Finally, a survey has shown that through diligence, hard work and unending commitment, California's universities – Berkeley in particular – are the best in the whole wide world. Unfortunately, it's for all the wrong reasons. Here's why:
The University of California, Berkeley, has been crowned top … of the world's most environmentally friendly higher education institutions.
The "UI Green Metric Ranking of World Universities" is based on several factors, including green space, electricity consumption, waste and water management and eco-sustainability policies.
Based on research and surveys conducted by the Green Metric team at the University of Indonesia on thousands of other universities around the world, University of California, Berkeley, United States scored best with a points total of 8,213 and is the greenest campus in terms of its environment policy.
Berkeley got the title, but the award really goes to the entire UC system, the UC Board of Regents and the UC faculty as a whole, because the green policies established at Berkeley are not unlike those at all the UC campuses. So it's fair to say that California has the greenest public institutions of higher education in the world.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm all about green space, conservation and eco-sustainable policies. Whether there's a looming eco-catastrophe or not (I think it's "not"), it makes sense to be good stewards of our shared resources. No, the problem I have with Berkeley's new glory is that it's really just the outgrowth of the deeper commitment to environmentalist brainwashing education that goes on at UC campuses. If it weren't for Regents who have bought into environmental doctrine, a faculty that's bought into environmental extremism, and a curriculum that ensures wave after wave of freshly minted environmentalist soldiers will be graduating every spring and going into battle for Gaea, Berkeley would not be at the top of the green university rankings.
It's what I refer to as California's PEER Axis, standing for progressives, environmentalists, educators and reporters. I wrote about it a few months ago in a well-read op/ed that ran just after the mid-term election on the national news website The Daily Caller:
While the established political parties and their consultants will ignore California and pore over campaigns in other states for clues on how to capitalize on — or crush — the Tea Party's influence, the Left will be studying what happened in California, so they can replicate it the next time around. What they will find is not so much a magic formula but a vast progressive infrastructure they will then work to replicate elsewhere.
I call this infrastructure the PEER Axis, for the progressives, environmentalists, educators and reporters who collectively run California and influence the underpinnings of America. The PEER Axis remains powerful because politicians and political movements may come and go, but government bureaucrats and regulators, environmentalists and social justice activists, and their supporters in education and the media are pretty much forever. The structure of California ensures that appropriately indoctrinated college graduates will continue to fill the personnel pipelines that run from Berkeley, UCLA and other liberal universities straight into the progressive movement.
Many end up in government offices in Sacramento, where they write policies that are parroted in other states around the nation, as evidenced by the fact that the federal government is following California's lead in setting the next round of vehicle fuel economy standards. Others will go to work at California's giant environmentalist organizations, social justice NGOs and activist law firms, or the powerful public employee unions. Some will stay on the campuses, turning out future generations of progressives and writing studies to reinforce and justify progressive government policies, and those who graduate into the media will publicize these efforts and belittle any contrarian thinking. Many will find jobs in California's foremost culture-bending venture, Hollywood, where they will pummel all the world with green messages (The China Syndrome, Avatar), anti-corporate tirades (Metropolis, Wall Street), anti-war propaganda (Apocalypse Now, In the Valley of Elah) and movies challenging conventional values (Milk, Juno).
Wherever they end up, they will be greeted by like-minded alumnae ready to show them the ropes so they, too, can form and implement policy, bring lawsuits, and mold the next generation.
In my 30 years as an Orange County and California public affairs specialist (maybe even a guru, now that my hair is gray), I've watched the PEER Axis in action. It has transformed California from a state that spawned great private enterprises and embraced needed public infrastructure into a state that could easily win the same award Berkeley just one, if such an award were given. Defeating the PEER Axis isn't an option I see playing out in my lifetime, so I've made it my work – in business at Laer Pearce & Associates, and with the Crazifornia project – to win skirmishes, shine a spotlight on their activities and in so doing, dull the edge of their blade. Care to join us in the good fight?

Study: Smoking may contribute to suicide risk
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine found that suicide rates declined in states that implemented higher taxes on cigarettes and stricter policies to limit smoking in public places. They also noted an increase in suicide rates in states that had lower cigarette taxes and more lax policies toward smoking in public. The map displays the range of state cigarette taxes from the lowest (lightest blue) to the highest (darkest blue).
Autistic traits seen in parents of kids with autism
Studying children with autism and their parents, researchers have found that when a child has autism, his or her parents are more likely to have autistic traits than parents who don't have a child with an autism spectrum disorder, as measured by a survey used to identify such characteristics.
Partnership envisions novel treatments for mental illness

New clue to autism found inside brain cells
Researchers at the School of Medicine have learned that the problems people with autism have with memory formation, higher-level thinking and social interactions may be partially attributable to the activity of a receptor inside brain cells, highlighted with green in this image.
Smoking cessation may improve mental health
New research at the School of Medicine shows that people who struggle with mood problems or addiction can safely quit smoking and that kicking the habit is associated with improved mental health.
Panel recommends listing depression as a risk for heart disease
An extensive review of scientific literature indicates that depression should be added to the list of risk factors associated with heart disease. Others include obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and smoking.
New target explored for psychiatric drug development
In a surprising discovery, neuroscientists have found that a breakdown product of cholesterol in the brain may be a target for developing new drugs to treat schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. The naturally occurring molecule known as an oxysterol can interact with receptors not normally associated with current medications used to treat serious psychiatric illnesses.
Alcohol, tobacco, drug use far higher in severely mentally ill
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of Southern California have found that rates of smoking, drinking and drug use are significantly higher among those who have psychotic disorders than in the general population. And that finding is of particular concern because individuals with severe mental illness are more likely to die at younger ages than people who don't have psychiatric disorders.
Rare gene variants double risk for Alzheimer's disease
A team led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has identified variations in a gene that doubles a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life.
Department of Psychiatry professor studies how fluctuations in glucose levels can influence the brain

