Individualized Early Childhood Education
On Monday, I continued a physics project with my kids aged 9-11 in science class to build floatable, cardboard boats displaying an understanding of buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle. The kids were in the middle of making their boats when some of the groups began running out of duct tape, so I temporarily halted construction and decided to play musical chairs in the empty room next door. Ten minutes later, we returned to our science class to find that three of the boats had been destroyed, punctured with holes. Mohammad stood next to them with a pair of scissors in his hand. He stormed out of the classroom, yelling that I should have let him steal tape from the other groups.
On Tuesday, the kids took their finished boats to the park and floated them. Afterwards, they played on the swings and slides of the playground. I left for a few moments to help my volunteer clean up the area where the kids ate ice cream.
I came back to find that Mohammad had tried to attack another child, screaming that it was his turn to go on the swings. I found out from intern Adam that Mohammad had just been on the swings, not allowing other children to share. Mohammad stormed off.
On Wednesday, the girls in my class joined Doris' class on a trip to the pool, leaving me with just my five boys and three volunteers. It gave me the opportunity that I had been waiting for all summer. The opportunity to sit down with Mohammad and patiently address his quick jumps to anger, encourage him to analyze the situation instead of make assumptions and to simply hear about him and how he was feeling all the while trying to help him understand that it was not acceptable to steal from other children, to physically or verbally abuse anyone, or to shirk personal responsibility.
And he listened. He spoke to me, explaining how he felt when he was angry, how he didn't know how else to respond. We talked through it, slowly looking at other options. Sure, he didn't transform into a calm, slow-to-anger person in two hours, but he began to see that there were alternatives.
I grew up in the public education system of California and it is still shocks me how my teachers were able to teach me anything with twenty to thirty children wriggling around impatiently. Cut that class in half, and the teacher's ability to do his or her job increases. Cut that class in half, and the child has a chance to be heard. Cut that class in half, and you have education reform.
Cut that class in half, and you have the opportunity to sit down with Mohammad and show him the alternatives to anger. That's what I learned from Mohammad, and it's something I believe is absolutely necessary to improve early childhood education. Personalized education, personal development. A voice in the midst of chaos.

good riddance
Perry says he will retire, but doesn't rule out another presidential run. Well, I'm glad he's not running, but the bad news is Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. a republican, will most likely run. He's just as conservative, but a little smarter.
So far no democrat stands out from the crowd to run for governor. Yea, I know about Wendy, but so far she's just a blip on the radar. Also Texas is still too red to elect a democrat.
check the 2010 numbers - if 25% of female Rs voters seitch frim R to D
Wendy will win
Not a chance in hell Wendy can win a Texas governors campaign. She was a flash in the pan. It seems people outside Texas noticed her more than Texans did.
At the moment I'd guess Attorney General Greg Abbott will be Texas next governor. As far as I know, no democrat has even hinted they would run.
While Abbot is the obvious front runner Rs, Wendy just "shown up".
Lets see what happens in 6 months.
A key to her success may be how the news reports how the clinic closings & restrictions actually affect REAL texass women.
I don't need to hedge. Republicans still own Texas. Possible gun restrictions got more public interest than abortion.
For whatever it's worth, the abortion bill passed today will probably never get enacted. It violates Roe .v Wade. The courts will overturn it.
Damn. The abortion bill gained four votes after her filibuster, so I think you might be right.

Because I lead many workshops around the world, photographers often ask via email: "What's the difference between a photography tour and a photography workshop?"
Before I get going here, photo tours are great . . . for those who want to go on sightseeing tours. Workshops, like the ones I lead, are designed for photographers who want to grow and expand their creative vision.
My response:
Workshops: Designed to get you the very best shots from dawn to dusk. Getting up at 3 AM is no prob.
Photo Tours: Leave at 9 and set your day around meals.
Workshops: If you are driving and see something good, stop and shoot.
Photo Tours: Keep on driving.
Workshops: Usually cars or 4W drive vehicles.
Photo Tours: Bus tours.
Workshops: Hands-on training - daily - by the instructor or instructors.
Photo Tours: You are on your own.
Workshops: Photo reviews almost daily.
Photo Tours: No reviews.
Workshops: Photoshop and Lightroom advice and help.
Photo Tours: Computers are not even required.
Workshops: Group slide show.
Photo Tours: Only show is to show up for dinner.
Workshops: Leave on-time for sunrise.
Photo Tours: Who cares if you are late?
Workshops: Briefing on each location as to lenses, settings, etc.
Photo Tours: Very little suggestions by leaders.
Workshops: Instructors ask you how you are doing.
Photo Tours: Leaders are there only as tour guides.
Workshops: If you find something really cool to photograph, the groups changes plans so all can get great pictures.
Photo Tours: Get to the next stop.
Workshops: Instructors share their shots on their camera's LCD monitors so others can see and learn.
Photo Tours: Instructors are often fist on the spot.
I hope to see you on one of my workshops someday. See this facebook page to see the work of some of my recent students.
If you plan on shooting in Death Valley, here's my gear reco list.

With an epic chassis and the lowest center of gravity in the business, there's plenty for enthusiast to love about the Scion FR-S. Except, that is, for those who prefer to take their nimble, affordable sports cars with the roof down. Their choices are rather limited in this price category to the Mazda MX-5 and Ford Mustang, but if the latest reports prove accurate, the FR-S – which is, of course, virtually identical to the Subaru BRZ and sold overseas as the Toyota GT 86 – is preparing to throw its hat in the ring, as well.
Long rumored, a convertible version of the jointly-developed "Toyobaru" coupe could stand to boost sales figures and help the bean-counters justify the expenditure on the new platform. However while the speedster concept recently showcased at Long Beach lost its rear seats (along with most of its windshield), Car and Driver predicts that the FR-S convertible will keep the auxiliary pair in the back – though the addition of a folding roof mechanism would likely mean that would come at the expense of most of the trunk room.
We're told to expect the FR-S convertible to arrive sometime late in 2013 or early in 2014, with a price tag that would tack a few grand onto the coupe's $25,000 MSRP. Look for the same 2.0-liter, 200-horsepower boxer four to carry over with a choice of six-speed transmissions in either manual or automatic configurations. Beyond that, Toyota may be considering basing a larger four-door sedan and coupe off the new platform, which could stand to make the money men back at headquarters – to say nothing of the enthusiasts – even more happy.

Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II
Swift and accurate A3 inkjet
The print-quality design aims for this machine have been well realised. By adding in the red and green inks, Canon has produced a machine that gives very natural colouring for both landscapes and portraits. There is little noticeable hue shift in any of the prints we produced, compared with the original colours.
Big and square and bordering on ugly
Detail levels are very good and the machine succeeds in reproducing detail from shadows well. In some printers these dark shades veer to black, giving muddy detail and reducing the overall fidelity. The one problem we did notice was on one of our A3 prints, where there was a hint of banding in a particularly blue area of the sky.
With eight inks to keep topped up, you'd perhaps expect this to be an expensive printer to run. However the photo colours and red and green are used primarily to tweak the main tints and should yield thousands of pages each. Even so, using Canon's yield figures for 15 x 10cm photos, produced a cost of 20p per print, which is on the high side, even when compared with other Canon printers.
If you need to print photos larger than A4, the choice comes down to Canon, Epson or HP. Their A3 and A3+ models produce good, multiple-ink colour images, but the accurate colours and fast print speeds of the Pixma Pro9000 Mk II must put it well up the shortlist. ®

Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison says around a dozen asylum seekers at the offshore processing centre on Nauru are intimidating others to protest against their detention on the Pacific island.
Mr Morrison's comment came after he recently returned from a visit to Nauru.
He said a group of less than 12 were involved in organising protests at the immigration facility.
"There are people there who are trying to bring the place down, that is their intent," Mr Morrison told Sky News on Sunday.
"It is largely an Iranian group, which is a small group within the facility."
Mr Morrison said the group "disrupt and intimidate" others living in the facility to join the protests.
Construction work on a permanent facility on Nauru was set to begin in the next few weeks.
The new centre will accommodate 900 people, up from around 400 in the temporary facility.
"The facility they will build I don't think will be a facility for the long-term for someone to spend several years on the island," Mr Morrison said.
He said it came down to resolve, and boats would continue to arrive in Australian waters unless the government changed tack on its policies.
Outstanding issues included the reintroduction of temporary protection visas, turning the boats back where it was safe to do so, and a single-minded focus on deterrence within the region.
The coalition's measures of turning boats back would apply to Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
"I wouldn't be taking that policy to the next election if I didn't think it could be done," Mr Morrison said.
"In the event that boats got all the way to Australia, it is our policy to intercept them before they cross the sea border and arrange for their transfer back to Sri Lanka."
Mr Morrison said he and shadow foreign affairs spokeswoman Julie Bishop would travel to Sri Lanka for meetings with government officials at the end of January.

There are a number of cases
There are a number of cases here. If you are using a translated version then you can follow the example of a translated book given in the 'Book' section of the library's online referencing guide (or if not a book, adapt one of the other reference types). If you are using the original version, and the original language uses the Latin alphabet, then just reference it as a normal book (or journal article etc) with the original title as the title. The difficulty arises when the original does not use the Latin alphabet. Generally speaking, you would use transliterated versions (that is, convert from the original alphabet into the Latin alphabet) of the authors' names, titles, and other details. Sometimes (very rarely, really, but occasionally for example in Chinese) it can be important to keep a record of the original characters. Do this (in the reference list only!) by placing the Chinese (or other) characters directly after the transliterated ones (for Chinese, this would normally be Pinyin), with no punctuation between them. You'd only do this for the authors and, very occasionally, for the title; not for other details.
For all the cases above, the in-text reference would always be (Author(s) Year) where the author names are transliterated if not in the Latin alphabet - no original characters in-text!

The New York Police Department is testing new technology that can detect concealed guns from afar.
The device is small enough to fit inside a police car or on a street corner where gun violence is common, Rocco Parascandola of The NY Daily News reports.
It works by testing for terahertz radiation, which is the natural energy that both people and inanimate objects emit.
"If something is obstructing the flow of that radiation, for example a weapon, the device will highlight that object," NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday.
The NYPD hopes to deploy these devices soon, but Kelly said that there are still "a number of trials to run" before that actually happens.
Here's an image of what the device would show:

Wannabe drivers are failing their theory tests scores of times with one woman being unable to pass a record 110 times, it has been reported.
The woman, who was not named but is from south east London, has the biggest number of failures under her belt, but is followed by many more including a 30-year-old man from Peterborough who has had 86 unsuccessful attempts.
A 41-year-old learner from Birmingham eventually passed on his 80th try but a 27-year-old man from Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, has still not managed to get enough answers right after 64 efforts.
Those wanting to drive a car or ride a motorcycle must pass the driving theory test before booking their practical exam - which is itself hard to get through.
The theory test has two parts - one made up of multiple choice questions with the other a hazard perception section.
At £31 a time, undergoing multiple attempts does not come cheap.
The figures were published on the Mail Online following a Freedom of Information request to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).
A DVSA spokesman told the website: "It is essential that all drivers demonstrate they have the right skills, knowledge and attitude to drive safely.
"The driver testing and training regime tests candidates' ability to drive safely and responsibly as well as making sure they know the theory behind safe driving."
Last week it emerged that a 24-year-old woman holds the record for failing the practical part of her test the most times.
She finally passed after her 24th attempt and was one of eight Britons to have racked up at least 20 tests by the end of last year, according to figures obtained from the DVSA by the Press Association.

Currently holding down the number one spot in the country on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the radio-friendly Bruno Mars collaboration "Nothin' On You," B.o.B is definitely Hip-Hop's latest artist du jour—The Cat's Meow, if you will.
The rapper's just-released Rebel Rock/Grand Hustle/Atlantic Recordings debut, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, features a plethora of talented guests. Hayley Williams of Paramore, T.I. & Playboy Tre, Lupe Fiasco, Janelle Monae, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, Ricco Barrino, and Eminem all make appearances. The album also contains the skillful production of some of the industry's finest beat-makers: B.o.B himself, Crada, Dr. Luke, The Smeezingtons, Jim Jonsin (who's actually responsible for discovering B.o.B), Lil' C, Alex da Kid, and Polow da Don. Early predictions for B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray have industry insiders believing "it will sell between 80,000 and 85,000 units based off the disc's one-day sales," therefore landing atop The Billboard 200.

Mideast expert Aaron Miller keynoting student Israel conference
Event drawing students from 15 universities
Aaron David Miller, a longtime Middle East adviser to Democratic and Republican secretaries of state will be the keynote speaker Sunday, Jan. 27, at a metropolitan area-wide student conference organized by Brandeis Visions for Israel in an Evolving World (bVIEW).
Miller, who currently is vice president for new initiatives and a distinguished scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., served as senior adviser for Arab-Israeli negotiations and deputy special Middle East coordinator for Arab-Israeli negotiations, among many State Department posts.
His commentary and analysis is frequently featured in major print and broadcast media, and he has written four books on Middle East problems and American foreign policy.
"He has served under so many secretaries of state," says Professor Shai Feldman, director of the Crown Center for Middle East Studies, "he is one of only a small number of people who've actually been there" during efforts to resolve the region's conflicts.
Feldman said that Miller "is a very bright, very thoughtful guy," and that his most recent book, on failed efforts to resolve the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians "gets at what made key people tick."
As of Jan. 21, more than 200 students from 15 universities in Greater Boston, including activists in virtually all Israel-centric organizations, had registered for the conference.
While Miller, Feldman, Professor Ilan Troen of the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies, Professor Tova Hartman of Bar Ilan University and other scholars from the United States and Israel will speak, "the conference is completely initiated by students and it is for students," says Chen Arad '15, one of the organizers. Most of the talks will be followed by small group discussions facilitated by Brandeis students trained for the occasion.
"We are not trying to promote an agenda," Arad said. "What we are trying to do is bring people from all over the map for a real discussion – which we think has been lacking – of what is wrong with the way students talk about Israel, why there isn't a real conversation, and to move on from that to our visions of the future."
Erica Shaps '13, another organizer, has been deeply involved in Jewish life on campus during her undergraduate years, and is majoring in Islamic and Middle East studies. But until now, she says, "no [Israel-oriented] campus organization worked for me."
Her friend Sarah Geller '13 was president of the Brandeis-Israel Public affairs Committee, but she, too, despaired at polarization and partisanship of the numerous groups that laid claim to being pro-Israel.
The two women, Shaps recalls, were sitting in Einstein's with Arad and his Israeli roommates "talking about Israel – what they thought as freshmen and what we thought as juniors – when the idea started churning."
The idea – to change the dynamics of campus discussions of Israel – led them to form bVIEW last semester. After holding a series of well-received programs on campus, they decided to attempt the area-wide conference, which Shaps calls "the culmination of the beginning of this initiative."
Shaps is one of the trainers of facilitators for the discussions. They are concentrating, she said, on how to create a safe, comfortable space for an on-topic, productive, meaningful conversation.
"We want to have a conversation that is vision-oriented, instead of stuck on traditional talking points," she says.
Geller played a key role in securing the keynote speaker. She initially met Miller at a meeting of the America-Israel Public Affairs Committee, and renewed the acquaintance last summer when she had an internship – arranged through a Hiatt Career Center fair in Washington – at the Woodrow Wilson center.
The bVIEW initiative, Geller says, has given her renewed energy after her earlier disappointment.
"The goal is to bridge the gap between starkly different political views," she says. "I really think it could make a difference."

