Though, for all the times you'll be failing them, cursing the screen wildly, the stealth is possibly the best part of 007 Legends. Before you've been detected, melee takedowns are a silent strike and silenced weapons won't alert enemies as long as they kill on the first shot. Enemies can spot you, hear you, or see your handiwork and raise the alarm if they're sufficiently aware (there's an onscreen visual indicator of just how alert any given enemy is). Corpses spotted by a level's cameras will also raise the alarm, though these also have visible cones of detection.
Really, 007 Legends does a lot that tries to offset the usual problems with first-person stealth. There are the aforementioned visual indicators of awareness, and Bond's wristwatch doubles as a radar device, which can lead to a satisfying rhythm of planning one's move followed by an exhilarating run across the room and out of the enemy's sight. In the end, these segments can't get over the inherent issues of first-person stealth—that being a lack of a direct, easily interpreted indicator of just how you're positioned. As such, most stealth segments devolve into hectic gun battles.
Except the forced stealth segments. Those devolve into dozens of alert-based restarts, because being spotted is instant failure. They're the worst part of the game, by far, which is surprising given how fun playing a crafty, well-hidden Bond can be.
Other than these, there are occasional variations in the gameplay, some of which are one-shots (such as a couple of driving sections and a skiing bit) while others are recurring. There's the pointlessly simple fisticuffs minigame, which consists of following onscreen prompts for about thirty seconds to put a character out of their misery in hand-to-hand combat. Investigation sequences involve using Bond's smartphone to hack electronics or unveil his quarry's fingerprints on key parts of the environment, exposing hidden switches and whatnot. It's usually busywork, but there's the occasional fuse box puzzle, which offers an enjoyable, color-coded challenge on the half-dozen occasions it crops up. Lastly, there's an extended sequence in Moonraker that takes place in zero gravity. The controls for this work surprisingly well and, as absurd as it is, it somehow manages to prove immensely enjoyable.
007 Legends also has a few elements designed to expand its longevity. Every mission has secondary objectives, more of which become available on higher difficulties. It's a throwback to GoldenEye, though the objectives this time out are wholly optional and are very easy to miss (often, I didn't even realize I had any secondary objectives to fulfill), to the point of seeming hopelessly out of the way. There are also challenge missions one can undertake, which are graded score-challenges based on altered versions of levels from the campaign. These are fairly interesting and very demanding. Lastly, there's the multiplayer.
I can't say too much about the multiplayer, though. It's all competitive, divided into free-for-all and team games. There are a few deathmatch modes and some capture the flag variants, which I'm sure would be very interesting, but finding someone playing anything other than basic deathmatch (which does come with the perk that one can play as iconic franchise characters) is next to impossible. So, yeah, the multiplayer is kind of a bust.
The other little touches in the game, such as the character and organization bios and the upgrade system, are kind of neat (and the weapon upgrades add a lot of customization options to the gameplay), but they don't do much to combat the somewhat stale core gameplay and the helter-skelter story. The game is certainly fun, mind, and having the Bond license in there will make it all the more pleasurable for those who are longtime fans of the character, but I can't help feeling that, in the end, the game is a mass of wasted potential.

During Dear MYRTLE's Google+ Hangout On Air yesterday (02/02/2013) we discovered that there wasn't a Citation Template for a Digital Image, online, from Ancestry, as an example.
Dear MYRTLE has a blog post on the Homework assignment and this Hangout On Air.
You can watch the Hangout from the blog.
I was up for the challenge to create a 1940 Source Template as part of the homework.
In Evidentia, in the Document a Source tab, I selected the ICON to the right of the Source Listing.
When the Citation Template list appeared, scrolling down the list, 1940 Microfilm was listed, but that isn't what I was looking at. I had an Image from Ancestry.com.
That last Digital Image was 1870
The right side of the screen shows the "fields", in brackets, that the template used for the citation. I did a Screen Capture of that window, to see what "fields" were used in 1870. HOWEVER, a 1940 Census Citation has other fields as well. So, I looked at and printed the 1940 Microfilm Citation Template.
The fields are different. So the 'trick' is to create a NEW Citation Template that combines these two templates.
At the bottom of this screen (pop up window) is a "new" button.
Which brought up this screen.
So, it's a matter of filling in the fields. However, there are some tricks to remember. The biggest is what are Fields and what is text to go into the Citation Template.
For the Category, Census – US
For the Short Title I entered 1940 U.S. Census – Digital Image
Now for the fun part and a little bit of playing around so that I understood what was going on. What I learned:
Bracket indicates a field that will be presented to 'fill in the blanks'.
The Source Listing Template I entered:
[State], [County], County. 1940 U.S. census, population schedule. Digital Images. [Site Name]. [URL]: [Created Year]
The fields are STATE, COUNTY, SITE NAME, URL, and CREATED YEAR. The rest is text.
The First Listing Template is.
1940 U.S. census. [County] county, [State], population schedule, [City], enumeration district (ED) [Enumeration District] p. [Page #]. household [Household #], [Person of Interest]; lines [Line Numbers]; digital image, ([Site Name]); accessed [Access Date]: citing National Archives and Records Administration microfilm Roll: [File #]_[Roll #].
The fields are COUNTY, STATE, CITY, ENUMERATION DISTRICT, PAGE #, HOUSEHOLD #, PERSON OF INTEREST, LINE NUMBERS, SITE NAME, ACCESS DATE, FILE #, and ROLL #
As above, the rest is text. Note that the Site Name is entered as ([Site Name]). So, the data entry will be the site name, but will be displayed (Site name) or [Ancestry.com)
Since the Microfilm template showed the Enumeration began on April 1, 1940, I entered that as a reminder to me, for this new template.
The new Template has been created, AFTER it is saved.
Now, when I select that Citation Template, this is the Data Entry Screen that I will use for that image.
As you fill in the fields, the text on the right will be updated.

