bladder a must for any hike, whether short or long. High quality construction is uniform throughout the pack.
poppas got a brand new bag

The HAWG Camelbac pack has a waist strap and a chest strap, and contours very nicely to your body, so it can be snugged tight enough to not shift out of place when you shift off your saddle and fly thru the air, staying nicely in place to cushion your fall, should you be agile enough to twist so you land on your back. Lots of room for cushioning clothes, good zippers, lots of pockets. A fine product.

Another great and well made item from Camelbak. Has enough space for a day excursion, removable hydration pack, well constructed back support and vent pads. It is comfortable to use and carry.
Great 3L Epic MTB Ride Tool
May 10, 2012
I purchased this bag after my 2L bag left me dry on a 25 mile back country MTB ride by myself. After riding 10 miles with no water I decided I needed more water and gear. I purchased this bag last year and rode a whole season on it. I love it and would always recommend it. You can take almost anything you want, the only problem is that I tend to find old food stuffed somewhere because there is so much storage. If you are doubtful of this purchase do not be just buy it and enjoy. If you are watching weight why are you looking at a 3L bag called the hawg anyway!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: food goes bad due to so much space
Send me another one!

I purchased this for my husband as an anniversary gift. He has used it and loves it so much he has ordered one for me! He loves the air flow in the back and straps. He couldn't be happier with the size and all the accessible sections it has.

Is Philosophy dead?
Was it buried beneath pragmatic scientific discourse? Stabbed through the heart by the stake of probability. Is there any room for conjecture in the button down business of modern scientific thought? In the world of proof, what is the point of pondering?
I sometimes chuckle and think philosophers and theologians are off in a corner somewhere playing chess, while the scientific community is haphazardly reinventing our reality.
Is there truth in the evident, or are we chasing our own tail?

Oct 6 2013: Philosophy is science and science still is philosophy.What we dont understand is that the modern science we pride ourselves with because of its credibility and its wide range of applicability is nothing but an extension of philosophy.
I dont believe that philosophers are people with white flowing beards who sip tea and play chess and occassionaly stare at the sky.Every person is a philosopher and his philosophy is his 'science',which has been tested an applied in his realm of reality.so as long as sane human beings exist and they think,philosophy will live on.

Google's Chief Economist Hal Varian on Statistics and Data
I keep saying the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians. People think I'm joking, but who would've guessed that computer engineers would've been the sexy job of the 1990s?Hal Varian, The McKinsey Quarterly, January 2009
Varian then goes on to say:
The ability to take data - to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it's going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades, not only at the professional level but even at the educational level for elementary school kids, for high school kids, for college kids. Because now we really do have essentially free and ubiquitous data. So the complimentary scarce factor is the ability to understand that data and extract value from it.
I think statisticians are part of it, but it's just a part. You also want to be able to visualize the data, communicate the data, and utilize it effectively. But I do think those skills - of being able to access, understand, and communicate the insights you get from data analysis - are going to be extremely important. Managers need to be able to access and understand the data themselves.
Wait a minute. Is this a pitch for FlowingData? I think so :). Check out the full article for more (or listen to the podcast). It's an interesting read.

Just wanted to pop my head up to say your blog is one of the most insightful, useful and interesting of the over 100 that I follow. I have trimmed my blog reading to 100 from about 340 and I am sure FlowingData will make the top 10 list.
Great work and kudos.

What the hell is with amazing bull shit before the episode was even release
Hmm… Continuing to give them harder and harder missions while they are failing them all… Seems like a sure thing. Seriously, why did they hire such morons to work at the helm? The kids fail these increasingly difficult missions because they are not prepared enough to do them. And erasing their memories, that is just messed up.
Also, "Team Doberman" sounds like something that is ready for a fight, unlike "team rabbits".

1962: The Beatles release first single
During 1962 The Beatles had recorded fifteen songs and auditioned for various record labels under Epstein's management. After being rejected by every major record label in the UK, they were finally signed by Parlophone's George Martin, who recommended a new drummer to replace Pete Best - Ringo Starr.
In September 1962, the band's lineup was complete as they recorded their first hit Love Me Do, which charted in the UK and reached the top of the US singles chart.