Seeds of discovery
Whether providing pilot funding to gather initial data or final funding for projects heading toward publication, grants awarded by Washington University's Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS) are ultimately aimed at one goal — supporting medical research that has the highest likelihood of benefiting patients quickly.
Understanding the brain
Our researchers have developed a highly accurate diagnostic tool for autism and are homing in on the disease's genetic triggers. We are leading worldwide clinical trials to test new drugs that may prevent or halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Investigators at Washington University are leading a coalition of scientists who are undertaking the effort to map the human brain.
Nerve stimulation for severe depression changes brain function
Preliminary brain scan studies conducted by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are beginning to reveal the processes occurring in the brain during stimulation and may provide some clues about how the device improves depression.
Depression in kids linked to cardiac risks in teens
Teens who were depressed as children are far more likely than their peers to be obese, smoke cigarettes and lead sedentary lives, even if they no longer suffer from depression. The research, by scientists at the School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh, suggests that depression, even in children, can increase the risk of heart problems later in life.

Rosamund Pike, Gone Girl
Someone recently suggested Rosamund Pike for a Career Prospectus. Don't think she needs one anymore, do you? According to The Hollywood Reporter, she's been offered the role of Amy Dunne in the film adaptation of Gone Girl to be directed by David Fincher and also starring Ben Affleck. As previously mentioned, my first choice was Jennifer Garner, because obviously, but Pike works too. She works very well. Pike was reportedly chosen over Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Natalie Portman, Abbie Cornish, and Olivia Wilde. That's a solid list. That's a list that sounds a lot stronger than whatever is they have to work with over at Fifty Shades Of Grey.
What's great about Pike is that she can be the sweet angel but you can also believe there's an ice cold c-nt who lives inside. It's a dream role for an actress. And physically she and Affleck make a handsome couple, as you can see here in these ads for Peek & Cloppenburg from a couple of years ago.
Very interested to see who ends up rounding out the cast. Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry are said to be in talks, but what'll be most interesting – to me, at least – are Nick's sister Margo, the female cop investigating Amy's disappearance, and the student with whom Nick has an affair. Would Blake Lively be too much to hope for?

The grounds at Evergreen Cemetery are looking less parched these days and County Supervisor Gloria Molina is taking credit for the greening up of the 136-year-old Boyle Heights cemetery.
Molina in November began to put public pressure on the operators of Evergreen to repair irrigation systems and restore the grass that had dried up across most of the grounds. Cemetery officials have blamed L.A. Department of Water and Power restrictions for the dry conditions at Evergreen, where some of the 300,000 gravestones bear notable names – such as Hollenbeck, Lankershim and Van Nuys – from the city's past. But, according to an email newsletter sent by Molina last week, the grounds are beginning to look a lot better after she and members of the public began to complain:
When we started, the grounds were three percent green. Now, they are nearly 50 percent green! We compelled Evergreen management to patch up antiquated plumbing, improve spout and sprinkler systems, add soil and supplements to grounds, and agree to a regular watering schedule!
Molina, however, wants residents to keep the pressure on Evergreen, asking persons to sign an online petition and file a complaint with the State Dept. of Consumer Affairs's Funeral Bureau at (916) 574-7870.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli security experts are growing concerned by the recent documented participation by Israeli Arabs in Syria's bloody civil war.
By and large, those Israeli Arabs crossing the border are siding with the fanatical Islamists trying to bring down the regime of brutal dictator Bashar Assad. Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency fears that these Arabs will return home radicalized and with advanced military training and experience.
Hundreds of young Muslims from all over the Middle East and Europe have flocked to Syria to join the fighting. Most are between 20 and 30-years-old, and many are simply seeking adventure by deliberately risking their lives.
"This is an international phenomenon. It does not surprise me that Israeli Arabs are joining it," Yonatan Pine, an expert on international religious extremist groups, told the daily newspaper Israel Hayom.
Even if only a handful of Israeli Arabs take part in this "adventure," Israel must monitor the situation very closely. Currently, authorities estimate that between 15 and 30 Israeli Arabs are currently fighting in Syria.
Last week, the ongoing civil war claimed its first Israeli Arab casualty: Moueed Zaki Juma, a young man from the small Lower Galilee town of Umm el-Fahm. Juma, who had married just a year earlier, was killed in a clash with Syrian government forces. His family believed Juma had traveled with friends to Greece or Turkey for holiday, and were surprised to hear he had instead joined the rebels in Syria.

For Immediate Release, September 30, 2008
Contact: Mike Senatore, (301) 466-0774
Bush Administration Announces Long-overdue Endangered
Species Act Protections for 48 Imperiled Species
WASHINGTON— The U.S. Department of the Interior today announced that it would propose adding 48 species found only in Hawaii to the federal endangered species list. The Bush administration has established the worst track record of any administration for listing endangered and threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, so this action is long overdue.
Most if not all of these species have been the subject of listing petitions and ongoing litigation by the Center for Biological Diversity to force the Administration to protect hundreds of species that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service previously had determined warranted protection under the Endangered Species Act. In 2004, the Center petitioned the Interior Department to add 225 species to the list of endangered and threatened species that the department itself had already found warranted protection under the Endangered Species Act. Of these, 79 percent had been officially recognized as candidates for listing for at least 10 years.
"While we welcome this action to protect these incredibly rare and imperiled species, in no way does it make up for the Administration's abysmal track-record of listing and protecting endangered and threatened species," said Mike Senatore, the Center's Biodiversity Program director and senior counsel. "This action also does nothing for the hundreds of additional species that have languished for years awaiting protection under the Endangered Species Act. In fact, the proposal even falls short of the Interior Department's announcement earlier this year that it would propose adding 71 species to the list of endangered and threatened species."
In announcing this action, Interior Department officials claimed that the agency was using a "newly developed, ecosystem-based approach to species conservation." But it was the Clinton administration that developed and implemented an ecosystem-based approach to species conservation – an approach that the Bush administration all but disregarded.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national nonprofit conservation organization with more than 180,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

