The FBI has now said the body discovered today in an SUV in Chicago is "believed to be" that of Julian King, Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew.
Chicago cops have not yet commented.
It is worth noting -- the Amber Alert for Julian has been called off.
Daily Mail? Haaa haaa....no thanks I got my information from valid educational resources. Go do some research. Learn something. People from Australia and Europe are talking about us Americans make fun of the fact that our gun laws are so screwed up. They are completely shocked when they hear about the outrageous things that go on here in our country because they never see anything like that because they aren't idiots like some of you who think the answer is to put a gun into anyone's hand. The boy that shot up everyone in Virginia Tech went right into a store and after half an hour was able to get a gun just like that. Then we get the biggest school tragedy ever. Think about it people. No wonder they call us Americans stupid because some of us just don't get it.
This is a horrible tragic act of violence. Why would you bring a criminal into your home like this? He may not be Julian Kings father, but that is hardly the point. No need to say things to hurt the family anymore than they are hurting already. STILL I hope some people think twice about getting involved with a criminal. I mean if they were in prison for drugs they would snort a pill off your coffee table, robbery they will take your belongings too, molestation will end in molestation, and attemted murder means that they are dangerous. They can murder you and or your whole family. Ladies&Gentlemen keep dangerous people out of your homes. If not for your safety then for everyone else!!!!!
Terrible, terrible news. My heart goes out to the family. We need to be careful of those we bring into our lives.
Dear JaneBird,
Stop bumping your gums and Move to England. Stop breathing our American Air. Prayers to the Hudson family, God Bless You...
Umm..Janebird..Obama is pro guns too..
TMZ Please remove the senseless and hutrful remarks made by Amy # 9. It is obvious that she has no feelings or heart. sounds like a pig to me
All you people who keep saying that Julia brought this to the family... did you not hear that Balfour has been known by the family for a long time? Julia herself has in her myspace that Jennifer and her husband were childhood playmates! And to top it off people can change and no one could have predicted that when Julia married him the family would be involved in this tragic situation. All the people that keep saying this is the fault of Julia need to take a look at the people they have dated. I fully agree with the person who asked "did you do a background check on your mate?" (#12).
To say that marrying him brought this on the family (especially when you are uninformed as we all are because we don't all know the family personally or know everything that transpired) is ignorant and you should just keep your mouth shut!
this is a sad situation that no child should have to suffer. There's not getting around that. But it happened and now we need to wait and see what happens and who was actually involved before jumping to conclusions! We all know nothing at this point except for what has been speculated!
also ladies don't get yourself mixed up with criminals and bring them around your children. I don't care how desperate, lonely and insecure you are, or if you think it's cool to have a thug for a man, as it's often glorified in hip hop. This is the type of consequences that happen. That poor little boy. My heart just breaks.
Also Janebird, no one has said he was shot..Maybe the feds need to knock on your door.
SJ #48, I am extremely sorry for your loss. :( I can't imagine what you went through and are going through. I guess it just goes to show that you never know what it's like for anyone else unless you walk in their shoes.
How much stricter is access to cocaine and other drugs and guess what, people still get them - Ever heard of smuggling? So we make stricter laws for access to guns in the US and the thugs will get them illegally and the law abiding citizen just hopes for the best because now they have no means to defend themselves.
I bet if you were in a bank or mall and some thug came in to rob and kill you with his illegally owned, smuggled into the country by othe thugs/criminlas and a legal gun owner was there and saved your life would you still want "stricter access?"
#53: I completely agree with everything you just said.
Dale he's pro-gun CONTROL. Do your research man. You are clearly uninformed. He has supported several gun control measures meanwhile Palin and the republican hunters out there don't care one bit about gun control. They see it as a community problem. True he's not 100% no guns in the country at all, that's not what I'm saying. But he has fought for gun control absolutely.
Some people just amaze me - what has the weight of the little boy to do with him being murdered? I feel - almost - sorry for these morons. Living in Chicago? No way! Chicago had 400 homicides so far this year, I guess it's 401 now and easily beat Los Angeles and NY, which are much, much larger cities. Fire the major and his police chief to get some peace and quiet there.

According to Ken Davidoff in the New York Post, the Mets like free agent shortstop Jhonny Peralta "a lot." Writes Davidoff:
I hear the Mets like him a lot. He's a good bat, which they of course desperately need; he plays shortstop adequately; he's durable; he has a good clubhouse reputation, despite his Biogenesis involvement; and he won't cost a draft pick as compensation because the Tigers didn't make him a qualifying offer on Monday.
Peralta, 31, had a triple slash of .303/.358/.457 in 448 plate appearances over 107 games during the 2013 season for Detroit. He missed 50 games due to his Biogenesis related suspension.
Due to the poor production they got from the shortstop position last year, if the Mets sign either Peralta or fellow free agent Stephen Drew, their shortstop situation should be improved significantly heading into 2014.
Like Nelson Cruz, there should be some worry about how much of Peralta's numbers were inflated by his use of PED's. However, he isn't someone who lives off his power (like Cruz), and an interested club may be able to snag him for two guaranteed years.
I'd prefer Drew, but Peralta would be a solid option as well.

