Story highlights
- Google lab works on apps that help users discover interesting things
- Niantic Labs has created travel adviser "Field Trip" and mobile game "Ingress"
- "Field Trip" uses GPS to point out interesting things you are near
- Ingress uses public landmarks in a worldwide game between two sides
The "Niantic" was a whaling ship used during the Gold Rush of the 1800s and then run aground to be used for storage and as a hotel in a place now known as San Francisco.
As the city grew and changed, the ship was built over and around many times, becoming part of the foundation of the city and now residing, at least in part, in the San Francisco Maritime Museum.
A group at Google has adopted that ship's name, with the goal of crafting apps that encourage users to explore the world around them and, in the process, discover such hidden gems.
The idea, according to John Hanke, vice president of product development for Niantic Labs, was to get people moving, exploring, and having fun during the normally stationary act of playing on their phones.
"The theme of the group was the things around you that just lie beneath the surface, the unseen world," Hanke said. "The information exists on the Internet, but these are probably things you don't notice in the real world. The information, although it is there, is often difficult to get to."
Niantic Labs has been working on two apps -- "Field Trip" and "Ingress."
"Field Trip" links 130 different information sources to your smartphone's GPS, resulting in alerts to interesting things currently around you.
The app, which is available for iOS and Android phones, has been out for about a year, but is now available for use with Google Glass as well.
The advantage of Glass, Hanke said, is that it lets users walk around, hands-free and experience things in a new way.
"The idea (with Google Glass integration) is that the information can get to you in a way that isn't disruptive with what you are doing," he said. "You can still interact with the people around you; you can glance up and see it; you can have it read to you. But you have that awareness of 'This is what that place is, this is what used to be here.' "
During a demonstration in Washington, the app alerted me to nearby restaurants in the Google Glass display. I could choose to ignore them or go deeper into the information without pulling out a phone or bothering the people around me.
In another example, the background and history on an unusual building popped up and could be read to me as I studied the building.
"You're not lost in your phone. You can get (the information) read in your ear. You now know that information and you can do with it whatever you want," Hanke said. "It's kind of like having a smart local (person) walking beside you telling you where everything is."
If "Field Trip" is meant to be a helpful app for a leisurely stroll, "Ingress" offers something else entirely: a competitive, worldwide game for the Android phone where the enemy could be the person next to you on any given street corner.
While encouraging fierce competition, "Ingress" has organically evolved during its beta run into an app that brings people together socially and creates connections between players beyond the game.
Recently, Google has been touring the world for an in-game event called Operation Cassandra. The goal of the game, according to the elaborate, sci-fi inspired story Niantic has crafted for "Ingress," is for groups representing the two warring factions -- the Enlightened and the Resistance -- to create virtual fields that blanket an area and control the people therein.
Virtual hot-spots, called "portals" in the game, appear at the GPS locations of real landmarks like public art, historic buildings, museums, local institutions and churches.
Players must be in the real-world location of these portals to "capture" them for their team.
Hanke said his original plan was to create an MMO (massively multiplayer online) game where people all over the world could play in their own time toward a common goal. But when people started gathering in cities to capture portals, he says, something amazing happened.
"Getting together in the real world, people are going out and playing for an hour -- or sometimes all night -- and then having beers or breakfast together," he said. "People are doing that; I never expected them to when I designed this game."
In "Ingress," there is always competition on a local level, as well as the occasional special event, with a specific, time-sensitive goal, that can draw dozens of players from both factions. Recently, Google has been hopping from city to city for major gatherings, though, drawing player numbers in the hundreds.
Sydney, Australia; New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington, and Cologne and Dusseldorf in Germany, have all been the sites of such events.
Daphne Domingo, one of the main organizers in Washington, said that while she isn't normally a competitive person, the social aspects of the game make it fun.
"You have so many different socio-economical backgrounds in the players and we've all become dearest friends," Domingo said. "You really can't do it alone. You have to work with other people and we've all become good friends, no matter what side you're on."
Lindsey Boyle, a tech researcher for the U.S. Department of State, said the game is addictive, but not so much that she won't invite everyone, even opponents, out for brunch afterward.
"You're meeting strangers and you're sharing a bond when we're playing," Boyle said. "It grows and you start hanging out even when you aren't playing."
The launch video for the game nearly six months ago showed two people eyeing each other warily at a portal, wondering which side the other was on. Hanke said he expected some of that to happen, but what he didn't expect was for those people to actually start talking to each other.
Said Hanke: "On social media, and even in the real world, people started doing that and walking up to other people and saying, 'You're playing 'Ingress,' aren't you?' "
"Then these local clubs began to form and they started sending us pictures of their meet-ups. We started planning these events around that organic phenomenon."
One player described hanging out with other players from both sides as "friend-ponents, not frienemies."
"There is a rivalry, but there is also a camaraderie," said Filemon Palero. "There is a feeling of being together when you are doing something as a team. I found I was going to see exhibits around D.C. just because of 'Ingress.' "
The Android-only game is still in closed beta and by invitation only, but Hanke said his team is handing out invitations as quickly as they get requests. He thinks the game will be ready soon to be opened to players everywhere and hopes the hive mind, collective intelligence of the world will enjoy solving his puzzles.
"People were sending us videos of players trudging through the snow (in Russia) playing 'Ingress,' " he said. "That blew our minds people were doing that."

The ladder was extended upwards almost to the edge of the sun. I was told the driver aimed for the sun when he extended her, but in her old age she had developed a slight arch when extended the full one hundred foot. So, the ladder tip ended up just to the left side of the sun.
Next to the base of the ladder on both sides were two red tubes that looked like grenade launchers. These were the hydraulic cylinders that raised and lowered the ladder.
If I wanted to be a firefighter, my task was simple. I needed to climb to the top, touch the tip, then climb down. All in less than ten minutes.
But, there's something strange about climbing a gigantic ladder – especially a crooked one – that's sticking straight up into the air. And stranger yet, it's not leaning against a supportive structure – like a building.
