Built in 1902, the home features numerous stained glass windows, inlaid oak floors and paneling, ceilings with beams, carved limestone and marble mantles, and a bright, airy ambiance.
|History abounds here. Shining Dawn is located on a road upon which Union and Confederate Cavalries clashed during the Battle of Hanover.

Many people are familiar with the term "biopsy," which is the removal and examination of tissue, cells, or fluids from the body. This procedure is done to determine the presence or absence of disease. But what happens to the material collected in the biopsy? And how is disease determined? This crucial task is carried out by pathologists.
Pathologists are physicians who obtain and examine tissues, blood, and other body fluids at high magnification under a microscope for diagnosis and patient care. They play an integral role in the health care team-all treatment decisions going forward are dependent upon their diagnosis of the biopsy.
At Baptist, anatomic pathology services-which include the examination of both tissues and cells obtained in body fluids-are provided onsite under the direction of four surgical pathologists and two hematopathologists, all board-certified pathologists with years of experience as well as specialty areas. Baptist's pathologists examine more surgical pathology sections than any other hospital in the city of Jackson.

What about the travelers that are in Egypt with your company right now? Are they safe and will they return home sooner?
This post has been update here.
I just told you in an earlier post that we hoped the protests in Egypt would subside, but they have continued to escalate. Just moments ago, the U.S. Department of State issued travel alert for Egypt, warning U.S. travelers of the ongoing political and social unrest in Egypt.
As a result, Friendly Planet Travel is temporarily suspending our tours to Egypt until the situation is resolved. Travelers who are scheduled for departures before Feb. 28 (when the alert is scheduled to expire) will be notified by Friendly Planet about rescheduling, selecting another destination, or cancelling arrangements altogether. We will work with every traveler to get refunds.
Below is a message we sent to everyone who booked a tour to Egypt with us. Read on to see how we are handling this situation to ensure the safety of every traveler. I'll continue to update you here on the blog as the situation unfolds. And if you have more questions or concerns write to me or call our offices at 1-800-555-5765.
Dear Friendly Planet Egypt Travelers,
With the recent political protests and public unrest throughout Egypt, we fully understand that you may have concerns regarding your upcoming tour. We are currently evaluating the best possible option to ensure a safe and enjoyable vacation for you, whether that means running the tour with an amended itinerary, providing an alternative tour to a different region during the same date range, or cancelling the tour and working with you to reschedule/possibly refund.
Traveler's safety is always our primary concern at Friendly Planet and we will never operate a tour that we feel is unsafe. We know that a lot can change within 24 hours and we are watching the unfolding events closely while in regular contact with our trusted Land Suppliers in Egypt and we plan to make a final decision regarding your upcoming trip early next week. Once we have pursued all options and reached a decision, we will follow up with you accordingly .
If you are reading this e-mail and have already decided that you will not be traveling to Egypt regardless, we certainly respect your decision to cancel but we apologize that we cannot guarantee a full refund at this point, however we will work with all parties involved to insure the lowest possible penalties for such cancellation.
We are hopeful that the situation in Egypt resolves itself in the coming days. If so, and if it is possible to travel to Egypt safely and with confidence, you can continue with your travel plans without interruption. If safe travel is not possible, you will have all the options to cancel and you can count on us to do whatever is necessary to recover as much as possible, if not all, of your tour payments. We are your advocates, and we work for you. Please rest assured that we have your well being at heart.
We will be following the new stories all weekend, as we are sure many of you will do, and will have a better overall picture of the implications by Wednesday of next week.
As soon as further information becomes available and a final decision is made, we will e-mail you with the news.
Best Regards,
Peggy M. Goldman

