Ghosts. Psychic phenomena. Mysterious rites conducted by the light of a full moon. Is the Central Valley the epicenter of ectoplasmic activity? Could our hometown, like Sunnydale, be situated on its own "Hellmouth"? Or are these claims a symptom of a more general malaise? It's been nearly a decade since the finale of The X-Files, but like Fox Mulder, many still "want to believe" in the paranormal, and such phenomena are rarely confronted in a rational way in the news media. The general unconcern with meaningful evaluation suggests the nadir of critical thought in the United States.
It is true that belief in the paranormal has always been with us—séances were all the rage in the late 19 th century—but now with on-the-spot media and the Internet we should be able to see through the vacuous claims of pretended savants. And yet we leave ridiculous notions unchallenged, though the ramifications of the claims are a risk to our society. Police detectives cannot do anything with information provided by psychic detectives other than compare over-generalized comments to successful police work. Confirmation bias tends to make us remember only the times the so-called "psychically gifted" get a hit. John Edward bets his career on this point.
People are indeed—as a local reporter noted—"fascinated by things that can't be rationalized," and thus it is all the more important that we explain clearly the issues involved in thinking about such matters. The supposedly skeptical news media, however, foregrounds the sensational fascination of the subject. Last spring saw a splashy story in The Fresno Bee about ghost hunters from Fresno Adult School at the site of a local hotel. The activities of the investigators included a list of pseudo-scientific inquiries, from temperature variations to electromagnetic fields. Where was the critique that none of these methods provide robust support for what they claim?
We should ask why media outlets regularly treat astrolology. I'm sure they would maintain it is because people are entertained by such things. Indeed! Are they willing to label them "for entertainment only"? I have to turn off Pacifica Radio immediately when their midday zodiac and tarot show commences: they appear to be serious. Somehow Caroline Casey manages to connect sloppy new-age thinking with meaningful activism. I shouldn't just pick on the loony left, though. There was no critical commentary on National Public Radio when Corey Flintoff did a report on a "seer and fortune teller" in Baghdad.
Though astrology may be entertaining, the doctor who delivered you had more gravitational influence upon you than any star other than the sun. Of course astrologers in the post-scientific revolution world have gotten wise: they no longer say it is direct influence, but the "rhythm of the cosmos" that influences your birth, and thus your personality and fortune. Equally vapid. As this construct is neither predictive nor falsifiable, it must be marked off as special pleading by those who see money to be made.
Numerous publications have begun to treat something called "biodynamic" (sometimes incorrectly defined as "organics plus") growing methods. There is even an organization to authenticate the approach, which involves superstitious practices (such as burying manure in a cow's horn) and astrological beliefs. We have allowed the "biodynamic" idea to slip into discourse all too insidiously: on September 14, 2007, NPR did an uncritical piece that celebrated "biodynamic" methods and "agricultural homeopathy." Such unbalanced reporting keeps information from the public.
The standard defense of believers in the paranormal is that mean-spirited skeptics won't consider alternative ideas. Ah, yes—in the final struggle between dour, curmudgeonly skepticism and warm, people-friendly gullibility, the choice is easy. In fact this construct relies on a false dichotomy. There is no divide between Western medicine and alternative medicine; there is simply medicine that works and medicine that does not work. Many traditional methods from indigenous peoples have been welcomed into the Western pharmacopoeia.
The news media should not only mention the counter-point to any paranormal claim within an article or segment, but, given the amount of misleading material that has been published, they should include pieces primarily focused on how the use of critical thought opens a far greater world of wonder than these half-digested schemes can convey. Throughout the last century, thinkers from Martin Gardner to Michael Shermer have brilliantly illuminated the reality that, as Gardner says in his book title: TheNight Is Large. The Truth is Out There. Have journalists the courage to forego the allure of easy entertainment to report it?

Hunter Pro-Spray Sprinkler Heads
Hunter Pro-Spray sprinkler heads are engineered to ensure long-lasting, reliable performance in residential applications. Available in heights from shrub to 12", Pro-Spray heads feature durable construction that is second to none, exclusive body cap design which does not leak even when loosened, and a reliable, easy to adjust two-piece ratchet. Pro-Sprays are compatible with Pro Adjustable Nozzles, Pro Fixed Nozzles, and MP Rotators. All models also include a user-friendly pull-ring flush cap to keep debris and clogging to a minimum. The Hunter Pro-Spray sprinkler head is compatible with all industry standard female nozzles offering a high degree of flexibility.
The Pro-Spray Advantage
Co-molded wiper seal
The industry's most rugged wiper seal is co-molded from two types of chemical and chlorine-resistant materials. This pressure activated, multi-function wiper seal reduces flow-by, operates at low pressures, and allows more sprinkler heads to be installed on the same zone. Its innovative design prevents debris from entering the seal when the riser is retracted, reducing riser stick-ups.
Industry's Strongest Spray Body
The Pro-Spray line incorporates a heavy-duty ribbed body and durable cap engineered to withstand the harshest environments, including the rigors of foot traffic and the abuses of heavy machinery. In addition, the buttress thread design provides superior strength in cap-to-body gripping capacity helping the head to withstand high inlet surge pressures.
Optional Check Valve
Optional check valves eliminate drainage at heads installed on slopes, protecting landscapes from damage and erosion while reducing water waste. Choose from the convenience of factory-installed check valves or the flexibility of field installation.
Innovative Seal Design
Pedestrian traffic, landscaping equipment, temperature changes, and cycling pressures can often cause body caps to loosen. Most spray bodies utilize an O-Ring, which breaks the seal immediately after loosening. The Pro-Spray can withstand more than one full 360º turn and remain sealed at any pressure.

