TUCSON, Ariz. — Looking to camp out on the couch and take down a show that will keep you up way too late and help you procrastinate from doing more important tasks? Here are five shows to stream.

Stars: Kate Winslet, Evan Peters, Guy Pearce, Angourie Rice.
Service: HBO Max.
Why it's impossible to stop watching: Winslet shows off a much more rough-hewn side than she's ever hinted at before. Crisp dialogue and an entrancing mystery keep you guessing. New episodes drop on Sundays, with the finale scheduled for May 30.
Premise: A one-hit wonder girl group from the 1990s reunites to cash in on nostalgia and reignite their fame.
Stars: Sara Bareilles, Busy Phillips, Paula Bell, Renee Elise Goldberry.
Service: Peacock.
Why it's impossible to stop watching: Bareilles's comedy talents match her musical acumen, and she delivers some hilarious songs to underline the sitcom's themes playfully. Executive producer Tina Fey's talents have produced yet another winner. The series debuts on May 6.
Premise: The follow-up to the 1990s sports films finds the once-lowly Ducks now as pompous front-runners. A scrappy team of scrubs is out to take them down.

Stars: Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche.
Service: Hulu.
Why it's impossible to stop watching: The rebooted "Animaniacs" packs all the appeal of the beloved and sometimes forgotten original.

You also can't go wrong with more "Pinky and the Brain."

TUCSON, Ariz. — Looking to camp out on the couch and take down a show that will keep you up way too late and help you procrastinate from doing more important tasks? Here are five shows to stream.

The Milwaukee Admirals announced Thursday that defenseman and former captain Scott Ford has signed a one-year contract, making the 2013-14 campaign his sixth season with the team.
"Scott has not only been an integral part of our team on the ice, but he has also been a fantastic member of our community," said Admirals governor and CEO Harris Turer. "It's great to have him back for another season in an Admirals uniform."
Ford is the team's all-time AHL leader in games played with 300, a record he broke on April 12 last season. In parts of five years with the Admirals, the Fort St. John, B.C., native has totaled 11 goals and 26 assists for 37 points and 480 penalty minutes. In addition, Ford has accumulated a plus-38 rating, which included a plus-24 rating in 2010-11 — the best by an Admiral since the 2003-04 season.
The Brown University alum (2000-04) has also been an important leader during his time with the Admirals. He wore the "C" as the team's captain during the 2011-12 season and was an alternate captain in three other years.
Last year Ford started the season in the St. Louis organization, but was acquired by Nashville in a trade in late February and proceeded to help the Admirals go 15-4-1 down the stretch and qualify for the Calder Cup Playoffs for the 11th consecutive season, the longest current streak in the AHL.
Ford has played 444 career AHL games with Milwaukee, Peoria, Bridgeport, Providence and Cleveland, totaling 15 goals and 42 assists for 57 points along with a plus-31 rating. He has added three assists and a plus-7 rating in 36 Calder Cup Playoff games.

To say that the relationship between a child and parent is fraught with emotions, most of them far from easy to put into words, is putting it lightly. Yet this is the subject of Mum, a short film that captures a visit from a trans woman to her aging mother. Having already won a handful of accolades, it began screening as part of New Irish Shorts 3 at the Galway Film Fleadh just this past Thursday, July 13th.
Mum is the creation of many talented individuals, chief among them being director Anne-Marie O'Connor and actor and star Kate O'Donnell. In addition to being able to review the short film I was also offered an interview with the two of them that allowed me to gain a better understanding of how this particular work came to be.
First off, congratulations to the both of you on the awards that Mum has won so far, at both the London Independent Film Festival and Global Shorts. To springboard off of that into our first question, as it's screened as part of "New Irish Shorts 3" at the Galway Film Fleadh, what helps to make this an Irish film outside of the talent involved?
O'Connor: The song that is played and sung throughout the short is Black Velvet Band. It was important to me for this to link the film as it was a song that Kate's mum used to sing to her and a song that my dad used to sing to me as a child. And although geographically it isn't set in Ireland, the relationship between Kate and her mum feels very Irish to me and in writing this I felt that Linda was second-generation Irish and that Kate was a product of that upbringing.
I noticed in the credits that Mum was created by the two of you, but that it was only written by Anne-Marie. Could you both go into some detail regarding the creative process?
O'Connor: Kate and I are good friends and have been for years, and as she's a leading trans actor and activist I've always wanted to work with her creatively. We often discuss the way that transgender people are portrayed in film and TV (the fascination with the transition, the no-one-will-ever-love-me storyline, sex workers or outsiders) and wanted to make a short that didn't fall into those familiar tropes, to have a transgender central character in a universal story.
So I met with Kate and I asked her what story she would tell if she could and it simply came from her saying she'd love to go home and paint her mum's nails; something she used to do when she was younger but is impossible to do because her stepfather makes life difficult (he's always been difficult, way before Kate transitioned!). And so we built the story around her own story. It was very important for both of us that Kate was acknowledged in the creative process. So that is why it is created by both of us.

