While the earliest evidence of organized running can be traced back to Egypt in 3800 BCE, the modern sport of track and field evolved from rural games and church and folk festivals, and rules were drawn up in the final quarter of the 19th century in those advanced societies where enough people had the leisure time to indulge their fancies. Today, in addition to the running events, track and field includes such events as the high jump, pole vault, long jump, shot, discus, javelin, hammer, and decathlon. The Historical Dictionary of Track and Field covers the history of this sport through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on key figures, places, competitions, and governing bodies within the sport. This book is an excellent access point for researchers, students, and anyone wanting to know more about the history of track and field.

Robots, in a few years or so, will not be such a foreign object in our lives anymore, and so many are already having emotional responses to these otherwise non-sentient things in their lives / Photo by: DLR German Aerospace Center via Wikimedia Commons
Robots, in a few years or so, will not be such a foreign object in our lives anymore, and so many are already having emotional responses to these otherwise non-sentient things in their lives.
According to 42-year-old marketing and customer service director in Bedford, Texas Christal White, in an interview with The Denver Post, she had love in her heart for their robot Jibo, the humanoid robot in their house that danced with her sometimes and did word games with her. At first, it was an odd relationship. She felt it bothered her work, especially since the robot would sometimes interrupt her conference calls.
But when news arrived via Jibo itself that it would be shutting down because of the maker having levied the product in his collapsing business, White was surprisingly devastated by the news.
"My heart broke," she said. "It was like an annoying dog that you don't really like because it's your husband's dog. But then you realize you actually loved it all along."
It's not as bizarre, though, after all, humans have always been known to form bonds with the most unusual things and the most unusual people. What makes this story have gravity is the fact that White had felt this with a robot that she more or less always had around, whereas even those who were not as "connected" to robots like the Mars Opportunity rover still somehow felt the same way.
It turns out, it's not that hard to crack the code. According to Julie Carpenter, a researcher who focuses on this exact oddity, humans tend to feel a connection to robots even if they're technically not "alive" when these robots have "something resembling a face" or a body that "resembles those of humans or animals" (evident in the collective world eventually calling the Mars Opportunity "space doggo"), or appears "self-directed, such as a Roomba robot vacuum."
Carpenter said humans had a tendency to think this mainly because humans associate self-direction with a manifestation of autonomy; therefore, there must be something in the robot that gives it purpose or goals, like humans do.

It appears investors are celebrating tax day by taking the day off. Okay, I'm just kidding on that end … but futures are forecasting only slight movement in the S&P and Dow … though as the day goes on that will surely change.
We seem to focus so much on the U.S. markets that other areas tend to get lost in the shuffle. I mention this because it seems that (according to Daily Shot) the Chinese economy has been rebounding strongly … and it seemed like a good time to, once again, mention the wisdom in diversification … holding investments throughout the globe.
What brought this immediately to mind? The University of Michigan Sentiment Index for April showed an unexpected decline. Are people starting to feel that the U.S. market party might be winding down after years of celebration?
Even so, the President feels market returns could have been much better … and (per the first story below) mentioned that the Dow should be as much as 37% higher (but an inept Fed, of course, has been holding us back).
Some feel that making a move toward any of our branches having too much control over actions by the Fed could put us on a slippery slope … although claims that the Fed has always been independent might not hold water as Forbes pointed out in a March article many instances where the White House seemed to control decision makers at the Fed.
The past weekend had a lot of exciting things going on in the way of entertainment … with Game of Thrones … the Masters (wow!) … and Billions … in my view …might have been the best episode yet.
But many were finishing up their taxes … as, alas, today is "tax day" … and those filings are due.
An interesting article in Politico claims that a majority of Americans don't feel they received a tax cut at all, although a few independent groups conclude they did. So here we are … the Republicans will try hard to convince us we are better off by tax reform … while the Democrats try just as hard to convince us we've been sold a bill of goods.
… and those of us who pay attention will find the constant fighting quite taxing indeed.


"Never before had President Barack Obama put the moral force and political muscle of his presidency behind an issue quite this big — and lost quite this badly," says Politico.
"The president...broke his own informal "Obama Rule" of never leaning into an issue without a clear path to victory — first by pushing for a massive gun control package no one expected to pass, and then sticking through it even as he retrenched to a relatively modest bipartisan bill mandating national background checks on gun purchases. It was a bitter defeat for a president accustomed to winning, a second-term downer that may foreshadow the slow decline suffered by so many of his predecessors." Read it all.

2 – GABF is actually 2 events – a massive beer judging competition, and a massive-er beer festival held at the Colorado Convention Center.
800 – number of attendees at the first GABF in 1982 (in Boulder, not Denver). That number no doubt included a healthy dose of leg warmers and Benetton shirts.
49,000 – number of attendees the festival has been capped at since 2009. It sold out again this year.
42 – number of minutes GABF took to sell out this year. That's almost 20 tickets per second.
22, 40 – number of breweries and beers poured at the original event.
700, 3,500 – number of breweries and beers being poured at this year's event.
4,809 – total number of beers entered for judging last year, a 12% increase from 2012.
V12 – Our booth number at GABF this year. Come see us!

