1. AP: "Museum IDs New Species of Dinosaur"
Question: what caused Utah paleontologist Jim Kirkland to claim, this week, "Lo and behold, evolutionary theory actually works"? Answer: a new species of dinosaur that had horns longer than some dinosaurs, but shorter than other dinosaurs.
Not quite as sensational as you were expecting? It wouldn't be the first evolutionary "evidence" foisted on unsuspecting readers. Still, this one may be a leading candidate for most underwhelming. Let's read the findings reported by the Associated Press:
A new dinosaur species was a plant-eater with yard-long horns over its eyebrows, suggesting an evolutionary middle step between older dinosaurs with even larger horns and the small-horned creatures that followed, experts said.
No, not much there …. That's like saying people with normal-length arms are evolutionary middle steps between long-armed people and short-armed people.
The dinosaur's horns, thick as a human arm, are like those of triceratops which came 10 million years later. However, this animal belonged to a subfamily that usually had bony nubbins a few inches long above their eyes.
Next we read some information about where and when the fossil was found, and then comes a big, exciting, information-less quote:
"Unquestionably, it's an important find," said Peter Dodson, a University of Pennsylvania paleontologist. "It was sort of the grandfather or great-uncle of the really diverse horned dinosaurs that came after it."
And now from the AP, here's a little information about whom the species was named after; then come size and age estimates (20 ft/6.01 m long and 78 million years old); finally, the name and age of the "oldest known horned dinosaur."
That makes the newly found creature an intermediate between older forms with large horns and later small-horned relatives, said State of Utah paleontologist Jim Kirkland, who with Douglas Wolfe identified Zuniceratops in New Mexico in 1998. He predicted then that something like Ryan's find would turn up.
That brings us back to Kirkland's quote, "Lo and behold, evolutionary theory actually works." Here's the problem: there's a big difference between saying, on one hand (pun intended), "This guy ten generations ago had long arms, and this guy five generations ago had short arms, so I predict a guy with normal length arms somewhere in the intervening generations," and saying, on the other hand, "All three of these guys are the chance accumulations of genetic mistakes over the eons that started when some clay got hit by lightning."
In any event, this article is one of the most hyperbolically pro-evolution articles to appear in the major media in recent times.
2. LiveScience: "Robot Reveals How Fish First Crawled Ashore" http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/070308_salamander_robot.html
European scientists formerly "puzzled" over the workings of a key episode in the story of evolution have developed a salamander-esque robot in an effort to elucidate an answer to the puzzle. The key episode is the alleged water-to-land transition that evolutionists indicate was the starting point for millions of years of terrestrial evolution.
The LiveScience article explains the puzzle:
Until now, scientists had puzzled over how ancient swimmers, which used mostly body movements in the water, could recruit their limbs for land locomotion while triggering the distinctive body movements required for a typical walk.
To shed light on the process, the team of scientists, led by physicist Auke Ijspeert of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, constructed a 33-inch (0.84 m) robot, colored bright yellow, that is modeled after a salamander—even down to its "spinal cord." The robot was equipped with limbs as well.
As an increasing electrical stimulus was applied to the "spinal cord," the robot transitioned from moving its limbs slowly, then more quickly, and finally at full speed, "at which point the limb neuron centers shut down" per the robot's programming. At this point, the robot began to undulate its entire body in lamprey fashion, enabling it to swim. Based on this model, the team concluded that one neural circuit is all it would take for a seafaring amphibian (or a fish such as Tiktaalik) to transition to land-walking.
Unfortunately for evolutionary theorists, they have yet to show how actual land-going, weight-bearing appendages—or any of the other unique structures of land life—could have evolved by chance! Ultimately, building a robot that transitions from sea to land doesn't prove a sea-to-land transition any more than an illustration of an ape slowly evolving into an upright-walking human proves that we descended from apes!
3. National Geographic News: "Evolution Getting Faster Thanks to Germs, Viruses, Study Says"
Evolution is speeding up, according to a Rice University team studying a process known as horizontal gene transfer. The team believes that "microbes are accelerating evolution by constantly transporting whole chunks of DNA that may represent new and beneficial functions—like resistance to disease" from one organism to another.
Interestingly, part of the argument the Rice team, led by genetic engineer Michael Deem, gives for this acceleration of evolution is to cite the so-called "Cambrian explosion," the evolutionary term for when, according to uniformitarian interpretations of the geological record, all of life became inexplicably complex in an incredibly short period of time. Despite this anything-but-gradual "explosion" that is anything but what evolutionary theory predicts, evolutionists cling to hope, frequently introducing new ideas for what caused the sudden complexity. The Rice team claims horizontal gene transfer "may have played a significant role in allowing early multicellular organisms to develop into the living things we know today."
Unsurprisingly, "[n]ot everyone agrees how prominent a part this gene-swapping process has played in the evolution of larger organisms like plants and animals." Furthermore, this process, despite its label as an evolutionary mechanism, fits with the biblical account of creation. After all, this process cannot create any new genetic information; it can merely copy and move existing genetic information. In other words, it in no way furthers the idea that bland, simple life-forms could rapidly evolve and speciate into the almost countless variants of complex life on earth today.
4. PhysOrg.com: "Early Mars had underground water system"
In the latest of evolutionists' ongoing efforts to convince the public (and themselves) that Mars really, truly had life once upon a time, scientists suggest this week in Nature, that "sulphate-rich sediments" found in Mars' "Meridiani Planum" were deposited by groundwater seeping above the surface. Jeffrey Andrews-Hanna of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, along with colleagues, proposes the idea in lieu of the hypothesis that the deposits came from a sea once covering Meridiani Planum. Andrews-Hanna, et al., point out that Meridiani Planum is not a basin and could not have held sufficient water for a sea.
Of course, what is the source for the continual speculation concerning water on Mars? "Water is one of three essential ingredients for life as we know it, along with energy, such as sunlight, and elements like carbon and oxygen." Evolutionary scientists may search the universe for an accidental origin of life, but all the while the truth is closer than they are willing to believe!
5. ScienceNOW: "The Rodent Who Knew Too Much" http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2007/308/1
This week, a new animal joins our showcase of "underestimated animal geniuses": the humble lab rat. It seems that lab rats working for University of Georgia neuroscientist Jonathon Crystal and graduate student Allison Foote are smart enough to undergo "metacognition," or thinking about thinking, an intellectual behavior previously observed only in such lauded-for-their-brains animals, such as monkeys and dolphins.
As Gisela Telis's ScienceNOW article explains, "People experience metacognition … on a daily basis; anyone who's ever had a sinking feeling during an exam knows it well." The problem, of course, is how to learn when an animal has such a sinking feeling!
In this case, Crystal and Foote set up a game for the rats:
First, the researchers trained the rats to associate a short burst of static—lasting about 2 seconds—with one lever, and a long burst of static-lasting about 8 seconds—with another lever. Pushing the correct lever yielded a tasty reward of six food pellets; pushing the incorrect lever yielded no food and no chance to try again. The rats also learned that they could get half the reward without making a choice, by poking their nose into a food trough.
When the test began, the bursts of static were easily distinguishable, and the rats "played" the game, pushing the correct lever rather than going for the shoo-in trough solution, and consequently receiving a bigger reward. But then Crystal and Foote decided to make things more challenging by playing "intermediate bursts of static" that were neither short nor long. The rats apparently recognized their own inability to "answer" correctly, and instead avoided answering wrongly and went straight for the free food in the trough. The food trough was then removed, and the rats—as expected—performed poorly, failing to distinguish whether these intermediate sounds were short or long bursts.
Studies that uncover the unexpected intelligence of animals can go a long way toward muting the misapprehension that apes (especially chimpanzees) are "nearly human" due to their high intelligence. Of course, it's true that chimps are smart within the animal kingdom, but this falls apart as evidence for evolution when other intelligent animals are revealed:
"It's an important study," says University of California, Los Angeles, metacognition researcher Nate Kornell. "It tells us that the mental processes of rats are more similar to ours than we thought." It may also tell us that supposedly smart animals don't have the market cornered on awareness, he adds, because "if this is true for rats and monkeys, then it's probably true for other mammals as well."
You can read about other clever creatures in previous News to Note entries—see February 24, item #2; January 27, item #4; December 2, item #7; November 11, item #5; and November 4, item #3.
6. LiveScience: "Snake with Taste for Escargot Evolves Bizarre Strategy" http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/070308_right_snakes.html
One of this week's examples of "evolution" in action is Pareas iwasakii, the Japanese snake. According to LiveScience, this snail-sucking snake "has evolved an upper jaw with more teeth on the right side than the left" that allows it to tug snails out of their shells more efficiently (based on the usual curvature of snail shells). The snake uses this method (which you can watch on video) because its jaws are too weak to crush snail shells. When faced with snails whose shells curved in the less-usual way, the snakes were more challenged and took longer to "free" the snails from their shells.
Scientists at Kyoto University in Japan determined that these snakes have an average of 17.5 teeth on the left jaw as opposed to 24.9 teeth on the right jaw; this asymmetry was found even in unhatched snakes, which indicates that the asymmetry has a genetic origin. "[T]he snake has evolved an upper jaw with more teeth on the right side than the left," the article explains, calling it a "toothy adaptation."
But is this "evolution"? In one sense, yes—in the sense that the term "evolution" refers to a change in the frequency of a gene occurring in a population (but not in a molecules-to-man sense, as we will explain later). In this snake population, which (presumably) was originally dominated by snakes with symmetrical genes, the success of the right-toothed snakes has increased the frequency of the genes for right-toothedness in these snakes. This sort of evolution in no way contradicts the biblical account; furthermore, it is based on solid investigative research.
The problem is, "evolution" is also used to refer to the unobserved speculation that over time, molecules could turn into men, fish could turn into philosophers, and so forth. But unlike the serpentine example above, such "evolution" would require the addition of a great volume of genetic information. Such information-increasing evolution has never been observed. Thus, when evolutionary scientists find examples of animal populations adapting to their environments, the news is touted as indirect "evidence" that life is the result of millions of years of evolution. In reality, this borderline-dishonest tactic amounts to a modicum of science and a mound of evolutionary philosophy.