Asian dumplings can be enjoyed with many kinds of beverages, not just tea. Last week, my husband made a tropical cocktail to go with the deep-fried crab Rangoon wontons. It was a splendid way to finish the day, or start the night.
Trader Vic's was, and still is, famous for its cocktails. Out of curiosity, I flipped to the back of the Trader Vic's Pacific Island Cookbook to the "Drinks Recipes" chapter. Whoever owned the before me put the cocktail section to great use. It was the most stained part of the book.
There were recipes for San Francisco favorites, tropical drinks, and party punches. Names such as Silver Stallion, Tabu [sic], and Tiki Punch conjured up the restaurant's 'exotic' tiki atmosphere. A perfect place for crab Rangoon to reign supreme. But what would one drink with crab Rangoon? There were many options but I settled on the Rangoon Ruby. The wonton and drink are in the same ersatz club, no? There was even a cheesy, period-appropriate photo too!

BUT they never said we couldn't PRAISE them.
This week's cover:
By Aileen Erin
Expected Release Date: October 14th 2014
In the not-too-distant future, the color of your helix tattoo shows exactly how your DNA was modified—green for super-smart scientists, black for pumped-up warriors, white for the immortal Seligo—but Cipher's red helix is a death sentence. It's a sign of unstable DNA, which is probably the reason she can manipulate electricity.When she was eight years old, Cipher made the mistake of showing her uncle the tattoo. In return, he killed her parents and tried to kidnap her.She's been on the run ever since, and twelve long years later, Cipher is tired of hiding. Survival isn't enough anymore. She wants her life back.Hacking into the Citadel mainframe is a huge risk, but it pays off when she finds a database on red helixes. Before she can copy it, she loses control of her power, charring her last processor, and the only person in the Arizona Voids that can get her back online is her oldest friend, Knightly. She hasn't seen him in person since she started running, and Knightly 2.0 is fully upgraded with a six-pack and knee-melting smile.For a girl like Cipher, trust doesn't come easily, but Knightly makes her yearn for a life she knows she can't have, especially when every secret she reveals endangers them both.

