It's probably been a a good 4 or 5 years since I last wore these socks. The kids think my feet are awesome now.

I LOVE TOE SOCKS
- Marissa
Now that I think of it, I think I wore these while in labor with Alton, so it would be at least 4 years. I have a ton of socks like this, but rarely show them in public since I'm over the age of 10. LOL What sold me on these was the frog on the big toe and flowers on the rest of them; Instant Pedicure!
- Anika
cute. i have some with music notes that say "toe jam" on them hehe, but they are still at home. come to think of it....i dont think i brought any to school with me =[

Most of mine have frogs on them.I have a couple of pirate themed ones and one that's either Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day (never worn).

I had these toe socks. My mom made me wear these to school, each toe was a different color of the rainbow and them cruel kids heckled me all the way home. It was a terrible moment in the life of Jeunelle. I never want to go back there ever again :(
- Jeunelle Foster
Oh, that's horrible. When I was a kid *everyone* had those multi-colored toe socks and they were rainbow striped on up. I once even made the mistake of going roller skating in them, thinking I'd look cute in my satin short and matching jacket.
- Anika
Whoever made these toe socks should be shot by firing squad. We suffered tremendous physical and psychological abuse for wearing these so called fashionable socks. :) Hold on let me see if I can post you a photo of those same socks. Nah forget it, it's black and white, you won't see the colors.
- Jeunelle Foster
I didn't suffer! Only when skating. Otherwise, I love(d) my toe socks!
- Anika
Looking at this pic, even though the socks make my feet look like rectangles, it also makes it look like my feet are smaller than a size 12, so that's a bonus.

Just heard a report on NPR (yes, I listened to NPR for once) about Sesame Street. Interesting tidbit; they said they learned that children liked a narrative versus the lesson broken up into snippets. I think Elmo killed the fun that was Sesame Street and 15 min. of that baby-talking rag is too much. My kids feel the same.
R1CC1, Steven Perez, Ladybug Heather and 19 other people liked this
If I put today's Sesame Street on, they'll whine and call it a baby show. If I put on episodes of the Sesame Street I grew up with, they'll become engaged in the show shouting back answers to the TV. Also noted by my daughter is that the old Sesame Street taught a lot more Spanish (very true) and everything looked "more real".
- Anika
Elmo wouldn't exist if Jim Henson hadn't died IMHO. Less Elmo more Grover and Kermit!

The early episodes were more for adults. In fact the DVD release has a warning: "These early Sesame Street episodes are intended for grownups and may not suit the needs of today's preschool child," the warning reads. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories...
- Andrew Leyden
Well my kids like them. They get a kick out of the 70s graphics, the Chef, the typewriter (which I learned they thought was a phone, go figure) and my son LOVES the news flash with Kermit D. Frog.
- Anika
I don't miss those time-lapse videos of flowers sloooooooowly opening, though. Remember those? That was always my cue to take a bathroom break.
- Sarah is Novembery
LOL I don't remember those, Sarah. Maybe that was my bathroom break cue too.
- Anika
I loved me some Sesame Street when I was a kid (and yes, that's where I first learned Spanish). Those early 80s episodes more than met my preschool needs...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I remember being in kindergarten and every day we watched Sesame Street and then Electric Company. Then we'd have a snack of nilla wafers and orange Koolaid. Then we'd take a nap. Definitely a firm part of my childhood memories.

Was I the only one who stuck around after Electric Company to watch "3...2...1...Contact!" ?
- Bren, Photophobe
I couldn't hang with 3-2-1 Contact. It was too "big kid" for me at the time.
- Anika
I loved Sesame Street back in the day, though...
- Bren, Photophobe
One other thing that annoys me about today's Sesame Street is that Bert & Ernie are now Claymation. It was annoying enough that Bert was sidelined so that they'd do that silly Adventures with Ernie (or whatever it was called) sketch. But this is too much bad change. As I mentioned in another post, the Tweedledums are now CGI and so is Abby Cadabby. Boo!
- Anika
Nooooooooooooo. Ernie and Bert are Claymation? RIP Jim Henson.
- Trish R
We have 2 collections of "old school" sesame street and my daughter loves it. She could care less about the new show and we both are ready to turn it off once Elmo's bit comes on.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
The Ernie & Bert claymation thing really annoys me as well. Maya loves Elmo (unfortunately) and she also likes the "Murry has a little lamb" segments. She's just recently gotten into Abbie Cadabby. It is a much different show than when I was a kid. I was never into Electric Company but I was a big fan of Mr Rogers, especially the land of make believe.
- Carl Haynes
:O Bert and Ernie are claymation now?! WHY?!?!?!
- Soup
Bren, I adored 3-2-1 contact! I think Sesame Street/Henson were on some serious drugs, in a good way.

