I don't eat meat, so I put together a veggie masterpiece with tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella, caramelized onions, crushed garlic, olives and roasted red peppers topped with goat cheese and a pinch of truffle salt. The sauce was a blend of tomato and basil pesto on a firecracker crust. Service was fast and friendly even during the weekday lunch rush. I think I'm in love...

Article: "The first Ottoman Medrese was created in İznik in 1331 and most Ottoman medreses followed the traditions of Sunni Islam." "When an Ottoman sultan established a new medrese, he would invite scholars from the Islamic world—for example, Murad II brought scholars from Persia, such as ʻAlāʼ al-Dīn and Fakhr al-Dīn who helped enhance the reputation of the Ottoman medrese". This reveals that the Islamic world was interconnected in the early modern period as they travelled around to other Islamic states exchanging knowledge. This sense that the Ottoman Empire was becoming modernised through globalization is also recognised by Hamadeh who says: "Change in the eighteenth century as the beginning of a long and unilinear march toward westernisation reflects the two centuries of reformation in sovereign identity." İnalcık also mentions that while scholars from for example Persia travelled to the Ottomans in order to share their knowledge, Ottomans travelled as well to receive education from scholars of these Islamic lands, such as Egypt, Persia and Turkestan. Hence, this reveals that similar to today's modern world, individuals from the early modern society travelled abroad to receive education and share knowledge and that the world was more interconnected than it seems. Also, it reveals how the system of "schooling" was also similar to today's modern world where students travel abroad to different countries for studies. Examples of Ottoman madaris are the ones built by Mehmed the Conqueror. He built eight madaris that were built "on either side of the mosque where there were eight higher madaris for specialised studies and eight lower medreses, which prepared students for these." The fact that they were built around, or near mosques reveals the religious impulses behind madrasa building and it reveals the interconnectedness between institutions of learning and religion. The students who completed their education in the lower medreses became known as danismends. This reveals that similar to the education system today, the Ottomans' educational system involved different kinds of schools attached to different kinds of levels. For example, there were lower madaris and specialised ones, and for one to get into the specialised area meant that he had to complete the classes in the lower one in order to adequately prepare himself for higher learning.
Question: Where were Ottoman madaris built?
Ans: near mosques

Article: Viviparous mammals are in the subclass Theria; those living today are in the marsupial and placental infraclasses. A marsupial has a short gestation period, typically shorter than its estrous cycle, and gives birth to an undeveloped newborn that then undergoes further development; in many species, this takes place within a pouch-like sac, the marsupium, located in the front of the mother's abdomen. This is the plesyomorphic condition among viviparous mammals; the presence of epipubic bones in all non-placental mammals prevents the expansion of the torso needed for full pregnancy. Even non-placental eutherians probably reproduced this way.
Question: What is present in all non-placental mammals?
Ans: epipubic bones
Article: In March 1861, Victoria's mother died, with Victoria at her side. Through reading her mother's papers, Victoria discovered that her mother had loved her deeply; she was heart-broken, and blamed Conroy and Lehzen for "wickedly" estranging her from her mother. To relieve his wife during her intense and deep grief, Albert took on most of her duties, despite being ill himself with chronic stomach trouble. In August, Victoria and Albert visited their son, the Prince of Wales, who was attending army manoeuvres near Dublin, and spent a few days holidaying in Killarney. In November, Albert was made aware of gossip that his son had slept with an actress in Ireland. Appalled, Albert travelled to Cambridge, where his son was studying, to confront him. By the beginning of December, Albert was very unwell. He was diagnosed with typhoid fever by William Jenner, and died on 14 December 1861. Victoria was devastated. She blamed her husband's death on worry over the Prince of Wales's philandering. He had been "killed by that dreadful business", she said. She entered a state of mourning and wore black for the remainder of her life. She avoided public appearances, and rarely set foot in London in the following years. Her seclusion earned her the nickname "widow of Windsor".

Willett, 27, has been paired with American Larry Mize and Australian amateur Byron Meth for the first two rounds at Augusta National.
"We used to go to Anglesey in Wales for two weeks in the summer and play the same nine-hole golf course three or four times," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"I think the longest club you hit was probably a seven iron on this par three course in the middle of a sheep field.
"You skip it forward 17 years and you've got an invite to the Masters. It's just a bit crazy really."
Willett, who is currently ranked 51st in the world, turned professional in 2008 after winning the English Amateur championship in 2007.
He climbed into the top 50 of the rankings in December last year after winning the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa.
His group will be the second to tee off on Thursday and Willett believes that his place in the field is a reward for his perseverance.
"There's been a lot of hard work and good information. That's what being a good athlete comes down to," he said.
"A lot of people get good information but don't work hard and then they wonder why they aren't achieving what they want to.
"This is my seventh year on the Tour and in itself it is a great achievement every year to keep doing what you are doing.
"It's all going in the right direction and I've just got to keep working hard and hopefully keep getting better."

Background: Diana Frances Spencer was born on 1 July 1961, in Park House, Sandringham, Norfolk. She was the fourth of five children of John Spencer, Viscount Althorp (1924-1992), and his first wife, Frances (nee Roche; 1936-2004). The Spencer family has been closely allied with the British royal family for several generations. Both of Diana's grandmothers had served as ladies-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth
Context: Their engagement became official on 24 February 1981. Diana selected a large engagement ring that consisted of 14 solitaire diamonds surrounding a 12-carat oval blue Ceylon sapphire set in 18-carat white gold, which was similar to her mother's engagement ring. The ring was made by the Crown jewellers Garrard. In 2010, it became the engagement ring of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. The Queen Mother gave Diana a sapphire and diamond brooch as an engagement present. Following the engagement, Diana left her occupation as a kindergarten assistant and lived for a short period at Clarence House, which was the home of the Queen Mother. She then lived at Buckingham Palace until the wedding. Diana was the first Englishwoman in 300 years to become the spouse of an heir apparent, and she was also the first royal bride to have a paying job before her engagement. She made her first public appearance with Prince Charles in a charity ball in March 1981 at Goldsmiths' Hall, where she met the Princess of Monaco. Twenty-year-old Diana became Princess of Wales when she married the Prince of Wales on 29 July 1981 at St Paul's Cathedral, which offered more seating than Westminster Abbey, a church that was generally used for royal nuptials. The service was widely described as a "fairytale wedding" and was watched by a global television audience of 750 million people while 600,000 spectators lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the couple en route to the ceremony. At the altar, Diana inadvertently reversed the order of Charles's first two names, saying "Philip Charles" Arthur George instead. She did not say that she would "obey" him; that traditional vow was left out at the couple's request, which caused some comment at the time. Diana wore a dress valued at PS9,000 with a 25-foot (7.62-metre) train. After she became Princess of Wales, Diana automatically acquired rank as the third-highest female in the United Kingdom Order of Precedence (after the Queen and the Queen Mother), and was fifth or sixth in the orders of precedence of her other realms, following the Queen, the relevant viceroy, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen Mother, and the Prince of Wales. Within a few years of the wedding, the Queen extended Diana visible tokens of membership in the Royal Family; she lent the Princess the Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara, and granted her the badge of the Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II.
Question: What happened after she got married?
Answer: After she became Princess of Wales, Diana automatically acquired rank as the third-highest female in the United Kingdom Order of Precedence
Question:
Andrew Carnegie ( kar-NAY-gee, but commonly KAR-n@-ghee or kar-NEG-ee; November 25, 1835 - August 11, 1919) was a Scottish-American industrialist, business magnate, and philanthropist. Carnegie led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century and is often identified as one of the richest people (and richest Americans). He became a leading philanthropist in the United States and in the British Empire. During the last 18 years of his life, he gave away about $350 million to charities, foundations, and universities--almost 90 percent of his fortune.
Among his many philanthropic efforts, the establishment of public libraries throughout the United States, Britain, Canada and other English-speaking countries was especially prominent. In this special driving interest and project of his he was inspired by meetings with philanthropist Enoch Pratt (1808-1896). The Enoch Pratt Free Library (1886) impressed Carnegie deeply; he said, "Pratt was my guide and inspiration". Carnegie turned over management of the library project by 1908 to his staff, led by James Bertram, (1874-1934). The first Carnegie library opened in 1883 in Dunfermline. His method was to build and equip, but only on condition that the local authority matched that by providing the land and a budget for operation and maintenance. To secure local interest, in 1885, he gave $500,000 to Pittsburgh for a public library, and in 1886, he gave $250,000 to Allegheny City for a music hall and library; and $250,000 to Edinburgh for a free library. In total Carnegie funded some 3,000 libraries, located in 47 US states, and also in Canada, Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the West Indies, and Fiji. He also donated PS50,000 to help set up the University of Birmingham in 1899. As Van Slyck (1991) showed, the last years of the 19th century saw acceptance of the idea that free libraries should be available to the American public. But the design of the idealized free library was the subject of prolonged and heated debate. On one hand, the library profession called for designs that supported efficiency in administration and operation; on the other, wealthy philanthropists favored buildings that reinforced the paternalistic metaphor and enhanced civic pride. Between 1886 and 1917, Carnegie reformed both library philanthropy and library design, encouraging a closer correspondence between the two.

he was inspired by meetings with philanthropist Enoch Pratt (1808-1896).
Problem: Background: John Charles Wiltshire-Butler (born 1 April 1975), known professionally as John Butler, is an Australian singer, songwriter, and music producer. He is the front man for the John Butler Trio, a roots and jam band, which formed in Fremantle, Western Australia in 1998. The John Butler Trio has recorded five studio albums including three that have reached number one on the Australian charts: Sunrise Over Sea, Grand National and April Uprising. His recordings and live performances have met with critical praise and have garnered awards from the Australian Performing Right Association and Australian Recording Industry Association.
Context: The early sessions for the John Butler Trio's sixth studio album commenced in mid-2013, following the band's largest tour of the US. For the first time in the band's lifetime, the members began with a blank songwriting slate, rather than using the initial ideas of Butler that had been introduced. Butler gathered with Luiters and Bomba at The Compound in Fremantle, Western Australia, which serves as the band's headquarters and the frontman's artistic space, and co-wrote material for the first time, deviating from the Butler-centric process of the past: "I had always brought the material." After contributing a large portion of work towards the album, Bomba eventually left the Compound space to work on his Melbourne Ska Orchestra project and was replaced by Grant Gerathy. Butler explained in an interview during the band's US tour: But a lot of these songs on this album I kind of magpied. Magpies are this bird in Australia that takes shiny things from anywhere and builds its nest, and so that's kind of what I do. I'll take a little of my own experience of having some heavy party time with certain friends, and then I'll hear some other stories about addicts or other intense relationships. I'll put them into the mixing pot and make up these characters to explore different possibilities and emotional landscapes. One of the songs on the album, "Wings Are Wide", was written as a dedication to his grandmother, who gave Butler his grandfather's Dobro guitar that became the foundation for his songwriting. Butler admitted that "I wasn't at all into roots music or playing the slide or anything when I got it, and it sat under my bed for a long, long time." Released in Australia on 8 February 2014, Flesh and Blood was produced by Jan Skubiszewski and features a vocal duet with Ainslie Wills.
Question: Is there an example of a song he magpied ?
Answer:
|
One of the songs on the album, "Wings Are Wide", was written as a dedication to his grandmother,

Q: If the dance calls for formal attire, rent or buy a suit and wear a button-down shirt and tie underneath. You can opt for an optional vest or cumberbund under the suit, too. Or go without a jacket altogether and stick with nice dress pants and a button-down for more semi-formal dances. If you’re going with a date, coordinate with them first to see if part of their outfit can match yours. If your date is a girl, their dress, top, or accessories could match your shirt, tie, or vest/cumberbund. Get dress shoes made of leather or similar material. Match them with the color of belt that you’re wearing. Wear a nice leather belt, and choose a watch and a piece of jewelry if you like, such as a ring or a simple necklace. Get cufflinks to fasten the sleeves of your button-down shirt. You can wear a top hat or other dressy hat if you want, but anything like a cap or beanie isn’t acceptable for a formal dance. For a prom or other very formal dance, you can follow the tradition of wearing a boutonniere that complements your outfit and a girl’s corsage. You can tell your date what color to buy you, or you can just buy or make your own! Wear your boutonniere pinned to the lapel of your suit.

Problem: Article: Mark the spots on the pillow with a pencil where your chest, waist and hips are, according to the measurements you've just taken. This may be challenging to get through, but it is worth the patient effort required. The end result should be shaped a little like a human torso. This is to check that you've pinned the pillow in accurately. If the measurements don't match your initial ones, then keep adjusting with the safety pins. If it matches, move on.
Summary: Use the pillow as the body of the mannequin. Gather some of the leftover material on the pillow to adjust the pillow to the size and shape of your body, and pin it tightly into the shape of your measurements––take it slowly and do this with care, so as not to stab yourself with the pins. Once the pillow is adjusted, measure all three areas with the measuring tape.
INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Evaluate what you believe makes you happy. You may have been taught that working hard, making lots of money, and living in a big house are what bring joy to your life. But ask yourself if the stress and anxiety you feel by maintaining that life make you happy. Even if they do, there are so many other aspects of life where you can find contentment. Look at other areas in your life to find happiness, like your family, friends, pets, and spirituality. By focusing on them and allowing yourself to feel the contentment they may bring, you may learn that you actually do deserve to be happy and finally allow yourself to feel that way. . Think about everything you are thankful for when you are feeling happy. Take the time to stop and look around and notice the things in your life that are going right—they don’t have to be huge. A beautiful sunrise, a neighbor who brings up your trash cans, or even a friend who sends a funny text are all things you can be grateful for. Acknowledging them may help you understand that you are worthy of being happy. Practice an act of kindness that will bring happiness to someone else when you are feeling joyful. Doing so will likely bring you a sense of happiness that you don’t have to feel guilty about since you were helping someone else. In turn, your act of kindness may inspire that person to do the same for someone else, which may create a chain of paying it forward. This may finally help you realize that feeling good isn’t a bad thing and that it can help others. . Spend time serving others so that they can experience the same feelings of joy like you. Think about what your hobbies and interests are, and then spend time doing them with those who are less fortunate than you. Volunteering may help you make a connection with others and bring joy to their lives, which may ultimately make you feel less guilty about experiencing it yourself. Sign up for an after-school program that lets you, tutor kids. Volunteer to work with the animals on a local farm. Just do things that you like that also allow you to share your time and talents for the good of others.
SUMMARY: Redefine what happiness means to you. Practice gratitude Pay it forward. Volunteer
Q: While bleach is a common laundry-whitening agent, it can react with certain kinds of fabrics and create a yellowish discoloration. It is especially important to avoid using bleach on wrinkle-resistant cotton, polyester, or polyester blends. Instead of trying to brighten up your white shirts with chlorine-based bleach, add 1 cup (about .25 liters) of lemon juice to your wash along with your regular detergent. Wash only white clothes with lemon juice, as it can cause colors to fade. If your white shirts are coming out of the wash with yellow or orange stains or discoloration, iron in your water may be the culprit. Get a home water-hardness testing kit at your local home supply store, or contact a certified water testing lab in your area and find out how to get a sample of your water tested for iron. If you live in the US, visit the EPA’s water lab network website to find an accredited lab in your area: https://www.epa.gov/waterlabnetwork. Iron stains are very difficult to remove from clothing, so the best way to protect your white shirts is to treat your water. If your tests indicate that your water is high in iron, you may need to install a home water filter or water softening system designed to treat iron-rich water. If you are not comfortable installing your own water filter or softener, contact a professional plumber. Someone at a certified water testing lab in your area may be able to advise you on the best type of filtration system for your home.
A:
|
Minimize your use of bleach. Use lemon juice as a bleach alternative. Check for iron in your water supply. Install a water filtration system if there is iron in your water.

