CitationSettle, Jaime E., Christopher T. Dawes, Nicholas A. Christakis, and James H. Fowler. 2010. Friendships moderate an association between a dopamine gene variant and political ideology. The Journal of Politics 72(4): 1189-1198.
AbstractScholars in many fields have long noted the importance of social context in the development of political ideology. Recent work suggests that political ideology also has a heritable component, but no specific gene variant or combination of variants associated with political ideology have so far been identified. Here, we hypothesize that individuals with a genetic predisposition toward seeking out new experiences will tend to be more liberal, but only if they are embedded in a social context that provides them with multiple points of view. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we test this hypothesis by investigating an association between self-reported political ideology and the 7R variant of the dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4), which has previously been associated with novelty seeking. Among those with DRD4-7R, we find that the number of friendships a person has in adolescence is significantly associated with liberal political ideology. Among those without the gene variant, there is no association. This is the first study to elaborate a specific gene-environment interaction that contributes to ideological self-identification, and it highlights the importance of incorporating both nature and nurture into the study of political preferences.

The Celtics and Bruins each return to action tonight, each trying to salvage a season that began with so much promise. The Celtics are in Detroit to take on the Pistons, while the Bruins host the Canadiens at the Garden.
One thing I noticed today is great stories from WEEI.com. Since they're not a newspaper, they don't need to just provide "filler" stories every single day to fill space – they have plenty of filler on their blogs, but they can save their full-length columns for features that are worthy of coverage, and can fill them out as much as they like, without space or word count restraints. They can focus on getting the stories right, rather than just trying to fit them into a predetermined space.
The result for today anyway, is a set of sports stories on WEEI.com that is vastly superior to the Globe sports section today. I only mention the Globe because it still holds itself up as the Gold standard for sports reporting in Boston. WEEI.com is superior to any outlet this morning. Not every morning, but this morning, yes.
But overall, it's a pretty strong morning for local sports writing. We've got 15 main links today:
Sox caught with uncertain future behind plate – Alex Speier has a very in-depth look at the catching situation in the Red Sox organization, with profiles of the catchers are all levels.
Gary Tuck takes catching seriously – Gordon Edes looks at the man in charge of getting the catchers ready.
Smooth start for Jose Iglesias – Joe McDonald on ESPNBoston.com with a great look at the Red Sox shortstop prospect. I heard McDonald talk on NH's WGAM yesterday about Iglesias, saying how just watching him taking fielding practice was a sight to behold.
Matsuzaka has to earn back 'benefit of the doubt' – Rob Bradford has the Japanese ace in the position of having to prove himself.
Five Things We Learned in Indianapolis: Draft packed with pass rushers – Christopher Price shares some items picked up at the combine. Compare this column with the one from Albert R. Breer today. Breer's is good, but Price's is better and more Patriot-centric, which is what Patriots fans want, isn't it?
Patriots' 2003 Draft Class Continues to Shape History of Franchise – Jeff Howe on NESN.com looks at the 2003 draft, which was among the best in franchise history.
Need and opportunity line up for Pats – Mike Reiss says that 2010 might be the most critical draft of the Bill Belichick era.
Slim pickings for top-flight receivers – Shalise Manza Young looks at possible additions to the Patriots receiving unit, both in the draft and free agency.
C's seeking answers for a swoon – Paul Flannery has a look at the Celtics lack of focus and whether this team has a chance to turn things around or not.
Celtics have fallen; can they get up? – A. Sherrod Blakely with more on the troubles with this team. Are they interested in Michael Finley?
Time for Lucic, Bruins to show what they're made of – Mick Colageo has the Bruins set to begin the medal round of the NHL season.
Stretch drive: Bruins have work to do to qualify for the playoffs – Mike Loftus also has a piece on the keys for the Bruins between now and the end of the season.
Bruins poised to move at the deadline – Joe Haggerty rounds up the Bruins trade rumors.
It was Canada at its best – Bob Ryan wraps up the Vancouver Olympics.
Family tie brings joy of sport home – Jon Couture writes about watching his sister-in-law as her college basketball career winds down.
Check out Greg Doyle's Q&A With Ashland QB Bill Cundiff on Patriots Daily this morning as well.
On the downside…
Gerry Callahan has a column this morning that would've been included with the good ones above, had he just left out his final two lines. He's pulling a Shaughnessy and writing about the lack of controversy in the Red Sox spring training camp. He seems to write it as a good thing, until the end:
And it's not always going to be this way here at Camp Kumbaya. Sooner or later Francona is going to have to post a lineup card for real, and some former All-Star is going to have to hit eighth. Here's hoping he erupts like Milton Bradley.
That's pure Shaughnessy right there.
I've enjoyed Toucher and Rich continuing to tweak WEEI with the whole texting scandal.

Saverio Costanzo's thriller Private begins with a group of Israeli soldiers storming into the house of Palestinian professor Mohammed Bakri and his family, and demanding that they vacate the premises so the army can establish a sniper position. Instead, Bakri offers commander Lior Miller a deal: the army can bunk down on the top floor of the two-story residence, while the family stays on the first floor (sleeping in a single room) and provides the soldiers with cover for their covert operation. That premise sounds ready-made for allegory, but writer-director Saverio Costanzo gives it the feeling of truth by shooting with hand-held digital cameras and keeping the framing tight on the characters. Private is tense and immediate, rooted in the ongoing conflict over who owns what in the Middle East, but it's just as concerned with more universal questions about how a man should protect what's his.
Mostly, Private deals with the practical effects of home invasion. What if the family has to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night? If the soldiers tear down their greenhouse to improve their sightline, can the family rebuild it? When the soldiers leave without notice, can the family reclaim the rest of their house, or should they assume that the army is coming back? The two people most affected by the occupation are Bakri's oldest daughter and son, the former of whom sneaks upstairs to peek at the soldiers through the cracked door of a wardrobe, and the latter of whom begins imagining what it would be like to be a terrorist. While one begins to see the occupiers as just another group of goofy guys who watch soccer and bicker over clean-up duty, the other begins plotting to catch them in an explosive booby trap.
For all its documentary-style urgency, Private often feels forced. Bakri's wife chastises him with too-blunt lines like, "With all due respect to your books, my children's lives are more important," and the even-handed treatment of victims and perpetrators removes a crucial element of rage. (It's also an open question whether it's fair—or even aesthetically valuable—to set a morality play in a land where daily existence alone has ethical implications.) In a lot of ways, Costanzo's mise-en-scene tells a more compelling story than the movie's dialogue and action. From the ominous low-angle exteriors of Bakri's house to the obscured views from inside the wardrobe to the nerve-jangling final shot, Private is suffused with imminent violence, overwhelming any efforts to make a lasting peace.

