Scout also had this to say "Great looking young prospect who played a big role in his teams state championship as a freshman. Plays like a veteran player with great body control and skills. Could grow into a major prospect."
Unfortunately for us he seems to have no desire to follow in his cousins footsteps and he basically was on his knees for sweater vest when he came to the school because we won states this past week. This may not be a big deal if he doesn't turn into anything close to his cousin, but if he even has half the talent, it will be a shame.
Peppers at 10, which seems low.

We analyzed tweets from Switzerland, England, and Brazil. We put extra care to make sure our model can do well against Swiss-German text.
We created custom fast Natural Language Processor in node.js. Why node? It has very good run-time when dealing with lots and lots of strings. We used unsupervised machine learning techniques to teach our model the Swiss German and English writing model. Once we had a working model, we added couple other models using Bayesian inference to create an ensemble https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_learning
Once we got our server working we thought about adding some better UI. We asked our User Experience specialist Laura to suggest improvements. See for yourself:
Design model for Swiss-German is especially hard: the language incorporates German, with a lot of French and Italian words. Also spelling of words changes from canton to canton. If we add that most people when writing tweets are forced to use abbreviation, we get the whole picture of the challenge.
In order to get a good result we needed to incorporate data from various people and different nationalities. The good thing is that the more you use our model the more accurate it gets.
One of the problems is that for humans is hard to understand the irony or sarcasm. Especially in short tweets. So it's also hard for a machine.
I would like to thanks Andrey Poplavskiy for his "css love", and Adrian Philipp for his huge contribution and encouragement towards this project.
It is a long-term and flexible solution listing and exemplifying web components and tools useful to create a website. For instance, it explains how to use each component, how they should appear on the web and interact. It is a support for developers while integrating, and useful for designers, as it allows them to keep a general vision on the style and the system's functionalities. It is obviously necessary to keep a StyleGuide up-to-date, anytime the Corporate Design or Corporate Identity is modified.
The Swiss Confederation is split in multiple departments, each of them owning one or more website. The StyleGuide supplies them a common ground for the creation and their websites, while ensuring a coherent visual identity for the user. The StyleGuide does not only offers web-component AA certified according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines' recommendations about accessibility, it also provides additional information. The StyleGuide aims at ensuring a wide access to information to any kind of users, including disabled people (for instance sight or hearing disability). These recommendations are also useful to all users.
Swiss Confederation web guidelines define the graphic guidelines of the Swiss Confederation on the web. It ensure coherence on the different websites developed under the admin.ch domain.
The StyleGuide is to be used by internal federal project manager and external service providers. The code is opensource, each can use, modify, solve issues or propose improvement. The StyleGuide is very convenient to use in all projects and easy to install with NPM or Bower. It is possible to download an archive or duplicate the project from Github. The whole installation process is available on Github.
The last version of the StyleGuide is built on a Fabricator. It is automatically multilingually generated with Gulp. Gulp is also gathers and improve all necessary files for the framework to work properly. The documentation is written in markdown, the components are dynamic templates Handlebars. The translation is performed with the support of a personalised Handelbars, referencing translated files in YAML.
When React Native for Android came out I was excited to investigate it more at one of Liips monthly innovation days. Liip already developed a React Native app for iOS and we wanted to know how it works for Android. We were: Andrey, Germain, Lukasz and me. Germain is currently working on a cross platform app written with Xamarin.
For this hackday we tried to port an existing React Native iOS app to Android.
TL;DR: We are waiting for WebViews to be supported. See the pull request for changes. We didn't need to dive deep into Android APIs like XML Layouts for views.