Just 21 percent of senior business roles in Ireland are held by women, new research shows.
Marking International Woman's Day, Grant Thornton research shows that the numbers of women in senior management is actually down slightly on 2009 levels.
The research shows that the average level of representation around the world was 24 percent, with Ireland 36th out of 44 countries and just ahead of the U.S. and U.K.
The Grant Thornton study also shows that seven percent of Irish firms plan to promote more women into senior management roles over the next year, while 17 percent of board directors on Irish firms are women.
On flexible working, Ireland is the lowest ranked EU country apart from Greece. Fifty-three percent of companies in Ireland offer family friendly working solutions compared to an EU average of 74 percent.
Grant Thornton's Sinead Donovan said the disappointing picture may be explained by the weakness of the Irish economy, which has given little room for career progress and so has allowed the status quo to continue.
She also said that despite the lack of progress, only 37 percent of companies would support the introduction of quotas on the number of women on the boards of listing companies.
"There is widespread opposition to quotas which I think is understandable given that successful professional women in Ireland want a promotion because they are the best for the job, rather than a leg-up via legislation," she added.
However, research by website Vision-net claims that the number of female directors of Irish companies has shot up 14 percent since the recession began. It said that the number of women directors in Irish companies stands at 104,971, compared to 92,281 five years ago and 48,571 a decade ago.
The number of Irish company directors is 494,646 and, of these, one in five is a woman.

Heavy surf and rains severely eroded beaches and fragile sea cliffs along the coast of San Mateo County, California during the severe winter storms of 1982-83, the last El Niño climatic event. During that storm season, the main coastal highway was damaged and closed for a considerable period of time by landslides, and many buildings were damaged or threatened by sea-cliff retreat and slope failure.
In the Spring of 1983, the USGS photographed the San Mateo County coast from the air and on the ground to document the cliff erosion and structural damage caused by the severe winter storms. Much of the resultant data set was published in a general article on coastal erosion in San Mateo County (Lajoie and Mathieson, 1985), but the complete data set was never published as a separate document.
The purpose of this report is to present the complete data set in a useful
format prior to the potentially damaging storms of the predicted 1997-98
El Niño storm season. This information should prove useful to coastal
residents, and to local emergency-response agencies, as a guide to potential
erosion hazards along the San Mateo County Coast.
Segments of the San Mateo County coast are classified as stable and unstable based on the inherent resistance of the exposed rocks to wave erosion and slope failure (see coastal stability map). The stable coastal segments in the northern part of the county are backed by resistant granitic rocks, which form high bluffs (maps 5 and 6) to low cliffs (map 7). The stable coastal segments in the southern part of the county (maps 20 to 24) are backed by resistent sedimentary rocks that form low cliffs. Coastal segments of intermediate stability are backed by moderately resistent sedimentary rocks that form high bluffs (maps 4 and 16) and low-to-high cliffs (maps 7 to 9, 12 to 18, 25, and 26).
Unstable coastal segments are backed by weakly indurated or highly fractured sedimentary rocks that form high bluffs (maps 1 to 2, and 8), weakly indurated terrace deposits that form low cliffs (maps 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 to 12, and 23 to 25), and loose beach and dune sand that forms spits and low cliffs (maps 4, 9, 10, 19, and 23 to 25). Along much of the San Mateo County coast, fragile terrace and loose dune deposits overlie resistent to moderately resistent bedrock. In those areas the base of the cliff is stable and the upper part is unstable. If the cliff is sufficiently high that wave surge does not erode the terrace deposits exposed in the upper part of the cliff face, that coastal segment is classified as stable (maps 7, and 18 to 23).
Critical erosion is here defined as any coastal erosion that threatens or damages man-made structures. Cliff erosion that does not threaten or damage man-made structures is not classified as critical, even though it might be severe. Most critical coastal erosion occurs in the northern part of San Mateo County where development is much denser than in the southern part (see critical erosion map).
Notes describing the moderate to severe coastal erosion in San Mateo County during the 1982-83 El Niño are compiled on twenty-six page-sized maps at a scale of 1:12,000 (see coastal erosion index map). The bases for these maps are enlarged portions of the 7 USGS 7.5' topographic quadrangles that cover the coastal area of San Mateo County (see coastal erosion and geology index maps). Notes describing critical erosion are colored red, and those describing noncritical erosion are colored black. The areas of critical erosion are summarized separately on a smaller-scale map (see critical erosion map).
The erosion information presented on the coastal erosion maps is placed in a geologic context on twenty-six coastal geology maps using the same bases as the coastal erosion maps (see coastal geology index map). The geology maps generalize coastal morphology and geology by means of schematic cross sections. Natural coastal processes such as cliff erosion, slope failure, wave erosion, landslides, block falls, debris slides, and cave collapse are illustrated diagrammatically on the cross sections. Ultimately, wave erosion is the primary or initiating erosive process along the San Mateo County coast. Waves erode the base of the sea cliffs or coastal bluffs, thus oversteepening and destabilizing the slopes above. Landslides, debris slides, and block falls are secondary erosive agents that move loosened rock material down the slopes to the beaches below, where the material is eventually eroded away by wave activity. Along most of the San Mateo County coast groundwater that seeps from the cliff face softens and loosens even otherwise resistent bedrock material, thus contributing to the erosional process.
Basically, there are no natural hazards; there are just natural processes such as coastal erosion, slope failure, and flooding. Man creates hazards when ignoring the potential adverse impacts of these processes. Most of the erosion hazards along the coast of San Mateo County are of this nature. Buildings and roads were placed directly on exposed beaches (map 5), directly on active landslides (map 8), or too close to the edge of rapidly retreating sea cliffs (map 3) and landslide scarps (map 2).
Furthermore, man often creates hazards in previously stable areas by altering the natural environment in such a way that erosional processes are initiated or greatly accelerated. For example, at Thornton Beach (map 1) surface runoff from a broad slope was concentrated into small drains that failed during the heavy rains of 1982-83. As a consequence, a deep ravine was eroded below one drain, destroying part of a road. Nearby, a landslide was formed below a second failed drain. That landslide dropped 7 meters in the winter of 1982-83, cutting two streets and damaging several houses; some of the houses were eventually moved to prevent destruction. To the south in Pacifica (map 3), another inadequate drain failed, resulting in severe gully erosion that led to destruction of the southern end of a riprap seawall protecting a mobile-home park. The breach in the seawall focused wave energy behind the remaining part of the wall, which was then completely destroyed. The fragile sea cliff previously protected by the wall was cut back 10 to 15 meters, destroying several mobile-home pads. Farther south, just north of Devils Slide (map 5) and at Martini Creek (maps 5 and 6), failed drains beneath road fills completely destroyed sections of Highway 1, resulting in extended road closure. At Half Moon Bay (maps 9 and 10), a rubble-mound breakwater built in 1959-60 focussed wave energy at low, previously stable cliffs, resulting in sustained cliff erosion, which threatens Highway 1 to this day (Mathieson, Lajoie, and Hamilton, 1997). Surprisingly, the 1982-83 increment of erosion at this site, though significant, was not unusually large.
The coastal-erosion hazards and damage documented in this report could have been avoided or minimized by recognizing the nature of the active coastal processes, establishing their rates and planning set-backs and restrictive zones accordingly. Determining the rates of incremental processes (such as coastal erosion), however, is often difficult owing mainly to the short historical record. Also, rates of sea-cliff retreat usually vary drastically with time. A section of sea cliff might not erode for years or even decades and might therefore appear stable, but eventually a large storm might cut deeply into the cliff face. This sequence of events actually occurred on the north side of Mori Point (map 4), where a high beach berm built up over several decades protected low, fragile cliffs from wave attack. A building constructed close to the cliff edge survived many years unscathed, but heavy surf in the winter of 1982-83 stripped the protective beach and cut the cliff back about 20 meters, destroying the building. Unprotected, the cliff was again cut back 7 meters by just moderate surf in the winter of 1983-84. The beach berm at that site might again rebuild and provide protection for the cliff for another few decades. However, in the future the erosive phase of the cycle will probably be repeated.
The erosional effects and resultant coastal hazards of the severe 1982-83 El Niño winter storms documented in this report should be a reasonable guide to what might be expected along the coast of San Mateo County in the coming winter, if the predicted El Niño event occurs at full intensity. Hopefully, the data set will prove useful to coastal residents and various county agencies in preparing for the coming storms.