Life threw me a serious curve ball the same day we got back home from our honeymoon in April. My mother came close to leaving us too early in life. She made it and things are improving little by little, but it is a slow process and during this time my family needs my attention a lot more.
Honestly, I need to be creative to let steam off and get some me-time.
This is a card and Die-cutting Technique video I made before our honeymoon for The Paper Crafting Magazine - Scandinavian Edition. I thought it about time to share it here as well.
In the video I show how to get more out of your dies.
This time it is about using a set of coordinating dies and stamps. The technique is to use the die for creating your own stencil. Then using the stencil you can make a perfect outline shadow stamping image.
This techniques works best with a combination of pigment and dye inks. The pigment ink is used for the outline shadow and the dye ink is used for the detailed stamp image.
The card is kept very simple as I wanted the focus to be on the leafs and sentiment.
As a final little touch I added a few enamel accents drops in black.
That is it for this time.
I'll blog whenever possible but not as often as usual these days.
I hope to be back in full gear soon :)

ALRIGHT – "Slim" The mystery of that tattoo??? Slim a character from Of Mice and Men. Bogart didn't call Bacall "slim" he called her by her nickname " The Look" So where is this Slim? Howard Hawks knew Bogey and Bacall. He trained Bacall to speak in a lower register. However his wife worked with Bacall too. Howard's wife was named SLIM. Slim Keith. She and her friend were the thinly veiled inspiration for characters in Truman Capote's novel answered prayers. Remember the editor of Marie Claire tweeting that she and Amber spent time together recently talking about Truman Capote? This may be our answer to SLIM. Go to this link and read/scroll to the "personal life" area. – or Johnny's tattoo could still just be from literature he loves as well.
Info on Bogey and Bacall
Bogie and Bacall – The two actors seemed like the perfect couple and I'm sure they really did love each other, but, did anyone really think that Humphrey Bogart could be totally faithful to Lauren Bacall, who was wife number four? In Bogart's case, it appears that the saying, "once a dog, always a dog" rings true.
Verita Thompson, in her book, "Bogie and Me: The Love Story of Humphrey Bogart and Verita Thompson," details the long running affair the two had during the 1940s and 1950s. Thompson, a wig maker to the stars, first met Bogart in 1942 at a wrap party for Casablanca. At the party Bogart and Thompson danced and drank the night away. It was the "beginning of a beautiful friendship" – or maybe "beautiful" isn't the appropriate word.
Bogart would continue to see Thompson after that night. When Thompon's husband at the time, Robert Peterson, was away on military service, Bogart would stop by Thompson's home in Burbank. The home was conveniently located near the Warner Bros. studio where Bogart worked, so afterwards, Bogie could visit Thompson without his then third wife, Mayo Methot, ever knowing.
What is surprising is that, after Thompson divorced her husband and Bogart divorced Methot, he would go on to marry Lauren Bacall just 12 days later. Though this didn't stop Bogart from seeing Thompson. In 1949, when Bogart left Warner Bros. to form his own production company, he hired Thompson. Thompson was a wig maker and Bogart wore a toupee. It made perfect sense for Thompson to be working for Bogart.
September 2010- Article
On the silver screen he was tough, cool and sophisticated; in real-life, one of Hollywood's legendary lovers.
Sexually voracious and habitually unfaithful, Humphrey Bogart had three unhappy marriages before he met the love of his life, Lauren Bacall.
Now it has emerged that before marrying her in 1945, Bogie had bedded an estimated 1,000 women including Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich and Ingrid Bergman – but still feared he might be gay.
The extraordinary claim is made in a new biography of the actor, best known for the movie Casablanca.
It suggests that during his second marriage to American stage and film actress Mary Philips, Bogart became riddled with uncertainty that made him impotent and question his sexuality – and even drove him to consider suicide.
The biography's author Darwin Porter, a journalist who worked in Hollywood in the 1960s, says Philips insisted on openly maintaining her previous relationships, even spending the night before their marriage in 1928 with a friend of Bogart's 'as a farewell gift'.
According to the unflattering new book, Bogart told another friend: 'If only Mary didn't make it worse. When I can't perform she mocks and ridicules me. I should never have married her.'
He is said to have confessed to another confidante to thoughts of killing himself. 'But I never get beyond the thinking stage. I just can't see myself taking a razor to my throat,' he reportedly said.
The book, Humphrey Bogart, the Making of a Legend, due out next month, is based on unpublished memoirs and interviews with some of the actor's contemporaries.
It suggests his mental turmoil stemmed from his childhood. His father, who was a surgeon, beat him and split his lip, then stitched it up so badly that Bogart was left with a permanent lisp.
He ran away to Broadway, where during the 1920s he found fame and fortune – and began his incredible catalogue of sexual conquests.
'When Broadway had around 120 theatres, there were four actresses for every available actor. No one has estimated this before, but it's likely Bogart slept with 1000 women, mostly at this time,' Porter said.
Bogart married his first wife, actress Helen Menken, in 1926. Porter claims she had 'a lot of lesbian affairs' and he was 'keeping score with her' – and even that they were sometimes both chased by the same women.
Joan Blondell, an on-off girlfriend of Bogart's, said: 'The zipper was invented in 1926. Bogie demanded one be sewed into all of his pants – sex was a lot faster that way.'
Some of his seductions were brief affairs. At a party he was marched upstairs by Dietrich, it is claimed, and his first attempt to seduce a young Bette Davis was interrupted when her mother threw him out of their house, calling him 'a slave to your genitalia'.
Bogart's marriage to Menken lasted only a year. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1937.
The next year he wed wife number three, Mayo Methot, who once stabbed him with a butcher's knife. They were known as the 'Battling Bogarts' during their seven year marriage.
Bogart found what Hollywood magazines called 'true love' with Lauren Bacall on the set of To Have and Have Not in 1944, and made her his fourth and final wife. It was a happy relationship, although he conducted a long affair with his hairdresser, Verita Peterson. Bogart died of cancer aged 57 in 1957.

And one last quote from Howard Hawks who knew Bogey and Bacall all too well.
Bacall meanwhile was 19 and practicing lowering her speaking voice under Hawks' tutelage. As Hawks later said, "Bogie fell in love with the character she played and she had to go right on playing it for the rest of their marriage."
Let's hope Paul and Chenault wake up soon.

