Ooh, Baby Baby...Baby Baby
Salt and Pepa's here, and we're in effect. Want you to push it baby. Push it good. P-Push it real good—as long as it's not a baby stroller, you're pushing.
Sandra Bullock kicked Jesse's ass to the curb when she caught him cheating with not one but several side dishes, and proceeded with her plans to adopt baby Louis anyway. This was initially a commitment she was going to make with her then husband. Celebrity women such as Sandra Bullock and Madonna have oodles of dough and can afford to adopt. They can afford a nanny (or two) along with their bodyguards, personal assistants, and countless other staff. Brad and Angie have a basketball team of nannies for their Brady Bunch of six. For the average single woman, such as myself, adopting a child is a luxury one can ill-afford.

So, Wednesday night, I was going to do my normal skipping the X Factor because I just don't find it all that compelling. I had watched it a couple of times so I could get a feel for the contestants and to see Demi Lovato and Britney Spears and just so I could write about it or converse with someone in the liquor store line if it came to it. I got some texts from east coast friends that said I had to watch it Tuesday and that LeAnn Rimes was awful. Always willing to see a horrible LeAnn Rimes I tuned in and watched her get her butt handed to her on her own song by a 13 year old. Was LeAnn drunk? Maybe she was hopped up on laxatives and needed to speed things up so she could hit a bathroom. She seemed drunk or whacked out or on something. Then again, to me she always does. So, yesterday, TMZ asks for a statement and they get one from LeAnn's people. At the time, TMZ made it seem like they spoke with LeAnn directly who said she wasn't drunk and that LeAnn was trying to help 13 year old Carly Rose because she was having trouble with the song. LeAnn then said later yesterday she never gave a statement which is probably true because her spokesperson probably just speaks for her and it is far better to throw a 13 year old under the bus than your client. The problem is that everyone who watched it knows LeAnn got her butt handed to her.
What I think happened is that LeAnn was drunk or on something. She gets up on stage like she has a million times and thinks she can handle it because she is LeAnn Rimes and the kid is 13 and f**k it. Then the 13 year old starts singing great and LeAnn feels 50 years old and threatened and starts singing over the top of the kid and if she could, probably would have thrown her off the stage or at least bumped her or tripped her and then grabbed the camera and told them to follow her while she finished the song by grinding on Eddie's lap.

- Learning sequences of actions : infant experiments and neural network models (2013)
- In our daily life, we carry out lots of tasks like typing, playing tennis, and playing the piano, without even noticing there is sequence learning involved. No matter how simple or complex they are, these tasks require the sequential planning and execution of a series of movements. As an ability of primary importance in one's life, and an ability that everyone manages to learn, action-sequence learning has been studied by researchers from different fields: psychologists, neurophysiologists as well as roboticists. In the concept of sequence learning, perceptual learning and motor learning, implicit and explicit learning have been studied and discussed independently. We are interested in infancy research, because infants, with underdeveloped brain functions and with limited motor ability, have little experience with the world and not yet built internal models as presumption of how to interpret the world. A series of infant experiments in the 1980s provided evidence that infants can rapidly develop anticipatory eye movements for visual events. Even when infants have no control of those spatial-temporal patterns, they can respond actually prior to the onset of the visual event, referred as "Anticipation". In this work, we applied a gaze-contingent paradigm using real-time eye tracking to put 6- and 8-month-old infants in direct control of their visual surroundings. This paradigm allows the infant to change an image on a screen by looking at a peripheral red disc, which functions as a switch. We found that infants quickly learn to perform eye movements to trigger the appearance of new stimuli and that they anticipate the consequences of their actions in an early stage of the experiment. Attention-shift from learning one stimulus to the next novel stimulus is important in sequence learning. In the test phase of infant visual habituation with two objects, we propose a new theory of explaining the familiarity-to-novelty shift. In our opinion an infant's interest in a stimulus is related to its learning progress, the improvement of performance. As a consequence, infants prefer the stimulus which their current learning progress is maximal for, naturally giving rise to a familiarity-to-novelty shift in certain situations. Our network model predicts that the familiarity-to-novelty-shift only emerges for complex stimuli that produce bell-shaped learning curves after brief familiarization, but does not emerge for simple stimuli that produce exponentially decreasing learning curves or for long familiarization time, which is consistent with experimental results. This research suggests the infant's interest in a stimulus may be related to its current learning progress. This can give rise to a dynamic familiarity-to-novelty shift depending on both the infant's learning efficiency and the task complexity. We know that for both infants and adults, the performance on certain motor-sequence tasks can be improved through practice. However, adults usually have to perform complex tasks in complicated environments; for example, learning multiple tasks is unavoidable in our daily life. In existing research, learning multiple tasks showed puzzling and seemingly contradictory results. On the one hand, a wide variety of proactive and retroactive interference effects have been observed when multiple tasks have to be learned. On the other hand, some studies have reported facilitation and transfer of learning between different tasks. In order to find out the interaction between multiple-task learning, and to find an optimal training schedule, we use a recurrent neural network to model a series of experiments on movement sequence learning. The network model learns to carry out the correct movement sequences through training and reproduces differences between training schedules such as blocked training vs. random training in psychophysics experiments. The network model also shows striking similarity to human performance, and makes prediction for tasks similarity and different training schedules. In conclusion, the thesis presents learning sequences of actions in infants and recurrent neural networks. We carried out a gaze-contingent experiment to study infants' rapid anticipation of their own action outcomes, and we also constructed two recurrent neural network models, with one model explaining infant attention shift in visual habituation, and the other model directing to task similarity and training schedule in motor sequence control in adults.
- Spherical harmonics coeffcients for ligand-based virtual screening of cyclooxygenase inhibitors (2011)
- Background: Molecular descriptors are essential for many applications in computational chemistry, such as ligand-based similarity searching. Spherical harmonics have previously been suggested as comprehensive descriptors of molecular structure and properties. We investigate a spherical harmonics descriptor for shape-based virtual screening. Methodology/Principal Findings: We introduce and validate a partially rotation-invariant three-dimensional molecular shape descriptor based on the norm of spherical harmonics expansion coefficients. Using this molecular representation, we parameterize molecular surfaces, i.e., isosurfaces of spatial molecular property distributions. We validate the shape descriptor in a comprehensive retrospective virtual screening experiment. In a prospective study, we virtually screen a large compound library for cyclooxygenase inhibitors, using a self-organizing map as a pre-filter and the shape descriptor for candidate prioritization. Conclusions/Significance: 12 compounds were tested in vitro for direct enzyme inhibition and in a whole blood assay. Active compounds containing a triazole scaffold were identified as direct cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitors. This outcome corroborates the usefulness of spherical harmonics for representation of molecular shape in virtual screening of large compound collections. The combination of pharmacophore and shape-based filtering of screening candidates proved to be a straightforward approach to finding novel bioactive chemotypes with minimal experimental effort.
- Infants in control: Rapid anticipation of action outcomes in a gaze-contingent paradigm (2012)
- Infants' poor motor abilities limit their interaction with their environment and render studying infant cognition notoriously difficult. Exceptions are eye movements, which reach high accuracy early, but generally do not allow manipulation of the physical environment. In this study, real-time eye tracking is used to put 6- and 8-month-old infants in direct control of their visual surroundings to study the fundamental problem of discovery of agency, i.e. the ability to infer that certain sensory events are caused by one's own actions. We demonstrate that infants quickly learn to perform eye movements to trigger the appearance of new stimuli and that they anticipate the consequences of their actions in as few as 3 trials. Our findings show that infants can rapidly discover new ways of controlling their environment. We suggest that gaze-contingent paradigms offer effective new ways for studying many aspects of infant learning and cognition in an interactive fashion and provide new opportunities for behavioral training and treatment in infants.