This event occurred in the past
24th Nathanson Lecture: "Originalism: Lessons From Some Things That Go Without Saying"
This event occurred in the past
Date and Time
- Tuesday, March 11, 2008 at 6:00 p.m.
Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, Peace & Justice Theatre
Robert Bennett
Nathaniel L. Nathanson Professor of Law and Former Dean of Northwestern University School of Law
The lecture explores the possibilities and limitations of what is called "originalism" in constitutional interpretation, the attempt to restrain interpretation by reference to the constitutional text and the "meanings" originally associated with that text. There is a large literature on this subject, but rather little attention in the discussions thus far to things that the text leaves unsaid. The lecture concentrates on three matters about which there are different sorts of "silences" in the text itself or in the interpretive stance of federal courts, the role of political parties, the meaning of a "republican form of government," and the role to be played by presidential electors.
The University of San Diego School of Law is a State Bar of California approved MCLE provider and certifies that this activity is approved for one hour of general credit.
About the Nathaniel L. Nathanson Memorial Lecture Series
The Nathaniel L. Nathanson Memorial Lecture Series was established in 1984 to honor the esteemed law professor who devoted his life to the law and legal education. This lecture series brings distinguished speakers to the University of San Diego to discuss issues of national significance.
Nathanson, a graduate of Yale University, Yale Law School and Harvard Law School, served as law clerk to the Honorable Julian Mack of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, as well as to the Honorable Louis D. Brandeis of the Supreme Court of the United States. He taught law at Northwestern University School of Law from 1936 to 1977, where he was named professor emeritus. That same year, he was named a Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of San Diego. He spent alternate semesters at the two law schools until his death in 1983. Also receiving the benefit of his wisdom were Stanford University, Rutgers University, the University of Washington, Arizona State University and the University of Tokyo.
Nathanson was best known for his work in the areas of administrative law, constitutional law, civil liberties, international law and human rights. In these and other areas, he authored or served as editor of seven books and had published almost 100 major articles, reviews and papers. He continued to pursue these interests through service to government, the American Society of Legal Studies, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Constitutional Convention of Palau, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
The University of San Diego greatly benefited from the presence of this eminent professor and is pleased to present this lecture series in his memory.

Studio Dunn Wins New Designer Award
After Maxwell chose Studio Dunn for his Daily Find last week, and we happened to fall in love with their work in person at ICFF, we are proud to let you know that Studio Dunn has just been named co-winner in the New Designer category at this weekend's industry event.
Asher Dunn, founder and head of the company, and his right-hand-man Andrew Mau spoke with us at length about the work, process, and inspiration for their handsome collection.
The group begins their glass and ceramic offerings as prototypes in wood which are then fabricated by artisans local to Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where the team is based. Wooden pieces all feature elegantly curved joints meticulously hand-crafted in Studio Dunn's own workshop from sustainably replanted species. But rather than keeping all those good tools, machinery, and practices to themselves, the group offers low-cost woodworking classes as a service to the community.
And in case you're still not in love, items in the Studio Dunn portfolio are available at very reasonable prices to make good design affordable for lots of people, and not just an elite few.
Check out these winners here.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that it instituted public administrative proceedings against Eric Stuerken pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
In the Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings ("Order"), the Division of Enforcement alleges that on May 23, 2002, Stuerken pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit securities, mail and wire fraud and a substantive count of securities fraud in a criminal action, United States v. Becker, et al. (SDNY)(01 Cr. 156)(RPP)), brought by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. According to the indictment, the charges against Stuerken arose from his participation in selling penny stocks promoted by Investors Associates, Inc., formerly a registered broker-dealer. In its judgment, the Court found that Stuerken made, and participated with others at Investors Associates in making, materially false or misleading statements to brokerage customers concerning the purchase and sale of certain penny stocks.
A hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order are true, to provide Stuerken an opportunity to dispute these allegations and to determine what, if any, remedial sanctions should be imposed against Stuerken. The Commission directed that an administrative law judge shall issue an initial decision in this matter within 210 days from the date of service of the Order.

