If the Lord had not been on our side when men attacked us ... they would have swallowed us alive. ... Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. —Psalm 124:2-3, 6
Do you know what it is like to have somebody physically attack you? The trauma is one that, humanly speaking, you don't overcome easily. Or perhaps you have been verbally attacked. You know the awful feeling when somebody points a finger of blame at you.
The Lord's people in this psalm were the objects of anger. It is very frightening to be near someone who is angry. Perhaps you live in constant fear of a co-worker's temper or the angry outbursts of a loved one. You know how it feels to live in a situation from which you wish you could be delivered.
The truth is, your real enemy is the devil. The devil's work is to cloud your mind. He can come as an angel of light; that means that he will work through someone who has the appearance of being very righteous, a person of integrity, a person who is believable. Or he may come as a roaring lion.
But we learn from verse 6 that God can step into the situation: "Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth."
Maybe you're saying, "I don't think God is on my side." Remember this: God is on the side of anybody who will openly identify with His Son, Jesus Christ. God has promised that everything that happens in the lives of believers will work together for their good.
You will know what it is like for the Lord to rescue you. Maybe you don't see God in it at the time, but that is the only real explanation. God mercifully stepped in.

This story was written by Rafat Ali.
Ben Silverman was on Charlie Rose show last night, and talked about, in big part, shows like SNL and 30 Rock, and NBCU's and TV networks' digital future. On digital, he has some polite words about YouTube, vis-a-vis Hulu, but ultimately disses it when asked about its advertising potential: "Because that same image is next to a cat peeing in a toilet...So I think if you`re an advertiser, and you look at the environment of NBC, you know you're in a protected environment. You know what happens within that night on NBC, and you know that environment is not only safeNBC, in fact, has a contract with the audience. You know, we're governed by the FCC, et cetera, et cetera, whereas there is none of that regulation online, and there is also user generated, can also be 12-year-old screaming in his dorm room."
Meanwhile, someone's ticked off big time on his relatively-harmless talk. He's biding his time for a graceful exit from NBCU sometime in the near future, and trying to build up his own legacy/position while at it, so why worry

I have a swim team website - http://www.teamunify.com/Home.jsp?_t...0&team=wzscsma
I would like to add a page where people can order sweatshirts, t-shirts and tank tops. I think I have found out how to make a page that has drop down menus and a submit button that will email a copy of it to me.
My question is that I would like to know how to make one option depend on another. For instance - if they choose shirt - the next drop down will show all of the color options for the shirt, but if they choose sweatshirt - it will only show the colors the sweatshirt is available in.
Sorry if this is a beginner questions, this is my first crack at HTML.

I have a situation when I have three computers A, B, C.
Computer A and B are on routable networks and can communicate with each other (different subnets). Computer C is not routable but is on the same subnet as B.
I want to monitor computer C from computer A using SNMP and cacti.
What I'm trying to write is an SNMP "Proxy" to sit on B which listens to a custom port and gets all requests made for SNMP from computer C.
Is this possible?
Thanks for any and all help.

How The 'Black Fingers Of Death' Can Help Defeat Climate Change
CREDIT: Tom Kenworthy
PROVO, UTAH — This small city on the Wasatch Front south of Salt Lake City seems an unlikely locale for what could turn out to be an important battle against climate change. But here, in a modest building housing the U.S. Forest Service's Shrub Sciences Laboratory, research ecologist Susan Meyer and her colleagues are working laboriously to defeat a tenacious alien plant, cheatgrass, once dubbed the "invader that won the West."
If they succeed and a broad effort is launched to restore millions of acres of degraded western land that have been profoundly altered by the invader, they may also be able to suck an enormous amount of carbon out of the atmosphere and store it below ground. There is "immense potential for increasing carbon sequestration through restoration of these degraded systems," Meyer concluded in a 2012 research paper.
It is a quiet, but epic, undertaking. And it features a couple of nature's own weapon systems, pathogens with vividly descriptive names: the Black Fingers of Death and Bleach Blonde Syndrome.
At the heart of this struggle is cheatgrass, an annual grass that arrived, likely hitchhiking among edible grains, in the U.S. from Europe and central Asia beginning in the 1800s. It has basically taken over vast landscapes in the West, particularly in the Great Basin, a cold desert region between the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountain ranges that includes parts of Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and California.
In the Great Basin, cheatgrass has invaded more than 25 million acres of rangelands managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management. Over vast areas of the West, cheatgrass has out-competed and dominated areas where native shrubs and grasses once ruled, setting up shop easily in places where livestock grazing — particularly the unregulated grazing that prevailed prior to the 1930s — and other disturbances have altered the natural order of things.

