How to reach us
Forschungszentrum Jülich
Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-2)
Building 15.16
52425 Jülich
Navigation systems
In your navigation system, enter your destination as "Wilhelm-Johnen-Strasse". From there, it is only a few hundred metres to the main entrance – simply follow the signs. The Research Centre itself is not part of the network of public roads and is therefore not recognised by navigation systems.
By car
Coming from Cologne (Köln) take the A 4 motorway (Cologne – Aachen), leave the motorway at the Düren exit, and then turn right towards Jülich (B 56). After about 10 km, turn off to the right onto the L 253, and follow the signs for "Forschungszentrum".
Coming from Aachen take the A 44 motorway (Aachen – Düsseldorf) and leave the motorway at the Jülich-West exit. At the first roundabout turn left towards Jülich, and at the second roundabout turn right towards Düren (B 56). After about 5 km, turn left onto the L 253 and follow the signs to "Forschungszentrum".
Coming from Düsseldorf Airport take the A 52 motorway (towards Düsseldorf/Mönchengladbach), followed by the A 57 (towards Cologne). Turn off at Neuss-West, and continue on the A 46 until you reach the crossroads "Kreuz Wanlo". Take the A 61 (towards Koblenz/Aachen) until you reach "Dreieck Jackerath" where you should take the A 44 (towards Aachen). Continue as described in "Coming from Düsseldorf".
Coming from Düsseldorf on the A44 motorway (Düsseldorf – Aachen) you have two options:
1. (Shorter route but more traffic) turn right at the Jülich-Ost exit onto the B 55n, which you should follow for approx. 500 m before turning right towards Jülich. After 200 m, before the radio masts, turn left and continue until you reach the "Merscher Höhe" roundabout. Turn left here, drive past the Solar Campus belonging to the University of Applied Sciences and continue straight along Brunnenstrasse. Cross the Römerstrasse junction, continue straight ahead onto Wiesenstrasse and then after the roundabout and the caravan dealers, turn left towards "Forschungszentrum" (signposted).
2. (Longer but quicker route) drive until you reach the "Jülich-West" exit. At the first roundabout turn left towards Jülich, and at the second roundabout turn right towards Düren (B 56). After about 5 km, turn left onto the L 253 and follow the signs to "Forschungszentrum".
From neighbouring airports by train:
From Cologne Bonn Airport
From the railway station at the airport, take the S13 to Cologne main train station (Hauptbahnhof) and then continue with the regional express to Düren, or go to Köln-Ehrenfeld by regional express and then take the S12 to Düren.
Continue from Düren as described in "By train".
From Düsseldorf International Airport
From the railway station at the airport, travel to Cologne main train station and then continue on to Düren. Some trains go directly to Düren whereas other connections involve a change at Cologne main train station.
Continue from Düren as described in "By train".
By train:
Take the train from Aachen or Cologne to the train station in Düren. From here, take the local train ("Rurtalbahn" [RTB]) for Jülich and get out at the "Forschungszentrum" stop. To make sure that the train stops at "Forschungszentrum" you should press the request stop button (Haltewunsch) in good time after the "Selgersdorf" stop.

I put all my eggs into the narrative basket and lost.
In November, I managed to get 5 minutes and 37 seconds with Nick Johnson. I asked him questions and he answered. Together, we came to the conclusion that it didn't matter what the name of the sandwich he got at beyond bread was, but only that he enjoyed it.
When we pivoted to basketball, he had glowing things to say about the progress of Gabe York and the contributions – to his career – of Kyle Fogg. Nick is a bright and thoughtful kid. I thought I had a nice article brewing. And then I asked him about goals.
I like goals. I've played sports my whole life and we used to set them there. I have a job and we set them there. I have a life and I set them there. Goals, as it were, have a tendency to help us achieve things. Sometimes we don't always reach them, but so long as we try – we try real hard – we can't soon be called a loser.
That Thursday afternoon, when I asked Nick Johnson what his personal goals were, he told me, "Defensive player of the year." Immediately I wanted to text my brother. Holy hell! If Johnson was to be the best defender, then Arizona was surely to be the best defenders, and my goodness were they going to be good. Mid-interview, as a professional courtesy, I didn't text my brother.
But my excitement surrounding his remarks got me thinking that maybe I was sitting on something bigger than just a nice preview.
I followed the personal goals question by inquiring as to the team goals. "We want to win the Pac-12 regular season. And then on to the tournament, the Pac-12 tournament and eventually get to a Final Four. And then after…" Here's where he briefly paused. Then smirked. I think I was sitting calmly in my seat, if memory serves me correctly, but I cannot, confirm this. One can only hope that Johnson didn't notice the fandom oozing out my pores.
He was wearing a gray Nike Jumpsuit. It was simple, with navy shouldering, the block A, a swoosh, and a patch:
You can kind of see it, another A and another swoosh. But also on there was a year, 1997 to be exact, noted on the sleeve patch. That's the last and only time Arizona won a national title. After noting that his team was trying to get to a Final Four, I had an opportunity to jump back into the conversation.
My interjection, "You wanna put another patch on that jacket, don't you?"
He smiled again, the consummate team guy, and told me, "Everything will take care of itself." I thanked him for his time, we parted ways, and I texted every Wildcat fan in my phone.
But I never wrote the story. Like I said, I put this egg in the narrative basket, gambling everything would take care of itself, and it didn't. Or at least not the way that I had imagined it. Arizona never made that Final Four. They didn't even win the Pac-12 tournament. Nick Johnson was not your Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.
He was the Player of the Year. The conference's best player on their best team. He became an All-American and Wooden Award Finalist. I had asked Nick Johnson what his goal was and then I got to watch this kid obliterate that goal. That's just great.
And yesterday he declared for the NBA draft.
It's a decision I don't necessarily agree with but that's the opinion of the same guy who nearly texted everyone who knew while interviewing Johnson. A totally rational move (sarcasm font). We talked about his goals and he exceeded some with flying colors! He had about as complete a season as a college basketball player could have.
But similar to how it all changed on 2/1, Johnson's decision leaves us with a lot of 'what ifs' that will ultimately A) not be answered until at least November, and B) perhaps never be answered. Indubitably, Arizona would have had one of its most talented rosters the school has ever rolled out had Johnson stayed.
As it were, he's projected as the 20th PG or SG taken (second round) and the sixth Pac-12 player picked. Also to note, that same projection has seniors Shabazz Napier (1st round) and Russ Smith (2d round) picked ahead of Johnson.
Of course, there's this:
"He's not in lala land" — Miller said, about Johnson knowing he might not be a high pick.
— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) April 15, 2014
The kid could come back. This was a very tough decisions. But if we're going to premise this whole thing on goals, I think Nick sees his: the NBA. I also won't soon assume to know what back room conversations were had or promises made. I won't assume to know his rationale or decision making process.
What I can tell you is that I asked a kid about what he wanted to accomplish and then he bested that. Color me impressed. But that's nothing knew with how I've long perceived Nick Johnson.
"im not saying I'm a lottery pick, i know that, but one thing that stood out is that you're going to have to work for it" — Nick
— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) April 15, 2014
And I guess this is that strange, beautiful, awkward part of college sports. We know these players enter for a finite tenure. Nick Johnson isn't leaving to take Steinbrenner money. He isn't taking his talents to a superfriendship and breaking our hearts in Akron. Nick Johnson has had a goal to play at the highest level of the game he loves. How much can we really begrudge him this departure?
Yeah I selfishly want to see more of him in cardinal and navy. His presence would bring Stanley Johnson off the Wildcats' 2015 bench. Maybe he's leaving to be fair to everyone else? Like I said, I think there was more for him to accomplish in Tucson. And I wanted to cheer it, fulfill the narrative I had hoped would manifest.
But there's even more for him to accomplish outside of Tucson. He's off to do that.
Here's to hoping Nick Johnson keeps exceeding his goals.
And Arizona puts another patch on that jacket.

