World renowned biological anthropologist will speak on campus on April 1University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Posted: Mar 15, 2013
As part of the Distinguished Lecturer Series, the Honors Program at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, along with the Chancellor's Office, the Department of Anthropology, and the Archaeological Institute of America, will feature a formal public lecture by world renowned biological anthropologist Chris Stringer.
Stringer's latest book, The Origin of Our Species, is the focus of his lecture which will be held on Monday, April 1, 2013 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. in Art Auditorium 132 on the UH Mānoa campus. There will be a book signing following the lecture. Books will be available for purchase at the event from the UH Bookstore.
Stringer has worked at The Natural History Museum London since 1973, and is now Research Leader in Human Origins and a Fellow of the Royal Society. His early research was on the relationship of Neanderthals and early modern humans in Europe, but through his work on the Recent African Origin model for modern human origins, he now collaborates with archaeologists, dating specialists and geneticists in attempting to reconstruct the evolution of modern humans globally. He has excavated at sites in Britain and abroad, and is currently leading the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project in its third phase (AHOB3), funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
He has published over 250 scientific papers, and his recent books include Homo britannicus (2006), The Complete World of Human Evolution (2011, with Peter Andrews), and Lone survivors: how we came to be the only humans on Earth (2012).
The Origin of Our Species
Human Evolution can be divided into two main phases. A pre-human phase in Africa prior to 2 million years ago, where walking upright had evolved but many other characteristics were still essentially ape-like. And a human phase, with an increase in both brain size and behavioral complexity, and an expansion from Africa. Evidence points strongly to Africa as the major center for the genetic, physical and behavioral origins of both ancient and modern humans, but new discoveries are prompting a rethink of some aspects of our evolutionary origins, including the likelihood of interbreeding between archaic humans (for example the Neanderthals) and modern humans.

American Medical Response back in good graces of key Manchester officialsBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 17. 2013 10:43PM
MANCHESTER — A key aldermanic committee has backed renewing the contract for American Medical Response, the emergency ambulance company that, until several months ago, was beset by complaints over large bills and aggressive collection practices.
The Committee on Administration on Monday voted to go along with the recommendation of Fire Chief James Burkush, who argued that AMR had made great strides in addressing the prior issues.
"My primary concern is the safety of our citizens and performance," Burkush told the committee. "With confidence, I recommend they get the next contract."
Specifically, Burkush noted that AMR has set up a local billing office and had reached a provider agreement with the city's largest insurer, Anthem, following pressure from Mayor Ted Gatsas.
AMR was chosen over American Ambulance Services of New England, the other company vying for the five-year contract. American, a division of the Scandinavian company Falck, has been expanding into New England in recent years. The company won its first emergency contract in New Hampshire in April, when the Somersworth City Council voted 7-1 to select American over AMR.
At the core of the billing disputes with AMR were charges that could exceed $2,000 for a trip to the hospital. The final bill would often end up being lowered, but not before customers complained of a complicated and frustrating process dealing with AMR's billing office in Ohio.
Burkush said lower customer rates were part of the new contract. Burkush said AMR agreed to lower its rates after American, in its original proposal, proposed lower rates.
Burkush said that American's main disadvantage was that it didn't have experience contracting with a city the size of Manchester.
"We know some of the people involved (at American), but we were unable to contact a fire chief that had a similar system to us (for a reference)," he said.
Criticism, praise
The proposals were reviewed by a special ad-hoc committee that included the city's finance, legal and health directors, and Aldermen Dan O'Neil and Jim Roy, a former firefighter.
Roy strongly criticized the chief's recommendation, noting that all the department heads felt that American was the stronger candidate.
He also said he believed AMR's application should have been invalidated because it did not properly disclose legal actions against the company."That's probably the most glaring thing," Roy said. "One of the parts of the evaluation process is legal performance. If you got a zero on that, the way I read it, you're out of the process."AMR, which is the largest private ambulance company in the country, has faced legal action over its billing practices in several states. In 2011, it settled with the U.S. Office of the Inspector General, paying a $2.7 million fine and signing a "Corporate Integrity Agreement," related to practices in the company's New York City office.
O'Neil, however, said he now supported AMR. O'Neil had been among the most outspoken critics of the company, alluding to the difficulties his own wife faced in settling a bill.
At a meeting in March, he stated, "AMR lost the city's trust."
On Monday, O'Neil said that speaking with AMR's new CEO made him feel comfortable the company had changed course. If problems arise, he said, "I can call him on his cell phone."
O'Neil also pointed to a letter from the International Association of Fire Fighters, in Washington, D.C., that accused American of attempting to "manipulate" the bid process by suggesting that the union supported American.
The letter alludes to a communication from David Lang, the president of the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire, that it describes as "a one-way correspondence that implies IAFF support to a company where none exists."
American Chief Operating Officer Brendan McNiff said the letter in question was submitted to counter a false rumor that the company's parent company had a plan to offer private firefighting services.
McNiff also has a history with AMR; he was one of the executives who left amid a shake-up late last year.
Since the staff reorganization, top executives from AMR have flown into the city to meet with the mayor and other officials in an attempt to address the issues.
Gatsas has expressed support for AMR in recent months.
"I think they've been handling the job without issues the past five months," he said on Monday.
As for the position of his department heads on the contract, Gatsas said, "I'm going to sit down and talk with them about why they're leaning in that direction."
The full Board of Mayor and Aldermen is expected to vote on the contract at its July 2 meeting.