One of those disturbances is fire, something that has always occurred in the Great Basin, but which has greatly accelerated as cheatgrass has spread. Between 1990 and 2007, more than 16 million acres burned in the Great Basin, including 1.9 million acres in the disastrous year of 1999 that prompted calls for a broad ecosystem restoration effort in the region.
Cheatgrass and fire work together, in a kind of symbiotic disaster. Wildfires kill native perennials like sagebrush and pave the way for invasive plants like cheatgrass to thrive. Cheatgrass, which matures and dries out early in the growing season, in turn provides abundant fuels for fire. "As the exotic annual grasses become more abundant, the potential for fire increases, resulting in a positive feedback loop," said the BLM's Mike Pellant in testimony to Congress in 2007.
A study published in 2012 found that areas in the Great Basin dominated by cheatgrass were four times more likely to burn during the period from 2000 to 2009 than lands with native vegetation and that they fueled the largest fires, 39 of the 50 largest during that period.
As cheatgrass has steadily advanced, it has "changed the structure and function of ecosystems," according to Stan Kitchen, a research botanist at the Shrub Sciences Laboratory. Once the native sagebrush is removed, Kitchen said, the land is "quickly converted to a cheatgrass monoculture or near monoculture."
Cheatgrass is so tenacious in part because it is a prolific seed producer, sending out 15,000 or more seeds per square meter in some studies. That can produce densities of more than 10,000 plants per square meter. Those plants, germinating in the fall and maturing in the spring before natives do, hog the sparse moisture in the Great Basin, giving the invader another huge advantage. And the seed bank — surviving viable seeds left in the soil — lasts for two or three years, making chemical treatments less effective.
Among other things, cheatgrass' advantages over native plants has dire implications for wildlife, in particular the sage grouse, a chicken-like bird that is dependent on sagebrush. Sage grouse population has declined to less than half a million from as many as 16 million a century ago due to loss of habitat. The bird is now being considered for protection under the Endangered Species Act, a listing that could have profound economic consequences throughout the West, potentially restricting oil and gas development and ranching.
Cheatgrass dominance also has implications for the fight against climate change. Cheatgrass, notes Meyer, "is the worst" in terms of carbon sequestration. "It burns all the time and it doesn't have a very good root system," so far less carbon is stored in underground root systems than is true for native perennials like sagebrush.
In 2006, researchers found that the invasion of cheatgrass in the West had turned some areas from carbon sinks to a net source of carbon — in fact, the invasion has released up to nearly nine million tons of carbon into the atmosphere and will likely release as much as another 55 million tons in the next few decades.
In a 2012 paper published by the Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station, Meyer wrote that "cold desert shrublands are a particularly good choice for management for increased carbon sequestration." That potential, her paper explained, stems from sagebrush having deep root systems and a high ratio of roots to above ground foliage. "
And, she mused during a recent interview, if the U.S. ever establishes a carbon market, then restoration of the Great Basin could become economically attractive if enough carbon credits could be generated and sold.
But first, how to kill the cheatgrass?
Herbicides can kill cheatgrass, but they tend to be broad spectrum chemical controls and "if you try to seed in perennials after it kills them. It's expensive and environmentally dubious," Meyer said.
Enter the black fingers of death. It's a fungal seed pathogen (pyrenophora semeniperda) that gets its name because it looks like black fingers sticking out of cheatgrass seeds. The fungus kills the seeds before they germinate, when they are dormant. Meyer and her colleagues discovered the fungus when examining cheatgrass seed banks in their study plots in Utah's Skull Valley.
While promising, the black fingers of death isn't a silver bullet. It can be used in combination with herbicides, but it doesn't kill all the dormant seeds in an area. "I think the black fingers of death will never be more than a tool in the tool box," Meyer said. "It can't eliminate cheatgrass all by itself. All it can do is reduce the seed bank."
Enter the bleach blonde syndrome, caused by another fungal pathogen that appears to be a factor in natural die-offs of cheatgrass stands. Bleach blonde attacks the head of cheatgrass plants, turning it a bleach blonde color, stunting its growth, making it fall over and often preventing the production of viable seed. The fallen-over plants form a litter on the ground that when wet stimulates another fungus that kills germinating seeds.
Meyer believes that further study may show that using black fingers of death in combination with bleach blonde syndrome may be the ticket, allowing for attacks not just on dormant seeds, but germinating ones as well.
"Were trying to find out if we can make it happen, create die-offs," she said. "If you could just manipulate the environment and wake up the pathogens that are there and cause die-offs, you could seed [native perennials] into that."