Thilo Sarrazin
In August 2010 Thilo Sarrazin, a member of Germany's Social Democratic Pparty (SPD), former senator of finance for the state of Berlin and until recently board member of the German central bank (Bundesbank), published a book that has provoked a huge debate in Germany. By the end of October 2010 1.1 million copies of the book had been printed of which 750,00 had already been sold: "Deutschland schafft sich ab" ("Germany abolishes itself") looks at the effects of immigration, the shrinking birth-rate in Germany and the growth of a social "underclass". Above all, Sarrazin accuses Muslims in particular of being unwilling to integrate. German integration authorities, academics and politicians, he argues, are refusing to even discuss the problem:
"In Germany, a host of integration researchers, Islam scholars, sociologists, political scientists, interest groups as well as a flock of naive politicians work hand in hand and intensively in belittlement, self-delusion, and denial."
(Deutschland schafft sich ab, p. 279)
In an interview with the weekly Die Zeit, Sarrazin summed up his analysis in "the rule of three":
"First: the natural population dynamic of our people is declining. Second: birth-rates are related to class - the lower classes are having more babies. This asymmetry results in a contraction of the intellectual potential of society, even without immigration. Third: Measured by the deficits stemming from demography and birth-rate structure, the current immigration doesn't match. Especially immigration from Muslim countries poses a threat to the European cultural model."
Die Zeit: Sind Muslime dümmer? ("Are Muslims more stupid?"), 26 August 2010
Sarrazin is not a newcomer to the topic of Islam and integration. While senator of finance in Berlin, he repeatedly commented on the issue:
"I did not make up my opinion about Kreuzberg by going there and saying, ah, another headscarf or another pram. I looked at the Berlin statistics. As senator of finance, of course I thought to myself: how are we to pay for all this?"
Berliner Morgenpost: Thilo Sarrazin: "Ich bin kein Rassist" ("I am not a racist") (29 August 2010)
In 2009, Sarrazin clearly spelled out this line of thinking in a long interview with the cultural magazine Lettre International in a special issue on "Berlin on the couch - writers and artists on 20 years the fall of the Berlin Wall":
"I don't need to respect people who live off the state, despise that state, don't properly care for the education of their children and constantly produce new little headscarf-girls."
"The lower the class the higher the birth-rate. The share in birth-rates of Arabs and Turks is two to three times higher than their corresponding share in the population. Many of them are neither willing to integrate nor capable of doing so. The solution to this problem can only be no more immigration; and those who would like to marry should do this abroad."
"A large number of Arabs and Turks have no productive function, except for trade in fruits and vegetables and in all likelihood there won't be any other perspective."
"The Turks are conquering Germany in the same way the Kosovars conquered Kosovo: by using higher birth-rates. I would like this if it would be Eastern European Jews who have an IQ which is 15 points higher than the one of the German population."
Lettre International: "Klasse statt Masse" ("Quality, not quantity"), 30 September 2009, issue 86
Sarrazin's statements on immigrants in Berlin caused an uproar in the media and among many politicians who called for his dismissal from the Bundesbank and his expulsion from the SPD. These calls were renewed after Sarrazin published his book in August 2010.
Two of his statements in particular drove politicians and journalists to the barricades. In his book he wrote:
"We have to assume that for demographic reasons the underclass section of the population is growing steadily. Among migrants we have seen that the birth-rate is highest among those groups of migrants with the lowest levels of education, in other words those from Turkey, the Middle East and Africa. Studies on the workforce have come to similar conclusions. These show that women who are poorly or not integrated into the labour market at all are more likely to have children or increase the size of their fold. But intelligence is 50 to 80 percent hereditary and thanks to the class-related reproductive rate, this unfortunately means that the hereditary intellectual potential of the population is continually shrinking."
And when asked in an interview with Die Welt whether there is such thing as a "genetic identity", Sarrazin replied, "All Jews have a certain gene in common. Basques have a certain gene which differentiates them from others." Sarrazin later apologised for the remark, saying that he had read about two studies (by Harry Ostrer and Doron Behar) which suggest that many Jews have shared genetic roots, the interview effectively sealed the fate of the book.
Most of Germany's politicians united in a choir of disapproval of Sarrazin's ideas. Chancellor Angela Merkel described them as "nonsense". Sarrazin's statements were "marginalising" and "contemptuous of entire groups of society...His language is socially divisive," she said in a TV interview. Shortly thereafter the chairman of the Bundesbank asked German President Christian Wulff for permission to remove Sarazzin from the bank's board. Only a few hours later the SPD filed for his expulsion from the party. While the procedure for Sarrazin's expulsion from the SPD is still ongoing, he has withdrawn from the Bundesbank board without waiting for the president's official decision.
Sarrazin and his controversial book have rekindled a debate on Islam and integration that has made headlines in Germany for almost a decade. Despite the claims made by Sarrazin and many of his supporters, the problems of integration have certainly not gone unnoticed or unmentioned for reasons of political correctness in the five years preceeding his book, as this website also shows.
Many mainstream media have also been critical.
"'Germany abolishes itself'" tells the tale of a nation's decline. And the Muslims who make up a mere six percent of the population are being held responsible. It begs the question as to what the remaining 94 percent have spent the past decades doing to secure the future of their country. Sarrazin's book is an attempt by a disoriented elite to exonerate itself. No wonder it is such a success."
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: "So wird Deutschland dumm" ("This is how Germany is becoming stupid"), 25 August 2010
The Frankfurter Rundschau concluded that the book's thesis is the work of a madman. The book "attempts to connect his statistically-grounded contempt for the overweight, welfare-grabbing underclass couch potatos with racist theories on cultural mentalities." And the Frankfurter Allgemeine on Sunday observed that the book is an attempt
"to establish a very different understanding of culture. One that links genetics with culture, on the basis of a word that Sarrazin (citing Darwin) drops as casually as Gottfried Benn once did: 'selective breeding'. Sarrazin is not talking about Goethe and Schiller, though his book does mention poetry. For him, culture is the reflex of a biological process. The fact that in Germany ever more children are being born to families from the underclass milieu automatically results in the dumbing down of society. Those who succeed in making a career for themselves in spite of their background do nothing to influence his findings. There is nothing new about this theory. On the contrary, it is based on the Enlightenment idea of education, school and upbringing. But Sarrazin's message is different: education, which he refers to contemptuously as a 'mantra', is powerless as a vehicle for intellectual advancement. Individuals and entire nations are limited by their genetic and ethnic dispositions."
At the Tagesspiegel, writers, Islam scholars, education and immigration experts spoke out more or less in unison. Feridun Zaimoglu explained:
"People like him are fire starters. He is handing over the Muslim as the boogie man to a frightened middle class, with the implication that the Muslim is also responsible for the bank crisis and for the collapse of the welfare system."
The publicist Hilal Sezgin wrote:
"In the US we have started to hear discussions about whether black people are less intelligent than whites. This is obviously racism talking. In Germany too we need to develop a sensibility for the kind of debates which upset the underlying moral consensus. It is pure negligence to define groups and stir up bad blood between them."
And the publicist Mark Terkessidis explained:
"It might be an insult to the intelligence that Sarrazin swears by to have to dwell for any length of time on the lengthy passages of utter nonsense in his book, but the debate it has triggered has clearly demonstrated that certain opinions are no longer tolerated in the political spectrum of the German republic."
There were also voices in support of Sarrazin, however. In the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Necla Kelek asked why Sarrazin had been demonised when a proper discussion about his book was what was needed:
"All this fuss strikes me as somewhat staged and the racism argument smacks of a red herring. So he doesn't want to live in a Muslim Germany because he is suspicious of that sort of society. What's wrong with that? The economist in Sarrazin has calculated that the 750,000 Turkish immigrant workers now number almost 3 million and that 40 percent of the able bodied among them live off the state instead of working. This makes no economic sense for him and leads him to ask whether immigration, in its current form, is not a mistake. This is no reason to get upset at Sarrazin. Instead we should be asking the politicians who are responsible for this state for affairs whether or not they have really served the interests of the country."
For the writer Monika Maron, speaking with Die Welt, the public debate has missed the point:
"Why can't we leave aside Sarrazin's obviously potty ideas about genetic theory and start talking about something much more worrying: the growing confessionalisation of our society, the millions of euros we are doling out in welfare cheques, the education deficit and the criminality among Muslim youth? Government schemes and vast sums of money have done little or nothing to change a situation that has been well-known for many years. What else has to happen?"
The debate about Sarrazin's book was also picked up by the international media. In its online edition, the Economist wrote that
"In a way, the stir [Sarrazin] has created is a tribute to Germany's political culture. The mainstream parties are not blind to the problems he identifies but strive to be politically correct about them. The few openly xenophobic parties are marginalised. Mr Sarrazin has given voice to fears and resentments that have no political outlets. Germany has rightly worked hard to close them off. Now that Mr Sarrazin has prised one open, politicians will have to work doubly hard to prove him wrong."
The Washington Post refers to the fact that while the political elite and mainstream media refuted Sarrazin's arguments almost in unison, the picture among the ordinary population is not as clear. (According to some surveys, more than 40 percent support Sarrazin.)
"Yet Sarrazin's critique of Muslim immigrants has without question touched a national nerve. In the bars, taxis and offices of Berlin these days, it is the hottest topic of conservation, with his supporters feeling almost liberated by Sarrazin's willingness to throw caution to the wind and speak openly about their concerns. More than anything, he has tapped into German frustrations about the tendency of Muslim Turks - who began large-scale immigration in the 1960s to help run German factories - to live clannish lives, jealously guarding their language and religious traditions."
The New York Times places the Sarrazin debate in the wider context of Islamophobia:
"Mr. Sarrazin has set off a painful public discussion here that highlights one of the nation's most vexing challenges: how to overcome what is widely seen as a failed immigration policy that over decades has done little to support and integrate the nearly 20 percent of the population with an immigrant background. It is a policy that also stokes anti-Islamic sentiment and hostility."

