Whites believe that they have replaced blacks as the primary victims of racial discrimination in contemporary America, according to a new study by researchers at Tufts University's School of Arts and Sciences and Harvard Business School.
The authors of "Whites See Racism as a Zero-Sum Game That They Are Now Losing" found that both whites and blacks agree that anti-black racism has decreased over the last 60 years. That sounds pretty reasonable. But the kicker is that whites surveyed believe that anti-white racism has increased and is now a bigger problem than anti-black racism:
Norton of Harvard asked a nation-wide sample of 208 blacks and 209 whites to indicate the extent to which they felt blacks and whites were the targets of discrimination in each decade from the 1950s to the 2000s. A scale of 1 to 10 was used, with 1 being "not at all" and 10 being "very much."
White and black estimates of bias in the 1950s were similar. Both groups acknowledged little racism against whites at that time but substantial racism against blacks. Respondents also generally agreed that racism against blacks has decreased over time, although whites believed it has declined faster than blacks do.
However, whites believed that racism against whites has increased significantly as racism against blacks has decreased. On average, whites rated anti-white bias as more prevalent in the 2000s than anti-black bias by more than a full point on the 10-point scale. Moreover, some 11 percent of whites gave anti-white bias the maximum rating of 10 compared to only 2 percent of whites who rated anti-black bias a 10. Blacks, however, reported only a modest increase in their perceptions of "reverse racism."
"These data are the first to demonstrate that not only do whites think more progress has been made toward equality than do blacks, but whites also now believe that this progress is linked to a new inequality — at their expense," note Norton and Sommers. Whites see racial equality as a zero sum game, in which gains for one group mean losses for the other.
The belief that anti-white bias is more prevalent than anti-black bias has clear implications for future public policy debates and behavioral science research, say the authors.
A co-author of the study called the results "surprising." That's putting in mildly. But maybe we've missed the way white Americans have been systemically deprived of access and opportunities. Maybe we've overlooked all the times whites have been targeted by implicit and explicit race-baiting attacks, whether they're playing professional sports or seeking elected office. Maybe we didn't get the memo on the way the legacy of discrimination against white Americans continues to manifest itself in worse outcomes in income, home ownership, health and employment for them, the way white people are told they're "objectively" ugly, and the disgust so many Americans felt the last time a white person ran for president.
Oh, wait, none of that has happened? So we're talking about white people being victimized by things llike affirmative action, the Smithsonian's new black museum and scholarships for minorities? In that case, perhaps the study should be renamed, "Whites Have Forgotten What Racial Discrimination Actually Is." Until then, we'll just put these bewildering results in the old "Blame it on the small sample size" file.
The study appears in the May 2011 issue of the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.

Austin Rivers Carrying Duke Higher – This Week in College Basketball
Ninth-ranked Murray State's 72-68 loss to Tennessee State on Thursday left the NCAA Division I men's field with no undefeated teams. Meanwhile, four other top 10 teams — No. 3 Ohio State, No. 5 North Carolina, No. 6 Baylor and No. 8 Florida – also lost last week. Here's the latest from the world of college basketball:
Team on the Rise: Drexel Dragons
Drexel's 78-67 win over Hofstra on Saturday afternoon was the Dragons' 14th straight victory. Drexel (21-5, 13-2 Colonial) is now tied with VCU for first in the Colonial Athletic Association. Coach Bruiser Flint's team is closing in on locking up at least an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament and perhaps a ranking in the top 25. Guard Frantz Massenat and forward Samme Givens fuel the Dragons' attack, but Drexel wins with defense. The Dragons allow just 54.4 points per game.
Team on the Decline: No. 17 Creighton Bluejays
Creighton (21-5, 11-4 MVC) fell to Wichita State 89-68 on Saturday. The defeat was the Bluejays' third straight loss, all against unranked teams. Coach Greg McDermott has to be worried that his team hasn't recovered from a buzzer-beating loss at Northern Iowa on Feb. 4. Creighton forward Doug McDermott, the coach's son, is the star of the team, averaging 22.9 points per game, but he needs help on both ends of the floor. If he doesn't get it, the Bluejays may be headed for an early tournament exit.
Player on the Rise: Austin Rivers, Duke Blue Devils
With Wednesday night's buzzer-beating, 3-point shot which gave No. 10 Duke (21-4, 8-2 ACC) an 85-84 win over No. 5 North Carolina, Austin Rivers showed he's among the best first-year players in the country. Rivers has now scored in double-figures in each of his last eight games, shooting more than 40 percent from behind the arc in five of those contests. He's exactly the type of player that can carry a team to the Final Four.
Player on the Decline: Perry Jones III
After stumbling in losses to No. 7 Kansas and No. 4 Missouri last week, No. 6 Baylor (21-4, 8-4 Big 12) is starting to take on a reputation as a team that can't perform against high-ranked opponents. Forward Perry Jones bears much of that responsibility. Jones, the team's leading scorer, shot 1-for-8 for 5 points against the Jayhawks on Wednesday and was 2-for-12 for 4 points on Saturday against the Tigers. If he can't give the Bears more production, they won't go far in March.
Coach on the Hot Seat: Bruce Weber, Illinois Fighting Illini
Though the season started with potential Big Ten title aspirations, Illinois (16-9, 5-7 Big Ten) finds itself losers of six of seven games and potentially on the NCAA tournament bubble. Coach Bruce Weber can't be happy with the way his team has underperformed after beating Ohio State and Michigan State earlier in the year. Guards Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson must defend better and convert higher-percentage shots, otherwise someone other than Weber may lead the Illini next season.
Bizarre Stat of the Week: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Georgia Tech (9-15, 2-8 ACC) shot just 1-for-17 from 3-point range in a 61-52 loss to N.C. State on Thursday.