Other promising research is being conducted by scientists with the federal Agricultural Research Service in Pullman, Washington. There, soil scientist Ann Kennedy has found that a strain of soil bacteria can stunt the growth of cheatgrass and cut seed production — enough to give natives a competitive shot.
Meyer believes that with continued research "we can develop the scientific knowledge and technology to restore the Great Basin." But, she adds, "it would be a major investment to do it on any scale."
And she has her doubts whether taxpayers would want to make the investment. "I'm not sure society is ready to invest in ugly," Meyer said. "When people drive from Salt Lake City to San Francisco they just endure the Great Basin. They think it's nothing. As climate change worsens, we'll probably be more worried about how to keep growing corn in the Midwest."

How do I CLEAR abs lights out,I have checked all wheels at abs sencors all are ok.
the system will clear itself when the fault is repaired. you still have an issue. you need a scan tool to retrieve the code and find the fault. most likely a wheel speed sensor. the proper way to test is check for ac voltage while spinning the wheel or verify it with a data flow with a scan tool.
the light is on and will stay on till the fault is corrected.

Double shooting at west Phoenix park kills one
PHOENIX — A shooting at Dust Devil Park in west Phoenix Thursday night claimed the life of one victim and left another hospitalized, Phoenix Police say.
A suspect fled the scene of the shooting on foot, northbound, but remains outstanding, though a perimeter of the area has been setup by police and a K-9 search is underway.
The park, located near 106th Avenue and Camelback Rd., contained witnesses at the time of shooting and some of whom trailed him away from the scene.
Information about those involved in the shooting is currently unknown.

The winter 2014 quarter at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is premiering a unique course, The Theory and Practice of Moneyball, taught by Caltech professor of political science and dean of undergraduate students Rod Kiewiet, and Fred Claire, former general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers and current sports consultant and educator.
Moneyball—the title of a 2003 book by Michael Lewis and a 2011 film starring Brad Pitt—has entered the contemporary lexicon as the informal name for sabermetrics, a term coined by baseball analyst Bill James in 1980, who defines it as "the search for objective knowledge about baseball." (James came up with the term sabermetrics as a reference to the Society for American Baseball Research [SABR].)
Of course, managers, coaches, and players have long attempted to bring objective knowledge to bear on their attempts to find more winning ways to play the game. But it was not until recent decades, with the development of new modes of collecting data about baseball (from the angle of a pitcher's arm to the exact spin on a ball) and ever more sophisticated statistical methods and computer technologies, that sabermetrics really took off and became the burgeoning business it is today. Most major ball clubs have a sabermetrician on staff, and baseball fans are increasingly fluent in the theories that sabermetrics have brought to the forefront. Is a batting average a helpful metric in predicting wins? Sabermetrics says no. Is there a strategic advantage associated with bunting or stealing bases? Common wisdom has said yes for generations, but sabermetrics typically says no, and both practices have become less common in the past decade of professional baseball.
To shed light on this last debate, Kiewiet and Claire invited a special guest to their moneyball class on January 21: Maury Wills, former Dodgers shortstop and the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1962, the year he stole 104 bases, breaking Ty Cobb's 1915 record for bases stolen in a single season. Wills, of course, has every reason to doubt the conventional sabermetric wisdom about the deficiencies of the "small ball" game of bunts and stolen bases. He was an expert at both during his years as a major-league player; at age 81, he continues to coach Dodgers players on the art of setting down the perfect bunt.
As Wills, Claire, and Kiewiet agreed, the statistical techniques employed in sabermetrics can be enlightening, but can also be misleading if they are not sophisticated enough. Bunting and stealing bases may not look like winning strategies in the aggregate, but when deployed properly within the game—by the right players at the right time—they can contribute to a team's success. This is, says Wills, because baseball is a "mental game": "You can be tall, short, skinny, fat, fast, slow, handsome . . . and not-so-handsome. Yet you can be a good baseball player. That's why the game is so great."
Freshman seminars were introduced at Caltech in 2011 to give first-year students more direct contact with faculty in a small class setting (12–15 students total) and the opportunity, says Kiewiet, "to have fun, and not just be grinding away." In addition to The Theory and Practice of Moneyball, this year has also offered freshman seminars on earthquakes, gravitational waves, and courses with evocative names like Albatrosses, Beetles, and Cetaceans—a reflection on scaling in nature—and The Origin of Ideas.
