Your design team has come up with a gorgeous prototype for the next iteration of your home page. It conforms to known design and usability best practices, and your testers loved it in the lab. You push the design to your live site and the results are … well, a little disappointing. Not terrible, but your conversion rate hasn't made the leap you expected.
Why? You've done everything by the book, but perhaps the book is missing a chapter or two. Chances are, you've accidentally made one of three common design mistakes, and these mistakes have affected how your pages load, which ultimately hurts page views, bounce rate, conversions, and pretty much every business metric you care about.
If it's any consolation, you're not alone. A recent survey of retail websites found that many of the top global ecommerce brands are making the same mistakes.
The Relationship Between Page Speed and Business Metrics
I'll keep this short, in case you're already familiar with the knowledge that there's a direct relationship between how quickly a web application performs and how effective it is at doing whatever it's intended to do. Over the past few years, there's been a growing body of evidence that makes an undeniable connection between page speed and key performance indicators such as page views, bounce rate, cart size, sales, customer satisfaction, and pretty much any other business metric you can think of.
For example, an in-house Walmart.com study found that, for every one second of load time improvement, the site experienced up to a 2% increase in conversions. For every 100 milliseconds of improvement, incremental revenues grew by up to 1%. And in another study about the impact of page delay on ecommerce metrics, my own company, Radware, found that a mere one-second HTML delay resulted in the following penalties for an ecommerce client:
- 3.5% decrease in conversion rate,
- 2.1% drop in cart size,
- 9.4% fewer page views, and
- 8.3% increase in bounce rate.
What's the Sweet Spot?
According to Google, pages should ideally render content above the fold in one second or less, even for smartphones. This is a pretty aggressive goal, so most people in the performance community have coalesced around the agreement that if you're serving your primary content in three seconds or less, you're doing okay, if not great.
Unfortunately, most retailers—even big household-name e-commerce shops—aren't hitting this three-second target. Among the top 100 online retailers, the median time to interact (aka TTI, the moment when a page's primary content renders and becomes interactive) is 5.3 seconds; only 18% of these sites had a TTI of 3 seconds or less, and 26% took 8 seconds or longer to become interactive.
A Bit of Background into Our Research …
Since 2010, Radware has been measuring and tracking the performance and page composition of leading e-commerce sites. The purpose of this research is to gain ongoing visibility into the real-world performance of leading e-commerce sites—to learn how these sites perform for visitors sitting at home using the internet under normal browsing conditions—and to provide strategies and best practices that will enable site owners to serve pages faster. (Full disclosure: We have a technology called FastView that automates many of these best practices.)
Late last year, we ran a series of performance tests for the top 100 e-commerce sites for our quarterly State of the Union for e-commerce web performance. Using WebPagetest—an online tool supported by Google—we tested the load time and composition of the home pages for each site.
A surprising number of these sites are making the same three design/usability mistakes over and over
An under-appreciated and under-utilized WebPagetest feature that allows you to generate a timed frame-by-frame filmstrip-style view of a page's entire load time led us to the discovery that a surprising number of these sites are making the same three design/usability mistakes over and over, and that these mistakes are profoundly hurting load times, and ultimately users.
When Good Practices Go Bad
The reason these mistakes proliferate is because they're insidious. To understand how they happen, we first have to understand how they're masked by the guise of various design best practices. (Note: Throughout this post, I'll be citing examples from specific websites, but I don't want this to be perceived as throwing anyone under the bus. These are incredibly common issues, so there's no need for any one site owner to bear more than their share of performance shame.)
Best Practice #1: Feature banners/carousels that occupy prime screen real estate
The feature banner or carousel pushing sales and special promotions is such an entrenched aspect of e-commerce design that we don't even think about it. In fact, we take feature banners so much for granted that we don't always put much thought into when and how they end up on the page.
Why this best practice is a worst practice: For many of the pages we studied, the feature banner was the last element to load. This filmstrip view (which has been compressed to 5-second increments) of the QVC.com home page is typical of many of the pages we looked at:
The navigation elements don't load until close to the five-second mark, and then the feature area displays a progress indicator for almost five more seconds before the banner image suddenly renders.
A separate eye-tracking study by Jakob Nielsen demonstrates exactly why this loading sequence fails both users and site owners: a user who is served feature content within the first second of page load spend 20% of his or her time within the feature area, whereas a user who is subjected to an eight-second delay of a page's feature content spends only 1% of his or her time visually engaging with that area of the page.
In other words, rendering your most important content last is a great way to ensure that it won't get seen.
The solution: There are a few straightforward fixes here. First is optimizing the order in which your page objects render. This tip is so obvious that it feels silly to write it out, but given the number of household-name sites that fail to do this, it bears mentioning.
The next tip—or really, set of tips—is to optimize the feature images themselves. Images comprise more than half of a typical page's total payload, and much of this bulk is unnecessary. Image compression is a basic performance technique that allows developers to reduce this payload, but of the 100 sites we tested, only 9% had properly implemented it.
We also found that 87% of sites don't take advantage of progressive image rendering, probably because of the bad reputation progressive JPEGs earned in the 1990s, back when the entire Internet moved at glacial speed. A progressive JPEG loads in a series of scans, beginning with a low-resolution version of the image and progressing at increasing resolution levels until the final full resolution is achieved. Implemented properly, progressive image rendering improves perceived load time because the user receives visual feedback earlier than with a baseline JPEG.
Best Practice #2: Primary call-to-action buttons/links are located at the bottom of the feature banner
Again, this is a practice that, like banners themselves, we've grown to expect. A typical banner's layout, as illustrated here on the Costco home page, goes something like this: background image, header copy, descriptive text, and then CTA button.
Why this best practice is a worst practice: While some feature banners do become interactive before they've fully rendered, many do not until the image fully loads, which is signaled by the rendering of the CTA button. If you're a user who is conditioned to believe that the feature banner isn't clickable until the CTA button is visible, then you could be sitting on your hands for several seconds.
In the case of this version of the Costco home page, the link to "Click here for online-only coupon offers" should ostensibly be very important to shoppers. Yet it's buried at the very bottom of the banner. Let's see how this positioning renders in the last 5 seconds that it takes for the Costco home page to fully render:
Note that the CTA doesn't load until the very last frame. In other words, some users could spend the entire nine seconds that it takes this page to fully render before they see the CTA button and begin to interact with the page.
The solution: Again, optimizing the order in which the page objects render, plus optimizing the images and buttons themselves to render progressively, would fix this issue. And here's a crazy idea: if the CTA is important, consider simply moving it to the top of the banner.
Best Practice #3: Designing and usability testing in an ivory tower
In the spirit of total honesty, I will confess up front that, back in my usability testing days, I was totally guilty of doing this. I'd work with designers to develop prototypes on their souped-up Macs, then bring our testers into the lab and put the site through its paces. I'd take rigorous notes, oversee the necessary revisions, re-test as needed, lather, rinse, and repeat. We'd move the prototype down the assembly line for implementation and then issue a round of high fives.
Why this best practice is a worst practice: Where to even start … Designing and testing wireframes and prototypes in studios and labs only tells you how a site performs in an ideal setting—using a fast system, the latest browser, a speedy connection, and a preloaded browser cache—all while sitting just a few feet away from the host server. But most visitors aren't in an ideal setting. A typical visitor's at-home computer setup could be five times slower (or even more!) than your lab setting.
And then there's the issue of third-party scripts that can slow down or even block page rendering. This is a common and often an excruciating problem that can only be felt on a live site.
At some point between the design phase and the go-live phase, performance gets lost as each team (design, test, development) assumes that the granular aspects of page load and performance is someone else's responsibility. When that happens, the result is pages like this, which take upwards of 20 seconds to load for actual users:
The solution: I can't stress this enough: performance should be the responsibility of every person who touches a page, from conception through to deployment. Too often, performance is an afterthought and becomes the responsibility of the last person to touch the page: namely, developers. Not only is this unfair, it also neglects the many ways that, as designers and user experience people, we can add our unique expertise to make pages faster.
Performance must be integrated into every phase of the design, testing, and development process. Web teams need to see their pages the way that real people see their pages: slowed down frame by frame.
Before deployment, one way to do this is to artificially throttle the connection during the design and test phases. Observe the order in which objects render and where things stall. After deployment, you can use synthetic tools such as WebPagetest (which has the advantage of being free and easy to use) in conjunction with real-user monitoring tools, of which there are many to choose from.
Fixing These Problems = Happier Users + Happier Site Owners
Let's bring this back to metrics. I'll close with a few more case studies for the unconvinced among you:
- Shopzilla sped up average load time from 6 seconds to 1.2 seconds and increased revenue by up to 12% and page views by 25%.
- Mozilla shaved 2.2 seconds from their landing pages, thereby increasing download conversions by 15.4%.
- AutoAnything.com cut page load times in half and increased sales by 13%.
- Yahoo! Increased traffic by 9% for every 400 milliseconds of improvement.
For more on these best practices and other performance issues, I encourage you to download Radware's quarterly ecommerce report, and let me know if you have any questions or comments.

