Coker defeated Mount Olive 4-0, off of two Carlos Recinos (Houston, Texas) goals, extending their winning streak to eight in a row in their Conference Carolinas men's soccer match on Tuesday night.
Recinos scored twice for Coker and added an assist of his own. His first goal came from a blast inside the 18 yard box (A: R. Fondin, 19:39). His second came on an airborne one-timer (A: R. Fondin, 32:45). It wasn't until half way through the second half that the Cobras would strike again, this time off the foot of junior Eric Stiefield (Eustis, Fla.). Stiefield put together a long run up the left side and uncorked a shot that eluded freshman keeper Kyle Lavender (Cary, N.C.) (A: C. Recinos, 73:12). Junior Niko Tirkkonen (Hollola, Finland) finished the scoring for Coker with a breakaway goal (A: M. Taylor, 85:55) to finish out the match.
Junior keeper James Sweeney (Huntingtown, Md.) made six saves for the Cobras and earned his second clean sheet of the season.
Mount Olive freshman keeper Kyle Lavender made ten saves, including seven in the second half. Mount Olive took seven total shots and managed to put six of the seven on net.
Mount Olive's record falls to 4-7, 3-2 in conference play. Coker is now 9-1, 6-0 in Conference Carolinas matches.
Coker's next game will be at UNC-Pembroke on Friday night at 7 p.m.

I don't drop in as much as I once did... which wasn't much. But I wanted to plug my current project which I just got to what I'm calling my final public beta. It's called ASCIIpOrtal. It's Portal, in ASCII. I'm using the PDCurses library and hope to integrate sound with SDL, tho I've never done that so hopefully it'll work. If anyone has any experience with this, let me know.
Meanwhile, you can get more information here as well as downloading the source and windows binaries:

Chocolate Madeleine Recipes
Double Chocolate Madeleine Tea Cakes with Mango Cream Cheese Frosting
The girls had a bake sale at school and needed some help preparing their contribution. Instead of buying cupcakes at the supermarket, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to teach them some valuable life skills. And by life skills, I don't just mean cooking; madeleines are so good that being able to make them qualifies as a life skill.
We decided to make a chocolate madeleine batter and add some mini chocolate chips. To balance with the chocolaty flavor, we topped the miniature sweets with a mango cream cheese frosting.
We ended up making a 150 of them for the bake sale but I think only about 100 of them actually made it to the bake sale! You can of course cut the recipe in half if you want to make fewer.
These are the mango cream cheese versions, the one in the middle are the cherry cream cheese ones.

As the shadows from the Graeme Hick pavilion stretched their fingers towards the crumbled butter-brown edges of the New Road pitch, Surrey made an impeccable start to the run-chase that would, if successful, win them the game and the Championship. Mark Stoneman and Rory Burns batted with abandon, hitting 12 fours between them, and quickly reduced their target to 202 at stumps with all 10 wickets in hand.
Worcestershire had held the upper hand until tea, building up a stately lead, until a startling, near unplayable, spell of five wickets for five runs in 38 balls from Morne Morkel, including Tom Fell, who had batted stoically for 89. Worcestershire then lost their last six wickets for 22. Morkel has 50 Championship wickets at an average of just over 13. To the despair of the chasing pack, he also has two years left on his contract.
Surrey need only to draw today to win their first Championship since 2002, but they want the win to make it nine victories in a row. If Worcestershire lose, they do still have a mathematical chance of avoiding the drop to Division Two.
At Headingley, Lancashire too were staring at relegation as Yorkshire closed in. After Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Gary Ballance and some middle-order gardening had given Yorkshire some bowling ballast, Lancashire found themselves 109 for seven at stumps, still needing 121 runs for victory. Ben Coad took four for 14 to demolish hearts and minds.
Essex made a storming start to their run-chase at Trent Bridge, with Murali Vijay and Tom Westley putting on an unbeaten 130 for the second wicket. They need another 135 runs to beat Nottinghamshire after closing on 147 for one.
There were three results in Division Two: Kent beat Middlesex by three wickets before lunch at Lord's, Sam Billings leading the charge. The defeat ends Middlesex's chances of promotion and gives Kent a lead of 21 points over Sussex, who lost at Chester-le-Street. It was a plucky performance by Durham, who discovered some fortitude with the bat in the second innings thanks to Cameron Steel, who made 160. Chasing 321, Sussex were bowled out for 135, with four wickets for Chris Rushworth to give him 12 in the match. Sussex now need to beat the leaders, Warwickshire, in the next round to have a chance of going up.
At Grace Road Warwickshire won by an innings and 104 runs to increase their chances of bouncing straight back to Division One. After declaring on 400 for nine, they bowled Leicestershire out for 196. Keith Barker took five for 40, Jeetan Patel four for 67.
At Sophia Gardens, a vigorous and improbable wag from the Glamorgan tail meant Gloucestershire will at least have to bat again, Timm van der Gugten was unbeaten on 58. There were four wickets apiece for Craig Miles and Matt Taylor. There were three wickets each for Ravi Rampaul and Hardus Viljoen as Northamptonshire built up a lead of 221 over Derbyshire at Wantage Road.
There was some good news for Somerset after their early capitulation at the Ageas Bowl. They have escaped a points deduction for the Taunton pitch used against Lancashire, which ended in a tie and where 25 of the 40 wickets fell to spinners. The ECB ruled that the pitch was "below average" but not deliberately so. The club did, however, receive a warning that they were treading "a very fine line" in "making use of home advantage". Any further deviations will be punished.
Close of play scores