What links the song "Heroes" to the album "Jazz"?
It's a tad tenuous but is it the Berlin Wall? Bowie's "heroes" kissed by the wall and Roger got the idea for the cover of Jazz by a similar design on the wall. Do I win a prize?

Canadian pro wrestler Chris Benoit has been found dead at his suburban Atlanta home along with his wife Nancy and son, World Wrestling Entertainment said Monday.
"It has been ruled that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel earlier today were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home," WWE.com reported.
"Every indication is that this is a murder-suicide," District Attorney Scott Ballard told The Citizen, adding that he was confident in his belief that Benoit killed his wife, then his son, then himself. Reports have been made that the bodies were found in three separate rooms, and that no gun was involved.
"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the website statement said.
Benoit was scheduled to wrestle at the Vengeance pay-per-view Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."

BURLINGTON, N.C. – In a game that took nearly five hours to complete, the King University softball team outlasted Barton College in the first round of the Conference Carolinas Tournament. The Tornado plated a pair of unearned runs in the final two innings to take the contest 2-0.
Both pitchers, Hannah Light of King and Barton's Ashlyn Reagan were on their respective games throughout the contest, only allowing seven total hits. Just prior to the first rain delay, Hannah Smith got the game's first hit, a single to center in the top of the second inning. Following the delay, Reagan got a pair of outs to get out of the inning.
The Bulldogs (17-21-1) got their first hit with two outs and a runner on first in the third inning, but Light escaped the inning with a groundout before the rain came again. This delay lasted two hours and 46 minutes before the teams took the field again.
After the delay, Reagan worked a 1-2-3 third, before Barton registered another hit in the fourth. However, Light got a pair of strikeouts in the frame to keep the game scoreless. The contest remained that way until the fifth inning when the Tornado loaded the bases with no outs. Reagan looked to get out of the frame with a groundball, but the throw was high to first base allowing a run to score. Reagan then got a popout to escape further damage in the inning and leave the bases loaded.
King (27-24) struck again in the sixth, loading the bases with one out. Tori McComas came through for the Tornado rolling a groundball to second base that scored King's second run. Reagan left runners on second and third, sending the game to the seventh with Barton trailing 2-0.
The Bulldogs got a leadoff single from Crystal Britton, and a one-out bunt single from Alex Baylis. However, Light induced a popout to the back of the circle that she caught and threw to first for the double play to end the contest.
Light tossed all seven innings, allowing only four hits to lead the Tornado. Reagan allowed just the two unearned runs and three hits for the Bulldogs.
King will be in action again on Saturday when the face sixth seeded Pfeiffer University at 12:00 p.m.

Everybody Loves Ray Romano Guest Starring on 'Parenthood'
'Parenthood' has flown in somewhat under the radar of NBC shows, seemingly always on the bubble even as it makes it into its fourth season. Similarly, former 'Everybody Loves Raymond' star Ray Romano's last gig with 'Men of a Certain Age' on TNT didn't turn many heads, but drew plenty of critical acclaim. So, it makes sense to combine the two, right? Right?
NBC has issues a new press release outlining that former 'Men of a Certain Age' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond' star Ray Romano has picked up a recurring role on the upcoming fourth season of the family drama 'Parenthood,' to begin this September.
Set to be introduced in the September 11 season premiere for a multi-episode arc, Romano will play a photographer and former photo journalist who befriends Lauren Graham's character Sarah and complicates her relationship with Mark (Jason Ritter). And just in case you're unfamiliar with the series, from the official press release:
"Parenthood" is a one-hour drama inspired by the box-office hit of the same name. This re-imagined and updated Universal Television/Imagine Television production follows the trials and tribulations of the very large, very colorful and imperfect Braverman family. The series stars Peter Krause, Lauren Graham, Dax Shepard, Monica Potter, Erika Christensen, Sam Jaeger, Savannah Paige Rae, Max Burkholder, Joy Bryant, Tyree Brown, Miles Heizer, Mae Whitman, Xolo Mariduena, Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson.
What say you? Will Ray Romano's presence be enough to keep 'Parenthood' afloat for another season? Sound off in the comments!

