The Klosses Photography by Dan Martensen
MULTIPLE KLOSSES SNUGGLED IN ONE BED is not an uncommon sight. It was on a king-size mattress two years ago that the Kloss family—mom Tracy, dad Kurt and daughters Kristine, 23, Karlie, 20, and twins Kimberly and Kariann, 17—held a family meeting and decided to move from St. Louis, Missouri, where they had lived for 16 years, to the quiet town of Goshen in upstate New York. The reason wasn't typical: Then-teenage Karlie had become one of the world's most famous models, ascending from fresh new face to supermodel status in a matter of months. She was rarely home, and the family felt incomplete.

Karlie's career has followed a trajectory that only the fashion industry can conjure: She was booked exclusively in a Calvin Klein show the same week she started high school; rented her own apartment in Manhattan when she was just 14 years old; was the face of Christian Dior CDI.FR +0.54% Christian Dior S.A.

These days, she's fronting the Donna Karan campaign and works as a cohost of MTV's House of Style revival. And like other supermodels before her, she's becoming her own brand: Last year, she collaborated with Momofuku Milk Bar to launch Karlie's Kookies, a line of vegan treats sold to raise funds for children's charities.
Tracy, a freelance art director, remembers that family meeting: "Curled up, all six in bed, Karlie approached us and said that when she graduated high school she was going to spend more time in New York, and it would be nice if we could all be together." Kurt, an emergency room doctor, adds, "After some discussion and soul searching we made the decision that we were going to make the move." Last winter, Karlie bought her first house, a townhouse in the West Village that functions as a crash pad during frequent visits from various Klosses. But whenever she has a few consecutive days free, she's at the Goshen house—where five dogs, three cats, a bunny and a horse also reside.
The "adventure"—which is how Kurt and Tracy refer to Karlie's career—started simply. When she was a 5-foot-8 sixth grader, a friend of her parents asked if she would model in a fashion show to help fund-raise for a neighborhood family. Up to that point, she had been more interested in ballet and sports than fashion, but a model scout in that audience approached Karlie afterward about taking her strut more seriously. She booked some local jobs in St. Louis, got an agent in Chicago and was hired for an Abercrombie Kids campaign with photographer Bruce Weber.
It was later, on a trip to Chicago, that Kurt realized modeling was more than just a summer hobby for his impossibly tall daughter. "An agent pulled me aside and said she was going to be the next Kate Moss. Not that she could be, but that she was going to be," says Kurt. "I had to look up who Kate Moss was."
When Karlie hit 5-foot-9 in eighth grade—today she's over six feet tall in flats—an agent from New York came to St. Louis to talk to her parents about furthering her career. Tracy had been in discussion with Karlie's public high school about alternative education programs, and they were coordinating an online curriculum for her daily classes. But what started as one day of hooky, so that she could walk in a Calvin Klein show, grew into long absences for international travel. "We held off for awhile because we had to figure out how to make it work with everything else going on in the family," says Tracy. "The agent asked, 'Are you ready for this?' "
KARLIE'S CAREER BECAME a family trade. "Although we didn't know much about the fashion industry, we said from the beginning that it was going to be a business, and we're doing it together," says Tracy. With their own careers and three other daughters to juggle, Tracy and Kurt recruited the extended family to help manage Karlie's new job: Tracy's sister and Kurt's brother and mother all took various roles as chaperones and guardians. "She was never, ever alone," Kurt says of Karlie's teenage years. The family was always backstage at shows, on set and traveling with her around the world—either on the dime of the client or with the help of the thousands and thousands of frequent flier miles Karlie had accumulated. (Last summer, Karlie had enough American Airlines miles to bring her entire family to Denmark to visit their ancestral homeland.) Kurt's favorite trip was to China, where Karlie shot a splashy editorial for Vogue with photographer Mario Testino. Last year, she took Kimberly to the Victoria's Secret show after-party to meet Justin Bieber.
" "An agent pulled me aside and said she was going to be the next Kate Moss. Not that she could be, but that she was going to be. I had to look up who Kate Moss was. "——Kurt Kloss
Kurt and Tracy supported Karlie's career, but always tried to keep her feet on the ground. As Karlie describes it, she led "this bizarre double life"—part Midwestern middle sister and part international supermodel. A typical high school day might have included a 7 a.m. flight to New York to shoot a high-fashion editorial with Steven Meisel followed by a 7 p.m. flight back to Missouri to study and prepare for school the next day. During fashion weeks, homework was a backstage priority. Her friends were more into high school gossip than fashion. "And when I would come home, I still had my chores," says Karlie. "Dirty dishes, walking dogs, taking out the trash. My parents knew the glamour ended at the front door."
Tracy and Kurt always trusted their daughter, even as she became more and more immersed in an industry known for its excesses. On the subject of nudity (Meisel shot her fully naked for the first time in Vogue Italia; or her two turns in the Victoria's Secret fashion show), they support her fully. "I see it as an art form," says Tracy. "I appreciate and understand the creative aspect of the work." Kurt says it doesn't bother him, either—"as long as it's tastefully done."
Kurt acknowledges there were tricky moments, like when he nearly got into a shoving match with a man who came a little too close to Karlie in Paris's Tuileries Garden. "But we know she has a good head on her shoulders," says Tracy. "Karlie is very family-oriented, so she really did like and desire to have her family around. It's been a great gift that she's shared with all of us."
Mom and Dad didn't play favorites, either. They still don't. Asked what they think of Karlie's reputation as fashion's sweetest supermodel, Kurt smiles. "All of our girls are sweethearts, with big hearts and kind personalities." He does, however, remember how he wept as his daughter closed a Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. Afterward, while leaving the show with his brother Keith, he recalls discussing Karlie's just-wrapped performance: "Keith was saying there were so many girls, and they all looked the same. And I said, 'No, this is not any other girl. Whatever it is, she has it.' "
"I didn't even think I had it," Karlie says. Then, with a sly smile, she adds, "But Dad always knows best."

bob hund is a seven-piece rock band from Sweden. Swedish for "bob dog", their name was borrowed from a television cartoon character. Their music, hard to classify, is by some described as "a frantic celebration of the power of music to invigorate and give life."
The indie rock band started in autumn 1991 and the group as it is known today was formed within about half a year. The group consists of singer Thomas Öberg, guitarists Johnny Essing and Conny Nimmersjö, bassist Mats Hellquist, Jonas Jonasson on synths, and Mats Andersson on drums.
bob hund have performed all over Scandinavia as well as in Poland and England. Some of their most notable performances have been at the Roskilde, Hultsfred, Ruisrock and Quart mus...

This is entertaining. I was browsing through stuff trying to recall previous disagreements with Shermer (I know I've had some, though only unilateral ones) and I found a post of Jerry Coyne's from more than three years ago. It's about Shermer as accommodationist.
Amusingly, I start by arguing that Shermer can be read as describing a view rather than endorsing it. Funny, isn't it! Since now I'm getting shouted at for confusing the two in the case of "it's more of a guy thing."
Then there's the whole pragmatism question.

Shermer is a bit weird on this topic. At the Beyond Belief conference a few years ago, he practically blew up at criticisms of the Templeton Foundation. I don't think he is receiving money from them, but at the time it was striking in how loudly and angrily he reacted to complaints about an organization to which he didn't belong.

He also seems to be afflicted with the one-eyed practical or 'political' approach that is so noticeable in Chris Mooney. He talks about what 'works' without pausing to say what he means by 'works' – apparently thinking that absolutely everything boils down to some kind of campaign. What if (at least sometimes) we don't care about what 'works' so much as we care about getting it right?
How it takes me back.
But then, even more entertaining – I find myself saying yet again, or rather not again but way back then, that Shermer said what he said and not something else. I say it to, of all people, Russell Blackford. The ironies.

