Many Genes Play a Role in Educational Attainment, Enormous Genetic Study Finds
Finding the genetics of IQ is still in its infancy but results are coming in
In the largest genetics study ever published in a scientific journal, an international team of scientists on Monday identified more than a thousand variations in human genes that influence how long people stay in school.
Educational attainment has attracted great interest from researchers in recent years, because it is linked to many other aspects of people's lives, including their income as adults, overall health and even life span.
The newly discovered gene variants account for just a fraction of the differences in education observed between groups of people. Environmental influences, which may include family wealth or parental education, together play a bigger role.
Still, scientists have long known that genetic makeup explains some of the differences in time spent in school. Their hope is that the data can be used to gain a better understanding of what educators must do to keep children in school longer.
With a fuller understanding of the influences exerted by genes, scientists think they will be able to better measure what happens when they try to improve a child's learning environment.
The new study, published in the journal Nature Genetics, finds that many of the genetic variations implicated in educational attainment are involved in how neurons communicate in the brain.
A striking number are involved in relaying signals out of neurons and into neighboring ones through connections called synapses.
The findings are based on genetic sequencing of more than 1.1 million people. But the subjects were all white people of European descent. In order to maximize the odds of discovering genetic links, the scientists say they needed a very large, homogeneous sample.
When the team tried to use these genetic variants to explain differences in schooling time among African-Americans, the predictions failed.
The researchers also found that genes don't have a uniform effect: The influences of the genes varied from country to country. The researchers could not pinpoint the cause of these differences.
But if educators in one country emphasize memory over problem-solving in math classes, for example, then some gene variants may provide a bigger benefit to some students than others, the scientists speculated.
A truly global understanding of these genetic influences will require similarly huge studies of people of other ancestries, the researchers said.
The data cannot be used to predict educational attainment in any particular schoolchild. The researchers cautioned that the genetic patterns are seen only in large groups; in each child, genetics will play only a small role in how long she stays in school.
"It's not really meaningful for individuals," said Aysu Okbay, a geneticist at Vrije University in Amsterdam and a co-author of the new study.
The first glimpses of genetic influences on education attainment came in the 1970s. In the era before cheap DNA sequencing, researchers studied families.
Identical twins, who share the same set of genes, tended to have more similar track records in school than did fraternal twins, researchers found. Later studies that compared siblings to half-siblings, or to siblings adopted into different families, also confirmed a modest genetic influence.
In the early 2000s, a few social scientists tried to confirm links between particular genes and schooling, but their efforts largely failed. One of the most important reasons was the small size of their studies.
In 2011, Daniel J. Benjamin, a behavioral economist at the University of Southern California, and his colleagues launched a large-scale expedition into human DNA. They formed the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium to bring together information on thousands of subjects.
The researchers piggybacked their educational research on medical research. When people volunteer for a genetic study on, say, blood pressure, they often fill out questionnaires about various aspects of their lives. One of the most common questions is how much education they've had.
By 2016, Dr. Benjamin and his colleagues had studied nearly 300,000 people and had linked 71 gene variants to education. But then two major developments in DNA testing helped the team greatly expand their research.
Recently, a genetic database called UK Biobank was launched in Britain. Some 442,183 of those genetic profiles were added to the consortium's study. And after 23andMe scientists began sharing information about customers who volunteer to be part of scientific research, the team included 365,538 of those profiles.
Studying the DNA of these people, Dr. Benjamin and his colleagues found a number of genetic variations that were unusually common in people who finished a lot of school, and others that were more common in people who left school early.
Often, the scientists weren't able to rule out chance as the explanation. But 1,271 of these variants were linked so tightly to schooling that they could not be dismissed.
Still, the association between each gene variant and education was very weak. When the researchers compared groups of people with or without a particular variant, their average time in school differed only by days.
The researchers scanned the DNA surrounding these influential variants and found an intriguing pattern.
"They're not just randomly scattered around the genome," said James J. Lee, a behavioral geneticist at the University of Minnesota and co-author of the new study.
The variants are linked to genes active in the brain, helping neurons to form connections. A key to educational attainment may not be how quickly information is acquired, but how quickly it can be shared between various regions.
"Maybe it's not about how fast a signal can zip along a cable," Dr. Lee said. "It's about the complexity of the connections between point A and B."
But the genetic links suggest another, perhaps stranger possibility: Some variants linked to education work not in the brains of students, but in the people they inherited the variants from — their parents.
By somehow shaping the behavior of parents, these variants may alter the environments in which children grow up in a way that helps or impinges on time spent in school.
Based on their findings, Dr. Benjamin and his colleagues figured out how to calculate a genetic "score" for educational success. The more variants linked to staying in school longer, the higher an individual's score.
The researchers calculated a score for a group of 4,775 Americans, ranking them into five groups. The researchers found that 12 percent of people in the lowest fifth finished college. Among people in the top fifth, 57 percent finished college.
A similar result emerged when the scientists looked at how many people in each group had to repeat a grade in school. In the lowest fifth, 29 percent did, while in the top fifth, only 8 percent did.
But when Dr. Benjamin and his colleagues calculated scores for African-Americans, it failed to predict how well different groups had done in school. One likely reason is that genetic markers aren't reliable guides to how genes influence traits in different populations.
Dr. Benjamin and his colleagues hope to grow their study to 2 million people or more, and expect to find thousands more genes linked to education.
He and other researchers plan to carry out other studies on behavior based on gene profiles of one million people or more.