A mixture of history, politics and contemporary opinion on a range of Scottish and Irish matters from North Ayrshire based family historian Chris Paton

Deaf and dumb in Glasgow
In desperation the client had taken a DNA test, thinking that as it was a 'clan name', that might help. In his original approach he actually sent me the results of his test and asked me to interpret them for him. Before doing so I asked him to confirm a few points. He was from Glasgow? Yes. He taught at a deaf institute? Yes. Was he deaf himself? Absolutely. So who taught him? Ah...
The DNA test was going to be a very long shot indeed, so I suggested he park that for the moment and concentrate on what he already knew. It was entirely possible that he had been taught in Glasgow as a deaf child - if so, where would that have happened? The first thing I did was to search the online British Library 19th Century Newspaper collection to see if I could find any mention of a deaf institute in Glasgow. In fact, I not only came up with details of such an organisation, by a stroke of good luck I actually found an announcement of the ancestor in question having a dinner held in his honour! In a Glasgow Herald article from 1856 I discovered how he had been presented by the Deaf and Dumb Society "with a Sum of Money, as a small tribute of their gratitude and respect for him as their Sunday Meeting Teacher, on the eve of his Departure for England." A few tributes followed, with the article then stating that "their guest had taught them for the past seventeen years", and he was wished every success for "a missionary field of similar character in Manchester".
Knowing he had been connected as a teacher to the Glasgow based society, I looked on the internet for any kind of additional information about the organisation, and found a site at www.gsedd.org.uk/history.html which provided a brief history for it. The Glasgow Society for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb had been formed as a satellite operation in 1819 to an earlier body instituted in Edinburgh. A check of the NAS catalogue (www.nas.gov.uk/onlinecatalogue) confirmed that the Edinburgh records were held at the archive but not those for Glasgow. Unable to find the records for Glasgow listed on any other catalogue (NAS, NRAS and SCAN), I therefore decided just to call the modern day society, details of which were on the website. It turns out that the modern day version is no longer a school, just a fund issuing grants for those seeking to assist deaf/blind people. The fund is administered by a chartered accountants in Glasgow, and with nothing to lose I asked, "You don't happen to have the records by any chance, do you?" The answer was that in actual fact, they did! I asked for permission to come in and see them, which was granted.
When I visited, I was immediately given some annual reports from the 1830s and 1840s which had been published in book form. I sifted through them and found a couple of earlier letters written by someone as a pupil sharing the same name as the teacher, including one discussing how whilst playing with his (named) brother at the Broomielaw he very nearly drowned on one occasion, but nothing to confirm that he had in fact been the man who later moved to Manchester. After an hour ploughing through them I asked the accountant responsible if there might be any actual original minute books or any kind of school admission rolls? She disappeared for five minutes and returned with a minute book from the very beginning of the society's existence. As I worked my way through my eyes nearly popped out of my head - the detail was extraordinary. I soon established from the minutes that the pupil was indeed the same person as the teacher. The Campbell boy had started off as one of the society's first eight pupils - his father was noted as a shoemaker from Partick, and after finishing school he was taken on initially as a Sunday School teacher, and later as a full teacher at the school. Combined with the AGM minutes I found enough detail to conclusively prove which birth record was the right one, and managed to take the family back a few more generations.
DNA tests are a wonderful tool for genealogy, but there is an increasing hype about how they can be used. In this case the test ended up being completely unnecessary. Sometimes it is worth putting yourself in the position of the person at the heart of your brick wall and trying to imagine what life must have been like for them. As in this case, it just might point out an option that didn't at first present itself on the face of it.

I couldn't agree more with this sentiment, Chris. Well done for pursuing the records to the end. Persistence is a very worthy quality for genealogists to have I reckon.ReplyDelete
Cheers Rosemary!ReplyDelete
Interesting that you started your search with the 19th Century Newspapers, Chris. When I used to give talks on family history, newspapers were one of the under-used sources I banged on about. Only this week I learned from a Scottish death certificate about a 16 year old who died at the General Railway Station in Perth in 1867, probably from heart disease according to the medical officer who examined him. Using the 19th Century Newspapers I found the death announcement his parents placed in the Dundee Courier and also a railway timetable for the relevant month. The timetable showed that the time of death was the same as the time of arrival of the Highland Line train from Dundee to Perth. Looks like he was either found dead on arrival or died as he got off the train.ReplyDelete
Hi Caroline, newspapers will become increasingly easy to use in the next few years, as the British Library and FindmyPast are in partnership to digitise 40 million pages of content over the next 10 years - the first four million due in 2 years time. At present, the 19th C collection has about 2 or 3 million pages, so a significant increase. I think as a result, more and more people will begin to start using them - they are one of the best resources around.ReplyDelete
That's fantastic news, Chris. Can't wait! By the way, do you know what happened to the British Library 18th Century newspaper (or was it periodical) collection that also used to be available amongst the Gale databases? Has it been withdrawn or is just that my access via Bristol Library no longer includes that database?ReplyDelete
It's still around, it's called the Burney Collection and covers 17th and 18th C. Looks like your library may not have it any more if you can't get acxcess. Try registering with Lancashire - that's how I used to get access prior to the NLS offering the lot, and it didn't matter back then if I was in the county or not! Say hi to Bristol - had six very happy years there, and where I met my wife - girt lush city, innit?!ReplyDelete

