Science & Human Origins by Ann Gauger, Douglas Axe, and Casey Luskin
The recent Hollywood SciFi movie, Prometheus, by Ridley Scott (2012), is a good reminder of how fascinated we are with the story of our own origins. Finding clues left by extra terrestrial beings, scientists funded by motivated entrepreneurs, leave on a galactic journey to find the "Engineers" who seeded life on earth. What they find surprises them, and while they find some answers to "who" created us, they are left with the more disturbing question of "why" they create us.
Perhaps the movie provides us a little insight to the question of why every hominid bone discovery in Africa is hailed by anthropologists and media sources as the key missing link in explaining human origins. We just want to know where we came from. Standard scientific texts and news reports lead the average person to believe it has all been figured out according to Darwin's theory. The new discoveries are just filling in a few missing gaps in the evidence. That could not be farther from the truth. Scientists are nowhere closer to knowing the "who" or the "why" based on the evidence than they were 50 years ago. We frequently get requests for good texts that provide a critique of the Darwinian theory of human origins. What are we to make of the latest fossil finds from Africa or the claim that our DNA is almost identical to that of the chimpanzee? Until now there has not been a definitive text - just an article here or a chapter there. We are happy to recommend this brief text on the topic that is written with a general audience in mind.
The modern scientific creation story is that humans evolved from a common ancestor through the process of common descent and natural selection acting on unplanned genetic variations. The two lines of reasoning that are typically used to argue for our common ancestry with ape-like creatures are both based on similarity - similarity in anatomy, and similarity in DNA sequence. In this new book, Science & Human Origins, the authors take on both lines of argument and show that similarity between two complex structures does not reliably indicate an evolutionary path between them.
In chapters 1 and 2, Ann Gauger and Douglas Axe challenge the central claim that Darwin's undirected mechanism of natural selection is really capable of building a human being. In chapters 1, 3, and 4, Ann Gauger and Casey Luskin critically assess the genetic and fossil evidence that human beings share a common ancestor with apes. And in the final chapter, Ann Gauger refutes scientific claims that the human race could not have started from an original couple.
So whether it's for yourself, a high school or college student, or a friend at work, the next time someone claims that the fossil or DNA evidence proves we descended from a common ancestor according to Darwin's theory, this is the book you want in order to start examining the evidence and arguments in greater detail. Like the scientists from the movie Prometheus, we think you will be surprised by what you find.
On this episode of the ID The Future podcast, Casey Luskin talks with ARN Executive Director Dennis Wagner on the Access Research Network's Top 10 Science Stories of 2011. Gaining top honors on the list was the publication of the 50th peer-reviewed pro-ID scientific paper. Biomemetics, the field of science where man tries to mimic designs found in nature, made the top 10 list again this year with inventors from Harvard building a prototype butterfly and researchers in China reverse-engineering the woodpecker in order to build a better shock-absorbing system. Tune in to find out what else made science headlines in 2011.

In "Neanderthal home made of mammoth bones discovered in Ukraine" (PhysOrg.com December 19, 2011), Bob Yirka reports,
Up till recently, most researchers studying Neanderthals had assumed they were simple wanderers, hiding out in caves when the weather got bad. Now however, the discovery of the underpinnings of a house built by a group of Neanderthals, some 44,000 years ago, turns that thinking on its head. Discovered by a team of French archeologists from the Muséum National d'Histories Naturelle, in an area that had been under study since 1984, the home, as it were, was apparently based on mammoth bones. The team's findings are to be published in the science journal Quaternary International.Why must this stuff always be a surprise?
Actually, Darwinists desperately needed an ape man, to demonstrate the fabled ascent of man, and they co-opted the Neanderthals. Who appear to have quit the job.Over the past decade, new information regarding Neanderthals, a human ancestor that died out approximately 30,000 years ago, has come to light that tends to reverse decades of thinking. Instead of a clumsy, dim-witted people, it appears Neanderthals were more advanced than most had thought. Evidence of cooking, burying their dead, making jewelry and perhaps even speaking to one another has come to light indicating that first assumptions were a little harsh. Now, with the discovery of a home built by Neanderthals, it's clear they were far more sophisticated than anyone had imagined.
Perhaps even more interesting was the fact that some of the bones used to build the house had decorative carvings and added pigments clearly showing that those that built the house, were in fact, building a home.We told you. They quit. And their house might be worth more than yours nowadays ... well, it would get top marks for creative use of natural materials ...
One solution for the Darwinist would be to establish "ghost lineages" of ape men. They must have existed, and the speculations about them will be immune to correction by evidence.