Nottinghamshire 177 & 337; Essex 233 & 147/1 (target 282)

It's pretty dark now, and totally empty, here at New Road, where Surrey look like gunning for the title tomorrow. Let's be honest, they've earned it. Currans, Burns, Foakes, Pope,Clarke, Virdi. Oh and Morkel, and more. Worcestershire have a chance - but they'll have to do it early, before Burns and Stoneman get away.
Elsewhere, it's looking grim for Lancashire, good for Essex, in the balance at Wantage Road. And ridiculous at Sophia Gardens! Have a lovely night everybody.
A message from Chris Mason in Carpentras (you lucky thing)
"Reading your posts it seems you don't want Worcestershire to win?
Why? The cost of the train ticket?"
Chris, I'd love Worcester to win -it would make a wonderful story. But after doing all the hard work, they've rather lost it this afternoon. Though Morkel was brilliant. And Surrey now look too strong. But maybe it will be different in the morning...
Surrey looking magisterial here in pursuit of another 241 - seven fours in their 35....
Van der Gugten and Bull bat on at Sophia Gardens, a partnership of 41 now. Twenty-six needed to make Gloucestershire bat again.
Meanwhile Lancashire are, if not exactly down and out, perhaps making heavy work of chasing the 143 they still need to win. Now 87 for 6. Vilas gone for 10, Lamb for a two-ball duck. Ben Coad 3-8
In theory 20 overs left at New Road, though the light has faded soon after 6 on the previous few days. At Headingley, Lancashire have lost a fourth. Livingstone a second wicket for Brooks. Lancashire 86/4
And Morne Morkel is clapped off the pitch, running up the Graeme Hick Pavilion steps with a sun hat in his hand and with figures of 5-24. Worcestershire all out 203 which means Surrey are chasing 272. A win or a draw gives them the title.
Worcestershire pass 200, but lose another wicket. Tongue, well caught by Dean Elgar at first slip for 6.
I didn't jinx that because as I pressed the button, the scoreboard refreshed in front of my eyes.
Timm van der Gugten and Kieran Bull steadfast in a lost cause at Sophia Gardens, a partnership of 26 to inch Glamorgan towards making Gloucestershire bat again. And at Headingley Croft and Livingstone slowly sweep up the runs, dustpan by dustpan. At 66/2 -they need another 164.
Morkel is pretty terrifying here. Terrifying and unplayable. The light is slowly fading. And it is getting chilly in the press overfill outside area, the Telegraph man is wearing a scarf.
Durham have duly won, by 186 runs at Chester-le-Street. Not bad from that unpromising position on the first day - 12 wicket for Chris Rushworth in the match. Sussex have stumbled in the promotion battle, now 21 points behind second-placed Kent.
And Morkel has 5-23. It almost seems impossible that Worcestershire have got into the position of having a lead of 268. But there you are.
Barnard lbw Morkel for 12. Ah, here we have Joe Clarke at last. A bit of a collapse here by Worcester, as the last of the sun reaches the top of the cathedral tower. Morkel has four in six overs. The lead is 255.
Double strike: a ball after trying to slog him out of the ground, Ross Whitely is bowled by Morne Morkel for 10. Worcestershire 181/5 - a lead of 249
And at Headingley, Karl Brown is lbw to Bresnan for 11. Lancashire 31/2 need another 199 to win.
It's tea at Chester-le-Street, where Sussex are showing admirable optimism, 200 to win, two wickets left.
A result at Grace Road, Warwickshire beat Leicestershire by an innings and 104 runs. Barker 5-40, Patel 4-67.
And Sussex! What happened?110 for 8 off 22 overs, still chasing a magical 212 more to win - four for Rushworth and a run-out.
Another wicket! A mini standing ovation for Tom Fell who mistakenly pushed forward on 89 to Morne Morkel and was bowled off stump. And that's tea here.
Glamorgan also on the burning deck, 90 behind with only three second-innings wickets remaining, a gallant 5o from David Lloyd.
Earlier Kent won by six wickets at Lord's - Sam Billings seeing them home. It's even-stevens at The County Ground - with Northants 41/1 in their second innings, Ben Curran out for 11.
Leicester in the stink at Grace Road, 104 behind with only one wicket left.
And in the final Division one game- Notts have built a pretty good lead over Essex - 275 and counting with one, two, three, four, five, six! for Simon Harmer.
And that's a WICKET here at Worcester - Milton c Pope b Morkel, Worcs 154/3.
Ah, tension at Headingley I see. Yorkshire all out with a lead of 229, four for Tom Bailey and three for Keshav Maharaj. Can the Lancashire batting repeat the miracle of Southport - hmmm.
Hello from New Road, where Surrey will not, after all, be lifting the title today, and may not even be lifting the title tomorrow, with Worcestershire on top - a lead of 210 and eight wickets remaining. A draw will do though, and it would be a gorgeous place to do it, the wizened willow leaning into the river, the gothic cathedral, the murmuring crowd (let's ignore the Premier Inn for now). Tom Fell is currently 77 not out, to complement his fifty in the first innings.
Let's go around the counties...
Durham collapsed to 340 all out at Chester-le-Street having been 332-6 at lunch. Sussex needed 322 to put their promotion bid back on course but have had an equally torrid time with the bat and were soon reduced to 17-3.
Lunch scores round-up
Division One
- Yorkshire 209 & 219-6 v Lancashire 252
- Worcestershire 336 & 38-0 v Surrey 268
- Nottinghamshire 177 & 208-4 v Essex 233
Division Two
- Durham 103 & 332-6 v Sussex 122
- Glamorgan 137 & 6-3 v Gloucestershire 353
- Leicestershire 100 & 69-4 v Warwickshire 400-9 dec
- Northamptonshire 255 v Derbyshire 189-8
Kent have wrapped up the game at Lord's and beaten Middlesex by three wickets to take them to the top of Division Two for now. The 19 points collected by Kent takes them to 195 overall and means Middlesex cannot now go up – the promotion race attention now turns to the Riverside where Sussex are playing Durham.
Surrey all out for 268
Ben Foakes did not last long at New Road before an edge off the bowling of Dillon Pennington sent him back to the dressing room for 13. That precipitated an even swifter collapse with Surrey ending on 268 all out, trailing Worcestershire by 68 runs after the first innings. They earned one more batting point and now need three more to wrap up the title.
James Anderson has been made available for Vitality Blast Finals Day this weekend, the England and Wales Cricket Board has announced. Anderson, who on Tuesday broke Glenn McGrath's record Test wicket haul for a fast bowler, is available for selection along with Lancashire team-mates Jos Buttler and Keaton Jennings, who has also been freed up to play in the final County Championship fixture against Hampshire. Worcestershire all-rounder Moeen Ali is available for Finals Day and his county's last four-day match against Yorkshire, while Surrey will be able to call upon Sam Curran and Ollie Pope for their final two fixtures. England Test captain Joe Root, Alastair Cook and Ben Stokes are among the players unavailable for the end of the county season. Eoin Morgan's England fly out for their one-day international series in Sri Lanka on September 30. PA
Wicket at New Road. Morne Morkel is out for 16, leaving Surrey on 232-7. The good news for them is that Ben Foakes has got off his sick bed and is in action.
Good morning from an autumnal Lord's, where the season is moving towards an end. Somerset's implosion yesterday hands the title to Surrey – the only question is when.
The match here is likely to be resolved by lunch – with Kent needing 52, six wickets in hand. The force is with them, just. Lots of excitement round the other grounds too – Warwickshire are on top at Grace Road, Gloucestershire at Sophia Gardens – GOOD LUCK Jack Taylor - and the white Rose at Headingley.
It's too close to call at Trent Bridge, the County Ground and Chester-le-street (where Chris Rush has been awarded his testimonial).
But the big question is whether Worcestershire can make Surrey hold on for the title? Surrey can clinch it today by securing maximum batting points (scoring 400 in the first 110 overs). Rory Burns is still there on 103 not out - how fitting it would be if he took them over the line! They are six wickets down but Ben Foakes, who was ill yesterday, is yet to bat. I'm jumping on the train to Worcester now, in case they manage it. In the meantime, the office will update the blog. Be kind!