Indeed, the latest study is just the newest in what promises to be a tide of huge genetic studies. Research on insomnia based on 1.3 million people, for example, was posted to an open access website earlier this year. A number of similar studies, each involving over a million people, are moving toward publication.
"It's all going to happen really fast," said Dr. Benjamin.
Jewish school in UK criticised for redacting 'bare wrists' from books
A state-funded Jewish faith school has been classed as inadequate after Ofsted inspectors found teachers and school governors heavily censoring books and pictures, deleting references to reproduction and child protection helpline contact details.
The inspection of Yesodey Hatorah senior girls' school, a voluntary-aided school catering to the Orthodox Chasidic Jewish community in north London, revealed that the "vast majority of texts" in the school library had been censored or redacted, while inspectors were told by staff that the school would not allow pupils to visit the Tate Modern.
The report said large sections of GCSE English textbooks had been deemed as inappropriate by staff and removed or redacted.
"In addition, texts such as Sherlock Holmes have had sections of text redacted. In science, pupils are not permitted to study animal or human reproduction, and other areas such as global warming are restricted. Leaders do not fulfil their statutory duty to provide sex and relationships education," the inspectors reported.
In the library, "staff had systematically gone through every book to blank out any bare skin on ankles, wrists or necks", the inspectors found.
The school's leaders "were unable to explain the origin of the detailed policy on redaction, or who decides what is redacted in texts across the school".
The report's conclusions, which came despite findings that pupils were happy and safe at the school, drew an angry response from the chair of governors, who accused Ofsted of having a "secularist agenda" that put faith schools in an impossible position.
Jewish leaders have previously complained that Ofsted has targeted Jewish faith schools, with a number of independent Orthodox Jewish schools being described as inadequate or deregulated, resulting in their probable closure.
Although inspectors found the school's policies were supported by parents, Ofsted was highly critical of the lack of careers advice provided for pupils and for potential safeguarding issues.
"Leaders deliberately restrict pupils' access to advice and guidance about how to keep safe in the world, including the redaction of helpline numbers from books. This prevents pupils protecting themselves, because they are unable to seek independent, confidential advice if required," the report said.
During the inspection the school agreed to display NSPCC helpline numbers in the pupils' toilets.
Inspectors noted that "pupils have no opportunity to compete in inter-school sport, participate in events or visit universities".
A spokesperson for the Department for Education (DfE) said: "This report raises significant concerns. The regional schools commissioner will work with Yesodey Hatorah and its governors to find an appropriate solution to ensure rapid improvement. This includes the potential academisation of the school."
Yesodey Hatorah is the latest state faith school to fall foul of new regulations requiring pupils to be prepared for life in Britain, including respect for other faiths and ethnic groups, introduced after the 2014 panic over majority-Muslim state schools in Birmingham.
The Ofsted visit was sparked after Humanists UK, a secular campaigning group, published details of the school's censored textbooks this year, including removing a reference to homosexuality from a section on Nazi beliefs.
A private Chasidic boys school in Stamford Hill, Getters Talmud Torah, was deregistered by the DfE this year, after inspectors found the school failed to teach any secular subjects other than maths and English.
Yesodey Hatorah's leadership had previously dismissed the redactions as part of a long-established policy to "protect our girls from sexualisation in line with our parents' wishes and religious beliefs".
But after the latest report, Theo Bibelman, Yesodey Hatorah's chair of governors, said: "We were appalled at the way the Ofsted inspectors treated our staff and students and we have made that clear. It seems that unless we agree with the secularist agenda of Ofsted [in] London we cannot comply with their inspection criteria," Bibelman said.
"This inspection was never about us, it is about Ofsted using their unfettered powers to try to force faith schools to comply with their agenda or fail."
A spokesperson for Ofsted said: "Faith schools are entirely at liberty to teach the tenets of their faith on social issues. However, they must also comply with the law and ensure that pupils are properly prepared for life in modern Britain. The vast majority of faith schools see no tension in doing this."
The school was also unhappy that Ofsted appeared sceptical of Yesodey Hatorah's record of above-average results in GCSE exams.
Inspectors noted that "the majority of teachers are unqualified and many are inexperienced" and said that for some year groups "restricted curriculum, redaction of texts and pupils' limited access to information hinder their learning and progress".
Inspectors also criticised poor handwriting and incomplete work, as well as a lack of progress in spelling, punctuation and grammar. "Examination results reflect higher standards than those seen in books," the report stated.
Australia: All public schools will be FORCED to offer girls the option to wear pants instead of skirts as part of a 'new modern makeover' of uniform policy
Girls will be offered the option to wear pants or shorts instead of skirts and dresses at every public school as part of a statewide 'modern makeover' of uniform policy.
NSW Education Minister Rob Stokes this week scrapped a 24-page school uniform document in favour of a new two-page policy, The Daily Telegraph reported.
While it had previously been at a school's discretion to allow girls to choose their uniform, the new policy will make it mandatory to offer a shorts or pants option.
'Parents asked for a better policy and I am proud to provide one. It is important to remember families need to have access to the most affordable uniforms possible,' Mr Stokes said.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian supported the move, noting that in her school days there was no uniform option for girls. 'The new modern makeover makes uniforms practical and comfortable for students, with affordability for parents front and centre,' Ms Berejiklian said.
The move brings the state's uniform policy in line with Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia - and promises to protect working families against rising costs. Queensland schoolgirls will be offered the choice to wear pants or shorts from 2019.
'In today's day and age, there should be no reason why shorts and pants aren't made part of the school formal uniform,' the state's Education Minister Grace Grace told ABC radio earlier this year.
That move followed the decision in September which declared girls at all Victoria state schools would no longer be forced to wear dresses and skirts.
Education Minister James Merlino said at the time the changes made 'common sense' and that schools had to provide options 'as far as practicable'.
'It's a relatively minor change to ensure that our expectation is that every school does provide the option of shorts and pants for girls,' Mr Merlino told 3AW.