In a remarkable departure from the usual "idiot child of evolutionary biology" fare provided by evolutionary psychology, from Was Darwin Wrong About Emotions?(ScienceDaily Dec. 13, 2011), we learn,
Contrary to what many psychological scientists think, people do not all have the same set of biologically "basic" emotions, and those emotions are not automatically expressed on the faces of those around us, according to the author of a new article published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal published by the Association for Psychological Science. This means a recent move to train security workers to recognize "basic" emotions from expressions might be misguided.Anyone who has managed a large number of people from diverse backgrounds will soon discover this fact. One smells lawsuits to come from security interventions based on crackpot evolution theory.
"What I decided to do in this paper is remind readers of the evidence that runs contrary to the view that certain emotions are biologically basic, so that people scowl only when they're angry or pout only when they're sad," says Lisa Feldman Barrett of Northeastern University, the author of the new paper.(Heretic!)
A very good point. Actors are expected to "show" emotions that the audience can interpret. But that's an elaborate repertoire. One reason most people "can't act" is that their real display repertoire doesn't travel well enough, and they can't master the repertoire.But Barrett (along with a minority of other scientists) thinks that expressions are not inborn emotional signals that are automatically expressed on the face. "When do you ever see somebody pout in sadness? When it's a symbol," she says. "Like in cartoons or very bad movies." People pout when they want to look sad, not necessarily when they actually feel sad, she says.
Some scientists have proposed that emotions regulate your physical response to a situation, but there's no evidence, for example, that a certain emotion usually produces the same physical changes each time it is experienced, Barrett says. "There's tremendous variety in what people do and what their bodies and faces do in anger or sadness or in fear," she says. People do a lot of things when they're angry. Sometimes they yell; sometimes they smile.And occasionally they show no apparent reaction but later go postal ...
Hope she's got tenure."Textbooks in introductory psychology says that there are about seven, plus or minus two, biologically basic emotions that have a designated expression that can be recognized by everybody in the world, and the evidence I review in this paper just doesn't support that view," she says. Instead of stating that all emotions fall into a few categories, and everyone expresses them the same way, Barrett says, psychologists should work on understanding how people vary in expressing their emotions.
But she may escape the Inquisition because, we are told, Darwin's sacred text "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" does not actually contain the claim attributed to him. Barrett tells us, "Darwin thought that emotional expressions -- smiles, frowns, and so on -were akin to the vestigial tailbone -- and occurred even though they are of no use." Which is equally nonsense, but not the same nonsense.

In "Are there Higgs bosons in space?" (Science on MSNBC.com, 12/14/2011), Natalie Wolchover asks,
"Rather than using a 17-mile-long collider, can't we just find them out there?", explaining, Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator near Geneva, Switzerland, report that they're hot on the trail of an elusive elementary particle known as the Higgs boson. It's only a matter of time before they'll have the infamous "God particle" in handcuffs, they say. But after years of particle- and head-bashing at the LHC, one burning question is whether there's an easier way to do this. Instead of constructing an 17-mile-long, high-energy collider to generate a Higgs particle from scratch, couldn't we just go look for one in nature?
Yet the little devils are explicitly avoiding the Large Hadron Collider ... hmmm ...John Gunion, first author of "The Higgs Hunter's Guide" (Basic Books, 1990) and a professor of physics at the University of California, Davis, said Higgs bosons regularly pop into existence all over space.

From "From whales to earthworms, the mechanism that gives shape to life" (News Mediacom, 14.10.11), we learn,
During the development of an embryo, everything happens at a specific moment. In about 48 hours, it will grow from the top to the bottom, one slice at a time – scientists call this the embryo's segmentation. "We're made up of thirty-odd horizontal slices," explains Denis Duboule, a professor at EPFL and Unige. "These slices correspond more or less to the number of vertebrae we have."
Every hour and a half, a new segment is built. The genes corresponding to the cervical vertebrae, the thoracic vertebrae, the lumbar vertebrae and the tailbone become activated at exactly the right moment one after another."
The process is astonishingly simple. In the embryo's first moments, the Hox genes are dormant, packaged like a spool of wound yarn on the DNA. When the time is right, the strand begins to unwind. When the embryo begins to form the upper levels, the genes encoding the formation of cervical vertebrae come off the spool and become activated. Then it is the thoracic vertebrae's turn, and so on down to the tailbone. The DNA strand acts a bit like an old-fashioned computer punchcard, delivering specific instructions as it progressively goes through the machine.
The punch line:"A new gene comes out of the spool every ninety minutes, which corresponds to the time needed for a new layer of the embryo to be built," explains Duboule. "It takes two days for the strand to completely unwind; this is the same time that's needed for all the layers of the embryo to be completed." This system is the first "mechanical" clock ever discovered in genetics. And it explains why the system is so remarkably precise.
The Hox clock is a demonstration of the extraordinary complexity of evolution.Or of something.
Happily, these guys don't offer a hoked-up "evolutionary" explanation.

