A GREAT CHEF IS
patient in the kitchen
DUDE, SWEET CHOCOLATE
If there's one thing that Katherine Clapner's chocolate creations prove is that there's a fine line between creativity and madness. After working in kitchens around the world, all roads led this classically-trained pastry chef back home to Texas. She opened her first chocolate shop in Dallas in 2009 and she's been thriving ever since. It's here that her twisted genius takes flight and where the only rules that apply are nobody's rules but her own.
Meet the outlaw
"To me, defining the Edgë is all about defying definitions and educating with passion. That's what it's about, changing perceptions and turning people on to things that they wouldn't normally buy or taste. We always tell people to try something that sounds unusual or something that they've never heard of before because the end result is not nearly as weird as what it says on the label. It's there for a reason. The more people learn about other cultural cuisines and about how other ingredients are paired, the better it is for all chefs."
Katherine's required reading
"The New International Confectioner: Confectionery, Cakes, Pastries, Desserts and Ices, Savouries by Wilfred J. Fance "Terrible photographs. Supreme techniques. It's been out of print for 50 years, but it's the be-all and end-all of all things pastry. My father bought it for me over 15 years ago and it cost $250 even back then."
"Who the hell knows where it comes from? I certainly don't, but I'm happy it's still coming! Inspiration has come to me from my friends, from places I've visited, from folk art, music and movies. The names of my chocolates are a play on what's inside and are often named after some of my friends, Monty Python skits, and anything that pokes fun of pop culture."
Kathrine´s recommendations
Nakiri 17 cm / 7"
The Japanese vegetable knife: extremely versatile and suitable for tasks such as cutting, dicing or chopping. Its shape is reminiscent of a cleaver but should not be confused with it as a Nakiri is not suitable for rough tasks (such as splitting bones). The very sharp and finely ground blade is more designed to prep vegetables, herbs and fruit very quickly and finely. The dimpled edge of the knife (slight depressions in the blade that allow small pockets of air to form) prevents ingredients from sticking.
Cook's knife 20 cm / 8"
The all-rounder in the kitchen: the most important piece of basic equipment for every hobby and professional chef, the Cook's Knife is suitable for most tasks in the kitchen, for the widest variety of cutting and gripping techniques, it makes food prepping a pleasure.
Promotion discount
Paring knife 9 cm / 4"
Small, versatile knife with slim blade and plain edge: this Vegetable / Larding Knife is made for cutting onions and herbs and is also useful for chopping, cleaning and decorating fruits and vegetables. With its sharp, pointed blade, this Vegetable Knife also works well as a larding knife.
Bread knife 26 cm / 10"
A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut.
Fish fillet knife 16 cm / 6"
For use on fish, meat and fruit: while Boning Knives or Cleavers are more suitable for coarser tasks, especially for meat, the Filleting Knife, with its flexible blade, is particularly suitable for wafer-thin filleting. Precision cutting of meat, loosening the fish fillet from the skin or peeling fruit – these are the Fish Filleting Knife's special talents.
The chocolate coffin
It took 3 days and 40 pounds of chocolate, but Katherine made one man's dying wish come true — to be buried in a chocolate coffin.
Advice for aspiring chefs
"My advice for somebody getting started in this business would be to work everywhere you possibly can, and work as hard as you can because it only gets harder once it's yours. Learn by listening. If you want to really cook and excel, you have to learn to 'eat a lot of crow' and do it for the love, not the money, as that is reserved for a select."

Anhydrous ammonia tank locks have flaws
The Jones County Sheriff says Sunday night's anhydrous ammonia leak that threatened a town was not an accident.
Up to 850 gallons of anhydrous ammonia leaked from a tank at the River Valley Co-op near Olin. Emergency crews evacuated the town for almost five hours in the middle of the night. No one was injured.
Anhydrous ammonia is a common farm fertilizer. It's also a critical ingredient for making methamphetamine.
In 2005, the state used grant money to give out thousands of locks to prevent criminals from getting into the tanks. Those tanks are stored at co-ops, and on farm fields across the state. The locks are specifically designed from a company called Tanks-A-Lok.
"We had kinda a downtown and I think that was a state-wide downturn. Recently, within the last 9 to 12 months things are picking up again," said Jones County Sheriff Mark Denniston.
Each time a criminal tampers with a tank, Sheriff Denniston said there's a risk it could end up like Sunday.
"I've had Co-op people, as recently as today, tell me they wish they knew who it was so they could show them how they're getting around it. The lock will still be on the valve, but they'll get the valve turned," said Denniston.
KCRG-TV9 contacted the local distributor for the Tanks-A-Lok locks, and they said they've never heard of someone getting around the lock.
Sunday's leak happened at the River Valley Co-op, and locking the tank was a Tanks-A-Lok.
"They're not talking to the right people. All our tanks have locks on, but they're getting it out of there somehow," said Larry Lahr with River Valley Co-op.
The lock doesn't stop everyone, but law enforcement and co-op workers said the tool stops some.
"If you come up with a better way, we'll do it," said Lahr.
One idea to stop the criminals is to make the crime come with a harsher punishment.
Sheriff Denniston said he usually doesn't favor changing laws to enhance penalties, but he does support such a move for anhydrous ammonia.
Denniston said stealing a lottery ticket can be a felony, but causing what happened in Olin on Sunday night is only a simple misdemeanor.

Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson, Eleanor Matsuura
1 shot. 100 minutes. Broadcast live to cinemas worldwide. Woody Harrelson's ground-breaking experiment hits the big screen for everyone to enjoy.
Woody Harrelson's night in London quickly goes from bad to scandalous after a run in with a taxi driver causes him to become the target of a police hunt. But this isn't just any account of a commute gone wrong – it is cinematic history in the making.
On January 27, 2017, Woody Harrelson (No Country For Old Men) released the world's first film that was shot and broadcast live into theatres. The result is 100 minutes of continuous footage which features Harrelson and other famous faces like Owen Wilson (Who's Your Daddy?) and Willie Nelson as they navigate through a series of mishaps in the dark streets of London.
The screenplay, written by Harrelson, is based on the true events of his arrest after he caused a ruckus after a night out in Soho in 2002.
Critics, much to their own surprise, have given kudos to Harrelson for succeeding in creating an entertaining, eccentric and engaging experiment that has already delighted audiences in the US and the UK.
With commentary on the celebrity culture and a whole lot of whimsical antics thrown into the mix, Lost in London is a cinematic achievement, unlike anything you've ever seen before.

DS Wi-Fi Connection put to immediate use as nearly half of all Mario Kart purchasers kick the online service's tires in the first week of release.
When Nintendo released Mario Kart DS for its dual-screened portable system last week, it was also launching the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection wireless gaming service. By Nintendo's reckoning, both were a roaring success.
Nintendo today said that in the game's first week of release, more than 112,000 copies were sold. In addition, 45 percent of those who bought the game, around 52,000 gamers, logged onto the Wi-Fi Connection to play against each other.
Nintendo emphasizes the ease of use of the Wi-Fi Connection, which lets users connect to the service using wireless home networks and some Wi-Fi hotspots. Current titles supporting Wi-Fi play include Mario Kart DS, Tony Hawk's American Sk8land, Animal Crossing (due December 6), and Metroid Prime: Hunters (scheduled for a March 2006 release).


As many have heard, saxophonist Steve MacKay recently passed away. A legend in his own right, he is best known for his work with The Stooges, but his career far outlasted the 1970s punk wave. He collaborated with numerous other musicians, including FMA favorite R Stevie Moore.
He was a big fan of WFMU and appeared on Brian Turner's show, and also gave the FMA a few tracks. We've collected them below for you. The track "The Prisoner" features Iggy Pop and was offered to the Free Music Archive by Steve. Special thanks go to Scott Nydegger from Radon Collective who sorted out all the permissions when the song was given to us.
Years ago I first came in contact with the Radon label via my pal Marlon, hearing a live set by Italian avant-rock composer Daniele Brusachetto, learning about his fellow countrymen OvO and then finally being sent a pile of CDs (mostly samplers) from the transient Radon head Scott Nydegger coupled with frequent correspondences enthusiastically talking about the state of experimental music made us fast friends. As I got familiar with the many facets of this label, Scott made sure that I was introduced to everyone in his orbit, and what really impressed me most is that Radon dealt with its business and artists unlike few others. Everyone was scattered around the world, because Scott just floated around meeting people and putting the music out from wherever he was (as opposed to working out of an office and dealing with the biz); anyone who shared the vision was invited in and were all friends. Fractured breakcore from Ripit, industrial tubthumping from Sikhara (Scott's outfit), introspective psychedelic drone from Fabrizio Polumbo under the name (r), and glorious ascensions from Steve Mackay (saxman then and now for Iggy and the Stooges) all intermingled under the Radon umbrella.
Through the years quite a few units of the stable has landed in the WFMU studios on various shows; Mackay put out an LP backed by some heavyweight improvisers on Qbico called Tunnel Diner culled from sessions on my show and Acapulco Rodriguez's as well (some MP3's here). Koonda Holaa, aka Kamilsky, is an eccentric Czech ex-pat who holed up for years in the high Mojave and also visited FMU (check him out on the Free Music Archive, he's terrific) and actually landed surreal opening slot for the Stooges in Moscow a few years back. Now, Radon takes a break, but to celebrate a good decade, Scott invited me down to Jason LaFarge's Seizures Palace studio in Brooklyn (in the cavernous Gowanus space where Martin Bisi also made all those great Lydia Lunch, Sonic Youth and Swans records) and we recorded a full on American/Portuguese summit jam of Sikhara, HHY & Drums of Habnom and United Scum Soundclash. It's a gorgeous, free-flowing hour of microscopic sounds, Neubauten-esque tribal percussion blowouts, scabby sampling and a simple celebration of the joy of free sound in a gigantic room. I aired the program on December 29th, but you can grab this session below.
Please also boogie over to the Free Music Archive's Radon offerings. Much excellence to be found. Somewhat saddened to hear of the label's hiatus, but other imprints like Soopa and Urck seem to be picking up some of the slack with a similar level of vision and social circles.

