Last year the German Aerospace Center developed Rollin' Justin, an articulated robot that was particularly adept at catching balls. But so he doesn't have to play catch alone, the DLR just finished building his clunky pitching teammate, Agile Justin.
The two were recently teamed up for a quick game of catch—literally one throw—which as far as I'm concerned is a brief look at the future of major league sports. Human athletes might be more entertaining, but even a team composed of cutting-edge robots is bound to be cheaper than today's superstars, which is what the team owners really care about.
And check out that slo-mo instant replay. Rollin' Justin's claw was clearly signalling for a change-up, but Agile Justin knew the only way to impress the major league scouts was with a gangly-armed lob toss clocking in at 10 mph. Someone get that bot an agent. [Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics via Hizook]

Most of the time, being ill with the flu is little more than a nuisance. Other times, it can spark an exaggerated immune response and turn deadly. Researchers reporting in the September 16th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, have now traced the origins of this severe immune response -- called a cytokine storm -- to its source.
Cytokines are the chemical signals that drive inflammation, and cytokine storms are thought to be the cause of many of the deaths attributed to the 1918 worldwide influenza pandemic and to the more recent outbreaks of swine and bird flu infection. The new study provides encouraging news by offering the foundations for a completely new kind of flu therapy.
"We are showing for the first time that you can actually separate the deleterious events from those needed to control the virus," said Hugh Rosen, senior author of this study, from The Scripps Research Institute.
"It had been thought for a long time that all injury from influenza was due to the virus itself, consequently, and rationally, the focus was on developing antiviral drugs," said study co-author Michael Oldstone, also of Scripps.
The new results suggest that drugs aimed at the dangerous immune response may offer a life-saving new line of defense, by protecting infected hosts from themselves. Another bonus is that such an approach doesn't put the same pressure on viruses to adapt and develop drug resistance.
The cytokines associated with flu infection were thought to come from virus-infected cells found primarily in the lungs and nasal passages. The authors find that the cytokines are instead released from the endothelial cells that line blood vessels. A protein found on the surface of endothelial cells, called Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1P1), is essential for flu-associated cytokine storms.
In mice treated with a molecule that targets S1P1, cytokine production and the early signs of inflammation are suppressed. As a result, the animals are much more likely to survive infection with H1N1 swine flu virus. Notably, several companies are already testing S1P1-targeted drugs in clinical trials, the researchers say.
"Now that we know where cytokines come from and have isolated the specific receptor-based mechanism, it is likely that a single oral dose of a compound can be developed that will provide protection from cytokine storm early in infection," Rosen says.
That's not to say that antiviral drugs will be a thing of the past. Rosen and Oldstone suggest that the most promising therapies of the future would include a combination of drugs designed to protect against cytokine storms and tackle viruses head-on.