Mistakes liiiiike dyeing my gorgeous, perfectly golden blonde hair to theeeee most atrocious shade of purple imaginable and thus having to spend MONTHS to get it back to that luxurious shade of blonde.
Mistakes like eating half of a whole pie a couple nights ago because it was the day after Christmas and therefore, calories were nonexistent from the day-after-a-holiday-calorie-rule. #nottrue
Mistakes like accidentally over-drafting my bank account because I was too lazy to check but too eager to buy a new stack of books.
Mistakes like creating a very popular recipe on the interwebs for looking great but coming together.. not so great.
Ever since I posted my Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars with Cookie Dough Frosting, it's been one of my top recipes on the blog. However, it's also been the one most people complain about having problems with — and that ain't cool, bro.
While I strive to make sure every recipe of mine is perfect before it goes to publish, sometimes I make stupid human mistakes and mess a thing or two up and don't realize it until later (or at all, like in this case).
As I sat, oblivious to the problems people were having with this recipe, I kept getting comment after comment, email after email about readers having issues. In turn, I kind of felt like a bad friend–giving you a recipe that looks SO promising but is really crappy (like a cute handbag whose straps break in a week–lame and heartbreaking, man).
Soooo I tweaked this recipe so we could be friends again. And so we could all enjoy delicious cookie bars with cookie dough frosting like we are perfect people who never make mistakes and then have to correct them on the internet. Or whatever.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars with Cookie Dough Frosting *cookie bars adapted from THIS recipe; inspired by THESE bars
- For Cookie Bars:
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup mini milk chocolate chips
- For Cookie Dough Frosting:
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- About 3 cups powdered sugar
- Milk (as needed)
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8" pan with foil, extending the sides over the edges of the pan. Mist lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, cornstarch and salt, and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugars until creamy, about a minute. Beat in the egg and vanilla to combine.
- Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Once dough has come together, stir the mini chocolate chips in by hand with a wooden spoon.
- Press the cookie dough into the prepared dish in an even layer. Bake for approx. 20 minutes or until golden brown, center is set, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Cool completely.
- To prepare the frosting, in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, vanilla and brown sugar until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, about a cup at a time, until frosting is light and fluffy. You kind of want it on the softer side (think cookie dough!) rather than stiff icing, so if you need to add milk, do so now, about a Tablespoon at a time. Stir in the miniature chocolate chips.
- Spread the frosting evenly on top of the cooled cookie bars. Pop the bars in the fridge for about 10 minutes or so to set the frosting.
- Cut into squares and serve! This recipe makes about 9 bars if you cut them larger, or about 12 on the smaller side (like what I did here). You can keep them fresh in the fridge for a couple days when covered.
First of all, I love this basic cookie dough recipe. It has yet to fail on me and is SO delicious and completely goofproof. The cornstarch adds height to the bars, making them tall and puffy rather than short and squat like my last batch. According to readers, the last recipe produced a crumbly, dry dough — this dough is very wet and sticky but produces a moist, fluffy bar. I'm sure if you give this another try (or a first try!) you'll be impressed by the difference.. I am! A second time is definitely a charm 🙂
Have a wonderful New Year's Day!
xo, Hayley