Madam, I'm Tommy: Lasorda's Name Turns Up In Prostitution Ring
In "Secrets of a Hollywood SuperMadam," an autobiography due in bookstores Thursday, Gibson names two dozen celebrities she says patronized her call-girl service.Now, it is possible that somebody gave her Lasorda's phone number as a guy who knows good lasagne. But if I'm Lasorda, I keep my mouth shut on this one. Suing her just drags the thing out further.
Many of the names also appear in her phone books, a payment log and other records from the case that have been unsealed by Los Angeles Superior Court and can now be viewed in unredacted form.
A review of the court file shows that Gibson listed actor Bruce Willis; former Dodgers Manager Tom Lasorda; Steve Jones, the Sex Pistols guitarist and KDLE-FM (103.1) radio jock; and the late film producer Don Simpson, among others.
Willis and Lasorda said through their lawyers that they never used Gibson's service and had no idea why their names appeared in her records. They accused Gibson of exploiting their fame to boost her book sales.
"I have never heard of this woman and don't know why she would accuse me of something like this," Lasorda said in a statement issued by his attorney, Tony Capozzola. "But if she prints these lies, I intend to sue."
Labels: dodgers
This site is about the Dodgers, and Lasorda has been parading about town as the face of the Dodgers for a couple of decades now. When someone says something of note about him in print, it usually gets linked here. And, if you didn't notice, most of what was bad that was said was in the quoted part, not Rob's actual writing.
Well, once again, the fix is in for their buddy Tommy - note that he is called TOM in the article throughout, whereas he is only referred to as TOMMY anywhere else in the paper since he got promoted from Albuquerque to teh coaching staff in the mid-70s.
Oh, and to anonymous: the "successful" in our society are the powerful and if they are not held in check by a free press that power will crush the rest of us. A good kick in the shins on occasion reminds thm all that their shit stinks too...

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Live Stream Football: Watch Free Online Champions League Soccer (2.45PM ET)
Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund is one of the biggest clashes in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. Real are reeling after losing to the German champions two weeks ago - a result that has seen Dortmund leap frog Real at the top of the table. The game is scheduled to kick off at 2.45 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream by clicking on the link below.
Real will be desperate to gain the win to rectify their loss a fortnight ago and reclaim the top spot in the fiercely competitive group.
This "group of death" contains the champions of Spain, Germany, England and Holland, and every team has to make every game count if they are to qualify for the group stages.
Borussia Dortmund currently sit on top of Group D, with seven points from their first three games, claiming two wins and one draw.
Meanwhile Real Madrid have only managed two wins and a loss, claiming six points so far at the half way point in the group.
However, should Ajax beat Manchester City today, and Dortmund claim another win against the Spanish champions, then Real's spot in the top two to qualify for the next round would be in the balance, as both Ajax and Real would be level on points with just two games to go.
Manchester City's inexperience in the Champions League is showing. The team that surprisingly overturned Manchester United and Chelsea in the English Premier League last season have struggled again on the European stage this year. They currently sit bottom of the group with just one point after two losses and a draw from their opening three games. They are basically out of the reckoning already unless they can turn things around monumentally by winning all three of their final three games, and even that may not be enough.
For the winner of tonight's game between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund they will have one foot in the next round. The game starts at 2.45 p.m. ET and can be watched free online through live stream by clicking here.

(Please see the Anima Blog for the previous post talking more about the fire)
Whitewater/Baldy Wildfire
May 27 Update and Latest Map
Now Level With Anima Sanctuary and Only 10 Miles East of Us
The Whitewater-Baldy continued it's mad race yesterday, the 50mph winds pushing the flames hard and fast. If the winds had continued being south winds blowing straight north, our Anima Sanctuary would already be burning by today (Sunday). In a single night the fire gobbled up another 20 plus thousands acres of forest ecosystem, to over 130,000 acres by this morning, a long thin spur of the fire has made it as far north as the Anima property, and only about 10 miles to the east of us!
Because the winds have shifted for now, the leading spur is continuing towards the northeast, while only slowly backing down to the west in our direction.
The winds are unlikely to shift towards the West or Northwest, but if they do we could be overrun in less than a day. If fortune holds out and winds continue blowing in a Northeasterly direction, it should take the fire as much as week to slowly spread west to us. Wind speed in another factor, with the winds blessedly having slowed a little today so far.
It turns out that there were no slurry planes available with this fire first started spreading. While the USFS press releases only talked about it being a "natural process" doing good things, some in the agency were stressing that the aircraft needed were stationed for use in Arizona and that nothing was available for use on The Whitewater/Baldy! And the reason we have had to go to Google satellite images for map updates, is that there have been no new USFS Inciweb maps in 48 hours due to there being only one available plane with Infrared mapping abilities in the region… and with it broken and waiting for repairs!
Once again we are impressed with the women and men sent out to manage these fires, and absolutely amazed at the ineptness and lack of preparedness on the part of the decision makers. To what degree this is a result of inadequate federal funding I do not know, but if we can fly constant surveillance planes and fighter jets over Afghanistan we damns sure should be able to keep Forest Service observation and slurry planes in the air over endangered communities and forests.
Trail Boss showed up to work more on the fire fighting sprinkler system being set up around our cabins. He hopes to be back in time to get it serviceable, and hopefully with a way to add a larger fuel tank to the water pump for longer run time. A bad time to have no other helpers, we will be looking in the village for workers to assist with evacuating our belongings if required.
The loss of our hand built homes, as little and hillbilly rustic as they are, would be awful, as we would struggle to remain residents and care-takers of this land. Losing the belongings that could not be removed in time, is sadder still, given their often rarity or sentimental associations. But these trees I saw sprout and grow over the course of these 33 years, the incredible botanical diversity we have assisted, the creatures and their homes, the nests of the birds and hideouts of the javalina, the squealing just-born elk babies, the ringtails smoked out of burrows, bobcats trying to move their young, the wild grape vines and woodbine that trellis over the trails… this thought, this possibility, we are most unable to bear.
We'll be close in touch. Thank you for you concern and love.

Sara Bittorf, Boston Market executive from Golden, is 'Undercover Boss'
Sara Bittorf, chief brand officer of Boston Market, based in Golden, went undercover for this week's installment of "Undercover Boss," (7 p.m. Friday on Channel 4) and the result wasn't just the usual eye-opening, aspirational reality TV. For the first time in the series' history, an employee was fired as a result of bad behavior witnessed up close by the undercover superior.
"My heart sank when I heard the things that were coming out of his mouth…" Bittorf said. The employee evidently was talking smack behind customers' backs. "I had to divulge who I really was and take care of it at the moment," Bittorf said by phone Tuesday.
Other than terminating an employee, the newcomer to Denver found carving chicken to be the most physically demanding part of the job. "Lifting the chicken onto the spit and into the oven and then taking the chicken off the spit onto the carving board," was tough. "I'm left-handed and all the equipment we have at Boston Market is made for righties. Now I'm committed to making our procedures more lefty-friendly."
The company, with over 460 stores and revenues over $500 million a year, has been based in Golden for years.
"I was 13 when I was a fry cook at Burger King. It's been a long time since I stood on my feet all day long." As a result of her experience, the company is now retraining people in how to use the break schedule software.