Love the library book sale! Can get new stuff cheap, good stuff, even cheaper than Babbits which I also love. And I can donate those books that just didn't melt my bubblegum. I didn't know about Dickens daily writing, can you share more?

My daily book blog started with everybody reading Dickens, not his. He can start his own book blog.
Really, he probably did write every day. Look at how prolific he was, the darn guy!!

Kathleen, does it count as reading if you are listening to a book on CD?
- March 17, 2010 at 9:09 AM
- Kathleen said...
Etta, it uses different parts of the brain.
It's OK by me if you listen to books!
But in this blog, because of the state of reading in our word, and how it affects our ways of thinking and connecting our thoughts, I am asking people about what they are reading in print, and why.
And I am also interested, and will ask now and then, what print magazines people are still reading and what subscriptions they maintain.
I subscribe to The Sun, Harper's, and Vanity Fair, an odd mix, plus various literary magazines. I try to subscribe for at least a year to every magazine that has taken one of my poems, as a way of showing support. I can't afford to subscribe to them all, but I usually order at least one sample copy if I am not subscribing...

Canada and Quebec
One Country, Two Histories: Revised Edition
UBC Press
Relations between Canada and Quebec have never been easy. Beginning with the Conquest and working through the many political permutations before Confederation and since, there has always been conflict between the two governments and, in particular, between two points of view. The rebellions of 1837-8, conscription, the Quiet Revolution, language laws, the FLQ crisis and endless constitutional wrangles such as Meech Lake are just a sampling of the issues that have divided the nation. The cast of characters has been fascinating, too: Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, Robert Bourassa, and Rene Levesque have all played centre stage. In the wake of a razor-thin majority for federalist forces in the referendum of 1995, the issue of separation continues to be complicated by the division of the huge national debt, the possibility of further territorial partition within a separate Quebec, the rights of First Nations people, and the spectre of separatist movements in Eastern Europe in recent years.Through interviews with a wide variety of politicians, journalists, and academics, Robert Bothwell skilfully weaves together a coherent account of the relationship between Canada and Quebec. We hear from Jean Chretien, Sharon Carstairs and Ovide Mercredi; Lise Bissonnette and Graham Fraser; Michael Bliss and Ramsay Cook; and many more. The text is an absorbing collage of personal accounts and considered opinions, one that acquaints us with the many different facets of this complicated yet crucial question: how did Canada and Quebec get to this impasse, and where do we go from here?
RELATED TOPICS: Canadian History, Canadian Politics, History, Political Culture, Political Science, Quebec Studies, Regional Studies
Robert Bothwell is a professor in the Department of History at the University of Toronto. He is the author of numerous books, including Canada and the United States: The Politics of Partnership (1992); with J.L. Granatstein, Pirouette: Pierre Trudeau and Canadian Foreign Policy (1990); and, with Ian Drummond and John English, Canada, 1900-1945 (1987) and Canada since 1945: Power, Politics and Provincialism, 2nd ed.(1989).

Okay, we really don't talk like that, but when the siblings get together (brother included), we have a tendency to revert, much to my mother's disgust & dismay.
So when one of them visits & stays with my mom, I rush on over so we can have a big, goofy sleepover. Oldest sister (Nana) visited in January, & Sista G (frequent commenter on my blog) came this weekend with her husband. We played, we frolicked, we sang, we danced.
Okay, not really, but we had a good ol' time. A night at the movies (The Taking of Pelham 123 - very exciting), seafood 2 nights in a row, teasing my mother, what could be better?
In keeping with the picture of oldest sister in January, here is middle sister & BIL (brother-in-law):
BIL pouted that I didn't get his best side, so . . .
During some of the mind-numbing fun we were having, we happened upon this store . . .
. . . at the beach. It, uh, definitely lives up to it's name, but I wonder about the people who eventually will buy some of this stuff (if they ever do) . . .
(Now, about that guy on the right, "Is that a drum you're beating or are you just happy to see me?")
And lastly, I found this one truly disturbing. Seriously.
Why would anyone want to hang this anywhere?
While they were here, the wind was kicking up something fierce.
Looking out from my mother's hovel on the bay, it is usually calm as a bathtub, like this:
Why, if one opened one's windows and closed one's eyes when one went to bed,
one might have been fooled into thinking that it was the Atlantic ocean lulling them to sleep by making all that noise.
I love nature pictures. Can you tell?
Ooh ooh, and I tried some video on my camera at last, after owning it for 3 years.
Now let's see if I can figure out how to upload it.
[Ducking tomatoes thrown by certain person(s)]

This week, players from Leeds United Football Club have stepped up to show their support for Yorkshire's Be a Hero campaign, which aims to encourage more people in the region to sign the donor register.
On Tuesday 4th August, the Be a Hero mascot joined the LUFC squad at their training ground in Boston Spa, to mark the Club's backing of the campaign, launched by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT) earlier this month to raise awareness of the 800 people currently on the transplant waiting list in Yorkshire.
The campaign has had an overwhelming response from Yorkshire residents and well-known personalities since its launch at the beginning of July, receiving the backing of actor Sir Patrick Stewart, cricket legends Geoffrey Boycott and Joe Root, royal approval from the campaign's patron, the Duchess of York, and today, the announcement that Leeds United FC will be championing the cause.
One of the Clinical Leads for Organ Donation at LTHT, Dr Simon Flood, explains: "It's extremely exciting to have Leeds United FC on board. We're very hopeful that with the support of the Club and their loyal fans, more people in Yorkshire will come forward to sign the donor register and ensure that those individuals waiting for a transplant in our region have a brighter future."
"Last year, just over 100 people in Yorkshire donated an organ after their death and while these amazing individuals provided 294 lifesaving transplants, sadly there are still approximately 800 people in Yorkshire waiting for an organ."
Leeds United FC player Sam Byram commented; "We feel very strongly about supporting this important campaign. The circumstances surrounding organ donation have affected, and continue to affect, so many families and communities in our region, and we are pleased to be able to do our bit to raise awareness of the number of people on the transplant waiting list in Yorkshire and hope many people will be touched by the Be a Hero campaign and sign the donor register".
Scott Wootton, Leeds United FC player added; "It takes just two minutes to sign the donor register. We hope that fans will join us in supporting the Be a Hero campaign and ensure that many more lives can be saved in our communities. I'm sure if any of us needed an organ then we would take it, so why not be willing to give one if it came to it too."
The Leeds Transplant Centre at LTHT has been providing complex specialist organ transplantation services for the Yorkshire and Humber region for over 25 years. It is the third largest liver transplant unit in the UK, a leading centre for 'live related' transplants and a regional centre for renal transplants.
You can find out more about organ donation and join the NHS Organ Donor Register at www.leedsth.nhs.uk/be-a-hero or by calling 0300 123 23 23 – please remember to reference the Yorkshire 'Be a Hero' campaign.