LOS ANGELES - A routine Superior Court hearing for a German national accused in a 1985 San Marino homicide turned testy Friday when the man who once posed as Clark Rockefeller expressed displeasure that trial in his case will not take place until January.
When asked by Judge Michael Pastor if he waived his right to a speedy trial, defendant Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, 51, said, "If that's what it has to be, then I suppose so your honor."
In 2011, Pastor, 62, a long-cause trial judge, heard testimony in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, convicted of manslaughter in the death of singer Michael Jackson. His courtroom is on the ninth floor of the Clara Foltz Criminal Justice Center, the floor where several high-profile cases have taken place in recent years.
Gerhartsreiter is accused of killing John Sohus in February 1985 and burying Sohus' trisected body. The body was discovered in 1994 by a swimming pool contractor doing work at a house in the 1900 block of Lorain Road in San Marino.
Sohus' mother owned the home and the suspect, known in 1985 as Christopher Chichester, rented a back house on the property.
Sohus' wife, Linda, disappeared in 1985. She hasn't been heard from since.
Gerhartsreiter was arrested in August 2008 on suspicion of kidnapping his daughter. At the time, he was posing as Clark Rockefeller.
Sensing Gerhartsreiter's agitation at a further delay in the proceedings, Pastor asked his attorney Danielle Manard to discuss the issue with Gerhartsreiter off the record.
During the course of a two-minute conversation on the issue, Gerhartsreiter, who has seldom spoken in court since returning to Los Angeles County in 2011, became animated.
"Sooner," he told Manard.
As Manard explained the difficulties of holding trial before January, Gerhartsreiter widened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, swept his head back then finally shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "Eight months is unprecedented. It just sounds like a long, long time."
Manard and prosecutor Habib Balian then held a second off-the-record conversation. Manard returned to her client's side of the table. Words were exchanged, then Gerhartsreiter said, "Oh, all right. That's OK. All right."
Prior to Gerhartsreiter's expression of reluctance, Pastor told both sides it is unusual to set a trial date so far into the future. He ordered attorneys to return to court on June 25.
Getting Pastor up to speed on the matter, Balian outlined the case.
"This matter is an old homicide from 1985. It occurred in 1985, but was not discovered until 1994," Balian said. About the same time as the homicide occurred, "the alleged defendant" moved to the east coast and "assumed different names."
Describing his case as circumstantial, Balian said that "due to the passage of time, the death of relevant parties" it is likely prosecutors will ask Pastor to waive several hearsay rules.
Pastor ordered attorneys from both sides to stay in touch with each other; he warned Manard, who lives in Boston, that his Los Angeles courtroom "opens promptly at 8:30 a.m."
"I would hope that we don't have surprises on a daily basis," he said.
The hearing wound up with a review of correspondence in the case. Prosecutors revealed they have served a subpoena on the NBC/Univision television network for information that came from a taping of "Dateline."
Pastor asked attorneys if either had objections to video or still photography during the course of pretrial hearings. Both sides said no.

Sea Lion Shooting Mystery
California wildlife experts and cops say someone has been shooting sea lions whose corpses are washing up along the Malibu coast.
"I have no idea why people would shoot a sea lion," Jonsie Ross of the California Wildlife Center told ABC News.
Since August, four sea lions have washed up along the Malibu coast. The most recent were on Oct. 10 and 11.
Mike Remski, marine mammal rehabilitation manager at the California Wildlife Center acknowledges the higher number of incidences in recent weeks.
"The past couple of weeks, there have been more than usual animals stranding on the beaches. We are getting a greater number with bullet holes in them," Remski said. "For the ones that wash-up dead, necropsies are done and we try to retrieve the bullets to find a cause of death. If they're alive, they're sent immediately to the rehabilitation center [Marine Mammal Care Center (MMCC)] in San Pedro."
Not only is shooting these animals inhumane, it's also illegal.

