Ruth Cohoon Papers Opened to Researchers
Women archers at the University of Arkansas, ca. 1970. (Ruth Cohoon Papers, MC 1880UA, Series 4, Box 1; University of Arkansas Libraries, Special Collections Department.)
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – In celebration of Women’s History Month, the special collections department of the University of Arkansas Libraries is opening a manuscript collection donated by Ruth Cohoon, the first director of women’s athletics at the university.
Cohoon joined the university as a swimming instructor in 1965. In 1972, she was appointed director of the first funded women’s athletic program. During her career at the university, she saw the first athletic scholarships offered to female students and coaching opportunities offered to women educators. Cohoon consistently fought for increased funding, better equipment, more scholarships and greater opportunities for women athletes.
Intercollegiate competition for women became a reality only in the later part of the 20th century after the passage of Title IX of the Equal Opportunity in Education Act of 1972. Prior to this, women competed only in local “sports days” or “play days,” which evolved into intramural and extramural teams. Female educators at the University of Arkansas helped to shape women’s athletics both at the university and in the state of Arkansas. Women’s sports began in what was then called the College of Education, where physical education teachers volunteered their time to coach girls who wanted the opportunity to compete.
The Ruth Cohoon collection not only contains information about the formation of women’s athletics at the University of Arkansas, it also documents developments at the state and national levels. University educators, including Cohoon, were involved in state, regional and national organizations, including the Arkansas Women’s Intercollegiate Sports Association (AWISA) and the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). The collection contains information from every AIAW delegate assembly during its 10 years of existence.
University archivist Amy Allen, who processed the collection, said, “This collection illustrates the challenges women faced for opportunities to compete in athletics.” The collection consists of 11 linear feet of materials in 12 boxes and can be accessed through the special collections department reading room in Mullins Library. Please call ahead at 575-8444 for information concerning availability and retrieval of materials or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org.
For detailed information on the collection see the online finding aid.

At some point in the future, I hope, I’ll have a kid. And I can’t wait. I can’t wait to show that kid all the amazing things this world is about, and to tell that kid all the amazing things that fester in my silly brain. Like every word of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” And just how beautiful Brian Wilson’s voice gets when he sings “… broke my heart” in the Beach Boys’ “Caroline, No.”
In an effort to remember all these things, I’m filing all my music knowledge, opinion, thought, whatever, in a place I’m calling “Music For My Kid.” Each week I plan to write about one essential album my kid needs to hear at some point. Age appropriate and all (like “Pet Sounds” is probably age 15).
And within those boundaries I’ll write about things that just come across my mind at weird times, and those little wonderful moments in music I can’t get enough of (like the way the crowd at Budokan chants back to Cheap Trick in the live version of “I Want You to Want Me,” stuff like that).
Read along if you’d like. This thing is for my kid, first and foremost, but I’d love it if you got something from it, too.

TEMPLE — Interstate 35 main lane closures will affect Salado-area traffic on both Wednesday and Thursday, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
Southbound main lanes will be closed Wednesday, and northbound lanes will close Thursday, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. both nights, so crews can repair damaged pavement.
Jodi Wheatley, TxDOT spokeswoman, said some of the damage was caused by the pavement’s age.
On Wednesday, all southbound traffic will exit at Exit 285 (Farm-to-Market 2268) and get back on I-35 south of FM 2268 near Exit 283. The southbound frontage road will be for one-way southbound traffic only.
The crossing at Main Street will be closed to make traffic flow smoother, Wheatley said.
Thursday’s traffic will get off the interstate at Exit 283 (FM 2268/FM 2483) and get back on I-35 just north of Main Street. The crossing at Main Street will be closed.


