Well, we made it to the end of the school year.
The last two weeks have been exhausting. We've been living on whatever's available in the pantry (don't judge me) and wearing whatever happens to be clean in the laundry room. Which is the same 4 things for my youngest because I'm also behind on laundry, but still a control freak about what she wears. But not if it's the same thing over and over, apparently.
My son cleaned out his backpack and found a smashed paper sack lunch from January in the abyss, which sort of explains the random odor. He also pulled out a handful of his favorite pencils, one-inch stubs he's apparently been writing with since 2010. Gah.
Here's to weeks without alarm clocks or schedules, to sibling fights, reteaching my children the fine art of sleeping in, wet towels and sunblock in the eyes…
Welcome to Summer
I may never be Mom of the Year (see above), but I am above average at recycling old birthday balloons and a roll of crepe paper.
Sidenote: To all the teachers in our lives: thank you for making this year amazing!

Director Robert Kane Pappas' ORWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE is the consummate critical examination of the Fourth Estate, once the bastion of American democracy. Asking whether America has entered an Orwellian world of doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth, Pappas explores what the media doesn't like to talk about: itself.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jay Leno and the "Tonight" show is one of the few remaining successful programs that NBC has on its network. So why would its executives think about getting rid of him?
NBC has confirmed that it is building a new studio for Jimmy Fallon at its New York headquarters but refuses to comment on reports that Fallon is due to replace Leno on a New York-based "Tonight" show as early as next year.
With Leno already taking potshots at network executives regularly in his monologue, the network risks repeating the nightmare of 2010, when Conan O'Brien failed at "Tonight" and NBC brought Leno back.
"They seem to be making the same mistakes over and over again with a new regime," said Christine Becker, an associate professor at Notre Dame University and author of the News For TV Majors blog. "You kind of wonder what's in the water at NBC that is making them make that decision."
On its face, such a move would seem like a proactive strategy from NBC's new corporate owners at Comcast Corp., known for its decisive decision-making.
Leno, 62, and his longtime rival David Letterman, 65, are approaching the end of their long late-night reigns. Fallon, 38 and with his own late-night show getting critical acclaim, represents the next generation. So does Jimmy Kimmel, 45, at ABC, and that network made the strategic chess move in January to give him the same time slot as Leno and Letterman.
Leno's contract expires next year and so does Letterman's, so some corporate fear might be involved: Does NBC risk losing Fallon to another network that can offer an earlier time slot than the 12:35 a.m. one he currently occupies? There's also some concern that Kimmel will establish himself as the 11:35 p.m. favorite of a younger audience before Fallon can establish himself.
While all the corporate thinking is going on, Leno has continued to stay in the ratings lead.
That's no small feat at NBC, which has seen its prime-time lineup collapse to historic ratings lows this winter. Leno, "Saturday Night Live," and Brian Williams' "Nightly News" are the only reliable ratings leaders left at the network.
Leno has held strong against the ratings challenge posed by Kimmel. So far this year, the "Tonight" show is averaging 3.42 million viewers, Letterman has 3.03 million and Kimmel has 2.57 million, according to the Nielsen Co. Leno is also leading among the 18-to-49-year-old age group that NBC considers most important. Leno's and Letterman's viewership has gone down from last year; Kimmel's numbers aren't comparable because he now has an earlier time slot.
If NBC is looking for an immediate infusion of youthful energy from Fallon's audience, that may be optimistic.
While the average age of Leno's audience is 58.1, the oldest in late-night, Fallon's audience is less than five years younger at 53.3. Fallon also hasn't been gaining in popularity; his average audience has slipped from 1.7 million last year to 1.6 million the year before, according to Nielsen.
Younger audiences seem to be elsewhere at that hour, either online or watching cable. The median age of O'Brien's audience is 39.5 and Chelsea Handler's is 35.6. Both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have audiences with median ages of 42.
When O'Brien replaced Leno at "Tonight," the audience didn't follow. The "Tonight" show ratings dipped alarmingly, and NBC had to bring back Leno to stave off a revolt from its affiliates. There's no guarantee that Fallon will succeed where O'Brien failed.
There's also the specter of Ann Curry, which should be fresh in the minds of NBC's new corporate ownership.
When NBC News replaced Curry as co-host of the "Today" show last summer, viewers reacted angrily — fixing much of their anger at Matt Lauer. "Today" was running neck-and-neck with ABC's "Good Morning America" in the ratings at the time; now it regularly finishes second.
How Leno's fans would react to the idea of him leaving the "Tonight" show before he wants is anybody's guess. Leno, with a relentless run of jokes targeting the futility of NBC executives in recent weeks, doesn't seem particularly happy.

This trilogy was the first fantasy read that made me fall in love with fantasy novels. It is a masterpiece. At first Lyra seems to be a very young child, with just enemies around her. Only after she returns from the World of the Dead (or whatever it is, I read the book two years ago) can we understand that she is grown up. It was a great movie, filled with fantasy, action, friendship, love, and of course, fantasy. I loved the part where they moved from world to world. And how the Subtle Sword breaks. He thought of his mother and it didn't break. Finally he held it in front of his hand and thought of Lyra. Swish! And clank! It broke.
One part was confusing. In the end when Pan and Lyra talked about creating heaven, does the author mean that it was them who created heaven? Did this world exist before ours was created? Someone please tell me!!!

Iowa Ranks in Top 10 among States for Skin Cancer; Residents Urged to Take Protective Actions as Part of 'Don't Fry Day'
Release Date: 05/23/2013
Contact Information: Latosha Thomas, 202-564-9546 or 202-564-4355, firstname.lastname@example.com
Environmental News
(Washington, D.C., May 23, 2013) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), joined by the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is recognizing the Friday before Memorial Day as "Don't Fry Day", to encourage Iowans to take a few simple steps to protect their health and prevent skin cancer throughout the summer.
According to the CDC, Iowa is included among the states with the highest melanoma death rates. Other states with the highest number of cases include Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, Oregon, Utah, and West Virginia. Americans are encouraged to learn more about skin cancer in their states.
"While we're making progress toward restoring the Earth's ozone layer, Americans need to take steps now for extra protection from harmful UV rays and skin cancer," said Janet McCabe, deputy assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. "Americans can stay safe under the sun and enjoy the outdoors by taking simple steps such as using sunscreen and wearing UV-blocking sunglasses."
"If current trends continue, one in five Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetime, and many of these skin cancers could be prevented by reducing UV exposure from the sun and indoor tanning devices," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. "Of particular concern is the increase we are seeing in rates of melanoma, a potentially deadly form of skin cancer. In the United States, melanoma is one of the most common cancers among people ages 15 to 29 years."
"Spending time in the sun increases the risk of skin cancer. Everyone can get sunburned and suffer harmful effects of exposure to UV radiation from time spent outdoors," said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. "Consumers can protect themselves by choosing a sunscreen that is right for them, wearing protective clothing and limiting time in the sun."
To make it easier for people to choose products that effectively reduce the health risks of UV overexposure, the FDA has issued new labeling rules for sunscreen products. These include:
- Sunscreens proven to protect against both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays can be labeled "Broad Spectrum." Both UVB and UVA radiation contribute to the sun's damaging effects.
- Sunscreen products that meet the criteria for being called "Broad Spectrum" and have a Sunscreen Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher may state that they reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging when used as directed with other sun protection measures.
- Any product that is not "Broad Spectrum," or has an SPF below 15, must have a warning stating that the product has not been shown to help prevent skin cancer or early skin aging.
- New water resistance claims on the front label must indicate whether the sunscreen remains effective for 40 minutes or 80 minutes while swimming or sweating.
- Seek shade, not sun: Seek the shade when the sun's rays are strongest; avoid sunburns, intentional tanning, and use of tanning beds; use extra caution near reflective surfaces like water and sand.
- Wear protective clothing: Wear sun-protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
Nations across the globe have made steady progress toward restoring the Earth's protective ozone layer through the groundbreaking environmental treaty called the Montreal Protocol. Signed by 197 countries, including the U.S. government, the Protocol is successfully working to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Scientists predict that the ozone layer will recover later this century.