When the Marshwood High School boys basketball team takes the court against Noble, junior guard Brady Dodge doesn't recognize faces.
The competitor in him only sees an opponent who must be subdued. Otherwise, emotions might get in the way of the ultimate goal.
Dodge has experienced both sides of the rivalry. He once played for Noble before transferring to Marshwood.
"It's weird playing Noble in general just because I use to go here," he said after the Hawks' 63-51 win against the Knights Friday night in North Berwick, Maine, "but when it's game time you've got to push those things aside and play hard and try to beat them no matter what's going on outside the game."
Ignoring a major distraction is a difficult task for a teen-ager trying to make sense of life, never mind death. The one face Dodge would give anything to see again is that of his best friend.
Collin Evans died Jan. 18, the same day Noble and Marshwood were scheduled to meet for the first time this season. He was 17.
Although the Noble players were aware of his death before they took the floor that night at Marshwood, Dodge was not.
He wasn't informed until after the game that Evans had committed suicide.
"It's very tough," Dodge said. "It's the second time it's happened to the Noble community and with Marshwood losing Troy Pappas (a freshman football player at Bates College who died last October of injuries sustained in a fall down a dormitory stairwell) it's really been tough for this whole area and we've all had to come together. Me being more close to Collin than any of the three, it really hit me hard and hit some guys on the Noble team hard.
"After we played Noble the first time at Marshwood," Dodge added, "I actually got together with a couple of my friends at Noble. It was good to get together and just talk about memories of him. The only way to get past this is to stick by the ones you love."
To honor Collin's memory, family and friends wore blue during Friday night's game at Noble. Blue was Collin's favorite color.
According to Dodge, his eyes were blue and he was wearing a blue sweatshirt in one of the last pictures ever taken of him.
"I think the wearing of the blue was really special," Dodge said. "I really liked that. I dedicated this night to Collin. I was very close to him growing up. I was friends with him ever since third grade. It was really good to see Andy and Val (Collin's parents) so they could see how much this community really misses him. I can't imagine what they must be going through."
Collin Evans played football and basketball at Noble, and was a junior on the varsity basketball team. According to his obituary, he also enjoyed four-wheeling and snowboarding.
"Collin was a dear friend to all of us," said Noble's Grayson Waterman. "He's been with us since fifth grade travel (team). We all played together. I was in kindergarten with him. I played Little League with him. It's really hard to know that your friend is not in the stands or on the bench with you. It's tough, but I think that we have played through it really well. We played really tough against teams. We never went away. Every game that we played and every point we scored was definitely for Collin."
Friday night's game was an example of the team's resiliency. The Knights hung around against a playoff team before wilting in the fourth quarter.
The death of a player understandably took an emotional toll on his teammates as well as first-year Noble coach Kenny Kimber.
"All those kids took it personal," he said, "and it hit me pretty hard too."
The Knights' once-promising season ended with a nine-game losing streak.
"At first it was OK," Kimber said, "but once everything was over and after it set in for a while I think mentally and physically they were drained from that. I think (Friday) against a rival team, I think we finally got a little more energy and could focus and play."
Dodge and Waterman agree that Evans was the last person they expected to take his own life.
"He was such a happy kid," Waterman said. "I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. Me and him were always joking around in Town Square. He was always hanging out with kids. Nobody's ever going to know why he did what he did, but we're all going to miss him and we're going to hang onto the good memories and take strength out of that."
"Kids that age can't really recognize the signs," Kimber said. "They were all close. I have a big junior class and they grew up together so it definitely hit them pretty hard, especially after everything was over and kind of settled in a little bit.
"For 15- to 18-year-old kids to have to handle something like that is big," Kimber added.
Dodge and Evans were not only longtime friends, but also longtime teammates. Those are the memories Dodge will cherish most.
"I just think about playing sports with him since like third grade," he said. "He was a very athletic kid. I played baseball, football and basketball with him basically all my life. From third grade to freshman year before I transferred to Marshwood, me and Collin would hang out all the time. He'd be over my house almost every weekend.
"I try not to think about it too much," Dodge said, "but when I'm alone and I sit down and think about it, it really hurts. Only time will help heal it."
Dodge and Waterman are searching for answers where none may exist.
"Nobody saw it coming," Dodge said. "I hadn't been as close to Collin the last few years. I still hung out with him. I actually hung out with him probably a couple months ago. We were still very close and we'd text every so often. Just him being my best friend all my life basically has made this very difficult and very sad."
"I've lost sleep some nights," Waterman said. "I think I slept one hour one night just thinking about what I could have done. We're never going to heal until we get some answers, which I just don't see happening. The only thing we can really do is hang on to the memories of Collin and progress forward."