Tamar Braxton is pregnant with her first child, she confirmed on Good Morning America Wednesday.
Braxton Family Values, Tamar Braxton
Anyone who's seen Braxton Family Values (Tuesdays at 9/8c on We) knows that the littlest Braxton sister, Tamar, needs no introduction, but if she did, it would most certainly include the words "dot com." The mouthy singer, who regularly adds Internet extensions to her speech for emphasis, talked to us about Braxton family candor, playing to the camera and why she's actually on a "dot-com diet." (How many Weight Watchers points are in a medium "dot org," anyway?)
Your sister Toni told me that this show was your idea. Was it a result of you merely looking around at your family and taking note of all the great material in front of you?Tamar Braxton: It was actually at Thanksgiving dinner. I was watching everybody and I just knew it had to be on TV...

Customers for Life
Identifying and reaching out to customers is a challenge that businesses face on a regular basis. But what about retaining customers – for life? A plumber in Missouri, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, uses a "front of the line" program for regular customers – meaning that in the dead of winter, if your pipes freeze, you won't have to wonder when you'll be able to get a plumber out. In a recent article on MSN's Business on Main page, Keeping Customers for Life, companies like Benjamin Franklin Plumbing are used as a model for how to grow and retain your long-term customer base.
Here are some key steps used by companies like Southwest, ED Foods, and Crucial Technology:
- Delivery what you say you're going to
- Expect the best
- From there, go beyond the usual
- Watch your customer, not your bottom line
- Nurture lifelong employees
- Make customers want to stick around
- Be picky about your lifelong customers
Customers truly are the heart of any business – we simply wouldn't exist without them, so remember: treat them well, and your company will be treated well in return!

No, I'm not in "the gay lifestyle." Neither is anyone else.
A few days ago, I was reading a Christian news article about gay people, and I came across this statement:
There are those who are struggling with same-sex attraction and are trying to not act on that and then there are those who are celebrating it, who are intentionally living that lifestyle and feeling accepted by God.
I hear stuff like this all the time. And there are a number of things about this statement that I want to examine, but today, let's just look at the word "lifestyle."
I. Hate. This. Word. I hate it soooo much, it—well, just ask Mrs. White. (Spoiler alert from the movie Clue.)
Don't worry; if you accidentally say "gay lifestyle" around me, I'm not going to be mad at you or anything. I'm used to hearing it all the time from my fellow Christians. But it does irritate a lot of gay people, and I want to encourage you to find other words to express what you really mean.
Here's why.
Stop for a moment and imagine what a "gay lifestyle" would be like. Just close your eyes and—well, wait, don't close your eyes if you're reading this. But stop and think about what kind of images the phrase "gay lifestyle" conjures up for you. What does a "gay lifestyle" entail? How would someone living a "gay lifestyle" live?
What does that person look like? What are their primary interests? How do they spend their time?
Got your image? Now keep reading.
I don't know about you, but most people seem to imagine a man—it's usually a man unless a woman was specified—who spends his time working out, partying at gay nightclubs, drinking fruity alcoholic beverages, and seeking out numerous sexual partners who live similar lives.
This imaginary gay man's life revolves almost entirely around sex: He has to work out and obsess over his appearance in order to attract sexual partners, whom he meets at the sexually-charged nightclubs where he dances with his shirt off—or perhaps in seedier locations like public restrooms or parks. But because both he and the other guy are always looking for the next hot sex partner, any "relationship" they might form is only a sham at its core, destined to fall apart as they age or when someone hotter comes along.
The one thing that gets this imaginary gay man really angry is when people try to suggest that his lifestyle is unhealthy. He rails against such suggestions, protesting and becoming politically active, but only in his own self-interest. Ultimately, it's all about his sexual pleasure.
When most people describe a "gay lifestyle," that's the picture they paint.
Yes, that is a "lifestyle." It's a lifestyle of sexual addiction and escapism. And because it's founded on self-centered pleasure-seeking rather than anything substantial (family, faith, the good of others, etc.), it's ultimately hollow. It's not sustainable, either; one day, that perfect body isn't so perfect anymore. If your whole life has been built on nothing but sex and personal pleasure-seeking, what do you have to offer anyone else as you age?
So yes, it's a lifestyle, but it's not "the gay lifestyle." It's a stereotype.
Like most stereotypes, of course, there is a nugget of truth to it; I do know gay men who live that way. In fact, a number of the most prominent "ex-gay" leaders say they used to live that kind of lifestyle. In their minds, that really is "the gay lifestyle," which is how they justify telling people that they're no longer "gay" just because they stopped living that way—even though they're still attracted to the same sex.
But see, there are also many straight people who live promiscuous lives based on sex and pleasure-seeking, and yet we would never call theirs a "straight lifestyle." Why? Because we know that they don't represent all straight people. They are a subset of straight people.
And the same is true for gay people. Not all gay people are male, for starters; there are plenty of gay women. Not all gay people drink, or go to clubs, or are self-centered, or like to dance, or work out, or are promiscuous, or even have sex at all. We're all really different from each other.
So it's frustrating that even gay-friendly comedians and entertainment media tend to re-use the joke that being gay means living a sex-and-party lifestyle. Yeah, I can laugh at the jokes too, but it's really a harmful stereotype.
Being gay just means that some of us are attracted to the same sex and not the opposite sex. Some of us respond by being celibate; some eventually find someone to fall in love and settle down with. We live many different lifestyles, from monks to partiers.
There is no "gay lifestyle." And when people use that phrase, however well-intentioned they may be, it reduces us to a stereotype. And that's why we don't like it.