See More Cons
Off-the-beaten-track and oozing Tican charm, this 22-room hotel is situated at the end of a scenic beach, within walking distance of Montezuma -- an area popular with surfers and dreadlocked expats. The property stretches across a lush rainforest nature preserve, where monkeys and exotic birds are common (so carry a camera at all times). Add in healthy breakfasts and dinners (both meals are included in the rates), and there isn't another place in Nicoya Peninsula like it. Simple accommodations include cozy Tent Cabins (without A/C) and romantic bungalows (with A/C) -- all come with empty mini-fridges. Guests also have use of an outdoor pool, spa, water sports, and an open-air yoga studio facing the sea. Free Wi-Fi and transfers to town are provided.

Oyster Hotel Review
Hotel Class:	Mid-Range
A cool atmosphere for families, and free-spirited couples will also find it very enchanting
A little culture shock is common when first arriving to the hotel -- scratch that, when first arriving to town. Teeming with young, attractive hippies types -- most wearing nothing but swimwear -- Montezuma suddenly appears into view at the bottom of a steep hill with a compact and slightly confusing layout. Guests are given the task of finding the restaurant in town that offers parking for Ylang Ylang, then a bartender will call for pick-up. In other words, getting to the destination is part of the travel adventure, especially when someone pulls up in a Mercedes Defender or dune buggy, drives along the beach (literally in the sand) past an expat tent city, before guests finally check in with a fresh fruit juice and cool towel.
Open since 1999, Ylang Ylang is now run by a second generation: the original owner's son and his yoga-instructor wife. Many of the talented staff (especially in the kitchen) have stayed on board for years and the vibe is both friendly and health-oriented. Tropical grounds and a wide sandy beach are scattered with hammocks and outdoor tables. Pathways -- some that turn into nature trails -- lead to the pool, spa, and rooms; walking along them reveal a multitude of exotic birds and small animals, many that seem unfamiliar.
Breakfast sees the most action, and this communal presence is a chance for guests to chat amongst each other before everyone spreads out to enjoy the open surroundings. Dinners (also included) turn romantic with candlelight. Families may go to bed early, while couples order drinks under the stars, or hoof it to town to check out the party scene. The hotel itself -- due to its yogi and honeymooner presence -- stays quiet at night, which is good for those who are focused on wellness. But many who stay here also know how to have their share of fun.
See More Scene
A wonderfully unique and rugged spot on the coast with white sand and nature trails, and also some nightlife
Montezuma -- in the very southwest corner of Nicoya Penisula -- is one of the most distinct travel destinations in Costa Rica, not only for the wildly steep hairpin turn that is required to arrive into town, but also the counter-culture environment that attracts even more new-age hippie types than other surf towns nearby. The hotel -- thankfully for many -- is at the end of the beach, which stays quieter than the hub and nearby tent city (where some expats sleep for free). However, this beach driveway is not accessible for guests with vehicles, and the unpaved, natural environment of the hotel does not offer parking to anyone. First-timers with luggage require a visit to a restaurant in Montezuma, where they can schedule pick-up via a sturdy 4x4 or dune buggy. Once arrived though, guests can enjoy several activities on-site; they can take nature trails, hike to Montezuma Waterfalls, or join a number of arranged excursions. Walking back and forth to town for laid-back restaurants and bars (no chains here) can be done in about 15 minutes. Therefore, unless guests are planning on doing some heavy exploring in the area, it is better not to have a car at all. If anything, it makes sense to rent an ATV for the day. Any longer, and they, like the cars, will have to stay in town parked at the restaurant.
Though it is not easy -- thereby keeping out conventional tourists who favor paved roads and bigger resorts -- there are a few different options for getting to this corner of the peninsula. One is to take a commuter plane from Liberia or San Jose International Airport into the smaller Tambor Airport, and then a 40-minute taxi to the hotel (some roads will be a rough). Another option is to take the ferry from Puntarenas to Tambor, though ferry times are not always reliable. Another ferry makes regular rounds between Jaco and Montezuma, though guests will have to get to Jaco first -- which is a two-hour drive west of San Jose.