Scotland 34-10 Italy, Six Nations, Murrayfield
Graham Jenkins
February 9, 2013
Scotland's Matt Scott races away to score much to the delight of his team-mate Stuart Hogg © PA Photos
After what has seemed like years in the doldrums, Scotland are now an attacking force once again.
Four tries against an Italy side that even the talent-heavy French struggled to break down took their tally to six and so they already have already eclipsed the four that they managed in the whole of last year's Six Nations.
The fact that those tries came from four different backs also suggested that a part of the Scottish game so long lacking vision and precision may at last possess the kind of cutting edge that will worry even the most regimented of defences.
They also showed that they are quick learners with a powerful display that not only earned them an impressive victory but promised so much more. Bullied by England at Twickenham last weekend they raised the physicality level to silence an Italian side renowned for their refusal to take a step backwards.
Italy were the side expected to be fuelled by belief and brimming with confidence but instead it was the Scots who attacked this contest with renewed vigour and crowd-pleasing endeavour.
Controlled aggression was the order of the day and a fired-up Scotland pack ensured their rivals did not have the time and space that France afforded them in Rome. They attacked the breakdown with a hunger that belied their recent run of results and crucially maintained that effort throughout with a gutsy second half showing shackling an Italian side intent on retaining at least some of the priceless momentum they earned on the opening weekend with victory over France.
Scotland interim coach Scott Johnson may not be a huge fan of statistics - recently comparing them to a bikini as they "show a lot but not the whole thing" - but even he will have to acknowledge the efforts of some of his players with tight-head prop Euan Murray leading the way with a momentum-sapping 15 tackles. But he was not the only warrior with flanker Rob Harley, in only his first start for his country, arguably a little hard done by not to win the Man of the Match honour having been a significantly-sized thorn in the Italians' side all afternoon.
The grunt they provided laid the platform for the Scotland back division to click through the gears and score four tries against Tier 1 opposition for the first time since they grabbed five against Ireland in a Rugby World Cup warm-up clash in 2007. They showed glimpses of what they could do against the All Blacks in the autumn and when England released their vice-like grip on last weekend's game - and there was more evidence of a bright future with scrum-half Greig Laidlaw controlling proceedings. But fullback Stuart Hogg was the pick of the bunch having delivered another eye-catching display to cement his status as one of the brightest talents in the game. A length-of-the-field run having picked off a loose pass by Italy fly-half Luciano Orquera showcased his game-breaking pace that may well carry him all the way onto the British & Irish Lions' plane to Australia later this year.
What could be a season-defining score from Hogg came as a result of a rare moment of flair from Orquera who was a shadow of the player who tormented France last time out. His form deserted him under the immense pressure exerted by the Scots and with it went Italy's chances of recording three successive Six Nations victories for the first time ever having accounted for the Scots in the final round of last year's championship.
The Italians grew increasingly frustrated at Scotland's efforts to control the contest but to their credit maintained their discipline and continued to hammer away. However, without an in-form playmaker to provide a moment of magic and with the Scotland defence offering little change, they struggled to create an opening. A lack of variation also proved costly and even the usually faultless Sergio Parisse struggled to impose himself under the Scottish onslaught.
In the end they were brought crashing down to earth and left to reflect on a record Six Nations defeat to the Scots. Consistency is the key to long-term success and is proving elusive for the Italians with the severity of this defeat undoing much of the good work they have done of late - most notably at the Stadio Olimpico last weekend. And as long as they continue to failure in their attempts to back up an heroic performance with another showing of similar quality they will remain an also-ran in the Six Nations and on the global stage as a whole.

An intrepid modder by the name of Schmidtn decided to build himself a remote control that, when it detected the foul odour of flatulence, would change the TV to a random channel. How fiendishly brilliant.
Here's his explanation:
My Pops really enjoys two things; 1) channel surfing and 2) farting. So one day I was over at Hackaday and read about a guy who used his Arduino to turn a TV on and off with one of those brainwave reading headsets. Then later on that same day I was here at Instructables and a fellow had made an office chair that twitters every time he farted. So, I got to thinking and decided to mash those two hacks into one remote that changes the TV to a random channel every time he tutes!
Plus, if you throw it in a plastic enclosure and hide it between the couch cushions; you've got a purdy dang good prank!
That's all well and good until he figures it out, decides he wants to change the channel, forces it a little bit and messes his pants. Who will be laughing then?? [Instructables via Boing Boing]