Climate change is not just an environmental issue – it is also a health issue. For example, consider the spread of Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), a flowering plant native to North America. The seeds probably crossed the Atlantic from the 19th Century onwards as agricultural products including birdseed. It has spread more vigorously in recent years as climate change has allowed the plant to extend its range northwards.
While ragweed has an environmental cost – it can significantly reduce crop yields and harms ecosystems by outcompeting native plant species – the invasive plant is best known for its health effects. The pollen is one of the most aggressive in causing allergic reactions among those sensitive, including the one in five Europeans who suffer from allergies, one in seven with allergic rhinitis or one in eleven with asthma. During periods of high pollen counts, there are few places to hide, as the pollen can travel hundreds of kilometres.
In addition to the spread of ragweed, evidence suggests that climate change is making the pollen more potent and extending the pollen season. So forward looking health authorities could benefit from looking at climate change projections in order to anticipate and adapt to future health risks.
This story illustrates the importance of considering the environment, health and wellbeing together rather than separately because these issues interact in complex ways with a range of costs and benefits for society. The example comes from a recent report on the 'environment, health and wellbeing (EHWB) nexus' published by European Environment Agency's (EEA) Scientific Committee. The document follows a seminar held at the EEA on February 12 this year, which brought together experts and policy makers from many different fields. Many of the participants argued for a new type of inter-disciplinary science which takes a systemic view, looking at the many positive and negative links and trade-offs between these usually separate areas.
It may seem there is nothing new about considering different policy areas together – air pollution, for instance, has often been considered in terms of its health implications. But the report argues that research should further incorporate these areas, allowing us to gain a system-wide understanding of multiple causes and effects.
Such a change in thinking is more necessary than ever, according to many of the participants in the February workshop. In the past, environmental issues have often been treated as isolated problems with a clear cause and effect. If a lake was polluted, for example, conventional wisdom dictated that the problem was caused by a single point source of pollution.
Nowadays, we are increasingly looking at things differently. Risks interact in complex ways, with multiple causes and effects. We may come to realise that the pollution problem in the lake was the result of complex chemical reactions in the atmosphere between different pollutants and substances.
Of course, part of the reason things seem more complex is that we have a better understanding of the world's complex systems. But it is also true that the world is more complex and interconnected. Globalisation has accelerated global environmental problems - climate change is a striking example of an issue which is truly global in its causes and effects. Other examples include the global movement of pollutants and the way economic trends can deplete resources on the other side of the planet.
Such complexity means it may be impossible to determine a single cause for an environmental or health problem. In the case of illness caused by ragweed, there may be other factors at play alongside pollen – some studies have shown that allergies are worsened by air pollution. Indeed, this is just one of a cocktail of many hundreds of chemicals, substances in air and water, pathogens radiation and other stresses in everyday life. Add differing levels of vulnerability to this mix, and we may start to understand the complexity.
Health science can also benefit from taking a broader EHWB view. Consider the increasing incidence of some types of cancers – by taking an EHWB view, health systems could focus on the multiple aspects of our lifestyles which can increase the risk of cancer, rather than just treatment. Such a preventative approach could mean reducing exposure to chemicals and pollution for multiple benefits.
Another preventative health policy could be to create nature reserves. While the benefits for biodiversity are well known, there is growing recognition that enjoyment of the natural world can improve both physical and psychological health. Access to green space in cities has been linked to longer and healthier lives in elderly people, and improvements in early years development. These benefits could even spur a positive cycle – other research suggests that those in good health have a greater possibility of looking after the environment.
Environmental policy is increasingly looking at these links. The European Union recently adopted its 7th Environmental Action Programme, setting out priorities for the next few years. Titled 'Living well, within the limits of the planet', the document has an explicit focus on improving the environment in order to reap benefits for health and wellbeing.
Breaking out of separate silos of 'environment', 'health' or 'wellbeing' can help forward-looking policy and science. By 2050, 80 % of the EU population is expected to live in urban areas, and 30 % will be over the age of 65. This raises several questions - will air pollution be a more serious issue for a large elderly urban population? And will the effects of pollution be exacerbated by the increased temperatures expected from climate change? Trying to predict such systems-wide changes can be extremely complex – but it seems increasingly likely to be the most rational way of preparing for the future.
]]>Vehicles, industry, agriculture and homes are contributing to air pollution in Europe. Despite falling emission levels and reductions of some air pollutant concentrations in recent decades, the report demonstrates that Europe's air pollution problem is far from solved. Two specific pollutants, particulate matter and ground-level ozone, continue to be a source breathing problems, cardiovascular disease and shortened lives. New scientific findings show that human health can be harmed by lower concentrations of air pollution than previously thought.
Hans Bruyninckx, EEA Executive Director, said: "Air pollution is causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Large parts of the population do not live in a healthy environment, according to current standards. To get on to a sustainable path, Europe will have to be ambitious and go beyond current legislation."
Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik added: "Air quality is a central concern for many people. Surveys show that a large majority of citizens understand well the impact of air quality on health and are asking public authorities to take action at EU, national and local levels, even in times of austerity and hardship. I am ready to respond to these concerns through the Commission's upcoming Air Policy Review."
Between 2009 and 2011, up to 96 % of city dwellers were exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations above WHO guidelines and up to 98 % were exposed to ozone (O3) levels above WHO guidelines. Lower proportions of EU citizens were exposed to levels of these pollutants exceeding the limits or targets set out in EU legislation. These EU limits or targets are in certain cases less strict than WHO guidelines. See EEA data on EU exposure in 2011.
It is not just cities - some rural areas also have significant levels of air pollution, the report notes. National differences across Europe are presented in a series of country fact-sheets accompanying the main findings.
There have been several success stories in cutting emissions of air pollutants – for example sulphur dioxide emissions from power plants, industry and transport have been reduced over the last decade, reducing exposure. Phasing out leaded petrol has also reduced concentrations of lead, found to affect neurological development.
Alongside health concerns, the report also highlights environmental problems such as eutrophication, which is when excessive nutrient nitrogen damages ecosystems, threatening biodiversity. Eutrophication is still a widespread problem that affects most European ecosystems.
Emissions of some nitrogen-containing pollutants have decreased, for example emissions of nitrogen oxides and ammonia have fallen by 27 % and 7 % respectively since 2002. However, emissions were not reduced as much as anticipated, with eight EU Member States breaching legal ceilings a year after the deadline for compliance. To address eutrophication, further measures are needed to reduce emissions of nitrogen.