Unlike mathematicians, economists don't excel at solving problems.
Some open questions: Did the New Deal work, or did we need World War II to escape the Great Depression? Did the Soviet Union's collapse prove Marx wrong? Should we return to the gold standard? Post-Bear Stearns, does America need stimulus or austerity? If free markets are superior to command economies, why is the US teetering at the brink of a double-dip recession and the Eurozone in crisis?
Economics: It can't be a dismal science if it's not even science.
Why don't economists know more? Sylvia Nasar's Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius sidesteps this elephant in the Fed's Board Room by, well, focusing on what they do know. "Nobody debates any longer whether we should or shouldn't control our economic circumstances, only how," Nasar writes. "Rather than a history of economic thought, the book in your hands is the story of an idea that was born in the golden age before World War I."
Like Robert L. Heilbroner's 1953 classic "The Worldly Philosophers," "Grand Pursuit" traces the evolution of economics through personalities, or "protagonists who were instrumental in turning economics into an instrument of mastery": Friedrich Engels, Joseph Schumpeter, Irving Fisher and other theoretical all-stars who helped policymakers understand that poor people might not have to be poor. As she's shown before, Nasar is good at finding a compelling story amid academic drudgery. Author of the John Nash biography "A Beautiful Mind," Nasar turned a schizophrenic, allegedly anti-Semitic mathematician into Russell Crowe. "Grand Pursuit's" triumphant thinkers get a similar treatment – not hagiography, but dramaturgy.
For Nasar, Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek, a lonely critic of government intervention just as Europe was gearing up for World War II, is an exile in Cambridge where his "deafness epitomized his isolation." "The Accumulation of Capital" by Joan Robinson, who defended John Maynard Keynes's "General Theory" as well as Chairman Mao's totalitarian regime, is the unlikely work of a debutante "being groomed to support a husband's career rather than to pursue one of her own." And Bengalese economist Amartya Sen's complex theoretical innovations are more remarkable because of his brutal colonial childhood.
"The landlady of his rooming house, who had begged the college not to send her 'Coloreds,' fussed at him about such things as drawing the curtains at night," Robinson writes of Sen's journey to Cambridge from Calcutta, where he survived primitive treatment for oral cancer. "The effects of the radiation appeared: weeping skin, ulcers, bone pain, raw throat, difficulty in swallowing.... the misery lasted for nearly six months."
Keynes, however, is "Grand Pursuit's" superman. A closeted homosexual "recognized as a genius in adolescence," Keynes was reviled for speaking out against burdensome reparation payments in the Treaty of Versailles after World War I. "Keynes blasted the treaty as a rank betrayal by the older generation of political leaders," Nasar writes. "Not only had the Big Four done nothing to restore the prewar European economy, but they had not seriously considered the need to do so."
After a great depression and another world war, the Marshall Plan would show the power of Keynes's once-heretical belief that victors shouldn't charge vanquished, but help them rebuild. "By 1941, Keynesians were scattered around the wartime bureaucracy in Washington like raisins in a cake," Nasar writes.
But Nasar's focus on big names means she overlooks smaller ones. At 77, Sen is the youngest economist she profiles. Prominent Keynesian John Kenneth Galbraith wrote almost 50 books; Nasar gives him three pages. Post-Marxist Jean Baudrillard, whose "Symbolic Exchange and Death" offers a damning theoretical indictment of capitalism, doesn't merit a mention. Quibbles over who's left out of this who's who aside, "Grand Pursuit's" grander problem is that it's a good book that comes at a bad time.
"Keynes and Hayek never fully resolved their long-running debate over how much and what kind of government intervention in the economy is compatible with a free society," Nasar writes. Yet, this unresolved debate, dismissed in an aside, is the root of President Obama and Republicans' inability to compromise on the national deficit, the trade deficit, entitlement reform, tax reform, health care and climate change. (Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann take note: Nasar offers a more nuanced view of Hayek, who claimed "We cannot seriously argue that the government ought to do nothing." ) A history of an almost century-old ideological feud is interesting, but doesn't pick a winner. In 2011, as European markets tumble and China challenges the West for economic dominance, a winner is what we need.

Diet Whey Complex Advanced Fat Loss Protein Shake
Diet Whey Complex Advanced is high in protein whilst low in carbs and fat, what's more it is completely sugar free. This unique fat loss protein shake is engineered with our Ultracut Protein System™ which incorporates a blend of ultra pure whey protein isolate 97, well researched fat loss ingredients and patented ingredient Prolibra®, which is clinically proven to help prevent fat storage and also help promote fat loss. The list of cutting-edge ingredients in this exceptional protein shake include microencapsulated CLA powder, the superior grade Japanese matcha green tea extract, chromium piclionate and l carnitine.
Protein Content in Diet Whey Complex Advanced
Diet Whey Complex Advanced is formulated with an innovative Ultracut Protein System™ which is totally unique on the market today. This is because not only does it contain less than 1g of fat and less than 1g of carbohydrates per serving, it also contains the patented weight loss ingredient Prolibra®. Prolibra® is a clinically proven ingredient derived from whey that's been shown to help reduce your post prandial glycemic response. Put more simply, this means it lowers the rise in blood sugar levels after a meal which in turn helps reduce the amount of fat stored by the body.
Diet Whey Complex Advanced Fat Loss Ingredients
Diet Whey Complex Advanced has been designed to help lower your body fat through a variety of different mechanisms. Firstly, it contains over 27g of premium grade protein per 30g serving making it ultra pure. This is because it's been extracted directly from skimmed milk using membrane technologies at low temperature through two processes known as microfiltration and ultrafiltration. This ultimately produces a very pure form of whey protein that's had its lactose, carbohydrates, calories and casein removed. What's left is an extremely lean macro nutrient profile that not only helps prevent fat storage but also helps promote weight loss. It does this through 3 mechanisms:
- Firstly, studies have found it has a 'thermic effect'. Unlike other foods, the protein in Diet Whey Advanced actually requires calories just to digest it because of its high protein content.
- Secondly, Diet Whey Complex Advanced can help keep you satiated for longer meaning it curbs your cravings and helps you stick to your diet.
- Thirdly, Diet Whey Complex Advanced has a naturally higher leucine content than most other proteins, an amino acid that studies have shown can further help increase the amount of fat your body is able to burn.
As well as the impressive fat loss promoting macronutrient profile of Diet Whey Advanced, it's also been enhanced with a synergistic blend of sports nutrition's most popular fat loss ingredients. To help you understand the science and theory behind their inclusion, the TPW™ Product Development Team have detailed them individually below:
- Microencapsulated CLA (225mg) - is a special kind of fatty acid that scientists believe positively interferes with enzymes and in turn helps the burning of fat. Unlike most other CLA powders on the market, the CLA added in Diet Whey Complex Advanced possesses microencapsulation technology. Each individual CLA particle is microencapsulated with a water soluble coating that helps control the release of the active ingredient, which helps improve its stability and function. More importantly for many people, it removes the unpalatable taste that CLA is known for.
- Japanese Matcha Green Tea Extract (100mg) - Green Tea Extract is well known for being a powerful antioxidant that increases the amount of fat the body is able to burn during exercise. Japanese Matcha Green Tea Extract has been found to be the purest available. It is higher in antioxidants and has been shown to possess greater fat loss, detoxifying and anti-aging properties compared to standard green tea.
- Chromium Piclionate (33mcg) - is a mineral compound that's been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels and help control cravings during a diet.
- N-Acetyl L-Carnitine (150mg) - has been shown to help increase the body's ability to burn fat as a source of fuel.
- Prolibra® - is a patented whey derived ingredient shown to work in synergy with the protein to prevent fat storage.
Diet Whey Complex Advanced With Premium Flavours
Diet Whey Complex Advanced is made from vegetarian sweet cheese, sourced directly from Europe's leading whey protein manufacturer. It is manufactured at our state of the art facility right here in the UK with our widely acclaimed flavours and colours to create the finest quality whey protein shake. No fillers or thickeners are used during the production process which guarantees a totally pure product.