Col du Grand Colombier and Col de la Biche (map at bottom).
The heatwave/humidity and the steepness made this maybe the hardest ride of the year. The unexpected (and long) thunderstorm made it the (2nd) wettest ride of the year. 🙂
There are 4 ways up the monster Col du Grand Colombier. Today's route from Culoz is the second hardest, but the most scenic. For details on the +20% madness from Artemare, and details of all four sides see here.
From the very start, the open route winds up the mountain with great views of the Rhone river and Lac du Bourget in the distance. Fun.
The route just winds it way up steep hairpins:
Honestly, looking at the grade chart (which is pretty impressive), it still felt worse …. partly the heat, partly the uneven grade, partly because Eric makes it looks so easy, partly because I am weak!.
The route then enters the woods with some easier stretches and a long, very steep 3 km ramp – a full km @ 12%.
From June 2006: Probably the most famous climb in the Juras. There are four very steep ways up this monster. To become a Confrérie des Fêlés du Grand Colombier (translated: Brotherhood of Loons (freaks, crackpots) of Grand Colombier) one needs to climb all four in one day.
We survived and made it to the top. I tried to weasel out and just descend back – but Eric "motivated" me to continue with the plan and descend down the other side to loop back via Col de la Biche. If only we had looked over our shoulders at the nasty clouds arriving.
This west side is the "easy" side of Col de la Biche – we would descend the very challenging east side. I took a short short-cut with a crazy 18%-20% stretch to join the main road – wow – Eric heard me screaming in pain. And Biche can start FAR lower than the elevation chart – but today this was enough – and included all the very steep parts.
The 6 kms we climbed are nasty – especially in the unexpected thunder storm that began with the climb. Lots of thunder, no lightning (or I would be hiding in a ditch). 😉
Superman (Eric) who had ridden all the way from Geneva (an extra 90 kms or so to the loop) kept saying how refreshing the torrential rain was – while I whined about the thunder.
When we made the Col, Eric somehow thought that pouring rain meant no need to take a Col photo! Huh?
Still, he's a great cycling partner for many reasons, but most of all for never complaining about how slow I descend – and on a bumpy, steep, hair-pinned, wet, long descent, this was especially slow.
Amazing how one can feel near death from heatstroke and then shiver with cold – on the same ride. A classic example of a ride that would have been less fun on my own.
Cyclo tourists will continue to flock to places like Alpe d'Huez, Galibier, and Ventoux – and for good reason. But this area — with Mont du Chat just down the road (Le Cycle magazine called it possibly the toughest climb in France) — is filled with challenging, stunning rides on virtually deserted roads.

Focus On: The Amistad and John Quincy Adams
In January 1841, two of the Africans from the ship Amistad wrote letters, shown here, to John Quincy Adams--the man who
would soon defend them before the United States Supreme Court. Kale and Kinna, the two writers, thanked Adams for taking
the case and offered their encouragement and hope as he prepared the case. They also spoke of slavery, freedom, truth,
justice, and their homeland of Mendi (now Sierra Leone) in West Africa.
Kale and Kinna's journey from Africa to the U.S. capital had begun in 1839, when the captain and crew of a Portuguese slave ship
called the Tecora illegally transported some 200 slaves from West Africa to Cuba. In Cuba, a man named Don Jose Ruiz
bought 50 of the captives, including Kale and Kinna, for use on his plantation. Some historians believe Ruiz eventually intended
to sell the Africans in the United States. For this shorter journey, they were transferred to an American-built schooner, originally
called Friendship and renamed La Amistad by its Spanish-speaking owners. Before they had reached their destination, however, the
slaves rebelled and took over the ship. Taking advantage of the rebels' unfamiliarity with navigation, the Spanish prisoners tricked
them into steering towards the United States instead of returning to Africa. After two months at sea, the ship reached the coast of
Long Island, where the U.S. Navy intercepted it. As the 43 Africans waited in a jail in New Haven, Connecticut, their fates were
decided in the U.S. court system.
A Connecticut judge quashed charges of murder and mutiny, but the original Cuban buyers (Ruiz and a man named Jose Montes), the Spanish
government, and even officers of the U.S. Navy tried to claim the Africans as "lost property" or "salvage." At the same time, Roger
Baldwin (a distinguished antislavery attorney) and others argued that since the international slave trade was illegal the Africans were
free men. The Africans' lawyers seemed to have the better of the argument: they won a number of cases in the lower courts, but each time
the decision was appealed, due in part to pressure from Pres. Martin Van Buren, who feared the effect an acquittal would have on both
the South and the nation's diplomatic relationship with Spain. By 1840, the case had worked its way up to the Supreme Court and went
onto the Court's schedule for February 1841. In the meantime, John Quincy Adams began preparing for the case--with Kale and Kinna's
Adams and his colleagues succeeded. The Africans were declared free men and eventually returned to their native land.
The two letters from Kale and Kinna are part of the Adams Family Papers held by the Massachusetts Historical Society. The Adams papers
contain the vast majority of writings to and from John Quincy Adams and a number of items related to the Amistad case. The MHS
also holds some of the papers of Joseph Story, a justice in the Supreme Court trial of the Amistad, and the Noyes Family Papers,
which contains a detailed description of the case.