Since Brumby didn't fall for my attempts to galvanise him into action on this front, I guess I'll do it.
As there's so many mismatches involved in the group, I think merely picking winners is too simple so I'm going to introduce the margin of victory in.
For getting a correct prediction you get an automatic 5 points, with up to 10 more points available for margin, on a sliding scale (so if you're spot on you get 10 points, but if you're 3 points out you get 7 points etc.)
For example for NZ vs Tonga if I predict NZ to win by 45 points and they win by 47 points, I get 5 for the prediction and 8 for the margin.
If you predict a margin of less than 10 points, then you can actually score points even if you get the predition wrong. For example if you predict say England to beat Argentina by 6 points and Argentina win by 3 points, you get 1.
Deadline for each pick is when the game kicks off, but will be putting the fixtures up in blocks of 8 games (a new thread for each block)
So the first games are (all times are NZ times):
Code:Fri Sept 9 20.30 A New Zealand v Tonga Sat Sept 10 13.00 B Scotland v Romania Sat Sept 10 15.30 D Fiji v Namibia Sat Sept 10 18.00 A France v Japan Sat Sept 10 20.30 B Argentina v England Sun Sept 11 15.30 C Australia v Italy Sun Sept 11 18.00 C Ireland v USA Sun Sept 11 20.30 D South Africa v Wales

Distinctive Dream Escapes
Cruise Holidays of West Vancouver
(604) 921 3393
The cost of your next cruise includes everything you need for a wonderful vacation at sea: a comfortable stateroom, delicious food, engaging entertainment and lots of onboard amenities, from pools and hot tubs to kids' clubs and nightclubs.
In addition, many ships have additional features and amenities available on a pay-as-you-go basis. Cruise lines charge separately for these "extras," giving passengers the option of whether or not to indulge in them.
Traditionally, extras have included soda and liquor, ship-to-shore phone calls, spa treatments, shore excursions and casino charges. More recently, cruise ships have added features such as Internet centers, espresso bars, alternative restaurants and specialized exercise classes available at nominal fees.
If these extras are important to you, you'll want to include them in your vacation budget. Your personal cruise expert can help you estimate how much you can plan to spend onboard. He or she also knows which cruise lines are offering shipboard credits – essentially, money you can use to pay for extras – as an incentive for early booking.
Your personal cruise expert can also help you explore another option: booking a cruise that includes extras in the base cruise fare. Many luxury ocean-going and river cruise lines include amenities such as beverages and alternative dining in their fares, providing greater value for their higher prices. Some cruise lines even include shore excursions in their base fares.
To explore the options for enjoying luxurious "extras" on your next cruise vacation, talk with an expert at Cruise Holidays.