As the 74 people on a climate change research ship stuck in the ice in Antarctica readied for New Year's Eve festivities, authorities revealed plans to send in a rescue helicopter. The Russian-flagged MV Akademik Shokalskiy has not moved in a week since getting stuck in unusually thick ice on Christmas. The people on board say they are holding up fairly well. "The group on this ship is incredibly collegiate," said Alok Jha, a science correspondent for The Guardian newspaper, told Anderson Cooper 360. "There are a lot of skills and things people are sharing with each other." Chris Turney, an Australian professor of climate change at the University of New South Wales, said there are regular briefings on the status of rescue attempts, and in the meantime, people are doing what they can to keep busy. That includes yoga and Spanish classes, Jha and Turney said. Turney said it was raining hard Monday, and visibility was deteriorating. The forecast for the next 24 hours called for more of the same. Officials said a helicopter from a nearby Chinese ship will be used in the airlift, but rescuers must wait for conditions to improve. In preparation, crew members of the Akademik Shokalskiy have marked a spot on the ice where the helicopter can land, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said. The helicopter, which can transport 12 people each trip, will take the ship's 52 passengers -- who include the research team and journalists -- to the Chinese icebreaker Xue Long. An Australian icebreaker, which tried unsuccessfully to reach the research vessel, will send a barge to pick them up. The 22 crew members of the Akademik Shokalskiy will stay aboard, the maritime agency said. "People are sort of seeing the end in sight and just keeping morale up," Turney told CNN. "It's New Year's Eve tonight, so there are all sorts of plans." That includes the singing of an original song written by one of the passengers and dancing, Jha said. And there may be good spirits -- both emotional and alcoholic, Jha and Turney said. The Akademik Shokalskiy passengers said it wasn't a bad place to be stuck. The scenery is beautiful. Penguins have been walking up to the ship and sniffing around, checking out their new neighbors. Close, but no rescue. The expedition to gauge the effects of climate change on the region began on November 27. The second and current leg of the trip started on December 8 and was scheduled to conclude with a return to New Zealand on January 4. The vessel got stuck in the ice 15 days after setting out on the second leg. Turney said the ship was surrounded by ice up to nearly 10 feet (3 meters) thick. It was about 100 nautical miles east of the French base Dumont D'Urville, which is about 1,500 nautical miles south of Hobart, Tasmania. On Christmas morning, the ship sent a satellite distress signal after conditions failed to clear. The Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis suspended efforts early Monday to reach the expedition because of bad weather. The ship got within 10 nautical miles but then turned back. The attempt by the Australian icebreaker followed one by the Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, which was six nautical miles from the trapped vessel when it couldn't get any closer because of the ice. It returned to open water and remained in the area to provide support, said Andrea Hayward-Maher, a spokeswoman for the maritime authority.

IN: Maurice White (December 19, 1941 - February 4, 2016) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger, and bandleader. He was the founder of the band Earth, Wind & Fire. He was also the older brother of current Earth, Wind & Fire member Verdine White, and former member Fred White. He served as the band's main songwriter and record producer, and was co-lead singer along with Philip Bailey.
With Maurice as the bandleader and producer of most of the band's albums, EWF earned legendary status winning six Grammy Awards out of a staggering 14 nominations, a star on the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, and four American Music Awards. The group's albums have sold over 90 million copies worldwide. Other honors bestowed upon Maurice as a member of the band included inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, The Songwriters Hall of Fame and The NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame. White brought the kalimba into mainstream use by incorporating its sound into the music of Earth, Wind & Fire. He was also responsible for expanding the group to include a full horn section - the Earth, Wind & Fire Horns, later known as the Phenix Horns. White began showing signs of the Parkinson's disease in 1987, and was finally forced to retire from Earth Wind & Fire in 1994. He retained executive control of the band and was still very active in the music business, producing and recording with the band and other artists. Messages of encouragement from celebrities including: Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Boyz II Men, Smokey Robinson, Isaac Hayes, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine were published for White. From time to time, after his retirement, he appeared on stage with Earth, Wind & Fire at events such as the 2004 Grammy Awards Tribute to Funk, and alongside Alicia Keys at Clive Davis's 2004 pre-Grammy awards party where they performed the band's 1978 hit "September".

IN: Anberlin was an American alternative rock band formed in Winter Haven, Florida in 1998 and disbanded in 2014. Since the beginning of 2007, the band consisted of lead vocalist Stephen Christian, guitarists Joseph Milligan and Christian McAlhaney, bassist Deon Rexroat, and drummer Nathan Young. Members of Anberlin originally formed a band under the name SaGoh 24/7 in 1998, releasing two studio albums before disbanding, with the members having a change in musical direction and name. Anberlin was formed in 2002; within a year of forming, they had signed with semi-independent record label Tooth & Nail Records and released their debut album, Blueprints for the Black Market.
In an interview with Common Revolt, Stephen Christian stated that the band had begun work on their next album. A few songs had been written, including one with the working title "Control" (later renamed Orpheum), and a song influenced by the events in Egypt (later confirmed to be "Someone Anyone"). The band announced via Facebook and e-mail in February 2012 that they would be returning to Aaron Sprinkle to record their upcoming album. The band recorded their first three albums with Sprinkle; not only is he a good friend of the band but also a fan favorite. The band will begin recording around the start of March, and are not expected to be finished until May. In a recent interview, Stephen Christian announced their new album is finally done. On June 11, during the Nashville show of their acoustic tour, Stephen Christian announced that the title of the new record would be Vital, calling the record "their most aggressive to date" and also announced a fall release date. On July 31, the band announced on their official website that Vital was to be released on October 16. The new album's opening track, "Self-Starter",' was streamed on Billboard.com for free listening on August 17., and the album's second single, "Someone Anyone" was released on August 22. Infectious Magazine reported on October 26, 2012 that the band had already "made a lot of headway writing for the next record". The band released "City Electric" on September 20, 2013. It is the first of three new and previously unreleased tracks from their rework of Vital, Devotion which was released on October 15, 2013.

If you're cutting the rigid foam for a specific project, measure the length and width you will need it to be. Compare these dimensions to the length and width that your rigid foam insulation currently has to make sure it's long and wide enough. For more precise measurements, check the length and width 2-3 times. Place your straightedge ruler on the rigid foam insulation and use it as a guide while you make the mark. Draw a line with your permanent marker along the side of your straightedge, then check the marking to make sure it's precise. It's better for your markings to be a few inches or centimeters too large at first than too small. You can always cut more foam later, if necessary. Keeping the board flat while you cut will help you make a precise cut. If you don't have a work table, find a flat and smooth surface for cutting your foam insulation. Do not cut rigid foam insulation on decorative tables unless you lay out a protective barrier, like a knife block. You risk accidentally scratching the table. Use rubber clamps to secure both sides of the insulation to the work surface. Secure the straightedge alongside the cutting line to help you make a precise incision. This will keep the rigid foam insulation from shifting or sliding while you cut it.
Summary: Measure your cut with a straightedge ruler. Mark your cutting line on the foam with a permanent marker. Lay the rigid foam insulation on a flat surface. Clamp the rigid foam to the flat surface.
Many physicians and allergy specialists can offer skin and blood tests to determine which foods may be causing your symptoms. Celiac disease results from an immune system reaction to gluten that is caused by the development of antibodies working to attack gluten like a foreign substance in the body. A biopsy of the small intestine can be collected and study to confirm whether gluten intolerance is caused by Celiac disease or a simple sensitivity. In individuals with Celiac disease, the villi (similar to small hairs lining the inner intestinal walls) are often damaged and matted under the magnification of a microscope lens. Visual inspection of the intestines can help identify whether the gluten sensitivity is caused by true Celiac disease or another condition. Because Celiac disease damages the small intestine’s villi, which absorb nutrients from food, individuals with the disease may suffer from vitamin deficiencies. Individuals with gluten intolerance do not necessarily have difficulty absorbing nutrients from other foods, unless the intolerance is actually caused by Celiac disease.
Summary: Get an allergy test. Get a blood antibody test. Take a sample of the small intestine. Perform an endoscopy or camera pill swallow. Check for vitamin deficiencies.
Use a coffee can or similarly shaped container as your quenching chamber. Pour in water or vegetable oil so it’s 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) from the rim of the container. Make sure the oil or water is at room temperature. This step should be done before heating the steel, as the steel should be quenched immediately after removing from heat. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/1a\/Harden-Steel-Step-4-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Harden-Steel-Step-4-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/1a\/Harden-Steel-Step-4-Version-3.jpg\/aid1214287-v4-728px-Harden-Steel-Step-4-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"} Water is great for rapidly quenching the hot metal, but it could cause thin steel to distort or crack. Vegetable oil has a higher boiling point, so the hot steel will take longer to cool and reduce the chance of it cracking. However, oil may spill and create a fire hazard if the steel is put into the oil too quickly. The water or oil will continue to boil as the heat transfers from the steel. Keep the steel completely submerged until there is no more steam or bubbles, which should only take a few minutes. Set the steel back on your work surface when you’re finished.
Summary: Fill a heat-safe container with water or oil deep enough to submerge your steel. Remove the steel from the quenching medium when it stops bubbling.
Your home environment may have a lot of obstacles and conditions the cat either may adapt after several months or years, or not at all. Some obstacles that are typically more difficult to overcome are young children and existing pets, especially dogs. High levels of patience are required and it helps if you are able to provide a dedicated room for the cat the first few months. This helps the cat adjust to new territory and will likely pay off in the end by establishing a warm relationship.
|
Summary: Help your cat adapt to the new home environment. Provide lots of encouragement for the cat.

Dubai's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum inaugurated a free zone for e-commerce today, called Dubai Internet City. The preliminary stages of the project, the only one of its kind according to its designers, are estimated at $200 million. Sheikh Mohamed, who is also the Defense Minister of the United Arab Emirates, announced at the inauguration ceremony that "we want to make Dubai a new trading center." The minister, who has his own website, also said: "I want Dubai to be the best place in the world for state-of-the-art technology companies." He said companies engaged in e-commerce would be able to set up offices, employ staff and own equipment in the open zone, including fully-owned foreign companies. The e-commerce free zone is situated in north Dubai, near the industrial free zone in Jebel Ali, the top regional and tenth international leading area in container transit. The inauguration of Dubai Internet City coincides with the opening of an annual IT show in Dubai, the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (Gitex), the biggest in the Middle East.
What question would one ask from this paragraph?
QUESTION: Why was an e-commerce free zone inaugurated in Dubai?
Rivers flowing over gentle slopes move more slowly. They move much more slowly than a mountain stream. These slow moving streams create different types of features than mountain streams. Slow moving water erodes the sides of their channels more than the bottom. Also, large curves in the stream form. These curves are called meanders. Meanders are caused by erosion and deposition. Remember, faster moving water causes erosion more quickly. Slower moving water erodes material more slowly. If water is moving slowly enough, the sediment being carried may settle out. This settling out, or dropping off, of sediment is deposition. The curves are called meanders because they slowly wander over the land. As meanders erode from side to side, they create a floodplain. This is a broad, flat area on both sides of a river. Eventually, a meander may become cut off from the rest of the river. This forms an oxbow lake.

QUESTION: Do mountain streams flow more slowly than rivers flowing over gentle slopes?
Take a look at this train in Figure 1.11. It looks very futuristic. What do you notice about it? Did you notice that the train has no wheels? How can a train have no wheels? It doesn't need wheels. It actually floats, or levitates, just above the track. Magnets enable the train to do this. This is not a normal train. This is a maglev train. The word maglev stands for magnetic levitation. Because it has no wheels, there is no friction. Some magnets hold the train up. Other magnets are used to move the train forward. This train can go very fast. It can reach speeds up to 480 kilometers (300 miles) per hour! Magnets are pretty cool. What exactly is a magnet? How is it able to exert such force?
What question would one ask from this paragraph?
QUESTION: Are maglev trains able to travel at high speed?

Osman Iqbal, who was an officer based in Birmingham, was jailed in September for seven years for running a brothel.
Iqbal, 37, whose crimes can only now be reported in full for the first time, was in court again on Wednesday, when he admitted three misconduct offences.
Ch Insp Martin Brennan said Iqbal's "greed had been his downfall".
The crooked policeman's double life as a gangster was unveiled as a result of his decision to drive the Ferrari to Kings Heath police station.
Colleagues became suspicious and West Midlands Police's counter-corruption unit began investigating.
Officers discovered Iqbal, from Ward End, had bank accounts for two non-existent businesses that were being used to launder "hundreds of thousands of pounds" from brothels in the Covent Garden and Marylebone areas of London.
During their investigations, detectives also found Iqbal had attempted to access police intelligence systems.
Iqbal was asked by Nahiem Ajmal, a Birmingham religious leader, to obtain information on behalf of Sajad Khan, West Midlands Police said.
It was for these crimes that Iqbal appeared in court on Wednesday, admitting three counts of misconduct in public office. Ajmal and Khan were both convicted of the same offence.
The lifting of restrictions means it can now be reported that Iqbal is already serving a seven-year sentence.
He was jailed in September along with other gang members after admitting conspiracy to run a brothel, conspiracy to launder money and possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
Ch Insp Brennan, from the serious and organised crime unit, said: "Their greed was their downfall and when they were seen driving around in their supercars it didn't take us long to piece together exactly what they were up to and take action."
Insp Tracey McGrath said: "Occasionally there are people who disgracefully betray the public and even their own colleagues by exploiting their status for their own gain.
"Let me reassure people that my counter-corruption team are on to people like Iqbal and there's nowhere for them to hide.
"In this case we'll be looking to seize all the assets Iqbal acquired as a result of his criminal activity and his police pension too."
Ajmal, 35, from Bucklands Lane in Hodge Hill, and Khan, also 35, from Lodge Road in Hockley, are due to be sentenced along with Iqbal for misconduct in public office on 9 February.

