Mobile, AL (SportsNetwork.com) - Kendall Houston scored a pair of rushing touchdowns as the South Alabama Jaguars took out the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, 30-8, in Sun Belt Conference action at Ladd Peebles Stadium.
Houston carried the ball nine times and gained just 18 net yards for the Jaguars (6-6, 4-3 Sun Belt) as they closed out the regular season on a three- game win streak. Quarterback Ross Metheny connected on 13-of-23 passes for 171 yards for the hosts, while Jay Jones produced a game-high 105 rushing yards on 19 carries.
The Ragin' Cajuns (8-4, 5-2) were held to their fewest points of the season as they bowed for the second time in as many games. Quarterbacks Brooks Haack, Jalen Nixon and D'Shaie Landor combined to hit on a mere 9-of-26 for 143 yards, with Nixon tossing a TD and an interception.
South Alabama rattled off 30 unanswered points in the first half and never looked back, beginning with a 40-yard field goal by Aleem Sunanon at the 5:53 mark of the first quarter. Later in the period Houston landed in the end zone on a one-yard run and barely a minute later he again crossed the goal line from four yards out.
In the second quarter Sunanon converted field goals of 19 and 20 yards to make the score 23-0, while an interception by Qudarius Ford in the final moments of the half was returned 42 yards for a score in order to give USA a commanding 30-0 advantage at the break.
Following a scoreless third quarter, the Ragin' Cajuns finally landed on the scoreboard as Nixon hooked up with Ricky Johnson on a 47-yard TD pass play with 4:50 remaining.
Louisiana, which generated just 212 yards of total offense, was playing without quarterback Terrance Broadway who was dealing with a wrist injury.
Before dropping the regular-season finale the Ragin' Cajuns already had their plans made for the postseason, setting up against Tulane in the New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 21.

The Sector to Avoid if You Sold Your Bonds for Higher Yielding Stocks
Justin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Using dividend stocks as a proxy for fixed income has been gaining traction as pundits continue to call for an imminent collapse in the "bond bubble." Many investors have been, or are considering, selling their fixed income assets and buying dividend stocks because they have a fear of rising interest rates. On the surface this isn't a horrible idea and will likely produce excess returns for those willing to take on a bit more volatility. You can also rest assured that at some point you will be put to an emotional test when equities are undergoing their usually ebbs and flows. Notwithstanding that, many investors are buying equities that are also at risk of losses if interest rates start rising. Selling your bonds and swapping into those stocks will likely catch investors off guard. Read on to see which stocks to avoid and add if you fear rising interest rates.
MLPs are the Most Vulnerable
Master limited partnerships become more popular with each passing year and it isn't hard to understand why. Since 1996 the Alerian MLP Index has produced average annual returns of 16%. This is more than double that of the S&P 500 Index. There are several reasons for investors in MLPs to be concerned if interest rates rise. First, MLPs are overvalued on an absolute basis with distributable cash flow yields (DCF), money available for dividend payments, below historical averages. However, they do remain attractive relative to U.S. Treasuries. Historically, the Alerian MLP Index has averaged a dividend yield that is 3% higher than the current 10-year Treasury rate. Today, the Index yields 5.33% against a 1.92% Treasury rate. The spread of 341 basis points is above historical averages, but it doesn't take a big move higher in Treasury rates for MLPs to become expensive on both an absolute basis as well as a relative basis.
Secondly, MLPs are highly leveraged and higher interest rates would hurt the bottom line more than other industries. Take industry juggernaut Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) and its $40 billion market capitalization as a case in point. The company has approximately $31 billion in debt and reports that a 10% change in their weighted average interest rate would result in a $55 million reduction in pre-tax income. This means that if the average rate rises by 50% and goes from just over 4% to the high 6% range, then trailing twelve month net income of $715 million gets cut by $275 million. OUCH! Essentially, this is a $275 million reduction in dividend payments annually.
KMI has one of the best reputations in the space thanks to founder Richard Kinder, but is one of the most overvalued in an industry vulnerable to rising interest rates. First, the dividend yield of 3.7% is rather skinny compared to the Alerian MLP average which is in excess of 5%. But the best measure of valuation is distributable cash flow yield, which ultimately is cash that can be paid out as dividends. Every company reports this differently, but comparing companies can be easy by just taking (net income + depreciation) divided by price. In KMI's case, it produces a DCF yield of 5.5% or a kind of adjusted P/E ratio of 18.2x. Compare that to ONEOK Partners (NYSE: OKS), a prominent midstream natural gas operator, which produced trailing twelve month net income of $805 million along with $208 million in depreciation. Against a market capitalization of $11.5 billion results in a DCF yield of 8.7%. This is more than 50% higher than Kinder Morgan.
While ONEOK provides more protection than other MLP offerings given a more modest valuation starting point, the entire sector is vulnerable to rising interest rates. This would make the diversified Alerian MLP (NYSEMKT: AMLP) a bad choice for investors fearful of such a scenario. In fact, this ETF should be avoided regardless of the interest rate environment given its high 4.85% gross expense ratio that includes a mandatory deferred tax liability. Since the ETF inception date on 08/25/2010, it has underperformed the index it is supposed to be tracking, Alerian MLP Index, by 27%. This is more than 7% per year!
Resource Plays will be Beneficiaries, but are Risky
Resource stocks have historically been big beneficiaries during periods of rising interest rates. Conversely, they tend to get beat up when rates persistently fall as is currently the case. The gold companies come to mind first and likely have the most upside, but I would avoid them as they are not good options for investors swapping out of bonds. These investors generally want a little lower risk profile. In fact, the entire resource play is vulnerable to a big collapse if deflation pressures persist. It is likely a good idea that investors swapping out of bonds make sure they don't bit off too much risk and avoid this entire space.
Turn to Tech
One option to get some yield and not get blind-sided should interest rate start rising is to buy some technology bellwethers. The yield on most viable technology options is just a little bit above 2% with some like Intel reaching into the upper 3% range. This graph below shows a couple options as well as the trend in yield- UP!
MSFT Dividend Yield data by YCharts
Technology companies also have much higher credit ratings- an indication of bankruptcy probability. Investors using stocks as a proxy for bonds certainly don't want to take on any elevated bankruptcy risk as a single instance could have dire consequences on the performance of the portfolio. Microsoft is rated Aaa by Moody's Investor Service, the highest possible designation. Apple just received its debut rating of Aa1, the second highest possible rating. Cisco and Intel are both rated A1 whereas Qualcomm doesn't even have debt outstanding. KMI, on the other hand, is actually a junk bond with ratings of Ba2. The principle subsidiary Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP is rated investment grade at Baa2, but this is still four notches lower than Cisco or Intel. This stems from elevated leverage and limited liquidity as the majority of earnings flow out of the company in the form of dividends. MLPs constantly face refinancing risk even if they do own high quality assets.
The Foolish Bottom Line
If you selling you bonds for fear of rising interest rates make you sure you don't step on an equity landmine. MLPs are the most vulnerable to such a scenario given their rich valuations, bond-like qualities, and higher credit risk. They aren't the only industry as REITs, housing related plays, and to a certain extent utilities all may see weakness in a rising interest rate environment. One sector with less sensitivity to rising rates is the technology sector. Credit risk is minimal for the large players in the space and they have rising dividend yields as their elevated cash balances are being returned to shareholders with increasing willingness.
It's easy to forget the necessity of midstream operators that seamlessly transport oil and gas throughout the United States. Kinder Morgan is one of these operators, and one that investors should commit to memory due to its sheer size – it's the fourth largest energy company in the U.S. – not to mention its enormous potential for profits.