CONVENTIONAL wisdom calls the 2012 presidential race the "demographic election," attributing President Obama's victory in large part to his commanding advantage among rapidly growing groups like Latinos and millennials.
But if demographics is destiny in politics, it is even more true for policy. Far from the headlines, the debate over the budget deficit, taxes and unemployment is being driven by large-scale changes in the American population — and in this case, it's not the new demographics of the young that are important, but rather the old demographics of the baby boom.
For decades we have known that the retirement of the baby boomers would be a monumental event for the economy. But now that it's happening, many fiscal policy makers are acting as if the boomers are eternal teenagers and are turning a blind eye to how the boomers' aging changes how we should approach economic policy. And this affects two of the central issues of the negotiations: how much the government should spend and how we can cut unemployment.
Consider the debate over spending. The Congressional Budget Office projects that if current policies continue, total federal spending will rise to 24 percent of gross domestic product in 2022. Republicans and Washington deficit hawks argue that this means spending is out of control, since over the past 40 years government spending has averaged 21 percent.
Their proposed solution is a cap on government spending as a percentage of the economy. Mitt Romney wanted to cap spending at 20 percent of G.D.P. Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, has proposed a cap of 20.6 percent with Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri. Just this week, Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, a 2016 Republican presidential aspirant, suggested an 18 percent cap.
These plans ignore the simple fact that you cannot repeal the aging of the boomers. The main reason expenditures are rising this decade is that spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is increasing by a whopping 3.7 percent of G.D.P. as the baby boomers age and retire. This demographic fact also has been driving increases in disability insurance payments as more knees give way and backs give out.
These inexorable demographic changes mask the fact that over the past four years we have experienced historic levels of fiscal discipline. While there was a temporary and necessary spike in spending from the Recovery Act, annual appropriations actually declined by 1.4 percent a year between 2008 and 2012 in inflation-adjusted dollars — after growing by 6.1 percent a year during the George W. Bush administration. Under the caps agreed to last year, discretionary spending is scheduled to reach its lowest level, as a share of the economy, since the Eisenhower administration.
This discipline, however, is being overwhelmed by demographic reality. We need to accept the fact that we simply cannot revert to historical norms in government spending and keep faith with commitments made to millions of aging workers.
But that is no excuse for inaction: in addition to the existing caps on discretionary spending, we need higher revenues along with slower spending growth in our social insurance programs.
Ignoring the economics of boomer retirement also distorts debates about the unemployment rate.
Despite the fact that the unemployment rate has dropped faster in the past year than at any time since 1995, Republicans say there has been no recovery in the job market, since the 150,000 jobs being added monthly are simply keeping up with population growth. They note that the employment-to-population rate has not recovered significantly and claim that the only reason the unemployment rate is going down is that people are giving up looking for work.
If this were the 1960s, they might have a case. But the children of the 1960s are now in their 60s, and are simply not as likely to want to be in the labor force as younger workers. The employment-to-population ratio is on a steady downward trend, regardless of the economy. The fact that the rate is flat is evidence that the labor market is recovering (though not fast enough).
With more than 200,000 boomers exiting the labor force each month through retirement, the rule of thumb that the economy needs to add 140,000 jobs per month to keep up with population growth no longer holds. The new normal is 100,000, which is why 150,000 new jobs a month has brought the unemployment rate from 9.5 percent to 7.9 percent over the last two years.
Getting this right matters. If policy makers believe that the labor market has not improved over the past three years, they will reject the stimulus approach that the president took in 2009 and oppose further efforts to boost aggregate demand — just as John A. Boehner, the speaker of the House, did last week after the administration called for a $50 billion stimulus package.
Over the coming weeks, big fiscal policy choices will be made, and many will be looking backward for a guide on how to move forward. But just as the generation that once proclaimed "don't trust anyone over 30" has had to face the reality of gray hair and grandkids, the new economics of the baby boom dictate that we must deal with the country and economy we have today — not the one in the history books.

Kilroy, John Beresford "Jim" - 2014 Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award
John Beresford
"Jim" Kilroy
"My best memories of the Kialoa years are of the crew, what we accomplished together.
They've all stayed in touch, forging friendships around the world."
May 1, 1922 — September 29, 2016
Birthplace: Ruby, Alaska
Maxi Man
In 1979, I sailed aboard Kialoa III on the storm-ravaged Fastnet Race. Here's an excerpt from the book that resulted ( Fastnet, One Man's Voyage ):
"The Fantasy, for many who are struck as children with the terminal disease called sailing, often involves a dream boat of majestic proportions that plies the oceans of the world making a hundred landfalls, each one more enchanting than the last, with its crew sampling the world's cultures, foods, wines and women; fraternizing with the rich and powerful, and in the best possible way. Jim Kilroy has made it a reality, and a palatable one by doing it right."
Kilroy did it right for more than 40 years, starting in the 1960s with a series of 5 maxi boats all named Kialoa — "long, beautiful canoe" in Hawaiian. His rules: pay your own plane fare to the boat; no women allowed to sleep on board; keep the toilet lids down so the towels won't fall in; make up your bunk; keep your gear and yourself clean; speak your piece, then follow orders.
This skipper led by example. Jim is a savvy sailor, a good helmsman who almost always started the boat. He was involved with all facets of the Kialoas , from design and building to using the day's latest technology (an HP-67 card-programmable calculator) to solve tactical problems and assess performance. Kilroy brought the focused concentration, hyper organization, and various systems that had proved successful in his business to his race boat: "controlled averages" (soliciting maximum input from employees), the value of stress, physical fitness plus, and faith in the subconscious mind. The result was a winning boat (a dozen passage records set, and hundreds of victories from Sydney Hobart to Cowes, the SORC, Sardinia, and Antigua) with a hard-partying, cosmopolitan crew of self-reliant, fast-talking sailors that was loyal as an outlaw gang.
Kilroy was concerned about their future. Born in Alaska into the Depression with a vagrant father, Kilroy knew about hard times. Smart and ambitious, from the outset he had a keen eye for what worked, and lived by it. He predicted the post war need for manufacturing and office space in California. An ace insurance salesman (million dollar club), Kilroy moved into industrial real estate in a comprehensive way and found his true niche. Kilroy Realty (Kilroy Industries until 1996) Corporation's impressive command center is close by the Los Angeles International Airport, where Kilroy's initial properties took shape.
If Jim discovered a Kialoa crewman didn't have a real job, he'd be suspended. If the guy couldn't find a job, Jim often offered him one. Several crewman forged lucrative careers at K.I. Today, at 92, Jim is most proud of his crews' success rate in business.
The Kialoas were Jim Kilroy's fantasy, his Big Dream, one he made a reality in his own inimitable way for himself, and for a collective of 100 grateful sailors.
As the esteemed British sailor Harold Cudmore commented, "In every generation there is an individual who changes the status quo for the better. Jim was that man at that time."