Input: Raducu Prutianu was hired to work renovating the flagship London store. The 35-year-old first stole steel partitions to sell for scrap. He then returned to steal aftershave and spectacles worth more than £30,000. Prutianu came to the UK from Romania five years ago with his wife and children. Southwark Crown Court heard he had previous convictions for fraud. He was jailed for two years after pleading guilty to the 'substantial theft'
Output: By. Darren Boyle. Radcu Prutianu, pictured, stole £30,000 of designer goods from Boots on Oxford Street on his first night renovating the flagship London store. A builder helped himself to £30,000 of designer goods on his first shift when he was hired to renovate Boots on Oxford Street. Raducu Prutianu, 35, even stole steel partitions to sell for scrap metal, Southwark Crown Court heard. The court heard that Prutianu arrived in the UK five years ago from Romania with his wife and two daughters, turning to crime because he was 'at a low ebb'. But the judge Recorder Robert Rhodes QC, was unimpressed and jailed him for two years. He said: 'This was a substantial theft in breach of trust. 'It was the first night that you were working and had no direct relationship with the victim, in this case Boots. 'It was clear that you had carried out two trips - first to take the steel partitions and then stealing spectacles and aftershave valued at over £30,000. 'You were trusted by your employer to work that evening and you breached their trust deliberately.' Prutianu also has convictions for fraud after he conned tourists with street gambling games. On previous occasions he was given community orders and suspended sentences that he breached numerous times. Prutianu from Welling, Kent, pleaded guilty to a single count of theft. Prutianu made two trips from the Boots store on Oxford Street, pictured, first taking steel partitions to sell for scrap before returning for £30,000 worth of aftershave and spectacles. Southwark Crown Court, pictured, heard that Prutianu arrived in Britain five years ago from Romania and turned to crime as he was at 'a low ebb'
Input: The Pentagon tells Congress it hopes to interst India in its most expensive weapon. The top-of-the-line F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is still being tested. But India recently rejected purchase of other U.S.-built fightrers. Arms sales are seen as a way to cement relations between the U.S. and India.
Output: The Pentagon is portraying India as a major customer for U.S. military equipment, worth an estimated $6 billion in the past decade, even as U.S. companies are shut out of a multibillion dollar bid for fighter jets that India is starting this week. In the newest edition of a congressionally mandated report, the Defense Department signaled that it was hoping to interest India in its top-of-the-line and most expensive weapon, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, still being tested. Arms sales, as well as more frequent military exercises and exchanges, are seen as an important ways to cement ties between the two countries. But India doesn't always buy American. Recently, India considered and then rejected a major purchase of U.S. F-16 and F-18 fighters, a expensive setback for U.S. arms sales and the U.S. aviation industry. That deal -- now between the Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon -- is a reminder of the vast sums in play. "With a potential contract price of US$9 billion to US$14 billion, this is the single biggest competition in the global defence aviation industry at the moment and offers both bidders a much-needed opportunity in a major market," said James Hardy, Asia Pacific Editor at IHS Jane's Defence Weekly said in a statement. Arms sales, as well as more frequent military exercises and exchanges, are seen as an important ways to cement ties between the two countries. The Defense Department downplayed any suggestion that arms sales and other contacts could backfire and that next-door Pakistan may feel new pressure both in its already-strained relationship with Washington and with its historical enemy, India. "It's important that none of us think about relationships in this region as a zero-sum game," said Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Robert Scher at the Pentagon. "We have valuable relationships with Pakistan and valuable relationships with India and these things can co-exist." Scher signaled that he hoped the relationship, and the arms sales would continue to grow. "I think there is a great potential to do much more," Scher said in a briefing at the Pentagon. "India sees the U.S. as a reliable defense supplier and we have been able to provide some top-of-the-line equipment. Is there some potential for more? Certainly there is. That is for the government of India to decide" Lisa Curtis of the Heritage Foundation, a long-time observer of U.S. and Indian affairs, said the report should be a catalyst to deepen defense ties and possibly lead to a loosening of present export and licensing controls. "The Defense Department offer to provide India with information on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter sends a clear signal that the U.S. considers India one of its most important future defense partners and is willing to consider co-production of some of its most sophisticated defense technology," Curtis told CNN. The Pentagon's government-to-government program of foreign military sales to India have included C-17 and C-130 aircraft, radar systems, Harpoon weapons and specialized tactical equipment. Any consideration of India's role in the region must include China and U.S. concerns about the Chinese modernization of its armed services especially its navy. "The attention given to maritime security cooperation in the report should be seen in light of a series of maritime incidents in which Chinese naval vessels have challenged other countries' naval vessels in the South China Sea," Curtis said. "It is clear that the U.S. views India as a leader in helping to maintain freedom of navigation in the Indian Ocean region and will likely look for ways to enhance India's involvement in maritime security endeavors throughout the Indo-Pacific in the future."
Input: 42 miners remain trapped in the two coal mines in southwestern China. Days of heavy rain caused a mine at Niupeng in Guizhou province to flood. "Rain-saturated earth on the surface collapsed into a shaft" at another pit in Guangxi.

Two separate incidents at coal mines in Southwest China over the weekend left at least three miners dead and 42 trapped, state media reported. Days of heavy rain caused a mine at Niupeng in Guizhou province to flood on Saturday morning; while "rain-saturated earth on the surface collapsed into a shaft" at another pit in Guangxi around noon the same day, killing three miners, Xinhua said. The report added that more than 1,000 police, firemen, and paramilitary personnel joined the mission to rescue the trapped workers at Niupeng. By Monday the water level at the mine had dropped but was still 40 meters (131ft) higher than where 23 of the miners are believed trapped, according to reports from China National Radio. Local authorities said the heavy rain may have caused a previously dry river to rise, while possibly increasing the water level in underground rivers around the mines. According to Xinhua, the Niupeng mine's investors have already been detained by the police. At Guangxi, high concentrations of gas prevented workers from using machines to dig out another 19 trapped miners trapped at a depth of 390 meters (1,200ft), China Daily said. 50 other miners were reported to have escaped the cave-in. Continued rain on Sunday further complicated the rescue effort, it added. "The rescue team is only equipped with shovels and rail track cars", Meng Qingguan, head of the Heshan Work Safety Bureau, told CCTV on Saturday. Mining accidents are not uncommon in China, as very few of the mines follow the government's safety regulations. According to the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety (SACMS), almost 2,500 miners were killed in mine accidents in 2010. However, the head of SACMS, Zhao Tiechui, said Tuesday that the number of miners dead or missing from accidents had decreased by 35% from last year, with just 807 dead so far in 2011.

(CNN) -- The lucky winner of an auction for a George Zimmerman painting selling for about $100,000 could see the artwork personally delivered by the former neighborhood watchman himself. The eBay posting originally stated that the portrait would be sent via expedited shipping from Sanford, Florida, but in a response to a buyer who wanted to drive from Arkansas to pick up the painting, the terms changed. "The price it is at now has well exceeded my $.99 minimum; therefore, whoever wins within the Continental United States, will receive this painting delivered by me personally," the reply says. The 18-by-24-inch canvas features a blue, waving American flag with the words, "God, one nation, with liberty and justice for all" emblazoned across it.

Text: Wooden boats loaded with tourists cause a massive traffic jam at Thailand's famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a historic collection of vendors that has become completely over-run by tourists. Located in the Ratchaburi province, about 100 km west of Bangkok, this traditional floating market primarily functions now as a tourist attraction - in fact were it not for the visitors on water market tours the ancient tradition may not be able to stay afloat. The practice is steeped in history, however, as these markets were originally the only way that fruits and vegetables were sold in many places in the Thai kingdom. Scroll down for video. Wooden canoes loaded with tourists cause a traffic jam at the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi, Thailand. Located about 60 miles west of Bangkok, this traditional floating market is a place where tourists can buy locally grown fruits and vegetables. Vendors paddle along the congested canals selling their produce, such as bananas, papayas, corn, cabbage and onions. Originally, the canal was dredged to connect the Taachin River and the Maklong River, during a time when transportation was almost motionless. Today, many people live along both sides of the canal - the majority of whom are farmers who grow oranges, grapes, papayas, cabbages and onions. There are countless floating markets throughout the country, though this one is particularly noteworthy for its colourfully-clad merchants and congested canals. Bargaining is common practice as individuals selling souvenirs and food paddle along the water in sturdy canoes, but prices are often only negotiable by a few baht. Steeped in history, these floating markets were traditionally the only way that vendors could transport their goods from city to city. It's common practice to bargain prices down, though most are not negotiable by more than a few baht. A favourite tourist destination, some vendors also offer souvenirs and photo opportunities, such as the chance to hold a snake. To avoid the inevitable crowds, experts suggest visiting in the early morning. By 8am, the market will begin to fill up quickly. To beat the crowds, experts suggest visiting in the early morning. Between 8 and 11 am, the market quickly fills up with hundreds of vendors and tourists. Tours of the market are also available, with some even including a stop at the Phra Pathom Chedi in nearby Nakorn Pathom, which is believed to be the largest pagoda in Southeast Asia. To see all floating markets in one fell swoop, boats can be hired to take tourists to Ton Khem, Hai Kui and Khun Phithal for about 300 baht per hour.
Highlights: Located in the Ratchaburi province, 60 miles from Bangkok, this floating market is a top tourist attraction. Vendors selling fruits and vegetables paddle canoes along the canal, selling to tourists and locals. Canal was originally built to connect the Taachin River and the Maklong River, under the reign of King Rama IV.
Text: A German cruise liner said Tuesday it plans to fly its passengers over the Gulf of Aden, instead of sailing them through, out of fear of pirate attacks in the region. U.S. Navy image of pirates operating off coast of Somalia in October this year. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises said all 246 passengers and most of the crew aboard the MS Columbus, currently at the start of an around-the-world cruise, will disembark at an undisclosed port, then fly to Dubai to continue their journey. The company called the move a precautionary measure. Pirate attacks in the waters off Somalia have shot up this year, with pirates staging increasingly bolder attacks on ever-bigger targets. So far this year, pirates have attacked almost 100 vessels off Somalia's coast and successfully hijacked nearly 40, according to the International Maritime Bureau. Freight and cargo ships, cruise liners, and private yachts have all come under attack. In many hijackings, pirates take the crew and passengers hostage while they demand a ransom. The problem has forced companies like Hapag-Lloyd, that use the Gulf of Aden, to make new plans, including stepping up security or changing their routes. One shipping company announced last month it would bypass the region altogether, sailing instead around the Cape of Good Hope and adding thousands of kilometers to its voyages. Read more about how to solve the pirate problem here. Hapag-Lloyd said a general travel warning for the area, issued by the German Foreign Ministry, played a part in the decision. But the company also said it had asked the German government for naval protection and the request was turned down. Representatives of Hapag-Lloyd and the German Defense Ministry could not immediately be reached for further comment. The passengers on board the Columbus began the first leg of their world cruise November 28 in Genoa, Italy and are due in Dubai on December 17, according to Hapag-Lloyd's Web site. Further stops include Singapore, Bali, Indonesia and Sydney, Australia. Hapag-Lloyd said that after the passengers and most of the crew disembark, the Columbus will sail through the Gulf of Aden with a skeleton staff. The passengers will stay in a five-star hotel in Dubai for three days until the Columbus arrives to take them back onboard, the company said. Both the crew and passengers approve of the safety measure, Hapag-Lloyd said. The U.S. State Department and British Foreign Office advise those traveling near the Somali coast to use extreme caution because of the recent pirate attacks. Last week, the Australian government issued a similar warning about travel to the region. The advice also urged Australian ships "to apply a robust and layered protective security regime" when traveling through the area. -- CNN's Frederik Pleitgen contributed to this report.

Problem: Job Hunting in CSR: Why Science And Technology Graduates Should Consider A Career In Sustainability
Pursuing a career in corporate social responsibility and sustainability has for the longest time been considered the best fit for liberal arts majors, commerce lovers and business development addicts, i.e., professionals and job seekers with backgrounds in marketing, public relations, and communication.
These claims have some validity. In fact, the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship (BCCCC) released an insightful report earlier this year, profiling the profession of corporate citizenship. One of their findings:
“An overwhelming majority (93%) are career changers with a background in a different field or position, with 44.6% from communication-related fields, 24.2% from PR, 22.6% from corporate communications, and 23.9% with a background in marketing.”
Now, an argument is challenging this status quo, calling the claim hollow and even detrimental to the field of sustainability. The argument is slowly gaining momentum.
Akhila Vijayaraghavan,a graduate in molecular biology from the University of Glasgow, U.K. who has studied environmental management as well as international environmental law, argumes:
“Everything in the environment is linked to something else; and therefore it needs to be thought of as a whole system in order to arrive at solutions. By some quirk of brain mechanism, a certain kind of people are drawn to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields and through natural inclination and academic training, graduates from these fields are taught to think holistically. These are the kind of people that need to be given opportunities in the environmental field.”
Admittedly, there is a wide career gap when discussing CSR, sustainability and science.
Think about it: How many people who graduate with a degree in engineering, mathematics, technology or scientific research, work in the nonprofit sector or seek opportunities in human resources, strategy or operational sustainability?
Vijayaraghavan’s analysis then provides useful–and much-needed–perspective for the many students gravitating toward STEM fields but not necessarily equating their academic leanings with environmental and social issues.
On my invitation, Vijayaraghavan explained.
Write a one or two sentence summary.
Summary: Pursuing a career in CSR and sustainability has always been assumed as best fits for liberal art majors or professionals and job seekers with a background in marketing, PR and communication. Why this assumption must change. And soon.
Problem: The drive to kill Airbnb is a war on the future
The drive to put Airbnb out of business in New York is a classic example of vested interests trying to use state power to stop the future.
Behind the war on Airbnb is the Hotel and Motel Trades Council, a labor union that seems obsessed with the idea that the “sharing economy” is a threat to its members’ jobs.
Of course, that’s not the danger you hear of. No, the warnings are about “dangerous lodgings,” as in the recent study for the Senate Independent Democratic Conference — which flagged 91 Airbnb listings as possibly dangerous because the hosts said they could accommodate 13 or more guests.
That’s 91 listings out of 44,000 that Airbnb has for New York, or 0.21 percent. And for most of the 91, all you can tell about the offering is that it’s . . . a large house. Yes, the report had a few photos of beds jammed close together — but nothing to justify the title, “Tourist Tenements in the Making.”
Nor is the IDC’s proposed solution — more anti-Airbnb laws — a rational solution. The Airbnb folks are already looking into the listings the report flagged, and will doubtless remove any shady ones: They’ve already de-listed 3,000 offerings this year, because the would-be hosts don’t share the “values” of the Airbnb community.
You can tell the naysayers are out to kill Airbnb by the key feature of the bill they want Gov. Andrew Cuomo to sign right now: a fine of up to $7,500 a pop not on people who rent illegally, but on anyone who advertises as an Airbnb host without meeting specs written for hotel rooms.
Weirdest of all: The hotel union is obsessed with a phantom menace, because Airbnb isn’t remotely denting the hotel biz the way, say, Uber threatens the yellow-cab industry.
The typical Airbnb guest is entirely different from most folks who use hotels. And, in the city at least, the industry is booming, with new “boutique” hotels opening all the time.
Helping to drive that expansion is the internet — which has made it far easier to search for and book hotel rooms, shop for bargains and so on. And it all keeps getting better: Just last week brought a new app, One Night, that lets you find and book a New York (or LA) hotel room at a bargain rate after 3 p.m. the day of your stay.
The future has more to offer all of us — as long as the fearmongering special interests don’t stand in its way.

