The Internet Intellectual
October 12, 2011
Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age Improves the Way We Work and Live By Jeff Jarvis (Simon & Schuster, 263 pp., $26.99) In 1975, Malcolm Bradbury published The History Man, a piercing satire of the narcissistic pseudo-intellectualism of modern academia. The novel recounts a year in the life of the young radical sociologist Howard Kirk—"a theoretician of sociability"—who is working on a book called The Defeat of Privacy.
Early Enlightenment
October 12, 2011
The Abacus and the Cross: The Story of the Pope Who Brought the Light of Science to the Dark Ages By Nancy Marie Brown (Basic Books, 310 pp., $27.95) A study of twenty member states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (recently re-named the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC—the international body that represents Ummah al Islam, with a permanent delegation to the United Nations) found that between the years 1996 and 2003 those countries spent 0.34 percent of their GDP on scientific research, one-seventh of the global average.
The Ghost of Romneycare Returns
October 11, 2011
Just in time for Tuesday night's Republican presidential debate, NBC News is out with a story reminding everybody of just how closely the architects of Obamacare modeled their efforts on Romneycare. The story, by Michael Isikoff, cites White House records showing that three key analysts who worked on the Massachusetts reforms met with administration officials at least a dozen times.
Why Liberians Are so Unimpressed by Their President's Nobel Prize
October 11, 2011
Monrovia, Liberia—The sirens usually sound on Monrovia's Tubman Boulevard in the early evening. In the Sinkor district of the Liberian capital SUVs belonging to NGOs, motorbikes, and local jalopies pull over to either side of the road to make way for the absurdly over-sized motorcade that follows. There are men with guns in pickups, cars and four-wheel drive vehicles, perhaps an ambulance, and U.N. personnel in bulky Nissan Patrols.
Raise Their Taxes! (And Ours!)
October 11, 2011
From this week's TNR editorial: Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard law professor now running for U.S. Senate, is getting a lot of attention for the video of a speech she made recently. It wasn't just because she was taking on Republican talking points more forcefully than most Democrats do these days.
Sliming Elizabeth Warren
October 07, 2011
Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown is taking a lot of flack for something he said about his top Democratic challenger, Elizabeth Warren. A few days ago, during a primary debate, Warren had joked that "I kept my clothes on" when finding ways to pay for college. It was a reference to Brown's decision to pose nude, in a spread for Cosmopolitan magazine, while he was a student at Boston College. On Thursday, a radio host asked Brown if he had a response.
Nader and the Corvair
October 04, 2011
A number of readers have expressed surprise at my statement (which I attributed to the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then a Harvard professor and subsequently a senator from New York) that Ralph Nader was wrong about the Corvair. I thought the story was well known, but apparently it isn't. In his 1965 book Unsafe at Any Speed, Nader made the Corvair a case study in corporate irresponsibility. I don't know the details but the car had some sort of rollover problem. Many of the same criticisms of the Corvair were made around the same time by the journalist James Ridgeway in this magazine.
GOP To Harvard: Dump Warren
October 03, 2011
A new poll of 1,005 registered Massachusetts voters conducted Sept. 22-28 shows Elizabeth Warren in a statistical dead heat with Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, 38-41. That's pretty remarkable considering the fact that 37 percent of those polled still don't know who she is. The Boston Herald poll follows a Public Policy Polling survey released Sept. 20 that also showed her in a statistical dead heat, in that instance with a slight edge, 46-44. Just a few weeks earlier Brown was leading Warren by nine points. How is the Massachusetts GOP responding to this emergency?
Don't Mess With Taxes

Why Moneyball Is Still a Poor Ball Club's Best Friend
September 23, 2011
Moneyball, which arrives in theaters Friday, is a tale that is more The Social Network than Major League. Its inspiration, Michael Lewis's 2003 volume about the success of the underfunded Oakland Athletics and their iconoclast general manager Billy Beane, is, for its part, a business book disguised as a baseball book.

Last weekend my in-laws came out to Boulder to visit and I used them as guinea pigs for this new gluten free Herb Gravy. Thankfully this gravy passed the in-law test served over Mashed Cauliflower. My husband and children liked it too!
When I made this gravy, I roasted a chicken with onions and thyme and used the pan drippings for the recipe below. I probably only had a couple of tablespoons of drippings, and I actually think this gravy recipe might work without any drippings at all. The onions thicken the gravy; I learned this trick from the late, great author Elaine Gottschall (also a dear friend), who wrote a fabulous gravy recipe in her book Breaking the Vicious Cycle, which I highly recommend.
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- pan drippings (from roasted chicken or roasted turkey)
- ½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
- In a medium saucepan, heat chicken stock, onions and garlic to a boil
- Reduce heat and simmer until onions and garlic are soft, about 30 minutes
- Pour pan drippings into saucepan
- Blend stock-onion-drippings mixture in a vitamix until smooth
- Place mixture back in saucepan and reheat, then season with salt and thyme
- Serve over turkey, Mashed Cauliflower, or anything else
Here are some other gluten-free gravy recipes you might enjoy:
–Nutritional Yeast Gravy by SeaMaiden from Book of Yum
–Gluten-Free Gravy by Shauna from Gluten-Free Girl
–Gluten-Free Mushroom Gravy Video from The Chef
I was beyond thrilled to find my book at the top of Jane Anderson's list of Christmas and Hanukkah Gift Ideas for Celiacs on About.com. She listed The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook as her personal favorite gluten-free cookbook. Wow. Thanks Jane!