Subscribe To Looper, Lincoln And More Score Writers Guild Screenplay Nominations Updates
I've already subscribed
With tricky rules about eligibility and three different categories, the Writers Guild of America always manages to honor more screenplays than the Oscars or the Golden Globes-- which usually makes for an interesting batch of nominees. Today they announced their picks for the 2012 films, and with expected Oscar contenders like Lincoln, Life of Pi, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty in the mix, they also made room for some surprises, like Stephen Chbosky's adaptation of his own book The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Rian Johnson's original Looper, and John Gatins' work for Flight.
Making room for some of those films were some heavy awards hitters rendered ineligible by WGA rules, like Beasts of the Southern Wild, Amour and Django Unchained (see here for the full list of those ineligible). But even though an Oscar nomination may not happen for all of these choices, they very much have a shot, and recognition from one's peers-- especially for screenwriters, who often toil for years with no result whatsoever-- has to be an honor no matter what.
Below you can see the full list of nominees for the WGA awards. Winners will be announced during the simultaneous ceremonies in New York and Los Angeles on February 17.
"Flight," Written by John Gatins; Paramount Pictures
"Looper," Written by Rian Johnson; TriStar Pictures
"The Master," Written by Paul Thomas Anderson; The Weinstein Company
"Moonrise Kingdom," Written by Wes Anderson & Roman Coppola; Focus Features
"Zero Dark Thirty," Written by Mark Boal; Columbia Pictures
"Argo," Screenplay by Chris Terrio; Based on a selection from The Master of Disguise by Antonio J. Mendez and the Wired Magazine article "The Great Escape" by Joshuah Bearman; Warner Bros. Pictures
"Life of Pi," Screenplay by David Magee; Based on the novel by Yann Martel; 20th Century Fox
"Lincoln," Screenplay by Tony Kushner; Based in part on the book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin; DreamWorks Pictures
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower," Screenplay by Stephen Chbosky; Based on his book; Summit Entertainment
"Silver Linings Playbook," Screenplay by David O. Russell; Based on the novel by Matthew Quick; The Weinstein Company

Honda's chief executive acknowledged that the 2012 Civic has fallen flat with critics--accepting personal accountability--and said the company is considering ways to upgrade the car in light of stiffer competition.
The Civic was revealed at the New York auto show in April and launched soon after. Though it remains fuel efficient and popular with many consumers, detractors have said the car's styling is too similar to that of the previous generation, and it has been panned for an average-looking interior.
"I'm fully aware there were mixed opinions for the Civic for the U.S. market," Honda CEO Takanobu Ito said. "I believe that the ultimate responsibility for the Civic rests with me. Right now we are trying to work out the best actions possible in response."
A mid-cycle freshening could occur in 2013 rather than 2014, reports say.
Speaking to North American reporters in a wide-ranging interview on Wednesday at the Tokyo motor show, Ito also shot down rumors of a potential tie-up with McLaren to return to Formula One racing in some capacity.
"That was a complete unfounded rumor," he said through an interpreter. "Of course we are interested, but we think there are higher priorities than Formula One."
Honda left the sport in 2008 amid the global financial crisis that also forced the company to scuttle the second-generation Acura NSX program and some of its motorsports endeavors. Honda remains active in IndyCar, MotoGP and other series.
The NSX has been confirmed to be back in Honda's product plans, though Ito deflected a direct question as to whether it will be revealed in January at the Detroit auto show.
The Honda chief said the company would focus its performance money into sporty cars. He envisions an all-electric sports car and a larger, yet athletic alternative-propulsion car in its lineup someday. Presaging that, Honda revealed the EV-ster, an all-electric roadster concept, and the AC-X, a plug-in sedan, in Tokyo.
Still, the Japanese automaker will not focus strictly on electric cars and hybrids, Ito said, preferring a broad strategy that involves internal-combustion engines, hybrids and fuel cells.
Ito also defended the Acura brand, which has also been the subject of criticism for balky styling and a lack of V8 engines. Ito said Acura vehicles will get more luxury and performance features, including a next-generation all-wheel-drive system.
"We are not satisfied with the current position," Ito said. "We want to boost the identity of the Acura brand."

Canaries in the Kitchen: DuPont spin
DuPont has repeatedly misled consumers about the safety of their products, publishing misleading information, obscuring important safety warnings, and intimidating bird-related websites which provide pet owners with warnings about the dangers Teflon poses to pet birds.
[1] DuPont 2001. University of Toronto Study and Cookware Safety. Accessed online at http://www1.dupont.com/NASApp/dupontglobal/corp/index.jsp? page=/content/US/en_US/news/position/cookware_safety.html. May 11 2003.