Problem: Geordie Shore’s Scotty T offers stunning Georgia May Foote support after split
The cheeky chappy couldn't resist trying his luck
LADIES’ man Scotty T has offered Georgia May Foote a shoulder to cry on following her split from Giovanni Pernice.
The Geordie Shore star – who has form for chatting up heartbroken celebs on Twitter – took to social media in an attempt to reach out to her.
He wrote:” ..@georgiafoote shoulder for tears available X”
The stunning brunette is yet to reply, however his fans have praised his attempt to get in there with the newly single actress.
Georgia, who announced their split on Saturday, has been keeping busy since she broke the sad news.
Over the weekend she revealed she had hit the town with her friends but it wasn’t enough to mend her broken heart.
Alongside an emoji of a heart split in two, she wrote: “Dancing didnt work this time ????.”
The former Corrie actress told fans she had split from her Strictly lover in a post on Twitter – which he later retweeted.
She wrote: “It is with great sadness we have decided to split up. There is nobody else involved.
“Although it was not an easy decision to make sometimes you realise that it is better to be friends and this is one of those times.
“We both have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year so we are both going to focus on our upcoming work projects and we wish each other well in the future.”
She later added: “Nothing i ever said about my feelings to gio were fake before people start. I still love him very very much. But things change. Please be respectful to me at this time by not saying awful things. This is a hard time for me.”
Georgia and Giovanni were finalists in last year’s series of Strictly, and started their relationship after being paired up for the show.
Their romance moved at a very fast pace and the couple quickly moved in together before sparking engagement rumours after she was spotted wearing a diamond ring.

The major time divisions of classical music up to 1900 are the early music period, which includes Medieval (500–1400) and Renaissance (1400–1600) eras, and the Common practice period, which includes the Baroque (1600–1750), Classical (1750–1830) and Romantic (1804–1910) eras. Since 1900, classical periods have been reckoned more by calendar century than by particular stylistic movements that have become fragmented and difficult to define. The 20th century calendar period (1901–2000) includes most of the early modern musical era (1890–1930), the entire high modern (mid 20th-century), and the first 25 years of the contemporary or postmodern musical era (1975–current). The 21st century has so far been characterized by a continuation of the contemporary/postmodern musical era.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Eating bacon, sausage, hot dogs and other processed meats can raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes, U.S. researchers said on Monday in a study that identifies the real bad boys of the meat counter.
Eating unprocessed beef, pork or lamb appeared not to raise risks of heart attacks and diabetes, they said, suggesting that salt and chemical preservatives may be the real cause of these two health problems associated with eating meat.
The study, an analysis of other research called a meta-analysis, did not look at high blood pressure or cancer, which are also linked with high meat consumption.
"To lower risk of heart attacks and diabetes, people should consider which types of meats they are eating," said Renata Micha of the Harvard School of Public Health, whose study appears in the journal Circulation.
"Processed meats such as bacon, salami, sausages, hot dogs and processed deli meats may be the most important to avoid," Micha said in a statement.
Based on her findings, she said people who eat one serving per week or less of processed meats have less of a risk.
The American Meat Institute objected to the findings, saying it was only one study and that it stands in contrast to other studies and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
"At best, this hypothesis merits further study. It is certainly no reason for dietary changes," James Hodges, president of the American Meat Institute, said in a statement.
Most dietary guidelines recommend eating less meat. Individual studies looking at relationships between eating meat and cardiovascular diseases and diabetes have had mixed results.
But studies rarely look for differences in risk between processed and unprocessed red meats, Micha said.
She and colleagues did a systematic review of nearly 1,600 studies from around the world looking for evidence of a link between eating processed and unprocessed red meat and the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
They defined processed meat as any meat preserved by smoking, curing or salting, or with the addition of chemical preservatives. Meats in this category included bacon, salami, sausages, hot dogs or processed deli or luncheon meats.
Unprocessed red meat included beef, lamb or pork but not poultry.
They found that on average, each 1.8 oz (50 grams) daily serving of processed meat a day -- one to two slices of deli meats or one hot dog -- was associated with a 42 percent higher risk of heart disease and a 19 percent higher risk of developing diabetes.
They found no higher heart or diabetes risk in people who ate only unprocessed red meats. ||||| Pooling the study results, the researchers found that eating unprocessed red meat was not associated with heart disease or diabetes. But people who ate at least one serving a day of processed red meat -- one hot dog or two deli slices -- had a 42 percent higher risk of heart disease and a 19 percent higher risk of diabetes than people who did not eat processed red meat.
Renata Micha of the Harvard School of Public Health and her colleagues systematically reviewed more than 1,500 studies about the relationship between red meat, processed meat, and total meat consumption and heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. They selected 20 studies involving more than 1.2 million participants from 10 countries who were followed for up to 18 years. More than 23,000 people developed heart disease, more than 2,200 had strokes, and more than 10,000 had diabetes.
Red meat has long been cast as a bad player in heart disease and diabetes. But a new analysis from Harvard suggests that processed red meat -- think bacon, salami, and hot dogs -- may be the true dietary villain.
Total consumption of processed and unprocessed meat fell in between, with a 12 percent increased risk of diabetes compared to non-meat eaters. Results for heart disease were not conclusive. Neither kind of meat was tied to stroke, but because only 3 of the 20 studies looked at stroke, the sample was too small to draw statistically valid conclusions, the authors said.
Recommendations to cut down on red meat usually focus on the fat and cholesterol they contain, which can clog coronary arteries. But both processed and unprocessed meat contain similar amounts, the researchers found. People who ate the two kinds of meats were alike when it came to smoking, exercise, and other lifestyle factors.
The researchers say the salt and preservatives found in processed meat may account for the difference. Some processed meat has four times the salt that unprocessed meat has, and salt is a known contributor to high blood pressure, which can cause heart disease. Processed meat preservatives such as nitrates have been linked to lowered glucose tolerance, which is a factor in diabetes.
The American Meat Institute Foundation took issue with the study. "At best, this hypothesis merits further study. It is certainly no reason for dietary changes," James H. Hodges, the trade group's president, said in an e-mailed statement. "The body of evidence clearly demonstrates that processed meat is a healthy part of a balanced diet. Meat contains protein, amino acids and essential nutrients like iron and zinc that are the keys to good health."
The Harvard analysis, published online today in the journal Circulation, doesn't prove cause and effect between processed meat and these diseases, but it does make a compelling argument for studying processed and unprocessed meat separately. And unprocessed meat isn't off the hook, having been linked in other research to higher rates of colon cancer.
"People should not use this finding as an excuse to eat all the unprocessed meat you like," Micha, a research fellow in epidemiology, said in an interview. "We know fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish are associated with lower risk. People should put more emphasis on increasing foods in their diet that are shown to be protective." |||||

Analysis of studies involving more than 1 million subjects suggests that each 50 grams, or less than 2 ounces, of processed meat eaten per day raised the risk of developing diabetes 19% and the risk of developing coronary artery disease a whopping 42%, Reuters reports. "People should not use this finding as an excuse to eat all the unprocessed meat you like," the lead researcher tells the Boston Globe.

A "sixth sense" may protect drivers when they're a bit distracted behind the wheel — but not if they're texting while driving, a new study finds.
Drivers in the study were able to stay in their lanes when researchers distracted the participants with challenging questions, the researchers said. This likely happens because the brain subconsciously corrects for any mistakes that are made, the researchers said.
But when the drivers were asked to text while behind the wheel, they tended to drift between lanes, said the study, published today (May 12) in the journal Scientific Reports. The work was led by researchers at the University of Houston and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, and was funded in part by the Toyota Class Action Settlement Safety Research and Education Program. [Understand the 10 Most Destructive Human Behaviors]
Normally, "the driver's mind can wander, and his or her feelings may boil, but a sixth sense keeps a person safe, at least in terms of [avoiding] veering off course," Ioannis Pavlidis, a professor of computer science at the University of Houston and the lead author of the study, said in a statement.
"What makes texting so dangerous is that it wreaks havoc into this sixth sense," Pavlidis said.

In the study, 59 participants were asked to drive, in a driving simulator, down a challenging stretch of virtual highway under normal, nonstressful conditions. Then, the participants drove the same stretch under three different stressful conditions: cognitive stress, during which the driver was asked mathematical or analytical questions; emotional stress, during which the driver was asked "emotionally stirring" questions; and "sensorimotor" stress, "where the driver needs to move [his or her] eyes and one hand between the car's controls and the smartphone all the time." In this study, the sensorimotor stressor was texting.
The researchers measured every driver's biological stress response during each condition by looking at how much the driver was sweating around the nose. They also measured how many times the driver drifted into another lane.
In all of the stressful situations, the drivers' stress levels went up, the researchers found. In addition, the increased stress levels were associated with jittery handling of the steering wheel, which could result in drivers drifting into other lanes, the study said.
However, when drivers were challenged cognitively or emotionally, they were able to correct for these "jitters" and stay in their lanes, the researchers found. It was only when the drivers' hand-eye coordination was disrupted, such as while texting, that they drifted into other lanes, the study said.
The "sixth sense," or the ability of drivers to correct their driving mistakes, may come from the part of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex, the researchers wrote.
This part of the brain "is known to automatically intervene as an error corrector" when there is a problem, Pavlidis said. For example, if a jittery, stressed-out driver turns the steering wheel to the left, the brain responds instantaneously by steering back toward the right, he said. This ensures that the driver's steering is straight, he said. [10 Things You Didn't Know About the Brain]
But this "sixth sense," or subconscious correction, requires hand eye-coordination, the researchers said.
When drivers text at the wheel, they interrupt the necessary hand-eye coordination, and the brain no longer immediately corrects the mistakes, the researchers wrote.
Still, the results of the study don't give people license to let themselves get distracted while driving. The researchers noted that extreme levels of cognitive and emotional stress would lead to unsafe driving, and that the threshold for the amount of stress that could cause unsafe driving is unclear.
Follow Sara G. Miller on Twitter @saragmiller. Follow Live Science @livescience, Facebook & Google+. Originally published on Live Science. ||||| HOUSTON, May 12, 2016 - While much has been made about the dangers of texting and driving, less attention has been focused on the age-old distractions of being absent minded or upset while driving. A team of researchers from the University of Houston (UH) and the Texas A&M; Transportation Institute (TTI) focused on all three of these important factors.
Led by Ioannis Pavlidis from UH and Robert Wunderlich of TTI, the research studied how drivers behave when they are absent minded, emotionally charged or engaged in texting. The work was funded, in part, by the Toyota Class Action Settlement Safety Research and Education Program.*
The study looked at 59 volunteers who were asked to drive the same segment of highway four times - under 'normal conditions' of being focused on driving, while distracted with cognitively challenging questions, while distracted with emotionally charged questions and while preoccupied with texting trivialities. To avoid bias, the order of the drives was randomized.
In all three interventions - absent minded, emotional and texting - the researchers found that the drivers' handling of the wheel became jittery with respect to normal driving. This jittery handling resulted in significant lane deviations and unsafe driving only in the case of texting distractions. In the case of absent-minded and emotionally charged distractions, jittery steering resulted in straighter trajectories with respect to a normal drive and safer driving.
"A likely explanation for this paradox is the function performed by a part of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex, or ACC," Pavlidis said. "ACC is known to automatically intervene as an error corrector when there is conflict. In this case, the conflict comes from the cognitive, emotional and sensorimotor, or texting, stressors. This raises the levels of physiological stress, funneling 'fight or flight' energy to the driver's arms, resulting in jittery handling of the steering wheel."
What happens when the brain's ACC automatically intervenes, Pavlidis said, is that it counterbalances any strong jitter to the left with an instant equally strong jitter to the right and vice versa. The end effect of this forceful action is nullification of any veering to the left or the right of the lane and, thus, very straight driving.
For ACC to perform this corrective function, it needs support from the driver's eye-hand coordination loop. If this loop breaks, which it does when the driver texts, then ACC fails and the jittery handling of the steering wheel is left unchecked, resulting in a significant lane deviation and possible accident.
"The driver's mind can wander and his or her feelings may boil, but a sixth sense keeps a person safe at least in terms of veering off course," Pavlidis said. "What makes texting so dangerous is that it wreaks havoc into this sixth sense. Self-driving cars may bypass this and other problems, but the moral of the story is that humans have their own auto systems that work wonders, until they break."
Pavlidis and Wunderlich think the scientific and manufacturing community can benefit from their team's study. They posit that the question of what happens when self-driving cars experience failures needs to be asked now rather than later. Case in point, their research uncovers the mechanism that makes moderate cognitive and emotional distractions relatively safe, but only as long as the driver's natural tendency to handle multiple tasks is not overwhelmed.
"Following up on the results of our science study, we are currently looking into the development of a car system to monitor outward driving behaviors, such as steering jitter or lane deviation, as well as the internal state of the driver that causes them," Pavlidis said. "This system, which I call 'stressalyzer,' a play on the word breathalyzer, may serve not only as a 'black box' in car accidents, but also as a driver alert and prevention mechanism, since it will continuously sense a driver drifting to distracted mode."
###
The findings are described in a paper titled "Dissecting Driver Behaviors Under Cognitive, Emotional, Sensorimotor, and Mixed Stressors," appearing May 12 in Scientific Reports, an online open-access research journal from the Nature Publishing Group. Pavlidis is a computer science professor in the UH Computational Physiology Lab, and Wunderlich is director of TTI's Center for Transportation Safety.