Jump Start™ – Natural Appetite Stimulant (neonatal nutrition)
Jump Start Plus is a natural, holistic appetite stimulant for pets, specially formulated to get newborns up and nursing fast. It is your first answer to improving the immunity in the newborn, especially with puppies and kittens that are slow to nurse and for large litters. Jump Start Plus protects the newborn while on the ground and because it gets them nursing in a very short time, it allows for optimal utilization of the mother's antibodies.
It happens all the time: new born animals develop problems with poor absorption of colostrum, insufficient mother's milk, poor digestion, infections and slow growth. Ensuring that the mother is capable of passing on all the necessary substances is crucial to the healthy development of the newborn. Recognizing these preventive measures are not always possible, Jump Start Plus was developed to minimize developmental problems during the first hours of the newborn's life.
Jump Start Plus provides premium colostrum, essential nutrients and critical direct fed microbials (probiotics). Thus breeders now have a tool to enhance survival and promote optimum response. This is critical for optimal health and growth.
Jump Start Plus can also be used to "kick start" the immune system and GI tract for pets that have been abused, are suffering from malnutrition or recovering from surgery or illness.
Jump Start Plus is packaged in an easy to use 32ml dial-a-dose syringe.
Feeding Instructions:

Has the world ever known a more compellingly eccentric cultural outlet than the fringes of Los Angeles television in the 1970s and 80s? For the most part a realm of false prophets, unhinged crackpots, desperate pitchmen, and Cal Worthington, its airwaves also occasionally carried the thoughts of important minds. Take, for instance, the appearances on the public-access cable programs Psychic Phenomena: The World Beyond and Quest Four: The Fourth Dimension of none other than prolific architect-theorist-inventor Buckminster Fuller. You can watch both together, and thereby get an overview of the then already octogenarian Fuller's life and ideas in a fairly unusual context, in the videos of the Youtube playlist above.
On both programs, the first of which aired in 1979 and the second in 1983, Fuller sits across from Damien Simpson. The founder of an organization called the Universal Mind Science Church, Simpson seems to have spent his life as something of a seeker. After time in the seminary, he lived for a period in a monastery under a vow of silence.
In the years after starting his own church, he hosted new-age television and radio programs whose guest lists included, according to his bio, everyone from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross to Dennis Weaver. But Simpson clearly considered Fuller the catch to beat them all, more than once likening himself to "a kid in a candy store" as he revels in his chance to converse with the man who thought up the geodesic dome and much else besides.
Born in the 19th century, usually dressed in a suit and tie, and constantly working on the development and application of ultra-practical ideas, Fuller hardly projected the image of a 70s new-ager. Yet he and the audiences of shows like Psychic Phenomena and Quest Four shared more than a few habits of mind. Fuller, for instance, insisted on always considering the world as not a collection of nations but one whole system (one he memorably labeled "Spaceship Earth"), an example of "holistic thinking" in the truest sense. He also believed, as he spells out in these interviews, that humanity faces an existential "final examination," a test of our collective intellect and will to determine whether we can bring about an era — quite literally, a new age — of peace. It will demand much of us, he tells Simpson and and his viewers all across Los Angeles, not least our naiveté: "Dare to be naive. That's the only way you'll ever learn anything."

Lives of the Necromancers
In this annotated edition of a forgotten classic, William Godwin shows how the wealthy, powerful, and educated few exploited the people's credulity to satisfy their own will to power.
William Godwin's Lives of the Necromancers was an exceptional libertarian author's most unusual book. Exposing all things occult, Godwin takes us from the mists of ancient existence to the dawning of modernity. Throughout the ages, there have been those who would keep knowledge secret, monopolizing its power for their own aggrandizement. Those wealthy, powerful, and educated few who could best exploit the people's credulity could best satisfy the will to power. Christianity and Renaissance combined to break the knowledge-monopolists' power and occultists gradually became relegated to the ranks of court astrologers, advisors, fever-brained mystics, and peripatetic hucksters. Godwin leaves readers with a confident assertion that witchcraft has left the world, dispelled by the light of science and reason. Modern readers, however, will no doubt leave this volume wondering—Who are our Necromancers? What wonders might they be keeping from us? And to what end?

Centralized Trust Based Secure Routing in Wireless Networks
Centralized Trust Based Secure Routing in Wireless Networks
Wireless networks are vulnerable to various network attacks. To cope with these security issues, trust-based routing schemes have emerged. Typically, trust routing schemes are mainly focused on detection of packet drop attacks, because this type of an attack is simple and obviously a malicious behavior. However, there are more advanced attacks, such as, false trust reporting or compromised attacks, where trust-based routing to defend these attacks is more difficult because of their ambiguous behavior. In order to ensure data transmission reliability even against such attacks, in this letter a centralized trust based secure routing (CSR) scheme is proposed for wireless networks. Simulation results show that the CSR scheme provides a better performance compared to the ATR and SPR schemes.