If you think you've done nearly everything a cook can with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, it might be time to talk turkey.
Other than the big bird at Thanksgiving and ground turkey when they're craving a virtuous burger, most people overlook turkey. And fair enough. Ground turkey can be dry and tasteless. And who has time to roast a bird (or even a massive breast) most nights of the week?
But the turkey tenderloin — a thick strip of meat cut from between the bird's breasts — turns out to be a convenient, delicious and healthy alternative. Because the tenderloin doesn't get much of a workout when the bird is alive, the meat is particularly tender. And like chicken breasts, it is incredibly versatile, taking well to the grill, skillet or oven, and working well with any flavour or marinade.
The tenderloins — which average anywhere between 8 ounces and 1 pound — also are agreeable to a variety of cuts. Slice them crosswise into medallions, lengthwise into tenders for breading and baking, or into chunks for stir-fry.
Because of their size, tenderloins also take well to being stuffed. Use a paring to knife to cut a slit along one side into the meat (without going all the way through). This creates a pocket which can be filled with a blend of ricotta cheese, egg, herbs and chopped greens.
The real benefits of turkey tenderloins are the flavour and texture. Though they resemble chicken breasts, and can be used in just about any recipe that calls from them, the flavour is more robust and the texture more tender and moist.
You also save a few calories. A 4-ounce serving of turkey tenderloin has 130 calories and 0.5 grams of fat. The same serving of boneless, skinless chicken breast has 144 calories and nearly 6 grams of fat.
Banish all notions of dried out ground turkey burgers. This technique produces truly moist burgers. In fact, when you form the patties, they will be very moist and messy. Once they hit the grill, they hold together fine.
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/4 pounds turkey tenderloin, cut into large chunks
2 ounces prosciutto
4 hamburger buns
4 ounces manchego cheese
Heat a grill to medium. Oil the grates, or coat them with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, garlic powder, mustard powder, paprika, black pepper and salt. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine the turkey and prosciutto. Pulse until the meat is well chopped but still chunky, about 10 seconds total. Scrape the sides of the bowl and pulse again if any large pieces remain unchopped.
Transfer the meat to the bowl with the egg mixture, then mix well. Form the meat into 4 loose patties. They will be moist and not hold together well.
Use a spatula to carefully place the burgers on the grill and cook, covered, for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the burgers — they should be firm enough to move easily now — and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until they read 165 F at the centre. Top each burger with a quarter of the cheese, then serve on a bun.

I can never keep straight whether Brazilians are supposed to be Hispanic/Latino or not — and therefore a legally protected class eligible for affirmative action and disparate impact discrimination lawsuits. That's because the U.S. government is woozy on this question. Brazilians don't speak Spanish so they can hardly be said to be Hispanic, but they are from Latin America, so maybe they are Latino?
The 2010 Census said:
"Hispanic or Latino" refers to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race
Okay, so Brazilians are from "South or Central America," but they aren't from "Spanish culture or origin." There's no logical AND in the definition that says they have to be "Spanish culture" but it's kind of implied.
So, it's a mess. But, after all, there are only 195,000,000 people in Brazil, so why should the U.S. government bother to make up its mind before even more get here? After all, we can all predict that once enough Brazilians are in the United States to make up a sizable political bloc and they realize the advantages of being a protected class, they will be definitively defined as entitled to all the preferences currently going to Latinos. That's how things work in the U.S. As Christopher Caldwell said in a slightly different context:
"One moves swiftly and imperceptibly from a world in which affirmative action can't be ended because its beneficiaries are too weak to a world in which it can't be ended because its beneficiaries are too strong."
Update: I found an essay from the always helpful Pew Hispanic Center on "Who Is Hispanic?" Basically, it comes down to shamelessness:
Here's a quick primer on how the Census Bureau approach works.
Q. I immigrated to Phoenix from Mexico. Am I Hispanic?
A. You are if you say so.
Q. My parents moved to New York from Puerto Rico. Am I Hispanic?
A. You are if you say so.
Q. My grandparents were born in Spain but I grew up in California. Am I Hispanic?
A. You are if you say so.
Q. I was born in Maryland and married an immigrant from El Salvador. Am I Hispanic?
A. You are if you say so.
Q. My mom is from Chile and my dad is from Iowa. I was born in Des Moines. Am I Hispanic?
A. You are if you say so.
Q. I was born in Argentina but grew up in Texas. I don't consider myself Hispanic. Does the Census count me as an Hispanic?
A. Not if you say you aren't.
(No, I didn't make that up. Let me take a moment once again to salute the Pew Hispanic Center, which is about ten times better than they would have to be.)
At present, not many Brazilians in the U.S. say they are Hispanic/Latino. That would be a good reason to emphasize the word "Hispanic" over "Latino," since the former probably turns off Brazilians. We are not miserable Hispanics, we are proud Lusitanics!
Anyway, I bring Brazilians up because the Economist had an article on race in Brazil, "Affirming a Divide." Whether or not Brazilians are Hispanics, they share a lot of cultural traits with Latinos: namely, they are racist as hell. It's just not old American-style one drop anti-black racism. Instead of a color line, they have a color continuum, which allows practically everybody to discriminate enthusiastically against somebody a little darker or woolier-haired than themselves. You can even hope to rise up the color continuum. Ambitious Brazilians can get their hair relaxed, stay out of the sun, maybe use one of those scary-sounding skin bleachers like Sammy Sosa did, and, voila, they are whiter than they used to be. Similarly, if sisters can be racially different in Brazil is one is fairer and straighter-haired. And if not you, then perhaps you can marry a fairer person so your children will be fairer. And even if you can't do that, perhaps one of your children will look whiter just due to random genetic luck. So, there is always hope for social advancement!
Not surprisingly, this works as a pretty effective Divide and Conquer strategy for the whites who run Brazil. Thus, only over the last decade has the Brazilian government begun gingerly experimenting with race and class-based affirmative action, and still does very little in the way of suing for discrimination.
Also, not surprisingly, it's easy to cheat the new quota system in Brazil: get a tan, get your hair permed, and maybe you'll get in under a quota. They are supposed to have panels to inspect people who claim to be black enough to qualify for a quota. That would make a fun Brazilian reality TV / makeover show: You could follow two groups: a bunch of blackish people trying to lighten up to get past the velvet rope at a fancy nightclub, and a bunch of whitish people trying to darken down to win quota spots at a university.