In "U.S. Will Not Finance New Research on Chimps" (New York Times, December 15, 2011), James Gorman reports,
The National Institutes of Health on Thursday suspended all new grants for biomedical and behavioral research on chimpanzees and accepted the first uniform criteria for assessing the necessity of such research. Those guidelines require that the research be necessary for human health, and that there be no other way to accomplish it.The announcement was not controversial. Not much chimp research is going on in medicine; it's expensive and usually unnecessary. And the ban exempts the usual "chimps r' us" stap of the pop science media:
For behavioral and genomic experiments, the report recommended that the research should be done on chimps only if the animals are cooperative, and in a way that minimizes pain and distress. It also said that the studies should "provide otherwise unattainable insight into comparative genomics, normal and abnormal behavior, mental health, emotion or cognition."Notably,
In making the announcement, Dr. Francis S. Collins, the director of the N.I.H., said that chimps, as the closest human relatives, deserve "special consideration and respect" and that the agency was accepting the recommendations released earlier in the day by an expert committee of the Institute of Medicine, which concluded that most research on chimpanzees was unnecessary.Of course, the key question is, what's to become of the (probably) thousands of chimps who are no longer grant attractors?

Here's some useful work by new Zealand scientists: By themselves, the New Caledonian crows didn't know what the thirsty crow knew in the famous Aesop's fable: He dropped pebbles into a nearly empty pitcher until the much-sought water ended up at the top. But given hints, ...
Crows saw a tube partially filled with water. Inside the tube was a bite of meat, stuck onto a piece of wood that floated below their reach. Small stones were sitting nearby. If you're thinking that you might not have been able to solve this puzzle, rest assured--the birds didn't get it either.
This suggests that smarter animals do not so much abstract a solution to a proble4m but take available hints from their environment. Makes sense.After making sure the crows didn't naturally know how to solve the puzzle, the researchers gave the birds a hint. This time, the crows saw the same tube, floating meat, and stones. But there was a platform next to the top of the tube with a couple stones sitting on it, too. As the crows attempted to jam their beaks far enough into the tube to reach the meat, they tended to accidentally knock the stones into the tube. After doing this several times and noticing how the water level rose, all the crows eventually figured out the trick. They began dropping stones into the tube on purpose to get the meat.

Well, isn't that the key epigenetics question - what we really want to know.
From "Why Does the Same Mutation Kill One Person but Not Another?" (ScienceDaily, Dec. 7, 2011), we learn:
The vast majority of genetic disorders (schizophrenia or breast cancer, for example) have different effects in different people. Moreover, an individual carrying certain mutations can develop a disease, whereas another one with the same mutations may not. This holds true even when comparing two identical twins who have identical genomes. But why does the same mutation have different effects in different individuals?Some researchers propose,
"In the last decade we have learned by studying very simple organisms such as bacteria that gene expression -- the extent to which a gene is turned on or off -- varies greatly among individuals, even in the absence of genetic and environmental variation. Two cells are not completely identical and sometimes these differences have their origin in random or stochastic processes. The results of our study show that this type of variation can be an important influence the phenotype of animals, and that its measurement can help to reliably predict the chance of developing an abnormal phenotype such as a disease ."This team's own research looked at the worm C. Elegans, the space shuttle blowup survivor. C. Elegans is too simple to feature many complicating factors.
They note,
The work suggests that, even if we completely understand all of the genes important for a particular human disease, we may never be able to predict what will happen to each person from their genome sequence alone. Rather, to develop personalised and predictive medicine it will also be necessary to consider the varying extent to which genes are turned on or off in each person.Goodbye, "genetics is destiny."
There is a sense in which no one can tell you why your brother died and you didn't. Perhaps some day they can point to a gene abnormality that affected him fatally and you minimally - and offer a credible explanation of the cascade of outcomes. But that's it. Some of what we need to know can only be addressed by philosophy, not science.