European Plain, one of the greatest uninterrupted expanses of plain on the Earth's surface. It sweeps from the Pyrenees Mountains on the French-Spanish border across northern Europe to the Ural Mountains in Russia. In western Europe the plain is comparatively narrow, rarely exceeding 200 miles (320 kilometres) in width, but as it stretches eastward it broadens steadily until it reaches its greatest width in western Russia, where it extends more than 2,000 miles.
Because it covers so much territory, the plain gives Europe the lowest average elevation of any continent. The flatness of this enormous lowland, however, is broken by hills, particularly in the west.
Physical features
The western and central European section of the plain covers all of western and northern France, Belgium, The Netherlands, southern Scandinavia, northern Germany, and nearly all of Poland; from northern France and Belgium eastward it commonly is called the North European Plain. In the east the plain generally is called the East European, or Russian, Plain.
Conditions in the North European Plain are complex in detail. The terrain is flat or gently undulating. Most of the area was glaciated several times during the Pleistocene Epoch (i.e., about 2,600,000 to 11,700 years ago), and the landscape is typically postglacial. Drainage is poorly developed, glacial deposits called moraine blanket much of the area, and large sections are underlain by glacial outwash plains. Hilly terminal moraines, marking the stationary edges of the Pleistocene ice sheets, are strewn in great arcs across northern Germany and Poland and into Belarus (Belorussia) and western Russia. Interspersed with these moraines are long parallel spillways where glacial meltwaters flowed to the sea parallel to the ice front. These spillways were covered with sand and gravel by the rushing glacial streams. Today they are occupied by flat, poorly drained wetlands that are relatively unproductive. Sandy duneland borders the North and Baltic seas, and extensive windblown loess deposits, resulting from the intense wind erosion of the barren interglacial and postglacial landscapes, stretch across the North European Plain from France to western Russia.
Other landforms in the North European Plain include the extensive delta plain of The Netherlands that is formed by the deposits of the Rhine River as it enters the North Sea. Like many other delta plains, this area has rich and fertile soils and a flat terrain that is favourable for agriculture where it is properly drained. The Rhine has historically provided excellent transportation, and the region is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.
Extending from eastern Poland to the Urals, the East European Plain encompasses all of the Baltic states and Belarus, nearly all of Ukraine, and much of the European portion of Russia and reaches north into Finland. Finland in the northwest is underlain by ancient, resistant, crystalline rocks, part of the Precambrian Baltic Shield. Because it was near the origin of the Pleistocene ice sheets that advanced southward over continental Europe, Finland's landscape is characterized more by glacial erosion than by glacial deposition. With its numerous lakes and swamps caused by the disarranged and immature drainage pattern, together with its thin soils and coniferous forests, the Finnish plain is similar in character and appearance to northern and eastern Canada, another heavily glaciated Precambrian Shield area. The continental glaciers that planed, eroded, and polished the rock surfaces in Finland deposited part of the material over the plains to the south.
The remainder of the East European Plain is deeply underlain by a relatively rigid platform of ancient rocks. At various times in its history, however, this area has slipped beneath the sea and been covered with sedimentary rocks. These rocks have been mildly bent and warped, but nowhere have they been sharply deformed. Consequently, the whole area from the Black Sea to the Arctic is one uninterrupted plain, everywhere below 1,500 feet (450 metres) in elevation.
The climate on the whole is characterized by marked seasonal changes, with cold winters and warm summers. The west has a maritime climate very favourable to agriculture. It has enough rain in all seasons to keep fields green. Summers are warm but not hot, and winters are cold but not freezing. As one moves eastward, the ameliorating maritime influence diminishes, and the character of the climate becomes more continental: rainfall is concentrated in the warmer months, summers are hotter, and winters become extremely cold. Spring and fall nearly disappear as separate seasons, and the greenness of the summer gives way abruptly each year to the gray drabness of a frozen winter. Agriculture in eastern Europe tends to be more difficult and less productive than in the west.
The Garonne and the Loire rivers, with their numerous tributaries, drain much of western France before they enter the Bay of Biscay, and the Seine crosses the broad synclinal lowland of the Paris Basin on its way to the English Channel. The Schelde (Scheldt) and its affluents (Lys, Scarpe, Dender, Demer) drain the Plain of Flanders and the low plateaus of central Belgium. The Meuse (Maas) pursues a varied course through the scarp lands of Lorraine, crosses the Ardennes in a valley cut transversely to the structure, turns at right angles along the coal furrow of southern Belgium, and then in a sweeping curve flows across the plain of the southern Netherlands to form a joint floodplain with the lower Rhine.
The Rhine is the main river of west central Europe, 865 miles in length, crossing the various structural and relief zones from its Alpine sources and entering its plain course in the North Sea lowlands. Farther east the several broadly parallel systems include the Weser, the Elbe, the Oder, and the Vistula, which rise in the uplands of central Europe and flow in a general northwesterly direction across the lowlands to the North or Baltic Sea. Each of these rivers reveals distinct right-angle bends, the result of the Pleistocene ice sheets, the margins and terminal moraines of which lay along an east–west line so that meltwaters escaping to the sea had to flow in a westerly direction, eroding broad intermorainal channels (Urstromtäler). When the ice sheets withdrew, the rivers occupied some sections of the east–west meltwater channels between their northerly courses. During the 19th and early 20th centuries several of these channels were used as routes to construct canals linking the north-flowing rivers. The Mittelland Canal of north central Germany is the most prominent of these.
Plant and animal life
Deciduous and coniferous forests diversify the landscape of the North European Plain, although present forests are no more than remnants of a thick mixed forest of oak, elm, ash, linden, and maple, which, since the Middle Ages, has given way to villages and fields in most places. The East European Plain, despite its great uniformity in terrain, exhibits strong regional contrasts in vegetation. Climatic differences produce great belts of characteristic plant life extending approximately east to west across the country. The southern part of the plain is an area of semiarid grasslands, which grade toward the north into more humid lands with taller grasses and rich, fertile soils. North of the grasslands lies a belt of hardwood forests; in the severely cold north lies a belt of coniferous forests and, bordering the Arctic Ocean, a belt of tundra.
The wild animals of the plain are those characteristic of the whole of Europe, but their numbers have been considerably reduced and their habitats modified by intense human settlement of most areas of the plain.
The people
A variety of languages is spoken on the plain. As in the rest of Europe, almost all belong to the Indo-European family. The primary exceptions are the Finno-Ugric languages Hungarian and Finnish. Three major branches of Indo-European speech are represented. The Germanic branch is represented by Dutch, Flemish (in part of Belgium), German (including the dialect of Austria), Danish, and Swedish. The major representative of the Romance branch is French, along with Romanian spoken by some inhabitants of the East European Plain. In most of the east, however, people speak languages of the Slavic branch, of which Polish, Russian, Belorussian (White Russian), and Ukrainian are the most widespread but which also include Czech, Slovak, Slovene, Serbo-Croatian, and Bulgarian.
The European Plain includes people as diverse in culture as the French, Russians, Hungarians, and Swedes. In spite of cultural differences, many of these peoples traditionally shared underlying similarities that derived in part from a common pattern of village life and agricultural routine. Although the eastern part of the plain has remained traditional in many ways, the western part has been transformed as urban centres and industrialization have expanded into the surrounding countryside. Modern transportation has made it easy for farmers to get to town regularly. In many places, members of farming families, released from working on the land by the efficiency of modern machinery, have jobs in town but continue to live on the farm. Conversely, urbanites find that they can live in villages and work in town. Where this has occurred, the centuries-old distinction between urban and rural cultures (or subcultures) has been obliterated; even where developments have not gone that far, to the extent that the farmer is no longer parochial, the old distinction has been broken down.Robert T. Anderson The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
The economy
The European Plain has long been a region of major agricultural importance, and, apart from the relatively small area occupied by its cities and towns today, the landscape—especially in the east—remains predominantly agricultural. Since the mid-19th century, however, the plain has also been one of the world's major heavy industrial regions. This has been especially true in the west, where the industrial concentration extending from Germany's Ruhr valley north along the Rhine River and west into The Netherlands, Belgium, and northern France has become Europe's most important centre of coal, steel, and chemical production. Similar industrial concentrations have grown up around smaller coalfields farther east, notably in Germany's Westphalia and Poland's Upper Silesia regions and in the Donets coalfield of Ukraine and Russia. The increasing importance of bulky imported raw materials to Europe's economy since the end of World War II has made large seaports such as Hamburg and Rotterdam major centres of industry and commerce as well.
Parts of the European Plain harboured hunter-gatherer groups through much of the late Pleistocene Epoch (i.e., roughly 125,000 to 11,700 years ago), but significant settlement on the plain did not begin until postglacial times. Immigrants from the south moved north after the glaciers retreated and settled in widely scattered areas along the seacoasts, rivers, and lakeshores of the then heavily wooded plain. Until about 3000 bc—when agriculture became widespread in northern Europe—hunting, fishing, and foraging with stone and bone tools was the characteristic mode of life on the plain.
The first agricultural settlements were made primarily on lightly wooded sites with porous, easily worked, and well-drained soils—i.e., those most suited to the fragile wooden tools of the time. Such areas were found on the loess belt of the northern plain, which became the principal region of prehistoric settlement north of the Alps. Settlement on the thickly forested clay soils of the lowlands did not become feasible until the 8th century ad, with the invention of the heavy-wheeled plow. One of the most significant technological inventions of the Middle Ages, the heavy-wheeled plow opened the European Plain to settlement as never before and was soon followed by other improvements in agrarian technology.
The traditional two-field system of crop rotation, in which half the agricultural land was left fallow each year to maintain soil fertility, gave way to the more sophisticated three-field system: in addition to the usual sowing of wheat, barley, or rye in the autumn, another part of the land was planted in oats or nitrogen-fixing legumes (peas and beans) in the spring, and only the remaining third of the land was left fallow. The cultivation of a surplus of oats from the spring planting, moreover, provided feed that made possible the substitution of the swifter-gaited horse for plowing in place of the oxen. The ever-larger agricultural surpluses resulting from these advances led to the establishment of towns—and eventually cities—on the European Plain.
The character of the European Plain, however, remained primarily rural and agricultural until the 19th century, when the Industrial Revolution spread from England onto the Continent. Major coalfields stretching along the North European Plain from the Franco-Belgian border to the Donets Basin in Ukraine and Russia became focal points for the development of heavy industry. The plain's excellent system of rivers and canals furnished a network for the transport of such bulk cargo as coal and iron ore, and, when faster bulk transport later became necessary, its flat terrain enabled the unhindered construction of an extensive rail system.The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Last month, the World Council of Churches (WCC) convened in Lebanon and issued the following statement:
"Palestine continues to be the central issue in the region … The persistence, after sixty five years, of continuing dispossession of Palestinian people—Christian and Muslim alike—from their land by Israeli occupation, continuing settlement of land inside the 1967 borders … is central to the turmoil in the region …. Jerusalem today is an occupied city with a government which has adopted discriminatory policies against Christians and Muslims alike …"
The WCC also took aim at Christians who dare to support Israel, the reviled "Christian Zionists":
"Christians who promote 'Christian Zionism' distort the interpretation of the Word of God and the historic connection of Palestinians—Christians and Muslims—to the Holy Land, enable the manipulation of public opinion by Zionist lobbies, and damage intra-Christian relations."
The WCC is not a marginal organization that can be dismissed off hand. It represents some 500 million Christians living in 110 countries and territories around the world. It include Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Reformed and Independent churches, all of which have signed on to a political-religious document that contains blatant lies that bring to mind historical anti-Jewish Christian biases.
For instance, the WCC asserts that Israel, continually, for 65 years, has been dispossessing Muslims and Christians of their land. The truth is that the last time Palestinians crossed the Jordan River eastward and never returned was during the Six Day War in 1967. Wars, as can be witnessed today in Syria and elsewhere, produce refugees. Israel's only fault in this regard is that it won the war. And even during that conflict, when the entire Arab population of Hebron fled, they were asked by Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan to return to their homes.
In contrast, due to intolerable conditions, there is massive Christian emigration from Palestinian-controlled Bethlehem and from Lebanon. Christians suffer discrimination not in Israel, but rather in Turkey, Egypt, Syria and any other Muslim country.
The WCC also wants people to believe that "Jerusalem today is an occupied city." The WCC is not specifying "east" or "west" Jerusalem, meaning that for these Christians Jerusalem as a whole should be under the control of anyone but Israel, or, more precisely, the Jews. The fact that only "east" Jerusalem is disputed as "occupied" territory is irrelevant to the pious-minded Christians who signed this document.
The WCC anti-Israel political stand stems from its theological position that asserts, only tacitly for fear of being labeled anti-Semites, that (Christian) "Zionism distort[s] the interpretation of the Word of God."
Zionism is a late 19th century national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel. The Bible is so steeped with such a vision that it is pointless to bother with quotations. The WCC must assert therefore, like the Crusaders before, that today, the chosen "people of Israel" are not the Jews, but rather all true Christians, which is why Jerusalem should not be under Jewish sovereignty. For them, even Muslim control of Jerusalem would be better.
Any honest and unbiased reader of the Bible knows otherwise, and should reject this anti-Jewish theology. Anybody, the WCC included, who singles Israel out as the sole villain that threatens world peace, who points fingers at Israel, the least troublesome element in the Middle East, is, by definition, anti-Semitic. Masquerading such sentiment as Christian love only adds insult to injury.