Franklin High School's volleyball team saw its three-game win streak come to an end last Thursday when they hosted the Brevard Blue Devils at the Panther Den. After beating the likes of Hayesville twice and Swain County, the Lady Panthers couldn't maintain their momentum against the 4-1 Brevard team. They took the first set, but was unable to hold on, eventually losing the game, 3-1.
The Lady Panthers hit the road on Tuesday to avenge the loss against the Pisgah Sugar Bears. Their next home game will take place tonight when they host the Smoky Mountain Mustangs.

Lab research dogs see the sun & grass for first time.
Gary Smith & Friends rescue laboratory beagles. Heartwarming video.
Just ran across this on a big blog, Daily What.
Gary himself blogged about this months ago, but it's worth watching again and it seems many of the dogs still need loving homes. Luckily, this video seems to be going viral.
Our second rescue from beagles who have lived their entire lives inside a research laboratory. These beagles have known nothing except the confines of metal cages. They have known no soft human touch, no warm bed, no companionship, no love. They have never been outside or sniffed a tree or grass. Finally, after years of being poked and prodded, these beagles are FREE! ARME got the call that a facility was willing to release them to us after they had been used in several tests. We picked them up on June 8th and now they are all in loving foster homes, and one has already been adopted. If you are interested in adopting any of these special beagles, please email us at: email@example.com. If you cannot adopt, but would like to help, ARME is a non-profit organization and we rely on your donations to continue this work. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation. You can donate here: http://www.beaglefreedomproject.org/donate.php
PLEASE DO NOT BUY PRODUCTS TESTED ON ANIMALS! You can see their faces now….. buy only products that have the cruelty-free symbol.
Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Lab-raised beagles that have never seen the light of day are rescued and brought outside for the first time, thanks to the efforts of Animal Rescue, Media & Education (ARME) and their Beagle Freedom Project.
Happily, all the rescued beagles have since been placed in loving foster homes.
Information on adopting one (or all!) can be found on ARME's Beagle Freedom Project website.

Heartbreaking, but at least these are a few of the lucky ones.
This video made me decide to adopt a beagle puppy.
[…] Bonus. Inspiring: Lab research dogs see the sun & grass for first time. […]
I adopted one of these beagle mixes two yrs ago. Her name is Clover and she is a very sweet lovable dog. We could not ask for a better companion in our senior yrs. She gained 14 lbs her first yr with us, learned to play outdoors, go on walks every day and just be a joy in our home. She overcame so many obstacles and it was heartbreaking to watch as we know she endured much hardship her first two yrs confined in a laboratory cage. You would not know she was the same dog today. Everyone who meets her and hears her story falls immediately in love with her.
Thank God for people like Gary Smith!
Such an amazing story! Definitely opened my eyes to the world of animal testing… Am sharing this for the encouragement for people to consider rescuing dogs when they'd like to add a furry addition to their family. So many perfectly normal and healthy dogs without homes out there.

Shostakovich's 15 string quartets have taken their rightful place as a major part of 20th century chamber music repertoire. Often said to illustrate his very personal responses to the political difficulties of his time, more importantly they reflect the different stages of Shostakovich's development as a Soviet composer who would achieve world-wide renown.
Prokofiev wrote about his first string quartet: "Before starting work on the String Quartet No 1 in B minor, Opus 50, I studied Beethoven's quartets. Perhaps this explains the somewhat 'classical' idiom of the first movement of my quartet." After its premiere in Moscow 1931 the composer Nikolay Miaskovsky praised the work for its "true profundity in the sweeping melodic line and intensity of the finale".
Polish composer Krzysztof Meyer was fascinated by chamber music from his childhood. "When I was a little boy," he recalled, "I had a chance to listen to chamber music concerts that were regularly organised at my home.

"Diagnosis: Mercury brings together the strongest evidence to date that the FDA's guidelines for fish consumption are insufficient," said Chuck Savitt, president of Island Press, which published the book. "We simply don't know how widespread low-level mercury toxicity is in the United States, and this book tells us that regular consumers of certain types of fish are in danger."
Hightower's research spans from individual patients in her practice to widespread mercury poisonings in Japan, Canada, and Iraq. Diagnosis: Mercury makes a powerful case for increased study and stronger FDA regulation of this poison in our food supply.