SARATOGA SPRINGS - One of the first films to show at the new Criterion Cinemas in Saratoga Springs is the sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The outlook for the new movie house is sunny with a great chance of success.
Located a block west of Broadway, the cinema opens Friday morning for what the company's operating officer expects will be a very long engagement.
"Saratoga is a very vibrant downtown. It's a year-round community," said Joseph Masher, Bow-Tie Cinemas chief operating officer. "It really isn't just the August place to be anymore. It's a year-round place to be."
And Masher expects movie fans will be drawn to amenities that haven't been seen here before. Stadium seating in leather rocking chairs. A concessions stand that will serve up beer, wine and light meals. Popcorn with real butter.
In addition to blockbusters, they'll show lesser-known independent films.
"Downtown's really going to cater to a more sophisticated type of product," Masher said.
The new 11-screen theater opens just one week before Bow-Tie raises the curtain on its new 8-screen cinema at the Wilton Mall."
The company says there are enough movie fans to make both places successful.
Sonny Bonacio, the local developer who built and owns the building, agrees. Bonacio worked for years to attract a downtown cinema.
Now it's time for the feature presentation.
"There's a great reason to come to downtown Saratoga and keep the walkability going much after five o'clock at night," said Bonacio. "This is a great amenity. They're hoping for 3-4-thousand tickets a week, which will put a lot of people in the restaurants and shopping downtown."
Adults will pay $12 for an evening showing. Kids and seniors will pay $8.
On Tuesdays, all seats are $6.

Biological photonics: Can there be light in the brain?
by JohnRood
Tags: biophotons, electromagnetism, phosphenes, quantum collapse, tissue
|Share this thread:
Jan31-13, 10:55 AM
Hello, I am a mathematician and i have a personal theory of consciousness. Now, i DID read the rules for the forum, and i am aware that you guys don't want to be bothered with this, up to a point.
However, i have isolated a key part of my theory in what are possibly satisfactory physical terms. I wish to ask just what is known about possible states of light (or E&M fields of other wavelengths) existing in the brain, i.e. in the biological tissue substrate of grey matter and white matter (or lower brain components). To the best of my knowledge it is not very well understood just what is possible here. Let me post a relevant link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21150047 . My theory would be that the visual field is literal light in the brain in the same physical locations as neurons which detect it AS the visual field. It is implied here that the literal light would be "generated" by other neural activity somehow ultimately originating from the retinas, etc.
So the thing i want to ask about in this thread is: How much is known with as much certainty as possible (?) about existence, "stability", time evolution, etc of light in this "medium" (brain tissue).
I am a mathematician. This means that 1) I am not a physicist so some help may be useful in understanding some concepts; 2) I should be able to go pretty far in a discussion which becomes mathematical.
So, if i understand things properly, this thread (of which this is the Original Post) will need to discuss, possibly, optics, Quantum Mechanics, electromagnetic radiation and QFT.
Can anyone say anything about this ... [question / issue] i am raising?
I can provide more clarification, such as it is, if any responder has questions.
I should mention that i have just joined this forum, and am not familiar with patterns of usage of this specific place on the net, if you will, so please bear with me if i seem a bit out of place.

Welcome to PhysicsForums, JohnRood!
Discussion of your personal theories is not allowed in this particular forum. We try to focus on generally accepted science. Your article reference is not suitable in that regard - see forum rules for more on that. There is no practical way for you to discuss the idea by trying to debate it or support it, as that is precisely what the rules are intended to prevent.
From the description you provided, I would recommend that you take the time to gain background on the subject matter BEFORE you start up with your own hypothesis. There has been substantial research into these areas already - both in the biology of the brain as well as the physics of light. In effect, you are attempting to skip the nuts and bolts of accepted theory to go straight to the outer edges of speculation. Accepted theory has been well-tested and has withstood all kinds of challenges. That is the gold standard in science.
As to quantum effects in biology: this is a very controversial area and so far the research is far from convincing.
Jan31-13, 11:13 AM
Ok, thank you for your response. It might not be the case that i have attempted to short-circuit the physics here. And, maybe it is my own fault that this is not apparent.
However, i guess you might as well delete this thread. Thank you very mucn.