[7] DuPont 2003. "Making a safe home for your bird," written by Peter S. Sakas. Accessed online May 8 2003 from http://www.dupont.com/teflon/newsroom/bird.html.
In a recent news release, DuPont claimed that its coating remains intact indefinitely at 500°F: "DuPont non-stick coatings will not begin to deteriorate until the temperature of the cookware reaches about 500 degrees F, (260 degrees C), and significant decomposition of the coating will occur only when temperatures exceed about 660 degrees F (340 degrees C). These temperatures alone are well above the normal cooking range" [1][2]. Experiences of consumers whose birds have died from fumes generated at lower temperatures show that this is not the case. In one case researchers at the University of Missouri documented the death of about 1,000 broiler chicks exposed to offgas products from coated heat lamps at 396°F [3]. In another case a bird died after its owner preheated a new Teflon-lined oven to 325°F [4][5].
- DuPont also claims that human illness will be produced only in cases involving gross overheating: "In cases where non-stick coating is grossly overheated (any food would have long been burned to an inedible state at this point), fumes may produce temporary flu-like symptoms." [2]. Yet DuPont's own scientists have concluded that polymer fume fever in humans is possible at 662°F, a temperature easily exceeded when a pan is preheated on a burner or placed beneath a broiler, or in a self-cleaning oven [6].
Although DuPont has known of the particular susceptibility of birds to Teflon offgas products for decades, and the hazards Teflon poses to pet birds in the home, the company recently employed intimidation tactics to stop bird-related websites from discussing the toxicity of Teflon fumes to birds, impressing one webmaster to the point that he changed all mentions of "Teflon" in his public service messages on bird safety to "a product whose name I can no longer use due to its trademark."
>>| Read a letter sent to a bird owner from DuPont
- DuPont publicly acknowledges that Teflon can kill birds, but the company-produced public service brochure on bird safety discusses the hazards of ceiling fans, mirrors, toilets, and cats before mentioning the dangers of "PTFE" fumes at the bottom of the two-page brochure ("Teflon" is not mentioned) [7].

Recently, I picked up Little Empire, and while it does have a few technical issues, I can't seem to put it down. In fact, I normally get bored of new games pretty quickly, but I've probably logged a solid 5 hours of gameplay within the last 2 days. Being a ruthless king is hard work, you know.
First Things First
Camel Games describes this game as the "World's first LBS (Location Based Services) mobile MMO." While I can't be entirely sure this is actually a world first, it definitely is worth mention.Read More

McDonald's has ended a two-year program to test beverage sales of non-Coke products, and has decided to just stick with the real thing, Reuters reports.
Most recently, McDonald's had tried selling PepsiCo's Mountain Dew and Gatorade brands to no great success, the company said.
Who would have thought that selling energy drinks alongside Big Macs wouldn't exactly be a heavenly match?
"After a test of Pepsi products in several U.S. markets we have decided that they will not be included in our National Beverage Strategy," a McDonald's spokeswoman said.
The McDonald's decision represents another slap down of sorts for PepsiCo, which had recently revamped its logo and marketing campaign to try to take its customers' breath away.
Pepsi's new circular red, white and blue logo was supposed to ride the enthusiasm of Barack Obama's presidential campaign by mimicking Obama's popular "sunrise" logo. The Pepsi "O" even appeared in a "Hope" poster.
Too bad for them -- the president's new team is full of Coke fans.

Research Interests
Together with Roman Wittig, I co-direct the Tai Chimpanzee Project, Tai National Park, Ivory Coast, which currently has three habituated chimpanzee groups with a fourth under habituation, as well as one habituated sooty mangabey group. This is a dynamic group encompassing topics ranging from behavioural ecology and conservation to psychology and health and disease.
Together with my research group, I investigate questions related to the evolution of sociality, social cognition and communication. Using the comparative approach, we use observations, non-invasive hormone sampling and field experiments to address these questions in chimpanzees and other wild primates, including bonobos, baboons and sooty mangabeys. In terms of the evolution of sociality, we examine underlying physiological and cognitive mechanisms that may explain links between stress, social bonds and cooperation, between non-kin as well as kin.
Some current questions of interest:
- What triggers in-group cooperation and out-group aggression?
- Why do chimpanzees cooperate more than bonobos?
- What do chimpanzees gain from hunting together?
- What do chimpanzees gain from reconciling?
- Why do some chimpanzees adopt orphans?
- How much do cognitive demands vary between primate species?
- How much cognition is involved in chimpanzee vocal production?
- How much does vocal production vary across chimpanzee groups?
ERC project: The influence of early life experience on later social skills in chimpanzee
Social bonding success in life impacts on health, survival and fitness. It is proposed that early and later social experience as well as heritable factors determine social bonding abilities in adulthood, although the relative influence of each is unclear. In humans, the resulting uncertainty likely impedes psychological and psychiatric assessment and therapy. One problem hampering progress for human studies is that social bonding success is hard to objectively quantify, particularly in adults. I propose to directly address this problem by determining the key influences on social bonding abilities in chimpanzees, our closest living relative, where social bonding success can be objectively quantified, and variation in underlying hormonal and cognitive mechanisms can be examined.
We assimilate behavioural, non-invasively sampled hormonal and genetic data from five wild chimpanzee communities across two subspecies with the aim to assess the impact mothers have on offspring development and on their offspring's future adult life, for example we test the impact of post-weaning maternal loss on offspring behaviour, hormones and reproductive success.