David Wright?
Mark De Rosa? Kevin Kouzmanoff? Placido Polanco? Scott Rolen?
That's the bulk of your 2012-13 free agent third basemen, unless you count first baseman Mark Reynolds, the only player to strike out more times in a single season than Adam Dunn but lower his strikeout total to 159 under Orioles hitting coach Jim Presley.
With the New York Mets feverishly trying to re-sign Wright to a lucrative extension, that leaves an undistinguished cast of potential external candidates for the White Sox to replace Kevin Youkilis at third base should he depart via free agency - a likely scenario.
It will come as no surprise to Youkilis if and when the Sox elect not to pick up his $13 million option for 2013. In fact, Youkilis chuckled when asked in early August about a Boston Globe report saying the Sox were inclined not to pick up the option, sensing the source of the story came from an office at 4 Yawkey Way.
Youkilis, 33, batted only three points higher than he did during his last 42 games with the Red Sox. But he slugged 15 home runs in only 80 games with the White Sox, his on-base was .346 (lower than his career average but higher than your typical White Sox player) and he displayed a knack for working deep counts — a rarity among most Sox players.
Also, he rarely got caught between hops and was one of the few third basemen who could take a step back and still retire a batter at first.
This marks the first time, however, in Youkilis' career that he will be eligible for free agency, and that wasn't lost on him during the final days of the 2012 season.
"The whole thing is a business," Youkilis said. "Sometimes it's out of your control. So, that's part of the game and I learned that this year. Baseball is a business, so you have to …
"For me personally, I've enjoyed it, I've had a lot of fun. It's great for my family in Cincinnati to come up and watch. But the future, who knows what's going to happen."
There will be no shortage of teams interested in Youkilis, who filled various roles with the Sox.
The biggest issue will be the health of his knee that he insisted was fine, adding that the source of his ailment was a bursa sac that required rest.
"The only thing you can do is rest, and in baseball there are no six (days) before the next game," Youkilis said. "It will be fine in the offseason with rest."
As much as Youkilis invigorated the Sox over most of the second half of the season, it came after Brent Morel suffered a mid-back strain and Orlando Hudson couldn't make a successful transformation from second base to third (where he played for the first time since 2001 at Triple-A Syracuse).
Unless the Sox deal for a third baseman, Morel becomes the wild card at this position. Until his back pain flared up in spring training, he appeared on track to fill the position as well as the No. 2 spot in the lineup. The discomfort, however, was evident by his inability to extend on outside pitches and his unusually high strikeout total in the first five weeks. Scouts who watched him on his rehabilitation assignment and after his option to Triple-A Charlotte weren't overwhelmed.
Chicago Tribune Sports
When asked about Morel's status in 2013, general manager Ken Williams was direct.
"Hopefully he fits as a healthy Brent Morel so we can see what he's all about and what he brings to a ballclub because he's a pretty good player," Williams said on the final day of the 2012 season. "But at this point, I couldn't answer that question. I can't answer that question without seeing him on the field in spring training."
An emailer suggested an attractive but somewhat unlikely proposal — that the Sox move Dayan Viciedo from left field to third base.
Viciedo has played third in the past, possesses a strong arm and has maintained a weight level that has enabled him to move quicker than when he joined the Sox before the 2009 season.
But the Sox probably would hesitate to move Viciedo, who has played third, first, right and left fields in his first four seasons in the organization.
Barring a trade, Morel could regain his starting position — provided he's fully recovered from his back problems.

DNS which stands for Domain Name System or Domain Name Server is a service which converts the user friendly names on your favorite websites to IP address. All the websites you know are running or hosted on some server but the server is identified only by the IP address and not by the domain name. Here DNS helps to convert the Name you have entered in browser to IP address. Without DNS you might have to remember the IP address of all your favorite websites (which is quite difficult as we browse and access hundreds of website), you wouldn't able to access your emails or any other internet services.
What is DNSChanger Malware?
DNSChanger Malware is developed by Rove Digital- an IT company known for sending spams and Malware (as per Wikipedia) and it's a DNS hijacking Trojan which attacks the computer's (or routers) DNS entries and change/point them to a unreliable DNS which redirects you (a visitor or Internet user) to various fraudulent websites, show advertisements on WebPages etc. This unreliable DNS is known as Rogue DNS.
How it Operate?
DNSChanger was distributed as video codec which need to download to view the video content on a website mostly on unreliable or Rogue Porn Websites. Once the user installs the so called codec, the malware starts doing is job i.e. to attack the DNS configuration of your computer and replaces it with rogue DNS Server. This malware also tries to access your network devices like routers using default login credentials; if successful it changes the DNS entries of it.
How to detect?
You have to check your network settings, specially the DNS section and if your computers or routers DNS is using any of the IP's mentioned below; you are infected.
18.104.22.168 through 18.104.22.168
126.96.36.199 through 18.104.22.168
188.8.131.52 through 184.108.40.206
18.104.22.168 through 18.104.22.168
126.96.36.199 through 188.8.131.52
18.104.22.168 through 22.214.171.124
You can also check http://www.dns-ok.us/ which checks and verify your IP and shows result. If you see following Screen (In Green Color) then you are not infected.
So, while browsing be safe and don't download any video codec until it's from a reliable source.
Note: I have collected the information available on internet and tried to explain it in simple terms. I request the viewers if they have more information about DNSChanger please share.

With the SciFi Channel's rebranding as SyFy just two weeks away, the network is preparing to convince everyone that the name isn't that bad... even if they have to bribe New York City to do it.
As part of the promotions for the new name for the channel, SyFy will be providing free wireless internet — dubbed "WyFy from SyFy" — at Union Square and Times Square, as well as building something called an "interactive Imagination Park" outside parent company NBC/Universal's Rockefeller Center to include program-centric promotion between July 7th and 12th. The network has also been named as the lead sponsor of the Museum of Modern Art's November-launching Tim Burton retrospective.
Admittedly, if you live outside of New York, this doesn't do a lot for you... unless you're an NBC affiliate, in which case you can enter a sweepstake to win a trip to San Francisco for some Warehouse 13 and Eureka goodies. Everyone else, though? We just have to wait for San Diego Comic Con, where the network plans a "larger presence"... and hopefully some spoilers and teases for the year ahead.
SciFi's rebrand into SyFy officially takes place on July 7th.

Love Can Conquer Any Storm
Aug 31, 2008
I'm departing from my usual topic for tonight.
I read a book once. Maybe you've heard of it? It's a great book with this mythical wizard named Harry. To be honest, the book mesmerized me. Great writing, great characters and an underlying theme of the importance of friendship and love. Wow – Jo, you totally rock!
After I read the book I found that I "magically" discovered all of these people to discuss this wonderful piece of literature. These friends and I have had great, in-depth discussions over the years. We have discussed alchemy, the hero's journey, mythology, word etymologies and other subjects that some of us would never have heard of in our pre-Hogwarts life.
During the discussions, and in the fun of working on this wonderful website, we became close friends. Without realizing it, the love that Lily used to save her son seeped out of the pages and into our hearts. Suddenly, we were family.
Tonight as a dark force looms close to my house I find that family reaching out to me, giving me strength, becoming both my patronus and my chocolate. Yet, amazingly enough it didn't stop there. Using social networking these same people were able to notify families and friends closer to the storm where to find supplies, where stores were open and where hotels with rooms could be found. A friend from the UK found where my friend in Lafayette, LA could find batteries.
If that is not magic, what is?
If there is a spell that could repel a hurricane, I am sure Hermione knows it. (Actually, it's probably in Hogwarts a History and I should have read it.) While Harry is the hero that brought us all together, tonight I am proud that my Leaky family is reaching out to those who need a little magic.
Here at Leaky we give each other Standing Ovations for things done that are exceptional.
To my Leaky Family, this Standing Ovation is not for your work on the site, but for your work in the world. For volunteering for the Red Cross because it's the right thing to do, for donating blood for those who might need it, for volunteering your homes to people you don't know, for spending hours listening to weather reports and relaying information about streets, stores and hotels, for praying and for doing all those other things you'll do that I won't even know about, this Standing O is for you.