Mould Opener for Plastic Injection Moulds
Safe and quick opening of even biggest plastic injection moulds for maintenance purpose
For maintenance / service / checking / repair of plastic injection moulds Seidel Handlingsysteme GmbH offers to their customers a complete program of plastic injection mould openers, at all sizes and specially adopted to customers individual needs.
Our plastic injection mould openers, independent of their size, are installed above floor and do not need any pit. Also they are built extremely flat, so that the opened, and if the function is available in the single machine, also turned sidewards by 90°) halfs of the mould will be optimum accessable for the maintenance employees.
Our plastic injection mould openers are available in different types of construction, up to mould weights of 60 tons. Upon request also mould openers for moulds more heavy than 60 tons can be made.
The plastic injection mould openers are available as
•horizontally opening mould opener without turning function,
basing on a welded construction with two clamping plates,
one of them horizontally movable to open the mould
•horizontally opening mould opener with 90° turning function,
basing on a construction with two movable columns as well as
turnable clamping tables with clamping installation.
This version preliminary is used for very high mould weights.
•horizontally opening mould opener with sidewards working
turning function.
First the mould will be opened by moving out the two clamping
plates. Then, depending on the version, one or both clamping
plates will be turned sidewards by 90°
After this procedure, one or both inner surfaces of the mould
are in vertical position and accessable from the same side.
As an option, each mould opener for plastic injection moulds can be equipped with a turret crane or with a gantry crane, so that during maintenance work at the mould parts to be exchanged can be picked up by crane and also new mould parts can be put in by crane.
Type and load capacity of the crane to be used depend on size and weight of the parts to be exchanged.
As very often the production area and the maintenance area inside of the building are at different places, so that they do not have one common crane covering both areas, there is the possibility to equip the plastic injection mould opener with a gantry crane, which can carry the total weight of most heavy mould to be maintained.
In this case it is recommended to install at the head board of the plastic injection mould opener a "loading position", to which the moulds can be transported by a freely manoeuvrable battery-driven mould transport cart. Maintained moulds also can be picked up there again by the same mould transport cart.
Suitable mould transport carts as well as corresponding transport pallets with oil sump for flux oil dropping from the moulds we also can offer to you.
By this way the plastic injection mould opener can be used autarkic, independent from availability of the overhead crane. The possibility to load by overhead crane, if there is one existing, always will be remaining.
Plastic injection mould openers always are produced customer-specific, as nearly each single company and each single mould has special requests regarding the mould opener.
The photos of examples on this page surely will give to you a small impression about the big number of produced plastic injection mould openers as well as regarding the existing potential for customer-specific adaptations.
You are looking for a solution to open and to maintain your plastic injection moulds? Please contact us. We will be proud to elaborate for you a suitable solution.
Please contact us by phone or email.