There is some unwritten statute of limitations on how long one can whine about a crappy childhood, a negligent parent, a few too many chicken pot pies, summers with the grandparents, days spent on Greyhound Busses and with dubious caregivers and creepy neighbors. There is just a moment in an adult's life when the complaining and sad-sacking about how our parents got divorced, or lost custody, or bailed, or otherwise stank up the joint is just kind of pathetic. Let's face it, that moment had come and gone for me.
Then I had a child myself, and twinges of pain in that amputated leg known as my relationship with my mother started to send fiery jolts into my nervous system. I thought I would get a do-over (as opposed to my childhood, which was a do-under), but instead I got something unexpected: when my son was around 18 months old, I started to freak out. Whatever it is that made her look at the job of motherhood the way an angry teenager views a Friday night shift behind the Frialator, whatever she had, maybe I caught it.
This is the day, I would think, driving my toddler to daycare, or swinging him at the park, or slipping a Grover t-shirt over his giant, blond head, this is the day it happens. This is the day I start to suck at this. This is the day I start to hate it. This is the day of reckoning, when I realize that I've been judging my mom for not enjoying my company or any part of raising me, but I'm no better. And this is the day the symptoms start manifesting in me. This is the day I realize that while I see other mothers having moments of both great struggle and magical, indescribable delight, I will only experience the former, because there are just some bullets you can't dodge.
When I started to panic about my ability to be a parent, it wasn't about physically being there, or providing, it was about something else, it was about the ineffable ability to enjoy my child, because as sure as I won't forget the phone number of Haystack's Pizza down the street or the smell of the back of a city bus during Indian summer, or the look of abject boredom on my mom's face across the dinner table, I won't forget the feeling of being a tedious wretch, a burden that was ruining everything.
Here's where having an okay childhood rescues you. Most new moms, I gather, realize early on that the venture isn't wholly exalted.
They catch on to the reality that normal might mean 17 thrilling, awe-inspiring minutes in a 12-hour day of parenting. Kids can be annoying, they can dawdle, they can cry uncontrollably at what to us in nothing (the green cup is dirty, here's the yellow one, see you in 27 minutes when you have come back from the brink of insanity). They can be scary, flying off couches and spiking high fevers. They can be, as a matter of course, a bit dull, unless watching the same video of a garbage truck dumping a bin of trash into its hopper repeatedly on YouTube is somehow gratifying for you.
It was about a month into my panic when I turned the ship around. And by the ship I mean my Honda. My son, on the way to daycare, uncharacteristically moaned from his car seat, "Don't want to go to school."
We pulled over into the parking lot of an Albertson's. I stared back at him.
"Want to ride train," he said. A tear fell onto his puffy coat.
That was the moment, wedged between a meth-head blasting classical music from his station wagon and a Mini-Cooper glinting in the sun, that I became not a women running from a fear that she will fail at parenting, but a woman running toward one simple day at the mall with her baby. And off we went to the indoor mall in Sherman Oaks with the Ladybug train that runs past the chain stores all day long. Phoning daycare to say we wouldn't make it, cancelling any plans I had for that day, I knew that nothing could make me happier, and in knowing that, I was at least partially free.
If I love being with this boy, even just to share a Wetzel and ride a rickety indoor train for hours, if I love this more than anything else I could possibly imagine doing today, than I can stop worrying. If I had been playing tag with the bogeyman that was "turning into my mother," this was one very small, yet somehow enormous, "NOT IT."
No one in my family is sentimental, and I think that's okay. I don't have a baby book for my son, I didn't keep track of when he got his first tooth or tricycle.
That's why lately, pregnant with my second boy, when I have syrupy thoughts about the baby I can only just now feel moving and kicking, it's like a million cars turning around in a million parking lots. I love you already, I think, as I rub my hand over my stomach. Sappy. However, when I find myself thinking that this little being is good company already, and enjoying him even now, before he is born, I feel myself turning and turning in the right direction.
In a way, it's not about my own mother anymore. I may not honor her, specifically, but as I think about that commandment I think the best I can do is to honor motherhood in general, and I can only do that by letting myself get better at it as I go. It's on me now as it has been for a very long time.
It's on me to know that sometimes it's okay to be less than thrilled with the minutiae of motherhood, the ordering of diaper cream online, the scraping of uneaten carrots from an Elmo plate. It's okay.
As long as there are days, and they will come when I can't predict them, when my main function in this life is not to drive my babies forward, but to turn them around. If I can find supreme usefulness in sitting on a train to nowhere, just staring at my baby as he stares into the world, just taking him in and letting the smell of his hair and the feel of his chubby hands fall into the pages of the baby book in my mind, I am not just avoiding becoming my mother, I am getting to stop at all the stations she missed. "All aboard," says my son to the mall conductor. All aboard.