Clean and authentic accommodations, though rates are raised to include meals
The are only 22 rooms, but spacious grounds and a wide beach make it feel much bigger than this. The hotel is popular with laid-back romantic couples (many honeymooners), families with kids, friends, siblings, and wedding parties -- therefore, it's not an easy reservation to secure, so it's best to book well in advance. All rooms -- even the tents -- have private bathrooms with showers, hot water, and empty mini-fridges, and include breakfast and dinner, daily, for two people. This helps allow the hotel to raise rates, which on their own -- without the meals (and all the other highlights) -- would feel a little steep for the room quality. Some might be put off by the patterned bedspreads, but they are clean and washed between guests.
Six Tent Cabins are located on the other side of the entrance, surrounded by coconut palms and mango trees. These have wooden floors and either two single beds or one King-sized bed, though no air-conditioning. Instead, large screens and fans work with the ocean breezes to keep guests cool. The Tent Cabins have front porches with small, slightly rustic bathrooms attached. Since the rooms are screened, noise from nearby tents may be audible.
A three-story building with Standard Rooms is located past the pool and have two Queen-sized beds and porches -- though these are the least authentic of the bunch, better for friends and families. Beach Front and Garden Bungalows are standalone units best suited for romantics, with one Queen-sized bed and neat -- almost retro -- pointed windows and a rounded layout in each. (The Colibri Bungalow can sleep up to four people.) A rare option for honeymooners is the Tree Top Canopy. This private retreat, reached via 50 stairs, has a wraparound screened-in porch and air-conditioned bedroom. There is a small kitchen with a fridge and utensils, but no stove.

A standout yoga deck with daily classes; no red meat at the restaurant
The location of Ylang Ylang is along a white sand beach with rocky areas and, sometimes, big waves. This might not be safe enough for kids to swim, but there are spots up and down that can be scouted for calmer waves -- though every so often, a big one might still make an appearance. Some areas are great for surfing and boogie boarding but be careful of those rocks (it's best to follow the locals). Also within walking distance (kinda) is Playa Grande, a deserted beach that can be reached in about a half hour.
In the center of the property is a peaceful outdoor pool with a waterfall and lounge chairs. This does not get very crowded, and drink and lunch service can be served here.
One of the highlights of the hotel is the yoga deck above the restaurant where there are daily classes for a fee. The completely wooden structure, on the second floor with incredible ocean views, is a jaw-dropper for yogis. Walk-in classes are open to everyone (Ylang Ylang guests and non-guests), and once in a while there is a yoga retreat. Since the studio is next to the resort hub, socializing might be a nuisance for those trying to concentrate.
All room rates include breakfast and a candlelit dinner for two in the restaurant, with two seating areas in the shade or on the terrace. There are a few tables on the lawn for a change of pace, or guests can arrange for beachside dining. Breakfast includes one dish, one natural juice, and coffee or tea. Dinner includes a main course and a natural juice. A children's menu is included for dinner only. Main courses include vegan and gluten-free options, along with sushi rolls, pastas, wraps, nachos, fresh fish, and chicken -- but no red meat. Items can be purchased á la carte for those who are still hungry after meals.
Natural juices are also highlights here, and the kitchen staff takes great pride in the local ingredients, like passion fruit and coconut milk, made daily. Every afternoon there's an extended happy hour with reduced prices on cocktails, wine, and beer.
The spa is located high in the trees and out of earshot. There are two treatment rooms in large screened-in tents separated by a staircase. One is for singles and one is for couples.
A gift shop near reception offers clothes, coffee, cold beverages and water sport rentals.
The hotel is eco-friendly to the core with strong recycling standards and solar panels that provide electricity for the rooms, restaurant and front desk.