UT Lady Vols lose NCAA softball Super Regional opener
NORMAN, Okla. –Tennessee scored one run after a rain delay, but the Lady Vols could not overcome a slow start, falling to Oklahoma 8-1 in Game 1 of the Norman Super Regional on Friday.
No. 10 seed Tennessee (45-11) scored its lone run in the top of the fourth inning after a 2-hour, 37-minute rain delay. No. 7 seed Oklahoma scored single runs in the first, second, fourth and fifth before adding four runs in the sixth inning.
The super regional is a rematch of the 2013 NCAA championship series, which was won by the Sooners.
Oklahoma (48-10) struck first with one run in the bottom of the first. With runners on first and second and two outs, Georgia Casey hit an RBI single, plating Destinee Martinez to give OU a 1-0 lead. Ellen Renfroe closed the door on the inning when she sent Whitney Ellis down swinging in the next at-bat.
Oklahoma added another run in the second inning after Callie Parsons hit a leadoff double. Two batters later, Erin Miller drove her in with a sacrifice fly to center field.
The game went into a lightning delay in the bottom of the third with two Oklahoma runners on and two outs. Rain followed and delay the game until play resumed at 9:45 p.m.
Tennessee came out of the rain delay strong. With two runners aboard in the Oklahoma third, Renfroe induced a lineout to short to end the inning.
In the top of the fourth, Annie Aldrete hit a one-out double to the wall in right center, Melissa Davin followed with a bloop single to right center and Lexi Overstreet clubbed an RBI single off the top of the right-field wall to score Aldrete and pull UT to within 2-1.
Oklahoma responded in the bottom of the fourth with one run to push its lead to 3-1. Two errors and a walk loaded the bases with one out for Lauren Chamberlain, who hit an RBI single to center field. Martinez was out on the play after a base-running mistake.
The Sooners opened the bottom of the fifth with a solo homer to center field by Brittany Williams to stretch their lead to 4-1. They added four more runs in the bottom of the sixth to seal the win.
Tennessee and Oklahoma will square off in Game 2 today at 4 p.m. on ESPN. If necessary, Game 3 will be played at 7 p.m. or 45 minutes after the end of Game 2 and will air on ESPN2.

Douglas Brenner: A lake house in Skaneateles — isn't this a sort of homecoming for you?
Thom Filicia: It is. I grew up nearby, in Syracuse, and we came here when I was a kid. My new book on the house, American Beauty, is a little bit about going home and staying connected to where you're from and what you're about. It's also about the idea of not having to knock things down to make them relevant today. My house was built in 1917. I happened to see the For Sale sign when I was up here for a wedding. I pulled in the driveway, and it looked like it was about to implode, it was so dilapidated. There were squirrels living in it! I thought, 'Ah, this house needs me. And I need this house.'
What was your vision for it?
More From House Beautiful
That it would feel like a lake house, but also a home. Sophisticated, but also down-to-earth and approachable. Specific to where it is, but not a musty camp cliché. Younger, fresher. It really represents my aesthetic and my point of view for a country house. I designed the furniture, the rugs, the fabrics, the wall art, the curtain hardware. It's about as me as you can get.
You have quite a few rooms where the furniture is pretty densely packed in. What was your motivation?
Entertaining. I mean, I go to people's houses that are twice the size of mine, and there's not enough seating. There's a lot of seating here. I wanted comfortable, inviting rooms where people can come in, sit down, put up their feet, relax, have fun. My partner, Greg, and I have the entertaining thing in common. We like having lots of people around, and there's rarely an empty guest room.
That living room sofa could seat an entire party.
It's kind of ridiculous, isn't it? I think it's 10 feet long. It's called the Skaneateles sofa, and it's part of my furniture line — but not in that length. I made it that long for this house.
Do you have designs in the works now that were inspired by your house?
Without a doubt. My furniture line is called the New American, and it represents a fresh approach to Americana. It's easy, relaxed, and comfortable, but also chic.
What does 'Americana' mean to you?
To me, Americana has always been based on the way people in this country actually live. There's something rugged about it, something simple and clean, humble and restrained. I love when things are humble. I love when things are restrained. I love when things are inspired by something fanciful, but they're dialed back. The idea of a reinvigorated, more relevant Americana excites me. I'm not looking to live in a Tuscan villa or a Loire Valley château in upstate New York. If I wanted a château, I'd want to have it in France. Things should make sense for where they are. And I'm very inspired by the American lifestyle.
Your dining room really reflects your love of restraint.
Bare floor, bare table — I'm not big on tablecloths, to be honest. It does have a more austere look, but the walls are upholstered, so the room feels warm and cozy. And it helps the acoustics. All the clinking and clanking of glasses and silverware doesn't reverberate and drown out conversation — dining rooms should be conducive to that. Sound and lighting are very important to me when I entertain. There are built-in speakers hidden in every room, and every single light in the house, including in closets, is on a dimmer. I like the atmosphere to be relaxing and soothing, and then around 10 o'clock I might amp it up and make it a little more fun. And then later, maybe make it darker again.
Is there a grand finale?
After dinner, we sit around the fire pit down by the lake. We do this summer, fall, winter, spring. It's magical. After New Year's we burn our Christmas tree in the pit. Last time I had to remind people to take the base off. Sometimes we have a few too many cocktails and start getting creative.
Are you here for Thanksgiving?
Yes. A bunch of friends come up from New York, and we have a dinner party the night before Thanksgiving. The next morning, we all get up and do the Turkey Trot, which is a three-and-a-half-mile run with about 300 people. And after the run they have Bloody Marys on the lawn outside a big tent. Then some friends have a big cocktail party, so we go there, still in our running clothes. By five o'clock, our eyes are going in all different directions. Everyone goes home and takes a nap, and then we all go to an inn in the village. There's a room with a fireplace that seats 30 people. We do one long table, and both of our families join us.
Any last thing you want to say about your book?
American Beauty is partly a case study — it shows how to take an ugly duckling and make it pretty again. It's about an American house and an American approach to decorating. A house that's fun, friendly, relaxed, stylish, and cool. A house that's enjoyed and used and really lived in, that's a great backdrop for my life. The house feels alive. And that's why I think it's a beautiful story.