Hi there! This is just a heads-up really. Chui, I'm a massive fan of your work - I loved my DC so much, in no small part thanks to you.
I just wanted to let you know that there is a port of UAE4ALL for the Wii available called UAE4Wii. However, the source of the port has not been released and the author has failed to respond to numerous calls from various people to release it.
I don't know if you care or not, but thought I'd let you know since it's originally your baby and it's GPL.
I recently discovered that a Firefox extension I maintain (Screengrab) was being ripped off by a company (for profit) and I was stupendously furious. All sorted now. Source, license and attribution all there. Nothing like that seems to be going on here, just the source and license are missing but I'd still be irritated were I you.

JetBlue Reigns Supreme in Airline Consumer Satisfaction Index
Move over, Southwest Airlines — your 20-year reign at the top of the American Customer Satisfaction Index is over. So who's the new champ? None other than JetBlue.
This year marks the first that JetBlue has had enough market share to be listed among the major US carriers in the ACSI survey, which ranks restaurants, hotels, airlines and consumer shipping based on customer satisfaction.
And JetBlue's debut made quite a splash: the airline scored 81 points, besting longtime champ Southwest and tying its all-time high score seen last year. The Dallas-based airline slipped four points to 77, something that could be the result of its merger with AirTran.
"Change can be disrupting and dissatisfying," said ACSI managing director David Van Amburg. "If, for instance, one airline was your favorite airline and it's now being absorbed by another whose website is different and [whose] way of doing things is different, that can create some dissatisfaction."
Delta Airlines knows this all too well. After its merger with Northwest, it got a nasty score of 56 in last year's ACSI rankings. But it bounced back this year with a score of 65, putting it ahead of United and American. They scored 62 and 64, respectively.

Thursday, 15 September 2011
We finally got to go on our long awaited holiday to the Scottish island of Colonsay. To say I was a little bit excited about this holiday is definitely an understatement. I can't remember having been as excited about a holiday for a very long time. Unfortunately this made it very hard for the actual holiday to live up to my excessively high expectations but we did have a lovely time.
Our cottage was quite small and very cold, but lovely - and we spent a lot of time playing cards (albeit sometimes wrapped in blankets), reading, knitting and eating lots of naughty things. Oh yes! I ate LOTS of naughty things - bread, jam, cheese, salami, pizza, crisps, sausages, burgers, and lots and lots of cake! (more about cake later........) The diet really took a very welcome holiday but even after having a curry once we'd come home I managed to only put 3 1/2 lbs on over a week and a half of being very bad indeed!
The beach next to the cottage was beautiful - known as the best beach on the island and there were two ways down from the cottage.
The first was along the little road
and the second was more "cross-country" and involved a steep climb up the rocks - but the route had been signposted by some previous visitors..........
There was a little stream to cross to get onto the beach itself and sometimes we used the stepping stones but other times we just waded through.
We took the children on as many walks as we could get them to go on (not many!). I think they were rather put off by the epic walk we did at the beginning of the week to visit an isolated beach - along with half the other holiday makers it seemed!
But by far their favourite activity was visiting "our" beach
- especially if they could run and jump in the sea in all their clothes...........
next year I'm going to look into getting wetsuits!
Another top activity was visiting "the cake house"......... Daisy was very excited to be nearly there..........
Okay, she was actually jokingly running to meet Fred but the cake house was at the end of this bit of road.
There were a couple of signs saying "Cakes for Sale" and when you approached the cottage there was this sign gaffer-taped to the door.........
We had a barbecue one evening with the children wrapped up against the cold and the midges (although fortunately we weren't really bothered by midges actually biting us - I don't think it was warm enough for them)
I also celebrated my 40th birthday while we were away and had a lovely day with lovely presents - including a very special one that was posted to me on the island.............
...........and I even had homemade cake and a card from the family staying in the cottage next to ours - such a kind thought.
So we had a lovely holiday - I just wish we had been there longer - and after all my weeks of searching for the perfect sock knitting pattern to take with me I wish I'd taken a different one as ended up ripping it out on the ferry home!

Lucy - if you have a Lidl near to you they often have wetsuits very reasonably priced so keep your eyes peeled, they often come up at the oddest times and if you see them buy them as they don't hang around for long. Colonsay looks fabulous!!!

It depends on the situation, but for most things, I like taking my time getting acclimated. I took my time getting used to living in San Francisco and then I dove into my first apartment and first job. I then took my time finding the next apartment, where I live now, and I am trying to find the right job for me and trying to learn what is right for me at this time. I dove right into college and knew that I wanted to go to school for baking and pastry and get a career in the hospitality industry. I sometimes think what my life would be like if I went to a less specialized school and took more classes other than the culinary/pastry related classes. I am taking classes online and some of the classes are general knowledge such as Biology and Economics. I like that I will also have to take electives that are not related to the hotel and restaurant management courses. I think I might take some art history classes or something like that. I wish I had the opportunity to study abroad like most other college students do so I would not feel left out when I talk to people my age about their experiences overseas that they had and the countries they've been to.
This is all about my professional life and my career…about my social life…I definitely dove into that because I did not know anyone in San Francisco before moving here. Now I have been to events and have made friends and connections and know people through these things. Relationships were something I dove into, but now I take them more seriously, and I take my time getting to know someone before getting too serious. It is all interesting to think about in the "age of the Internet" since there's online dating and blogs and everything else that is out there about me that people can see before even meeting me in person. I can also do a search on the person I might meet online or in the "real world" to see who they are.
So, in different situations, I dive right in, in other situations, I just move one step at a time. I think I generally choose the right path and while I think about how my life would be different if I chose differently, I have no regrets and I also believe that everything happens for a reason. If I did not dive into something, life would be boring and not adventurous.