Herman Kossmann and Mark de Jong have put together a comprehensive, 480-page guide to their work as exhibition architects, illustrating the design principles of their firm, Kossmann.dejong, with oversize full-color photos by Thijs Wolzak and diagrams that explain their ambitions. Engaging Spaces highlights 30 out of the 90 exhibitions that the firm produced between its founding in 1998 and 2010, bookended with commentary by Suzanne Mulder as an introduction and a full chapter of exhibition plans at the end. These exhibitions range beyond the confines of museum walls, from temporary hotel interiors to floating villages (for the Expo 2000 in Hanover). One stand-out is an semi-permanent exhibition for the Dutch Museum of Psychiatry, within which visitors must actively search for stories by opening cupboards as they follow a non-linear path through a space made up of objects from four nearby wards, allowing them to question the idea of normalcy as they meander through the halls. In the book's forward, the authors state, "We conceive of exhibitions as 'narrative environments': ones in which the designer's task is to translate stories and academic objectives that are often complex into a thought-provoking, spatial narrative." Their practice's focus on creating immersive environments in lieu of banal white-box displays is evident in their recent work for the Urbanian Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo (see video below), where they created spaces out of thousands of everyday objects, from filing cabinet drawers to milk cartons. • €34.95 ($43); Frame Publishers, 2010

Carmen - from Kingsport, TN
It is best not to refrigerate a cake before decorating it. As the cake comes to room temperature, there's a greater chance that the icing will fall off the cake when moisture builds up due to condensation as the decorated cake comes to room temperature. If you are having problems with crumbs pulling off the cake, I suggest allowing the cake to sit uncovered at room temperature for an hour or so. This will allow the crust to firm up. Then, brush away excess crumbs and add a thin crumb coat of icing. Allow the icing to crust. Finally, decorate your cake as usual.

Nice and slim and overall satisfied
By Spiffy4JC
from South FL
Hi. I use the product for eliminating junk mail from charities and banks, including my own bank statements as well as solicitations for products I don't currently have/use. It does a quick job at shredding down the papers and envelopes. A couple things worth pointing out. While it is slim, that comes at a slight cost for the motor's power and it is a true 6 page shredder. Sometimes I will do just a few pages together at a time just to not bog it down much. Also, with the wastebasket following the same slim lines, it does require emptying sooner than some larger capacity bins. It does not shred credit cards, cds, etc. as it is just for paper items. Of course it doesn't claim to shred those, just an FYI. If it does become jammed, the reverse function is handy, though since the bin slides out of the sides and the unit is permanently built-in to the "stand," you can not turn the unit upside-down to try and clear a jam. Also, the unit will not turn on without the wastebasket slid all the way in- thus keeping it from functioning without the basket and shreds going all over the floor. This is a nice addition that, except for maybe trying to clear a jam from underneath the shredder with the basket removed, is a welcome and unexpected feature. Overall I am satisfied and would recommend to a friend for light-duty shredding. I love the Hammacher Schlemmer guarantee, too. Happy Shredding! :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Everyday Mail
By RpH
from North Carolina
This shredder works great for everyday mail sorting. It is a great size for keeping under the desk. It shreds about 20 sheets before container needs to be emptied - emptying regularly is important because the paper needs to be able to drop down into container to prevent jamming.
Limited capacity and frequent jams
By Petey
from Monroeville, AL
This is not the quality product I have come to expect from Hammacher-Schlemmer. Even though the design allows this unit to fit in a small space, the capacity is also very limited. The most I have been able to shred at once is 3 sheets of unfolded paper, half the advertised capacity. I have to empty the bin after shredding approximately 15 sheets. There is no switch to shut off the unit when the bin fills, so the shredded paper spills over the side and also backs up into the shredding unit, causing frequent jams. When reversed, the jam is exacerbated by jamming in the teeth. And without any clear way the disassemble the unit, I have to spend an hour or more using a very small needle nose pliers to pick each individual piece of paper out of the shredder. Overall, I would not recommend this shredder to anyone.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comment. As indicated, the shredder does feed up to six, 20lb sheets of paper one pass.

By vickie
from lambertville, michigan
Good thing our old shredder died so my husband can have a new one. Fathers Day is just a reason to get one now instead of later. Loved the slim line of shredder & easy to remove & empty bin with shreddings not falling all over. And it has little wheels so it doesn't scratch the floors when pulling out from under computer desk. Great!

Sinead O'Connor pens fifth letter to Miley Cyrus
Listen to Sinead O'Connor on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Sinead O'Connor isn't letting Miley Cyrus off the hook so fast.
On Monday, she posted her fifth open letter to the 20-year-old, demanding an apology for her tweets, which seemed to poke fun at Sinead's mental health issues several years ago.
Miley addressed the ongoing back-and-forth during her appearance on the "Today" show last week, telling Matt Lauer that she's a "big fan" of Sinead's and that "it's all good."
Apparently, that wasn't enough to squash the beef. In her new letter, Sinead urges Miley to publicly apologize for her tweets, which she writes "contributes to the silences with allow suicide to flourish."
Sinead adds that "people die every day because of the type of thing you did" and that apologizing "will save lives."

Tracy Wells has been leading big band era orchestras for more than 50 years. The Long Beach resident will bring his Tracy Wells Orchestra to the Long Beach Airport Marriott on New Year's Eve.
Q: I played in rock bands in the '70s, '80s and '90s, but now I feel old when I play that music, so you must feel ancient playing big band music!
A: I won't tell you how old I am, but leading the band and playing vibraphone and trumpet in the band doesn't make me feel old. It never gets out of your blood. You always want to stay in it.
Q: Rock bands always practice in the drummer's parents' garage. Where does your band rehearse?
A: To be honest, we don't rehearse. The musicians are so good you can throw a new arrangement at them and - bang! - they get it on the first try. I have people in the band who have played with Henry Mancini, Tex Beneke, Buddy Rich, Les Brown, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ted Heath, Woody Herman, Harry James. They're incredibly talented musicians. I can't remember the last time I played at a rehearsal.
Q: Do you listen to big band music around the house?
A: Yes, we listen to it. But the best part of big band is seeing the orchestras in person. When I was young, big band orchestras were everywhere. They were the norm. Any town you were in you could go see a big band orchestra, with the gleaming brass and the pounding drums, the rhythm section driving so hard. But in the 1950s the big bands started to die out and they turned into smaller combos and that evolved into rock 'n' roll.
Q: And the more modern style of jazz. One of the things about big band was the songs were nice and short, unlike more modern jazz where they can go for hours if you let them.
A: In the big band era, the recordings were expensive and the songs had to be three minutes or less. Later, you could go to four or five minutes, but that was the exception. When we play now, we do about 11 songs per hour, or 35 to 40 during the course of the evening.
Q: Who's your favorite trumpet player?
A: That's too hard to answer. As a trumpeter, I enjoy just playing in the trumpet section, hitting the harmonics and playing as a section more than playing lead. I guess the easy answer would be Harry James. But there are so many great ones. Louis Armstrong, obviously, and Roy Eldridge from Gene Krupa's band. I never focus on the soloists as much as the sound of the band. Gene Krupa's was a great band, and Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, Stan Kenton.
Q: Did you grow up in Long Beach?
A: I was born in Illinois and I attended the Naval Academy and the University of Missouri. I led big bands at both schools. When I graduated, my family moved to California and my dad wanted me to move out with them. I wasn't that happy about it because I had a promising gig coming up in St. Louis, but I came out, anyway and I'm glad I did, because I've been here ever since. I met my wife Carmen in Manhattan Beach and we bought a house on the GI Bill in Seal Beach, which was great, but then we had a couple of sons and they were a little rambunctious for a small house, so we bought a home in El Dorado Park Estates.
Q: Do your sons play music?
A: Our son Tracy plays piano and guitar in a rock band, and our younger son Scott plays vibes and percussion. He's more attuned to what I do. He was very involved in the jazz band at Millikan.
Q: How 'bout your wife?
A: My wife is a great appreciator of music, but she doesn't play. She used to sing to our little boys. She was great at that when they were growing up.
Q: What will your band be playing on New Year's Eve at the Marriott?
A: Well, "Auld Lang Syne," for sure. Otherwise, it'll be a mix of things the people will recognize: "In the Mood," "Moonlight Serenade," which was Glenn Miller's theme song, "One O'Clock Jump," "I'm in the Mood for Love."
Q: What's the age of your audience nowadays?
A: We get about 75 percent older people and maybe 20-25 percent younger to middle.
Q: What do you mean by "middle?"
Q: Do you think big band music will last as the fans from the big band era, shall we say, stop listening?
A: I don't know. Most of the famous big band leaders from that generation are gone now. There are just some remnants left carrying it on, and I guess I'm one of them.