With recent news that even Paris has one, food trucks are certainly in vogue these days. In the U.S., they're now spreading from the hot scenes in Los Angeles and New York to smaller cities, like Milwaukee and Madison. Even school systems are jumping on the food truck bandwagon.
Southern food historian and writer John T. Edge set off on a road trip to discover what mobile chefs were cooking up and came back with The Truck Food Cookbook -- part recipe collection, part travelogue and part social analysis of the food truck frenzy.
I caught up with him at a taco truck in Birmingham, Ala., where we sampled the tostado de ceviche at Taqueria Guzman. The truck is parked at a Texaco gas station, just across the street from Steel City Bolt and Screw.
Edge is director of the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi and tends to view food through a cultural prism. He admires the composition of the tostado. "The bracketing of the avocado slices, the chop of the cilantro on top. It's not low-rent food," he says. "It's artisanal food ... on a foam plate."
But at $2 a taco, it is artisanal food — fast and within reach for just about anyone in Birmingham. Secretaries, hospital workers and Hispanic construction workers line up at Guzman's truck.
"It's a really democratic portrait of America," says Edge. "And in the same way that lunch counters were this great democratic space in years past, the democratic space where people of all walks of life are eating at trucks now."
His book includes recipes for Kogi tacos from the famous Los Angeles truck of the same name. There are fried Brussels sprouts from Austin, Ethiopian lentils from Madison, and a quirky Hawaiian treat from Seattle called Spam Musubi, which Edge describes as "a little lozenge of vinegared rice, with a slab of pan-fried soy-sauce doused Spam on top, wrapped with a piece of nori."
It's one thing for aspiring chefs to peddle their plates on the street, but what's the appeal of this cookbook for those of us just trying to get dinner on the table between homework and the soccer fields?
Edge says it's a natural fit when you consider that truck food cooks are working in really small spaces, with a limited number of ingredients, and with little time. "Sounds like a home cook," he says.
Here are a couple of recipes from The Truck Food Cookbook that might make family dinner a little more fun.
Grilled Cheese Mac And Cheese Sandwiches
These sandwiches, inspired by The Grilled Cheese Truck, are all about texture. But they're about goofball creativity, too — about adding cheese to cheese in an act of righteous excess. Optional additional fillings served at The Grilled Cheese Truck include caramelized onions and pulled pork.
Makes 2 sandwiches
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 slices white bread or Texas toast (see note), toasted
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup macaroni and cheese (use your favorite recipe or, God help you, crack open a box)
1. Heat the oil on a griddle or in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
2. Top all the slices of Texas toast with a slice of cheese. Spoon 1/2 cup macaroni and cheese onto 2 of the slices of bread and top each with one of the remaining 2 slices, cheese side down. Place the sandwiches on the griddle and let cook until the bread is nicely toasted, 2 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook on the second side until the macaroni and cheese is warmed through and the Texas toast is golden, 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat if the toast is browning too quickly. To serve, cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal.
Note: Texas toast is just white bread cut in double-thick slices. It's great for toasting.
Spam Musubi
Travel in Hawaii and you'll notice these tiles of rice and Spam, bound in wraps of nori, displayed in hot boxes on the counters at neighborhood convenience stores. Spam is a vestige of World War II, when canned meat rations fed soldiers stationed on the islands. In this musubi recipe, inspired by the Marination Mobile, those pink slabs of pork get a quick fry in a pan and a douse of soy.
Makes 8 musubi
1 can (12 ounces) Spam
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 sheets of nori, cut in 2-inch wide strips (see notes)
4 cups cooked sushi rice
Furikake (see notes)
1. Remove the Spam from the can and set the can aside. Cut the Spam horizontally into 8 equal slices. Cook the slices in batches in a skillet over medium-high heat until a crisp crust forms on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked Spam to paper towels to drain.
2. Combine the soy sauce, mirin and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and let come to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the soy sauce mixture simmers, then add the drained Spam slices, turning them to coat completely. When the soy sauce mixture has thickened, use a slotted spoon to remove the Spam from the pan. Discard the soy sauce mixture.
3. Remove both the top and bottom from the can of Spam. Place a piece of nori on a work surface. Position the Spam can upright on one end of the nori. Using the can as a mold, fill it with some of the rice, pressing down on the rice with your fingers until it is about 1/2 inch thick (it helps to moisten your fingers with water when doing this). Sprinkle furikake (see notes) over the rice, seasoning it to taste, and top the rice with a slice of Spam followed by another layer of rice. Press hard on the rice to compress it. Carefully remove the can. Wrap the nori around the rice and Spam, moistening the ends with a bit of water to help seal the nori. Repeat with the remaining nori, rice and Spam, then revel in the porky goodness that is Spam.
Notes: The Sushi Chef brand of nori is widely available; it comes in .45-ounce packages.
Furikake is a Japanese condiment made from a combination of flavorings including ground dried fish, sesame seeds and seaweed. It can be found at Asian groceries or ordered online.
With recent news that even Paris has one, food trucks are officially in vogue. Here in the U.S., they're spreading from the hot scenes in Los Angeles and New York to smaller cities. Food writer and critic John T. Edge set off on a road trip to discover what mobile chefs were cooking up and he came back with "The Truck Food Cookbook."
NPR's Debbie Elliott caught up with him, where else? At a taco truck in Birmingham, Alabama.
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, BYLINE: We park at a Texaco gas station just across the street from the Steel City Bolt and Screw Factory. John T. Edge quickly spots the special, handwritten on a paper plate.
JOHN T. EDGE: They've got ceviche, which is great to find in a parking lot in Birmingham, Alabama.
ELLIOTT: This is Taqueria Guzman, one of the first food trucks to show up in Birmingham.
EDGE: I think I want a Tostado de Ceviche. How about you?
ELLIOTT: Let's get one of those and let's get - you tell me.
EDGE: They've got brain tacos.
ELLIOTT: I'll pass on that. We settle on Tacos el Pastor, the tostada and two ice cold bottles of Mexican coke. Owner Jaime Guzman is taking orders inside the truck.
How long have you been doing this?
JAIME GUZMAN: Like, the business? Since I was a little kid. It's been in my family for a long time already from California to Atlanta, from Atlanta to Birmingham.
ELLIOTT: Truck food has had a similar evolution, Edge says, starting in L.A. and New York, then booming in places like Portland and Austin. Now, it's a hit in a third tier of cities, like Milwaukee and Birmingham. When the food comes, Edge is impressed.
EDGE: Look how beautifully this is composed. I mean, the bracketing of the avocado slices, the chop of the cilantro on top. It's not low rent food. It's artisanal food in this place on a foam plate, you know.
CORNISH: But, at $2 a taco, this artisanal food is within reach for just about anyone in Birmingham. Secretaries, hospital workers and Hispanic construction workers line up at Guzman's truck. Bail bondsman Terry Sylvester is waiting for her regular lunch.
TERRY SYLVESTER: (Unintelligible) burrito. That's only thing I ever order. He knows exactly what I want. That's how much I come.
ELLIOTT: TV technician Thomas Lauer comes every Friday. He says it's more fun than a sit-down restaurant.
THOMAS LAUER: You meet interesting people while you're standing in line. The whole experience of standing there with everyone else waiting on your food to come up and you kind of get to know the people around the truck and that sort of thing, so the community is a big part of it.
EDGE: It's a really democratic portrait of America.
ELLIOTT: John T. Edge tends to view food through a cultural prism. He's the director of the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi and a frequent contributor to newspapers, magazines and the Food Network. His "Truck Food Cookbook" is part recipe collection, part travelogue and part cultural analysis of the food truck frenzy. There are recipes for fried Brussels sprouts from Austin, Ethiopian lentils from Madison and a quirky Hawaiian treat, Spam Musubi.
EDGE: A little lozenge of vinegar and rice with a slab of pan-fried soy sauce doused Spam on top wrapped with a piece of nori. This is from Marination Mobile in Seattle.
ELLIOTT: It's one thing for aspiring chefs to peddle their plates on the street, but what's the appeal for those of us just trying to get dinner on the table between homework and the soccer field? Edge says it's a natural fit.
EDGE: These truck food cooks are working in really small spaces. They're working with a limited number of ingredients in a limited amount of time, which sounds like a home cook, like, you know, I don't want to go back out to the grocery store. What's in my pantry?
ELLIOTT: A recipe he's tried at home is the mac and cheese sandwich inspired by the Grilled Cheese Truck in Venice, California. It's macaroni layered between two slices of cheese and white bread buttered and griddled.
EDGE: When you bite in, you get this textural symphony. You bite in and you get the crisp toast on the outside, the gooey cheese, then the chewy pasta. I mean, it's goofball food, but my son, age 11 - he's a happy goofball while eating it.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: John T., you're up.
ELLIOTT: Now, we're at the Shindigs truck in Birmingham. Co-owner and chef Chad Scofield says the truck moves around to different parts of the city and updates its menu daily.
CHAD SCHOFIELD: Today, we have a Willis burger, which is the grass-fed beef with a creamy gorgonzola, bacon, blueberry (unintelligible).
ELLIOTT: All served on a locally made sweet potato bun. Bob Carlton orders one.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Would you like a side salad or the fries - the truffle fries with your burger?
BOB CARLTON: Yeah. The truffle fries would be...
ELLIOTT: Carlton is the food writer for the Birmingham News and has been watching the food truck scene here gain in popularity.
CARLTON: I just think the idea of getting something fast and, you know, getting it relatively inexpensively and, you know, being able to walk outside your office and there's the truck there. And also I think there's a huge cool factor. It's like, you know, we're a real city now. We have food trucks, you know.
ELLIOTT: Cookbook author John T. Edge says foodies can now test that cool factor at home, no wheels required. Debbie Elliott, NPR News.