Ophelia says: "What if (at least sometimes) we don't care about what 'works' so much as we care about getting it right?"
I'm going to keep batting for Michael here, because I think this gets things a bit backwards. Michael could reply: "What if (at least sometimes) we do care about what 'works' as much as we care about getting it right?"
Now, maybe we should always care more about getting it right, but that's not the argument. I can't speak for Michael, of course, but I doubt that he'd deny the following: "sometimes we don't care about what 'works' so much as we care about getting it right". I think he'd say, "Yes, sometimes … but not all the time. I'm talking about those other times."
If so, is there really that much disagreement?
- Posted November 28, 2009 at 7:55 pm | Permalink
But Russell, he said what he said. I'm arguing with what he said. Maybe he would rephrase it if you asked him, but he did say what he did say. He said "There are multiple ways [to respond to theists and/or theism], all of which work, depending on the context." I'm saying they don't all "work" (unless he means something very odd and idiosyncratic by "work") and whether or not they "work" isn't the only question to ask about them.
Do admit. That's exactly what I've said about nineteen times during this dispute, when people keep saying what he could have said or what they're sure he meant, and I keep saying he said what he said and that's what I'm arguing with.
And the same disagreement. Let's not pin him to exactly what he said. But why not, since he did say it?
Posted November 29, 2009 at 6:18 am | Permalink
But Ophelia, he does seem to think that sometimes we just plain straight out should tell the theists that their views are wrong, or are not rationally grounded, or are merely a human construction, or whatever. That's consistent with his modus operandi in the past … and it's a funny sort of accommodationist position. He'd probably think that this "works" approach in some sense, but presumably not in the sense of getting theists to fight global warming, etc.
I don't think the pieces are written with the kind of rigour that justifies trying to analyse them like statutes or like poems, and they wouldn't stand up to that sort of analysis. But to me, the question is whether Michael is telling us that religion and science "just are" compatible in some broad, sloppy sense, without all the needed caveats that you and I and Jerry like to insist on (which tend to eat up the claim itself), or whether he wants us to stop criticising religion – things like that. I can see problems in the original piece (I discuss some of these at more length over at Butterflies and Wheels) as well as in his attempt to defend it. But I don't think he's doing either of those things. The problems I see are quite specific (some of them are actually theological!). At this stage, they don't add up to reason to think that Michael has gone over to the accommodationist side.
And – to everyone – I freely admit that I'm looking at these pieces charitably. But I think we should always do that until we have enough cumulative reason to do otherwise, and especially with someone who has Michael's sort of track record of opposing irrationalism.
- Posted November 29, 2009 at 11:42 am | Permalink
Russell, I don't want to claim that Michael himself has gone over to the accommodationist side (and anyway, as I said in replying to you at B&W, even if he has he can always come back again). I just want to dispute some (much) of what he says in this particular piece.
It's an argumentative piece, after all, and a personal one at that – so I really don't see why we shouldn't take its claims at face value and disagree with them if we disagree with them.
And here it is three years later and I still don't see why we shouldn't take particular claims at face value and disagree with them if we disagree with them. Is this consistency or sheer bloody stubbornness?

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »
In today's episode we discuss the national funding strategies of the USA, as a part of our special series on Robotics Roadmaps worldwide. Our first episode on the subject looked at funding in Japan with Tomomasa Sato. Today we'll be focussing on the Robotics Roadmap in the USA with one of its main creators, Henrik Christensen.
Henrik Christensen
Henrik Christensen is the KUKA Chair of Robotics at the College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology. He is also the director of the Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines. His research focuses on systems integration, human-robot interaction, mapping and robot vision.
Christensen has been a major actor in building the Robotics Roadmap for the USA which was sponsored by the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and led by 12 world class researchers from the leading robotics academic institutions in the United States.
The results of the workgroup were presented to congress in May 2009, and have led to a shift in robotics priorities in the US. The roadmap emphasizes three application oriented directions, namely manufacturing, healthcare/medical, and services robotics markets; plus a research core that addresses a number of enabling technologies that must be the focus of R&D in order for the US to remain a leader in robotics and commercial development.
In this interview, Christensen summarizes the current state of robotics in the US and worldwide, funding sources, and the balance between research, industry and the military. The interview was recorded at the International Conference on Human-Robot Interactions in Switzerland this spring. For latest updates about robotics roadmaps in the US, people can follow Christensen's blog.
Holiday Robots
Like last year, we will be asking our listeners to submit videos or audio related to robotics and the holidays! Content can be fictional, scientific or business oriented. We'll be posting the material on our dedicated YouTube channel and select segments will be featured in the episodes until the end of the year. To submit material, simply go to www.robotspodcast.com/christmas or send us your material by email to [url=mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]firstname.lastname@example.com[/url]. To get in the spirit, check out the videos from last year, some of which gathered millions of views!

TRACE YOUR GUINNESS ROOTSHmmm, instead of the tea, viewing the following database might be more appropriately done with your laptop at a local pub while the bartender is drawing you a pint of the black stuff. Guinness itself has taken a liking to genealogy! If one of your ancestors was employed by Guinness, you might be in luck, because the company has put a database of its employee records online. I guess the company will have to change its ads from "Guinness is Good for You" to "Guinness is Good for Genealogists!"
The next online archive goes by the name DIPPAM. Sponsored by Queens University, and the University of Ulster, plus other libraries and archival groups, DIPPAM is "an online virtual archive relating to the history of Ireland, and its migration experience from the 18th to the late 20th centuries. It is a free-to-view resource available to all users with an interest in Irish history: family, local, national and diasporic."
I have found that the site is still under development, and is sometimes inactive due to "bugs." If you find it inaccessible, keep trying another day. Every Irish family historian will want to explore its databases.
There are three main databases in DIPPAM of interest to Irish family historians. One is EPPI, the collection of Enhanced Parliamentary Papers on Ireland. The contents of the Papers are far ranging, and, surprisingly, contain many records of local Irish matters, many with names and information. A few years ago, when the EPPI database first appeared online, many Irish genealogists made discoveries in its contents. Then the collection was taken offline and made available through the Southampton University library site, which was more difficult to navigate. The reappearance of EPPI, in an easy to use format, will be good news to many genealogists.
The two other major databases are the IED (Irish Immigration Database) and the VMR (Voices of Migration). The IED will have 33,000 records from PRONI and private sources, mostly covering the years 1780-1920. The VMR contains 90 life narratives and interviews dealing with the Irish diaspora.
THE IRISH ARCHIVES RESOURCEAccording to its web statement, "The Irish Archives Resource is a portal web site that will enable researchers/users to search for publicly accessible archival collections that are located in Ireland. The IAR is funded by the Heritage Council of Ireland and is supported by the Archives and Records Association (Ireland)." This site should prove especially valuable for those researchers planning research trips to Ireland. I have used a similar database in the UK in the past and found valuable the ability to locate which archives hold which records. I was able to find Irish estate records from the 1700's in a York, England, archive--something that I might never have found otherwise.
IRISH GENEALOGICAL PROJECTS UPDATESOnce again, thanks to the tireless volunteers at the Irish Genealogical Projects (IGP) for adding to the projects' databases!

