The Parent-Child Bond: Q&A with Guest Lecturer
by AMNH on
The effects of a parent's bond with a child have been a popular topic in the news. But what does the science say? The Museum's upcoming four-week course The Parent-Child Bond: Behind the Science of Attachment, which begins on April 17, will explore the latest psychology and neuroscience on attachment through expert guest speakers, online resources, documentary footage, and in-class projects. Howard Steele, a professor of psychology at The New School and founder of the journal Attachment & Human Development, will be a guest lecturer for the course and also appears in the Museum's attachment-themed Science Bulletin, part of the Museum's innovative exhibition and online media program. Below, Steele answers a few questions about the psychological effects of parent-child relationships.
Decades of Discovery on St. Catherines Island
by AMNH on
David Hurst Thomas is the curator of North American Archaeology in the Museum's Division of Anthropology and has spent his career studying the human history of St. Catherines Island. Below, he explains how archaeological finds are proving history books wrong.
For nearly four decades, it's been my privilege to work as an archaeologist on St. Catherines—a Manhattan-sized island 10 miles off the Georgia coastline. One of the storied Golden Isles, St. Catherines is privately owned; only two people live there. Forty years ago, the Edward John Noble Foundation established a long-term relationship with the American Museum of Natural History to pursue scientific research, conservation, and education on the island.
Zach Baldwin on How Ponyfishes and Flashlight Fishes Shine
by AMNH on
Curator John Sparks is blogging weekly about the upcoming exhibition, Creatures of Light, which opens on Saturday, March 31. This week, he invited Zach Baldwin, a Ph.D. student at the Museum's Richard Gilder Graduate School who works in the Department of Ichthyology and who consulted on the exhibition, to contribute the guest post below.
A common misconception about bioluminescent fishes is that they all live in the perpetual darkness of the deep sea. In truth, one of the most fascinating aspects of bioluminescence is the diversity of organisms and environments in which the phenomenon is known to occur. There are bioluminescent fishes occurring on coral reefs, in estuaries, and even in the rocky intertidal zone along coastlines. Approximately 100 species in nine families of fishes that live in shallow marine waters are known to luminesce.
New Finding: Dinosaur's Feathers Were Black with Iridescent Sheen
by AMNH on
A pigeon-sized, four-winged dinosaur known as Microraptor had black iridescent feathers when it roamed the Earth 130 million years ago, according to new research led by a team of American and Chinese scientists that includes Museum researchers. The dinosaur's fossilized plumage is the earliest record of iridescent feather color. The findings, which suggest the importance of display in the early evolution of feathers, are published in the March 9 edition of the journal Science.
"This study gives us an unprecedented glimpse at what this animal looked like when it was alive," said Mark Norell, one of the paper's authors and chair of the Museum's Division of Paleontology.
Extremophiles and Life Beyond Earth
by AMNH on
Research about organisms that can weather Earth's harshest environments has broadened ideas of where living things can thrive. On Sunday, March 11, the Museum's 2012 Milstein Science Series kicks off with Extremophiles: Life in Extreme Environments, an exploration of how such organisms survive and what studying Earth's extremophiles could mean for the search for extraterrestrial life. Seth Shostak, one of the guest speakers at the March 11 program, is a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute and researches whether life—from the intelligent to the extreme—could exist elsewhere in the universe. Below, Shostak answers a few questions about extremophiles and the search beyond life as we know it.

2012 Year in Review: The 10 Best Movies
The Master
With each film that Paul Thomas Anderson makes, he continues to establish himself as a creative force to be reckoned with – irrepressible, unique and transcendent of the conventions that dominate the remainder of the moviemaking landscape. And while he certainly didn't pay deliberate tribute to himself with his latest effort, he shares more than a little in common with his protagonist Freddie Quell in The Master, the story of a man whose inability to suppress his own essential needs comes at the cost of a relationship he just as desperately wants to fulfill.
As the two men whose natures are in direct opposition but who find themselves inextricably drawn to one another, Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman deliver master-class performances, which by itself makes the movie worth watching. But Anderson's unhurried but economical character study is constantly surprising – an incredibly rare quality in almost any film these days – while still managing to reinforce and explore more deeply the id-versus-superego dynamic that defines the central relationship in this affecting, remarkable film.

Arcade Fire rolls out "Reflektor" (Updated 12/12/13)
The making of Arcade Fire's fourth studio album was not without its challenges. The roof collapsed on the church they had been using as a studio, forcing the band to work in several different recording studios. But the project came together in time for its October 28 release date, carrying the name "Reflektor."
Influenced by Haitian rara music, the 1959 film "Black Orpheus" and Soren Kierkegaard's essay "The Present Age," the album's release piggybacked off a guerrilla marketing campaign and the release of a limited single edition (the band's full project is a double album). It not only received mass critical praise, Rolling Stone ranked it at No. 5 on their "50 Best Albums of 2013" list, while it came in at No. 10 on Stereogum's list.