7. BBC NEWS: 'Stone age' labelled 'offensive' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6422581.stm
The terms "stone age," "primitive," and "savage" are offensive and "should not be used to describe living peoples," reports the BBC on an Association of Social Anthropologists ruling. The association claims the terms "ha[ve] serious implications for [the] welfare" of these groups.
Interestingly, this attitude reflects the biblical position on anthropology and human origins rather than the evolutionary one. A secular evolutionary worldview dictates that our only value comes from our ability to survive and reproduce, and that "races" that do this effectively are, in essence, more highly evolved. In times past, evolutionists famously placed various races on a ladder of "closer to" and "farther from" apes. Such ideas were taught in public schools and led to inhuman crimes such as the horrible story of Ota Benga.
The Bible, in stark contrast, teaches that all humans on earth are descended from Noah, and, in turn, from Adam, who was created in the image of God. The Bible teaches in Genesis 11 that our ancestors once spoke the same language; it was only after the dispersion at the Tower of Babel that we split into various people groups, divided by language. One result of this switch was varying skin tones; another was that our societies developed in dramatically different ways. Yet no people groups are better than any others; we are all sin-cursed and in need of a Savior.
Ultimately, it is the biblical worldview that should drive us to care for members of all people groups, for all are one in Christ (see Galatians 2:8). Furthermore, Christians should point out the bigotry that is the logical result of evolutionary doctrine. See our Q&A on racism for more information on this important topic.