"I feel very strongly about the value of freshman seminars," says Kiewiet, "and as dean, I'm anxious to keep these going, so I thought I should put my money where my mouth is and do one myself." Moneyball was a natural choice for Kiewiet. A baseball fan from childhood, he studied sabermetrics in the late 1980s, when Bill James's work came to greater prominence. Kiewiet mentored Caltech undergraduate Ari Kaplan, BS '92, a baseball player, in a SURF fellowship on pitching statistics that eventually led Kaplan to a career as a sports consultant. Kaplan has now worked for over half the major-league baseball teams in America, in addition to his ongoing career in business software; he co-owns a sabermetrics company, AriBall, with Claire.
As for Kiewiet, he has kept up with baseball statistics, though his scholarly efforts are primarily directed toward research into public-school finance, voting in British elections, and other pursuits typical of a professor of political science. Kiewiet did serve as the sabermetrics specialist for the film Moneyball, though he claims this was "only because they couldn't get Kaplan, because he was busy working for the Cubs."
Kiewiet recently got approval from the faculty board to open freshman seminars to upperclass students. Freshmen have the opportunity to register first, but if there are remaining spaces in these classes after freshmen have signed up, more advanced students can take them too. As a result, Kiewiet and Claire's moneyball seminar has attracted five upperclass students along with four freshmen, almost all of whom are student athletes. "Moneyball is a good laboratory for looking at economic theories," says Kiewiet. "It's got all the issues of strategy and information and of maximizing efficiency with budget constraints. But frankly, I just really like baseball."
Caltech has long had a reputation for wide-ranging exploration, and now its Division of Humanities and Social Sciences is celebrating this theme in a lecture series titled Exploration: The Globe and Beyond. The series is intended to bring together a diverse community to discuss the broad theme of exploration, from antiquity to the present day, from new lands on Earth to other planets in our solar system.
"Exploration," says Professor of History Nicolas Wey-Gomez, "is an indeterminate process. It is about abandoning oneself to a search that may or may not lead somewhere other than where one began. However uncertain it may be at times, it is the prerequisite for any real discovery."
The first lecture in the series—"Junípero Serra and the Spanish 'Craze'"—was given on January 6 by historian Richard L. Kagan of Johns Hopkins University. Kagan described how Serra came to stand in as the "founding father of California, the Columbus of the West." The wave that Serra rode to this new status—well after his death—was part of what Kagan described as a "craze" for all things Spanish that arose, ironically, in the midst of the Spanish-American War in 1898. It was not only Californians who flirted with the tropes of brave conquistadors and pious bringers of civilization to indigenous peoples. Spanish culture flourished in popular songs, stage shows, architecture, and numerous public exhibitions across a young nation that was flexing its own muscles as a new world power.
Chet Van Duzer of the Library of Congress will be the next lecturer in the series, with a talk titled "Watching a Renaissance Cartographer at Work: The Construction of Waldseemüller's Carta Marina of 1516" on March 24. In 1516, mapping was accomplished by marshaling data from texts and travelers' reports and converting it into two-dimensional representations of lands and seas; today satellites make this task much easier.
Future lecturers in the series will include Fletcher Jones Professor of Geology John Grotzinger, who will speak about the Mars Exploration Rover Mission, and Professor Deborah Coen of Barnard College, who will talk about her recent book The Earthquake Observers: Disaster Science from Lisbon to Richter. All lectures are open to the public.
Jean Ensminger is studying a corruption network linked to aid money, using interviews and quantitative analytical methods to follow the money disbursed by a large World Bank project in Africa. Ensminger, Caltech's Edie and Lew Wasserman Professor of Social Sciences, will explain the magnitude of the corruption problem and share some forensic economic techniques that could allow development donors to combat corruption by tracking potential fraud in real time. The talk will be at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 15, 2014, in Caltech's Beckman Auditorium. Admission is free.
Q: What do you do?
A: I'm an economic anthropologist. I have spent my career trying to understand how economic systems work from the grass roots up in developing countries. Right now I'm studying the role of corruption in that process. Most corruption studies look at grand scandals on the national level, but I also want to understand the impacts of corruption when it percolates down to ordinary people at the village level. Once corruption reaches this level, it has usually become the social norm and works like a vortex sucking more and more systems and individuals into its grip.
There is no methods book that teaches one how to conduct a study of this sort. But that has been part of the excitement, as I had to invent the process as I went along. Had I not built up a lot of trusted networks from 30 years of research in Kenya this would not have been possible. Trust is everything in a project of this sort. Another thing this process has taught me is that time is your friend. The data get better and better.
Q: How did you get into this line of work?