07/13/2011 - The European Union on Wednesday proposed a major overhaul of its fisheries policy, including the creation of a market in fishing rights.But environmentalists said that the plan did not address the overcapacity of the bloated European fleet...."It's absolutely not clear how they intend to allocate the rights in the first place," said Markus Knigge, a fisheries policy adviser to the Pew Environment Group. "What you want is for the most ecologically sustainable fisheries to end up with the rights.""The fear is that they won't even say you have to take environmental and social factors into consideration," Mr. Knigge added, "but rather just hand over the rights to those who have been overfishing."Read the article European Union Proposes Overhaul of Fisheries Policy in its entirety on the New York Times Web site.

ATLANTA (Aug. 31, 2011) – Yesterday, 13 organizations kicked off Childhood Cancer Awareness month by launching a new initiative to help fight childhood cancer. The Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance was created to be the driving force in increasing awareness of childhood cancer and enhancing support for the young people fighting this disease as well as the clinicians and researchers who are helping them. The alliance is comprised of organizations with a common goal -- to care for children living with cancer and to cure the disease.
Cancer is a battle too many of our young children and teenagers must face every day. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children from birth to age 15. Each year, more than 10,000 new cases of childhood cancer are diagnosed—approximately 46 children and adolescents every day.
"We've made great strides in the search for a cure for childhood cancer over the past 25 years, but we have to do much more to save the lives of countless children," said Howard Katzenstein, M.D., Director of the Innovative Therapy Program at the Aflac Cancer Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Director of Clinical Research at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Emory School of Medicine . "These wonderful organizations within the Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance are stimulating research, caring for kids with cancer, raising awareness of the disease – and want others to join in the fight to save lives."
Founding members of the Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance include: The Aflac Cancer Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta , Aflac Inc. , Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities , Blue Skies , Brain Tumor Foundation for Children , Camp Sunshine , CURE Childhood Cancer , Curing Kids Cancer , Georgia Cancer Coalition , Ian's Friends Foundation , Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta , The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Lighthouse Family Retreat .
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal kicked off the effort by signing a proclamation at an event just for children battling cancer to declare September as Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Throughout the month, the initiative hopes to utilize traditional and social media to encourage people to learn more about childhood cancer and to get involved by educating others, volunteering or making donations through member organizations.
In addition to Georgia's Governor and member organizations, celebrities like Cindy Crawford and her partners at Rooms To Go are lending their support to the cause through social media channels like Twitter and Facebook. Aflac , Inc. will launch a national media campaign including television, billboards, advertising and social media – and will sell an iconic Childhood Cancer Awareness Aflac Duck with all proceeds benefitting childhood cancer research. Other member organizations will be executing various events and campaigns for childhood cancer awareness.
To find out more about the Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance and how to get involved through member organizations, please visit www.stopchildhoodcancer.org . Every person you educate, every hour you volunteer and every dollar you donate makes a difference.

by the way, i've decided not to take any more missions unless asked personally because i think you guys should get the chance first. but... i will be posting my own SOS should the occasion arise!
c_war | #17 Subject: it's Posted: 09/24/2006 20:53:10 |
called an SOS because it signifies urgency. That's why those two letters recieved the shortest signs in morse/flash codes. The code is actually older than that, dating to flag codes and such.
Anyways, that was off topic. I just want help. |
poetfox | #18 Subject: Giving it a try... Posted: 09/25/2006 18:22:31 |

i have already beaten all three legendary bird pokemon, zapdos, moltres, and articuno, met up with the ninetails that cleared my name as the "evil human turned pokemon" and beat the mankey gang who are building me a new rescue base. i'm a LvL 26 charmander with mudkip as my partner (farfetch'd or absol are great thrid partner), i just want to know if you can evolve or not? anyone?
c_war | #20 Subject: Um. Posted: 09/25/2006 19:16:10 |
from what I've seen, I think so. I thought I saw the evolved forms in the game videos.
Hey, you're further than me, want to come save me? (see code further below.) |
DarkCubarica... | #21 Subject: Beat me to it Posted: 09/26/2006 11:35:11 |
Looks like someone beat me to making this club but i'm glad I can start rescueing others i may have spelled that wrong)
I'll be doing some rescues and then i guess send you back the rescue password via PM ^ ^. DarkCubarican, OUT! ^ ^ |
PlasmaticFra... | #22 Subject: c_war Posted: 09/26/2006 11:38:03 |
dp i need to be wi-fi-ed to rescue you or do i just put the code in, and send the code as a msg to my page and i'll see what i can do, yo.
DarkCubarica... | #23 Subject: Invalid code: C_war Posted: 09/26/2006 12:22:51 |