Update #5: According to http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/02/otheros-class-action-lawsuit-geohot-sony-now-share-same-charge.ars via http://www.groklaw.net./article.php?story=20110218181557455, GeoHot and Sony now share same charge as a result of a PS3 OtherOS class-action lawsuit.
To quote: "One of Sony's defenses is rather interesting, as the company claims that it had no way of knowing gamers who bought the hardware would want to use these functions for the life of the system, and the multiple warranties and Terms of Service all said that Sony had the right to remove functions from the hardware."
Update #4: The latest documents reveal Judge Susan Illston has denied Sony's request for expedited discovery, essentially meaning Sony can't send out the subpoenas to other PS3 hackers mentioned previously, however, http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/02/playstation3-hacker-files/ now reports Sony is preparing to inspect GeoHot's hard drive.
Update #3: http://www.geohot.com has now updated his site with the following, to quote: "As of 2:00 PM EST, 1/14/2011, I am not subject to any TROs" followed by legal documents citing a request for dismissal by lawyers representing George Hotz and concluded with more legal documents now granting Sony the TRO although according to http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/02/ps3-hacker-fights-sonys-attempt-to-keep-case-in-california.ars GeoHot laywers are now filing a motion to dismiss the TRO.
So, although there is still a court case to go through essentially what this means is US District Judge Susan Illston http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/01/playstation-lawsuit-limbo/ the temporary restraining order telling Sony to prove their case first, leaving the burden of proof upon them while Sony documents now allege George Hotz has a PSN account.
Update #2: Some videos of GeoHot on G4's Attack of the Show which aired at 7PM EST tonight are now available below, with his motion for temporary restraining order rescheduled for Friday, January 14, 2011 at 9:00 am.
Update: While http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/11/sony-sues-geohot-fail0verflow-over-ps3-exploits/ now classifies the legal action as a restraining order as GeoHot hires a lawyer from Ettorney Law who previously won big cases against the RIAA and MPAA, Research Professor of Computer Science David S. Touretzky at Carnegie Mellon University has now http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/GeoHot/ the GeoHot file archive calling the bluff of Sony's legal team.
It appears infamous PS3 hacker GeoHot aka George Hotz is now in hot water himself along with 27C3 lecturers and fail0verflow members Marcan aka Hector Martin and sven aka Sven Peter and 100 John Does, as posted on IRC and his site Sony Computer Entertainment has now filed suit against him.
Charges include:
• 18 U.S.C. � 1030(a)(2)(C) – Confidential Information On Computer
• 18 U.S.C. � 1030(a)(4) – Intent To Defraud And Obtain Value
• 18 U.S.C. � 1030(a)(5)(A) – Knowing Transmission of Code
• 18 U.S.C. � 1030(a)(5)(B) and (C) – Intentional and Reckless Damage And Loss
• 18 U.S.C. � 1030(a)(6)(A) – Trafficking in Password
• 18 U.S.C. � 1030(a)(7)(B) – Intent to Extort
To quote from his site: "As of 1/11/2011 7:20 PM EST, I have been served with papers, see below...
• http://www.geohot.com/Motion%20For%20TRO.pdf
• http://www.geohot.com/Proposed%20Order.pdf

any legal fund donation things you see are 100% fake as of now, don't get scammed"
Sony claims to have sent GeoHot a $1 donation for his PS3 hacking work, and from the legal docs, to quote: "Upon information and belief, Defendant George Hotz is bound by the Playstation Network Terms of Service and User Agreement (the PSN User Agreement), 14 of which states in relevant part that both parties submit to personal jurisdiction in California and further agree that any 23 dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in a court within San Mateo County, California.
The FAIL0VERFLOW Defendants intentionally circumvented SCEA's TPMs, accessed the PS3 System and trafficked in Circumvention Devices and SCEA's proprietary information, with full knowledge that their unlawful conduct would irreparably harm SCEA.
Indeed, five days prior to appearing at the Chaos Conference, Bushing echoed a http://twitter.com/xorloser/status/18470986890346496 comment anticipating this irreparable harm: Last chance to sell any Sony stock you may have.
By distributing the Circumvention Devices discussed herein, Hotz has caused irreparable injury and damage to SCEA. Russell Decl. at 9-10. Recognizing the harmful impact of his unlawful conduct on SCEA and attempting to leverage his circumvention activities, Hotz addressed SCEA when he posted the Metldr Keys. Bricker Decl. at 22, Exh. U.
In an attempt to obtain employment, he wrote: "if you want your next console to be secure, get in touch with me." Id.
Furthermore, in a January 6, 2011 interview with the BBC, Hotz acknowledged that his conduct will catalyze the piracy of video games: "I hate that it enables piracy." Id. at 27, Exh. Z.
Despite feigning disturbance resulting from the proliferation of piracy, Hotz then went on to release 3.55 Firmware JailBreak and the Signing Tool – both components of Circumvention Devices that are designed to facilitate videogame piracy.
Finally, SCEA will likely prevail on its claim under �1030(a)(7)(B), which prohibits intent to extort from any person any money or other thing of value by threatening to obtain information from a protected computer without authorization or in excess of authorization or to impair the confidentiality of information obtained from a protected computer without authorization or by exceeding authorized access. Hotz violated this provision when, in the same post in which the published SCEA's Keys, he attempted to obtain from SCEA thing of value in the form of employment: if you want your next console to be secure, get in touch with me."
http://psx-scene.com/forums/670109-post1.html has also posted some additional court documents and the following, to quote: "My Wikileaks Fax machine just finished dumping the finished E-filings for today by Sony, with the official Court Stamp and Signings, and included now is what SCEA wants to claim in damages and their reasons, and dates of when the info was released by Team Fail0verflow and Geohot and various other info like sharing of work via twitter, posting youtube videos, etc."
From http://twitter.com/marcan42/status/25009462397902848: "Ah, so Sony decided to sue everyone under US law. Guess I won't be visiting the US in a while..."
From http://twitter.com/fail0verflow/status/25010636119343104: "Looks like Sony decided to ignore the facts and sue us all for it. See http://geohot.com/."
GeoHot on IRC: (IPs/other users/etc removed)

