Female Frogs Tricked by Scientists Into Responding to Fake Mating Calls From Robots
We're certain this proves some very, very important things about evolution and so forth. We're just not at all sure what any of those things are.
Science is great for a lot of things — curing diseases, discovering new sources of energy, what have you. However, science is also responsible for a lot of accidents that weird us out more than anything else. Case in point: consider the Túngara frog, who can typically be found croaking away in Central America. Scientists from the University of Texas discovered a way to fool the female of the Túngara frog species into responding to bogus mating calls that shouldn’t even be possible, all using a robot impostor frog to do it. What’s next, a cyborg-frog hybrid species? Man was not meant to toy with nature thus!
First, the team attempted to recreate all the different components of the male Túngara frog’s mating call with a replica, which is a pretty good likeness judging from the below video. You know, until the very end. I hope that never happens to actual frogs.
They then studied the way in which male frogs actually seduce their female counterparts, made a handy chart of behavior patterns, and tested that chart out by trying those patterns on the female frogs using their new robot.
The result was that the researchers uncovered some ways of provoking attraction in a female Túngara frog that could never have existed in nature — not to mention a whole load of confused lady frogs:
Poor girl — she’s basically getting catfished. By a frog!
Basically, by combining multiple aspects of the mating call — a “whine,” a “chuck,” and an expansion of the vocal sac — the researchers were somehow were able to trick the frog into thinking that she was actually hearing the correct mating call, which got her all excited for potential frog sex.
The original news release to Texas Science Daily describes it thusly, quoting head biologist Michael Ryan:
Ryan compared the phenomenon to what’s called a “continuity illusion” in humans. If loud enough white noise is played in between a pair of beeps, humans will begin to perceive the beeps as a continuous tone. It’s not fully understood why this happens, but it’s probably a byproduct of our brains’ useful ability to filter out background noise.
Túngara frogs are challenged by an auditory world similar to what confronts humans in noisy environments (what’s called the “cocktail party problem” by cognitive scientists). At breeding choruses there is a lot of noise and cross talk, with sounds and images of several males reaching the female at different times. The females need to extract meaningful information from all of that. Ryan said it’s plausible the neural mechanisms that enable them to correctly parse these stimuli in nature are being hijacked by this artificial scenario.
So what should we take away from this? Well, that certain animals are very good at adapting to new situations to prolong their genetic lines… or they’re just really dumb when it comes to sex. Actually, come to think of it, that may be a lot of animals.
- Maybe male frogs are just creepy assholes in general
- You know, when they’re not tiny and adorable
- Or totally badass, just like Wolverine

Michael Cullen is traversing the 1,000 miles to raise money for Leave the Light On.
Six weeks after a miraculous Champions League victory, it looks as if the Red Devil's season will end in misery.
This really isn’t Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal anymore.
While the game itself may have been forgettable, Sunday’s Merseyside derby might prove to be the most meaningful meeting between the sides in decades.
There's no better way to respond to an unexpected loss than by easily beating a top-six rival 3-1.
One man was stabbed in the face during what police believe to have been a violent clash on Saturday between opposing soccer fans ahead of Everton and Millwall’s FA Cup...
After an up and down first season in Premier League, the French striker has started to excel.
A memorable victory doesn't change the fact that things have gone desperately wrong at United.
Pep Guardiola has all but clinched the league before the halfway point of the season.
The Merseyside club is still struggling mightily over a month after firing Ronald Koeman as manager.

Muscle Oxidative Capacity in the Arms and Legs of Various Types of Endurance Trained Athletes Muscle Oxidative Capacity in Endurance Trained Athletes
Main Article Content
Our study used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure muscle oxidative capacity (mVmax) in the medial gastrocnemius, vastus lateralis, biceps brachii, and wrist flexor muscles in Cross-country (LEG-T) and Swimmer/Rowers (WHOLE-T) and controls. Young male adults: cross-country LEG-Tners (n=6) and swimmers/rowers (n=5), moderately fit (CONTROL, n=7) were tested. mVmax was measured as the rate of post-exercise recovery of oxygen consumption after a short bout of exercise using NIRS. Whole-body peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) was determined during a continuous treadmill protocol. The lower limb muscles had 42% higher mVmax than upper limb muscles in all subjects, with significant differences in 10 of 12 pairwise comparisons (p< 0.05). The LEG-T group had higher mVmax values in both legs than CONTROL group (p< 0.05), while the WHOLE-T group had higher mVmax in the vastus lateralis (p = 0.048). There were no differences in the arm muscles of between the groups. The combined mVmax of both leg muscles in all groups correlated with VO2peak (r2=0.597). Muscle oxidative capacity was consistent with training status, and leg mitochondrial capacity correlated with maximal whole body oxidative capacity. These results support the use of NIRS measurements to characterize oxidative capacity in skeletal muscles of athletic populations.

My soldier will be home soon.
The other night, my husband said, "We've been putting a brave face on all of this - but I am going to be relieved when it's over."
And she's seen and been near and heard about and dealt with the fallout from so much hideousness that I wonder ... I wonder what part of our country's burden she will deal with. What part of the warrior's sacrifice we will deal with.
See, that's the deal. Soldiers don't just walk off the stage and repair their costumes and then come back into view. While they're gone and we can't see them, they absorb into their bodies and minds a permanent burden of pain. And, as William Blake said, "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." That's the other part about being a soldier that the people at home cannot know. The narrative includes the doubting Thomas and the thrice-denying Peter. Closest friends who don't get it. Betrayal. Abandonment.
In this Eastertide, as we approach Ascension Day on Thursday, I think about the fact that Jesus used his scars as proof. Remember that? Jesus, very God of very God, begotten not made, being of one substance with the Father, came to earth, and was a helpless baby, and now he bears the scars of our pain. That's the Christian story. He who knew no sin became sin for us.
He showed Thomas the scars. See? he said. It's really me. I am not a ghost. I'm the risen Christ - look where the nails and the spear went in. He could eat with them - feast with them - talk with them - rejoice with them ... but he still held the scars in his body.
Soldiers do that. Even if they come home "without a scratch," they hold in their bodies and minds the pain - the anguish of the world. They bear it for the rest of their lives.
Lots of research has been done lately about post-traumatic growth and health. There is such a thing. I'll be looking into it. I need to know how to process this kind of pain. The story of the restoration of Peter - when Jesus asked him three times, "Peter, do you love me?" - that story is important to me today. Peter was restored. Peter turned from the sword and learned to feed sheep.
Odysseus. And Achilles. Our Lord, too. Permanently changed because of sacrifice and battle. Victory doesn't come cheap. And now I want verbiage. The book covers are linked to sites - just click.