Biological photonics: Can there be light in the brain?
Neurons act via electrical signals, ions, between synapses I suspect.....
so if ions [charged particles, moving around] there is an electric field....
I'm unsure if THAT is what would interest you and whether or not field signals
outside the VISIBLE light spectrum would be of interest.
You might find some information of interest in Neural Oscillations:
Note the link to EEG equipment. This proves to me there ARE electromagnetic fields in the brain...we can record them!!!
The first thing you may want to do is define ' light' for yourself. Light is simply the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum....I believe that light-cones in the eyes are sensitive to that....I suspect brain cell neurons may NOT be....reading about how lightcones record light images and convert them the electrical impulses, moving charges,
might offer you some insights.
A neuron or nerve cell) is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
Sounds intersting.....let us know what you conclude....
EDIT: john....I see Dr Chinese posted while I was composing...
If you are able to delete this thread, maybe try again and just ask
" I wish to ask just what is known about possible states of light (or E&M fields of other wavelengths) existing in the brain..."
or however you'd like to phrase it....
Jan31-13, 11:34 AM
Your question is very general and vague, I can only imagine you're thinking of the brain as some sort of fiber optic hub?
The biochemistry of neurobiology covers a lot. You can learn more by researching these topics specifically.
PF isn't going to help much unfortunately.
Jan31-13, 11:53 AM
The clearest thing I can say is that even brain cells radiate electromagnetic radiation. But then almost everything does.
Jan31-13, 12:02 PM
When I was in college, yo those many years ago,[My wife says I would need to add several additional 'many'] I considered bio-medical engineering as I was studying EE..... doing some goggle searching turned up this discussion which may be of interest:
Jan31-13, 12:27 PM
Correct personal theories are not allowed. If you want to learn about biology I suggest you go and learn biology. A starting point for you would be to look up rhodopsin and its role in visual phototransduction in rod and cone cells to get an understanding of how light is detected then move onto looking into the processes that occur accross the optic nerve and in the visual cortex. To understand this properly you will probably need to learn some basic cell biology too, especially with regards to action potentials and synapse function.
To come up with a novel hypothesis you must first understand all the subject matter well enough to reasonably speculate. Trying to do it backwards like this will waste your time and inhibit your understanding by encouraging a bias perception of the subject matter.
Jan31-13, 12:45 PM
Now i am getting confused about procedures in this forum. I thought this thread was nixed by the admin.
Actually, i know more than i have said yet. Let me say a bit more.
I am aware that light is E&M fields of a certain frequency. I know that these are detected by molecules as photons in the specific sense that the detection is quantized by energy levels.
I have some knowledge of quantum theory, even QFT at the level of an amateur, but a mathematician.
I also have a certain amount of familiarity with specific research which has been done on light in the brain. I believe that the mean free path of travel of a light wave in brain tissue, for example is of the order of millimeters, which is much greater than the width of a cell (not including axons of neurons which can extend "vast" (on this scale of length) distances).
There is a substantial study of "biophotons" thse days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton There are even some groups of researchers who argue that neural transmission is NOT solely electrical, but includes photonic transmission. Here is a random reference on that topic: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20221457 .
I have some familiarity with various relevant parts of AI vision research, also DSP (filtering theory of images, for example) etc.
It might be useful for me to mention that what i actually did say in my Original Post was quite precise in a certain way. I believe that there is no such thing as a "homonculus" etc (presumably most readers of this forum will agree) but i specifically feel that the "light" (EM) phenomena i conjecture to exist in the brain are the RESULT of the activity of certain sets (network(s)) of neurons, and are DETECTED (read: perceived, but this is a very funny way of theorizing about perception) by other sets (network(s)) of neurons.
This is supposed to be a solution to the philosophical question of how can vision be the action of a subject (seeing) objects. The subject "is" the detecting neurons, if you will. The (post-processed by much computation beyond the retina, mostly in the brain ) objects ARE images "represented by" actual light.
The most clear (elementary) paradigm of my idea is the theory of perception of PHOSPHENES. A phosphene is clearly a completely internal (to the brain) event. Often it is spontaneous. It seems to me that it is inescapable to define it as an instance of (an elementary form of) seeing. So what is the physics of it? What can it mean that you "see" a point of light flash on and off among your mostly dark afterimages? This has to reduce to physics. I have the definite impression that no physicist can adequately explain this.
Let me make a further comment of some possible relevance, sticking my neck out a bit. I have read parts of von Neumann's Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, specifically the last chapter in which he *defines* the collapse of the wave function. If you go to that book, the (original?) definition of this hypothetical phenomenon, you will find that the main arguments he adduces in favor of the collapse are psychological. This makes an impression on me.
Now, a word or two more. These hypothetical E&M fields which "intervene" in vision (and ARE mental images, on my hypothesis) have some purposes which, on my hypothesis, cannot be achieved by simple electrical neural interactions. Specifically i conjecture that all of some of the following depend essentially on the existence of E&M fields in the brain: Stability of vision [the images on the retina jump around wildly even over short time frames], smoothing of visual perception [i believe it is pretty commonly felt among vision researchers that this is intrinsic to vision--again it is not the case with the retinal impulses], recognition of forms [which is taken to be "algorithmic" in the theory of neural nets, but i conjecture it is (must be?) more than this], in this regard, i mention well known and studied "field effects" of the Gestalt psychologists, etc, perception of space in the "crude" form of a sort of psychophysical synthetic a priori--the fields have "images" and location as part of them "intrinsically".
Here is the second word more. If, under normal daytime conditions of activity, you close your eyes, something disappears. I have a neologism for the thing which disappears: zeese. Hypothetically a philosopher would say "Zeese is qualia." The POINT here is THAT THERE IS something which disappears. What can it be in physical terms? How much can physics say about this question, even assuming a physical monism as basis of one's belief system? This is a question about PHYSICS, not philosophy, if the reader understands the issue i am trying to raise.
I seek to [know / discuss] the known limits physics places on this kind of reasoning. I have the very definite impression, as mentioned by Dr. Chinese in his response to the OP, that this is controversial at the least, and, more likely, a matter of ignorance as far as science (let alone physics) is concerned.
It surprised me to learn that more or less nothing definite is known on this type of question.
To the moderator, i will close this thread, or remove any specific post if you ask.
However, at the moment, i seem to have generated some reasonable responses. Please clarify the situation / status of the present thread.
Thank you.
Reaction to my thoughts?
Jan31-13, 12:49 PM
Sorry but this was meant to be closed after my last post. If you want to learn about specific topics then feel free to ask in the appropriate forum e.g. "I've read X about the visual cortex but don't understand why" but trying to bolster your personal theory is not what Pf is for. Also for clarity a moderator has a green name.