The Premier League is one of the most exciting leagues in world football thanks to the players, which is why they're rewarded with large contracts.
Skilful stars, who produce magical moments, are often worth the ticket price alone – and they keep supporters coming back for more.
But who are the Premier League's current top 10 magicians?
The ten players who feature on this list might not necessarily be the best players in the league – although several of them clearly are – but they always manage to get supporters out of their seats when they're on the pitch.

BLUFFTON - Co-proprietors Mitch Brown and Gavin Wright announced the launch of their spirits company, Pocotaligo Rum, in early April. A deep appreciation of rum, entrepreneurial spirit, and prompting from friends, led them to develop their proprietary rum formula.
"We have crafted a rum that embodies of the spirit of the Lowcountry and is distilled with Bajan sugar cane", says co-proprietor Mitch Brown. "There's not a readily available source of locally grown sugarcane so we are sourcing it through a family- run and well established distillery onBarbados, which has been making rum for generations."
"Our rum is an extension ofSouth Carolina's heritage connection with the island nation ofBarbados, the birthplace of rum. In the 1660s, many sugar cane planters sold their property and migrated to newly formed colony ofCarolinaand settled here in the Lowcountry." explains Wright.
The company's agency, Bluffton-based recipient of the 2012 NMMA Innovation Award winner, Jester Communications created and launched the website www.pocotaligorum.com. The promotional video was filmed by Hirsch Productions at various Lowcountry sites in South Carolina including the May River, Pine Island, Bluffton, Pocotaligo, Yemassee, and Hilton Head Island.
Indiegogo.com is a funding website providing a platform for project-oriented entrepreneurs, artists and others to seek funding from the general public. Brown and Wright have set their goal to the minimum point at which the company will be brought to commercial life. This level will enable the company to generate the first commercial batch of Pocotaligo Rum available for sale in restaurants, bars and package stores locally. The tactic is slow, methodical growth through distributors, and to build a loyal clientele through events and tastings. Supporters who have funded a particular project receive tangible and non-tangible items in return.

The Matt Files
The Matt Files
In the later years of "Brain Damage," there would be more and more guest hosts as Eric was increasingly unavailable. Matt was the most regular of these guest hosts. We're happy to be able to make these shows from 1993-1995 available for the archives.
Matt's style was very different from Eric's and he attracted a whole new crowd of regular callers such as The Chinese Jokeman, Tony Thomas, and Poetry Guy. There were also innovations like the "Anyone Can Host" contest, as well as an ongoing novel made up by listeners as they called in. Most of all, the shows provide a fascinating time capsule of 1990s news and culture.
Thanks to WUSB listener Rob from East Islip for donating these.

Phony Marine guarding school (UPDATED)
Preston sends us a link to Business Insider who checked out the background of Sgt. Craig Pusley, a marine who the Associated Press and Huffington Post among others featured in an article about how Pusley volunteered to guard a local school in his Marpats.
Well Business Insider found out that Pusley hadn't even made it out of training during his stint;
Craig R. Pusley served for not even a year, from 17 July 2007 to 8 April 2008, never earned a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS – a job designation), and never left Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, according to the report.
He left the Corps as a basic Marine (8000 MOS designation), no reserve status.
His rank was never more than Private First Class, he never deployed, and his only award was for the National Defense Service Medal.
I've got a Facebook conversation about Staff Sgt. Jordan Pritchard that isn't very flattering either. So, while I think some of these guys hearts are in the right places, they need to keep the phony shit out of it.
UPDATE: Our buddy, Jeff Schogol at the Air Force Times sends us a link to the Marine Corps Times interview with Pusley;
"There's a lot of fabrication to this story that didn't come out of my mouth," Pusley said. "All I know is that I talked to a Modesto Bee lady, and everything went crazy."
Photographs show him wearing the rank insignia of a sergeant, however. Asked about that, he said he didn't realize what was on the uniform and borrowed it from someone else.
"I feel horrible about this," he said. "My intention was for the kids. I don't understand why everyone has to find a negative in every situation."
Pusley didn't have an explanation why Austin would have reported that he went to Iraq and Afghanistan, or why it was repeated in subsequent news coverage. However, he said he is "deeply sorry" if standing in front of the school in uniform if it offended anyone, and has written an email to the White House apologizing. He wasn't anticipating a blast of negativity after appearing at the school, he said.
"I cannot emphasize enough how sorry I am that all of this has happened," he said. "These were not my intentions. This was never supposed to happen."
Yeah, funny how that happens – you tell lies and when you get caught, it's hardly your fault.

Listen to Nitsuh Abebe's Favorite Songs of 2012
Listen to our music critic's Spotify playlist.
Well, here's the part where the year comes to a close and we do our best to package up whatever joys we found in it. And here's my contribution: 50 songs I loved in 2012. I'm not big on calling lists of things I like the "best" — it'd be like saying my dog is the "best" dog, even though he never finds bombs or cheers up terminally ill people and is scared of plastic bags and is, objectively speaking, kinda average — so just consider this a mixtape of sorts. Or five mixtapes at the same time, full of things I enjoy and think you might enjoy — maybe especially in the realms of pocket-size synth-pop, dreamy R&B, buzzy indie rock, rap, and murky, meditative pieces you may or may not find depressing.
You can listen via Spotify, and here's hoping you'll discover some sounds you'll like as much as I do: Elle Varner's shivery rasp, Ellie Goulding's triumphant chirp, Future's pitch-corrected gargle, Prinzhorn Dance School's terrifying explanation of your own inevitable death, the transition from Damon Albarn's pseudo-Elizabethan opera to Rick Ross bellowing about hustle, Metz bellowing about rats, R.