Does a Neuron Need Math? Abstract: Neurons process and propagate signals through electrical (action potential or spike) and chemical mechanisms (synapses). A mathematical model (HH-model) that describes how action potentials are produced within neurons was derived by Hodgkin and Huxley through experiments on squid. The HH model is based on a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, so we may think of a neuron as a nonlinear dynamical system. In this talk, we present the HH-model and simplifications of the HH model including the Fitzhugh-Nagumo model and the integrate-and-fire model. As an example of a synaptically coupled neuronal network and its activity patterns, we also consider how irregular activity patterns can be generated in an excitatory-inhibitory network using simple maps, work which is motivated by experimental recordings from a brain area called the basal ganglia.

From High Potential to High Growth: Dell 2016 Index Ranks Top 25 Global Cities for Women Entrepreneurs
TWEET THIS: Dell announces 2016 #WECities Index, ranking top 25 cities for women entrepreneurs #DWEN
Global Entrepreneurship Summit, Dell announced findings of the 2016 Women Entrepreneur Cities Index (WE Cities), revealing the top 25 global cities fostering high potential women entrepreneurs (HPWE). WE Cities is the only global gender-specific index that looks at a city's ability to attract and foster growth in firms founded by women entrepreneurs. Cities, instead of countries, were identified in order to show the impact of local policies and programs in addition to national laws and customs.
"Innovation and job creation by women entrepreneurs is critical for a thriving global economy, yet our research shows some cities and countries are doing far more than others to encourage and support this important subset of the startup community," said Karen Quintos, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Dell. "Our index provides insights to move the conversation with policymakers and city leaders from awareness to action and, in turn, to empower women entrepreneurs to have the greatest economic impact on the world."
"Women entrepreneurs are our Country's best bet for economic growth," said Elizabeth Gore, entrepreneur-in-residence for Dell. "It's time for women to be politically engaged to ensure the right ecosystems are in place for them to scale. If politicians and entrepreneurs partner, dynamic policies can be put in place to close the circle and enhance the process from idea to enterprise. WE Cities can be used as a diagnostic tool to help ensure lawmakers are listening to their needs."
Top 25 WE Cities Ranking & Methodology
Building on the past four years of Dell's research on HPWE, five important categories of city characteristics were identified: capital, technology, talent, culture and markets. These pillars were organized into two groups – operating environment and enabling environment. The overall rating has 70 indicators, and, of these, 44 have a gender-based component. Individual indicators were weighted based on four criteria: relevance, quality of underlying data, uniqueness in the index and gender component.
Index Highlights
About WE Cities
Research for WE Cities began during the 2016 DWEN Future Ready Research Symposium chaired by Dr. David Ricketts from the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard. The research symposium brought together 40 global thought leaders, women entrepreneurs, academics and media to develop insights for the model. Key takeaways from the conversations at the Symposium included:
1776 and Dell Announce Startup Federation
To help entrepreneurs in cities and economies that may not provide adequate resources for scaling businesses, Dell has partnered with 1776 to launch an international startup platform, Union, aimed at enabling the next billion entrepreneurs by supporting, connecting and removing barriers for entrepreneurs regardless of their location.
Accessible through the Startup Federation—a worldwide network of startup campuses and mega-hubs—or virtually for entrepreneurs in remote areas, Union will provide entrepreneurs anywhere in the world the ability to reach the people, resources and education they need to take their ideas from seed to scale. Designed by 1776's team of engineers and aided by insights from incubators, accelerators, experts and hubs around the world, the platform enables entrepreneurs to:
"Dell's WE Cities research proves that millions of entrepreneurs are hampered by conditions in their local economies and policies," said Donna Harris, co-founder and co-CEO of 1776. "Entrepreneurs should be free to live wherever they want and have access to the same incredible resources. Our Union platform brings that idea to reality."
About the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network
As the visionary outcome of a true entrepreneur, Dell is committed to help power the success of entrepreneurs by developing technology solutions that enable human potential. Through the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network, Dell supports and nurtures a community of female entrepreneurs by providing access to technology, networks and capital. Learn more here.

A small earthquake hit northern New Jersey early Monday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The magnitude 2.0 temblor struck at 1:19 a.m. and was centered in Ringwood, N.J., a community that's still reeling from downed trees and power outages caused by Superstorm Sandy.
Geophysicist Jessica Turner at the National Earthquake Information Center said some people reported hearing a loud boom in their homes, according to The Associated Press. Turner said those on upper floors of a home may have felt shaking or saw objects on walls vibrate.
The quake was 3 miles below ground and could also be felt in Wanaque, Oakland, Franklin Lakes, West Milford and Peterson.
Ringwood police said there are no reports of damage in the area, the Associated Press reported.
The last recorded earthquake in New Jersey struck in February 2010 and measured 2.2 magnitude, Turner said.