SnagFilms used the Sundance Film Festival as an opportunity to announce that Terry Semel has made an unspecified investment in the digital network company and has joined its board of directors. Semel is best known to the entertainment industry as the former chairman and CEO of Yahoo and former co-chairman and co-CEO of Warner Bros.
SnagFilms founder and chairman Ted Leonsis and CEO Rick Allen said the company is in the process of expanding its film library and extending its distribution reach to additional platforms, and that Semel’s experience in both traditional and digital entertainment made him a valuable asset.
SnagFilms backed that promise up by announcing its recent acquisition of the digital rights to a list of indie movies that includes Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, We Live in Public, Super Size Me, Jesus Camp, Operation Homecoming, Manda Bala and Casino Jack and the United States of Money.
“While more great films are being made every year, it is increasingly difficult to get indies into theaters or on TV,” Semel said. “At Yahoo, we were one of the early proponents of the power of content showcased through new media. SnagFilms … can help shape this next phase, bringing great stories to broad new audiences.”
In a way, this development brings together some of the early giants in the mainstreaming of the Internet. Semel was head of Yahoo, and Leonsis was vice chairman and president.of AOL. Additionally, Steve Case is also an investor with a seat on SnagFilms’ board. He co-founded AOL, where he served as chair and CEO, subsequently becoming chairman of AOL Time Warner.
SnagFilms, which also is affiliated with news site IndieWire, features free, sponsor-supported, on demand viewing on its own site and a digital network of more than 110,000 affiliated sites and webpages worldwide, including partners such as Comcast’s XfinityTV.com, Hulu, the Starbucks Digital Network, IMDb and AOL/Huffington Post. It also offers selected titles via pay video on demand with Comcast and FiOS, as well as on iTunes, Hulu Plus, Amazon, YouTube Movies, and will soon be launching on DirecTV and digital streaming providers Vudu, Samsung Media Hub and Xbox Live.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! The NFL's supplemental draft is scheduled for Thursday, with six players declared eligible to be selected in a pomp-free procedure performed via email.
Draft entrants tend to be players who have lost academic eligibility, or have had legal or drug-related problems.
It has brought some significant names into the league over the years, including HOFer Cris Carter and three-time AFC Championship Game loser Bernie Kosar.
Denver surrendered its 1990 first-rounder to select Bobby Humphrey in the 1989 Supplemental Draft, and he would go on to start 12 regular season games and three postseason games as a rookie, including the SB 24 mauling by San Francisco.
But after a productive sophomore season, Humphrey held out for most of the 1991 season, and was dealt to Miami in May of 1992 in exchange for another out-of-favor former first-round running back, Sammie Smith.
The two would combine for just 125 rushing attempts with their new squads, and neither would dress for another NFL game.
Humphrey did play a significant role on a team that made it to a SB, so in that light, it's hard to call it a wasted pick. But 29 starts was surely not what the team had hoped to get out of the guy when they gave up the most valuable of draft assets, a first-round pick.
The NFL held a special supplemental draft in 1984 for USFL and CFL signees; that's the only other time the Broncos have made any supplemental picks, landing Freddie Gilbert, Rick Massie, and Reggie Smith.
Gilbert would spend three seasons with the Broncos, playing in SB 21 and SB 22, while Massie would dress for 13 games with Denver over the 1987 and 1988 seasons.
That special draft would produce three eventual HOFers, including Steve Young, Reggie White, and SB 32 champion Gary Zimmerman, and longtime stars Gary Clark and Mel Gray.
The high profile of the Aaron Hernandez case has provided the ACLU a platform to raise the issue of solitary confinement and its long-term effects on prisoners.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam says he has no plans to sell the team, no matter how much damage is done by the scandal involving his Pilot Flying J truck stop company.
In his Sunday column, Len Pasquarelli says to expect the Falcons to extend QB Matt Ryan this summer, he hears that federal authorities may jump into the Hernandez case at some point, and he reports that ex-Falcons John Abraham and Michael Turner are not considering retirement, despite remaining unsigned.
The scab ref who butchered Packers/Seahawks last year took part in a charity softball game hosted by Seattle corner Richard Sherman.
John Clayton thinks that if none of the eight franchise-tagged players are signed to long-term deals by next Monday's deadline, the structure of the tender system should be reconsidered. Also, he says that if Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas weren't disgruntled by having to play with the lefty who throws like he's a righty, they don't figure to have a problem sharing the ball with Wes Welker.
New Chiefs DE Austen Lane is Peter King's stand-in for MMQB this week, and he offers some fine advice to his fellow players on how to be successful in the NFL and in life.
Neil Hornsby takes a crack at the starting lineups for the Lions and Packers; the Shutdown Corner guys detail the Bills' offseason and their current and future cap situation; Jim Corbett studies the Bengals' offseason; Jason Fitzgerald names his best and worst contracts for the Titans.
Doug Farrar isn't sure that Robert Griffin III needs to do anything differently to carry his remarkable success into a second season.
In considering Mike McCoy's chances of success in San Diego, Chase Stuart examines the precedent of so-called "hot offensive coordinators" who landed head jobs.
Steve Palazzolo discusses PFF's pressure data for NFCN quarterbacks, including Jay Cutler.
Richard Dietsch continues his sports media roundtable with a conversation about the prospects for Ray Lewis as a studio analyst for ESPN.