All kinds of thoughts go through your brain. What if one of those tiny support arms fails? What if one of the hydraulic cylinders holding up the ladder sprouts a leak? Thoughts turn to fear.
The palms began to perspire. The heart beat increased – both in rate and intensity. And, I got a big lump in my throat. Did I really want to be a firefighter?
Yes, was the answer. But, it wasn't a deep manly yes – it was more like a grade school girl yes.
So, I climbed up to the turntable. As I stood at the base the very top wasn't quite visible. I was just about to change my mind when the time keeper asked, "Are you ready?" Right before I gave the "thumbs up", I told myself the death would at least be instant.
The first fifty feet went fast. A hand rail on both sides gave me a sense of security. This wasn't too bad after all. But the ladder started to narrow. And then the side rail was no longer.
The sun was getting closer as the ladder skinnied down to what seemed to be a size that fit my preboarding child like voice. I had reached the curve point. And it made me feel like there was a super magnet pulling me towards the left.
It was at that point the time keeper shouted, "Five minute mark!" I refused to look down. Up, up, up another sixteen feet. The red painted tip was now in reach. I stretched my arm until I feared it would disconnect from the socket. Slowly my fingers encircled the rung.
Looking down at the pea-sized time keeper he appeared to wave his hand. That was enough acknowledgement for me.
The speed of the trip up the ladder was liken a turtle stampeding through peanut butter. The one down the ladder was liken a rabbit being chased by a beagle. Within what seemed like seconds I was standing next to the time keeper.
All that remained was to ensure he saw me reach the top. And he did.
We all go through challenges in life. In many ways facing and overcoming those challenges is what molds us.
My career as a firefighter began with a "One Hundred Foot Challenge."

Verizon Call Center Manager Found Asleep On The Job
This is a picture of a Verizon call center manager sleeping on the job, according to The Call Center Blogger, who writes:
Mr. Operations Manager with last name Changco ( previous from Sykes! Anybody know him? ) is always in the habit of sleeping on the floor during work time and could care less if others, especially his agents, see him on the floor dozing off to Lala-land. My friend says he also has a penchant of passing his deliverables to his subordinates while he comfortably takes his shut-eye. He also reminds the poor agents to submit the reports to him instead of his boss supposedly so he can take credit for the agents' work! Ang sabi pa "Ang dali lang pala nito!" Nyahaha!
If you've ever wondered why outsourced customer service sucks, maybe it's because they're hiring jokers like Corey Changco to run their call centers.

Sicilian Semolina Bread
I thought I would try D.T. DiMuzio's recipe from his book 'bread baking' for Sicilian Semolina Bread. Everything went according to plan and the dough tested close to the goal Temperature of 77F. Things could not have looked better...then I realized...Oh My Gosh!...I forgot to put in the Olive Oil...I knew I should have had it measured and ready to go....because if I don't have ingredients right in front of me...this happens! I didn't even have the bottle of oil out on the counter...so much for earlier thoughts about the oil! Oh it would probably be great even without the oil...but no...I wanted my oil. No matter what!! In it went.. all of it...slooooshing all around the dough...not mixing in very well ...what now! I picked up about a Tablespoon of flour tossed it in around the dough and things seemed to come to together pretty good. I don't think I will ever forget my oil again...lesson learned! Things looked pretty good...other than I had a very puffy wet dough to try and form into an S...so I did the best I could and made 2 scrolls..one with a backward S and one batard. We had several slices with dinner and we thought the flavor was great. So good in fact I thought I would take the one S out of the frig that I was going to retard for tomorrow. I thought I would let it proof a little longer and see if that would help the S not to get so blown away as in the first loaf. The first two were done on a pan with added steam>my new Lava Rocks!...I would do this last loaf in my Bell Cloche and see if there was any difference. Well, not really anything that noticable..they looked pretty much the same both even had the S pretty much blown away...I think my dough was a little on the wet side...then maybe again it was the oil being added later on made the dough slack...Any comment on this will be greatly appreciated. This was a first forgetting to add the oil and Im sure it must affect the gluten formation some how..so any comments and advice are very much appreciated.
2 S Scrolls - One S and Batard baked with steamed oven - One S in a La Cloche
Goal Temperature is 77F This is when I realized I had forgotten the Oil! :>/
Olive Oil has been added and Temperature holding at 77.7 Im thinking I need these lucky numbers!
Batard was nearly all eaten! It had a very nice buttery flavor from the duram flour...we are not crazy on the seeds..but I wanted to stick with tradition and they did add a nice toasty flavor. Things had turned out better than I thought adding the oil so late didn't seem to do to much harm.
S on the Left was Oven Steamed S on Right was baked in the Bell Cloche and retarded for about 2 hrs. in the frig.
longer before baking.

Rangkaian Bass-Trable Audio Tone Control
This is a simple tone control can be used in may audio applications. It can be added to amplifers, used as a stand alone control module, or even built into new and exciting instruments. It's one IC construction makes it a very compact circuit, as only a few support components are required. Plus, it does not use a dual power supply. This means that the circuit will run from 9V to 15V (although the bass will be a little weak at 9V).
IC LM1036 is controlled tone (bass/treble), volume and balance circuit for stereo applications in car radio, TV and audio systems. An additional control input allows loudness compensation to be simply effected. Four control inputs provide control of the bass, treble, balance and volume functions through application of DC voltages from a remote control system or, alternatively, from four potentiometers which may be biased from a zener regulated supply provided on the circuit. Each tone response is defined by a single capacitor chosen to give the desired characteristic.
Skema Rangkaian Bass-Trable Audio Tone Control
Note: Vcc can be anything between 9V to 16V and the output capacitors are 10uF/25V electrolytic.