Three storm chasers, who made it their business to stalk deadly tornadoes across the Great Plains in order to record and study them, were among 10 people who died as a result of tornadoes in the Oklahoma city area on Friday, it has emerged.
Tim Samaras, 54, was killed along with his 24-year-old son Paul and their companion Carl Young. They were near El Reno when they were hit by a tornado of force EF3 with winds of up to 165mph.
Tim Samaras was one of the most knowledgeable and highly respected of the band of storm chasers who cross the Great Plains every tornado season. His bravery and skills were particularly admired because he managed to get scientific recording equipment into some of the most violent twisters, in an effort to increase understanding about them and thus reduce their devastating effect.
In an interview with National Geographic last month, he said he had become obsessed with tornadoes as a child, while watching the film The Wizard of Oz. "I vowed to myself, 'I'm going to see that tornado one day.' Tornadoes have pretty much become a focus of my life," he said.
Samaras, who had appeared regularly on the Storm Chasers show on the Discovery Channel, said he wanted to understand why some thunderstorms generated twisters while others didn't. That might in turn help to modify building design to reduce casualties.
He described the impact of being close to a powerful tornado. "It's one of those incredible, fleeting moments that sometimes you have to take a couple of seconds to take in. The sounds are different. If the tornado is in an open field, it sounds like a waterfall. If it's in a populated area, it becomes more of a thundering sound."
Chris West, the undersheriff in Canadian County where the tornado struck, said of the storm chasers: "They put themselves in harm's way so that they can educate the public about the destructive power of these storms."
Another storm chaser, Tony Laubach, who had worked alongside Samaras for several years, told Reuters: "Tim Samaras was the best there was and he was the last person you would think this would happen to. It's going to bring everybody down to earth. A lot of chasing has been getting very, very careless, and Tim is not a careless person. He is as nimble and skilled as he could be."
Samaras lived in Colorado, where he ran a severe weather recording company called Twistex. He specialized in collecting measurements of temperature, humidity, pressure and wind-speed in thunderstorms, in the hope of predicting twisters and increasing the time in which members of the public could be alerted.


ColdQuanta offers "atomic chips” according to customer requirements. These “Atom chips” are installed by default in the RuBeCi system used by ColdQuanta and allow to manipulate cold atoms. These unique window chips allow both optical and magnetic control over the cold atoms.

COMPANY NEWS; Apple License Plan Confirmed
Published: September 17, 1994
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16— Apple Computer Inc. confirmed today that it would license its Macintosh System 7.5 operating system software to other personal computer makers.
This is a departure from the company's long-held policy of limiting the software to computers it makes. That policy isseen as having restricted the growth of Macintosh's share of the PC market.
Microsoft shares slipped $1.375, to $56.875, after Apple said it would license its Macintosh software operating system. The move means new competition for Microsoft, which has 80 percent of the operating systems market. Apple shares rose 37.5 cents, to $36.375.
Apple said it would begin by licensing its core Macintosh operating system and elements of its Power PC hardware. It has not yet identified the companies to which it will give licensing rights, but analysts have expected the policy to be restrictive to limit the competitive dangers to Apple's own products.
Timothy Bajarin, an analyst of Creative Strategies in San Jose, Calif., said Apple told analysts today that the first licensing agreements would be with manufacturers in Italy, Germany and Japan.
Unlike Apple, I.B.M. uses an open-systems strategy popularizing operating systems from Microsoft that clone makers also use. As a result, that system became dominant over Apple's in the personal computer industry.

County’s coroner With coronavirus claiming staggering numbers of lives in Los Angeles County, strapped private mortuaries unable to take on more bodies are straining local hospitals’ morgue capacity, forcing them to transport the deceased to the county’s coroner. County officials acknowledged the strain on Wednesday, when the pandemic’s toll topped 10,000 in the region, with fears that it will only get worse as overwhelmed healthcare workers scramble to keep up with thousands of patients a day.

Open, and shut
PATRIOT FILE PHOTO
LISTENING TOUR – Attorney J. Albert Johnson, retained by Town Manager John Klimm, views the town council’s July 14 meeting at Barnstable High School. He attended last week’s council meeting as well.
Council split on open meeting complaints
The record will show that the Barnstable Town Council found three open meeting complaints filed by two of its own members without merit last week.
It will also show that six councilors agreed with that statement and six councilors disagreed, depending on whether the complaint had been filed by Councilor Jim Crocker or Councilor Janet Joakim.
What the state attorney general made of all this when the council’s special counsel, Jonathan Davis, reported the Aug. 4 vote remains to be seen.
The council ruled also that complaints by residents John Julius and Gary Lopez were not timely, a decision protested by Julius. He said state law provides leeway by allowing that complaints can be filed with the time that someone could reasonably have known that a violation had occurred. The vote in that case was 8 to 3, with councilors Greg Milne, Jim Munafo, Jr., and John Norman voting to discuss the complaints; Councilor Hank Farnham abstained.
Early on, Crocker pushed for public discussion of his complaints that executive sessions had been called for purposes other than those announced in public session. Joakim countered that she was “uncomfortable with how much” of the content of the executive session was included in the complaint, suggesting there could be a “violation of ethics.”
Joakim’s complaint, that a bloc of councilors was arranging its votes before sessions in violation of the open meeting law, drew six votes in support and six against.
The discussion, such as it was, of the merits of the complaints followed an angry public comment session and council response at the outset of the meeting. Once again, the six councilors who had voted to buy out Town Manager John Klimm’s contract were challenged to explain their reasons – and, once again, Councilor Ann Canedy pointed to the alert presence of Klimm’s lawyer, J. Albert Johnson of Centerville, in the room. She and others noted the letter Johnson had sent on Klimm’s behalf that threatened prosecution should councilors broach the terms of the buyout agreement by discussing the manager’s performance.
A referee scoring the evening’s bouts would had to have written, “No decision.”