Last week some Liipers and I were in Barcelona for Full Stack Fest, 5 days of Ruby and JavaScript talks, workshops and hackathons. I personally only attended the second part, FutureJS, and this is going to be today's topic.
The first talk I'd like to share was everything but disappointing. I already saw Rachel Andrew last year at the Front-end Conference in Zürich — an impressive talk about the CSS Grid Layout — and so I was eager to listen to her again. This time the topic was "The business of front-end development" and covered various themes related to her current work and experience.
So what is front-end development? As she said, it used to be mostly being a browser bugs expert. But as they become more and more focused on standards and keep updating frequently — and even automatically — we can finally focus on the most important: creating a good user experience.
The problem is, we tend to be lazy and installing frameworks and libraries without even thinking about the drawbacks is becoming the standard. As Rachel said, we are for sure gaining time on our sides, making our processes quicker but is it worth it? It might cause accessibility issues or even increase the site loading time and you should probably care about this.
Projects are all different, put your usual tools aside when they don't fit. Think about your visitors' browser, the country they live in and the usual network connection they have. Focus on the core experience and then — and only then — make it shine.
The slides are available on Speaker Deck.
The second talk that particularly caught my attention was the one from Alex Sexton about "Hacking Front-end Apps". I knew security on the web was hard, but I really got impressed by his examples of possible hacks.
As he told us, we all have a friend named <script>alert('Hacked')</script> somewhere in our database but that's just the tip of the iceberg. All the libraries you hot-link from CDNs, the JSONP requests you do, all these flaws could potentially result in external code being executed on your site.
"You cannot detect malicious code"; I totally approve this assertion, myself having been hacked in the past. The upcoming solution therefore totally makes sense: block everything by default and then white-list only what you trust.
"Content Security Policy", a W3C Candidate Recommendation, is a standard HTTP header designed to allow websites to declare approved sources of content that browsers are allowed to load into the current page.
All you have to do then is to define a white-list of resources you want the browser to load. The support is pretty good and you can read more about it on content-security-policy.com.
Discover a bunch of the most weird front-end hacks in the slides.
The interactive presentation of Ben Foxall about browser capabilities was fun. Listening to Tom Dale talking about the process behind Glimmer, Ember's rendering engine, was interesting. Also watching James Halliday creating a Twitter-like messaging system based on P2P was pretty impressive. And finally, hearing Mikeal Rogers saying that Node and IO will be together again to release Node 4 under the Node Foundation was reassuring.
This edition of FutureJS was great; especially the venue and the party at the beach. The biggest disappointment was probably the Wi-Fi who was actually worse than the one from the hotel. If anyone from the organizers is reading this, please do something for next year! Full Stack Fest will takes place again for sure but the dates aren't known yet, check the line-up once its released!

We saw in a previous post, best-practices to optimize the client-side resources load, and by the way, reduce our web page's loading time. Let's keep in mind these concepts and solutions and assume that we develop a content-centric application in Java/JSP.
This application contains components that have many renditions for multi-channel usage. (As explained in our previous webmardi about content-centric application.)
Let's take a component with a "in page" rendition, and a "standalone" rendition. So this component can be displayed integrated to a page, for example by sling or the JCR api, and as standalone HTML by a direct HTTP request. And in both cases, this component requires some client-side resources to be well displayed.
In the "standalone" usage of the component: We must refer the resources inside the component's "standalone" rendition script:
Then in the "in-page" usage: We refer the resources in our "container" page rendition's script.
We see in this inclusion that we must specify a "in-page" rendition that doesn't include the resource again. And here is this "in-page" rendition:
Again we include our script in our container page rather than in the component, exactly to manage coherence of the resources inclusions.
This content centric application model, doesn't solve the problem described in previous post: We still have to find the golden mean between too much or not enough granularity in the categories of the client-side resources.
But we see that renditions of a component are not dependent each other. Meaning, we can choose what resource to load in "standalone", "in-page", or any else renditions.
Note that if it's not a problem to make "standalone" and "in-line" renditions dependent each other, you can put all the common code (the ul and foreach loop) in a common script, and include it with standard JSP methods.
The JCR/Sling based CMS "Adobe Experience Manager" comes with a great feature, designed to automate all these inclusions and to ensure a good coherence of your resources categories. This is the "clientlib" system.
First we create somewhere in the JCR, a node with the primary type "cq:ClientLibraryFolder". This node will have a property "categories" where we'll name one or many categories (for example "my-internal-lib"). In this node, we put our scripts (JS and CSS), that we want to be loaded, when we call (in a rendition jsp) the previously named category. That is the basic concept.
Added to this, "cq:ClientLibraryFolder" have these very useful properties:
Here's a client-library-folder for our carousel component example:
In the rendition JSP, I call this category with a jsp tag:
Use of clientlib system is not required by AEM, but at Liip in the AEM squad, we find the feature great. So we use it.
Unfortunately there's a little performance problem with this. We know that JS should be loaded at the end of the body. To stay compliant to the content-centric model while providing these features, or for any reason I don't know, AEM decided to print the inclusions right where the tag is used.
The easy solution we found at Liip to resolve this last problem is just to encapsulate the AEM tag in a custom tag:
In this encapsulation, we buffered the output generated by AEM's clientlib system, until we print this output with:
A way to do big, clean, and scalable content-centric application, with very good client side performance.