By Cathy M. Fuller
The ASBMB community was deeply saddened by the recent death of Journal of Biological Chemistry Associate Editor Dale Benos. He was an esteemed colleague and a dear friend to many. Benos served as chairman of the University of Alabama's department of physiology and biophysics.
Dale J. Benos, who died suddenly Oct. 7, a week after his 60th birthday, was born in Cleveland, Ohio. His father, who had mixed Greek and Czech heritage, was a railroad worker, whereas his mother, whose family was of Italian ancestry, was a beautician.
After briefly considering a career as a professional baseball player, Dale elected for the decidedly less glamorous path of a physiologist, a choice that nonetheless yielded significant prominence.
After parochial school, Dale attended Case Western Reserve University, where he carried out laboratory research as an undergraduate, bringing him and another student, Pete Cala, to the lab of Bodil Schmidt-Nielsen, the daughter of August Krogh and one of the great comparative physiologists of the 20th century.
Under Bodil's guidance, and that of postdoctoral fellow Robert Prusch, Dale embarked on his first formal scientific research: studying osmoregulation in freshwater hydra. That work, and a summer fellowship in 1972 with Bodil at Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory in Maine, resulted in a lifelong interest in the mechanisms underlying whole body salt and water homeostasis. This led Dale, by degrees, from studies in erythrocytes, frog skin, blastocysts and principal cells of the renal collecting duct to his most recent work on the ion-transport pathways involved in migration and proliferation of glioma cells.
At MDIBL, Dale met Dan Tosteson, who became his doctoral adviser at Duke University. The early 1970s at Duke were remarkable for the collection of young, enthusiastic scientists involved in physiological research, including Sid Simon, Ramon Latorre, George Somjen, Toshio Narahashi, Bob Gunn, Clint Joiner, Bob Balaban, Dave Shoemaker and Peter Lauf, along with John Parker, Art Finn and Luis Reuss just up the road at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Added slightly later to the mix was Dale's friend from Case, Pete, who was a postdoc in Tosteson's lab.
Tosteson, who could reduce students and postdocs and, as Dale later said, even long-established chairs of physiology departments to quivering masses of jelly by the pure force of his intellect, jointly supervised Dale and Pete, although he passed on responsibility later to Laz Mandel, who became one of Dale's lifelong mentors and friends.
During this period, Dale published the first of numerous studies on the effect of the diuretic amiloride on sodium transport after being prompted to do the experiments by Sid Simon, who had attended a seminar on the drug. Inhibition of transport by this compound has since become one of the hallmarks used to characterize voltage-insensitive sodium channels.

In 1978, Dale joined Harvard Medical School as an Andrew W. Mellon scholar in reproductive biology, and his work focused on the mammalian blastocyst; although his research into sodium transport in frog skin and erythrocytes continued, the latter was something of a personal achievement for someone who hated the sight of blood!
The preimplantation rabbit blastocyst undergoes dramatic changes in Na+ permeability and volume during development, and elucidating the mechanisms involved in this process occupied Dale and colleague Bob Balaban for most of the early 1980s. Dale then began to focus on the Na+ channel itself.
With Sarah Sariban, Latorre, Mo Burg and Lori Olans, Dale isolated the amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel from an amphibian renal cell line A6. Incorporation of the purified protein into a lipid bilayer and the demonstration that this protein formed an amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel resulted in the 1984 publication of a seminal paper in Nature. Subsequent papers in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Biochemistry and the Journal of Biological Chemistry, as well as a landmark review co-authored with Haim Garty, described the isolation and characterization of a mammalian Na+ channel complex.
At Harvard, Dale recruited his first graduate student, Juan Reyes, to work on metabolism and transport in spermatozoa. Their finding that gossypol, a component of cottonseed oil, could block oxidative phosphorylation in spermatozoa, and the potential role of gossypol as a male contraceptive, led to an article by Good Housekeeping magazine, an achievement of which Dale was quite proud!
In 1985, he joined the University of Alabama at Birmingham as an associate professor and remained there the rest of his career. He was appointed full professor in 1987 and chairman of the department of physiology and biophysics in 1996.
He continued work on the mammalian Na+ channel and later on ENaC, using bilayers, patch clamp and biochemical approaches. This expanded to include studies of epithelial chloride and sodium transport in the airways, of the effects of the HIV envelope protein gp120 on function of the Na+/H+ exchanger and of the role that glutamate efflux from astrocytes might have on neuronal death and cognitive deficits in AIDS patients. His recent research focused on the role of Na+ transport in glioma cells and was spurred, in part, by illness in his family and the death from a stage IV brain tumor of his friend and mentor Mandel.
A committed and proud member of the American Physiological Society, he served as president in 2006. He continued to be heavily involved in the APS until his death.
Dale had a passion for teaching, a legacy from Tosteson, an inspiring, if slightly terrifying, teacher who instilled the importance of lifelong learning, reiterating earlier advice from Dale's parents and grandparents.
Dale could make the somewhat dry topic of membrane biophysics interesting and fun, enlivening lectures with videos, demonstrations and interviews with notable physicians and scientists, jokes and, occasionally, cookies. He recently invited students to use Twitter during class to ask him questions or make comments. He also gave out pens advertising the UAB Center of Clinical and Translational Science, for which he served as director of educational programs. This had an unexpected effect on his 60th birthday, when his freshman medical school class tweeted him birthday wishes and presented him with numerous pens. His teaching ability was naturally recognized by multiple university- and student-based awards.
He also advocated for scientific communication, serving as editor of the American Journal of Physiology – Cell Physiology for six years, starting in 1990, and later as chairman of the APS publications committee from 1999 to 2004. He joined the Journal of Biological Chemistry's editorial board in 1989 and became an associate editor in 2006. He was justifiably proud of this appointment and encouraged everyone to submit their best work to the journals with which he was involved.
Dale was also a fierce athletic competitor, occasionally deserting houseguests early in the morning to play pick-up games of basketball; on finding himself on the wrong side of a best-of-three challenge, his fellow players would be dismayed to find that the game had suddenly changed to a best-of-five or, worse, a best-of-seven competition. He played fast-pitch softball and was pleased when, on a departmental outing to a Birmingham Barons game, he was asked to throw the first pitch, and one of the pro players noted the ball had "popped."
He also was a fan of Formula One racing; his Italian heritage and admiration for innate ability led him to support the Ferrari of Michael Schumacher. One of his fondest office accessories was a scale model of Schumacher's car picked up on one of his trips to the U.S. Grand Prix.
Meanwhile, Dale also found time to coach his daughters' softball teams and, once they entered high school, to help with their cheerleading squads. Without question, his greatest passion was for his wife, Kim, and his daughters, Kaitie and Emilee. He is survived by them and his two brothers, Wayne and Rick. He also is survived by an extended scientific family who grieves the loss of an outstanding colleague, mentor and dear friend.
Below, we offer reflections from several of Benos' friends and colleagues.
We were all deeply saddened by the terrible news. All of us who had any contacts with Dale were always so impressed by his scientific and administrative competence and his wonderful personality. As an associate editor, he did excellent reviews, combining his extensive scientific knowledge with his respect for each author, acknowledging how much work went into each manuscript. On a personal note, I considered him a close friend.-- Herb Tabor, editor of the Journal of Biological Chemistry
Dale was an exceptionally energetic and thoughtful AE. He will be much missed.-- Norma M Allewell, Journal of Biological Chemistry associate editor
We at ASBMB/JBC were lucky to "steal" Dale from the American Physiological Society, where he had led the society in many ways, including as president. To ASBMB/JBC, he brought intellect, energy, fresh ideas, humor and serious engagement with our mission of service. We will miss him a lot.-- Robert D. Simoni, Journal of Biological Chemistry associate editor
Dale had an infectious enthusiasm for life, which made his death such a shock.When he became an associate editor of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, he brought this same energy and enthusiasm to the activities of the journal. We will miss him as a colleague and as a friend; a man such as Dale cannot be replaced.-- Richard W. Hanson, Journal of Biological Chemistry associate editor
Dale was always upbeat and an absolute pleasure to work with. Dale was a member of the Journal of Biological Chemistry family, and we lost a friend, colleague, and partner to staff, authors, editors and reviewers. I could always count on Dale to make me smile, and, when I think of him now, I do just that. He enjoyed teaching and being an associate editor, and he always talked about his girls and wife with affection.-- Nancy Rodnan, American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology director of publications
Dale Benos' passing is a terrible shock and a great loss to the JBC community. He has been a devoted and energetic associate editor, and we will miss him greatly.-- Joan Conaway, Journal of Biological Chemistry associate editor
As chairs of departments of physiology, Dale and I had many enthusiastic discussions about the journal and its impact on biological sciences. He had a special perspective from his service as a previous editor of another journal and involvement in publication affairs in addition to his scientific and administrative experiences. His valuable advice on many occasions was peppered with novel ideas on how to make things better. That was Dale, so good at making things better.-- James T. Stull, Journal of Biological Chemistry associate editor
From the moment Dale joined the Associate Editors of the JBC, he was an interactive and truly valuable member of the team. He drew on his extensive experience in other venues, and his enthusiasm and positive attitude led to excellent suggestions and important contributions to the Journal. He will be sorely missed.-- Judith S Bond, Journal of Biological Chemistry associate editor
Dr. Benos had such an incredible way of lighting up a room as soon as he entered it. His enthusiasm for the journal and deep affection for his family were an inspiration. He truly cared about people and always took the time to ask how you were doing. His wonderful energy and spirit will be greatly missed.-- Jeanne Gladfelter, ASBMB editorial office manager