The top image to the right shows the Twin Omega-Maxi model being used with two independent control loops and two separate internal heaters linked with 'Omega'-style flange adapters.
The arrangement is fitted to a pinch valve, which contains a neoprene tube that is operated by fluid pressure. At low temperatures, the neoprene loses its flexibility, so that the valve becomes inoperable. The Limpet heating system is therefore designed to start operating when the temperature falls below a pre-determined level to ensure that the valve continues to operate correctly.
You can see that the two Omega shapes conduct heat around the valve flanges and into the aluminium valve body, ensuring that the valve remains operational. Of course, the valve is insulated to minimise heat loss.
Since each Omega has a separate control circuit, all set from one adjustable potentiometer, the orientation can be horizontal or vertical and the effects of thermal heat rise or differing thermal loads at each end of the valve will be compensated for automatically.
Heating this way is far superior to electrical trace heating as it provides a solid, mechanical, close-fitting arrangement that is very easy to fit with just a few bolts and a flex connection and will last a lifetime, giving you peace of mind.
The ability to work in ambient temperatures as low as -40°C means that the toughest of environments can be accommodated.

Given the limited coverage of Israel’s then one-month-long attack on the Gaza Strip by the Times and the many unsubstantiated claims relayed by Israeli and international media, we consider the interview between Rudoren and Zaqout to be a lost opportunity.

Human Rights Groups Rips Rudoren
I much-deserved thrashing, with evidence, of NYT's Jody Rudoren for just one of her several stenographic articles on the Gaza-Israel conflict last month. Read the whole thing (and here's my take on the same article). I love where they caught her in lie about an interview and she corrected tweet but not article.

Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton posted an update to fans on the diary section of her official web site. “Hi there, It’s been a while – OK, it’s been a long while! – but I hope you’re all well,” she writes. “Just wanted to drop you a quick line as I’ve been having a busy time of it – honest! I’ve recently been in LA for work which was a total blast, I have to say. I was there just to have a few preliminary work meetings but the best thing was that I was able to have a bit of time off – I went to see ‘American Idol’ which I’m a big fan of – and I also caught up with a lot of mates while I was there: I hung out with Rachel Stevens but I also got to see Geri [Halliwell] and Melanie B too. Geri looks absolutely lovely – pregnancy seems to really be suiting her – and it was great to catch up with Mel. I went to Phoenix’s seventh birthday party – I can’t believe she’s grown up so quickly, I checked out her playing basketball too, which was very sweet.”

Baby Spice is over.”

To Buy or Not to Buy
The decision whether to buy or rent a home may have long-term implications.
Have A Question About This Topic?
Five strategies for managing your student debt.
Making the most of surprises is a great reason to work with us.
Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering selling your life insurance policy.