It seems like I've spent half my life standing on street corners holding protest signs. If you want to see and know America that is the place to be. People in their automobiles are living their "dream" of independence and upward mobility - at least that's what they've been conditioned to think.
Today seven of us stood for an hour in the breezy-cold under gray skies with snow lightly falling in front of the administration building at Bath Iron Works. We started at 11:30 am and at noon the shipyard horn blew and minutes later a steady stream of cars come flying out of the parking lots. Many of the workers drive over-sized pickup trucks, most of which are newer models attesting to the fact that the wages inside the yard are good enough to secure a heavy vehicle loan.
Most of the workers don't engage as they roll by. Now and then someone will awkwardly wave to us and we get a good number of the middle fingers. One women drove by today and shielded her face from us with her left hand.....she had an Army bumper sticker on her truck.....I wondered if she was a Christian fundamentalist who viewed us as the devil? My mind wanders in those minutes.
When I attend these kind of vigils I come to work so I usually stand by myself and concentrate on the faces that drive by. I want to make eye contact. If I'm going to stand in the cold then I want to make sure my sign gets read.
Maureen and George Kehoe-Ostensen organize these Lenten vigils and do the same during the Advent season. Week in and week out we gather to bring the disarmament and conversion message to the workers and the public.
At the end of the vigil we always stand in a circle. Maureen asks us to bring those suffering from wars into our circle and also to remember those who are in prison for protesting against war. She then invites us to bring other names into the circle.
This is my 10th year in Maine standing at these BIW vigils and today I thanked Maureen and George for their steady leadership that brings us all together. It's a meditation for me in many respects. It's a hard road to stand on but a meaningful way to spend a life.

Loads of people get it into their heads that the sole difference between INTJs and INFJs is that the latter are sweet and kind while the former are complete apathetic jerks. Unfortunately, this assumption is based on stereotypes and doesn't include the jungian functions at all.
In my experience, there are plenty of both types that defy the stereotype beyond reason, to the point that MBTI-Typers who go based on stereotypes are bound to get them wrong.
This type of behaviour can also be observed if you watch Sherlock.
INxJs share two common functions: dominant Ni, and inferior Se. As a result, it's easy for the two types to relate to one another on many levels.
Dominant Ni
Ni dominants are…it seems the most likely to get existential depression as children. I had it, Ender Wiggin certainly had it etc. the reason for this is that Ni doms are rigged for pattern recognition and philosophical thinking.
They will both be prone to existential crises (aka, frequent midlife crises) during childhood and youth, that most people don't experience until they hit 40…mostly because INxJs think too much.
Both INTJs and INFJs are big-picture, future oriented, but also have a narrow goal focus. Both are likely to be ambitious and are known for picking out career paths as very young children. They are likely to be disciplined and so focused on their goals that they often fall prey to the absent-minded-professor syndrome, in which they forget to eat, wash or take care of themselves because they're so focused on their goal.
In the case that the INxJ doesn't have a grand life-vision (and this does happen), the INxJ will likely be quite unhappy with their life and…immature for an INxJ. The reason for this is that the life-vision constitutes a major portion of the INxJ's dominant function, and when a dominant function is neglected, the results tend to be negative. Take a look at Thomas Barrow from Downton Abbey if you want a picture of what this looks like.
INxJs are good at predicting the future intuitively and usually like to plan ahead to keep themselves safe from danger.
Both are extremely good at strategizing, because they notice patterns so easily and then form logical conclusions about those patterns.
Inferior Se
I'm an INTJ and one of my room-mates is INFJ. Both of us notice immediately if any of our belongings get moved, whereas our two other Si-using roommates never notice if their stuff gets moved. We both are incredibly aware of our environments and are more likely to sit down and watch a sunset than our Si-roommates.
We're also more coordinated than our Si-roommates. I will often sit for hours working out a philosophical problem, and upon solving it I will promptly leap up and over furniture to get to the kitchen because I was so focused that I forgot to feed myself. It seems to amuse my ENTP and ESFJ room-mates quite a lot.
I have also been known to dash for auto-lock doors before they closed because I didn't want to unlock them to go through. They like to call me an undercover ninja. My INFJ room-mate has attained the reputation of undercover CIA agent.
Both INTJs and INFJs will likely be visual learners and will either need to write things out or draw them to learn them properly.
INxJs are prone to zoning out of reality for long periods of time, so that they live a great deal in their heads. When working out a complicated problem, I tend to be unaware of most of what's going on around me unless I'm specifically using my environment to solve the problem.
If it's a hands on problem that uses external evidence, then I'm readily tuned to details in my environment and ready to use them to my advantage. On the other hand, it it's a theoretical problem that doesn't involve empiricals, I completely forget my physical environment exists.
When I'm in this zone, I miss all kinds of crazy things –loud things even.
Auxiliary Function: Te vs Fe
Understanding of People
They both understand people extremely well, but they do so using slightly different function combinations. Both will use Se to observe people, feeding their Ni with fairly accurate ideas of people and situations before they can prove it. They tend to reach equally accurate conclusions, but the difference lies in their Auxiliary function.
The INTJ will reason out logically what a person thinks and feels using Te (after the NiSe does its magic) and will be able to accurately describe what a person feels and why they feel that way AKA Speaker for the Dead. Ender Wiggin can accurately know pretty much everything there is to know about a person before being able to prove it (NiSe), after which he hacks into all their computers to prove his conclusions with actual evidence (Te).
On the other hand, you have INFJs, such as the 8th Doctor, who can pinpoint equally accurate ideas of people, after which…he does nothing to logically back up his conclusions. "Don't be sad, Grace," he'll say, but have no evidence as to how he knows this. He's good at figuring out his enemies' motivations simply by being in the room with them. He simply observes (Se), and then simultaneously intuits and reads people's emotions (NiFe).
I have been accused of being a telepath before for knowing things about people that they had never spoken out loud. In times past, I considered myself a sort of Speaker for the Living, because I would write tributes to different people that I heard others judging so that those people could be understood for who they were and not who they appeared to be on the surface.
INTJs will be more organised (Te), but strangely less able to keep a schedule than INFJs because the INFJ's Fe will give them a greater desire to follow rules and keep social norms, such as not being late to class. INTJs will more likely prioritise their theoretical thought processes than their schedule.
In my mind, a schedule translates to a trivial, but stressful priority.
Communication Style
The Auxiliary function will also dictate how they communicate.
The INTJ is likely to be blunt (Te), and if not blunt, sarcastic. When they speak, they will either sound like a complete pessimist, or an unrealistically idealistic person. The reason for this is that they want to find the absolute truth, and believe themselves to be utter realists. What most people hate about this, is that they're usually right in their predictions.
Two examples. I was on a car trip across-country with my family and ended up in the middle of nowhere with no gas. Somehow, I intuitively knew we would be fine, and while my family was complaining about how we were doomed and going to be stranded out there until someone came to help us, I was telling them we would be fine.
You can imagine no one wanted to believe me, and…what they all felt when they found out I was right.
Example two: is the deplorable situation when I know everything is going to go completely wrong, and everyone else wants to believe everything is fine. Of course, my Fi need to be absolutely true to myself leads to me wanting to speak only the absolute truth. Naturally, I can't help speaking my predictions and sounding like a pessimist. In the moment, everyone complains about what a downie I am, and after my prediction comes true, they all avoid my gaze.
The INFJ on the other hand, is more likely to try to sugarcoat their predictions so that they sound nicer and less pessimistic to non-realists. The INFJ will be more accommodating in their communication style, still sarcastic, but less sardonic.
In general the INFJ's Fe will make them more approachable than INTJs as they will be more charismatic and accommodative, whereas, if the INTJ doesn't want to talk to you, they willx just ignore you.
When it comes to arguments, the INTJ will more likely try to convince you using logical appeals, whereas the INFJ will use emotional appeals.
Te vs Ti
While both the INFJ and INTJ are goal-oriented, the INTJ will be more likely to realise those visions because of Te action-orientation. As a result, if either of the two is least likely to change majors in college, it's the INTJ.
Both types will have Ni ambition and visions for their future, but INFJ (Ti) may spend more time analysing it and less time realising it, whereas the INTJ (Te) will focus on achieving their goals whatever the momentary cost.
The INFJ is likely to analyse the information he/she gains extensively (NiTi), while the INTJ will use the information to accomplish something (NiTe).
INTJs are more likely to talk out loud about their thoughts/feelings than INFJs are (Ti vs Te). They're likely to talk out loud to themselves or write their thoughts in addition to maintaining a constant interior dialogue.
INFJs will most certainly maintain a constant interior dialogue, but don't often voice it out loud, preferring rather to work through their thoughts in silence (Ti), or through writing.
While both types can be equally introverted, they will show it in different ways. The INFJ will be nice and socialise with people in public (Fe), and the INTJ will probably avoid this (though this isn't always the case), but will talk to you quite a bit in private (that is, if you get close enough that they feel comfortable talking to you all the time).
Fe vs Fi
Both will be introspective, but in different ways. The INFJ will not easily understand his/her emotions, but will feel them intensely (Fe), and will try to analyse them (Ti). The INFJ will embrace his/her emotions and use them to benefit (or hurt) other people depending on their motivations.
The INTJ will understand his/her emotions extremely well and will analyse them (TeFi), but will be afraid of them, and will try to bury them (lower Fi) rather than embracing them. INTJs will often repress their feelings, to the point that they question whether they have feelings at all. The main way that an INTJ's F function shows up is through principles. INTJs often have resolute principles and moral standards that they refuse to budge from.
INFJs will be more visibly emotional (Fe), while INTJs will be the people who have a resting-hate-face that doesn't accurately portray what they're feeling.
Inferior Se presents a likely annoyance towards traditions, however, INxJs handle this annoyance differently.
I have a loathing for traditions that is much Fi is more pronounced than my INFJ roommate's minimum annoyance, because my Se is coupled with Fi and hers is coupled with Fe. FiSe is much more likely to make nonconformity into a strict moral code that is lived and embraced, whereas FeSe is likely to subconsciously maintain nonconformity if at all, but generally try to accommodate all people.
The INFJ will feel other people's emotions and be affected heavily by them. Often, the INFJ will even be weighed down by all the emotions they are carrying around with them. They will often internalise other people's feelings while misunderstanding their own feelings.
The INTJ will not feel other people's emotions, and although they will likely understand both their own feelings and the feelings of others, they will often detach from both. Thus…the sociopath stereotype. Rather, the INTJ prefers to understand emotion by analysing it logically.
Both types internalize emotion and are known to experience health problems as a result. Compare Kurt Wallander (INFJ) and Alex Hardy (INTJ) if you want examples of both types internalising stress.