Steve Gaucher from Wine Adventures dropped off some samples that M., Irish T and I went through Monday:
Emile Boeckel Brut Blanc de Blancs Cremant d'Alsace NV. Grade=Meh. Has some hints of apple pie, lemon/lime and mineral but turns to a scorched apple turnover from McDonald's in the glass.
Boeckel Pinot Gris Alsace 2011. Grade=Okay. Notes of Lemonheads®, dandelion greens and burnt lemongrass with a bit of petrol on the finish.
Boeckel Pinot Blanc Reserve 2010. Grade=Good. Lean mineral notes with hints of acacia, lime, honeydew and blanched almonds.
Boeckel Riesling Alsace 2011. Grade=Good. Perfumy with crisp pear, lime, lemon peel and mineral. I like this but it's not for everybody.
Boeckel Riesling Wiebelsberg Grand Cru 2009. Grade=Very Good. Citrus notes followed up by passionfruit, gravel, flint and golden cherries. Very nice.
Boeckel Gewurtztraminer Alsace 2011. Grade=Very Good. Floral in the nose with lychee, petrol, mineral and lime notes.
Marrenon Chardonnay Viognier Private Gallery Terroir d'Altitude 2011. Grade=Meh. Has a strange herbal character mixed up with lemon, quince and petrol.
Marrenon Grande Touque Luberon Blanc 2011. Grade=Okay. White flower, chalk, lime peel, almond paste and white grapefruit.
Domaine Pierre Fil Le Fil Rouge Pays d'OC 2011. Grade=Very Good. Red flowers, cherries, mulberry, and earth notes – a pretty decent quaff.
Domaine Tour Boisee Cabernet Sauvignon Ma Vigne 2011. Grade=Very Good. Candied black fruits, pepper, cocoa, this is a fleshy, Cali-styled Cab from France.
Domaine Tour Boisee Superbe Mariage Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon France 2011. Grade=Meh. Bitter fruit, blood orange, twigs and an odd dash of dried basil. Just weird.

Warriors playmaker Shaun Johnson will play in the All Stars match after Melbourne Storm's Cooper Cronk pulled out with an injury.
Cronk, the 2012 premiership-winning halfback, pulled out of the NRL All Stars side for the match against the Indigenous All Stars on February 9 with a back complaint.
Cronk's position as Wayne Bennett's 'coach's pick' in the NRL All Stars side has been taken by 22-year-old Johnson.
"It's all a bit surreal for me at the moment," Johnson said.
"It's exciting and I'm really looking forward to the opportunity of playing alongside so many quality players as well as being in a side coached by Wayne Bennett.
"It's a massive honour."
Johnson is the third Warrior to feature in the match, joining Feleti Mateo on the bench while new recruit Dane Nielsen was a coach's pick by Indigenous All Stars coach Laurie Daley.
Meanwhile, Melbourne are confident Cooper Cronk will be fit for the World Club Challenge despite his withdrawal from the match.
The Storm play Super League champions Leeds at Headingley on February 22.
Club medical staff said he would sit out training for five to seven days in the hope of being fit to face Leeds.

Two players from the Utah State football team are facing separate legal troubles that landed them both in court early this week.
Senior receiver Ronald Butler, 22, was arrested Sunday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. He appeared in Logan City Justice Court for the first time Tuesday to answer to two misdemeanor charges. If convicted, Butler could face up to 9 months in jail.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Junior receiver Bruce Natson, 19, known around the team as "Jojo," was in court Monday for a Class A misdemeanor theft charge. The player was assigned a lawyer and is scheduled to be back in 1st District Court on Aug. 4 for a pretrial conference. Natson, who was charged in April, could face up to a year in jail if convicted.
According to charging documents, police arrested Butler and booked him into Cache County Jail early Sunday before he was released on a $1,490 bond. He faces two charges: a Class B misdemeanor DUI and a Class C misdemeanor improper lane usage. Butler is scheduled to be back in court on July 22 for an arraignment.
Natson was charged in April with theft for allegedly taking money out of a bank account and improperly putting it into his own in late February, said Don Linton, the Chief Deputy at the Cache County Attorney's Office.
The Logan Hearld Journal reported that University Police believe the money, between $500 and $1,500, was intended for a Utah State teammate. Together, Butler and Natson comprise a large chunk of the Aggies' returning offensive production. Natson is the leading returning receiver from last season, catching 59 passes for 395 yards and two touchdowns while also returning two punts for touchdowns. Butler caught 24 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns.
The Utah State athletics department declined to comment on the charges. Officials from Logan City Police were not immediately available.