Last week I was at FullFrontal 2014 in Brighton, a single day conference for front-end developers. Here is some interesting stuff from the talks:
Scott Jenson presented "The Physical Web" which
is an experimental project from Google. The main principle is to transmit URLs on demand through Bluetooth Low Energy devices like iBeacon and then use the mobile web browser instead of native apps (which you have to install first).
I think it's a very good idea! For example, if you are in a bus station and you want to know when the bus arrives, you don't want to download a mobile application or enter the url of the bus company. With "physical web", an iBeacon can transmit the url of the bus station with the time of the next bus directly to your smart device.
More info on Physical Web website and Documentation page on Github.

Coming from the PHP world, I've spent a lot of time trying to reproduce or finding a similar way to work with objects and inheritance with Javascript. A lot of libraries gives you their own style of a class-like functionality with javascript, and yes, it will work similarly as OO classes, but after a big javascript project, you will probably want to understand what's all this prototype stuff appearing in your console during your debug sessions, and eventually find out that the classical inheritance and its preferred keyword new does not suit javascript so well.
The first thing that confuses developer that really start developing with javascript is the new keyword. "ah ok, like in PHP or Java, I can create instances of Car with new Car(), easy". I won't dive into history details here, but you have to know that new was only introduced to let javascript gain more popularity. new is syntactic sugar, but hides the real prototypal nature of the language.
Check the following constructor pattern in javascript:
new Car()
It looks not so bad. Well I have to use this prototype keyword there, but ok, if it works like that. Let's define a square now, which is kind of a rectangle, so it extends our Rectangle class:
create is kind of a factory (avoid the term constructor now), and what's nice is that it's integrated in the object itself.
Let's create the square now:
This is so more intuitiv: Square is a base object, once defined you don't want to touch it (except if you want to modify all square instances). Then you create an instance of it by calling Square.create. Note that we didn't have to use the prototype keyword to achieve inheritance.
Let's have a look at the sq object in the console:
We can see that the properties of Rectangle are in __proto__, and width and height are own properties of the object. If the object doesn't redefine its properties, the javascript engine will look for them in __proto__, and if it doesn't find them, will dive deeper into __proto__ of __proto__, until it finds it (or an exception is thrown). So by nature, javascript has this inheritance chaining built-in, and there lies all the power of the language.
By the way you maybe also noticed that the very last __proto__ contains some basic functions: all objects in javascript inherit from Object and therefore have these native functions like valueOf or toString.
Because the objects extend other objects, you have to keep in mind that some properties of your object are in __proto__, and therefore were not copied when you created your instance. This can lead to unexpected behaviour if you forget about it, let's see an example:
poorCar has 2 options too because both instances have their options property pointing to the base Car.options property. To fix it, you have to create an options array whenever you create a car instance. Let's add a create function to do this:
Having properties in common can be very useful though, if I change the type property of Car, all the instances will get the new type.
Create a base object, extend from it, extend from others, change its behaviour, the language let you do nearly everything, leading to a lot of flexibility, but also to multiple way of doing things (which is not always good for developer, often looking for the right way to do what they intend to do).
Of course new has sometimes legitimate uses, and does not really cause problems if you don't need inheritance. But are you really wanting to use it now that you read this?