Time Travel in Monterey
"The past is a foreign country," L. P. Hartley wrote in his 1953 novel The Go-Between, "they do things differently there." Following Hartley's thought, it is easy to imagine the past as remote, as some other, distant place, far from where we are today. But what about those moments when we find a window into the past, and look through it, and the years—or centuries—seem to dissolve? Where are we? Have we left the present? Time-traveled to the past? Or are we somewhere in-between?
Master etcher Justin Ward is a creator of such windows of the in-between, images that play with our sense of the past and present. His current exhibit at the Monterey Conference Center offers sites and scenes familiar to anyone who has walked around downtown Monterey, yet they are transformed by a mode of artistry that evokes another time.
Etching is a centuries-old technique that is time and labor-intensive, demanding incredible patience. You can't rush an etching. Ward's exhibit includes an exemplary display of tools, books, and wall text explaining the process of creating an etching, helping visitors understand that etching itself is a deep experience of time: the unhurried time needed to create this uniquely beautiful kind of art.
Clearly inspired by the Old Masters, especially Rembrandt, Ward is working in sets of images. The current exhibit focuses on Old Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf, and a set of prints created in homage to Monterey's own Armin Hansen, who also produced series of fine etchings in the early 20th century.
Ward excels at framing his images: foliage, clouds, and textured skies draw the viewer's attention into the print. In "San Carlos Cathedral," trees seems to part open, as if to reveal the divinity of the structure. In "Larkin House," the foliage is positively luxuriant, lending the building a vital, dynamic quality, almost pulsing under a generous oceanic sky.
In "Cooper Molera," the delicate clouds offer a handsome contrast to the dark graininess of the wooden barn and its densely textured stonework.
Ward's marine skies are especially dramatic. "Fisherman's Wharf Pier (Large)" balances the sweeping movement of clouds with the endless pull of the tides.
Ward uses different techniques and differently-hued papers and inks to achieve a variety of tonal effects, from soft brown or adobe colors to steelier grays, blacks and whites. In "Adobe Door," the warm tones of antique paper become a cool, white adobe wall, its darkened door inviting us to imagine what lies on the other side.
I like the way these images play with the imagination, inviting us to visualize Monterey's landmarks as places of history that traverse the ages, rooted in the past yet still living and breathing today. And there is another kind of time-travel at work here, as we are also invited to slow down our own rhythms—think of the artist's patient hand—as we take in each work. Ward's finely-detailed prints are windows into the past, and yet this is very much a present-tense exhibit, since the subjects of his attention are right outside the doors of the Conference Center, waiting to be discovered once again.
"Past, Present, Future," an exhibit of etchings by Justin Ward, at the Monterey Conference Center, 1 Portola Plaza, through April 6.

Step 1: Loading data in R
a. Import the iris data set from UCI Machine Learning repository as
> iris= read.csv("http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/iris/iris.data"), header = FALSE) Step 2: Inspecting the dataset in R b. Inspect the first few rows of the dataset use the head() as,
> head(iris)
1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa
2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa
3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 Iris-setosa
4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 Iris-setosa
5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa
6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 Iris-setosa Step 3: Getting to know your dataset
a. Inspect the data type and levels of the attributes of the dataset in R use the str() as
> str(iris)
'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5 variables:
$ V1: num 5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ...
$ V2: num 3.5 3 3.2 3.1 3.6 3.9 3.4 3.4 2.9 3.1 ...
$ V3: num 1.4 1.4 1.3 1.5 1.4 1.7 1.4 1.5 1.4 1.5 ...
$ V4: num 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 ...
$ V5: Factor w/ 3 levels "Iris-setosa",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... b. To check the distribution of the data values in a particular attribute use the table() as
# table(dataframe$attribute)
> table(iris$V5)
Iris-setosa Iris-versicolor Iris-virginica
50 50 50 c. Use the summary() to obtain a detailed overview of your dataset
> summary(iris) This will give you the minimum value, first quantile, median, mean, third quantile and maximum value of the data set Iris for numeric data types. For the class variable, the count of factors will be returned:
Min. :4.300 Min. :2.000 Min. :1.000 Min. :0.100 Iris-setosa :50
1st Qu.:5.100 1st Qu.:2.800 1st Qu.:1.600 1st Qu.:0.300 Iris-versicolor:50
Median :5.800 Median :3.000 Median :4.350 Median :1.300 Iris-virginica :50
Mean :5.843 Mean :3.054 Mean :3.759 Mean :1.199
3rd Qu.:6.400 3rd Qu.:3.300 3rd Qu.:5.100 3rd Qu.:1.800
Max. :7.900 Max. :4.400 Max. :6.900 Max. :2.500 Step 4: What to do next?
After you have attained a good understanding of your data, you have to think about what your data set might teach you or what you think you can learn from your data. From there on, you can think about what kind of algorithms you would be able to apply to your data set in order to get the results that you think you can obtain. For this tutorial, the Iris data set will be used for classification, which is an example of predictive modeling.
Step 5: Divide the dataset into training and test dataset
a. To make your training and test sets, you first set a seed. This is a number of R's random number generator.
The major advantage of setting a seed is that you can get the same sequence of random numbers whenever you supply the same seed in the random number generator. Another major advantage is that it helps others to reproduce your results.
# To set a seed use the function set.seed()
> set.seed(123)
Then, you want to make sure that your Iris data set is shuffled and that you have the same ratio between species in your training and test sets. You use the sample() function to take a sample with a size that is set as the number of rows of the Iris data set which is 150. Also you will create a new vector variable in the Iris dataset that will have the TRUE and FALSE values basis on which you will later split the dataset into training and test. You obtain this as following;
sample.split() is part of caTools package so you need to install it first if you have not done so by using install.packages(caTools). Assuming in this case, its already installed so we will now load it as
> library(caTools)
> iris$spl=sample.split(iris,SplitRatio=0.7)
By using the sample.split() you are actually creating a vector with two values TRUE and FALSE. By setting the SplitRatio to 0.7, you are splitting the original Iris dataset of 150 rows to 70% training and 30% testing data.
# iris$spl will create a new column in the Iris dataset.
Now, if you view the Iris dataset again you would notice a new column added at the end, you can use View() or head() for this
> head(iris)
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 spl
1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa TRUE
2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa TRUE
3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 Iris-setosa TRUE
4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 Iris-setosa FALSE
5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa FALSE
6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 Iris-setosa TRUE
b. Now, you can split the dataset to training and testing as given
> train=subset(iris, iris$spl==TRUE) where spl== TRUE means to add only those rows that have value true for spl in the training dataframe
> View(train) you will see that this dataframe has all values where iris$spl==TRUE
Similarly, to create the testing dataset,
> test=subset(iris, iris$spl==FALSE) where spl== FALSE  means to add only those rows that have value true for spl in the training dataframe
> View(test) you will see that this dataframe has all values where iris$spl==FALSE
Another easy method to split the dataset into training and test set is as follows;
> train= iris [1:100,] this will put the first 100 rows into the training set
> test= iris [101:150] this will put the remaining 50 rows into the test set
Numerical data in R is examined by using the summary() whereas the categorical data is examined in R using the table().
The table output lists the categories of the nominal variable and a count of the number of values falling into that category.
To calculate the proportion of each nominal variable in R, use the prop.table() as follows
> propIris=table(iris$V5) V5 column contains the three types of Iris flower
> prop.table(propIris) This will generate proportion in decimals so to change it in 100s, multiply it by 100 as
>prop.table(propIris)*100 In the next post we will see how to normalize the dataset in R so that data mining is easier to get better results.
P.S. if you want to know how to split the dataset in Weka, you can follow it on the Weka Wiki here

Hello 140s
Today, I hit a milestone in my journey. I got in my 140s! It haven't been in my 140s since I was in my late 20s–almost 10 years ago. I'm incredibly proud of myself. This past year has been an amazing journey in learning about discipline, perseverance, commitment, adaptability, and support. I am completely a different person a year ago today. A year ago today, I was indulging on sugar every day in the form of Girlscout cookies, chocolate, tapioca drinks, etc. Today, my sugar for the day is in the form of grapefruit, apples, and oranges! What a world of difference! For those who have struggled with weight issues and other health complications, there is hope! Don't give up!