A Wecome to all. Please read ,,,
Well here we are,, first of all a big thank you to Matt and the team here at Mycockpit.org for opening this sub-forum.
Here I plan to toss around ideas, give help, get help and find out what people actually want out of software that will make their sim more enjoyable to use. All my projects are not aimed at replacing top of the line stuff,, but my software is free and any hardware is cheap,, so its all easy to do, easy to use, and ideal for some-one starting out with a basic sim to see what its like to have an interactive panel in front of them.
There is something "special" about building your own stuff. Its fun. !
This sub-forum is not just for my projects as it is open to any-one else's input about the Arduino cards that is Flight sim related ,,, so,,, if you have your own stuff, have an idea, or using an Arduino card and its flight sim related,,, feel free to post away. Make yourself at home.
I know activity will be slow to start with, but people will catch on and then ?? well, then we will see.
Have fun,, and welcome,,, Jim NZ
Update ,,
We will not tolerate posts "pushing" other breeds of cards.
We will not tolerate postings pushing payware software (even if it's free "for now")
Posts that fall into the above category will be deleted.
In simple terms ,,,
Microsoft Flight Simulator only.
Freeware only.(and not a "hook" to payware)
True Arduino stuff only. (Not any of the so-called "compatibles")
Any code postings need to be in real "true" Arduino code.
This sub-forum is for "Arduino Cards and Link2fs" and is in the FREEWARE section of Mycockpit.org.
We're a friendly bunch and we plan to keep it that way.
Thanks ,, Jim NZ (Moderator)

The Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education (ESPE) provides preparation through academic programs at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. In addition, the department offers an array of physical activity courses designed to meet the Physical Education requirement in the University's General Education Program. Our theory, technology, research, adult fitness, exercise science, athletic training, coaching, sports management and physical education courses are designed to meet the needs of the educational and corporate organizations in New Jersey. Undergraduate students are educated in our nationally recognized Physical Education and Health certification program for grades K-12, in our degree-granting CAATE certified Athletic Training Education program, and our innovative program in Adult Fitness that features internships with the major sports industries in the metropolitan NY area.
The graduate program in Exercise Science and Physical Education provides students the opportunity to pursue advanced study in the general field of physical education, and to develop competency in an area of concentration. Concentrations are offered in Teaching and Supervision of Physical Education, Coaching and Sports Administration, and Exercise Sciences. The program is designed to develop and enhance competencies necessary for teaching in school programs, coaching of athletics, conducting individualized exercise programs, administration of physical education and/or athletics, and administration of specialized exercise programs in a non-school setting.
ESPE offers many opportunities for both students majoring in these diverse areas of study as well as students generally interested in our unique professions. Although the career goals of majors are varied, there are certain common threads. Students tend to be people-oriented, concerned with lifelong activity, and interested in general fitness, wellness and business concepts. These characteristics apply to students preparing for traditional careers as teachers, clinicians, administrators and managers.

There are a lot of food blogs out there, but every so often you will find a particularly good fit. Such is my relationship with The Tiffin Box, a blog by Edmonton Indian food aficionado, cooking instructor Michelle Peters-Jones.
The blog features original recipes inspired by the author's Indian heritage. Its photographs are inspiring and the recipes are relatively easy to recreate.
I also just plain love the name of the blog. A tiffin box is an Indian lunch box, says Peters-Jones, usually made up of three insulated layers stuffed with different items, from dal to rotis to rice. She remembers the tiffin box as a kind of community table, the source of chatter and sharing. That's also her goal for the website.
"I want to make food accessible," says the mother of five-year-old daughter Aditi. "I like to keep the recipes authentic, but I want the ingredients to be found in Edmonton."
Peters-Jones says people think Indian food is complicated, because so many different spices and spice combinations are required. But it's possible to simplify.
"The best investment you can make if you are making Indian food is a spice grinder, and they are not expensive," she says.
She also recommends a couple of go-to books, including How to Cook Indian by Sanjeev Kapoor and The Joy of Vegetarian Cooking by Jasleen Dhamija.
Peters-Jones came to Edmonton from Britain three years ago with her husband, Kevin Jones, an academic at the University of Alberta.
In Britain, she had won a competition to be a contestant on a popular British TV program called Master Chef, and had a lot of requests for her recipes after the show aired. Someone suggested she take up food blogging.
At the same time, Peters-Jones began to connect with Edmonton food culture through Twitter. Soon, she was sharing her food ideas with others. It was the tiffin box, all over again.
Now she teaches cooking classes with local chef Kathryn Joel of Get Cooking, and posts stories and recipes to her blog four to six times a month.
Indian Spiced Cauliflower
Serves 4 as a side dish
1 tbsp (15 mL) unscented oil, such as canola
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 tsp (5 mL) whole cumin seeds
1 tomato, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 ½ tsp (7 mL) Madras curry powder
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
1 half head of cauliflower, broken into florets
1/4 cup (50 mL) hot water
In a large pan, heat the oil.
On medium to high heat, saute the onion and the whole cumin seeds, until the onion is soft and just turning brown around the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the diced tomato, garlic, Madras curry powder and salt, and stir and fry together for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the tomato is very squishy and the mixture is beginning to dry out.
Add the cauliflower to this onion-tomato mixture, and stir to coat the florets well, around 1 to 2 minutes. Add the hot water, stir, then cover the pan, and let the cauliflower cook for about 5 to 8 minutes in the steam.
The time depends on how soft you like your vegetables.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, take off the heat, stir again, and serve hot with rice, roti or naan and a lime or mango pickle.
Chicken Vindaloo
(Vindalho de Galinha)
To learn more about this dish, visit The Tiffin Box, where Michelle Peters-Jones talks about its history. Serves 4.
2 lbs (1 kg, about 6) chicken thighs, skinned, trimmed and either left whole, or cut into two pieces each (depending on size)
Spice Mix
6 long mild red chilies
1/2 inch (1 cm) cinnamon stick
1 tsp (5 mL) whole cumin seeds
1/2 tsp (2 mL) whole
1/8 tsp (1/2 mL) whole fenugreek seeds
1 dry bay leaf
3 ½ tbsp (50 mL) red wine vinegar or plain white vinegar
4 garlic cloves, crushed thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
1 tbsp (15 mL) mild paprika
1/2 tsp (2 mL) turmeric
1/2 tsp (2 mL) hot chili powder (optional, use only if you like your curries really hot)
1 ½ tsp (7 mL) salt, or to taste
Rest of the dish
1 tbsp (15 mL) unscented oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1/2 tbsp (7 mL) ghee (optional, if not using, increase oil to 2 tbsp/25 mL)
1 onion diced very fine
1 inch (2 cm) stick of cinnamon or cassia bark
2 or 3 whole cloves
2 or 3 pods green cardamom, left whole thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp (5 mL) sugar fresh cilantro, to garnish