Stirling Prize jury comments are always revealing, writes Rory Olcayto
When jury member Mark Jones, a former director of the V&A, says there are a couple of buildings 'we already know won't win', we can be fairly sure he's talking about the Olympic Stadium and New Court.
The Populous stadium proved a fine stage for the London Olympics, but Jones and his colleagues won't let teary-eyed memories of the 'Mobot' and Usain Bolt get in the way of assessing its architectural merit. I doubt even jury chair Nicholas Grimshaw, who you might think would have sympathies for its engineering-led design, would argue insistently in its favour. With its conversion looking more pricey by the day, he would surely question its legacy credentials, which were so essential to shaping its look and feel. It had a fine time in the spotlight this summer, and rightly so, but no clear-headed judge would rate it Britain's best.
While OMA's New Court for Rothschild bank plays clever games with the City Of London's townscape, especially its relationship with the Bank of England, which Rothschild's directors can look down upon from their 'skyroom' – the jury will shy away from rewarding bankers. When Joseph Rykwert called it a symbol of Britain's oligarchy during AJ's debate on the RIBA Award winners in July, New Court's fate was sealed.
Jones goes on to say that there are 'two that are clear frontrunners' and choosing between them will be tough. Of the four remaining, the Hepworth Wakefield, the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, the Sainsbury Laboratory for the University of Cambridge, and the Maggie's Centre in Glasgow, which ones could he mean?
Surely not OMA's Maggie's. In some ways it is more accomplished a design than the Dutch firm's work for Rothschild: it's more thoroughly architectural (Pringle Brandon's fit-out for New Court detracts from that project in this regard) and has a more daring plan. The looped corridor layout of Maggie's gives shifting perspectives on the landscape beyond, but also moves away from the kitchen-centred plan the typology had previously focused on. But a Maggie's has won before, for the not-as-good Ivan Harbour design in 2009. Jencks' project doesn't sit well with the RIBA's outlook either: architects are not selected through competitive process and they don't get paid for their work.
Jones can't mean Stanton Williams' Sainsbury Lab, even if it sends a message that architecture can affirm the strength of British scientific research. This argument is wrongheaded. Scientific talent is not so much drawn to smooth render and York stone paving as it is to the best equipment and the best scientific minds. CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider and where staff accommodation is bog standard, is proof. And at five grand a square metre, the architectural achievement at Cambridge looks less convincing.
We can assume Jones' closing comments, that 'the Stirling Prize remains important to the public' and buildings that fight against 'spirit-sapping' townscapes to assert the primacy of good architecture are valuable, refer to the Hepworth and Lyric. In this respect, these are his two 'clear frontrunners' and yes, 'choosing between them is going to be difficult. Very. Yet if I was on the jury, I'd vote for O'Donnell + Tuomey's Lyric. Why? Because John and Sheila's work deserves to be recognised at the highest level (this is their fourth building to be shortlisted). And because making good public architecture in still-divided Belfast is more important than making good public architecture in Wakefield. When there's little to split them architecturally, these kind of points matter.