Events for November 22, 2013
Zimbabwe & South Africa Cultural Immersion Learning Project
November 22, 2013
Description: The 2013 trip to Zimbabwe and South Africa will be the first of the Justice & Peace Program's new cultural immersion learning projects. The main purpose of these projects will be to extend cross-cultural understanding and allyship by developing partnerships with communities both local and global. Print trip flyer & application.
Trip details
- The trip will occur November 15-29, 2013. The cost will be $4100 for current Iliff students, and $5000 for all other non-students. Students may register to receive 2 credit hours for their participation.
- An initial deposit will be due by April 1, 2013. Remaining payments will be collected in designated installments (see page 2 for details). We continue to explore ways to subsidize trip costs, with current students as our main funding priority. If you would like to financially support a participant, please let us know.
- Our itinerary will include a wide variety of activities: dialogue with local citizens, seminars with justice-related
organizations, church community visits, service work, in-country travel, group reflection, sightseeing, etc.
- In the months prior to leaving, the group will be required to complete some modest reading and assemble for a few mandatory meetings. We want participants to be as prepared as possible for what they will experience individually and communally, without being overwhelmed by busy work. We expect the trip to be a wonderful and life-changing experience for all involved. However, it will not represent a "tourist" or "mission" trip in any traditional sense. Applicants are encouraged to ensure their passports are in order, consider any special accommodations they will require, and reflect on their ability to commit to a demanding journey.
How to apply
Students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends of Iliff are invited to submit an application, although space will be limited. Participants will be selected based on several criteria, including quality of application, rationale for participating, preparedness to complete the journey, potential for contribution to the group, and relationship to Iliff.
- Name, age, affiliation to Iliff (current student, alumnus, friend, etc.), current occupation or program of study.
- Describe why you want to participate in this trip. What motivates you to apply?
- The trip will pose many physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual challenges. Explain your ability and willingness to commit to these challenges, noting how you will prepare for any particular difficulties.
- Group dynamics will be vitally important to the experience. What qualities might you contribute, or roles might you play, in the creation of a strong and supportive community of fellow travelers?
- What do you hope to gain from this experience? What specific goals, fears, and questions do you have? Is there anything else you would like us to know?
Important notes
Fit to Travel: Travel to Zimbabwe and South Africa is demanding. Your commitment to undertake this trip means that you are in good health and physically able to travel. Please keep in mind that access and accessibility is extremely limited in most facilities in both countries. If you are physically challenged or challenged in some other way please plan accordingly.
Accommodation: In order to minimize costs all accommodation will be shared. Although we cannot guarantee it, we will make every attempt to make sure that you are paired with a roommate of your choice where this is possible. If you desire either a single or a double room let us know immediately. You are responsible for any single or double room charges.
Price: Although we will try to keep all costs at a minimum please keep in mind currency fluctuations overseas may necessitate increase in the price of the trip. So the sooner you pay your deposit and trip fees the better, as this will enable us to lock in the price of airfare, accommodation, and ground transportation. It is therefore critical for you to meet all payment deadlines.
Deposit and Payments: All participants must make an initial deposit by April 1, 2013 to secure their spot. The schedule for collecting deposits and remaining payment installments will be arranged as follows:
- For current Iliff students: $1500 by April 1; $1500 by June 3; $1100 by August 1. Total = $4100.
- For all other non-students: $2000 by April 1; $2000 by June 3; $1000 by August 1. Total = $5000.
Cancellation Fees: Should a participant need to withdraw from the trip, payments will be refunded on a sliding scale until airline tickets have been purchased. Once airline tickets have been purchased they cannot be changed and there will be no refunds. There will be a 20% administrative fee levied on all cancellations prior to purchase of airline tickets.
Included: Roundtrip airfare to Zimbabwe and South Africa, ground transportation, accommodation (bed and breakfast), some sightseeing, most lunches and dinners, and all program fees.
Not included: Beverages at meals, unscheduled sightseeing, concerts, nightlife or other unscheduled cultural events, internet/wi-fi, telephone fees, tips, and other airline expenses beyond airfare (such as baggage fees, departures taxes and visa costs).
Students: Both residential and Journey program students are encouraged to apply. We are committed to coordinating reasonable accommodations for Journey students to participate in pre-trip meetings and preparations. Students who wish to receive credit hours for their participation may communicate with the Registrar about details and extra charges.
[The above information may change subject to fluctuations in the circumstances in Zimbabwe and South Africa.]
Dates: November 15-29, 2013
Location: Zimbabwe and South Africa via Denver International Airport

