Greg Eckerman, the new expert in our Lean Manufacturing Zone, says he sees a danger with manufacturers' use of activity-based costing methods. The danger has to do with the organization-wide costs that get added in equal measure to the costs of discrete production parts. When these costs get too big, he says, manufacturing improvements become hard to justify. Think about it: Most manufacturing improvements have to do with a focused aspect of the process, yet the impact of the improvement has to be big enough to be felt against the organization-wide expense. For this reason, he thinks the value of manufacturing improvements is routinely understated by a factor of 3.
Read the argument here. I'd love to hear what you think.

How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor can thank his sitcom for making one very memorable introduction – it's how he met his future girlfriend, Lipstick Jungle's Lindsay Price.
"I played a very annoying girl who would not stop talking," Price told PEOPLE Wednesday while stepping out with Radnor at the Whitney Contemporaries Art Party and Auction at Skylight in New York of her role on the show.
But their first date didn't follow immediately. "We met up a year and a half later in New York, last summer in August," says Radnor. "We went to have dinner near the Bowery. It went really well. We've been together ever since."
So what are Radnor's virtues as a boyfriend?
"He's very thoughtful," says Price. "And he's very good at giving gifts."
In fact, Radnor's recent gift to Price spelled out his thoughtfulness. "For a TV show she's doing called Eastwick, I actually got her a dictionary about witch terms," says Radnor.
But Price certainly wasn't at a loss for words when it came to describing Radnor's charms. Says Price, "He's the light in the dark space."

MILL HALL - The cold rain made it hard to get a good grip on the ball.
Dunmore's big line made it even harder to get a grip on Daiqwon Buckley and Austin Seamon.
The combination of the two was more than the Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils could overcome.

Tyler Campbell (36) is consoled by Bellwood-Antis assistant coach Bill Crowell and Owen Worthing.
One of two Devil lost fumbles thwarted a promising potential go-ahead drive for Bellwood in the third quarter. Dunmore took advantage to crack open a close game behind Buckley and Seamon's 386 combined yards on the ground and six touchdowns as the District 2 champion sidelined B-A in the PIAA Class A semifinals on a wet and dreary Friday night at Central Mountain's Malinak Stadium, 40-19.
"I just feel disappointed and sadness. I just wish we could have done something more to win the game," Blue Devil senior tight end/linebacker Ian O'Shea said. "It seemed like their size and their line just overpowered us. We held up for as long as we could, but they just kept pounding and pounding away at us."
Playing a team that had four linemen weighing 230 pounds or more while their heftiest starter was 225, missing two-way starter Haden DeGennaro with a broken leg and being without quarterback/safety Seth Worthing for much of the first half because of a twisted pelvis sustained on their first offensive play, Bellwood had the game knotted at 13 late in the second quarter. Dunmore scored to take a six-point lead into the half, but the Devils took the second-half kickoff and marched from their own 35 to the Dunmore 28 on the legs of junior tailback Casey Gray.
However, as Gray seemed about to break out in the clear for a first down on third-and-3, a Buck defender managed to strip the ball, and Dunmore's Josh Sawka recovered at the 30.
Dunmore then took the ball 70 yards on 12 running plays to make it 25-13.
Down two scores, Bellwood decided to go for it on fourth-and-near midfield, but Gray was stopped short with the third quarter about to end. Dunmore covered 42 yards in four more runs to push its lead to 20 and take total control of the game.
"That was big. I thought we were on our way to tie it up, and then you don't know," Bellwood coach John Hayes said. "It's easy to project things. Obviously, it didn't help. I've always said turnovers are the things that usually spell the difference in games like this. Momentum definitely shifted, because they took it down and scored. That made it a two-touchdown game, and, at that, point we were kind of grasping at things to do with guys in and out."
The turnover on the opening drive of the third quarter was one of five fumbles for Bellwood in the game. They also had a pass intercepted in the end zone in the fourth quarter.
"It's always hard when you have those turnovers. It wasn't prime conditions with a slippery ball. I knew it was going to be tough," Devil senior lineman Keith Shawley said. "I'm not saying if the weather was perfect, we would have won. I just think it would have helped us more."
Bellwood's game was speed, whereas Dunmore's was raw power with the 215-pound Buckley and 180-pound Seamon running behind the likes of 285-pound James McHale, 265-pound Mike Boland and 255-pound Tim Drews. Both Buck runners had 100 yards rushing by the end of the third quarter.
"Those guys are great runners. I take my hats off to them," B-A senior linebacker Tyler Campbell said. "But it's their line that really did it for them."
Buckley was able to get a head of steam going and finished with 223 yards and touchdown runs of 9, 45, 15 and 2 yards on just 22 carries.
"I knew if the line was blocking great, we were going to be able to run the ball. And the line blocked phenomenal," Buckley said.
Gray piled up 132 yards on 29 carries for the Blue Devils, scoring on a pair of short runs. As a team, Bellwood amassed a very respectable 245 yards rushing.
"They were big, so it was up to the line to move them around and give us room to run," Gray said. "They did, but, in the end, they were just too big."
"Our line has always been smaller," Shawley said. "I'm pretty sure we wanted it more. We just drove our feet. That's the secret. We have a lot of really good linemen. Not the biggest, but we've got a lot of talented kids. We just figured we'd go out and work as hard as we can and make something happen."
Managing that without DeGennaro, who broke his leg in overtime of the Devils' double-overtime PIAA quarterfinal win against Delone was quite an accomplishment. The Devils also did it without Worthing, the four-event PIAA track qualifier, for much of the contest. After he forced and recovered a Dunmore fumble on the second play from scrimmage, he fumbled a snap himself and got injured trying to make something happen.
"Haden was a huge part of the offense. Without him, we lost all that speed and a play-maker," Gray said. "When Seth went down on that first play, it just took us down. We really need them in there to do what we want to do."
Worthing was in and out of the lineup several times as he kept reaggravating it.
Worthing's younger brother, Owen, came in to play quarterback and scrambled for the Devils' first score from 11 yards out with 1:24 left in the first quarter. Freshman Jake Burch came on under center for Bellwood in the fourth quarter.
"I couldn't really get down in a stance, so me playing defense was out. I didn't want to take any hits. I tried to get out of bounds more than I usually do to avoid getting hurt," Seth Worthing said. "It's a bummer. And, with Haden being out, that's a lot of speed we were missing."
Dunmore coach Jack Henzes was concerned with Bellwood's quickness.
"This team is very good, and they have a lot of speed. I think we wore them down in the second half, and I think that was the difference in the game," Henzes said.
"We're disappointed not to be in the final two, but the other team did their thing tonight," Bellwood coach John Hayes said. "Unfortunately, we suffered for that."
Game notes: Bellwood players wore a No. 44 decal on their helmets in honor of DeGennaro. ... Seamon rushed for an even 100 yards of his 163 total in the second half. ... Bellwood ended the year 13-2. Dunmore takes a 14-1 record into its PIAA championship game with unbeaten Clairton on Friday.