Game #57: Rays at Jays pregame
Tampa Bay (24-31) at Toronto (27-29)
at 7:07 p.m. ET at the Rogers Centre
Today's lineups:
Elijah Dukes, CF
B.J. Upton, 2B
Carl Crawford, LF
Greg Norton, DH
Carlos Pena, 1B
Ty Wigginton, 3B
Delmon Young, RF
Raul Casanova, C
Brendan Harris, SS
PITCHING: RHP Andy Sonnanstine
Alex Rios, RF
Vernon Wells, CF
Matt Stairs, 1B
Frank Thomas, DH
Troy Glaus, 3B
Aaron Hill, 2B
Adam Lind, LF
Sal Fasano, C
John McDonald, SS
PITCHING: RHP Roy Halladay
NOTES: The Jays called up C Curtis Thigpen to fill Lyle Overbay's spot on the roster. Toronto manager John Gibbons said Thigpen will likely start at first base on Wednesday. Gibbons added that the Jays will reevaluate their roster before heading to the West coast, which could mean Thigpen's promotion may be temporary. … Overbay underwent surgery on his right hand on Tuesday in Baltimore, where the surgery was performed by the same doctor who operated on C Gregg Zaun's hand. … Zaun will suit up for Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday ans is on schedule to join the Jays in L.A. and be activated from the DL on Friday. … RHP Shaun Marcum is still OK to start on Saturday after experiencing back tightness during his start on Sunday. … To clear room on the 40-man roster for Thigpen, Toronto transferred RHP John Thomson to the 60-day DL.
QUOTABLE: "He's a Texan. That's all that matters." — Gibbons, on Thigpen
4 Comments
It will be interesting to see what the Jays do with Thigpen when Zaun rejoins the club on Friday. Do they keep Phillips, Fasano and Thigpen up with the big club and send a guy like Howie Clark down? Or do they send Thigpen down keeping three veteran catchers on the roster knowing that Phillips can spell Stairs at first base?
I know I'd hate to see Fasano get sent down given that he seems to be the only catcher that can throw runners out.
What, exactly, is the Jays' plan for John Thomson? First they sign him, then he (not surprisingly) goes on the DL, then he has a month-long rehab stint where he does quite well, and now they transfer him to the 60-day DL? He seemed to be ready to be back on the active roster.
Give him a start, not in Marcum or McGowan's place, of course, but why not Ohka's? Otherwise, why did the Jays sign him?
I don't care if that was against a bad bullpen that was still so exciting to watch. I'm glad i decided to not channel surf. V-dub was driving the ball tonight, Lind will hopefully pick up alot of confidence tonight and the jays offense won without a lot from Rios (bound to happen sooner or later)
I thought it was really eerie seeing Halladay pitch the way he did, it could be that he was pitching on adrenaline on his first start and probably felt ill-effects tonight. We'll see, at any rate he deserved to get picked up by the offense and it was great to see.
The hitting was great in the ninth, but the neat part was that they were able to sit back and take the walks instead of swinging at bad pitches. This club can sure make things happen in a hurry when it wants to.

From the Land of Superlatives Comes Super Ideas
February 5, 2010
By Richard Merritt
Editor's Note: For those interested in learning more about the World Future Energy Summit, two Duke undergrads will discuss their experiences at 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 11, in Schiciano Auditorium, side B, CEIMAS.
It might seem a bit ironic that a nation built entirely on the fruits of its vast oil and gas reserves would play host to an international conference dedicated to sustainability and all things green.
But for the third year running, policymakers, scientists and entrepreneurs from across the globe descended on Abu Dhabi in late January for the World Future Energy Summit, a gathering the New York Times dubbed "the Davos on renewable energy." More than 23,000 movers and shakers from 130 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, Australasia and the Middle East attended.
While the summit attracted all manners of luminaries – both political and scientific -- two Duke University undergraduates not only mingled and interacted with them, they were but few of the students officially on the program. Catherine Joseph and Sonja Sahlsten, both sophomores at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering, had the unique opportunity to describe to an audience Duke's sustainability efforts in general and the Smart Home program specifically (Watch the presentation).
"There were many more people than we expected at our session," said Joseph, a civil engineering major from Auburn, Maine. "Most of the people who asked questions seemed to be interested in the Smart Home and how it changed the residents' lifestyles and if the solar panels provided power for the building or fed it back into the grid (back to the grid)."
The first day of the four-day conference focused on the recently completed – and some say ineffectual -- international talks on reducing greenhouse gases in Copenhagen. However, the young women found the rest of the meeting to be more relevant to their own desires to pursue sustainability issues when they finish at Duke.
"During that first day, most of the speakers were politicians," Joseph said. "Afterwards, we got to focus on what I found to be most interesting. It seems the more you focus on the politics of getting something done, the less likely it is to happen."
Interestingly, the event wasn't a showcase for the latest whiz-bang technologies or gadgets, Sahlsten said, but rather more down-to-earth and practical topics.
"The conference didn't seem to focus as much on new and big technologies, but more a discussion of innovations that can help make what we already have work better together," said Sahlsten, an Orlando native majoring in mechanical engineering. "I was fascinated by the idea of smart grids, where wind, solar and wave technologies can be integrated into a cohesive whole.
"We also learned about smart meters, devices that can be used in any household," she continued. "They not only display the electrical usage by room or by each appliance, but they also calculate the carbon footprint for each. That way you have a better idea of your personal impact on the environment."
During their visit the students also took in the local sites, got a flavor of the culture, and generally played the tourist. Abu Dhabi, one of the richest cities in the world, is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and is one of the world's leading oil and gas producers.
"I was really surprised at the lack of native culture and cuisines," Joseph said. "It's like the city has just risen all of a sudden from the desert into the modern age. For example, there was no native cuisine – we ate great Lebanese, Chinese, and Italian -- but nothing representing Abu Dhabi or the region. For the most part, it looked like most other large cities in developed countries."
Sahlsten called the region "a land of superlatives," more than amply illustrated by Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the just-opened tallest building in the world. They ascended to the 124th floor – the highest observation deck in the world – in elevators traveling up to 40 miles per hour. From that vantage point, they see seven miles into the horizon. Interestingly, the skyscraper not only houses the world's highest mosque, but also the highest bar.
They also took time to visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the third largest mosque in the world, purposely designed not to overshadow the ones in Saudi Arabia's Medina and Mecca. It is also the only mosque in the Middle East where non-Muslims are allowed to enter.
"The mosque was designed to resemble paradise with large white spaces and the flowers of a garden," Sahlsten explained. "We saw the baths where prayers wash before the five daily prayers and the inside of the mosque where the services take place. Inside the mosque was even more beautiful and detailed than the outside. The white marble exterior is continued inside and is embellished with semi-precious stones from around the world."
"This visit gave me a greater understanding and appreciation of the Islamic religion, culture, and traditions," she added.
During the conference Joseph and Sahlsten met a young woman engineering student who invited them for a tour of her school, the Petroleum Institute, an engineering school for women.
"The campus is only three years old, and the buildings are new and quite beautiful inside," Joseph said. "The classes are also similar to our own, and the coursework and engineering tracks are also very alike. One of the women studying to be a petroleum engineer will be the first Emirati woman to have this degree."
The school is financially supported by a collection of 15 engineering companies. The women receive a free education and after graduation, are required to work at one of the companies for five years.
The experiences at the conference cemented both of their interests in pursuing sustainability and renewable energy in their education and beyond. In fact, both students are also working toward earning an Energy and the Environment certificate, a joint offering of Pratt and the Nicholas School of the Environment, in addition to their engineering degree.
The trip to Abu Dhabi was supported by Trinity College Dean Steve Nowicki, the OSAF Leadership Travel Fund, and the Green Grant Fund, a university program designed to help students develop strategies to help the campus go green.