Pingback by Voice of Melanesia — December 2, 2012 @ 8:33 pm
The arrest of Victor Yeimo and his friends reminds me very much of the staged attempt to escape od Arnold Ap and Eduard Mofu in 1984, who were murdered by the Indonesian elite regiment Kopassus. THeys Eluay also was kidnapped and murdered. For the Papuans with the ongoing military operations, there is no room for free speech end expression of their political aspirations, while the Act of Free Choice inb 1969 has been fraudulous, see book prof Piet Droogleever on this subject.

Bakersfield Food Champ: The Reason I CookFri 13 Dec 2013
Story by Kurt F. Kline
The reason I became a Food Champion is a very short story, however the reason I became a chef is much more convoluted. I did not have a Mother who wanted me by her side in the kitchen as a child. Frankly the kitchen was very small and there were ten kids in my family. And in those days, my mother considered it her role to make the meals. She fed us and took care of us but we stayed out of the kitchen� until I was twelve and my mother asked me to cook the Thanksgiving meal.
She was pregnant and near term and physically she just couldn�t do the heavy lifting required by the turkey, etc. So it fell on me to make the dinner for eight children, and my mother and father. My father never cooked. So that was the start of my cooking career. Thanksgiving dinner is a voluminous meal but it usually does not require sophisticated recipes and techniques.
Because there were so many kids, my mother cooked high carbohydrate meals, with small amounts of protein. Although we almost always had an iceberg lettuce salad, as a result of those early food habits almost all of my siblings were significantly over-weight by the time they were adults. They had heart disease, high blood pressure and most had diabetes and that included me. My father died of heart disease when he was 64, my mother when she was 82. So I had to look seriously at myself and how and what I was eating.
In 1981 my wife had an early version of weight loss surgery and when I spoke to her doctor he told me she could only eat eight bites per meal. I looked at her and told her that if she could only eat eight bites I wanted them to be great eight bites. Each bite had to provide nutritional value as well as great taste. I had to become a better cook. So for the next 25 years I cooked great small bites food dishes for her. But I wasn�t paying attention to me. In 2006 I had a heart attack and a double bypass, however I still weighed 300 pounds. So in 2008 I had a gastrectomy in order to lose the excess weight. I lost 135 pounds in a year. At the same time I was cooking as a chef in Italy and making lots of interesting Italian specialty dishes from Tuscany and Umbria. I realized that most of the dishes were primarily vegetarian and were quite nutritional as well as attractive and tasty. I began a blog, Eight Bites, about my weight loss experiences and tried to incorporate recipes and experiences to demonstrate that just because you had weight loss surgery, you did not have to be relegated to a life eating boring food. I also have a cooking website which discusses my cooking philosophy and ideas.
I wanted to take this philosophy of portion controlled eating back to the U.S. and teach kids to cook. That was my goal and for the last three years I have been focused on developing a cooking program for kids that incorporated skills development, food tasting and quantity control. Most of all I wanted the kids to enjoy the cooking experience and have fun while learning. When I saw the Big Rig at the Kern County Fair I spoke with the folks there and decided to send in my contact information and subsequently go through the training to become a local Food Champion. I really wanted to teach kids and I feel that this approach will make that possible.
About the author: Kurt F. Kline Ph.D had a 35 year career in ecological sciences and studies, including owning and running a toxicology laboratory for 18 years. Kurt has spent a significant amount of time studying nutritional physiology and brings a strong scientific capability to his cooking. Kurt has been cooking as a personal chef for over thirty years and is currently working on a cookbook focusing on the creation of great tasting foods for people who have had weight loss surgery.

Are you a "pre-crastinator?" A recent study suggests that there may be a bias towards completing simple tasks sooner than is strictly necessary in order to avoid having to remember to do them later. In this series of experiments, subjects were asked to choose one of two buckets to carry to the end of a corridor (see inset schematic-layout). The experimenters varied the relative distance of the two buckets from their destination: sometimes the two were equally far, but more often one was closer to the end than the other. Intuitively, one might expect that people would opt to carry the bucket a shorter distance, meaning they'd select the bucket closer to the end, farther from themselves. However, what the graph below shows is that people were generally biased towards picking a bucket that was closer to them along the corridor, and farther from the end. The graph indicates the probability of selecting the right-hand bucket as a function of the relative distances of both buckets; to the left of the vertical dashed line, the left-hand bucket is closer to the subject's starting position (and farther from the end of the corridor), and to the right of the dashed line the right-hand bucket is closer. One way of looking at this data is to focus on the data points to the right of the dashed line: there we can see that despite the left-hand bucket being nearer to the end of the corridor, subjects chose the right-hand bucket more than 50% of the time (horizontal dashed line), requiring them to carry the bucket further on average. Thus, people in this study tend to work a bit harder, just to get the job of making a choice out of the way a bit sooner. #science #psychology #precrastination http://pss.sagepub.com/content/25/7/1487