As we leave 2011 behind and inch closer to 2012, let's take a look at economic outlooks from a variety of sources.
Housing shortage on the way
With annual growth in consumer spending averaging 0.2% the past three and a half years, Thomas Freeman, senior vice president at UBS Financial Services, says this economy is in "the most anemic consumer recovery in history."
"With jobs growth comes consumer confidence," Freeman says. But why has there been no jobs growth since the recession officially ended in 2009? Uncertainty is impeding hiring. Freeman blames the new national health care law, the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, regulations by the U.S. EPA, rulings by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board, and unknown future tax rates.
To break the "cycle of uncertainty," Freeman suggests giving consumers a permanent increase in income by lowering taxes and increasing employment by giving businesses incentives to expand. "The biggest problem is the consumer. We have to get the consumer spending again."
Forty percent of the economy relies on housing and there is excess inventory of 2 million homes in the U.S. today. But because 2 million new households are added annually, Freeman says that in a couple of years we will have a housing shortage. "That's great news for the housing industry,"
"While there is gloom, there is no doom," he says. The United States still produces more than the next three largest economies (Japan, China, and Germany) combined. U.S. gross domestic product is 10 times larger than China's and 50 times that of India.
The United States also has one of the youngest populations of the developing countries. "The growing population offers the hope of expanding markets, new workers, and entrepreneurial innovations," says Freeman.
PCA scales back forecast
In his recently issued Fall 2011 Forecast, Ed Sullivan, vice president and chief economist with the Portland Cement Association (PCA), says the association has reduced its projections for near-term economic growth and job creation.
"Despite economic growth, the residential sector will continue to be plagued by a large volume of foreclosures, tight lending standards, and weak new home prices," explains Sullivan, who forecasts single-family housing starts of 443,000 in 2012, increasing to 1.2 million in 2016. "A significant residential recovery is not expected until 2014."
Home builders are waiting for two developments: Unsold home inventory falling to five months or less, and stable or rising home prices. "Lacking either condition, a substantive recovery in home building will not materialize."
"Without a significant improvement in expected return on investment, commercial construction activity will remain depressed," Sullivan said. "Potential investors in commercial buildings are likely to wait until occupancy and leasing rates improve and asset prices appreciate. Nonresidential recovery will remain prolonged, with substantive cement volume gains materializing in 2013."
Highway spending in 2012 could fall by double digits. So far, 83% of 2009 stimulus money has been spent. An extension of the highway bill at constant nominal levels suggests fewer real dollar spending after inflation. "Slower job creation implies a prolonged period of state governments' duress," he said.
We will feel a lot better
Kermit Baker, chief economist at the American Institute of Architects; and Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, spoke at Hanley Wood's Foundations conference in Chicago earlier this fall.
"Economic growth has stalled, with growing concern that the debt problems in Europe will create problems in the United States," said Baker. In the United States, employment remains weak and housing has still not recovered. Having undertaken a $900 billion stimulus program and with interest rates near zero, "further fiscal and monetary policy seems limited."
"Commercial property values fell further than house prices, but unlike housing, recovery in values seems under way," Baker said.
"It's going to take the broader economy to generate growth before we see it in the construction industry," said Baker, who forecasts a "modest" recovery in nonresidential construction in 2012.
"The economy is struggling to avoid recession," said Zandi, who pegged the chances of the United States slipping into another recession at 40%. While U.S. employers were adding about 200,000 jobs per month early in 2011, hiring has slowed as the year progressed. Higher gasoline prices and the earthquake and tsunami in Japan have created uncertainty.
But Zandi sees a promising future quicker than most commentators. Bussiness' balance sheets and profits are strong, household debt has been reduced by 10% the past three years, and the banking industry is capitalized and profitable.
"The key source of recovery for our economy will be the construction industry," Zandi said. Housing is back to being fairly valued or even undervalued. "I'm quite confident that at this time next year and when we get to 2013, we will feel a lot better."
Zandi forecasts housing starts to total 725,000 in 2012, 1.25 million in 2013, and 1.75 million in 2014.

description: November 17, 2009—Uncovering another link between chimpanzees and humans, a new study found chimps gesture mainly with their right hands. This indicates the chimp brain's left side is used in communication, as in people.

title: Right-Handed Chimps Provide Clues

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
A new study shows chimpanzees seem to use the left half of their brain when communicating with other chimps, just like humans use the left side of the brain for most language skills.
The findings suggest another link between humans and one of the species most closely related to us.
This video of chimpanzees in the wild is from the National Geographic archives.
The study was conducted with captive chimps at Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta. The findings are published in the January issue of the research journal, Cortex.
The scientists studied hand-use in 70 captive chimpanzees over 10 months. They recorded a variety of communicative gestures specific to chimpanzees produced in different social contexts.
Study supervisor William Hopkins of Agnes Scott College, says they found a predominance of the right hand for gestures, indicating use of the left side of the brain.
Researchers also believe that the finding gives additional support to the idea that speech evolved from gestures in our ancestors. They say the gestures in apes share key features with human language, including intentionality, referential properties and flexibility of learning and use.