Solid Waste
Greenpoint and Williamsburg have long been overburdened with facilities no other community wanted, resulting in a plethora of environmental ills. One of the most burdensome is the concentration of waste transfer stations that process garbage not only from our own neighborhood, but from other parts of the city. North Brooklyn currently hosts nearly one-third of all the solid waste land-based transfer stations in the city.
In 2001, the city closed the Fresh Kills landfill, located on Staten Island, which had been the primary repository for the city's residential waste since it opened in 1947. Until the closure of Fresh Kills, garbage had been transported to the landfill primarily by barge. In preparation for the closure, the city started exporting its garbage to remote locations in Virginia and other states by truck. Before being shipped out-of-state, the garbage must be transported by collection vehicles from its location of origin to waste transfer stations, where it is consolidated before being loaded on tractor-trailer trucks for the trip out of the city.
One of the largest concentrations of waste transfer stations in the city is in North Brooklyn, where 19 cluster around the Newtown Creek, processing close to 40 percent of the city's garbage that passes through waste transfer stations. While some use barge or rail for exporting, the vast majority of the ones in our neighborhood use tractor-trailer trucks. This means that our streets are inundated with truck traffic, much of it diesel, causing pollution, congestion, noise and other problems.
In 1999, OUTRAGE (Organizations United for Trash Reduction and Garbage Equity), a coalition of Greenpoint and Williamsburg community groups, was formed to address the proliferation of waste transfer stations. Together with OUTRAGE and other groups, GWAPP has taken advantage of opportunities to reduce the amount of solid waste that passes through North Brooklyn, especially the truck traffic that delivers it.
In 2006, the city adopted the comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP), which makes recommendations for handling municipal waste city-wide. It includes a plan to implement marine transfer stations, which transport garbage out of the city via barge instead of truck. Because a single barge can carry up to the equivalent of 28 tractor-trailer trucks, construction of marine transfer stations has the potential to greatly reduce the number of truck trips. In preparation for passage of the SWMP, GWAPP asked the city's Department of Sanitation (DOS) to conduct studies in connection with the related environmental impact statement.
In a 2004 position paper submitted to DOS, GWAPP asked that the following be included in the draft environmental impact statement:
- A re-analysis of the impacts of commercial waste. The study conducted previously concluded there would be "no adverse impacts" on our community from truck traffic carting commercial waste to and through the neighborhood. The study was obviously flawed.
- A study of possible new on/off ramps that could be included in the Kosciuszko Bridge Replacement to greatly reduce local truck traffic leading to any new transfer station.
- An analysis of best alternatives for eliminating truck traffic in residential areas, keeping it within the boundaries of the "Significant Maritime Industrial Use Area" defined by the state Coastal Zone Management Plan.
- A study to determine borough self-sufficiency. Each borough should handle its own garbage.
- A study of 1) closing existing land-based transfer stations as new marine and rail transfer stations are opened and 2) halting all new permits for commercial solid waste stations in Community Board #1.
- An accounting in all truck traffic impact studies of increased neighborhood traffic resulting from the waterfront rezoning.
Today, GWAPP, OUTRAGE and other community groups are fighting to make sure that the marine transfer stations and other mitigations promised in the SWMP are carried out, reducing truck traffic and related problems.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Police raided a stadium in the northeastern city of Recife and other offices around Brazil on Friday as part of an investigation into fraud in contracting for the arena, which was built for the 2014 FIFA World Cup footballtournament.
In a statement, federal police said contracts for the Arena Pernambuco, built and operated by a consortium led by contractor Odebrecht SA [ODBES.UL], were overpriced by as much as 42.8 million reais ($12.26 million).
Police said that the overpriced contracts amounted to fraud and a lack of transparency meant to distort bidding among competitors in the stadium project.
Odebrecht, Latin America's biggest builder and a company with a long history of major infrastructure and other public construction projects, was also at the centre of a corruption probe around state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras (PETR4.SA).
The company on Friday confirmed the raids, but in a statement called them "unjustified." Odebrecht has "full faith in the norms and legality" of the stadium project, it added.
Marcelo Odebrecht, the company's chief executive and grandson of its founder, is one of dozens of senior Brazilian corporate and political figures ensnared in the Petrobras scandal, in which contractors agreed to overpriced jobs in exchange for kickbacks.
Police said they were conducting searches at the stadium, corporate offices and homes of consortium executives in the states of Pernambuco, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia, Brazil's capital.

This is how a yoga guru can turn into a Business giant, the man who teaches the art of healthy leaving is turning his simple healthcare tips into healthy and wealthy business by producing varieties of daily products with natural touch, but the interesting point is that the company "Patanjali" founded by Baba Ramdev is posing perfect rivalry to the homegrown companies like Dabur and Marico.
In addition with this the Ayurveda Company is entering into a partnership with the "Future Group". The two companies announced a pact to sell Patanjali's FMCG products through Future Group stores with a plan of joint manufacturing in the future. Patanjali's range of FMCG products including staples, nutrition, health care and toiletries will be sold through Future Group's BigBazaar, KB's and Easyday outlets throughout India.
Baba Ramdev stated that Patanjali is also planning to launch products like pasta and oatmeal and targeting to achieve 5000 crore turnover this fiscal year.
Market research analysts say that the company is unlikely to change the dynamics in overall FMCG industry where HUL, ITC, DABUR and GODREJ already have a strong brand retained customers, maybe in particular niche products (healthcare products as niche for Patanjali) the company may gain very promising share of market.