Unlike The AP, It Looks Like Reuters Recognizes The Future
from the worth-the-read dept
What's surprised me, however, is that competing "wire" services haven't stepped into the breach. It seems like a wide open opportunity for Reuters to step up and say "we want to work with everyone -- and we're not going to freak out if you send us traffic." While it hasn't gone that far, a talk given by Reuters' Editor in Chief, David Schlesinger, to the International Olympics Committee Press Commission on rethinking journalism suggests Reuters recognizes the future a lot more clearly than the AP, and is looking to embrace it fully, rather than block it, like the AP.
The whole thing is absolutely worth reading -- especially the bits where he knocks the IOC for its ridiculous restrictions on both athletes and the press on how they can report. For example, apparently the IOC got mad at Schlesinger himself because he took some photos and posted them to his blog. Since he was only accredited as a reporter, not a photographer, the IOC demanded he remove the photos. Here are a few choice snippets. At the beginning he notes just how much people are using social networks to communicate these days, and then he says:
But the point, I hope, is clear.He goes on to talk about how silly it is to think of "accreditation" and defining who is and who is not a journalist by pointing out that everyone is a journalist in some way. This isn't necessarily the "citizen journalism" trumpeted by some pundits, but a recognition that social networks make everyone the journalist of their own lives:
The old means of control don't work.
The old categories don't work.
The old ways of thinking won't work.
We all need to come to terms with that.
Fundamentally, the old media won't control news dissemination in the future. And organisations can't control access using old forms of accreditation any more.
Those statements mean what they say and not necessarily more.
I am not arguing that newspapers and magazines and news services will die.
No, just that they must change.
To say they can blog as long as it isn't journalistic, misses the point.And this is the point where traditionalists freak out and talk about putting up special walls. But, Schlesinger seems to recognize both how that's silly, and how the real response is to not freak out about the threat, but to embrace the opportunity:
To a 23 year-old athlete, used to putting out a "news feed" of every detail of her personal life and training on various social media platforms, there simply isn't a distinction.
Her life IS a news feed. Her blog IS a publishing platform. Her Facebook page IS the daily newspaper of her life.
And none of these things is really private. They can get indexed by Google; they get searched; they can be public to the world with a potential circulation of every single user of the internet.
Take this scenario: I will easily aggregate my imaginary athlete's comments and thoughts on winning or losing or on the standard of judging with tweets giving the audience perspective from various parts of the stadium. I'll then add that in with mobile phone camera pictures and video posted on Flickr and youtube.
Well, my friends, who really needs the rightsholders, AP or Reuters if you can do that?
Some may be frightened of the picture I paint. Some may think I exaggerate. I actually get energised.And, finally, he notes how silly it is to think that professional journalists are somehow above everyone else:
The only question I ask is: So what can we do to survive, or more fundamentally, to stay relevant?
I think the only path is to embrace the change and embrace the new. Longing for the ways of the past will not work.
We in the traditional media and you in the IOC must concentrate our efforts on defining and developing that which really adds value.
That means understanding what really can be exclusive and what really is insightful. It means truly exploiting real expertise.
It means, to my earlier point, using all the multimedia tools available and all the smart multimedia journalists to provide a package so much stronger than any one individual strand.
It means working with the mobile phone and digital camera and social media-enabled public and not against them.
Working against them would be crazy. Could you imagine gun toting guards trying to confiscate every phone off every spectator? That would become the story of the Games and it would ultimately fail, anyhow.
No, working with them is the answer.
Inspire them, and encourage them to do things that will enhance the Olympic spirit and actually improve the bottom line.
We have spent countless decades enveloping our activities in the cloak of professional mystery.That last bit applies to so many industries today. It's great to see that, at least via these words, it looks like Reuters is really looking to embrace what the technology allows, rather than pulling an AP and pretending it can somehow turn back the clock.
That era is over.
We must devote the time now to demystifying what we do, and working in concert with those who would seem to be a threat to the old order.
Remember that the world ultimately is a reciprocal place.
Treat people with respect and as partners, and they will partner with you.
Treat people as a threat or as criminals, and they will threaten your institution and ultimately bring it down.
This path doesn't have to be scary.

Starting today, while supplies last, Hot Topic will give fans the opportunity to own the limited-edition Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince T-shirt, available exclusively at the Hot Topic store at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Ned Cox scored 15 points Tuesday night as Evansville opened a big halftime lead, then eased to a 62-50 victory over Tennessee Tech in nonconference play.
Cox, who led all scorers and hit three 3-pointers while dishing six assists, led the Aces (3-2) to a 33-17 halftime lead. D.J. Balentine, who came off the Evansville bench to score 11 points, hit three treys himself.
In the second half, Tennessee Tech (3-1) outscored Evansville 33-29 but that wasn't nearly enough.
The Golden Eagles were just 19 for 50 from the floor (38 percent). They hit 7 of 18 3-point attempts. Dennis Ogbe led Tennessee Tech in scoring with 10 points, and guard Lanerryl Johnson came off the bench to score 10 more.
Evansville shot nearly 50 percent from the floor, connecting on 24 of 49 shots (49 percent). The Aces also had a 31-21 rebounding edge.