What are the categories that you entering in to? ie. why 3- IPA's and 3-Porters etc. What influenced the decision to pour 3 IPA's? I'm glad to see Jade being poured, I hope the folks out west find this jewel as lovely as I do.
we sort of follow the NFL draft rule; go with the best player available. These were, in our opinion, the best beers to submit.

Country Portfolio Study (CPS) El Salvador
El Salvador began receiving GEF support in 1994 with investments around $11.4 million and $22.7 million in co-financing (data as of end of 2010). Eleven national projects have been funded by the GEF that include six projects in biodiversity, three in climate change, one in POPs, and one multifocal project.
Full Report: English - Volume 1 | Spanish - Volume 2
In 2011, the Evaluation Office of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) conducted two country portfolio studies in El Salvador and Jamaica. Both studies were performed in collaboration with parallel evaluations by the United Nations Development Programme's Evaluation Office. Country portfolio studies are a new instrument for the GEF country-level evaluation work. As collaborative efforts, they enable more informed evaluation reporting, a lower evaluation burden on the countries, and cost savings.
The fourth annual impact report contains updates on the evaluation of GEF Biodiversity projects in Peru undertaken in collaboration with the Independent Evaluation (IEG) group of the World Bank. The evaluation aims to assess the impact of GEF support on Biodiversity, environmental stress reduction, and the socioeconomic status of local communities.
Country Portfolio Evaluation (CPE) Brazil
Brazil's participation in the GEF started during the GEF pilot phase in 1991. There are 45 national projects in the GEF Brazil portfolio, which together total $336 million with $ 1 billion of co-financing. In addition to national projects, Brazil participates in 14 regional and 21 global GEF projects, addressing all of the GEF focal areas, with the exception of land degradation. The Brazil Country Portfolio Evaluation (1991-2011) was completed in June 2012 and presented to the GEF Council the same month as a part of the Annual Country Portfolio Evaluation Report 2012 (ACPER 2012).
Review of the GEF Earth Fund 2011
The review of the Global Environment Facility Earth Fund was conducted from June to August 2010. The review included four areas of assessment: compliance with Council decisions, review of earth fund activities, engagement with the private sector and the efficiency of the Earth Fund. The GEF Earth Fund derives from the Public-Private Partnership Initiative established in 2007 as part of an effort to enhance engagement with the private sector. In 2008, the Public-Private Partnership Initiative was renamed the Earth Fund and was restructured to leverage private sector funding.
GEF Strategic Priority for Adaptation 2010
In November 2008 the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Council asked the GEF Evaluation Office to carry out an evaluation of the GEF Strategic Priority for Adaptation (SPA) pilot program. The evaluation was conducted fully and independently by the GEF Evaluation Office with support from the GEF Secretariat, GEF Agencies, governments, and civil society organizations
Country Portfolio Study (CPS) Jamaica
Jamaica has received financial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) since 1994. The GEF has invested roughly $11.86 million in Jamaica and $42.09 million in co-financing (data as of end of 2010). The Jamaica Country Portfolio Study covered the full-range of GEF-financed interventions, including national projects and Jamaican elements of regional and global projects.
GEF Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Policy 2010
The GEF Monitoring and Evaluation Policy provides norms and standards for the GEF Secretariat and the GEF Independent Evaluation Office. The policy contains minimum requirements for M&E for GEF-funded activities covering project design, application of M&E at the project level, and project evaluation.
The GEF Council approved the revised M&E Policy in November 2010.
Full Report: English | French | Spanish
The GEF Sixth Annual Performance Report (APR) 2009, presented and prepared by the GEF Evaluation Office, focuses on completed projects for which terminal evaluations were submitted during fiscal year 2009 (FY 2009). The full report provides an assessment of project outcomes, project sustainability, project completion delays, materialization of cofinancing, and the quality of monitoring in completed projects. The report's main focus is on terminal evaluations from 55 projects submitted in FY2009, accounting for $208 million in GEF funding.
Country Portfolio Evaluation (CPE) Moldova
Moldova has been receiving funds from the GEF since 1994 via 14 national projects in the biodiversity, climate change, international waters and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) focal areas. Moldova was seen as a good choice for evaluation due to its large and diverse portfolio and the fact it has received group allocations under the Resource Allocation Framework (RAF) and also participates in Black Sea and Danube River regional projects. Main findings and recommendations of the Moldova Country portfolio Evaluation were presented to the GEF Council as a part of the Annual Country Portfolio Evaluation 2010 (ACPER 2010).