''Timebomb'' is Beck at his best
Beck returns with a fantastic new single. Plus: Check out music from Wyclef Jean, the Hives, and others
"Timebomb" is Beck at his best
BECK, "Timebomb"
The days when Beck reinvented himself from the ground up with each new release are long over — not necessarily any great loss, as much fun as those early records often were. His new stand-alone single extends the mature groove he found with 2005's Guero and last year's The Information. Paranoid chants and bright bleeps, washed-out chords and crisp rhythms come together in a pleasantly disorienting whirl. Beck's figured out exactly what he does best, and he's doing it better than ever. (Buy it on iTunes)
JESCA HOOP, "Intelligentactile 101"
This NorCal newcomer's debut CD, Kismet (out Sept. 18), comes with an elliptical endorsement from no less a musical legend than Tom Waits, whose children she once nannied: "Jesca Hoop's music," he offers in a press release, "is like a four-sided coin." (Sure, Tom, whatever you say.) Hoop shares some intriguing imagery of her own on this standout track, where she crows about "swinging from the stars/On an umbilical cord." What does it all mean? With a melody this bewitching, you might not care. (Download it from her management company's site)
WYCLEF JEAN FEAT. AKON, LIL WAYNE, & NIIA, "Sweetest Girl"
The Fugees are often credited with paving the way for the last decade's alt-rap and neo-soul movements ? yet Wyclef Jean's oft-dismissed solo albums have proven just as influential in the long run. Just take his 2001 hit "Perfect Gentleman," which pretty much furnished the blueprint for Akon's and T-Pain's recent run of vaguely Caribbean synth-pop/hip-hop/R&B songs about strippers. Akon graciously returns the favor by guesting on Wyclef's latest contribution to the form; Lil Wayne shines, as always, on his verse ("She used to be the sweetest girl ever/Now she's like sour amaretto"); and young R&B prodigy Niia Bertino caps it all off with some background cooing of her own. (Stream it from AOL Music)
THE HIVES, "Tick Tick Boom"
No one's ever accused these Swedes of overthinking their music. Five years after they made their big U.S. splash with "Hate to Say I Told You So," here's frontman Howlin' Pelle Almqvist shouting yet another unstable-sounding catch phrase while the rest of the band punches away at one of the same two or three garage riffs that have turned up on every single one of the band's previous songs. Still, there's something endearing about the Hives' reluctance to switch up their formula, and before you know it, they've crashed their way through yet another quick-and-dirty tune without wearing out their welcome. (Buy it on iTunes)
THE SECTION QUARTET, "Time Is Running Out"
Linda Perry's written and produced massive hits for Pink and Christina Aguilera, among others. Her latest pet project? Producing the new album from this L.A.-based chamber group, who perform classical string arrangements of familiar rock and pop songs. Her options were limited here ? it's not as if she could tell the quartet to up the distortion on their unadorned orchestral instruments ? but Perry's famed ear somehow triumphs once again. This Muse cover, to pick one highlight, plays up the original's overblown prog bravado to a tee. Who needs guitar solos when you have a wailin' viola? (Buy it on iTunes)

Hi Applied Arts,
I'm back from SOVA's Year-End Exhibition—and what an exhibition! The students' work was remarkable. They may be just starting out in the art world, but their work consistently displays an uncommon maturity. It was a great pleasure to acknowledge their creativity by handing out some well-earned certificates.
Now that I'm home, here are a few updates from the dean's office:
- CAQC Site Visit: It's finally official! The dates for the CAQC organizational-level site visit are June 22 & 23. I think we're ready for this next step towards granting our first independently offered degree.
- Climate Change Policy Promo Material: Our Climate Change Policy program now has some sharp-looking promo material, in both electronic and hard-copy formats. If you're heading out to conferences and/or articulation meetings this spring and think there might be an opportunity to plug this new program through your networks, please contact me, Victoria Castillo or Katrine Frese, and we'll hook you up.
- INAC Funding for Health Care Assistant delivery in Haines Junction: Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada have offered us $250k in funding to run an onsite delivery of HCA in Haines Junction. We had declined the same funding last fall for a host of reasons I won't get into here. This time around things look more promising because Champagne-Aishihik First Nation are interested in contributing around $50k more to the project. Lots of details still to be worked out, but I remain optimistic about this initiative.
- Collective Agreement: I see from Michael Hale and Mike Barwell's joint message on Friday that the College and the Union are planning to go back to the bargaining table. I encourage you to stay engaged in the process as it unfolds.
- YNTEP Coordinator Search: The hiring competition for a 2-year term coordinator/faculty advisor for YNTEP continues. Thanks to Mark Connell and Davida Wood (FNI) for putting in the time necessary to review and discuss applications. Hopefully, we'll have a decision shortly.
- Meetings With YG About SOVA: I'll be back to Dawson in a little over a fortnight (there's your archaic diction for the day) to meet again with representatives from YG about SOVA. Early in April, reps from SOVA's three Governance Council partners (YC, Tr'ondek Hwech'in, and the Dawson City Arts Society) met with Minister McPhee to discuss strategy. The follow-up meeting is booked for May 15th.
- New Practical Nursing Clinical Instructor: I'm assuming the usual College-wide introductory message will be going out soon, but I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome our new PN clinical instructor, Carrie Huffman, to the team.
- Convocation: Don't forget about Convocation! The event takes place on Friday, May 19th. There will be just one reception this year, in between the two ceremonies. If you are able to be there, please consider gowning up and sitting on stage to support our graduates.
- Learning Commons Renovations: We've had the big funding announcement—now the work begins. Over the spring/summer months, please be patient as renovations take place at Ayamdigut. That might be a tall order amid the still-on-going building envelope work, but it's still important to support fellow employees—especially folks in ITLC—throughout the disruptions.