Tone Control Features:
* Wide supply voltage range, 9V to 16V
* Large volume control range, 75 dB typical
* Tone control, 15 dB typical
* Channel separation, 75 dB typical
* Low distortion, 0.06% typical for an input level of 0.3 Vrms
* High signal to noise, 80 dB typical for an input level of 0.3 Vrms
* Few external components required

Branch Grinders in Sioux Falls Finish Work
A contractor hired by the City of Sioux Falls has finished grinding and removing the tree branches that were left at the drop-off sites after the three-day ice storm in April, and they got it all done a full month ahead of schedule.
City officials say TFR Enterprises finished its work on the final site, on East Chambers Street, on Tuesday, September 3, after grinding 44,700 tons of debris.
Also, City crews and Mueller Pallets ground another 10,000 tons of branch debris, bringing the total from the storm to nearly 55,000 tons.
Meanwhile, a contractor is grinding tree stumps left from the storm on public property and street rights-of-way, and that work is expected to take until early October.
Drainage area cleanup is underway as well.

A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
This first lesson will mark a turning point in your life. You'll begin by measuring your assertiveness quotient, you'll learn about the many surprising consequences of not being assertive, and you'll learn to recognize the different behaviors of passive, aggressive, and assertive people.
Before you can begin to act assertively, you need to be able to identify your self-canceling thoughts and change your inner script. In this lesson, you'll learn why you have negative thoughts about yourself and what those could be. I'll share with you several techniques for replacing them with a positive inner script, including visualization, affirmations, storytelling, writing a journal, and creating a collage.
One of the ways non-assertive people lose power is through the use of certain types of language to either gain approval or avoid opposition, criticism or disagreement. Today, you'll learn how to recognize when you're doing this, and you'll discover some simple and painless adjustments to the way you say things that can help you avoid this problem.
Now that you've learned what takes your verbal power away, it's time to learn how to be verbally assertive. In this lesson, you'll learn how to make the four types of "I" statements to tell others about yourself, respond to others' requests, ask for cooperation and support, and confront another person. You'll also learn about techniques you can use to deal assertively with people who are angry with you or criticizing you.
Just as an actor perfects the nonverbal aspects of a role, you need to pay attention to the nonverbal nuances in your new assertiveness role. What you'll learn in this lesson is how to use eye contact, facial expressions, voice, body posture, gait and clothes to create an assertive image.
In order for you to be most effective, you need to be able to adjust your assertive message to the personality of the person with whom you're communicating and to deal with resistance. In this lesson, we'll study four behavior types and five sensory types to help you understand which assertive approach works best. You'll also find out how to identify resistance in others by observing verbal and nonverbal clues and various methods you can use to handle the resistance you may encounter.
Most people find it extremely challenging to be assertive with close family members. Today, you'll learn about a variety of statements family members use to manipulate you, and you'll discover the most effective ways to respond to each of them. You'll learn how to act assertively with your parents, siblings, and children to build more positive relationships.
In this lesson, you'll discover the four different emotional types of people and how they come together as mates. We'll explore the relationships these types have with each other, what problems tend to arise, and how the partners can treat each other differently in order to resolve any problems they may have. You'll also learn guidelines for working out issues with your partner in an assertive but loving manner.
Do you find it difficult to say no to a friend who asks a favor that you don't really want to do? Do you have difficulty having conversations in social situations? If so, you'll really learn a lot from this lesson. I'll show you how to use the assertiveness techniques you've been learning to deal with your friends in a calm but strong manner. Next, you'll learn techniques you can use to open up to other people and carry on interesting conversations.
You may approach the thought of being assertive at work with trepidation. However, when supervisors and employees treat each other with respect and act assertively with each other, both happiness on the job and productivity increase. In this lesson, you'll learn how to be assertive during job interviews as well as with your boss and subordinates, what to look for to see if your workplace encourages or discourages assertiveness, and how to advance assertiveness where you work.
Often, you encounter situations in which you deal with people as a consumer. Today, you'll learn how to be assertive with waiters, salespeople, government clerks, doctors, hospital employees, lawyers, and IRS agents. We'll also discuss how to be assertive in everyday situations, such as when a restaurant or movie theater is unbearably cold.
So far in this course, you've gained a wealth of knowledge about how to be assertive. You've learned skills and techniques to use with family and friends, as a consumer, and in the workplace and everyday situations. In this closing lesson, you'll learn some situations in which it's better to not be assertive, how to give and receive compliments, and how to be assertive in all parts of your life.

To flip the cards you may click on either the right (REVEAL) or the left card (PROMPT), however there is a difference.
When you click on the left card (PROMPT): you are indicating that you know the card.
When you click on the right card (REVEAL): you are indicating that you don't know or didn't know the card.
Of course the system does not care in the slightest whether you know or don't know the cards, but it will use the statistics to present more frequently those cards for which you clicked on the right most (REVEAL) face and less often the ones where the (PROMPT) card was clicked.
= ALL means that all "sides" or "faces" for each word will be tested. (eg., Walk > 1P Sg. Present, 1P Plural Past, etc)
= 2FACE means that ONLY 2 "faces" or "sides" will be shown, which can be selected by using the dropdown menus.
Card Ordering
Cards will be pulled one by one from the deck and will not repeat until you have gone through each once.
The system starts off with only a few cards active. Once you have indicated that you know those cards (having gotten them right several times in a row), it will bring more cards into active play.
The more times you get a card correct, the less chances the odds of the card being shown. This is based on a Leitner System.
If you know the card so well you don't want to be quizzed on it for a while, click this. It moves your card to the 9th box in the Leitner system, making the probability of you seeing it again fairly low.
Saving Your Progress
If you have cookies enabled in your browser (this is the default mode for most browsers unless you actively turned them off), they system will remember your card stats from one session to the next, and you will start up right where you left off.
= Cookie found
= No Cookie found
= Click if you want to start over
Filters & Tags: Sorting and Card Selection
Each card has been given at least one tag. The tags may declare the card part of 'lesson 2' and 'food'. You can select a tag using the dropdown box in the bottom-middle of the main screen. A tag will be added.