]]>We feel that we have been very good on tackling air quality issues in larger towns and cities. One example illustrates this perfectly: the ban on the marketing and sale of bituminous (or smoky) fuel in Dublin in 1990.Medical research colleagues looked at the effects of this decision, and noted that 360 preventable deaths have been avoided in Dublin each year since 1990.
However, medium-sized towns still have poor air quality, and the authorities are now looking at new legislation to tackle this by broadening the ban on the sale of bituminous fuel to small towns as well.
In Ireland, the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government is the official body that deals with air quality and related areas. Meanwhile the (Irish) Environmental Protection Agency acts as the operational wing of that Department. There are clearly defined responsibilities between the Department and the Agency as to how guidance on relevant policy areas will be passed down to local authority level.
Dublin is a microcosm of other big cities across the European Union. A lot of commonalities exist in terms of the issues needing to be dealt with. Obesity, cancer, and cardiovascular problems are the main public health issues across the EU, including in Ireland.
The Council has recognised that a lot of the work it does is relevant to public health. One example I think worth raising is a project where we brought air quality and public participation together. The project was carried out several years ago in conjunction with the EU's Joint Research Centre. Called the 'People Project', it ran across six European cities and looked at the carcinogenic air pollutant benzene. Following an oversubscribed response for volunteers on a national radio show, we turned people into walking and talking air quality monitors. They wore benzene badges so they could monitor their exposure to benzene in one given day. We then looked at air quality levels and how their daily behaviour had an impact on their health.
All volunteers got feedback on their results. One funny anecdote from this project was the sobering news that if you want to reduce your exposure to the cancer-causing agent polycyclic aromatic carbon, do not fry bacon! One volunteer working on the bacon grill in a local café had really high levels of exposure.
The serious point from this anecdote is that we have to look at the interaction of both indoor and outdoor pollutants in combination.
One example clearly stands out — the smoking ban in 2004. Ireland was the first country in the world to ban smoking in workplaces. This ban allowed us to focus on the occupational exposure issue whilst improving air quality.
As an interesting aside to this, one industry that suffered from this ban, which would perhaps have been difficult to predict, was the dry cleaning industry. Their business has contracted since 2004 purely because of the smoking ban. So sometimes you can have impacts you did not foresee.
Informing citizens is an essential part of our initiatives and day-to-day work. Dublin City Council produces annual reports that provide a summary of air quality for the previous year. These reports are all placed online. Moreover, the (Irish) EPA has an air-monitoring network, which shares information with local authorities and citizens.
Another example, which is unique to Dublin, is a project launched this year called Dublinked, which gathers information held by the Council and puts it into the public domain. This can be data generated by the local authorities, by private companies delivering services in the city, and by residents. In its Communication from 2009, the European Commission notes that the re-use of public sector information has an estimated worth of EUR 27 billion. This is one of the City Council's initiatives to getting the economy started again.
Dublin City Council got involved following an invitation from the EEA and the European Commission. We saw the project as an opportunity to share models of good practice and to learn from sharing relevant experiences.
Through the project, we noticed how advanced other cities were in developing emissions inventories, and in having an air quality model for their city. So it has been a spur for Dublin City Council to make progress on those tasks. We then felt that it was not good value for money if just the Council alone looked at an emissions inventory and creating an air quality model. So we sat down with the Irish Environment Protection Agency to look at developing a national model, which could also be used at a regional level. Then we set out to work on that.
Martin Fitzpatrick, Principal Environmental Health Officer in the air quality monitoring and noise unit of Dublin City Council, Ireland
The air implementation pilot project gathers cities across Europe to gain a better understanding of cities' strengths, challenges and needs with respect to the implementation of EU air quality legislation and air quality topics in general. The pilot project is run jointly by the Environment Directorate General of the European Commission and the European Environment Agency. The cities participating in the project include Antwerp, Berlin, Dublin, Madrid, Malmö, Milan, Paris, Ploiesti, Plovdiv, Prague and Vienna. The results of the pilot project will be published later in 2013.
One way that the EU has achieved this improvement is by setting legally binding and non-binding limits for the whole Union for certain pollutants dispersed in the air. The EU has set standards for particulate matter (PM) of certain sizes, ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, lead, and other pollutants that may have a detrimental effect on human health or ecosystems. Key pieces of legislation that set pollutant limits across Europe include the 2008 Directive on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe (2008/50/EC), and the 1996 Framework Directive on ambient air quality assessment and management (96/62/EC).
Another approach to legislating for improvements to air quality is through the setting of national annual emission limits for specific pollutants. In these cases, countries are responsible for introducing the measures needed to ensure that their emission levels are below the ceiling set for the relevant pollutant.
The Gothenburg Protocol to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP), and the EU National Emission Ceilings Directive (2001/81/EC) both set annual emissions limits for European countries on air pollutants, including those pollutants responsible for acidification, eutrophication, and ground-level ozone pollution. The Gothenburg Protocol was revised in 2012. And the National Emissions Ceilings Directive is up for review and revision in 2013.
In addition to setting air quality standards for specific pollutants and annual country-level ceilings, European legislation is also designed to target particular sectors that act as sources of air pollution.
Emissions of air pollutants from the industrial sector are regulated, by among others, the 2010 Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and the 2001 Directive on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from Large Combustion Plants (2001/80/EC).
Vehicle emissions have been regulated through a series of performance and fuel standards, including the 1998 Directive relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels (98/70/EC) and vehicle emission standards, known as the Euro standards.
The Euro 5 and 6 standards cover emissions from light vehicles including passenger cars, vans, and commercial vehicles. The Euro 5 standard came into force on 1 January 2011, and requires all new cars covered by the legislation to emit less particulates and nitrogen oxides than the limits set. Euro 6, which will enter into force in 2015, will impose stricter limits on nitrogen oxides emitted by diesel engines.
There are also international agreements concerning the emissions of air pollutants in other areas of transportation, such as the International Maritime Organization's 1973 Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), with its additional protocols, which regulate sulphur dioxide emissions from shipping.
(c) Javier Arcenillas, ImaginAIR/EEA
"Although fortunately there are still places in Romania almost wild and spectacular, where nature is unstained by the hand of man, in more urbanized areas there is an obvious ecological problem."
Javier Arcenillas, Spain
A pollutant is usually regulated by more than one piece of legislation. Particulate matter, for example, is directly addressed by three European legal measures (Directives on ambient air quality and emissions of air pollutants, and the Euro limits on road vehicle emissions) and two international conventions (LRTAP and MARPOL). Some of the PM precursors are tackled by other legal measures.
The implementation of these laws are also spread over a period of time and achieved in stages. For fine particles, the air quality directive sets 25 μg/m3 as a 'target value' to be met by 1 January 2010. The same threshold is set to become a 'limit value' by 2015, entailing additional obligations.
For some sectors, air policies might first cover certain pollutants in limited parts of Europe. In September 2012, the European Parliament adopted the revisions that brought the EU's standards on sulphur emissions by ships in line with the International Maritime Organization's standards from 2008. By 2020, the sulphur limit will be 0.5 % in all the seas around the EU.
For the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the English Channel in so-called 'Sulphur Emission Control Areas', the European Parliament set an even stricter sulphur limit of 0.1 % by 2015. Considering that standard marine fuel contains 2 700 times more sulphur than conventional diesel for cars, it is clear that this legislation gives strong reasons to the shipping sector to develop and use cleaner fuels.
Current European air-quality legislation is based on the principle that EU Member States divide their territories into a number of management zones in which countries are required to assess air quality using measurement or modelling approaches. Most big cities are declared to be such zones. If air‑quality standards are exceeded in a zone, the Member State has to report to the European Commission and explain the reasons.
The countries are then required to develop local or regional plans describing how they intend to improve the air quality. They could for example establish so-called low-emission zones that restrict access for more polluting vehicles. Cities can also encourage a shift in transport to less polluting modes including walking, cycling, and public transport. They can also ensure that industrial and commercial combustion sources are fitted with emission‑control equipment, according to the latest, best-available technology.
Research is also critical. Not only does research offer us new technologies, it also improves our knowledge of air pollutants and their negative effects on our health and ecosystems. Integrating the latest knowledge into our laws and actions will help us to continue to improve Europe's air.