8 mistakes
Directed by: Kevin Smith
Starring: Craig Robinson, Elizabeth Banks, Gerry Bednob, Seth Rogen
Continuity mistake: When Zack is talking to Deacon at the hockey game, there's a water bottle between them. It disappears during the rest of the scene, even if the two characters are not seen drinking. (00:35:00)Dr Wilson
Continuity mistake: When Miri takes her name tag at the reunion, it's sticking to the thumb of her right hand. In the next shot, it's sticking to the index finger of her left hand. (00:13:30)Cubs Fan
Plot hole: There is a problem with the warehouse being destroyed to the total surprise of the crew. A building of that size that is bound to be destroyed has to be fenced off days before the destruction, so that no homeless people or kids can easily get on the properties. In this case, however, there was not even a warning sign.BlueCell
Continuity mistake: When Miri bangs on Zack's door the second time to wake him up at the start of the film, he throws a hockey stick into the hall and it lands on a rug. The shot cuts to him getting up and then back to the hallway, where the hockey stick is no longer on the rug (and Miri was in the bathroom). (00:01:00)Knever
Factual error: After punching an opposing hockey player, Deacon is sent to the penalty box. Goalies are never sent to the box; they are assessed penalty minutes, and their time is served by a teammate.Cubs Fan
Factual error: Towards the end when Delaney is showing Zack the footage of him and Miri, we see shots where the camera is pointing up at Zack from the ground. But they only had the one camera at a wide angle, and filmed the scene only one time, so they had no way of getting those shots.
Continuity mistake: When Miri first puts her name tag on at the reunion, it is on her dress and straight. Cut to the next shot and the tag is further up her dress. Cut again and it is back to its original position. (00:14:10)ployp
Factual error: At the beginning of the movie, Miri pulls over, off of the highway, so that Zack can get the "hot hands" hand warmer out of his pants. Miri pulls over at Ralph's Army and Navy Supply Store parking lot. She pulls over to the right, and did not cross over any traffic, indicating that she pulled over on the same side of the road. Moments later, they pull in to the Monroeville Mall, also pulling in to the right. Geographically, if driving down Rt 22 East, one would come to the mall first. Ralph's is another 1.35 miles down the road.

HOW IT GOT ITS NAME: From Lichfield in Staffordshire, England. Local historians have concluded that the added "T" was the result of a clerical error.
ORIGINS: Originally called Bantam by the Indians, the area was settled in 1719 when a group from Hartford and Windsor purchased the land for "fifteen pounds money." It was named and established that same year.
DID YOU KNOW: Judge Tapping Reeve established the country's first law school in Litchfield in 1784. Sarah Pierce founded one of the earliest educational institutions for women when she opened the Litchfield Female Academy in 1792.
REVOLUTIONARY WOMEN: Shortly after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, members of the Sons of Liberty tore down a statue of King George that had been erected in New York and secretly carted it to Litchfield where the town's women melted its lead into bullets for the Continental Army.
FAMOUS RESIDENTS: Harriet Beecher Stowe, Dr. Lyman Beecher, Oliver Wolcott, Ethan Allen. Aaron Burr and John C. Calhoun attended law school there. Current residents include Dick Ebersol and Susan Saint James.

(Reuters) - The U.S. government approved Arkansas' proposal to use federal money targeted for expanding the Medicaid health program for the poor to help low-income residents buy private insurance under President Barack Obama's healthcare law.
The request was approved by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency said on Friday. It will allow more than 200,000 uninsured state residents to receive government help to access health coverage.
"Arkansas and CMS worked together to find flexibilities that gave the state the tools to build a program that worked for them and their residents," CMS said in a statement.
Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe received a call Friday morning from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who oversees CMS, informing him of the approval, according to his office.
"Now we will focus on getting this insurance to the Arkansans who need it to lead healthier, more productive lives," Beebe said in a statement.
Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act calls for expanding Medicaid eligibility to Americans earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. A Supreme Court decision last year allowed each state to decide whether it would participate in the expansion.
Arkansas, Iowa and Pennsylvania have been seeking to modify the expansion, including the option of using the federal funds for the expansion to help their residents buy insurance on their own. Including Arkansas, 23 states and the District of Columbia have agreed to expand Medicaid under Obamacare.
The affordable care law aims to reduce the number of America's uninsured by almost half, or about 25 million people, in the next 10 years through the Medicaid expansion and state-based marketplaces offering subsidized coverage.
About 8.7 million new beneficiaries are expected to enroll in Medicaid in 2014 alone, while another 7 million are expected to buy insurance through the state exchanges. CMS said the Arkansas decision meant that most of the newly eligible Medicaid beneficiaries will buy their insurance on the state exchange.

However, since I'm on holidays I have time to spend on Trove and have decided to see what other things I can discover about the Seabrooks and Whites in Tasmania. Previous research involved manual searching of newspapers.
Henry William Seabrook and his brother-in-law Thomas White were at one stage in a building partnership in Hobart. These posts that I discovered relate to Mark Smith, an assigned servant or prisoner on loan.
|Hobart Town Police Report, Colonial Times 9 June 1840, p. 7
Mark Smith, a prisoner on loan, to Messrs.
Seabrook and White, was charged by Mr.
White with felony, in having on Saturday
night last, picked up a £5 note, his property,
which he had lost, and appropriated the same
to his own use. He was remanded. The man
acknowledged to Mr. White, in the presence of
witnesses, that he had picked the note up, and
spent it.
|Hobart Town Police Report, Colonial Times, 8 September 1840, p. 7
Mark Smith, assigned to Mr. Seabrook, was
committed for trial for stealing a £5 note belong-
ing to his master.
At this stage I haven't been able to discover what happened to Mark Smith and if these two articles relate to the same incident or not.
I hope he had fun spending he £5.