Post subject: October Cache of the Month submissions
Hi all,
In response to several requests by members of this forum we are going to start a new monthly section on the main page of mngca.org -- Cache of the Month. This will be a monthly column honoring a geocache chosen by members of this forum. Here's how it will work:
**Nominations will be accepted for the October cache of the Month between now and September 18th or when 10 caches have been nominated, whichever comes first. These nominations must be emailed to me by midnight September 18th.
**Nominations need to be written as cache of the month articles and give the reader a spoiler-free description of what makes the cache special. Photos can be submitted with nominations.
**Sometime on the 19th I will post the nominations in a new thread as a poll so that everyone can vote for their choice.
**Like all polls on this forum only registered forum members can vote and we only get one vote each.
**Voting will end on midnight September 23rd and the article will be posted as the October cache of the Month on the front page of mngca.org.
**Members-only caches can be nominated, but do so at your own risk -- non-members of geocaching.com may not vote for a cache that they will never visit.
**Nominated caches must be available for visiting at the time of nomination. Nominations for caches "temporarily unavailable" or archived caches will be rejected.
**You can not nominate your own cache.
**You can only nominate 1 cache per month
**You can not nominate a cache which was in the running (up for voting in the poll) in the previous month. (Let's give everyone a chance!) Two months later the same cache can be re-nominated by the original nominator or anyone else.
**Only caches in the state of Minnesota are eligble for nomination.
**The MnGCA board and the site webmasters reserve the right to reject nominations based on content. We also reserve the right to alter the text of the nomination for spelling, grammar and punctuation.
**Duplicate nominations will be combined into one nomination with both submitter's articles included.
--Why the short turnaround this month? I've taken too long to write this up and I'm going on vacation in late September --sorry. We will have more time in the months to come.
--Why the name change from "Featured Cache"? The webmasters and board may want to continue "Featuring" geocaches in addition to the "Cache of the Month". I'm pretty sure the Featured cache will no longer be monthly.
--Why only 10 nominations per month? This keeps the numbers manageable and only up to 9 people will be disappointed after taking the time to write an article. Don't worry, you can get your nomination in the next month.
--Why does the article need to be written before submission? So that we know it will be written on time (and I know how tough that can be!) and so that the board and webmasters can reject submissions of non family-friendly content.
Consider this a trial run and we will see how it goes. Hopefully this can be fun!
Let me know what you think. I wrote this in one sitting and I'm sure the rules will need tweaking.

So I have been a php programmer for some years now and i do not understand why we are collectively using Composer when there is already tools that can do the exact same thing such as github/GIT. Your thoughts?
Isn't [Composer a Dependency Management system? [URL="https://learnable.com/books/git-fundamentals"]Git](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) is Source Control; something very much different.
Regardless, there is an advantage to having many tools from which to choose. We all have preferences and different workflows.Is there something, in particular, about Composer that you don't like?
I got reemed a new one for not publishing my PHPErrorNet package to composer amoung other things when gettings some reviews on it, even though I have it on github. To jgetners point, pretty much the entire functionality of composer is on github and more. Dependancies can be handled in git with sub repositories, which I prefer over composer anyday. When installing, you would then just use --recursive option to pull in your dependancies as well. Composer does have some tools for "minimum version" handling and things llike that. IMO, its nice, but we don't need it as long as we are using something such as git. I find it amusing that the PHP community has clung on to composer so hard in comparison to git, which most other developers in other languages use as the norm. More amusing that in the description of what composer's purpose is "PHP developers have the tendancy to re invent the weel, so we created this" blah, blah. They re-invented git / svn.
k.wolfe pretty much summed that up.
But it also seems the php community is torn in half and on one side we have the "open source" community that writes some really great software/code but force things upon you like composer. It's used in many of the popular frameworks where you have to clone the framework then you have to also do some composer calls?
This is a bit redundant and just really not necessary so why is the open source community forcing this one when the professional community is rejecting it?.
I did state that composer has a feature for minimum version checking, whcih git or svn doesn't really handle. There may be other featues that git doesn't have that I am mot aware of as well.
If that is to go by then why use Git at all? Why not just stick to Subversion? Or even then, why Subversion either? Everyone should've stuck with CVS, it was doing the job pretty much.
Composer is not a source control management system; Git, Subversion, etc. are. Sure you can use Git or SVN for rudimentary stuff that Composer does but thats like driving an airplane to supermarket to get groceries, sure you can drive it on road but why the heck would you do it? Even when you make your package available to Composer, you create a manifest file in which you put in the source URL. Packagist just hosts a manifest file for packages with version and dependency info etc in it. So you would still be putting up your code on Github or wherever you host your public code and referencing that URL in your package manifest. Composer will grab the source from that URL when anyone installs your package using it.
Git, SVN etc are for keeping track of versions of your code, not for dependency management. One cool thing about Composer is that you can share a JSON file (composer.json) with anyone which includes what packages need to be installed. The person you share it with just needs to run "composer install" in the dir in which that JSON file is and all the stuff gets installed along with any dependencies. No need for Git or SVN etc to be present on that machine.
Can't speak to that one since I don't have experience with svn or cvs.
What does composer do differently than a git clone x --recursive with submodules? No need for composer to be present on that machine. I know of one feature that composer has and that is minimum version checking, but then I can pick up a feature using git and that is the ability to add a submodule to a specific version if you wanted to.
I have thats why I said that they both did their job well. Subversion came because CVS had some shortcomings, so SVN was more like re-imagining how to accomplish a task rather than re-inventing the wheel. Then SVN had its shortcomings as well, enter Git & Mercurial, a re-imagination on how to do the job in a better way.
But comparing Composer with Git & its ilk is like comparing apples to oranges, both were made to accomplish different goals.
Seems like you didn't read my last post. Git or SVN etc are things you need to install to be able to use them, Composer is just a PHP Archive (a PHAR file just like Java archive is a JAR file) containing a bunch of PHP scripts. No need to install anything.
Lets consider an example. Say we need to install some packages in our app - A, B, C & D.
Lets do it your way (using Git for what its not):
Now lets do it Composer way:
If this doesn't show the difference between Composer & using Git as something it is not then I don't know what will.
This discussion is now just going to get out of context & off topic, arguments for arguments sake, something I definitely don't have any intention to indulge in. So, each to his/her own.
Your viewing steps for git as a developer and composer as a client. Those steps in git still exist in composer as a developer. You are relying on previous authors to supply what their projects dependencies are. In the end, as the client, both still can come down to a one line clone of the project (that also pulls dependencies)
For people interested: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule
One downside that can be argued here is that a dependency will then be stored within the directory of the project being worked on, making it inconvenient to be used with other projects. Example excluding commits and pushes:
Package B depends on package A. Project C is a separate package from B, but also depends on A. Project D depends on B and C (in turn also A)
Package B
git submodule add /public/path/to/A lib/A
Package C
Project D
git submodule add /public/path/to/C lib/C
git submodule add /public/path/to/B lib/B
Project D would then have a structure as follows:
git clone /path/to/D --recursive
Package A is now duplicated. Does anyone know if composer handles this? If so what does that do for developers trying to do an include on these dependencies?
It does.
I imagine it would prevent loading conflicts. If manually loading, and both packages B and C try to require their own copy of A, then you'll get class already defined errors. Or if autoloading, then the two copies of A may both be registered. It gets even more complicated if packages B and C require slightly different versions of A. Maybe B uses A v2.1 and C uses A v2.2. This can result in a hard to find bug in your project D. Composer, on the other hand, will resolve common dependencies, and it will throw an informative error if there are conflicts.
Certainly Git submodules work just fine in a lot of cases. But Composer works better.
Some other nice nuggets: With Composer, the third-party library isn't required to be a git repo. It could be SVN, or a ZIP, or a PEAR package, among others. It will also generate the autoload file for you, taking into account that each third-party package might autoload in a different way.
Why have you come to this conclusion? Don't forget that sub modules of specific commits can be added, ensuring proper version is used.
Now that sounds useful.
But what if...
Certainly both B and C can ensure their submodule points to the proper version for their library, but at runtime, only one of those two copies of A can be loaded.
Point well taken. From the sounds of it, Composer will throw an error on clone?
Indeed it will. Before it even starts downloading or cloning any repositories, it will throw an error saying something along the lines of "dependencies cannot be resolved into an installable package." As opposed to git submodules, where this sort of problem will manifest itself at runtime in the form of some obscure bug.
Plus, even in more straightforward cases, where library A depends on library B, which depends on C, which depends on D, etc., submodules would yield a directory structure like this:
The more complex the dependency tree becomes, the less useful submodules are.
That was certainly unfortunate. Composer is quite capable of loading packages directly from github without requiring any publishing. A simple composer.json file is all you would need to add. Something like:
"name": "cerad/cerad",
"type": "symfony-bundles",
"description": "Cerad Libraries",
"keywords": ["security"],
"homepage": "https://github.com/cerad/cerad2.git",