Browns of Brockley - coming soon
Browns of Brockley is the new name for the shop on Coulgate Street, formerly known as Dandelion Blue.
Brockley Central briefly caught up with new owner, Ross, on Sunday. Here's what he told us about his plans:
Like Dandelion Blue, Browns of Brockley will be a deli. He hopes to open soon, possibly by the end of this month. However, there will be some key differences, aside from the new colour scheme.
Ross is planning to offer a wider variety of fresh produce and to alternate the stock more often. We can also expect the pricing structure to be a little different - if one criticism was levelled at Dandelion Blue more than any other, it was that many customers felt it was too expensive. We can still expect some high-price, high-quality items, but there will be a more affordable range alongside them.
He's also planning to make the shop a little more experiential, with tastings, demonstrations and talks, from time to time.
We hope to bring you a fuller interview about Ross' plans in the near future. In the mean time, you can follow him on Twitter here (and of course, follow BC here).

mtDNA of Tarim mummies
The National Geographic documentary on the Tarim mummies reports on recent mtDNA work on the Tarim mummies. The program doesn't really reveal anything new to anyone familiar with the story of these mummies, but there are some nice segments of some of them as they would have been during their lifetime. At some point, the camera shows what appear to be haplogroup assignments, although I wouldn't vouch as to what these actually mean. or to who exactly they belong. What they do say is that they found markers from "Europe, West Eurasia, Siberia, Tibet, Mongolia, even India". They also mention that the "Beauty of Loulan", the "Boy" have "unexpected marks of East Asian ancestry", and "Cherchen Man" also carries "a surprising East Asian lineage" and that the "Shaman" has a "lineage frequently seen in the Himalayas and India".

Another political correct bullshit!
It reminds me documentaries that pictured a Capoid type as the original Homo Sapiens Sapiens man.
So the Tarim mummies were mongrels, ah?
They were not robust, blond, Caucasoids, ah?
Another "victory" of the supporters of the multiracial, multicultural society, since the Tocharian and Saka cultures of the Tarim were not the product of White peoples but of mongrels, ah?
Not surprising that the force behind that channel is the Fox Cable Networks, a company of RUPERT MURDOCH, the well known Globalization and anti-Nationalist Jewish bourgeois who owns pro-multiracial and anti-White channels and media that do propaganda in favor of a mutlicultural, multiracial planet (something like the Babel tower)!
Perhaps the channel should be better called the National Jewographic Channel. - Friday, June 13, 2008 10:43:00 pm

Careful, Antigonos. I'm sure the ADL is already in the process of sending you a nasty letter. :P
I'm assuming it was not possible to recover any YDNA. It would have been very interesting to see the combinations of mtDNA and YDNA among the mummies. - Saturday, June 14, 2008 12:14:00 am
- Crimson Guard said...
Antigonos are you sure you dont go by another name around these parts?
Not sure whats so unbelievable here besides. As these people were always supposed to be mixed and more East Asian. I think only the online "Nordicists" would have a problem with these results, as they were the ones pushing for their "Celtic" & "Germanic" origins for some time.
Those cheekbones on that woman too, were really something of a tell tale mark. Mongolid, Asiatic Alpines and Turanoids wouldve sufficed no doubt for these people on the average. - Saturday, June 14, 2008 12:17:00 am

I see no political correctness here. Political discriminaton.
They say "Shaman" has a "lineage frequently seen in the Himalayas and India".
and then
they found markers from "Europe, West Eurasia, Siberia, Tibet, Mongolia, even India".
Whey '"Even"' when referred to India?.
There can feel good for Europe but not for India. Even When it is geographically closer and Indian markers are found. - Saturday, June 14, 2008 3:13:00 am

@South Central (just a note):
India is arguably closer in straight line but in fact it's more distant for someone walking or, specially, on horse. And in fact Central Asia in general shows an almost equal presence of Western and Eastern Eurasian lineages but much less so of South Asian clades. They are there, sure, but it's not like the South Asian genetic pool is in any way a major constituent of the Central Asian peoples' lienages.
So it's not so surprising, ok, but it's somewhat less obviouly expected than West and East Eurasian lineages.
I cannot get in the mind of the author but guess that's why. - Saturday, June 14, 2008 4:05:00 am

Miz Rand Blowtown: "Maybe ancient,and isolated peoples had no problem interbreeding". Not just ancient peoples. In most regions today interbreeding is common. It tends to be least where cultural beliefs opposing it are well established. When I was in West Africa a common complaint I heard was that us white people never join any villages and set up our own compound. Sounds like they were in favour of interbreeding! And where I live interbreeding between the indigenous inhabitants and people of European origin is completely normal.
Maju; "And in fact Central Asia in general shows an almost equal presence of Western and Eastern Eurasian lineages but much less so of South Asian clades'. Exactly. Maps of haplogroup distribution indicate that such regions as Iran and the Central Asian steppes lie on a crossroad of haplogroup movement. Perhaps we might assume this has always been so?
Like most of us here, and unlike Antigonos, I find the conclusions in the TV program totally unsurprising. - Saturday, June 14, 2008 7:52:00 am

Oh. Pconroy. Lucy Lawless may have some Polynesian ancestry so she too probably has a widespread geographic mix of genes including East Asian, South Asian and European.

It's a possibility. The other possibility is that the West Eurasian component is older and the East Asian more recent (since Turkic expansion few centuries BCE). I'm rather with this last model based on archaeology: everything seems of West Eurasian origin until the Scythians in Central Asia, then the Turks (and briefly the Mongols) replaced them as "lords of the steppes" until Russian expansion.
But cultural "westerness" does not necesarily mean genetic or phenotypical "westerness", much less pure-bloodness. In fact we know that Eastern/Siberian genes and types have been flowing westward at a higher latitude since long before the Turkic expansion.
So there is some uncertainty. - Saturday, June 14, 2008 8:27:00 am