Q. When should I take Diet Whey Complex Advanced?
A. It depends upon your lifestyle and goals, we recommend the following optimal serving times:
Immediately upon waking / 30 minutes pre workout / immediately after your workout / before you go to bed. Any other time during the day when you require additional protein intake.
Q. Why do I need to take protein?
A. Protein out of any other macronutrient has been shown to have a greater satiating effect, meaning it keeps you fuller for longer. Plus whey protein specifically has been shown to 'thermic effect' meaning it actually requires calories to digest.
Q. Is all whey protein isolate the same, regardless of which brand it is?
A. As with so many things in life, if you don't ask the right questions, you won't get the right answers! The quality of protein can vary significantly and therefore the protein content will do too. In addition, just because a product may be called Whey Protein Isolate it doesn't mean that it only contains whey protein isolate. We recommend you read the ingredients and nutritionals on the label to better understand exactly what you are buying. We can assure you that our Diet Whey Isolate 97 is purely whey protein isolate. At TPW™, we are committed to transparency and openness in all our products and that is why we provide the following information on all our protein products: Protein Insight - a complete breakdown of the types and quantities of protein contained in the product.
Q. How can I tell if the protein I use is good quality protein?
A. Keys signs to look for are the level of protein declared on the label. Look for ultra pure whey protein isolate with a minimum of 97%. Unflavoured, ultra pure whey protein isolate should be smooth with a neutral dairy taste. It should be easy to mix and with little froth. Of course, the ultimate way to know is from the results you get from taking the product.
Q. Does your flavoured whey protein powder contain artificial flavouring and colouring?
A. Most protein supplements on the market today are made using artificial flavours and colours. We are committed to maintaining purity in all our products which is why we only use all natural flavouring and colouring with absolutely nothing to hide. Not only is this kinder to your body, but it also gives a more natural and real taste to your shake.
Q. What does "dry basis" and "as-is" mean when talking about protein content?
A. When you see a protein powder that states on the label the protein is given as "dry basis " this means that the moisture present in the powder is included in the total protein value. Moisture in dry protein powders are typically around 4%. However, when a protein supplement is stated "as-is" this means the actual protein content of the powder with the water content excluded. In other words, the true protein you will be consuming. As whey prices have increased significantly over recent years due to the large demand in the sports nutrition sector, some brands may not give you all the facts in regards to the true level of protein in their products. At TPW™, we believe in transparency to give you the utmost confidence when choosing your whey protein supplements. On all our protein products you will see both the as-is and dry-basis values declared. Once again, it's all about knowing what to look for.
Q. Is Diet Whey Complex Advanced suitable for vegetarians and vegans ?
A. Diet Whey Advanced is suitable for vegetarians, but not for vegans.
Q. Can I take Diet Whey Advanced with other supplements?
A. The simple answer is yes. We recommend you always check serving instructions on each product if you plan on taking a combination of supplements.

SEATTLE — Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette never revealed his specific expectations for the season when it began in April.
But now his immediate goal is clear. And it's not winning an American League wild-card spot.
"We're in a position now that we have the kind of ballclub that we could win the division," Duquette said Tuesday. "We have an opportunity to win the division, that's like advancing a round in the playoffs."
Heading into Tuesday night's game in Seattle, the Orioles held the second AL wild-card post but were also just a half-game behind the New York Yankees in the AL East race.