Local wildlife biologists and invasive species experts from the Kenai Peninsula are scrambling to combat the invasive elodea plant recently found in two Nikiski area lakes.
Those serving on a recently assembled working group hope to kill the plant — which can damage native fisheries, impede boat traffic and lower property values — before it spreads throughout the area, as it can easily do.
So far the infestation is known only in Daniels Lake and Stormy Lake, but the group will be busy this summer testing other waters for the injurious aquatic perennial, gathering permits needed to apply herbicides and seeking funding from various sources, said John Morton, supervisory biologist at the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
"We are moving pretty quickly on this, about as fast as we can go," said Morton, who spoke at Tuesday's Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting. "Right now the decision to eradicate or not is partially dependant on the fact that we don't have money.
"The other piece is that if it is widespread on the Peninsula, it is not worth going after because we just can't afford it. If you do the math on something like 1,000 acres — that's the two lakes combined — that's $800,000 to treat those two lakes right now."
If the group's summer research finds elodea widely-distributed in other popular area lakes, there won't be much anyone can do, he added.
"We'll be dead in the water and we'll have to live with the outcome," he said.
Morton said the elodea plant grows quickly and has been found in four places around the state — Fairbanks, Cordova, Anchorage and now the Kenai Peninsula.
"The important piece here is that you don't need seed, you just need a tiny fragment and it can clone itself," he said. "It spreads very, very quickly."
Morton said the plant now covers about 80 to 90 percent of the Chena Slough in Fairbanks.
"This used to be grayling habitat, but now it is pretty much a big aquarium," he said of the slough.
Elodea was initially discovered in Stormy Lake last fall during rotenone treatment to kill off invasive populations of northern pike, Morton said. In October, nine lakes were sampled including Salamatof, Longmere, Island, Sport, Scout, west Mackey, east Mackey, Wik and Daniels, the latter having a confirmed strand.
Morton said the project was fast-tracked and a landowner meeting in Nikiski yielded public support for treatment of the two lakes.
"We had a very large group there and people were very supportive of us doing something very quickly," he said.
There are two types of chemicals that can fight elodea, Morton said. Diquat is cheaper and used only to suppress the plant as it does not kill the root. Fluridone is more expensive, lethal and more effectively targets the plant, but it has to be constantly monitored and regulated for a long period, Morton said.
Both chemicals have a low toxicity, are focused on plants and won't impact the lake's invertebrates much, he said.
"These are very, very tiny amounts and they have very quick half lives," Morton said.
The working group in April applied for a permit to apply Diquat and sent live samples from Stormy Lake to a company that makes Fluridone. Morton said the group hopes to be applying some sort of a chemical treatment to the lakes by July.
Refuge management has provided $40,000 to the effort, which could be used to treat both lakes with Diquat, stalling the issue for the year while the group campaigns to raise money for a complete Fluridone treatment.
Another option, Morton said, is to close the boat launch at Stormy Lake, use the $40,000 on Fluridone to eradicate the plant out of Daniels Lake. For an additional $300,000, the group could try to eradicate it out of both of them, he said.
Morton said the plant probably arrived via science lab kits or from an aquarium, and was likely spread by boat or floatplane.
"This is a very, very scary plant," he said. "You saw the price tag on this stuff, you can see how bad it would be if it started multiplying by lakes, it would be a very bad thing."
The local working group, he said, is the first of the other state groups to pursue chemicals for treatment, because they realize they only have a "small window" to make a difference.
Morton said the group could use any money from the borough as match grant funding.
"Right now it is fairly easy to get invasive species dollars through grants, but the real stinker is that you need to have a non-federal match," he said. "Anything the borough would provide we would leverage, absolutely."
Borough Mayor Mike Navarre said he was interested in figuring out how to help, but said he wondered why the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Department of Natural Resources were not more involved in the project. Assembly members Bill Smith and Ray Tauriainen asked the mayor to focus on the group's needs and find ways for the borough to help.
Navarre on Wednesday said he would consider how much money the borough could give to the effort as part of a forthcoming budget amendment.
"Clearly we would not be able to do all of what they need because, one, that's not fully our responsibility and we don't have the same level of resources that the state and the feds do," Navarre said. "I think what we would look at doing is trying to help do something ... with a focus on Daniels, especially if they are going to close Stormy as they talked about to prevent further spread from Stormy."
Said Navarre, "We'll try to figure out a good, responsible plan, but clearly we recognize the threat and want to do something."

You're advised to use interdental brushes as part of your oral health routine. But if you don't have large enough spaces in between your teeth, flossing can be a useful alternative.
You're advised to use interdental brushes in addition to brushing as part of your daily oral health routine from the age of 12.
Some people may not have large enough spaces in between their teeth to use an interdental brush, so flossing can be a useful alternative.
Your dental team can show you how best to clean between your teeth.
Dental floss is a thin, soft thread. If you find floss hard to use, you can try dental tape, which is thicker.
Don't be too aggressive with the floss: you risk harming your gums. The main action of flossing is a firm but gentle scraping of the tooth from the top down.
Your dental team can advise you about using dental floss.
When you first start flossing, your gums may be tender and bleed a little. Carry on flossing your teeth as directed by your dental team and the bleeding should stop as your gums become healthier.
If you're still getting regular bleeding after a few days, see your dental team. They can check if you're flossing correctly.
If you find flossing difficult, your dental team can give you advice about other ways of cleaning between your teeth.

I've been experiencing a meta-literary moment this week. I'm reading Hella Nation by Evan Wright, author of bestseller Generation Kill, which chronicled his tour as an embedded reporter for Rolling Stone during the U.S. invasion of Iraq. (The book was also made into an HBO miniseries that's on my DVR but not yet watched.) Wright's latest is a collection of his profiles from Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, LA Weekly, and other publications. Wright got his start as a journalist for Larry Flynt's Hustler, and a couple of the pieces are set in the porn industry.
These dispatches from the American underground should represent what can be so compelling about magazine journalism—when a writer not only interviews but infiltrates his or her subjects, revealing something neither they nor the reader knew about themselves. Unfortunately, this is not the case with Wright's work. Admittedly, some of the pieces are from very early in his career, before, perhaps, he had perfected the form. He gets great interviews, and he tells their tales well, but he stops short of, I don't know, the analysis or insight that makes stories like these required reading.
(Perhaps these limitations in Wright's writing is purposeful, as he rejects the "gonzo" label that has been applied by some critics to Generation Kill: "… 'gonzo' speaks of writing that is more about the reporter than the subject. With few exceptions, my intent has always been to focus on my subjects in all their imperfect glory.")
Coincidentally, late last year I finally picked up some David Foster Wallace. (Embarrassingly, it wasn't until his untimely death that I actually read any of his work.) I haven't made it through his epic-length novel Infinite Jest, but I was pretty much blown away by his Consider the Lobster, another collection of essays featured in magazines like the Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, and, again, Rolling Stone, among others.
I say "coincidentally" because, it turns out, Wallace and Wright had met. Wright, in fact, lost a story to Wallace when Premiere withdrew an assignment covering the 1998 Adult Video News Awards from Wright and gave it to Wallace instead. A veteran of the event, Wright showed Wallace around the gala and tradeshow and appeared in the resulting article under the nom de guerre Harold Hecuba.
So last night as I was reading "Scenes from my Life in Porn" from Hella Nation, one of the anecdotes sounded familiar. I dug out my copy of Wallace's Consider the Lobster, and, sure enough, Wright and Wallace had written about the same incident.
Here's Wright's version:
A few months before I left LFP, a thief broke into my car and stole a half-dozen XXX videos. They had been shipped to the office in a box with my name on it. The police caught the hapless criminal walking down the street with the box, and I was called to testify about the crime in a Beverly Hills courtroom. I waited in the hall with the cop who was handling the case. He was a detective a few months shy of retirement who, with his New York accent, knowing blue eyes and rumpled brown suit, seemed more like a sympathetic TV character actor than a real cop. He talked about his 30-year marriage, his daughters, his involvement in a well-known case a decade earlier when he'd killed a murder suspect during a foot chase and shootout. The detective brought up porn videos and confessed that he liked them. His tastes, he said, were specific. He liked the directors who focused on the women's faces. "It's all bullshit," he said. "But sometimes you're looking at the girl in the video and she reveals herself. Maybe it's just a moment in her eyes, but it's human, it's genuine."
To me, what was real and unreal had ceased to be clear.
And here's Wallace's:
Mr. Harold Hecuba [aka Wright], whose magazine job entails reviewing dozens of adult releases every month, has an interesting vignette about a Los Angeles Police Dept. detective he met once when H.H.'s car got broken into and a whole box of Elegant Angel Inc. videotapes was stolen (a box with H.H.'s name and work address right on it) and subsequently recovered by the LAPD. A detective brought the box back to Hecuba personally, a gesture that H.H. remembered thinking was unusually thoughtful and conscientious until it emerged that the detective had really just used the box's return as an excuse to meet Hecuba, whose critical work he appeared to know, and to discuss the ins and outs of the adult-video industry. It turned out that this detective—60, happily married, a grandpa, shy, polite, clearly a decent guy—was a hard-core fan. He and Hecuba ended up over coffee, and when H.H. finally cleared his throat and asked the cop why such an obviously decent fellow squarely on the side of the law and civic virtue was a porn fan, the detective confessed that what drew him to the films was "the faces," i.e. the actresses' faces, i.e. those rare moments in orgasm or accidental tenderness when the starlets dropped their stylized "fuck-me-I'm-a-nasty-girl" sneer and became, suddenly, real people. "Sometimes—and you never know when, is the thing—sometimes all of a sudden they'll kind of reveal themselves" was the detective's way of putting it. "Their what-do-you-call … humanness." It turned out the LAPD detective found adult films moving, in fact far more so than most mainstream Hollywood movies, in which latter films actors—sometimes very gifted actors—go about feigning genuine humanity, i.e.: "In real movies, it's all on purpose. I suppose what I like in porno is the accident of it."
But, where Wright's anecdote comes to end, Wallace continues:
Hecuba's detective's explanation is intriguing, at least to yr. corresps., because it helps explain part of the deep appeal of hard-core films, films that are supposed to be "naked" and "explicit" but in truth are some of the most aloof, unrevealing footage for sale anywhere. Much of the cold, dead, mechanical quality of adult films is attributable, really, to the performers' faces. These are the faces that usually appear bored or blank or workmanlike but are in fact simply hidden, the self locked away someplace far behind the eyes. Surely this hiddenness is the way a human being who's giving away the very most private parts of himself preserves some sense of dignity and autonomy—he denies us true expression. (You can see this very particular bored, hard, dead look in strippers, prostitutes, and porn performers of all locales and genders.)
But it's also true that occasionally, in a hard-core scene, the hidden self appears. It's sort of the opposite of acting. You can see the porn performer's whole face change as self-consciousness (in most females) or crazed blankness (in most males) yields to some genuinely felt erotic joy in what's going on; the sighs and moans change from automatic to expressive. It happens only once in a while, but the detective is right: The effect on the viewer is electric. And the adult performers who can do this a lot—allow themselves to feel and enjoy what's taking place, cameras or no—become huge, legendary stars. The 1980s' Ginger Lynn and Keisha could do this, and now sometimes Jill Kelly and Rocco Siffredi can. Jenna Jameson and T.T. Boy cannot. They remain just bodies.
Granted, Wright uses the story to lead into the conclusion of his essay and a riff on real versus unreal—he doesn't completely buy the police officer's interpretation like Wallace does. But Wallace, writing about somebody else's anecdote, in a footnote, no less, not only gives a much more complete picture of the entire scenario by not glossing over the details—that the detective had sought Wright out, that they went out for coffee—but by digging deep and using this snapshot from Wright's "Life in Porn" to expound on the entire adult-entertainment industry.