When you add one tag, it excludes all cards except for those with that tag.
Example: Only cards tagged with 'Animals' will be shown.
When you add each additional tag that 'deck' will be added to the pile.
Example: Both cards tagged with 'Animals' and/or 'Jobs' will be shown.
The more tags you add, the more cards in the deck, with no tags meaning a full deck (the most cards).
&bull Click on a tag to remove it.
&bull Changing this card filter does not in any way affect your card statistics.
Card Faces
You will also see that you may change the order in which the faces are presented so you may go through the cards using any face as the PROMPT and any face as the REVEAL.

Very sorry to hear that Texans defensive coordinator, Wade Phillips, will be out for 7-10 days to have surgery relating to his kidney and gall bladder. Not so much for the Texans team–I don't much want to talk about the football implications of this–but I think the team will be fine. But it seems to me that the only surgery that's minor is surgery that is the kind not done to you. (If you want to send him well wishes and are on Twitter, the Texans will give him Tweets that are hashtagged #GetWellWade)
The word, "Manifesto" means "a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer." My point of view? I want Texans to maintain the home field advantage through the playoffs. Our home field already is an advantage. I believe we can make it even better, and I will explain how.
Texans fans are just now starting to understand their home field power:
Andre Johnson (on how excited he is to hear how loud the stadium is)
"Man, I can only imagine. I know it's going to be rocking. I can tell you that. It will all just be excitement from clinching a playoff spot and everything, but I'm pretty sure it'll be rocking on Sunday."
As you know, fans are supposed to show up early, stay until the end, be loud when the team is on defense and quiet when the team is on offense. The Atlanta game was a great example of showing up early. You could feel the energy in the stadium before kickoff.
Reliant Stadium has the potential to be the loudest stadium in the league. By far. Because of the retractable roof design, the stadium is very vertical and most of the seats, even at high levels are close to the field. The endzones are so close that pregame you can talk to players, and the players can easily hear you. The Texans in the past have said that the stadium noise is the same whether the roof is open or closed, though that doesn't make sense to me.
Though it's been loud in Reliant before this season, during the Atlanta game was loud throughout the entire game. It's been hard for fans to bring that energy all four quarters in the past because the defense struggled. Hard to yell loud when the defense can't get off the field.
Here's a video (actually near where I sit, I think) of how loud the stadium was at the final play against Atlanta:
[You can barely hear it, but after the game they are playing that awful Rock and Roll Part 2 song that should be banned from all stadiums for the reasons I discussed in the previous post. Please Texans music people, do not do that anymore. Millions of non-cliche, upbeat songs out there to choose from.]
Breaking down the video–How we can be louder on defense:
Okay. That is loud. It could be louder. Much louder. For example, in the video, you see one guy who is clapping and one guy who is swinging around a towel. Which guy is louder? Obviously the guy who is clapping.
You have three ways to be loud: 1. Yelling/loud whistling; 2. With your hands; 3. With you feet. If you are at the game, and the Texans are on defense, and you aren't doing at least two of these things, you aren't being loud enough. I mean, if Texans guard Mike Briesel can play 3 quarters of a game on a broken leg, the least we can do is do our best efforts in being loud.
Pick your favorite defensive player. They likely play with maximum effort. Do the same with your fandom loudness.
The NFL prohibits bringing noisemakers into the game. You can fashion your own noise makers from items found inside the stadium. For example, you can put pennies and dimes into water bottles and the metal beer bottles. The water bottles are nice because they have a cap. The beer bottles don't have a cap, but you can make sure the coins stay inside by 1. Stomping on the top of the bottle to seal it; 2. Stuffing napkins in the top; or 3. Plugging it up with your hand. The metal bottles be VERY loud, so be kind and do not rattle too close to your neighbor's ear. I also suggest not doing it too close to the ushers because they might confiscate. The bottles are a way to maximize noise with minimal effort.
Use the things around you to be loud. The people in the front row of the endzones can bang the padding. The people next to aisle can find things to bang into the rails. You can also bang on top of the seat in front of you with your hand. I wear western boots to games because they are thematic and comfortable. They also make a loud noise if you stomp 'em.
Being quiet on offense–This is harder, just as important.
The Texans have had the good fortune to have good things happen on offense more often than not. When that happens, people at the stadium obviously get very excited. The problem with that is that excited sometimes equals loud. It probably doesn't help that after each first down, the loud speaker guy says, "And that's another Texans…." and then the crowd responds, "first down!" That might be fun, but that is loud, and sometimes the offense has trouble hearing the next play.
One thing the Texans do to get the crowd to quiet down is to put on the Jumbotron the phrase, "QUIET, OFFENSE AT WORK." Well, that will work out just fine when facing the Panthers and Titans because there's not too many of those fans that visit Reliant. But once the playoffs start, especially if a team like the Steelers come to Reliant, there will be a lot more road fans than normal. When that happens, the all that the Jumbotron quiet message does is to get the visiting fans to get louder.
So Texans fans need to be quiet without the reminder. We need to practice that before the playoffs.
Part of home field advantage is for the offense to be able to function well without a lot of noise. As it is, they had a few more pre-snap penalties than usual during the Atlanta game with a combo of sometimes too much noise and a new cadence from TJ Yates.
So be quiet on offense. Get others to be quiet on offense. Please. Colts fans are good at this because they've had a lot of playoff practice. We need to start somewhere.
Do this for the fans who can't be at Reliant.
There are tons of fans who wish they could be at the game but can't–distance, finances, work, logistics, illness, whatever. I hear from a lot of Texans fans serving our country abroad. So yes, with your ticket, you can do what you want but if you are a true fan, you should do what is right. If you can't go, make sure your ticket gets into the hand of a good Texans fan. And if you are there, do everything you can to support the team for yourself, your team, and all the fans that can't be there but wish they could be.