About the Texas A&M; Transportation Institute ||||| We analyzed the association of perinasal perspiration E with steering angle ST and maximum departure on the right (X R ) and left (X L ) side of the lane based on results from a driving simulator experiment on n = 59 subjects. This reflected the association of sympathetic state with steering performance (indicative of motor reaction) and driving performance. The experiment had three parts:
Introductory Sessions: We measured perinasal perspiration during a sitting session with soothing music to establish the subject’s sympathetic baseline at rest. This was followed by two simulator drives, where we also measured perinasal perspiration. The first drive familiarized subjects with the simulator (Practice Drive, or PD). The second drive intended to relax subjects (Relaxing Drive, or RD) by having them operate the vehicle in a simple environment.
Loaded Drives: We measured perinasal perspiration, steering angle, and maximum right-side/left-side lane departures on four drives (order randomized) repeated on the same highway segment under similar ambient conditions; they featured a modicum of driving difficulty (Loaded Drives, or LD j , where j denotes the type of stressor). One loaded drive had no additional stressor (LD ∅ , j = ∅). Each of the remaining three loaded drives was characterized by a different stressor j: Loaded Drive with Cognitive Stressor (LD C , j = C); Loaded Drive with Emotional Stressor (LD E , j = E); Loaded Drive with Sensorimotor Stressor (LD M , j = M). The specific stressor j was applied twice during the corresponding drive LD j . The presence or absence of the specific stressor divided the LD j drives into five phases: (no stressor for all); (no stressor in LD ∅ | stressor in LD C , LD E , LD M ); (no stressor for all); (no stressor in LD ∅ | stressor in LD C , LD E , LD M ); (no stressor for all). Table 1(a) illustrates the stressor layout for the Loaded Drives.
Table 1: Experimental Design. Experimental sessions are crossovered in (a) and parallel grouped in (b). Full size table
Failure Drive: We measured perinasal perspiration, steering angle, and maximum right-side/left-side lane departures on a drive that featured at the end an unintended acceleration incident, during which the vehicle brake had no effect (Failure Drive or FD y , where y denotes the arm of the experiment). Subjects belonging to the y = o arm of the experiment did not have any additional stressor during the FD y drive. Subjects belonging to the y = L arm of the experiment had an additional stressor during the second half of the FD y drive. This stressor was of mixed distracting nature - initially sensorimotor, and then mixed with cognitive alternating with emotional stimuli. The presence or absence of the mixed stressor and the occurrence of the dramatic failure divided the FD y drive into three phases: (no stressor for all); (no stressor for y = o vs. mixed stressor for y = L); (failure event for all). Table 1(b) illustrates the stressor/event layout for the two experimental arms in the Failure Drive.
Experimental Validity
Trait Anxiety Inventory (TAI)10 and Personality A/B11 scores for the subjects whose data were analyzed in this research (n = 59), covered a broad range in the non-extreme regions of the respective scales. Specifically, the TAI scores ranged from 20 to 52 in a scale graded from 20 to 80; mean TAI was 33.22 and the standard deviation was 7.87. The A/B scores ranged from 144 to 282 in a scale graded from 35 to 380; mean A/B was 208.85 and the standard deviation was 30.08.
We found no significant correlation of TAI and A/B scores with mean perinasal perspiration responses or mean absolute steering or maximum right-side/left-side lane departures in any of the drives (p > 0.05 for the correlation coefficients in all cases). This suggests that key personality traits that could have biased sympathetic responses, driver reactions, and driver performance did not play any role.
To ascertain that the experiment’s challenging drives were perceived as such, we asked subjects to complete the NASA Task Load Index (TLX) after each drive. NASA TLX measures subjective workload assessment on operators working with man-machine interfaces. It draws on six sub-scales TLX s : Mental Demand (TLX MD , s = MD), Physical Demand (TLX PD , s = PD), Temporal Demand (TLX TD , s = TD), Performance (TLX P , s = P), Effort (TLX E , s = E), and Frustration (TLX F , s = F).
We ran a mixed effects model to examine the dependence of each sub-scale TLX s on fixed effects, defined by the different types of stressful loaded drives (LD C , LD E , LD M ), keeping the loaded drive with no stressors LD ∅ as the intercept:
where k stands for subjects, acting as random effects. The model indicated that loaded drives LD C and LD M with cognitive and sensorimotor stressors, respectively, had significantly higher scores with respect to LD ∅ in all NASA TLX sub-scales (p < 0.001 for all TLX s ). The model also indicated that the emotionally loaded drive LD E had significantly higher scores with respect to LD ∅ in the Mental Demand, Temporal Demand, and Effort sub-scales only (p < 0.01 for TLX MD , TLX TD , TLX E ).
These results suggest that subjects perceived drives with cognitive or sensorimotor loads as challenging across the sub-scales of a validated instrument12, thus, confirming the effectiveness of the study’s design regarding these two stressors. The fact that subjects perceived the emotionally loaded drives as challenging in half of the NASA’s instrument sub-scales, suggests that the study’s design was moderately effective in this respect.

Comparison among the mean perinasal perspiration signals in the baseline session, the practice drive, and the relaxing drive indicated the absence of any significant differences (p > 0.05, repeated measures analysis of variance). This suggests that in all these cases subjects were hovering close to their tonic levels, in the absence of any serious challenge.
Loaded Drives Analysis
We analyzed perinasal perspiration (explanatory variable) to determine the sympathetic effect of distractions in loaded drives. Next, we analyzed steering angle (response variable I) to determine how sympathetic effects associate with motor reactions. We also tested and found that age significantly affected the absolute mean steering angle, with older subjects exhibiting larger values (p < 0.05). Finally, we analyzed maximum right-side/left-side lane departures (response variables II) to ascertain how motor reactions are modulated, shaping error prone driving behaviors.
Specifically, for the explanatory variable we computed the mean perinasal perspiration signal intensity for each driving phase P i , of each loaded drive LD j , for each subject k. These values represented the mean sympathetic arousals exhibited by the subjects in response to the presence or absence of stress stimuli.
For response variable I, we computed the mean angular steering deviation (in absolute terms) for each driving phase P i , of each loaded drive LD j , for each subject k. These steering values served as indicators of motor reactions. Given that the subjects were traveling on a straight highway for 10.4 out of the 10.9 km of the drive, the mean absolute steering value should have been close to zero; the further away from zero, the stronger the sympathetic effect on instantaneous motor responses - an apparent deterioration of steering performance.
For response variables II, we computed the maximum lane departures on the right X R (k, LD j , P i ) and left X L (k, LD j , P i ) side of the road for each driving phase P i , of each loaded drive LD j , for each subject k. Here we define lane departure as the position of the car’s center with respect to the right or left boundary of the road, depending on the side it veered off. Ideally, the driver should maintain a nearly constant distance from these boundaries, driving in the middle of her/his lane (X R ≈ X L ≈ 0). If her/his car’s lateral position deviates significantly, then the maximum lane departure values X R and/or X L would increase substantially - a true deterioration of driving performance.
For each subject, we normalized the explanatory and response variables with respect to the corresponding variables in the LD ∅ drive that featured no stressor. These LD ∅ baselines represented the subject’s sympathetic state, steering performance, and driving performance under normal conditions. Since the itinerary and environment remained the same in all loaded drives, any mean deviations from the subject’s LD ∅ baselines should be attributed to the forced distractions.
Effect of Cognitive Load on Sympathetic State, Steering and Driving Performance
For our sample of n = 59 subjects, we computed for each driving phase P i the distributions of paired differences between:
• Mean perinasal perspiration in LD C and LD ∅ (Eq. 2) - proxy for sympathetic changes
• Mean absolute steering angle in LD C and LD ∅ (Eq. 3) - proxy for steering changes
• Maximum lane departures in LD C and LD ∅ on the right and left side (Eq. 4a–4b, ) - proxies for driving changes
Equation (2) produced the first row of boxplots in Fig. 1, suggesting that cognitive distraction of subjects in phases and had as a result significant elevation of their mean sympathetic arousal, with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.001, paired t-tests in both cases).

Equation (3) produced the second row of boxplots in Fig. 1, suggesting that cognitive distraction of subjects in phases and had as a result significant deterioration in mean steering performance, always with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.001 in and p < 0.0125 in , paired t-tests in both cases). It is interesting that deterioration in mean steering performance remained significant in phase with respect to phase in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.001, paired t-test), indicating that there was a lingering behavioral effect on subjects with respect to response variable I, which outlived the second application of the cognitive stressor.
Equations (4a–4b), produced the first row of boxplots in Fig. 2, suggesting that cognitive distraction of subjects in phase had as a result significant improvement in terms of maximum right-side and left-side lane departures, with respect to phase in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.001 for X R in and p < 0.0125 for X L in , paired t-tests in both cases).

Effect of Emotional Load on Sympathetic State, Steering and Driving Performance
For our sample of n = 59 subjects, we computed for each driving phase P i the distributions of paired differences between:
• Mean perinasal perspiration in LD E and LD ∅ (Eq. 5) - proxy for sympathetic changes
• Mean absolute steering angle in LD E and LD ∅ (Eq. 6) - proxy for steering changes
• Maximum lane departures in LD E and LD ∅ on the right and left side (Eq. 7a–7b, ) - proxies for driving changes
Equation (5) produced the third row of boxplots in Fig. 1, suggesting that emotional distraction of subjects in phases and had as a result significant elevation of their mean sympathetic arousal, with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.001, paired t-tests in both cases).
Equation (6) produced the fourth row of boxplots in Fig. 1, suggesting that emotional distraction of subjects in phases and had as a result significant deterioration in mean steering performance, always with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.0125, paired t-tests in both cases).
Equations (7a–7b), produced the second row of boxplots in Fig. 2, suggesting that emotional distraction of subjects in phases and had as a result significant improvement in terms of maximum right-side and left-side lane departures, with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.0125 for X R and X L in and p < 0.001 for X R and X L in , paired t-tests in all cases).
Effect of Sensorimotor Load on Sympathetic State, Steering and Driving Performance
For our sample of n = 59 subjects, we computed for each driving phase P i the distributions of paired differences between:
• Mean perinasal perspiration in LD M and LD ∅ (Eq. 8) - proxy for sympathetic changes
• Mean absolute steering angle in LD M and LD ∅ (Eq. 9) - proxy for steering changes
• Maximum lane departures in LD M and LD ∅ on the right and left side (Eq. 10a–10b, ) - proxies for driving changes
Equation (8) produced the fifth row of boxplots in Fig. 1, suggesting that sensorimotor distraction of subjects in phases and had as a result significant elevation of their mean sympathetic arousal, with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.001 in and p < 0.0125 in , paired t-tests in both cases).
Equation (9) produced the sixth row of boxplots in Fig. 1, suggesting that sensorimotor distraction of subjects in phases and had as a result significant deterioration in mean steering performance, always with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.001, paired t-tests in both cases). It is interesting that deterioration in mean steering performance remained significant in phases and with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.001, paired t-tests in both cases), indicating that there was a lingering behavioral effect on subjects with respect to response variable I, which outlived each application of the sensorimotor stressor.
Equations (10a–10b), produced the third row of boxplots in Fig. 2, suggesting that sensorimotor distraction of subjects in phases and had as a result significant deterioration in terms of right and left lane departures, with respect to phases and in the no-stressor drive (p < 0.0125 for X R in and , p < 0.001 for X L in and , paired t-tests in all cases). This behavioral effect on subjects with respect to response variables X R and X L tended to linger in , outliving the first application of the sensorimotor stressor (p < 0.0125 for X R and p < 0.001 for X L in , paired t-tests in both cases).
Failure Drive Analysis
In the Failure Drive, for the y = o group we found that phase featured significantly higher values than phase in terms of mean sympathetic responses (p < 0.0125, paired t-test - Fig. 3a1). In contradistinction, for the y = L group we found that phase featured significantly lower values than phase both in terms of mean sympathetic and mean absolute steering signals (p < 0.001, paired t-tests in both cases - Fig. 3b1).

Figure 3a2,b2 depict sympathetic (i.e., perinasal perspiration) and absolute steering signals from subjects representative of the y = o and y = L groups, respectively. In the y = o example, the subject’s sympathetic signal was somewhat elevated in phase with respect to phase in the mean sense. This could be ascribed to the start-up effect, where the sympathetic system responds to the driving transition from idle to a steady state. In the y = L example, however, the sympathetic and absolute steering signals during phase (non-loaded phase) were significantly lower with respect to phase (loaded phase) in the mean sense. Specifically, during the loaded portion of the drive the steering signal became highly variable, indicating that the driver had frequently strong impulsive motor responses. Apparently, the dramatic effect of the mixed stressor during the loaded phase of the Failure Drive overwhelmed any start-up effect characterizing its initial non-loaded phase .
Running a mixed effects model to examine the dependence of mean absolute steering on fixed effects:
• : mean perinasal perspiration adjusted to each subject’s resting baseline,
• y: sympathetic load indicator (y = o vs. y = L),
• AG: age group (Young: <27 vs. Old: >60),
we found that all three variables representing fixed effects bore significance in predicting steering behavior (p < 0.05); subjects were treated as random effects. Furthermore, the coefficients in all cases were positive. Hence, for each of the load and age binary variables as we moved from the low level (y = o and AG = Young) to the high level (y = L and AG = Old), steering increased. Importantly, for fixed y and AG, higher values of mean perinasal perspiration (indicating elevated arousal) were correlated with higher mean absolute steering values (Fig. 4a). Figure 4b shows how higher mean absolute steering values under the spell of the mixed stressor in , resulted in ominous lane departures and outright traffic violations; the difference from the orderly itinerary patterns in , , and is striking.