On the September 2014 hack day at Liip we explored how AngularJS compares to ReactJS with Flux for large web applications.
There have been other comparisons before but none focused on larger web apps.
We like both frameworks a lot and since the choice for one library always depends on the applications requirements we won't give a recommendation. Given its age, AngularJS is way more mature than ReactJS which results in more available libraries and widespread use. It is to be seen how ReactJS can use its traction to catch up with AngularJS.
We started our hack day by collecting aspects we thought are relevant for larger web applications.
Since we were four people, we decided to have each Liiper look at the framework they had the least prior knowledge. The Liipers Matteo De Micheli and Mano Speck dived into ReactJS + Flux while Bastian Feder and myself took a look at AngularJS. We felt this maximised fun and learning of new technologies. Then each team got their hands dirty until we discussed our findings at the end of the day.
For AngularJS we first tried to scaffold an example app with yeoman. After some setup issues we got an app generated, but we realised that we wanted to see the use of AngularJS in existing apps. We found an example angular-app based on ngbp which argues to contain a best-practice directory structure to ensure code reusability and maximum scalability. To understand AngularJS, we scanned and modified the code while reading the great AngularJS documentation.
For ReactJS and Flux we looked at the ReactJS and Flux documentation. With yahoo/flux-examples we found an example how the architecture works in practice.
In the following list we compare the two libraries in aspects we think are important for larger javascript web applications. We don't claim this list to be complete but hopefully you'll find it useful.
AngularJS: http://ngmodules.org/ currently shows an impressive number of 870 modules. Learning resources in the form of courses are available for example form codeschool, egghead and udemy. Lots of companies build their apps with AngularJS. Support channels can be found on the AngularJS website under 'Discuss'.
ReactJS: http://react-components.com/ is growing but with under 100 components not quite there yet. The community compared to AngularJS isn't too big but with Facebook, Instagram, Github and Yahoo (migrating Yahoo! Mail from YUI to ReactJS) there are more companies using it and we see lots of traction.
See the support channels when looking for help.
AngularJS: Because of many language constructs a develper has to learn, we experienced a steep learning curve. Previous knowledge of the MVC pattern helps. The declarative style using data binding reduces complexity and side effects compared to css selector matching in jQuery. Independence of css selectors for data binding is useful for simultaneous development of UI and business logic. AngularJS brings lots of functionallity like routing and models either build-in or as a module.
ReactJS: When it comes to ReactJS itself, things are pretty clear. Mixing template and view logic in components seemed weird at first, but it has good reasons and JSX is more familar to traditional HTML. Components reduce complexity by only caring about their own state and declarativly rendering it. State flows down the component hierarchy while events flow up. ReactJS is good for a "view" but an application also needs routing, models etc.
Looking at Flux things get more complex. The flux application architecture video and fluxxors documentation give a good overview but at the end of the day we felt that we didn't fully grasphed the concept yet.
AngularJS: Because services can be written the way the developer wants, it is no problem to write encapsulated code. For example using ReactJS in a AngularJS directive is not an issue. For Controller, Directive, Filter and Animation you have to adhere the corresponding interfaces.
ReactJS: Reusing existing libraries like for example markdown is possible as long as they don't rely on the DOM. Unfortunately a lot of libraries rely on the DOM. When writing a component it needs to implement the Component API.
AngularJS: Modularisation is a core concept of AngularJS and automatic dependency resolution supports code-reuse. We like the dependency injection. Applications build with AngularJS seem to be highly extensible with directives, own services (…) and composable with modules.
ReactJS: Components are modular and reusable and share functionality using mixins. The use of composition over inheritance allows for composing an application.
AngularJS: Minified and compressed the size of the AngularJS core is under 36 KB which is quite reasonable. Depending on other external dependencies the download size could increase rapidly but that is not specific to AngularJS. If the functionality of jqLite is enough, a dependency on jQuery could be avoided. Modules have to be loaded or can be dynamically loaded using for example ocombe/ocLazyLoad. Key-Value observation like in Ember, Knockout, Backbone and Meteor (…) has a performance impact which will hopefully decrease in the future with Object.observe() in AngularJS 2.0.
ReactJS: About 26 KB (min+gzipped) for only the 'view' part of an application might seem big but given that a lot of Reacts functionality overlaps with jQuery and templating engines (which won't be used anyway) it's actually pretty small. The rendering performance is fast, thanks to their javascript virtual DOM. Because the virtual DOM is rebuilt every time something changes there is no need for observation. Rerendering of the actual DOM can be avoided and in many cases like the Khan Academy TeX editor or Githubs Atom Editor this greatly improves user experience.
AngularJS: AngularJS is widespread. Given it's upcoming 1.3 release there are some breaking changes and also the API is cleaned of deprecated functions which is very normal. We would consider AngularJS as stable.
ReactJS: The library is production ready but hasn't reached version 1.0 yet. There is a lot planned and changes to the API are to be expected.
AngularJS: Karma for continuous testing is fast and the built-in testing support in AngularJS feels great. We really like their end-to-end scenario runner and how testing works thanks to dependency injection.
ReactJS: Testing is possible for example with facebook's inhouse framework Jest based on Jasmin or any other testing framework. Test utilities help to make this a little easier. Using Karma with ReactJS could be interesting.
AngularJS: Plugins for major ides (webstorm, eclipse, netbeans) are available. Yeoman generators and examples how to bundle an app with grunt/gulp are numerous. In general there is good tooling support.
ReactJS: There are tools and some editor support but IDE support is not there yet. Yeoman can be used to scaffold.
Thanks for reading. For a summary see the top.