|AUD forms new Department of Business and Economics
|Dated : July 17th, 2012
The American University in Dubai (AUD) recently announced the creation of a new Department of Business and Economics as a fourth department within the School of Business Administration (SBA). The restructuring comes as part of a master plan for reorganization of AUD's academic units. The Schools three other departments are: Finance and Accounting, Management, and Marketing and Marketing Communications. The four departments offer a wide range of courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Dr. Jihad S. Nader, Provost/Chief Academic Officer at AUD comments, This is another step of a strategic move whose aim, through expanding and solidifying the SBAs academic and administrative leadership, is to enable the school to more fully realize its strategic priorities and to achieve higher operating efficiency and effectiveness.
Dr. John Katsos, Assistant Professor of Business Administration at AUD, will chair the newly formed Department of Business and Economics. He teaches Business Ethics, Business Law, and Principles of Management. Professor Katsos earned his JD and MBA from the George Washington University in Washington, DC and his BA in Religion from Haverford College in Haverford.
Professor Katsos research is focused on how businesses can mitigate risk and enhance peace in conflict and post-conflict zones and how international businesses can limit their legal exposure under US law as a result of foreign operations.
Prior to AUD, Professor Katsos worked at Occidental Petroleum, the US Small Business Administration, the New York County District Attorneys Office, and the George Washington University.
On his new appointment as Chair of the Department of Business and Economics, Dr. Katsos comments: It is an absolute honor to be named the Chair of the Department of Business and Economics. The formation of the new Department will help us continue to provide our students with a world-class, American-style business education, while empowering our faculty to remain on the cutting edge of their fields.
The Mission of the School of Business Administration (SBA) at AUD is to provide UAE, GCC and international students with high-quality, forward-looking, career-oriented educational programs in the management of business organizations, with the option of selecting concentrations in one or more functional areas of business management.