Today’s team review is from Cathy, she blogs at http://betweenthelinesbookblog.com
Cathy has been reading Ghost Variations by Jessica Duchen
Ghost Variations is created from real people and true events which occurred during their lives; history dramatised into a rich and enchanting narrative.
Jelly d’Arányi, the central character, is a renowned Hungarian violinist, living in 1930s London with her sister, Adila and her family. Jelly has been the muse for several famous composers and is dedicated to her music, to the exclusion of her personal life, especially since she lost the man she loved at the Battle of the Somme during WWI. The sisters have lived in London since Jelly was sixteen and now as she approaches her fortieth birthday, Jelly is aware she is (unfairly) considered past her prime as a musician.
Adila’s close friend, Baron Erik Palmstierna, is involved in aspects of psychic research and spiritualism, and often play what they call ‘the glass game’, a form of the Ouija board. It was during one of these sessions, with Adila, Jelly (against her better judgement) and her assistant, Anna, that a message came through about a lost violin concerto by Robert Schumann.
This is an extraordinary and vividly written story when, as the author says, the truth is stranger than fiction. That the concerto should come to light in such a fashion is incredible. Jelly is finding the changes, within herself and the distant rumblings in Europe, difficult to come to terms with. How can there be another war, and so soon? Finding the concerto becomes Jelly’s quest and her lifeline.
Jelly is a very sympathetic and engaging character, not without flaws, but warm-hearted and genuine. Her kindness is shown in her behaviour toward Anna and the free cathedral concerts she performed to allow music and pleasure into the lives of those less fortunate. Jessica Duchen brings the characters to life and captures the atmosphere of the era perfectly. I like the realistic way Jelly’s life as a touring musician is portrayed and her intense enthusiasm for her craft despite the hardships.
The story is told mostly from Jelly’s perspective in the third person, with several segments from Ulli Schultheiss, a music publisher from Germany (one of the few fictional characters) who falls under Jelly’s spell during his stay in London. Persuaded to help in the liberation of the concerto, Ulli returns to Germany only to be met with a wall of bureaucracy, followed by interference by the Third Reich who wish to use the manuscript for their own purposes.
There are several subjects in this intriguing story which give pause for thought, not least the restrictions placed on women; the choice between career or family and the fact women were not allowed to attend certain of the better institutes of learning. The impending Nazi threat and the resulting fascism and growing prejudice against Jews is represented in all its horror. At its heart a touching, sensitively told story creating a wonderful read.
Ghost Variations: The Strangest Detective Story In Music by Jessica Duchen. Music, mystery, beautiful writing and a story that proves reality is weirder than fiction
The strangest detective story in the history of music – inspired by a true incident. A world spiralling towards war. A composer descending into madness. And a devoted woman struggling to keep her faith in art and love against all the odds. 1933. Dabbling in the fashionable “Glass Game” – a Ouija board – the famous Hungarian violinist Jelly d’Arányi, one-time muse to composers such as Bartók, Ravel and Elgar, encounters a startling dilemma. A message arrives ostensibly from the spirit of the composer Robert Schumann, begging her to find and perform his long-suppressed violin concerto. She tries to ignore it, wanting to concentrate instead on charity concerts. But against the background of the 1930s depression in London and the rise of the Nazis in Germany, a struggle ensues as the “spirit messengers” do not want her to forget. The concerto turns out to be real, embargoed by Schumann’s family for fear that it betrayed his mental disintegration: it was his last full-scale work, written just before he suffered a nervous breakdown after which he spent the rest of his life in a mental hospital. It shares a theme with his Geistervariationen (Ghost Variations) for piano, a melody he believed had been dictated to him by the spirits of composers beyond the grave. As rumours of its existence spread from London to Berlin, where the manuscript is held, Jelly embarks on an increasingly complex quest to find the concerto. When the Third Reich’s administration decides to unearth the work for reasons of its own, a race to perform it begins. Though aided and abetted by a team of larger-than-life personalities – including her sister Adila Fachiri, the pianist Myra Hess, and a young music publisher who falls in love with her – Jelly finds herself confronting forces that threaten her own state of mind. Saving the concerto comes to mean saving herself. In the ensuing psychodrama, the heroine, the concerto and the pre-war world stand on the brink, reaching together for one more chance of glory.
About the author
essica was born in London. She first tried to write a novel at the age of 12 and found much encouragement from a distinguished author and a literary agent. After studying at Cambridge, she worked as an editor in music publishing and magazines for ten years.
Her latest novel, Ghost Variations, is based on a true incident in the 1930s: the bizarre rediscovery of the long-suppressed Schumann Violin Concerto. “This is a hugely atmospheric and thought-provoking book featuring fascinating characters… It evokes a period pregnant with both promise and menace” (Music & Vision Daily).
The earlier novels focus on the tensions and cross-currents between family generations, including a painful exploration of the effects of anorexia (Rites of Spring) and the rearing of a child prodigy (Alicia’s Gift) to the long-term effects of displacement and cultural clashes (Hungarian Dances and Songs of Triumphant Love).
Jessica’s journalism has appeared in The Independent, The Guardian and The Sunday Times, plus numerous music magazines. She gives pre-concert talks at venues including the Wigmore Hall, the Southbank Centre and Symphony Hall Birmingham. Having created concert versions of Alicia’s Gift, Hungarian Dances and Ghost Variations, she often narrates their performances. Her play A Walk through the End of Time, introducing Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, has been performed at music festivals in the UK, France and Australia.
Jessica lives in London with her violinist husband and two cats. She enjoys long walks, cooking, and playing the piano when nobody can hear her. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/jessicawords.
A great review and a fabulous novel. Thanks, Cathy!