June 4, 1928 – Feb. 26, 2013
Philip F. Frandina of Buffalo, a prominent professional engineer and former Erie County public works commissioner, died Tuesday in Hospice Buffalo, Cheektowaga. He was 84.
Born in Buffalo, the oldest of seven children, he began his career in the construction business assisting his Sicilian-born father, who was a concrete contractor.
He worked as a welder, a City of Buffalo engineering inspector and an Erie County Highway Department engineering assistant during the eight years he took night studies at the University at Buffalo's Millard Fillmore College. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering in 1964.
Mr. Frandina advanced through all of the engineering positions in the county Department of Public Works, becoming commissioner in 1982.
After retiring in 1988, he joined his family's consulting engineering and land surveying firm, Frandina Engineering, and continued working until two months before his death. He was highly regarded as a structural engineer, bridge designer and arbitrator in construction disputes.
He was a past president of the Erie-Niagara Chapter of the New York State Society of Professional Engineers, which named him Engineer of the Year in 1987, presented him its Basinski-Wohler Meritorious Service Award in 1994 for outstanding contributions over an extended period, and gave him its 1997 Meritorious Service Award. He also was a past president of the Technical Societies Council and the Buffalo section of the American Society of Civil Engineers. He founded the local chapter of the Association for Bridge Construction and Design and served as its first president. The state chapter of the American Public Works Association named him one of the Top Ten Public Works Officials of 1988.
In 2001, Mr. Frandina and his three children, all professional civil engineers, were named Engineers of the Year by the UB Engineering Alumni Association.
His first wife, Josephine Falsone, died in 1983 on their 33rd wedding anniversary.
Surviving are his wife of 26 years, Mary Lou Klice Frandina; two sons, Frank and Joseph; a daughter, Rosanne; two brothers, Anthony and Joseph M.; and a sister, Mary Leone.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10 a.m. Friday in Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, 1029 Delaware Ave.

AMP Cloth Diaper Inserts ... completely customizable to meet every baby's needs.
Whether you call them inserts, doublers, flat cloth diapers or prefolds, our AMP hemp inserts will do the job. An effective and highly absorbent fabric, our hemp inserts allow a custom fit for a newborn, and become a highly absorbent diaper for an older child. They are truly multi-purpose, it's no wonder cloth diapering parents love them! Regardless of the cloth diaper system you're using, there's always a use for a quality hemp insert.
AMP Hemp cloth diaper inserts are made of two thirsty layers of pre-washed 55% hemp 45% cotton fleece. These make perfect stuffers for your cloth diapers, but they'll serve double-duty as cloth diapers for preemies, flat cloth diapers for an infant, boosters when you need more absorbency with an older child, or simply fold them in thirds and line your cloth diapers or covers for a one-size, natural and economical cloth diapering solution.
Why you'll love Hemp Cloth Diaper Inserts:
- So multi-functional, you will use them for long after your diapering days are over!
- Hemp is a great choice for diapers because of it's durability, antimicrobial properties & it's incredible absorbency.
- Incredibly absorbent, hemp is 3x more absorbent than cotton alone. This makes for an unbeatable leak-free system when paired with a quality diaper cover.
- A one-size insert that grows with your child! Use as a flat cloth diaper with an infant, folded for a custom fit on any sized baby.
- Fold these in thirds and lay inside your favorite cloth diaper cover and you'll have up to 6 layers of absorbency!
- An environmentally-friendly fabric like no other! Hemp grows quickly and sustainable without the use of pesticides.
- One daytime insert is great for day use and two are fabulous for heavy wetters at night.
- Need more absorbency? Try our AMP Nighttime Inserts, with an additional thick & thirsty layer of hemp.
- Cloth diaper inserts have use well beyond baby, making them an incredible value! Use them as dish towels, rags, puppy pads, car shammies and more.
- Keeping jobs here, our hemp cloth diaper inserts are made in Canada.
These can be used as inserts in your pocket diapers, as doublers to add extra absorbency to any prefold or fitted diaper, or they can be folded and pinned or Snappied as a prefold or flat cloth diaper on their own (a diaper cover is required). Each insert measures approximately 12" x 15" (after washing) and can be folded once to make 4 layers of hemp, or in thirds for 6 thick and thirsty layers.
Flat Cloth Diapers ... absorbent, easy care & economical.
One-Sized inserts measure 12"x15" and can be folded in three to fit most medium and large pocket diapers or set inside your favorite diaper cover for a cloth diaper combination that is reliable and economical. This will provide you with 6 layers of absorbency. These are a bit larger than a fully washed/shrunk infant Indian or Chinese prefold. These work REALLY well as an infant sized prefold that can easily be pinned or Snappied. An excellent choice for a newborn diaper.
We highly recommend these as a fully-customizable booster or doubler for any cloth diapering system. When paired with microfiber inserts in any pocket cloth diapers these offer an unbeatable leak-free system.
Made in Canada.