I came up with this after trying several different meatball recipes. It's versatile and doesn't use chili sauce, which I never seem to have on hand. I like it best made with half jelly and half cranberry sauce. You can make these on the stove, in a crock-pot or in an electric skillet.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen meatballs (not Italian)
- 1 cup jam or 1 cup jellied cranberry sauce
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 dash seasoning salt
- 1 dash garlic powder
- 1 dash ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
- Combine all ingredients except meatballs on high heat and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
- Add meatballs and stir so that the sauce is evenly distributed and covers all the meatballs.
- Turn down to low and cook 3 - 4 hours.

Although caffeine is the most widely used behaviorally active drug in the world, caffeine physical dependence has been poorly characterized in laboratory animals and only moderately well characterized in humans. In humans, a review of 37 clinical reports and experimental studies dating back to 1833 shows that headache and fatigue are the most frequent withdrawal symptoms, with a wide variety of other signs and symptoms occurring at lower frequency (e.g. anxiety, impaired psychomotor performance, nausea/vomiting and craving). When caffeine withdrawal occurs, severity can vary from mild to extreme (i.e. incapacitating). The withdrawal syndrome has an onset at 12–24 h, peak at 20–48 h, and duration of about 1 week. The pharmacological specificity of caffeine withdrawal has been established. The proportion of heavy caffeine users who will experience withdrawal symptoms has been estimated from experimental studies to range from 25% to 100%. Withdrawal symptoms have been documented after relatively short-term exposure to high doses of caffeine (i.e. 6–15 days of ≥600 mg/day). Although animal and human studies suggest that physical dependence may potentiate the reinforcing effects of caffeine, human studies also demonstrate that a history of substantial caffeine intake is not a necessary condition for caffeine to function as a reinforcer. The similarities and differences between caffeine and classic drugs of abuse are discussed.

When I made the reservation, i checked out the website to see what it looked like. I think the website needs new pictures because in person, the lobby and the rooms looked way better in person. The beds were amazing like other westin properties. One thing i definitely appreciated was the room attendant's service. I requested mulitple times, but without fail, they came right away to give me what i requested for. Will definitely come back.

The U.S. Fencing Mask is Awesome! It has the American flag on the front of it so the opponent has to face it while competing. Reminded me of a Roman soldier named Brutus Maximus, who fought a violent battle with his entire face covered with a mask of steel. The mask was not cast in his own image, but the image of his emperor, Caesar Augustus. It's said that he told his enemies, "I see you through my emperor's eyes. I represent him on the battlefield. I am fighting for his glory."
It is the same with our "opponent", Satan. As a son and daughter of God, whose likeness does the enemy see?
Go ahead and eat and enjoy fast food, but don't stop counting calories when you're facing that menu board. To keep calories in check, follow these five rules developed by Dr. Jessica Bartfield, an internal medicine physician who specializes in nutrition and weight management at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, part of Loyola University Health System. Five rules to follow when you're ordering fast food:
1. Select grilled rather than fried.
A fast-food grilled chicken sandwich has 470 calories and 18 grams of fat, while the fried version has 750 calories and 45 grams of fat.
2. Pass up the cheese, mayonnaise and salad dressings unless low-fat options are available.
Cheese can add an additional 100 calories or more per serving, as does mayonnaise, and you probably won't miss the taste when ordering the plainer versions.
3. Order the smallest size available.
Go for the single burger rather than the double, and order the small fries rather than the super size.
4. Skip the sugar-sweetened drinks.
Beverages sweetened with sugar don't have much nutritional value and don't make you feel more satisfied. In addition, calories from sugar quickly add up, leading to excessive calorie consumption, especially at restaurants offering free and unlimited refills on drinks.
5. Save half of your order for your next meal.
Bring your own take-home dish and scoop half your food into it before you even take the first bite. This will not only save calories, but also time and money.

Skip to comments.Sleep With Neanderthals? Apparently We (homo Sapiens) Did

Haunting eyes on that chick. Scary!
You know, Yaleys ;)
You might have, but I can assure you that I did not.
Hey give that guy a shave and a haircut and he looks a lot like me! Maybe I'm the missing link! :-)
Unfortunately, just like everything else about evolution, this is a created sculpture, ie.. a fake
Evolution is bad sceince and its' theory does not pass the sceintific method.
IMHO, WhiteKnight
There is much reason to think that modern humans could not interbreed with Neanderthals, simply because the vast preponderence of the evidence points squarely toward no interbreeding. But that being said, even if modern humans and Neanderthals could interbreed there are many, many sociocultural and behavioral factors that could very well make it never happen, or happen so rarely as to be of no consequence.
Hey Laz, people are talking about your dating history again.
Just bear in mind that they did not have make-up and tweezers 35,000 years ago. ;^)