The story begins in 1968. In December of that year President Marcos appointed a young Filipino named Manuel Elizalde (Manda for short) as Presidential Assistant on NAtional MINorities (PANAMIN). Elizalde was born into a wealthy family which owned several businesses in the Philippines. He received a privileged upbringing and his father sent him to Harvard University to study. After graduating he returned to the Philippines where he acquired an interest in the ethnic minorities of the Philippines. After receiving his appointment by Marcos, Elizalde sought to build an organization whose goal was to help the various ethnic minorities across the Philippines. PANAMIN was both a government organization and a private charity with Elizalde heading both branches.
Right from the start controversy swirled around PANAMIN. Rumors about Elizalde soon began to spread. The PANAMIN headquarters were located at Elizalde's fashionable mansion in Quezon City. Elizalde kept the mansion well stocked with tribes people of various ethnic groups. It was rumored that Elizalde kept a group of young women imported from the various tribal regions, more or less as a harem. He soon began to develop a long list of enemies including the Catholic Church and the various mining and logging interests which sought to do business on tribal land.
In 1970 rumors began to reach Elizalde concerning a group of newly discovered primitives living in the rainforests of Mindanao. A local hunter named Dafal claimed to have met this primitive tribe and he called them the Tasaday because they lived close to Mount Tasaday in South Cotabato province. According to Dafal the Tasaday were completely primitive when he first met them. They had no agriculture, no cloth, and no metal tools when he first contacted them. Dafal's story piqued Elizalde's interest. This just might be his ticket to fame and fortune. Elizalde persuaded Dafal to contact the Tasaday and arrange a meeting. A clearing in the rainforest was soon made which was big enough for a helicopter to land in. On June 7, 1971 a helicopter touched down in the clearing. It was carrying Elizalde and several PANAMIN staffers. There to meet them were four men of the Tasaday tribe.
Elizalde had brought an interpreter along who spoke the language Manobo. The Manobo tribe live in South Cotabato province and number approximately 50,000. There are also approximately 150,000 members of the T'boli tribe in the same general area. The interpreter could communicate with the Tasaday but not very well. This one fact would later be forgotten in the controversy to come, but it would become important much later. Elizalde gave the Tasaday some rice, a food that they were totally unfamiliar with. The Tasaday talked about a sickness they called fugu which they had some memories of. Elizalde speculated that they were talking about a cholera epidemic. Perhaps they had fled into the forest to escape such an epidemic. Elizalde promised to return to meet the Tasaday and then he and his associates left in the helicopter. What effect the helicopter had on the Tasaday that first time we can only speculate about. It must have been quite profound.
Elizalde got on the telephone and contacted Dr. Robert Fox, an American, who was the preeminent anthropologist then residing in the Philippines. Elizalde told him that he had discovered a "lost tribe". Fox replied that there was no such thing as a "lost tribe", just a tribe that had never been contacted before by the outside world. Anyway, Fox agreed to fly down to study the Tasaday for himself. Before Fox arrived Elizalde had already arranged for a film crew of the National Geographic magazine to film the newly discovered tribe. Thus, right from the beginning, show business took precedence over science in the Tasaday affair.
On June 16, 1971 Dr. Fox arrived and began his studies. The Tasaday tribe, as it existed then, consisted of twenty-four individuals (ten adults and fourteen children). The largest family consisted of the husband Bilengan, his wife Etut, and their four sons. One of the Tasaday who stood out was Belayem who was a young male in his twenties who was looking for a wife. Which brings up an interesting point. If you are a young man in a tribe of only twenty-four people, how do you go about finding a wife? Belayem eventually solved this problem by marrying a local Manobo woman from the nearby town of Blit. There were two competing theories concerning the origin of the Tasaday. The first was that the Tasaday had broken off from the Manobo tribe relatively recently (i.e., a few centuries ago). The second was that the Tasaday and the Manobo had shared a common ancestor several thousand years ago. Dr. Fox tended to favor the second theory although what his reasoning on this issue was, is not entirely clear.
Now a new character entered onto the scene, one who would profoundly shape the world's impression of the Tasaday. John Nance was an Associated Press photographer who had extensive experience covering the Vietnam War. In July 1971 Nance obtained permission from Elizalde to visit the tribe. He hitched a ride with Jack Reynolds, a reporter for NBC television. They arrived to find the Tasaday sitting around a campfire. Gone were their pieces of cloth they had worn during their first meeting with Elizalde. Elizalde had told them to dress the way they had before they had met Dafal. Now they wore bits of leaf tied together to form a G-string. Via the interpreter, Nance posed the following question to Belayem: "What are your feelings about all the new things and new people you have seen?" The answer: "It is like lightning. It has come to us without warning."
From that moment on, Nance was hooked. He would go on to write the book The Gentle Tasaday (published in 1975). This book, more than any other source, would come to color the public's perception of the Tasaday. It portrayed the life of the Tasaday tribe as idyllic. There was no war. There was no poverty. Everyone in the tribe shared their material wealth. The Tasaday lived simple lives close to nature. In short, the Tasaday lived the life that Adam and Eve had lived in the Garden of Eden before they were kicked out into the harsh world by an angry God.
The Tasaday viewed Elizalde as being almost godlike. They called him Momo Dakel Diwata Tasaday (translated as Big Uncle Benefactor of the Tasaday). Elizalde did everything in his power to publicize the new tribe. By the end of July 1971 the new tribe, which had been discovered only a month before, had been visited by two TV crews and several dozen reporters from various countries. Elizalde functioned as the gatekeeper for the Tasaday. He controlled who was allowed access to them and when. All of the publicity had the intended effect as far as Elizalde was concerned. Only a few months after the discovery of the tribe, Elizalde became a Senatorial candidate for the party of President Marcos.
The next year (1972) the Tasaday revealed that they lived in caves. Elizalde and company decided to pay them a visit at their cave complex. On March 23, 1972 Elizalde and his associates (including Nance) arrived by helicopter at the site of the caves. They jumped onto a landing platform which had been set up high in the trees. After seeing the Tasaday living in caves the picture was now complete. These were truly cavemen who used stone tools. They were still living in the Stone Age. Hopes were high concerning all the things we could learn from such living cavemen. Pictures from this visit appeared in the August 1972 edition of National Geographic magazine entitled Stone Age Men of the Philippines. I can still remember this particular issue. I was twelve years old at the time and I was thrilled to learn that there were cavemen still living in the world. I remember the article portrayed the Tasaday as the world's most primitive tribe.
Even in the early days there were a few skeptics who questioned the assertions being made about this new tribe. There was only one way to be really sure. A team of anthropologists would have to visit the Tasaday and conduct an in-depth study. In May 1972 Dr. David Baradas, the best known Filipino anthropologist at that time, arrived to do just that. The Tasaday had been busy in the meantime. They had constructed new sleeping platforms inside the caves. Some seeds of doubt began to creep in. If the Tasaday had indeed been living in the caves for thousands of years, why was it only now that they decided to build sleeping platforms? Something didn't fit but it was hard to pinpoint what it was. Even more shocking was the discovery that the local T'boli people had begun distributing rice to the Tasaday and that this was what they were living off of. Why would people who were competent hunter-gatherers need to be given rice to survive?
Baradas and his team began to understand more and more of the Tasaday language which was very similar to the Manobo language. Soon they could communicate directly with the Tasaday without any of the PANAMIN interpreters being needed. They began asking a lot of questions that the Tasaday didn't like. This was an unacceptable situation as far as Elizalde and PANAMIN were concerned. The scientists might learn something about the Tasaday that would blow the whole game out of the water. A few nights later gunshots rang out in the camp. Baradas and his team scrambled out of their tents and attempted to hide. Someone was in the camp shooting off a gun. It was no longer safe to work in the area. The next day Baradas and his team promptly evacuated, which of course, was Elizalde's intention.
Shortly after Elizalde's first trip to the caves, President Marcos issued a decree setting aside 45,000 acres as the Tasaday Reserve. The land was to be preserved for the Tasaday tribe and the nearby Manobo tribe. No mining or logging could be done inside the reserve. On September 21, 1972 Marcos declared martial law and, all of a sudden, the Philippines was not such an attractive place to visit for foreigners. Interest in the Tasaday began to diminish, partly because of martial law and partly because Elizalde would not allow any serious sustained anthropological study to proceed. Hardly anyone visited the tribe after 1974. On September 22, 1976 Marcos issued a decree banning unauthorized entry onto the Tasaday Reserve. The Tasaday had fulfilled their mission as far as Elizalde was concerned. They had catapulted him to the top of the Filipino political scene. Now they could be discarded. Nobody could visit the Tasaday without permission and nobody would be given permission.
Fast forward to 1986. Oswald Iten, a Swiss reporter, arrived in the Philippines shortly before the EDSA Revolution. The Marcos regime soon collapsed. Any decrees banning visitation to the Tasaday Reserve were now nullified. Iten hooked up with Joey Lozano, a Filipino reporter, and the two of them decided to visit the Tasaday caves. After arriving in Mindanao the two of them arrived at Tubak which was a town just outside the Tasaday Reserve. The headman at Tubak was a fellow named Datu Galang. When Galang was asked about the Tasaday he informed them that Elizalde had forced some of the local T'boli people to undress, go to the caves, and pretend to be cavemen. This was the first proof that the Tasaday tribe was the anthropological hoax of the century. The next day Iten and his group met up with some of the alleged members of the Tasaday tribe. They were dressed in western clothes. They confirmed the story that they weren't really Tasaday after all, just some local Manobos and T'bolis pretending to be cavemen. Iten and Lozano then proceeded onto the caves only to find them abandoned. No cavemen were living in them. This was the final confirmation. The case appeared to be settled. The Tasaday had been a hoax perpetrated by Elizalde.
But where was Elizalde? In 1983 shortly after the assassination of Ninoy Aquino, Elizalde fled the country eventually settling in Costa Rica. The reasons behind his fleeing the country are not exactly clear, but perhaps he had angered the Marcos administration in some way. The organization which he had headed, PANAMIN, abruptly collapsed and there were rumors that Elizalde had embezzled millions of pesos from PANAMIN funds. Iten promptly returned to Switzerland where he broke the story about the great Tasaday hoax. Soon other reporters visited the caves only to find them populated once again by leaf-wearing cavemen. This was more proof that the whole thing had been a hoax. When the Tasaday weren't expecting anyone they dressed in western clothes. But when TV cameras were rolling they appeared in full caveman regalia.
Now the controversy erupted into a full-blown storm. In August 1986 a conference concerning the Tasaday was hastily organized at the University of the Philippines in Manila. The conference was dominated by hoax proponents and John Nance was one of the few people there who still expounded the authenticity of the Tasaday. Tempers flared when certain conference participants implied that Nance had been part of the hoax. The hoax proponents even mapped out the real identities of the supposed Tasaday. They were all local Manobo or T'boli people. Many of the people living in the local towns claimed that the Tasaday were their neighbors who they had known all their lives. The evidence was overwhelming and it eventually ruined the career of Nance who was associated with the Tasaday. Soon an investigation was begun by the Congress of the Philippines. One of the Tasaday, a woman named Dula, testified that she was really a T'boli woman who had been coerced by Elizalde into pretending to be a cavewoman.
What could be clearer than direct testimony by one of the participants of the hoax? Well, things were about to get murky. That year Elizalde returned to the country and he was fighting mad. He viewed the hoax proponents as people who were out to destroy his reputation. A month after Dula testified that she was a hoaxer, she reappeared in front of the same Congressional panel but this time her story was radically different. She testified that she was a true Tasaday, that she had testified falsely before because she had been intimidated by some of the hoax proponents. But was she telling the truth this time or was she telling the truth previously? When a witness tells two contradictory stories the stories must cancel each other out. One must look elsewhere for the truth.
During the 1980's and early 1990's the controversy ebbed and flowed with conflicting testimony and much confusion. Part of the problem all along had been in the use of testimony by various individuals filtered through several interpreters. For example, Oswald Iten would ask a question in English. Joey Lozano would translate it into Ilonggo. Datu Galang would then translate it into Manobo, which the Tasaday spoke. The answer would come back in Manobo translated to Ilonggo translated to English. Two translations were needed for every question. If either of the two translators had an agenda of his own then the answers you got back would be flawed. Both Lozano and Galang had an axe to grind. They wanted it to appear that the Tasaday were fakes. But why? The author suggests that both of them may have had ties to logging interests. If they could prove that the Tasaday tribe was a hoax then the 45,000 acres of land that had been set aside in their name would have to be rescinded.
In 1993 Elizalde sent the original audio tapes of the Tasaday (which had been recorded in 1972) to Dr. Lawrence Reid, a world renowned expert in Austronesian languages. Inexplicably, the tapes had never been analyzed by a competent linguist before now. If the Tasaday were indeed local T'boli tribes people posing as cavemen, as the hoax proponents suggested, then their recorded conversations on the tapes would be a dead giveaway. So Reid carefully analyzed the tapes and not a word of T'boli could be heard anywhere on them. The language was definitely Manobo but it was sufficiently different to indicate that the Tasaday had been separated from the main Manobo tribe for some period of time. Reid visited the Tasaday in the mid 90's in order to find out more about their language. His final conclusion was that the Tasaday were not fakes. But neither were they the primordial cavemen that Elizalde had painted them out to be. Their ancestors had been agriculturalists and in the very recent past too. Reid estimated that they had broken off from the main Manobo tribe as little as 100 to 150 years ago.
So the Tasaday were rehabilitated (at least in the opinion of the author) although some people to this day continue to believe that they are fakes. Their reservation is still intact, at least in theory. They are among the poorest people in the entire Philippines but they have regained some of their dignity that they lost due to the hoax accusations. The author himself visited the Tasaday in 1999 and he found that, unlike in the early 1970's, the Tasaday are no longer very trusting of outsiders. They were promised many things by Elizalde and by numerous outsiders. According to the Tasaday, the only outsider who kept his promises was John Nance who continues to provide financial support for them to this day. Many others have enriched themselves at their expense including Elizalde, Iten, and a host of journalists.
I enjoyed this book very much. It reads like a detective novel. Just when you think you know the ending, a new twist to the plot arrives and you go careening off in a whole new direction. This story is actually more about the gullibility, prejudice, and stupidity of the supposedly modern people who encountered the Tasaday than it is about the Tasaday themselves. This is a perfect example of how politics distorts what should be a purely scientific investigation. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the Philippines. I give it four stars.