I've always enjoyed juggernaut-style games – the pressure to survive while you're "it," desperately crushing opponents as quickly as possible, and the villainous comradery in ganging up to overwhelm that unanimously hated player. Naturally Powerhoof's local mulitplayer dungeoneering bloodbath presented itself as a promising way to quench my thirst when it entered Early Access on Steam nearly three years ago. Still in Early Access, the game is already fully functional, polished, and so much fun.
And when I say fun, I don't mean the kind of mind-numbing rinse-and-repeat kind of fun you'll get from many other button smashers. Crawl is visceral, tumultuous, hard-to-keep-up-with fun. It evokes an explosive sense of competition and engagement that plays differently every time – and is so dynamic that every single play session, win or lose, is worthwhile.
In Crawl, life is a privilege. While alive, players can gain precious experience by killing monsters; once they have enough, they can challenge the boss for a chance at total victory. This would be easy if not for the other players, whose primary goal is whittling the mortal down in hopes of landing the final blow that grants them humanity. Going through the game's wonderfully dramatic tutorial (featuring some boilerplate backstory and epic voice-over work) excited me at first, then started to bring concerns about playability to mind. Things like ghost players taking control of scenery, creating and controlling minions, and a player progression system that ties experience to "Wrath" for leveling up monsters… I couldn't help but think, "How is all this going to happen on one screen?" Then the brilliance of Crawl's design began to surface.
As I mentioned, players who aren't the mortal "juggernaut" exist in a ghost-like state: they don't collide with the environment and they can't die. There's always something for them to do, though, as elements in the environment can be possessed and aimed at the player – things like throwing a chair or spraying flames from a trap. To create a sort of balance and keep the game moving forward, nearly every action on the human's part affects everyone else. They can just destroy the scenery, for example, to prevent ghosts from possessing it, but this turns it into ectoplasm that lets ghosts spawn little slimes. Slimes are just one of several methods by which ghosts can impede the player from moving forward, as doors remain closed until all enemies are defeated. In this way, ghosts are constantly seeking ways to slow the human down and chip away at their health, and the little hits from objects and traps really add up.
But the core gameplay moments happen in rooms with monster spawners. Ghosts can go to them and be incarnated as a random monster within their set, giving them more of a fair fight against the human and access to a host of powerful abilities. Monsters die easily, but these rooms typically involve at least one human death as well – an intense transferal of a once-powerful player spilling their guts and another rising to humanity in a bright, booming moment that's all at once sinister and heroic. I play the game for these moments. Once with a bow-wielding centaur I nicked the human from across the room with a killing shot, while everyone else was hacking and slashing away to get it. Since then I've been comfortable yelling at the game and everyone playing it for whatever reason I see fit – and it feels good.
Struggle through several dungeons to gain and hold humanity, grab enough experience to reach level 10 with your human, make your way to the portal room without being obliterated, and the true challenge begins. The boss fight entails dodging several types of attacks (from a creature controlled by the other players) while looking for opportunities to stun and damage a massive slime-lord thing, complete with laser beam from the mouth, huge tentacles and a brain encased in glass. Defeating the boss means the whole game – which usually lasts around 30 minutes – is over, so this is where button smashing and real-world fighting get louder and more frequent. It's here that Crawl is distilled into its purest form: a torrid, treacherous tug-of-war where everyone's progressing but only one can win.
Powerhoof are working hard to add monsters, items and other varieties to Crawl, but my favorite thing about how they're developing it is that they've put functionality at the forefront of their Early Access experience. The game is already robust, beautiful to look at and features sound design that's properly arcade-style and brutally violent. For $15, this game is already a steal, and I can't wait to see it fleshed out to reach its full, gory glory.

Milford Sound is New Zealand's most famous tourist destination and tends to be crowded.
And it was a pretty amazing view. I didn't do a boat trip to see the sounds up close but the drive was well worh it. Alrighty and now back to Te Anau. Another 120km's and after that heading to the party and ski town called: QUEENSTOWN!
Could you please quantify the term "buttloads" for me, Jessica, lol. I always say 30 is the buttload number. 30 or more people is buttloads of people. I have friends, family and colleagues that argue that notion with me all the time, though.

The present paper assesses discourse-pragmatic factors as a potential explanation for the subject-object assymetry in early child language. It identifies a set of factors which characterize typical situations of informativeness (Greenfield & Smith, 1976), and uses these factors to identify informative arguments in data from four children aged 2;0 through 3;6 learning Inuktitut as a first language. In addition, it assesses the extent of the links between features of informativeness on one hand and lexical vs. null and subject vs. object arguments on the other. Results suggest that a pragmatics account of the subject-object asymmetry can be upheld to a greater extent than previous research indicates, and that several of the factors characterizing informativeness are good indicators of those arguments which tend to be omitted in early child language.