geohot: they expect me to be in SF tomorrow at 9am :/
geohot: they also say i am taking donations, which i am not
geohot: and that i have a twitter, which i do not
geohot: moving to spain :P
geohot: old index page and jailbreak.zip has been restored to geohot.com
geohot: i assure you i am takely this matter very seriously
geohot: after reading the documents and consulting with my legal team, i have decided to repost the information and jailbreak
geohot: the tro is proposed, not signed
geohot: if the court signs off on the tro, i will comply with the courts decision
geohot: whats ironic is the program to get the metldr key was run under otheros
geohot: 100% legally
geohot: on 3.15

Sulfa Flagyl, Ten days have passed since the 100 days mark, it is time for another 2010 season countdown post. Here is a summary where F1 stands with 90 days to go.
The final 2010 Formula 1 calendar has been published - see here, Sulfa Flagyl overseas. The only yet to be finalized race is the inaugural Korean GP that is still subject to the circuit homologation. Sulfa Flagyl india, The season opener will move from Melbourne to Bahrain, the finale will remain at Abu Dhabi after the late reshuffle of 2010 season ending races.
The F1 commission proposed new point scoring system has been approved by WMSC, Sulfa Flagyl. From 2010 on there will points awarded to top 10 instead of top 8 drivers, Sulfa Flagyl uk. The point haul for the race winner will be 25 points with the other top 10 finishers rewarded with 20-15-10-8-6-5-3-2-1 points. Sulfa Flagyl australia, The FIA has also asked the Formula 1 Sporting Working Group to bring forward proposals for making F1 more entertaining in time to be implemented for the 2010 season. That means that further rules changes are still possible although at this stage they would require agreement from all 13 teams. Sulfa Flagyl, The teams have agreed on staging joint car launch in Valencia at the end of January. Can't really see how they are planning to make that work .., 750mg Sulfa Flagyl.
Martin Whitmarsh has been voted in as a new FOTA chairman and will take over the role from Luca di Montezemolo. 100mg Sulfa Flagyl, No drivers have been confirmed during last 10 days. However Lucas di Grassi has apparently sealed an F1 seat for next season. He is expected to race for Virgin Racing (Manor) alongside Timo Glock, Sulfa Flagyl.

Possessing a cell phone is a necessary thing for any person anymore. It's hard to see someone who doesn't have one kind of phone or another. Even my 3 yr old (who doesn't have one) is familiar with how to use my iPhone when I have seen much older individuals not even understand how to utilize it in order to make a phone call.
While the smart phones can be great they are not always the smartest thing to have for those who want nothing other than to text message or call up someone when they desire to talk. They've no desire to try out games, hear music, and surf the web. If all you need is a simple phone plus a low bill than consider getting the pay as you go cell phone.
They are pre paid phones you can pick up at any of your grocery stores you head to. They are very simple looking and most aren't even able to obtain within the Internet, though there are several that do. The best thing about these is that you shall be the one to decide just how much you need to spend every month because there's no contract you're bound to.
So pay as you go cell phones function by buying the phone that you wish for and than buying a card that is full of minutes. The phone will often cost around $50 – $100 depending on what you want. The card won't cost as much depending on just how many minutes you get.
You'll need to obtain a separate card if you have the type of phone that may allow text messages or Internet access. Clearly the greater features it has the more money you might need to spend. Yet, you still may only pay $50 a month if you utilize it wisely.
Once you possess the card it'll have a code in the back that you will have to employ to refill the minutes.
These minutes might last for as long as you wish them to be. However, when you run out you'll need to buy more in order for it to make any calls or text messages on your pay as you go cell phone.