Speaking of promotion, Arcade fire were also guests on the 39th season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" on September 28. They also appeared in a half-hour special on NBC called "Arcade Fire in Here comes the Night Time" immediately after SNL. In early November they also played at the YouTube Music Awards, and their performance featured an experimental "live video" directed by Spike Jonze and starring actress Greta Gerwig.
Arcade Fire recently announced a huge show scheduled for Dublin's Marlay Park on June 29, 2014. (Support at the outdoor gig will come from the Pixies). The date comes just a few weeks after the band is also penciled in to play two shows at London's Earls Court (on June 6/7). Right now, all of their UK and Ireland tour dates fall in the festival season.
Arcade Fire finds success overwhelming (Updated January 2, 2013)
Already in high demand following the release of their first two studio albums, the members of Arcade Fire played a number of high-profile festivals such as Lollapalooza and Coachella and maintained a constant tour schedule. At one point, these road warriors had played 122 shows in 75 cities and 19 countries through 2007 as part of the "Neon Bible" tour, before opening 2008 by playing a number of free concerts in support of Barack Obama.
Ambition outweighed exhaustion when the band set to work on its next album, and "The Suburbs" bowed in August 2010. The album debuted at No 1. On the Irish, UK, U.S. and the Canadian Albums Charts. The band then officially crashed into the mainstream by capturing Album of the Year at the 2011 Grammy Awards, and a taste of success became a deluge&mdasheven at a time when the band pursued anonymity, and still preferred small club crowds over raucous arena shows.
The burgeoning mainstream success was in many ways overwhelming for the band, and they took some time to fade away from the noise instead of embrace it. They didn't truly resurface until recording a song for "The Hunger Games" soundtrack in 2012 called "Abraham's Daughter."
The biggest rumor surrounding the band's fourth album was that former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy was helping out on the project. Rumor became reality when Scott Rodger, manager for Arcade Fire, let slip to the media that the collaboration could involve 'three or so songs.' He offered no further details when the record would be ready, only offering it would likely be a late 2013 release.
About Arcade Fire
This Grammy Award winning group of multi-instrumentalists (originally founded by Canadian Husband/Wife team Win Butler and Renee Chassange) and eclectic musicians continue to feed the fire of Alt-Rock as they create a sound that defies any easy descriptions or simple categorization. Art/Folk/Rock/World, call it what you will, Arcade Fire soaks it all in and blows it all out in a musical melange of seductive mystery and propulsive rhythms, mashed, mixed and melted into their own brand of sonic joy bounced and belted to the constant delight of their devoted listeners everywhere. Arcade Fire may be the creative soundwave of Rock's future. They're also known for putting The National on the map; Arcade Fire had The National open for them on several tours.

Here's another how-to from zharvek over at Archaic Binary. The original post can be found at the link. Tribbs was the second BBS software I ran way back in the early '90s. I probably used it for about a year or so before moving on to something I could modify a bit more.
Ah what an adventure this is getting to be. As you may know I'm setting up my old Telnet BBS again, not just the door games, but the full system including File Areas, Message Bases, and yes the Door Games.
I have all the games working so far, and file transfers are fine when you use a good client (mTelnet or SyncTerm).

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman Old school? Or a fresh face? Just looking at the Cambridge Audio Azur 651A, you get a little unstuck in time. Is it an exquisitely "old-school" integrated amp everything you need for classic, analog stereo without any unneeded bells and whistles? Well, yes, but wait. The design is decidedly up-tempo and modern. And what's this USB port on the rear panel? That's the indication that the 651A is not your father's integrated amp. The analog features you want... The 651A will handle analog stereo sources with the best in the field, process them without coloration, and feed them to the muscular amplifier stage. That's when things really get good: separate transformer taps and power supply units for the left and right channels manage 75 watts of robust, pristine power for startlingly quick transients and powerful, yet musical bass you can feel down to your core. ... and the digital processing you need The Cambridge Audio Azur 651A features a USB connection. Of course, that's just what you'd expect from a Cambridge Audio integrated amp. But there's a nice surprise waiting. The USB input we mentioned before is a port to an internal DAC that processes your computer's audio files and delivers them to the analog preamp section with minimal jitter or other undesirable artifacts. And for most computers there's no need to install any new drivers. One connection and you're ready to go. The handsome, acoustically damped chassis features a brushed-aluminum, matte-black finish. The precision volume control means the 651A will deliver even low-volume levels with impact, presence and minimal noise.

You get power to drive your speakers, audio controls, and inputs for music source components. Connect an iPod, a computer, a network music player, or any other device that can play Internet radio, and you may find you have no need for an AM/FM radio.