Sleeping in a cold room (19 Celsius / 66 Fahrenheit) can increase #metabolism and #insulin sensitivity. Researchers had volunteers sleep and eat in a controlled environment for 4 months. In each months, the ambient temperature of their sleeping quarters was kept constant. The sequence of temperatures was: 24C-19C-24C-27C. Seeping in the 19C room had the effects described above, which were abolished by sleeping in the 24C room. #Science #Diabetes http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2014/06/18/db14-0513

Is it better to be from a family with many children or few? Which results in more successful kids? Does it matter if the family is well off? What about long-term effects: do children from big families have more children than those from small? Perhaps children in small wealthy families eventually produce the biggest broods? These questions, regarding the interactions of family size, socioeconomic position (SEP), individual success and reproductive success are complex and fascinating grist for the imagination mill. This study of 14,000 Swedes and their descendents has found that family size among high "SEP" individuals is a strong predictor of descendent SEP: smaller families result in higher SEP descendents. Not so among low SEP families. The graph shows one of many variables (probability of entering university) which track SEP in descendants.However, the interaction between family size and SEP had no effect on reproductive success! Regardless of origin (high/low SEP x large/small family), average number of descendents was the same.#Science #rspb

Writing Process Blog Tour – Elizabeth Heller, PhD
My friend James Herman invited me to join the writing process blog tour. James and I have been friends for almost two decades, and have recently become scientific collaborators in our shared field of neuroscience. As a scientist, most of my current writing aims to disseminate my work through the publication of primary research articles. To this end, I was fortunate to receive an education that provided me with a strong foundation in concise prose. My sixth grade teacher taught how to construct an outline, and from this outline to craft an essay. The technique appealed to my natural sense of organization, and I have relied on it to this day. Throughout high school and college, I honed my writing and learned to include elaborate and symbolic language, and to formulate a thesis. I was fortunate to have guidance from my parents as well. My father, a chemist, is an excellent writer and poet, and he edited my essays and prose from an early age. In the ninth grade I wrote a research paper on tuberculosis for my introductory biology course. My father provided his medical dictionary to decipher the original research papers I used as source material. So impressed was my dad with the final product that he shared it with a colleague, the director of a tuberculosis research center, and encouraged him to let me join the lab. The director agreed (I worked on Staph, not TB) and my research career was launched. Today I am a postdoctoral fellow studying the molecular biology of drug addiction and depression, hoping to land an academic faculty position in the next year.
What am I working on:
I am currently crafting what is known as a Research Statement. This is a 2-3 page document that introduces my research background and future goals to a panel that will evaluate me as a candidate for an academic tenure-track research position. The market for such positions is tight and competitive, and the career statement intends to prove that I am a productive scientist, capable of generating data and securing funding. Furthermore, it should be clear that I have developed a unique scientific perspective and have crafted a plan that differs from that of my current and previous mentors.
It is a daunting task.
The Research Statement consists of an introductory paragraph that highlights the research accomplishments of the postdoctoral fellowship, and alludes to the main focus of the candidate's future research. Next is a concise description of previous work, both in graduate and undergraduate research, as well as work with collaborators. This shows a history of research productivity, a trajectory of scientific interest, as well as the ability to seek the expertise of other researchers. If possible, it is helpful to include representative data figures of recent work, since the panel reviewing the application consists of scientists that typically digest material through graphical representation (a thousand words…). These sections are peppered with allusions to awards and fellowships won, presentations at scientific meetings, and citations. For most applications it is important to include a section on teaching and mentorship, as these are critical aspects of the research career and often teaching is required for an academic post. At least one third to half of the statement is devoted to a detailed description of the plan for future research. Academic research is costly, and hiring committees have a commitment to select candidates that will be able to secure independent funding. The research statement is thus an opportunity to present a research plan that can be imagined as several successful grant applications.
So far, I have generated a 1-page research statement that I have submitted for some soft interviews, and a few applications to meetings. The sections on past and current research, as well as teaching, mentorship, and collaboration are relatively complete, but I am struggling with crafting a plan for future research. As I am still collecting data for my current project, and feel that I am just now confident in my expertise in this work, I have had a hard time thinking creatively about a new direction. I have two project ideas, but they are not comprehensive or unique enough to qualify as a research 'identify.' So where do new ideas come from? As with writing, reading helps. Diving into the current literature uncovers holes in our existing knowledge that often lead to interesting questions. I am working on reading and discussing ideas with my colleagues, to find inspiration.
How does my work differ from others of its genre:
Scientific writing is in general more concise than other forms of writing. This is due to word restrictions set by publishers, the use of figures instead of text to convey information, and the fact that scientists must consume a terrifying lot of literature to stay current. I tend to find concise writing appealing and natural, a gift I am grateful for in a profession for which I don't often feel I am a natural. The Research Statement is also a concise piece of prose and, as with research articles, each sentence has to pack in a considerable amount of meaning. One mentor advised me to imagine that it will be read by a search committee member on her mobile device, while walking from one seminar to another at a meeting. Concise writing requires greater clarity, as it lacks the opportunity to state one idea in several ways. Scientists are aided by writing primarily for other scientists in their field, and can thus rely on familiar composition and sentence structure to convey meaning. I find that it is the precision and formulaic nature of scientific prose that enables complex ideas to be stated with minimal language. This thrust towards similarity between my writing and that of others is what allows it to be read and digested while multitasking, i.e. most scientists fit in their reading while doing 8 other things.
Why do I write what I do:
The main mode of advancement in a research career is through the successful publication of original research articles. Typically I am engaged in some form of communication of my data, either through abstracts to be presented at scientific meetings or original articles to be submitted for publication. The publication process is lengthy, and I currently am in a phase of revision, in which I gather additional data to satisfy the requirements of scientists that have reviewed my recent submission and asked for additional data to determine if the manuscript is appropriate for publication. While I gather this data, the manuscript is on the back burner. Once this paper is published I will be "on the market," that is, I will seek and apply for an academic position as a tenure-track research faculty at either a medical center or a university. Hence my current focus on the Research Statement, described above.