What we're about
PS2G is a Local Game for Global Change based in NYC. Our mission is to restore dignity and encourage generosity through soccer.
By creating a safe, supportive and generous adult pickup soccer culture
By helping soccer charities tell their stories and raise funds through soccer
The tendency is for unorganized pickup games to become hostile environments that breed disagreeable behavior. Our goal is to encourage positivity, safety and generosity. We are creating positive social change amongst our supporters in addition to our charity partners.
We start each game with a few words about the power of giving and encourage safe and supportive play. We cheer when nobody else is cheering. Together, we are perfecting the art of pickup soccer by creating generous environments where all good things can flourish
So far we have:
Raised funds and awareness for 10 charities
Organized 1,300 fundraising pickup games
Granted $22,848 since 2010 from local pickup games ($10,000 in 2014 alone)
Encouraged generosity to 2,300 adult players
Trained 40 community game leaders
Directed 2 "soccer for social good" documentaries
You can lead a fundraising pickup game or sign up to an existing one.
Games are low cost!
Leaders play for free!
Big Goals When Possible!
Friendliest Games (Ask Anyone)!!
All of the proceeds support our charity partners ultimately promoting the safe play of soccer for children in need.
Nelson Mandela said, "Sport has the power to change the world…It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair." PS2G aims to support financially and raise the awareness of soccer charities that are positively affecting the lives of children and acting as catalysts for social change.

The news is full of stories about dogs with incredible abilities. As a dog lover, I adore hearing about amazing canine skills. As a scientist, I am often skeptical and wonder if the dog in question is really capable of doing what has been claimed. The story of Beau is one such case in which I have been made to wonder.
According to his guardian David Madsen, and to many witnesses, Beau can do math. For example, if Madsen tells Beau that there were six dogs at the park but three of them left, and then asks his dog how many dogs are left, Beau answers, "woof, woof, woof." He will answer with five barks if asked what two plus three equals.
Madsen says Beau is correct about 85 percent of the time and that he has never had such a smart dog. To prove that he was not signaling the dog, Madsen has allowed others to test Beau when he (Madsen) was absent. Beau's success when Madsen is not there proves that Madsen is not pulling a fast one on the rest of us, but it does not speak to the possibility that Beau's skills are the result of the "Clever Hans Effect."
Hans was a horse who lived in the late 1800s and early 1900s. He was owned by Wilhelm von Osten, who claimed to have taught him many skills, including arithmetic. Hans responded to questions, both oral and written, by tapping his foot. Many people observed Hans perform with von Osten at various shows throughout Germany.
In 1904, a panel of 13 people tested Hans to determine whether the horse actually knew the answers to the questions or if von Osten was tricking them all by secretly signaling his horse. They concluded that von Osten was not committing fraud and that the horse did indeed know the answers to the questions.
In 1907, psychologist Oskar Pfungst evaluated Clever Hans and shed new light on what the horse was able to do. In a series of tests, Pfungst investigated the horse's success at answering questions under a variety of circumstances. He sometimes kept the horse away from spectators to make sure that the horse was not using any cues from them. He had people other than von Osten question Hans at times. He used blinders so that the horse could not always see the person asking the questions. He varied the distance between the questioner and Hans. Finally, in some cases, he used questioners who did not know the answer.
Pfungst noted that Hans got the answer to questions right even when von Osten was not the person asking the questions, which convinced him that Hans' performance was not a fraud. He also observed that Hans answered correctly only when he could see the questioner and when the questioner knew the answer. For example, when von Osten knew the correct answer, Hans was correct almost 90 percent of the time, but when von Osten did not know the answer, the horse's responses were correct only about 6 percent of the time. Hans' performance suffered to a lesser degree if the questioner was far away from him.
What Pfungst noticed after observing the behavior of questioners was that as the horse tapped his leg, the person would change his expression and posture subtly as the horse approached the correct answer. He observed that when the horse had tapped the right amount of times for a correct answer, the person released that tension. That release in tension was the cue that the horse was using to know when to stop tapping.
Even being aware of this tendency to cue the horse, questioners, including Pfungst, could not stop their faces and bodies from giving information to the horse, as these cues are largely involuntary. Questioners were entirely unaware that they were communicating with the horse in this way. Pfungst showed that while Hans did not know the answers, von Osten was not a fraud. (Von Osten never accepted that Clever Hans was cuing off of people rather than actually solving the problems and continued to show his horse to appreciative crowds throughout Germany.)
The tendency of an observer to influence the behavior of a subject being studied with subtle and unintentional cues is called the "Clever Hans Effect." Most experiments in psychology are now carefully designed to avoid it.
Hans may not have had the grasp of mathematics that von Osten claimed, but there is no doubt that this horse was a brilliant observer. His ability to cue off subtle cues in people's posture and facial expressions was remarkable, and as such, this famous and talented horse certainly earned his nickname "Clever Hans."
It would be interesting to test Beau, the dog who has so recently gained fame for his performances. Beau clearly possesses an extraordinary ability, but I want to know exactly what it is. Is it a great mathematical talent or a highly developed aptitude for observing and responding to people's subtle, unintentional facial expressions and body language?

Alternative Nightstands: Think Outside the Box
Nightstands are often a bedroom's downfall. Maybe you've blown your budget on the rest of the room and forgotten them, or you've settled for a cheapo inefficient model, or you've inherited an ugly bulky matching set that dominates the room. Well, a little creative thinking goes a long way, especially since nearly anything can pose as a nightstand.
Of course before you set out you have to know your nighttime needs. For some people, a surface for a bedside lamp and a glass of water is sufficient, while for others nothing short of a library of shelves and a host of drawers will do. But whatever your situation, there is a solution waiting for you!
• 1. Chair A perfect solution for chair hoarders like myself who can't seem to pass up a cute lone chair. Since I don't like a lot of clutter to accumulate around the bed, the simple surface and interesting shape is perfect for my bedroom.
• 2. Stack of suitcases They're great for storing items that you don't need on a regular basis like out of season blankets/clothing while still providing a stylish surface for everyday items.
• 3. Ladder. Stepping ladders, especially those decked out with deep steps make great shelves. You can use clamp lights as bedside lamps.
• 4. Crates. A stack of crates, or a crate turned on its side and decked out on casters makes a great and creative bedside table alternative.
• 5., 6. Floating shelves. Perfect for people who don't want a bulky piece taking up floor space but still need a place for a book and a glass of water.
• 7., 8. Dresser/Bureau If storage is key for you, don't settle for a whimpy nightstand, use a whole dresser!
• 9. Bookcase. All you earthquake area dwellers, don't try this at home. Admittedly this solution is not for everybody, and I debated whether to include it at all, but it could be perfect for a studio apartment inhabitant who happens to be a very tame sleeper and likes to keep everything close at hand. Thoughts?
What's your favorite alternative bedside table solution?