Eric Jaffe
Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
Last month we explained how parks can restore much of the mental fatigue imposed on our brains by the busy city. The psychological evidence for this concept, known as the "attention restoration theory," is quite clear. What would be great to know, as I noted at the end of that post, is precisely how many trees it takes to recover the cognitive strains of urban life.
Well sometimes the gods of semi-obscure-hybrid-behavior-nature-academic-publications listen to your calls. In an upcoming issue of the journal Landscape and Urban Planning, a group of Finnish researchers describe recent work that just so happens to address our exact curiosity. They conclude that restoration reaches peak potential when every inch of the city — which they term the "urban matrix" — escapes our vision:
Our results showed that perceived restorativeness in urban forests was strongly affected by closure of view to the urban matrix through the forest vegetation. This means that perceived restorativeness was higher inside the forest with a closed (i.e. no) view to the urban matrix as compared to semi-closed and open views.
For the study, the researchers identified nine patches of boreal forest in greater Helsinki that bordered the "urban matrix" — in this case either a housing development (some single-family units, some flats) or an urban road with a steady flow of traffic. Within each nature site the researchers found three viewing points that offered a clear open look at the urban matrix (below, A and B), a partial glimpse (C), or no view of the road or homes at all (D).
Next, they recruited 66 people of all ages from the metropolitan area. Each study participant visited two of the viewing points at one of the nature patches and completed a questionnaire on the restorative potential of that particular site. The results followed a clear linear pattern: as one's view of the urban matrix increased, the perceived cognitive restorativeness of the park decreased. (There was no statistical difference between a view of the road and that of the homes.)
The work lacks a bit of force for its methods. While the researchers focused on "attention restoration theory," they provided only a questionnaire of perceived restorativeness as opposed to direct cognitive tests of attention. The questionnaire they used has been validated in previous empirical settings, but it's certainly a weaker measurement than, say, the "backwards digit-span task" used by other psychologists studying urban parks.
Still the findings provide urban planners with some nice food for thought. The most intriguing conclusion to be drawn here is that the size of an urban park isn't nearly as important as the density of its vegetation. Even when a nature site borders an urban road or housing development, it can function as a restorative place so long as it offers easy access to a dense interior. In other words, the ultimate goal is not to see the city for the trees.

Livability indexes can obscure the experiences of non-white people. CityLab analyzed the outcomes just for black women, for a different kind of ranking.
The pioneering festival marketplace was among the most trendsetting urban attractions of the last 40 years. Now it's looking for a new place in a changed city.
Public transportation systems in the United States gained passengers over the second and third quarters of 2019. But the boost came from two large cities.
In most major cities, fewer than 15 percent of voters turn out to cast a ballot for mayor.
With "The 2100 Project: An Atlas for A Green New Deal," the McHarg Center tries to visualize how the warming world will reshape the United States.

Over time, aging causes a person's face and neck area to sag, fold, crease and wrinkle as skin develops less tolerance towards sunlight, stress and gravity. A facelift or rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure to reposition or remove muscle, skin and fatty areas around the lower parts of the face and neck to give the face a younger, fresher appearance. Men and women have facelifts, and most are over 40, still have skin elasticity and have well-defined and strong bone structure.
As part of Cedars-Sinai Medical Group, the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Program offers patients a range of options for facelifts. Surgeons use leading-edge technology and world-class surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes for facelift candidates.
Surgical Procedure
Most facelift incisions start above the hairline at the temples and extend in a natural line in front of the ear and continue behind the earlobe. The exact placement of incisions depends on the patient's facial structure and the surgeon's preference. After the incisions have been made, surgeons:
- Separate the skin from the fat and muscle beneath it
- Trim or suction around the neck and chin to improve the contour of the face
- Tighten the underlying muscle and membrane
- Pull the skin back and remove excess skin
- Stitch layers of tissue and close the incisions
After Surgery
Facelift complications occur infrequently, but may include hematoma (collection of blood under the skin), nerve injury (temporary), infection and possible reactions to the anesthesia. Surgeons prescribe medication or use other methods to ease these complications. Most stitches and bandages are removed within five days after surgery. Patients should also expect their faces to look pale, puffy and bruised. This is quite normal and should go away several weeks after surgery.