Wayland Voters Network (here) and, subsequently, the Town Crier (here) have written about allegations of voter fraud at Town Meeting. The suggestion these articles make is that in some cases couples were attending Town Meeting, getting two handsets, and when one of the spouses left, the remaining spouse might have voted on two handsets. This would be against voting rules, as each person is only allowed one vote, and there is no proxy voting.
Wayland Voters Network wrote:
This is interesting phrasing because not only was there no "irrefutable" evidence, there is no evidence at all.What was new this time was widely observed fraud made possible by Wayland's three-year-old -- and widely praised -- system of electronic voting. This is what a significant number of voters reported seeing and concluding:
Families would arrive together, each registered voter receiving a handset upon checking in. Some of the spouses then left, perhaps with their children. When a vote was called for, the remaining spouse would vote on more than one handset.
One voter was photographed with three handsets by his side, and was then seen turning in three handsets as he left the building. Others were observed with two handsets partly shielded from view. So far there is no irrefutable evidence, such as cell phone video, showing anyone actually operating more than one handset during a vote.
No one reported actually seeing anyone voting two handsets. The Town Crier article reports this, when they write: "No one reported actually seeing a voter click on multiple handsets during a vote."
That voters might have two handsets "partly shielded from view" is typical WVN phrasing. Shielded from what? Shielded from another voter who isn't sitting immediately nearby? That implies to me it was more likely that there was an obstructed view of the spying on neighbors that was going on, than that the voter was attempting to obstruct the view.
That a voter might have multiple handsets by their side is meaningless. My own seat might often have had two or possibly even three handsets on it - if I got up, my neighbors on either side, I bet without even thinking about it, would often take advantage of the empty seat in a crowded area by depositing their handset onto the empty chair. If I left my own, which I would if it was for a short trip up, there would be three handsets on my seat. Was this photographed? What would it prove? I think it serves only to prove that some people don't like to hold their handset.
The Crier reports this:
Note that it was after Article 27, not Article 26, that a large number of people left. Moderator Berry commented on it at the time, and asked people to leave quietly. Video that shows attendees in the Field House is consistent with this (see waycam.tv for video of night 4 of Town Meeting at 1:59.30)At the last session of Town Meeting, a Wayland police officer came to the moderator's podium to report a case of possible proxy voting – one person using more than one electronic handset to cast multiple votes – after a vote had been taken on a controversial article.By the time the police officer spoke to Berry, many proponents of the previous article had left the building and debate on a subsequent article was in progress.Some residents have questioned the validity of the vote at the Town Meeting session where the possible proxy voting occurred."I was one of the people who saw it," said resident John Flaherty on Wednesday night.Flaherty reported that after the vote on Article 26, a large number of residents, and all of the children in attendance, left the room.
The WVN article attributed their allegations to exactly no one, using their usual techniques such as attributing comments to "a significant number of voters", or using the passive voice ("one voter was photographed").
The Crier article quoted only one person who asserted they had seen anything, and that was John Flaherty.
Since I found these articles lacking in balance, I turned to the Police Chief and asked him what he understood about what had happened. I wrote:
He responded:I understand that it was you who informed the Moderator of a complaint regarding a voter having multiple handsets during Town Meeting - I wonder if you could tell me anything about the extent of the complaints. Were the complaints about one individual, or a small number of individuals, or were they more widespread? Did you actually witness fraud yourself?
I'd appreciate any information you can provide. I'm not interested on information on any specific individuals - just generally what you were aware of.
So again, nobody has said they saw, or has any evidence that anyone voted multiple handsets. The vote counts, which went down some after Article 26 and more after Article 27 are perfectly consistent with what you see when you view images of the attendees on the video of the evening.Actually, it was Officer Hanlon that went up to the Town Clerk and Moderator after it was reported to him by one of the workers at the front desk that there was a rumor that some people in the bleachers had multiple handsets. He told them of the complaint. He observed one gentlemen leaving with two handsets. He questioned the man, who stated that his wife went out to their car and he was dropping off both handsets.
I spoke to two individuals, one stated that she had heard rumors of people with multiple handsets and the other said that he had seen people with more than one handset and that he had a "blurry" photo of someone with more than one handset. My impression from this gentlemen was that he had seen more than one instance of this, but not a large number. No one reported that they had witnessed the same person voting more than once on an article, using different handsets.
I never witnessed anyone with more than one handset myself. I reported these allegations to those people responsible for electronic voting and later to members of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk.
Do I think that there might have been some people, young people or old, newcomers to Town Meeting or veterans, who voted on two handsets? I've always thought this might be possible. I have never observed it. It is a flaw with how we have implemented electronic voting. Implementers, I think, were concerned that people would disapprove of electronic voting if they had a time consuming checkout procedure, and they made the (in retrospect) mistake of opting for convenience over security.
I certainly think it's possible that people could be unaware of the rules regarding proxy voting, and support reminders to attendees that they only vote their own handsets. I also think the ELVIS committee should revisit their policy regarding non-checkout of handsets when people leave. Perhaps they could have people either sign out if lines are long (and then have tellers deactivate their handsets) and/or turn in their handsets if they leave before the meeting adjourns. Certainly, no need to have people wait in a lengthy check-out line after adjournment.
But do I think there was widespread fraud? No, I don't. Do I think the brand of journalism employed to make it sound like there was widespread fraud is irresponsible? You bet I do.

Miami Heat outlasts best effort from Sacramento Kings, extends winning streak to 12
If this truly was the final visit of Sacramento's purple and white to Miami, then thank you, Kings. What a game to remember the good times of that organization before likely getting shipped off to Seattle by what appears to be greed and folly.
It took two overtimes, but the Heat defeated the NBA's lame-duck team 141-129 on Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena for its season-high 12th win in a row. Most likely, the Kings will be in Seattle next season as the second coming of the SuperSonics. If so, their last trip to Miami was a memorable one.
Led by 11 points from LeBron James in the second overtime, the Heat outscored Sacramento 17-5 in the final five-minute session. James corralled the Kings' final shot of game with about four seconds to play and passed the ball across the court to Wade. Theatrically, Wade set the ball on the court and rested his foot atop the sphere. Finally, it was over.
"I couldn't wait to get to the locker room and get some ice on me," Wade said.
James finished with 40 points, eight rebounds and 16 assists, and Wade had 39 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in what turned out to be one of the most exciting games in Miami this season. It was the Heat's first double-overtime game at home and second overall. Miami is 5-1 in overtime games this season.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called James' final statistics "video-game numbers." He had 15 points, four rebounds and five assists in the two overtime periods.
The Heat's win streak is its longest of the season and only two shy of the team record. For Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, the exciting finish didn't gloss over an obvious reality of the game. For the first time since a road loss to the Pacers at the beginning of February, the Heat didn't play well.
"It's wasn't until the last four minutes of regulation and overtime before it became a serious ballgame and we were able to respond," Spoelstra said.
A from-behind block by Dwyane Wade of Marcus Thornton on a breakaway swung momentum in the Heat's favor in the final overtime period. Moments later, James drained a three-pointer in transition to give the Heat a 131-127 lead. James drilled a 20-footer on the Heat's next possession, and a dunk by Chris Bosh off a pick-and-roll with James gave Miami a 10-point lead with 1:29 left.
"We'll take it any way we can get it, but for the most part we know we are able to play a lot better," Bosh said. "Our standards are a lot different than other teams."
Bosh had 15 points, including six in the first overtime, to go with eight rebounds. He had a chance to win it with 0.4 seconds left in the first overtime but air-balled a wide-open, midrange shot at the buzzer.
It wasn't the first opportunity for the Heat to put away the Kings in the first overtime. Just before Bosh's miss, James air-balled a point-blank layup with 2.1 seconds left. James complained loudly about not getting a call on the play and seemed to ride that frustration into the second overtime, turning it into motivation.
It appeared James was fouled by Kings center DeMarcus Cousins on the play.
"There was a little frustration," James said. "I felt like I got fouled. I got fouled at the end of the first overtime. The second overtime was when I was able to pick it up and lead us offensively and just kind of take over the game."
Reserve Marcus Thornton led the Kings with 36 points, going 11 of 18 from the field and 8 of 12 from three-point range. Thornton made his final three-pointer with 3:51 left in the second overtime before Miami pulled away.
The Heat led 112-104 with 1:39 left in regulation but was outscored 8-0 from there to send it into overtime. With his team ahead 112-110 with 19.8 seconds left in regulation, Wade missed a pair of free throws that could have given Miami a two-possession lead. Instead, a layup by Cousins sent to the game into overtime.
Cousins finished with 24 points and 15 rebounds. Tyreke Evans had 26 points, going 11 of 19 from the field.
It was an entertaining game after the Heat's first-half malaise lifted. Miami shot 55.4 percent from the field overall compared with 51.6 percent for the Kings.

Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research
(IJLTR) was launched with the intention to make quality research output available for scholars in the field of language education. IJLTR is an open access academic, scholarly peer-reviewed journal and follows a double blind review policy. The Journal is scheduled for publication semiannually, in January and July, with the first issue to appear in January 2013. The journal team (and in particular the advisory board) is made of internationally renowned scholars in the field of Applied Linguistics and L2 education. As such, both our contributors and readers come from across the world.
Aims and Scope:
The main focus of the Journal is on research done on language learning and teaching. We are in particular interested in research papers on L2 education (in particular EFL/ESL), in public and private contexts, in natural and classroom settings as well as in a variety of levels including school level, university level, institute level, etc. The Journal welcomes papers on teaching and learning any component of language, including skills and sub-skills, as well as teaching/learning translation, literature, etc. Research on the use of new technologies such as CALL and MALL for teaching/learning languages is also considered appropriate for this Journal.
Although the focus is primarily on research on language education, we will also consider papers in other areas of applied linguistics such as language testing as far as they have clear implications for language teaching/learning. Reviews of literature are not acceptable for this Journal; however, status papers by experts in the field are called for as long as explicit implications are drawn in favour of language teaching and learning. Reviews of recently published books on language education are also accepted for publication. Contributors are advised to consult the Journal office before doing/sending a book review.
Call for papers:
The Journal calls for unpublished original manuscripts to be considered for publication. The papers submitted to the Journal should not have already been published elsewhere except circulated as conference presentations, nor should they be submitted simultaneously to another journal. For author instructions and how to submit, select submission guidelines from the menu at the top or click here.
Potential book review contributors (with the experience of reviewing books for other journals) are advised to consult the list of books recently published by Cambridge University Press and Routledge at the following addresses and inform the Journal editor (firstname.lastname@example.com) of the title they would like to review. Arrangements will then be made for the publisher to send a review copy to the reviewer's address.

Golden Globes co-hosts and BFFs Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are set to reunite on the big screen for the upcoming Universal comedy "The Nest," according to a Showbiz 411 report.
Poehler and Fey will play adult sisters who suddenly learn that their parents have put their house up for sale to move into a condo. With the deal about to close, the two siblings decide to spend one last wild weekend at home.
Fey, who has been trying to up her film game since "30 Rock" went off the air last year, was previously announced as a star and producer. Poehler is set to join her in both capacities, the report said.
"Pitch Perfect" helmer Jason Moore will direct the movie from a script by Paula Pell, who worked with Fey and Poehler on "Saturday Night Live." Production is scheduled to begin in June in New York.
Fey and Poehler have developed strong chemistry on the screen in recent years and solidified a reputation as one of the premiere modern comedy teams. The pair slayed as Globes hosts the past two years, earning praise from critics and viewers and drawing an average of 20.9 million viewers at the most recent ceremony in January, the biggest audience for the show in a decade. The two will reprise their hosting duties in 2015.
They also served as cast members on "SNL" at the same time, from 2001 to 2006, and have appeared together twice on the big screen, in "Mean Girls" and Baby Mama."
"Mean Girls" has become something of a cult classic, though the film featured Fey and Poehler in supporting roles. (Fey also wrote the script.)
In 2008, "Baby Mama" put them front and center, with Fey playing a career-minded woman who wants to have a baby and Poehler as her trailer-park surrogate. Though the film earned lukewarm reviews, it took in a respectable $60 million and established some modest box-office appeal for the duo and was clearly also a lark for them to work on. It was only a matter of time before they returned to the, er, nest.

Story highlights
- Ruben Navarrette: New survey reveals attitudes on Latino, Hispanic designations
- He says most with Latin American roots prefer to identify with their countries of origin
- But he says when they're harassed as a bloc, they unify; for example, on immigration
- Navarrette: Latinos should put aside petty labels, concentrate on big issues that affect them
What's in a nombre?
Apparently, for some Latinos, er, I mean Hispanics, it matters a lot. When researchers asked a group of people with roots in Latin America what they wanted to be called, they got a variety of responses.
According to a new survey by the Pew Hispanic Center, the preferred term for many is "Hispanic." People prefer that word over "Latino" by a two-to-one margin, 33% to 14%.
But the study also revealed that most Latinos/Hispanics (51%) don't use either term and couldn't care less what they're called.
Also, in a fascinating trend, the survey found that for those who want to affix their own label, the first preference is tied to an individual's country of origin or that of their parents. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed said they describe their identity by using country of origin.
Surprise. Come to find out that we're not "Hispanics" or "Latinos" after all. We're Dominicans, Cubans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Nicaraguans, Salvadorans, Brazilian and a couple dozen other possibilities drawn from this hemisphere. The more specific, the better.
According to the survey, only 24% of respondents said they use catchall phrases like "Hispanic" or "Latino." And in a finding that will almost certainly rattle the nativists, even fewer -- only 21% -- say they typically describe themselves simply as "American."
What does all this mean for the fastest-growing ethnic group in the United States?
Aside from Madison Avenue advertising firms, government bureaucrats and the political parties, it shows not many people seem to be all that fond of all-encompassing umbrella terms like "Hispanic" and "Latino."
There is no Latino/Hispanic voting bloc or even one central experience that these people are all going through in this country. The concept of Latino/Hispanic unity is probably overrated, as we are reminded whenever there is an outbreak of ethnic infighting.
Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. The U.S. Latino/Hispanic population tends to close ranks whenever it feels attacked, harassed or marginalized, as with the immigration debate. That issue more directly impacts Mexicans and Mexican-Americans than, say, Puerto Ricans and Cuban-Americans.
And yet, in Congress, you see Puerto Rican and Cuban-American lawmakers pushing for comprehensive immigration reform. Perhaps this is because they understand that much of the ugly rhetoric on the other side is aimed at all Latinos/Hispanics -- not just Mexicans and Mexican-Americans -- and that we're all in this together.
In fact, the same is true for Americans in general. We may look different, but many of us are living essentially the same lives. We need to spend less time trying to label each other, and more time looking for opportunities to empathize with one another and work together for the common good.
No one asked me, but, when it comes to ethnic labels, here's my preference: "I don't care."
The 50.5 million Latinos/Hispanics in this country have many more important issues to deal with. This is the Dickensian era for America's largest minority, representing both the best of times and the worst of times. When Latinos/Hispanics aren't being pursued by marketing agencies and Fortune 500 companies hungry for a slice of more than $1 trillion in annual buying power, they're being hounded by nativist mobs, racist politicians and the perpetrators of hate crimes. It is all mixed together.
Amid all these challenges, politics and government aren't usually the solutions; more often, they're part of the problem. Those on the left should be concerned that President Obama, a Democrat, has deported more than 1.2 million people, most of whom were Latino/Hispanic. Those on the right should worry about mending fences between Latinos/Hispanics and making the Republican Party more inclusive before it goes the way of bell bottom pants.
And with all this happening around them, it's foolish for Latinos/Hispanics to get passionate about the labels that others slap on them.
What they are called is a petty concern. Calling for respect, calling attention to their issues, and calling out injustice wherever they see it: These are more important battles to fight.
Let's get to it.