Greencastle school secretary takes her bow after 42 years
GREENCASTLE, Pa. — After 10 business managers and more than 700 school board meetings, Diane Ellis still loves her job.
So after 42 years as a secretary in the Greencastle-Antrim (Pa.) School District, she figured it was a good time to retire.
“I'm happy and I'm on the mountaintop,” Ellis said while sitting in her dream office space in the farmhouse of the Tayamentasachta Environmental Center. “When you're on the mountaintop, the only way to go is down, so now is the best time to close this chapter and go on to the next part of my journey.”
The school district always has been part of Ellis' life. She graduated from Greencastle-Antrim High School in 1974 and spent a year at Hagerstown Business College before the school district's business office needed a temporary employee.
She never left.
In addition to being the right arm for 10 business managers, Ellis spent 30 years as the recording secretary for school board meetings.
“Back in the day of the taxpayer association, the meetings would go to 1 o'clock in the morning,” Ellis said. “That was almost enough to make me quit, but not quite. You just never knew what fireworks were going to happen. Maybe it was just intriguing.
“I don't mind board meetings. It keeps me knowing what's going on a little bit. It keeps me in the loop. It's kind of like ironing with me. Once I get started, I'm OK. Once I get out to the board meeting, I'm OK and ready for it.”
Ellis will most miss those she deals with on the job.
“I'm a people person, so the people who have crossed my path, many are memorable,” she said. “It's even been a joy to talk to the people I've gotten to know with bond issues and investment firms. Those connections have been very pleasant.
“And it has evolved from people who are my co-workers in the business office, as well as teachers and administrators who have become friends to the tax-rebate people. That's who Greencastle is, and I love Greencastle.”
Even though Ellis lives in Williamsport with her husband, Russ, her connection to Greencastle and the school district will remain strong after her retirement. She has signed on to the the advisory committee for Tayamentasachta.
“I want to stay on that,” she said. “I sold tickets for the apple dumplings last year, and I had a ball.
“I want to stay involved. I might be here as a volunteer with my grandkids, Alexandra, Victoria and Aaron.”
She also wants to spend more time in town hanging out with her 95-year-old mother.
Ellis is the organist at Salem Church in Waynesboro, Pa. Another passion is cooking, which she shares by volunteering to prepare meals at the Hagerstown Rescue Mission.
“I have homeless that I need to cook for, and I do that very willingly,” she said.
Jolinda Wilson, the school district's chief financial officer, said it won't be easy to replace Ellis' institutional knowledge.
“To have someone who has the history has truly been amazing,” Wilson said.
“It's been a ride. It has been a joy,” Ellis said. “This is bittersweet for me. I still like what I do. But it comes time to go.”

You've heard about him on blogs, but have you really heard Andrew Bird? This week, Andy Langer focuses on this amazing singer-songwriter, who employs everything from violins to glockespiel on his brilliant record Armchair Apocrypha. Also, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price form up like Voltron on the new track, "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down," LCD Soundsystem's latest "North American Scum" is the best song your 99 cents can buy, and a look at Aesop Rock's new 45-minute workout set for Nike. Mary Weiss, the former frontwoman for The Shangri-La's (of "Leader of the Pack" fame) puts out her first record in forty years and melancholic rockers Low are out with their eighth record, which features the most depressing lyrical couplet of any album you'll hear all year: "All soldiers they're all gonna die/All babies they're all gonna die."

Hamelton Tweed 2
This yarn has been discontinued and replaced with a GOTS certified organic version which can be seen here.
This lovely chunky tweed yarn from BC Garn is perfect for snuggly garments and accessories. It is soft and bouncy and comes in beautifully saturated colours with great contrasting neps. We're so pleased with this yarn!
The yarn has a relaxed spin to it and is gorgeously soft. If you are making a garment for regular use, our experience is that the yarn does pill a little with wear so it may be worth investing in a wool comb to keep your project looking its absolute best.

From left to right, History Center CEO Andy Masich, Pittsburgh City Councilman Bill Peduto, “Undaunted” producer, writer, and director Dr. Dan Handley, and Dr. Tom Crouch, Senior Curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum who came here from Washington, D.C. for the event. (Photo coutesy Dr. Dan Handley).
While most visitors at the Allegheny Observatory look up when they enter the 100-year-old observatory in Riverview Park, filmmaker Dr. Dan Handley looked back in history for his new documentary film “Undaunted: The Forgotten Giants of the Allegheny Observatory,” starring the historic Northside institution.
“Undaunted” tells the story of the Allegheny Observatory and the contributions made by its original operators John Brashear and Samuel P. Langley, despite the many setbacks and challenges they faced.
“It’s really about shedding a positive light on Pittsburgh,” said Handley noting that most people, even in the Observatory Hill neighborhood, don’t realize what a “powerhouse of astronomy Pittsburgh has been for over 100 years.”
“There’s all this history that touched the world stage,” said Handley. “I’m surprised we don’t hear more about it.”
According to Handley, more than any commercial motive, showing Pittsburgh’s and the Allegheny Observatory’s contribution to astronomy is why he made the film.
Handley explained that Brashear created the optical apparatus that helped develop the Michelson–Morley experiment, which revolutionized physics and led the Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
Though the film focuses on astronomy, Handley noted that there was a “balance of human interest” in the film which also includes history and tales of human struggles.
Handley, who lives in Ross Township, would drive by the observatory almost daily, but despite his background in science had no knowledge of the building’s history.
He began work on the film in 2008 while taking a class at Pittsburgh Filmmakers and was encouraged by the film’s director of photography Mark Knobil, who directed documentaries for Discovery Chanel and other major stations. After years of research in Pittsburgh and at the Smithsonian Museums and National Archives, Handley finished the film this year.
Last night, Handley premiered his film to an audience of 400 at the Heinz History Center that included representatives from the Northside Leadership Conference, several universities, astronomers, historians and the senior curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum who came from Washington, D.C. for the event.
City Councilman Bill Peduto, who worked on the film as the executive producer, was also in attendance at last night’s event.
Handley received funding from Heinz History Center, The Buhl Foundation, Pittsburgh Filmmakers, The Richard King Mellon Foundation, The Pittsburgh Foundation, The University of Pittsburgh and other foundations in the area to make his film.
Handley said the film is being made available for local schools and they hope to plan more showings of the film. He said they are also in conversation with PBS to have the film aired nationally on the station.

Swim 3 - Oct 19th 2015 2015
I needed to get out and run after clearing up the house. The land asks nothing from me. I traverse it with my mind chasing other places, other situations. It doesn't need my attention, which when I pay it always repays me.
A goldfinch precedes me on the path.
A fire guts a library so the stairway becomes funnel of flame.
A child's t-shirt floats in softly curving shapes deep in soapy bath water.
A limpet fits itself slowly and tightly back into the fine circular indentation of its rock-place with a silent click.
The Sun’s huge curve touches the far horizon out to sea.
The land is made demanding by a strong wind from the sea. Wind constantly plucking and insisting, deafening with it’s constant voice. Like moving through London.