Are Latin American governments maximising the potential of fiscal policy as a development tool? This 2009 edition of the annual OECD Latin American Economic Outlook analyses the progress governments in the region have achieved in the fiscal realm during the last decade. It concludes that they could do much more to exploit the ability of fiscal policy to boost economic growth and combat poverty and inequality. In the current context of global financial turmoil, the relevance of fiscal management is more important than ever. This is essential reading for those who want to know more about fiscal policy in Latin America, its impact on development and the challenges that lie ahead.
Check out our Multimedia page
The link between fiscal policy and development
Latin American governments have not neglected fiscal policy as a macroeconomic stabiliser, but taxation, public spending and public debt management can also be deployed to reduce poverty and inequality. Transparent and progressive tax systems and high-quality public goods and services are signs of a healthy social contract and consequently assets for democratic legitimacy. The potential of fiscal policy to promote development and consolidate this democratic legitimacy is still substantially unrealised in the region.
Did you know?
Recent trends in Latin America's fiscal performance
Since the end of the debt crisis of the 1980s, Latin American governments have reduced deficits, lowered fiscal volatility, increased public expenditure and pioneered fiscal innovations. However, important problems remain: revenue generation relies on volatile non-tax sources and regressive indirect taxes, while public spending and social transfers play a very limited distributive role. The performance gap with OECD countries is still high.
Public debt, political cycles and capital markets
Latin American political cycles affect sovereign bond markets as investors worry about the effect of elections on debt management: investors fear an increase in public spending by incumbent politicians as well as the economic policies platforms of populist candidates. Although recent democratic consolidation and the development of domestic bond markets have eased the effect of politics on capital markets, sounder public debt management and information flows around elections remain a challenge.
Did you know?
During 1990-2006, fiscal expenditure increased by 0.7 GDP percentage points in Latin America during election years. In contrast, the public-spending impact of elections was essentially zero in OECD countries.
Tax revenues in Latin America
Fiscal revenues have increased in Latin America during the last decade, though countries' experiences vary within the region and most governments still strive to improve tax collection. In particular, too little revenue comes from personal income taxes and too much from regressive indirect taxes, which explains in part why tax systems do so little to reduce inequality. This pattern of public revenues is in large part the consequence of low average incomes and an unequal income distribution. ()
Fiscal policy and informality in Latin America
Informality is an important and persisting feature of Latin American economies. Informal workers are not all simply tax evaders: many are poor workers, excluded from formal labour markets and deprived of economic rights. Enforcement is essential, but simplified regimes that align the costs of formality with its benefits, together with the provision of social services to formal and informal workers on a more equal footing, can help Latin American fiscal systems to deal better with informality.
Did you know?
More than half of Latin American workers are not entitled to pension rights through their jobs.
Public spending and the quality of education
Social spending is rising in Latin America, but the region still needs to improve the quantity and quality of publicly provided goods and services. More money matters, but how that money is spent matters as much or even more. The OECD experience in areas where public spending contributes to development, such as education, shows that there is not necessarily a trade-off between performance quality and equity. Nevertheless, the policies that matter most for student learning are often under-emphasised in Latin America.

Ericsson is working on LTE with faster upload speeds, as well as using unlicensed spectrum to speed up downloads and customizing the technology for Internet of Things applications.
The Swedish telecom equipment vendor is showing off some of the developments at the CTIA Super Mobility conference next week in Las Vegas.
5G will likely be one of the hottest topics at CTIA, but LTE still has lots mileage left — after all, the first two letters stand for Long Term. And it's a lot easier to upgrade an existing network than roll out a new one.
One of the more contentious upgrades is using unlicensed spectrum for LTE. Detractors fear it will affect Wi-Fi performance, which uses the same frequencies.
To prevent that from happening, a number of methods are being developed to make LTE play well alongside Wi-Fi. At CTIA, Ericsson is demonstrating LTE-U (Unlicensed) Fair Sharing, which continually monitors the radio environment to determine the overall average channel availability.
The company is also showing LTE at speeds up to 600Mbps with the help of carrier aggregation and better signal encoding. Carrier aggregation, which is part of LTE-Advanced, allows networks to devote more resources to some users by treating two or more channels in the same or different frequency bands as if they were one.
Because of the amount of spectrum needed, not all operators will be able to offer 600Mbps.
The work that's been done to increase bandwidths has so far focused on faster download speeds. Using some of the same technologies, attention is now being turned to speedier uploads, as well.
Using carrier aggregation on the uplink along with improved encoding allows the bandwidth to be increased from 75Mbps to 150Mbps.
Users are becoming more dependent on cloud-based storage, and are also uploading bigger images and videos to social networks, so higher upload speeds will be welcomed.
However, future LTE networks are also being developed to work better with the Internet of Things. A new version called LTE Category 0 is much slower than current networks, but that's fine since most IoT apps don't need lots of bandwidth. The upside is that the cost of devices drops and battery lives can be extended to 10 years and more.
To show what's possible, Ericsson has teamed up with chipmaker Sequans to demonstrate a prototype network and device.
All the LTE upgrades are part of Ericsson's Networks Software 16A and 16B. They will be used on indoor and outdoor base stations and become available next year.