2-4 Granny Smith or other crisp tart apples, sliced and soaking in lemon juice/water until ready to serve
This is the method is to make a layered dip, for a quick method see note below.
Line a six inch cake pan or springform pan with plastic wrap. Use enough plastic wrap to hang over the sides of the pan about 2 inches.
|Oh yeah, that's the stuff!
*Note: If you want to throw this together super fast, just spread all the cream cheese on a serving platter and top with the caramel, Heath bits, and the mini chocolate chips.
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla (or 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 teaspoons bourbon)
pinch of sea salt
Place sugar in a small heavy sauce pan. Pour water evenly over the top. Turn stove top to medium-high heat. Hold sauce pan by the handle and swirl occasionally until sugar has dissolved. Turn heat to high, and boil until syrup turns brown around the edges of the pan, about 6-8 minutes. Swirl the syrup occasionally until it turns a deep amber and just begins to smoke.
Remove pan from heat. Add butter and whisk, until all butter is mixed in. Stir in cream. Take care adding the butter and cream as the caramel will boil up and sputter quite a bit.
If sauce has any lumps, set pan over low heat and stir until smooth then turn off heat again.
Stir in vanilla and salt.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) Visitors to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson will soon have a chance to watch how the museum restores space artifacts and replicates space equipment.
The Cosmosphere is building a glassed-in, air-conditioned viewing area to allow visitors to watch the museum's SpaceWorks division.
In the past, Spaceworks employees have restored a Titan rocket, a World War II era German rocket and built replicas of space equipment for movies and other museums. But that work was done in private.
The Hutchinson News reports the viewing area will cost about $50,000 and is expected to be completed by March 21.
Cosmosphere CEO Dick Hollowell says SpaceWorks isn't currently working on a major project but it has bids out on $4 million in projects.