And even that could be simplified.

Massaranduba Wood tiles, Bison Innovative Products
For its LEED Platinum–rated office in Atlanta, Perkins+Will deconstructed and cataloged everything in the former 1980s office building from wood paneling to carpets, distributing 125,000 pounds of materials to nonprofits. The firm did repurpose some items, such as cherry baseboards that became conference tables. For Paula Burns McEvoy, AIA, co-director of sustainable design, one commercially available product stood out as her favorite: Massaranduba, an FSC-certified wood tile made with pre-consumer manufacturing remnants that installs like carpet tile. "You lay them on top of a raised flooring system," she says. "You don't have to go [through] the waste of using big pieces of lumber." The tiles, which look like teak, are successfully enduring the office's heavy traffic.
Pozzotive Concrete Masonry Units, Kingston Block & Masonry Supply
For the 2012 Hegeman supportive housing project in Brooklyn, N.Y., Cookfox Architects upped its practice of specifying concrete with high-recycled content by using Pozzotive, a concrete block manufactured with recycled glass. Cookfox partner Rick Cook, FAIA, says that Kingston had contacted fellow partner and firm co-founder Robert Fox Jr., AIA, about making green concrete block. "Bob said, 'You need to find somebody else's waste.' " As it happened, the city has an abundance of waste glass, prompting Kingston to create Pozzotive. The glass, which is ground into a powder, comprises about 30 percent of the CMUs. The Hegeman residence uses Pozzotive in its structural system, courtyard, and green roof, and as a permeable paver—the first project to do so.
Cypress Sinker Logs, Krantz Recovered Woods
Set for completion in 2014, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Brock Environmental Center in Virginia Beach, Va., will feature wood siding made from sinker cypress logs sourced through Krantz Recovered Woods. Because the old-growth logs have been sitting at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico for 150 years, they have a high concentration of cypressene, a natural chemical resin that resists rot but takes several decades to form. Cypress wood found on the market today lacks cypressene, says Greg Mella, AIA, co-leader of sustainable design initiatives at SmithGroupJJR. The sinker logs have "the patina of aged hardwood." Locating them required thorough research and work. "Being connected to the local demolition industry makes a difference," Mella says.
Varia Ecoresin panels, 3Form
The Land's End Lookout in San Francisco's Golden Gate National Recreation Area has reclaimed materials in the visitors center, café, and gift shop. "The building is designed to be a storyteller," EHDD associate Phoebe Schenker, AIA, says. "[T]hese materials … have their own story." For decorative screens in the café, EHDD turned to 3Form's Varia Ecoresin panels—specifically, Color Weave in translucent blue. The project uses two panels refurbished from other 3Form projects. Varia Ecoresin panels are Greenguard certified for indoor air quality and 40 times stronger than glass. The visitors center also uses redwood planks, salvaged by North Cal Lumber from a decommissioned sawmill, and mulch from oyster shells found on the site, which formerly housed a seafood restaurant.