Post subject: Boxpup4.1.2
Looks great and not just with the for such a small size distinction
I have downloaded the Boxup 4.1.2 to CD and am using it in my newish laptop but have tried on my home PC and it does not seem to want to run (doesnt load and goes to kernal panic and fails to syncronise kernals).
I have run Puppy 4.1.2 on this machine but only the retro version
Is there a retro version of Boxpup or can someone tell me how to use on the older machine
By the way this is a Pentium 3 1000 with 750 M RAM
Many thanks
Great Pup

I have been using Boxpup for a couple of weeks and think it is great. Think this live CD will see me through to Opera 10 being released.
Many Thanks for a great pup.

Might as well run Opera 10alpha - it is excellent and seems to be extremely stable and fully featured for normal use. Shame that we have to suffer without it in the standard versions of Puppy/Woof!

Got Wifi working on my laptop in Boxpup and in Windows (couple chats with Verizon DSL Support.)
Have the battery percentage showing at the bottom of the screen in Conky so that when I'm surfing the web, I can look down and see how much I have left. I still get caught off guard sometimes, though, and had the notebook shut down on me. Are there any programs to give a low battery warning and shutdown like Windows does?
Also, with the battery percentage and time at the bottom of Conky, the CPU meter squeezes down. Any way to get it bigger besides removing its roommates?
There are programs in Boxpup that I don't use and are taking up space. Not much space, mind, but still. I prefer Geany to Leafpad, and some video files won't play properly in Xine, so I mainly use VLC as my media player. I saw somewhere that Pup-B-Gone won't work in Openbox. Any other way to trim the programs?
Back to Conky, and speaking of VLC, I've seen where people have had Conky display the currently playing track (not in VLC yet though, I don't believe) and the weather. Anyone know how to do this?
One of the reasons I do with my laptop is to use it with my camera (a Canon Powershot S3IS.) I've tried downloading the programs that come with the standard Puppy for use with digital cameras, but they seem to work only once, and then crash when you try to use them again. And my camera won't just show up as a portable drive when I hook it up like I've heard of some cameras doing. Anyone have any suggestions for this, and any other suggested photo organization programs. I don't do much editing, but I have the GIMP for what I would do.
Other than that, enjoying Puppy and Boxpup. Thanks again to Grey, Barry, and all others involved.

Post subject: BoxPup fails full hd install
Subject description: Missing zdrv_*.sfs
Not really a noob. Had a problem installing BoxPup 4.1.2 as full hd installation. The universal installer exits prematurely. Here are teh last few lines of output from the universal installer:
Copying initrd.gz...
Copying .sfs files...
cp: cannot stat `/mnt/sr0/zdrv_*.sfs': No such file or directory
Finished, press ENTER to continue
I went looking for the file. Here's the listing of the install CD
total 93838
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 2048 2008-12-17 21:04 boot.cat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1087 2008-12-17 20:59 boot.msg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1290622 2008-12-17 20:59 initrd.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12241 2008-12-17 20:59 isolinux.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123 2008-12-17 20:59 isolinux.cfg
-rwx------ 1 root root 93155328 2008-12-17 21:04 pup_412.sfs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1627180 2008-12-17 20:59 vmlinuz
My guess is that there should be a zdrv_412.sfs listed here, but the live cd runs just fine. I went to ibiblio.org to check for the file and none was available in the sfs files directory.

Don't know if this is just Boxpup or Puppy or what, but...
When I have my laptop in my room, I plug the sound into my stereo so I don't have to deal with the crappy laptop speakers. But if I have it hooked up to the stereo and then unhook it, I have no sound. If I hook it back up, the sound comes through again. Anyone?
UPDATE: Nevermind, it's a problem with my laptop. Did it in Windows, too. Still, anyone have any suggestions?

I was able to do a workaround.
I copied zdrv_400.sfs from an old puppy 4.0 iso and renamed it zdrv_412.sfs. Then I remastered the live cd. I was then able to do a full hd installaiton.
I am willing to upload the iso image so others can use it.

Ok, I really like the look of Boxpup, but...
I'm wontering what the benefits of Open Box are. I can delete the task bar from almost any of the other Wm's and it will look like Open Box. what gives? just for kicks, I did just that in wNOP and added Cairo Dock and used the task bar minus the menu button for displaying open programs and it looked great, and had Compiz running, and was as easy to use as Xfce, with Thunar, and a relatively similar size as the regular NOP releases. so Why Open Box?
this isn't a complaint, as I love it's super clean interface, just wondering as a newbie if I'm missing something.

How does one remve the analog clock from the desktop? (Answer! To remove one needs to edit .xinitrc and comment out the line 125 that has xonclock)
How does one move the calendar from out of the tree branches? (For completeness, Gray told me to where to look. Answer! One needs to edit /etc/conky/rc_cal lines 56 and 57 to move the calendar. Line 56 has gap_x varialble, increasing the value moves the calendar to the left. Line 57 has gap_y varialble, increasing the value moves the calendar down towards the bottom. I settled with gap_y 520.)
1st thing. With the clock. this .xinitrc file... where is it? Ive tried to find it but I cant. For the calander you've kindly given us a directory. Can you give me one for the clock. And while im at it. You explain how to move the calander around the desktop, is there a way to remove it all together?
[UPDATE: I just changed the gap_y to something large enough to no longer show on my screen. While this makes it non visable, its still running. Anyway to turn it off?] [I did find a xinitrc file in /etc/xdg/xfce4/ But... there is nothing about xonclock anywhere in it. Is there somewhere else I need to look?]
2nd thing. I love conky, but i've seen other puppy releases with it looking something like this: http://www.lhpup.org/gallery/albums/userpics/Opera_Amarok_GKrellM.jpg
How can we go about modifing Conky? I did a search online but all i found was a site with some ubuntu scripts. I just prefer a taller more narrow conky.
[UPDATE: I found some conky scripts on another site, and I have a few I want to try out, but i cant seem to get them to work. I tried just replacing the files i have with the new ones, but that didnt seem to work; any advice?]
Any help would be appreciated.
Ive tried to use other puplets but this one just keeps bringing me back. Its got everythind I need. Thanks!

well, I was playing with Boxpup again and found the perfect wallpaper.
can the color of the tint bar be changed to a nice light sage green or something?
and no one ever answered my question, is there an advantage to Open Box over some of the others? I have a small computer that I haven't played with yet, and am wondering which Puplet to use. anyway here's the new screenshot (actually I'm using the earlier version of Boxpup)

If you asked us which two athletes would be most likely to team up and flood the internet with photos of themselves shirtless and partying during a night out, our answer would be simple: Johnny Manziel and Rob Gronkowski. And yet, here we are, staring at a photo of Manziel and Gronk that features no bare pectorals and no brews being crushed. The world seems more complicated than it did yesterday.