Ordinarily, this would be a normal day for Dominguez, riding in about seven races on the nine race program, five or six of them favorites, half of those the public's choice just because Dominguez is the jockey.
For fans of the sport in general and Dominguez in particular, Thursday's announcement was not a major surprise but was as devastating as it was unwelcome. It was what insiders feared. His progress had been steady, but very slow and not good enough.
The brain injury happened at Aqueduct this winter, the result of a spill in which Dominguez was kicked in the head by a trailing horse. How badly was he hit? Hard enough to crack the helmet jockeys wear to protect themselves from serious injuries like this.
Dominguez probably should not have been at Aqueduct at all in January, but filling engagements on the good-horse circuits instead and maybe pick up a winning classics mount.
For all his dominance, he has only a placing in the Derby and Preakness and a show finish in the Belmont in what be any other measure is an astounding career. Fate's finger is fickle alright, but this clearly was the cruelest cut, one he was fortunate to escape alive.
So there was no Florida or Louisiana for Ramon, riding the best horses on weekends by appointment only. Dominguez always has put family first; otherwise he surely would have moved to New York sooner. His statistics then, and now, are staggering:
He is Saratoga's all-time meet leading jockey with 66 victories; he's won three consecutive Eclipse Awards; compiled an across-the-board record of 4,985 wins (19th all-time), 3,855 placings and 3,159 thirds from 21,267 career mounts, earnings of nearly $192 million, (14th all-time), including a single-season mark of $25.6 million set last year.
That's 11,999 show tickets cashed from 21,267 opportunities, an in-the-money percentage of .564 to accompany his otherworldly career win ratio of 23.4 percent.
Dominguez was the New York Racing Association's leading rider from 2009-12, winning 20 individual meet titles. His 376 wins on the NYRA circuit four years ago were the most ever by a jockey without an apprentice allowance.
This kind of dominance is not only emblematic of a first-ballot Hall of Fame rider but it earns him inclusion among the sport's all-time elites.
I never saw Eddie Arcaro in his prime, but saw enough of the celebrated Manuel Ycaza, Bill Shoemaker, Pat Day, Braulio Baeza and Laffit Pincay Jr. to know what greatness on horseback looks like.
Then there were the latter-day greats that I've became more familiar with; Angel Cordero Jr., Jerry Bailey, Johnny Velazquez, Ramon Dominguez and now Joel Rosario coming up fast on the outside.
What separates these notables from other talented riders is confidence; the faith to make that split-second move, to wait the extra beat--anticipating, knowing, that the hole to victory will open.
The confidence horseplayers have when they bet their money on great riders is a large part of their winning process, getting a leg up because they know their jockey is going to out-think, out-ride, and out-finish those who would separate them from their money.
From the moment Dominguez moved his tack to New York full-time he gave bettors that confidence. They knew that their horse would almost always save ground, have something left for the finish, the race would shape in their favor and their rider wouldn't be outfinished.
In a game where jealousy is the rule and not the exception, I never met anyone—anyone—who has anything bad to say about Dominguez.
Ramon Dominguez leaves an indelible mark on Thoroughbred racing and his profession… as demonstrated by the respect he earned from his fellow jockeys," said Alex Waldrop, NTRA President and CEO.
"He's a world-class rider but he's even a better person," said Steve Rushing, Ramon's agent for 13 years.
"It's very sad," Todd Pletcher, "it shows you how dangerous it is… he's not only a talented rider but a terrific person."
"He certainly would be one of the best ambassadors the sport could have," said trainer David Donk.
"He's one of the most well-mannered, genuinely nice guys you'll ever meet," said jockey Rajiv Maragh, "I was in the room with him every day and he always tried to help his peers."
Two years ago I had a cup of coffee as a horse owner, had fun and even won a race. That day Ramon rode Dubai Connection as if it were a graded stakes, not a $7,500 claiming race. There's no feeling like winning a race with a horse you own and Dominguez was the difference.
There will be no races to ride in on Father's Day. He will not have a Gary Stevens-type moment, and in time he'll live with that. On Sunday he'll be home with his wife Sharon and the two boys, Alexander and Matthew. They've always been his top priority.

Could another Kardashian baby be on the horizon? It seems so as Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Khloe Kardashian is revealing that she is indeed trying to have a baby with her hubby of 3 months, Lamar Odom.
This news comes just three weeks after older sister Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to son Mason Disick, her son with boyfriend Scott Disick.
You can see photos of Kourtney and her son Mason here!
Khloe had the following to say when asked about becoming a mother during a Wednesday radio interview for 104.3 MY FM's Valentine in the Morning, Khloe says, "I want to so badly! That's a goal for me." She then qualifies: "I'm 25. I'm not rushing it."
She however hints she isn't doing anything to prevent not having one either, "I'm also not doing anything to prevent it…I want to, we both want to, we're in an ideal situation." When the radio host asks if husband Lamar, 30, is aware that she's off all forms of birth control, she quickly replied, "Oh, he knows. Lamar wants to have a baby tomorrow!"
This doesn't come as a surprise as Khloe had a pregnancy scare in an earlier episode of their reality show. Good luck to Khloe and Lamar, but perhaps they might want to continue learning more about each other before bringing in a baby, you know, considering they got married after 1 month of dating.

Hungary Scraps Plans to Regulate Lobbying
The Hungarian government has no plans to regulate legislative lobbying, a government official said this week surprising participants of a roundtable discussion who had expected some regulation which they say will prevent corruption.
"The Lobby Act failed to work in Hungary, we're not planning to have anything similar," Bence Retvari, state secretary of the ministry of justice said of previous legislation that was canceled last year.
Noemi Alexa, head of Transparency International in Hungary, said the government pledged in its anti-corruption program to have a new regulation on lobbying by May 31, but the scrapping of the plan "raises important issues."
"Lobbying and advocacy is an important factor in democratic processes. A close relationship between the private and public sector increases the possibility of corruption; therefore an operational lobby regulation, which would align lobbying with Hungarian practices, is essential," Ms. Alexa said.
Lobbying in Hungary was regulated between 2006 and 2011 by legislation based on practices from elsewhere in Europe and the United States. This legislation wasn't without flaws, representatives of Transparency International, the state and interest groups present at the roundtable discussion agreed.
"Sanctions were never carried out, the law ill-fitted Hungarian customs and processes," Ms. Alexa said, while Mr. Retvari, the government official, said the previous regulation was "hypocritical, just a beauty spot on the system."
The government now intends to strengthen sector-based advocacy with best practices and self-assessment coming from the interest groups themselves, he said. "We would like a model that's built on chambers and interest groups which then consult ministries," Mr. Retvari said.
To illustrate its point, Transparency International mentioned a new Hungarian regulation on retailing tobacco products, saying it was a fruit of unregulated lobbying, heavily influenced by industry participants. Mr. Retvari didn't comment on those claims and in earlier remarks officials have said they didn't see anything inappropriate in the process.