Particles are little words that speakers use to signal the illocutionary force of utterances and/or express their attitude towards elements of the communicative situation, e.g. the addresses. This paper presents an overview of the classification, meaning and use of utterance particles in Ewe. It argues that they constitute a grammatical word class on functional and distributional grounds. The paper calls for a cross-cultural investigation of particles, especially in Africa, where they have been neglected for far too long.

Human Molecular Genetics, 7(3), 571-578. doi:10.1093/hmg/7.3.571.
Autism is characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, and restricted and sterotyped patterns of interests and activities. Developmental difficulties are apparent before 3 years of age and there is evidence for strong genetic influences most likely involving more than one susceptibility gene. A two-stage genome search for susceptibility loci in autism was performed on 87 affected sib pairs plus 12 non-sib affected relative-pairs, from a total of 99 families identified by an international consortium. Regions on six chromosomes (4, 7, 10, 16, 19 and 22) were identified which generated a multipoint maximum lod score (MLS) > 1. A region on chromosome 7q was the most significant with an MLS of 3.55 near markers D7S530 and D7S684 in the subset of 56 UK affected sib-pair families, and an MLS of 2.53 in all 87 affected sib-pair families. An area on chromosome 16p near the telomere was the next most significant, with an MLS of 1.97 in the UK families, and 1.51 in all families. These results are an important step towards identifying genes predisposing to autism; establishing their general applicability requires further study.

This study reports three experiments on how children learning Mandarin Chinese comprehend and use aspect markers. These experiments examine the role of lexical aspect in children's acquisition of grammatical aspect. Results provide converging evidence for children's early sensitivity to (1) the association between atelic verbs and the imperfective aspect markers zai, -zhe, and -ne, and (2) the association between telic verbs and the perfective aspect marker -le. Children did not show a sensitivity in their use or understanding of aspect markers to the difference between stative and activity verbs or between semelfactive and activity verbs. These results are consistent with Slobin's (1985) basic child grammar hypothesis that the contrast between process and result is important in children's early acquisition of temporal morphology. In contrast, they are inconsistent with Bickerton's (1981, 1984) language bioprogram hypothesis that the distinctions between state and process and between punctual and nonpunctual are preprogrammed into language learners. We suggest new ways of looking at the results in the light of recent probabilistic hypotheses that emphasize the role of input, prototypes and connectionist representations.

Brown, P. (1998). Early Tzeltal verbs: Argument structure and argument representation. In E. Clark (Ed.), Proceedings of the 29th Annual Stanford Child Language Research Forum (pp. 129-140). Stanford: CSLI Publications.
The surge of research activity focussing on children's acquisition of verbs (e.g., Tomasello and Merriman 1996) addresses some fundamental questions: Just how variable across languages, and across individual children, is the process of verb learning? How specific are arguments to particular verbs in early child language? How does the grammatical category 'Verb' develop? The position of Universal Grammar, that a verb category is early, contrasts with that of Tomasello (1992), Pine and Lieven and their colleagues (1996, in press), and many others, that children develop a verb category slowly, gradually building up subcategorizations of verbs around pragmatic, syntactic, and semantic properties of the language they are exposed to. On this latter view, one would expect the language which the child is learning, the cultural milieu and the nature of the interactions in which the child is engaged, to influence the process of acquiring verb argument structures. This paper explores these issues by examining the development of argument representation in the Mayan language Tzeltal, in both its lexical and verbal cross-referencing forms, and analyzing the semantic and pragmatic factors influencing the form argument representation takes. Certain facts about Tzeltal (the ergative/ absolutive marking, the semantic specificity of transitive and positional verbs) are proposed to affect the representation of arguments. The first 500 multimorpheme combinations of 3 children (aged between 1;8 and 2;4) are examined. It is argued that there is no evidence of semantically light 'pathbreaking' verbs (Ninio 1996) leading the way into word combinations. There is early productivity of cross-referencing affixes marking A, S, and O arguments (although there are systematic omissions). The paper assesses the respective contributions of three kinds of factors to these results - structural (regular morphology), semantic (verb specificity) and pragmatic (the nature of Tzeltal conversational interaction).