If you are not at the game…
All over the country, groups of Texans fans are forming to watch games together. You are not alone though in the past, sometimes Texans fans could feel that way. A good place to find some of these watch parties is over at the TexansTalk.com forum in the Texan Tailgate section.
Here's an example of New York City Texans fans coming together. This is what I heard from @NYC_Texan (Rohith) earlier this year about his efforts to find Texans community:
I grew up in Sugar Land – went to Rice University and now work for a large strategy consulting company.
I moved to NY about 4 years ago and was going from bar to bar – usually going to the opposing team's local bar just to get the game with sound. Most apartment buildings in Manhattan have strict rules against satellite dishes so I could not get the Sunday ticket, plus it was fun to wear my Texans jersey and get cursed out by the opposing teams fans.
A year ago I did extensive searches of bars who were the "official" bar of the NFL teams. I noticed almost every team had a local establishment except the Texans. In fact, one bar said "are you kidding" when referring to the local bar for the Texans – quite irritating. (that site has now been shut down apparently)
We went from bar to bar last year calling the bars ahead of time and asking if they would show it with sound. Most of the time we compete against the Jets and Giants so its hard to get the game. One time we got overtaken by a random X games group.
So, I posted on the Texans message boards and posted on various social networking sites about wanting to find a bar with the NFL package to house us. I got an email from a fellow Texan (Marc Shapiro) who owned Idle Hands Bar (@IdleHandsBar) on Avenue B between 2nd and 3rd street who said they just started this bourbon bar and wanted to invite us to check them out. They have leather couches, all the scotch and bourbon you could want and significant beer/drink specials specifically for Texans. (margaritas, Lone Star beer etc).
We have a distribution list of about 20 people and usually we get about 10-12 people out. As the team continues to improve and create a following, I am sure we will grow.
If you are having watch parties in your community, I suggest leaving that info at TexansTalk.com. Or mention it in the comments here. At some point, I'd like to get a nationwide list of Texans-friendly watch spots.
My favorite part of the internet is its ability to build community. I was a huge Oilers fan back in the day, and I'd watch Oilers games with my friends. But I didn't have a ton of connection with other Oilers fans other than my friends. What has been interesting about the rise of the Texans in the internet age is how strangers have become friends through their shared love of a team that has struggled so much over the years. It's happened through tailgates, through message boards, through blogs, through Twitter and Facebook and the like.
One theme of this Texans season has been "Next Man Up." Who cares what the outside world thinks? (Rivers McCown's article called "Defying the Narrative" is perfect on this point). Our fanbase is the Next Fan Up, and we are going to help will this team to more wins.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The National Institutes of Health has given Mayo Clinic in Florida a five-year, $7 million extension of its Udall Center of Excellence in Parkinson's Disease Research grant.
NIH has continuously funded Mayo Clinic's Udall Center since 1999, shortly after President Bill Clinton signed the Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Disease Research Act into law.
There are only 10 Udall centers across the country investigating Parkinson's disease and other Parkinsonian disorders. In the United States, about 50,000 new cases of Parkinson's disease are diagnosed each year, adding to the 1 million people who currently have Parkinson's disease.
"The focus of Mayo's Udall Center is to understand genetic aspects of Parkinsonian disorders, and in this mission, we have made significant progress," says the center's director, neuropathologist Dennis Dickson, M.D. Dr. Dickson has led the center's brain banking efforts. The collection includes more than 1,000 brains, involving Parkinson's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy. DNA from these brains has been invaluable in discovering genes that cause or are risk factors for Parkinsonian disorders.
"The NIH's grant extension recognizes Mayo's productivity, our unique resources, and the promise for further contributions," Dr. Dickson says.
The center brings together the disciplines of neurology, neurogenetics and neuropathology to discover new genetic causes of Parkinsonism, with the hope that these then lead to new disease models and eventual new treatments for Parkinsonism. Together, Mayo physicians and researchers have discovered a number of genes that cause Parkinsonian disorders, says neurologist Zbigniew Wszolek, M.D., an integral member of the research team.
For example, Mayo researchers:
- Found the gene leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) to be the most common genetic cause of late-onset, autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease;
- Contributed to the discovery of mutations in the ±-synuclein gene (SNCA) that cause early-onset Parkinson's and identified genetic variants that are risk factors for the more common late-onset disease;
- Dentified variants in a gene (EIF4G1) that is associated with Lewy body dementia; discovered mutations in a gene (DCTN1) that produces a very severe form of Parkinsonism associated with breathing difficulties and severe depression.
To date, researchers working at Mayo's Udall Center have identified 10 genes linked to Parkinson's disease or related neurodegenerative disorders, including frontotemporal dementia.
The Mayo Clinic Udall Center is known for its collaborative efforts to find and study families around the world who have different forms of early-onset, familial Parkinson's, the kind of Parkinson's significantly influenced by a mutated gene. Through Dr. Wszolek's work, the center has access to more than 850 families where more than one family member was affected by Parkinsonism.
"These studies offer clues to the most common kind of Parkinson's that occurs in the aged, which is believed to be caused by a mélange of genetic and environmental factors," Dr. Wszolek says. "The discovery of each gene opens the path to understanding the origins of the disease and for finding curative therapies."
Dr. Wszolek says progress in decoding Parkinson's genetic roots is accelerating. Until recently, every discovery was hard-won — researchers needed blood from several dozen affected members of a single family, and blood from hundreds of extended family members who were not affected by Parkinson's.
"Now we can do whole-genome screens using blood from three members of a family who have Parkinson's disease, and from two or three unaffected family members," he says.
Mayo's Udall Center collaborates with researchers in almost 30 countries and at 55 institutions, as well as with investigators at the other Mayo Clinic campuses in Rochester, Minn., and Scottsdale, Ariz.

Diet Wise, Pound Foolish: Promoted Diets for HIV
Research on drug therapies is traditionally given a higher priority than research into nutrition due to profit potentials. Put simply, protease inhibitors generate significantly more profits than bananas. Since there are so many variations among individuals living with HIV, studies looking at micronutrients have produced inconsistent results. Unlike studies examining the role of vitamins and minerals in HIV, little research is available on specific diets appropriate for this population.