domain: economics


GWEN IFILL: Now, the rationale behind the government’s decision and possible fallout yet to come. Ray Suarez picks up on that part of the story.
RAY SUAREZ: And for that, we get two views. Allan Meltzer is a professor of political economy and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University. He’s also a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
And Michael Lewitt is president of Harch Capital Management, a money management firm.
And, Michael Lewitt, let’s start with you. AIG was teetering on the brink. The Federal Reserve stepped in. Was the right decision made to move in, in this way?
MICHAEL LEWITT, Harch Capital Management: It was the right decision. I think that, if AIG had failed, it would have caused catastrophic losses throughout the global financial system.
AIG is a uniquely global company. It has relationships with virtually every other financial institution in the world. And its failure, its inability to meet its obligations would have caused a cascade of troubles for other financial institutions. It would have caused potentially other hedge funds and other companies to fail.
And I don’t know if the losses could have been contained if the government had not stepped in.
RAY SUAREZ: Professor Meltzer, did the Fed do the right thing?
ALLAN MELTZER, Carnegie Mellon University: No. There were bids on the floor for AIG. AIG it didn’t take the bids. It thought it could get a better deal from the government. That’s a bad way to run the system.
We can’t afford to run a system and we won’t be able to where the bankers make the profits and the public takes the losses. That just is not viable.
Virtues and flaws of the bailout
RAY SUAREZ: But Michael Lewitt said there were very few choices because of the unique status of AIG in the world markets.
ALLAN MELTZER: AIG has four parts. One of them was in trouble. The other three make money. It could be sold. It should have been sold. It should have gone as a private company to some other private company. And that was an option that was available.
RAY SUAREZ: Michael Lewitt, were there other alternatives?
MICHAEL LEWITT: Not in the time period necessary -- you know, not in the time period they had. This was something that had to be done over a matter of days. You can't sell a company that quickly, in my view.
They did do it in the case of Merrill Lynch. I think Bank of America may find there are some surprises there. And in this case, the shareholders were wiped out, as they should have been.
So I think that no one got rich on this deal. And I think the right thing was done.
ALLAN MELTZER: It's not a matter of getting rich. It's a question of whether we're protecting the public interest or the private interest.
The government is here to protect the public interest. What it's doing is protecting private interests. And that's a big mistake and one that we shouldn't continue to tolerate.
We've gotten through now a whole range of these firms. The government has salvaged a number of them. That just puts all those losses onto the taxpayers. That's not where they belong.
RAY SUAREZ: Michael Lewitt?
MICHAEL LEWITT: Well, I don't disagree that the taxpayers are going to bear a heavy price for all of these rescues, but at the same time, had AIG not been rescued, the financial system, in my view, would have come apart.
And at that point, everybody, including the taxpayers, would have suffered grievous losses. As it is, in the wake of the AIG rescue, the financial system is barely functioning. Banks are not loaning to each other. Capital is unavailable.
And I think the reason for that is because people properly understand that AIG is going to cease to exist, that it's going to be liquidated, just in slow motion. And what the government was trying to do is prevent a free fall bankruptcy that would have just precipitated a continuing fall of dominos.
But there's no question Professor Meltzer is correct. The taxpayers are going to pay a price for this. We're all going to pay a price for this. The dollar is going to continue to deteriorate. The U.S. balance sheet is getting trashed. And this is no way to run a railroad, as they say.
ALLAN MELTZER: And it might have been better if we had allowed it to be sold. I've been following these problems for 40 or 50 years. You know, it always comes down at the end to this.
Someone goes to the secretary of the Treasury or, in this case, the chairman of the Fed and says, "If we don't do this, we're going to have a terrible depression. It'll be known as the Bernanke depression. And if you don't act, there's going to be a disaster."
Well, that's not always the case. And these disasters should be headed off early or should be left to the marketplace to settle. They made these mistakes, and they should pay for them.
The context of AIG's rescue
RAY SUAREZ: Well, Professor, you said you've been following this for 40 or 50 years. Has the Fed ever come in, in this way, to buy an 80 percent stake of such a large company before?
ALLAN MELTZER: Not only that, but in 1921, way back in the midst of a terrible recession, depression, prices falling 20 percent a year, bigger than anything we've seen recently, the Congress came to the Fed and said, "You have to bail out the farmers."
The farmers were a big part of the economy at that time, and they had made bad purchases. The Fed said, "It's not our business," so Congress passed, created the Federal Land Banks.
A couple of years later, in the midst of the Depression, Congress came to the Fed and said, "We have problems with the housing industry." The housing industry often a place where there's problems. What did the Fed say? Said, "Not our problem." Congress created the Federal Home Loan Banks.
This is a problem -- if there is a government problem, it's a problem to be handled by the Congress, not by the Fed.
RAY SUAREZ: Michael Lewitt, was AIG a decent bet, given the fact that it had significant assets and many profitable operations?
MICHAEL LEWITT: Well, AIG, there's a great deal about AIG that is very attractive. The problem is the company was pushed to the brink and there was very little time to work out a solution.