GREECE isn't the only country giving investors the jitters.
While Australia's challenges pale in comparison to those currently plaguing the debt-laden European nation, they are still spooking foreign investors who are taking their money out of our share market and running.
According to the national accounts, released this week, foreign investors sold $1.9 billion of Australian equities in net terms in the March quarter. This compares to the December quarter where they bought $28.5 billion of equities.
Economists believe foreign investors - the bulk of whom come from the US and increasingly Asia - are seeing Australia as a risky option for their cash due to concerns over our minority government, to interest rate rises and the carbon tax.
"Foreigners are losing patience with Australia," Commsec chief economist Craig James said. "They are looking at the mooted carbon tax, the potential mining tax, as well as other things like the floods and cyclones and thinking it all looks a bit risky Down Under. That is the major reason we saw foreign investors selling down their shares.
"You get things like the ash cloud which is delaying flights and then the NBN deal, which caused our major stocks like Telstra to slump and you can just imagine from a vantage point a long way away that they are looking Down Under and saying there is a lot going on and not a lot of it is positive."
Concerns about a two-speed economy and the housing market are also scaring off overseas investors, according to AMP Capital chief economist Shane Oliver.
"There has been a lot of commentary from overseas that foreign investors are worried house prices here will drop and that that would adversely affect our banks and consumer spending," he said.
"What also worries them is that a minority government means less certain policymaking. "On the carbon tax, they are concerned it could be implemented in a way that may adversely affect Australian mining or coal companies compared to say mining companies in other countries or that it may be too heavy-handed and adversely affect the economy."
Mr Oliver said the jitters from foreign investors had contributed to the Australian share market under-performing global markets of late.
"Global shares have had a correction of about 7 per cent whereas our market has had a correction of around 10.5 per cent," he said.
"You have this messy global backdrop, but because Australia has its own issues our market has come down a bit more than global markets."
Mr Oliver said investors had been playing Australia more through the high dollar than the share market.
Foreign investors upping sticks was a wake-up call to the federal government, particularly on the carbon tax front, Mr James said.
"We still don't know any details for the carbon tax," he said. "The government wants to implement this by July next year . . . so they need to come to decisions.
"The longer the uncertainty continues . . . the more at risk investments will be and more foreign investors will stay away."

Just engaged? Started searching for a wedding photographer or filmmaker? It would be a honour to celebrate it through my wedding photography. For the last few years I got lucky to be witness of the most beautiful and emotional moments at weddings. I even got ask to board abroad and travel with the family. What I like most is to capture the whole day so I don't miss a moment. Just send me an email for the opportunities and hopefully I can make a special memory for the both of you!

In an infinite number of parallel universes, parallel versions of a supervillain will commit or attempt the same crime simultaneously only to be foiled by parallel versions of the same superhero. Is there a good argument for trying the villain once and applying the verdict interdimensionally? I think so, and in this post we consider the application of the res judicata doctrines of issue preclusion and claim preclusion to the Multiverse.
Many comic book series do not occur in a single, isolated universe but rather in a host of parallel universes, alternate dimensions, and Bizarro Worlds collectively referred to as the Multiverse. Crossovers aside, both DC and Marvel series occur within their own respective multiverses. For the sake of reference, the various parallel universes in these multiverses are numbered. For example, the 'normal' world is Earth-616 in the Marvel Multiverse and Earth-0 or New Earth in the DC Multiverse. There are an infinite number of such parallel worlds, most differing only in comparatively slight respects (e.g. the victory of the Axis powers in Earth-10; all of history up until that point was essentially the same). So that's the Multiverse. On to the law.
Ordinarily, courts only like to consider a given issue or claim once. This is done out of consideration of judicial efficiency, cost reduction, and finality. The Supreme Court recently summarized issue preclusion thusly: "once a court has decided an issue of fact or law necessary to its judgment, that decision…preclude[s] relitigation of the issue in a suit on a different cause of action involving a party to the first case." San Remo Hotel v. San Francisco, 545 U.S. 323, 336 n.16 (2005).
The Court summarized the distinction between the two doctrines in another case: "Claim preclusion generally refers to the effect of a prior judgment in foreclosing successive litigation of the very same claim, whether or not relitigation of the claim raises the same issues as the earlier suit. Issue preclusion generally refers to the effect of a prior judgment in foreclosing successive litigation of an issue of fact or law actually litigated and resolved in a valid court determination essential to the prior judgment, whether or not the issue arises on the same or a different claim." New Hampshire v. Maine, 532 U.S. 742, 748-49 (2001). The Court has also applied claim preclusion to criminal cases. United States v. Oppenheimer, 242 U.S. 85 (1916).
So what does this have to do with the Multiverse? Consider Lex Luthor, plotting a dastardly scheme to stop Superman's meddling once and for all. As is so often the case, his plot will be foiled, and he will be brought to justice. But Lex would have attempted the same plot in an infinite number of parallel worlds which differed only in ways that were immaterial to the plot and its prevention. In the interests of cost savings, judicial efficiency, and finality, should the various Lex Luthors not be tried once, simultaneously, for all of them, both for criminal charges and civil claims brought against them?
The intuitive answer would seem to be yes, but there is a complication. Which jurisdiction should be favored? Or perhaps the better question is which jurisdiction should be forced into it, since that jurisdiction alone will bear the cost of the proceedings; it is not in any jurisdiction's interest to volunteer. But given the potentially infinite number of candidate jurisdictions, a random choice doesn't make sense either: how can you fairly pick a number between 0 and infinity?
I think the solution is an Interdimensional Court of Justice, which would hear significant cases that would be too onerous for any one world to bear the cost of hosting or in which there would be a large efficiency gain in hearing the case only once. A world that wished to have its version of a supervillain included in a case would chip in to help fund the IdCJ. Since there could theoretically be an infinite number of such worlds, each world would only need to contribute an infinitesimally small amount. Of course, coordination might be a problem. In practice however, there only seem to be a few dozen parallel universes of any significance in the DC and Marvel multiverses, which makes the coordination problem much more manageable.