Fad diets and quackery develop from research uncertainties and the vulnerability of individuals searching for simple solutions to health concerns (with weight loss often being the desired outcome). The United States Department of Agriculture's preliminary research on popular weight loss diets finds that most of them do result in weight loss. The micro- and macronutrient composition is not as crucial as the caloric composition of diets. Typically, the diets provide 1,400 to 1,500 calories per day. But many diets are short-lived and don't teach people how to change their eating habits or prepare them to eat well-balanced meals. Once the interest in adhering to the diet wanes, former food habits are resumed and the weight is regained. This is called the "yo-yo effect," on the principle that what goes up must go down (visa versa in this case).
With concern about immunity and the potential of certain foods to provide energy and strength, diets advertising these sought-after results have gained popularity in mainstream media. Individuals can be bombarded with alarming advice. Here are two extreme examples:
In 1995, Michael Kent Bilbrey was arrested in Chandler, Arizona for selling a quack potion as a cure of AIDS. He was charged with theft and ordered to pay a restitution of $39,300 after his "potion" was found to have no scientific justification since it consisted of nothing more than cranberry juice, saline solution and household bleach.
In 1993, Herbert Saunders, a farmer in Minnesota, convinced numerous customers to buy a cow for $2,500 and pay up to $35 a bottle for its milk, claiming it as a cure for AIDS and other diseases. He reportedly injected a patient's blood sample into the cow's udder to theoretically produce antibodies for the disease. Saunders has not been arrested and still defends his actions.
A nutritionally balanced high-protein, low-fat diet that includes a variety of foods is often promoted for maintaining optimal nutrition status. The goal of the general diet recommendation is to ensure adequate intake of all nutrients, to maintain weight and muscle mass and reduce the risk of malnutrition.
High-Protein, Low-Carbohydrate Diet
HIV-positive individuals are encouraged to generally eat as much protein and as many different kinds of food as they can without regard for exact diet composition. As a result, some people choose to follow a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet often promoted. Many people experience sudden weight loss on these low-calorie diets due to water loss, with the false impression that fat loss has occurred. In addition to sudden weight loss not being ideal since it leads to dehydration and the loss of muscle protein, this type of diet provides inadequate amounts of vitamins A, B and E, certain minerals, and dietary fiber. This diet may also have other negative results including a higher saturated fat intake (from animal protein sources), a higher demand on the liver and kidneys in breaking down protein to its digestive form (amino acids), the formation of kidney stones, and an increased risk for osteoporosis (a disease where your bones become very brittle and fracture easily).
Vegetarian Diets
Plant-based, vegetarian diets are rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and are low in saturated fat and cholesterol. People on vegetarian diets generally have reduced incidences of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and gastrointestinal abnormalities. Protective components of the foods vegetarians consume include fiber, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. Although considered healthier than a typical Western diet and therapeutic for people with various chronic diseases, this diet may pose a challenge for people living with HIV who have increased nutritional needs. A vegetarian diet can be too low in calories and protein essential for maintaining weight and lean muscle mass long-term. Therefore, an HIV-positive individual may need additional protein, calorie and vitamin B12 supplementation (since vitamin B12 is found primarily in animal foods).
Macrobiotic Diets
Macrobiotics, from the Greek ("macro" meaning "large" or "long", and "bios" meaning "life"), is a way of eating and living that incorporates only whole foods and foods processed by traditional methods. Today, our interpretation of macrobiotic lifestyle is based on the teachings of the modern father of macrobiotics George Ohsawa and his student Michio Kushi. Based on the belief that we're continually influenced by environmental factors including food, climate, geographic location, activity and physiology, this approach views illness as the body's effort to return to harmony with the natural environment. Consuming a wholesome diet is the direct path to reestablishing this balance.
People are encouraged to foster a further connection to the environment by eating regionally grown foods appropriate for the climate. For example, most residents of the United States live where whole grains, beans, seeds, vegetables and some fruits are grown naturally. In this area, dairy products, red meat and poultry are generally not recommended. As foods are to be eaten as close to their natural form as possible, highly processed foods with additives are to be avoided. Further, traditional preparation and cooking methods, such as steaming or lightly sautéing, which preserve nutrients and enhance flavor, are suggested.
Macrobiotics is guided by the principles of yin and yang -- the interrelationship between opposites. Foods are either yin, creating expansion, or yang, causing contraction. Further, foods are categorized into two groups: acid-forming or alkaline-forming. The bulk of energy, 50-60%, comes from whole grains (complex carbohydrates), followed by 20-30% from vegetables, 5-10% from soups, and 5-10% from beans and sea vegetables. A small percentage of the diet consists of condiments, beverages, fish, desserts and supplementary foods. This breaks down to 12% protein, 15% fat, 73% complex carbohydrate, and 0% refined sugar. Although this diet is primarily vegetarian, small amounts of white meat fish and some shellfish can be included. The macrobiotic diet favors sources of protein low in saturated fat and cholesterol such as traditionally processed tofu, tempeh and seitan (wheat gluten).
According to Kushi, the gradual breakdown of natural immunity occurring through poor diet and other health habits is responsible for increased susceptibility to harmful viruses and bacteria. The modern diet, consisting of mostly acid-forming and yin foods, leads to imbalance and weakening of health and immunity.
Immune support through adherence to the macrobiotic lifestyle has been promoted as a treatment for HIV by some holistic healers, but little research has been conducted by the Western medical community to evaluate its efficacy. In the mid-1980's, a small group of nine men in New York City with AIDS following a macrobiotic regimen within one to twelve months of diagnosis were monitored for several years by E.M. Levy and colleagues from the Boston University School of Medicine. Through blood samples, clinical observations and participant questionnaires, the researchers found an increase in CD4 numbers. Additionally, participants reported less fatigue, a sense of well-being and a better quality of life. The researchers noted that this psychological component of the intervention might influence disease progression.