After spending a little time with the unit and honing in my studio connections, I am very happy with the purchase. I was going to return the unit and purchase a NAD DAC integrated amp; however, for the price; a no brainer. I am running a pair of vintage Klipsch Heresy II with the amp. Incredible!! Pros: Easy to use; had more of a problem synchronizing everything with my Presonus software. Once in, it's killer!! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No AWESOME AMP!! Written By Will, South Dakota on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was wanting a simple amp with CLEAN POWER. Being OLD school wanted to be able to hook it up with out a lot of problems. Has all the power needed to run four speakers with power left over. Have not had a need to go much over a quarter of the volume to have crisp ,clean music!! Was simple to hook up, and even simpler to use. Want old school ease with new school power, then this is the AMP to have. All the company reps where GREAT to work with. Not sure what your looking for, ask a Rep. They led me to this GREAT AMP. You shouldn't be disappointed with this one. Pros: Nothing hard to use about it. Hook it up and enjoy great ,clean music. Cons: NONE...... 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good Deal Good Experience Written By MartinR, Philadelphia on Thursday, March 05, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'd been looking for an amp to place in a small to medium space. Didn't want to spend a ton of dough because its not my critical listening area but I wanted quality performance. I looked at a lot of amps and settled on this one. Happy with the choice and the price. Plenty of power for my application (2 bookshelf speakers and a powered sub) . sounds very good when sourced by a computer and an audio engine d-1 dac. I wouldn't bother with the internal DAC unless you're forced to. its just OK. Solidly built and handsome to look at in an understated way. (well I think so). You should consider this one if its in your price range. Also I was very pleased with the purchasing process and quick shipment. kudos to Crutchfield! Pros: Very Good performance / value at this price Well constructed feels solid Plenty of power Cons: Internal DAC is meh. Indicator lighting could be better but I really don't spend a lot of time looking at it. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best Amp Written By Antonio, New York on Tuesday, February 17, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The best amp I've ever owned, The moment I plugged in, I knew that was a special thing, the sound was just unbelievable. It made my speakers sound like heroes. Pros: Great sound at great price, it is all you need, to have proper audiophile sound 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No wow! Written By Matthew, WI on Monday, January 19, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great amp! I previously had the NAD T758 and that sounded.. ok.. it had amazing hi's and midrange however the bass seemed like it was missing something. Kind of doggy, sliggish, boring. This system out of the box sounds like a real hi-fi system. The simplicity of the design is what makes the difference. The bass is tight and punchy, Hi's are crisp and clean not harsh, and the mids sound mellow with a little bite here and there during rock music all the way to the piano guys and enya. Imaging is clear and thats something the NAD completely missed compaired to this system. Its driving my Monitor Audio Silver 10's without a problem through audioquest oval cables. I couldn't be happier! Very impressed Cambridge very indeed! Pros: Crisp Hi's clean mids punchy and straight forward bass. plenty of power!! im not biamped yet! The Imaging! Cons: Non to be found yet. maybe the fact the only way to use the DAC is by usb and not coax or optical. but the sound may be cleaner without those two. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No revelation Written By kjj, Massachusetts on Monday, December 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this integrated amp for two weeks now and I am very happy with it. I have Polk LSi7 bookshelf speakers with a powered sub and they were hooked up to a Onkyo receiver that I was happy with but wondered if an integrated amp would be an improvement. I have to say I'm amazed at the difference. More detailed highs and more powerful bass, more overall detail and dimension in the sound. I read some reviews that said some amplifiers were "fatiguing" to listen to and didn't understand until I compared this to my old receiver. A volume that I would only listen at for one song with the receiver I listened at for two hours with the 651A. The 651A also places instruments more precisely and made my small den seem much bigger than it is, and the DAC makes streamed music sound great too. Pros: Terrific clean full sound Cons: no outlets on the back, not a big deal to me but worth mentioning. the only way to select A or B speakers is with the remote, not sure what happens if the remote quits. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No I have no words to express Written By nprathap, California on Sunday, December 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been doing a lot of research for finding a best amplifier which will do justice to my listening choice and sources I have and finally I have my hands on CA Azur 651A. Elegant and it pairs very well with my KEF LS50 speakers and both european brands and what more to say it is an awesome combination which is joyful and musical! its been few days I have them connected and both the AMP and speaker is burning in and I will feel the true and even more sweetest musical treat in coming days. I am so thankful to crutch field team getting my AMP what I was looking for from last 2 years... for an awesome price during the holiday. I got Nancy from crutchfield who helped me to have my faith more stronger in this product. We work, spend time with family and friends and there could be moments where you needs your own time and space, where you might be bound my emotions, feelings and as we say "You enjoy the music when you are happy and you listen to the lyrics when you are sad" and CA 651 can make you happy - the clarity of the sound you get from it is Amazing, and more over the mid and the high frequency signals are very well engineered and you can feel the music as you hear the artist perform live. My setup when I plugged it to the speakers I experienced the true sense of disappearance. It was the most joyous moment which I will ever remember! The support was excellent and I received my order as promised and a safe delivery with great problem free package over all no complaints! Pros: Crisp and clear. It takes a while to burn in, once you have the right cable, speakers and power supply its phenomenal. More value for money and it is really a premium amplifier. I was lucky that I got the holiday price discount and its worth the buy! I have a monitor headphone and the headphone out on the AMP makes it a treat too, if i have to use it just for myself when there are people around. You will start listening to the musical notes which you might have missed, music is so detaile Cons: None. I wish the DAC was 24 bit. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Cambridge Audio 651A Written By RichardK, Raymond, Ms on Monday, March 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After purchasing a pair of high end floor standing speakers, I wanted an integrated amp that would fully take advantage of the incredible sound capabilities of these speakers. After some helpful, expert advice from Norm, my Crutchfield advisor, I selected this Cambridge unit. I am amazed the diffference this amp makes to truly make these speakers "sing" at their best. Pros: Ability to create incredible sound from your stereo components. Cons: Pricy, but worth it if you want high quality sound results. Wish it had a phono input. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Cambridge Audio 651A Written By JonzDad, Tucson, AZ on Friday, December 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent amplifier for home. Delivers clean and clear sound with even power distribution across the entire audio spectrum. No discernable bias to bass, mid-range, or treble results in full audio presence. Result is very satisfying full and natural sound. Pros: Great sound. Easy installation. Intuitive controls. Connections fool-proof and solid. Cons: A difficulty that all amplifiers have, and no resolution yet: a very smart electronic control to suppress speaker "thump" when other connected devices are turned on and off. Not doable yet, but I can always hope. 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Full Metal Chassis: The 651A integrated amplifier features an acoustically damped, low resonance full-metal chassis with a thick, brushed aluminum front-panel. 75W x 2Ch Integrated Amp: The Cambridge Audio Azur 651A delivers an impressive 75 watts per channel into 8 ohms, at 20-20kHz, with 0.03% THD at 80% rated power. Fully Discreet Amplifier Circuitry: The 651A integrated amplifier has separate transformers for left and right channels, twin rectifiers, and separate PSUs for dual mono operation of the left and right power. ALPS " Black Box" Volume Encoder: The 651A integrated amplifier uses a high end ALPS "Black Box: volume encoder that all of the signal goes through this at all times, so this is a very key component. Benefits include perfect channel balance at all volume levels and improved and stereo separation. Toroidal Transformer: Unlike a lot manufactures who use cheap laminate type transformers, the 651A use an audiophile grade toroidal transformer offering minimal electro magnetic interference and delivering superior audio performance. Heat Sink: The 651A integrated amplifier features substantial extruded heat sinks, allowing the amp to deliver incredible power and control. Polypropylene Capacitors: New low inductance resistors and polypropylene signal capacitors are used for superior audio performance. Buffered Input Circuitry: The 651A features buffered input circuitry for superior audio performance, including lower crosstalk and improved stereo imaging. It also uses new low dissipation polypropylene signal capacitors and custom made electrolytic capacitors in critical positions. Redesigned Output Stage: The 651A integrated amplifier uses completely redesigned output stages with new Sanken output transistors, improving bass response and dynamics even further. 5-Way Protection System: Cambridge Audio has developed a proprietary protection system to ensure reliability and long life of its amplifiers. This proprietary protection system is known as "CAP5 protection circuitry". This protection system comprises five main protection methods: DC Detection: CAP5 offers loudspeaker protection if the output of the amplifier goes to a high constant voltage (DC). Over Temperature Detection: AP5 includes temperature detection which constantly monitors the heat generated by the output transistors. If the monitored temperature reaches a high level (suitably within the limits of the output devices) the amplifier will automatically switch into a fault mode. Over Voltage Detection: CAP5 offers V/I protection by constantly monitoring the output transistors to keep them working inside their Safe Operating Area (SOA). The SOA is a set of limits given by the output transistor manufacturer to ensure reliability. V/I also protects the amplifier against short-circuits on the speaker terminals during use. Short-Circuit Detection: During power up from Standby, CAP5 performs a check on the loudspeaker terminals to see if a short across the terminals has been accidentally introduced. If the resistance measured across the loudspeaker terminals is too low, the unit will remain in Standby mode until the fault has been removed and power up is re-attempted. Intelligent Clipping Detection: CAP5 has the ability to detect when the amplifier starts to clip or overdrive at its output, which can damage loudspeakers and degrade the sound. Clipping distortion is caused at high volume levels when the output signal briefly goes outside the maximum voltage that the amplifier can provide, causing the tops of the signal to flatten off. When CAP5 detects clipping, the volume will be automatically nudged down until CAP5 detects an undistorted output. Standby Circuit: This innovative new circuitry design allows 651A integrated amplifier to consume less than 1 watt of power when in Standby, but itself remains totally isolated and non-detrimental to the sound quality when the