Attention, senior citizens: A 111-year-old school building has been renovated into a new independent senior living facility in western Independence.
The newly remodeled facility is like a "high-end hotel," says one tenant.
Mount Washington Senior Apartments, at 507 S. Evanston Avenue in Independence, opened its doors for qualifying seniors ages 55 and older a couple weeks ago. The former Mount Washington School has been converted into 45 one- or two-bedroom apartments that average 700 square feet.
"The people here treat me with dignity and are extremely helpful," said Joyce Jeffrey, one of the first tenants who moved into the redeveloped building.
The apartment complex is a low-income housing tax credit property as part of the federal Affordable Housing Program, said Mount Washington property manager Vanessa Gahagan. In order for seniors to become residents, they must make no more than $30,840 in income annually or $35,220 between two people. All apartments come furnished with a 40-inch Smart TV and kitchen appliances, such as a microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. Utilities, such as water and trash, are covered under the lease, but a resident is responsible for electricity, said Jeffrey.
The property is owned by Sherwood Associates, a Minnesota-based developer, and features several amenities, such as an auditorium that has over a 100-foot projection screen for movies or presentations, fitness room, plus a walking trail and community garden hoped to be completed by summer.
"The building's owner, George Sherwood, specializes in old building renovations," said Gahagan. "To make it into a senior living facility was right for this particular building in the community."
Christina Leakey, with the Independence Community Development Department, said the Mount Washington School building was originally part of the Independence School District's late 2007 annexation of seven properties from the Kansas City School District. The Independence district declared it as surplus property in 2008.
"The Independence School District determined it obsolete," said Leakey, "primarily because of accessibility issues."
She said a partnership was formed between the district and city to find a viable reuse for the fairly sizable property.
"Everyone understood the need to revitalize (the property). There was a need for senior apartment living."
The city eventually chose Sherwood Associates to convert the building into a senior apartment complex. The project had an overall investment of $10.6 million that included financial assistance from the city's Neighborhood Stabilization and HOME Programs, as well as state and federal Historic and Low-Income Housing tax credits. Elevator systems and ramps, located at each of the building's entrances, have been installed to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
Currently seven tenants live at Mount Washington Apartments and 14 more signed leases this past weekend, according to Gahagan.
And once Mount Washington reaches 60 percent of its maximum occupancy, NorthWest Communities Development Corporation will provide support services, such as transportation for grocery store visits, adult education, health screenings and fitness programs at the complex, said Howard Penrod, executive director of NWCDC.
"We will also provide residents opportunities to go on outings, like Royals games or casino visits," he said.
Leakey also says there is a "large demand for senior living" in Independence, and similar projects are currently in development.
"I referred three of my friends to move here as well," said Jeffrey.
For more information about Mount Washington Senior Apartments, contact Sherwood Associates at 612-332-3000.

5 killed in head-on crash on I-85 in Va.
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. —
Virginia State Police are investigating a crash on Interstate 85 in Brunswick County that left five people dead and closed all southbound lanes.
Sgt. Michelle Anaya says the collision occurred when a pickup truck traveling northbound on the southbound lane hit a car head-on around 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Anaya says four of those killed were in the car and one person was in the truck. It was unknown whether there were additional passengers in the pickup because of the magnitude of the crash.
Officials say it could take a couple of days before authorities are able to identify those killed.
The Virginia Department of Transportation says all southbound lanes remained closed Tuesday morning at mile marker 26 and traffic is being detoured.

Brazil's Balancing Act: Panel looks at competing interests
Discussion explored economic development, environmental protection and indigenous rights
During opening remarks for the panel discussion, "Brazil's Balancing Act," moderator Bruce Magid, dean of the International Business School, highlighted the importance of Brazil as an emerging economy, describing it with a well-known Portuguese phrase: a nação de amanhã, "the nation of tomorrow." "The eyes of the world have turned to Brazil, a country in the process of realizing its full potential," Magid said. "It is a country with many responsibilities to itself, not all of which are complementary."
The event, held on campus last week, brought together a panel of experts working in diverse fields – including economic development, international business, environmental protection, international law, human rights and indigenous rights – to explore the impact of such competing demands on Brazil's economy.
Brazil faces many of the conundrums faced by other developing economies:
• Brazil has the largest economy in Latin America – one of the most dynamic economies in the world – yet 21.4 percent of population lives below the poverty line.
• Brazil is home to world's largest intact rainforest – but government restrictions that in recent years significantly reduced deforestation have been relaxed. Development of Brazil's plethora of natural resources can build economic growth and threaten the environment.
• Brazil is also home to the largest number of uncontacted indigenous tribes. The Brazilian constitution recognizes the rights of indigenous people to live in traditional territories according to traditional lifestyles, and includes various government protections to ensure that right. Yet the government has not provided the funds for education and health care, and indigenous people have low literacy rates and high child mortality rates.
The panelists each used the context of their area of expertise to consider the problems Brazil is facing in protecting its indigenous population against its rapid urbanization and industrialization.
Dr. Daniel Luis Gleizer, parent of a 2010 Brandeis alum, and vice president at Banco Itau BBA, one of Brazil's largest banks, gave the audience a crash course in the macroeconomic history of Brazil, putting into perspective the country's recent growth. "There needs to be effective and immediate social policy to address the legacy of poverty within Brazil," he said.
Fernando Ribeiro Delgado, a lecturer at Harvard Law School and a clinical instructor at the school's International Human Rights Clinic, voiced concern over human rights violations in Brazil as a consequence of economic development.
Delgado's work focuses on the Inter-American human rights system and on human rights and criminal justice issues. He has conducted oral arguments in several cases before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and is currently co-counsel in litigation concerning the Brazilian prison system before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
"Old solutions that depend on displacing 20,000 people, and submerging large sections of rainforest without following the regular safeguards won't actually even be good for the economy, in the long run," argued Delgado, "… because what the globe needs now is new ways forward that are sustainable in all senses and compliant with human rights law."
Professor Cristina Espinosa of the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis, a social scientist and anthropologist concerned with sustainable development, highlighted the complex issues surrounding sustainable development and the challenges facing indigenous peoples. "Some people say if we give [indigenous people] autonomy, they will separate. What they really want is to be recognized as citizens of Brazil, as they are," said Espinosa. "If they want to develop, that's their right, and that is something that is still not recognized."
Dr. Moises Lino e Silva, a lecturer at Brandeis, is teaching the University's first course on "The Rise of Brazil," which "examines how Brazil now wields global influence in energy, South-South politics, culture and environmental affairs." Recently, he was selected as a World Social Science Fellow by the International Social Science Council of UNESCO. His expertise on notions of indigeneity, and analysis of how such ideas impact the position of indigenous peoples in Brazil, contributed significantly to the proceedings.
Lino e Silva cautioned that there is a tendency to generalize too much about the needs and wants of indigenous peoples – and that there are some common misunderstandings between indigenous and non-indigenous populations, at times a consequence of differing cultural values.
Dr. Biorn Maybury-Lewis, executive director of the Cambridge Institute for Brazilian Studies, an NGO established in 2011 to disseminate objective, non-partisan, research-based information on Brazil and Brazil-U.S. relations, shared his expertise on the complex issues surrounding development and wealth disparity in Brazil. He drew upon his deep knowledge of the challenges facing the less privileged sectors of the Brazilian population, including indigenous people.
"Indigenous people make up less than one percent of the country's population," Dr. Maybury-Lewis explained, "yet these are 817,000 people who will suffer if their rights are not protected." According to Dr. Maybury-Lewis, "it is not a matter of if development will affect them, but how it will affect them."
Brazilian business leader and Brandeis parent Mr. Daniel Feffer, (parent of a member of the class of 2016), also contributed to the conversation during the Q&A with the audience. In addition to his leadership of a family-owned paper company, Feffer is president of the Instituto Ecofuturo and a member of the Council of Economic and Social Development, which was created by former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva to facilitate discussion of government policies among trade union confederations, the business sector, intellectuals and religious leaders in Brazil.
Feffer shared his perspective as a businessman deeply engaged with issues of the environment. "I believe there's a lot to be done between government, entrepreneurship, and NGOs, working on the 'triple bottom line' when we speak of sustainability" he said.
The event was organized by the International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life and the Brandeis International Business School's Perlmutter Institute for Global Business Leadership. See the event webpage and Facebook page for details and links to resources related to the conversation.