Coyotes' skid reaches six with loss to Red Wingsby Jerry Brown
GLENDALE, Ariz. – While the Detroit Red Wings are finding their stride and sharpening their special-teams play for the stretch drive, the Phoenix Coyotes are fading from the Western Conference playoff picture and searching for answers.
And when Pavel Datsyuk is in the vicinity, all the Coyotes seem to locate is trouble.
Datsyuk helped set up Johan Franzen's power-play goal late in the second period and scored the game-winner on the power play 6:12 into the third, as the Red Wings rallied from a 2-1 deficit Monday for a 3-2 victory, sending the reeling Coyotes to their sixth straight loss.
Datsyuk, who collected his 500th NHL point in Anaheim on Friday, continues to haunt the Coyotes. He now has 14 goals and 57 points in 39 career games against Phoenix – the most he has collected against any team outside the Central Division. The Red Wings have now won five straight on the road and three in the last four days – following up a two-game sweep of the Ducks in Anaheim with another victory.
Ian White also scored for Detroit. After going six games in a row without a power-play goal, Detroit now has at least one in eight straight games, going 5-2-1 and solidifying its playoff position.
"Our specialty teams in the first (half of the season) were awful – both our power play and penalty kill," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "Changing (coaching) staff and with a lot of new players and you put it all together and it takes some time. It never went in the net for us, so now it's going in the net and it was a good part of today's game."
The Coyotes had a golden chance to tie the game with 4:12 left in regulation when Lauri Korpikoski was awarded his first career penalty shot after being taken down from behind by Detroit's Jakub Kindl on a shorthanded breakaway. But Detroit goalie Jonas Gustavsson stopped Korpikoski with a glove save to preserve the lead and the Red Wings' win.
"I just tried to be patient and wait (Korpikoski) out," said Gustavsson, who made 29 saves in his sixth appearance on an injury-plagued season. "I tried not to be too deep before he made his first move and it paid off."
Martin Hanzal and Rob Klinkhammer scored first-period goals for the Coyotes, who are 0-5-1 in their last six games – their longest losing streak in coach Dave Tippett's four-year tenure – and fell four points behind San Jose for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Tippett pointed to the game-winning goal, when Henrik Zetterberg's pass across the crease from behind the net deflected off Coyote David Schlemko's skate a right to Datsyuk, as an example of the black cloud that is following his team. The power play was set up by a bench minor penalty that was also a bad-luck scenario.
"The too many men on the ice (penalty) is a play that happens 100 times a game – one guy goes in one door, one guy goes out the other door, and the puck comes to the guy that steps on the ice (Boyd Gordon) as Hanzal is crawling off.
"Then we're kind of where we're supposed to be (on the Datsyuk goal), but it goes off of Schlemmer's skate and it goes right the wrong guy. It's a bad break, and mistakes like that are coming back to bite us right now. It's frustrating. We're saying all the right things; we're just not getting it done."
Jason LaBarbera, subbing for the injured Mike Smith, made 32 saves in a losing effort and played well, but Franzen's goal with 38.6 seconds left in the second period – set up by Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall – took the wind out of the Coyotes.
"We played well, but it's just one of those things where we're finding a way to lose games," said LaBarbera, now 1-5 this season. "We're not getting the bounces around their net and they're getting the bounces around ours."
Phoenix fell behind for the sixth straight game when White let a shot go through traffic and beat LaBarbera to the blocker side at 4:01. But the goal seemed to light a fire under the Coyotes.
After a blast from the point by Phoenix defenseman Michael Stone ping-ponged off both posts, Radim Vrbata's power-play shot from the half wall found Hanzal just outside the crease, and he re-directed the puck by Gustavsson at 7:56 for his seventh goal in the last seven regular season games against Detroit.
It was Phoenix's first first-period goal since a March 12 win against the Kings – but they weren't done. Gustavsson stopped a Keith Yandle bomb from the point and a David Moss rebound, but was down and out when Klinkhammer roofed his third goal in seven games as a Coyote at 12:17.
The Coyotes failed to build on their first lead in almost two weeks, missed several opportunities with a shaky Gustavsson surrendering rebounds left and right. And when Stone took a high-sticking penalty with just over two minutes left in the period, Franzen cashed in on the power-play and the Red Wings took all the momentum to the third.

At an event at The George Washington University on Tuesday, former Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., and Jared Bernstein, former chief economist and economic adviser to Vice President Joe Biden, both agreed that no discussion about reducing the debt and deficit is serious without addressing the big three: Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
"Every penny that came in last year to the United States…went only to [those] three things," Simpson said. "When somebody comes up on their hind legs in this election and says, 'I can get this done without touching precious Medicare, precious Medicaid, precious Social Security and precious defense,' those people are fake, total phonies."
Simpson was co-chairman of President Obama's deficit reduction committee, the Simpson-Bowles commission. The commission's plan would lower 2013–2022 projected budget deficits by $6.3 trillion and tackle large structural budget issues.
The commission's plan came up during Wednesday's presidential debate when moderator Jim Lehrer asked the candidates if they supported Simpson-Bowles.
"I have my own plan," Republican nominee Mitt Romney said. "It's not the same as Simpson-Bowles. But in my view, the president should have grabbed it. If you wanted to make some adjustments to it, take it, go to Congress, fight for it."
"That's what we've done," responded Obama, "made some adjustments to it, and we're putting it forward before Congress right now."
The Obama administration has embraced parts of the plan, but not all. Bernstein said that the Obama administration's proposed fiscal 2013 budget clearly reflected the influence of Simpson-Bowles.
"If you actually look at the budget that the president submitted in 2013, it takes a lot from Bowles-Simpson, maybe not enough for Simpson himself…but it takes a lot from Bowles-Simpson," Bernstein said. "That budget has considerable Medicare and Medicaid savings in it…It actually cuts hundreds of billions from Medicare. So, there are a lot of Democrats who [are taken] way out of their comfort zone."
Simpson, who feels the president hasn't gone far enough and needs to talk more about reforms to Social Security, pleaded for politicians to get serious about fixing the debt and deficit.
"People are so sick and tired of BS and mush," said Simpson. "They're thirsting for truth, and somebody's gotta tell them that."