The Hangover 3 Free Movie for iPad Review:
The Hangover Part III Free Movie for iPad, directed by Todd Phillips, is about three best friends (Cooper, Helms, and Bartha) and one awkward tag along (Galifianakis), going to celebrate one last night of manly freedom before one of them gets married. After a wild and crazy night they promise each other they'll never forget, they wake up the next morning unable to remember a thing–especially where the groom is. With only 24 hours to find him and get back to Los Angeles for the wedding, they retrace their steps to find out where their missing friend could be (also, how that tiger got in the bathroom).
Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers, He's Just Not That Into You), plays Phil, the good-looking, smooth-talking, frat boy who never grew up. He is our main character, the captain of the ship, steering the group from stop to stop on their blank timeline from the night before. Ed Helms ("The Daily Show", "The Office"), plays Stu, an uptight dentist whose buddies probably kept around only because he wouldn't put up much a fight when they made fun of him for being a wiener. Zach Galifianakis (Out Cold, Tru Calling, and a terrific stand-up career), plays Alan, the brother-in-law to be, invited to the bachelor party out of guilt on the groom's behalf to include him. Alan is an unpredictable wild card who doesn't seem to be all there, and comes with instructions from the bride not to allow him to drink or gamble.

Now so far, this movie sounds like a formulaic mash up of Dude Where's My Car? & Harold and Kumar– and to a degree, it is. High concept enough to sum up the plot in the title, and relying on the chemistry of its lead actors to keep us entertained and engaged through the film, it comes out of the gate with us betting against it because we've already seen this kind of movie so many times before. But there are two things that save this film from crashing before it can get its wheels off the ground. The first is the sense of off-the-cuff humor, brotherly camaraderie, and outright fun that these people are having not only as the characters, but also as filmmakers. It's something we recognize from Judd Apatow, and his crew of goofballs. Hangover 3 free movie download for iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad Mini or iPad Air. Watching any of those movies, we get the sense that some one called up all their friends and said "Hey, I just got $20 million to make a movie! Wanna go screw around on film for 4 weeks, then release it to the public?" Todd Phillips clearly has a great understanding of this tone, especially since Old School is probably the first example of it that comes to mind.