A hiatus hernia occurs when the upper section of the stomach pushes up into the chest region through a weak area in the diaphragm. It can happen to anyone at any age, although it tends to be more common in individuals who are overweight, over the age of 50 and among pregnant women. There are two main types of this hernia. The most common is referred to as sliding hiatus hernia and this happens when the stomach moves up and down and in and out of the chest with the oesophagus. The less common type is a rolling hiatus hernia, where part of the stomach protrudes up through the diaphragm.
What causes it?
There is not always a clear reason why hiatus hernias happen. However, it is believed to be related to age, as the muscles in the diaphragm become weaker the older we get. In other cases, excessive pressure on the stomach area from coughing, vomiting or lifting heavy objects can trigger the problem. In very rare instances, it can occur when the diaphragm doesn't develop properly in infancy.
What are the symptoms?
Although there are often not any noticeable symptoms, hiatus hernias can sometimes cause gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), where stomach acid seeps into the oesophagus. This problem can result in symptoms such as heartburn, a bad taste in your mouth, chest pain and problems with swallowing. Hiatus hernias and GORD may also cause coughing and wheezing at night time when you are trying to sleep.
If you have ongoing or severe symptoms of GORD, you should make an appointment with your GP. They may be able to recommend simple treatments you can use at home to help with acid reflux.
However, you will need immediate medical attention if you experience severe pain in the abdomen or chest, you feel nauseous or are vomiting, or you are struggling with bowel movements. These can all be signs that you have a strangulated hernia, which can be a serious health concern.
How can it be treated?
Sometimes, hiatus hernias don't have any symptoms and do not need to be treated. However, when it does cause problems, treatment usually involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. Surgery is only generally considered as a last resort when all other methods of treatment have been unsuccessful or if there are serious health implications.
Lifestyle changes that can help reduce symptoms include eating smaller meals more frequently rather than three large meals a day and avoiding lying down for a few hours after you eat or drink. You should also try to steer clear of food and drink that can make the condition worse, such as spicy, fatty and acidic foods, as well as chocolate, caffeine and alcohol. In addition, it's a good idea to avoid bending over or stooping down after eating or drinking. If you are overweight, doing regular exercise can help you to get in shape and reduce some of the symptoms. Quitting smoking can also stop irritation of the digestive system.
Many people with a hiatus hernia also find that raising the head of their beds by at least six inches can reduce coughing and breathing difficulties during the night. However, it is best not to use extra pillows for your head, as this can increase pressure on the abdomen and make the problem worse.
Taking over the counter heartburn medicine can also be an effective treatment for GORD. In more severe cases, your doctor might recommend a range of medications that can be taken, including antacids, alginates, H2-receptor antagonists and proton-pump inhibitors.
How can adjustable beds help?
Adjustable beds can be useful for people suffering with hiatus hernias and can be used as a method of long-term treatment. Rather than having to use blocks or wood to raise the head of the bed, you can easily maneuver these furnishings into your desired position with the simple touch of a button. This allows you to sleep with your upper body in a more upright position, helping to reduce pressure on your stomach. Hiatus hernias are often accompanied by high levels of stomach acid, which can cause breathing difficulties during the night when you breath in the acid that has travelled up from your stomach. An adjustable bed allows you to sleep with your abdomen lower than your head to prevent acid reflux and help you get a more restful night's sleep.
If you are struggling to figure out which of our adjustable beds will help with your medical condition, don't hesitate to get in touch with our friendly and helpful team. Simply tell us about your symptoms and we will be able to advise you on the best product for your needs and can answer any other queries you may have. You can also enter your details into our form and we will send you a brochure with more detailed information about our products.

So I went to New York last week and got married to my beloved Mr Vegan (photos on Facebook for those interested!) We had a truly wonderful time and I got to meet writer and fellow blogger Eimear in the flesh, which was lovely. What a great girl.
We did so much fantastic stuff but one of my literary highlights was a visit to the offices of The New Yorker in the Condé Nast building on Times Square. A friend works in another magazine in that building and her friend is a fiction editor at The New Yorker so she brought me to meet him. It is a HUGE office, with lines of cubicles, very hushed and busy. The walls on the way in are hung with framed original drawings of cover after cover. We had a lovely chat about short stories, the Frank O'Connor Festival, the Cúirt Festival, short fiction writers we both enjoy and about their summer fiction issue of American writers under 40. Something to look forward to reading.
He showed me the slush pile in a little room. Oh lordy - lots of envelopes! And apparently it is much reduced since they receive many subs by email. It was fun and daunting and exciting to be there and I really enjoyed it. A world away from Ballinasloe!
Now I have jet lag and must prepare a week-end's worth of teaching for my short fiction course in the IWC this week-end. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Oh wonderful congratulations to you both! And the New Yorker! I was there years ago and my stilted memory recalls a bathtub full of books received and maybe read. But i´m told it was never a bath tub. At least in New York no one will query the validity of your marriage as people did our Las Vegas one ;) Looking forward to seeing you in Toronto, Mrs.

text: So we continue on with our party it up while Emily is gone to camp. Benjamin, Hannah & I hit the Osprey Baseball game last night, we got to visit with Daddy who is an usher there. I should have taken a pic of him in his uniform!! (why didn't I? note to self: stop misisng out of memory making shots you BIG dork). The main reason we went to this game was because they have a free fireworks show afterwards, the problem is though you have to sit and watch the whole game!! (Osprey:not so good). Thank goodness we saw lots of friends there to visit with, especially in the snow cone line since we were there about an hour. I left the two to go to the Mommy concession stand and when I came back Benjamin was like "MOM THAT'S A BEER" I explained I knew, he asked me "Mom, do girls like beer?". I said "yes", I didn't explain how some girls I know like beer a little TOO much. (say...Vicki). Anyway, the fireworks show was awesome to be so close too. It was loud though. My new camera that Dan got me for Christmas has a fireworks button so I was excited to try it out. Well as you can see, it doesn't work that well. I should play with it a little more today and maybe get some good shots tonight. Dan is working the Dierks Bentley concert tonight, Em still gone and H, B & I are headed to the Muellers for the yearly gig. Tomorrow we are headed up to the Druyvestein's cabin on Flathead for the rest of the w/e!!! Fun, Fun!!! Be safe, have fun, don't drink & drive and remember the men and women fighting for our freedom (and that of others) today!!! God Bless America!