The best insert! Review by Lorraine

Hemp is my absolute favourite material for cloth diapers, as it is so absorbent and washes up so well. This is just a great insert as it can be folded to fit in virtually any pocket diaper of any size. We wrap ours in a microfiber towel and never have ANY leaks with our pocket diapers.

I love this diaper insert! It is so versatile. I use them in my pocket diapers or as an insert in a Whisper Wrap. I'm sure that when my son is potty trained it would make a good rag also. It absorbs a lot, I can have only one of these in a Whisper Wrap and it is not bulky at all (probably the least bulky thing I have found).

Get rates right
Your March 24 editorial, "Audit Homeowners Insurance," was based on numerous inaccurate, misleading, and incomplete facts. In particular, it falsely asserted that South Carolina residents pay among the highest premiums in the nation and that the state's insurance companies can automatically increase rates.
I want to set the record straight.
South Carolinians pay the fourth lowest average insurance rates among coastal states from Texas to Virginia and rank 13th nationally.
Property insurance requires a long-term perspective, so reviewing any 10-year sample can be misleading. Over the last 25 years, for example, South Carolina homeowner insurers have actually had a negative return on net worth (-8.24 percent). Over that time, insurers in Florida and Louisiana are the only coastal states that have lost more on a net worth basis.
Hurricanes are (thankfully) infrequent events. However, frequency alone is an incomplete evaluation of risk. In addition to "how often," insurance companies must consider "how much."
South Carolina has $229.6 billion in insured property along its coast, representing 28 percent of the state's total insured value.
This percentage is much higher than neighboring states. When catastrophic storms do hit our state, costs are enormous. Hurricanes have proven to wipe out decades of premium (not just profit) in a single day.
While hurricanes may be infrequent, their timing is unpredictable, and insurance companies must be prepared to pay for covered losses whenever they happen. A "100 year storm" is an event that has a 1 percent chance of occurring every year.
Over the term of a 30-year mortgage, there's a greater than 25 percent chance of being affected by a "100 year storm."
Finally, there is no such thing as an automatic rate increase in South Carolina. Every rate filing is reviewed by the Department of Insurance.
The state's "flex-band" simply allows an insurance company to adjust to changes in the marketplace more quickly since a response from the department within 30 days is required. Rate increases have actually slowed since the "flex-band" was established in 2007.

2) $27 million given to teach Moroccans how to make pottery?
3) Joe Biden's one-night stay in London ($459,000) and the next one-night stay in Paris ($585,000)?
4) The Pentagon is considering allocating $150 million to do upgrades for the prisoners at Gitmo?
5) President Obama promising King Abdullah of Jordan $200 million to help out his refugees?
6) A 20-car motorcade to take the president six blocks to a restaurant to dine with Republicans. (I thought the White House had its own chef and staff).
And if you want to educate yourself about the NFL's tax breaks because it claims to be non-profit, the study of a new robot squirrel and its relation to snakes, the ongoing development of a "mars menu" and other ridiculous government waste just google waste book.com.
Were we not warned by this administration just three weeks ago of all the horrific things that would happen because of sequestration? I suppose this is par for this administration's course.
Where is the outcry, the protests from all taxpayers in this country? Have we really become so accustomed to the waste, the fraud and incompetence in Washington that we just allow the aristocrats to keep on spending?

Keep papal order
I have already seen the new pope referred to as Pope Francis the First.
When a previous pope took the name "John Paul the First" he was reminded by some Roman Catholic scholars that a pope can never be called "the first" until a later pope is called "the second."
With this understanding, if a later pope takes the name Francis then he will be called Pope Francis the second and the present pope will be known as Pope Francis the first, rather than Pope Francis, which is the correct name for him now.

A governor's gall
I was stunned to see Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley in Charleston criticizing our governor this past weekend. It is ironic that Gov. O'Malley, who has presided over a state that has seen a spike in unemployment since he took office, criticized Gov. Nikki Haley, who has led our state to a drop in unemployment. Also, when Gov. O'Malley took office, Maryland had more than 10 Fortune 500 companies. There are now only two. Many have fled to more business-friendly states such as their neighbor Virginia, led by Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Our state is making progress under Gov. Haley's leadership.
In the last few years, we've seen Boeing and Continental Tire set up here; we've had Michelin and BMW expand their operations in South Carolina; and we've seen unemployment steadily drop from the unbearable heights it was at just a few years ago. We've still got a lot of work to do, but we're on the right path.
And if state Sen. Vince Sheheen thinks he's going to distract us, he's wrong.

Recycle signs
I did my usual post-election cleanup of the right-of-way on my commute and collected a lot of signs for the candidates who did not get selected or make the runoff. I encourage your readers to do the same and to pick up other trash they encounter as they do this.
After I collected the signs, I talked with Charleston County Environmental Services, which operates our recycling program. I was informed that due to construction of the most common signs — corrugation and coatings to be specific — they cannot be recycled under existing programs. I discovered that other cities, such as Albany, Ore., and Corvallis, Ore., recycle signs via Allied/Republic Waste Services. They are not in the normal recycle stream. But neither are batteries and televisions, and they can be dropped off at Charleston County's recycling centers.
I encourage our civic leaders to explore recycling political signs. If necessary, raise the filing fee for candidates to pay for the recycling.

I've asked this question many times to many people, and no one will offer a quality answer: Why in the last 50 years has our population increased by 100 million people, mostly immigrants, and yet our need for more workers has diminished because of less manufacturing, less farming, etc.?