Most families come to us with debts to PECO and PGW that stand in the way of true independence. An innovative Drueding program allows supporters to match a family's debt repayment up to $30 each month, making their goals more attainable. For more information, email email@example.com.
In addition, we collect 30% of their net income for fees and apply all but $10 per month towards any debts they have accumulated.
Meeting the many needs of our families ― who have suffered trauma and still face daunting odds on the path to independence ― calls for comprehensive services.
Intensive Case Management: Every family has a Family Advocate, who works with the family to set and reach goals around housing, education, employment, health, and life skills, as part of a detailed Family Service Plan. Each Plan is specific to a family's challenges, strengths, needs, concerns, and outside support, and follows a realistic timeline. The Advocate coordinates a Family Team, including a therapist, youth advocate and representatives from Education & Community Services and Youth Services, to work with the family to monitor progress, offer encouragement, and review the Plan monthly and revise it quarterly.
Empowerment is key to our work with families. Whenever possible, we replace rules and regulations with responsibilities and expectations.
Since money management and fiscal responsibility are essential skills, every family contributes 20% of their net monthly income to a savings account that is pooled to maintain Department of Public Welfare eligibility and 30% of their net monthly income for utilities and maintenance costs in the Residential Program. Drueding Center also directs these resources to pay down families' utilities debt, a common barrier to living independently.
Clinical Counseling: Trauma can never go away, but skill and time can start the healing process. Drueding Center's two therapists focus on children's issues and adult issues, respectively. Our therapists offer:
Many of the children we reach cannot recognize emotions and deal appropriately with conflict. To better serve them, Drueding Center therapists and childcare staff are trained in the nationally recognized PATHS® (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) curriculum. Therapists conduct weekly PATHS® activity groups, backed up by teacher-led activities, to promote emotional and social competencies, reduce aggression and behavior problems and help children from preschool through elementary school become more receptive learners.
Trauma Informed Services: According to the National Center on Family Homelessness, 92% of homeless mothers have experienced sexual or physical violence in their lifetime and homeless children suffer from emotional or behavioral problems that interfere with learning at almost three times the rate of other children. Drueding Center provides Trauma Informed Services designed to deliver care in a way that acknowledges the role that trauma plays in the lives of our families.
Youth Advocate: The Youth Advocate participates on the Family Team and works directly with each child in the Residential Program. A developmental screening, Ages & Stages, is conducted for every child under the age of five within 30 days of move-in and referrals, with follow-up services as needed. The Youth Advocate is the primary liaison with the local school for enrollment and trouble-shooting, ensuring that each child receives all entitlements prescribed through federal mandates. The Advocate also coordinates the residential library, literacy, and Early Head Start programs for resident families.
During evening hours, Drueding Center hosts two volunteer-run, staff-supervised tutoring programs, Homework Club and Homework Helpers.
Homework Club, a drop-in program for students who need assistance with their homework, meets Mondays through Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the Residential Learning Center.
Homework Helpers deepens the connections tutors make with our children by pairing an individual tutor and child for weekly private sessions in the study lounges of our Residential Building. Tutor and child meet once a week, from 7:00 to 8:15 p.m. for a minimum of 3 months. The program's success often results in visible improvement on the next report card.

Substance Abuse Recovery: Drueding Center requires all residents to remain clean and sober. Drug screening is conducted randomly. If the drug screening results are positive, the woman is referred for a comprehensive drug/alcohol assessment and must follow treatment recommendations: inpatient, outpatient, or no treatment.
Health Services: A registered pediatric nurse, a unit clerk, and a volunteer physician provide basic preventative pediatric health services on the second floor of the Residential Building. All families have access to well baby visits, immunizations, and health screenings.

The Dye is Always GreenerPosted by: Tamara in dyeing, etsy, spinning, tags: eco-friendly, green, organic, phat fiber, samples, spincerely naturals
For the last month or so, I've been doing R&D. (DH loves when I say that, btw.) I've been the proud owner of a set of Greener Shades dyes for about 6 months and finally happened across a really nice supply of organic wool top to try it out on. I did some testing and voila! We have a new product line to play with! This new line is called Spincerely Naturals and thus far is is composed of exactly *one* product. But, it is an awesome product!
What is Spincerely Naturals? It is soft, white (prior to dyeing), wooly and makes fantastic yarn that is squishy and elastic. (And it smells heavenly!) Here is the description from the supplier that just says it all, " Fine wool top. Imported for one of the United States' few certified organic spinning operations, and sourced from a leading European certified organic wool topmaker who worked with a South American organic wool grower, we've been able to secure a supply for handcraft use. Specifications: organically grown and sustainably processed top, white. Staple length 2.2-3.5 inches (55-89 mm). Fiber count 74s (19.5 micron)." Did you notice? 19.5 microns??? 74's???? Yes, this stuff is as soft as merino!
After previously dyeing with the wide array of acid dye color choices, it is a bit different to work with the limited colors available from Greener Shades. But I think I'm getting there with my mixing. The photos in this post show mostly the pure dye colors as I wanted to see what they were all about before starting to mix. Greener Shades also doesn't come with much instruction on hand painting, but fortunately most of the acid dye techniques I've used work very well.
Are you ready for photos?
Turns into this:
and this:
turns into this:
turns into this:
and these:
Oh wait! What ARE those? Phat Fiber samples?
Yes! Sixty samples were sent off for the Midsummer Night's Dream box for June. The color? Lysander, picked and named by Agent J who happened to be reading it just when color advice was needed. She picked the green, black, and purple because she said that "everything happens at night."
I'm happy to announce the official product launch of Spincerely Naturals 74's Organic Wool Rovings. Watch for them to appear in my shop soon!