"That type of evidence-free anti-Semitic comment doesn't belong here".
Is Rupert Murdoch a pro-Globalization bourgeois, yes or no?
Does his channels support multiracial and multicultural ideas, yes or no?
Does he have programs and ESPECIALLY talk shows which support the common global market idea and pictures Nationalism as something bad (like in the Serbian War), yes or no?
In the News how often do you see crimes against Whites done by other races and how often do you see the same and the same and the same crime when that was done by Whites against other races in USA?
The particular show as Dienekes described it, presents a populace in Tarim which was the product of Mongoloids and Caucasoids (with a bid of Indid element all along) and thus that the Tocharian and Iranic stock that lived there was a mixed population.
On the contrary, Dr. Mair and Prof. JP Mallory showed through their work that:
It is the Afanasevo culture to which we trace the earliest Bronze Age settlers of the Tarim and Turpan basins. The Afanasevo culture (c. 3500–2500 BC) displays cultural and genetic connections with the Indo-European-associated cultures of the Eurasian Steppe yet predates the specifically Indo-Iranian-associated Andronovo culture (c. 2000–900 BC) enough to isolate the Tocharian languages from Indo-Iranian linguistic innovations like satemization.
Mair concluded:
"We have found that EVEN during the first 1,000 years after the Loulan Beauty, the only settlers in the Tarim Basin WERE CAUCASOID. East Asian peoples ONLY began showing up in the eastern portions of the Tarim Basin about 3,000 years ago, Mair said, while the Uighur peoples arrived after the collapse of the Orkon Uighur Kingdom, largely based in modern day Mongolia, around the year 842."
Han Kangxin in Mallory, J. P. & Mair, Victor H. "The Tarim Mummies: Ancient China and the Mystery of the Earliest Peoples from the West", London: Thames & Hudson, has also written that the skulls of 302 mummies he examined relate the earlier Tarim Basin population with the Europoid populations of the Afanasevo culture situated immediately north of the Tarim Basin and the Andronovo culture that spanned Kazakhstan and reached southwards into West Central Asia and the Altai!!!
Well ladies and gentlemen, can you tell me how does the documentary portray the Loulan Beauty as being half Mongoloid-half Europoid when scientists that dedicated time and effort from their lives in studying her support the EXACT OPPOSITE?
They used the mtDNA to represent the various individuals!!!
mtDNA and Y-DNA mutations do not have anything to do with the physical appearance of an individual!
They do not determine the phenotype.
They can postulate only how our ancestors PROBABLY were!!!
Since i am Caucasoid and i do bare a "European" Y-DNA haplogroup if i marry a Capoid woman with a typical DNA of the Capoid people and i have a son, this son of mine would be a Capoid/Caucasoid ancestry man WITH A "EUROPEAN" Y-DNA Hg!!!
If he now marries a Negro woman and again has a son, his son and my grandson would be a Capoid/Negroid/Caucasoid ancestry man WITH A CLEAR "EUROPEAN" Y-DNA Hg!!!
What does this mean?
That my grandson or my son are "Europeans" racially speaking?
Be reasonable people!
Only autosomal DNA can show us things about the racial status of an individual (and that only if natural selection, or genetic drift have not altered the mutations)!!!
It is irrelevant to reconstruct anatomically a person based on his mtDNA WHEN YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN PERSON MUMMIFIED IN FRONT OF YOU AND IN SUCH A GOOD CONDITION THAT IT IS LIKE IT WAS BURIED YESTERDAY!!!
Showing people who are anatomically Europoid as half-breeds is PROVOCATIVE!
Forensic anthropology has shown that the Tarim Mummies were robust, tall, and very often blond Caucasoids.
Bad information, you might say!
Dienekes when two years ago you published an essay of Americans who supported that Jews are affecting the foreign policy of the USA, were you anti-Semitic?
Why do you accuse me of being such?
You know essays are not juridicial decisions friend!
It's not a decision of the Court!
It's just beliefs and thoughts of individuals!
Why these folks who wrote this essay, and which you reproduced in your site, are not anti-Semitic and i am?
All they did is what i also did. They monitored some things and wrote about them. I also watched the news, shows and also the behavior and beliefs of Murdoch and his media and wrote my perception!
Why am i "bad" and they or even you, who reproduced their essay, are "good"?
Finally please tell me!
How many Jews do you know THAT SUPPORT THE IDEA OF RACES AND NATIONALISM?
Do the names Montagu, Boaz, Lewontin, Marx, Freedman, Trotsky (aka Leonstain), Ricardo, Leo Strauss (the founder of neo-conservatists), William Strauss, Oscar Solomon Strauss the Jewish Secretary of Commerce and Labor under President Theodore Roosevelt from 1906 to 1909, Derrida, Herbert Marcuse (the Leftist anti-White Nationalist creator of the "Frankfurt School" ), Benaroya (the creator of the communist party of Greece), Spinoza, Gerald Cohen, Raymond Aaron, Bergson, Berezofsky, Abramovic, Gouzinsky, Zenovief, Rikof, Kamenef, Volodarsky, Wittgenstein and many others say anything to you?
If not let me help you!
All of them are Jews that are either leftists, communists, or capitalist, liberal and generally ANTI-NATIONALIST AND ANTI-RACIALIST INDIVIDUALS.
Just five!!!
Is n't the Jewish people that on the contrary with other nations do not label as "barbarians" or "outlanders" the ones that don't share their blood but GENTILES, meaning the ones that live according to their genus, that live with their biological relatives, and don't consider as their own people the ones who have the same religion as them, EVEN if they don't have the same blood, as Jews do?
Don't you see a very, very long background in the Jewish tradition in opposing the idea of biological related national communities?
Were not the Semites (the Akkadians of Sargon) the first imperialists?
The first people which in order to gain economic profit, absorbed foreign nations in their state, ignoring the fact that this will eventually DESTROY their own nation by admixture?
The proto-Indoeuropeans for example had the idea of the "Lebensraum", the conquering of new lands FOR THEIR PEOPLE ONLY, in order for their kin to live better and not ONLY the ruling class, by jeopardizing the entire nation's biological survival!
Isn't the Jews the most mixed ethnic community of the World, where you can find haplogroups that vary from typical sub-Saharan ones to Amerindian?
Anyway as i said some might say that the documentary was just the result of bad information!
But please show me how many documentaries and shows have been promoting Nationalist and Racialist ideas by...bad information and how many the opposite in Jewish owned American media?
P.S. Crimson guard, i am not a Nordicist. Since you're quite old in this site you should have known better!
I have written many comments condemning scientific caricatures like the Nordicism of Gunther, or the Mediterraneanism of Sergi which led to Afrocentricism!
You see the only thing i did is to say the facts and that's what i always do, even if a Mediterranean origin person like me would n't have an interest in doing (like the Kurgan theory that i support) so.
In the Tarim Mummies issue i only wrote what were the facts. That these Mummies were Caucasoid, robust and often blue eyed blonds!
Just because i might be a Mediterranean for example that doesn't mean that i would hesitate to admit the facts!
I only search the just and truth.
If that was such a surprise for you that made you call me a Nordicist, then perhaps it is in these two things, just and truth, that we tremendously differ!!! - Sunday, June 15, 2008 1:07:00 am

In a subsequent paper co-written with Brian Hemphill, Mallory casts doubt into the theory of steppe origins for the earliest inhabitants of Tarim:
"Results obtained by this analysis provide little support for either the steppe hypothesis or the Bactrian oasis hypothesis. Rather, the pattern of phenetic affinities manifested by Bronze Age inhabitants of the Tarim Basin suggests the presence of a population of unknown origin within the Tarim Basin during the early Bronze Age"
By the way Victor Mair is featured prominently in the National Geographic documentary and he doesn't seem to deny that the "Tarim mummies" were "trading genes". - Sunday, June 15, 2008 5:00:00 am

The Eastern Mediterranean element was not that of the earliest inhabitants, so it is irrelevant to this discussion.
The early element was described as Proto-Europoid, but does not seem to be affiliated to the steppe populations according to Hemphill and Mallory's analysis. - Sunday, June 15, 2008 4:20:00 pm

Also, the fact that a population has been described as Europoid does not mean that it did not have Mongoloid admixture. For example, a recent study detected Mongoloid admixture in prehistoric Andronovo people.