The highly anticipated new novel in the New York Times bestselling The Search for WondLa series.
Before the end of The Search for WondLa, Eva Nine had never seen another human, but after a human boy named Hailey rescues her along with her companions, she couldn't be happier. Eva thinks she has everything she's ever dreamed of, especially when Hailey brings her and her friends to the colony of New Attica, where humans of all shapes and sizes live in apparent peace and harmony.
But all is not idyllic in New Attica, and Eva Nine soon realizes that something sinister is going on—and if she doesn't stop it, it could mean the end of everything and everyone on planet Orbona.
Introducing a host of remarkable characters that reinforce the importance of friendship, A Hero for WondLa has all the hallmarks of a classic book—of the future.

The Minnesota Vikings, 3-13 a year ago, are no joke this season. Leading the NFC North, their improvement is staked on a lot, not the least of which is the rapid development of quarterback Christian Ponder.
Now in his second NFL season, Ponder is an effective force to be reckoned with and so are the Vikings. And as the Washington Redskins get ready to host Minnesota on Sunday, they see the drastic changes and also realize what it could be in 2013 for Robert Griffin III.
"We've talked about this from the beginning. Each game is a learning experience for him," coach Mike Shanahan said. "If it's running, scrambling, dropping back, play action, you always want to put a quarterback in live situations as many times as you can. When you do that, the game usually slows down for him.
"Initially, everything is sped up, everything is going a hundred miles an hour. I think Ponder would tell you that this year he is a lot more comfortable than he was a year ago."
As a rookie, Ponder threw for 13 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and 1,853 yards and finished with a 75.1 quarterback rating. Incidentally he was also sacked 30 times.
"We went through it a year ago with Christian, just trying to find things that he's comfortable with that we also thought could help us to be successful," Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said. "We also knew that there would be some growing pains and that it was going to take a little time and a little patience on our part. We felt like as he saw more things and went through some of the ups and downs of being a rookie quarterback, we'd be better for it, and we are.
"It can be difficult: the speed of the game, the concepts that you're teaching, just so many factors that go into the development of that quarterback. Patience is critical."
Patience rewarded.
This season, through five games, the 2011 first-round pick out of Florida State already has 1,082 yards to go along with six touchdowns and two interceptions. Yes, Minnesota is better for it.
"Rookie year, you could tell he was just learning on the go," Redskins defensive end Stephen Bowen said. "Now he's a lot more comfortable, he's recognizing his reads faster. He looks a lot more seasoned."
Seasoned thanks to 11 games as a rookie and a full offseason. Middle linebacker London Fletcher commented that Ponder "looks more comfortable" in the Vikings offense now.
"He's a really good athlete. I like watching him on film. He's a really good athlete, he's got a good arm, really mobile. He'll take off and run," Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett said. "Last year you could tell he was a young guy that was kind of learning his way. You can tell he's smooth right now. He feels good about the offense, and they got the three-headed monster at running back. They can put them all back there so that kind of relieves him a little bit."
The Vikings' ascent to first place is not entirely thanks to Ponder. Frazier pointed out that his running game, led by Adrian Peterson and supplemented by Toby Gerhart, has opened things up. Left tackle Matt Kalil, taken third overall, right behind Griffin, has helped as well.
And it doesn't hurt to have someone like Percy Harvin to use to keep defenses off-balanced. But Ponder runs the show.
"From what I've seen this year, he's doing a good job of getting the ball to his playmakers, be it Percy or Adrian," Redskins safety Madieu Williams said. "He's doing a good job of just knowing where his outlets and guys are in the system."

New SF Art Show: In A Material World – Mixed Media Art
In A Material World
Mixed Media Art Works by Denise Laws
September 1 – November 1, 2015
Artist Reception: Sat. Sept. 5, 7:30-10:30pm
Glama-Rama Salon & Gallery is proud to welcome San Francisco artist, Denise Laws and her show, "In A Material World" featuring pieces from her Mylar Reveries and Hair Color Theory Series.

Join us for the artist reception on Sat. Sept. 5th. Drinks and light snacks provided. This is a free event.
Artist Statement: My artistic practice is rooted in collage, abstraction, assemblage and the transformation of unconventional materials. I refashion what has been discarded, thereby revealing its beauty, as a means of commenting on the disposability of our culture: what we consume, wear, and acquire will ultimately be abandoned. Through the investigation of mundane, commonplace materials, and by allowing their properties to drive the outcome, I seek to expand the possibilities of what is accepted as art.