A: I have worked with the Orma people in a remote part of Kenya for about 30 years. In 2004 a small micro project came to the village in which I stay, and it was part of a large World Bank project. I did a research paper on the corruption in that micro project that caught the attention of the World Bank. Given the reaction to my work by those running the project, I suspected that "where there is smoke there is fire." As I broadened my inquiries, I rapidly deduced that the entire project was ripe for further investigation and important enough for me to redirect my primary research orientation.
Research like this is unusual even for an anthropologist. I was in the right place at the right time to do something that, to the best of my knowledge, has never been done quite like this before. I had a sabbatical coming up; I had research money available to me; and, because I had been working in Kenya so long, I had a network that gave me access to the top of civil society—people who are household names in Kenya helped me get started. I have never regretted this decision.
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: Although economists have written a great deal about the negative impact of corruption upon economic growth, the level of corruption in aid is not well measured, and I think it's important to know more. People may love foreign aid or hate foreign aid, but one thing most agree upon is that they would like to see it spent effectively, and certainly not to do harm. Corruption has a corrosive effect upon many individuals who are virtually compelled to participate because the system is pervasive. That is part of the human story.
In spite of all this, there is hope. What keeps me particularly fired up is that this project resonates with so many of the wonderful citizens of Kenya, including the scores of people who bravely provided evidence for this project. People have literally pounded the table to encourage me to keep going, to dig deeper, and to get the word out. It is a good feeling to have the passion I hold for my research shared with Kenyans.
Named for the late Caltech professor Earnest C. Watson, who founded the series in 1922, the Watson Lectures present Caltech and JPL researchers describing their work to the public. Many past Watson Lectures are available online at Caltech's iTunes U site.
How do we come to recognize expertise in another person and integrate new information with our prior assessments of that person's ability? The brain mechanisms underlying these sorts of evaluations—which are relevant to how we make decisions ranging from whom to hire, whom to marry, and whom to elect to Congress—are the subject of a new study by a team of neuroscientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
In the study, published in the journal Neuron, Antonio Rangel, Bing Professor of Neuroscience, Behavioral Biology, and Economics, and his associates used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to monitor the brain activity of volunteers as they moved through a particular task. Specifically, the subjects were asked to observe the shifting value of a hypothetical financial asset and make predictions about whether it would go up or down. Simultaneously, the subjects interacted with an "expert" who was also making predictions.
Half the time, subjects were shown a photo of a person on their computer screen and told that they were observing that person's predictions. The other half of the time, the subjects were told they were observing predictions from a computer algorithm, and instead of a face, an abstract logo appeared on their screen. However, in every case, the subjects were interacting with a computer algorithm—one programmed to make correct predictions 30, 40, 60, or 70 percent of the time.
Subjects' trust in the expertise of agents, whether "human" or not, was measured by the frequency with which the subjects made bets for the agents' predictions, as well as by the changes in those bets over time as the subjects observed more of the agents' predictions and their consequent accuracy.
This trust, the researchers found, turned out to be strongly linked to the accuracy of the subjects' own predictions of the ups and downs of the asset's value.
"We often speculate on what we would do in a similar situation when we are observing others—what would I do if I were in their shoes?" explains Erie D. Boorman, formerly a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech and now a Sir Henry Wellcome Research Fellow at the Centre for FMRI of the Brain at the University of Oxford, and lead author on the study. "A growing literature suggests that we do this automatically, perhaps even unconsciously."
Indeed, the researchers found that subjects increasingly sided with both "human" agents and computer algorithms when the agents' predictions matched their own. Yet this effect was stronger for "human" agents than for algorithms.
This asymmetry—between the value placed by the subjects on (presumably) human agents and on computer algorithms—was present both when the agents were right and when they were wrong, but it depended on whether or not the agents' predictions matched the subjects'. When the agents were correct, subjects were more inclined to trust the human than algorithm in the future when their predictions matched the subjects' predictions. When they were wrong, human experts were easily and often "forgiven" for their blunders when the subject made the same error. But this "benefit of the doubt" vote, as Boorman calls it, did not extend to computer algorithms. In fact, when computer algorithms made inaccurate predictions, the subjects appeared to dismiss the value of the algorithm's future predictions, regardless of whether or not the subject agreed with its predictions.
Since the sequence of predictions offered by "human" and algorithm agents was perfectly matched across different test subjects, this finding shows that the mere suggestion that we are observing a human or a computer leads to key differences in how and what we learn about them.
A major motivation for this study was to tease out the difference between two types of learning: what Rangel calls "reward learning" and "attribute learning." "Computationally," says Boorman, "these kinds of learning can be described in a very similar way: We have a prediction, and when we observe an outcome, we can update that prediction."