Case studies include the stories behind industrial mercury poisoning; fertility problems caused by pesticides; hormone-disrupting chemicals in common plastics; and pharmaceuticals that are changing ecosystems. The report also considers the warning signs emerging from technologies currently in use, including mobile phones, genetically modified organisms and nanotechnology.
The historical case studies show that warnings were ignored or sidelined until damage to health and the environment was inevitable. In some instances, companies put short-term profits ahead of public safety, either hiding or ignoring the evidence of risk. In others, scientists downplayed risks, sometimes under pressure from vested interests. Such lessons could help avoid harm from emerging technologies. However, five of the stories illustrate the benefits of quickly responding to early warnings.
The world has changed since the first volume of Late Lessons was published. Technologies are now taken up more quickly than before, and are often rapidly adopted around the world. This means risks may spread faster and further, the report says, outstripping society's capacity to understand, recognise and respond to these effects in time to avoid harm.
The report recommends the wider use of the 'precautionary principle' to reduce hazards in cases of new and largely untested technologies and chemicals. It states that scientific uncertainty is not a justification for inaction, when there is plausible evidence of potentially serious harm.
Such a precautionary approach is nearly always beneficial – after analysing 88 cases of supposed 'false alarm', report authors found only four clear cases. The report also shows that precautionary actions can often stimulate rather than stifle innovation.

The U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit over the US Airways-American Airlines merger has resulted in close to two million documents being exchanged by the government and the carriers.
American and US Airways have supplied more than 1.3 million documents to DOJ, both before and after Justice attorneys filed a lawsuit to block the two carriers' merger.
That includes more than 925,000 documents that the airlines sent to Justice while the carriers still hoped to get the government's clearance of their merger. Since DOJ and a number of state attorneys general filed a lawsuit Aug. 13 to stop the merger, the carriers have supplied another 400,000.
In return, DOJ officials have supplied about 560,000 documents to US Airways and American lawyers, "many of which are documents Defendants [the two airlines] originally produced to Plaintiffs [Justice Department] in prior investigations," the warring parties said in a Monday filing.
In all, the total going both ways is more than 1,885,000 documents.
The numbers come out of their joint filing in advance of Tuesday's status conference before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in her Washington, D.C., courtroom.
Unresolved are two demands from the airlines: 1) to know the names of third parties that DOJ interviewed before filing the lawsuit, and 2) documents from DOJ's review of four previous airline mergers between 2005 and 2011. Justice did not challenge those mergers.
We believe both sides are scheduled to meet Monday with special master Richard Levie, who will decide the dispute over whether Justice has to supply the names and documents.
In general, the government and airlines said, "Fact discovery is proceeding expeditiously and is on track to end by October 25, 2013."
That is one month before Judge Kollar-Kotelly begins hearing the case on Nov. 25.