The credit agencies, you know, decided to withdraw their ratings because the market had decided to withdraw its credit. And that became a problem that really literally had to be solved overnight, and that was unfortunate.
In the case of Lehman Brothers, the belief was -- and I think it was a correct one -- that the market had had at least six months to prepare for the problem and so they could let that company go.
There was no such luxury of time in the case of AIG. And I think the other thing is I think the AIG rescue needs to be viewed in the context of what's gone on before.
Frankly, you know, the rescue of Bear Stearns, you know, started a series of commitments on the part of the government that continued with the rescues of Fannie and Freddie and now with AIG.
If the government had not rescued AIG, the previous rescues really would have gone for naught. And these problems are all a culmination of years and years of bad policies and bad decisions.
And hopefully this will be an occasion for people at all levels of the system, all levels of the government to re-evaluate how we manage things, because we are in terribly serious trouble because of the results of decades of very bad thinking and very bad policies.
Weapons of 'financial destruction'
RAY SUAREZ: Professor, what about Michael Lewitt's point, that given the amount of money that the federal government has already put on the line, the AIG bailout was necessary to make -- to save those previous investments?
ALLAN MELTZER: Well I'm not in favor of those previous investments, either. I agree with him that the government has been going into this and, as it goes into this, it encourages people to say, "Well, we're not going to take any of those deals from the marketplace because we might get a better deal from the government." And sometimes they do.
I would say we ought to look at Lehman Brothers. They let Lehman Brothers fail. Within a few days, just a few days, Barclays was there buying up some of Lehman's assets, the same thing.
AIG has a terrific insurance company all over the world. It has a premiere place in China, and it's doing very well there. It has a big aircraft leasing business. It does very well there. It has three major divisions that make money.
It's hard to believe that somebody wouldn't come in on a fire sale, just the way Bank of America came in on a fire sale of Merrill Lynch. It's just not true. It's just frightening.
And, you know, this has been a crisis where people on Wall Street were telling us in January, "This is like the Great Depression." Well, that was just an overstatement. It was a problem for them, a serious, major problem for them. But the rest of the economy is struggling along, doing pretty well, no depression.
RAY SUAREZ: Michael Lewitt, go ahead.
MICHAEL LEWITT: Well, I would just say this, that part of what Professor Meltzer I think is saying -- and I would agree with it -- is that the regulators are being held hostage to a degree by this, you know, what Warren Buffett once called weapons of mass financial destruction, which are derivatives.
One of the biggest fears with respect to the failure of Bear Stearns and with respect to the failure of AIG were the massive amount of credit default swaps that were on the books. And, you know, this is a market that's reportedly $62 trillion in face amount. There's no central clearing agency. No one knows who owes what to whom.
And the great fear is the great fear of the unknown. Nobody really knows, and everybody is greatly afraid of what will happen if a company as connected as Bear Stearns, where there's no time to prepare for a bankruptcy, or a company even larger, like AIG, where there's no time to prepare for a bankruptcy goes bust or into a freefall bankruptcy.
Lehman, people felt it was time to prepare and counterparties had six months to unwind their positions. In the case of AIG, there wasn't.
And I tend to be afraid of that very risk, because these credit default swap contracts are very complex, and nobody really knows what's going to happen when they unwind. The legal precedents are very uncertain. The contracts are not always drawn so precisely.
And so we're effectively held hostage by a market that regulators failed to regulate, that Wall Street, you know, really prevented from being regulated, made no steps to get regulated.
Risks to the bailout
MICHAEL LEWITT: And something needs to be -- you know, it's too late now, obviously, but now there's -- you know, everybody all of a sudden is a reformer. But, you know, a number of us have been calling for this problem to be fixed for a long time.
The SEC, a couple years ago, came out -- I believe it was the SEC -- and discovered that an enormous percentage of the trades in this market were not being closed on time. And so they quickly pushed the dealers into fixing that problem.
But, you know, this is just, you know, a ridiculous way to allow a market to grow that has this much influence on not just, you know, the United States' economy, on the global economy. And the fact that this happened is, you know, will probably go down in history as one of the most significant regulatory failures that we've ever seen.
RAY SUAREZ: Very briefly before we go, Professor, does the size of this intervention constrain the Fed from future action? If there's another AIG waiting in the wings, will it be unable to act because it's already got so much money on the line?
ALLAN MELTZER: Well, today, the Treasury came in to borrow money on a special issue for the Federal Reserve. Now, usually it's the Federal Reserve which is financing the Treasury. Now we have the Treasury financing the Federal Reserve.
Well, that doesn't mean -- that means they're not going to run out of money. They're not going to let them run out of money. And, indeed, the Federal Reserve can print money. So it's not going to run out of money. That's not where the risk is.
The risk is that, each time we do one of these bailouts, we encourage other people to take more risks and come for bailouts. So we end up with a system in which the bankers make the profits and the public takes the losses, in which the public interest is subverted to the private interest. And that's not a system that's going to survive.
RAY SUAREZ: Professor Meltzer, Michael Lewitt, gentlemen, thank you both.