Brown, P. (1998). Children's first verbs in Tzeltal: Evidence for an early verb category. Linguistics, 36(4), 713-753.
A major finding in studies of early vocabulary acquisition has been that children tend to learn a lot of nouns early but make do with relatively few verbs, among which semantically general-purpose verbs like do, make, get, have, give, come, go, and be play a prominent role. The preponderance of nouns is explained in terms of nouns labelling concrete objects beings "easier" to learn than verbs, which label relational categories. Nouns label "natural categories" observable in the world, verbs label more linguistically and culturally specific categories of events linking objects belonging to such natural categories (Gentner 1978, 1982; Clark 1993). This view has been challenged recently by data from children learning certain non-Indo-European languges like Korean, where children have an early verb explosion and verbs dominate in early child utterances. Children learning the Mayan language Tzeltal also acquire verbs early, prior to any noun explosion as measured by production. Verb types are roughly equivalent to noun types in children's beginning production vocabulary and soon outnumber them. At the one-word stage children's verbs mostly have the form of a root stripped of affixes, correctly segmented despite structural difficulties. Quite early (before the MLU 2.0 point) there is evidence of productivity of some grammatical markers (although they are not always present): the person-marking affixes cross-referencing core arguments, and the completive/incompletive aspectual distinctions. The Tzeltal facts argue against a natural-categories explanation for childre's early vocabulary, in favor of a view emphasizing the early effects of language-specific properties of the input. They suggest that when and how a child acquires a "verb" category is centrally influenced by the structural properties of the input, and that the semantic structure of the language - where the referential load is concentrated - plays a fundamental role in addition to distributional facts.

When Tzeltal children in the Mayan community of Tenejapa, in southern Mexico, begin speaking, their production vocabulary consists predominantly of verb roots, in contrast to the dominance of nouns in the initial vocabulary of first‐language learners of Indo‐European languages. This article proposes that a particular Tzeltal conversational feature—known in the Mayanist literature as "dialogic repetition"—provides a context that facilitates the early analysis and use of verbs. Although Tzeltal babies are not treated by adults as genuine interlocutors worthy of sustained interaction, dialogic repetition in the speech the children are exposed to may have an important role in revealing to them the structural properties of the language, as well as in socializing the collaborative style of verbal interaction adults favor in this community.

Learning a specific skill during childhood may partly determine the functional organization of the adult brain. This hypothesis led us to study oral language processing in illiterate subjects who, for social reasons, had never entered school and had no knowledge of reading or writing. In a brain activation study using PET and statistical parametric mapping, we compared word and pseudoword repetition in literate and illiterate subjects. Our study confirms behavioural evidence of different phonological processing in illiterate subjects. During repetition of real words, the two groups performed similarly and activated similar areas of the brain. In contrast, illiterate subjects had more difficulty repeating pseudowords correctly and did not activate the same neural structures as literates. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that learning the written form of language (orthography) interacts with the function of oral language. Our results indicate that learning to read and write during childhood influences the functional organization of the adult human brain.

Koriat (1981) demonstrated that an association from the target to a preceding prime, in the absence of an association from the prime to the target, facilitates lexical decision and referred to this effect as "backward priming". Backward priming is of relevance, because it can provide information about the mechanism underlying semantic priming effects. Following Neely (1991), we distinguish three mechanisms of priming: spreading activation, expectancy, and semantic matching/integration. The goal was to determine which of these mechanisms causes backward priming, by assessing effects of backward priming on a language-relevant ERP component, the N400, and reaction time (RT). Based on previous work, we propose that the N400 priming effect reflects expectancy and semantic matching/integration, but in contrast with RT does not reflect spreading activation. Experiment 1 shows a backward priming effect that is qualitatively similar for the N400 and RT in a lexical decision task. This effect was not modulated by an ISI manipulation. Experiment 2 clarifies that the N400 backward priming effect reflects genuine changes in N400 amplitude and cannot be ascribed to other factors. We will argue that these backward priming effects cannot be due to expectancy but are best accounted for in terms of semantic matching/integration.
Costa, A., Cutler, A., & Sebastian-Galles, N. (1998). Effects of phoneme repertoire on phoneme decision. Perception and Psychophysics, 60, 1022-1031.
In three experiments, listeners detected vowel or consonant targets in lists of CV syllables constructed from five vowels and five consonants. Responses were faster in a predictable context (e.g., listening for a vowel target in a list of syllables all beginning with the same consonant) than in an unpredictable context (e.g., listening for a vowel target in a list of syllables beginning with different consonants). In Experiment 1, the listeners' native language was Dutch, in which vowel and consonant repertoires are similar in size. The difference between predictable and unpredictable contexts was comparable for vowel and consonant targets. In Experiments 2 and 3, the listeners' native language was Spanish, which has four times as many consonants as vowels; here effects of an unpredictable consonant context on vowel detection were significantly greater than effects of an unpredictable vowel context on consonant detection. This finding suggests that listeners' processing of phonemes takes into account the constitution of their language's phonemic repertoire and the implications that this has for contextual variability.