First isolated in June 2012 in the city of Jeddah,
Mers has infected at least 77 people and killed at
least 40 of them. Now, the deadly virus has
prompted global battle plans. By Eryn Brown
In a war room of sorts in a neatly appointed government building, US officers dressed in crisp uniforms arranged themselves around a U-shaped table and kept their eyes trained on a giant screen. PowerPoint slides ticked through the latest movements of an enemy that recently emerged in Saudi Arabia — a mysterious virus that has killed more than half of the people known to have been infected.
Here at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, experts from the US Public Health Service and their civilian counterparts have been meeting twice a week since the beginning of June to keep tabs on the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus. Mers-CoV, as the pathogen is known, causes fevers, severe coughs and rapid renal failure as it attacks the lungs of victims.
Since it was first isolated in June 2012 in the city of Jeddah, Mers has infected at least 77 people and killed at least 40 of them. The number of confirmed cases has quadrupled since April, and patients have been sickened as far away as Tunisia and Britain. Most troubling to health experts are reports of illnesses in patients who have not been to the Middle East.
The virus has not yet emerged in the US, and perhaps it never will. But in July and August, towards the end of the holy month of Ramadan, around 11,000 American Muslims will travel to the Arabian Peninsula. In the meantime, millions more will fly between continents, citizens of today's globalised world.
"A person from New York could go to Saudi Arabia for business and carry the virus home on the way back," said Matthew Frieman, a virologist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. "There's zero reason why that couldn't happen."
Many of the scientists working to understand Mers are veterans of the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or Sars. A previously unknown coronavirus — a sphere-shaped virus spiked with proteins that make it look like it has a corona, or halo — jumped from its bat hosts and started infecting and killing people in China and Hong Kong.
By July 2003, more than 8,400 people around the world had become ill with Sars, which spread rapidly in hospitals. There were no fatalities in the US, but the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned travellers to avoid Toronto after 16 deaths there.
The epidemic was over within a year thanks to effective infection-control practices like wearing masks, identifying patients quickly and treating their symptoms promptly. By then, more than 800 people had died and local economies suffered $30bn in losses, according to WHO estimates.
Scientists hadn't thought coronaviruses, known for causing colds and stomach woes, could be so dangerous. After Sars, they started taking the viruses seriously. So when a coronavirus killed the patient in Jeddah, researchers pounced. "We've always speculated that there could be another outbreak that could be as lethal as Sars," Frieman said.
Teams around the world starting sequencing the virus' genetic code. They determined that Mers must have emerged sometime in 2011.
Other researchers kept track of Mers victims. They reported sporadic cases in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, then in England, France and Italy, where patients had gone to seek medical treatment. Most of the victims were men, and many already had problems like heart disease and diabetes that may have contributed to their illnesses.
Epidemiologists started noticing clusters of Mers cases in families and in hospitals, in people who had close contact with victims. That made researchers worry that the virus might evolve to spread more easily from person to person — a prerequisite for a pandemic.
One such instance was described in May in the medical journal Lancet. It began in mid-April with a 64-year-old man who had diabetes and had received a kidney transplant in 1998.
Five days after travelling from Dubai to France, he developed a cough and breathing problems and was admitted to a hospital in Valenciennes, where he shared a room with a 51-year-old man being treated for a blood clot in a vein in his arm.
After three days, the older patient was transferred to an intensive care unit, where his respiratory symptoms worsened and his kidneys began to fail.
Doctors began to suspect Mers on May 1, and their suspicions were confirmed about a week later. The patient died of multiple organ failure.
Meanwhile, the younger man was discharged from the hospital on April 30 but started having respiratory troubles about a week later. He had a history of heart disease, and his bed had been five feet away from the patient with Mers. He was admitted to an intensive care unit, where tests revealed he was infected with the same virus. He developed a fever, and his lungs and kidneys began to fail. He spent several weeks in the intensive care unit and was still alive when the report was published in May 29.
By the end of May, health officials had identified a particularly large cluster of 26 people who fell ill in Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahsa region, as well as smaller clusters in Britain, Italy and Tunisia.
That uptick may have reflected a surge in infections and deaths — or perhaps just health workers doing a better job of testing and reporting new cases, said Dr Ian Lipkin, an epidemiologist at Columbia University in New York.
"We don't know: Is it new information, or is it information we should have had before?" he said.
There are many important details about Mers that scientists haven't yet been able to figure out.
For instance, researchers think that Mers, like Sars, comes from bats — but they aren't entirely certain. They also don't know whether the virus spreads to pets or livestock before it strikes people or how it would do so, said Christian Drosten, head of the Institute of Virology at the University of Bonn Medical Center in Germany.
Scientists are still perfecting their methods to test for the virus in ailing patients. Swabs from nasal passages and throats don't seem to pick up the pathogen as well as samples from deep in the lungs. Experts don't know how many people may have been infected with Mers without getting sick from it, Drosten said.
Researchers also need a more complete understanding of the health problems the Mers victims had before they got sick, Frieman said, adding that the information would "crucially affect" the work in his lab.
Public health officials, meanwhile, are readying their response on the ground. The World Health Organisation is tracking the outbreak. In June, representatives from the United Nations agency travelled to Saudi Arabia to review the response to Mers, including stepped-up efforts to identify infected people and new measures to prevent infections in hospitals.
The CDC response team is working with other countries and with medical facilities in the US to make sure procedures are in place to combat Mers. Hospitals have received guidelines for assessing and isolating patients to keep the virus contained.
"If there are cases that come to the US, we want to be well-prepared to address them," said CDC Director Dr Thomas Frieden.
During the briefing in the CDC boardroom, the response team briskly considered a variety of issues: Which states have labs to test for Mers? How were scientists the National Institutes of Health prioritising different types of Mers research? Would it be feasible to create a video about Mers to screen on flights arriving from overseas? Could social media help alert people to the potential danger?
Mers has been suspected in about 40 people in the US, but tests revealed that none had the virus. Even if that luck holds, experts insist that their efforts to understand Mers — and to bring the international community into the fold to combat it — are an investment in the future, when another mysterious pathogen starts sickening people.
"This is the type of emerging infection we will inevitably see more of," Frieden said. — Los Angeles Times/MCT