I just wrote about one particular element of Persistence that I wasn't quite happy with.
With a little more testing, I decided to remove that part of the game and make it simpler to understand.
I just changed the "color war" modifier so that colour changing is twice as effective as it was and now there is no confusion about having to keep grabbing even once the whole block is on your side. It makes the game slightly easier to play, but much easier to understand.
Sometimes when you make something you become attached to a way it was, and attached to the original idea you had about a cool feature. When that feature doesn't work as well as intended it can be hard to give it up. In this case I managed to.

Perfect Paint Preview
our remarkable new web service!
Design Portfolio
At DesignByMoonlight, I personally build completely custom websites from initial design to final code. All websites are
and more, written in the latest available versions of HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP, and
compliant to W3C specifications
unless customer requirements dictate otherwise. I also provide a variety of standalone
graphic design
and other services.
Try this test with your current web designer. Pick an item on your website's home page, then ask your web designer to show you
in a text editor
the exact code that creates that item. If your designer has to get help from browser tools, content managers or other software aids to show you that exact code, then you need to switch to a new web designer who knows exactly what he's designing.
Here are just a few of my past web design and other projects. Let's put yours among them!
DesignByMoonlight listened carefully to Pastega Coffee Roasters' exact requirements for their new company website, and then designed and coded the site using the best that contemporary web design and programming can provide. We incorporated DesignByMoonlight's self-editable design technology, the easiest and most design-safe method for updating your own website's content, into the Pastega site. We also built slide-aside panels for coffee background information, provided custom graphics for Pastega Coffee's cold-brew and other products, and integrated multiple maps to make all Pastega Caffé locations easy to find.
A longtime DesignByMoonlight maintenance customer,
Bashful Bob's Doors and Windows
commissioned my company to construct a completely-new site. I presented Bashful Bob's company culture and values in the specific graphical style of their new website, built strongly-interactive pages to maximize visitor benefit and interest, developed a thumbnail-selectable video gallery and a combination slideshow / still photo gallery, and added self-editable updating capability.
Shown here is the contact page, which includes an open-source location map and an unfolding FAQ list. Contact form submissions are processed to capture and remove almost all spam.
Set against a beautiful river valley background,
Willamette Valley Christian Supply's
new website presented Kevin and Krista Ferguson's personal commitment to their customers and to the area. The site's product categories display large numbers of product images in a roomy but efficient space. A video interview introduces the owners, and website features help serve their visitors well, including a perpetual event and holiday / holy day calendar. Contact page visitors can specifically ask after a favorite title or item when they use the page.
In addition to web graphic design, I provide a variety of other graphic design services such as these for
Cedar Tree Technologies.
My services include brochure and product documentation design and artistic services, still photography as well as
Visitor Viewpoint Control
web photography, print ad and web ad design (both static and animated), logo, business card and letterhead design, and standalone video.

Its comfortable dreadnought cutaway shape makes it great for just about any kind of gig, and you can choose between a traditional Natural or edgy Black finish to best fit your personal style. Excellent for pop, rock, folk and most other acoustic genres, the CD-140SCE also features high-quality onboard electronics that make it even better when plugged in.

The built-in tuner is conveniently placed right where you can see it, helping to keep your intonation right on the money
Scalloped bracing is thinner than more conventional bracing. That means that the bracing pattern inside the guitar uses less wood, which means that soundboard mass is reduced. This lets the top resonate more freely, resulting in better tone with more nuance and greater projection.
An acoustic guitar with a solid top literally resonates with a more individual tonal character, more "organic" consistency and a more "true" voice.