Sat. Feb. 21, 7-10pm
We're so excited to welcome back to our walls, painter Adam Ansell and his show, Oomph. The daring paintings of Adam J. Ansell take the viewer into a bizarre and bold-colored world that may be identifiable, yet not the same for each person. Adam's edgy high fashion paintings are filled with contradictions: rugged and delicate, improvisational and meditational, spontaneous and labored, stark and festive. This show will mark Adam's long-awaited return to Glama-Rama and his first show at our Valencia St. location.
Please join us at the opening reception on Saturday, Feb. 21st, from 7-10pm. Beverages and snacks provided.

SF ART SHOW: "It's Only Rock & Roll, But I Like It" – Art by danyol
"It's Only Rock & Roll, But I Like It"
Art by danyol
Jan 6 – Feb 15, 2015
Fri. Jan. 9, 7-10pm
Join us as we welcome back to our walls, painter/collage artist, danyol and his new show, "It's Only Rock & Roll, But I Like It". Memories of danyol's childhood inform his latest show where much time was spent playing dress-up with stuffed animals in his mother's closet while listening to his sister's record collection.
San Francisco artist Danyol was born in 1970 in Orange County, California just a stone's throw away from Disneyland. Growing up near the iconic theme park, he nourished himself on a steady diet of pop art, cubism, and a dose of sarcasm. His mission is to bring part of his everyday life into his art to show that there is beauty in the mundane, harmony in the abstract, and power in the inspiration.
New SF Art Show: HARD WORKING: Bitter Waitresses, Hair-Brained Hairdressers & Whirling Dervishes
Bitter Waitresses, Hair-Brained
Hairdressers & Whirling Dervishes"
Art by Eden Hutchinson
Nov. 11, 2014 – Jan. 4, 2015
Opening Reception Fri. Nov. 14, 7-10pm
We're very excited to welcome to our walls, EDEN HUTCHINSON and his new show, "HARD WORKING: Bitter Waitresses, Hair-Brained Hairdressers & Whirling Dervishes". His work centers on gender roles and classicism infused with a sense of humor done in brush and ink with watercolor.
The opening reception on Fri. Nov. 14, from 7-10pm will feature light snacks, beverages and fab art! This is a FREE event.
Having drawn since the age of four, Hutchinson was strongly influenced by caricaturist, Al Hirschfield, grandfather of pop art, Richard Lindner, and designer and illustrator, Erte. After majoring in printmaking at the Maryland Institute College of Art, he moved to San Francisco to pursue a childhood dream of being a beautiful, Candy Darling-esque drag queen. After 12 years, he decided to try something new and relocated to Big Sur to work as a baker and escape the insanity and soullessness of modern tech culture. This environment has already been a boon to his creativity as the upcoming collection of work will show.

New Art Show SF: Collage + Landscape = Collagescape
Collage + Landscape = Collagescape
Tofu's landscapes and collages come together as paintings on paper are cut into small pieces and reassembled in a new series called Collagescapes.
July 29th – September 28th, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, August 1st 16th, 7 pm – 10 pm
The exhibit will have two components:
On the main level, there will be an exhibit of Tofu's new series of work called collagescapes. With collagescapes, Tofu starts by painting paper with areas of color representing the palette of a specific place. Next he cuts up the painting into hundreds of small pieces. The final steps are to randomize the pieces and then reassemble them in various geometric patterns. Collagescapes are both landscape paintings and collages. They may appear abstract, but the intent is to retain the color palette of the places they represent. A preview of the work can be seen at tofuart.com
Collage meets Landscape
On the upper level of Glama-Rama, Tofu is curating a companion show of mixed media works, where the theme will beCollage meets Landscapes. The exhibit will include the works of 12 different artists from the Bay Area, the U.S. and overseas. The works of four of the participating artists have never been show in the Bay Area before and two of the artists are even having their first showing in the U.S.
Earlier this year, Tofu issued a Call for Artists as well as inviting a few select artists to participate in the exhibit. The result is a diverse collection of work that incorporates everything from paint to found objects to postage stamps to human hair. In selecting which pieces to show, Tofu employed his collage skills to choose and place works of art that both complement each other yet stand out as individual pieces. It could be said the exhibit of collages is like a collage itself.
The artists exhibiting in Collage meets Landscape include:
New Art Show SF: Haunted Playground – Illustrations by David Hawkins
"Haunted Playground – Illustrations by David Hawkins
June 3, 2014 – July 27, 2014
Opening Reception Friday June 6th, 7-10pm
Beverages and snacks will be provided
This is a free event
Glama-Rama Salon and Gallery presents "Haunted Playground – Illustrations by David Hawkins". Known primarily as a stand-up comedian, this exhibit includes pen and ink as well as digital pieces and is the first public exhibition of his artwork.
The opening reception will feature music composed and performed by his musical alter-ego Mimiuex and will have live stand up performances by Mr. Hawkins and his very special guest Mary Van Note.
David is self taught and works in a variety of mediums. As the creative force behind Dingbat Design he has created posters and artwork for theatrical productions, rock bands and performers including Marga Gomez, Glen Meadmore, The Marsh, Thee Parkside, Truck and many more. He has lived in San Francisco since 1989 and currently resides in the Mission District.
The show in his own words:
"Haunted Playground" is the place where whimsy and melancholy meet. These two emotions have characterized my artwork from the beginning and seemed the perfect image for an overview of my artistic output up to this point.
As a comedian I have infused these works with a fair amount of humor but also within them there is sadness and often something sinister.
Examples of his work (commercial and non-commercial) can be seen at:

New SF Art Show: "Form and Color, Together Forever" Paintings by Cathy Liu
Paintings by Cathy Liu">"Form and Color, Together Forever"
Paintings by Cathy Liu
April 15, 2014 – June 1st, 2014
Opening Reception Fri. April 18th, 7-10pm
We are absolutely thrilled to announce the return of painter CATHY LIU and her show, "Form and Color, Together Forever", 13 years after her first show at the original salon/gallery location. The opening reception will feature a live performance by "Cathy Liu and the Thin White Dukes"! Beverages & snacks will be provided. This is a free event.
In my latest paintings I've been consciously broadening and deepening my commitment to form and color, while continuing to refine and define my lines. Whereas, my previous paintings were more about concentration, my current work moves deeper into the realm of meditation. The simplicity and clarity of my work has evolved with a complex examination of emotions and reflections over time.
I usually work on one painting at a time, but for this show I worked on 6 paintings simultaneously interchanging colors and shapes. This process opened up fresh lines of communication between paintings with endless possibilities of interaction.
My abstract organic paintings are a playful meditation on life––how we're interconnected with everyone and everything, yet uniquely shaped and part of a vibrant dynamic whole. This artwork was created from the joy in my heart for your viewing pleasure.
Cathy grew up in an area of San Jose where the cherry orchards were replaced by Eichler homes. She escaped suburbia to Florence, Italy where she graduated with a B.A. in Italian Studies. She then went to work for the muckraking magazine Mother Jones. After five years, she found painting amoebic shapes preferable to raking muck. She lives in San Francisco and on the Big Island of Hawaii where she continues to be inspired by the fragility and force of life in both places.

We're quite excited to announce the opening of "GLORP", the new show by pop artist, Elliott C. Nathan. With his love of bright colors and thick black lines, his most recent works explore the world through a Pop and Surrealist lens, translating elephants, squid, eyes, pyramids, explosions, San Francisco architecture, vintage TVs, robots, hearts, and ham into colorful mixed media paintings.
The opening reception will be held on Friday, March 7th, 7-10pm. Beverages & snacks will be provided. This is a free event.
Hailing from rural Connecticut, Nathan has been living and working in San Francisco for three years. In that short time he has had over 30 public showings, including four gallery shows and three art auctions. Nathan's creations come in many forms: street art, paintings, sculptures,books, graphics, murals, and his mini-skateboard company, SunkenMonkey.com.
His inspiration draws from the Pop and Surrealist works of Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, and street artists like Keith Haring and Banksy. As a 10 year oldchild, Nathan's parents let him choose the art that would hang in his room. He selected a wall-sized print of Picasso's Guernica to hang over his bed, from which he practiced drawing Picasso-esque faces.
His work has also been featured in a number of blogs and newspapers, including MissionMission, SF Gate, Mission Local, The Uptown Almanac, and The Examiner. As told by StreetArtSF.com in a recent interview, "Elliott C. Nathan creates playful pop culture style street art. Its fun, silly, upbeat, sometimes irreverent nature is like walking into the definition of cool."

Vaccine supplies are plentiful this year, but inoculation rates are low, officials say
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Too many Americans aren't getting vaccinated for the flu, including those most at risk -- seniors, children and health-care workers -- U.S. health officials warned Wednesday.
"Despite the fact that we have influenza vaccine, we are still failing to protect a large proportion of people," Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said during a morning teleconference. "Not just our seniors, but people of every age. And we are not even protecting our children. With vaccination, most influenza is preventable."
In recent years, the supply of vaccine has been spotty. But this year, the CDC is expecting a record 132 million doses to be available, which is 10 million more doses than last year.
Every year, an estimated 36,000 Americans die from the flu, and more than 200,000 are hospitalized.
Gerberding stressed that the flu vaccine is safe, and the myth that you can get the flu from the vaccine is just that -- a myth. "It is true that the vaccine is not perfect. In some years, it is more successful than in others in protecting people completely," she said.
It's particularly important that health-are workers get vaccinated, Gerberding said, not only so they and their families don't get sick, but so they don't pass the flu on to those they are caring for. "It's unconscionable that a health-care worker would not receive this vaccine," she said.
Kerry Weems, acting administrator for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said that for people on Medicare, the flu vaccine is free with no co-pay and no deductible. "Yet, in any state, 20 percent of people on Medicare aren't getting their flu shot," he said during the teleconference.
Substantial numbers of children and adults not getting vaccinated, either,