- Maxamad (Amazigh)
I've never been a fan of the cod series - bland, grey/brown yawn fests each and every one of them. Until brink and Diablo3 come along, my fun will stick with TF2, KoL, OpenTTD and a plethora of indie titles that are bringing joy back to my game playing. Eufloria, for example, is a beautiful RTS. I also enjoyed playing around with Joe Danger, tho it's something I could get tired of all too quickly. However, feb means I'll get to buy a copy of the game my GF is working on...

Marginal Revolution: Geoengineering with Iron Fertilization - http://www.marginalrevolution.com/margina...
Anna Haro, Carlos Ayala, Maxamad (Amazigh) and 5 other people liked this
"As even their critics admit, Levitt and Dubner have performed a useful service in drawing greater popular attention to geoengineering. Garden hoses to the sky,however, are not the only approach. Iron fertilization is simpler, cheaper and much more easily testable. Most people are aware that CO2 and temperature are positively correlated in the long historical record but fewer people know that iron dust correlates negatively on the same scale - that is, temperature and CO2 levels are low when iron-dust is high. The graph illustrates. The basic mechanism that appears to drive the association between low temperature, low CO2 and high iron-dust levels is that iron-rich dust sometimes sweeps off the continents into the oceans where it creates a plankton bloom. Phytoplankton take up CO2 in order to grow and as they die and produce fecal matter (I kid you not) carbon sinks to the lower depths or bottom of the ocean where it may remain for 100 to a 1000 or to even to millions of years (in the...

I met some marine microbiologists from Max Planck Institute Bremen at ISMB last summer where we talked about this specifically. They explained a couple of problems with this. Under natural conditions, only a fraction of the CO2 taken up by phytoplankton actually reaches the ocean floor, because grazers normally eat the phytoplankton and bring it back up to the surface. But under...

So we're all gonna die anyways?
- Jim Norris
I got all that from one lunch with people who specialize in marine microbiology and have been thinking specifically about combatting climate change. I wonder if Levitt or Tabarrok have done the equivalent, or if they automatically understand everything because they're economists and thus can do away with the need for expertise (or even data) by the sheer power of their intelligence.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Jim, that doesn't follow. Actually reducing CO2 emissions is much simpler, though not easier, than these geoengineering solutions. The geoengineering solutions only *seem* simple because the complexities of ecology are swept under the rug. Economists of a certain stripe are accustomed to sweeping complexities under the rug (with regard to the economy as well), but in this case it just won't do.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Do you think that's an affliction unique to economists? I see a fair amount of it in other fields too, like computers for example.
- Jim Norris
It seems like we'd have much less insight into the secondary effects of any of these global warming mitigation schemes than we would if we pursued reduction in greenhouse gases in the first place. It seems like a lot of the mitigation strategies just trade off one environmental problem for another.
- Jim Norris
No, it's not unique to economists--in fact I think they caught the attitude from physicists, but the attitude at least seems to work well in physics itself (as opposed to various other fields to which physicists think they can lend their powerful intelligence--see http://arxiv.org/abs...).
- Ruchira S. Datta
Jim, my point exactly.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Do you think they caught the "pure math" bug and lost touch with empirical reality?
- Jim Norris
About computers, I think that may be at least a bit different because at least a small number of human intelligences designed the computer in the first place.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Jim: totally, I wrote a blogpost about this once, way back when I used to blog: http://ruchiradatta.blogspot.com/2005...
- Ruchira S. Datta
I interacted with some mathematical economists when I was doing my (pure math) thesis in game theory. One of them actually told me, "Don't use examples, they just make things more confusing." !!!
- Ruchira S. Datta
I can't stand gratuitous math porn in economics (or CS or any other science). I think a lot of it just serves to make the reader feel dumb and make the author look smarter, even when it has no bearing on reality. But then again I am not a scientist. I just admire them from afar.
- Jim Norris
Well, I'm trying to become a scientist, and it's a humbling experience. I do my best not to introduce gratuitous math porn. :)
- Ruchira S. Datta
How close are you? How's it different than being a mere computer nerd like me?
- Jim Norris
Well, I'm a research specialist, so in that sense I already am a scientist. I just feel there's an endless amount to learn, but it's also endlessly fascinating, which makes it a lot of fun.