And then there was one.
With the defeat of the NDP government of Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter on Tuesday, the number of provinces ruled by Canada's New Democrats now consists entirely of lonely Manitoba.
That's bad news unto itself, but the story gets even worse when you consider just how bad the NS Dippers lost. In 2009, Mr. Dexter was elected to a majority government with 31 of the provincial legislature's 52 seats; on Tuesday he plummeted to third place with a pitiful seven.
As many wags cruelly noted, it was the first time in 131 years any incumbent Nova Scotian premier had not been given a second term. But if the outcome was unprecedented it was hardly surprising -- in the lead up to Election Day, Dexter's public support hovered in the mid-teens, a fact that made his landslide defeat undeniable even when correcting for the notorious unreliability of Canadian election polling.
A similar story is unfolding elsewhere across the country, at least according to the good people at Angus Reid. That lone NDPer running Manitoba is monstrously unpopular, with an approval rating only marginally better than Premier Dexter's (26 per cent), while in British Columbia and Saskatchewan -- the two provinces where the NDP forms the official opposition -- both New Democrat leaders badly trail the incumbent premiers.
Everywhere else, the NDP sits a distant third, including the federal polls. A Forum Research survey released last month found only 21 per cent of Canadians were "decided or leaning" towards voting New Democrat in the next national election, while a recent Nanos poll saw Thomas Mulcair earn the lowest public rankings for "vision" and "trust" among Canada's big three party leaders.
Why are the NDP's numbers so perennially poor? Well, the troubled reign of Premier Dexter may provide some insights.
Like most Canadian elections, Nova Scotia's 39th general was fought primarily over economic issues. It's a fight the NDP is consistently unable to win, and Dexter's record certainly didn't make the battle any easier.
During his four years in office, the Premier's approach to repairing his province's recession-ravaged economy consisted mostly of pouring enormous bushels of taxpayer cash into the already well-stocked pockets of big business, including a $300 million handout for the Irving Corporation -- one of the most infamous icons of Maritime plutocracy. As a make-work initiative, it fizzled; Nova Scotians actually lost jobs by the thousands under the NDP, while a two percent hike in the HST further tightened the squeeze on a people who, by some metrics, are already the country's most-over taxed.
Millions of dollars in new spending, meanwhile, produced four back-to-back budget deficits (some of which ended up being larger than publicly reported due to sloppy accounting) while net debt reached a record high. Pro-union reforms to the Nova Scotia labor code were blamed for scaring off private sector investment at a time when the province could have desperately used some.
Was it a uniquely ghastly first-term performance from a party that had never previously been trusted with power? Perhaps not. It's certainly easy to argue economic mismanagement of the Dexter variety is a disease that plagues administrations of all partisan stripes in this country (though when your opponents start throwing around the slur "worst performing economy in Canada" you've probably crossed a threshold), and it's not like the NDP invented tax hikes or deficits.
Yet the unfair reality remains that by virtue of their party's radical anti-capitalist past and confused kinda-socialist-kinda-not present, New Democrats automatically carry the heavy burden of being persistently least-trusted by the general public to run a modern, free-market economy. Which makes the need to scrape up a stereotype-defying, fiscally impressive counter-example NDP government, somewhere, anywhere, all the more crucial.
It's really a vicious cycle. The NDP is too economically incompetent to attract members from the broad mainstream of Canadian economic life -- business owners and entrepreneurs and so forth -- and yet because it fails to attract members from society's economic mainstream, it remains fiscally incompetent.
NDP governments are forced to stick social workers and union bureaucrats in charge of their finance ministries, while other parties hire economists and retired CEOs. It doesn't go without saying that the latter are always the better choice, of course, but when the NDP's already guilty-until-proven-innocent on fiscal matters, the symbolism of having no friends in high (or even low) finance matters a lot.
Likewise, even when it isn't, NDP economic mismanagement in any province the party rules is always remembered as being far worse than the economic mismanagement suffered at the hands of Tories or Liberals or whoever because it fits into our preconceived notions of what to expect from a gang of bumbling socialist misfits.
The judgement is that much harsher because the audience is that much more skeptical. So long as elections across this country are primarily fought over pocketbook issues, a party with a reputation for economic illiteracy -- deserved or merely perceived -- is one with an almost insurmountable handicap.
When Thomas Mulcair campaigns for prime minister in 2015, he'll be pleading for voters to place his party in charge of Ottawa's finances at a time when (assuming things unfold predictably in Manitoba) Canadians from coast to coast will have just finished saying they don't trust his party to manage the books in any provincial capital. That's not a great base of trust from which to build.
"Just look at our record in Nova Scotia" was never a particularly compelling pitch. But now they don't even have that.

Why Elite & Therapeutic vs Traditional Schools?
Elite Boarding Schools are undoubtedly the best of the best. Parents wanting a more personalized leadership and growth opportunity for their kids will find that experience in an Elite Boarding School. These leadership academies and schools include the most in VIP private care. From Academic Tutors to Professional Coaches these programs offer the best in accelerated education courses and experiential learning. .
Elite Boarding Schools Are Different Than Traditional Boarding Schools
- Imagine a small community where everything is an experience and opportunity for learning. An atmosphere where you are being pushed and taught by professional mentors that have real-life expertise. Not just in their field but able to teach and work along side students with these skills. The Shangrila Learning Ranch is the premier location in the country for this type of education. It takes its place as an experiential leadership academy that works on 7 areas of an individuals life. Our P.R.O.M.I.S.E.™ Model focuses on the students
- Physical – Influence of your appearance and environment
- Relationship- Influence others and life
- Opportunity -Influence of your work and your time
- Mental -Influence of your mind and confidence
- Intimacy- Influence of love and affection
- Spirituality-Influence of a greater purpose in life
- Emotional- Influence of your well being and stability
This type of elite care is to provide individuals with life-changing, experiences in a learning environment. The scenic and majestic Shangri-La Valley is located at the footsteps of Southern Utah's Zion's National Park. Our private and secluded grounds is where you'll find tree covered walking paths along side flowing streams and fish-filled ponds which add to the natural habitat and feel. There are an abundance of indigenous wildlife, including swans, wild turkeys, geese, ducks, deer, and beaver as well. Horse stables and other domestic animals on site are used to accommodate our naturally flowing therapeutic activities. Our indoor gymnasium and outdoor basketball courts, as well as access to water activities, weight lifting/mma/yoga room, ensure that we have ample opportunities for fun & exercise. Gardening and fresh foods are gathered in season for all to enjoy. Our canyon based location makes this ideal for hiking and exploring the outdoors.
Therapeutic School Objectives
- We utilize the right balance of self-paced adventure and exploration paired with hard work and experiential activities.
Each child will have an individualized plan designed to enhance physical, emotional, and personal health and well-being. Your child will participate in creating healthy meals, daily chores and building self-confidence.
- Our family goal is focused on reuniting the family and strengthening relationships. Getting away from the busy day to day noise to the quite secluded environment so that all can focus on the same goal and purpose. We do this by helping each individual understand how to fulfill their important role in the family dynamics.
Our Leadership Program is ideal for families with youth who: are struggling to follow house rules, may be defiant, or have shown to be a potential risk to self or others. This is an alternative to a residential treatment program for youth that have less severe issues but still need help with managing problematic behaviors in the daily environment.
- As youth are asked to not have electronics initially. This is an ideal opportunity to deal with setting boundaries and rules. Additional assistance can be requested if youth are unwilling or disconnected with the family to the degree that the youth will not participate or would be unwilling to render up devices or travel to the destination and face the family concerns and issues. Please inquire for more information.