White, yellow, and pink pavement indicate phase , , and , respectively. Lane departures in , where the mixed stressor applied, are striking, suggesting an increased risk of accident. Extreme lane departures in are the results of the startling incidence - almost all cars crashed. Crash - No Crash incidents following the unintended acceleration event in phase according to: (c1) Load. (c2) Age. Full size image
Specifically, mixed distraction of subjects in phase had as a result highly significant deterioration in terms of maximum right-side and left-side lane departures, with respect to phase where no-stressor applied (p < 0.001 for X R and X L in both cases). By contrast, there was no significant deterioration in terms of maximum right-side and left-side lane departures in phase with respect to , for the y = o (no stressor) arm of the experiment.
It is important to note that we adjusted the individual perinasal perspiration signals by subtracting the mean tonic level (resting baseline) of each subject, correspondingly. This was necessary for fair comparison, as each person had a different sympathetic baseline and what was of interest was to find how much the drive and the distractions raised the subject’s sympathetic state above her/his resting baseline.
Regarding the unintended acceleration event that took place the last 10 s of the Failure Drive (phase ), the question was if prior distraction or any other factor, played a role in the subject’s crash risk CR. Running a logistic regression model to examine the dependence of crash risk CR on fixed effects:
• : mean perinasal perspiration adjusted to each subject’s resting baseline,
• y: sympathetic load indicator (y = o vs. y = L),
• AG: age group (Young: <27 vs. Old: >60),
we found that all variables representing fixed effects had no significance in predicting crash odds (p > 0.05). In fact, as Fig. 4c1,c2 illustrate, a very small number of drivers avoided crashing, among those who experienced the unintended acceleration event. |||||

– There are all sorts of ways a person can be distracted at the wheel—kids screeching, sleep deprivation, arguing—and they predate cell phones. But research in the journal Scientific Reports pits two types of distraction (being "emotional" or "absent-minded") against texting and finds the latter far worse. It turns out most people have a sort of sixth sense that allows them to maintain a straight line in spite of many distractions. But texting "wreaks havoc" on that sixth sense, University of Houston researcher Ioannis Pavlidis says in a Eureka Alert news release. The study was small with only 59 participants, but the results are striking. The part of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex, which the researchers write is "known to automatically intervene as an error corrector," requires hand-eye coordination, reports Live Science. Texting disrupts this built-in auto correct so that we no longer subconsciously correct our mistakes, which the researchers observed watching drivers navigate the same segment of highway four times (non-distracted driving was the control). The findings could help make cars safer. "We are currently looking into the development of a car system to monitor outward driving behaviors, such as steering jitter or lane deviation, as well as the internal state of the driver that causes them," Pavlidis says. A "stressalyzer" could serve as a "black box" in car accidents as well as warn drivers if they are distracted. (Here's how people who text drivers could also be held liable.)

FOX 2 News in Detroit has learned that the "Queen of Soul" has cancer. The news of Aretha Franklin's battle with the disease is being met with an outpouring of love and support from all across metro Detroit.
At this time Franklin's family says she is doing "OK", but they are asking for the continued prayers and thoughts from the community. Add your sentiments in the comment module below .
Pop Crunch.com published an article Wednesday citing a report by The National Enquirer that Franklin has incurable pancreatic cancer. FOX 2 could not confirm the type of cancer that Franklin has, but a member of the Franklin family tells us she may have bladder or pancreatic cancer.
Last week the 68-year-old underwent surgery for a mystery illness. The surgery was deemed a success, but the reason or reasons for the surgery were not released to the public. A few weeks ago Franklin canceled all concerts through May 2011 due to "medical reasons."
This is a statement released by Franklin following her surgery last Thursday (December 2nd):

Aretha, We Love You
FOX 2 in Detroit was unable to confirm the specific type of cancer. Franklin underwent a "highly successful" surgery last week, though the cause was not revealed."God is still in control," Aretha's post-surgery statement read. "I had superb doctors and nurses whom were blessed by all the prayers of the city and the country."News of Franklin's unspecified operation came a month after she announced the cancellation of all concert dates and personal appearances through May on the order of her doctors. That announcement came after Franklin's brief visit to a Detroit hospital -- no details were given about her condition at the time.It's been a difficult several months for Franklin; her adult son, Eddie, was beaten by three men at a Detroit gas station in September. A month earlier, she broke ribs in a fall, causing her to miss two free concerts in New York.Aretha Franklin, born in Memphis and raised in Detroit, is the singer of hits like 'Respect,' 'Chain of Fools,' and '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.' ||||| FILE - In this Oct. 30, 2009 file photo, Aretha Franklin performs at the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. A community prayer vigil was held in Detroit... (Associated Press)
Aretha Franklin underwent serious surgery last week and is "recovering very well," her longtime friend, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, said Wednesday.
Jackson said in an interview with The Associated Press that he's visited with the legendary singer four or five times recently, including a few days ago, and that Franklin's "spirits are high, and her faith is strong."
"She's conscious, communicating and taking daily walks up and down the hall," said Jackson, who accompanied Franklin on one of those walks during his most recent visit.
Franklin announced last week that she had undergone a surgical procedure, but neither she nor her publicist have said what is ailing the 68-year-old Queen of Soul.
Jackson wouldn't either, other than to say his friend of more than 40 years is responding well to the surgery.
"She has amazing strength _ body, religion and faith," Jackson said. "It's what he keeps her going."
Last month, Franklin announced she was canceling all concert dates and personal appearances through May on the orders of her doctors.
It's been a tough few months for Franklin, whose hits include "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," "Chain of Fools" and her signature song, "Respect."
Her son, Eddie, was beaten by three men at a Detroit gas station in September. And a month before that, Franklin broke ribs in a fall, causing her to miss two free concerts in New York.
Franklin is one of the most honored singers in American history, having won numerous Grammys, the National Medal of Arts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She also has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. ||||| Oh dear…..
It seems the mystery illness that has sidelined music legend Aretha Franklin from the stage until May is much more serious than gout or a bad case of heartburn.
In fact, the Queen of Soul could be in for the fight of her life.
The Snitch Circuit is abuzz this Wednesday with whispers that Franklin has been diagnosed with advanced (Read: Inoperable and Incurable) pancreatic cancer.
The National Enquirer claims doctors made the glum diagnosis after Aretha broke her ribs in a shower fall over the summer. Tabloid tattles claim the “Respect” singer has been given less than a year to live, with her advanced age (She’s 68..) and massive weight lowering her odds of recovery. Though The Enquirer is known for its often-outlandish take on unbiased journalism, it should be noted that the publication was the first in the world to report Patrick Swayze and Michael Landon’s battles with pancreatic cancer — a disease that has a less than 10 percent survival rate and ultimately killed both actors. They also blew the lid off Christina Applegate’s breast cancer scare in 2008.
“She even hid her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer from some family members,” a well-placed Franklin source told the publication.
Franklin underwent a top secret medical procedure last Thursday, Dec. 2, one day after a community prayer vigil was held on behalf of the legendary Motown singer in her hometown of Detroit. Franklin wasn’t at the vigil, but in a statement she thanked the City Council, saying “All prayers are good.”
Indeed they are. Best wishes to The Queen!
UPDATE: A Franklin family insider, who asked not to be identified, tells the Detroit press that Ms. Aretha does, in fact, have cancer. (NO!!!) The relative said that the singing legend is doing well for now, but the family is still very concerned about her prognosis. The family member didn’t not, however, say what type of cancer Aretha was diagnosed with. Here’s to hoping she’s not fighting the silent killer that all too often is pancreatic cancer. No word from Aretha’s rep yet.

Question: As far as manhunts go, Eric Matthew Frein is an especially challenging target. The suspected cop killer has extensive training as a marksman. Police say he's a survivalist who knows his way around the woods where they think he's hiding. And authorities worry he may be on the hunt for more officers. Here's what we know about Frein, the 31-year-old wanted for the death of Pennsylvania State Police Cpl. Bryon Dickson and the shooting of another officer a week and a half ago. Police say he'd been plotting his attack for months. Before Dickson and Trooper Alex Douglass were shot outside the state police barracks in Blooming Grove on September 12, Frein had been mulling an ambush for months, authorities say. "Based on our investigations, we know Frein has prepared and planned extensively for months or maybe years," State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said Sunday. Investigators know Frein "has made statements about wanting to kill law enforcement officers and also to commit mass acts of murder," State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said last week. "He has very strong feelings about law enforcement and seems to be very angry with a lot of things that go on in our society." Bivens said while Frein planned his attack and retreat, "we believe we are closing in on him." He's the subject of an intense manhunt. Up to 400 law enforcement officers are searching for Frein, including members of the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They've zeroed in on the woods not far from Frein's family home in Canadensis -- about 20 miles from where Dickson and Douglass were shot. His evasiveness has led schools to cancel classes and prompted authorities to ask hunters to avoid the woods in the area. Although Frein is on the run and possibly armed, there is no indication that he is a danger to anyone other than law enforcement, Bivens said. "I am convinced that Frein has engaged in a personal battle with law enforcement, specifically the Pennsylvania State Police, and will likely stay focused on that fight," he said. He's fascinated by the Cold War. Frein claims to have fought with Serbians in Africa and has studied Russian and Serbian languages, according to the FBI. He even belonged to a simulation group that re-enacted Cold War-era European conflicts, officials said. The simulation group, which police declined to name, would use non-lethal Airsoft guns. But authorities believe Frein has turned a non-lethal activity lethal. "It is believed that Frein has assumed the simulation role, and is now acting it out in real life," Bivens said. Frein started wearing a "mohawk"-type haircut -- different from what he had worn for years -- apparently as part of his mental preparation for his attacks on the troopers, Bivens said. He harbors a grudge against cops. While authorities believe Frein has an intense grudge against law enforcement, one friend said his angst is actually against the federal government. "He definitely let his opinions about the government be known," the friend, who wanted to be identified only as "Jack," told CNN. "He was obviously a big critic of the federal government, but he never specifically targeted police when he was talking to me," Jack said. "No indications of really any malice towards law enforcement in particular. Most of his aggression was (toward) the federal government." But others close to Frein told investigators that he had talked about his disdain for law enforcement, authorities said. "This was nothing he kept quiet," Noonan said, adding that he wished those people had spoken up before the shootings. He's a skilled marksman. A trail of clues led authorities to execute a search warrant on the suspect's family's home. That's when Frein's father told authorities that two firearms were missing, according to a probable cause affidavit. The father said one of those missing firearms was an AK-47; the other was a .308 rifle, which police believe was the same type of rifle used to shoot the troopers. The father said his son grew up with guns and was a member of his high school's rifle club. When Frein shoots, his father told authorities, he "doesn't miss."

Question: By. Rob Waugh. PUBLISHED:. 08:03 EST, 13 March 2012. |. UPDATED:. 05:10 EST, 14 March 2012. A woolly mammoth preserved in permafrost in Siberia could walk the Earth again after 10,000 years, after Russian academics signed a deal with a controversial Korean scientist to clone the animal. Hwang Woo-Suk – who created the world’s first cloned dog, Snuppy, in 2005 – will implant the nucleus from a mammoth cell into an elephant egg to create a mammoth embryo. The embryo will then be implanted into an elephant’s womb. The Koreans say research could begin this year. South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-Suk (L) shakes hands with Vasily Vasiliev (R), vice director of North-Eastern Federal University of Russia's Sakha Republic, after signing an agreement on joint research to clone a mammoth. A painting by Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert, (1865 - 1926) shows woolly mammoths - the creature could walk the Earth again for the first time in 10,000 years thanks to the new research. Exciting: Mammoth bones like this one have been dug up many times before, but finding one with undamaged genes has proven a challenge (file picture) Vasily Vasiliev, vice rector of North-Eastern Federal University of the Sakha Republic, signed the deal with Hwang Woo-Suk of South Korea's Sooam Biotech Research Foundation this week. The agreeement follows the discovery of mammoth bones with well-preserved bone marrow in Siberia last summer. Hwang Woo-Suk is a controversial figure some of whose research into human cloning was shown to be fake. But since then, his institute has successfully cloned other creatures such as cows, dogs and coyotes. 'The first and hardest mission is to restore mammoth cells,' Sooam researcher, Hwang In-Sung, told AFP. 'This will be a really tough job, but we believe it is possible because our institute is good at cloning animals.' The Korean biotech foundation said research would begin this year, as soon as the Russians ship remains. South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-Suk smiles after signing an agreement on joint research with North-Eastern Federal University of Russia's Sakha Republic. Fertile land: The thigh bone was discovered in the permafrost soil of Siberia as were these tusks which came from an entire 23,000-year-old mammoth dug up in 1999. The Russian academics are already in negotation with Japan's Kinki. University for joint research next year aiming to. recreate the giant mammal. Mammoths became extinct about 10,000 years ago. But the discovery in August in Siberia has increased the chances of a successful cloning. Global. warming has thawed ground in eastern Russia that is usually almost. permanently frozen, leading to the discoveries of a number of frozen. mammoths, the report said.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Celine Marchbank is a documentary photographer whose latest work is very personal, and yet one that will resonate with many of us."
Article:
A: In 2009 Marchbank found out that her mother, Sue Miles, had cancer. Marchbank recalls that her mother was "amazingly optimistic" and reassuring about the outcome, but by by April the following year the cancer was confirmed as terminal.
"While I was trying to come to terms with the fact she was dying, I decided I wanted, or maybe needed, to document the time she had left," says Marchbank.
But there was always that question as to whether it was the right thing to do.
"I didn't want to create a graphic portrayal of her death - it would have been impossible and wrong to focus only on the dying part - but rather I wanted to photograph our last months together.
"I looked at the things that made her uniquely her, the details in her house I thought I knew so well, the things that would also be gone when she was."
This is a very personal thing. Others have documented such moments, each in their own way. For some the very idea of picking up a camera at such a time would seem taboo, for others a most natural response.
Marchbank feels that the few seconds spent taking pictures each day gave her a way to record the moments that would come to mean so much.
"Her love of flowers was a beautiful part of her personality; the house was always full of them, and as I photographed them I realised they were symbolic of what was happening - they represented happiness, love, kindness and generosity, but also isolation, decay, and finally death."
The work is called Tulip, after her mother's favourite flower, and it is these small, often overlooked parts of her mother's life that form the narrative of the work.
Marchbank found the editing process after her mother's death cathartic, and only now, five years on, is she ready to share the work with a wider audience through the publication of a book. Tulip has become about her own journey through grief.
"Grief is like a grey cloud above your head, sometimes just a nagging doubt at the back of your mind, other times a huge storm cloud filling your whole mind. As long as I feel this grey cloud then, in a way, I will always feel her presence."
Tulip by Celine Marchbank is published by Dewi Lewis.
Problem: Write an article based on this "Scotland's oldest cinema is set to revive the 'jeely jar' ticket, with a special offer dating back to the 1920s."
Article:
A: In exchange for an empty bottle or jar, children will get a free ticket to a showing at the renovated Hippodrome cinema in Bo'ness, near Falkirk.
The picture house was re-opened last year after a £2m restoration.
The offer will see film fans who donate a clean, empty jam jar (with its lid) given two tickets for the price of one at special screenings.
This season's offer will allow movie-goers access to the silent Buster Keaton classic, Steamboat Bill Jr.
The jars will be used by the Georgian Kitchen in nearby Callendar House in Falkirk for jam-making.
Astrid Shearer, audience development officer at the cinema, said: "We're really proud of the Hippodrome's unique heritage and we like to think that, although we do show the latest releases, we also celebrate our place in cinema history, and give our audience the opportunity to see some exceptional and rarely screened films."