The torch has been passed at Torch Velvet Lounge in downtown Charleston. A restaurant owner now owns the bar at 545 King St.
Alberto Reyes of Los Arcos Mexican restaurants in Goose Creek and Mount Pleasant recently bought the bar from Mike Vitale. Reyes has brought on nightclub owner Marc Fisher of City Bar as managing partner and director of operations for Torch, which will continue to operate as is under the same name.
Torch, which has featured art exhibits, fashion shows, DJ expos, specialty acts, bands and theme parties, opened in 2005 when upper King was not the vibrant area it has become. It's open daily until 2 a.m. with a different DJ every night.
Vitale has partnered with Dean Felber of Hootie and the Blowfish and will open a new venue in the spring in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Bling and things
Oceane jewelry and gift shop will open Monday at 223 Meeting St. next to Hyman's Seafood restaurant, according to Jonathan Chalfie with Lee & Associates real estate firm. Owners Helen and Ashok Nayak will operate the store from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
Island spice
Spice, an Asian fusion restaurant, will take over the spot on Johns Island left vacant when Lucy's Red Sky Grill closed. It's at 1001 Landfall Way near Bohicket Marina. A sign says it will open this month.
Sour note
Robot Candy Co. at 322 King St. in Charleston will close June 1 when its lease expires. Offers are being evaluated from prospective tenants, according to Chad Yonce of Southeastern Management Group real estate firm.
New joint venture
The Joint, a chiropractic clinic, will hold a grand opening 4-6 p.m. today at 464 Azalea Square Blvd. in Summerville. The ribbon-cutting takes place at 5. The clink is next to PetSmart. Look for refreshments and free consultations.
Pasta and pets
Eating pasta this weekend could help reduce the pet population. That's the thought behind Pet Helpers' second annual Spay-ghetti and Neuteroni event today through Saturday.
A dozen local restaurants will create a special pasta entree with a percentage of proceeds going to Pet Helpers' spay and neuter clinic at 1447 Folly Road on James Island.
Dialed in
Belle Hall Shopping Center in Mount Pleasant now has a new phone store. Boost and Virgin Mobile recently opened at 644-F Long Point Road. Boost and Virgin are powered by Sprint. The shop across from CVS is owned and managed by Jason Williamson.

Water coolers provide clean, fresh water to your home or office. Countertop water coolers are ideal for compact spaces or small-scale water needs, and they offer the same amenities as full-size water coolers. Office water coolers are typically larger in size and some both water heating and water cooling options.
There are two main categories of full size water coolers: bottled and point of use. Bottled water coolers are the traditional models which use large, 5 gallon water bottles as their water source. On the other hand, point-of-use water coolers use a dedicated water line as their water source. While bottled water coolers require less installation, point-of-use water coolers don't need replenishing. Point-of-use water coolers sometimes require filtration systems or other water cooler accessories. A water cooler is great for those who don't want to drink tap water but also don't want to allocate space or resources to frequently purchasing small bottles of water. With our trusted brands and large selection, you are sure to find the perfect water cooler for your dispensing needs.

Habíamos pedido un apartamento con dos habitaciones y se nos dio un estudio con una cama y un sofá cama
Appartement très confortable et agréable.

Bien situé pour les transports urbains et les commerces.
Agence très efficace.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

The location of the apartment is ok, it is within 30 min walks to the important places and it feels safe. Supermarket is close by. In the evening it is a bit noisy. The kitchen has no ventilation and very hot in the Summer.
The apartment has no ac and in the Summer ac is a must for this apartment.
What we missed beside the ac was a place to put the kitchen towel in the kitchen and a holder for the toiletpaper
Perfect location, city center (for us) in walking distance. Well connected by public transport. Clean and very efficient appartement, bedroom looks at quiet court yard. Absolutely to recommend for younger couples / families (staircases up to second floor).
Great flat.
Beautiful flat In the very heart of Warsaw, it's difficult to find parking places around this place and if you find one during the week its necessary to pay for it (Parking-meter 08:00 -18:00), Saturday and Sunday for free.
Also beware of a 100Euro (400PLN) CASH caution that is not mentioned on Wimdu.
-Center of the city.
-Old Building.
-If neighbors have party you will hear them.
-No lift nor access to wheel chairs.
Nice clean apartment, friendly helpful staff – warmly recommended!
We had wonderful days in this beautiful apartment in Podwale Street in the heart of Warsaw!

"It was thrilling. it's an amazing experience to be part of history and a rare honor," Anderson tells PEOPLE. "There's been a lot of calm excitement in the palace all day since the announcement that she was in hospital and people were just waiting for the good news."
Anderson, 44, is Queen Elizabeth's press secretary, tasked with making the final journey with the anxiously awaited birth notice (handed off by Prince William and Kate's press secretary Ed Perkins) and fix it on the easel for Her Majesty's subjects (and the rest of the world) to see.
Her appearance, holding a gilded frame and accompanied by a formally-coated man, was met by cheers from the hundreds pressed against the gates. "Three cheers for Kate and William and the little Prince," called out a voice. "Hip hip hurrah," the crowd answered three times.
Cindy Eve, 58, of Richmond, said she led the cheer because she is delighted for Prince William. "I get emotional," she said in a choked voice. "Because of losing his mum, but now he has his own little family."
The electric energy stayed in the air late into the evening, as crowds filtered through for their turn to see the easel, which held the proclamation stating a son was born safely at 4:24 p.m. and "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well." Random singalongs of "Happy Birthday to you, Royal Baby" could be heard.
"I just want a cup of tea now," says Anderson "in my 'It's a boy' mug."
A Popular but Feisty OfficialAnderson, a tall, slender mother-of-two (she's married to a former naval officer who now works in London's financial district), is one of three key women around the Queen. Along with assistant private secretary Samantha Cohen and dressmaker Angela Kelly, she is part of the 87-year-old monarch's team advising her every day.
Anderson joined the palace, as an assistant press secretary, in 2001 coming from a public relations post in the U.K. government where she worked in the Cabinet Office, aiding Margaret Beckett, a senior member of the then-Labour administration, and was made press secretary to the Queen when Cohen was promoted in 2007.
"She is a smart woman – smart and sassy," says experienced royals correspondent Judy Wade.
Courtesy Jim Roberts
Living in the home counties just northwest of London, she likes to shop for clothes at the designer outlet stores at Bicester Villlage (where Kate has been known to visit) and has a nose for a good deal. "She's great at sussing out the good bargains in sales," says a friend.
It's a thriftiness that would gain her praise from her boss, whose role at the pinnacle of public life in Britain is passionately supported by her press spokeswoman.
When she got her first post in the press office at Buckingham Palace, Anderson said it was a "dream job come true."
Now, she's living it every day.
Your Turn: The royal baby is finally here! Do you have a little prince or princess? Crown your little one, take a pic and they could appear on PEOPLE.com!