As a scientist I am also required to write grant and award applications, in order to secure funding to continue my work. The structure of these differs from that of a research article, in that a grant application describes unpublished, preliminary data, with a focus on the intention for the work, rather than its successful completion. As a student and trainee, I have had only minimal experience with this type of writing, but as a faculty member my main focus will shift abruptly from designing experiments and gathering data, to writing grant applications.
How does my writing process work:
My writing process begins with outlining. For a research paper, after I have generated the figures, I outline the various sections (using the very technique I learned in sixth grade) and then fill in the outline with prose. I will spend the majority of the writing process developing and detailing the outline, as the prose will follow easily from this. A manuscript that describes four years of work in 2500 words requires the crafting of exquisitely precise sentences. I tend to craft sentences meditatively, either while jogging, showering, or working at the bench. I find that process delightful, and I will chew over a sentence for weeks before putting words to paper. Once I have a draft, I ask a few scientific peers for comments and edits. In addition to the co-authors, I ask for the edits of a colleague that is less familiar with the research. This is helpful, as it is often hard for me to assess clarity on work that I am so intimately familiar with. Next I share the manuscript with my mentor and other senior authors, and after their revisions I submit to a journal for publication.
I am fortunate to be a native English speaker and a naturally gifted writer that was educated with great emphasis on prose. This skill has been acknowledged by several of my scientific mentors and has aided me throughout my career. In fact, the reviewers of my current manuscript did not ask for any textual revisions. A welcome gift.
How does my writing process not work:
Procrastination. Writing is hard, publishing is harder, and I find that I am reticent to start the task. I will even delay making the figures, because I am so fearful of entering the review/revision/rejection cycle. Once I do begin, the process is quite pleasurable, as designing figures and writing prose is a complete departure from my typical lab grind, and relies on a different set of instincts and skills. I have procrastinated lately on completing my Research Statement, and have turned instead to looking for inspiration to mold my scientific identity and plan. I hope that as I continue my career, and have more success in publishing, my confidence will grow and I will not be as fearful of starting the writing process. In the mean time, I am grateful for this Writing Process Blog Tour. It has greased the prose wheels for me, and inspired me to keep at it.
Writing Process Blog Tour – jph
I was asked by my mother, Joanna Clapps Herman, a writer of fiction, a teacher or writing, and one of my main writing influences to contribute to this Writing Process Blog Tour. She and my late father William Herman (also a fiction writer and a professor of English) were always writing, our apartment was filled with it. From an early age, I conceived of writing as an important job, a task to be taken seriously, but also a source of joy, a labor of love, and at times a Sisyphean process. Naturally, writing became part of my life as well, though in a very different form than it had occupied in my parents'. I'm a neuroscientist, a post-doctoral fellow at the moment, and thus my writing is focused on the efficient communication of my research findings. It was very surprising to me to realize near the end of my PhD that I was pretty terrible at scientific writing. Having spent a great deal of time so close to my parents' efforts, and having also spent a great deal of time with them editing my own papers for school, I had come to the misguided conclusion that I was a marginally above average writer, and thus should be able to turn my modest skill into at least acceptable scientific writing. Now I have come to realize that it's truly a different genre entirely, and the expectation of translating general writing skill into science writing skill was misguided. Instead, I am trying to approach science writing as a new skill I am trying to acquire essentially from scratch. As such, at present, I am trying my best to follow the process favored by my lab head, Dr. Richard Krauzlis. What I present below is a window into my current efforts along those lines.
What am I working on:
Presently, I am working on a draft of a manuscript that I plan to submit for publication in a scientific journal. Along with another post-doctoral fellow and the head of my lab Dr. Richard Krauzlis – the paper's eventual co-authors – I conducted a series of experiments in human "psychophysics". This field is concerned with quantifying various aspects of human perception. For us, this involved asking several people to sit in a dark room staring at a computer monitor for several hours (cumulatively, not continuously) while we presented flickering patches of color that sometimes became more intensely colorful by degrees and asking them to report whether (under systematically varied conditions) they thought they had detected such an increase in intensity. Thus, we were (more specifically) studying color perception.
A successful neuroscientist will write several papers per year describing experiments they have completed. These papers go into journals that are ranked by "impact factor", a numerical value which attempts to quantify the average importance of the papers appearing in its pages, which generally comes down to counting how often other cite these works.
How does my work differ from others of its genre:
In practice, there is little room for distinction in terms of style of presentation in scientific writing. Almost all scientific papers have the same structure, they consist of (1) an Abstract – a brief summary of the work encapsulating the hypothesis, a whiff of background, and the work's main findings , (2) an Introduction – more expansive background, a contextualized presentation of the hypothesis (or hypotheses) being tested in the work, (3) a Methods section – a description of the procedures followed, equipment used, the nature of the test subjects, and any other relevant information regarding how the experiments were conducted, (4) a Results section – the actual data resulting from the experiments, (5) a Discussion section – a description of the relationship of the results to previous findings, and conclusions regarding the success of the experiments, as well as any plans for future follow-up studies. Some journals (particularly the ones with high impact factor) limit the number of words in these sections, which can be quite a challenge if your work is complex, which it nearly always is, forcing one to either artificially gloss over explanatory points that deserve more attention, or compress things in strange ways. Furthermore, it is expected that a certain dry style will be adhered to. This is serious business after all, and jokes have no place here!
However, one aspect that I try to focus on a great deal is the visual presentation of my data. I feel that too often, visual presentation in scientific papers is quite bland. I think this is a particularly grave error because the writing must be so technical and provides little opportunity to truly captivate the reader. In contrast, aesthetically appealing presentation of data is a chance to tantalize one's audience. A striking experimental result can easily be missed with poor presentation, and humdrum results can be made more appealing by presenting them in a way that is pleasing to the eye.
Why do I write what I do:
There are a few core reasons to write scientific papers: (1) you have to – the old chestnuts hold: "publishing is the lifeblood of the scientific community", "publish or perish". If you don't publish at least one paper a year, your fellow scientists will wonder what you have been doing if not working hard at writing up your results! Essentially every scientist lives in fear of become obscure or irrelevant because it will hurt their chances at getting grants, and without a grant, it is impossible to work because it is how they pay for every aspect of their extremely expensive work (graduate students salaries and tuition, technicians salaries, materials, equipment, et cetera). (2) You don't want to "get scooped". If you don't write the experimental results up and publish a paper, somebody else eventually will do the same experiment and write it up first, and then your paper is irrelevant and will have to go to a lower impact journal and then we end up back at the first point. (3) You're excited about the result and you want to tell the world! This is the most fun, and sadly the least common reason to write papers, but it does happen, and it keeps one invigorated about being a member of the scientific community.
How does my writing process work:
Here's the current process I'm using with the work I mentioned above.
Once all the experiments were completed, I spent several weeks to months analyzing the resulting data and generating a series of graphical representations (figures) of the trends present. This was an iterative process: initially I would present a graph I considered representative of some interesting aspect of the data to my co-authors for discussion. The outcome of that discussion could be (1) that we all liked the figure (graphic) and felt it displayed an important and relevant aspect of the data that needed to be included in the manuscript, (2) we realized it was garbage and should be discarded, (3) we disagreed and further more subtle analyses needed to be run in order to disambiguate between (1) & (2). After we had arrived at what we thought were the most important points to be communicated about our findings, I generated a series of final figures to be included in the paper.
From the final figures, I generated a series of one to two main points that I was communicating with each figure. The idea that Rich had given me was that these would serve as topic sentences for the results section.
Once I had my topic sentences, I went over them with Rich and we tweaked them a bit, shuffling, rewriting and perfecting them. I then expanded these into the full results section, which may sound somewhat robotic, but this was actually a nuanced moment because I needed to truly guide my reader through the data, easing them in and carrying them from one point to the next. Telling them a cohesive story that ended with a complete picture of what we had found.
With a draft of the results completed, I then turned to the introduction section. Since I now knew everything that I wanted to present to the reader, I could decide how much background information and framing was necessary to include in the introduction. The idea is that if I had written the introduction first, without knowing precisely which points I was going to make in the results and how I was going to link them together, it would be difficult to predict exactly what I should include in the introduction; perhaps I'd include too much on one part of the background or too little on another. This way, I could avoid including extraneous discussions of things not germane to the results I was presenting, and also write the introduction in such a way to make it lead into the (it is to be hoped) successfully crafted narrative I created in the results.
After the introduction draft, it was on to the discussion. A similar principle applies to the ordering of results first then introduction. Now that I have framed the story with the intro, and told it effectively in the results, I can bring it on home in the discussion section. I don't need to discuss every paper that has ever mentioned the topic of color, I only need to mention those that bear on the conclusions I want to make based on the results I've presented. If I want to conclude that human color perception is relatively poor when looking at purples and relatively good when looking at green hues, I should discuss any papers that have found the same or the opposite and why our results might agree or conflict. I might also discuss any papers that mention disparities in perception depending on hue as well, but I certainly don't need to discuss papers concerned with color perception under varying conditions of stress, as this is not relevant to my own work. The general principle at work in all of this so far is to tell an effective story and not be exhaustively presenting everything about the work, but rather to present only the details necessary to getting one's point across effectively.
Finally, I get to write perhaps the easiest section of the paper, a reward for all my hard work on the other sections, I've left the dessert for last. Again, I'm only going to include information on relevant details. Does it matter to my color perception study that the temperature of the room was 72 degrees? No! But it does matter that I used a particular type and brand of computer-display, and how I chose the colors and the temporal order of stimulus presentation definitely matters. All this goes in.
Now that I have a working draft, I submit it to my co-authors, and we then go through (if we are lucky) very few revisions amongst the three of us before we feel we are ready to submit the article to a journal. We choose a journal that we think is appropriate for the paper in terms of (1) audience, (2) impact factor relative to the importance of the result, and (3) probability of the paper being accepted. There's no formal calculation here, just heuristics.
Once the paper is submitted, one of several editors that work for the journal will receive the manuscript and choose reviewers for it. These will be people who probably have some degree of expertise in the field covered in the paper. Those reviewers will read the manuscript, make comments, and send them back to the editor with a recommendation regarding publication. This is something like: "they need to edit it a lot more before it's suitable", or "the methodology is totally flawed", or "this is brilliant work that the world must see!" Or rather, they're nothing like that, but instead include some combination of points that live in the space defined by comments like that at its outer edges. This can happen several times before the journal agrees to publish the paper, or the paper can be rejected, and one needs to go back to the drawing board. I've had both experiences, and I've also had a paper accepted after just some minor revising. Anything is possible, really.
How does my writing process not work:
There are two main factors that impede effective communication of my science: (1) once I'm at the stage of writing the results, I'm so myopically close to the work that it's extraordinarily difficult to get to a mindset other than that of the total believer in the results. However, I'm writing the paper for an audience that may think it's total baloney, or simply not be very familiar with the methods, or not really agree that the question being asked is all that interesting, or any of a host of other possibilities. This makes it a struggle to know how the work should be written to make it most appealing. I know how to write it so I understand it, but "me" is the person I least need to pitch it to. (2) Knowing how to tell a good science story is a big challenge for me. On some level, scientists get into what they do because its technical and clean and clear, but telling a good science story is sorta about spinning it just right. Keeping in the details that keep it true to what it really is, but excluding the points that might give a reader the wrong impression. Making everything link up just so. In my mind, its all connected by the order I did it, I did the second experiment because there was that weird thing in the data for the first experiment and we realized we had to control for it by, blah, blah, blah. But you can't say that! You need to make it seem like you knew all along that you were going to do experiment 1 and experiment 2.
I'm confident that if I keep doing this, and keep focusing on it, eventually I'll be a good science story teller, but for now, it's a struggle.