Since you are NEW to the site (and you already behave like you own it) let me inform you THAT I COMMENTATE HERE FOR THREE YEARS CONTINUOUSLY!!!
If you go back to past articles you will witness that. BUT SINCE YOU ARE A PREDISPOSING PERSON AND YOU JUDGE OTHERS BY YOUR OWN TACTICS AND THINKING, YOU THOUGHT THAT I WAS HIDING AND THAT I NOW....HAVE THROWN MY....MASK!!!
Well listen pal, i have dedicated my life to my Race and Nation. I AM PROUD THAT I AM NOT A DEGENERATED CAPITALIST AMERICANIZED ROBOT THAT REPRODUCES LIKE A TAPE EVERYTHING THAT HIS SOCIETY TAUGHT HIM TO ACCEPT AND BELIEVE.
Now if you are so shallow-minded that you think that in order to be scientific and orthological you have to be a democrat and a multiracialist Globalization fan THEN YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!
Democracy is just a political system like any other. It is not the political paradise as they taught you to believe!!!
Your political fundamentalism is annoying to me.
Many people here, AND I MEAN MANY, love their roots!
And not only Whites but Blacks, Asians, etc. love their Nations and their Race and wish the survival of those things.
You are so prejudiced that you even misinterpret my words. The things i said about the News in America ARE CORRECT. There is a clear discrimination in favor of non-Whites!
And not only in media unfortunately.
Since you hiding behind the anonymity of your computer you have the ability to accuse me of defending murderous criminal acts since i don't have the ability to press charges against you for being sycophantic and insulting my personality!
If you are not a coward then it is obvious that you have an understanding disability!
What i said is that there is a tenancy to outbid crimes done by Whites to non-Whites and understating crimes done by non Whites to Whites!
Next time be more careful when you address me and what words do you use because it is easy and cheap to insult others by hiding behind the anonymity of your monitor.
I doubt though if you would have the nerves to insult me in front of my face.

Dienekes the point is that they represented Europoid mummies like Mongoloid half breeds.
It doesn't affect this case if these Proto-Europoids were from Afanasievo or Andronovo, etc.
If they had only skeletons for instance i would have at least give a thought that they might have been mistaken somehow on the reconstruction of the skeletons' appearance.
But having the flesh, hair, mustaches, etc. and even the colors of the dead and try to alter the facts that is unacceptable and disrespectful!!!
It is clearly a biased and pro-mutliracialist documentary that gave a totally wrong appearance of the Loulan Beauty, the Ur-Adam, etc. - Sunday, June 15, 2008 4:59:00 pm

Interestingly, I purchased a book a few years ago called the Mummies of Urumchi, by Elizabeth Wayland Barber, who is a textile expert, and she traced the tartan style cloth worn by the mummies to the North Caucasus region.
As a side not, she theorized that a single group, dressed in such Tartan, from the North Caucasus region started a range expansion, with some going West - to become Celts - and some going East - to become Tocharians.
Of course when I read that recent book, The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World, I still think a case can be made that Indo-European languages were first spoken by the Kura-Araxes Culture, which seem to have introduced metal working, ox wagons and chariots to the North Caucasus/ Pontic Steppe area. - Sunday, June 15, 2008 6:09:00 pm

"What is disrespectful is to reject facts (e.g., their reported East Asian mtDNA affiliation) because they don't conform to your ideal of the Tarim mummies as racially pure".

Antigonos asked (yelling again): WHERE DO YOU SEE ME DEFENDING FASCIST CRIMINAL ACTS?
I understood this sentence was justifying of genocide under the term "nationalism":
Does he have programs and ESPECIALLY talk shows which support the common global market idea and pictures Nationalism as something bad (like in the Serbian War), yes or no?
Maybe I read too much in it? I read that you think that Chetnik Milosevician fascism and all the genocide it caused directly is not "bad". Is it "good" maybe?
That is what I meant by you making an apology of murderous fascism.
And yes, I am arrogant, but I don't think I own this place. It's Dienekes' and therefore I will try to avoid extending this argument anymore than strictly necesary. After all I am very much aware that boneheads are a race apart, with serious mental problems, with whom it's pointless to argue.
And no, I am not capitalist globalizationist but I could not care less about "racial admixture" or whatever. Endogamy is bad for the "race" - whatever "race", including the human race. I am humanist, I guess.
And you can sue me if you wish. If I have comitted a serious crime, surely Interpol will be able to find me easily. If it's a suspected misdeamanor though... you can pick your nose, sincerely. - Sunday, June 15, 2008 7:07:00 pm

I have replied to you elsewhere to the same claim. In brief: Kura-Araxes is contemporary of other kurgan cultures elsewhere (in Eastern, Central and SE Europe). It may be proto-Hittite (hunch) and even may be related with Tocharians or even Celts in some obscure way but certainly cannot be considered the ultimate origin of Indo-European languages and cultures, which is with all likehood at Samara valley. - Sunday, June 15, 2008 7:17:00 pm

Milosevic was a Fascist???
Really now?
Because i haven't seen any Fascist Youth Organizations, neither any Corporatist economic system, nor any eugenic and biological cast based society in former Yugoslavia!!!
Milosevic was just another capitalist ethnocentric christian politician!
Where do you see a Fascist regime?
Except of course if you reproduce what the American media feed you, like for example that Fascism is not a political system but just a term for describing every brutal, warlike regime!
Murdoch's media tried to accuse Nationalism as the reason for the Serbian War WHEN IT WAS CLEARLY A GEOPOLITICAL BASED WAR FOR THE CONTROL OF THE HYDROCARBONS OF CASPIA AND AZERBAIJAN!!!
If USA is so sensitive about "dictators" and "fascist" regimes HOW DOES IT SUPPORT THE KEMALIST TURKEY REGIME?
Additionally it is a stupid propaganda to try and accuse Nationalism as something bad!
As it is the scourge of the planet for example!!!
Was Soviet Union Fascist or even Nationalist when it killed millions in Czechoslovakia, Poland, Karelia, Ukraine, etc.?
When Stalin killed any people who opposed him by sending them to labor (aka death) camps in Siberia (the so called "ocean of Gulags") was he a Nationalist?
Was Pol Pot of the Red Khmer a Nationalist?
Was Castro of Cuba?
Was Mao of China?
Were the Americans who killed millions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki with a hideous way Fascists?
Were the Americans who eliminated the Amerindians by millions Fascists?
Where the Allies who bombarded Dresden, Berlin, Piraeus and other non military WW II targets and killed millions Fascists?
Were the Crusaders Fascists?
Are Nationalists or Fascists the muslim Jihad individuals?
You see pal every political system has dome murders, genocides, etc.
Why do the media in USA try and characterize as Fascist or Nationalist EVERY war or conflict done?
What do they afraid in Fascism so much that try to create an icon of it like it was the ONLY problem of this planet EVER?
Find the answer for yourself!
You see it's a God given right for someone to be a nerd and a geek, a TV victim who drinks starbucks coffee all the time and lives on eating McDonald hamburgers!
It is also his/her God given right to ignore basic natural and biological precepts and be a degenerated Globalization's puppet which listens only to "his master's voice" in order to be cool and socially accepted.