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Re: Lou Matthews' Feb. 5 guest column, "Serious gap in state's mental health strategy, Prop. 63":
The article prompts the skeptical response: "How much service do you give a person who refuses treatment, medication and claims nothing is wrong with them."
This is why the Mental Health Services Act is currently undergoing a state audit focused on intent of purpose, misappropriation of funds, better outcomes of reducing disparities and blending consumers in the workforce as provided by MHSA design - as the 2004 law was intended.
There have been surprising results when designated funds are used to help with housing, jobs and self- determination. With encouragement and tool, even the seriously ill population (whom the law was written by and for protection of) can recover. The failure of Ventura County's strategy doesn't diminish the challenge.
Things are tough all over, and housing supply may never reach the demand. However, I waited six years, which is a reflection of the county administration's arrogant "helping themselves" to MHSA funds I had requested, and went without while in need.
I finally got my housing voucher, helped by county staff outside of administration. I can verify from experience years of marginalization and a autocratic top-down approach of using funds designated for severely mentally ill.
Now it is a continued struggle, broken promises and eternal hope for mental health consumers and their families interested in a real consumer- and family-driven voice with no politics, no egos, no special interests, no discrimination - just pure, ethical health care based on the needs and wishes of the clients, the families and the staff who serve them both.
We have seen it happen, it is possible

RUSKIN — A backyard sinkhole has forced a family in the Tampa area to leave their home.
Hillsborough County Fire Rescue officials say the family went to a friend's home after the sinkhole was spotted Thursday night. Ruskin is near Tampa and not far from Seffner, where 37-year-old Jeffrey Bush was killed when a sinkhole opened under his bedroom on Feb. 28.
The Tampa Tribune reports the sinkhole measured 7-feet long and 2-feet wide. It was about 10 feet from the family's home.
A fire rescue officials says it was too dark to determine how deep the sinkhole measured.
The backyard was roped off and officials were expected to return Friday morning to examine the sinkhole.

Published on: Jun 1, 2006 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print A broad coalition of beef industry leaders met in Kansas City May 22-23 to address opportunities to enhance the Beef Checkoff, and what potential changes to its operating procedures might strengthen the checkoff in the future. The 17-member Industry-Wide Beef Checkoff Task Force established their mission; "to review, study and recommend enhancements to the Beef Act and Order for the purpose of strengthening the Checkoff for the common good of the beef industry." In its first meeting members identified key issues facing the checkoff and analyzed both strengths and weaknesses of the current checkoff system. A unanimous opinion of the Task Force at the May 22-23 meeting was that the current checkoff has succeeded in helping build beef demand and assisted in moving product. New product development efforts and work to change consumer perception of beef's healthful properties was recognized by the group. In addition, the significant contributions and program coordination of state beef councils was acknowledged. The Task Force will embark on an information-gathering process before meeting again at the end of July. Eleven national organizations are represented on the Task Force, as are six states. The independent group was created at the request of the Federation of State Beef Councils, various beef organizations and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. It will conduct its efforts through October. National organizations represented on the Task Force are American Farm Bureau Federation, American Veal Association, American Meat Institute, Livestock Marketing Association, Meat Importers Council of America, National Cattlemen's Beef Association (Livestock Marketing Council), National Livestock Producers Association, National Meat Association, National Milk Producers Federation, National Farmers Union and R-CALF USA. The six state representatives on the Task Force are from California, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, Tennessee and Texas. The facilitator for the Task Force is John Huston, Chicago.

Valpo Uses Extra Base Hits to Topple Cedarville
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Valparaiso used 11 extra base hits and runs in six of eight innings to defeat Cedarville 13-6 on Tuesday afternoon at Emory G. Bauer Field.
Matt Lenski (Milwaukee, Wis./Marquette University H.S.) homered twice on his way to three hits while Andrew Quinnette (Kokomo, Ind./Kokomo H.S.) and Dan DeBruin (Combined Locks, Wis./Kimberly H.S.) each registered three extra base hits a piece. Quinnette had three doubles while DeBruin had two triples and a two-bagger.
Leading 3-0 in the third, Quinnette's first second double drove home Josh Wallace (Bellefontaine, Ohio/Bellefontaine H.S.) and Lenski followed with a two-run shot to increase the lead to 6-0. Lenski's solo blast in the fifth followed by a DeBruin run-scoring double made it an eight run Crusader lead before Cedarville found the scoreboard.
The Yellow Jackets batted around and plated five runs in the sixth, only three of which were earned. Valpo answered with three more in the seventh, one on a DeBruin triple and two more on Brett Bivens (Battle Creek, Mich./Lakeview H.S.) first collegiate homerun to leftfield.
Cedarville added one more unearned run in the eighth and Valpo scored two more in the bottom of the inning, one on a Quinnette double and the other on a John Giusti (Coventry, R.I./Coventry H.S.) sacrifice fly.
Valpo finished the game with 18 hits, including a 4-for-5 game by Quinnette. DeBruin, Lenski, and Giusti also had three hits a pice in the victory for the Brown and Gold.
Bryce Shafer (Wabash, Ind./Northfield H.S.), the first of five Valpo hurlers, earned the win (3-4), striking out five in two innings of work. Crusader pitchers struck out 13 Yellow Jackets on the day. Andrew Lockridge (4-4) suffered the loss for Cedarville (21-29), working the first three innings allowing six runs on nine hits.
Valparaiso (18-30, 8-10 Horizon League) will wrap up the 2008 regular season this weekend as the Crusaders head to Chicago, Ill. for a key three-game weekend series with UIC. First pitch of Friday night's single game is set for 6:05 p.m. with Saturday's doubleheader starting at 1:05 p.m.