Good scenario isn't it: baby observes the world as an adult would with sarcastic quips and anecdotes. And the movie itself is also quite good. Although it has the neccessary light touch, it's also rather adulty. Films of this calibre wouldn't usually have quite so much innuendo and sex-talk in them. This doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the movie, but it certainly is surprising.
There's a good cast to back this up. Kirstie Alley is ideal as the sexy single mother. John Travolta repeats his character in Saturday Night Fever to a certain degree, which isn't a bad thing. Bruce Willis steals the show as the voice of the baby though.
The result is a pleasing and enjoyable little comedy so I recommend "Look Who's Talking". My IMDb rating: 6.7/10.

To create this art journal spread, I tore a magazine photo into strips and glued them to the pages. Then I used a black pen and a white pen to doodle a pattern across the page.
While I was creating the doodles, I planned to stop at this stage. But when I was finished, I took a close look at the design and decided it needed something more. The pattern across the page seemed too uniform. I wanted it to have more contrast.
So I filled in the white circles and added more lines to the white pattern. Although the difference is subtle, this version has more contrast and visual interest. I’m happy that I made the changes.

Not as some philosophical subject, but a a DH: Terry Pluto reports that, in the wake of Travis Hafner heading to New York, the Indians are still considering the 42 year-old Jim Thome for their DH/tater-mashing job.
Thome hit .252/.344/.442 with eight homers, 25 RBI and a .786 OPS in 186 plate appearances with Philly and Baltimore last year, but he also suffered from some back and neck injuries that he now claims are healed.
More interesting fodder from that article: Pluto reminds us that Manny Ramirez — who some Tribe fans would like to see back in Cleveland — will be paid $13 million by baseball teams this year. $11 million he’s still owed from the Dodgers and $2 million from the Red Sox who are paying him deferred money for 25 years going back to his last deal there.
Just a little factoid to keep in your back pocket to aggravate your anti-Manny friends at some point later this year.

A Woodbridge man is accused of forcing a woman into a trunk and attempting to flee with a 1-year-old child on Thursday, according to Prince William police.
Abubakar Sidikie Bundu, 27, of 12300 Antietam Road in Woodbridge, is charged with abduction, domestic assault & battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, police spokesperson Officer Renee Carr said.
Around 1:58 p.m. Thursday, police responded to the 3700 block of Greentree Lane in Dumfries after a 21-year-old woman was found inside of the trunk of a vehicle.
The woman had reportedly been in an argument with Bundu at the Antietam Road home when he allegedly struck and kicked her while she was holding a 1-year-old boy, causing both the woman and child to fall to the ground, Carr said.
The suspect took the victim and the child to the Greentree lane area, where he parked and forced the woman into the trunk before walking away with the baby, Carr said.
The victim was found a short time later and Bundu was located nearby and taken into custody without incident.
He is being held without bond and a court date is pending.


In order to understand the security level of an organization network, detection methods are important to tackle the probable risks of the attackers' malicious activities. Intrusion detection systems, as detection solutions of the defense in depth concept, are one of the main devices to record and analyze suspicious behaviors. Besides the benefits of these systems for security enhancement, they will bring some challenges and issues for security administrators. A large number of raw alerts generated by the intrusion detection systems clearly reflect the need for a novel proactive alert correlation framework to reduce redundant alerts, correlate security incidents, discover and model multi‐step attack scenarios, and track them. Several alert correlation frameworks have been proposed in the literature, but the majority of them address the alert correlation in the offline settings. In this paper, we propose a three‐phase alert correlation framework, which processes the generated alerts in real time, correlates the alerts with the aid of causal knowledge discovery to automatically extract causal relationships between alerts, constructs the attack scenarios using the Bayesian network concept, and predicts the next goal of the attacks using the creating attack prediction rules. Experimental results show that the scalable proposed framework is efficient enough in learning and detecting known and unknown multi‐step attack scenarios without using any predefined knowledge. The results also show that the proposed framework perfectly estimates complex attacks before they can damage the assets of the network. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“Whoa! It’s like Spotify but for academic articles.”@Phil_Robichaud


In a new paper, scientists have envisioned a new power source straight out of Star Trek. While nuclear fusion reactors, which produce energy in the same way as the sun, are still not a viable reality, researchers from Tel Aviv University and the University of Chicago are proposing quark fusion.
Quarks are super-tiny elementary particles that combine to form protons and neutrons. There are six kinds of quarks, including up and down quarks, which are found in protons and neutrons, and heavier charm quarks.
The way we can produce quarks is through particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, which can smash protons and neutrons to break them up into quarks.
What the researchers Marek Karliner and Jonathan Rosner, who wrote…