Lodging Tax
Amounts Collected by Local Governments, Calendar Year
Ohio's Revised Code permits local governments to levy a tax
on lodging furnished to transient guests by hotels and motels
within their jurisdiction. Municipalities or townships may
levy a lodging tax of up to 3 percent, plus an additional tax
of up to 3 percent if they are not located (wholly or partly)
in a county that has levied a lodging tax. Counties may levy
a lodging tax of up to 3 percent, but can not initiate such a
tax if any municipality or township located wholly or partly
within the county has levied the additional lodging tax.
For most municipalities and townships, revenue from the
lodging tax goes to their general revenue fund. However, for
municipalities or townships who levy the additional tax of up
to 3 percent, the revenues from the additional tax are
divided between the general revenue fund of the municipality
or township and the convention and visitors' bureau (at least
50 percent) operating in the county. Revenues from a county
lodging tax are shared with municipalities and townships
(maximum of 33 1/3 percent) within the county that do not
have a lodging tax and the convention and visitor's bureau
operating with the county.
Thirty-seven counties, 72 townships and 93 municipalities
reported having lodging taxes for calendar year 1989 with
rates ranging from 1.0 percent to 6.0 percent. Approximately
80.8 percent of the lodging taxes reported were at a 3
percent rate. For jurisdictions that produced revenue,
lodging tax collections for calendar year 1989 ranged from
$150 in the Village of Strasburg to $6,259,509 in Franklin
County, with a statewide total of $43,714,902.

Royal Ballet First Artist Andrej Uspenski has released a book of photographs that offers an intimate portrait of daily life with the Company. Dancers: Behind the Scenes with The Royal Ballet features many Company members as well as guest artists such as Natalia Osipova, and showcases the best of Andrej's photography over the past five years.
The book includes a mix of over two hundred rehearsal, backstage and performance photos, reveals the unseen world of The Royal Ballet. 'Instead of perfect pictures of dancers in perfect positions, I want to show what we do to achieve that perfection on stage,' explains Andrej.
The book is more of a story than a collection of individual pictures. It shows a day in the life of a dancer, from daily class and rehearsals to backstage preparation and performances.'
'For example, in one photo Melissa Hamilton is trying on different pointe shoes to find the most comfortable pair for the performance. The photo shows the spotlights and the lines on the stage, revealing the auditorium from the dancers' perspective.'
Andrej grew up in St Petersburg and has been passionate about photography since he was a small child.
'My father was a photographer, and he always had a camera with him. I used to work with him in our dark room at home,' he said. 'Of course, my career is dancing, but when I'm backstage, so many things catch my eye to take photos of.'
Andrej, who is currently performing in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, has been dancing with The Royal Ballet for over ten years.
'I'm here all the time with access to the studios and dancers and so I know them and the productions, as well as what is most interesting from a photographic point of view,' he explains. 'Sometimes I dance and photograph in one night – I just ask somebody to hold the camera for me while I'm on stage!'