Teenage murder suspect John Gonzales III will stand trial in adult court for the murder of James Whitley, 24, at a North side apartment complex this summer.
According to San Antonio police investigators, Whitley was shot to death during a gun battle that erupted at the complex in the 3500 block of West Avenue August 13.
They said Whitley planned to sell marijuana to the Gonzales and two other people, but Gonzales decided to rob him instead.
Whitley was shot in the thigh and died in surgery, police said.
During his hearing in juvenile court Friday, Gonzales' head still showed the scar where it was grazed by a bullet.
Prosecutors called on Detective Raymond Roberts, the lead police investigator on the case, who testified that Gonzales showed little remorse as he confessed to the killing.
"Not really chuckling or laughing, but he had a smile on his face," Roberts said.
Defense attorney Tony Jimenez argued that his client was remorseful, and that Whitley shared the blame because he also was breaking the law at the time.
Jimenez told the judge that Gonzales, who was 15 at the time, should remain in the juvenile system. He said his client has no serious criminal history and suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy, which have left him learning disabled.
"There's nothing to indicate that he's going to be a threat to the community in the future and I think all of those things are extremely important," Jimenez said.
After hearing the arguments, Judge Laura Parker decided that, due to the nature of the crime, Gonzales should be certified to stand trial in adult court. She set bond for Gonzales, who has been in custody since August, at $100,000.
After the hearing, Whitley's relatives stood outside the courtroom dressed in T-shirts bearing his picture and messages of remembrance. They said they're satisfied with the decision.
"We're happy with the outcome and we just want justice to be served," said Jessica Aguirre, Whitley's sister-in-law. "(His death) is hard for everybody. It's a loss. The kids lost their father."
With the change in status, Gonzales now faces a possible sentence of 5 to 99 years if he's convicted.

In July and August, students and parents will attend mandatory training sessions to learn how to use the iPad that will be provided to every student.
Jon Paul Campbell, superintendent, discussed Jacksonville's "1:1 iPad Initiative" at the annual "State of the Schools" address and town hall meeting.
Campbell said the school system's digital conversion is designed to "improve student engagement and student achievement."
"The devices level the playing field for all students. They give them the opportunity to learn at their own pace," Campbell said.
Campbell used examples of other schools using the technology, stating that a school system in Mooresville, N.C. had success using iPads in the classroom and saw disciplinary referrals drop by 60 percent.
Campbell said all fourth- through 12th-grade students would be given either an iPad or iPad mini. While each Kindergarten through third-grade classroom will be provided with eight iPad minis to integrate into lesson plans. There will also be 120 MacBook laptops available for classroom use.
The city of Jacksonville contributed $226,000 toward the digital conversion, Campbell said.
The user cost is still being discussed, the superintendent said, but it's likely a parent will pay $50 per student for an entire school year, with a maximum payment of $100 per family.
Heidi Dempsey, mother of two high school students, said she was concerned her children would forget to charge their iPads.
"It's hard enough to remind them that they have to have their cell phones charged so we can call them," Dempsey said.
Dempsey said she's also curious to see what school policies are written for lost or stolen iPads.
"I think they have potential if they're used correctly, but I don't think they are necessarily going to replace pencils and paper," Dempsey said.
Mike Poe, school board president, said Jacksonville teachers have continuously trained with the iPads since they started working with them a year ago.
"I think it's going to be a great thing for teaching and learning," Poe said.
Some parents were concerned the iPads were intended to replace teachers, Poe said, but they are to be used as a teaching tool.
"Certainly they're not replacing teachers. These aren't going to be a babysitter for the younger grades. These are another tool to learn," Poe said.
The school system is also creating a list of businesses that offer free wireless internet services, and the City Council is working to partner with wireless providers to get reduced rates for the families of students who aren't connected.
The meeting also covered the future of Kitty Stone Elementary School and the possibility of building a middle school. Campbell said nothing has been decided, but the school board is exploring several different options.
The board, Campbell said, agrees that the main priority is to renovate or replace Kitty Stone. If enough funds are available, it's likely a middle school will also be built.
The school board will have an estimated $9.5 million available for school construction. Renovating Kitty Stone would cost $6.9 million. Building a new middle school is estimated at $7.4 million. A new elementary school would cost $10.7 million. A combined middle school and elementary school building would cost around $16.3 million. Building a middle school onto the existing high school would cost $2.8 million.
"The board believes a middle school is the best solution for our city and that we should build a middle school if at all possible," Campbell said.
Another meeting to discuss the digital conversion will be held on May 14 at 6:30 at JHS.

Beautiful Fireplace
By Dan & Nan

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Dimplex Colonial Burnished Walnut Electric Fireplace Mantel Package - CFP3920BW:
We love the decorative look! The wood matches our room perfectly. It was a little troublesome to put together, but not terrible. The flame is nice. The heat is what we expected. The only disappointment was the remote control. We were expecting it to be able to do more than just the basic on and off. For example change the heat setting, etc.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Adds grace and charm
By firelight
from Memphis, TN
About Me Budget Shopper
At [$] we thought this was a good price for a quality product - we saw an electric fireplace on clearance shortly after we bought this one and the flame was not as pretty and realistic as this one. Overall was very simple to assemble, we did have a problem with the holes being too small for the screws on the brackets, glass insert was a little tricky but overall a very easy experience. I must also say that the packaging was impressive, loads of protection. We have set it up in our living room for zone heat in the wintertime, this is why I have only given 4 stars as we have not used the heat setting, we are using the flame only - which is a great feature. We love this fireplace it has added a great deal of charm to our home. Would buy from these guys again. Will try to remember to update this review when we have used it for heating.