NASA closely watches Tiangong-2 launch
NASA closely watches Tiangong-2 launch. The space industry has paid close attention as China sent the Tiangong-2 lab into space. NASA is watching the Tiangong-2, as well as China's space program in general. It says the launch marks another step on China's long march to a permanent orbital outpost. Former...
China on Thursday hurled its first Tiangong-2 lab into space, marking another step forward in the country's plans to establish a permanent station by the early 2020s.
China's rapid development in space exploration within the past decade has impressed the world. Martin Barstow, director of Leicester Institute of Space & Earth Observation at the University of Leicester, told Xinhua in a recent interview that China's developing space program is another major milestone towards establishing a permanent presence in space.
"The earlier success of the first space station (Tiangong-1) shows how the program is developing and the new space laboratory will continue to add to China's status as a major space power," the professor said.
Former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao, the first Chinese-American to be commander of the International Space Station, hailed Tiangong-2 as "another significant step for China's human spaceflight program."
"China is moving in a very deliberate and orderly fashion to advance their space capability," Chiao said. "I think the technology is good, and they are moving to get more operational experience through TG-2, before the beginning of space station construction."
Barstow also spoke highly of China's space capability, saying "China is already a key player in the international space industry," and Tiangong-2 will "enhance" its well-developed space capability.
Gao Yang, director of Surrey Technology for Autonomous Systems and Robotics (STAR) Lab, said manned spaceflight is of indicative significance in space technology, and China's rapid development in this area is well-known.
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said in an article published on Thursday that "Beijing has made space exploration a national priority and is the third country, after the Soviet Union and the U.S., to put astronauts into space."
In different interviews Xinhua carried with space experts, all mentioned the need for international cooperation in space exploration. Space station programs have always been a cradle for countries to work together, Gao said.
Such collaboration has been vividly reflected in the Tiangong-2 mission, which carries, among a number of scientific experiments, an astrophysics detector that is the first space-science experiment built jointly by China with European countries.
POLAR, dedicated to establishing whether the photons from Gama ray bursts (GRBs) -- thought to be a particularly energetic type of stellar explosion -- are polarized, was built largely with Swiss funding, and with the collaboration of Swiss, China and Polish scientists and support from the European Space Agency (ESA), according to the British journal Nature.
POLAR project manager Nicolas Produit, who spoke to Nature, said U.S. law bars NASA from doing joint projects with China's space agencies, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences is discussing a number of other collaborative space projects with the ESA.
Gregory Kulacki, senior analyst and China project manager at the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists' Global Security Program, said that it is encouraging that China intends to solicit international participation in its space station project.
"My hope is that the United States and China will, at an appropriate time in the future, find a way to cooperate in the peaceful exploration of space instead of competing to turn it into a battlefield, as they are now," he said.
Chiao said international coperation is "a common point of interest that helps improve overall relationships. The International Space Station is a great example of that. Many nations came together to build the amazing facility, and we are working together to further science. This helps to improve overall relations between the member countries."
Barstow believed that more and more countries are seeing the importance of space activity but this will not turn into a race. He said that to benefit smaller economies, a growth of space activity across the world will need to be nurtured by the major agencies like ESA, NASA, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscomos) and China National Space Administration (CNSA).
China has been actively developing a three-step manned space program since the first decade of the 21st century.
The program's first mission took place in 1999 with the launch of the Shenzhou-1 to examine the performance and reliability of the launcher and verify key technologies relating to capsule connection and separation, heat prevention, control and landing.
The first step, to send an astronaut into space and return safely, was fulfilled by Yang Liwei in the Shenzhou-5 mission in 2003.
The second step was developing advanced space flight techniques and technologies including extra-vehicular activity and orbital docking. This phase also includes the launch of two space laboratories -- effectively mini space-stations that can be manned on a temporary basis.
The next step will be to assemble and operate a permanent manned space station.
China will begin building a space station that is more economically efficient and uses more data than the current International Space Station (ISS), starting as early as 2017, chief engineer of China's manned space program Zhou Jianping told Xinhua on Thursday.
With the ISS set to retire in 2024, the Chinese space station will offer a promising alternative, and it will make China the only country to have a permanent space station after the ISS. -Xinhua
China launched first 'cold' atomic clock aboard second space station
Every clock on Earth is flawed. Even science's most accurate atomic clocks are beholden to our planet's gravitational pull, and end up slowing down ever so slightly over time. That's why researchers from Shanghai decided to send one up into space.
On Sept. 15, Chinese researchers launched a cold atomic clock into orbit around Earth, where it will only slow down by one second every billion years, as opposed to every 300 million years like the current gold-standard of atomic clocks. The Cold Atomic Clock in Space (Cacs), as it is called, will likely become humanity's most accurate timekeeping device.
Atomic clocks are largely used for calibrating extremely sensitive electronics, like global positioning systems (GPS), or conducting experiments in hyper accuracy-dependent disciplines like particle physics and geology. According to the South China Morning Post, the Chinese government intends to use Cacs to improve their own national GPS, which currently operates at levels below the system employed by the US.
Atomic clocks were originally created to run on the exact measure of a second as agreed upon by the entire scientific community. Seconds used to be measured as a tiny fraction of a day. The trouble is, the average day includes a lot of variation, depending on where you are and the earth's axial wobble, caused by its magnetic poles and, more recently, melting ice sheets.
Scientists realized that the way that electrons (the tiny negatively charged particles that surround atoms) jump back and forth between different energy states in molecules or atoms, was a much more precise way of calculating a second. These oscillations end up appearing like vibrations that occur at a constant rate—as long as molecules or atoms are at a constant temperature. Since 1967, the official definition of a second has been "9,192,631,770 vibrations of a cesium 133 atom."
Laser-cooled "cold" atomic clocks are generally considered to be the most accurate clocks that exist—other clocks and watches, like the kind anyone could buy in a store, tend to slow down over time. Although it's often just a couple of seconds, that inconsistency won't do in a research setting.
But alas, on Earth, even cold atomic clocks are prone to slowing down ever so slightly. Because of the force Earth's gravity applies to atoms, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's NIST-F2 atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado will slow down by a second every 300 million years.
Cacs, which will orbit our planet gravity-free, will use rubidium atom vibrations to keep time, and will slow down much more slowly than Earth-bound atomic clocks. It's also a lot smaller—about the size of the trunk of a car, whereas the NIST-F2 takes up an entire room.
Cacs was sent into space on the second Chinese space laboratory, called Tiangong-2, launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Inner Mongolia. Although there are currently no humans aboard, the China National Space Administration plans to send two astronauts to the lab in October to conduct various experiments for a month, as the next step towards launching a full-fledged space station in 2020. - Quartz @ qz.com
China launched its second space station, Tiangong-2, from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China's Gobi desert on Thursday with the world's first "cold" atomic clock on board – representing a pivotal step in China's plan to become a major player in the modern-day space race.
Two astronauts are set arrive at the station in October where they will spend one month completing experiments. Running the Cold Atomic Clock in Space, one of 14 different experiments planned for the station's two-year orbital stint, aims to determine if escaping the effects of gravity increases the accuracy of the timepiece.
"It is the world's first cold atomic clock to operate in space ... it will have military and civilian applications," Professor Xu Zhen, a scientist involved with the atomic clock project, told the South China Morning Post.
China to launch world's first 'cold' atomic clock in space ... and it'll stay ...www.scmp.com › News › China South China Morning Post
To keep time, these clocks rely on measuring the natural vibration rates of atoms and the scientific definition of a second: 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a cesium 133 atom. China's cold clock will use a laser to slow down the atom and thus lessen the likelihood of the timekeeper missing one of the atom's rotations and introducing an error, according to the South China Morning Post. Additionally China hopes that sending the cold clock into space and freeing the timekeeping atoms from their ties to gravity will make it more accurate than other atomic clocks currently keeping time around the world and make it capable of measuring fluctuations in microgravity.
The station will serve as a laboratory for a variety of experiments across scientific disciplines that China expects to culminate in launching its own equivalent of the International Space Station (ISS).
"The launch of Tiangong-2 will lay a solid foundation for the building and operation of a permanent space station in the future," Wu Ping, deputy director of China's manned space engineering office, said during a prelaunch briefing, according to Xinhua.
China is not a member of the international consortium that operates the ISS (and isn't allowed to send its astronauts to the station), so it is planning to build its own permanent space station, which at an estimated 60 tons will be 380 tons lighter than the ISS.
China's president, Xi Jinpin called on engineers and scientists to help advance the Chinese space program at a Space Day celebration earlier this year.
"In establishing Space Day, we are commemorating history, passing on the spirit, and galvanising popular enthusiasm for science, exploration of the unknown and innovation, particularly among young people," Xi said at the celebration, according to The Economic Times. "Becoming an aerospace power has always been a dream we've been striving for."
China's ambitious goals for space exploration in the coming years include plans to study the yet-unexplored dark side of the moon, and a mission to Mars that will not only orbit the Red Planet, but land and deploy a rover. Both missions are scheduled to launch in 2020.
Dean Cheng, a Chinese space policy expert at the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C., told New Scientist that Thursday's launch is about national pride – "a reminder that China has a manned space program, including the ability to put its own astronauts into space, something the Americans cannot do [without assistance from Russia]." - Source: Christian Science Monitor
Astronauts given comfort upgrade on China's new space lab
New space lab will be equipped with Bluetooth, better lighting, sound dampening, exercise equipment and other features
China's newest space laboratory, Tiangong II, will provide more comfortable digs to astronauts living aboard than its predecessor, Tiangong I, the spacecraft's designers said.
Zhu Zongpeng, chief designer of Tiangong II at China Academy of Space Technology, said designers aimed to create an astronaut-friendly environment in every regard when they refitted the space lab that was developed based on Tiangong I.
"We considered many factors including the sound, lighting, inner decorations as well as support facilities. For instance, we installed a foldable, multifunctional table that can be used for dining and experiments. We also equipped the astronauts with Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth speakers," he said.
"A number of particulars were taken into account-the carpet in Tiangong I was replaced with floorboards. The light is softer and its brightness can be adjusted. Each astronaut has a bed lamp," Zhu added.