"Haptics" comes from the Greek word Hapesthai, meaning "the science of touch."
The world of haptics is expansive by definition. It is the field of science and technology dedicated to tactile sensation, and it has applications for everything from handheld electronic devices to remotely operated robots. Yet outside of the research and engineering community, it is a virtually unknown concept. "People don't even recognize the word 'haptics' yet," says Ralph Hollis, director of the Microdynamic Systems Laboratory. "You have to spell it for them."
In an age of digital devices that stimulate and amaze the eyes and ears with increasingly high fidelity, haptics has been employed mostly in relatively unsophisticated applications—rumbling video-game controllers and buzzers that alert you to a cellphone call. But as our digital tools have become more complex and capable, our interfaces with these devices are beginning to run into the limitations of sight and sound. "It's really only now that we're seeing a migration from keyboards and mechanical switches to touchscreens and touch-sensitive surfaces," said Immersion, a company that produces haptic interfaces. "We're losing that tactile feel that we had before, and now we're trying to bring it back."
Touchable Technology
Moving haptics out of the lab can be challenging. Tactile feedback in consumer electronics must be both convincing to the user and appropriate for the device. Broadly speaking, touch can be divided into cutaneous sensing through the skin surface (feeling the pebbly surface of a basketball), and deeper kinesthetic sensing from muscles and tendons (experiencing the impact when hitting a ball with a bat). But much of the recent haptic development in consumer electronics has focused on fooling the fingertips into feeling onscreen buttons that aren't physically there.
General consumers will first encounter haptics on these touchscreen gadgets and desktop controllers, but the most sophisticated touch technology outside of the lab is found in industrial, military and medical applications.

Getting Road Head And Bareback Breeding At A Truck Stop
If you guys haven't checked out Deviant Otter yet, you are going to want to hop on over there and check out all of their hot amateur gay bareback porn videos, featuring real men, not some silly porn actors. Most of the guys are true amateurs that they find by placing ads on gay hookup sites. This new video features one of the regular Deviant Otters who hooks up with one of buddies to check out the rest areas in Rhode Island on their quest for cock. As soon as the guys get in the jeep, the driver has his pants down and is getting a blow job from his buddy, right there in his open Jeep as he drives down the interstate. Who the fuck doesn't love road head? After some public road head, the guys pull off at a truck stop and start walking the trails in the back. They pass quite a few guys looking for dick, but they find a secluded spot away from the trolls. They pull their pants down and start sucking on each other's big fucking cocks. One of the guy's pumps out a nice load of cum for his buddy, but it starts to rain so they head on back to the jeep. Driving down the interstate again, the guys are still horny so they find a cheap ass motel room so they can breed. As soon as they get in their room, their pants come off and the bottom is getting his dick sucked. But, like all bottoms, they soon get bored of getting their dick sucked and want fucked in the ass. The top shoves his fingers up the other guy's hairy ass and then shoves his raw cock deep inside him and barebacks him in every position imaginable. The bottom eventually cums and then the top pulls out and shoots his load all over the bottoms gaping hole and then shoves the cum inside his ass by fucking the bottom some more. Fucking hot as hell!

Jabra shows 'world first' Bluteooth speaker-headphone combo
Gulls in flight may have stimulated sportscar door development, but they aren't renowned for inspiring consumer products. Until now. Jabra has taken note and developed a pair of Bluetooth headphones that also unfold into a pair of speakers.
Jabra's BT8030: first, a pair of headphones...
The BT8030 works with any Bluetooth-compatible music device, be it a mobile phone, computer or MP3 player, and allows users to wear the chunky cans as a pair of headphones to both listen to music and to take calls. There's an on-board microphone, and controls for handling calls and selecting songs are built into the device's sides.
...and then a speaker set
Users can unfold the headphones, opening them out to form a stereo party speaker. It's all made possible by the double-hinged design, which also incorporates an adjuster for different head sizes
Jabra claimed the device will provide up to 32 hours of music playback in headphone mode, falling to 26 hours in speaker mode.
The company is keeping mum on the BT8030's other details, but Jabra said it plans to get the product into shops by the end of the year, when it will retail for around £170 (€242/$342).

The see-no-Islam FBI: On the case against "violent extremism."
This week's syndicated column:
We have met the enemy and he is "self-radicalization." No, wait: We have met the enemy and he is the Internet. We have met the enemy and he is broadband video?
"But this is hard stuff," President Obama tried to explain in this week's press conference. "Because of the pressure that we put on al-Qaida's core, because of the pressure that we've put on these networks that are well-financed and more sophisticated and can engage in and project transnational threats against the United States, one of the dangers that we now face are self-radicalized individuals who are already here in the United States – in some cases, may not be part of any kind of network, but because of whatever warped, twisted ideas they may have, may decide to carry out an attack. And those are in some ways more difficult to prevent."
More difficult to prevent? Ridiculous. But this is also a disgraceful thing to say under these circumstances. What Obama describes is the Keystone-Cops-case because he decided, as a matter of "Muslim outreach," to shut his eyes to the motivation of such attacks – Islam, jihad, Allah's law (Shariah) – and ordered our security agencies and military to shut their eyes, too.
It is a fact that in concert with the Oct. 19, 2011, demands of an array of Islamic advocacy groups, including government-identified Muslim Brotherhood front groups (the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America, for example), the Obama administration subsequently ordered the "purge" of any training materials and trainers still teaching the history and doctrine of jihad at government security agencies and throughout the military. This unconscionable act of eliminating our first line of defense – in effect, shutting down national security's eyes and ears, and, worse, logic itself – is what accounts for the successful cycle of jihad that marks our era of decline. To be fair, it is not all Obama's fault. The current administration's see-no-Islam policy is an extension and amplification of the see-no-Islam policy initiated by President George W. Bush.
When a handful of House Republicans led by Michele Bachmann of Minnesota last summer raised the see-no-Islam "purge" and related issues with justified alarm, these remnant patriots in Congress were crucified as "Islamophobes" and scorned as lunatics. And now? No one in that Bachmann lynch mob (Obama administration, media and, profiles in courage, GOP leadership) wants us to put things together now. They don't want us to realize that those two vicious bombs that exploded in Boston last month might well have been prevented had Bachmann & Co.'s warnings been heeded.
How? On government order, the FBI doesn't know – can't know – that it is actually fighting Islamic jihad and Shariah subversion. The kind of review Bachmann hoped for could possibly have saved fact-based analysis at the FBI and related agencies. To grasp the stupefying impact of the see-no-Islam status quo, imagine the FBI of the Cold War era officially denying and suppressing the role Marxism played in animating subversives. No communist espionage rings would ever have been stopped.
Such blindness is the official rule today. An examination of the FBI's Counterterrorism Analytical Lexicon, which was published in 2008 at the end of the Bush administration, shows that the words "Islam," "Muslim," "jihad," "Muslim Brotherhood," even "al-Qaida" – all of which appear in the 9/11 Commission Report – have disappeared entirely from the lexicon of FBI analysis. Instead, agents must focus on the literally meaningless concept of "violent extremism." As if that's not mentally paralyzing enough, the FBI definition of violent extremism includes this: "An analytical judgment that an individual is a 'violent extremist,' 'extremist,' or 'radical' is not predication for any investigative action or technique."
Another way to view such a security shambles is to say, as the president did, that the FBI performed well in the run-up to Boston 4/15. "The FBI investigated that older brother," he said. "It's not as if the FBI did nothing. They not only investigated the older brother, they interviewed the older brother. They concluded that there were no signs that he was engaging in extremist activity."
This makes perfect sense – in the government's see-no-Islam world. FBI agents, operating by the book, might well have tagged Tamerlan Tsarnaev a "violent extremist," and then, also operating by the book, done nothing. Ka-boom. Having de-Islamized counterterrorism techniques, Obama could then say: "Based on what I've seen so far, the FBI performed its duties, the Department of Homeland Security did what it was supposed to be doing."
According to U.S. government's see-no-Islam policy, Obama is correct. In fact, for meritorious achievement leading up to the Boston bombing, special commendations for all U.S. security personnel up to and including Cabinet secretaries from Justice, Homeland Security and the Pentagon are in order. The Obama team effort may not have stopped terrorism, but it sure made Islam disappear.

