Athens, Georgia With the storm coming in, and our fall workshop at the Georgia National Fair suspended for now, I did a little walk around the neighborhood after wrapping up our prep. At a t-intersection, the remains of a car – a regular occurrence. Around the corner, the county had been trimming back trees and brush. Athens, Georgia

Athens, Georgia I was supposed to awake in Perry this morning, rested for a 16 hour day at the Georgia National Fair with my students and a group of volunteer coaches. After looking at as much data as I could yesterday, I waved everyone off – the forecasts for the day showed high winds, heavy rain and possible tornadoes from Hurricane Isaias, stretching from Athens down through middle Georgia. Too risky.

Athens, Georgia Stepped outside for some sun, something I don’t do enough. A short wander around the building and I found some new items and some that have been there a while. Athens, Georgia

Athens, Georgia After two decades here, I have some alumni who have astounded me – they’ve worked for National Geographic, CNN, Condé Nast Traveller, the MLB and become photojournalists, editors and judges. We had one stop by today – Mackenzie Miles was in the Photo Cave just four years ago amd is now director of photography for the University of Maryland’s athletic department. We blended a few intro classes, a great conversation. Athens, Georgia And spotted at our vet … Athens, Georgia

Comer, Georgia Last year, I wandered out to the Madison County Agricultural Fair because … well, because I like a good fair and I was wondering if there was an opportunity to bring students out there. I had a grand time and, this year, we offered two days for the kids to come out and wander the fairgrounds with the photo profs. Tonight was the first and we had a dozen make the drive.

Athens, Georgia I am a modernist, I love a good grid. Form follows function, but everything should be in place. This duct was not in place … NOTE: At the time of this posting, Flickr (where my images are hosted) was having some issues serving them to the Safari browser. If you’re seeing broken links, please try in Chrome or Firefox, those appear to be unaffected.

Athens, Georgia There was a reason for this curb cut, but I can’t parse it out. Athens, Georgia

Athens, Georgia Visited the university’s photo studio today, parking in the south garage and heading out a little after 5 p.m., when everyone else was in a rush.

Athens, Georgia A student came up after class, holding out his lens and twisting it, the sound of something rolling around inside. The zoom ring wasn’t working anymore, either. Two screws had backed out, the locking collars to the zoom ring now floating free. Took a few layers of disassembly to get them out, but it went back together pretty easily. Small screwdrivers to the rescue.

Pike County, Georgia Each fall, I head down to Zebulon for the Slow Exposures event, meeting some friends to look at photos, eat BBQ and wandering about. Some really good things this year, some curious ones, too. Pike County, Georgia Pike County, Georgia Pike County, Georgia Zebulon, Georgia Zebulon, Georgia Jackson, Georgia Jackson, Georgia

Athens, Georgia I’d hoped, not that we’re a third of the way through the semester, that traffic would ease up. Nope, the six mile drive is taking almost 30 minutes some evenings.

Athens, Georgia Guest lectured for a colleague, but before I could talk about my September 11 experiences, there were mics to be distributed.

Athens, Georgia Pulled out this double-CD set to listen to and and this Corel disc was in the third slot. At first, I thought someone had swiped a disc, then realized you need the drivers for the extra features. The 1990s were weird.

Athens, Georgia There was a 6:00 p.m. talk by Nancy Ellison over at the Special Collections library on campus, so I hung around and walked over. Pretty light, not many out and about. The talk was totally worth it, exhibit is up through December – worth a look if you’re interested in celebrity photography. Athens, Georgia Athens, Georgia Athens, Georgia Athens, Georgia

Athens, Georgia No football tonight, weather was looking bad (then really wasn’t, grr … always go, always go). So we have some steps from early in the day.

Athens, Georgia Over the summer, the city and university closed a couple of crosswalks near our building to make crossings safer and keep traffic flowing. New fences went up where curb cuts had been. At home, the dog run is looking a little ragged. Athens, Georgia

Athens, Georgia After I get up, Goose will occasionally relocate herself to my pillow. She didn’t quite make it today.
EEG functional connectivity as a prognostic biomarker of adaptive function in autistic people
Abstract Many autistic people have challenges with adaptive function, impacting education, employment and independent-living goals. Adaptive function outcomes of autistic people vary considerably, which makes planning for future needs challenging. Here, using a developmentally sensitive approach, we investigated if cortico-cortical functional connectivity – a core neurobiological feature that differs in autism – could predict longitudinal changes in adaptive function in autistic people.

Oconee County, Georgia Road construction near highway 316 and, while I was sitting in traffic, saw the semi next to me had what appear to be heating elements in the headlights. Which, well, brilliant. Back on campus, we’re picking out upholstery for one of the renovation projects. Oconee County, Georgia Athens, Georgia

Lexington, Georgia Week two of our coverage and we’re back to our psuedo-home at Patriot Field where Washington-Wilkes High School took on Oglethorpe County High School. And beat them, soundly, 56-7, in the home opener. Next game is just a week away. Had five students out with me, all seemed to be doing well and working together.
Cattle research may provide answers to father’s role in pregnancy loss
When a pregnancy ends early and unexplained, the search for answers usually begins with the mother. Lacey Luense, Ph.D., wants to know what the father’s sperm might have to do with it. Luense, an assistant professor in epigenetics in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Animal Science, studies the causes of early pregnancy loss—a problem that cuts across species and carries both personal and economic costs.

Athens, Georgia Fall is not here, but the high temperatures and rain-drought cycle seems to be taking its toll on a magnolia.
Mark E. Johnson [ • ] Photojournalist
Danielsville, Georgia It’s football season and the start of the semester, that means it’s time to head out on Friday nights with the kids. I usually focus on Oglethorpe County as it’s where we run the weekly paper (all done by our students) and it’s close to where I live, but they don’t have a home game until week three. So, up to Madison County High School we went, a field I’ve never been on.

Athens, Georgia We started talking about sports coverage today, so I had them go through a selection of images from the Best of Photojournalism competition and determine winners, then compared them to the judges’ selections. Good discussions all around and there was some good binding, as well. Athens, Georgia Athens, Georgia Athens, Georgia Athens, Georgia Athens, Georgia
6 Books that explain how language influences the way we think
While language may not completely determine thought, research from linguistics, psychology, philosophy, and cognitive science suggests that it can shape the way people interpret the world around them. 6 Books that explore the relationship between language and thoughts 1. Through the Language Glass by Guy Deutscher In Through the Language Glass, Guy Deutscher investigates one of the most intriguing questions in linguistics: does the language we speak affect the way we think?