amplifier is in operation. Controls Main Power Switch: The 651A integrated amplifier's main power on/off switch is located on the rear-panel. Standby/On: Once the amp's rear-panel main power switch has been turned On, you can switch the 651A On/Off using the front-panel Standby/On button. Volume: Use the front-panel rotary volume control to increase or decrease the level of the sound from the outputs of the amplifier. The volume control affects the level of the loudspeaker output, the preamp output, and the headphone output. It does not affect the Rec Out connections. A/B Operation: The Cambridge Audio 651A integrated amplifier lets you play A speakers only, B speakers only, or A and B speakers together. Direct: This control gives the audio signal a more direct path to the power amplifier stage of your amplifier, bypassing the bass and treble control circuits for the purest possible sound quality. Bass and Treble: The 651A integrated amplifier has independent Bass (20Hz) and Treble (20kHz) controls which can be adjusted from +/-7.5dB. The Bass and Treble controls only effect the speaker and preamp outputs; they do not effect the record outputs. Balance: This control allows you to adjust the relative output levels of the left and right speaker channels. The Balance control only effects the speaker and preamp outputs; it does not effect the record outputs. IR Remote Control: The 651A is supplied with an Azur Navigator IR remote control that operates both this amplifier and Cambridge Audio Azur-series CD players. The Azur 651AC Navigator remote control can also control the basic functions of Apple devices, such as Apple TV and Apple's iPod/iPhone/iPad when docked in a Cambridge Audio or Apple dock (sold separately). Note: The remote operates off of three "AAA" batteries (supplied). Connections Analog Audio Inputs: The Cambridge Audio 651A integrated amplifier is fitted with five pair of gold-plated analog audio inputs (RCA) to connect your external audio sources; such as your Blu-ray/DVD player, AM/FM tuner, CD/SACD player, or Network Player. Note: The 651A integrated amp is not equipped with digital inputs/outputs or video inputs/outputs. There is also no Phono input. Analog Audio Outputs: The 651A integrated amplifier features two pair of gold-plated analog audio outputs (RCA) that can be connected to a CD recorder, MiniDisc recorder, or tape recorder. Front-Panel Aux Input: The Cambridge Audio 651A integrated amplifier features a front-panel Auxiliary (3.5mm) input to connect your portable MP3 player or other portable audio device. USB Port: The 651A integrated amplifier is fitted with a rear-panel USB (type-B) full-speed 1.1 port allowing USB audio streaming from your Windows PC (XP, Vista, 7) or Mac computer (Mac OSX 10.5 or higher). The USB port supports 16-bit/32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz audio. A-B Speaker Terminals: The Cambridge Audio 651A integrated amplifier is equipped with two sets of gold-plated, binding-post speaker terminals (labeled A and B). The use of A and B speaker terminals allow you to hook up speakers in another room. Note: When using two pairs of speaker, use only speakers with a minimum nominal impedance of 8 ohms. Subwoofer Output: The 651A integrated amplifier is equipped with a mono subwoofer output to connect a powered subwoofer for added bass response. Preamp Output: The Cambridge Audio 651A is equipped with a pair of RCA preamp outputs to connect the integrated amp to an external power amplifier. Record Outputs: The 651A also features two pair of gold-plated analog audio record outputs (RCA) that can be connected to a CD recorder, MiniDisc recorder, or tape recorder. Headphone Output: The 651A integrated amplifier offers a front-panel 1/4" headphone output to connect a set of headphones for private listening. When headphones are connected, the output to both A/B loudspeakers is muted. Use headphones with an impedance of between 32 and 600 ohms.

Ana lost 7-5, 6-3 to fifth seed Roberta Vinci in the quarter-finals of the PTT Pattaya Open.
The 23-year-old was broken in the opening game, as she served two double faults. However, she was soon on level terms and the match was keenly contested throughout the first set.
Ana was hitting the ball cleanly but appeared to lack the conviction to go for the lines. Vinci capitalised, using her slice-backhand down-the-line masterfully.
The Italian served for the set at 5-4 but Ana broke back, only to produce one of her worst service games of the tournament in the following game. Vinci served out the set.
Ana fell a break behind early in the second set. She had several opportunities to break back when trailing 4-3, but the ultra-consistent Vinci was in no mood to let her back in it, and Ana suffered her first loss to the Italian in five matches.
"She played really well," said Ana. "I felt like I was very much in the match, and I wasn't far away from playing some good tennis, but I couldn't quite find my rhythm.
"I'm not too disappointed overall. I'm never happy to lose in the quarter-finals of a tournament, but after the disappointments of Melbourne I'm pleased I could get three matches under my belt, and I hope to build on this in Dubai and Doha.
Ana, who was making her first appearance in Thailand, added: "I'd love to come back.
"I've had a really nice time off the court. Everyone was so friendly and smiling, and there are many places here that I would like to visit.

Felipe Massa set the pace in Friday's practice for the Chinese GP, edging ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso...
Felipe Massa: "Today, I immediately had a good feeling in the car and even if, at the start, I was not completely happy with the performance of the Medium compound and we were not as quick as our rivals, the times were good all the same. When I fitted the Softs, the car improved a lot and this meant I was able to set the fastest time of the day. It was impressive, like driving two completely different cars. Our race pace looks competitive, the car is handling well on both types of tyre and degradation was not excessive, even if the higher wear rate of the Soft compared to the Medium compound will be an important factor when it comes to choosing the right strategy. I feel confident and hope that the whole weekend can keep moving in this direction".