andymike221 | #26 Subject: curious... Posted: 09/27/2006 08:51:17 |
what level is everyone on?
DarkCubarica... | #27 Subject: Can You Evolve? Posted: 09/27/2006 10:09:29 |
The answer is yes, but not until you beat the game. Once you beat the game a cave opens up under Whiscash and you can take one pokemon at a time to the evolution stone (it lets you evolve if you have met the evolution requirements).
PlasmaticFra... | #28 Subject: ok.... Posted: 09/27/2006 18:32:36 |

Google on Friday announced that it would soon be able to show users' names, photos, ratings and comments in ads across the Web, endorsing marketers' products.
New York Times, Google to Sell Users' Endorsements, via thefutureofnews
"Facebook has been aggressively marketing social endorsements, which it calls sponsored stories. For example, if you post that you love McDonald's new Mighty Wings on the chain's Facebook page, McDonald's could pay Facebook to broadcast your kind words to all your friends."
"Twitter also enables advertisers to show public tweets in their ads, but requires advertisers to get the permission of the original author of a message before using it in an ad."
Nothing to see here. This is just the natural movement of companies finding ways to monetize the personal information you give them. If you don't want to be in an ad, don't endorse products online.
FJP: To opt out of Google's "shared endorsements," head here. Scroll to the bottom of the page and uncheck the box.
Related: Citing lack of use of its universal privacy controls, Facebook announced earlier this week that it was doing away with them and instead asks Users to select privacy settings on a post by post basis.
The caveat, of course, is that when Facebook says only a few percent of its Users use something, we're talking millions of people.
Instagram, the photo-sharing app that Facebook acquired last year, just added the ability to share videos, as well. It's a copy of Vine, which is owned by chief rival Twitter. But whereas Vine lets users upload videos up to 6 seconds long, Instagram has opted for a maximum length of 15 seconds, and the difference is more significant than just 9 seconds.
Which, according to Quartz, is a strategic move:
An Instagram with 15-second videos is right in the sweet spot for Facebook: It's mobile, it's video, and at that length, it means that advertisers can drop in their short television spots without even modifying them. This is an important but overlooked feature of online video ads, when compared to other kinds like banner and search: the ability to re-use the same creative on which advertisers have already spent so much money. That's an extremely appealing advantage to ad buyers.
FJP: Interesting take. 15 seconds does feel a bit long for the Instagram attention span. Here's a Digiday round-up of reactions to Instagram video.
Via paidContent:
The latest circulation gains for the NYT and others came courtesy of the Alliance for Audited Media (formerly known as the Audit Bureau of Circulations), an industry group composed of advertising agencies and publishers. The group noted that the numbers are not really comparable to the previous year's results for a number of reasons, including the fact that some newspapers have launched new subscription formats, stopped printing every day and so on.
As Edmund Lee at Bloomberg points out, the AAM survey — which is somewhat ironically locked behind a paywall — also allows publishers to count their readers multiple times, according to rules adopted recently by the group. In other words, newspapers can count someone who reads the newspaper in print, on the web and on their Kindle as three separate readers. But doesn't this inflate their readership numbers unreasonably? It sure does. The bottom line is that no one really knows what the "real" readership numbers are for newspapers.
Some argue this has always been the case with newspapers, which is true: publishers have routinely engaged in all kinds of shady tricks to boost their circulation — including special discounts for bulk purchases by hotels and airlines and other giveaways, and even dumping large quantities into ravines or pulping them after printing. On top of that, many papers have inflated their readership numbers for years by claiming that each copy gets read by as many as five people, an estimate that borders on the ridiculous.
If advertising is meant to be aspirational, these ads [in men's magazines] are presenting a pretty sad version of what American men can aspire to be. And advertisers aren't selling this hyper-masculine ideal to just any man: They're specifically targeting the younger, poorer, less-educated guys in the supermarket aisle. In the latest issue of the journal Sex Roles, a trio of psychologists at the University of Manitoba analyzed the advertising images in a slate of magazines targeted at men, from Fortune to Field and Stream. They counted up the ads that depict men as violent, calloused, tough, dangerous, and sexually aggressive—what the researchers call "hyper-masculine"—then indexed them with the magazine's target demographics. Hyper-masculine images, the researchers found, are more likely to be sold to adolescents, who find higher "peer group support" for manly-man behaviors. They're also sold to working-class men, who are "embedded in enduring social and economic structures in which they experience powerlessness and lack of access to resources" like political power, social respect, and wealth, and so turn to more widely accessible measures of masculine worth—like "physical strength and aggression."