Fans of the popular Expendables series got a treat when a handful of the cast and the director of The Expendables 3 showed up to sign autographs and greet fans. Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Kellan Lutz, and Director Patrick Hughes all signed autographs for fans at the Lionsgate booth during Comic Con. See The Expendables 3 in theaters on August 15, 2014.
In The Expendables 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team come face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables — but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables' most personal battle yet.

Accepting and Releasing Emotions - Keep Your Energy Balanced
Denying Your Feelings
Dealing with powerful emotions can be challenging, especially when we are going through chaotic, sad, or cruel experiences in our lives. Often, it can seem like we have only two options for dealing with our feelings so they don't become too overwhelming. We may let our feelings out in an immediate and visceral way, or we may bottle them up by suppressing our emotions inside our bodies. Most people make the second choice, repressing their feelings in an attempt to deny them. The truth is that there are many positive ways to deal with emotions, and experiencing your negative feelings doesn't have to constitute a negative experience. Denying your feelings is not only unhealthy for the mind and the body, but it may also rob you of valuable information you could be learning about yourself and your life. Suppressing your emotions can even impede your short-term memory. Acknowledging your feelings can help you better understand them and help you recover naturally from change, stress, and grief.
If you find that facing your feelings head on is proving too difficult during times of emotional distress, you may want to explore alternative ways of expressing them. Otherwise, the emotions you deny could morph into unconscious anger or self-hatred. Expressing your thoughts to friends or family can be helpful. If you don't feel ready to share them, try giving them words by writing down what you are feeling. Give whatever you are feeling simple words like "livid" or "angry" or "excited" You can also funnel your feelings into a creative outlet, physical exercise, or chores. Even just accepting and speaking your feelings out loud to yourself can be a healing release. In releasing intense emotions, it is most beneficial to acknowledge the feelings, allow yourself to feel them, and let the feelings go. Those who are willing to experience and release their feelings without judgment also find that their lives become less stressful. Breathing deeply, going for a long walk, or doi! ng a constructive task can help you respond to your feelings in a healthy way.
While burying negative or uncomfortable feelings can numb the pain, it also may inevitably dull your ability to experience your more positive and pleasurable feelings. You may find yourself afraid to open up in the future for fear of getting hurt. The feelings we deny aren't limited to anger and sadness. Suppressing our happiness or excitement can be just as unhealthy. In learning how to express your intense emotions in a healthy way, you are giving yourself the freedom to fully experience the more joyful emotions that come with being alive.

'Downton Abbey' as SNES video game: Fluff those pillows!
Up to the challenge of finding lost cigars and picking out a bouillon spoon from a lineup? Then the imaginary Super Nintendo version of "Downton Abbey" is for you.
It's fun to sit around and play "What if?" What if Google acquired Microsoft? What if Superman and Spider-Man made a movie together? What if "Downton Abbey" were a Super Nintendo game? We have a pretty good answer to that last question.
YouTube user Bill Kiley posted a video showing what the imported PBS megahit would look like as an SNES game. It comes complete with an insanely catchy digital ditty that's perfect for the SNES period. As a new footman at Downton, you're faced with a myriad of tasks that come fast and furious.
First, you have to find the Earl of Grantham's misplaced cigars. Then, you must investigate a possible poisoning in the kitchen. Later, the head housemaid, Anna Bates, demands you push "L" and "R" as fast as you can to fluff pillows for the guests.
There's a cutlery identification challenge that most people in the world would fail miserably at. The aristocracy continues to boss you around, sending you off to locate the Dowager Countess's hidden jewels. A mock-up image of the fictional game box calls it "tastefully exciting."
Comments from "Downton" fans on the YouTube page are fairly effusive. One viewer even declares it to be better than the movie "Titanic." It seems like the legions of Downton fans would pay good money to play this game, me included. Are you listening, Nintendo? I want to fluff some pillows with a game controller ASAP.