Natural Prescriptions For Parkinson's DiseaseJune 2004

|Natural Prescriptions For Parkinson's Disease
By Bruce Scali
After 200 years of investigation, researchers and clinicians have identified neither the cause nor the cure for Parkinson's disease, the condition first described by James Parkinson in 1817. Yet with the baby-boom generation on the cusp of retirement, the need for definitive answers has never been more urgent.
Neurodegenerative symptoms such as tremor and a shuffling gait, also known as paralysis agitants, have been observed and recorded by physicians since ancient times. Much has been learned since about the characteristics of Parkinson's disease, but much remains unknown. Not only do the cause and cure of Parkinson's continue to elude us, but doctors still cannot identify those in early stages of the disease. Consequently, a definitive program for prevention remains uncertain.
On the positive side, much is known about Parkinson's disease, the factors that contribute to its development, and medical treatments and natural alternatives that relieve its symptoms and may even slow its progression. And avenues of further inquiry have shown great promise.
Parkinson's disease is correlated with age, and up to 40% of those with the disease experience serious mental decline.1 Diagnostic tools such as the P300 brainwave speed and voltage test can identify early cognitive loss and may help detect early-stage Parkinson's disease as well.2
According to the National Parkinson Foundation, there are approximately 1.2 million people with Parkinson's disease in the US and Canada. Parkinson's disease afflicts 1% of adults aged 60 or older and 2% of adults aged 70 or older.3 As the population ages and the average life span grows, researchers estimate that 1.5 million Americans will be afflicted with Parkinson's in the near future.
The Pathology of Parkinson's
Epidemiological factors play a part in Parkinson's disease. Males are more likely to develop the disease than females and its incidence in Caucasians seems higher than in other races.5,6 The prevalence of Parkinson's disease differs geographically, but when allowances are made for age distribution, diagnostic criteria, and varying access to health care, the results are not conclusive.7,8 It is worthwhile noting, however, that three genes have been identified that give rise to the Parkinsonian phenotype, and Parkinson's disease occurs more frequently in identical twins.9
Genetic studies involving families, twins, and single genes also have not been definitive.10-12 Data too often have depended on the subjects' memories, and Parkin-son's disease could be explained by diet and environmental factors that also are shared by the subjects. Regardless, if Parkinson's disease were strictly a genetic trait, we would see far more occurrences of it in families than at present.
Toxins such as carbon monoxide, herbicides, methanol, and insecticides have been linked to Parkinson's disease, so both industrial and farm populations are affected. Exposure to infections such as encephalitis, measles, influenza, and sexually transmitted diseases also has been associated with Parkinson's.13
Determining cause becomes a question of whether something specific is responsible or whether one's genetic composition predisposes susceptibility to environmental factors linked to Parkinson's disease. In the absence of a specific cause, the consensus is that Parkinson's disease results from both genetic and environmental factors.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
In the absence of clinical certainty, a physician can use meth-ods of exclusion to eliminate Parkinson's disease as a diagnosis. Blood tests identify toxic poisoning and hypoparathyroidism that could explain symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans uncover structural, vascular, and metabolic abnormalities that cause Parkinson's disease. Patient history reveals previous infections and drug therapies. Because motor deficits appear and advance gradually in Parkinson's, rapid onset or progression of symptoms would argue against a diagnosis of the disease. Exclusion also is attributed to non-responsiveness to dopamine therapies.15 Eliminating the possibility of Parkinson's disease helps physicians to focus on effective treatments for the actual condition presented by patients.
Accurate diagnosis is a significant issue with Parkinson's disease. A post-mortem study showed that 25% of those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease had another cause of the symptoms presented.16 Inaccurate diagnoses can lead to wasteful, ineffective, or even harmful treatments for patients, as well as provide faulty data that make finding a cure for Parkinson's even more difficult.
Oxidative stress results when an excess of free radicals overwhelms the body's defenses. In their search for an electron to pair with a free radical, molecules cause damage to the donor molecules. The resulting chain reactions damage lipids, protein, DNA, and, ultimately, cells.18 Free radicals also can increase intracellular calcium, causing apoptosis (slow cell death, as opposed to necrosis, a more rapid cell death). Metals such as iron, copper, and aluminum catalyze free radical reactions, and studies have shown an excess of these metals in the brains of Parkinson's disease patients.19
The exploration of mitochondrial abnormalities in Parkinson's disease patients resulted from the discovery of the effect of MPTP (a toxin found in heroin and pesticides) on mitochondria exclusively in the SNc region of the brain.20 This finding was not duplicated in patients with other neurodegenerative conditions. It is not known how mitochondrial damage contributes to neuron degeneration, but research is concentrating on a malfunctioning immune system, increased free radical reactions, and how this damage might initiate apoptosis.21
Excitatory amino acids such as glutamate also have been shown to cause cell damage.22 The mechanism is the mediation of an influx of calcium across cell membranes causing damage to proteins, membrane lipids, and DNA.
Inadequate trophic (nutritional) factors contribute to cell death.23 Experiments have shown that neurons die when they are disconnected from target tissue such as muscle.24
Finally, cytokines are small proteins produced as a result of microglia brain cells reacting to damaged neurons. Cytokines produce other cytokines, starting a cascade of events that causes harmful inflammation in brain tissue. In some cases, however, the inflammation causes further damage. Cytokines' contribution to cell death is not fully understood, but a large number of glial cells have been observed post-mortem in the brains of Parkinson's victims.13
These complex cellular processes are both challenging and exciting. New information complicates the discovery of a cure for Parkinson's disease, but also has led to effective strategies for mitigating Parkinson's symptoms and slowing the disease's relentless progression.
Disease Onset Strategy
Doctors usually concentrate on treating motor disorders that are disturbing to a person who has never experienced tremors, slow limb movements, or rigidity. While the focus is on treating these symptoms, mention must be made of the cognitive issues that arise with Parkinson's disease.
For Parkinson's patients, cognitive degeneration is a serious issue, with a profound impact on their quality of life. A thorough assessment of cognitive status is necessary whenever Parkinson's disease is first diagnosed. This includes memory, attention, intelligence quotient (IQ), and psychological testing for normative comparisons and baselines, which can be used later to quantify declines and indicate treatment.
While Parkinson's disease itself does not have an early-warning marker, dementia does. Cognitive assessments and functional tests such as a quantitative electroencephalograph (QEEG) can pinpoint a deficit early enough to allow the use of therapies proven to preserve mental faculties.
Diet is paramount at every stage of Parkinson's. A certified nutritionist should be an early recruit in the battle. Organic fruits, vegetables, and poultry, wild salmon, red beets, green beans, carrots, turnips, spinach, and red onions are especially beneficial in avoiding toxins. Unheated extra-virgin olive oil and herbs for flavoring should be used. Coffee has been associated with a lower risk of Parkinson's disease, likely as a result of caffeine's dopaminergic properties.28 Sugars and fats must be avoided, as high-sugar diets have been correlated with a threefold risk for developing Parkinson's, and high-fat diets with a fivefold risk.29,30 Others to avoid include dairy, wheat, and gluten products, margarine, fried foods, polyunsaturated oils (especially canola), sweetened foods, artificial sweeteners, processed food (such as deli meats), monosodium glutamate (MSG), alcohol (except red wine), chlorinated and fluoridated water, and microwaved foods.
Finally, weight-bearing exercise has been associated with an increase in testosterone that raises dopamine levels. Combined with the inherent benefit of improved body tone and coordination, an exercise program is indispensable in treating Parkinson's disease.