This year marks the 130th anniversary of recorded sound – It was 1877 when Thomas Edison patented his cylinder phonograph. Initially marketed as a businessman's Dictaphone or an educational device, it failed commercially – at first.
Twelve years later, San Francisco entrepreneur Louis Glass rolled out the Nickel In The Slot, which was history's first coin-operated music playback machine and a simple adaptation of the Edison phonograph.
During its five months on location in Frisco's Palais Royale saloon, the first Nickel In The Slot machine averaged $128 per week – equivalent to $2,700 weekly in today's currency. This primitive jukebox not only brought music to millions worldwide – it also triggered the creation of the music recording industry and the birth of companies like RCA, while making global superstars out of musicians such as John Philip Sousa and Enrico Caruso.
Where is such excitement in the world of hi-tech entertainment today? The nearest thing to it in our time is the iPod, created six years ago by Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.).
Last month, CEO Steve Jobs unveiled his much-anticipated, touchscreen-activated iPhone, a combination cellphone and iPod. It goes on sale next June for $500 to $600 per unit. Despite its steep price and various other issues (such as the fact that Cisco owns the trademark of the term "iPhone"), the consumer press swooned over iPhone and Jobs as it has done over few products and executives in the annals of American business.
What does all this mean for today's amusements industry? During the week of iPhone's rollout, I had dinner with a few music and game veterans who were in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. One vet said: "The industry badly needs a galvanizing personality like Steve Jobs – a man with a vision and a product that can spark that revival we've all been looking for since the mid-1990s."
If that's true, what can we learn from the success of Charlie Glass a century ago, and Steve Jobs today? First, note that Nickel In the Slot and iPhone both integrated key, existing technology from outside sources. Glass and Jobs saw the wisdom in pyramiding proven technologies, rather than trying to rely 100% (or even 50%) on proprietary technology.
Second, Glass and Jobs created a popular medium (not content) for their respective playback devices. Glass didn't found any record companies, and so far, Jobs has not founded any music labels (although he has created an animation movie studio).
Third, both men leapfrogged ahead of the rest of their industries with creative new applications that emphasized plain, old-fashioned fun. Charles Glass walked away from the dull, respectable use of the Edison Dictaphone as a businessman's voice recorder. He put the technology in front of the public, with a flourish, as a shameless entertainment novelty. You might say he was the original good-time Charlie.
In a similar vein, when Jobs returned to Apple a few years ago, he reportedly screamed at executives that what was missing from their products was not technology, but "sex," by which he meant razzle-dazzle entertainment value. This factor alone is what chiefly catapulted Apple ahead of all its competitors. It is why, despite the lack of a single pioneering technology in iPhone, Jobs accurately announced at the product's debut: "This is five years ahead of any other phone."
These points hardly add up to a magic formula for industry revival. But looking beyond the gloom of the trade's half-forgotten history, and penetrating past the hype of 2007's next big thing, it's worth recalling that certain principles remain powerful from one century to the next.
When the next boom arrives for the amusements industry, what do you want to bet that it will rest on these three pillars? It will pyramid existing technologies. It will focus more on presenting a dazzling experience and less on generating extensive brand-new content. And it will emphasize fun – not technology – first, last and always.

Get ready for some down-home comfort with our freshly baked homemade sweets.
When you talk about classic dessert recipes, if you say that something is old-fashioned, Southerners believe you might as well say that it is tried-and-true or that it just tastes good. These pies and cobblers may be old-fashioned, but here that means that they are made with classic dessert recipes. Sometimes, we even kick it up a notch, like with the Grilled Peach Cobbler, with a delicious, smoky flavor. Few desserts could be more old-fashioned than the Classic Southern Buttermilk Pie, with the richness of buttermilk and the freshness of lemon zest. They may be called old-fashioned, but they taste like you will want to eat them each and every day.

Harper called up to Majors by Nats
Top offensive prospect to make debut Saturday at Dodgers
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | April 27, 2012 2:39 PM ET
Harper, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 Draft, was hitting .250 with one homer and three RBIs in 20 games at Triple-A Syracuse.
"We thought that we needed to bring in an impactful left-handed bat," Nats general manager Mike Rizzo said. "He's swinging the bat extremely well right now and looks comfortable in left field."
Harper, 19, is expected to play Saturday when the Nationals will run another No. 1 overall pick on to the field in Stephen Strasburg. Chad Billingsley is expected to start for Los Angeles.
The move came after the Nationals placed third baseman Ryan Zimmerman on the 15-day Disabled List with a right shoulder injury.
"It was a team decision to help support the Major League club in a time we felt we needed the offensive support," Rizzo said on MLB Network.
Harper's numbers this season aren't overly impressive, but his bat has gotten hot in the last week or so -- in his last 10 games, Harper was hitting .290/.421/.419 with a double April 16 and a solo homer, his first at Triple-A, on April 22.
"He's had [72] at bats in Triple-A, but in his last six he's hitting .313, and in his last 10, he's hitting .290, so he's swinging the bat extremely well," Rizzo said on MLB Network. "His stroke is very good, he's running the bases well. He's an athletic, energetic player with big pop. We felt the last six games he's been hot and centering the ball.
"We feel this guy will help us and play a good sound left field and give us a little thunder in the lineup," he added.
Much of Harper's struggles this season have come against left-handed pitching, where he's batting .190 in 21 at-bats. Overall, he's 9-for-31 with seven walks in his last 10 games dating back to April 16.
Rizzo said calling up Harper due to injuries "wasn't the coming-out party for Bryce we had in mind. This isn't the optimal situation developmentally."
Harper, ranked by MLB.com as the No. 2 prospect in baseball behind the Rays' Matt Moore, signed a $9.9 million contract in August 2010 and has been one of the biggest stories in the Minors ever since. His path through the Minors and his eventual debut has been debated by fans and the media constantly, although many were surprised the Nationals pulled the trigger before May.
"Have to say it came earlier than I thought," MLB.com prospects expert Jonathan Mayo Tweeted following the news, "but here comes Bryce."
Rizzo admitted the callup on April 27 wasn't in the original plans.
"We had the developmental plan in place for Bryce, and we still believe in the plan, but we had to deviate from the plan a little but because of the circumstances," he said.
Rizzo said the Nationals are confident the 19-year-old will mesh well with a team that currently is 14-5 and owns the best record in the National League.
"This is a kid who has always played above his peer group, always played with older players, and we feel he has the confidence level and self-assuredness," Rizzo said. "He has a special skill set. He may not be perfectly ready for the big leagues -- I would have loved for him to get 350 at-bats in the Minors."
The move may not be temporary, either -- Rizzo said Harper could remain in the Majors when Zimmerman returns from the DL, depending on how well he plays.
"Zimmerman will come off the DL early in May and we'll make some determinations at that time," Rizzo said. "If he's playing well, then he'll stay on the ballclub. But if we feel we need to re-address the plan, we'll send him back down."
Rizzo reiterated that the club believes sending Harper back to Syracuse wouldn't hinder the outfielder's confidence or development, a potential scenario that many fans hinted could happen if the College of Southern Nevada product was rushed to the Majors too quickly.
"We fell it wouldn't hinder his progress or retard his development if that happened," Rizzo said, citing Tigers great Al Kaline and Angels prospect Mike Trout as other players who were sent down after early Major League stints.
The Nats are on the road in Los Angeles on Saturday and have a 9:10 p.m. ET game scheduled with the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Strasburg, who carried the hype of Harper in his brief Minor League career, will start, and Rizzo said the team is determined on keeping a winning squad on the field this season after years of disappointment in D.C.
"We're here to win games, and Bryce will help us win games," he said. "We're really excited about where we're at and we think Bryce Harper will help us in the Majors Leagues and be an impact player in the near future."