A total of four combustion tests studying the response of various water/fuel emulsion rates on NOx emissions have been conducted on: (a) Paraho shale oil, (b) H-Coal© (372x–522 K) distillate, (c) No. 2 oil doped with quinoline, (d) H-Coal© (505–616 K) distillate, utilizing a 0.14-m dia gas turbine can-type combustor at base-load conditions. Each test fuel run was proceeded with a base-line fuel run with No. 2 distillate oil. The results indicate that the effectiveness of water injection to reduce NOx decreased rapidly with an increase in the fuel-bound nitrogen (FBN) content of the test fuels. The smoke number, in general, decreased with increased water injection, while carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons increased at high water/fuel flow rates.

Here are my views of how I felt my top 5 (that I chose last week) performed. These are not in order of how I felt they ranked but in the order of performance on tonight’s show. Of course I am saying Angie killed it and you can check out her performance here Angie Miller – Yesterday – American Idol 12… by IdolxMuzic
Amber Holcome was the third to perform during the show and the first to sound amazing! She performed “She’s Leaving Home” and even though the judges didn’t love it, she sounded incredible on television. Did anyone else forget we were watching a competition and thought we were just tuning into an Amber Holcome concert! I did! Phenomenal! Definitely staying in the top 5.
Lazaro Arbos Lazaro sang “In My Life”. He has such a smooth and silky voice. I love to hear him talk and then hear him sing. It is a complete transformation. I don’t agree with what the judges said because he sounded wonderful on television. I would say that out of my original top 5 he was the weakest. BUT I think he is safe. I am sure his fans will vote after the judges moved him to tears saying he doesn’t have the confidence and chose the wrong key. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the bottom 3. I am disappointed with the judges’ commentary because he is a really great singer and I have yet to see the confidence issue of him singing that they discuss every show.
Candice Glover put her rock spin on “Come Together” during the show tonight. Similar to how I felt I was watching Amber in concert, with Candice I felt like I was watching an award show and she was one of the guest performers! REMARKABLE! Top 3 again for this lady!
Angie Miller Angie, Angie, Angie, Angie, Girl you are a star! As I was listening I wrote down “stripped down performance”. Angie sang “Yesterday” and you could hear the emotion in her voice. Does that make sense? As she worked her way through the song she had the power note, which had everyone cheering but then she had moments with little musical accompaniment and a softer tone. You literally could just feel the emotion. As Mariah said #POW and as Nicki shared, Angie can do anything and go anywhere, voiceovers, movies, rock music, Broadway. I couldn’t agree more. This girl is a star! Top 3 again for this lady!
Devin Velez Sang “The Long and Winding Road” another smooth and endearing performance, the strongest male performance of the night. I loved the riffs and it was like he was telling a story. Mariah shared he could sing any genre and she would be impressed. I can see Devin being in the Top 5.
For this week my picks for Top 3 are Angie, Candice and Janelle.

text: Reconstructing the lineage relationships and dynamic event histories of individual cells within their native spatial context is a long-standing challenge in biology. Many biological processes of interest occur in optically opaque or physically inaccessible contexts, necessitating approaches other than direct imaging. Here we describe a synthetic system that enables cells to record lineage information and event histories in the genome in a format that can be subsequently read out of single cells in situ. This system, termed memory by engineered mutagenesis with optical in situ readout (MEMOIR), is based on a set of barcoded recording elements termed scratchpads. The state of a given scratchpad can be irreversibly altered by CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted mutagenesis, and later read out in single cells through multiplexed single-molecule RNA fluorescence hybridization (smFISH). Using MEMOIR as a proof of principle, we engineered mouse embryonic stem cells to contain multiple scratchpads and other recording components. In these cells, scratchpads were altered in a progressive and stochastic fashion as the cells proliferated. Analysis of the final states of scratchpads in single cells in situ enabled reconstruction of lineage information from cell colonies. Combining analysis of endogenous gene expression with lineage reconstruction in the same cells further allowed inference of the dynamic rates at which embryonic stem cells switch between two gene expression states. Finally, using simulations, we show how parallel MEMOIR systems operating in the same cell could enable recording and readout of dynamic cellular event histories. MEMOIR thus provides a versatile platform for information recording and in situ, single-cell readout across diverse biological systems.