Fernando Alonso: "By the end of the day, the overall feeling is positive. We worked well and on top of that, it's always great fun driving the Shanghai track which has some really unique features, such as the first corner. From one session to the next the track conditions improved significantly, because the other categories that ran after our morning session cleaned the surface. The increase in temperature means the conditions were very similar to those predicted for tomorrow. Once again, tyres will play a key role in this Grand Prix because of the high level of degradation over a long run. We will have to ensure we pick the right strategy for Sunday, as well as deciding on which of the new parts we tried this morning to fit to the car. As usual, we can expect a long evening studying the data."
Lotus F1:
Kimi Raikkonen: "If you look at the lap time it looks to have been a pretty okay day. For sure there are things we have to improve and you never know what will happen tomorrow but it's a reasonable start to the weekend. We seem to be happy with the soft tyres and maybe not as happy with the harder ones. We've still got time to improve and we're certainly not struggling so it could be a good weekend."
Romain Grosjean: "Today was not so easy for me and I'm still looking for the right setup. I ran with the new exhaust package in the morning and the older one in the afternoon to try to help find where improvements can be made. We now have a lot of data to help find the extra performance we want. The new front wing helps, so that's a step in the right direction. In Malaysia we developed the car as the weekend continued and there are of course a few things we can change overnight. It's a new day tomorrow and we'll hopefully be able to have the car as I'd like it for a strong result this weekend."
Nico Rosberg: "It was good to be back on the track here in Shanghai where I have experienced some really good moments in my career. I felt very comfortable in the car and it was a productive day for us, we definitely learnt a lot. We looked good on one lap, but there is some work still to do on the longer runs. Tyre degradation was particularly high on the option tyre out there today. So we need to analyse this and decide what is best to do in the race."
Lewis Hamilton: "We've made a good start today but there is a lot of work to do overnight. The car feels reasonable although I'm still finding myself a little uncomfortable so we made a change for the afternoon session which was a really positive step. I'm hoping that we can continue to improve as I spend more time in the car. The tyres are going to be challenging this weekend, particularly the option compound. Our pace looked good and although I had some traffic on my quick lap, there was enough to give me a good feeling. We'll find out in qualifying where we really are."
Red Bull:
Mark Webber: "It was good today and we achieved a lot of mileage. There are obviously some pretty quick cars out there - we saw that in Malaysia before it rained in qualifying. We're getting a lot of information, but we're still in this early phase of learning about the tyres. I think that we have a bit of work to do, but the car doesn't feel too bad, we just have to keep working on understanding the tyres. It's nice to have a stable weekend in terms of weather, which is unusual in Shanghai."
Sebastian Vettel: "Today was a tricky day for us. I struggled a bit this afternoon and the gap to the guys at the top is a little bit bigger than I'd like. There are two or three things that we need to work on and then we should be in a better shape for tomorrow. I think we know what we need to do. It looks like the soft tyre is the one for qualifying, but it seems that we won't see that many stints on the soft tyre during the race."

He is THE greatest
Here is a look into how awesome Josh is. Here are the texts that Josh sent me after the Pocatello Marathon on Saturday morning.
(these are after I texted him that I had finished... knew I had BQ'ed and PR'ed but wasn't sure of my exact time)
- I've been awake since 6 and watching the clock. Praying. Watching. Praying.Watching. Praying.
- You're so awesome. I love you.
- I knew you would blow it up.
- Yes, let me know your time and place and the level of your awesomeness. I'll continue to mix the kids clothes up in the laundry room.
(After I sent him my time, etc.)
- Holy crap! Erin, that is incredible!
- I can feel your awesomeness coming through the phone.
- My blackberry is on fire. Too hot to handle.
- You are amazing. I love you too.
- i wish I was there to share this with you.
- Simply amazing.
- Cool down, roll, stretch, relax a little, soak it in.
- I can already tell... you are not going to take it easy at Top of Utah.
- Poor Alana.
- You won't be able to resist. (He knows me so so well!)
- But right now, really, really, enjoy this accomplishment. Really. Don't let it slip by too quickly. Enjoy this.
- This is the day you qualified for the Boston Marathon. September 3, 2011. :)
- I am super excited and I will celebrate here. I am a little emotional too. So proud of you.
Yeah, he really is the greatest. Love you Big Daddy!

EPA staff recently developed a model waste management plan framework for oil spills of national significance (SONS). Experience with major oil discharges has shown that many of the waste mgmt planning elements are similar and can be planned for ahead of time, which can then be tailored to the site-specific spill conditions at the time of a SONS. SONS Waste Mgmt Plan (PDF) (26 pp, 790KB)
EPA staff presented at the 2012 Wide Area Recovery and Resiliency Program (WARRP) Waste Management Workshop in Colorado to help state and local officials develop waste management plans for homeland security incidents. WARRP Summary Report and Presentations (PDF) (145 pp, 6.17 MB)
EPA's Homeland Security efforts include the management of wastes from Homeland Security incidents. These are incidents requiring a national response, such as acts of terrorism perpetrated with radiological dispersal devices or chemical or biological warfare agents; large-scale natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina; and animal disease outbreaks. This site provides waste management information that can be used by emergency planners, managers, and responders in planning before a homeland security incident occurs, and in decision-making during and after an incident.