Judgement Day: Intelligent Design on TrialPosted Monday, November 19, 2007, at 8:56 AM
Evilution on Trial
Science works one way. You make observations, develop a hypothesis, design an experiment testing that hypothesis, and you either proove it false or......it passes the first test. After others also experiment with the same hypothesis, and fail to proove it false, one day it turns into a theory. If it's important enough, one day it may be called a law (the law of gravity comes to mind, but it's really just a theory as yet unproven). And that's the catch, you can't prove anything using the scientific method. The theory of evolution simply says that organisms can and have changed over time, they do so because of natural selection (survival of the fitest) and determination of traits that are passed to the next generation.....and so on, and so on. Is evolution so complex, so amazing, so unlikely that there must be a higher intelligence orchestrating it? I believe it is. But, since such a proposition is untestable (with our current technology) the question is mute, at least scientifically.
In the Scopes monkey trial (Dayton, Tennessee, 1925) the court found Scopes guilty of teaching evolution in the classroom and fined him $100. This time (Dover, Pennsylvannia, 2004) the court ruled in favor of evolution and against the teaching of "Intelligent Design" at least in public school science classes. Bible school is the place for that, and I agree.
Thought for the day!
If one bacterium can divide once every 20 minutes, how many bacteria will you have in 24 hours (assuming unlimited resources and space). Get out your calculators and see what you get.

unfortunately you question is impossible to answer based on the information given, we must start by determining type of bacteria (think there are 4), but then again i am no bio man.

Of that 5194.6 tons, how many tons of flagella and how many tons of mitachondria do you have??????????
-- Posted by Johnny Yuma on Tue, Nov 20, 2007, at 8:07 PM
Badbob, you are exactly right. It is 2 to the 72 power.
How large a mass would that be assuming the bacterium is 1 picogram (1 trillonth or 10 to the -12 grams)?
-- Posted by kennethjones on Tue, Nov 20, 2007, at 10:09 AM
A bit off the subject - but if you ever get the chance to go to Dayton, TN be sure to go to the Courthouse and see where the Scopes Trial was held. There is a wonderful museum in the basement of the courthouse and you can still visit the site of the trial on the second floor. The building is beautiful and the furnishings are authentic. Plus it's free entertainment mixed with a bit of history!

First of all on the bact, would that be 2 to the 72power, if so then scientific notation would be
4.722366482869645e+21 that's alot of flagellum.
Good article, my comment is this, as a Christian and a believer in science I can easy recongnize the existence of matter started somewhere. I will go with God, and remeber the world was created in 7 days is just a simple way to convey to mankind the creations, who is to say what a day is in the life of god.

Former Hatter Stephanie Webb was announced as the Stetson Women's Soccer Assistant Coach on Monday, July 16, 2012. Webb comes to DeLand after a recent stint as an assistant coach at Central Michigan.
She joined the Chippewa staff prior to the 2010 season, and helped lead them to two stellar seasons. Webb had a multitude of responsibilities at CMU, which included training, scheduling, and acting as the recruiting coordinator.
In 2010, Central Michigan finished with a 16-5-1 record, becoming one of two teams to win 10 conference games and earn 30 points since the MAC went to an 11-game format. CMU earned its second straight MAC regular season and tournament championship, while garnering the second NCAA tournament berth in as many seasons.
In her second season with the Chippewas, Webb helped the team post their best winning percentage in program history, as the team finished 15-3-3 for a mark of .783. During both seasons with CMU, the Chippewas claimed the nation's top grade point average with marks of 3.76 in 2010 and 3.70 in 2011.
Prior to working with Central Michigan, Webb spent the previous year as the Technical Academy Director of the Palm Harbor Soccer Club. She organized training sessions, advised head coaches in their development, and put together plans for the entire U9 - U15 girls program.
Webb, who earned her Master of Science in Sports Administration from Central Michigan in 2012, received her Bachelor's degree at Stetson back in 2009. The former forward played two seasons with the Hatters after transferring from Texas A&M International. She appeared in 25 matches, started six contests, and tallied three assists at Stetson. In 29 contests for TAMIU, she racked up 16 goals and a total of 36 points.
After finishing her playing career in 2008, Webb stayed on at Stetson as an intern with the soccer program for the rest of her time as a student. She assisted with training sessions, organization of recruiting visits, academic support, and the program's day-to-day operations. Since June of 2009, Webb has been able to stay in the Hatter family as a striker coach for Stetson's Elite Camps.
Webb holds a UEFA B Part 2 Coaching Badge, and an NSCAA National Diploma.
Head Coach Julie Orlowski on Stephanie Webb
"We are happy to have her back in the Hatter family on a day to day basis," Orlowski said. "There's always an advantage of having an alumni so heavily involved in the program, as it's a link to the past and an investment in our future. In having such a young squad, her leadership will be invaluable. The things that separate Webby from the rest are her ability on the field in training, and the way her personality will help shape our team culture."

I am not sure if it's even possible, but I try to be very sensitive to Carter's personality as the middle child... and today I was observing him with Gray and thought what a neat perspective he has to share with his little brother.
Carter was once the little brother, too, and can relate (if a 3-year old can relate, which I think they can) and I am so happy he gets to be the big brother, too, because he'll be able to experience Gray looking up to him.
We don't ever want Carter to feel stuck in the middle- and most likely he'll be sharing the "middle" with Gray someday when we expand our family even more!