Good for him. I've said enough negative things about the guy lately that he deserves some praise for doing something right. On the other hand, with a single exception about which I'm both surprised and pleased, I honestly don't know if the people who got relief were especially deserving or, more important perhaps, if they were more deserving than the people who didn't get relief. (He also denied clemency to 218 men and women.)
Of course, it might have been nice if he'd emptied death row.
And there's the whole thing of it being about time. These applications had been filed in 2005, 2006, and 2007. He's hoping to decide what to do with the 2008 applications sometime before his (hoped for) second term ends.
Still, I don't want to be churlish. It would be nice, after all, if Obama would get around to granting even a single pardon. Just one. Sometime. In an article from from the TimesOnline last month, one the Pardon Power blog rightly calls "very odd," we learn just how slow the President has been.
Professor Douglas Berman, a constitutional expert at Ohio State University, noted last week that only three of 38 presidents between Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan failed to grant pardons during their first 100 days in office. John F Kennedy started slowly but in only 34 months in office pardoned 472 people and commuted 100 prison sentences.
Obama is now in his 10th month as president and has not granted a single clemency or commutation of sentence. "It is a sad and telling commentary on the emptiness of the rhetoric of hope and change [that] President Obama was not able to find even a single case in the massive federal criminal justice system meriting some kind of clemency relief during his first 100 days in office," said Berman. "I'm very disappointed."
Of course, if Obama's extraordinarily slow (as in no pardons at all), there's been a downward trend for a bit.
Except that they didn't die completely under Clinton or the lesser Bush. Now they have. Kaput.
"Pardoning used to be considered a part of the routine housekeeping business of the presidency and hundreds of grants were made every year, without fanfare, to ordinary people," said Margaret Colgate Love, a lawyer specialising in clemency requests.
"But the system broke down in the Clinton administration and the Justice Department's pardon office has become a place where petitions for presidential mercy go to die."
The power to pardon, to grant clemency, is the power of mercy. It can be used for error correction, certainly, but at it's most potent it is something more. An act of grace from the sovereign. Not earned or deserved because one cannot earn or deserve grace. It descends.
It's an old fashioned idea, one that our leaders abandoned in favor of pandering to public fear (fanned, of course, by the 24 hour news cycle and the misnamed Nancy Grace). It's worth bringing back.
Doug Berman this morning links to a column in the San Francisco Chronicle, "lamenting the fact that the first use of the pardon power by President Obama will be for a turkey":
On Wednesday, President Obama will issue the White House's standard hokey pardon of a Thanksgiving turkey. It goes with the job. That's good news for the lucky turkey, but not much help for the many nonviolent first offenders languishing in federal prisons because, nine months into office, Obama has yet to exercise his presidential pardon power.After quoting more from the Chronicle, Berman concludes this way:
As regular readers know, I am a lot more than a "little bit disappointed" about President Obama's failure to make any use of his historic clemency powers. The Obama Administration has obvious spent a lot of time and a lot of political capital seeking to ensure that suspect terrorists at GITMO get treated fairly, but it has yet to find the time or the inclination to make even a single symbolic gesture toward justice or mercy for the thousands of low-level non-violent federal defendants who can make a strong case for clemency attention. Perhaps someone needs to start a new advocacy campaign with this slogan: "President Obama, justice and mercy should not only be for terrorist and turkeys."

The plot thickens!
It still fascinates me how regions of the earth have been reached and populated by humans. Particularly, I am curious how humans 'conquered' the islands of the Philippines. Curious because it says where I, a Filipino, and the rest of Filipinos came from.
I've written two blog posts about this topic already (here and here). Let me first summarize what I think are notable points in these studies. The first post is about the diversity of mtDNA in the Philippines by K. A. Tabbada et al [1]. In that paper, they said that the Philippines was populated mostly via Austronesian expansion (~5 000 years ago) but they found out that there is also an ancient lineage that links the Filipinos to people in Near Oceania and Australia (whose founder age they estimate to be ~47 000 years ago). They point out that "there is evidence of substructuring within the lineages which means there is a pattern of long-term in situ evolution."
The second post I wrote is about the human Y chromosome (NRY) diversity in the islands [2]. In that study, the authors obtained results similar to the mtDNA analysis such as the Austronesian expansion and a founder lineage. Moreover, they were able to connect different Filipino ethnolinguistic groups to different groups outside of the Philippines. Three things are clear in that study: 1) there is genetic diversity even within Philippine populations (even within negrito groups), 2) there is no simple distinction between negrito and non-negrito groups, and 3) there are recent and ancient connections to the people of neighboring countries including Near Oceania and Australia.
Now, a recent paper in the European Journal of Human Genetics studied complete mtDNA of 14 ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines [3]. They have found out that different groups posses different genetic make-up and that these different genetic make up is caused by different waves of migration that are both recent and ancient and an in situ diversification. These conclusions are similar to the first two papers but what I find striking are the reporting of a direct Indian migration to the islands and the suggestion that every ethnolinguistic group has unique genetic history.
The Indian-Philippine link is noteworthy. The presence of these haplogroups that connect the Filipinos and Indians have NOT been observed in other Southeast Asian groups. AetaZ and Agta groups which posses these haplogroups, "seem to demonstrate a direct mtDNA link between India and the Philippines." How did the people from South Asia travel to the Philippines without passing through the rest of Southeast Asia? Maybe other regions in Southeast Asia are undersampled?
Another reason why it is remarkable is that it says that the timing of this migration to the islands is in between the initial colonization and the Austronesian expansion. The timing of migration also coincides with a similar migration of South Asians to Australia [4].
There is more to look forward to. The authors said, "although the NRY and mtDNA landscapes of the Filipino population are now described, these genetic systems are just two loci and specifically reflect respectively, male and female genetic histories. A more comprehensive view of Filipino diversity and history can still be sought through genome-wide variation."
I will be waiting for your results eagerly!