At what point do you get to be somebody and do something that anyone cares about though? Does that ever happen? Only for the lucky few?

Well, I'm lucky to have already done something that some people care about (in fact we have more requests than we can keep up with), thanks to working for a great PI. I don't know when I'll get to be somebody though, that is only for the lucky few.

Jim, you said "It seems like we'd have much less insight into the secondary effects of any of these global warming mitigation schemes than we would if we pursued reduction in greenhouse gases in the first place. It seems like a lot of the mitigation strategies just trade off one environmental problem for another." and I think that sounds great. The thing that stumps me is the fact that we're increasing our output of greenhouse gases, not decreasing. So, how do we pursue reduction of greenhouse gases?

My cousin suggests taxing banks and using the proceeds to finance green technology transfer to developing countries: http://www.guardian.co.uk/busines...
- Ruchira S. Datta
OK, interesting concept. Then how do we get the industrialized world to stop increasing emissions? Or, maybe we need a more tractable problem: Is it possible to design an experiment that demonstrates the mitigation of secondary effects given a partial or localized reduction in emissions? In other words: do we need the whole world to grow up and get along before we can prove the efficacy...

- Ruchira S. Datta
I'm sure I'll get in trouble for this comment, but I think stopping industrial emissions is like stopping teenage sex. You can keep telling people to abstain, or you can just give up and give everyone condoms and birth control pills. With CO2 emissions I think we're still in the abstinence camp. One day I think we will give up and decide to reduce CO2 by planting forests, increasing...
more...
- Amit Patel
Amit, the reason I had that conversation with those microbiologists in Bremen is because I was interested in developing geoengineering to reduce CO2 myself. I'm all for planting forests, but they take a long time to grow. In this case relying on geoengineering would be like engaging in unsafe sex in 1920, gambling that a birth control pill will be invented before an unplanned pregnancy occurs.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Much simpler than planting forests and waiting for them to grow is stopping deforestation, e.g. for producing beef or biofuels, which no matter how efficient will always be net carbon positive.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Ruchira, that makes complete sense. Unfortunately our agricultural lobbyists have an unhealthy amount of power and work hard to prevent any reduction in support for biofuel or beef production. How can we resist these forces?
- Jason Wehmhoener
Arunabha says: "Ruchira - to clarify, my paper does not propose a Tobin tax. The Tobin tax (on international currency transactions) has been part of the debate since the early 1970s for regulating financial markets and it has been proposed at times to finance development goals. The Guardian article used a similar argument for climate change. The proposal my co-author and I have put...

Still not sure what to do about the beef lobby, which is another major cause of deforestation. A large number of...

"If Carol Tilley had her way, comic book favourites like Superman, Archie and Veronica would be welcomed in libraries and elementary school classrooms. “I’m encouraging librarians to look at comics as something more complex, requiring more cognitive effort than a lot of people tend to assume they require,” said Tilley, a professor of library and information science at the University of Illinois. “I’ve provided them with a rationale for using them in schools and libraries.” Tilley makes the case for acknowledging comic books alongside novels and picture books as sophisticated learning tools for children in the most recent issue of the magazine School Library Monthly. Contrary to what critics might say, comics aren’t an oversimplified version of books, Tilley said. Instead, they are as complex as any other work of literature, given the way the pictures and words blend together to tell a story, she said. “They support children’s readings development,” Tilley said."