A guy who rolls with the punches and laughs at himself before he laughs at others is an Albert. An Albert is one of the most thoughtful, kind, sexy human beings on earth. Most Alberts serve their country and give selfishly, not expecting anything in return. In addition, Alberts are fun, smart, incredibly hot and are great with animals (especially monkeys). There should be more Alberts in the world. To know an Albert is to love an Albert, so those with something bad to say, haven't met a true one yet.
"Man, that guy is the nicest guy on earth, and the way he helps others with grace, humility and all out sexiness?...He's gotta be an Albert!".

LISBON -Calling the fire department directly during an emergency instead of 911 is not something Columbiana County's 911 director would recommend.
Robert Emmons was responding to last week's suggestion by the Calcutta and Glenmoor fire chiefs that in the future the residents in their service area (St. Clair Township) call the fire departments directly when possible because of routing problems with the 911 system.
"I oppose that suggestion for emergency situations, because most often when people are experiencing an emergency their minds focus on the crisis and not their location ... When someone dials 911 from either a cell phone or landline telephone and screams 'fire' and then drops the phone, at least we know where to send the fire trucks," said Emmons, in an email response to the newspaper.
Several fire chiefs in the county have claimed that some 911 calls are going to other counties and then have to be rerouted back, losing precious minutes in the process.
The most recent alleged incident occurred 10 days ago, when 911 was called after a St. Clair Township resident's pickup truck caught fire at his home and it took 20 minutes for the notification to reach the fire department. The first call made by the person's neighbor reportedly went to another county, and when no fire truck arrived within 10 minutes, the truck owner called 911 on his cell phone and he does know where that call went.
Meanwhile, a call was made on a landline to the East Liverpool Police Department, and the first firefighters arrived six minutes later. The police department serves as the 911 dispatching center for East Liverpool and St. Clair Township under the county's system.
As a result of the problem, the Calcutta and Glenmoor chiefs recommended St. Clair Township residents add the fire department number to their cell phones so they have the option of calling them directly.
Emmons said the only 911 call he is aware of was placed by the truck owner and received by the East Liverpool Police Department at 11:42 p.m. Nov. 4. Records show the call was transferred one minute later to the fire department's dispatching service, and dispatchers were on the phone with another caller about the fire.
"I don't have any information on the time sequence for the fire department, I just know when the call came in," he said. "911 had nothing to with whatever problems there were."
The wireless component of the county's 911 system was rolled out earlier this year and is still in the process of being implemented. At the 911 advisory committee's Oct. 24 meeting, Emmons estimated 80 percent to 90 percent of 911 calls made from cell phones are going to the proper dispatching center and need no rerouting. He said the rest are likely made from inside buildings or vehicles, which interfere with the system's ability to pinpoint the caller's location.
At the same meeting, an East Liverpool dispatcher said they were having problems pinpointing 911 cell calls that last 30 second or less. Some tweaks were to be made to reduce the amount of time needed for the system to pinpoint call locations.
Emmons conceded some calls are sometimes bounced to adjacent counties, mostly because of the terrain, but none are leaving the immediate area, as was alleged.
"Some calls routed to an adjacent county, but they are far fewer now that we have activated enhanced 911 for cell phones," he said, adding when that happens the dispatchers can reroute the call immediately by the press of a button.
Emmons was unaware of the complaints and the action taken by the Calcutta and Glenmoor chiefs until he read about it the local newspapers. He urged residents to have faith in the county's 911 system.
"Our 911 system is incredibly reliable, extremely accurate and light years ahead of where we were just five short years ago. People in Columbiana County can be very proud of our 911 system and depend on it being there when they need it," he said.

Jurisdiction: Conflicts of Laws and the Indian Reservation: Solutions to Problems in Indian Civil Jurisdiction
Kevin Gover
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
American Indian Law Review, Vol. 8, p. 361, 1981
Jurisdiction over private civil disputes either arising on an Indian reservation or involving Indians as parties has been the subject of a great deal of case law covering a wide variety of situations. The Supreme Court has brought order to the law in this area in such cases as Williams v. Lee,' Kennerly v. District Court, and Fisher v. District Court.' However, several major issues remain unresolved by the Supreme Court decisions. Most are practical questions that arise as a result of the special jurisdictional rules that apply to Indian country. State courts and tribal governments are beginning to resolve some of these problems, often employing standard conflict of laws theories. This note will review the current law in the area, identify unresolved issues, and propose solutions suggested by the current law and literature. Special attention will be paid to familiar conflict of laws principles that can offer solutions to the problems.

Sour Cherry Imperial Stout Dials Back on the Density
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 3:57 p.m.

Blue Point Brewing Company
Sour Cherry Imperial
The addition of sour cherries enhances this Russian Imperial Stout from New York's Blue Point Brewing Company, based on Long Island.
Stouts of this style tend to be strong, rich and complex, more appropriate for sipping. Blue Point's Sour Cherry Imperial Stout dials back on the density, and lightens the complexity.
The result is a brew that's flavorful and refreshing for a beer of this strength — 9.2 percent alcohol by volume. Expect subtle flavors of mocha and cherry with a whiff of smoke. Contrary to its title, the beer isn't at all sour, but this limited release from Blue Point does deliver on the tart, cherry flavor.

A new bill, NAT GAS (New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions), has been proposed by U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV),and Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) which looks to push natural gas vehicles into the consumer mainstream. The proposal looks to offer a bevy of natural gas vehicle purchasing, refueling and manufacturing tax credits which would eclipse even current credits for electric vehicles.
People purchasing a light vehicle capable of running on natural gas would get a $12,500 tax credit, significantly more than the $7,500 credit offered for plug-in vehicles. Current tax credits for three other weight classes would double, up to a maximum of $80,000 for the largest vehicle class.
Bi-fuel (gas and natural gas) vehicles would also be eligible for a 50 percent incremental cost tax credit -- this means that 50 percent of the costs that companies assume from increasing production would be offset by tax credits. The bill would also make it 100 percent tax deductible (with some limitations) to build a facility which builds natural gas vehicles. The bill would also offer refueling stations up to $100,000 to provide natural gas vehicle refilling pumps.
The new bill was masterminded and heavily praised by oil and natural gas baron T. Boone Pickens. Mr. Pickens had made headlines last year, announcing a massive wind power project. Just last week, he essentially pulled the plug on the project, and called natural gas the "only option" for the U.S.
With his heavy natural gas holdings Mr. Pickens stands to make a small fortune if the bill should pass. Indeed, the natural gas industry as a whole would see a huge boost from the bill.
Natural gas vehicles run on methane, the primary component of natural gas. Methane engines run approximately as efficiently as gasoline/petrol engines, but are less efficient than diesel engines. Dual-mode engines suffer a 10 to 15 percent efficiency loss over gas-only engines, due to the higher octane number of 120-130.
quote: That is total BS.
quote: The electrical grid theoretically has the capacity but in many areas, mostly rural or brown out prone cities (CA), don't have sufficient power grid capacity for a radical transition to electric cars. Why do you think plug in hybrids are taking so long to implement? It's not the cars.