Eagle-eyed visitors will have already noticed we've made a few changes to the homepage and added a couple of new features (both of which are still very much at the beta stage). First (and most obvious) is the new menu bar, which we hope will make finding what you're looking for easier and more logical - and allows us the horizontal space we need for some exciting forthcoming features. We've also added a comprehensive selection of software to our database and introduced a completely new feature, the Link Database.
Software database
As we start to add more articles about, and reviews of software we decided it would make sense to add a new database category and to build a proper software section on the site. At the moment it covers commercial and (a selection of) free desktop software for Windows and Macintosh operating systems, (mobile apps will follow in the future), but we hope, eventually, to build a powerful resource and reference tool for imaging software on all platforms.
Since software is now in our database you can easily add it to your gear list / wish list, write user reviews and compare features between different applications. Click here visit the new software hub.
Link Directory (beta)
The new link directory is, as the name implies, a directory of web resources for photographers and digital camera fans. In the directory you'll find a growing collection of pages (with RSS and twitter updates) for websites, photographers, bloggers and manufacturers. Some of these are valued resources, some sources of inspiration, some are just places and people we like. Right now there's a fairly limited list of sites in the directory - just enough to give you a taste of what it offers - but rest assured we'll be adding to these pages extensively over the coming months.
You can subscribe to updates from any of these pages by clicking on the 'subscribe' button. Updates from pages you're following appear on your profile page and in a widget on the sidebar of the site. If you would like to suggest a site for inclusion in our directory (or claim a page as a site owner/webmaster) please submit feedback using this link.
The new links directory page - currently in beta. |
Updates from sites you subscribe to appear in a sidebar widget on the homepage and on forums. | You can also view - and manage - subscriptions - from your profile. |
That's it for now! There's lots of work still to do, but we're always thinking about ways to expand dpreview and improve the way the site works, and we're excited by some of the possibilities that these changes could open up. Feel free to leave (constructive) feedback in the comments.

Director Lynne Ramsay made a long-anticipated return to filmmaking, after a nine-year absence, in 2011 with "We Need To Talk About Kevin," and it was worth the wait. A tough but equally rewarding film, the picture starring Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly and Ezra Miller tells the tale of a mother's fractured relationship with her son, which grows more distant and hostile before he commits an act of unspeakable horror. The film premiered in-competition at the Cannes Film Festival last year, and went on to earn accolades from critics and a plethora of awards and nominations. And we've got some pretty great prizes for fans of the film.
One lucky winner will receive a poster of the film signed by Tilda Swinton, the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack of the movie, as well as the novel by Lionel Shriver. 2 runners-up will snag prize packs that include the novel and combo Blu-ray/DVD. So how can you win? Email us your name and address, and tell us what band Lynne Ramsay directed a video for, as well as the major movie project Ramsay was working on between "Morvern Callar" and "We Need To Talk About Kevin." Good luck!
Update: Contest closed, winner will be contacted via email. "We Need To Talk About Kevin" is on Blu-ray and DVD today. Contest open to residents of the U.S. only.

One of my good friends (and groomsman to my husband on our wedding day!) takes pictures for New Zealand's version of the Cobrasnake: Neon Sleep and also for his own site- Deers and Bears
Just thought I'd share and show him some love, (he's also the boy in the top picture). Always good to get a bit of kiwi talent out there for the world to see! I love that I have so many friends doing fun stuff with their lives and living creatively.

I ♥ vintage tins
I love old tins and containers and I'm building up a nice little collection. I usually use an old cigar or tobacco tin as a wallet and my house is filled with lovely floral tins holding my tea, or biscuits or secret notes. I have the worst luck actually finding pretty tins whenever i go op shopping- the ones i do find usually end up having ducks on them (seriously, it's so weird, i always find duck tins) or kittens, which isn't really my taste- but lucky i have a lovely friend who gives me a few treats every now and then.
Do you guys collect anything? I'm not a big collector really but i'm always on the look out for bits and pieces to decorate my home with and i love anything old because it just seems to have so much more character.
The above tins can all be found for sale on etsy here, here and here.

(or More Proof That Suffering Builds Character)
By: Dr. James G. Wellborn
Like so many parental expectations and requirements, getting your kid in the habit of doing chores will help prepare them for the real world (if you can ever get them to move out).
Here are some of the benefits kids derive from assigned chores.
• Responsibility (or "I'm not your maid.") When you make a mess YOU are obligated to clean it up. The most straightforward reason your kid needs to do chores is to drive the point home that he is responsible for his actions in the world (and the messes he makes).
• Personal Obligation (or "You helped create this mess now get up and help clean it up!") When you live with other people, you're obliged to contribute to the general upkeep of common living areas. Chores help your kid learn to pull her own weight when it comes to keeping shared spaces clean (so she doesn't end up moving back home because even her friends consider her a slob).
• Organization and Prioritizing (or "You had plenty of time to get that room clean. You can just forget about going anywhere till it's done!") Chores are unpleasant for most kids. Unfortunately, life is filled with unpleasant but necessary tasks. Chores provide the chance for your kid to practice making time for necessary evils like routine maintenance in their schedule of otherwise fun or meaningful activities. This helps them learn how to plan, organize, prioritize and suffer.
• Sensitivity for others (or "Just because it doesn't bother you to wallow in filth doesn't mean I'm going to live in a pig sty!") It isn't crucial that things be straightened or cleaned. Exposure to germs and disease can help build the immune system (if it doesn't kill you first). But, there are some things you do because it is important to someone else (like, say, a spouse or the health department). Chores provide your kids with a clear message that the world doesn't revolve around them and they need to take others' feelings and sensibilities into consideration.
• Pride in a job well done (or "You call that done? Get back in there and finish cleaning that room.") It is important to take pride in even the most insignificant tasks. Chores help your kids learn that every task, however base, is an opportunity to work their hardest and do their best. (The expression on their face when you feed them this line is priceless.)
• Self-sufficiency (or "Why do I have to tell you every single time to replace the trash bag after you take out the trash?") OK, this reason really isn't that important. If your kid needs a lot of practice before he can skillfully take out the trash or sweep the floor, you have much bigger challenges than getting chores done.
Like so many time-honored parental expectations, household chores have a value more significant than the practical issue of household maintenance. That said, what is the most important reason kids should do chores?
Because you said so, of course.