For yelling, check the term "Netiquette" in Wikipedia (or wherever). You may learn something.
For Milosevic's regime, I know quite first hand. I am European (so please stop your ranting about US media) and I was in Serbia (and other parts of former Yugoslavia) during the war (for a short period) and I could see how it was like and been told by Serbians, Bosnians and Kosovars themselves. Otherwise my info doesn't come from US sources, at least not primarily. My primary sources are (were) largely Serbians, including Serbobosnian refugees and deserters.
What happened had been planned in anticipation in case Yugoslavia broke apart, as eventually happened. The regime of Mislosevic (that may have inspired others like Berlusconi, Bush or Putin certainly) was based in total disinformation and a mad (but for many years profitable for the few privileged ones) economy of hyperinflation that helped to sell Serbian produce like oil or weapons at very low prices in the international black market. The informal fascist squads' presence was felt everywhere: I've seen a Hungarian barman from Vojvodina being forced to put a Milosevic poster in his tavern on his birthday celebration just minutes after he had torn it apart. I've seen more than enough images of Kosovar corpses. I have been told in first person chilling experiences from the Bosnia war. I have helped a Bosnian deserter to find refuge in EU (immigrate ilegally). I have watched on Serbian TV... nothing of interest: the war did not even exist in the Serbian box.
It was fascism of the worst class comitting crimes against the people that had not been heard of in Europe since WWII.

And i repeat myself:
Fascism is a political system, an Idea, a Way of Life.
It is not a word for brutality, genocide, etc.!!!
There are no "bad" and "good" political systems!
Only "bad" and "good" people!
And there is also no a priori bad or good in Nature!
In order to feed yourself, which you consider something good i assume, a plant or an animal must die!
What is good for the Turkish nation it might be bad for the Armenian nation and vice versa!
Even if, for argument's sake, we give the word "bad" in politics the meaning of killings, genocides, etc. THAT CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO ALL POLITICAL SYSTEMS!!!
And bare in mind that History IS ALWAYS written by the ones who win the war and NOT by the ones who loose it!!!
It is too early yet to say what happened in WW II.
And it is AT LEAST naive to present us here the political correct Hollywood's perception of the war between the Allies and the Axis as a battle between Good and Evil!!!
Like the war of Satan and God for example!
WW II was not a conflict of saints and angels from the one side and sinners and demons from the other!
No war in History was such a thing!
Wars are done based on interests, Ideas and ABOVE ALL ON MORAL AND ETHOS differences.
There are a lot of things that we still don't know and the behavior of democracy to NOT ALLOW HISTORIANS WHO HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION ABOUT THE WAR EVEN TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES BUT INSTEAD IT IS SENDING THEM TO JAIL IT REALLY SAYS A LOT!!!
"For yelling, check the term Netiquette in Wikipedia (or wherever). You may learn something".
It is silly to try and interpret the way you like it why i write in block letters SINCE I HAVE EXPLAINED THE REASON TO YOU THREE CONSECUTIVE TIMES!!!
It would have been OK for you to assume all those stuff that Wikipedia says about writing in block letters, etc. IF I HADN'T ALREADY EXPLAINED TO YOU WHY I P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-L-Y DO SO!!!
But you know what Euripides used to say:
"You can't convince a person who doesn't want to be convinced".
Your political correct perception about politics and the comments you made above labeling as "Fascist" the Milosevic regime, made me realize one thing today!!!
That you're no different than Islamic fundamentalists who because they have been taught that if they die for Allah they will go to Paradise and have sex with virgins etc. they believe it so!!!
The same happens with you, the political democratic Globalization fundamentalists, that think that the world before the Industrial Revolution and thus before Capitalist and Communist democracies was a Chaos, a living Hell, and that democracy came to create the "Heaven on Earth" situation!
You have accepted A PRIORI the racial, political, philosophical, and worse of all MORAL AND ETHICAL doctrines of democracy and you think any other political system (Feudalism, Fascism, etc.) as something malevolent and demonic!!!
Hence the only difference between you and the Muslim fanatics is that AT LEAST if you talk to the latter and you sincerely ask them "tell me friends why do you believe in Allah, Mohamed, etc.?"
"Can you prove that they are the real God, the real religion?" they will answer "No, we don't have proof but that's the way we were raised, that's our fathers' faith"!!!

I also think that Islamic Fundamentalists are fascists as well. And I am certainly against globalization, at least this kind of globalization. But not because of race issues but beacuse it's socio-economical and ecological madness.
And I also thin we were probably a lot better in the past, though certainly not in the medieval or metal ages past - more like in the Paleolithic maybe. I've always sustained that the great error of humankind was to abandon the tropics (and force nature to adapt to us, instead of remaining in intimate communion with it). Guess it's just to late to fix that, so we will have to reinvent all if we want to be happy.

Finally by saying: "I also think that Islamic Fundamentalists are fascists as well" you proved me for a third time HOW IRRELEVANT YOU ARE WITH POLITICS!!!
You're just a little robot that TV, school and society pressed the particular buttons in the control panel and the robot behaves and acts EXACTLY as its manipulators wish it to!
The words TRUTH, REALITY and CLARITY simply do not exist in your vocabulary!!!
Your pathetic, pacifist, multiracial ideas are those of a typical hippie who ignores the Laws of Nature and especially the importance of Biodiversity in lifekind.
That's why since you like the Paleolithic age so much why don't you leave Europe and go in an isolate island or a steppe or at least a very high mountain peak and live there for the rest of your life?
And something final!
You are not a Humanist!
You are just another Rabble man!!!
Your hippie ideas that promote anarchy and disorder, BOTH SOCIALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY, can't be attributed to Humans, with the complete sense of the word!
It is another thing to be just anatomically modern human than to be a behaviorally modern human as well!!!
Humans can differentiate the pleasant from the beneficial!
They learn to accept pain, war, death, fatigue when it is necessary as they accept love, peace, joy, life AGAIN when it is necessary!
Humans can distinguish that there is no such thing as a priori good or a priori bad. They act in an appropriate manner even if that is not pleasant to them!
Only buffoons, cowards, "basketcase individuals" and weirdos do whatever their emotions tell them to do, EXACTLY LIKE WHAT THE BEASTS ARE DOING!
People like the above are keeping our Race and our Culture from developing and prospering!
People who would like to be "cool", "trendy", etc. but for many reasons (see ugliness, complexes, etc.) fail to do so and thus they try to present themselves as good and wise by REPEATING AND PROMOTING THE IDEAS THAT ARE CONSIDERED "IN" BY THEIR SOCIETY IN ORDER TO BE ACCEPTED IN THAT SOCIETY!!!
In concluding i am proud to be a Racialist and a Nationalist!!!
I love my ancestors, my kin, my family and my kind and i don't want to see their line been altered or lost!
I respect Nature and i don't consider as progress the "rabble society's" accomplishments like the gay parades, the free drug use, the mixing of races and the end of nations and species in general!
AND I, ON THE CONTRARY WITH YOU, DON'T STAY IN MY PC BY PLAYING SMART FROM A SAFE DISTANCE BUT I MAKE MY IDEAS ACTS IN THE STREETS!!! - Wednesday, June 18, 2008 3:26:00 am

Antigonos. Quote: "I love my ancestors ... and i don't want to see their line been altered or lost" and "i don't consider as progress the ... the mixing of races".
Now it's a pretty good bet that your ancestors were themselves a product of a whole series of ancient "mixing of races" going right back to at least as far as the Upper Paleolithic. - Wednesday, June 18, 2008 8:51:00 am