Affidavit of Support for DV Lottery Winners.
Affidavit of support is known as sponsor in many part of the world and now it is must for all the DV Lottery winners who want to have their visa under the DV Lottery program each year. The DV Lottery (Green card lottery) instruction clearly states that all the US visa lottery winners must provided one affidavit of support through the I-134 form on the day of the interview. The petitioner must be an American citizen or must be an American LPR holder.
Also the petitioner must provide required relevant official papers to the greencard lottery winner. No other person can provide this Affidavit of support to the DV Lottery winner.
On the day of their interview greencard lottery winners must provide these documents to the interviewing consular officer. This requirement will apply to the US visa lottery winners too when they want to change their current US status to the U.S LPR status, through USCIS office.
Affidavit of support must be provided through the I-134 form. While some consular offices want them in I-864 form from the green card lottery winners to issue the Immigrant visas. Some time the agreed petitioner may change his mind and don't want to support you, so there is no problem in changing with a new petitioner's name and information on the day of the green card lottery interview.
Those people, who don't have a petitioner to provide an affidavit of support for them, can proof that they have on arrival job arrangements and enough funds to meet their needs in the USA. In this case, the consular officer will decide on whether to issue the required immigrant visa for the green card lottery winner or reject the visa depending on the funds and the available job.
American Government had introduced this rule as it had found out that many winners who had arrived in the USA in the early years with out proper support in the USA, did suffered without proper Jobs, lodging and food. Because of this that they had introduced the Affidavit of Support requirement for the current DV Lottery winners to be issued with the required visas.