People often use a bathroom dehumidifier or an exhaust fan to combat the dampness in the bathroom. While both of them can remove excess moisture from your restroom, which one suits you better.
If your bathroom is humid all day long, using a dehumidifier is a better choice. Otherwise, installing an exhaust fan is adequate to get rid of clammy air there.
However, this is just one of the deciding factors. Bathroom dehumidifiers and exhaust fans have a set of pros and cons which can affect your choice.
In this post, I’ll make a list of them and carefully compare them to help you decide which one is best for you.
Difference between bathroom dehumidifiers and exhaust fans
Even though the primary function of bathroom dehumidifiers and exhaust fans are similar, they work on different principles.
Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air by converting it to liquid water. When air is drawn into the machine, it passes through a cold coil that condenses the moisture into water, and the drier air is reheated by the condenser coil before being returned to the room. This is how a compressor dehumidifier works.
If you have a desiccant dehumidifier, rather than going through two coils, it will pass through a wheel which will absorb the moisture.
Regardless of the type of dehumidifier, you have to drain the water from the water vapor in the air.
Unlike the bathroom dehumidifier, the bathroom exhaust fan doesn’t collect any water. When the motor kicks in, the blades will spin rapidly and pull the moisture out of the space. Bathroom fans are not portable. You should install it on the ceiling or window.
You see, they work in different ways. Accordingly, they will accommodate different needs and have various pros and cons. (More on that later)
Benefits of bathroom dehumidifier
Bathroom dehumidifiers can remove the humidity persistently
The bathroom is always the wettest place in the house due to your daily activities and that it is close to the water source.
A dehumidifier can remove moisture continuously, keeping the bathroom dry all day. No matter how humid your room is, there is always a model that can handle it. Since most bathrooms are small, a mini dehumidifier is sufficient in most cases.
We can’t, however, run an exhaust fan all day. It will easily overheat and malfunction.
Bathroom dehumidifiers can keep the humidity level under control
Most dehumidifiers now include a built-in humidistat, which means the machine will turn on and off when the humidity reaches a certain level. This keeps the bathroom comfortable without being overly humid or dry.
Exhaust fans do not have this type of sensor. It will not turn on automatically if there is excessive moisture in the bathroom.
Easy to set up
Setting up a dehumidifier is easy peasy! Just move it to the bathroom, plug it in, press some buttons, and you are all set. You don’t need to attach it to anything, and everybody can get it done.
Installing an exhaust fan could be more complicated and should be done by an electrician.
Drawbacks of bathroom dehumidifier
Higher electricity consumption
The average wattage of a dehumidifier is about 400W, and a mini model is only about 22.5W, which is not high.
Exhaust fans use even less electricity than bathroom dehumidifiers, with wattages ranging from 5W to 40W.
Furthermore, you may need to run a dehumidifier in the bathroom for a few hours or all day, which will result in much higher electricity bills. Choosing an energy star-certified model can save you up to 15% on your energy bill.
Take up more spaces
Again, bathrooms usually have limited spaces. Putting a dehumidifier inside it may interrupt your walk path or take up the area where you want to store your skincare products.
A dehumidifier is a good choice, but it may not be an applicable option.
You may need to dump the water frequently
Every bathroom dehumidifier has a water reservoir to collect water. If your bathroom is too humid, you may need to empty the bucket a few times a day, which is tedious.
Some models have a drain port, allowing you to direct the water to the floor drain or a sink. In some cases, a pump is required to ensure that the water flows smoothly.
Higher product price
In general, a medium-sized bathroom dehumidifier costs more than an exhaust fan. However, if you have a small bathroom, you can choose a mini model, which may cost less than a bathroom fan.
Benefits of exhaust fan
Exhaust fans can pull out moisture in a short time
A dehumidifier can constantly remove the moisture, but it will take a few hours or even a day to work.
The exhaust fan is more efficient at removing moisture and steam from your bathroom. If you turn on the fan while showering, you can turn it off before leaving because most of the water has been removed.
It keeps water vapor from condensing on the shower wall, lowering the likelihood of mold growth.
Exhaust fans can remove odor
Compared to a bathroom dehumidifier, an exhaust fan has more functionalities. It can remove not only the humidity but also the fume or other smells.
It can effectively eliminate the odors after doing your business, causing much less embarrassment. Assuming someone is waiting to use the bathroom next to you, an exhaust fan could make their experience much better.
Beyond that, the added air circulation can bring in more fresh air, improving the indoor air quality.
Exhaust fans can remove heat
After taking a hot shower, your bathroom can become very hot. It could be annoying in summer times. Running a bathroom fan can pull the heat out of the room.
A dehumidifier can make the room feel cold to some extent by lowering the humidity level. However, it will blow hot air, gradually raising the temperature. In a warmer climate, using a bathroom dehumidifier may not be a good idea.
Exhaust fans can be cheaper
Because of the simple mechanism, exhaust fans don’t have a high price tag. You can get a pretty good one for under $100, which is less than the price of a standard dehumidifier.
Besides, installing a window fan is straightforward. By sliding the bathroom window up, you are able to secure it between the window and window frames. Installing a ceiling fan can be complicated, which I will cover later.
Exhaust fans are space-saving
When running a dehumidifier, you must place it on the floor or on the table, which will take up the valuable space in your bathroom.
Exhaust fans could be better for a tight space because they will be installed on the window or ceiling, which will not occupy the space at all.
Drawbacks of exhaust fan
Exhaust fans can’t really control the humidity level
Regarding humidity control, exhaust fans can send the steam and humid air out of the house. However, they can’t maintain it or control it under a certain level.
Again, it doesn’t have a sensor to do it. In addition, when they pull out the air, they will create a negative pressure in your home, which facilitates the outside air creeping into the bathroom through cracks and crevices.
As a result, the indoor air will always mix with the outdoor air, making the humidity level lose control. The air outside can become very humid at times, increasing the moisture level in your home.
Window fans allow insects and bugs to come in
While window fans are affordable, they have their shortnesses. Firstly, they make the bathroom windows useless. You can’t open the window without removing it.
Secondly, the insects and bugs can get into the bathroom through the crevices between the blades. The bathroom is usually humid, and bugs like to stay in wet places.
Installing a ceiling fan is difficult and expensive
You don’t need to pay labor costs when setting up a bathroom dehumidifier or a windows fan. However, hiring a pro to install the ceiling fan is a necessity unless you have the expertise.
To get it installed, you need to cut the ceiling and connect the fan to the power source, which can involve many steps. Accordingly, the labor cost may be higher than you expect.
Which one should you pick?
Until now, we have compared bathroom humidifiers with exhaust fans from many aspects.
A bathroom dehumidifier can control the humidity level precisely and constantly, whereas an exhaust fan can expel a large amount of moisture out of the house in a short time.
A bathroom dehumidifier may be preferable if you live in a humid area since it can keep the bathroom dry all day. Otherwise, an exhaust fan could be a better choice since it is space-saving and can remove the odors and heat at the same time.