A small but growing number of wealthy patrons, enamored of the possibilities of undersea exploration, are donating the use of ships, submersibles and other resources to support missions that might otherwise be unaffordable.
Funding pure ocean exploration — going where no person has gone before — has always been hard for researchers. Federal agencies do support exploratory work, but they generally award grants to pursue answers to well-formed questions. This can create a Catch-22, in which scientists don't know which questions to ask until they get into unexplored areas.
Beginning in 2001, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had an Ocean Exploration program that provided grants for open-ended work, but the program's priorities have shifted toward more limited work aboard the agency's exploration vessel, Okeanos Explorer.
Most oceanographers rely on support from the National Science Foundation, but its budget, level at best for several years, has had to deal with rising fuel prices and other costs required to maintain its fleet of research vessels, leaving less available for grants.
The challenge of raising money for sea exploration "is the hardest it's ever been in my career," says Edith Widder, a deep-sea biologist and founder of the Ocean Research and Conservation Association in Fort Pierce, Fla.
Enter the elite benefactors. Hollywood director James Cameron is perhaps the most well known of this group. He donated the Deepsea Challenger, his deep-diving submersible, to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts in March and gave the institute $1 million to help keep the vehicle operational and to support efforts to transfer technologies developed for the sub to other uses.
Cameron also will support collaboration between Woods Hole scientists and engineers who worked with Cameron on filming his 1989 science fiction thriller "The Abyss" and the construction of his specialized sub.
"I wanted to be sure to fund this enough so that they would have the people and resources to absorb this stuff, describe it and publish it, to have it available" said Cameron, He is also an adviser for Woods Hole's new Center for Marine Robotics, which aims to speed development of advanced ocean technologies through partnerships with private companies in fields such as oil and gas exploration.
"I think that what we see going forward is that this is just the beginning," said Woods Hole oceanographer Tim Shank of partnerships with more-engaged donors such as Cameron. "There's no doubt discovering things is an absolute drug in some ways."
Last year in his sub, Cameron did the first solo dive to the deepest spot in the ocean, nearly 36,000 feet deep in the western Pacific. Only two people had visited before, in 1960, and only two robotic vehicles have been capable of diving there, one of which has been lost.
Oceanographers say the lack of exploration of this and other deep-sea trenches shows the huge potential for discovery, while the lack of vehicles capable of reaching such depths illustrates that in some ways it is more difficult to do so than it is to reach space.
Though deep trenches encompass just a small portion of the ocean floor, their unexplored area is as large as Australia. "How did we manage to get into the 21st century and just happen to miss a continent?" asked Cameron, "The answer is that it's the hardest place."
Among the technologies Cameron is transferring to Woods Hole is a patented method for manufacturing foam that is strong enough to withstand the massive pressure of the deep ocean and sturdy enough to act as a structural component of the sub.
Also included in the technology transfer are lightweight cameras built from scratch for the Challenger. The sub's camera equipment and lighting enabled Cameron to capture high-resolution, 3-D images of geologic scenes and deep-dwelling species in the pitch-black depths reached during his dives. Woods Hole scientists will be using Cameron's spare cameras, which are much better suited to the work than what researchers could normally afford, on an upcoming expedition.
Shank is leading an international team exploring the world's deepest ocean trenches through the Hadal Ecosystem Studies project. Cameron may participate in at least one of the project's expeditions, which could include dives by the Deepsea Challenger, although funded work will be done mainly with the Woods Hole remotely-operated vehicle Nereus.
Scientists know little about deep trenches, which are in the hadal region 20,000 feet and more beneath the surface. Questions persist about even their most basic characteristics, such as how far down fish are found and which other animals live there. Exploration has been so limited that much of what scientists do know is from Danish, Soviet and Swedish expeditions more than 50 years ago.
"It's rather embarrassing," Shank said. "We just have a catalogue of some species names and things in jars."

As many of you know, we are in the midst of a big transition as a family. Being Stateside and looking at what that means for us in regards to employment, ministry, and…well, everything else pertaining to our daily lives, has its overwhelming moments. We're surviving and looking forward to what the Lord might have next for our family.
First things first…Dave is headed back to PNG for 2 weeks at the end of this month. He'll be organizing and leaving most of our stuff there. Some of the more sentimental items will be brought back. Prayers for him are greatly appreciated as far as smooth travels, time with our coworkers and the Menya people, and encouragement during this closing season of our lives.
Thanks to many of you who have sent us a note of encouragement and prayers. As we continue to process and grieve, we so, so, so appreciate the love.
On a side note, I've come to the conclusion I'm probably a prophetess considering the fact I wrote THIS about 8 months ago.