Dijon comeback shocks PSG
Two penalties helped underdogs Djion to condemn PSG to an early exit from the Coupe de la Ligue, as they came back from two goals down to seal a stunning 3-2 comeback.
The two teams had met in the league last weekend, with PSG running out 2-0 winners at the Parc des Princes.
A similar result looked to be on the cards, as goals from Mevlut Erding and Jean-Cristophe Bahebeck inside 21 minutes put the wealthy capital side 2-0 ahead and seemingly in full control, but a penalty from Younousse Sankhare got one back for Dijon just ten minutes later.
Within two minutes, Florin Berenguer-Bohrer had equalised and another spot-kick from Brice Jovial in the second half completed a stunning result and sent one of the favourites for the competition crashing out in the fourth round.
Lyon knocked out St Etienne with a 2-1 away win amid scenes of trouble in the stands. Jimmy Briand had given Lyon the lead five minutes before half-time but the when the visitors were awarded a penalty in the 73rd minute, the referee was forced to take the players off the pitch as flares were thrown onto the pitch.
When they eventually returned, Michel Bastos made it 2-0 from the spot, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rescuing a late consolation goal for the hosts.
Livio Nabab scored in the 116th minute to send Caen through at the expense of 10-man Auxerre with a 2-1 extra-time win. Nabab had got the opener in the 25th minute, but soon saw it cancelled out by Ben Sahar.
Auxerre were reduced to ten men with the 51st minute dismissal of Willy Boly, but hung on to send the game to extra time. With penalties looming, Nabab's second sent Caen through.
Penalties were needed to seperate Le Mans and Rennes after 120 goalless minutes, with Le Mans triumphing 4-1. Lorient were 2-1 away winners over the 10 men of Montpellier thanks to substitute Joel Campbell.
Innocent Emeghara had put Lorient ahead in the 14th minute, and Montpellier's problems grew with a 55th minute dismissal of Garry Bocaly. Olivier Giroud nevertheless equalised in the 65th minute, but there was a further twist as Campbell scored what proved to be the winner four minutes later.
A brace from Xavier Pentecote sent Nice through with a 2-1 win over Sochaux, with a late strike from Abdoul Camara not enough to get the visitors back into the game.
Lille comfortably saw off Sedan 3-1. Benoit Pedretti's 35th minute strike was soon followed by a Joe Cole goal, and Ireneusz Jelen put them in complete control in the 70th minute. Sedan got the consolation of an 80th minute penalty from Abdoulay Diaby.


Everton go to bed as league leaders on Saturday night after a strike from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison's penalty, given by VAR for handball, gave them a 2-1 win away to Crystal Palace in a game between two sides that had begun the season with two wins from their first two matches.
Ranking first in the event's preliminary heat in 2:10.25, Qin Haiyang from Shanghai didn't advance to the final as he failed to finish in the top eight in a series of physical tests - a new requirement for this year's championships.
"We accomplished our goal in the first stage. It is a good result to rank first. We will have a good rest to face the second stage," said Shanghai goalkeeper Chen Wei after the game. Enditem
"We don't know if the coach will take part in the camp but his infection won't affect the plans of the team. Moreover, the coach is able to do some things virtually," added the PZPN's spokesperson. Enditem
LONDON, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Leicester City went top of the Premier League on Sunday night after Jamie Vardy scored a hat-trick in his side's 5-2 win away to Manchester City to give them nine points from three games.
Ronald Koeman saw his reign as Barca coach get off to a flying start on Sunday when Ansu Fati led them to an easy 4-0 win at home to Villarreal, with all four goals coming before the break.
1 Fati ready to become new Barca hero
The AFC Futsal Championship, AFC Women's Futsal Championship, AFC U-20 Futsal Championship and AFC Beach Soccer Championship will also become AFC Asian Cups.
"A coach needs to convince players with his expertise and not by only being the boss," Baum said.
One player who is likely to miss out however, is striker Luka Jovic. The Serb was given a chance to show what he can do at the weekend, but produced another disappointing display (although he did provoke a red card for Betis defender Emerson). Everything points to Jovic being loaned out before the end of the season with Borja Mayoral remaining as backup to Karim Benzema.
"Alize is good at playing on clay court. She is resilient and flexible in tactics. You won't never beat her with ease." Enditem

SilcsBio Software Installation¶
Minimum hardware requirement¶
SilcsBio software requires relatively robust computational resources for the molecular dynamics (MD) components of the SILCS and SSFEP protocols. For example, computing SILCS FragMaps for a 35 kDa target protein takes 80-90 hours of walltime when run in parallel on ten compute nodes, each equipped with 8 3-GHz CPU cores. The software can take advantage of GPU acceleration: the addition of a single NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU to each node will reduce the walltime to 24-48 hours. In the case of SSFEP, walltime using these GPU-equipped nodes will be 3-4 hours.
SilcsBio software is designed to run the compute-intensive MD on a cluster using a cluster queue management system such as OpenPBS, Sun Grid Engine, or SLURM. With both SILCS and SSFEP, subsequent evaluation of relative ligand affinities takes seconds to minutes on a single CPU core, allowing for modifications to be rapidly evaluated for a large number of ligands to a given target.
For customers without ready access to an appropriate in-house computing cluster, SilcsBio offers three possible solutions. The first solution is the SilcsBio Workstation. The SilcsBio Workstation combines the SilcsBio server and GUI software with high-performance GPU-computing hardware in a quiet, sleek form factor for use in an office setting. The SilcsBio Workstation is a complete turn-key solution that is ready to plug in to a standard wall electrical socket. The second solution is for SilcsBio to perform computations as a service and supply data to the customer for subsequent in-house analysis. For this service, in the case of SILCS, SilcsBio requires only the structure of the target, and, in the case of SSFEP, only the structure of the protein-parent ligand complex. Depending on the choice of SSFEP or SILCS, no intellectual property disclosure to SilcsBio in the form of proposed chemical modifications to the parent ligand (SSFEP) or even the parent ligand itself (SILCS) is required. The third solution is for SilcsBio to assist customers with setting up their own virtual cluster using Amazon Web Services. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.org for additional information on these solutions.
Python 3 requirement¶
The SilcsBio server software requires a working Python 3 installation. We recommend using Miniconda (https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) for installing Python 3. Once Python 3 is installed, you will need to install some additional Python packages. To do so, run the following command:
pip install -r $SILCSBIODIR/utils/python/requirements.txt
Both SILCS and SSFEP molecular dynamics simulations require the GROMACS molecular dynamics software. We recommend GROMACS version 2021.4. GROMACS can be obtained at https://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/2021.4/download.html and must be installed in order to use the SilcsBio software package.
We strongly recommend building GROMACS with GPU acceleration enabled. Below is a sequence of commands for GROMACS v. 2021.4 installation with GPU acceleration:
cd <GROMACS source directory> mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=on \ -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=on \ -DGMX_GPU=CUDA \ -DGMXAPI=off \ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=off \ -DGMX_PREFER_STATIC_LIBS=on \ -DGMX_BUILD_SHARED_EXE=off \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<GROMACS install location> make make install
If your compute nodes do not have GPUs, use the following commands:
cd <GROMACS source directory> mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=on \ -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=on \ -DGMXAPI=off \ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=off \ -DGMX_PREFER_STATIC_LIBS=on \ -DGMX_BUILD_SHARED_EXE=off \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<GROMACS install location> make make install
Please refer to http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/current/install-guide/index.html for further details.
Installing the SilcsBio server software¶
The SilcsBio server software package is delivered as a zip-compressed file. Unzip and place the files to an accessible location. The files have the following directory structure
silcsbio.$VERSION/ data/ examples/ lib/ programs/ silcs/ silcs-hotspots/ silcs-mc/ silcs-memb/ silcs-pharm/ ssfep/ ssfep-memb/ templates/ utils/ VERSION
silcsbio.$VERSION/ folder contains software for running
SILCS and SSFEP simulations. The
ssfep*/ folders contain executable code, and the
contains templates for job handling and input scripts. Some template files
may need to be edited with information for your queuing system.
If you are a system administrator, place the top-level
folder where it can be accessed by other users, such as
If you are a single user, you may place the folder in your home directory.
For SilcsBio server software to work, the two shell environment variables
SILCSBIODIR need to be set. To do so, replace
<silcsbio> with the complete file paths for the
# bash export GMXDIR=<gromacs/bin> export SILCSBIODIR=<silcsbio>
Currently, the SilcsBio server software is compatible only with the Bash shell
You may insert the above environment variable settings in
Installing the SilcsBio Graphical User Interface¶
The SilcsBio Graphical User Interface (GUI) enables running SILCS and SSFEP simulations and analyzing results through a GUI instead of the command line. The SilcsBio GUI is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Please download and install the software on your local desktop or laptop computer.
In addition to providing standalone features such as FragMap visualization and ligand modification, the SilcsBio GUI can set up, launch, manage, and analyze compute-intensive SILCS and SSFEP simulations. To enable this functionality requires a simple configuration step to allow the GUI to communicate with your SilcsBio server software.
Please follow the Remote server setup process as described in Graphical User Interface Quickstart. Contact email@example.com if you need help with this process.