Build Comments
As these vertical CF plates are integral to the design, we have kept the tolerances as tight as we can. Accordingly, some sanding of the tabs for the vertical plates may be required to fit into the slots. Please avoid oversanding for a sloppy fit. Always include the vertical plates and bumpers in your build, they are a key structural design feature.
The battery strap MUST go around the entire frame body and not just the top plate. This is a key design feature which clampts the two plates togther with the vertical plates. We recommend the longer BOLT battery straps (30cms) for this reason.
Recommended Components
All electronics, wiring, motors and props are not included and can be purchased separately. Please note that this quad is specifically designed to take a 25mm mini cam (eg. HS1177) or the micro version.
Some suggested components with details of these items available on the specific product pages:

The Lust List: The Ultimate Holiday Party Clutch
December 19, 2012 by Cori Sue
Is there anything that makes a woman feel more feminine that red lipstick, high heels, and a sequin clutch? I'd venture to say no.
I thoroughly believe—and revel in—dressing up for any and all occasions. Whether it's heels and a bright frock for a cocktail party or lots of baubles and a hair bow over an over-sized sweater and leggings at brunch, I'm a firm believer in a daily dose of glam.
I mean, there are plenty of downsides to being female: cramps, Spanx, bikini waxes, and 75 cents to every man's dollar, to name a few. So, we may as well take pleasure in the distinct feminine attributes: high heels, lipstick, pink, bows, glitz, and glam. After all, there are plenty of things a lovely lady can get away with that a man can't.
I spent this Holiday season decked out in sequins, form-fitting cocktail dresses, red lipstick, glittery polish and more. So what's different between this year and last? I've traded my gold Kate Spade shoulder bag in for this season's hottest handbag: the box clutch, or minaudiere.
The minaudiere is not a new handbag trend: Ladies have been carrying them to galas for the better part of a century—think early 1900s. Judith Leiber has been making her tiny bejeweled boxes, which cost thousands of dollars and are worn by New York's high society, since the 1960s. Leiber's minaudieres gained notoriety when Carrie Bradshaw carried a tiny bejeweled cupcake by Leiber on Sex and the City.
What's different is that this season they are affordable, with designers like Diane von Furstenburg and brands like C Wonder putting out affordable versions. So, if you're looking for a cute accessory to buy yourself for Christmas or to carry to your New Year's Eve soiree, opt for one of these minaudieres.
Mine fits red my iPhone, red lipstick, ID, credit card and an emergency $20. I leave the rest to the handsome gentleman in the tux beside me.
Diane von Furstenberg Tiffany Minaudiere, $345, Nordstrom.
Milly Lola Clutch (in gold or silver), $325, Bloomingdale's.
Serpui Marie Divine Glitter Minaudiere with Tassel, $220, shopbop.
Serpui Barie Barbarella Minaudiere, $209, shopbop.
Sequin Minaudiere (in gold, black or navy), $78, C. Wonder.

Trendy Tote
Summer's It bag proves painted faces aren't just for kids. The Prada totes, designed by Paris-based illustrator Jeanne Detallante, are a favorite with celebs like Dakota Fanning, thanks to candy-colored handles.
Prada "Saffiano" satchel, $4,100 at neimanmarcus.com.
Magic Sunnies
Hypercolor, the 1980s shirt that changed shades as you sweated, was disturbing, if not disgusting. But Thermicolor technology is finally put to cool use with Italia Independent's sunglasses: They go from black to fun patterns — polka dots! the Union Jack! animal prints! — as you heat up in the sun.
I-metal thermic frames, $227 at italiaindependent.com.
Crustal Kicks
The ultimate in high-low style?
Sneakers worthy of a night on the town. And Pharrell Williams' pair take the cake: old-school Adidas Stan Smiths (a fashion crowd fave) encrusted in bling.
Gasoline Glamour, commissioned by Swarovski to create his sneaks, accepts custom orders ($1,000 to $4,000) — not cheap, but whatever makes you "Happy."
Makeup Queen
Summer just got a whole lot moodier thanks to Lorde's buzzy cosmetics collaboration with MAC. Channel your inner "Royal" with Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapidblack ($19.50) and the singer's signature moody deep plum lipstick ($16) — aptly named "Pure Heroine," just like her platinum-selling debut album.
Once a faux pas, head-to-toe prints — like Rihanna's tropical-patterned Zoe Karssen get-up — are now 100 percent in. Stars like Rachel Bilson and Beyoncé are also coordinating their couture. It's a match made in heaven!
Pink Hair
The latest celeb hue du jour has us tickled pink. Rihanna went for a cotton-candy wig, while Rumer Willis and Kesha adopted more permanent rosy outlooks. Color us impressed!
Bucket Hats
Harking back to the Kangol toppers once beloved by LL Cool J, RiRi donned a floral version by Joy Rich ($53 at joyrichstore.com).
Designer spins are popping up at Kenzo and Acne Studios, but they're available at a reasonable price on asos.com and at Urban Outfitters.
The Thinking Girl's Style Icon
She may be an attorney, but one wouldn't know it from her wardrobe. Amal Alamuddin — who managed to beguile George Clooney — dresses more like an off-duty model than a buttoned-up barrister.
Whether donning a minidress with quirky mismatched pumps or printed denim and lace crop tops, she has potential to usurp the biggest street-style stars. And we can't wait for the wedding dress!