THE INHERITANCE PROJECT was founded in 1992 to explore the emotional and social impact of inherited wealth and to show heirs how to claim their personal power and use it to bring meaning to their lives and benefit others.
The Inheritance Project (TIP) began as a collaboration between myself (Barbara Blouin) and two other inheritors. We have shared our experiences as inheritors with others in our two books and the other publications. We interviewed hundreds of inheritors because we wanted to better understand their experiences and to offer what we learned to others—in their own words—without paraphrasing, without commentary or analysis, without judgment.
Trio Press features nine titles on the subject of inheritance:
|The Legacy of Inherited Wealth
Interviews With Heirs (Revised Edition)
This book of 17 candid interviews with wealthy men and women presents an inside view of what it is like to grow up in affluence and inherit enough money to render paid work a matter of choice. A resource directory lists wealth conferences, wealth counselors, books and newsletters. 208 pages.
|Labors of Love
The Legacy of Inherited Wealth, Book II
This book is a collection of ten first-person histories about heirs who have enough wealth that they do not need to work for a living. But, as they learned, they do need to work for a life. These stories focus on how heirs have discovered ways to use their wealth and their innate gifts to help create a better world. 131 pages.
|Coming into Money
Preparing Your Children for an Inheritance
This booklet is for any wealthy parents who are thinking about whether and how to give substantial money to their children as young adults. It discusses the perils of inheriting early and suggests how parents can make plans that will help empower, not paralyze, their children. 53 pages. Resource Directory included.
|Wealth Counseling
A Guide for Therapists and Inheritors
Dennis Pearne, an experienced wealth counselor, guides mental health professionals and lay readers through the intricacies of overcoming the issues that inheriting wealth so often produces: guilt, shame, financial ignorance, low self-esteem and lack of motivation. 18 pages.
|For Love and/or Money
The Impact of Inherited Wealth on Relationships
For Love and/or Money explores how financial inequality can negatively affect friendships and intimate relationships, including marriage. Lending money is one big issue; heirs can easily become prey for fortune hunters; those married to heirs may feel disempowered by the inherent financial inequality. Suggestions are offered for dealing with these issues. 33 pages
|The Inheritor's Inner Landscape
How Heirs Feel

Find More Science Experiments
Black ink is black, right? Today you are going to find out. In this experiment you will be able to see all of the dye colors that mix together to make black ink.
What You Need:
- Paper Towel or Coffee Filter
- Bowl
- Water
- Several different kinds of black markers
Cut strips from the paper towel about 1 inch wide – one for each type of marker. Scribble across the bottom of one of the paper towel strips with each kind of marker. Scribble about one inch from one end of the paper towel strip. Tape the OTHER end of the strip to the maker you used to scribble on that strip. That will help you remember which marker goes with each paper towel strip.
Now hang the paper towel strips above the bowl of water so that only a little bit of the scribble end is in the water. Do not submerge the pen scribbles! Check on the paper towels in an hour. What has happened to the pen marks?
What you see happening on the paper towel strips is called chromatography. The color of the ink in markers is made by mixing different pigments together. A pigment is a substance that makes color, like ink or dye. To make black, several pigments are mixed together. When the end of the paper towel strip is submerged in water the water soaks up through the paper towel. When the water passes through the black ink marks it takes the pigment colors with it. Different colors of pigments travel with the water at different rates because the molecules of some pigments stick to the paper more strongly than others. So, as the water travels it separates the colors. This is called chromatography – separating the parts of a mixture so that you can see them one at a time. It looks like there is more than one way to make black!
Here are websites and books that will help you understand solutions and experiment with chromatography:
- Exploratorium Chromatography Activity Sheet
- ZOOM: Paper Towel Chromatography
- Candy Chromatography
Mixtures and Solutions Chromatography (pages 34-38)
Words to Know:
Chromatography – A process that separates a mixture by passing it through something that will separate its parts.
Mixture – A substance made by mixing two or more substances together. The molecules of the substances don't join together so the substances can be easily separated.
Homogeneous Mixture – A type of mixture that is the same throughout. Salt water and ink are good examples.
Pigment – A substance used for coloring; ink, dye, etc.

When news emerged earlier this month that Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford said he'd been called a racial epithet by an off-duty Leominster police officer before a minor league game in New Hampshire, reaction was swift. After an internal investigation, which turned up additional racist comments, the Leominster mayor fired the officer on Thursday.
But the epithet itself still has sports fans and commentators scratching their heads. Allegedly, the officer called Crawford, who is black, "Monday." Monday? The day of the week? Is this really an insult, and one that has anything to do with race?