IPM1024, Revised October 2010
In any integrated pest management program, the first logical step is to recognize the pest. Control measures depend upon accurate identification. Grasses occurring as weeds are difficult to identify in their vegetative stages, particularly in the one- to two-leaf seedling stage of growth. At this stage, you often need to identify the grass to make important management decisions. Many grasses do not flower until late in the growing season, after they have already had an impact on crop yields.
Accurate identification is also important in the early growth stages because smaller grasses are easier to control with conventional management tactics than larger grasses. Smaller grass seedlings are more susceptible to lower dosages of herbicides, and thus greater control can be achieved while minimizing control costs.
Figure 1Yellow foxtail has flat stems.
Several obvious features help you narrow the list of potential species when identifying a grass plant. First, consider the life cycle. Because some grasses are not present at certain times of the year, these can quickly be eliminated from the list. For example, you would not expect to encounter a warm-season annual grass, such as giant foxtail, in March. Likewise, winter annual grasses, such as downy brome, die back with the onset of late spring and early summer temperatures and are not present during the summer months.
The shape of the stem is another feature that is easy to determine. Most grasses have round stems, but several others have distinctly flat stems. Knowing the several common grasses that have flattened stems, you can quickly reduce the list of potential species. Some of the common grasses with flattened stems are barnyardgrass, goosegrass, orchardgrass and yellow foxtail (Figure 1).
If the stem has a triangular shape, the plant is most likely a sedge, not a true grass at all. This is an important determination because management for a grass is much different than management for a sedge. Rate and herbicide selection for control of sedges are much different. Some herbicides that are specifically designed to control grasses have no effect on sedges.
Because grasses have subtle distinguishing characteristics, it is especially important to use a hand or pocket lens with 10× magnification power. Most identifying characteristics are contained in the collar region. The collar region can be seen by carefully pulling the leaf blade back from the stem (Figure 2).
After pulling back the blade, look for the ligule. The ligule, if present, is a small projection that appears as a membrane or a tuft of hair at the base of the leaf blade (Figures 3–4). The hand lens allows you to view this structure and aids in grass identification.
Some grassy weeds have auricles, small fingerlike structures that appear to clasp around the stem at the collar (Figure 5). Common grasses with auricles that can easily be seen include annual and perennial ryegrass and quackgrass. Like broadleaf weeds, grasses vary in the amount and location of hairs on their surfaces (Figures 6–7).
For example, a key difference between large and smooth crabgrass is that large crabgrass is covered with dense hairs while smooth crabgrass has few, if any, hairs.
Another example is the difference between Missouri's three most common foxtails. Giant foxtail's upper leaf surface is covered with a dense layer of hair; yellow foxtail has only sparse hairs on the section of the upper leaf blade closest to the main stem; and green foxtail's upper leaf surface is entirely smooth. The ability to recognize these features will help you accurately identify grass species with the identification key.
Figure 2Carefully pull back the blade to reveal the collar region.Figure 3No ligule.
Figure 4Membranous ligule.Figure 5Auricles clasp around stems.
Figure 6Densely hairy grass plant.Figure 7Smooth leaf blade surface.
This publication is designed to assist those in agricultural and horticultural settings to identify grassy weed species. The following photographs and written descriptions will help you compare your samples for positive identification. The photographs help compare characteristics of grass species at immature as well as mature stages of growth. For effective management, positive identification of any pest, including weeds, is paramount.

In a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said he doesn't plan to pursue another RFA from an opponent this summer, added he was close to resigning Jakub Voracek, and claimed his pursuit of RFA Shea Weber was only because of his stature _ and not because he is unhappy with his defense.
"We have to move forward," he said.
Holmgren hinted that the Bobby Ryan trade talks are not dead.
"You are asking me to comment on a player on another team. I don't think I can do that," he said. "We look always to make our team better. We like our team. We are trying to add to our team without subtracting if at all possible, and make it better yet. We will see what the rest of the summer brings."
Holmgren may go back to Anaheim and try to acquire Ryan _ and perhaps attempt to deal some of the draft picks he would have lost to Nashville if the Predators didn't match the 14-year, $110 million offer sheet for Weber.
Anaheim reportedly asked for Sean Couturier and Brayden Schenn in earlier trade talks with the Flyers, who do not want to deal the promising forwards
Holmgren said veteran winger Shane Doan wants to remain in Phoenix, but that if he has a change of heart, the Flyers have interest.
The GM said he envisions Voracek on a line with Claude Giroux.
If the season started today, these could be the lines:
B. Schenn-Briere-Simmonds.
And, yes, the 6-foot-2, 209-pound Ryan would bolster that speedy-but-smallish lineup. Ryan, 25, a Cherry Hill native who has scored more than 30 goals in each of the last four seasons, has said he wants to play for the Flyers.