As I was watching the news yesterday, I saw a scroll on the bottom of the TV screen saying that QVC had broken ties with Paula Deen. As someone who loves to cook and has followed chefs and their shows/books/etc. like I follow my favorite rock stars, I've been thinking quite a bit about this whole Paula Deen conundrum. And I've come to the conclusion that right now, in America, there are two kinds of people: The people who are saying "good riddance" and the people who think we're all being really mean and unfair to our collective southern grandma.
The "grandma" aspect is part of the problem. We think of her as "America's southern grandma," and some folks are taking her fall from grace very personally. Because she's on TV cooking our own grandma's favorite dishes, and because we associate food so much with memories and nostalgia, I think some of us actually see her as being part of the family. Which is why this is hitting people, especially people here in the South, so hard. The South is proud of its heroes and doesn't take too well to people calling them names. And hey, I understand that, but in this case, I think it might be best if we just let go. At least for now.
I used to be a fan, I'll admit it. I loved Paula Deen and watched every episode of her first few seasons on the Food Network. I loved her because she – which I'm sure is the same with millions of other Americans – cooked the kind of food that my grandmother cooked, which was near and dear to my heart. After my grandmother was too sick to cook much anymore, I wanted to make sure that I had all her recipes down so that I'd never forget them. And now that she's passed away, I'll make pot roast or stuffed peppers the way she did, or use her tricks for perfect mashed potatoes to feel like I was back in the kitchen with her.
Paula made the same kinds of pies and the same kinds of vegetables that my grandma did (i.e. the starchy ones), and she also used real butter, like my grandma did in the '80s when everyone else used that damn margarine.
I've also brought a few dishes made from Paula's recipes to parties that have been devoured and raved about. There were the "chocolate peanut butter gooey butter cakes" that inspired a few guys to beg me to go out with them back in the day. And then there's her grits recipe, which I still use when I haven't been to the grocery store in forever and all I have in my kitchen is a bag of corn grits and maybe a few raisins. But it's more of a ratio than a recipe.
She also kind of influenced my "kitchen speech" because I swear I can't say "spatula" anymore. I automatically say "spatular," mainly because I think it sounds cool, like a kitchen tool you'd use in space.
But for the most part, I've been over Paul Deen for a while now. Especially as she became less of a relatable southern home cook and more of a cringe-inducing caricature of her former self. Overexposed. Over-saturated. Her face used to schlep everything like pots and pans, processed Walmart cakes, Smithfield ham and their questionable practices, as well as custom eyeglasses and bedroom furniture, of all things. And she finally totally lost me as a fan when after years of promoting ungodly amounts of sugar and butter in her recipes, she came out as being a diabetic. And it wasn't even the fact that she was a diabetic and still put a pound of powdered sugar in most of her food for the camera, but the fact that she had kept quiet about it for so long and only went public after endorsing a diabetes drug. That was it. I was done.
Fast-forward to a few weeks ago and the debate about her use of that word kind of blew up. After reading many a comment section on articles about the scandal (and the subsequent time I spent in a corner rocking myself back and forth) here are a few of the conclusions that I've come to:
1. The media isn't doing a very good job at telling the whole story. They have boiled the whole thing down to her use of a racial slur long ago. It's so much more than that. If you're going to go on a Facebook tirade about the Food Network firing a sweet old lady who used the "N" word 20 years ago, then do everyone a favor and read a little further.
2. Paula Deen might remind you of your grandma, but she's not actually your grandma. Paula Deen is a gazillionaire and she's going to be okay.
3. The old stock-excuse for using racial slurs because "they were from a different time" is not going to cut it anymore. It's going the way of the Dodo.
And in closing, if you haven't read it yet, I urge you to read An Open Letter to Paula Deen by Michael W. Twitty, a culinary historian who writes a pretty fascinating blog about the origins of southern food. It's honest and sincere and not a bit mean-spirited, which is quite a relief after everything I've read on the subject.

Turkish lawyers jailed for militant links
January 22, 2013
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's state-run news agency says a court has charged nine lawyers, including prominent human rights defenders, with membership in an outlawed leftist militant group and ordered them arrested pending trial.
The lawyers were detained last week in a nationwide police crackdown on people allegedly linked to the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, which advocates a Marxist state and has claimed responsibility for a number of assassinations and bombings since the 1970s. The group has been relatively quiet in recent years.
Close to 70 other people also were detained for questioning in the sweep.
Anadolu Agency said the lawyers charged Monday include Selcuk Kozagacli, head of a lawyers' association.
Human rights groups frequently accuse Turkey of using its broad-based anti-terrorism laws to jail activists and journalists and of curbing freedoms.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Seated at a solitary desk in the hall outside a classroom, the slender 13-year-old boy with a smile like a sunrise earnestly does remedial algebra, assisted by a paid tutor. She, too, is 13. Both wear the uniform -- white polo shirt, khaki slacks -- of a school that has not yet admitted the boy. It will, because he refuses to go away.
The son of Indian immigrants from Mexico, the boy decided he is going to be a doctor, heard about the American Indian Public Charter School here and started showing up. Ben Chavis, AIPCS' benevolent dictator, told the boy that although he was doing well at school, he was not up to the rigors of AIPCS, which is decorated with photographs of the many students it has sent to the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth. So the boy asked, what must I do?
Telling young people what they must do is what Chavis does. With close- cropped hair and a short beard flecked with gray, he looks somewhat like Lenin, but is less democratic. A Lumbee Indian from North Carolina, he ran track, earned a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona, got rich in real estate ("I wanted to buy back America and lease it to the whites") and decided to fix the world, beginning with AIPCS.
Founded in 1996, it swiftly became a multiculturalists' playground where much was tolerated and little was learned. Chavis arrived in 2000 to reverse that condition. Charter schools are not unionized, so he could trim the dead wood, which included all but one staff member.
David Whitman, in his book "Sweating the Small Stuff: Inner-City Schools and the New Paternalism," reports that in Chicago, from 2003 through 2006, just three of every 1,000 teachers received an "unsatisfactory" rating in annual evaluations; in 87 "failing schools" -- with below average and declining test scores -- 69 had no teachers rated unsatisfactory; in all of Chicago, just nine teachers received more than one unsatisfactory rating and none of them was dismissed. Chavis' teachers come from places such as Harvard, Dartmouth, Oberlin, Columbia, Berkeley, Brown and Wesleyan.
AIPCS is one of six highly prescriptive schools Whitman studied, where "noncognitive skills" -- responsible behaviors such as self-discipline and cooperativeness -- are part of the cultural capital the curriculum delivers. Many inner-city schools feature a monotonous chaos of disruption. AIPCS -- Oakland's highest performing middle school -- stresses obligation, not self-expression. Chavis, now "administrator emeritus," is adamant: "Everyone says we should 'preserve our culture.' There is a lot of our culture we should wipe out."
A visitor to an AIPCS classroom notices that the children do not notice visitors. Students are taught to sit properly -- no slumping -- and keep their eyes on the teacher. No makeup, no jewelry, no electronic devices. AIPCS' 200 pupils take just 20 minutes for lunch and are with the same teacher in the same classroom all day. Rotating would consume at least 10 minutes, seven times a day. Seventy minutes a day in AIPCS' extra-long 196-day school year would be a lot of lost instruction. The school does not close for Columbus Day, Martin Luther King Day or Cesar Chavez Day.
Every student takes four pre-AP (advanced placement) classes. There are three weeks of summer math instruction, three hours of homework a night. Seventh-graders take the SAT. College is assumed.
Paternalism is the restriction of freedom for the good of the person restricted. AIPCS acts in loco parentis because Chavis, who is cool toward parental involvement, wants an enveloping school culture that combats the culture of poverty and the streets.
He and other practitioners of the new paternalism -- once upon a time, schooling was understood as democracy's permissible, indeed obligatory, paternalism -- are proving that cultural pessimists are mistaken: We know how to close the achievement gap that often separates minorities from whites before kindergarten and widens through high school. A growing cohort of people possess the pedagogic skills to make "no excuses" schools flourish.
Unfortunately, powerful factions fiercely oppose the flourishing. Among them are education schools with their romantic progressivism -- teachers should be mere "enablers" of group learning; self-esteem is a prerequisite for accomplishment, not a consequence thereof. Other opponents are the teachers' unions and their handmaiden, the Democratic Party. Today's liberals favor paternalism -- you cannot eat trans fats; you must buy health insurance -- for everyone except children. Odd.