Overall Rating: 4.3 Often the bumper stickers cannot be peeled from their backing because the cut on the edge is not properly done. This causes a lot of problems. My sales-person, Stacy D., is always very nice and helpful, so that is why I keep buying your product. Otherwise, I would be looking for another printer. I realize that I'm buying one of your lower cost products, but it is VERY frustrating when you can't properly remove the sticker from the backing! This is my only concern. Thanks. Tim H.

Natural gas outages throughout the state prompt Guv Martinez to declare a state of emergency and send state workers home. 2. Mayor Berry makes like Jimmy Carter, says: lower your thermostat 10 degrees, wear a sweater. I used my fireplace and turned off the gas last night, so don't blame me. Public Comments |

Big Butz BBQ Seasonings
You know, it doesn't really surprise me but, a lot of people still don't know that we have our own line of rubs & Seasonings. Right now we have 4.5 Rubs/seasonings.
Chicken Dust Pig Pollen Cow Pow Gettin' Roasted (the newest Season All) Carolina Magic (I give this one a .5 because it's really a sauce mix at heart.) The newest Season All (Gettin' Roasted) is some really good stuff but, tonight I was reminded of just how good another one is. I made chicken leg quarters on the grill tonight. Most people would think that there was nothing special to this, and for the most part they would be right. But, when I brought them in and served them to my family, my wife, who is my toughest critic says "Damn, you make some good chicken." Now, anyone who has been frustrated by chicken knows how huge of a compliment this can be but, here is the kicker. Until I came out with our Chicken Dust, she would not eat any grilled chicken without BBQ Sauce on it. Now, if it's got Chicken Dust on it, she'll eat it straight without even batting an eye at it. My kids will actually eat the skin off a piece of chicken with it on it and then ask for BBQ Sauce for dipping afterwards. I don't know about you all but, that is some of the highest praise I can ever get for a product. And don't even get me started on the Pig Pollen! Then again, I'm sure there are some other Brethren who have tried our rubs/seasonings that could say more about it than me.

Great reviews Chris. I finally ordered some sauce the other day on the recomendation of many brethren, somehow the rubs escaped me. After seeing your reviews, i'm thinking I know what to order next time. Can't wait to try the sauces this time though.

He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. In this Article
Define schedules and routinesClearly defined, while not rigid, schedules and routines are essential for children (as well as for teens and adults) with ADHD. Having an established, while not inflexible, pattern for getting ready in the mornings, preparing for bedtime, and managing after school homework and activities provides a sense of consistency and allows the child to know what to expect. It is also easier for the child to remember and follow rules and routines when these do not vary very often. It can be helpful for older children to have plenty of conspicuous clocks to use as cues for time management. Some parents find that the use of timers (for homework time, time to finish up play, etc.) helps for younger children. To make the process more enjoyable or easier to remember, charts and checklists can be used that list the steps or tasks required for each time of day. For example, the "morning checklist" can include items like making the bed, brushing teeth, and helping prepare school lunch. Hang the checklists in a conspicuous place and allow your child to check off completed items as they are done, if he/she wishes. Set clear rules and expectationsAs with clearly defined schedules, attainable, clearly defined rules and expectations are also essential for kids with ADHD. In both school and at home, children with ADHD need a consistent and clearly defined set of rules. It can be helpful to create a list of rules for the home and post them in a place where the child can easily see them. It's very important to stick to the rules and provide fair and consistent rewards and consequences (see below) when the household rules are not followed. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

A short philtrum is a shorter than normal distance between the upper lip and the nose.
The philtrum is the groove that runs from the top of the lip to the nose.
The length of the philtrum is passed down from parents to their children through genes. This groove is shortened in people with certain conditions.
There is usually no home care needed for a short philtrum. However, if this is only one symptom of another disorder, follow your doctor's instructions on how to care for the condition.
Call your health care provider if you notice a short philtrum on your child.
An infant with a short philtrum may have other symptoms and signs that, when taken together, define a specific syndrome or condition. The doctor will diagnose that condition based on a family history, medical history, and physical exam.
Medical history questions may include:
Tests to diagnose a short philtrum:
If your health care provider diagnosed a short philtrum, you may want to note that diagnosis in your personal medical record.