The Redefinition of Fatherhood Demands New Public Policies
June 14, 2012
Jeremy Adam Smith is the author of The Daddy Shift: How Stay-at-Home Dads, Breadwinning Moms, and Shared Parenting Are Transforming the American Family. He is web editor at Greater Good, and co-editor of the books Are We Born Racist? and Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood.
In anticipation of Father's Day, the International Museum of Women put together a gallery on "the changing role of the modern dad," which includes a global facts and figures, a three-minute video on how mothers around the world view fatherhood, a documentary about stay-at-home dads in Hungary, and profiles of fathers in South America and Africa. They also invited me to contribute an essay on why and how fatherhood has evolved in North America. This was originally shared on the Berkeley Blog, and reposted on Beacon Broadside in honor of Father's Day.
In 1946, when my grandfather mustered out of the army and married my grandmother, he set up what looked like the ideal family at the time. His wife quit her job and he started work driving a crane in a quarry—a job he would do for the next forty years, working up to six days a week, sometimes 12 hours a day. When I asked him if he faced any challenges raising his three children, he replied, "I never did. My wife took care of all that. She brought the kids up." This arrangement came with a rigid hierarchy: "She worked for me," said my grandfather of his wife. "I always said, 'You work for me.'"
By the time my mother and father met in 1963, the same year that Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique, more and more people were starting to question this division of labor between men and women. The following year, the United States Congress formally abolished sex discrimination at work. I was born in 1970. "I wanted to be closer to you than my father was to me," my dad told me when I interviewed him for my book, The Daddy Shift. "I wanted to participate more in my kids' lives." Even so, my parents never questioned for a moment that he would make most of the money and she would change most of the diapers.
By 1988—the year I graduated from high school—only 29 percent of children lived in two-parent families with a full-time homemaking mother. And like many Baby Boomer couples, my parents split in 1991—the same year I met the woman who is today my wife. By the time we became parents in 2004, my wife and I were stepping into a family landscape that was totally different from the one my grandparents faced in 1946.
For one thing, we never assumed that one of us was the natural breadwinner and the other a natural caregiver—instead, we saw those as roles that we would share and negotiate over time. For a year, I took care of my son while my wife went to work, and as we visited playgrounds, I met many other dads who took care of their kids while their female partners were at work.
This personal reality reflects one that has been empirically measured. For almost every decade for the past 100 years, more and more women in the United States have gone to college and work. For most of the past three years, men have been much more likely to lose their jobs than women, who are concentrated in fast-growing, high-skill industries like health care and education. Between 2009 and 2010, men with college degrees saw their median weekly earnings drop three percent while the income of women with degrees grew by 4.3 percent. Today, young women's pay exceeds that of their male peers in most metropolitan areas.
Not coincidentally, fathers now spend more time with their children and on housework than at any time since researchers started collecting comparable data. I call it "the daddy shift" — the gradual movement away from a definition of fatherhood as pure breadwinning to one that encompasses a capacity of caregiving.
The right-wing "family values" movement has painted these trends as a crisis, but no one I know experiences them that way. Instead, we seem to share a positive (if often unarticulated) vision of the family as diverse, egalitarian, voluntary, interdependent, flexible, and improvisational. Many people hold these ideals without necessarily being conscious of their political and economic implications—and they're not making politically motivated choices. In researching The Daddy Shift, for example, I didn't interview any breadwinning moms and caregiving dads who adopted their reverse-traditional arrangement for feminist reasons. They almost always framed their work and care decisions as a practical matter, a response to brutally competitive labor and childcare markets.
Indeed, I don't believe that a political force like feminism has driven men and women to share roles more equally; it seems more accurate to say that feminism has tried to teach people to personally adapt to broad, deep economic and technological changes that made equality more possible and desirable—and the movement has fought for public policies that would support our new roles at home and at work.
Rising inequality and economic instability has meant that many families can't afford specialists anymore, with one focused on career and the other exclusively on taking care of the family. And so couples are moving from a family model that prioritizes efficiency to one that tries to build resilience in the face of economic shocks. In the ideal resilient family, both women and men are capable of working for pay and working at home.
But families often fall short of this ideal, partially because of lingering structural and interpersonal sexism, and partially because men lack support for their new caregiving roles at both home and work. Studies consistently show that 80 percent to 90 percent of mothers still expect fathers to serve as primary breadwinners (and very few will consider supporting a stay-at-home dad). At work, only seven percent of American men have access to paid parental leave, among other structural limitations.
How can the daddy shift continue? The to-do list is long. It includes an education campaign to help men of all social classes understand what workplace and public policies can help them be the fathers they want to be — and legal campaigns that will defend their jobs against backward attitudes at work. Men whose mindsets are still shaped by the sole-breadwinner ideal need explicit permission and encouragement from both their female partners and their bosses to take advantage of leave policies and participate in family life.
We also need to shift the language we use to discuss work-family issues in a more inclusive direction, so that it includes fathers as well as mothers. That language should stress resilience and meaning to men instead of the language of equality that has mobilized women. In the end, it's up to guys to tell the stories of our lives and speak up for what we want. No one will do it for us.