- Basic Information
- Pre-Incident Planning and Preparation
- Considerations for Waste Management Decisions
- Waste Management Options
- Tools and Resources
- Frequent Questions
Incident Command System (ICS) As most incidents will generate waste, the Operations and Planning Sections of the ICS likely will have waste management-related responsibilities. Therefore, the ICS organizational structure may include, for example, a disposal group in the Operations Section or a disposal unit in the Planning Section. The information on the Web site, including considerations for waste management decisions, waste management options, and tools and resources, may help the ICS make waste management-related decisions during and after an incident occurs.

Having a hip replaced is rarely an urgent, life-saving procedure. Fairfielder Joan Ireland's orthopedic surgeon, Murray Morrison, MD, explained that to her. "He told me, 'Hip replacement is elective. When you no longer can bear the discomfort in your joint, and the pain is interfering with your lifestyle, then it's time to do something,'" she says.
For Joan, that time came when she realized that her arthritic right hip was so painful she couldn't put her weight on it, and she couldn't play golf, go biking, or even walk on the beach—her favorite activity at her winter home in Florida.
For her, hip replacement was a lifestyle-saving procedure.
Dr. Morrison sent Joan for hip x-rays, which showed that her degenerative arthritis had progressed. It was indeed time for hip reconstruction.
The next step, to make sure Joan's body could tolerate major surgery, was a physical exam by her primary care physician, which Joan passed with no problem.
After that, everything moved ahead quickly. As a part of the Joint Reconstruction Center's regular procedure, case manager and certified orthopedic nurse Karen Essig, RN, got in touch with Joan before the surgery to ask about her medical history, tell her what the surgery would involve, and determine what kind of care Joan would need in the weeks after the surgery. Hip replacement patients need to think ahead of time about making the home safe during their recovery (for instance, eliminating the need to use stairs, rolling up scatter rugs for the duration, making sure there's a grab bar in the tub or shower, making sure they can pass through doorways while using a walker.) Visiting nurses are available from United Visiting Nurse Association to do pre-surgery home safety inspections.
Much of this pre-surgery education was accomplished by telephone, because Joan was still in Florida. In fact, Joan could have chosen to have her surgery in Florida, but she preferred to come back to Bridgeport. She and her husband, Dr. Elwood Ireland, have such confidence in Dr. Morrison and Bridgeport Hospital that she knew exactly who she wanted to do her procedure, and where.
On June 7, 2000, Joan was wheeled into the operating room at Bridgeport Hospital.
Replacement hip joints consist of two parts, a ball and a socket, just like nature's version of the hip. The replacement parts come in several sizes, and it's important to make sure the replacement fits the patient. To do this, Dr. Morrison held a template up to Joan's hip x-ray, which showed him the proper size of socket for her hip joint.
After choosing the proper replacement, Dr. Morrison cleaned the worn cartilage out of Joan's socket, or acetabulum (Latin, meaning "vinegar bowl"!), using a device that shaped the socket to fit that replacement. The new socket, made of smooth plastic on the inside of the curve, was porous metal on the outside, a bit like a Brillo pad. Over time, Joan's natural bone would grow into the pores in the metal, holding the socket securely in place without any form of adhesive.
Next Dr. Morrison cleaned out the canal in the center of the femur—the thigh bone—to accept the replacement ball joint. He cemented it in place with special adhesive, measuring to make sure that the length of Joan's right leg matched her left leg.
And when Joan woke up in her hospital room, she had a new, pain-free joint.
"I know hip replacement is a major procedure," Joan says, "but it wasn't as major as I thought it might be . I went into the operating room in the morning, and woke up in my hospital room before lunchtime. I had a device by my bed that gave me some control over the dosage of my intravenous pain-relief medicine (a patient-controlled analgesia pump). But I never used it—I never needed the extra painkiller," Joan says.
Joan spent three days in the hospital, where therapists from Ahlbin Rehabilitation Centers got her up and walking, and started her on the therapy routine that would help her get her strength back. "You really have to rebuild all those muscles," Joan says, admitting that the therapy was the hardest part of the whole procedure for her.
Rehab continues after patients go home, of course. Depending on the patient, rehab might be provided in an Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit such as the one at Bridgeport Hospital, in a skilled nursing facility, or in the patient's home, with therapy and home health care services such as United Visiting Nurse Association can provide. For Joan, short-term rehabilitation in a skilled nursing facility was appropriate. Her next step was physical therapy in her home. Outpatient rehabilitation, which can be provided at any of Ahlbin Rehabilitation Center's convenient satellite locations, was the final step. Within ten days Joan was at home, getting her therapy as an outpatient. Within six weeks Joan was chipping balls on the golf course, and soon afterwards she could go about her normal routine, including driving, walking the beach, and biking with her husband.
The Irelands have always been cyclists. Once, just after Dr. Ireland graduated from Harvard Medical School, the couple biked all the way from Boston to Niagara Falls, NY, to attend a friend's wedding. "It took us two weeks, and of course we were the hit of the wedding!" Joan recalls.