"Do you want to meet the Taliban?" the Afghan lad who ran the dingy chaikhana, or teahouse, on the edge of Kabul's chaotic Grand Bazaar asked me.
"Not really!" I replied thinking young Ali was joking.
"But if you want you can, one man I know is Taliban, if you like I can ask him to see you, it's interesting for you, yes?"
A few days later Ali called me, "Mr Ian, my friend the Talib will come to my shop today, can you come here?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
Before I left the tranquillity of New Zealand the Government's travel advisory website had warned against setting foot anywhere near the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, let alone meeting up with the Taliban. "Extreme risk, suicide car bombings, kidnapping of foreigners, banditry, landmines," these were just a few of the treats in store for anyone fool enough to ignore the advice.
But at the same time the Lonely Planet guide talked of places in Kabul where one could dine on fresh seafood flown in from Dubai, French restaurants with swimming pools and jazz evenings, the marvels of Bamiyan and the ruins of ancient Alexander's Balkh.
In truth, of course, the lure of seafood and jazz had nothing to do with it. Afghanistan had captured me in my teens, in the days when mujahideen fighters trundled about the country on tractors and horses as they took on the Soviet war machine's tanks and helicopters, their exploits shown on the news each night.
I'd had visions of fast-stepping horses in the deserts, of turbaned men in flowing robes with sword and musket defending their parched lands and the honour of their veiled women, of stone Buddhas in a Muslim land, of camels, silk roads and caravanserais.
Post-September 11, Afghanistan was once more on the nightly news, and as I watched I wondered what it was really like there, I wanted to see for myself how it felt to walk on the streets of Kabul. It was still dangerous ... but I went anyway.
Arrival in Afghanistan's capital in mid-summer was an aggravated assault on the senses: omnipresent flies and all-pervading dust; heat to knock you off your feet; beggars, burqas, bellowing donkeys; sandbagged cafes, checkpoints and Kalashnikovs; flocks of urban sheep in the streets grazing on piles of garbage; helicopter gunships hovering over the city in constant menace; psychopathic traffic.
But all this was set against the backdrop of a culture 5000 years in the making, deep traditions of hospitality, salams, welcomes, handshakes and friendship, endless invitations to share tea from everyone I encountered.
English was widely spoken in Kabul, dozens of guesthouses waited for guests, threre were restaurants with succulent meals of mutton and rice with raisins - and empty tables, artisans and craftsmen with shops bursting with carpets, curios and antiques.
Everyone sat idle, wishing Afghanistan would return to its glory days on the overland hippy trail of the 60s and 70s when it rivalled Kathmandu as the place to go. But nightly news stories of wars on terror made almost everyone too afraid to come.
Yet here I was, not merely staying in the capital of this famous hellhole, but off to meet with a representative of the chief bogeyman. Just in case, before I left the guesthouse I was staying in I told someone where I was going and that I planned to have tea with a member of the dreaded Taleban.
Back in Ali's chaikhana the usual old men sat sharing their pots of tea. Ali greeted me and led me out the back of the shop through a concrete yard, past the reeking toilet pit and down a narrow passage way. Should I be doing this? But before I could answer my own question Ali opened a door and ushered me inside.
"This is my friend." Ali introduced me to a dark-skinned middle-aged man who sat on the floor with a boy of about five or six in his lap, though his name was never mentioned. The Talib stood up and greeted me with the salams, smiles, handshakes I would have received from any other hospitable Afghan, while Ali disappeared to return a few minutes later with a pot of tea and a bowl of pistachios.
The man wore the usual Afghan anytime pyjamas, shalwar kameez, his beard was neatly trimmed and there was no black turban.
"E bacha-e shoma ast?" I asked, is this your son?
"Ne, famel-e man dar Kandahar." No, my family is from Kandahar, he told me. The fact that he was from the notorious southern city somewhat confirmed his credentials.
His mobile phone rang and from the conversation I could guess he was talking to someone about moving something to somewhere. "He has a shop." Ali told me. I guessed that meant he was a smuggler.
"I worked at the airport as a security officer," the Talib told me through Ali's translation, "I can't read so it wasn't easy for me to find a job then."
"But why did you want to join the Taliban?" I asked.
"The Taliban were the government then, I was just working for the government. Lots of men joined because they needed work and there was nothing else."
"Do you still consider yourself to be Taliban?"
"Yes," he shrugged, "I'm Taliban."
"During the time of the Taliban," he went on, "Afghanistan was peaceful, it was safe, there was no stealing, no criminals, you could leave your money on the street and it would still be there tomorrow."
He showed me where he kept his cash now, in a pocket tucked well away under his outer garments. "I used to keep my money here, like this!" And he slipped a few hundred Afghanis into his top pocket half sticking out for the world to see.