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (March 2, 2005) - East Tennessee State University junior guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) scored a game-high 37 points and matched his career high for 3-point goals with five, leading the Buccaneers to an 87-84 win over Furman in the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament Wednesday night at McKenzie Arena.
With the win, ETSU, the No. 5 seed from the North Division, improved to 10-18 on the year and earned a quarterfinal matchup with Chattanooga Thursday night at 6 p.m. The Mocs are the No. 1 seed out of the North Division. Meanwhile, Furman, the No. 3 seed from the South Division, watched its season come to an end as the Paladins record dropped to 16-13 on the season.
"Tonight was a good win for us," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team is the back-to-back defending SoCon Tournament champions. "Thank goodness for Tim Smith. He has really come through for us come tournament time. He was really fun to watch today, but tomorrow will be a very tough game. We played them twice this season and the final result was not what we would have liked, but we will show up tomorrow and compete hard."
The Bucs got off to a quick start, as junior guard Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) grabbed the opening tip and raced to a layup on the other end. From there, the Bucs led the rest of the first half and built a lead of as many as nine points. While Rhoda sparked the offense initially, Smith powered the ETSU engine the rest of the half, scoring 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the floor, as the Bucs led 45-40 at the intermission.
"It's tournament time," said Smith, the two-time SoCon Tournament MVP. "It's like the playoffs and everyone is one and done. I don't want to go home yet. I want the three-peat."
In the second half, ETSU continued to build its advantage, leading by as many as 11 points at 72-61 with 9:11 remaining in the contest. However, Furman came charging back behind the play of sophomore guard Robby Bostain and senior forward Ben Earle. Bostain scored all of his 16 points in the second half, while Earle hit three of his four 3-pointers after the break.
With the score 76-74 in favor of the Bucs, Earle's second three of the half gave Furman its only lead of the game at 77-76. It was then that Smith came through again. With the shot clock winding down, Smith seemed to be trapped in the corner and threw up a desperation 3-pointer that found its mark.
While Furman senior Nicholas Sanders tied the game once more at 79-79 with a tip-in at the 2:30 mark, the Bucs went on to outscore Furman 8-5 the rest of the way to take the win. Bostain took a running 3-pointer at the buzzer, but the shot did not find its mark.
"The story of the game was obviously Tim Smith," Davis said. "He made some unbelievable shots. We gave him some, but he made a lot on his own. I thought the dagger came when there was seven seconds on the shot clock late in the game. He was in the corner with the ball, turned, threw it up, and it went in.
"We had our chance to tie it and score at the end of the game, but it just didn't happen. That's all you can ask for. You have to give credit to East Tennessee State, especially Tim Smith."
For Furman, Bostain led the way with 16 points, while four other Paladins reached double figures. Sophomore Moussa Diagne netted 15 points, junior Tony Carter pitched in 14, Earle collected 12 and sophomore Quan Prowell netted 11.
Along with Smith, Rhoda netted 17 points and four rebounds, while freshman post Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) collected his second career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. In nine postseason games - which includes to first round NCAA Tournament contests -- Smith is averaging 25.3 points per game.

Trump's FBI pick: 'I do not consider Director Mueller to be on a witch hunt'
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump's pick to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Christopher Wray assured lawmakers that he intends to restore the organization's independence and impartiality during a tough confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
Part of the questioning centered around special counsel Robert Mueller's role into alleged Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.
Wray said that he does not view special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia as a "witch hunt," contrary to the Donald Trump's characterization.
"I do not consider Director Mueller to be on a witch hunt," Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Wray was pressed by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) on the series of emails between Donald Trump, Jr. and entertainment publicist Rob Goldstone, which point to an attempt by the Trump campaign to obtain politically damaging information on Hillary Clinton from the Russian government.
Wray said he was not in a position to comment on the matter, but suggested that anyone receiving a political offer from a foreign power should "consult some legal advisers" and reach out the the FBI.
"Any threat or effort to interfere with our elections by any nation state or any non-state actor is the kind of thing the FBI would want to know," he said.
Faced with questions about his ability to resist political pressure, Wray told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that he would keep the Bureau "independent" from the throes of politics.
"I believe to my core that there is only one right way to do this job, and that is with strict independence, by the book, playing it straight without fear, without favoritism and certainly without regard to any partisan, political influence," Wray said.
In his opening statement, he assured lawmakers that if he is confirmed to lead the agency, he will "never allow the FBI's work to be driven by anything other than the facts, the law, and the impartial pursuit of justice. Period. Full stop."
He continued, that if confirmed, he will "lead an independent Bureau that will make every American proud."
Wray's confirmation hearing comes at a challenging time for the FBI, which has been at the center of two of the most politically consequential investigations over the past two years. The agency took the lead in investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, and is currently looking into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
In May, President Trump fired former director James Comey, alleging that he had lost the confidence of the FBI.
In response to the senior Democrat on the Committee, Wray said that using torture on prisoners or detainees is "illegal" and ineffective."
"My view is that torture is wrong, it's unacceptable, it's illegal and I think it's ineffective," Wray stated, adding that he would uphold the previous FBI policy on torture, "that the FBI is going to play no part in the use of any techniques of that sort."
In 2003 Wray served as a senior adviser at the Office of Legal Counsel, the body that narrowed the definition of torture in order to justify certain enhanced interrogation techniques used in the post-9/11 period.