Princeton University will honor four outstanding New Jersey secondary school teachers at its 2009 Commencement on Tuesday, June 2.
This year's honorees are James Danch, Colonia High School, Colonia; Katherine O'Neil, East Brook Middle School, Paramus; Martin Shields, Pascack Hills High School, Montvale; and Rebecca Strum, Bergen County Academies, Hackensack.
The teachers were selected for the award from 81 nominations from public and private schools around the state. Each teacher will receive $5,000 as well as $3,000 for his or her school library.
"This year's awardees offer us a splendid portrait of excellence in teaching. The most important ingredient for student success is a good teacher, and these four teachers epitomize the very best of the profession," said John Webb, director of Princeton's Program in Teacher Preparation, which administers the awards. "They are deeply passionate about what they do each day, in some cases even after decades in the classroom. They sincerely care about young people, and their students return that affection with their trust and admiration, the greatest of all tributes."
The staff of the Program in Teacher Preparation selected 10 finalists, each of whom was visited at work by an observer. Finalists were selected by a committee chaired by Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel and including Webb, two Princeton professors and two external education professionals.
Princeton has honored secondary school teachers since 1959. The University received an anonymous gift from an alumnus to establish the program.
James Danch
Whether he's snorkeling for salamanders or jetting across the country for speaking engagements, James Danch is inspiring students and teachers to take a more imaginative approach to science learning and education.
Danch, who began at Colonia High School in 1985, teaches physics, science research and science investigation methods. His class schedule includes courses for both advanced students as well as those with special needs, demonstrating his talent in explaining both complex and fundamental principles. These lessons often take Danch and his students into the field, to the Pine Barrens and beyond.
For instance, in a science methods course for special-needs students, Danch was teaching a lesson about how shape influences the speed at which something falls. His approach: have students time different-shaped objects as they were dropped one at a time from the local fire department's 90-foot-high hook-and-ladder truck basket.
"Mr. Danch actively engages students in the process of learning through his well-constructed lessons, stimulating class presentations and process-oriented, hands-on learning investigations," said Dorothy Ponte, head of the science department at Colonia. "He imparts critical science knowledge and skills to students of all learning abilities (as supported by standardized test data and competitive science awards)."
One of his most popular and effective innovations has been the science research course, in which students identify a real-world problem, develop a hypothesis and perform experiments to test their theories. Former student Kimberly Boyko said Danch and his course inspired her to become a science teacher.
"In the classroom, Mr. Danch was kind and approachable, very well educated in his subject matter yet able to bring the material down to the students' level, [and] had a great sense of humor that he incorporated into his lectures and assignments," she said. "Mr. Danch never succumbed to the rote-memorization way of instructing, and somehow managed to entertain us while he taught."
Danch said that an early experience working with special education students led him to focus his teaching on the joy of scientific discovery.
"I have learned that true scientific study is not about facts and figures recited by honor students, but rather the opportunity for all students to discover something as of yet unknown not just to them, but to the world," he said.
Some of Danch's other activities cited in his nomination include developing curricula on both the local and national level, leading science education training for other teachers and performing with the school band, orchestra, chorus or any other group when needed.
Danch received a B.S. in environmental science from Rutgers in 1984 and an M.S. in biology from Georgian Court University in 2000.
Katherine O'Neil
Katherine O'Neil's career path has been a winding road from actress to teacher, and she now combines her talents as an eighth-grade reading and language arts instructor and director of the annual school musical.
After many years pursuing her passion in performing arts, O'Neil began working as a substitute teacher in 1999 and became a language arts teacher in 2001. Since 2003, she has been in her current position at East Brook Middle School. She works hard to earn the trust of her students while challenging them to grow as critical thinkers, skillful writers and lifelong readers, according to those who nominated her for the award.
For example, she begins each class with a discussion of how the students' day has unfolded, creating an open and supportive atmosphere in her classes, said student Lucas Riccardi.
"I love how personal her class is; Ms. O'Neil makes sure that all of her kids get the attention they need to succeed," he said. "Ms. O'Neil's class has a reputation for being difficult, but all admit that they walk out of her classroom every day with new ways of questioning and thinking outside the box."
For the musical, O'Neil spends four days a week after school working with more than 100 students on the set, props, acting, singing and dancing, putting on a first-rate show, said her former principal, Willis Bott. Her ability to connect to students led him to frequently observe her classes for pleasure.
"Her enthusiasm for learning, for seeing her students grow, and for making the difficult task of writing so much easier for all of her students was evident in every visit," Bott said. "She understands early adolescent learners, communicates effectively with them, and students respect and admire their talented teacher."
In addition to leading training sessions and serving on curriculum committees, O'Neil has implemented several programs that encourage reading. She has started a literary journal of student works and a reading initiative, the Author Study Program, that has mobilized the local community. Students are required to select an author and read four of his or her books. They must discuss those books with an adult partner before completing a written assignment on what they have learned. One fellow teacher said that she often encounters students reading before class, in class, at lunch and even while walking in the hallways.
"We have become a jubilant, multi-generational community of readers," O'Neil said. "If there is one area in my years of teaching of which I am most proud, it is this blending of generations engaged in the act of reading literature."
O'Neil double majored in theater and elementary education at Northwestern University, graduating in 1977.
Martin Shields
By directing his passion for biology to his teaching and his everyday life, Martin Shields is a role model to students and his fellow teachers.
Shields has been a high school teacher since 1993 and has taught biology at Pascack Hills High School since 2002. Additionally, he is an adviser for the school's environmental club, a mentor to new and student teachers and a leader in curriculum development, locally and nationally. Shields has published multiple books on science teaching, and he has garnered numerous awards for his efforts.
In addition to being self-motivated to learn new teaching techniques and embracing the use of new technologies in the classroom, he also inspires students to learn with hands-on experiences -- test scores in the Advanced Placement Biology class have risen sharply since he took over the course, said principal Sarah Van Gunten.
"Whether Mr. Shields is working with highly motivated students or those who struggle to learn, he is able to tap each student's potential, strengths and interests, and lead students to success in his classroom -- and a sense of personal accomplishment in their particular abilities," she said.
Students relate to Shields' authentic interest in biology and the environment. He drives a hybrid car to school, has solar panels on his home and organizes recycling efforts at Pascack Hills. An ornithologist, Shields also takes students on nearby birding expeditions.
Jeffrey Vinokur, a former student now majoring in biochemistry in college, said that his interest in biology developed as a result of lab experiments, course discussions on bioethics and extracurricular chats about genetics with Shields.
"Instead of just memorizing biological nomenclature, as I had anticipated, we discussed biology in order to achieve an understanding and appreciation for it," Vinokur said. "Because learning continued outside the classroom and beyond the test, Mr. Shields truly challenges and inspires his students to go above and beyond."
Shields said that he learned early that if he respected and cared for his students, they would respect his desire to focus on learning.
"Whatever the ability level of the class, I strive for an environment of high-energy learning that is heavily seasoned with humor, excitement and relevance to the students' lives," he said.
Shields received his B.A. in biology from Hobart College in 1985 and an M.S. for teachers of biological sciences from the University of Montana in 1991.
Rebecca Strum
Starting from scratch, Rebecca Strum has created an extraordinary performing arts program at Bergen County Academies and endeared herself to colleagues and students in the process.
Strum has been teaching since 1973, and began as an English teacher at Bergen County Academies in 1998. In 2002, she became the performing arts coordinator, writing the curriculum for the new theater arts program and building it into a powerhouse in a school focused heavily on math, science and technology. She teaches more than a half dozen courses each year.
"What sets Dr. Strum apart is her tireless advocacy for the arts in all its forms," said Raymond Bath, the school's dean of academics. "Her unwillingness to accept the status quo where perception of the arts in education is concerned is a testament to her passion for the role that the arts play in a well-rounded quality education."
To that end, Strum educates her students in the history, theory and business practices related to theater, along with the performance aspect. For instance, she often assigns students to serve as "company managers" in her classes, and they must perform duties similar to stage managers by tracking assignments, expectations and progress toward both. She also has taught them to give back, organizing a program in which her students learn and perform with peers from the Bleshman School, which serves students who are severely disabled.
"I believe that the best teachers not only incite a passion in their students, but provide them with lessons the depth and breadth of which remain with them and are useful to them for the rest of their lives," said Adam Lurie, who was in Strum's first class in the theater academy. "Dr. Rebecca Strum is that kind of teacher. … She showed us how to succeed at something, and then demanded that we did."
Strum also has availed herself of professional training and fellowships, and she has engaged students' parents in supporting theatrical productions at the school, from Shakespeare to "The Laramie Project," based on the murder of Matthew Shepard.
Multiple students and teachers said that Strum is so successful because she supports one of the most essential yet difficult facets of creative endeavors -- risk-taking.
"One of my most important tasks is to create a safe, supportive environment where each student can be open to the energy of new ideas about themselves, each other and the world," Strum said.
Strum has a B.A. in English from Dickinson College, an MFA from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in performance studies from New York University.