"The trap of data, numbers, statistics, and charts"
Maria Konnikova, from "Humanities aren't a science. Stop treating them like one" at Scientific American's Literally Psyched blog:
Every softer discipline these days seems to feel inadequate unless it becomes harder, more quantifiable, more scientific, more precise. That, it seems, would confer some sort of missing legitimacy in our computerized, digitized, number-happy world. But does it really? Or is it actually undermining the very heart of each discipline that falls into the trap of data, numbers, statistics, and charts? Because here's the truth: most of these disciplines aren't quantifiable, scientific, or precise. They are messy and complicated. And when you try to straighten out the tangle, you may find that you lose far more than you gain.
It's one of the things that irked me about political science and that irks me about psychology—the reliance, insistence, even, on increasingly fancy statistics and data sets to prove any given point, whether it lends itself to that kind of proof or not. I'm not alone in thinking that such a blanket approach ruins the basic nature of the inquiry. Just consider this review of Jerome Kagan's new book, Psychology's Ghosts,by the social psychologist Carol Tavris. "Many researchers fail to consider that their measurements of brains, behavior and self-reported experience are profoundly influenced by their subjects' culture, class and experience, as well as by the situation in which the research is conducted," Tavris writes. "This is not a new concern, but it takes on a special urgency in this era of high-tech inspired biological reductionism." The tools of hard science have a part to play, but they are far from the whole story. Forget the qualitative, unquantifiable and irreducible elements, and you are left with so much junk.
And a postscript, via Einstein, here.

DOVER — Old hat for one and something new for the other.
The No. 2 Farmington High School volleyball team (16-2) will make its fifth straight trip to the Division III semifinals on Wednesday at Plymouth State University and will take on No. 6 Winnisquam (14-4) at 5 p.m.
No. 5 Nute (15-3) is back in the semis for the first time since 2009 and will take on No. 1 and unbeaten Campbell (18-0) in the 7 p.m. nightcap. None of Nute's current players have played at Plymouth.
The championship is set for PSU Friday night at 7. If its Farmington-Nute, it will be their third championship meeting since 2008.
"It was good," said Farmington coach of her team's 3-1 win over Portsmouth Christian in Saturday's quarterfinal. "We played two great games of volleyball. We had a let down in the third. The important thing is we got past it and played well in the fourth set."
This is a senior-laden Tiger team, which lost in the finals last year and in the semis in 2010 (blowing a 2-0 lead to Epping). They suffered a late-season blip with losses at Winnisquam and Moultonborough to end the regular season, but appear to be back on track.
"We're in a much better place than we were a week ago," Kuehl said. "We've gotten a lot of momentum back."
Senior all-state outside hitter Marissa Peart was sick during that week with tonsillitis. She did pick up her 500th career kill at Winnisquam (a 3-2 loss).
Two days later, senior setter Kasey Memmolo crested the 1,000 career assist mark in a 3-0 setback at defending champion Moultonborough.
Winnisquam upended No. 3 Moultonborough (15-3) in the quarters in five tight games, including three that went into overtime.
"We're back to the place that works for us and where we can be successful," said Kuehl, whose team beat Winnisquam in their first meeting on Sept. 5, 3-0.
The loss to Winnisquam on Oct. 17 was Farmington's first after a 14-0 start.
"We're healthy, we've had a couple days to rest, so we should be fine," Kuehl added.
In the win over PCA, Peart was her old self with 24 kills and 22 digs. Memmolo added 52 assists and 11 digs, while Kelsey Gregoire had a strong match with nine kills and two blocks. Freshman Emily Squires chipped in with 10 kills and three aces.
The two other seniors are outside hitter Kayla Squires and middle hitter Shannon Cardinal.
Winnisquam senior Elyssa Clairmont picked up her 1,000th career assist in the win over Farmington. Hannah Chapin, Mo Raymond and Bailey Long are three of the team's top hitters
Clairmont had 38 assists and eight kills in the win over Moultonborough, while Chapin added 15 kills.
Last year, Winnisquam, champion in 2010, was the top seed and fell in the semis to Moultonborough.
"We proved that we can play with them by beating them," said Winnisquam coach Mike Livernois. "Now I'm looking forward to see how we do against them on the big stage."
With its five seniors and tough tournament losses in 2010 and 2011, the Tigers feel they have some unfinished business.
"It's in the back of their mind," Kuehl added. "It's not easy to get back to the championship. But they've picked it up and are very focused."
Kuehl said the Tigers need to serve receive well, which it did not against Winnisquam.
"Our defense wasn't as good as it can be," she said. "We've been working on that. We need to receive and to continue to serve aggressively."
While Nute is entering a whole new stratosphere with its current team, head coach Kristin Wilson and her assistants, Caitlin Wilson and Tayla Bourque, know all about playing at Plymouth. The three played at different times for the Rams during their three-peat run from 2006 to 2008.
"Hopefully we can bring a little bit of knowledge to that," said Kristin Wilson.
The Rams, with just one senior on board, advanced with 3-0 wins over No. 12 Trinity and No. 4 Hillsboro-Deering.
Campbell moved on in similar fashion past No. 15 Wilton-Lyndeborough and No. 8 Mascenic. Against Mascenic, Jayla Brennen led the Cougars with 19 kills and 15 digs, while Jenelle Psaledas had 31 assists, and Brianna Hardy chipped in with eight kills and eight digs.
The only teams the two have in common are Nute's playoff victims. While the Rams swept both, Campbell beat Trinity twice by a 3-1 count, and beat Hillsboro, 3-0, 3-1. The two did play last year with Nute claiming a 3-1 win.
"We had a great match on Saturday," Wilson said. "Hillsboro had some fantastic players. They played much tougher than we anticipated. We really jelled, more so than any other time this season. We've been harping on talking more on the court. We saw a complete turnaround with that. I couldn't believe it."
The Rams received strong play from juniors Ella Gourlay (12 kills, 10 digs), Michelle Guindon (26 assists, 12 digs) and Heidi Cloutier (six kills and five blocks), while sophomore Alisha Flanagan chipped in with 10 kills.
Wilson knows nothing about Campbell other than what she recalls from beating them last year. This is the farthest the Cougars have ever advanced in the tournament.
"I wish I knew something," she said. "I know they are undefeated."
Campbell did play a softer schedule than Nute. The Rams played both Farmington and Winnisquam, as well as defending champion Moultonborough and was 3-3 against that trio.
"I think we might show them some tougher competition than they've seen all season," Wilson added. "We need to keep the excitement down and focus is a huge key."

Rated 1 out of 5 by NSB53 from I must be missing something.... I have tried 4 flavors so far and not impressed. Not feeling what the other two reviews are saying. Not big on flavor. Can't say I even liked them. So I give this a big thumbs down.Date published: 2014-09-01Rated 5 out of 5 by GoKatGo from Great gift for parents Parents loved it great gift to kick the summer offDate published: 2014-06-24Rated 2 out of 5 by cookinginNY from I have had better for a lot less money I was not impressed with the flavors of most of these. The strawberry with chocolate shavings was by far the best of all. I would not order ever again.Date published: 2014-06-20Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellendy from Affordable Luxury You know how you make everything from scratch all the time, but every so often, you feel you need to sample outside products to expand your repertoire? And every so often, you want an elegant dinner but don't feel like making dessert? We have been enjoying sharing a cup of these after simple grilled dinners on the deck. One cup is just enough for two people. The sorbets are so creamy, you would think they contained dairy. The ingredients are top quality, just like you'd use at home. I also now have the idea to try making peanut butter gelato, and I never though that would be a flavor we'd enjoy. And what can I say about things made with Blue Bottle Coffee (our everyday coffee) and Recchiutti burnt caramel. Simply the best. I will be buying this again!Date published: 2013-07-06