|Skychitravels braving the cold at the 57th Presidential Inauguration
Tuesday, the day after the 57th Presidential Inauguration I went to tour the Capitol Building and the Library of Congress. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the tour guides mention the contributions of Black people.
|SkychiTravels in Emancipation Hall
|"Skychitravels" in Emancipation Hall of Capitol Hill Visitor's Center
During the Capitol Building Tour our guide stated that slaves helped to build the building.
|Skychitravels poses with Sojourner Truth Bust in Emancipation Hall at Capitol Building Visitor's Center
|Slave Commemorative Marker in Emancipation Hall of the Capitol Building Visitor's Center
Our tour guide pointed out the bust of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. which has been on display since the MLK Day Federal Holiday in 1969.
|Skychitravels poses with bust of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Capitol Hill Rotunda
|Capitol Building Tour Guide in National Statuary Hall location of President Obama's Inaugural Luncheon
Our tour guide lead us to the basement of the Capitol Building where he showed us an archway through which passed Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt for their inaugurations.
|Capitol Hill Archway of the original wall built by slaves
I was full of pride about the contributions of my people being recognized in a history and cultural tour of the Capitol Building, especially after celebrating the second inauguration of the first African American President Barack Obama.
|Library of Congress Tour Guide Tom pointing out the race of the statues in main hall
Then I met the second tour guide at the Library of Congress who was an enigma. Old Tom stated that something happened yesterday but he didn't know what it was. Next Tom said something about insulting us (Black) and not caring. Everyone in the group was shocked.
|Frescos in the Library of Congress
There were two other African American ladies and myself present when our tour guide Tom directed these statements at us. Another husband and wife couple joins who are also African American. Tom points to the frescos and states Blacks placed those stones in the ceiling. He says to the wife of the African American couple something about her getting up there to put those stones in place.
Then another woman who is White walks over to me and asked if I was going to do something about this. I looked at her and shook my head, No. I really did not know what to do or say, none of us knew.
I was thinking. What the hell was his problem? Should I leave? Is he a volunteer? Can you fire a volunteer? Should I join another group? To whom should I complain? Why is he so hateful? Why do old folks feel like they can say whatever they want to say?
There is something going on. This is not about me.
|Library of Congress White and Asian Children Sculptures
No one left the tour at that point. We all followed him into the main hall of the Library of Congress. Tom begins to share with us the representation of the races of the children. There are four children representing the White, Asian, African, and Indian people. These were the four races recognized in America by the Library of Congress in 1897.
|Library of Congress Indian and African Children Sculptures
Now I get it. Old Tom doesn't want to talk about the contributions of Black People or recognize that we exist in history and culture. This is the way my mind interpreted Old Tom's words and actions.
Tom tells the group about the 33 races represented on the outside of the Library of Congress in 1897. There are faces in groups of threes on the corners of the Thomas Jefferson building of the Library of Congress. Then Tom says they had to make up some races like the blonde and brunette race to complete the 33 races because they ran out of races. Tom repeats this statement two or three times.
I am thinking to myself that does not make sense. Sculptures do not have any color. One can't tell if a sculpture is blonde or brunette. This made me curious.
So, I returned the next day to repeat the tours at the Capitol Building and the Library of Congress. This time I joined a tour at the Library of Congress lead by Mary, an African American woman who has been leading tours since 2002. Of course this was a completely different experience to the previous tour with Tom.
|Library of Congress Children Sculptures Representing Various Occupations in 1897
Mary explained the meaning of the sculpture children representing the various work occupations in 1897 that all are welcome to the Library of Congress no matter your occupation.
|Tour Guide Mary leading a group at the Library of Congress
After the tour with Mary, I walked outside the Jefferson building of the Library of Congress to see the faces of the 33 races represented in 1897.
|Faces of 3 Races on the Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building
As you can see, there are no blond or brunette races as stated by Old Tom.
What Old Tom didn't say was that there are 5 faces of African Race on the back of the Library of Congress.
|Five African Faces on the Rear of the Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building
Thanks to Old Tom, I discovered a National Treasure of Monuments to Black History. In 1897, Library of Congress recognized 5 African faces. My pride has returned thanks to Old Tom lies and my curiosity.
I stand corrected Old Tom stated there was a blonde, brunette and redhead race; there in fact are blonde and brunette races depicted on the Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building.

I took a picture of Alan when he was a baby, and for a while it was one of the first-page hits on Google Image search for the keyword "happy". Over time, several people have asked to use the picture.
Most recently, it graces the front page of UC Riverside, where it is used to illustrate a research study on the nature of happiness. That makes it official, when he was a baby he was the happiest on earth.
The funny thing is, the day I took that picture, he was also most unhappy. We were packing for a move, and he was quite cranky that we were paying attention to all these boxes and things instead of him. I took a break for a few minutes, and he was soooo happy, I decided to take a picture. He was still happy to be the focus of attention, and I think the pic shows that.
Nokia 770
rillian brought his Nokia 770 when visiting here, and it seems really cool. The kids liked it, as well - Alan surfed to the neopets site and was able to log in, and Max made a drawing with the sketch (primitive paint) app.
My take is that the form factor is a winner, but I think I'll wait until the second generation to actually get one. The CPU is quite pokey by modern standards, and memory is tight.
It does run Ghostscript right out of the box, though! It seriously looks like it's a lot easier to develop for than your usual handheld.

Theatre season features comic relief
PLAINVIEW - A few things about Wayland Baptist University's 2004-05 theatre season may look a little different to the typical patron. A guest director, new actors and a lighter opening production, not to mention the return of a favorite restaurant for the dinner theatre, will likely entice theatre fans.
But some things about WBU theatre have not changed. Patrons and new guests will find the same quality acting, excellent scripts and fabulous set design they've enjoyed in years past.
According to WBU Theatre Director Marti Runnels, the season does bring some changes. For one, the annual Shorts production, featuring several short pieces directed and performed by students, will take on a different tone this year.
"There will be more humor this year than in previous years," Runnels notes. "There are less of the heavy, contemplative pieces that have been performed in the past. These are more funny pieces, with only one serious piece."
Students will still direct and act in the pieces, with Runnels continuing to serve in an advisement role. Students cast in Shorts run the gamut from theatre majors to those with other majors but acting interests.
Shorts will take the Harral Studio Theatre stage on Oct. 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9 at 8 p.m.
The second production of the year will be Approaching Zanzibar, written by Tina Howe. Direction for this humorous yet poignant production will be by Scott Crew, a doctoral student at Texas Tech University and a former adjunct instructor at WBU.
Runnels said the piece deals with a family's cross-country journey to visit an aunt living in New Mexico.
"It has all the elements you might imagine with a family on vacation," he said. "But besides it being fun, it has some serious elements dealing with family and other issues."
Approaching Zanzibar will take the stage at 8 p.m. on Nov. 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20, included as part of the homecoming festivities at WBU the last weekend.
The third show of the year, featured in early spring, will be The Young Man From Atlanta, written by Horton Foote. Runnels said the piece, which won Texas playwright Foote a Pulitzer Prize, is the most dramatic of the season's lineup.
"Like a lot of his work, this play is very real. Foote is not a slick, theatrical or gimmicky playwright," Runnels said. "He writes with sparse language and simplicity. His plays really are like a slice of life."
The production - which takes the stage Feb. 25, 26 and March 3, 4, and 5 - is about a couple in the 1950s dealing with the drowning death of their son in a fictional Texas town. Foote is probably best known for writing the screenplay for the movie To Kill a Mockingbird.
The final play of the season, which will also serve as WBU Theatre's annual Dinner Theatre production, will be The Gin Game by D. L. Coburn. Made famous on Broadway by husband-and-wife acting duo Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, the play features only two characters.
Runnels said the comical dramatic play is about two older individuals living in a retirement home who begin a game of gin rummy and learn much about themselves and life in the process.
The personnel for the production presents a unique situation in WBU theatre history, as the cast and major crew heads are all completing the production for credit toward their major requirements. Jennifer Riley will direct the play as her senior practicum, and senior Jennifer Rutherford will provide set design to fulfill her practicum requirements. Senior theatre majors Billy Boone and Milea Simpson are fulfilling their practicum in acting through the production.
The show will be presented April 21, 22 and 23 with dinner provided beforehand, catered by The Olive Garden of Lubbock. That production requires reservations in order to prepare for the meal.
Season tickets for WBU Theatre are $40 for individuals and $70 for a couple, resulting in a savings over individual per-show prices. Season ticket holders are also guests at a special reception held before opening night of the first show.
For more information, or to purchase season tickets, call the Theatre Box Office at 291-1087.