No one I met denied that during the reign of the Taliban petty crime and disorder all but vanished. "I would send my son," the Talib said, "to Kabul with thousands of dollars in his bag, completely safe, but now? I won't even send him to the market to buy a melon!" I'd heard the same kind of story a dozen times, but it was the only positive thing anyone had to say about the Taleban.
"In the West," I told him, "we had a view that the Taleban were very bad."
"Of course," he nodded, "there were some who were bad like in any government, but 95 per cent were good. The leaders were all good men but they couldn't know what every man was doing; does President Karzai know what all his men are doing?"
"But what about Afghan women, they weren't allowed to go to work or to school?" I countered.
"That's not true! They could go to the Islamic schools, the madrassas! And as long as they wore the burqa they could go to work, otherwise they should stay at home!"
"What about banning women from wearing white socks and nail polish?"
"Not true! Not true!"
The conversation went on like this. Every atrocity I'd heard of he denied had ever happened, every item of idiotic Islamic law imposed wasn't true.
According to the Taleb, men were allowed to shave and the reports of imprisonment for not having fist-long beards were just Western propaganda. He insisted the Taleban leaders had a deep and excellent knowledge of the Koran.
Even the halftime executions at football matches at Ghazi Stadium were myth, "No! I never heard of that happening! Just sometimes the players in the teams fought against each other!"
We were soon both becoming frustrated as each of us expected the other to see things differently. I could also sense a rising tension in Ali's voice as he translated. In the staunch "shame and honour" culture of Afghanistan did he find my accusations an insult to a family friend?
"What about the three foreign aid workers, the three women who were shot dead in Lowgar," came my final assault, recalling the recent murder of the three women, Canadian, British and American, who were pulled from their car not far from Kabul and shot dead along with their Afghan driver. "The Taleban claimed responsibility but how can they call themselves men, how can they call themselves warriors of Islam when they shoot dead unarmed women who cannot defend themselves, women who had come here to help the poor, how can they be so cowardly?"
"Those women were not killed by Taleban! They were killed by criminals who said they were Taleban! Anyone can dress like a Taleb and say 'I am a Taleb'!"
The boy in the man's lap looked around at the three of us nervously at the raising of his voice. He stood up and slipped outside into the courtyard to play in the dust with a broken kite.
"And anyway," he went on to justify their murders, "those women were not wearing Islamic dress! This is an Islamic country!"
"I hardly think they were wearing miniskirts and bikini tops!" I said, though, thankfully perhaps, Ali was unable to translate this, "And besides, is that reason enough to drag a woman from her car and shoot her dead?"
We sat in silence for several minutes and sipped the last of our now cold tea.
"Mr Ian," Ali whispered, "if you don't have any more questions I think we can go now?"
"Sure, perhaps this is enough."
We all stood up and I shook hands with the Taleb. His anger seemed to have vanished and he smiled. He didn't strike me as being someone inherently bad, there was simply no way to reconcile our opposing views and each of us just had to accept that we had grown up in different worlds.
Back in the teahouse Ali stood with me in the doorway and added his point of view to the already existing complexities.
"Mr Ian, many of the Taleban were not bad people, the leaders even wanted a more free life for Afghan people."
He told me how the mullahs had wanted Afghanistan to have television, to have the internet, to have educated women and foreign investment. But the real power lay with the foot soldiers, illiterate villagers who had grown up in refugee camps, men who had never learnt to read their precious Koran and who had been brainwashed into the belief that an orthodox Islamic state was their God-given birthright.
The mullahs knew that if they didn't give the men what they wanted they themselves would be overthrown and lynched.
Whatever the truth, from my conversations with the people I met in the three months I spent in Afghanistan it appeared that the rule of the Taleban was not the time of eternal darkness those days had been portrayed as in the Western media. It was more like a shade of grey, dark grey perhaps but not utterly black.
"Tashakor Ali-jan," I thanked him and laughed, "it was an interesting conversation."
"You are welcome Mr Ian," and I turned to go. "Oh Mr Ian, please don't tell anyone who you met today and how you met him, okay?"
"Of course."
"And perhaps don't come here for a few days, I will call you when it's better to come back, alright?"
"Whatever you say Ali-jan." We shook hands. He never called again.
Travel facts
Visas: All visitors to Afghanistan require a visa.
Getting there: Pakistan International Airlines flies from Islamabad to Kabul once a week. Indian Airlines and the Afghan airline Ariana fly from Delhi to Kabul twice weekly. Afghan airlines Ariana and Kam Air fly daily from Dubai to Kabul.
Note: Advertised services offered by various airlines in and out of Afghanistan are subject to sudden and unexplained changes.
Security: Security concerns in Afghanistan should not be taken lightly. The situation can be volatile and is constantly changing. Travel insurance is essential and should include air evacuation coverage. However, with good planning and by taking careful and sensible precautions, independent travel to many places in Afghanistan is possible.