The Boise State football coaching staff didn't need much of a sales pitch when it came to landing a commitment from Billy Bowens of Redlands East Valley. Their players did a pretty good job of that.
Bowens, a 6-foot-1, 175-pounder who excels at wide receiver and defensive back, announced today that is the school he plans to attend come next fall.
Bowens says he has a cousin that went there. He also spent considerable time talking to long-time friend Alexander Mattison, a San Bernardino High School graduate who is a sophomore at the school.
"It's nice having people you know and trust that can give you advice," he said. "It's a great community and the people there are friendly and love their teams. I knew that's where i wanted to be."
Boise State was the only "official" trip for Bowens, although he had also been to Arizona and Arizona State on "unoffical" trips.
Other offers came from Brigham Young, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawaii, New Mexico State, San Jose State, Nevada and Utah State.
"I thought about maybe taking some other visits but I really liked it there," Bowens said of his trip to Boise State on Oct. 20. "I didn't think I needed to go anywhere else. They say when it is right you have that feeling and I really did feel like it was the right place for me.."
Bowens excels on both side of the ball but is going to Boise State as a wide receiver. He has played in nine of 10 games, missing the game against Upland because of a concussion sustained the previous week. He has 36 catches for 769 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He also has nine kickoff returns for 311 yards for the Wildcats (6-4), who open the CIF Southern Section Division 2 playoffs on Friday at Cathedral.
He is undecided on a major.

WWE is teasing an upcoming "corporate makeover" for Daniel Bryan, who will likely beat John Cena for the WWE title in less than three weeks at Summerslam.
The question here is whether WWE will do this "corporate makeover" before or after he presumably wins the title.
I think the smartest thing to do would be to do the "corporate makeover" after he wins the title.
However, WWE has already teased to it.
And, since no one is supposed to know whether Bryan will beat Cena in less than three weeks, WWE is forced to do the "corporate makeover" next week or the week after on Raw.
I don't like this idea.
Bryan's character is defined by his beard and his hair. Cleaning him up isn't going to help his character. It's only going to hurt his character.
Sadly, there's no choice now.
As for the rest of Raw…
Vince McMahon and Daniel Bryan chat. REACT: OK, so McMahon doesn't want John Cena or Bryan as champion? I guess we're back to heel McMahon. Wow, Bryan continues to be over with the fans.
The Shield beat The Usos/Mark Henry. REACT: Solid 6-man match. Surprised how much the faces dominated, and Henry chasing off all three heels was very surprising.
Ryback bullies guy in catering. REACT: Isn't there a WWE bully initiative?
Long video package of The Wyatt Family, followed by Kane looking for them and being told by Brad Maddox to take things out on Bryan. REACT: Smart.
Rob Van Dam beats Fandango by countout. REACT: Good match, but a countout?
Kaitlyn beats AJ Lee. REACT: Just an OK match, but a strong finish with Kaitlyn winning by spear. AJ snapping again, after going crazy on Big E Langston before this match, was OK by me.
Dolph Ziggler beats Big E Langston by DQ. REACT: Good match between these two, until yet another no decision. I didn't care for the AJ run-in and more of AJ going crazy.
Bryan calls out Cena backstage. REACT: Bryan's character needs to believe in himself.
Christian beats Alberto Del Rio. REACT: Shocker. Strong steel step spots and a tornado DDT by Christian. Good match.
Cody Rhodes beats Wade Barrett. REACT: Nice match pace, followed by an OK Damien Sandow promo calling Rhodes' a carney from a circus.
Daniel Bryan beats Kane. REACT: Kane would be the No. 1 contender had he won? Really? Quiet crowd with the two faces, but it picked up when Bryan went on the offensive. I'm fine with the rollup finish. I didn't care for Kane choke-slamming Bryan, but he needed a pick-up before taking a beatdown by The Wyatt Family. I liked Kane going after Bray Wyatt right away.
Brie Bella beats Natalya. REACT: Lots of rest holds slowed this match. Liked the duck call sounds by Nikki Bella for the distraction win.
Curtis Axel beats R-Truth, I assume, by DQ after the CM Punk run-in. REACT: Nice match pace before the run-in. I liked Punk going after Axel and then Paul Heyman.
John Cena beats Ryback in a tables match. REACT: Typical tables match. I liked Ryback crawling under the ring, the standoff at the table, the steel stairs pose-down and toss and the 5-knuckle shuffle on the steel steps. I also liked the push for Bryan-Cena with Bryan holding Cena's belt and Cena snatching it back.
ANALYSIS: Didn't really realize it until later, but this show had two Divas matches. Any wonder about whether WWE is pushing its Divas show? I thought most of the matches delivered. In fact, one could say this card had mostly pay-per-view type matches on it. However, I wanted more decisive winners (not countouts and DQs). Nothing really was off the charts this week. GRADE: D+.
"Match of the night" and "match of the year" mentions continue going the way of Antonio Cesaro. REACT: Push this man, will you?