Helping Hand
Luxury that won't break the bank
When constructing a custom-built car from the ground up, serious consideration and planning of creature comforts should weigh high on the list of important initial details. This statement should be more than obvious to everyone, but sometimes important details get overlooked during the excitement of finishing a project. However, deciding you should have installed some sort of gadget(s), and are now left with the daunting task of installing something in and around new upholstery, and/or paint, can turn a fun project into pure aggravation. Don't let this happen to you. It's nice to be able to bang around and scratch the primer while you work now and again. Once that finished paint is applied, drilling, cutting, and wrenching become a very scary proposition.
With that said, let's take a look at one of the cool aftermarket options available today. Dakota Digital's new Heavy Duty Trunk Lift Kit is actually a compact electric screwdrive actuator. The LACT-kit can be ordered in 6-, 8-, or 10-inch travel lengths. All three are rated to 110 pounds of lifting force and come with all the necessary wiring and mounting hardware. Dakota also offers a 12-inch lift with 250 pounds of lifting force for the extremely heavy stuff. For our purposes, we chose the 10-inch lift, which when fully extended reaches 24.25 inches, and when fully retracted shortens to 14.25 inches. Since these lifts have built-in limit switches, you won't have to worry about someone over-extending the trunk lid by not paying enough attention. With 110 pounds of lifting force, you can imagine a set of hinges being ripped right out of the body, or at the very least mangled into trash without the aid of the built-in limit stops.
As far as mounting one of these lifts, there just isn't much to it. After you have made the most important decision concerning space requirements, the next important step is to determine which lift will operate with the proper extension and retraction lengths. This is where you will need to give or take slightly, with regards to how far your trunk lid swings open. This is why careful planning and consideration are very important before ordering a lift for your ride. Also, we should mention that these lifts are perfect for hoods, doors, or any other swinging parts of your ride. With all that determined prior to installation, physically mounting these lifts requires a drill, a couple of drill bits, an Allen wrench, and a tape measure. Better yet, check out the installation photos and captions to see how easy it is to get a little lift.

I apologize for the lack of update. Let me recap the last few months of 2012 that I have completely missed blogging about.
Okay, let me see…
We attended a Halloween Party at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills.
Daffy Duck, Scooby Doo and Bug's Bunny were there. There were tons of activities for children, things to see and freebies. Even hubby and I had so much fun!
We used our second visit to Legoland and it was so worth it! I love it there!
My Grandma came to visit and the children fell in love with her immediately. I miss her already.
More than ever, I'm learning to be even more thankful of every single thing that I have, no matter how small. It was a great Thanksgiving!
The hubby took the kids to an amazing park called Vincent Lugo Park. The kids had a blast!
The hubby and I got to dress up to attend a cocktail party in Studio City.
I turned 35 and decided to celebrate at work by wearing Hello Kitty for a day LOL
The kid's watched The Fresh Beat Band live in concert as an early Christmas present.
We moved…
My daughter was the STAR in their Christmas play.
My son received an Academic Effort Award in school.
He was also a hit in his School Talent Show.
We were able to enjoy Christmas in our new home.
The kid's had an after Christmas treat in Kidspace.
My parents took the kids to San Francisco to watch Lion King the Musical
My hubby turned 35 as well.
Hubby was home for New Year's Eve to celebrate with us, yay!

After a five-year review process, members of the American Anthropological Association have approved a rigorous overhaul of their ethics code. The code offers guidance to anthropologists as to how they should conduct themselves in professional and academic settings, in collecting and disseminating research data, and in their relationships with research subjects, colleagues and students. The new document, titled "Statement on Ethics: Principles of Professional Responsibility," strengthens the previous ethics code, adapts it to the digital age, and makes use of a fundamentally new format. Members were given six weeks to vote on the code, which was approved by an overwhelming 93 percent of those who voted.
The first AAA ethics code was written in 1971, in response to controversies over the Vietnam War. Where previous AAA ethics codes resembled straightforward legal codes, the new Principles of Professional Responsibility take the form of a hyperlinked living document in a simple, user-friendly format. While still offering guidance for ethical conduct in the form of general principles, the new document features embedded hypertext links to pertinent case study materials, reference documents, websites and articles. The Statement has a series of references after each defining principle to allow the readers to find further sources of information and data. These resources give readers a richer sense of the context of the ethics code and of specific dilemmas anthropologists have faced in their work.
The Principles of Professional Responsibility are built around seven basic organizing principles: do no harm, be open and honest regarding your work, obtain informed consent and necessary permissions, weigh competing ethical obligations due collaborators and affected parties, make your results accessible, protect and preserve your records, and maintain respectful and ethical professional relationships.
This revision of the ethics code has its origins in the controversy over U.S. Army human terrain teams five years ago. In response to that controversy the AAA convened a Task Force on Comprehensive Ethics Review, chaired by Dena Plemmons (UCSD). The membership of that Task Force was carefully chosen to represent the different sub-disciplines of anthropology as well as a range of opinions on anthropological work for the military. The recommendations of the Task Force were passed forward to the AAA Executive Board, which created a separate review group led by Hugh Gusterson (George Mason U) and Monica Heller (U Toronto). This committee finalized the version accepted by the Executive Board in April and approved by the membership in October.
"The effort to revise our ethics code, undertaken over several years, involved outreach to the entire membership and negotiation with our many different subdisciplines, communities and interests to produce a document that would be useful for teaching and practice," AAA President Leith Mullings said in a statement released today. "This document is the result of intense discussion between biological anthropologists, archaeologists, linguistic anthropologists, cultural anthropologists and applied anthropologists. I look forward to the stewardship of this document by our Committee on Ethics, which will facilitate discussion and update the hyperlinked resources as conditions change".