I'm not going to say that I'm sick of watching the Hamilton Bulldogs, but… screw it. I'm really sick of watching the Hamilton Bulldogs. They've got little to brag about in terms of a prospect pool, play boring hockey, play that hockey poorly, and when they face the Toronto Marlies, tend to switch into a mode where they're attemping to start a fight every two shifts. It's in no way entertaining if you prefer skilled hockey. There's still a game to go in Hamilton on Tuesday, but after that – sweet freedom. Season series done. After two preseason and twelve regular sesaon matchups, I'm probably as happy to not see the Bulldogs in Ricoh Coliseum again as the two teams are.
That said, while this wrapping up is all good and fantastic, there was still points on the line tonight. With the Bulldogs well out of the playoff picture already, these were Toronto's points to lose, and unfortunately for them, they did just that, falling 6-4.
The first period saw Hamilton strike first, just six minutes in, courtesy of Nathan Beaulieu. The play from this point evened out, with the teams trading powerplays, before one of the more absurd things I've seen happen in a game – three minor penalties on one shift. First it was Corey Syvret, but Jamie Devane and Kenny Ryan soon followed. Syvret's penalty ended quickly, with Greg Pateryn tallying his first of the year. But the Marlies were able to respond – as Devane left, a Greg Scott fed puck came with him, ending with a wrister past Cedrick Desjardins to close the gap to one with two minutes to go in the period.
The second period saw the Bulldogs strike even earlier than the first, with Louis Leblanc scoring his 5th of the year at the 1:57 mark. The goals didn't stop there either for the Habs affiliate, as just three minutes later, Tyler Murovich added his second of the season. From that point, Toronto dominated on the shot count, had four powerplays, and gave up two of their own, but neither team could add to the score count.
That is, until the third, where things began to get interesting. Jesse Blacker scored his first of the year just a minute in. Ryan Hamilton added his 19th at the 7 minute mark. Now a one goal game, it was make or break for the Marlies. Jerry D'Amigo made it look like it was make, tying the game in the final minutes, but Louis Leblanc scored his second of the night to restore Hamilton's lead within seconds. Looking to tie the game, Spencer Abbott began to lead a rush up, but was picked off by Gabriel Dumont, who put in the empty netter.
Other Notes
Jussi Rynnas was between the pipes tonight, and stopped 20 of 25 shots. Not his best night.
Ryan Hamilton returned to the Marlies lineup today after a stint with the Leafs, and scored his 19th of the season.
Jake Gardiner continues to play what's being treated as a make-shift conditioning stint. Tonight, he had no points, took four shots, and was a -2.
Tim Connolly and Nicolas Deschamps were a team worst -3. Jerry D'Amigo lead the team as a +2.
The special teams were hit and miss – the penalty kill a solid 6 for 7, the powerplay a dreadful 0 for 8.
Ricoh Coliseum had over 6000 people here today, which is less than the past few games, but impressive when you consider that the game was rescheduled on short notice, formerly being a School Day game (work to rule is lame, says various children).
The Marlies play their next game on Saturday against the Chicago Wolves. It's a 3PM start at Ricoh Coliseum, and will also be on Rogers TV and TSN Radio 1050.