Much has changed during 2013. The Australian dollar has dropped significantly and interest rates have continued to fall. We have a new Government which may or may not be able to implement a number of policy changes.
In September 2013, business confidence was continuing to rise but has now dropped.
So are businesses in a better place at the end of 2013 than they were at the beginning of the year? Statistics show they should be, although ICBA Australia's market intelligence shows there are still tough times ahead. The impact of the impending closure of G.M. Holden Ltd, is a signal that Australia, New Zealand and the Asia and Pacific market must continue to evolve to cater for slowdowns in manufacturing and mining.
2014 will be another significant year also because the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 will finally be implemented in March 2014. The new laws are the most significant reforms to the Privacy Act in over 20 years. This amendment will apply to the personal information of "natural persons" (sole traders, members of partnerships who are natural people, guarantors who are natural people and directors).
Changes include the introduction of more comprehensive credit reporting, which will allow the reporting of information about an individual's current credit commitments and their repayment history information over the previous two years. The new system will be accompanied by enhanced privacy protections and underpinned by a new industry-agreed code of conduct, to be called the 'CR code'. Given the increased financial penalties that apply to a failure to comply with this legislation, it is important for organisations to review and understand their obligations contained within the Privacy Act, Privacy Code and the Regulations.
What organizations will need to do:
• Change your privacy policy
• Provide more information to individuals when you collect their personal information
• Implement a privacy compliance program
• Change your direct marketing practices
• Review arrangements for offshore data storage or processing
As a trade credit supplier, businesses will need to tailor specific circumstances in regards to privacy. ICBA Australia will be able to assist you in obtaining legal opinion on your privacy obligations and privacy documentation. 2014 will continue to bring challenges to many of our businesses here in the Pacific; however, the staff of ICBA Australia and ICBA New Zealand look forward to continuing to develop and enhance ways to help businesses manage trade credit risks better, and avoid any nasty surprises during 2014.
(Kirk Cheesman is Managing Director of ICBA Australia and New Zealand , National Credit Insurance (Brokers) Pty Ltd and a Director of NCI Brokers (Asia) Pte Ltd.)

FDA Approves Nesina, Kazano and Oseni Oral Medications to Treat DiabetesPosted: Monday, February 04, 2013
After a long delay, the FDA approved the oral drug alogliptin (Nesina) for treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes, as well as two products combining alogliptin with other antidiabetic drugs.
Approved simultaneously with Nesina were alogliptin combinations with metformin (Kazano) and with pioglitazone (Oseni).
Alogliptin is the fourth dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor to win FDA approval, joining sitagliptin (Januvia), saxagliptin (Onglyza), and linagliptin (Tradjenta).
Drugmaker Takeda Pharmaceuticals America first applied for FDA approval in 2007, a year before the agency tightened its standards for new diabetes drugs. The agency then told the firm it would have to comply with those standards.
Although Takeda subsequently resubmitted its application with expanded data, the FDA twice more requested additional information, most recently last April.
As a monotherapy, alogliptin was studied in 14 trials involving some 8,500 patients, the FDA said. With a principal efficacy endpoint of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level after 6 months, the drug reduced this marker by 0.4 to 0.6 percentage points relative to placebo, according to the agency.
As condition of the approval, Takeda will be required to do five postmarketing studies of Nesina, including one focusing on cardiovascular events as well as "an enhanced pharmacovigilance program" targeting liver abnormalities, pancreatitis, and hypersensitivity reactions.
The drugmaker was also ordered to conduct three pediatric studies of alogliptin: a dose-finding trial, a standard safety and efficacy study of the drug as monotherapy, and another such study of alogliptin combined with metformin.
The adult combination pill of alogliptin plus metformin was studied in four trials enrolling more than 2,500 patients. Compared with alogliptin alone, the combination reduced HbA1c levels by 1.1 percentage point after 6 months. With metformin monotherapy as the comparator, the combination reduced HbA1c by 0.5 points.
Similar results were seen in four trials of the alogliptin-pioglitazone combination pill with more than 1,500 patients. Compared with pioglitazone monotherapy, the combination reduced HbA1c at 6 months by 0.4 to 0.6 percentage points. Relative to alogliptin monotherapy, the reduction was 0.4 to 0.9 points.
Both combination products will have to undergo the same enhanced pharmacovigilance program as required for alogliptin monotherapy, the FDA said. The agency is also requiring a pediatric safety and efficacy study of the metformin-alogliptin pill.
Nesina, Oseni and Kazano were studied as monotherapies and also in combination with insulin and sulfonylureas. A monotherapy is a stand-alone therapy, one that is not given in combination with another drug.
Nesina is a DPP-4i (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor). It is designed to slow down the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide). Nesina (alogliptin) was shown to be both effective and safe in 14 human studies, which included 8,500 participants; all of them with type 2 diabetes: Patients on Nesina had reductions in HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) of 0.4% to 0.6% compared to those on placebo after 26 weeks on the medication.
Kazano is a combination of alogliptin and metformin HCl, an extensively used anti-diabetes medication, in a single tablet. Kazano was shown to be both safe and effective in four clinical trials, which included over 2,500 participants, all of them with type 2 diabetes: Those on Kazano had additional reductions in HbA1c of 1.1% over Nesina, and 0.5% over metformin after being on therapy for 26 weeks.
Oseni, a combination of alogliptin and pioglitazone, is the first medication in the USA to include both a DPP-4i and a TZD (thiazolidinedione) in a single tablet. Oseni was shown to be both safe and effective in four clinical trials which included over 1,500 participants, all of them with type 2 diabetes: The patients on Oseni had additional reductions in HbA1c of 0.4% to 0.6% over pioglitazone alone, and 0.4% to 0.9% over alogliptin alone.
Common side effects with all three products included rhinitis, sore throat, and upper respiratory infection.