Buried Treasure Socks
I have wanted for a long time to make intensely cabled socks, and here they are… elegant socks with cables galore, plus a
"buried treasure" of glittering beads. The cables cause the leg to draw in more than usual, so the number of leg stitches has
been increased to compensate. These extra stitches are then decreased in the gusset with a special technique.
These socks were first published in Yarn Magazine Issue 8, November 2007.
This pattern is charted only.
Bead requirement: size 8/0 seed beads - approximately 226 (254) for medium (large) sock.
Error found in pattern on 4/22/10. The number of stitches after completing the heel and picking up stitches for the gusset should be 100 for the medium size, 112 for the large size. These extra stitches are then decreased in the gusset to the proper number of stitches for the foot.
Round 1 of Beaded Rib Pattern should read:
Rnd 1: (P3, k2) twice, p4, k2, p3, k2, p4, k1, p4, k1, repeat from to last st, p1.

I havent found a better Draft Prospect site as what Minor League Baseball.com has going on right now with their draft reports. Seems like they will be adding players every week too.
Here it is
The fact that Wieters is an inch shorter and 10 pounds lighter than Adam Dunn amazes me. Seriously, how can someone with that kind of body have the ability to stick behind the dish?
Yeah, I know agility and whatnot are different for the two, but still, sheesh.
Thanks for the milb.com link Shaknb8k!
Brackman would be fantastic, but I really worry about his durability. There have been a slew of pitchers with his frame going back to Ryan Anderson aka The Little Unit, most have been derailed by injuries. There are lots of moving parts associated with these ultra tall pitchers. I would be more leary of drafting a pitcher 6'7" and over. That just seems to be the dividing line. You might argue your typical high school arm is more likely to pan out then a super tall pitcher.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Most taller pitchers end up having back problems before its said and done. Althogh with that said I feel the need to address the HS pitcher comment. HS pitchers are coming forward and flourishing like never before. The reason is probably due to how they are being treated, unlike the past where they were just thrown into the fire. A HS pitcher is a much safer bet now than it was say 15 years ago.
I agree doug. I was just saying that given the relative dislike of HS pitchers in the first round from some, taking a tall pitcher is much worse. I would still rather have a college pitcher in the first round assuming he has the talent and results, just as long as he isn't too tall.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Wieters is only 230. Dunn's like 275.The fact that Wieters is an inch shorter and 10 pounds lighter than Adam Dunn amazes me.
Huh. I've seen Dunn listed as 240 in some places, but 275 elsewhere.
My point remains; Wieters is surprisingly large for a catcher. I'll be impressed if he's still playing there in five years.
Also, one point about Brackman that's worth noting. The mileage on his arm is much, much lower than the majority of other pitchers his age. Playing and focusing on basketball until recently has kept overzealous managers and coaches from throwing him out there and riding him into the ground. Because he's older, his body might be able to shoulder the load more.

Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
That is a player I would LOVE to see the Reds draft.Jason Heyward, OF, L-L, 64, 220, Henry County HS, McDonough, Ga.
Having already taken a high-end college pitcher, the Blue Jays may shift their focus to a high-ceiling prep player. Years ago they traded for a young first baseman named Fred McGriff, who went on to belt almost 500 big league homers. Jason Heyward has drawn comparisons to McGriff for the last two years thanks to his size, his lefty stroke and his power potential.
The best thing about Heyward is that, unlike McGriff, he wont be limited to first base as a pro. Sporting an arm that has touched 90 mph during stints as a pitcher and above average speed, Heyward profiles as a very capable everyday rightfielder in the majors. He is also adept at working counts to get his pitch and wont shy away from walks.
At present, his power is impressive even though he sprays hits from foul pole to foul pole. Once he learns how to turn on pitches consistently hes going to be a monster power source for years to come. J.P. Ricciardi has shown that he will take a high school player in the right situation, and Heywards skill set will provide Toronto with just that situation.
The Reds might be able to snag a HS who's better than the #15 slot. Perhaps a kid like Tanner Robles, though HS pitchers who throw a lot of curves terrify me from a health standpoint.

I'd like to see a mix of HS and college arms with the high draft picks. Seems to me that this is the draft WayneK can really put his own stamp on... and I hope it is with pitching!
"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
I am in the Mock draft as well.
Baseball America has started a free draft blog
Check it out.
I would like to see the Reds correct their organizational lack of young catchers - starting by drafting 2 catchers in the first 5 rounds - pick the best College catcher and the best HS catcher on your list (that way they will play at different levels so both will get playing time).
Pitching is needed, as always, and I hope good pitching is emphasised in early round selections.