2005 Outdoor Championships: Day
2005 Outdoor Championships: Day ThreeJune 11, 2005
Heptathlon Final
Lela Nelson, Sr., Eastern Michigan
Im overwhelmed, grateful, blessed, excited and ecstatic. Im trying to think of all the big words.
Entering the long jump: I knew Im not too good at the javelin or the 800, so I just wanted to get as far ahead as possible. I guess I did that. I wasnt as confident as I should be. I hadnt done the hep since March so I was shaky. I prayed so, so much and that took care of it.
On the 800: I was just trying to stay close to Jessica [Stockard], because I knew she was below me. I knew that Ashley [Selig] was gonna be gone. I just wanted to run my race like my coach said, and stay up there.
Womens Triple Jump Final
Candice Baucham, Sr., UCLA
It was a good competition. I wasnt on the board in the beginning, but I kept moving up and slowly getting better and better. My jumps just connected on my last one it was my best. My second jump was a PR, so I was satisfied with that. But my coaches knew that I had more in me and it just kept coming. I was glad that it came up on the last one.
Getting a PR early: I knew I could just work on things instead of having to search for a mark. I could continue to just get better. Im very excited. I wanted to continue professionally, but there was a mark I wanted to get, which was 46 feet. Im just so thankful that it came at this meet.
On her last collegiate meet: It has been on my mind ever since we got here. I knew I would never get another opportunity like this again. Thats why on every jump, I just gave it everything.
Womens Shot Put Final
Kimberli Barrett, Sr., Miami (Fla.)
On winning:
All I could do was compare this year to last year, which I thought was very dismal. I felt more control than Id ever felt. The technique is simpleyou just have to give it some gas. I wanted to get my big throw out early because waiting til finals is too much of a mind game. I wanted to get myself hyped and get it while I was fresh. It makes the competition more fun.
Womens Pole Vault Final
Kate Soma, Sr., Washington
On winning:
I just wanted to have a good time and stay relaxed and anything after that was icing on the cake. After I broke the pole, I knew I had to focus on what I had to do and just make the bar. That can freak you outIve had enough experience with thatbut I just wanted to focus on what I had to do. I got into pole vaulting because I was decently fast and I had a gymnastics background and it seemed to have worked.
Womens High Jump Final
Sharon Day, So., Cal Poly
On winning:
It feels great. It felt really good in warm-ups. I just wanted to do well on my first attempts. I cant be any happier: a win and a PR. I always go out and try and jump my highest.
Womens Hammer Final
Loree Smith, Sr., Colorado State
On winning: I was so nervous today, but I tried to hide it. When you are the underdog you have someone to shoot for, but when youre the favorite, youre almost competing not to lose.
On her winning throw: It was actually pretty good. It was a little bit further than I thought it was at first. Im pretty excited.
On her mom not being in Sacramento: My mom called me eight times this morning, four times in the hotel room and four times on my cell phone. She actually had the hotel people come get me at breakfast so she could tell me my horoscope, and it was good.
Womens 5000 Meters Final
Megan Metcalfe, Sr. West Virginia
On winning:
It went out slow, so I just had to be patient. I think that helped me because I was one of the stronger milers in the group. This is my first year doing the 5000--Ive always done the 1500 in the past. This is my last year of eligibility so its nice to go out with a bang. I knew I had to stick with her [Sara Bei] and I hoped that I had more left than she did. I just had to be patient. Im surprised. Winning was the goal, but its been the goal in the past and this is my only title.
Womens 1500 Meters Final
Anne Shadle, Sr., Nebraska
On winning:
Anyone in that race couldve won it on any given day. Its great to run with girls who are so genuine and so nice. The girls Im running with now were my idols when I was in high school. [My success this year] is still overwhelming. Indoors, I gained more confidence and outdoors, I felt like I worked my way to this point and just got better through the season.
Womens 800 Meters Final
Aneita Denton, Sr., Arkansas
I really worked to go fast but I got blocked in and that held me back& I felt good on the straightaway. The way I run, Im usually way back but this time I felt upright down the straightaway& This is so good for me. This is my second NCAA title (also won an indoor title) so its good to win in my senior year. For me to win an outdoor title, I couldnt ask for more& The reason it feels so good is Im a senior. Im so happy.
Womens 400 Meters Final
Monique Henderson, Sr., UCLA
I feel good. I really capped off my college career the way I wanted to& On the backstretch, I felt a twinge in my hamstring but I sucked it up and kept going&. I never felt (that I had it won). (Tiandra) Ponteen finishes really strong so I kept on working really hard& It really felt like a race where I put it all together.
Womens 400 Hurdles Final
Shauna Smith, Sr., Wyoming
On the final 150 meters: I saw how far behind I was and I knew I had to make a move and bring it on after that. I did not put myself in a really good position like I wanted to. So I just came on as strong as I could. I wasnt as aggressive as I should have been early in the race. I went into the first hurdle all right, but I should have kept my momentum going. I wasnt going with Melanie [Walker] and Tiffany [Ross-Williams] like I would have liked. This feels really good. Its something that Ive always wanted and this is the icing on the cake for me.
Womens 200 Meters Final
Sheri-Ann Brooks, Sr., Florida International
Once I came off the curve ahead of everybody, I knew I had it. All I had to do was maintain my form and keep on pumping. Thats exactly what I did. Once I clear the curve before everybody, thats it. This was a good win. I messed up really bad in the 100 so I came back to the 200 and put everything I had into it.
Womens 4 X 400 Relay Final
Jerrika Chapple, So., Texas
On winning:
It feels really good. We all just came together and everybodys performances helped us win. We wouldnt have won the whole championship without everyones performances.
Mens Triple Jump Final
Rodrigo Mendes, Sr., Brigham Young
On winning:
Im so happy. Yesterday, I had an awesome day and I jumped so far. I was so confident and I knew that if I did my best and I could get one big jump, I felt like I could win. Ive worked so hard this year to win this event and I did it. Last year, I didnt even make finals, so I worked all year to come back and win this meet. I couldnt have done it on my own and I want to thank all of the coaches, staff, and trainers at BYU for all of their help.
Mens High Jump Final
Jesse Williams, Jr., Southern California:
I had a plan to hit every jump on the first attempt. I executed very well and did just that. Im very pleased with my performance today.
When I see people making bars on the first attempt, it makes me feel the pressure. Thats why I like competing against other people. It makes me feel the pressure that I also need to make a statement, that I can jump that height easily, too.
On the final round: I really like jumping with other people. When everyone else is out of the competition, its harder for me to get up to the level that I need to jump at. Ive got a meet here in two weeks the U.S. Nationals and Im sure there will be a lot of people who step up to the occasion so I can compete with them and get that next bar.
I would say high jump is 80 percent mental. If you can nail that down, which Ive been able to do most of this season, the sky is the limit. If you can get your concentration down, you can do anything.
Mens Discus Final
Michael Robertson, Jr., Stanford:
It was very satisfying, especially the way it happened. It was a battle from the first round. I came out and got a good one, but there was a lot left. I came back out on my second one and felt sort of the same. Then Vikas [Gowda] first throws beat mine by 10 centimeters and then by three. After that, both of us were trying to catch one another. I managed to get one in the fifth round and put the pressure on. I was slicing the baloney thin through the first two rounds.
Vikas had the pole position on me in the finals. I tried to put it out there in the sixth round and I got a good throw, but it wasnt farther. I just got lucky that he didnt put it together in his sixth. Hes had a great season. Hes been around that 60-61 area all year.
On his fifth-round throw: They all felt very similar. The first two throws were a little rough. In the fifth round, I kept my hips down a little better out of the back. It kept myself in contact with the discus in the throw. That was the adjustment the coach told me to make. I just went out there, did what he said, and it worked.
Mens 5000 Meters Final
Ryan Hall, Jr., Stanford:
On the 1-2 finish with teammate Ian Dobson: That was Ian and I working together at the end. We just really respect each other running hard all the time. Weve train really well together. So I dont see it as I won and he got second. That was both of us winning. That was our goal all season. It was amazing to have it end according to plan.
We wanted to make it an honest race and the other competitors made it go. I really appreciate that. We all want to see a good 5K and who can run the fastest. In the middle stages, I was just tucking in and felt really good. Ian and I planned to continue pressing the pace through two miles, and we just going with it. [Robert] Cheseret ran a good 10K. We knew we had to have a gap to beat him because he has some foot speed. I think everyone was thinking on that same race strategy.
On looking back before the final stretch: I was looking to see how much Ian had on [Nick] Willis to see how hard we would have to run that last 100. We were both really tired. It was great to finish together. I couldnt ask for it to be any better.
Mens 1500 Meters Final
Leonel Manzano, Fr., Texas:
I feel awesome. I didnt know what to expect coming into the race. The last 100 meters, I started feeling a little bit fatigued but I thought to myself, I still have enough energy to give it a good kick. I was actually hoping to make a move in the last 200, but I got badly boxed in. The guys were spread out into the third and fourth lanes. It was difficult to do that. So I knew I had to do it in the last 100 meters. I came out of the curve, and was pretty fatigued. But I felt like I had a little bit of kick in me so I said, lets do it right now before its too late.
Mens 800 Meters Final
Dmitrijs Milkevics, So., Nebraska
I dont know if Im more happy for winning or for my result. When I saw the result, I was pleased. Thats a big-time PR and its still early in the season. I just need to execute my form until the World Championships.
Mens 400 Meters Final
Darold Williamson, Sr., Baylor
On winning:
After yesterday, I just wanted to execute, wanted to run a smart race. I knew that If I was with the rest of the guys at the last turn, I would win. I just wanted to hang on and run strong.
Thats why I came back to Baylor-to prove my worth before I come out on the scene.
On his kick at the end: When most people get started, thats when I start my horse.
On former teammate Jeremy Wariner:
Jeremy is in France right now. I called him after my race yesterday and it was 5:30 in the morning there. He was up and already knew what I had run in the semifinals. He and I are good friends and were always happy for each other when we run well.
Mens 400 Hurdles Final
Kerron Clement, So., Florida
Its amazing. It feels good to win a national title again. I was focused today. My goal was to win and beat my PR and I accomplished that.
On trailing Bennie Brazell after 10th hurdle
I wasnt really worried when he was in the lead after the 10th hurdle because I knew my speed would kick in after that.
Mens 200 Meters Final
Wallace Spearmon, So., Arkansas
On winning:
I knew I had to get out, so once I came around that turn, I knew I had it. You have to step it up for your team. I knew that whomever won was going to have run fast because we had the top three times in the world in that race.
On clinching the team title
Our coach didnt say too much about it, but Tyson [Gay], Omar [Brown] and I knew beforehand that if we were going to get it done, we had a good chance to do it in that race. They said Arkansas wasnt a spring school, but we had to prove them wrong.
Mens 4 X 400 Relay Final
Xavier Carter, Fr., LSU (anchor)
We knew that all four runners would have to run hard to win. We established it in our heads that we would take this to the limit. Even if we didnt win, we knew that we ran as hard as we could. My team blessed me with a lead, so I felt I had to hold onto it. I had a lot of good runners behind me, like Kerron Clements and a few others.
On taking the lead at the first turn: Because I had such good 400 runners behind me, I felt like I had to get out in the first 200, as if they were going to come get me anyway. So I was going to break them down in the first 200. They seemed like they wanted to whip me, so I had to just had to hold on.

Nearly 900 species are threatened with extinction and at least 10 more have vanished from Viet Nam, according to the latest Viet Nam Red Data Book of endangered plants and animals released on June 26th in Hanoi by the Viet Nam Academy of Science and Technology and IUCN.
"It has been 15 years since we compiled the first version of the Viet Nam Red Data Book.The country's biodiversity status has changed a lot because of its rapid social and economic development", said Prof. Dr. Dang Ngoc Thanh, Head of the 2007 Red Data Book Development Project Team, "The revision of the Book accurately captures the current status of biodiversity in Viet Nam."
The Book revealed an alarming picture of Viet Nam's fauna and flora richness. A large number of species previously listed as vulnerable are now endangered and a high percentage of this group is now critically endangered. From 1992-1996, the most severe threatened status for species in Viet Nam, according to the Red Data Book, was endangered. Now, the most serious status is extinct. The number of endangered species has increased from 715 in 1992-1996 to 882 in 2005-2007.
Yet, the current Red Data Book also contains encouraging information for the status of biodiversity in the area. A number of species that were considered either extinct in the wild or extinct in Viet Nam, have been found in neighboring countries, according to IUCN's data, such as Bò sám (Bos sauveli), Tê giác hai sừng (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis), Heo vòi (Tapirus indicus), Cầy rái cá (Cynogale lowei), and Cá chép gốc (Procypris merus). Furthermore, there are highly valuable yet critically endangered species that have exhibited population recovery and are no longer seriously threatened thanks to conservation efforts. These include the Hươu sao (Cervus nippon), Voọc đầu trắng (Trachypithecus francoisi poliocephalus), and some pheasant, python, and crocodile species.
The 2007 Red Data Book is a tool to assist Viet Nam's conservation efforts by providing a threatened status assessment of species as well as solutions for recovering the community size of species experiencing significant individual loss.
The Viet Nam 2007 Red List and the Viet Nam 2007 Red Data Book were developed over five years by a team of more than 70 scientists from 10 national and international organizations, using the 1994 IUCN criteria for categorizing species. In addition to updating surveys and research as recent as 2005, the documentation development project also conducted a review of contested references and organized consultative workshops to resolve conflicting findings.
IUCN has helped promote the document by providing assistance to develop the English version of the 2007 Red List and make the List electronically available via CD-Rom for easy access.