The ICC censorship is simple enough:
1. Player buys WotLk
2. Player lvls to 80
3. Player cares joins a 10 or 25 man raid
4. The whole raid go to Dalaran, or at least those who've decent enough computer to load Dalaran go.
5. Find to Rhonin
6. ?????
7. Profit, you beat the Lich King, although Arthas didn't die just got really bored of being king and all and a none molten version of Bolvar was like "oh cool, I'll be the king, bra" and sets the Frozen Throne to frosty cook.
8. Players who sit through cutscene and don't complain at all about censorship (your microphone will be enabled) get some sweet epix for this weekly quest

Photos: Print-at-home chocolate to robot snakes - 10 weirdest items made by 3D printers
Summary: Next stop, Star Trek's replicator...

3D printed blood vessels
Next stop, Star Trek's replicator...
In the science-fiction show Star Trek, spaceships came equipped with machines called replicators that could create any object asked of them.
Today, the nearest technology we have to that sci-fi vision are 3D printers, computer-controlled machines capable of building almost anything - blood vessels, a small plane, even other 3D printers.
silicon.com takes a look at the most outlandish objects that are emerging from 3D printers.
Blood vessels
The idea of printing out body parts may sound far-fetched but researchers are already attempting to use 3D printers to produce artificial blood vessels.
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany want to print artificial blood vessels so they can be used to supply nutrients to human organs created in the lab.
They intend to make the capillaries in two parts. First, the artificial tubes will be printed out layer by layer inside a 3D inkjet printer. Next, brief pulses of a high-energy laser will be fired at the tubes to alter the structure at an atomic level, in order to give them the elastic properties of natural capillaries. Researchers have carried out these two tasks separately and are working on developing a system that can combine the two tasks to make the blood vessels.
The printed tubes have natural molecules integrated into their walls so that living cells can be attached to the inside of the vessels to form a lining. The lining will allow the vessels to transport the nutrients from the blood to their destination, most likely a lab-grown organ. In the picture, researchers are washing a polymer artificial blood vessel with a solution containing living cells.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute say that in future these vessels could be used to treat heart bypass patients.