Reward learning, in which test subjects are given money or other valued goods in response to their own successful predictions, has been studied extensively. Social learning—specifically about the attributes of others (or so-called attribute learning)—is a newer topic of interest for neuroscientists. In reward learning, the subject learns how much reward they can obtain, whereas in attribute learning, the subject learns about some characteristic of other people.
This self/other distinction shows up in the subjects' brain activity, as measured by fMRI during the task. Reward learning, says Boorman, "has been closely correlated with the firing rate of neurons that release dopamine"—a neurotransmitter involved in reward-motivated behavior—and brain regions to which they project, such as the striatum and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Boorman and colleagues replicated previous studies in showing that this reward system made and updated predictions about subjects' own financial reward. Yet during attribute learning, another network in the brain—consisting of the medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate gyrus, and temporal parietal junction, which are thought to be a critical part of the mentalizing network that allows us to understand the state of mind of others—also made and updated predictions, but about the expertise of people and algorithms rather than their own profit.
The differences in fMRIs between assessments of human and nonhuman agents were subtler. "The same brain regions were involved in assessing both human and nonhuman agents," says Boorman, "but they were used differently."
"Specifically, two brain regions in the prefrontal cortex—the lateral orbitofrontal cortex and medial prefrontal cortex—were used to update subjects' beliefs about the expertise of both humans and algorithms," Boorman explains. "These regions show what we call a 'belief update signal.'" This update signal was stronger when subjects agreed with the "human" agents than with the algorithm agents and they were correct. It was also stronger when they disagreed with the computer algorithms than when they disagreed with the "human" agents and they were incorrect. This finding shows that these brain regions are active when assigning credit or blame to others.
"The kind of learning strategies people use to judge others based on their performance has important implications when it comes to electing leaders, assessing students, choosing role models, judging defendents, and so on," Boorman notes. Knowing how this process happens in the brain, says Rangel, "may help us understand to what extent individual differences in our ability to assess the competency of others can be traced back to the functioning of specific brain regions."
The study, "The Behavioral and Neural Mechanisms Underlying the Tracking of Expertise," was also coauthored by John P. O'Doherty, professor of psychology and director of the Caltech Brain Imaging Center, and Ralph Adolphs, Bren Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and professor of biology. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Betty and Gordon Moore Foundation, the Lipper Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust.
Difficulties in social interaction are considered to be one of the behavioral hallmarks of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Previous studies have shown these difficulties to be related to differences in how the brains of autistic individuals process sensory information about faces. Now, a group of researchers led by California Institute of Technology (Caltech) neuroscientist Ralph Adolphs has made the first recordings of the firings of single neurons in the brains of autistic individuals, and has found specific neurons in a region called the amygdala that show reduced processing of the eye region of faces. Furthermore, the study found that these same neurons responded more to mouths than did the neurons seen in the control-group individuals.
"We found that single brain cells in the amygdala of people with autism respond differently to faces in a way that explains many prior behavioral observations," says Adolphs, Bren Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and professor of biology at Caltech and coauthor of a study in the November 20 issue of Neuron that outlines the team's findings. "We believe this shows that abnormal functioning in the amygdala is a reason that people with autism process faces abnormally."
The amygdala has long been known to be important for the processing of emotional reactions. To make recordings from this part of the brain, Adolphs and lead author Ueli Rutishauser, assistant professor in the departments of neurosurgery and neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and visiting associate in biology at Caltech, teamed up with Adam Mamelak, professor of neurosurgery and director of functional neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai, and neurosurgeon Ian Ross at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California, to recruit patients with epilepsy who had electrodes implanted in their medial temporal lobes—the area of the brain where the amygdala is located—to help identify the origin of their seizures. Epileptic seizures are caused by a burst of abnormal electric activity in the brain, which the electrodes are designed to detect. It turns out that epilepsy and ASD sometimes go together, and so the researchers were able to identify two of the epilepsy patients who also had a diagnosis of ASD.
By using the implanted electrodes to record the firings of individual neurons, the researchers were able to observe activity as participants looked at images of different facial regions, and then correlate the neuronal responses with the pictures. In the control group of epilepsy patients without autism, the neurons responded most strongly to the eye region of the face, whereas in the two ASD patients, the neurons responded most strongly to the mouth region. Moreover, the effect was present in only a specific subset of the neurons. In contrast, a different set of neurons showed the same response in both groups when whole faces were shown.
"It was surprising to find such clear abnormalities at the level of single cells," explains Rutishauser. "We, like many others, had thought that the neurological abnormalities that contribute to autism were spread throughout the brain, and that it would be difficult to find highly specific correlates. Not only did we find highly specific abnormalities in single-cell responses, but only a certain subset of cells responded that way, while another set showed typical responses to faces. This specificity of these cell populations was surprising and is, in a way, very good news, because it suggests the existence of specific mechanisms for autism that we can potentially trace back to their genetic and environmental causes, and that one could imagine manipulating for targeted treatment."