The Tiangong II consists of two cabins with separate functions-the experiment cabin will be hermetically sealed and will act as the astronauts' living quarters, while the resource cabin will contain solar panels, storage batteries, propellant and engines.
Liao Jianlin, a senior engineer at the academy who took part in Tiangong II's development, said the lab has about 15 square meters for astronauts to live and work, including a separate sleep section and waste storage area.
He said engineers installed muffler devices in the spacecraft to ensure its inner sound is kept under 50 decibels. Environmental controls will keep the temperature within the experiment cabin between 22 C and 24 C and the humidity between 45 and 55 percent.
In addition, Tiangong II has an air detector capable of checking for and dealing with more than 20 hazardous gases and microbes.
Furthermore, designers placed exercise equipment in the space lab such as a treadmill, exercise bike and acupuncture point massager to help astronauts keep healthy, according to Liao.
He said its communications systems also allow astronauts to receive and reply to emails and make calls to family and friends.
Space lab to cross five-year mark.
China's space lab Tiangong-2 may serve for more than five years and co-exist with its first space station, scheduled for completion around 2020, an expert at the space programme said.
China successfully launched Tiangong-2 on a Long March-2F T2 rocket, blasting off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the northwest Gobi Desert on Thursday.
With a designed life of two years, Tiangong-2 was originally built as a backup to Tiangong-1, which completed its mission in March, said Zhu Congpeng, chief designer of Tiangong-2.
"But we expect Tiangong-2 to serve for more than five years given the introduction of an in-orbit propellant technique for the first time," Zhu said.
In April 2017, China's first cargo spaceship Tianzhou-1 will be sent into orbit to dock with the space lab, providing fuel and other supplies.
"If the fuel-supply experiment goes well, we will become the second after Russia to master the in-orbit propellant technique," Zhu said.
While in space, the 8.6-tonne space lab will manoeuvre itself into orbit about 393km above Earth surface.
"As it is higher than past space missions, the Tiangong-2 will be more cost-effective and have a longer lifespan," said Zhu. — Xinhua
Beyond bordersThis is the space station that China is installing in Neuquen, Argentina. The station will begin operation in March 2017 and will allow the tracking of different missions to space that the government is planning in the coming years, according to official sources.

Essay # 1
Independence of Latin America
When I learned about the independence of my country, Mexico, I remember questioning why all of the sudden all the countries in Latin America (including Brazil) decided to fight for independence at the same time. The communications system were not as sophisticated as nowadays. In this essay I will show that in the case of Spanish Latin American countries there are three outside elements that influenced their independence. The Brazilian independence shares two of those elements but they also have a third outside element. This essay is not about the internal causes of the Mexican Independence.
Please allow me to use a visual aid to try to get my point across. I will compare the independence movements with trees whose seeds are the enlightenment ideas (liberty, equality, democracy, freedom), and whose fruits are the benefits that the people receive from the tree. As any other tree it needs outside care in order to grow strong and produce good fruit. To have a great tree we need a great seed, great soil, good fertilizer, remove bad weeds etc.
The comparison might be exaggerated but it was useful for me to have a mental map, and visualize better the outside elements of the Independence movements of Latin America. I apologize if I cause more confusion but if you are like me, a visual learner I think it will be helpful.
Outside Element # 1: The seeds of Freedom from the Enlightenment thinkers.
The enlightenment ideas of freedom, democracy, equality and liberty were born in the minds of great thinkers. Great minds such us: Isaac Newton, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu, designed revolutionary ideas, that challenged the status quo of the society of their times. They wrote their new ideas trying to "reform society using reason (rather than tradition, faith and revelation) and advance knowledge through science. [they] promoted science and intellectual interchange and opposed superstition, intolerance, and abuses from the Church and state."[1]
The ideas of liberty, equality, freedom and democracy can easily be embraced by most people, except if your status is challenged by them. The monarchies in Europe had been enjoying great privileges and were oppressing their people for their benefit. The gap between the monarchies and the rest of the people was huge. Besides that the monarchies had new possessions, the American and African colonies. With the new colonies they had acquired in America and Africa their benefits were even bigger and their power was almost total, they could dispose even of the lives of the slaves in the colonies.
If you compare the enlightenment ideas with seeds, even if the seeds are of great quality they must find great soil to make a good combination. You could have the best seed but it won't grow in the Sahara Desert, not because the seed is not good but because the soil is not good.
In the colonies the soil was ready; the people felt oppressed, even the creoles (children of Peninsular Spanish) felt that they were not given equal opportunities. The seeds were planted first in the minds of the educated creoles, and they were in charge of plant those seeds in the minds of the natives, not by giving them books (they were illiterate) but by forming rebels groups, and stir them up against the Spanish. For example in Mexico Padre Hidalgo was an avid reader of Montesquieu, he embraced the ideas because he felt (as other creoles) that they deserve to be given the opportunity to occupy the highest ranks of the army, the government, and the Church. Padre Hidalgo really cared for the natives, always tried to educate them and taught them (planted the seeds of freedom)[2] and finally organized them against the Spanish government. It is agreed that probably Padre Hidalgo did not want the independence but for sure he wanted equality for the creoles .
Outside Element # 2: Pulling out the weeds
Any growing tree that is small and weak can be threatened by weeds around them. The weeks can even kill the trees. A very important factor that helped the independence movements to grow is the invasion of Napoleon to Spain and Portugal. When Portugal did not comply with some treaties with Napoleon, in 1807 Napoleon invaded its territory. Under the excuse of a reinforcement of the Franco-Spanish army occupying Portugal, Napoleon invaded Spain as well, replaced Charles IV with his brother Joseph and placed his brother-in-law Joachim Murat in Joseph's stead at Naples. The Spanish people of course decided to fight the Napoleon invasion and both army and civilians united fought together in the Dos de Mayo Uprising [3]
So, Portugal and Spain had to spend in their efforts to contain the French invasion. They used both money and men in their attempts to resist the invasion. This event, of course is easy to understand how the rebels in the colonies would have receive courage and new motivation to fight for their independence. They could easily conclude that since the Spanish government is using their resources to fight Napoleon, then they were weakened and there would be a chance to defeat them.
Outside Element # 3: The Cadiz Constitution; the best fertilizer.
A fertilizer is something external that gives nutrition to the internal parts of the tree.
In 1812 one Cortes (assembly) issued the Constitution of 1812, or the Constitution of Cadiz. This constitution was very liberal and reduced the power of the Catholic Church drastically. We have to understand that the Catholic Church was extremely powerful. If we remember the inquisition time, we would understand that the Catholic Church was owner not only of the education (or lacked of it) but also of their consciences, they own more than half of the real estate of Mexico, they had "banks" that controlled the sale of indulgencies. In 1814 the Cadiz constitution was abolished but again in 1820 was restored. According to Luis Villoro, a Mexican Historian, in 1820, when the constitution of Cadiz was reinstated was when the independence of Mexico was decided. The Mexican Catholic Church did not want to suffer what the Spanish Catholic Church suffered in Spain. So, Matias Monteagudo (a Catholic Priest) conspired (with other who were against the Cadiz Constitution) and persuade Iturbide to change sides, and help the rebels to achieve the independence of Mexico. The Padre Matias Monteagudo, promised Iturbide to be the first emperor of Mexico.[4] So, the idea of Matias Monteagudo were far from the enlightenment ideals, but to kept the power of the Catholic church in Mexico. We can say that he succeeded: Mexico became independent (hence Mexico did not have to abide to the Cadiz Constitution), hence The Catholic Church remained as one of the greatest powers in Mexico, and Iturbide became the Emperor of Mexico.
Fortunately the DNA of the seeds was there and pushed out any other ideals. Iturbide was overthrown and a democratic government was installed.
I did not cover the independence of Brazil, because in general they had the same pattern: "Educated Brazilian Students of this era returned to Brazil carrying Exciting new ideas and recent publications that circulated in a wider circle"[5] So, the Brazilians craved to have liberty, equality etc. The difference is that the son of the King of Portugal was the one who wanted the independence. He had been raised in Brazil.
The fertile soils of the Americas were ready to receive the seeds of the ideas of liberty, freedom and democracy. Napoleon weakened Spain and Portugal, giving space to breathe to the fledging plant. The Constitution of Cadiz gave the strength to actually conclude the independence. The fruits that were produced are fruits of opportunities. In the minds of the Spanish the native were inferior, but the natives were now given the chance to have access to education, and to climb the social ladder. In 1847, only 36 years after the independence of Mexico, Benito Juarez, and native Zapotec became the Governor of Oaxaca. And ten years later he became the First Indigenous President of Mexico. Benito Juarez is a great example of the fruits of the tree of independence. When the independence movement started, he was 4 years old and did not even speak Spanish. He spoke Zapotec. He did not learn Spanish until he was twelve years old. Only one month after the independence of Mexico (October 1821), he enrolled in a Catholic Seminary. He considered to be a Catholic priest but decided to study Law. The rest is History. Of course the Latin American countries have other challenges now, but they are better off than before the independence movements.