To celebrate the release of Skater Boy - the first book in the "First Kiss Club" I've been asking some fellow authors to tell me a first kiss story of their own! This one comes from PJ Sharon, author of the ebook "Heaven is for Heroes" and "On Thin Ice."
And the best part? You can win a copy for yourself along with a $50 Amazon gift card!! Just read her story and see below how to enter! There will be more chances to win each week and the winner will be chosen on the last day of February.
Without further ado...here's Jordie and Alex's first kiss story!! :)
He stood and faced me, a good four inches taller than my 5'10" and looking down at me with a smirk and a stubborn set to his bruised jaw. The green in his eyes sparkled and I felt myself caving already. As soon as he put his hands on my shoulders I knew I was doomed. "I need you to go home and give me a day. Just a day," he added before I could cut him off with an argument. "I need to do this alone. Let me look over the file and see if it clears up any questions. I promise I'll call you tomorrow and tell you what I find."Whoa! Pretty hot, huh? :) Makes you want to read the rest! Here's how you can get your hands on a copy.
The unexpected power of his proximity and strength of his hands on my arms made me weak-kneed and unable to stand my ground. And if I wasn't dissuaded already, I all but swooned when he leaned in and laid a gentle kiss on my forehead. He was fighting dirty and I didn't care. I soaked in the sensation of his soft lips and the tingle that shimmied all the way to my toes. When he looked down into my eyes, the expression on his face rendered me speechless. All those sharp angles disappeared in a softness that reminded me of warm summer days when he was just a boy, of climbing trees, swimming in the lake and racing to the dock. I could swim in those eyes and never come up for air.
My heart fluttered and my cheeks grew warm, the silence between us filled with a hundred memories and one long moment that could change us both forever. I studied the curve of his lips, imagining how they would taste and feel against mine, willing him to kiss me. I laid my hands tentatively on his chest, struck by the firmness under my fingertips. His heart hammered and mine skipped a beat faster to match his. Breathe, I reminded myself.
He was inches away, his voice barely above a whisper. "No matter what I find in that file, I want you to know…you have given me…well… you helped me find me again, and I'll never forget it."
Tears stung behind my eyes and I blinked them back. The intensity built to a thunderous wave crashing in my head, his words touching me deeply. I had to tell him how much he meant to me. I knew it was a terrible risk (a flash coming to mind of the last time I had said the words), but he had to know. "Coop…you know I…"
Before I could say it, he kissed me. Those lips I'd been imagining were suddenly pressed against mine, moist and warm and soft. A groan escaped as my whole body surrendered to the moment, reveled in the contact between us, wanting more than I knew I should. I kissed him back, pressing my body against him and wrapping my arms around his neck to pull him closer. His hands went to the small of my back to hold me there as if I might pull away—an unlikely possibility from where I stood. I had dreamed of this moment since I was old enough to know Alex was the only boy I wanted to kiss. Now I was in his arms, wrapped in the strength, tenderness, and passion I'd always known was Alex.

Tape occlusion is an inexpensive method of wart removal that involves
covering the wart with tape. It is often called the "duct tape" method.
While covering a wart with tape may help it go away, research studies don't show clear proof that using duct tape helps to clear up warts more quickly than they would if left alone.1
Using duct tape for warts is probably safe. But if your skin is very thin or fragile, be very careful when removing the tape.
If you're not sure whether a skin growth is a wart, it's best to see a health professional.

If given the choice, many people prefer natural products over items made with chemicals and toxins. According to a survey conducted by Natural Foods Merchandiser, natural products retailers racked up $36 billion in sales in 2010. But is it possible to know if a product is made with natural ingredients just by reading the labels?
"There are very few guidelines when it comes to labeling and natural products," said Caroline Freedman, founder of NurturMe Organic Baby Food. "If something is 'all natural' or says it's 'non-GMO' (Genetically Modified Organisms) or even 'gluten free'— there is no government standard certification to prove this."
Freedman said while there is no governing body in place for products that claim to be "all natural," there are now different organizations that have taken steps to certify glutens and GMOs.
"Organic certification is monitored but there's nothing to hold companies accountable for all these other natural claims that you will see on the labels," she said. "We know this is something our customers are very concerned about."
And it's not only food items that have this labeling confusion. Suki Kramer, who started the Suki line of natural skin and hair products in 2002 after years of battling eczema, said the cosmetics world is a free-for-all when it comes to label regulations.
"We govern ourselves," Kramer said. "It's a voluntary process where the companies submit themselves to the FDA rather than being required to report to the FDA."
Kramer, who is creating an advertisement for her products that lists synthetic ingredients to inform consumers, said it just takes a little bit of education to stay clear of the chemicals.
"You don't have to become a chemist," Kramer said. "But synthetic ingredients are really cheap so they are everywhere."
Experts also suggest being wary of items with a long list of ingredients.
"The more ingredients you see on a label, the more likely it is that chemicals are involved," said Eric Boyce, CEO of Vaska, a natural laundry care line. "Our laundry detergent has eight ingredients. Brands with chemicals will often have more than 30."
Here are some tips to breaking down those natural product labels:
Look for an official certification. "'Kosher Certified' has been in place for a long time and their guidelines and standards are very specific," Freedman said. "And the QAI label — or Quality Assurance International — means the product is certified organic, and made with no pesticides or pollutants."
"The EPA recognition for DFE — Designed For the Environment — is one you can trust," Boyce said.
"I really like LeapingBunny.org," Kramer said. "They put their name on products that follow their protocol. In 10 years, nobody has ever come to my building and looked at what I do, except for them."
Beware of products with warnings. "Our label says 'dilute with water', not 'call poison control,'" Boyce said. "I actually drank our product to prove a point. It tastes terrible and it's not recommended, but it's safe enough to consume."
Avoid dyes and fragrances. "Dyes are really unnecessary and can be full of toxins," Kramer said. "The same goes for scents. The most harmful are listed as 'parfum' or 'parfume.' "
Get educated about synthetic or toxic ingredients. Kramer recommends you avoid parabens, formaldehyde, dimethicone, dioxin and pthalates.
"Any unfamiliar long scientific sounding words — that to me says it's heavily processed or a preservative," Freedman said.
Higher price doesn't mean higher quality. "Even the really expensive brands will have most of the same ingredients as the pharmacy brands," Kramer said. "It's very rare to find things that are 100 percent natural. So turn that product around and read the label panel.
"We do a lot of research with what we put out there and once people hear that 60 percent of what you put onto your skin goes into your bloodstream, you really start to pay more attention."