Yeast-Free Diets
The reduction of the yeast, candida albicans, is the primary focus of this diet and has been promoted to people with HIV suffering from thrush (candidiasis). To reduce the growth of yeast infections, the diet calls for the avoidance of yeast, sugar, fruits, grains, nuts, milk, wheat, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. No controlled clinical trials have been conducted to substantiate the diet's validity for treating candidiasis, yet some individuals claim that it has been beneficial.
Asking Questions About Research
To assist in making informed decisions when interpreting diet information, here are a few questions to ask yourself:
Does it sound too good to be true or make claims of being superior to conventional diets?
Does it promise a "quick-fix" or require that certain foods be avoided or eaten at specific times of the day?
Has the diet been in existence for a substantial amount of time?
Have any harmful side effects or dangers been reported in individuals following the diet?
What type of study was used to justify claims? Was it a controlled study? Was the study conducted in humans or animals?
How large was the study population and how long did it last?
Was the study ever repeated to confirm the findings?
Were the results published in a peer-reviewed journal, and did they provide details about the study design and disclose limitations of the study?
Making the Right Choices
The beginning of any meaningful diet change is self-assessment. Working with a registered dietitian, you can assess your current diet by completing a food record or food frequency questionnaire. These are useful tools to examine the adequacy of eating patterns and for identifying specific areas needing improvement. The goal of health promotion through improved dietary habits, rather than adherence to a strict eating plan, will lead to overall improvements in health.

Jason Aldean Teases Big Announcement With More Puzzling Clues
Jason Aldean has a big announcement to deliver on Thursday (Jan. 9), and instead of simply revealing his major surprise, he's dropping clues left and right!
The singer is certainly teasing fans with his game -- they're not easy to unravel. Each clue has come in the form of a photo, with the cryptic unveiling beginning on Jan. 3.
The first clue was a red matchbox, slightly opened to reveal the matchsticks, and then a pirate flag. The third clue shows raging fire, which was followed by Screech from 'Saved by the Bell' and a photo of a bonfire on the beach at night.
Fans' guesses are all over the place, ranging from a collaboration with Keith Urban to a tour with Kenny Chesney, and even marriage speculations. We do know that Aldean is gearing up for an upcoming album, so that possibility is also on the horizon.
Whatever Aldean's announcement may be, it's got the genre buzzing!

By Jeff Caplan, NBA.com
VIDEO: Go inside the huddle with Brian Shaw
DALLAS — Thirteen first-time NBA coaches will head into summer with experiences each will never forget, from Brett Brown coping with a bare-bones 76ers squad to Jason Kidd unlocking a star-laden Nets team whose luxury tax payment alone will nearly double the Sixers' payroll.
Then there's Brian Shaw. The Denver Nuggets coach, a disciple of Phil Jackson, took over a 57-win team coached by a sure-fire Hall-of-Famer, an 1,100-game-winner and one of the league's all-time great innovators. George Karl might have led the Nuggets out of the first round just once in nine seasons, but he won a lot with a fun, energetic style.
Shaw inherited a team that lost its two premiere wing runners, Andre Iguodala, also a defensive stopper, and Corey Brewer. It wasn't long into the season before Shaw lost veteran backup point guard Andre Miller to a power struggle and banished him from the team.
Then there were the injuries: Dino Gallinari never returned from last season's ACL tear, JaVale McGee lasted five games, then Nate Robinson, J.J. Hickson and trade newcomer Jan Vesely. Point guard, leading scorer and top assist man Ty Lawson has missed 14 games; 12 each for second-leading scorer Wilson Chandler and reserve forward Darrell Arthur.
"A lot of people talk about the first-year head coach stuff and he [Shaw] hasn't shown any of that at all," Nuggets top assistant Lester Conner said. "He's set the foundation. It's been an injury-riddled season for us and the way he's handled it, it's like one of the best coaches in the league, and he is. He doesn't have the tenure like some of them have, but if you look at our game and how we play and look at how we compete, if you were blindfolded, you wouldn't think that there was a fisrt-year head coach. He's been in a lot of wars as far as championships with Phil, so he knows what it's like. He's handled the media well, he's handled the Andre Miller situation well. He's done a great job."
However so, the Nuggets are on pace to not make the playoffs for the first time since 2003. Yet it seems things could be a whole lot worse than Denver's 32-39 record attained through stretches of feast or famine and seemingly always banged-up bodies.
"One of the things one of my mentor's, Phil Jackson, always preached to me was believing in your system and what you're doing out there," said Shaw, who communicates with Jackson once every week or two throughout the season. "I've been fortunate enough to have been in great situations with great teams that have had the ultimate success at the end of the season, and so I believe that I know what it looks like, I know what it takes, what kind of work ethic goes into it and what kind of habits need to be developed by our players."
Lawson, the fifth-year point guard seemingly on the precipice of making an All-Star team, and under contract through 2017, said he stands behind Shaw "100 percent," and went so far as to make a bold prediction for a healthy — knock-on-wood — 2014-15 campaign: "I think we will definitely be good, maybe top four in the West next year.
"I look at [our] record and think about all the injuries we went through, especially [Chandler], me, Nate, everybody went down," Lawson continued. "We had a lot of different parts."
Shaw, 48, spent 10 years with the Lakers and then Pacers working toward this opportunity. He came in with no misgivings of the challenge and made no promises. He did have a vision, and a plan to transform Karl's freewheeling Nuggets into a team that could execute in the halfcourt through inside play without fully stifling the run-and-gun style.
But Shaw his concept initially led to confusion. Frontcourt players interpreted it to mean they'd receive an entry pass every time down the floor and would be allowed to go to work. That frustrated Lawson, whose game is predicated on his speed and ability to drive to the rim.