The Honda of America Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio is something of a historic place. Sure, it is only a bit over 30, which doesn't make it too historic, but it is the plant that, back in 1982, initiated production of what some once designated "new domestic vehicles," as in "not traditional Big Three vehicles."
Given that all that has changed in the auto industry over the past 30 years, one could argue that Marysville really is a historic place.
Marysville comes to mind because on Monday the workers there initiated production of the all-new Acura 2015 TLX premium sports sedan.
The Acura TLX will only be built in Marysville. It was designed and engineered in Torrance, California, and Ohio.
Said Marysville plant manager Rob May, "We are proud to be the exclusive global manufacturer of the Acura TLX. Working side-by-side with our Acura engineers, our dedicated team of manufacturing associates is committed to exceeding the expectations of every customer and producing the best products in the world."
While you might simply think that that is the sort of thing that a plant manager anywhere would say about the production of anything, given Marysville's track record, year in, year out, building the Accord, which is one of the best-selling and most bullet-proof cars on the road, May is not merely exercising rhetoric.
The TLX is a crucially important vehicle for Acura. In terms of cars, it joins the ILX compact sedan and the RLX luxury sedan. On the truck side, there are the RDX compact and MDX full-size crossovers and a few ZDXes still left on lots. The trucks are doing fairly well, but the cars are a bit anemic. (E.g., although the sales of the RLX through June are up 33.3% compared to the same period last year, only 2,084 of them have been sold.)
It is hoped that the TLX will kick start sales.
Incidentally, about that aforementioned "new domestic" moniker.
In the case of Acura, more than 90% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. are built in the U.S.
After 30 years, we can probably drop the modifier in front of "domestic."

David Ayers wrote and directed "End of Watch." He also wrote the gritty cop drama "Training Day," which earned Denzel Washington an Oscar for best actor. This new film careens across the screen with all the non-stop action you expect from a serious film about police operations in South Central Los Angeles.
The incredible performances by co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña both seem worthy of Oscar nominations. They play intense cop buddies who bring authentic life to their work patrolling mean streets. Ayers uses a near documentary style with lots of hand-held camera work. He accurately portrays the intense events that make up the daily lives of the central characters.
But Ayers adds a welcome dose of great adult humor to offset the graphic reality on the screen. The fast-paced scenes are all heart-pounding and the plot unfolds with ever-increasing tension. This may be the "Saving Private Ryan" of cop movies. Compelling but gruesome, you may feel you have a ringside seat to watch the ugly dark side of our current urban battles.
There will be boredom
Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson is an idiosyncratic filmmaker. From "Boogie Nights" to "There Will be Blood," his movies are unique. They're intense and enigmatic, and he always gets strong performances from his actors.
So, after viewing the highly touted "The Master," the first thought that came to mind was, "The Emperor has no clothes." This post-World War II story of a broken alcoholic (Joaquin Phoenix) who meets the mysterious leader of a self-realization movement is challenging at best.
As "The Master," Phillip Seymour Hoffman gives an intriguing performance. He exudes confidence, calm and prosperity — on the surface — and assures Freddie Quell (Phoenix) that he can help the troubled man find inner peace.
Some may say that Phoenix is brilliant here, but the tortured, twisted physicality is a distraction. His Freddie is a frightened, frightening animal and it's difficult to see why The Master and his group tolerate having him around.
Amy Adams is excellent as the ever-smiling wife of The Master. Hands folded demurely in her lap, she is a force stronger than her husband.
Beautiful photography and music throughout this movie are soothing counterpoints to the perplexing, frustrating chaos that is "The Master" itself. As an art form, it may be a great film but as a story, it feels pointless and self-indulgent.

Lexi Myers enters her sixth season as a softball assistant coach for Lipscomb University.
Myers, a native of Hanover, Pa., spent two seasons with the Lady Bisons as a graduate assistant. She received her Master's degree from Lipscomb in Education Administration in May 2008.
Myers' primary areas are working with the Lady Bisons pitching staff and recruiting. In 2009 pitcher Whitney Kiihnl was named Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year. Recently, Kiihnl became the third pitcher in Atlantic Sun history to record 1,000 career strike outs.
In 2010 Kiihnl topped that by being named the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year and the unanimous choice for Pitcher of the Year. She had the nation's top ERA (0.95) and earned a third-team All-American nod.
In 2010, the Lady Bisons, under the direction of head coach Kristin Ryman and Myers, won the conference regular season title, an Atlantic Sun Tournament Championship, and finished second in the NCAA Regionals. Lipscomb was co-champions in the regular season in the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2008. They have also played in the Atlantic Sun Tournament in each of the past four seasons.
Myers has spent the past six seasons with the Lady Bison as an assistant coach. She's coached the Lady Bison to two top-20 national rankings in ERA (third in 2010, 15th in 2009).
Myers played college softball at Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C. She received a bachelor's degree in physical education, excelling on both the field and in the classroom.
She lettered four years at Campbell as a pitcher. Myers was named Campbell's Rookie of the Year in 2003. In 2003 she was also a member of the 2003 Cougar Classic All-Tournament team. In 2004 she played against Greece's Olympic softball team.
Myers was an NFCA All-American Scholar-Athlete in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006. She was also a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Academic team in both 2005 and 2006.

OnlinePAF.com collects information that is required by the United States Postal Service, prior to us providing our services to our customers.
This site will be viewed by others in the direct mail and direct marketing business.
The site should be simple to use and understand.
We have to collect this information from our users, and that is the only purpose of this site. We are not trying to overload them with other distracting elements.
From the users point of view there will be 4 or 5 pages that they will interact with, in a step by step sequence each visit.
They will arrive to the site via a web link that will be sent to them via e-mail. This web link is specific to each recipient, so they will "automatically" be logged into the site just by clicking on the link.
The first question that they will be asked is if they are representing a company that we have previously done business with, or if they need to setup a new company record.
Then they are asked a question that has one out of 4 possible answers. The answer will determine which page they are taken to next.
If they are a List owner, then we collect/verify their name and mailing address information. They must "sign" the form by typing in their first and last name, and agreeing to a terms and conditions box.
If the are a Broker or a List Administrator, they are taken to a different page than the List owner. Most of the information is the same, expect they do not have to agree to the terms and conditions. Some users can log in to search.
I have provided sample screen shots of what this process looks like today. It is very basic, very boring and very ugly :-)
The purpose of this contest is to put some lipstick on this pig and make it look professional :-)
Previously we held a logo contest on 99designs.com to create a logo for the OnlinePAF.com site.
This is the logo that will be used and can be downloaded here.
You are not required to use the tag line, in fact I prefer the logo without it.
We will also have a McAfee Secure button that will be placed on the site dynamically updated everyday. I have included two sample sizes that you can place on the mock up.
We also use LivePerson for chatting with users when/if they have any questions or problems while on the site. A sample button can be seen in the sample ZIP file I have posted. This button can be any shape or size that you design. It has three possible "states" that we need to design.
1. Chat is online and available
2. Chat is temporarily offline
3. Chat is offline (after hours). Our hours are 9:00 to 5:00 EST.
Remember, overall the site should be simple and easy to use. We are asking very basic questions and would like our users to be able to get in, and get done quickly. The site should not be intimidating.