Yeah, but where's the keyboard?
Just joshing you, RIM, this tablet looks to potentially kick some corporate butt.
BlackBerry's RIM announced today it's player in the tablet-computing market: the PlayBook. Making the rounds on Twitter, it seems to be building a pretty solid -- if preliminary -- buzz. Having a snazzy soundtrack-laden video ready to roll also helps. And the official site displays the features and specs with equal snazz.
According to engadget.com the device "... will sport a Cortex A9, 1GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 7-inch display, webOS-like app switching, an e-reader component, full document editing, and pairing with BlackBerry phones." (Click here for their story.)
But wait ... there's more.
This little beauty is tricked-out with HDMI, USB and both front and rear cameras. Basically, if you were holding one of these in a poker game, you could get all Cool Hand Luke and "kick a buck" against your iPad-wielding friends.
Going back to the marketplace relevance: syncing with existing handhelds. Businesses have long clung to their BlackBerrys because of their high security level, protecting
pornographic secret-business emails.
If the PlayBook gets approved by the bean counters, then expect a slew of mid-level management types to get in line for one -- restoring what little 'cool' they had left in their child's eyes.
One thing missing? The price. RIM is mum on that key detail.

Town set to auction Mary Foss SchoolBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
October 01. 2013 1:21AM
SALEM — In March, voters approved a request by selectmen to sell the old Mary Foss School on Lawrence Road. This month, the town is ready to put the building up for auction.
The school was built in 1924 and until earlier this year was occupied by several service organizations, including Greater Salem Caregivers, Rockingham Community Action and Servicelink. Last year, selectmen approved a plan to allow Greater Salem Caregivers to rent space within Town Hall that was once used by the state's Department of Motor Vehicles.
The aging building had multiple issues that led to the town decision to sell, including a failing furnace and insulation issues, according to Town Manager Keith Hickey.
The auction is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 17, at 3 p.m. at the property at 287 Lawrence Road. The auction is being conducted by St. Jean Auctioneers of Epping.
The minimum bid the town will accept for the property is $150,000. The assessed value is $410,100.
In addition to its use as a school and home for social service organizations, the 7,479-square-foot building also served as the town's senior center until the Ingram Senior Center opened about a decade ago.

Project Description
The GTI research team will evaluate and test a hybrid molten bed (HMB) gasification process for producing syngas from a coal/natural gas feed. The HMB gasification process potentially offers several benefits over conventional gasifiers including higher efficiency, higher yield of electricity or diesel, lower cost of electricity or diesel, lower costs for carbon capture, and lower capital costs due to simpler plant layout. The project team will conduct techno-economic analyses for plants based on conventional slagging gasification and HMB gasification producing both power and diesel and including carbon capture.
Project Benefits
This Gas Technology Institute project is conducting techno-economic evaluations and laboratory testing of a hybrid molten bed (HMB) gasification process with coal and natural gas co-feeding to produce syngas with high hydrogen to carbon dioxide ratio. HMB gasification has the potential for improvement in operational performance and reliability of advanced coal-based power and liquid fuels generation compared to conventional gasification processes. Lowered cost and increased performance of high hydrogen syngas production would enable liquid fuels production or power generation with decreased cost and lower environmental emissions.

text: Marcia Selsor 1,615 Report post Posted November 10, 2012 Glad you had success. When I began teaching my students and I built a wood fired raku kiln and would spend the day firing batches. It brings back great memories of being set up on a ridge above the campus and the city with mountains beyond in beautiful Big Sky country. We would do many many firings per day. At the end of the day, the bed of coals only needed a few split pieces of 2 x 4. Raku is a great experience for students and can teach much about the processes. Refiring bubbled glazes is a good example. Marcia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — The nation's acting drug czar promised more coordination with Canada on drug trafficking issues Tuesday and highlighted his northern border strategy by touring an area in North Dakota where authorities say heroin and other drugs are being pushed by motorcycle gangs and Mexican cartels.
Michael Botticelli, acting director of the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy, told The Associated Press he picked the oil patch as a backdrop because of the administration's focus on combating the growing drug problem in the prosperous Bakken region. He said the area's proximity to the Canadian border also was a factor.
"Obviously with the explosion in terms of the oil industry and people, there have been some significant issues that are related to larger crime issues," Botticelli said in an interview before a press conference in Minot. "I think it really kind of highlights our overall strategy on the northern border and particularly our work here."
The population in the North Dakota oil patch grew an estimated 17 percent between 2005 and 2012, driven by the addition of more than 20,000 jobs. Crime in that period went up 32 percent. Violent crimes — including murder, aggravated assault, forcible rape and robbery — ballooned by 121 percent, according to the updated northern border report released Tuesday.
While the report doesn't specifically provide for more money for federal crime stoppers in North Dakota, U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp said Botticelli's visit should help gain support with a Congress that spends "a tremendous amount of focus and energy and dollars" on southern border issues.
"We struggle every day, literally, in the United States Senate to get attention to the northern border," said Heitkamp, a North Dakota Democrat.
The 54-page update to the original 2012 report emphasizes improving intelligence and information sharing with Canadian authorities and enhancing capabilities at the port of entry stations along the 5,000-mile line. Ecstasy and marijuana are the most significant Canadian drug threats to the United States, while the U.S. remains the primary transit country for cocaine into Canada from South America.
The document emphasizes the use of airplanes, helicopters, unmanned aircraft and boats to monitor illegal drug activity, including along mountain valleys in Washington and Idaho and coulees in Montana. The Great Lakes also form a long, mostly rural coastline that allows some vessels to travel undetected, the report says.
There also are plans to improve communication with officials on tribal lands that have been fertile ground for drug dealers and an area where local and state authorities are hampered by lack of jurisdiction. There are Indian reservations within close proximity to the northern border in North Dakota, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin and New York.
A recent federal investigation on the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota, dubbed "Operation Winter's End," netted 67 defendants, most of them for heroin.
Timothy Purdon, U.S. attorney from North Dakota, said the federal response on the oil patch has been robust, evidenced by bumping up the number of FBI agents in Minot from one to five during the oil boom. But drug cases often come down to the "local cop on the beat" and those agencies "desperately need more resources," he said.