"Ty was frustrated early on until we really were able to clarify what that meant, that inside play could be a small guy posting up, or if it was just penetration and getting into the paint," Shaw said. "So now I think what you see is Ty flourishing (18.1 ppg, 8.9 apg), Kenneth [Faried] (12.6 ppg, 8.0 rpg) is really starting to come into his own; they've had their best numbers since they've been in the league. [Timofey] Mozgoz has had a chance to play and is developing, so I think they can see the light at the end of the tunnel."
Ten players are under contract for next season. Gallinari is expected to return and McGee will make another run at ditching his "Shaqtin' A Fool" persona and becoming a legitimate NBA starting center.
As his first campaign draws to a close, Shaw is coaching the players still standing with an eye toward next season.
"Everybody now has an understanding of exactly what I expect of them, how we want to play and what we want to do going forward," Shaw said. "Obviously there are some guys that are on the roster right now that are going to be here next year and some that aren't, but for me, I've said that this is going to be a year of discovery to really understand what it is that we have to work with."

Saturday was our first day as a vendor at the Gilbert Farmer's Market. We had loads of fun talking to people about healthy eating and selling three of our fabulous creations. High protein energy bars in two flavors - Cranberry Almond and Wild Blueberry Pecan - were a big hit. We created quite the stir with our KICKS smoothie power packs. And, the seasoned whole wheat lavosh crackers (SNAPS) made us start thinking about new ways to enjoy these crispy futons for your food.
OK - something fresh tasting with a bit of a zing and a lot of flavor. Hmmm......let's start with edamame for a protein filled lunch. After a bit of experimenting, we found the perfect combination of flavors for an edamame salad that goes great with the light crunch of our Toasted Onion Snaps.
Sharing the recipe with you just seemed like a great idea. After all, it's our mission to make the world a healthier place for you and your family.
Edamame Salad
1 bag frozen edamame (shelled)
2 tblsp. Wildwood Zesty Garlic Aioli*
1 tblsp. capers
1 tblsp. caper juice
1/8 tsp. tarragon
1/8 tsp. chives
pinch of dill weed
pinch of basil
pinch of chervil
pinch of cracked pepper
Boil edamame according to package directions and drain. When cool, mash until no whole beans remain.** Add all remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add more aioli or spices to taste. Stuff heirloom tomatoes or enjoy on your favorite crackers.
*If you can't find Wildwood Zesty Garlic Aioli, substitute Veganaise and add a bit of garlic powder to the spices.
** We use a pastry dough blender to crush the edamame. Fast and easy to clean.
Feel free to modify this recipe to suit your taste buds. We like LOTS of capers and caper liquid. Modify the spice blend and you'll have so many variations, you'll never get bored

"An absolutely wonderful story. Dawn Clifton Tripp has created a place that is as memorable to me as Charles Frazier's Smoky Mountains or Norman Maclean's Montana, and filled it with characters as lifelike as any I've encountered in contemporary American fiction."
–Howard Frank Mosher, author of Disappearances and Where the Rivers Flow North
"Tripp writes vivid, precise, intense prose that opens a window on a particular place and time, a family and love story, with complex views that promise to delight and move us. In The Season of Open Water she delivers on that promise, and keeps surprising us with more."
–Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek and Brave Enemies
"The story of a woman caught between the brother who completes her and the man she loves, The Season of Open Water is a stunning, taut, richly textured novel. Tripp possesses a genius for the telling detail, and her characters are so intimately drawn that we can almost see their breath rise up off the page."

SOCORRO, N.M., May 23, 2003 -- Barring any last-minute hitches in ongoing purchase negotiations, "88009" might soon become one of the most important ZIP codes for the nation's homeland security programs, especially if plans pan out to convert the town of Playas, N.M. into a "real-world" training facility for New Mexico Tech's first-responders and anti-terrorism programs.
The imminent purchase of the Phelps Dodge company town by New Mexico Tech, with funds provided through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, was announced yesterday by Senator Pete Domenici, a member of the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee.
Negotiations between the copper mining giant and New Mexico Tech are moving forward, and plans also are already underway to begin using Playas as a venue for homeland security training, Domenici said.
"I commend New Mexico Tech for being aggressive and forward- thinking in working out a plan for using Playas and all its attributes to advance homeland security," Domenici said.
Playas, which is located in the remote "bootheel" area of southwestern New Mexico, was once a thriving small town with a population of about 1,000 residents, most of whom worked at a nearby copper smelter.
The Phelps Dodge Corporation put the 640-acre company town and its surrounding 1,200 acres up for sale earlier this year with a price tag of $3.2 million, after having shut down its copper-smelting operation in 1999.
The township itself includes 259 homes, six apartment buildings, community and fitness centers, a bowling alley, a medical clinic, a bank, and a U. S. post office, with its own ZIP code of 88009.
"We're delighted that, from among the various offers on the table, Phelps Dodge has chosen to actively pursue negotiations with New Mexico Tech to reach formal agreement toward purchasing the town of Playas," said New Mexico Tech President Daniel H. López.
"Once the purchase is finalized, New Mexico Tech will then look forward to initiating a whole range of research activities and training programs in and around Playas that will directly support homeland security efforts, not only at the state and national levels, but on a global basis as well," López added.
The state-supported research university in Socorro is already an acknowledged leader in research and training programs associated with the nation's fight against terrorism, the New Mexico Tech President pointed out.
"Now, with the possible addition of an entire town to support Tech's anti-terrorism training and research programs, Playas, N.M. also promises to become a well-known venue forborder guards, police, firefighters, and other emergency responders involved in homeland security training," López said.
"The Playas facility will expand New Mexico Tech's capabilities to do both fundamental and applied research in support of homeland security," said Van Romero, vice president for research and economic development at New Mexico Tech.
"In addition, we've already received a number of inquiries from both public and private sectors in regards to possibly working collaboratively with New Mexico Tech on various research programs and other partnerships that would be conducted in Playas," Romero said.