I thought the show was excellent, it was my first-ever audio, but a great one to go to. The atmosphere was very laid-back and relaxed and on Sunday, reasonably quiet. I met some really nice people, including some industry folks: Jim Spainhour and David Soloman of Signal Path Intl, Dan Meinwald of EAR, James D at the Intuitive room (who flipped over my Melody Gardot CD), and Ray Kimber. What I was most impressed with was the number of exhibitors, who at the end of the day, were kicked back in their rooms, shoes off, and just listening to music for the joy of it.
The Richness of RMAF 2009
As the sixth annual Rocky Mountain Audio Fest draws to a close at the Denver Marriott Tech Center, what is now the largest annual audio show in the USA could boast an attendance of 3700, 200 more than last year. Prominent among attendees from 49 states and overseas was a notable increase in the number of under-40 attendees. No doubt they were drawn by the rise of audiophile computer-audio playback, the resurgence of vinyl, and the large exhibit hall populated by the Head-Fi headphone community. The younger attendees included an influx of students, who responded to RMAF's concentrated outreach to local colleges.
Nor were all the new attendees men. Although the hi-end remains male-dominated, far more women than ever before braved the testosterone-laden environment to discover the best the High End has to offer. Venturing into the halls, they discovered over 150 exhibit rooms packed with products from at least 479 companies.
This year, women were the main driving force behind the show. After the sudden death of show co-founder Al Stiefel on January 27, his wife, Marjorie Baumert, vowed to continue Al's service to the audiophile community. Assuming directorship, she assembled a dedicated team headed by Assistant Director Marcie Miller. Marjorie also called upon friends, family members, and the Colorado Audiophile Society to assist her in her task. That she not only persevered through her grief, but also managed to put together the finest show RMAF has ever produced, is a credit to the depth of her commitment and love.
After the show, Marjorie expressed her thanks, not only to everyone mentioned above, but also to those who extended "kind words and many hugs." I, for one, will never forget the night before the show opened, when Marjorie broke down in the arms of Stereophile's Laura LoVecchio, then rallied to lead a touching toast to her wonderful late husband.
"Over the past five years," says Marjorie, "the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest has grown from a small regional show to a driving force in the audio industry, and seems poised to remain so, if comments from exhibitors are any indication. If you haven't had a chance to attend in the past, the dates for the 2010 show are October 1517, 2010. Hope to see you there!"
After the show closed, I happened upon the Auraliti display. Their handout includes a list of delicious sources of high-resolution content. How heartening to discover a host of new products that can play high resolution discs and downloads from Reference Recordings, HD Tracks, Gimell (The Tallis Scholars), MA Recordings, Chesky Records, 2L, Society of Sound, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Linn Records (including Yarlung Records), Naim, and Moonalice. By RMAF 2010, I expect the list of hi-rez distributors will be far longer, if no more richer than it already is.
This year, two of Stereophile's writers, editor John Atkinson and columnist/reviewer Michael Fremer, were involved in seven of the 21 free seminars presented over the course of three days. JA performed triple duty, not only leading four seminars on the "Loudness Wars" and moderating an expert-filled panel on Computer Audio, but also blogging a number of rooms, and editing and posting all the blogs. To my regret, John's work was made more complex by the sudden death of my trusted Canon digital camera, necessitating an emergency run to Best Buy.
For my part, I realized that Superman might have preferred to cozy up to kryptonite rather than attempt to write a host of blog entries while visiting 150 exhibits, a number of seminars, the Head-Fi exhibit area, and a special Martini tribute to Stereophile's late founder, J. Gordon Holt. Sustained by John's support, several extremely healthy vegetable-rich yummy lunch buffets in the hotel's Italian restaurant by the Tower elevators, and the good will of manufacturers and reps, I went to work.
Surprisingly, I encountered the majority of my "Best of Show" rooms on the first day of the show. That's the day when exhibitors usually excuse their equipment, explaining that it has not totally settled in. Given how great so many of those rooms sounded, I can't imagine how they sounded on Sunday, after all those high-end electrons had found their groove.
Inevitably, I fell far short of entering 150 rooms. The camera fiasco, a temporary power outage and fire alarm drama on Saturday afternoon, and that damned need for sleep got in the way. Worst of all, I enjoyed the sound in so many rooms that I found it difficult to play slam, bam, thank you ma'am. To all the valued manufacturers, reps, publicists, and designers whose achievements I missed, I express my sincerest regrets.
What I don't regret is the opportunity to once again immerse myself in the passion and love for music that brings us together. To everyone who attended RMAF 2009 with open ears, and who responded to Marjorie's dedication with open hearts, I raise the metaphorical glass.
After dinner with JA at the Show's end, we happened upon another party of RMAF co-conspirators. I snapped a group photo. Pictured, from left to right, are Jeff Joseph (Joseph Audio), Laura LoVecchio (Stereophile ad sales), David Solomon (Peachtree Audio), Roy Gregory (Nordost, former editor HiFi+, aka Louise's husband), John Atkinson, Bea Lam (VTL), Luke Manley (aka Bea's husband), and Louise Ford (Nordost-in-waiting).
RMAF 2009 was a truly great show. And the Marriott staff was, as usual, uniformly gracious, responsive and accommodating. Thanks to one and all. Hope to see you in person next year.
BTW, while the rest of actually had time to think, stop and relax a few moments at RMAF, Jason was always hard at work: auditioning gear, listening to music, doing interviews, photographing exhibits and writing this blog. Everytime time I saw Jason this weekend he was rushing off to listen to another exhibitor's room, working tirelessly.Many thanks Jason, for all your hard work and for all the reports from RMAF.
Another great show. Fremer always puts on a good show and I really enjoyed John's standing room only discussion on music compression in the Kimber suite.I am always struck by how friendly the high end audio community is and how different it is from the web stereotypes of same. In this show, I actually heard lots of great music and less female vocal audiophile spectaculars.Roy Gregory and Steve Elford's talk on the new Acuity measurements were fascinating. I hope we get an in-depth report from Stereophile.

Google is pretty much synonymous with search. Though in the earlier days of the web, people went different places like Lycos, Yahoo, and Altavista, it's second nature for most of us to turn to Google nowadays when we have a question or need a resource. Bing? Sorry, no.
The thing about web search, when you think of it…it's language. We ask a question and get an answer. The results can be a list, a description, a fact, a picture to describe.
Often, a search can be very helpful when we discover those pesky gaps in our students' world knowledge or vocabulary.
Most of us, including myself, probably turn most readily to the little Google field in the upper right corner of the Safari iPad app, which indeed does the job pretty handily. However, Google has been steadily improving its free (of course) Google Search app, and it now includes speech-to-text (Voice Search), regardless of the version of the iPad you are using. Additionally, depending on the type of search you are making, the app will read aloud the results (so, text-to-speech), a feature related to what Google calls its Knowledge Graph, which helps zoom in on the most important facts about real-world items. Google gives us some ideas for the types of questions that work well with Voice Search.
To see how the Google Search app can be useful in your interventions, check out this terrific contextual demo centering around one of my favorite places: Cape Cod. I need to go to there right now. *Sigh* I hate January.