The Umbria region
The Carmine estate is located in spectacular position in northern Umbria.
The valley itself is outstanding in natural beauty, the mountains of Monte Tezio rises high above it, forests and olive groves then follow down to the valley where there are beautiful streams, well managed farmlands and the wonderful vineyard.
The valley is dotted with ancient stone properties all carefully restored which add to the beauty of the area. It is abundant with local wild life including deer, wild boar and our favourite Hoopee bird.
It is very well located to use the amenities of the local area, it is only 1km of well maintained gravel road and then you reach the smallvillageofLa Bruna. The villages of Pierantonio is a 5 minute drive and the larger market town of Umbertide is a ten minute drive and so all the requirements of local shops, restaurants, banks etc are easy and quick to reach.
The main road of the E45 is only a 5 minute drive and this ensures that it is easy to reach after travelling to Italy and also allows you to visit the many attractions of the nearby area and also places a little further in neighbouring Tuscany, LeMarche and southern Umbria.
The University city of Perugia is only 20 minutes drive and this provides all the larger services such as rail and bus connections and the newly developed Perugia airport, as well as enjoying the famous festivals such as Umbria Jazz.
Only 2kms from the property is Antognolla Golf Estate, which boasts a challenging Robert Trent Jones Championship golf course and a wonderful restaurant.
Lake Trasimeno is a short half hour drive and there you can enjoy a large variety of watersports, take a ferry across to one of the Islands, visit many of the lovely towns that surround the lake and some of the wonderful restaurants, that serve fresh lake fish.
Visitors to the area and are able to enjoy the highlights of the area including Assisi and Gubbio and they can also feel part of the true Umbria. It is very much a thriving local area, where there is a vibrant market weekly in Umbertide, wild boar hunts take place in the valley weekly in the season and many local festas are held throughout the year where visitors to the area are very much welcomed.

Instrument Rating Courses for Helicopter Pilots
As a Professional Helicopter Pilot, you will need the Instrument Rating in order to navigate and control the helicopter in clouds or dense fog under IMC conditions. Additionally, instrument equipped rotorcraft are becoming more and more commonplace. Corporations are placing emphasis on this particular rating when choosing prospective candidates for employment. The hours accumulated can be counted towards the Commercial Rating.
Course Objectives: Teach IFR Procedures
The Instrument Rating courses are designed to teach a student how to competently operate and navigate the helicopter in less than VFR weather conditions, in accordance with IFR procedures. During this course, the student will develop all of the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully complete the Instrument Rating Practical Test administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This course is a prerequisite for enrollment into the Certified Instrument Instructor Rating Course.
Description of the Instrument Course
During instrument ground school, a student will gain the knowledge required to safely conduct an IFR flight, including an understanding of IFR charts, cross-country planning, aircraft flight instruments, navigational equipment, and IFR regulations. The flight component of the course will give students the skills necessary operate the helicopter safely within the IFR environment including the ability to perform instrument approaches, holds, and IFR navigation.
PART 61 : Course completion time is 3-10 weeks.
FAA Requirements:
- Hold a Private Pilot Rating in helicopter/rotorcraft;
- FAA Medical Certificate;
- Pass the FAA written knowledge test and practical exam;
- 40 Hours Dual Instrument Time; and
- 50 Hours Cross-Country Pilot-In-Command (PIC).
The Part 61 course includes:
- 20 Hours Dual IFR Flight Training;
- 30 Hours IFR PIC Cross-Country;
- 20 Hours Dual Simulated Instrument Training;
- 30 Hours Ground Instruction; and
- 30 Hours Pre/Post Flight.
PART 61 ADD-ON RATING : Course completion time is 2-10 weeks.
The Part 61 Add-On course is for the student who holds a Instrument Certificate but not in a Helicopter/Rotorcraft.
FAA Requirements:
- Hold a Private Pilot and an Instrument Rating in Helicopter/Rotorcraft;
- Hold an Instrument Rating (other than Helicopter/Rotorcraft);
- FAA Medical Certificate; Pass the FAA practical test; and
- Log 15 Hours Dual Instrument Time (Helicopter).

July Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced the iForce Startup Community, an
industry first marketplace designed to address dot-com customer requirements
through cross-market collaboration. The community interacts online through
the iForce Startup Community portal, where startups can find news, events,
interactive forums and vendor information, and where qualified startups
gain access to special offerings of industry-leading products, technologies
and services. These vendors' enthusiastic participation in the program
illustrates the dynamic growth and momentum behind the iForce Community
program announced in March 2000.
broad array of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Application Service
Providers (ASPs) and E-Integrators have joined forces through the community
to focus on providing startups the leveraged relationships, expertise,
and fast solution implementation vital to their success. By creating pre-negotiated
solutions and delivering them through an easy-to-access online marketplace,
the community ensures that startups adopt the right architectures, platforms,
products and services from the outset, allows them to make these critical
choices in Internet time, and frees them to focus on their core competencies.
Consisting of nearly fifty companies, the iForce Startup Community represents
the broadest cross-industry support for any startup-focused initiative
in existence today.
key component of the Sun iForce Community is the Sun Developer Connection[sm]
Startup Essentials offering, which consists of a bundle of hardware,
software, and services at discounted rates, all pre-configured and designed
specifically for startups.
iForce Startup Community serves as a dynamic forum for startups to make
connections and conduct business with community vendors. Any startup may
take advantage of the wealth of information and services Sun is making
available on the portal, such as news feeds, insightful editorials, a
startup events calendar, scheduled chats to facilitate community dialogues,
and showcasing of startups and their real-life implementations. Approved
members of the Sun Startup Essentials offering will gain access to pre-negotiated
discounted or free offerings from nearly fifty iForce Startup Community
vendors, including Sun and its strategic partners.
few days later, Gateway, Inc. announced its expansion of beyond-the-box
offerings for business with eBusiness Accelerator Leasing, a program designed
to meet the technology financing needs of high potential Internet-based
start-ups. Through the program, available today, Gateway will initially
lease computers and related equipment to help emerging businesses establish
their technology infrastructure.
Gateway eBusiness Accelerator Leasing program gives emerging companies
competitive options to build their important technology infrastructure
with a trusted technology partner, while developing a positive credit
rating. And unlike other dot-com leasing programs, Gateway's eBusiness
Accelerator Leasing does not have program restrictions or membership fees
- only credit requirements.
eBusiness Accelerator Leasing complements the relationships emerging dot-com
companies have with venture capital and lending firms. Gateway's leasing
program gives customers greater flexibility to expand their technology
infrastructure, while preserving other funding for business growth and
development. Gateway has teamed with eLease to administer billing, collection,
tax and other infrastructure support services under an ASP arrangement
that provides a flexible and quick time to market solution for customers.
Although this is not a sea change, it does mark a change from "traditional"
business models, where a lot of effort was put into winning big contracts
with major customers. The value of winning the big ones has not diminished
(that's what pays the bills, after all). What the manufacturers are doing
is placing bets: if the startup tanks, the manufacturer loses a little;
if the startup becomes the next Cisco/Microsoft/what-have-you, then the
odds of repeat business are greatly increased.
intrigued by the differing approaches to the problem: Gateway is providing
an alternative means of funding for the computer hardware/software and
services (their own products, of course); Sun is providing (among other
things) prepackaged solutions at relatively low prices.
providing turnkey solutions, Sun's "iForce" should help them extend their
leadership in Web infrastructure. Start-ups who build their infrastructure
around Sun/Solaris architecture are less likely to switch brands. (There's
only one Sun, there are plenty of Intel-architecture brands.)
of the competition present in the Intel-based market, Gateway needs to
take a slightly different path to brand loyalty. Although Gateway produces
quality desktop machines, Gateway servers (a key part of the infrastructure)
are barely on the market share "radar screen". If Gateway takes equity
positions in the companies they're funding, brand loyalty becomes less
an issue of product specs, and a little more a "management decision".
(We are not implying that Gateway will try to muscle companies to buy
their stuff; what we envision is the start-up's management saying "Why
should we change vendors and risk compromising our relationship with Gateway.)
companies have already implemented variations of what we see here: HP
and Dell have implemented small business service/alliance programs, and
Compaq appears to be ramping up similarly. As margins on hardware shrink,
we expect services of this nature to become a bigger part of vendors'
We feel either of these programs deserves serious consideration by startups.
Although neither program is without risk, they are relatively low-cost
ways of getting up and running.
you have already decided on an architecture (Intel vs. Sun), skip to the
end of this section.
The OS-agnostic users will have to decide how much/little hand-holding
they want, almost in the sense of a la carte vs. full dinner.
that need turnkey solutions, as opposed to in-house development, will
probably find Sun's offerings more to their liking. Of course, this means
committing to non-Intel architecture, something which may not be palatable
for all.
that already have a well-defined infrastructure strategy, and already
have their business applications in place (or ready to go), may prefer
the Gateway approach. This means an Intel-architecture infrastructure,
since Gateway currently has no real Unix message.
believe both programs can provide significant value to the customer, it
comes down to the customers deciding which architecture and what their
needs are.

Hi Elliot,
Hope your KMV restoration project is going well.
I've recently acquired a Master View and wondering about using rear swing. I can barely move the (round) "clamp lever's" that supposedly loosen the rear standard to allow swing, and when I do manage to nudge them loose towards the rear of the camera the standard remains firmly stuck in place. Does yours move at all?
Very helpful thread. Thanks.