Ok, so, I haven't come up with any compelling plots or stories for Valkise since taking over for him, and I'm still racking my brains for stuff to do with the Naga and Baron. I also feel, in retrospect, that taking Valkise and then essentially tossing out all of LMB's established personality and mythos stuff for him might have been inappropriate. Whatever the case, does anyone want him? He's officially up for grabs.
(This means that Chuck should disregard the RP stuff relating to Valkise and Ferran, most likely. Also, Ashley and I had plans, but they never went IC. Sorry, Ash. :( )

Day Four of the 2011 Track Worlds saw four world titles awarded, with three going to Australia and one to host Netherlands - their first. Shane Perkins took the Men's Keirin title, Anna Meares the Women's Sprint and unheralded Michael Freiberg the Men's Omnium, while Marianne Vos gave the Dutch something to cheer about wit a last lap breakaway to win the Women's Scratch Race.
Men's Omnium Day 2 Photos: Pursuit, Scratch, Kilo TT
Going into the second day of competition there was still no clear leader, with pre-competition favourites Tim Veldt (Netherlands), Shane Archbold (New Zealand) and Zach Bell (Canada) all struggling. After a strong Individual Pursuit, Archbold took the lead, but only one point ahead of Freiberg, who was showing remarkable consistency after a poor opening race in the Flying 200 metre. When the Australian won the fifth race - the Scratch - and Archbold was well back (11th), it was almost sealed. Archbold won the final 1000 metre time trial but, with 10 points in hand, Freiberg cruised to victory after finishing the last event in sixth place. Gijs Van Hoecke (Belgium), still showing facial scars from a heavy crash in the Elimination on Day 1, took third.
Zach Bell did not fare as well, finishing a disappointing sixth overall. The 2011 World Cup series champion won the opening race and was still in the lead after the second event, however, the middle two races saw him drop to eighth in the standings, and out of medal contention. He fought back in the final two races to move up to sixth.
"It's a bit of a mix of feelings," he said. "I think coming here I felt that even if things didn't go my way, I could still have been in the top-5. There was some tactical things that I didn't get on top of in the first day, and the legs just didn't come around the way we expected them to."
"Today was more positive, as I was able to salvage some semi-decent results - which were probably the worst I have had this season. In terms of moving forward and the Olympics, it's about getting the job done. Having two of my worst days of the season and finish sixth is pretty good."
Men's Keirin Photos
One of the most exciting events of the championships, the Keirin has been dominated by Great Britain for the past few years. The Brits put two into the final - Chris Hoy and Matt Crampton, with Jason Kenny missing the top six. Joining Hoy and Crampton were Perkins, Rene Enders (Germany), Ed Dawkins (New Zealand) and the great Dutch favourite Teun Mulder. Mulder is a former world champion, but is approaching the end of his career. However, he managed to feed off the cheers of the crowd to move through to the final, and then take the bronze medal, with a final surge past Crampton. Hoy took the silver behind Perkins.
An interesting note: This is the first time in ten years (except for 2009, when he was injured and did not compete) that Chris Hoy has not one at least one world title...
Women's Sprint Day 2 Photos
Anna Meares has been working to turn herself into more of a sprinter over the past few years, after the removal of her Olympic title event - the 500 metre time trial - from the Olympics. Her biggest nemesis has been Great Britain's Victoria Pendleton, who was carrying a four year winning streak for the evnt coming into these Worlds. However, Pendleton had already been beat by Meares in the Team Sprint, and the Brit didn't seem to have the focus that she normally shows. The two went up against each other in the semi-finals, with Meares winning the first and third races. In the other semi it was Simona Krupeckaite (Lithuania) versus Olga Panarina (Belarus), with Krupeckaite going through in three rides. In the final, Meares easily disposed of her rival, while Pendleton took the bronze. On the podium, emotion overtook Meares as she cried during the raising of the flags.
Women's Scratch Race Photos
After a series of early aborted attacks, in the final ten laps Belarus rider Aksana Papko began what would prove to be the winning move. Vos, Kathy Bates (Australia) and Danielle King (Great Britain) bridged up quickly, with Els Belmans (Belgium) the final rider to make it across. Vos and Bates drove the break until they had almost lapped the field, at which point they slowed to avoid getting caught up in traffic and cruised aroud behind the bunch. On the last lap Vos launched the winning attack, with the partisan crowd raising the roof as she raced to victory.
Women's Omnium Day 1 Photos: Flying 200, Points Race, Elimination
This was expected to be a battle between Tara Whitten (Canada), road pro Kirsten Wild (Netherlands) and Sarah Hammer (USA), however, Hammer was clearly struggling, after having raced both the Individual and Team Pursuits. Leire Olaberria (Spain) won the Flying 200, with Whitten second and Wild fourth. In the Points Race, Wild took fifth and whitten could only manage eighth, and in the Elimination, Wild was third and Whitten fourth. After the first three events, Wild leads Whitten by two points, Malgorzata Wojtyra (Poland) was third, six points back and Hammer a distant ten points.
"I am pretty happy with how the things have gone so far," commented Whitten. "The Omnium is all about consistency. None of the events were perfect, but I have been near the top in all three."
"I am pretty excited about tomorrow. The pursuit is a strong event for me and that will put me in a good position. I just have to race smart in the Scratch and get out of the gate in the 500m time trial," she added.

Robber holds Newton pharmacist at knifepoint, steals drugs, police say
Newton police searching for Walgreens assailant
Newton police are searching for a man who robbed a Newton Walgreens at knifepoint and beat the 67-year-old employee who tried to stop him.
A man walked through the door of the pharmacy at 399 Washington St. shortly before 6:30 p.m. Monday, jumped over the pharmacy counter, pulled out a knife and demanded drugs, police said.
"The man knew exactly what he wanted," Newton Police Department Lt. Bruce Apotheker said. "He knew exactly where he wanted to go."
The man held the pharmacist at knifepoint and forced the worker to unlock the drug cabinets, and he started clearing the shelves.
At the same time, a 67-year-old employee alerted customers over the store's audio system that a robbery was in progress and asked someone to call 911. The employee then tried to stop the robber, who kicked him before he got away.
The suspect was described as a whole man in his 40s, who is taller than 6 feet. He has a hefty build.
Anyone with information is urged to call Newton police at 617-796-2100.