Chris Lamb
Professor Chris Lamb (died August 2009) was appointed director of the John Innes Centre in Norwich, UK, in 1999. He was also the John Innes professor of biology at the University of East Anglia. He was previously regius professor of plant science at the University of Edinburgh for 9 months and, before that, professor and director of the Plant Biology Laboratory at The Salk Institute for biological studies in La Jolla, California, which he joined in 1982.
Lamb took up the post of director of the John Innes Centre in October 1999, taking over from the JIC's acting director Mike Gale. His extensive experience of working with the industrial sector as well as substantial experience in dealing with private foundations were amongst his attractions. A BBSRC press release at the time noted his "extensive experience of knowledge transfer issues and of managing the interface between academic research and the commercial sector". Professor Ray Baker FRS, the Chief Executive of the BBSRC, was similarly quoted as saying that Lamb had "an excellent track record" in "exploiting scientific know-how in applied and commercial projects".[1]
Akkadix and John Innes Centre
The JIC's annual report for the year 2000-2001 states that amongst its continued building of collaborative links with industry is "Notably, Akkadix, an international gene discovery and functional genomics company".
Lamb, whose research interests include the genetic engineering of plant disease resistance, co-founded Akkadix, based in San Diego, California.
A press release from Akkadix of 2000 said that an agreement had been reached between Akkadix and the John Innes Centre for a "'targeted' activating tagging research program for gene discovery in the areas of disease resistance and plant natural product biosynthesis", stating:
- Under the agreements with the John Innes Centre and the University of Edinburgh, the programs will be supported by Akkadix for an initial period of three years, and may be extended thereafter. Developments arising under the program will be available to Akkadix to license.[2]
A letter to the editor published in Nature Biotechnology (2003) said that Lamb was co-chair with Roger Beachy of the scientific advisory board of Akkadix, "which also funds the John Innes Centre (Norwich, UK), of which he is the director".[3]
However, in a letter of 13 February 2009 to GMWatch's Jonathan Matthews, the JIC's head of communications Catherine Reynolds states, "Akkadix has never funded work at JIC." The letter does state that Lamb owned shares in Akkadix at the time he took up his directorship at the JIC in 1999 but adds:
- his shareholding was declared and mechanisms for scrutiny put in place by the Biotechnology & Biological Science Research Council and JIC.[4]
Akkadix was one of many biotechnology companies that was reported in the San Diego Union-Tribune as having "faded from the scene" when the San Diego biotech bubble burst in the early 2000s. The JIC's Catherine Reynolds says the company folded in 2000-2001.[5] Reflecting on the tendency of biotech companies to disappoint investors, the San Diego Union-Tribune referred to "The demise of Epicyte [Pharmaceutical]" as "the latest casualty for the region's fledgling agricultural biotechnology industry, which just five years ago appeared to hold considerable commercial promise." The article blamed "A consumer backlash against genetically-modified food, along with high-profile industry blunders" such as the StarLink GM corn contamination scandal, which "helped nip investor enthusiasm in the bio-engineered bud."[6]
Letters in defence of GM
Lamb has been keen to defend GM crops, regularly writing letters to journals and newspapers. He and Roger Beachy were among 18 co-signatories of a letter to Nature Biotechnology[7], which attacked an article critical of GM crops. Lamb was subsequently identified as amongst at least 11 of the signatories with undisclosed ties to companies that directly profit from the promotion of GM crops. Like Lamb, at least 4 of the co-signatories had direct links to Akkadix.[8]
When the development charity ActionAid published a critical report on GM crops in May 2003, Lamb sent virtually identical letters of complaint to The Independent and The Guardian. Although Lamb would have appeared to most readers to have been simply an independent scientist, the first two paragraphs of his letters are identical with the opening section of a press release put out by the biotech industry funded lobby group, CropGen.
The claims made by Lamb in the letters, of benefits to farmers growing GM crops in developing countries, are also almost identical with claims made in the CropGen press release. The claims are also controversial.
Lamb and CropGen both claim, for instance, that GM cotton has delivered significant yield increases to farmers in India. In fact, GM cotton performed so poorly in its first year of commercial cultivation in India (2002) that a six-member panel set up by the Gujarat government concluded it was "unfit for cultivation and should be banned in the state".[9]

TEHRAN: Iran announced on Monday it was yanking its entry in the Oscars race because of the "intolerable insult" of the US-made anti-Islam film that has angered Muslims in several countries.
Oscars organizers in Los Angeles said they had not heard officially from Iranian authorities, after the announcement in Tehran by Culture Minister Mohammad Hosseini.
"I am officially announcing that in reaction to the intolerable insult to the Great Prophet of Islam we will refrain from taking part in this year's Oscars and we ask other Islamic nations to show their protest like this," the minister said, cited by the ISNA news agency.
Iran was pulling its sole movie entered in the Academy Awards, "A Cube of Sugar," after discussions with its production company, he said.
The move reflected Iran's fury over the low-budget film "Innocence of Muslims" made by a group of extremist Christians in the United States that ridicules the Prophet Mohammed.
Excerpts of it dubbed into Arabic and available on the Internet have sparked protests in many Muslim countries, some of which have turned deadly — including one September 11 incident in Libya in which the US ambassador to that country and three other US officials were killed.
The US government has stressed it had nothing to do with the film, and regretted its content, but said adherence to freedom of expression meant it could not censor the movie.
Several non-violent protests against the film have taken place in Tehran.
"This film was made in America and the Oscars are held there, and so far no official stance by the nation which made this film has been taken," Hosseini said, according to ISNA.
In the last Academy Awards, held in February this year, an Iranian film, "A Separation," won the Oscar for best foreign language film.
A spokeswoman for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles told AFP: "We've seen the news reports, but haven't had any direct communication from the Iranian Selection Committee."

The MINI WRC team was justifiably proud over the second place in Rally France as Dani Sordo fought for the win over the three days of the rally. This was another clear message from the team that they have the pace on asphalt rallies from the word go.
Dani Sordo never gave up his fight for the lead over the three days and 340 kilometres of competition and he held the overall lead after the first day. Although he lost the lead during the second day to Ogier he went into the final day just 9,5 seconds behind. The team and Sordo chosed the soft Michelins for the first stages and that proved to be an inspired choice and he could claw back time and was just 6,4 seconds behind after the first stage on the final day. On the penultimate stage the gap between them was 6,7 seconds as they had traded fastest times with each other during the stages. On the final power stage Sordo had no intention to give up the fight and posted the second fastest time, thus earning himself another two points. In the end just 6,3 seconds seperated Dani Sordo and the overall winner Sébastien Ogier.
"Yesterday we could have so easily have settled for a secure second place but that's not our style and I'm so proud that Dani was able to challenge for the victory right to the end", team principal David Richards said. "On this occasion we will therefore celebrate a second place and give the entire team a big pat on the back, particularly Dani Sordo. He managed to keep the pressure on Sébastien Ogier throughout the rally and he's certainly laid down a marker for his home event in Spain."
Dani Sordo himself was more than pleased with this effort which say him better the third place in Rally Germany. The Spaniard is now confident for his home rally in Spain coming up next.
"As you can imagine I am really, really happy to finish in second position," he said. "It is an incredible result for the team so thank you to them and also to Carlos (co-driver) who has been great all rally. I think no one here expected this before the rally, but we were fighting for the victory and at the end were just 6,3 seconds behind Ogier. I am very pleased to be going to my home event in Spain in this position. The car was set-up well here, so I am confident it will be the same in Spain."
Kris Meeke also proved the competitiveness of the MINI by being in contention for a podim finish when he slid off the road. Underlining the performance of the new MINI cars the entered MINI S2000 cars also were competitive on the rally setting fast stage times.
Öhlins congratulates the MINI WRC team for another excellent podim finish and a close fought battle for the victory.