Writing a Rails Metal app can make you realize just how spoiled we've become with all the convenience that comes with Rails. Without the controller and view helpers, it can become a painful experience. Here's a guide to help make it a better experience.
For this guide, we're writing a Widget Refresher Metal app. Supposedly, the widget page of our Rails application gets called too much, and so we want to take advantage of Metal. Under our project's app/metal folder, we create refresher.rb:
class Refresher < Rails::Rack::Metal def self.call(env) refresher = RefresherApp.new refresher.call(env) end end class RefresherApp def call(env) # refresh widget path: /widgets/:id/refresh if env["PATH_INFO"] =~ /^\/widgets\/(\d+)\/refresh/ widget_id = $1 prepare(env, widget_id) refresh else [404, { "Content-Type" => "text/html" }, "Not Found"] end end # to setup the environment def prepare(env, widget_id) ... end # the heart of our Metal app def refresh ... end end
I like to create a separate class RefresherApp instead of just writing all of it inside the Refresher class (the one that extends from Rails::Rack::Metal). When your Metal app becomes more than just a trivial hello world app, you'll be needing a bunch of methods calling each other. Since the call method in the Metal app is a class method, putting all the code in one class will require all these methods to be class methods as well. And I think that looks ugly. Feel free to stick it all in one class if you want. If you do, you can change the context to self so you don't have to keep on defining each method as self.method:
class Refresher < Rails::Rack::Metal # the methods in here are class methods class << self def call(env) ... end def method ... end end end
For the rest of the guide, we're using my approach. Also, note that when developing a Metal app, you need to keep on restarting your server for your code changes to take effect.
Request and Session
To access the request and the parameters in it, you can use this code:
request = Rack::Request.new(env) params = request.params params['mykey'] # String keys, so not params[:mykey]
As you can see, the keys will be of class String, not Symbol. Now for the session, you can get it from the environment:
session = env['rack.session']
We can move all these code into our prepare method. In addition, we can set the params[:id] (using a Symbol if you want), so that in our main refresh method, it would be like in a Rails controller. With the session, we can get the current user. We can also define other methods to make things more like writing code for a Rails controller. This is how it looks like:
attr_reader :request, :session, :current_user def params @request.params end def logged_in? !!current_user end def prepare(env, widget_id) @request = Rack::Request.new(env) params[:id] = widget_id @session = env["rack.session"] @current_user = session[:user_id] ? User.find(session[:user_id]) : false end
With these out of the way, we go into writing the code for the main method called refresh.
refresh and ActiveRecord
ActiveRecord works out of the box, no setup needed. Cool! Let's say we just need to return the status of widget to the client side:
def refresh @widget = Widget.find(params[:id]) return [200, { "Content-Type" => "text/html" }, @widget.status] end
We can also send javascript code, or other content types back to our client. Just make sure to set your content type properly. Let's also add some simple checking if the user is logged in:
def refresh @widget = Widget.find(params[:id]) if logged_in? return [200, { "Content-Type" => "text/javascript" }, "Element.update('status', '#{@widget.status}');"] else return [200, { "Content-Type" => "text/javascript" }, "Element.update('message', 'Must be logged in for widget status to refresh');"] end end
View Helpers
To use helpers in your Metal app, just include the modules you need:
include ActionView::Helpers::JavascriptHelper # so escape_javascript works include WidgetsHelper # for example
I prefer to avoid including too much of these helpers though.
Request Forgery Protection
If the request is not a GET request, we may need to verify the authenticity token. Here's one way to do it:
def refresh # before everything else return redirect_to_widgets_response unless verified_request? # everything else ... end def redirect_to_widgets_response return [302, { "Content-Type" => "text/html", "Location" => "/widgets" }, "Redirecting..."] end # Based on Rails method of the same name but simplified, i.e. no need to check if: # - protection is disabled # - request method is :post # - format is verifiable def verified_request? form_authenticity_token == params['authenticity_token'] end def form_authenticity_token session[:_csrf_token] ||= ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.base64(32) end
More Challenges
There are other challenges you may encounter in writing your Rails Metal app. I have tried rendering a partial by directly using ERB but it's too ugly to show here. And I've also struggled with performance. Not all business logic can simply be translated to a Metal app to be fast. It is recommended for very simple things only, or it may not be worth it. Anyway, I hope this guide clears up a few things. Also, if you have better ways of doing any of the above, feel free to post in the comments. Thanks!