Millions saw the Academy Award-winning movie, and on April 15, millions upon millions took a moment to commemorate the centennial of the sinking of the most famous ship in the world. But one Bayfield couple took it even farther.
Roger and Debbie Pennington boarded the Balmoral to retrace the Titanic�s voyage (minus the close encounter with an iceberg, of course). One hundred years had passed for the great ship, and it was a two-and-a-half-year journey for the Penningtons.
The story is running in June because May is a busy month in Neighbors and, also known as La Plata County, and I didn�t have time until now to have a real conversation with them.
Debbie Pennington has been fascinated by the tragedy, the people who were lost and the whole emotional drama for more than 15 years. (Yes, before the James Cameron film.)
She has what she calls a �Titanic crate,� with books, newspaper clippings, copies of several Titanic movies, and now, memorabilia from the cruise. She has seen the Cameron film more than 200 times, wearing out one VHS tape and more than one DVD. For many of those screenings, her grandson Steven Stebnitz was her fellow enthusiast, starting when he was 6.
So when she read a small story in the Herald about the death of the last survivor of the Titanic, Millvina Dean, in May 2009, Pennington went online to read the article in the London Times, which mentioned the commemorative cruise. It only took a day to make the decision.
She booked two tickets, then said to her husband, �I hope you�re coming with me.�
While he says he likes his ice frozen � Roger Pennington is the president of the San Juan Sledders Snowmobile Club � he went along pretty good-naturedly with the �Titanic nuts,� as he calls them.
A member of the Victorian Aid Society, Debbie�s first thought was, �What will I wear?� About 13 outfits, it turns out, with day and evening dresses for each day at sea plus the only 1912 swimming dress on board. Her arrival at the hot tub in the swimsuit got her photographed in a shot seen round the world when Reuters picked it up. (Search Debbie Pennington Reuters to check out the shot.)
Roger, too, was dressed in period garb for much of the voyage, including an ensemble just like that worn by Leonardo DiCaprio�s character Jack Dawson, an authentic tuxedo from the era and a bowler hat and suspenders.
While many passengers dressed circa 1912 for the Captain�s Dinner, the Penningtons were among a smaller group who stayed in character throughout. In addition to her swimsuit photo, they were interviewed by Polish television, the BBC and another foreign television channel, probably Italian. (It�s hard to keep track when you�re a media sensation.)
While I�m on the subject of dinner, the menus are treasured souvenirs from the experience. Each meal included dishes that would have been served in all of the classes aboard, with selections such as sirloin steak with mustard sauce or roast lamb with strawberry-mint gravy from first class or curried chicken with rice or Irish stew with dumplings from second class. As you might imagine, the steerage offerings were much more simple, including cabbage au gratin or rice soup with root vegetables.
The cruise originally scheduled the exact same meal served in first class on April 14, 1912, for the evening of April 14, 2012, but upon reflection, decided that would be too much like a party on a night that should focus more on somber reflection.
So they served the meal on April 13, and it was a doozy in seven courses: quail eggs in aspic with caviar; consomm� Olga, a clear beef broth with cucumbers and scallops; asparagus salad; punch Romaine, a palate cleanser containing simple syrup, champagne, white wine, freshly squeezed orange juice and lemon juice; Calvados-roasted duck and filet mignon; Waldorf pudding; and a fruit and cheese tray. The recipe for Waldorf pudding is lost to time, but the R.M.S. Olympic served a Waldorf pudding in 1914 that was a vanilla pudding with a hint of nutmeg, diced apples and Sultana grapes.
The Balmoral was hours late pulling into Cobh, Ireland (pronounced Cove), the final port of call for the Titanic, after a night of heavy seas that included 30-foot waves. More than 5,000 people had gathered earlier at the docks, at the scheduled time, but 2,000 had waited on during the delay. Many sons and daughters of the Emerald Isle went down with the Titanic, and many more were connected through the building of the ship in Belfast, so it was an emotional time for all.
Of course, the ceremonies on the night of the 14th and early on April 15 were powerful, including a reading of the names of all 1,500-plus lost, a memorial service with a lot of hymns, and after three blasts of the ship�s horn and that of another ship, the Azamara, which sailed to the site from New York City, wreaths for those lost in the sinking were lowered to the sea.
Did you know that so many people have thrown mementos overboard at the Titanic site that the water is quite polluted? The Balmoral had to get special permission and assure authorities that their wreaths would be biodegradable to do this. I also didn�t know that scientists think the entire Titanic will dissolve in the next 50 years or so because of bacteria in the water.
Just a month before the Penningtons� trip, the identity of the Unknown Child, whose body was recovered because his coat trapped air after the sinking. It turned out one of the men who helped retrieve bodies had saved the 2-year-old�s shoes for a possible identification, not knowing that the entire family had died in the disaster. When the rescuers descendants found the shoes in the attic and asked the Maritime Museum if they wanted them, the possibilities of an identification opened up nearly a century later using the latest in technology.
DNA tests confirmed the toddler as Sidney Goodwin. No one came to claim him because none of his family survived. He is now buried with his parents and five brothers and sisters in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
I�m not going to get into a scientific debate over global warming, so hold your calls and emails, but one fact that most struck Roger Pennington was the difference in temperatures from April 15, 1912. The water that fateful night was minus 2 degrees Celsius or 28 degrees Fahrenheit, and most of the people who died perished from hypothermia. This year, the temperature was 14 degrees Celsius, or 57 degrees Fahrenheit.
The weather on the 14th was dreary, raining and gray. But during the ceremony on deck, the sky was clear, the stars shining bright and the sea calm. It might be wishful thinking, but I�m with Debbie Pennington. Someone greater than us was also marking the occasion.