It seems like the Weather Gods decided to play a little joke on me and tease me further. Soon after I wrote my post singing the song of Spring, it began to snow again! As you can imagine I was shattered to see the white flakes coming down again. Some of my cherished friends jump for joy at the sight of snow, but please, not in the middle of March. I felt taunted!
However, I am a fighter and bounce back. The Weather Gods can play tricks all they want but I know they are going to loose this battle. As it rains, then snows, is windy and cold, I smile and walk into my favorite flower shop. Armed with colorful bunches and bouquets of tulips, ranunculus and hyacinths I walk out, defying the snow covering the streets and pavements.
Even Soeren's spirit seems to be at a low. "Wish Mother Hulda would take a break and go on vacation!" he says looking out of the window. I know he wants to get out - play soccer, ride his bike, and roller blades. As much as we enjoy fresh snow and the fun one can have with it, both of us are children of the summer and cannot wait till the weather turns from the dreary cold to the glorious warmth.
We have been celebrating a lot around here. No major events - it just seems when Tom gets home for the weekend it's reason enough to celebrate. Inviting friends and relaxing at home is what we're enjoying the most. I get to try out a few great new recipes and tweak my old ones. The only major event of course was the big 4, as What's For Lunch, Honey? crossed the incredible milestone.
To help celebrate this event I invited you all to a big bubbly birthday party with a lot of champagne, prosecco and sparkling wine. Looking at your lovely creations I can hardly wait to share all the goodies with you.
When entertaining, dessert is the course that I really enjoy making and creating the most. It's the icing on the cake!
Recently we had a raclette party and invited a few friends to enjoy a lovely evening with us. Raclette is in winter what BBQ is in the summer! I think there is nothing more awesome then sitting for hours with friends over an assortment of cheese, meat and pickles as each one puts together their own creation. One always overeats and over-drinks at raclette parties - at least at ours! When it comes to dessert I like making something that is easy to prepare for a crowd, not too heavy, fruity and full of flavor.
Like these delightful poached pears. Usually I would poach them in wine to offer a bolder and robust flavor, but this time I chose prosecco.
For some prosecco would be second-rate champagne, but a really good prosecco will burst with flavors of spring flowers, herbs and fruit. It has no pretensions as it claims a totally different niche to champagne. Prosecco is made differently than champagne, using a variety of white grape with the same name. For this dessert prosecco was the perfect choice. I used one that was floral and fruity and slightly on the dryer side, boosting the flavors of the pears, citrus fruits and spices brilliantly.
When there is a crowd to prepare dessert for, it does not get easier than this. The pears can be poached a day or two in advance as they will benefit from the extra soak in the infused syrup and offer a more intense aroma. The blood orange mascarpone cream can also be made a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator. Just take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you serve to allow the flavors to come to room temperature.
Prosecco Pears with Blood Orange Mascarpone Cream
Printable version of recipe here
For poached pears
4-6 small pears, peeled whole and stems left intact.
200g sugar
1 bottle prosecco
450 ml water
1 stick cinnamon
4-6 cloves
2 star anise
zest of one lemon
zest of 1 orangeFor blood orange mascarpone cream
200g mascarpone cheese
1 vanilla bean, innards scraped out (save pod to make vanilla sugar)
100g sugar
zest and juice of 1 blood orange
For poached pears
- Once the pears are peeled, squeeze a little lemon juice over them to stop them from browning.
- In a large saucepan place sugar, prosecco, water, whole spices, lemon and orange zest and heat over medium heat. Stir until sugar has completely dissolved then increase heat and bring to the boil.
- Once the poaching liquid has come to the boil, reduce the heat again and add the pears. Cover the pears with a lid and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until the pears are tender.
- Steep the pears preferably overnight in the poaching liquid.
For blood orange mascarpone cream
- In a mixing bowl whisk masacarpone cheese, vanilla and sugar until sugar has dissolved.
- Add the zest and drizzle enough juice from the blood orange so that is flavors the mascarpone nicely but making sure it does not become to runny.
- Refrigerate until needed. Serve with poached pears (recipe above) or see serving variations below.
Serving Variations:
- Instead of the mascarpone cream, serve the pears with a scoop of bourbon vanilla ice-cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce a nice take on Poires Belle Hélène.
- Add a handful of chopped roasted pistachios for an added crunch.
- Keep the syrup in a sealed bottle to be used in a variety of different ways. Here's one of my favorites: pour a glug of the syrup in a cocktail glass, add a raspberry or two and top with fresh, bubbly and chilled prosecco. The perfect aperitif to your party!
A harmony of intermingling flavors - silky pears, with a tang of orange and lemon, caressed by a spiced syrup and a touch of bubbly prosecco rounds it all off to provide the perfect dish. A dollop of the blood orange mascarpone cream adds a touch of creamy exquisiteness taking it up another level. The prosecco gives the pears a lovely lighter note and I really preferred using it as a basis to poach them in comparison to wine.

Chad Billingsley (4-6, 3.68) vs. Mike Pelfrey (2-6, 5.33).
COMMENTS: Billingsley looks to keep the Dodgers' winning streak alive (okay, it's only a one-game streak, but when you've lost six of the last eight, you'll take it), and the Dodgers try and see if their nine-run outburst last night carries any momentum into this afternoon's game. Given Joe Torre's penchant for mixing up the lineup, momentum will likely be lost. But at least we're going up against the Mets' version of Mark Hendrickson (a tall (6'7") pitcher with a losing record (6.08 ERA in May)). Maybe the Dodgers can keep their bats in with Pelfrey? (Wow, that was a stretch of a pun. Sorry.)