Those farming the highest hills in Wales were being offered ten times less in subsidy payments than those on lower slopes and moors.
But as subsidy budgets are fixed "some redistribution" of the money is now inevitable, warned Rebecca Evans.
She said options were being drawn up for debate later in January.
The Welsh government's stance was formally quashed by the courts in December following a challenge by a Welsh farmers' campaign group, Fairness for the Uplands (FFTU).
While the farming money comes from the EU, the rules on how it is allocated in Wales were drawn up by the Welsh government.
Under the original agreement, the Welsh government ruled that land above the 400m (1,300ft) line was worth £16-a-hectare or €20 in EU subsidies to farmers, while below the line land was worth £160 or €200 a hectare.
According to FFTU, about 300 hill farmers out of 15,000 in Wales were affected by the ruling.
Ms Evans said in a statement on Monday that it was "inevitable that this revised situation will result in change to the payments that farmers might have expected in the years ahead".
Options will be presented to union leaders and countryside organisations later in January.

Answer the questions at the end based on the text.
(CNN) -- A federal jury convicted a California man Monday in a case in which prosecutors say he convinced a woman to bomb a federal courthouse so he could turn her and others involved the scheme in to authorities, and collect reward money.
Donny Love was found guilty on 10 charges, including the use of a weapon of mass destruction, for the role he played in the May 4, 2008, attack on San Diego's Edward J. Schwartz Federal Courthouse.
No one was injured in the blast that damaged the building's front lobby, shattered a glass door and broke a window in a building across the street.
Love could face between 30 years and life in prison, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred Sheppard.
During the two-week trial, prosecutors painted Love as the mastermind behind the blast.
He directed two others, Rachelle Lynette Carlock and Ella Louise Sanders to purchase explosive powder and to steal bomb-making materials, they said. Carlock was an on-again, off-again girlfriend to Love, said Sheppard.
According to testimony, Carlock and Eric Reginald Robinson then drove from Love's house to San Diego with a backpack, containing three pipe bombs. Carlock detonated the bombs at the front doors of the courthouse, prosecutors said.
Carlock, Sanders and Robinson were charged and each previously pleaded guilty for their parts in the plan.
At the time of the bombing, Love was in "dire financial straits," prosecutors said, and faced jail time stemming from two pending criminal cases.
"The evidence showed that he directed the May 4, 2008, bombing for the purpose of obtaining reward money and a break on his state charges by providing information about the bombing to law enforcement," prosecutors said in a statement.

In short, the United States has to help defeat an ideology, not just a group of people, and we must do so under difficult circumstances. How can the United States and its friends help moderate Muslims combat the extremist ideas? Recommendation: The U.S. government must define what the message is, what it stands for. We should offer an example of moral leadership in the world, committed to treat people humanely, abide by the rule of law, and be generous and caring to our neighbors. America and Muslim friends can agree on respect for human dignity and opportunity. To Muslim parents, terrorists like Bin Laden have nothing to offer their children but visions of violence and death. America and its friends have a crucial advantage-we can offer these parents a vision that might give their children a better future. If we heed the views of thoughtful leaders in the Arab and Muslim world, a moderate consensus can be found. That vision of the future should stress life over death: individual educational and economic opportunity. This vision includes widespread political participation and contempt for indiscriminate violence. It includes respect for the rule of law, openness in discussing differences, and tolerance for opposing points of view. Recommendation: Where Muslim governments, even those who are friends, do not respect these principles, the United States must stand for a better future. One of the lessons of the long Cold War was that short-term gains in cooperating with the most repressive and brutal governments were too often outweighed by long-term setbacks for America's stature and interests. American foreign policy is part of the message. America's policy choices have consequences. Right or wrong, it is simply a fact that American policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and American actions in Iraq are dominant staples of popular commentary across the Arab and Muslim world. That does not mean U.S. choices have been wrong. It means those choices must be integrated with America's message of opportunity to the Arab and Muslim world.

In general, in-state tuition is much cheaper than out-of-state tuition and public schools are much less expensive than private schools. However, know that some colleges claim to meet full financial need and others may seem expensive but have great financial aid plans. Do your research before you write anything off. 75% of the colleges on the meet-full-financial-need list rank in the top 25 in their rankings categories. These are very, very good schools that want to help you out! When it comes to aid, often where there's a will, there's a way. The cheapest option is to start at a community college and transfer later. Sometimes the credit doesn't always transfer, so be sure to do your research before you plan on this option. If it works, it can save you tens of thousands of dollars. You may think those private schools are out of your budget range, but often private schools compete with their public counterparts by offering more grants and aid. Just because it has a loftier price tag doesn't mean you should avoid it. If they have a good program, apply. In general, in-state colleges are cheaper. But again, it all depends on the amount of aid you receive from each institution. Apply to several so you can leverage them against each other. If you have two (or more) colleges that are interested in you, they may up their offers! Stanford University, for example, will pay the tuition of students with family income under $100,000 per year; and students whose families earn under $60,000 get free tuition, room and board paid by the university. Set your sights high. If you get accepted to a great university, tuition may not be a problem. . That's the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and it can be filled out as early as January 1. The deadline is around June 1st, depending on your state and school, but it is widely suggested you fill it out as soon as possible to get all your financial ducks in a row. If you're unfamiliar with the FAFSA (for starters, where have you been?), it's a form you need to fill out to receive any federal aid to go to college in the US. Without it, you won't receive any grants or loans from the government! Travesty. Whether you've applied to just one school and have been accepted or have been accepted to a few, you have the power to negotiate. Often schools say aid is "non-negotiable"; however, that's just another way to say "they'll adjust it instead." Use your power! If you're set on one school but your financial aid is a little lacking, go in to the financial aid office and make an appointment to discuss the terms. Instead of going in and demanding more money, ask why you were awarded what you were awarded and how you could qualify for more. In addition, relay specific terms that could not be addressed in the FAFSA. Is your family taking care of an aging relative? Do you have a move coming up? Did a parent lose their job? Sometimes these things can be taken into account and applied to your aid. If you've been accepted to several schools, inform them that you're weighing your financial aid options and will make your decision in the coming weeks. Some schools may up the ante to get you to attend their institution. Scholarship programs in your state can greatly reduce tuition costs for simply maintaining a high GPA and or doing volunteer work. There are numerous private scholarships that can be stacked, allowing you to piecemeal a financial aid package for yourself. Dunno where to find scholarships? Well for starters, the Internet. In addition to the larger scholarships, your school should be able to provide you with a list you can apply for. The financial aid office should be able to pinpoint you in the right direction—just make sure you're on top of things! Some deadlines come quite early. If you maxed out your federal aid and are iffy on the private student loan situation, there is an option for parents to take out loans. So long as you haven't had a credit mishap in just the past 60 days, you should qualify. Private parent loans are a bit harder to come by and the process is a bit more stringent. However, you have dozens and dozens of options when it comes to this realm. An academic financial aid agent will help you find the best scholarships, and they truly know the financial aid landscape and can find tax deductions which can help you get maximum benefit from need-based grants that may be available to you, even if you are a billionaire. 53% of federal financial aid in the US is actually given to those in the upper quintile ($60,000 gross income and above) because they are more financially literate and can find deductions where others might not. ROTC cadets are eligible for scholarships covering tuition, fees, and textbooks for 4 years, plus a monthly stipend. In return, students take ROTC courses along with their regular classes, promise to serve after graduation (time varies). Over 1,200 schools offer ROTC programs in US. The Army requires 4 years active duty and 4 years in reserves. The Navy requires 4–5 years of active duty. The Air Force requires 4–6 years of active duty and 10 years for cadets trained as pilots.

Write a title for this article:
I’m not the smartest guy on the block. In high school I scored “See me” on the math Regents.
Still, if I were Commissioner of Major League Baseball, I would look at where the teams play to notice a bunch located in generally warm climates: Two in Texas, two in Florida, two in Southern California, one in Atlanta, one in Arizona.
Then I would look to find that seven teams play in either domed stadia or in ballparks with retractable roofs: Milwaukee, Arizona, Toronto, Seattle, Houston, Miami and Tampa Bay.
And then I would reach a radical conclusion: Schedule early April games in these cities or ballparks. Sure, it’s an extreme departure from the norm, but schedule with the good of the players, the fans and the quality of The Game in mind.
The Yankees — having completed an ill-attended, arctic three-game series against Houston, in New York — on Sunday, as a matter of MLB’s addiction and abdication to TV money, plays in Detroit and for ESPN.
The forecast is fairly standard for early April nighttime Detroit weather: 39 degrees, 18 mph winds making it feel colder, and a 90 percent chance of rain.
Forget it, though. The folks who run MLB must know what they’re doing, right?
There must be good, common-sense reasons to have played games last week and to be playing them this week — mostly at night — outdoors in New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Colorado, Cincinnati and along the Great Lakes in Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit.
There must be good reasons for this, good reasons why the Yanks on Saturday played the Tigers in an under-populated ballpark with 30-degree temperatures, a wind-chill of 20 and snow flurries. If only MLB would share those reasons with us.
And it’s not as if Rob Manfred, and Bud Selig, before him, wouldn’t normally gather the family, grab the ice-scraper and head out to a ballgame that starts at 8:10 on a Sunday night in Detroit in early April.
Even if it might be too late, too cold and too wet for even Adam LaRoche’s kid.
But if it’s good enough for the commissioners — if all this makes good sense and good baseball to them — it’s plenty good enough for us.
Trying to grasp Adam Schefter’s ESPN exclusive sitdown with Greg Hardy is like trying to catch minnows with our hands.
If we weigh Hardy’s answers and explanations, we’re left with this: He didn’t do it, and he never will do it again.
Not only did Schefter conclude he believes Hardy to be a changed man despite his conviction for beating and choking his ex-girlfriend, who claimed she was thrown on a couch covered with loaded assault rifles, Hardy claimed he was framed. So then exactly what did he have to change from?
Such hopeful conclusion interviews have become tiresome. They carry the stink of look-who-we-got, quid pro quos pandering. Adam “Pacman” Jones went on two “I’m-a-changed-man” media campaigns, only to prove he is the same creep.
Last week, as if lifting from Cris Carter’s seminar advice to NFL rookies to find a pal to take the rap for them when they’re arrested — Carter remains with ESPN — it was revealed a pal of Jets receiver and “Inside the NFL” TV co-star Brandon Marshall in February texted Marshall: He would take the rap for Marshall’s 2012 alleged assault of a woman outside a nightclub.
Marshall, a talented but recidivist me-firster with an arrest record that began in college and includes domestic violence charges, first made himself expendable to Denver, then Miami, before landing with Chicago, from where he went on an extended “I’m-a-changed-man” campaign.
Is Marshall a changed man? I hope so, but I don’t know. Maybe Schefter knows. He seems to regard himself something of a faith healer — “One exclusive chat with me is all it takes!” — or a candidate for the parole board.
Never grant anyone wish-based certification as a changed man based on sincere looks and sounds, especially when that changed man doesn’t think he did anything all that wrong in the first place.
The only changed-man claim I would gamble on is Bruce Jenner’s.
Protect yourself at all times especially from professional embarrassment. It’s OK for people who don’t know — and can’t possibly know — to reach this conclusion: I don’t know.
Call me a party pooper; I don’t care. Crazy is crazy.
The Mets’ home opener pregame ceremonies Friday included four NYPD helicopters flying over a packed stadium in windy weather.
That’s crazy. It’s not as if anyone never before had seen a helicopter. So why the unnecessary risk, at whose cost and why four helicopters?
It brought to mind the 2008 outdoor NHL game, Pittsburgh at Buffalo, when military jets flew over 71,000 people. The aircraft barely were visible as they flew over in a snowstorm!
A survey conducted by WalletHub.com concluded that among fans of baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer, soccer fans have the worst credit rating, hockey fans the best.
In other words, never sell a soccer fan a Zamboni on installments; get all the money up front.
Two new, good-read New York baseball books — fun and educational! — from crafty write-handers:
“Kings of Queens,” about the ’86 Mets by Erik Sherman. Manager Davey Johnson claims the infamous players-gone-wild flight back from Houston after winning the NL pennant was caused more by players’ wives than the players.
“Down on the Korner” is about Ralph Kiner and the Mets’ adventure-filled “Kiner’s Korner” Ch. 9 postgame show, authored by sports radio host Mark Rosenman and local MLB official scorer Howie Karpin. “That’s what makes baseball,” said Kiner, “you never know what’s going on.”
Perhaps the most surprising occurrence of last week was the MLB/Yankees unusually fan-friendly decision to postpone Monday’s Yankee Stadium opener at about 9 a.m.
Such weather-conscious announcements generally are made after people have arrived, paid for parking, entered the ballpark and started spending.
Speeding up the game: In the bottom of the eighth in Detroit on Friday, 4-0, Tigers over Yankees, the game was stopped for three minutes for a replay challenge that reversed an out call based on nothing more definitive than perhaps, a second opinion that overruled a first opinion.
And as YES’ Michael Kay noted — and as so often seen in football — two different angles showed two different things to support either conclusion.
Lookalikes, submitted by Joe Magnetico: Comedic actor Ty Burrell, who plays Phil Dunphy on ABC’s “Modern Family,” and Villanova coach Jay Wright.

Here is an article:
The Washington Post announced Friday it will launch Trove, a site that aggregates news and enables users to personalize their news stream based on their interests. The site, which is currently in private beta, is expected to launch in March.
The announcement highlights a trend among news publishers looking to personalize news consumption based on social connections and topical interests. Trove combines aggregated stories picked by editors, along with the ability for users to select from “channels” they are interested in, through a simple on-boarding process that asks the reader, “What do you care about?”
The homepage presents these two content types side by side, fulfilling the readers’ need for serendipitous discovery of content as well as feeding their want for content they are interested in. It’s aiming to achieve the balance between news that editors think you should know about versus the news you want to know about.
Of course, the service also integrates social conversation. In the sign-up process, users connect their Facebook accounts, which enables them to then view the conversations taking places around stories in the channels they’ve selected. It also uses your Facebook profile to determine content you might be interested in based on what you’ve selected in the interests of your Facebook profile.
Using a quiz-like selection process between stories, the site asks users to select the topics they want to follow. The selection shows the user both the topic and a story example and asks which story the user would prefer. He or she can select one or the other, both or skip them all together. Based on the user’s selections, Trove builds a stream of channels with stories that link out content from across the web. It also uses an algorithm to suggest related channels that the user might be interested in keeping up with.
That’s the interesting part. The content comes from all around the web (more than 10,000 news source, according to the Wall Street Journal), and not just The Washington Post‘s site, which is also likely why the company built it as a separate product. However, integrating this feature into the site may have given it more exposure, rather than attempting to create another destination portal.
Users can filter their channels and customize them by selecting what is included and what isn’t as part of the channel, changing the stories that go into the layout. Users can even select the source for a specific channel. For example, if I really enjoy The Guardian‘s coverage of Egypt, I could select that as a “must have” or an “avoid” to further filter my channel.
The Post invested between $5 million to $10 million in the product, taking quite a gamble to build a destination for a place where the reader is able to personalize the content. The gamble isn’t necessarily on personalized content itself because that’s nothing new. In fact, most of the recent sites that let readers personalize their consumption have been largely built as apps for iPads, with the likes of the Flipboard, the coming of News.me and Pulse.
Though Trove is taking a stab at creating a personalized news environment, its social integration has a ways to go. Of course this is still very early for a product that’s in beta, but if it is to capture a wider audience and provide utility for readers, it will have to include features that are more innovative than simply being able to see the conversations around stories and being able to add comments on channels. The dialogue should be more social and integrated into the consumption experience. Right now, its social aspects feel a lot like a forum.
Trove doesn’t quite fulfill the promise of its name: a newfound treasure. It’s far too similar to other aggregation news sites out there, most notably Google News. The utility of Trove isn’t different enough from other aggregators, aside from its user interface and the ability to easily filter content.
If the site is truly about helping users find the signal in the noise, it will use the selected interests to build more focus in the channels created, rather than continuing to add a stream of content based on the user’s interests on the main page.
Perhaps the treasure trove in the site is yet to be found. The idea is to build a product that helps surface and amplify quality and interesting content. Right now, however, Trove does not effectively execute its goal to find a signal through the noise.