To this day, the Irelands still enjoy bike rides around Connecticut, and doing all the things they weren't able to do together before Joan's hip replacement procedure saved her lifestyle.
If you have hip or knee pain, call 888-357-2396 and ask for referral to a physician at The Joint Reconstruction Center.
To reach United Visiting Nurse Association, call 203-330-9198. For Ahlbin Rehabilitation Centers, call 203-366-7551. For information about The Joint Reconstruction Center at Bridgeport Hospital, call 203-384-4441.

As far as cognitive scientists are concerned, the children's game "I spy with my little eye" is anything but child's play. It is based on the assumption that the person whose turn it is can imagine what the other players are able to see – or not. But do dogs and apes, for instance, also share this ability? At the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, scientists study social cognition factors in different species.
Text: Birgit Fenzel
Theory of mind is the scientific term for the art of mind reading. This ability enables people to apprehend others as individuals with their own perceptions, feelings and thoughts and, based on this, to imagine what is going on with them. For researchers, the theory of mind is one of the cornerstones of learning and teaching, and therefore also of the emergence of culture – one need only think here of the role imitation and demonstration play in the passing on of knowledge in the context of language acquisition.
It was long assumed that the theory of mind was a uniquely human ability that developed over the course of evolution. However, scientists working with Michael Tomasello in the Department of Developmental and Comparative Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig observed that chimpanzees also display some of the key features of this ability to perceive the perspectives and intentions of others. In order to find out what apes know about the perceptions of their group members, psychologist Josep Call exploited the extreme food possessiveness displayed by ape house inhabitants in the Wolfgang Köhler Primate Research Center by concealing pieces of fruit in the enclosure. The lower orders actually dared to take the extra portion only when they had observed that the alpha male had either not noticed the food being hidden or did not have the food in his field of vision.

Fiscal Cliff Notes: Part II
One of the big advantages that President Obama has, as he plays "chicken" with the Congressional Republicans along the "fiscal cliff," is that Obama is a master of the plausible lie, which will never be exposed by the mainstream media– nor, apparently, by the Republicans.
A key lie that has been repeated over and over, largely unanswered, is that President Bush's "tax cuts for the rich" cost the government so much lost tax revenue that this added to the budget deficit– so that the government cannot afford to allow the cost of letting the Bush tax rates continue for "the rich."
It sounds very plausible, and constant repetition without a challenge may well be enough to convince the voting public that, if the Republican-controlled House of Representatives does not go along with Barack Obama's demands for more spending and higher tax rates on the top 2 percent, it just shows that they care more for "the rich" than for the other 98 percent.
What is remarkable is how easy it is to show how completely false Obama's argument is. That also makes it completely inexplicable why the Republicans have not done so.
The official statistics which show plainly how wrong Barack Obama is can be found in his own "Economic Report of the President" for 2012, on page 411. You can look it up.
You may be able to find a copy of the "Economic Report of the President" for 2012 at your local public library. Or you can buy a hard copy from the Government Printing Office or download an electronic version from the Internet.
For those who find that "a picture is worth a thousand words," they need only see the graphs published in the November 30th issue of Investor's Business Daily.
What both the statistical tables in the "Economic Report of the President" and the graphs in Investor's Business Daily show is that (1) tax revenues went up– not down– after tax rates were cut during the Bush administration, and (2) the budget deficit declined, year after year, after the cut in tax rates that have been blamed by Obama for increasing the deficit.
Indeed, the New York Times reported in 2006: "An unexpectedly steep rise in tax revenues from corporations and the wealthy is driving down the projected budget deficit this year."
While the New York Times may not have expected this, there is nothing unprecedented about lower tax rates leading to higher tax revenues, despite automatic assumptions by many in the media and elsewhere that tax rates and tax revenues automatically move in the same direction. They do not.
The Congressional Budget Office has been embarrassed repeatedly by making projections based on the assumption that tax revenues and tax rates move in the same direction.
This has happened as recently as the George W. Bush administration and as far back as the Reagan administration. Moreover, tax revenues went up when tax rates went down, as far back as the Coolidge administration, before there was a Congressional Budget Office to make false predictions.
The bottom line is that Barack Obama's blaming increased budget deficits on the Bush tax cuts is demonstrably false. What caused the decreasing budget deficits after the Bush tax cuts to suddenly reverse and start increasing was the mortgage crisis. The deficit increased in 2008, followed by a huge increase in 2009.
So it is sheer hogwash that "tax cuts for the rich" caused the government to lose tax revenues. The government gained tax revenues, not lost them. Moreover, "the rich" paid a larger amount of taxes, and a larger share of all taxes, after the tax rates were cut.
That is because people change their economic behavior when tax rates are changed, contrary to what the Congressional Budget Office and others seem to assume, and this can stimulate the economy more than a government "stimulus" has done under either Bush or Obama.
Yet there is no need to assume that Barack Obama is mistaken about the way to get the economy out of the doldrums. His top priority has always been increasing the size and scope of government. If that means sacrificing the economy or the truth, that is no deterrent to Obama. That is why he is willing to play chicken with Republicans along the fiscal cliff.