I usually write about other people�s adventures being chronicled in magazines, but this time the story is a little more personal.
A few weeks ago, I got an email from my nephew Andy Miller telling me my father � his grandfather � was featured in the magazine America in World War II.
I need to clarify a tricky family tree here. This was my birth father, Lt. Col. John French McGaughey, who commanded the 145th Engineer Combat Battalion under Gen. George Patton.
He died when I was 2, and my mother�s second husband, Charlie Butler, adopted me when I was 3, hence the Butler surname. Miller is the son of Mary Jo, McGaughey�s daughter from his first marriage who was 20 years older than I and died when I was 16. There�s no one living who can tell us much about �French� as he was known, just as my nephew and I are learning about a fascinating chapter in his history.
Miller found some sketches about the famous �Kilroy was Here� in McGaughey�s war scrapbook and learned the magazine was running a feature on the graffiti, as it were, about the drawings left wherever American soldiers served.
The 145th left a lot of clever Kilroy was Here drawings both on the bridges they blew up to deny their usage to the Germans and the ones they rebuilt for the Allies. They spoofed everything from Parisian street bathrooms to Westerns and took a swipe at the ubiquitous powered eggs. Many of the drawings are reproduced in the piece.
It�s the June edition, and I got the last copy from Magpie�s Newsstand. I was unable to access the story on the magazine�s website, so most of you won�t get to see it, but it�s still pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

Struggling Buffalo Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers got the chance to restart his season Tuesday in Scotiabank Place, returning to the lineup against the Ottawa Senators after sitting out the previous two games as a healthy scratch.
"It feels good to be back in but I don't know if it's a relief," Myers said before the game. "I don't come here just to get in the lineup. I need to put together a solid defensive game and just build it from there."
Myers has been a defensive disaster for the Sabres thus far, and his minus-9 rating in 11 games entering the game was second-worst in the NHL (ahead of only the minus-10 posted by Los Angeles' Drew Doughty).
Myers had just one point, a goal in the season opener against Philadelphia. In his Calder Trophy-winning season of 2009-10, Myers had 11 goals, 48 points and a plus-13 rating. He started slowly last year as well and was a healthy scratch for a game in Montreal but responded positively to that move and the Sabres are hoping it can have a similar effect this time.
"Sitting out gives you the opportunity to watch the scope of the game from upstairs," coach Lindy Ruff said with a growing smirk. "It's an easy game from upstairs. Just ask all you guys.
"You see the mistakes, you see the plays that were available and you wonder why they didn't make them. You see the easy outs. I've had a couple really good meetings with him trying to get his head in the right place and ready to play."
Myers' struggles have been a flash-point issue for the Sabres, especially since he's in the first year of his seven-year, $38.5 million contract signed in September 2011. As part of the deal, Myers collected a $10 million signing bonus July 1.
"I've tried to work as hard as I can using the time I have to try to mentally get prepared and that's the biggest thing," Myers said. "I don't think at this point it's anything physical. It's just getting my head straight. ... It's amazing how much this game is upstairs. It's just a matter of putting my mind to it to respond like I did last year. This year, it's starting from ground zero. ... Just let it build from there."
The Sabres scratched Alexander Sulzer and T.J. Brennan on defense and tough guy John Scott up front. It was Scott's first scratch of the season. Sulzer leads the team's defensemen with three goals – more than all but four of the forwards – and is a plus-4 but was scratched for the second time.
"Some of it is based on what we're looking at in the game," Ruff said, referring to matchups against the Ottawa forwards. "Some of it is based on mobility of our defense and how they get involved."
Rookie Mikhail Grigorenko returned to the lineup after sitting out Sunday's loss to Boston as a healthy scratch, his first absence of the season.
The Sabres are finally getting a break from the crazily packed NHL schedule. Their next game is Friday against Boston in First Niagara Center. Buffalo hasn't had a two-day break since Jan. 22-23.
Counting Tuesday's game, only the Sabres and Flyers have played 14 times – and the Sabres did it in 24 days. The Sabres have already played four sets of back-to-back games but don't have another until March 2-3.
"I told the team we've gone through a very demanding stretch," Ruff said. "Advantageously, we don't play a back-to-back until next month. It's play, practice, play, practice, take a day [off]. It's starting to lean in our favor but we knew the schedule was tough."
Ruff on telling veteran center Matt Ellis he was being put on waivers: "It's not easy. Matt is a first-class citizen, a great guy and a hard worker. But at times like this, you've got to make hard decisions. We got to keep making them."
Ellis made his debut with the Amerks this season in Tuesday's 4-1 win at Lake Erie, a game that started at 10:45 a.m in Cleveland. He did not have a point. Phil Varone had two goals and two assists for the Amerks while Williamsville native David Leggio made 31 saves.
Sabres center Jochen Hecht played in his 800th career game and defenseman Jordan Leopold played in No. 600. Hecht is the 66th active NHL player to reach 800; he has played 580 with Buffalo while Leopold played in No. 164 with the Sabres. ... Tuesday was the fifth anniversary of Thomas Vanek's first career hat trick and it came here in a 5-1 win over the Senators on Feb. 12, 2008. ... How unusual was Saturday night's 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders? The Sabres were outshot, 43-15, and, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first time they had won a game when they were minus-28 or worse in shots on goal since a 3-1 win at Quebec on March 29, 1988. The Sabres were outshot that night, 47-19, as Daren Puppa made 46 saves.