3D printed car
Urbee car
This is the first car in the world to be made inside of a printer.
The fetching orange bodywork of the Urbee is made from lightweight body panels that were produced by a 3D printer.
The body panels were printed using additive printing, where layers of material are placed on top of each other and fused or bonded together to build the finished object.
At present, only the single Urbee prototype car exists, but its makers hope to start selling the printed car by 2014. The car makers plan to use more printed car parts in future models of the Urbee, using printed parts for the interior and parts of the chassis.
The Urbee's makers hope that ultimately 3D printing will make it easier to repair the car, as vehicle parts would not have to be shipped but could be printed out at the nearest 3D printing facility. They claim that printing is more environmentally friendly than traditional car manufacturing processes because it only uses the materials needed to produce the car.
The car is driven by an eight-horsepower ethanol-fuelled engine that the car makers say is capable of doing 200 miles per gallon.

3D printed plane
Nervous fliers might baulk at the idea of taking a trip on a printed plane but there's no faulting the aerodynamics of this aircraft.
The electric-powered aircraft has a two-metre wingspan and a top speed of nearly 100mph but is almost silent in cruise mode.
The entire plane was printed out using a nylon laser sintering machine that builds up objects layer by layer and then fuses them together using a laser. The plane was printed in separate parts and then snapped together.
The Southampton University team that made the plane says the 3D printing approach allows an aircraft to be developed from concept to first flight in days. In comparison, manufacturing a plane using conventional materials and manufacturing techniques, such as composites, would normally take months and require expensive tools.
The plane's elliptical wind shape is modelled on that of the famous World War II plane the Spitfire, according to professor Andy Keane of Southampton University, who said the laser sintering process removed the complexity and cost of manufacturing an elliptical wing using traditional methods.

The Negative Consequences of Overambitious Curricula in Developing Countries - Working Paper 293
AbstractLearning profiles that track changes in student skills per year of schooling often find shockingly low learning gains. Using data from three recent studies in South Asia and Africa, we show that a majority of students spend years of instruction with no progress on basics. We argue shallow learning profiles are in part the result of curricular paces moving much faster than the pace of learning. To demonstrate the consequences of a gap between the curriculum and student mastery, we construct a simple, formal model, which portrays learning as the result of a match between student skill and instructional levels, rather than the standard (if implicit) assumption that all children learn the same from the same instruction. A simulation shows that two countries with exactly the same potential learning could have massively divergent learning outcomes, just because of a gap between curricular and actual pace—and the country which goes faster has much lower cumulative learning. We also show that our simple simulation model of curricular gaps can replicate existing experimental findings, many of which are otherwise puzzling. Paradoxically, learning could go faster if curricula and teachers were to slow down.

Meg - frugal - yes - but think of all that you'll save - you'll be able to spash out on something else! I too have a Braun immersion blender , maybe an older model than yours, which was a close contender for the star of my post as well.
For soups and making indian curries they are the best thing ever. Hopeless for making mayonnaise though (or maybe that's just got something to do with me)
I've never owned a reamer - didn't even know what they were called. Perhaps it is about time
thanks for joining in and sharing - I hope to get the round up done sometime close to the end of next week
Sam, when I read your comment I had a sudden panicky doubt: it is called a reamer, isn't it?? But yes, according to the food companion Juicer entry:
An old-fashioned form of this tool is the reamer , a ridged, teardrop-shaped tool with a handle.
Whew! I don't know where I picked up the word, probably my grandmother. Anyway, I highly recommend it because I find it easier to use and quicker to clean than the usual lemon juicers. That said, you have to fish out the seeds afterwards...but nothing is perfect in life!
One thing your meme made me realize as I assessed my many appliances is how many of them are useless space-wasters. I think I'm going to have a grand clearing out of the cabinets this weekend and just get rid of anything I haven't used in a year or more!!
Don't know if I can post the list online, though, as some of them were gifts... ; )
that's a good idea
i think i have to get rid of my bread machine
Hi it's me, I am also visiting this website on a regular
basis, this site is actually nice and the viewers are really
sharing fastidious thoughts.
These are genuinely great ideas in concerning blogging.
You have touched some fastidious points here. Any way keep up wrinting.
Informative article, exactly what I was looking for.
Greetings! I've been following your weblog for some time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and
give you a shout out from Dallas Texas! Just wanted to say keep
up the excellent work!
magnificent points altogether, you simply gained a brand new reader.
What may you suggest about your publish that you simply made some days ago?
Any sure?
Hi every one, here every person is sharing
these kinds of familiarity, thus it's good to read this blog, and I
used to pay a quick visit this blog all the time.
I think that what you said was very logical. However, what about
this? suppose you typed a catchier title? I am not saying your information isn't solid.,
but what if you added a post title that makes people want more?
I mean Too Many Chefs: Utensibility Week is kinda boring.
You could peek at Yahoo's home page and see how they
create post headlines to grab people to click.
You might add a related video or a related picture or two
to get people excited about what you've got to say.
Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
I constantly spent my half an hour to read this weblog's content all the time
along with a cup of coffee.
My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a number
of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress
posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Good article. I absolutely love this site. Continue the
good work!
I've read some good stuff here. Definitely value bookmarking for
revisiting. I surprise how a lot attempt you set to make any
such wonderful informative web site.