The Red Sox may have a Jacoby Ellsbury clone coming up through the minors.
Boston prospect Jackie Bradley Jr. has been a star in his brief pro baseball career, posting numbers that harken back to Ellsbury's minor league days. Tom Caron and Matt Stairs discussed the outfielder's pro potential and where he might fit in with this Red Sox team.
Stairs said he may not have the power that Ellsbury possesses now, but his excellent arm could push the current Sox center fielder over to a corner outfield spot.
To see what Bradley had to say about his progress this year, check out the video above.

I took this photo while flying from Newark to Ottawa a few weeks ago. I was actually over Berry's Creek, west of Lyndhurst when I took this picture, but at that height, you see a few miles off your flight path even if you look "straight down". This picture shows Interchanges 16 & 18 of the Noo Joisey Turnpike. The rightmost edge of the picture barely shows one set of tollbooths, and the white line across the highway in the lower right is the other set. See the dotted white line going through that tollbooth, curving around to the right and then back to the left? That's the line of trucks heading for the Lincoln Tunnel. You can't even begin to see the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel. This is just the line heading towards it.

I took this photo while flying from Newark to Ottawa a few weeks ago. I was actually over the New Jersey meadowlands when I took this picture, but at that height, you see a few miles off your flight path even if you look "straight down". You can see Governors Island, Ellis Island below it, and to the right is Liberty Island, home of the Statue of Liberty.

Hike starting Tue Apr 26 13:22:25 2005
7.45 km 24456.07 feet 4.63 mi 9505.00 seconds 158.42 minutes 2.64 hours 1.75 mi/hr
Went looking for more of the Clifton Iron Mine Railroad. They only operated it for a few years, because the rails were made of wood. They later put iron straps on the top, but that didn't help much. It created its own hazard when the strap curled up and penetrated the car from below. It can be a bit of a challenge to follow, because they used many trestles. They had a more-or-less infinite supply of trees, and earthmoving equipment was primitive at best.
The railroad went on the north side of the river until slightly east of the "BM 975", at which point it crossed the river. It proceeded to cut across a bend in the river, went on a trestle past Twin Falls, and then turned up the creek. Almost immediately up on turning due south, it goes onto a trestle to go over the creek. There's a very short section where it crests the hill that is a railbed. I have a photo of four strips of mossy soil which could be nothing other than the remains of the ties. Southward from there, it goes through a wetland on a trestle. I walked through a mostly clearcut stand of (former) timber, and peeked across the wetland to see if there was any trace left. Nothing. I'll have to go looking for it south from there on another trip.
Have to find a way to get across the Grasse river at Stewart Rapids, because most of the hike was just getting to the railbed. Maybe I could put my electronics into a watertight package, and swim across. Later .... when it's warmer. By the way, the (reputed) tornado last summer must have touched down (at least) exactly where it says "Stewart Rapids" on the map. There was an incredible amount of blowdown at that point. I couldn't say if it was circular because of a tornado or linear because of a wind shear/microburst. The Adirondacks has a tradition of wind shears, but not much in the way of tornados.
When a railroad tie rots in place over a hundred or so years, does it leave a pit? Or does it leave a mound? Richard Palmer (the railroad author) and I are having a disagreement. He says that the Clifton Iron Company's railroad ties rotted away, leaving holes where the rails were. I say that the ties fed plants, which grew into and around the ties, preserving their shape. I was convinced that I was right, but then I looked at the picture I took (below) of a side view of a pair of ties, it could go either way. Same thing for the picture below it, which shows snow melted off the peaks and remaining in the valleys. I'll have to go back and look again.

I believe that it's a good thing to be searched at airports. I will often make little comments like "Well, the taxi driver took my bag out of the trunk" when they ask "has anybody else handled your bags". Or, I'll carry scary-looking electronics (all purchased at your friendly neighborhood Radio Shack). That's a guarantee that you will get the special treatment. You see, the more people who desire the special treatment, the fewer people they will search who don't want the special treatment. The incentives all line up, and when they do, you can't stand in their way.

A public good is something which is non-rivalrous and non-excludable. The first critera, non-rivalrous, implies that users of the good are not rivals. Your use of the good does not interfere with my use of the good. The second criteria, non-excludable, means that if the good is provided for one, it is provided for all. Radio stations are a public good. Your reception of the signal does not interfere with my reception of it, and if you get to receive it, so do I. Lighthouses are also a public good. We can all see the beacon, and if I'm able to see it, I can't stop you from seeing it. All information in digital form is a public good; whether in the form of music, movies, books, or software.
Public goods can be underproduced relative to other forms of goods because of the difficulty of deriving revenue from public goods. In order to prevent that from happening, creative works receive a monopoly for a limited amount of time. It used to be the case that a copyright had to be claimed and secured. Under the Berne Convention, however, all works are born copyrighted even if the author is anonymous and makes no effort to restrict distribution.
Buried in Innovation, Information Technology And The Culture Of Freedom: The Political Economy Of Open Source, I noticed the term "anti-rival[rous]". They make the excellent point that software is not merely non-rivalrous. It is anti-rivalrous. That is, your use of it not only does not compete with mine, your use of it helps mine. Thus, I have an interest in promoting the software that I have written. I also should promote software that I have not written, but instead merely use. If you use it too, the author will be compensated by more fame, and more people will contribute to the project. It will have greater vitality as more people use it.