"We can now ask how these cells change their responses with treatments, how they correspond to similar cell populations in animal models of autism, and what genes this particular population of cells expresses," adds Adolphs.
To validate their results, the researchers hope to identify and test additional subjects, which is a challenge because it is very hard to find people with autism who also have epilepsy and who have been implanted with electrodes in the amygdala for single-cell recordings, says Adolphs.
"At the same time, we should think about how to change the responses of these neurons, and see if those modifications correlate with behavioral changes," he says.
Funding for the research outlined in the Neuron paper, titled "Single-neuron correlates of abnormal face processing in autism," was provided by the Simons Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Autism Speaks, and the National Institute of Mental Health. Additional coauthors were Caltech postdoctoral scholar Oana Tudusciuc and graduate student Shuo Wang.
The weekend of October 11–13 brought a revival of the 1976 opera Einstein on the Beach to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, and along with it an opportunity for the Einstein Papers Project at Caltech to display some of its treasures: prized portraits of Einstein, plus texts and images from Einstein's life.
The principal mission of the Einstein Papers Project is to collect, edit, annotate, and translate all of Einstein's papers—a rich trove of material that includes not only published scientific works, but also his notebooks, lectures, diaries, and correspondence. Einstein bequeathed his papers to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which holds the largest collection of original Einstein manuscripts.
At Caltech, Professor of History Diana Kormos-Buchwald, director and general editor of the Einstein Papers Project, heads an international team of scholars who carry out research for The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, published by Princeton University Press. The series is anticipated to fill 30 volumes and is nearing its halfway point. "It takes us two to three years for each documentary volume and its companion English-language translation, so it won't be us who finish the project," she says.
The latest volume (Volume 13), released on September 25, 2012, takes Einstein through a turbulent 15 months of his life from January 1922 to March 1923, during which he received the Nobel Prize and undertook a lengthy journey to Japan, Palestine, and Spain. Volume 14, slated for release in October 2014, covers the years from 1923 to 1925, documenting Einstein's reactions to the earliest formulations of quantum mechanics. "One of the very interesting things that we discover in every volume is how many projects Einstein was involved in that never led to concrete publications," Kormos-Buchwald says.
Because the Einstein Papers Project is the premier U.S. source for all things Einstein, when the Los Angeles Opera decided to bring Einstein on the Beach to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, it asked Kormos-Buchwald if she could arrange exhibits about the historical Einstein to display in the second- and third-floor lobbies. Caltech trustee Marc Stern, chair of the Los Angeles Opera board of directors, expressed his excitement about the project, and soon Kormos-Buchwald was working with Garrett Collins and the marketing and outreach departments at the Los Angeles Opera to devise an appropriate evocation of Einstein's connections both to California via Caltech and to music.
On opposite sides of the second floor lobby, two exhibits were set up by Kormos-Buchwald and a team of professional installers led by Sam Mellon of Curatorial Assistance in Pasadena. One contained the series of images Albert Einstein at Home, created by photographer Herman Landshoff between 1946 and 1950. The series consists of 12 portraits of Einstein in his later years, a humble man with wild hair wearing suspenders, working in his office or simply sitting or standing. There are six prints of this series in existence; one is owned by Caltech. The other exhibit consisted of nine collages, usually on permanent display at the Einstein Papers Project, that document Einstein's three winters at Caltech (1930–1933); also included were three wall-size color facsimiles, one of Einstein's high school diploma and two of his early hand-written manuscripts on relativity, that were created in collaboration with the Williamson Gallery at the Art Center College of Design from originals held at the Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The third-floor exhibit, designed by Kormos-Buchwald specifically for Einstein on the Beach, and printed by James Staub of Caltech Graphic Resources, featured photographs of Einstein playing violin or piano and meeting with musicians. It included quotes by Einstein about music and his favorite composers, and displayed manuscripts documenting Einstein's support of the Palestine Symphony Orchestra and his relationship with German composer Paul Dessau, who wrote a chamber music piece for violin and harpsichord (or piano) for Einstein's 50th birthday, in March 1929, as well as his own opera about the famed physicist, titled simply Einstein and performed in East Berlin in 1974.
Despite the sea of documentation of Einstein's life compiled by the Einstein Papers Project, Einstein remains an enigmatic figure, simultaneously a scientist and a celebrity. The collages created to illustrate Einstein's time at Caltech give a sense of the sideshow atmosphere surrounding Einstein's presence in Southern California: newspapers at the time reported random sightings of the great man, and Einstein recorded his impressions of the media attention in his diaries.