Study Finds World's Protected Areas Not Protecting Biodiversity, But There is Room For Hope
Authors of study recommend protected area expansion must target areas that contain high numbers of threatened species that are currently unprotected
24-Jun-2014 3:30 PM EDT
Available for logged-in reporters only
Newswise — Scientists from James Cook University, the Wildlife Conservation Society, the University of Queensland, Stanford University, BirdLife International, the International Union for Nature Conservation, and other organizations have warned that the world's protected areas are not safeguarding most of the world's imperilled biodiversity, and clear changes need to be made on how nations undertake future land protection if wildlife is going to be saved. These findings come at a time when countries are working toward what could become the biggest expansion of protected areas in history.
The authors of the new study found that 85 percent of world's 4,118 threatened mammals, birds, and amphibian species are not adequately protected in existing national parks, and are therefore vulnerable to extinction in the near term. The new study appears in the esteemed international journal PLOS Biology.
"Our study shows that existing protected areas are performing very poorly in terms of protecting the world's most threatened species," said Dr. Oscar Venter, lead author of the study. "This is concerning, as protected areas are meant to act as strongholds for vulnerable species, which clearly they are not."
The 193 national signatories of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) made a global commitment in 2010 to increase the world's terrestrial protected area network from 13 to 17 percent by the year 2020. However, by using computer models to simulate scenarios for future protected expansion, the authors discovered that these new parks could still miss most of the world's unprotected biodiversity.
"Our findings clearly demonstrate that if future protected area expansion continues in a 'business-as-usual' fashion, threatened species coverage will increase only marginally," said Associate Professor James Watson, WCS's Climate Change Program Director and a Principle Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, and senior author on the study. "The problem is that countries tend to favour land that is cheap to protect when establishing new parks, instead of focusing on land that is important for wildlife. Cheap is easy, but we show that it doesn't do much for conserving imperilled species."
The key to safeguarding the world's most at-risk fauna and flora is to link threatened species coverage to protected area expansion, which would combine two of the commitments made by the parties to the CBD, known collectively as the Aichi Targets.
"By formalizing the interdependence of protecting both wild terrestrial areas and threatened species, we can greatly increase the chances of maintaining Earth's biological diversity for future generations," said Professor Hugh Possingham of the University of Queensland. "When these goals are combined, countries are much more likely to create new parks in biologically threatened areas, which will lead to long-term dividends for global conservation."
"There's no getting around it," concludes Venter. "Parks are simply unable to perform the important task of conserving species unless they are established with that intention in mind. If we cover 30 percent of the globe in parks using a business-as-usual approach, many threatened species will miss out. But when imperilled species are targeted, we found that many cost-efficient options emerged for including them within new parks."
The authors of the study are: Oscar Venter of James Cook University and the University of Queensland; Richard Fuller of the University of Queensland; Daniel B. Segan of the Wildlife Conservation Society and the University of Queensland; Josie Carwardine of CSIRO Ecosystem Science; Thomas Brooks of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the University of the Philippines, and the University of Tasmania; Stuart H.M. Butchart of BirdLife International; Moreno Di Marco of the Global Mammal Assessment Program, Sapienza Universitá di Roma; Takuya Iwamura of Stanford University; Liana Joseph of the University of Queensland and the Wildlife Conservation Society; Damien O'Grady of James Cook University; Hugh P.

Western militaries risk losing access to key materials
WASHINGTON — Western militaries may lose access to critical materials needed for weapons and other systems, because of the growing demand for new technologies, questionable supply lines and production in unfriendly or dangerous countries, NATO documents show.
"Key strategic materials are those that are crucial in the manufacture of sophisticated military hardware or components such as airframes, gas turbines, rocket motors, munitions, armor and electronics," according to a newly released NATO request for information. "These materials are becoming increasingly scarce."
Most troubling, the NATO report says, is that "many of these materials and products are not produced within NATO countries." Instead, they come from rival nations, such as China and Russia, or those mired in internal conflicts and civil war, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. That limits NATO's access to the metals and minerals that make up key parts of important weapons and aircraft.
Competition for these resources is also coming from a variety of developing technologies, such as alternative energy and semiconductors, which also need the same materials. For example, the metal gallium, which is used in military electronics, is also used in the burgeoning solar energy and computer fields as part of solar panels and semiconductors.
NATO says it and its partner governments have been working since 2008 to find a way to maintain access to these critical materials. Its new report cited a 2010 study outlining 41 critical materials that are at risk, including 14 with a combination of high economic importance and a high supply risk. They include:
• Cobalt. Primarily mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), cobalt is used in alloys with other metals to make gas turbines and jet engines. The DRC has been troubled by civil war and rebellion since it gained independence from Belgium in the early 1960s. At least 5.4 million people have died there since 1998, many because of preventable diseases, according to a report by the International Rescue Committee.
• Tantalum. A rare, hard, blue-gray metal that is used in jet engines, nuclear weapons and missile parts. Its non-military uses include electronics as well as medical equipment and implants. The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the world's largest sources of tantalum.
• Tungsten. The hard metal is often used in missiles and ammunition, while its non-military uses include fluorescent lighting and electronics. The world's main tungsten producers include China, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Russia.
NATO says its Collaboration Support Office wants to enlist industry officials and academic experts to create a new list of rare materials, document problems with the materials and their supply chains, analyze the risks surrounding the materials and then recommend steps to fix the supply risks.
The organization warns that the importance of the various critical materials in military technology limits the potential to redesign equipment to use other materials.