Posted by Jose Luis Gomez, Team Mentor and Student at Pomona College
At the start of November, before the weather turned too “cool” in sunny Southern California, the Magnolia HS Team dedicated a Saturday morning to fundraise for their global project: Las Tias.
From 10 AM to 3 PM, the team labored and focused on attracting customers to their car wash while making this event as centered on educating the public as much as possible. To do so, the team made fliers about their event and their project that they posted around their school, handed out to people at stores, and distributed at parking lots.
Las Tias (The Aunties) is based in Leon, Nicaragua and provides art, music and education programs to help 6-18 year old Nicaraguan kids (many of whom who live on the street) who are at risk of developing substance abuse problems or experiencing neglect or abuse.
The team professes to having lots of fun during this event and enjoying the work they put towards this fundraiser.

As we get ready to celebrate the end of 2008 and start of 2009, it's important to put down the champagne glasses for a moment and consider all of the big open-source stories that have come across over the past year. There have been a lot. In fact, we've even gone and chronicled some of the bigger stories for you already. If you haven't checked it out yet, do so. Like watching The Empire Strikes Back before A New Hope, you'll be lost if you read on much further. That's because we're now taking a look at what's in store for the open-source world in 2009.
We'll get to the specific predictions in a big, but here's the big picture: the open-source software world is on the up, up, up. We called this out in a news article awhile ago once the economy started taking a dive. Guess what? The economy's still taking a dive, and companies long and far are taking an increased interest in the open-source community. That's because open-source solutions can help them generate cost savings over expensive, proprietary software without a loss of business quality or functionality. And that translates into increased opportunities for open-source developers--everybody wins! Unless you're Microsoft and think the entire affair is rubbish . But enough of that... onto the predictions!CEOs and CTOs are slightly more loathe to pay for "services," instead preferring some kind of tangible value addition to the product: Proprietary features that run overtop open-source models.
More interesting still, companies would much prefer to pay someone else to develop add-ons than contribute to the open-source community with their own products.
Startups, by their very nature, need to get their platforms built on the cheap. But beyond that, they need a means for accelerating and growing to super-huge levels if their gimmick manages to catch. it's no small wonder that they turn to open-source solutions as the lynchpins of their businesses. Expect this to continue well into 2009, but expect it to cross-over into mainstream companies as well. Gartner noted that last year's open-source database management system growth exceeded both its previous year's numbers and the growth rate of the database management system market as a whole. In fact, open source database management system revenues are expected to exceed $1 billion by 2013. It's just one example of how open-source will continue its push into all facets of IT management--especially while the economy is hurting.
As open-source takes more traction in the enterprise, so will Linux gain a greater foothold in consumer markets. You've already seen this growth happen to netbooks. Expect Linux to gain further traction in the inexpensive netbook market while it simultaneously surges into the mobile space. After all, consumers want their products at the lowest price points they can find. If an open-source solution works just as well as a Microsoft proprietary product (Android, anybody?), yet costs far less, it makes sense that a manufacturer would consider the alternative.
"Lower cost, faster time to market, higher profit margins, better branding -- these are all things that are in favor of Linux and not in favor of Windows," said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, in an interview with Internetnews.com.
That said, it's going to require traditional software developers--gaming companies included--to take a long, hard look at Linux. For without proper software support, don't expect this open-source operating system to make much headway into mainstream notebooks. There's just too high of a hurdle for an average consumer to overcome, especially if a person wants to do more with a portable notebook than surf the internet or write documents.
What's The Cloud? It's more than an arbitrary concept, less than a tangible product. Cloud computing is the nebulous way by which users can access data stored "on the Internet" versus, say, a traditional desktop machine. For a case-in-point, consider Flickr. Instead of shuffling through the pictures you've taken on your own machine, you upload them to the Cloud platform. You then access these files from anywhere you want, and give any number of users the same ability to view your information. Have you uploaded your photos to a single Web host? No. You've uploaded them to Flickr's Cloud, spread across however many servers and architectures that all coalesce into a single point: Your user page.
So how does open source fit in? For a business to turn to Cloud as a means for extending its platforms on an inexpensive and scalable architecture, it has to give up a few things. Privacy, data security, reliability--once you turn over your operations to a Cloud provider, you lose the ability to control your data as if it was sitting on your own servers. For some businesses, that's a concern. For others, it's a legal liability that prevents the business from using Cloud platforms at all. The solution? Open-source software that a business can use to create its own Cloud platforms. These can either exist as independent entities or function alongside larger ventures like Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud.
With the Cloud market poised to grow to more than $95 billion over the next five years, representing 12 percent of all total software deployment, it's impossible to think that an open-source solution wouldn't start building the grassroots.