$46 Million for Economic Development in Low-Income Communities in N.M.
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) today announced that Finance New Mexico will receive $46 million to support job creation and investments from the private-sector in economically distressed communities across the state.
The $46 million comes through the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program under the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. The NMTC is an important tool in economic recovery that supports job creation and small business growth in the struggling communities.
"Economic development in our low-income communities relies heavily on important investments from the private-sector to foster job growth. In an economy that is still recovering, this funding will help to encourage additional investments to help companies that are located in New Mexico or plan to expand there," Udall said.
Through these credits, Finance New Mexico will spur growth in distressed communities by catalyzing private-sector investments that will help create jobs at operating businesses, in construction and through various real estate projects.
Created by Congress in 2000, the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) is an incentive to encourage private capital investment in low-income communities. NMTCs are allocated by a bureau within the United States Department of the Treasury and reduce the tax liability of investors who make qualified equity investments over a seven-year period. To date, the NMTC has brought over $20 billion of private-sector capital to urban and rural communities throughout the country.
Finance New Mexico is a partnership of public and private entities with the goal of increasing economic development. For more information about Finance New Mexico, please visit their website: http://www.financenewmexico.org.

May-05-09 Commissioner Doria Promotes New HMFA "Prefund" Program for First-Time Homebuyers
Commissioner Doria Promotes New HMFA "Prefund" Program for First-Time Homebuyers
TRENTON - New Jersey Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) Commissioner Joseph Doria today addressed a group of home mortgage lenders about a new Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Program designed to allow its first-time homebuyers to take immediate advantage of a federal tax credit for people buying their first home. Eligible households can get a loan of up to $5,000 in anticipation of receiving a federal tax credit after filing their tax returns. New Jersey is the third state in the nation to offer such a program.
"This program is an extension of the efforts put into place by President Obama and Governor Corzine to stimulate the economy," said Commissioner Doria. "It will allow New Jersey residents a greater opportunity to achieve a piece of the American Dream."
Qualified persons who purchase a home for the first time by December 1, 2009, are eligible for up to an $8,000 federal refundable tax credit under the economic stimulus plan President Obama signed into law earlier this year. But homebuyers do not get the tax refund until after filing their tax returns. The HMFA, a DCA affiliate, will give people participating in its Homebuyer Mortgage Program the opportunity to get an advance on their credit in the form of a "Prefund" loan.
Income eligible homebuyers can receive a Tax Credit Loan Program Prefund loan, which is essentially a zero percent interest bridge loan that homebuyers will pay back once they receive their federal tax refund check. The Prefund loan must be paid back by June 30, 2010, and must be used for down payment and/or closing costs in conjunction with an HMFA mortgage or loan. Homebuyers may also combine the Prefund loan with the HMFA's Smart Start program, which can offer people further assistance with their down payment and closing costs.
"This program will make homeownership affordable to many New Jerseyans," said HMFA Executive Director Marge DellaVecchia. "By taking advantage of this unique opportunity to receive the federal tax credit immediately and use it, together with an HMFA mortgage and other down payment and closing cost assistance, homebuyers can bring the cash needed to the table to purchase their homes. There continues to be a strong demand for housing and this program helps make it a reality for many New Jersey residents."
Since its inception in 1967, the HMFA has been committed to making quality housing available at costs affordable to New Jersey residents. Aside from first-time homebuyers, the HMFA works with senior citizens in senior and assisted living facilities, the disabled in special needs communities, and the state's most needy families in traditional affordable housing developments.
For further information on the Prefund Program, please call 609-278-7400, or log on to http://www.nj.gov/dca/hmfa/.

If a large quantum computer (QC) existed today, what type of physical problems could we efficiently simulate on it that we could not simulate on a conventional computer? In this talk, I argue that a QC could solve some relevant physical "questions" more efficiently. First, I will focus on the quantum simulation of quantum systems satisfying different particle statistics (e.g., anyons), using a QC made of two-level physical systems or qubits. The existence of one-to-one mappings between different algebras of observables or between different Hilbert spaces allow us to represent and imitate any physical system by any other one (e.g., a bosonic system by a spin-1/2 system). We explain how these mappings can be performed showing quantum networks useful for the efficient evaluation of some physical properties, such as correlation functions and energy spectra. Second, I will focus on the quantum simulation of classical systems. Interestingly, the thermodynamic properties of any d-dimensional classical system can be obtained by studying the zero-temperature properties of an associated d-dimensional quantum system. This classical-quantum correspondence allows us to understand classical annealing procedures as slow (adiabatic) evolutions of the lowest-energy state of the corresponding quantum system. Since many of these problems are NP-hard and therefore difficult to solve, is worth investigating if a QC would be a better device to find the corresponding solutions.

Two Argentine reporters die after car falls down ravine at Dakar Rally
Two members of an Argentine news team covering the Dakar Rally died on Thursday when the car they were driving in fell into a ravine, the Super Rally magazine said.
''The dead are journalism student Agustin Mina, 20, and Daniel Ambrosio, 51, who loved auto racing,'' magazine manager Francisco Delgado told AFP.
Although not officially accredited, the team was covering the 2014 rally - in which 431 vehicles are crossing Argentina, Bolivia and Chile for the auto, motorbike, quad and lorry events.
Also in the vehicle were 31-year-old Martin Delgado, the magazine manager's son, and Rodrigo de Quesada, 36. Both men are photographers for the Super Rally magazine.The survivors were taken to a hospital in Tucuman.
The group came from the central province of Cordoba, except for Quesada, who is Peruvian.The cause of the crash is not yet clear, Francisco Delgado said by telephone.
The car ''fell 100 meters (330 feet) over a cliff and those in the front seat were killed instantly. The others were saved,'' he said.
This is the 35th edition of the iconic Dakar Rally, which used to run from Paris to Dakar but has moved to Latin America in recent years.
The 13-stage race, with a single rest day, is 9,374 kilometres long for cars, with more than 5,500 kilometres of timed ''special sections.''