Love with a Neanderthal? It could have happened

shhhhhhhhhhhhh ;)
The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
by James Shreeve
D@mn! That looks like my sister in law!
red hair is a neanderthal gene.
In short, for all we know Neanderthals may've been inclined to kill modern humans on sight, or vice versa. There's certainly plenty of fossil evidence to establish that Neanderthal fossils vanish from any given region almost immediately after the arrival of Cro-Magnons.
We know that over and over again that tends to be the initial reaction of aboriginal humans, for that matter. It isn't 'Oh, come screw us'; it's 'Get the $%#& off our land!" Eventually, by conquest or by diplomacy, a rapport gets established, and then the screwing comes along, but to reiterate yet again, there is no reason to think that we could communicate with Neanderthal in anything but the most rudimentary fashion.
Would you want to go to sleep beside some incomprehensible wild-eyed burly ape-woman scheming how to bash your head in with a rock for all you know?
Thanks, patton, you just ruined my day. I'm red-headed. The only one in my family. Must have been a Neanderthal Ice-man :-0
Oh, which brings me to the other point that I forgot to re-mention: In order to have Neanderthal intermixed with modern human populations, then what you have to have is not human men sleeping with Neanderthal women, but rather human women sleeping with Neanderthal men. That's because you have to have the progeny end up back in the human community. So, what you need is for human women to somehow go sleep with Neanderthal men, return or remain in the human encampment, then bring the pregnancy to term, then to raise the hybrid up to adulthood, and then to have that hybrid cross-breed back into the human community again.
"oh, puLLEEZE, anything to deny the existence of God..anything to duhumanize, anything to make us more LIKE MONKEYS."
LOL - Don't you have to blame God ? He wrote the book on how to make humbans and monkeys, and it looks like he simply cut'n'pasted most from one to the other.
"The new study found that 99.4 percent of the most critical DNA sites are identical in the corresponding human and chimp genes. "
The scinetists are simply learning how to read those instructions.
Neanderthal genes.
Also likely to have too many teeth, more muscles, lanky arms, and allergies, ranging from asthma to Crohn's disease. Sinus infections are almost guaranteed.
Oddly enough, ringworms help.
yep, um, we know ;)
Humbans = humans
Now if He only included the spelling gene ...
Red hair has been idly speculated to be a neanderthal gene, but probably isn't.
Did we interbreed with Neanders? I don't know. But I do know some of us would have tried.
Remember when Former President Clinton saw the mummified body of a 16 year old Incan girl? He immediately said She Sure Looks Good To ME! And a few other comments.
Oh, and one more thing: I'm not saying that I wouldn't hit it if all I had to work with was what they would've had 35,000 years ago. What I'm saying is that I would not trade a rhino steak for it. ;^)
I had hoped for something actually substantative; I see this may be beyond your capability.
well, you see, we can't win for losing. It's been put forth by the scientist that either we slept with Neanderthals. Or, we up and killed all of them off.
A clue as to where I clients come from?
This explains a lot of things I was wondering about.
What's the big deal? Their descendants are now sleeping with sheep and other barnyard animals.
Your statement is a blatent, unsupported assertion and therefore deserves nothing more than my reply.
Speaking to willful ignorance is like teaching a pig to dance.
This I certify to be a true Reuters photo...all the others were fakes...!
A real "Coyote Date" Some guys will sleep with anything.
Word of advice: if you want to pontificate on what is and is not good science, learn to spell the word.
Otherwise, people may not take you seriesly. And that would be a hugh mistake.
aping: to copy closely but often clumsily and ineptly
What has gotten your knickers into such a twist?
Allergies and sinus infections, I have! Thanks for preparing me for things to come. Ringworms! Just dandy.
In this equation it quite likely doesn't matter what human guys will sleep with; it matters what human girls will sleep with. That's the conceptual hurdle that a lot of people seem to have difficulty vaulting over. In order for the progeny to end up in human communities, then what you almost certainly have to have human women sleep with Neanderthal men. If what you have is human men ravishing Neanderthal women, the progeny are gonna end up back over in the Neanderthal community, and needless to mention all those went dead.
Then, assuming you have human women sleep with Neanderthal men (and willing to raise the hybrid progeny) what you also need is Neanderthal men willing to sleep with human women, and we can hardly assume that would be the case. If you want an analogy, take the common chimp and the bonobo chimp: the two closely related subspecies nonetheless have radically different sexual behaviors.
You spout nonsense. Please grow up.
If you have a contention, backed with facts and logic, fine. Platitudes are a waste of time and electrons.
This was not a statement of assertion but a supposition; nor was it blatant; note the operative words "may be". So your are actually incorrect in your assumption. Have a good evening.
Additionally let me help you! "blatent" is spelled blatant.
I suspect not enough fiber.
You are correct. They have found Neanderthal in Israel (near Carmel) that dated to about 92,000 years, and also Homo Sapiens Sapiens that dated about 102,000 years - we were contemporaneous with them (NOT descended from them!) Apparently, they were Hunter Gatherers and limited intelligently, while the Homo Sapiens Sapiens were farmers and more family oriented and had a better language and intelligence. Why Neanderthal died out, and we did not is a mystery to Anthropologists...
I'll let gunner (red hat) field that question.