One of the most common operations performed on a PC is moving/copying files. Using a free application called Teracopy, we copied large numbers of two file types from one folder to another on the same drive. Teracopy allows us to objectively measure the time of transfer and using the same drive prevents other devices from tainting the outcome. The operation requires the drive to perform both sustained read and writes simultaneously. The first set of files is a 5GB collection of JPG's of variable size and compression levels with a few movie (.MOV) files thrown in for good measure since most cameras now take video as well as stills.
The second is a collection of MP3 files of various sizes which totals 5GB collectively. These file types were chosen due to their wide use and mixture of file sizes and compression levels.
Install Results: The file copy times for the Corsair Force GT were right around the expected marks and more or less in the middle of the pack. Moving 5 GB of data in less than one minute is still getting it done.
We also timed the installation of a few rather lengthy applications/suites as app installs is something everyone does and waiting for completion can be a drag. We used Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, Microsoft Office 2010 Professional and Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage (v1.102.1901) as our test subjects with all install settings at default. Both were installed from an installer located on the target drive itself as installing from another drive, especially an optical drive, would cause a bottle-neck that would corrupt the results. The timing for these had to be done via stopwatch so there should be about a half second +/- error margin. Again, with the source and target drives being the same, concurrent read/write activity is required.
Install Results: On the app installs, we again see scores on par with expectations and actually better than most of the other drives in the comparison.
We'll wrap this with a look at the total drive capacity and our final thoughts.

Romance is in the air at The BookCellar. To celebrate Valentine's Day, the Fond du Lac Public Library's used books-and-more store is holding a Bundles of Love sale: bundles of five to six romance paperbacks are just 25 cents. The sale will take place February 4, February 6, February 11 and February 13.
Artwork by students kindergarten through eighth grade will be featured in the exhibit, A Taste of Art from Faith Lutheran School, at the library's Langdon Divers Gallery through February.
Fond du Lac Public Library Director Ken Hall has announced he will retire on July 27, 2012, completing 10 years with the library.
Hall has worked for more than 34 years in public libraries in Appleton, Wisconsin Rapids and Two Rivers. He was brought to Fond du Lac in 2002 to oversee the library's massive expansion and renovation project.
The Fond du Lac Public Library will offer popular storytimes starting January 31 for children from 12 months to 5 years old. There is no registration required for any of these sessions; parents and kids can drop in at their convenience. The three storytimes are broken down by age group:
Most Americans spend 13 percent of their income on food. But by using a handful of smart shopping tips, a consumer can eat just as well on a lot less. Money Smart U is offering Grocery Shopping Strategies, at 6 p.m. Wednesday, February 15, at the Fond du Lac Public Library.
If you have experience working with groups of children, you find a room of smiling young faces undaunting and you love to tell a good story, the Fond du Lac Public Library hopes you will consider applying to be a Storytime presenter.
Over the years, the Storytime program has grown in popularity. Children are invited to come (with a grown-up) for 30-minute sessions of stories and play that instill a love of reading and a love of books. The library would like to expand the program, and needs help doing so.
People just starting out using computers can get a helping hand at "Introduction to Computers," a series of four classes at the Fond du Lac Public Library in February.
The hands-on classes will be held from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. February 7, 8, 14 and 15. Each class will tackle a computer skill: how to use a mouse, how to find things on the internet, basic terminology and commands (such as cut/copy/paste) and an introduction to email. Participants will be working on library computers. Laptop owners can bring their devices; make sure to note that when signing up.
It's a simple act: an adult reading aloud to a child. But the simplicity underlies great importance. According to reading and learning experts, reading aloud with children is the single most important activity for parents to prepare children to learn to read. It can:

The debentures are redeemable in cash in whole or in part at specified prices declining to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest at the company's option beginning on March 6, 2011, upon at least 20 days' but not more than 60 days' notice by mail to holders of debentures.

Series Preview: Cardinals v. Cubs, August 16, 2013 – August 18, 2013
First the Reds, now the Cardinals?
By way of reminder, the Series Preview hooks you up with what you need to know about every series this year – streaks, broadcast information, pitchers, expected lineups, etc. That way, if you want to check only one place to get a sense about an upcoming series, or to plan ahead, you've got it. There's also some fun stuff, because fun stuff is fun.
We're Going Streaking
The Cubs were swept by the Reds, who have dominated the Cubs this year. The team stands a season-worst 16 games below .500.
The Cardinals have lost five of eight, thought they're still just a couple games behind the Pirates in the Central.
Game Times and Broadcasts
- Friday, August 16 at 3:05 CT on CSN.
- Saturday, August 17 at 3:05 CT on FOX.
- Sunday, August 18 at 1:20 CT on WGN.
Expected Starters and Lineups
These lineups are likely to be pretty close to what actually gets fielded, but you'll want to check each day's Pre-Gamin' post for the actual lineup.
Starters: Jake Arrieta (0-0, 1.50), Travis Wood (7-9, 3.00), Edwin Jackson (7-12, 5.05)
- David DeJesus, CF
- Junior Lake, LF
- Anthony Rizzo, 1B
- Welington Castillo, C
- Nate Schierholtz, RF
- Starlin Castro, SS
- Donnie Murphy, 3B
- Darwin Barney, 2B
- Pitcher
Starters: Jake Westbrook (7-7, 4.11), Joe Kelly (3-3, 3.14), Adam Wainwright (13-7, 2.71)
- Matt Carpenter, 2B
- Carlos Beltran, RF
- Matt Holliday, LF
- Allen Craig, 1B
- Yadier Molina, C
- David Freese, 3B
- Jon Jay, CF
- Pete Kozma, SS
- Pitcher
Hot or Not and Whom to Watch
Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro are rather cold. I don't have the heart to post the stats, because they're so important to the future, but let's all just hope for a hot stretch to close things out.
Jake Arrieta gets the start in the opener, and I'll be watching very closely. He's got stuff that's very easy to dream on, and it would be great to go into the offseason having seen him tear it up for the past six weeks.
If you took Donnie Murphy's current home run pace with the Cubs and extended it out to 600 at bats, he'd be on pace for an 80 home run season. Eat that, Barry and Chris.
Matt Carpenter leads the league in hits, doubles, and runs. He's on a hot streak, and he's hitting .315/.385/.480. Why wouldn't he break out like this as 26/27 after a minor league career where he hit decently but was always old for his level? The Cardinals grow these guys on freaking trees.
Jake Westbrook started the season out crazy hot, but if you clip out his first five starts, he's got a 5.58 ERA and opponents are putting up a .788 OPS.