Went up to Clarkson to talk to Sazonov. Fought a fierce (20mph) headwind most of the way, with blowing sand in my face. Yuck. Still, a bike ride is a bike ride, so I can't complain.

Just went down to Hannawa Falls, instead of waiting for the car's oil change. Rode for a little bit on the Red Sandstone Trail just north of Hannawa. Also rode back behind Clarkson to look at the northernmost remains of the Hannawa Falls railroad. I keep dreaming about restoring the trestle that carried the railroad across the Racquette River. It would be excellent to have a rail-trail which people could ride all the way from Potsdam to Hannawa Falls. I don't ever expect that to happen, but I can dream about it.

I took this photo while flying from Newark to Ottawa last week. I was actually slightly south of my mother-in-law's house in Glens Falls when I took this picture, but at that height, you see a few miles off your flight path even if you look "straight down". I was looking slightly south of west to get this picture of West Mountain Ski Area. You can see that even on April 9th, they still have snow, although it's a little patchy. Well, maybe a lot patchy, but in the east, you take your patchiness with your spring skiing.

I took this photo while flying from Newark to Ottawa a week ago. I was just a little bit north of Lake Placid (the lake, not the town) when I took this picture, but at the height jets fly, you see a few miles off your flight path. I was looking almost exactly west to get this picture of Saranac Lake. In the forefront of the picture is McKenzie Pond. The cleared area to the left is the Olympic Village, where the athletes were housed during the 1980 Winter Olympics. Above that are various lakes. From left to right, you have Ossetah Lake, Kiwassa Lake, Lower Saranac Lake, and Colby Lake, all still iced over except for Ossetah Lake where it winds its way into the village. The village proper is directly above McKenzie Pond.

Just a ride "around the block". That is to say, I went for the shortest possible ride taking every left turn. Yes, my "block" is almost ten miles in circumference.

I took this photo while flying from Newark to Ottawa. I was actually slightly south of the Bronx Zoo when I took this picture, but at that height, you see a few miles off your flight path. I was looking almost exactly south to get this picture of La Guardia airport. The photo is centered on the main terminal building. In the upper left corner you can see Shea Stadium (home of The Mets, the best baseball team in the American League, of course). In the lower forefront, you can see Rikers Island. In the background is Queens. If you look very carefully, you can see an airplane in final approach to runway 31 (on the left).

Not a cloud in the sky. Temperature in Massena given as 55, but the local thermometer (in the sun) says that it's 70. The temperature is actually somewhere between the two. Am having a bit of trouble with my left ankle. Might be that I'm holding my leg incorrectly as I pedal, or it might be that the new bicycle's cleats are mis-adjusted. I'll need more experience to tell for sure. One problem I have definitely corrected is my knee soreness. I used to get sore knees after about thirty miles of riding. Then Leslie corrected my posture, saying that I should keep my knees over my toes. I noticed that I pedalled with knock knees (pointing in). Since she told me that back in October, I've pedalled with knees aligned with toes and had no problems.
Longest ride of the season. Peepers are out. No buds on the trees yet. Daffodils are up, but no blossoms yet.

In today's (4/3/2005) strip, Mort Walker has one of the Beetle Bailey characters (Plato) go off on a libertarian rant. Hooray Plato (Mort, actually, of course)! Each paragraph is a separate panel in the strip:
Communism failed because it was against human nature. People want to be rewarded for their work. They want to own what they earn.
You can call it selfish if you want, but "self" is the center of the universe. Even giving voluntarily to others is "selfish" in a way because you "get" a good feeling in return.
Dictators take power promising to help the people but soon are only helping themselves. There's a bit of the dictator even among elected officials who use their powers for their own interests.
Maybe the best system is to keep turning our officials over before they turn on you. Too long in power allows too many opportunities for corruption.
People are more productive with fewer laws and restrictions. Even good laws have flaws and room should be left for exceptions, because everyone is different with individual needs.
My own feeling about his paragraph/panel 4 is that while the officials change, typically the staff members do not. Legislation is complicated and extensive enough that the staff members end up doing the research, writing the bills, making the decisions, and suggesting the vote. We don't vote for those people. No, I think the best solution is the one that the Constitution was designed for: a central state with a small set of enumerated powers, with all other decisions left to the states. If people can retain their citizenship, and simply move from state to state, those states which are poorly run will lose their citizens.

We've added five new board members to the OSI board, and Eric Raymond has retired to become the President Emeritus. Danese has the full list.
The daffodils of spring are poking above the soil. No yellow yet. The next sign to look for is peepers over in the wetland next door.

Usually a chiropractor can do it with just his or her hands, but on occasion a tool like a lever might be used. This suggests that you commonly won't get instant pain relief in a type of pain medication.

Drupal Module Updates via iPhone Push Notifications
If you've looked after a Drupal website for any length of time you'll know that you should regularly update modules, themes and most importantly the Drupal core as-and-when updates become available — security updates, at the very least. The Update Status module (now in core) is great for summarising what needs updating (if you haven't enabled that module, you really should do), but if you really want to stay on top of those updates then there's a fairly simple way in which you can get them sent to your iPhone (or indeed iPad) as a push notification. Here's how. First, you'll need to download Prowl from the App Store — at the time of writing it costs £1.79, or $2.99 in the US. Next up, you'll need to create an account on the Prowl website. Then, you will need to generate an API key — you can create as many of these as you wish, and there's no additional charge for doing so. As you can see from the screenshot below, the API Keys tab shows any existing keys, and the form at the bottom is used to create a new one — all you need is a note to remind yourself what it's for. Enter something to do with the site you're adding, e.g. "My Drupal Website" and hit Generate Key
Next up, you'll need to download and install the Drupal module. You will then need download and install the ProwlPHP class as instructed by the README — download it from Github and then place it in a directory (within the module's directory) called ProwlPHP. Setting up the Drupal module is pretty straightforward; simply navigate to Site Configuration → Prowl push notifications and you'll see the following screen:
As you can see, you simply need to enter the API key you created earlier and then select which notifications to receive — Modules with security updates only, or All modules with updates. That's it — your Drupal website should now send you a push notification when updates are available. Of course, in a way this is a fairly trivial example of using push notifications with Drupal — if you wish to receive notifications for other purposes, the module plays nicely with actions, or you may wish to dig into the code and look at
prowl_send_admin_notification or
prowl_send_any_user_notification. An additional module also ships with the Prowl Drupal module for assigning Prowl accounts to individual users, and you may wish to look at the Messaging Framework integration. If you come up with any imaginative ways of using push notifications in Drupal, do let me know in the comments.