"Twenty years ago, the center began its work out of tragic circumstances, the abduction and murder of Adam Walsh. Today, we are part of a national network of nonprofit centers helping thousands of children and families every year," stated Nancy A. McBride, NCMEC Director of Prevention Education. "We are proud to be associated with the SFGCSA and grateful to the community for their ongoing support of our mission: to help find missing children, and to prevent child victimization."
"The SFGCSA is one of our charter supporters and partners," said Reve Walsh, co-founder and board members of the NCMEC. "The children in Florida have access to child safety information and programs, and their parents have access to an efficient response team if their child is missing. This would not be possible without the continued loyal support of the SFGCSA."
In 1984, the South Florida Golf Course Superintendents Association board members, including Bill Entwistle Sr. and David Lottes, held the first tournament at Emerald Hills Country Club in Hollywood, Florida, several miles from where Adam was originally abducted. During the early years of the tournament, the site moved from Bonaventure to Inverrary Country Club, to its current home of Colony West Country Club, in Tamarac, Florida, where Dale Kuehner, CGCS is the host superintendent. The tournament committee has changed through the years as well, with Bill Entwistle Sr. turning chairman duties over to his son Billy Entwistle Jr., golf course superintendent/club manager of Flamingo Lakes Golf Club. This year's board members included Bryan Singleton, golf course superintendent of Riviera Country Club in Coral Gables; current SFGCSA president Kelly Cragin, golf course superintendent at Grenada Golf Club in Coral Gables; Dale Kuehner, CGCS; Bill Rayside, Harrell's fertilizer sales representative; Robert Klitz, CGCS, general manager of Orangebrook Country Club; Jim Goins, CGCS, from Hollybrook Golf & Tennis Club, and Bill McKee, golf course superintendent at Oak Tree Country Club.
The 2004 Tournament Committee was faced with the daunting challenge of trying to field a tournament in South Florida just days after the last of four hurricanes had destroyed homes, golf courses and businesses throughout the Sunshine State. The tournament apparently was a welcome relief for many who hung up their chain saws and generators for a day of fun and fellowship, benefiting a great cause. A full field of 152 players showed up, with area golf industry vendors pledging their financial support, and making the 2004 event a record breaking fund-raising success.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) is a private, 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 1984 as a national resource center on child protection, and a clearinghouse for information on child victimization. Since its creation, NCMEC has assisted law enforcement on more than 77,000 cases of missing children, and has played a role in the location and recovery of more than 60,000 children. For more information about NCMEC, please call 1-800-THE-LOST, 24 hours a day, or visit the website at: www.missingkids.com.

Retired N.J. officer dies in gun-cleaning accident
By RUSSELL BEN-ALI
Police Chief Thomas Comey said the retired officer, whose name is not being released until his son in the military is notified, was alone when the shooting occurred at 11:40 a.m. He suffered a wound to the upper left part of his chest, officials said.
The 53-year-old victim, who retired in 2000, was hired as a civilian employee of the police department in 2006. He had been working in the same K-9 unit, at the police department's emergency services building on Route 440, where he had served for many years while an officer, officials said.

Hi Clembo,
Can you be more specific.
Which partition are you trying to delete?
Please post a screenshot.
Do you mean Paragon partition manager pro?
If it 's not letting you delete something - there will be a good reason.
Are you trying to delete your First partition - with Vista on it perhaps?
If so that will probably be the System partition - if you delete that , you won't be able to boot.

OK, when SIW asked for more information, a one liner is not going to cut it.
There are literally millions of different combination of partitions I can make on a simple 10 MB (yes Megabyte, not Gigabyte) disk - so expanding that by a factor of 1000 to a 10 GB disk you get combination numbering well into the *billions*.
Therefor, we need a *lot* more information other than just "you cannot delete the partition."
However, from taking a pure and total guess here, I am guessing that you are trying to delete the system partition that contains the Windows 7 boot information - and if you do that you'll prevent your computer from booting.
Now, again, please tell us exactly what you're trying to do, and why, and keep in mind the 3 points I made above.

Marie Osmond has been dancing off the pounds as a contestant on the hit ABC show Dancing with the Stars. At age 48 and the mother of eight children she is dancing up a storm with six hour practices! She revealed that she joined the show not so much to develop her dancing skills but to diet and lose weight. So far she's peeled 3 inches off her waist. She's taking the show all in stride and she isn't worried about being voted off.. she quips that "25 million viewers will vote and 22 million are Osmonds!"
Marie Osmond: Diet
Marie is big on salads and veggies. She also says she's using Nutrisystem. Marie puts her weight struggle in perspective "You know every chick's on a diet!" and jokes that the show should be called "Dancing with the Starved."
Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh In…
It appears like Nutrisystem has found success by hiring contestants on Dancing with the Stars to plug their weight loss system. Joey Fatone was last year's Nutrisystem pitchman and he lost a reported 40 lbs on the show. Marie shouldn't feel like she's starving however. She needs to up her intake of low calorie foods to curb hunger and keep her metabolism up. With six hour practices she's a calorie burning Diva, chewing up about 1500 calories per session! Marie's looking great and we'll be voting for her along with the other 22 million Osmonds!

A proof that shows that anything can be better that the Twilight saga.
By the way, this is my first flash animation. I hope you like it.
Rated 2 / 5 stars April 11, 2012
To be honest, this kind of thing has been a recurring joke on YouTube comments for quite a while now. For a really abrupt/humorous thing like this, somebody will always be there to say it's better than Twilight.
It's kinda getting old, just like making fun of Justin Bieber. I notice the balloon thing is supposed to be funny, and the point is that it's so insignificant it is still better than Twilight, but I have a few suggestions that might make it funnier.
Something that would've been much better was a buildup with the balloon. This could work with another choice of sad music. Where it's being shown leaving, and eventually floating up faster and faster.
You might misinterpret that last paragraph and think "but it's not supposed to be serious." If it's serious, then the comedic exaggeration will make it even funnier.
just some pointers

short and sweet, just like this review :)

well you don't lie...
that was better than twilight
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars April 11, 2012
meh wasn't really that funny but yeah still better than twilight + the loop is quite annoying
Rated 2 / 5 stars April 11, 2012
Meh, short but funny
Yes, I know is short. But, I just began to learn animation in flash. In the next ones I will make better and longer movies.
Thanks for your review.