When our daughters were little we introduced the concept of quid pro quo to them, explaining that it was a fun way of saying "give a little to get a little."
We talked about it quite a bit and I was amazed at how early they understood that there is a balance inherent in all relationships and when we abuse it or take advantage of it, there are consequences we may not like. I don't remember the particulars of the conversation, but Daughter 1 cracked us up one night, telling us a story about her day and saying very seriously, "You know Mommy, like squid-po-po!" We finally figured out what she was saying, and from that day on it has been a family catch phrase. Coincidentally, this is the child who is growing up to be a lawyer!
What does "squid-po-po" have to do with raising respectful children? How can we use it to help keep a good balance through the different stages from caregiving to parenting to mentoring? These were part of a conversation I had today with my friend and new parent, Hjalmar, and here are some concepts and strategies I shared with him.
1. We are all a part of the family unit. The family has resources, time and energy in limited amounts and there has to be balance in the way these are used for the benefit of its members. Parents need to talk about this often and agree on the family policies. Some examples of resources I have touched on previously in this blog are cell phones and computers but the same truth applies to larger things like cars, time and energy.
If you buy a car for the use of your teenage driver, don't give them the keys and say, "This is yours." That usually isn't true. The family's resources have bought the car; it is usually paying for the maintenance, insurance and may even be picking up the gas. The child cannot have it in their name until they reach majority and so the parents are owners and liable. Therefore, it is actually a family car that you are allowing a family member to use. That use is a privilege and not a right, so present it as such and then you will not have any hesitation asking your teen driver to pick up something at the store or to do other helpful activities. Their cheerful willingness to help out will earn them more privileges, and that is the heart of "squid-po-po."
2. Time is a limited resource. Is one family member in need of more family time than another? Are you sacrificing your family's cumulative time for one member's sport or artistic activities? Consider finding a balance that everyone is comfortable with, even if it means curtailing an activity or coming up with alternative ways for it to be supported. Our family made a rule that each daughter could only have one extracurricular activity at a time, outside of school and church. They were clear that given a busy, active family, not all concerts, games, competitions, etc. would be attended by the whole family and that no one person's activity was allowed to dominate the family's resources. It was always very appreciated when they found proactive ways to spread our resources (car-pooling!) and that further illustrated the give a little to get a little principle. This turned out to be a very good policy for us, since our daughters sang, played instruments, played soccer and lacrosse and entered many contests.
3. Energy is your third and final finite resource as a family and it is not to be underestimated. It takes proactive behaviors to support family members in their activities and a considerable investment of energy. That needs to be appreciated by the family member receiving it, and sincere "Thank You's" are always welcome.
How do we, as parents, get sincere appreciation for our efforts? To begin with, we ask for it. When a child is not appreciative of your efforts, point it out with an "I" statement.
"When you slam the door and take off without saying thanks for the ride, I feel like you are taking me for granted."
If you do not say things like this when they are true, you are not doing your child any favors. You may foster a false sense of entitlement and even contempt in him or her.
Next blog post… Are you being a parenting martyr?

A damage dealer, also called DPSer, specializes in causing severe amounts of damage, at the expense of general utility. Most pick-up groups will advertise for damage dealers when forming, as in "Group needs two healers and a damage dealer!". In PvE, necromancers and elementalists are prime candidates for damage dealing and are often also called nuker as they usually deal large amounts of damage in an area. PvE damage dealers are usually relatively inflexible and fragile, due to the high energy cost of their skills and their lack of self-healing; thus, damage dealers usually sit in the backline of a party, so they can avoid taking damage themselves.
In PvP, damage dealers are often warriors, though theoretically any profession can take up on the role depending on the team composition. Damage dealers in PvP rarely nuke; they concentrate on spikes to take out enemies faster than their monks can heal them.

Among the different scenarios of New Physics, those with an extended Higgs sector are examined with a lot of attention. Recent experimental observations of several anomalies in flavour physics with respect to expectations of the Standard Model further motivate the effort of phenomenologists. First, informations about the RDs ratio, a test of lepton flavour universality equivalent to RD, already measured, but with the s quark as spectator, are awaited in coming years to constrain the corner of an extended Higgs sector with charged doublets. On another side, leptonic widths of pseudoscalar quarkonia are particularly interesting to test an extended Higgs sector with a light CP-odd Higgs boson singlet, through the study of its mixing with quarkonia states. Hadronic parameters entering those processes have to be determined from lattice QCD with enough confidence on the control of systematic errors. We report on the very first step of a long-term program tackled with Nf = 2 Wilson-Clover fermions to put relevant constraints on extensions of the Higgs sector: extraction of decay constants of D*s, ƞc, ƞc (2S), J/Ψ and Ψ(2S) with lattice ensembles provided by the CLS effort, considering 2 lattice spacings and a large range of pion masses to estimate cut-off effects and extrapolate results to the chiral limit.