Dallas Crawford didnt want to get the starting job this way. But now that he has it, he intends to make Duke Johnson proud.
It was devastating to lose Duke, Crawford said Monday, two days after the Hurricanes lost the nations fourth-ranked all-purpose player, 10th-ranked kickoff returner and 14th most prolific rusher to a broken ankle at Florida State. He was running so well against a great defense and having a great year. We still havent really grasped what happened yet in the running-backs room.
Im glad Im getting the opportunity to start, but I hate that it has to be this way. Id rather have Duke here, but its the next-man-up mentality. Youve got to be ready.
Johnson will undergo surgery as soon as the swelling subsides enough, UM coach Al Golden said Monday. Hes in great spirits, and I know he is thankful for all the well wishes because thats the kind of kid he is.
Johnson finished his sophomore season with 920 yards and six touchdowns on 145 carries for a 6.3 yards-per-carry average. He had 1,393 all-purpose yards, and he averaged 28.3 yards per kickoff return.
Before he got hurt Saturday late in the third quarter, Johnson had rushed for 97 yards.
Now he will be replaced by a three-headed running-back attack for the home game Saturday against Virginia Tech (6-3, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference): Crawford, senior Eduardo Clements and freshman Gus Edwards with Crawford ready to take the starring role.
Johnsons three backups at UM (7-1, 3-1) have run for a combined 605 yards on 116 carries, a 5.2 yards-per-carry average.
Freshman Walter Tucker, a backup fullback to starter Maurice Hagens, also will be getting some carries at tailback during practice just so were covered, Golden said.
Golden was asked Monday if the 2012 Freshman All-American and ACC Rookie of the Year would be back by spring practice.
Portis influence
I think hes going to be back sooner than later, the coach said. Hes just got to go through this process. Hell have a great attitude. Were going to try like heck to get him stronger and really work on his nutrition and his weight gain. I know Clinton Portis is one of the guys who talked to him about that.
Former Hurricanes great Portis, now a media member with ACC Digital, already did his magic with Crawford on Oct. 17 when he pulled aside Crawford with 4 minutes 11 seconds left in the game at North Carolina and UM trailing 23-20.
Johnson had been knocked out of that game with a head injury midway through the first quarter.
This is your moment, Portis said he told Crawford just seconds before the Canes took over from their own 10-yard line. Heres the chance youve been waiting for.
Duke is out of the game, and hes got to ride on you.
Crawford, who entered the season with 23 career rushing yards, not only finished the night with 137 yards on 33 carries, he also scored the winning touchdown with 16 seconds left to lead the Hurricanes to a 27-23 victory.
Nine rushing TDs
The 5-10, 194-pound sophomore now has 294 yards on 67 carries for a 4.4 yards-per-carry average. His nine rushing touchdowns rank 28th nationally. He also has a receiving touchdown.
According to UM, Crawford is averaging a touchdown every 7.5 offensive touches.
Its unfortunate what happened to Duke, UM offensive coordinator James Coley said, but Im looking forward to seeing Dallas in this role because he does so much for this team.
He was a big part of us winning that [North Carolina] game.
Enthused tweets
Clements, who has 126 yards on 20 carries this season after returning from offseason surgery to repair two herniated disks in his neck, wasnt available for interviews Monday. But he posted enough entries on Twitter to reflect his intensity.
All I Ever Wanted Was A Chance, Clements tweeted. I Got People That [Are] Depending On Me & I Cant Give Up!
And this: Long As I Got Air In My Lungs Im Grinding!
Crawford called Clements a strong downhill runner who is always going to keep his legs moving forward and is great in pass protection. I dont think theres a blitz that can get him.
But it might be the young Edwards, 6-2 and 225 pounds, who surprises everyone. Edwards, has had only one carry in the past four games but ran for 113 yards on 12 carries against Savannah State and 53 yards on 10 carries against USF.
Hes got deceptive speed, Golden said. Hes a big back that can play fast. ... Gus is ready for this now, and hes definitely going to be carrying the ball for us Saturday.

The support of the Marfa TX community for my father's battle with cancer is nothing short of completely amazing.
Last Saturday there was not one, but two benefit concerts in this tiny little place, which raised about $1800 for his medical costs. (Like many Americans, and certainly like many American artists, he has zero health insurance…) That and they partied their muthafuckin' asses off!
Big love to the Marfa crew for this and so much more! If you want to read more about the situation, click here.
father marfa marfa texas personal
Near the end of my trip to Chile, I was informed that my father Steve is in the hospital with cancer. We have always been very close, and I am certain this wandering, mongrel-dog artist lifestyle I lead is due to his example. Realizing that someone I have respected so much my entire life is still a mere mortal came as a deep shock. My greatest wish for 2014 is that I can wander the desert like a mad fool with him again when he is well.