Moving to a foreign country can be daunting, especially when leaving behind longtime friends and family. While your social circle is bound to be limited at first, you'll find Costa Ricans and the expat community to be very inviting and quite friendly. It shouldn't be long before you start seeing familiar faces all around town and feel right at home. Here are a couple of great places to meet people and start building your social network in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica has a wide selection of Spanish language schools located in almost every part of the country. Taking a Spanish course is an excellent way to learn the language, meet new people and get acquainted with the region through the local teachers and staff. Apart from the Spanish curriculum, courses usually involve day or weekend trips, cooking and dance classes and homestays with Costa Rican families. This is a great investment you can make during your trip that I can't recommend enough. Here are a couple of my favorite schools.
This nondescript sports bar located in Escazú is home to some of the best comfort food in Central America. It's also a major hub for expats from all over the world and a great starting point to make some new friends around town. The walls are completely covered in flat screens which broadcast sporting events that can be hard to find in other bars. Thanks to the friendly owners and staff, you'll feel like a regular in no time.
Mac's is a well-known expat hangout located in Sabana Sur, near the offices of a major online sportsbook. Not surprisingly, the place fills up with English speakers fresh off their shift from taking bets, ready for a beer. The bar is slightly less American than the name implies, but the drinks are reasonably priced and the food is pretty good too (I suggest the casado). No football fan should have any trouble striking up a conversation here.
Taking a dance class is a great way to connect with new people and learn to salsa, merengue, cumbia and more just like a Latino. Well maybe not just like one, but enough to not embarrass yourself. Merecumbe is the most popular dance school around with several locations in San José. Since all couples are paired with new partners upon arrival, you'll have no problem if you prefer to come alone. What better way to get out of your comfort zone and start meeting new people.
Costa Ricans are extremely friendly and get along great with foreigners. With a little bit of effort you should have no trouble making some fast friends with Ticos and expats alike.

Apparently - only Israel and Austrailia defended it.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060929/ap_on_re_mi_ea/terr... ;_ylt=Av0MuO.ibjPHmBbGUudyfhYUewgF;_ylu=X3oDMTA3b3JuZGZhBHNlYwM3MjE-
MADRID, Spain - The top U.N. official on torture said Friday that a bill before the U.S. Congress could deprive terrorism suspects of a fair trial and was especially troubling after the mistreatment of prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison.
The legislation, expected to clear a final congressional hurdle Friday and go to the White House for the president's signature, was condemned by many politicians, human rights groups and newspapers around the world as a violation of international law and an invitation to torture. At least two U.S. allies — Poland and Britain — declined to comment directly on the proposal.
In Iraq, strong opposition to the legislation appeared to be one of the few things Shiite and Sunni politicians could agree on.
"This bill violates human rights and restricts freedoms," said Saleem al-Jibour, a lawmaker with the Iraqi Islamic Party, a major Sunni political group.
Abdul Karim al-Inazi, a lawmaker from Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Dawa party, said the bill marked the "abandonment of all calls for human rights and democracy."


Having an HD TV at home is common things in Bangladesh. Having multiple HD devices like- Set Top Box, Chromecast, DVD Player or BlueRay Player, PS4, Laptops or other kinds but if your TV has limited numbers of HDMI ports then you may need to have a device called HDMI Switch.
HDMI Switch has eased the life of many gaming enthusiasts and entertainment lovers. Modern age TV sets usually come with a lot of HDMI ports, but the need to introduce HDMI switch was strongly felt ever since people started getting annoyed due to the limited available HDMI ports in their old 4K TV sets. Companies came up with a solution to introduce HDMI hub that doesn't only fulfill the requirement of people but also allow them to connect as many devices as they wish.
It is a device used to connect a video source to a TV using HDMI interface. For example, if you wish to join your PlayStation, DVD, or laptop to the TV and your TV has limited or no HDMI ports then you can use this device. HDMI Switches usually comes with more than two ports. Currently, many companies are producing a variety of HDMI Hubs and Switches.
Once you know you need to buy an HDMI Switch, it's the time for you to decide what HDMI Switch is going to work for you the best. Although, the market has been flooded with hundreds of HDMI Hubs and Switches. Unfortunately, most of them seem good for nothing.