So I tried to make blueberry jam the other day.
I say "tried", because I totally forgot about it and it ended up cooking down a whole lot more than I originally anticipated.
But it is freaking delicious. So here's a recipe for you. This is my first recipe I've invented myself, SO BE NICE. If it sucks, tell me. If it's awesome, tell me. If it doesn't make sense, tell me.
I apologize for the lack of photos. I will remedy this if I ever write another recipe post again. 🙂
Accidentally Delicious Blueberry Jam (Makes about 8 quarter-pints or 4 pints)
- 2 pounds of blueberries, washed (and check for stems. Stems are gross in jam.)
- 2 1/2 cups of sugar
- 1tsp cinnamon (fresh-grated is nice, but not necessary.)
- 1/4c lemon juice (I use "Real Lemon" juice….the acidity is high enough to make the jam safe. Fresh lemon juice is too variable in the acid levels. If you're not canning it and putting it in the fridge, fresh lemon is OK.)
- 1/2 box pectin (or 3 Tbsp of the stuff in the jar)

Day #1
An assortment of discolored "classic" light grey and white bricks, saving some of similar discoloration out as a control. The picture on the upper left is with a flash, the other without. Here you can see some of the white bricks are badly discolored. The light grey bricks have roughly the same amount of discoloration and are about the same color.
(Day #25)
The containment unit. Hydrogen Peroxide is basically made up of water molecules with an extra oxygen atom. Because of this, it is relatively unstable, reacting to both air and water, and gives its free oxygen atom up easily. To counteract this, I stored the bricks and peroxide in an air tight container in an unused cabinet.
Day #25
*obligatory 'whoosh' noise as the containment vessel opens*
Day #25 - White Bricks
Here you can see the white bricks that were soaked lying on a new white baseplate, along with one of the control white bricks. The white bricks were not totally whitened 100%, but they were considerablly better in color than the control.
I theorize a few more weeks and they would whiten further.
Day #25 - Light Grey Bricks
I'm not sure what to make of this. On top you can see the control Light Grey brick, and on the bottom you can see a new Light Grey brick.
Inbetween it looks almost as if there are two Very Light Grey colored bricks and one "New" or "Bley" Light Grey Brick. Had they all turned lighter, I would have surmised that their color had been bleached out. As it is, I have no idea what to think.

California Boomin'
Longtime contributor and former HCN editor Jon Christensen is shaking up the academic world with the latest edition of Boom: A Journal of California. A native Californian and adjunct professor at UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, Jon now edits the quarterly that, he says, "strives to bottle that lively mixture of what makes California such a vital place in the world."
With stunning historic photos and provocative, scholarly articles, the fall issue focuses on the Los Angeles Aqueduct's 100th anniversary and the past, present and future of the city's water supply. It's drawn a blitz of attention from media and SoCal water managers – exactly what Jon hoped for: "Now we just have to figure out how to follow up with another great issue." Check out BoomCalifornia.com.
Another win for HCN
We're honored to announce that we've won a prestigious 2013 Science in Society Journalism Award, sponsored by the National Association of Science Writers. In the Science Reporting for a Local or Regional Audience category, our Feb. 6, 2012 feature, "The Color of Bunny" by Hillary Rosner, about how climate change affects snowshoe hares, got the nod. Judges said, "This totally engrossing and engaging report from the field artfully describes efforts to better understand a biological phenomenon critical to animal survival, namely seasonal camouflage."
Steve and Clare White spend most of the year in Maine and Massachusetts, but summer in Ridgway, Colo. In August, while visiting friends in Paonia, they dropped by our headquarters to see "where the magic happens," having been fans of the magazine for some time.
Irv and Jo Bode discovered HCN when they moved to Broomfield, Colo., six years ago to be closer to their grandchildren. Now they pass the issues on to their grandson after they've finished reading. They visited us while on a mission to drive every scenic byway in the West.
Rob Robinson was returning to Denver from a meeting with the Animas River Stakeholder Group in Silverton when he stopped by. A roughly 15-year subscriber, Rob advocates for clean water and mine cleanup as a citizen member of the group.
In an Oct. 28 "Latest," we wrote that 100 kilowatts was "barely enough to power one house." In fact, 100 kw is enough to power 50 to 70 homes, while a 100 kw wind turbine could power between 20 and 30 homes, depending on location and energy use. We regret the error.
Alert reader Michael E. Campana of Corvallis, Ore., writes: "I enjoyed Auden Schendler's Oct. 28 review of The Emerald Mile but found his knowledge of geography lacking. He stated that the Grand Canyon, a mile deep, is 'so large that you could dump the Pyrenees into it and no peaks would rise above the rim.' The Pyrenees have more than 100 peaks that top 3,000 meters (9,840 feet); many of them would rise far above the Grand Canyon's rim." Actually, Michael, we were thinking of the dogs; you can fit a lot of Great Pyrenees in the canyon.

7 Things to Learn from a "Lifer" Nurse
Prisca Smith | Scrubs Magazine
4. Advocation comes more naturally. Standing up for a patient takes some bravery and some skill—especially when advocating for a patient in front of a doctor (or doctors) who believe the nurse is in the wrong. I am getting better about this, but have noticed that seasoned nurses win more battles for their patients because they are better advocates. They have so much knowledge to draw on!

Personalized Chef Aprons and More!
Heat a large saute pan, until hot. Add pancetta
and saute until
golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper
and remove pan from heat.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and cream. Season
with salt and
pepper. Stir in Parmesan, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish.
In a large pot, boil 6 quarts of salted boiling
water. Add pasta
and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta in a
colander. Do not rinse with water; you want to retain the pasta's
natural starches so that the sauce will stick. While the pasta is
still hot, return it back to the pot. Add the browned pancetta and
mix well. Add the cream mixture and coat the pasta completely. It's
important to work quickly while the pasta is still warm so that the
cream mixture will cook, but not curdle. Add remaining Parmesan and
chopped parsley.