THEEsatisfaction @ 7th St. Entry
THEEsatisfaction @ 7th St. Entry
August 28, 2012
Taking the stage at the 7th Street Entry on August 28th was female-funk duo THEESatisfaction. With no other instruments besides a computer, the two surprisingly owned the stage for the entire night, largely due to their synchronized dance steps and sassy finger snaps. The two write their own beats, and have made numerous mixtapes prior to their debut album release: awE naturalE. The setlist included a good amount songs from the album as well as mixtapes and even a few new songs. Most of their songs average only about two minutes long, however each funky/soulful hip-hop jam flowed right into the next; the crowd was entranced in one continuous groove the entire time. The audience was given two encores (one may only count as half because the two never actually left the stage). It's safe to say that the people inside the Entry that night felt a whole lot closer to living in the 70s, and witnessed a performance of truly funk-ified, hip-hop inspired soul music.

Weekly Release Spotlight: THEEsatisfaction
awE naturalE
[Sub Pop]
THEESatisfaction seem to have a pretty good handle on what it takes to make the grade at Radio K. The Seattle based hip-hop duo, consisting of Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White, offer up a sound on awE naturalE that is hypnotic, diverse and expository; with lyrics that speak to anyone who happens upon the group's debut release on Sub Pop. The Seattle musicians consider their music an 'extension of themselves,' releasing songs that pose questions while addressing topics that range from "needs" to "sweat." As the divas that comprise THEESatisfaction prepare for list of shows in May, awE naturalE finds itself the focus of this week's Weekly Release Spotlight.
THEESatisfaction's debut full-length release draws inspiration from numerous genres of music, fostering a sound unlike any you'll hear on radio today. Few vocalists compare with these two; "Cat," a singer who provides a mellow stream sound through which "Stas" maneuvers, dropping lyrics that cut straight to the point. The tracks on awE naturalE are constructed with mathematical precision, weaving harmonies with beats twice looped to create a sound that is mysterious and driven. It's a Seattle sound, one that moves; similar at times to the drone of a sitar. Tracks from awE natural seem to pass unnoticed, until a new beat with a new message signifies what's up. The songs on awE natural demonstrate THEESatisfaction's keen sense of structure in music. As artists, Cat and Stas stray from typical song writing techniques, using technology to create vibe that lures one to further explore their sound.
It's difficult to categorize the THEESatisfaction, and the sound of awE naturalE, due to the pair's unique approach to making music. The upbeat tempo and variety of environments you'll encounter while listening to awE naturalE are pleasing to both the ear and the psyche. Whether THEESatisfaction is performing on the road, or creating a new sound in their living room, Radio K looks forward hearing more from Cat and Stas in the future. We also hope you enjoy this week's Weekly Release Spotlight artist as much as we have!
Written by Todd Crotty, Radio K volunteer and Rock & Roll Over host
With their mellow funk beat revival sound, Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White emerge onto the scene as THEESatisfaction. Based in Seattle, WA, the incredibly dynamic duo are not afraid to give listeners a deep, distinct dose of their Pacific Northwest style on their debut LP, awE naturalE out on Sub Pop Records. They know you like it, and they know you are going to dance whether you want to or not.
The record is full of atmospheric sounds. On the song "Earthseed" we get a melancholic piano pounding out an unsettlingly catchy melody to the slightly scattered drumbeat. The last 30 seconds of the track spit creepily politicized lyrics that match the tone of the song perfectly, with the kicker, "THEESatisfaction could give a UHHH about a fascist." Then, as if you just woke from a bad dream to find yourself at a classy salon-style party, we arrive at "QueenS", the first single from awE naturalE. The beat is almost like a calming alarm clock, followed by the words, "leave your face at the door, turn off your swag, check your bag, from you limbs to your Timbs, get down… but whatever you do, don't funk with my groove." The smartly-named "Enchantruss" sounds like the background music to a haunted rollercoaster ride. The looping, chant-like vocal back beat is accompanied by mentions of Orson Welles, time-travelling nightmares, Archie Bunker and Black Jesus. If you took the best Erykah Badu and Common records and melted the vinyl down, what you would be left with when it cooled is this collection of 13 tracks.
On the whole, THEESatisfaction drops the needle on an energetic yet smooth ride through a debut record that shows great promise and demonstrates skill and passion. Stas and Cat fill the peaks and the grooves on awE naturalE with their sultry voices, honest emotion and clever style.

Conn. man charged with threatening NY Mets
Photo: West Haven Police Department
WEST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- A Connecticut man has been charged with threatening New York Mets players, coaches and executives on Twitter postings.
Authorities say 42-year-old Aryn Leroux of West Haven also made a threat against the Mets' ballpark, Citi Field. He was arrested Wednesday on misdemeanor threatening and breach of peace charges.
The arrest was the result of an investigation by West Haven police, New York City police and the Queens district attorney's office. Officials didn't released details of the alleged threats.
Police say Leroux posted $2,500 bail. He could not be reached for comment Wednesday. It's not clear if he has a lawyer, and a phone listing for him is disconnected.

A fairly big chunk of material was cut from Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man that forever alters the origins story of Peter Parker's transformation to Spider-Man. Even though Webb has denied that he was going to tinker with original source material, this new scene between Peter, The Lizard and Oscorp henchman Mr. Ratha hints that Peter's father is the real source of Spider-Man's powers.
Bad Ass Digest has a wonderful breakdown of all the missing moments and secret buried backstory that we never got to see. And since it was cut almost entirely out of the final film, we have to wonder if the sequel will continue down the path of revealing that Peter was genetically engineered as a baby?