A recent story in the Washington Times dissects the Obama experience over the last four years. In particular, the writers focus on the catastrophic leadership, or lack there of, that Pres. Obama has displayed while in office. Rather than reach across the aisle, and find practical compromise with his opponents on the hill, he battled them. As a result of his leadership vacuum, the economy is limping along, at antianemic pace. We are suffering from the worst “recovery” on record, and there is no indication that things will get better in the next four years.
Mr. Obama’s economic record has been about as bad as it could possibly be. In his first budget proposal, he promised the economy would be growing at a brisk 6.3 percent by 2012. Instead, it’s limping along at just over 1 percent. He promised that the federal deficit would be carved down to $581 billion. Instead, it has ballooned beyond $1 trillion. In 2009, he promised that if his budget-busting stimulus plan were passed, unemployment would be around 5.5 percent by now. Instead, the official rate is nearly 8 percent. Poverty has increased; the number of long-term unemployed has increased; there are millions more discouraged workers; food stamp use has surged; gas prices are up and family incomes are down. A second term would be no different.

Watermelon cake is an idea of a cake rather than a recipe. There are several interpretations of cake-in-the-guise-of-a-melon in American cookbooks from the 1870’s to 1930’s, and surely it is a fun idea worth re-discovering. T.W.Barritt over at Culinary Types has done just that in his latest Retro Cake Challenge. Do go over and drool, it looks gorgeous.
Quotation of the Day …
Mark Twain said: “The true Southern watermelon is a boon apart, and not to be mentioned with commoner things. It is chief of this world's luxuries, king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we know it because she repented.”

Alter Ego was a swedish synth/ebm act in the early '90s, from Hofors in Sweden with obvious influences from A Split Second, Front 242, Front Line Assembly and the darker techno wave as it appeared in Sweden at that time.
Alter Ego may be the only local synth band ever that also performed their music live in Hofors. In 1988-1992 when they were actively making music together the small town was in all other aspects without an electronic scene.
They produced roughly a dozen songs that were performed live and spread to friends. The songs were done in several versions and retakes. One of these inofficial demo tapes has been recompiled for release on last.fm and is renamed "Industricity" as a reference to the to the industrial city they grow out of, the ambitions that going against the stream demands and for the genre they explored.
The members are still active electronic musicians. Mikael Mäntylä is making dark dance music today as MICCO and Kent Norling is a member of the electronic band DUTY.
Alter Ego have released an online compilation of their old tape material on last.fm at http://www.last.fm/music/Alter+Ego/Industricity