Einstein's mixed legacy is still on abundant display at Caltech. Einstein the scientist remains relevant in physics classrooms, both undergraduate and graduate, and his work resonates in the work of Caltech's researchers and theoreticians. But Einstein the celebrity is present too: his face is printed on posters and T-shirts at the Caltech Bookstore, the guest room at the Athenaeum where he stayed during his visits to Caltech still bears his name; and the Landshoff portraits exhibited for the performance of Einstein on the Beach grace the entryway of the Board of Trustees meeting room in Millikan Library.
It was this mix of science and celebrity surrounding Einstein that appealed to cutting-edge composer Philip Glass and experimental theater director Robert Wilson when they decided in the mid 1970s to collaborate on an opera based on a historical figure. As Glass reflects in his book, Music by Philip Glass, "As a child, Einstein had been one of my heroes. Growing up just after World War II, as I had, it was impossible not to know who he was. The emphatic, if catastrophic, beginnings of the nuclear age had made atomic energy the most widely discussed issue of the day."
The result of the collaboration was a nearly five-hour opera without intermissions. The opus makes no effort to tell a story, much less recount a man's life, but is nevertheless filled to the brim with Einstein. As Kormos-Buchwald explains, "You have a lot of visual symbolism in Einstein on the Beach. There are the portraits of Einstein projected onto the stage, and for half the opera you have a musician dressed as Einstein in suspenders playing the violin. But there are also elevators, illustrating the principle of equivalence, and space-time diagrams and rockets. You have a child playing with a flashlight and a compass, as Einstein himself did, and there are rigid rods and clocks throughout the opera, critical to Einstein's theory of special relativity. Thus many visual and pedagogical tools that Einstein employed to make relativity understandable are being used in the opera."
As documented in volume 13 of The Collected Papers, Einstein often expressed his desire for "a normal life," feeling at odds with his celebrity. And yet, Kormos-Buchwald suspects, Einstein might not have been astounded by the exhibits and operas, or by a 30-volume opus. "I think he was very well aware he was a public figure. He knew that everything he said would be used and scrutinized in the future."

The All Blacks will face their oldest foe in their first

All Black captain Richie McCaw is to have surgery to remove a
screw from his injured right foot, team doctor Deb Robinson
Graham Henry says Steve Hansen's relationship with the All
Blacks players and his will to win make him an ideal
candidate to replace him as head coach.
Steve Hansen is highly likely to be the next All Black coach

Dunedin is getting an All Blacks parade - of sorts.
A gang of international conmen posed as Rugby World Cup
sponsors to steal tickets to the sold-out final and scalp
them to desperate fans for thousands of dollars.
A hotel chain is offering free accommodation if the All

he might smuggle the Webb Ellis Cup in his luggage, as
pressure for a parade in the city mounts.

From a few valuation metrics. Currently out of favor chineses stock are price at 1.5 times sales. Which prices us at 1.50 -1.60In dark days of 2008 and 2009 chgs low was .80 --- so I still believe that is absolute floor with management still holding 70% of the shares.Now this is a growing company -- Refractories are steady at 11 million quarter. Proppants are at 5 million/quarter with Q3 and Q4 having the bulk of sales. Heck were already at 12 million in sales for the years blow out my number which I thought was 2 million/quarter.Now ceremics does 400k/quarter which gives us a run rate of 64 - 68 million this year. Which I think its doable with just the 3 products lines.Lastly most of us are counting on big growth from the FPA line, which is getting launch in the next couple weeks. It will be interesting to see if that can push CHGS up over 70 million run rate for 2010.If this happens could CHGS do 100 million in 2011 or 2012. Possibly a 25 million/quarter run rate should not be too far out in the future.Mangement said two thing that were important to me in the last CC. First a big export propannt contract was going to happen soon. Check deliver. And that a smaill initial order for FPA for 500k was happening. Which may or may not produce a PR. Management is very transparent, listens well and delivers, which I liked a lotI think CHGS is a steal at todays rock bottom prices and have bought a lot of shares in the past few days. I think the Q3 CC and Q4 CC will have some pleasant surprises for us shareholders.
well... it's certainly a better price than when I bought in for 57% more than the current price back in April. I guess I should buy more now, but fear is holding me back.
You were lucky you paid only about $2. Some people here paid well more than $3! Those prices are gone forever. I would be shocked if it ever sees even 1.75 again. I don't know if anything is wrong with the company, but the stock is a total woofer.