Data Source: Academic Citation Index (ACI)
As Taiwan's largest Citation Index, we currently have on record all Humanities, and Sociology journals that were published in Taiwan. The number of periodicals that are published on a regular basis total around 400 different types. If periodicals that were added to the collection but then halted are counted as well, the number of periodicals total over 500 types. Every year we announce the recorded periodicals' impact factor, etc. to the public, and allow scholars utilize our materials to carry out academic research for free.
Impact Factor: The statistic indicating the average number of times a journal's articles published in the past two years have been cited in the counting year.
Formula: (Number of cites in counting year to articles published in the span of two years ) ÷ (Number of articles published in the span of two years)
Example: The impact factor in 2010 (determined in 2011)
In 2009, Journal A published 15 articles, and these 15 articles were cited 20 times in 2010.
In 2008, Journal A published 16 articles, and these 16 articles were cited 30 times in 2010.
→ →2010's Impact Factor = (20+30) ÷ (15+16) = 1.61 =（20+30）÷（15+16）≒1.61
What is "Preprint"?
In order to provide readers the forefront academic information, after articles are accepted to publish in the journal, we publish them in network before they're printed. Those "on-line first articles" are called the "preprint articles". The preprint articles do not have volume No., page No., publication date, but can be identified by the DOI number. 「 http://dx.doi.org/ 」 Link to the latest version of the article.

In the Midwest, gravel is often used for driveways and roads. It can be expensive to hire a company to bring in the gravel because of the cost of the machine to do so, not to mention the cost of labor.
Therefore, it is much better to invest in a wheelbarrow and transport the gravel by hand. This is known as self-propelled spreading. Uneven areas can be leveled with a shovel, landscaping rake, or a horse-pulled sled leveler.
Lawns and driveways can be transformed with gravel. Without a tractor, motorists must transport the gravel themselves by using a wheelbarrow. Paving stones are also an option.
In this blog post, we will be looking at how to flatten out gravel in the absence of a tractor, the ideal gravel size for a driveway, and whether it is possible to lay new gravel on top of old.
Approximate area a ton of gravel covers
Rocks and gravel are sometimes added to soil to prevent erosion, boost water drainage in wet areas, or serve as a road base.
Crushed stone is a form of rock that is processed from larger rocks, such as sandstone, trap rock, or limestone, using a crushing machine. It’s inconsistent in shape and size and finds use in a variety of applications as a construction aggregate for roads, drainage systems, and cement.
On the other hand, gravel is an angular rock that has a smooth surface.
It is used to fill low spots, walkways, garden beds, flower pots, pond bottom, and patios.
Gravel comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and grades.
If you know how many tons gravel spread covers, you can determine how much it would cost to buy gravel, how many square feet it will cover, and how deep you would have to fill in the area with it.
Oftentimes, landscapers and landowners choose gravel by the cubic yard.
A cubic yard of gravel weighs about one ton. Tons of gravel are also known as a load or a truckload.
One ton of gravel covers about 100 square feet to a depth of 2 inches.
When it comes to finding out how much the cost will be, the question is best answered with another question. How big is your driveway?
A gravel calculator will show you how much gravel is needed to fill your driveway and estimate how much it will cost.
Landscapers can also help you choose the appropriate amount of gravel for your needs and the best type of gravel to use.
For instance, pea gravel is a good choice for landscaping, swimming pool decks, and driveways, whereas river stone is better for the decoration of rock gardens and water features.
How to spread gravel without a tractor
1. Shovels and asphalt lute
Oftentimes, you can rent gravel spreaders.
However, if you’re filling in a small area it might be more cost-efficient to purchase the equipment rather than renting it over and over again.
For smaller areas or lighter jobs, shovels and landscaping rakes are the best tools to use.
First, use shovels to spread the gravel over the surface of the required area. Then, use a blacktop lute or asphalt lute to level and smooth it out.
2. Drag a heavy pallet
Pushing a heavy pallet or a loaded one across the area is also a good way to spread the gravel.
This can be done by rolling the pallet back and forth a few times to flatten the area.
3. Pull a gravel sled leveler with a horse
Larger areas can be filled using equipment, such as a horse-pulled gravel sled leveler.
To do this, pour the gravel onto the space using a spade to flatten it out.
Once the area is flat, use the sled leveler tied to a horse to roll over the area to the desired thickness.
Best gravel size gravel for a driveway
When it comes to gravel for a driveway, size counts.
I’m sure you’ve heard that bigger is better, but when it comes to gravel size, you want to be as specific as possible.
While it may seem easier to use large chunks of gravel, the surface they create is more likely to have a few big bumps or depressions.
Less expensive large stones are also more likely to have bigger pieces of crushed stone or dirt mixed in.
The best size gravel for a driveway is graded gravel with a 1-inch diameter for the base layer and a mixture of fine rock dust and small gravel for the top layer.
For an impregnable, well-drained foundation that will last you longer, choose the #3 gravel.
You can also introduce the #57 substrate in the middle if you want to add more texture and drain more water.
Your gravel driveway will look like it has a smooth finish, even if you drive on it often, and the surface is less likely to wash away or suffer from erosion.
Cover old layer with fresh gravel
Cement has the tendency to absorb oil, grease, salt, and other chemicals when they come into contact.
Chucked or pushed down gravel that’s now mixed with these types of substances isn’t ideal for driving or walking on.
If you want the surface of your driveway to last as long as possible, it’s best to lay new gravel over old gravel that has already soaked up these materials.
Landscapers recommend pouring gravel that matches the existing gravel on the driveway.
New gravel will act as a buffer and prevent the old gravel from being pushed around by traffic.