SPSP has a longstanding commitment to maintaining the quality and integrity of research findings in social and personality psychology. This commitment is reflected in our ongoing efforts to identify, adopt, and promote best practices through the society's publications. Here we describe some of SPSP's recent actions as part of its commitment to continually evaluate and adapt strategies to ensure the quality and integrity of research.
2015 – Signed on to Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines
At its Summer 2015 meeting, the SPSP Board of Directors voted (8-1-1) to join as an organizational signatory of the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines. In doing so, SPSP expresses its support of the principles of openness, transparency, and reproducibility. The SPSP Publication Committee and journal editors will review journal practices relevant to transparency and reproducibility. In doing this review, SPSP is not committing to adopting any predetermined standard or level, not limiting its scope to issues identified by TOP. Research in social and personality psychology involves diverse methods, populations, settings, and topics, and SPSP will identify the best way to implement changes that will support continued scientific progress in the field. This review will be conducted in a manner that is representative of the SPSP membership and the values of diversity and inclusiveness that SPSP maintains
2013 – Presidential Task Force on Publication and Research Practices
Initiated and chaired by 2013 SPSP President David Funder, the SPSP Presidential Task Force on Publication and Research Practices (PRP) was charged with making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning actions to improve the dependability of research findings in personality and social psychology. Concerns about replicability have recently been raised in a wide range of scientific fields including physics, biochemistry, medicine, political science, and cell biology, as well as psychology. As a behavioral science organization SPSP is well-positioned to be a leader in improving research practices and professional communication across disciplines. The hope was that the actions taken by SPSP will be a model for other organizations within and outside of psychology. The committee was particularly requested to consider matters of practice and policy at the society-owned journals, PSPB and PSPR, as well as other issues."
The Task Force recommended (and the SPSP Board approved) adoption of a formal Data Sharing Policy and changes to the SPSP submission policies. For both PSPB and PSPR (for empirical papers), these changes included greater transparency in methods reporting (e.g., verbatim wording of all independent and dependent variable instructions, manipulations, and measures, published online for accepted papers) and greater transparency in results reporting (e.g., mandated reporting of effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals, issues of power and sample size). In addition, PSPB guidelines include an explicit statement that replications and meta-analyses are acceptable types of research. See the PSPB Submission Guidelines and PSPR Submission Guidelines for details.

2012 – Responsible Research Task Force
Initiated by 2011 SPSP President Todd Heatherton and chaired by Jennifer Crocker, this Task Force convened a summit among related societies to discuss the promotion of responsible conduct in social and personality psychology. The recent Diederik Stapel case raised many important issues regarding data integrity and professional ethical conduct and put the field under a national spotlight. Rather than having many affected societies work in isolation and have overlap in effort, SPSP felt that a unified approach from the field will be most productive. Accordingly, SPSP convened a summit at the annual SPSP Meeting in San Diego in January 2012 where SPSP members who also serve other societies met to discuss the relevant issues and possible ways for the field to move forward to promote ethical conduct.

The gc module is only available if the interpreter was built with the optional cyclic garbage detector (enabled by default). If this was not enabled, an ImportError is raised by attempts to import this module.
This module provides an interface to the optional garbage collector. It
provides the ability to disable the collector, tune the collection
frequency, and set debugging options. It also provides access to
unreachable objects that the collector found but cannot free. Since the
collector supplements the reference counting already used in Python, you
can disable the collector if you are sure your program does not create
reference cycles. Automatic collection can be disabled by calling
gc.disable(). To debug a leaking program call
The gc module provides the following functions:
sys.stderr. See below
for a list of debugging flags which can be combined using bit
operations to control debugging.
The GC classifies objects into three generations depending on how many
collection sweeps they have survived. New objects are placed in the
youngest generation (generation
0). If an object survives a
collection it is moved into the next older generation. Since
2 is the oldest generation, objects in that
generation remain there after a collection. In order to decide when
to run, the collector keeps track of the number object allocations and
deallocations since the last collection. When the number of
allocations minus the number of deallocations exceeds
threshold0, collection starts. Initially only generation
0 is examined. If generation
0 has been examined more
than threshold1 times since generation
1 has been
examined, then generation
1 is examined as well. Similarly,
threshold2 controls the number of collections of generation
1 before collecting generation
(threshold0, threshold1, threshold2).
The following variable is provided for read-only access (you can mutate its value but should not rebind it):
del gc.garbage[:] to empty the list. It's generally better
to avoid the issue by not creating cycles containing objects with
__del__() methods, and garbage can be examined in that
case to verify that no such cycles are being created.
If DEBUG_SAVEALL is set, then all unreachable objects will be added to this list rather than freed.
The following constants are provided for use with set_debug():

News Monday...on TUESDAY!
Been a while since we did a full news post. Here's what's been coming through my inbox!
Geekgasm Alert: Most of you probably know that JJ Abrams and Eric Kripke got together for Revolution, a network TV drama with a lot of secrecy over the storyline. NBC hesitated, but finally green-lit the pilot. So cross your fingers that the pilot does well! Here's the story description (we'll ignore the flaws inherent in the way it's described...):
"The project is described as a high-octane action drama that follows a group of characters struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist."
Jared Padalecki did another interview with TVLine about Misha and Jim being off the show, what's coming, and what he'd want in season 8.
Zap2It did a set visit with a video interview. I love the details, like the Super Bowl pool and the wardrobe from a recent episode.
I won't post a link for this, because it's everywhere, but Rachel Miner will be returning. She most recently housed Meg-the-Demon in season 6.
In this Friday's episode, Dean swears off booze and chicks. (Click link for clip from the episode posted at BuddyTV.)
There've been spoilers running around about Castiel's return in episode 17. I keep getting glimpses, but don't follow the links, so all I see is "Castiel's missing something" with all kinds of "oh noes!" connotations. But... Isn't that one pretty easy? He won't be wearing the infamous trench coat, because when he went all esplody in the water, Dean pulled the coat out. Anyone have another suggestion?

Top Story: Indian Country Today reports on a new documentary, "Holy Man: The USA vs. Douglas White," that looks at the case of a Lakota medicine man who was accused of abusing his two grandchildren. Jennifer Jessum and Simon Joseph, a husband and wife duo who produced and directed the film, knew White through a member of his family, and were shocked to hear about the charges made against him. After White was convicted and sentenced to prison, they investigated the matter and uncovered several "holes" in the prosecution, and eventually, saw one of the grandchildren recant his testimony.
[Roy Helper Jr.] met the film crew at a hotel in Rapid City, and he confessed on film that he had lied about the alleged abuse. He said that he and his brother, Lloyd, were under tremendous pressure from lawyers, judges and "people in suits," and he said the experience was frightening. He also indicated that they were coaxed to say certain things. In return, they were told they would get money, toys, even a horse. (They received none of those things.) "We were just little, dumb, stupid Indian kids, being tossed around," Helper says in Holy Man, his voice choked with emotion. "Eventually it's going to come out. Like today."
Despite a cascading series of events that proved White's innocence, the U.S. Attorney's office engaged in stalling and delaying tactics, and White died in prison in 2009 before he could be exonerated. There is now a petition to have President Obama posthumously exonerate Douglas White, apologize for his wrongful conviction, make reparations to White's family, and initiate an investigation into the agents who pursued the case against White. The filmmakers are now working on issues of Tribal sovereignty, and the epidemic of teen suicide in Indian country. DVDs of the film are expected to be available this Summer.

Here's the abstract: "American and European liberalism began to take different paths in the nineteenth century, particularly with respect to their views on democracy. This divergence stems in part from the fact that liberal principles give rise to different types of spontaneous order, each of which generates unique patterns of social coordination."

More on this, here. You'll be hearing a LOT about this decision in the coming weeks, and I expect I'll put in my two cents sooner rather than later.
That's all I have for now, have a great day!