Ultrasound in Retinal Detachment Surgery
The treatment of retinal detachment still presents a great challenge in Opthamology. The following work describes two possible uses of ultrasound in retinal detachment surgery. Firstly, studies indicate that hemolysis of massive vitreous hemorrhage using ultrasound, withdrawal of vitreous hemorrhage by suction, and its replacement with normal saline, may be possible in cases of longstanding vitreous hemorrhage due to retinal detachment, diabetes mellitus, or hemorrhagic diathesis. Secondly, the radiation pressure effect of ultrasonic energy can possibly be used to retrodisplace retinal detachment, treat giant retinal tears, and position air bubbles placed within the vitreous cavity. Frequencies in the low kilohertz range are used for emulsification and withdrawal of vitreous hemorrhage. The higher kilohertz and megahertz frequencies were selected for retrodisplacement of retinal tissue.

Retail demand for Fonterra units remains high with the price
of units trading at $7.15 yesterday, which was up from the
$5.50 listing price.
The market cap of the units was $525 million when they were
floated on November 30 but yesterday the cap was $669
million, an increase of $144 million.
Although trading among farmers (TAF) had been helping the
original demand for Fonterra units, the current demand is
driven totally by retail and institutional investors trying
to build a stake in the dairy co-operative.
The nearly 95 million units on offer have created a lack of
liquidity because of the severe scaling back of the
allocations. Many of those who have the units want to keep
If investors want to build a position, they have to push up
the price to make it attractive for investors to sell. The
demand for the units is not being driven by farmers wanting
to sell.
The first disclosure of a substantial holding was released
this week. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia and its
subsidiaries notified the NZX it held a beneficial interest
of 7.43% in the units, or nearly 7.1 million units.
CBA, which owns ASB Bank in New Zealand, appeared to have
paid an average of $4.65 for its units.

Man Allegedly Tased By Police While Praying Over Dead Son At Hospital
CREDIT: Shutterstock
Reverend Earl Baldwin Jr. of Pittsburgh filed a civil rights lawsuit against police after they allegedly restrained and tased him in a hospital emergency room. Baldwin claims he was trying to pay his last respects to his dead stepson when the incident occurred.
According to Baldwin, he was trying to pray for 23-year-old Mileek Grissom in the UPMC Mercy Hospital, when officers pulled him away and tased him. "I needed to tell him his family was going to be OK," Baldwin explained to WPXI. "I was going to do everything I could to make sure they were OK."
Video from a hospital camera shows a distraught Baldwin handcuffed and surrounded by several officers trying to pull him away from his son, and one of the officers shooting him in the back with a taser. Officers say Baldwin was interfering while doctors tried to revive Grissom, but a family attorney says Grissom was dead and not being treated at the time.
The police department has not issued a statement about the lawsuit, but UPMC refutes Baldwin's claim. "Clearly this was a stressful situation and a tragic loss for this family," it said. "However, the allegations about the circumstances are inaccurate."
Tori Baldwin, Grissom's mother, was denied entry into the hospital at the time.