User talk:Brion VIBBER
Hi, thanks for helping with the setup of Wikiquote, fixing the Mars bug we had last month, and putting in the new logo recently. Could you spare some time to tidy up a couple of things on the site that only a developer can do? Many of these issues have been raised and discussed on the Village pump, Talk:Main_Page and elsewhere.
1) Change language.php file and replace many of the "Wikipedia" references to "Wikiquote". Some have been changed already (like the namespace 4 and 5), but others need adjusting e.g. the title of the page (which is still "Main Page - Wikipedia"); in Cologne Blue the logo is replaced by the large WIKIPEDIA text in the top left; each page still has an "About Wikipedia" link at the bottom; "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" should be "From Wikiquote, the free compendium of quotations" (mav's choice of words, which no-one here has disagreed with). That sort of thing.
- See village pump. --Brion VIBBER 21:11, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I saw on the Village pump your discussion about namespace changing and the $wgSitename global variable. Could you also please change the other things listed above, like the replacement of the text "encyclopedia" and "Wikipedia" which still occurs in a lot of places? Thanks. Nanobug 12:10, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
2) On August 25th, mav set up http://wikiquote.org/ and http://www.wikiquote.org/ . They worked for a short time, but are no longer working. Also even though you could get to the main page with them, once there any links you followed went back to quote.wikipedia.org, so it was really like window dressing. Is it possible to get these working again, and working deeply rather than just superficially?
- Okay, should work now. --Brion VIBBER 21:11, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Perfect. Thanks. Nanobug 12:10, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Could you please activate your mail preferences? It is now one of sysop requirement (see WQ:RFA). Thanks. --Aphaia 10:20, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Paul: Manning 'should be released'
Former Rep. Ron Paul believes that Chelsea Manning — previously known as Bradley Manning — has done enough time in custody for the WikiLeaks scandal and should be released.
Paul, who made his comments at a Reddit AMA session on Thursday, agreed that Manning should've been punished for practicing civil disobedience and breaking the law, but Manning's time served until now, as well as the other factors in the case, should prompt Manning's release.
"He deserves some punishment, but he has already received (in my estimation) excessive amounts of punishment. He has been in prison for over 3 years as well as tortured, and most military personnel who are caught committing war crimes never receive any penalties." Paul wrote when asked about Manning's sentence.
"I think he should be released now, that he has done us a great service by letting the people know the truth[. He's] a whistleblower in my estimation (even the courts did not charge him with aiding the enemy), and I believe his goal was to inform the American people of the truth about what was happening in the Iraq / Afghanistan Wars," the veteran politician who now runs his own Internet show wrote.

|(3) Volcano:
|Redoubt (VNUM #313030)
|(4) Current Color Code:
|(5) Previous Color Code:
|(6) Source:
|Alaska Volcano Observatory
|(7) Notice Number:
|(8) Volcano Location:
|N 60 deg 29 min W 152 deg 44 min
|(9) Area:
|Cook Inlet-South Central
|(10) Summit Elevation:
|10197 ft (3108 m)
|(11) Volcanic Activity Summary:
|AVO is lowering the Aviation Color Code to Yellow and the Alert Level to Advisory at Redoubt volcano. Seismic, satellite, gas, and deformation observations over the past few weeks indicate that growth of the lava dome at Redoubt has significantly slowed, if not stopped, and therefore it is possible that the current eruptive activity has ended. However, it is unknown if this represents the end of the 2009 eruption of Redoubt or if the activity has only paused temporarily and might resume in the next months.
The large lava dome located at the north side of the summit crater, and extending down the Drift Glacier Gorge, still presents a hazard. It is possible that this large mass of fresh lava is unstable and could fail with little or no warning, leading to significant ash production and possible lahars in the Drift River valley.
AVO will continue to monitor Redoubt's activity closely, but begin to transition off 24/7 staffing. Later updates will describe operational changes as they occur.
|(12) Volcanic cloud height:
|(13) Other volcanic cloud information:
|(14) Remarks:
|The 2009 eruption of Redoubt volcano began March 15th, 2009 with a steam explosion. Between March 22nd and April 4th, Redoubt produced multiple significant explosions that sent ash and gas clouds to as high as 65,000 feet (19.8 km) above sea level that significantly disrupted air traffic and resulted in minor or trace amounts of ash in the city of Anchorage and other nearby communities. Voluminous mudflows inundated the Drift River Valley as far as Cook Inlet on March 23 and April 4. After April 4th, the eruption continued with extrusion of a lava dome within the summit crater, eventually producing a blocky lava flow that currently extends ~0.6 miles (1 km) down the north flank of the volcano.
Heavily ice-mantled Redoubt volcano is located on the western side of Cook Inlet, 170 km (106 mi) southwest of Anchorage and 82 km (51 mi) west of Kenai, within Lake Clark National Park. Redoubt is a stratovolcano that rises to 10,197 feet above sea level. Recent eruptions occurred in 1902, 1966-68, 1989-90, and 2009.

Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson Tie The Knot
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson say their Saturday wedding in Santa Barbara was "the happiest moment of [their] lives."
The newly married couple has released a statement to People after tying the knot in a lavish outdoor ceremony at the San Ysidro Ranch. The magazine says the 33-year-old singer wore a custom-made Carolina Herrera gown as she walked down the aisle in front of more than 250 guests.
She got engaged to the former football player back in 2010, and the couple have a son and a daughter together. Their two-year-old Maxwell served as a flower girl, and one-year-old Ace was the ring bearer.
Among the celebrities rumored to be on the guest list include Jessica's sister Ashlee and her fiance Evan Ross, Jessica Alba, Topher Grace, Cacee Cobb, Donald Faison and Cash Warren.