China's sub-£100 PC launches
Unveils P4-speed successor
A Chinese PC vendor has begun shipping a box with its homegrown Godson CPU, with a price tag of between $175 to $200. Thanks to current exchange rates, that's under £100. Eventually, though, OEM ZhongKe Menglan Electronics expects to sell the unit for $125.
Processing is powered by the Godson-2 chip, also known as Longxhin, a co-production between the Beijing Longxin IC Design Company (BLX) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ZME's Godson-2 runs at 800Mhz to 1GHz, according to the EE Times, includes 256MB of DDR memory, and a 40 to 60GB hard disk. Not a specification to worry Dell, but plenty enough horsepower to run Linux.
It's the rapid pace of China's technological progress that most impresses outsiders, however.
Today the Chinese Academy of Sciences gave details of the latest Godsin/Longxin, which the Academy claims is comparable to an Intel Pentium 4. Depending on whether you prefer the Academy's naming convention or BLX's, the new chip is called the Godson-2E, or the Longxin IIE. It boasts 47m transistors, has a clock speed of 1GHz, and mass production is expected towards the end of this year.
The academy says it's working on 8 to 16-core versions too, to debut in the Godson-3.
Observers in the past have described Godsin as a MIPS derivative.
The CAS denies that Godson/Longxhin owes MIPS any IP royalties, arguing that it conducted due diligence to avoid infringing MIPS patents.
The sub-£100 PC represents an important milestone in more than one respect. It not only prices a PC as low as a PDA, but lower than the lowest retail price of a copy of Microsoft Windows. ®

Our utilitarian intuitions push us toward feeling that everyone's interests should count equally, that we shouldn't give favoritism to some just because they're more mighty or wealthy. On the other hand, these equality intuitions face problems of their own: How do we weigh different brain sizes and types? How do we even count brains? Presumably Chinese citizens and a whole China brain both count? How much each? Where do we draw the boundaries of these minds? How do we compare the strengths of conflicting preferences for two different minds? This becomes very complicated, and one might be tempted to throw up one's hands and say that this equality business is just too hard and arbitrary. The only thing that's not arbitrary is the outcome of bargaining given the universe's chosen initial endowments. Should we just accept that? My intuition says no, because, for instance, it leaves vast numbers of powerless animals and future generations in the dust except insofar as certain powerful humans happen to care about them.
When we encounter moral disagreement, one intuitive response is to say, "Ok, you care about X, I care about Y, so let's adopt a compromise morality of (X+Y)/2." We can then keep doing this across enough people and get basically a preference utilitarianism that resolves moral disagreement. However, the problem is, Over what set of individuals do we aggregate these preferences? Do we include animals? China brains? And with what weights? Including these other agents seems more fair in an equality sense, but if we do so, other powerful people tend to object and say that we're inflating the weight of our utilitarian morality vis-a-vis their non-utilitarian morality by including these extra preferences in the calculations. They might push for something closer to efficiency based on status-quo endowments of power.
One example where this comes up is with debates over nature preservation. I claim that reducing primary productivity is probably net good for wild animals in the long run. (This ignores potentially detrimental effects on global stability. Therefore, I'd recommend curbing ecosystems in ways that have low negative or even positive impacts on international cooperation and peace in the long run.) Others claim that the intrinsic value of nature outweighs the pain of individual animals. Just considering these two viewpoints, one might try to adopt a stance somewhere in the middle. However, when we also consider the preferences of all the animals who actually have to be eaten alive in the wild on equal footing with the (weak) personal preferences of the conservationists, the balance would shift to a stance of opposing wilderness so strongly that the pro-wilderness views would be negligible in the calculation. But the pro-wilderness people don't like this; they may object that this framework of dispute resolution is somehow unfairly biased in my favor. Or maybe they would assert that nature itself has some sort of preference not to be perturbed, and this preference is strong enough to outweigh quintillions of suffering animals.

Companies with tens of thousands of British workers have spelled out the potential damage to their business, turning up the heat on the UK government as it struggles to agree a plan for trade with the European Union.
The latest siren comes from Jaguar Land Rover, which said Thursday that a bad deal would jeopardize £80 billion ($106 billion) in planned investment and slash its profits by £1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) a year.
BMW ( BMWYY ) and Airbus ( EADSF ) have also issued warnings in recent days. But Jaguar Land Rover, the UK's biggest carmaker with 40,000 employees, is the first major company to put a specific figure on the potential hit to profits of new trade barriers with the European Union.
Businesses and industry groups have long complained about uncertainty over the government's plans, but their interventions have grown more insistent as the Brexit clock ticks down and Prime Minister Theresa May brings her divided cabinet together for a vital meeting.
We can read events from a file (or extract them from the trigger channel) and pass them as a parameter when calling the method. The events are plotted as vertical lines so you can see how they align with the raw data.
We can also pass a corresponding "event_id" to transform the event trigger integers to strings.
We can check where the channels reside with
. Notice that this method (along with many other MNE plotting functions) is callable using any MNE data container where the channel information is available.
We used
to color code the different regions. It uses the same algorithm for dividing the regions as

. You can also pass a list of picks to color any channel group with different colors.
Now let's add some ssp projectors to the raw data. Here we read them from a file and plot them.
The first three projectors that we see are the SSP vectors from empty room measurements to compensate for the noise. The fourth one is the average EEG reference. These are already applied to the data and can no longer be removed. The next six are the EOG projections that we added. Every data channel type has two projection vectors each. Let's try the raw browser again.
Now click the
button at the lower right corner of the browser window. A selection dialog should appear, where you can toggle the projectors on and off. Notice that the first four are already applied to the data and toggling them does not change the data. However the newly added projectors modify the data to get rid of the EOG artifacts. Note that toggling the projectors here doesn't actually modify the data. This is purely for visually inspecting the effect. See
to actually remove the projectors.
Raw container also lets us easily plot the power spectra over the raw data. Here we plot the data using
to map the line colors to channel locations (default in versions >= 0.15.0). Other option is to use the
(default in < 0.15.0). See the API documentation for more info.
Plotting channel-wise power spectra is just as easy. The layout is inferred from the data by default when plotting topo plots. This works for most data, but it is also possible to define the layouts by hand. Here we select a layout with only magnetometer channels and plot it. Then we plot the channel wise spectra of first 30 seconds of the data.