Q: Soldiers On Lockdown After 'Sensitive' Military Equipment Is Stolen From Washington Base
FORT LEWIS, Wash – More than 100 soldiers were on lockdown Sunday after "sensitive" military equipment was stolen from a base in Fort Lewis, Wash.
The soldiers were put on lockdown Wednesday after items such as scopes, night vision goggles and range finders went missing from Joint Base Lewis-McChord over the holidays, myFOXSpokane.com reported.
Lewis-McChord spokesman Matt Hinkle said Saturday that the army was carrying out a criminal investigation into the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division after the "sensitive" items went missing, The News Tribune reported.
"They'll be on base until the items are found," Hinkle, who estimated the company contained about 100- 200 soldiers, said. "This is the unit's property that's come up missing."
"We're going to continue to conduct this investigation as thoroughly as possible," I Corps spokesman Lt. Col. Gary Dangerfield added. "We will get to the bottom of this matter."
Neither Hinkle nor Dangerfield confirmed exactly what pieces of equipment were missing but Dangerfield said that many military items including night-vision goggles and military ID cards were considered "sensitive," according to the newspaper.
Family members were allowed to visit the soldiers for the first time Friday, myFOXSpokane.com reported.
Officials are offering a $10,000 reward for the return of the equipment.

Q: Investors Buy TIPS Funds After Trump
Exchange-traded funds focusing on Treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPS, have seen record inflows in November due to expectations that inflation will pick up in a Donald Trump presidency.
The iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP) has seen flows of $700 million since early November and $5 billion year-to-date. Some of the money is coming from corporate-bond ETFs, such as iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG), as asset allocators rotate from credit into TIPS.
Analysts expect U.S. economic growth to pick up under the new president, bringing higher interest rates and inflation. Antoine Lesne, head of SPDR ETF research and strategy EMEA at State Street Global Advisers, says, “Inflation is coming back, not roaring for sure, but it has pushed higher as 2015’s oil-price declines are disappearing from the year-over-year figures.”
He says inflationary risk is more centered on the U.S. than the euro market, and recommends a look at TIPS.
Charles Schwab Corp. reports strong interest in its TIPS ETFs. The flows for Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF (SCHP) were $283 million and year-to-date, they are $684 million—almost three times the amount that flowed into the ETF all of last year. Schwab says the inflows corresponded to the rise in inflation expectations.
Patrick Maldari, senior portfolio manager at Aberdeen Asset Management, says the futures market is pricing in a 100% probability that the Fed will raise interest rates at its Dec. 13-14 meeting. He says the market is sorting out the implications of President-elect Trump.
He says growth will be above where it has been in the last several years but capped by concern about global trade, meaning a slight rise in the inflation rate.

Q: How can I cover my gray hair?
By Ayren Jackson-Cannady, Real Simple
updated 8:56 AM EST, Fri November 11, 2011
Getting your gray hair colored by a professional is easier than trying to cover it yourself.
(RealSimple.com) -- If gray hairs are sprouting long before you're ready to embrace them, you're not alone. According to a recent British survey, about 32 percent of women are under 30 when they find that first gray strand. A bottle of hair color isn't always enough to send it undercover: Gray hair is stiffer and drier, making it difficult to mask. (There's a reason it's called "stubborn.")
Real Simple: 4 real-women beauty makeovers
Why Does Hair Go Gray?
As new hairs form and grow, pigment-producing cells called melanocytes inject them with color (a.k.a. melanin), turning them blond, brown, or red. Melanin production slows as we age; when it comes to a complete halt, we go entirely gray.
Real Simple: 10 ways to score big savings at the salon
For some people, it never totally stops. That's why a 40-year-old might have a full head of grays and an 80-year-old might have salt-and-pepper strands. Experts have mixed opinions about whether melanin production is determined solely by genes, but the majority agree that genetics plays a role.
Real Simple: Expert tips on hair coloring
For the most part, everyone will get gray hair -- there will just be differences in when and how much. A little comfort: "Technically, your hair isn't turning gray," says Eric Spengler, the senior vice president of research and development at the hair-care company Living Proof.
"What we call 'gray hair' is just hair that lacks pigment. It's the contrast of that noncolored hair against the rest that gives it a clear, grayish cast." Eventually, science may offer a way to beat back that silver: Researchers at New York University Langone Medical Center, in New York City, have pinpointed the mechanism that can make black mice gray. But until there's some breakthrough that applies the discovery to humans' mousy grays, here are some lower-tech camouflage strategies.
Real Simple: Long-lasting beauty solutions
If you have fewer grays than pigmented strands, coloring at home is the easiest, most inexpensive option. For the best results, Nikki Ferrara, a colorist at the Sally Hershberger salon in New York City, recommends using two boxes of permanent color: one that matches your natural color and one that's a shade darker.
Real Simple: Make your beauty treatment last
Apply the darker one from your roots down an inch or two, and continue with the lighter shade to your ends. Since grays are the most translucent (read: hardest to color) at the roots, you need a darker shade to cover them sufficiently. If you have more grays than pigmented strands, your best bet is to see a pro for bold, lasting color.
Salon colorists can pretreat grays with a peroxide solution before beginning the color process. This softens them, making the cuticles more receptive to absorbing color molecules. Whichever method you choose, you'll want to protect your color: Moisture loss and harsh detergents can accelerate fading, so look for products that are formulated to protect hair color. Here are three to try: Garnier Fructis Style UV Color Shield Anti-Humidity Hairspray, Infusium 23 Color Defender Shampoo, and Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment.

Problem: Background: Susan Magdalane Boyle (born 1 April 1961) is a Scottish singer who came to international attention when she appeared as a contestant on the TV programme Britain's Got Talent on 11 April 2009, singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. Her first album, I Dreamed a Dream, was released in November 2009 and became the UK's best-selling debut album of all time, beating the previous record held by Spirit by Leona Lewis. I Dreamed a Dream set a record for biggest first week sales by a debut album, according to the Official Chart Company in the United Kingdom.
Context: On 9 July 2010, Boyle announced that her second album would be a Christmas album entitled The Gift. As part of the lead-up to the album, she held a competition called Susan's Search, the winner of which sang a duet with her on her new CD. The album was released on 8 November 2010. The album was produced by Steve Mac, who said that "Now Susan's used to the studio and the recording process, this time round we might go even further down a traditional route of recording by getting a band together and rehearsing songs before we go into the studio to see what works, how she reacts with certain parts, and so we can change the arrangements that way. I think that's going to work much better....With Susan it's very important she connects with the public and the public connect with her. She doesn't want to sing anything that hasn't happened to her or she can't relate to." In November 2010, Boyle became one of only three acts ever to top both the UK and US album charts twice in the same year. On 30 November 2010, in the United States, Boyle performed on ABC's The View singing "O Holy Night" and then on NBC's Christmas at Rockefeller Center program performing "Perfect Day" and "Away in a Manger". During her appearance on The View she was unable to finish her song, stating that she had a "frog in her throat"; she wanted to start the song over but was not allowed to. The audience applauded her anyway and she later performed an unaired version of the song which was uploaded to The View's YouTube account. In October 2010 Boyle's autobiography The Woman I Was Born To Be - My Story was published.
Question: Did it receive any award
Answer: In November 2010, Boyle became one of only three acts ever to top both the UK and US album charts twice in the same year.
Problem: Background: Martina Mariea Schiff was born in Sharon, Kansas, on July 29, 1966. She has two brothers, Martin and Steve, who plays in her concert band as of 2017, and a sister, Gina. Martina's parents, Daryl and Jeanne Schiff, owned a dairy farm. Daryl, who was also a cabinetry shop owner, exposed Martina to country music at a young age.
Context: After finding success in country pop-styled music, McBride released her next studio album, Timeless, in 2005, which consisted of country covers. The album included cover versions of country music standards, such as Hank Williams' "You Win Again," Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough," and Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night." To make the album fit its older style, McBride and her husband hired older Nashville session players and outdated analog equipment. The album sold over 250,000 copies within its first week, the highest sales start for a McBride album. The lead single, a cover of Lynn Anderson's "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden", went to number 18 on the country charts, but the other two singles both failed to make top 40. In 2006, McBride served as a guest coach on Canadian Idol. The remaining five finalists traveled to Nashville, where McBride worked with the competitors on the songs they had chosen by country artists such as Gordon Lightfoot and Patsy Cline. Among the other guest judges that year were Nelly Furtado and Cyndi Lauper. McBride later joined Canadian Idol on a tour in the Spring. In 2007, McBride also served as a guest coach on Fox Networks television series, American Idol. In 2007, McBride released her ninth studio album, Waking Up Laughing. It was the first album in which McBride co-wrote some of the tracks. She set up her Waking Up Laughing Tour in 2007, which included country artists Rodney Atkins, Little Big Town, and Jason Michael Carroll. The album's lead single, "Anyway", went to No. 5 on the Billboard Country Chart, becoming her first Top 10 hit since 2003. She also lent her voice singing "Anyway" in a Lifetime movie called, "A Life Interrupted" which premiered on April 23, 2007. Its follow-up, "How I Feel", reached the Top 15. In Spring 2008, McBride released Martina McBride: Live In Concert, a CD/DVD set. It was taped in Moline, Illinois in September 2007. In July 2007, The ABC Television Network announced a special program called Six Degrees of Martina McBride where individuals from around the country were challenged to find their way to McBride on their own connections and research using a maximum of six methods. The "winner" of this challenge eventually located a direct connection to McBride through her husband, John, who knew someone, who knew someone else. McBride recently recorded an electronically produced duet with Elvis Presley, performing his song "Blue Christmas" as a duet with him on his latest compilation, The Elvis Presley Christmas Duets. A compilation collection, titled Playlist: The Very Best of Martina McBride, was released on December 16, 2008, as part of Sony BMG Playlist series. The album features 11 previously released tracks and three unreleased tracks.

Problem: Background: Tulsi Gabbard (, born April 12, 1981) is an American politician of the Democratic Party serving as the U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district since 2013. She was also a Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee until February 28, 2016, when she resigned to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. Elected in 2012, she is the first Samoan American and the first Hindu member of the United States Congress. She served in a field medical unit of the Hawaii Army National Guard in a combat zone in Iraq from 2004 to 2005 and was deployed to Kuwait from 2008 to 2009.
Context: Tulsi Gabbard was born on April 12, 1981, in Leloaloa, American Samoa, the fourth of five children. Her father, Mike Gabbard, is of American Samoan descent; his Samoan family moved to the United States and he became a naturalized citizen at age one. Her mother, Carol (Porter) Gabbard, was born in Decatur, Indiana. In 1983, when Gabbard was two years old, her family moved to Hawaii. Gabbard has spoken about growing up as a mixed-race girl in a multicultural and multireligious household: her father is of Samoan and European ancestry and an active lector at his Catholic church, but also enjoys practicing mantra meditation, including kirtan. Her mother is of European descent and a practicing Hindu. Tulsi embraced Hinduism as a teenager. Gabbard was home-schooled through high school except for two years at a girls-only missionary academy in the Philippines. She graduated from Hawaii Pacific University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration in 2009. She returned from a deployment to Iraq in 2006 and worked for U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka, then volunteered for another deployment to the Middle East in 2009. After returning to Hawaii, she was elected to the Honolulu City Council, where she served from 2011 to 2012. In 2012, she ran for the open 2nd Congressional District seat and won the primary with 55% of the vote in an upset over former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann. She won the general election with 81% of the vote. In the House of Representatives, Gabbard serves on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees. She is also a military police officer with the Hawaii Army National Guard.
Question: What about her mother?

Article:The investigation of events at De La Salle College was ordered in April by former Education Minister John O'Dowd, after months of industrial problems.
On one day in March, about one third of its teachers were absent from work.
The report said some staff "described a culture of fear" and made claims of "bullying and intimidating behaviour".
However, it found that the numerous problems were not "solely attributable" to the principal Claire White, and there was "no single cause or factor" for them.
Criticism of CCMS
The secondary school, in the Andersonstown area of west Belfast, has more than 1,000 pupils and was the scene of protests by parents earlier this year, concerned about the impact of the staff problems on their children's education.
The report, published on Wednesday, said there had been "a wide range of issues and incidents" at the school, stretching back more than three years.
The Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (CCMS), which helps to manage Catholic schools, came in for particular criticism.
The report highlighted failings on behalf of the organisation for not intervening earlier to resolve disputes at the school.
It also said CCMS were "aware of the difficulties and developing conflict within the school" from at least June 2014.
The report also found that the disputes had "a detrimental impact" on pupils at the school.
"Normal classes were frequently disrupted because of the levels of teacher absence," it said.
Financial concerns
The school had also failed to apply for special consideration for all pupils taking GCSE and A-level exams in summer 2016 who might have been affected by the disputes.
Among the report's other findings were:
The current Education Minister Peter Weir received the report earlier this month.
The investigation was led by a three-person panel consisting of leading educationalist Sir Robert Salisbury, trade unionist John Corey and Belfast Metropolitan College's principal Marie-Thérèse McGivern.
Their remit included looking at staff relationships, the role of senior leadership, governance of the school and the impact of the ongoing disputes on pupils.
Mr Weir said he had asked his officials to work with CCMS and the Education Authority to oversee their implementation.
"My priority remains the pupils at the school," the minister said.
"I am confident that the panel's report will provide a sound platform for moving forward in building relations within the school and the wider community, while also making a positive contribution to ensuring that all children receive a quality education experience."
A summary of the above article is?