SEOUL, March 10 (Yonhap) -- Operating profit ratios of most large South Korean companies fell last year in the face of tough economic challenges, a report by a local conglomerate researcher said Monday.
According to Chaebul.com, sales and operating profits of 84 listed affiliates belonging to the country's top 10 business groups, excluding financial firms, reached 695.3 trillion won and 48.6 trillion won, respectively, in 2013, up 2.3 percent and 2.5 percent from the year before.
It, however, said in the all important ratio of operating profit to net sales -- often viewed as a barometer of corporate health -- numbers contracted noticeably.
"With the exception of SK and LG groups, profit ratios of the other eight conglomerates all lost ground from the year before," the corporate information provider said, adding that tough economic conditions at home and abroad played a role in the weaker earnings numbers.
In the case of Samsung, South Korea's largest business group, the 13 assessed affiliates posted sales and operating profits of 223.1 trillion won and 23.4 trillion won each. These numbers represent a gain of 8.8 percent and 6.6 percent from the year before, but the combined operating profit ratio stood at 10.48 percent, down 0.22 percentage point from 2012.
For Hyundai Motor Group, the world's fifth-largest automotive conglomerate, sales and operating profit stood at 132.4 trillion won and 9.7 trillion won. Both represent a drop from the year before, with the operating profit ratio falling 0.6 percentage point to 7.35 percent.
The drop in the ratio numbers is the sharpest for the carmaking conglomerate since the 2008 global financial crisis.
Chaebul.com said such a poor showing was repeated in POSCO, the country's No. 1 steelmaker, and Hyundai Heavy Industries Group.
"Both conglomerates reported drops in sales and operating profits last year vis-a-vis 2012, with operating profit ratios falling 0.7 percentage point and 2.61 percent points each," the think tank said.
Seven POSCO and three Hyundai Heavy affiliates were counted in the tally.
In the case of Lotte Group, seven listed companies posted better sales and operating profits even as the operating profit ratio contracted 0.32 percentage point.
Hanwha Group sales rose to around 9.1 trillion won, yet the ratio of operating profit net sales stood at 2.51 percent, or a drop of 0.75 percent from the year before.
For GS and Hanjin groups, operating profits were in the red by 400 billion won and 300 billion won each. Both conglomerates reported profits the year before.
GS has been hurt by the downturn in the petrochemical and oil refining sector, while Hanjin has been affected by the sluggish shipping market.
On the other hand, the 16 companies belonging to the SK Group, led by SK hynix Inc., the world's second-largest memory chipmaker, saw their operating profit surge 93.6 percent to 7.2 trillion won. Its operating profit ratio almost doubled to 10.8 percent from 5.72 percent.
LG Group's sales and operating profits gained 102.2 trillion won and 3.5 trillion won, with the operating profit ratio of its 11 listed affiliates that were assessed edging up 0.02 percent point to 3.45 percent.

Nine Black Alps Eyes Tour With Giant Drag, Cribs
Up-and-coming British rock act Nine Black Alps is plotting a spring North American tour with Giant Drag and the Cribs, lead singer Sam Forrest tells Billboard.com.Up-and-coming British rock act Nine Black Alps is plotting a spring North American tour with Giant Drag and the Cribs, lead singer Sam Forrest tells Billboard.com. "We know both those bands really well, so that would be ace," he says. An appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in late April in Indio, Calif., is "on my schedule, but I'm not sure if that's confirmed," according to Forrest.
Nine Black Alps will be out behind its full-length debut, "Everything Is," due Feb. 28 via Interscope. The set has been out since last fall in the band's native land, and in the ensuing months, a number of new songs have taken shape.
"Hopefully on the American tour we should get a few new songs out there," Forrest says. "In England, we have to do hour-long sets on a headline tour, but our album is only 30 minutes long. We have to play B-sides and things nobody really knows. I actually prefer some of the B-sides to the songs on the album."
Forrest says the time lag between the album's American release has allowed the band to "correct all the mistakes we made the first time around in England. We were so new to it. We didn't know what we're doing. Now we can relax and hopefully take control and rely less on other people's wisdom."
Later this month, Nine Black Alps will be back in the studio to begin work on its sophomore album. "I've got tons of songs written -- over 30, I think," Forrest says. "Most of January we'll be in our rehearsal space in Manchester, bashing things out and seeing what works and seeing what direction it takes. That's the most exciting time for us -- when you actually realize what you're trying to achieve or how good you are."
The band will return to the road Feb. 9, when a two-week U.K./Ireland trek kicks off in Belfast. Asked how closely he's following the much buzzed-about new wave of young English acts that have emerged of late, Forrest says, "We don't have much in common with them musically. I don't really see any of them as our contemporaries, really. It's based on geography rather than musicality."

Facebook said revenue from advertising which made up 86% of its total sales jumped 36%. Susquehanna analyst Herman Leung said that was "much better than what the Street expected."
Facebook also said it now has 1.01 billion monthly active users, up 26% from the year-earlier period. Meanwhile, Facebook's mobile monthly active users soared 61% to 604 million from the year-ago period.