Fun and fast with no stuff
After studying examples of the fastest runners inside worldspecifically their movement, foot placement and overall running techniquePUMA produced new technology called ニューバランス 574 ブラック BioRide to the Faas collection.
For those of us who weren't born in the gifts of Usain Bolt or Haile Gebrselassie, BioRide is meant to help our feet exercise much like the elites. Put differently, the Faas enables the foot to flex naturally, offering a smoother ride and natural stability.
PUMA sent me a set of two hot pink Faas 500s to test, footwear essential middle of the new collection with regard to weight and support. The Faas 250 to illustrate, is 2 ounces lighter, that is advertised being super minimalist racer.
Weighing in at 7.5 ounces (in any women's size 8), the Faas 500 is three ounces lighter than my everyday trainer, and a ton more pleasurable.
It's my job to run within a light stability shoe, i really was actually a little nervous the fact that the Faas 500, a neutral trainer, wouldn't offer enough support. I place the Faas 500 through multiple workouts, and so i wasn't disappointed.
I am a slight overpronator, and regularly are band issues after i run in neutral shoes. The Faas collection uses something Puma calls Groove, what a carved out area along side the outside the midsole. It compresses upon impact providing added cushioning. Because there's no Groove in the medial side, the shoe naturally corrects for slight overpronation.
The Fass 500 doesn't supplies a good deal of support, if you're mild overpronator, it may well work. I wouldn't, however, recommend them for heavier runners or severe overpronators (Check http://baitalanbat.org/lib/index.asp?q=1427 for analysis the Faas 800).
In relation to cushioning, the Faas 500 rides comparable to a Cadillac. I liked the plush feel from the shoe, but runners who like a stiffer ride want to look elsewhere. The top of the is super comfortable, but offers little support.
The Faas 500 fits in keeping with size, however toe box is a bit narrow. Should you have a broad forefoot, or such as a little more room to spread your toes, you might find the Faas 500 too snug.
Regarding the styling, the faux suede within the upper behaves as a cool old-fashioned look, although the shoes don't breath nearly as well as a mesh trainer like the Puma Faas 550.
Check to put an assessment of the Puma Faas 550.
Overall, the Puma Faas 500 is incredible lightweight training shoe that's http://jukiindia.com/moselilist/index.asp?q=rayban-1265 ideal neutral runners and slight overpronators who're seeking a fun and fast shoe with no many extra gadgets.

Are they or aren't they? Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez have remained resolutely silent over rampant engagement reports, but now insiders are attempting to play down the wedding whispers.
First up is jewelry company Gurhan, which initially assured People that it had indeed sold the French actor the emerald-and-diamond ring the twice-divorced Oscar winner has recently been sporting on her all-important finger (see below).
But the company is now backing away from that claim, perhaps after receiving an irate call from Berry's rep.
"Although Halle is a great fan of Gurhan, we cannot confirm that she is wearing a Gurhan design," a spokesman sidesteps to the mag.
According to a Berry source, she denied being engaged just last week, and TMZ reiterates that, as of a few days ago, she wasn't betrothed, with spies acknowledging that the ring was a gift from Martinez but insisting it wasn't accompanied by a proposal.
Still, the chatty snitches add that the couple, who hooked up on the set of "Dark Tide" in the summer of 2010, are in a "committed relationship," so a knot-tying "could be in the cards."
Earlier this week, Us reported that Halle was "overjoyed" when Olivier popped the question with the bejeweled ring.
"She had given up on getting married," explained a confidant. "But she trusts Olivier. He makes her feel safe. He's a keeper!"
Berry, who has repeatedly (and definitively) declared her intention never to marry again, was supposedly sold on his bond with her 3-year-old daughter, Nahla, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.
"Olivier has become a great father figure," said the source. "He is tender with both of them, yet he's strong and protective. He wants to take care of Halle."
Just like he did when onetime girlfriend Kylie Minogue was suffering from breast cancer.
Speaking of which, on Thursday, the pop queen tweeted her excitement for the pair ("Congrats to Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry!!#wedding"), although it seems her well-wishes, and everyone else's, may have been a bit premature. Maybe in the future, Halle could avoid all the speculation by wearing her accessories on a different digit.

'Marriage Ref' is Light Fare ... but Fun
NBC's new primetime reality show is smothered in sauce, low on any real meat -- but has the high fat we sometimes crave.
Dr. Wendy Walsh: Okay, the critics hate it. But there's something refreshing about NBC's new reality show, "The Marriage Ref": It's a new format. With genius Jerry Seinfeld behind the show -- complete with his trademark ability to make six minutes of comedy out of a minute-long bit of life's banality -- this sitcom-meets-"America's Funniest Home Videos" could find an audience.
In the show's sneak-peek pilot, Seinfeld and a celebrity panel comprised of Alec Baldwin and Kelly Ripa analyzed two of the most bizarre couples' arguments ever to make it to national television: whether a man should keep his deceased dog after a "resurrection" at the taxidermist, and whether a long-married couple should install a stripper pole in their living room.
Audiences learned via host Tom Papa's opening monologue that this show is in no way intended to provide actual couples therapy; he advised viewers to stop looking for their soulmates and instead to find people they could sleep next to without throwing up. (With so much laughter, in fact, there's no way the show could ever deal with the sensitive trials that throw real couples on the rocks.)
The "American Idol"-style banter from the judges was given a whiff of credibility by the lovely Natalie Morales of NBC News, who spouted related statistics (such as, "One thousand Americans have had their pet stuffed" and "Stripper-pole exercise can burn many calories"). A weird appearance by the now-elderly sportscaster Marv Albert -- who gave a play-by-play of the couples' knockout punches -- was only interesting if you were old enough to remember Marv's own infamous sex scandal.
As a mom whose thoughts carry the daily burden of Haiti, kids' grades, Afghanistan and recession woes, I found "The Marriage Ref" to be a light respite. It's a chance to giggle at silly family problems that shouldn't ever be taken seriously, anyway. Still, Twitterhounds, bloggers and some real TV critics were clearly not blown away by the opening episode. But I'm a mother who loves to nurture and give my children a second chance to succeed, so I'll tune in again.
Plus, the revolving celebrity panel promises future appearances from Madonna, Larry David and Tiny Fey, among others. There could be some comedic jewels in upcoming episodes. I mean, who doesn't want to hear what the Material Girl has to say about marriage?
|Dr. Wendy Walsh holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, and her area of interest is Attachment Theory -- a psychological, evolutionary and ethological theory that provides a descriptive and explanatory framework for understanding interpersonal relationships between human beings. As a psychological assistant registered with the California Board of Psychology, Dr. Walsh has treated individuals, couples and families for a variety of mental-health concerns, including personality disorders, anger management, eating and substance disorders and depression. Connect with Dr. Walsh on Facebook.
That sounds like a fun show. I can always use some comedy to help relieve the stress in my life. I think I'll try to watch it or DVR an episode. Have a terrific Monday!
I'm still waiting for Alec Baldwin to leave the USA.
As a Newbie, I am continuously exploring online for articles that can benefit me. Thank you. %WEBSITE%
