1. BBC: "Protoceratops Dinosaur found with its own tracks"
Skeleton in the closet puts its foot down.
This week:
Languishing for half a century in a Polish Museum, an ordinary Protoceratops sat on its secret until paleontologists needed an exhibit for the Polish Academy of Science. While preparing the specimen, Grzegorz Niedzwiedzki and Tomasz Singer noticed a matching footprint fossilized beneath the dinosaur's pelvic bones. The dinosaur fossil came from the Gobi Desert, which is home to many fossilized footprints, but none like this one.
"The Djadokhta Formation of the Gobi Desert [where this specimen was found] is known for the number and diversity of dinosaur and other vertebrate bones and skeletons found there, but only theropod, hadrosaur and supposed ankylosaurid footprints have been reported from this stratum. . . . Although Protoceratops is an extremely common dinosaur in Mongolia, its footprints have never previously been reported from the Late Cretaceous of the Gobi Desert."1 Furthermore, the authors of the report published in Cretaceous Research write, "This is possibly the first find of a dinosaur track in close association with an articulated skeleton."1
Fossil footprint identification is not as simple as it sounds, explains Denver geology professor Martin Lockley. "Generally, we find it very hard even to match dinosaurs with their footprints at the species level," he explained. "We have a couple of examples in the literature where we say, 'we're almost certain that this footprint belongs to this species', but this is an animal actually dead in its tracks."
There could be a lot more examples waiting to be found, but the practicalities of fossil preparation may get in the way. "Traditionally," Lockley adds, "palaeontologists look for nice skeletons, and in order to get those out of the rock, they're discarding the matrix. So lots of tracks have been overlooked."
The uniqueness of the discovery rests in the fact that the footprint was found with a dinosaur skeleton at all. Dinosaur trackways are typically not found in the same deposits as skeletons. According to London paleontologist Paul Barrett, "Trackways usually come from beach deposits, [but] bones are normally found in river channels, where perhaps the animals drowned and were quickly buried and preserved."
Lockley hopes the find will prompt paleontologists to look harder for these associations because he believes tracks will yield a lot of information about the lives of their owners. He says, "When palaeontologists deal with skeletons, they're dealing with death and decay. But with tracks you can tell how much it weighed, how it moved, if it was running or walking. You can even tell if it was limping. With tracks you're dealing with the living animals."
Well, at least you're reminded that they used to be. After all, as Professor Lockley adds, "I think a lot of these dinosaurs could have been caught in flash flooding. . . . If you want to become a fossil, you need to get buried quickly."
Well, the same can be said of a fossilized footprint. The footprint, having been pressed into a material with reasonably cement-like qualities, would need to be rapidly buried. So how, many people ask, can a footprint get preserved as a fossil? For those that believe slow geologic processes cause fossilization, there is the question of why footprints wouldn't erode or be simply dissipated by lengthy exposure to the elements before they could be preserved. For young-earth creationists who believe that most fossils formed during the Flood or in its aftermath, there is the question of why the turbulent Floodwaters failed to obliterate the footprints.
The article in Cretaceous Research states, "The track is preserved in reddish-brown sandstone, cemented by carbonate and silica matrix."2 The carbonate would give the matrix its cement-like quality. But carbonate is a mineral generally associated with mineral-laden water. The Gobi is now a desert. According to the journal article, the Gobi "preserves an arid habitat of sand dunes, with little fresh water apart from oases and arroyos [gully cut by water]."3 The carbonate in the Gobi sandstone suggests a time when it was subjected to mineral-laden water, consistent with the time of the global Flood.
There is additional evidence that the Gobi and the tracks it preserves were once underwater. Sand blown by wind characteristically deposits itself in banded cross-beds at an angle of 30-34 degrees. Sand carried by underwater waves typically deposits itself at an angle of 25 degrees. The cross-beds in the Djadokhta Formation's sandstone are "consistently at an angle of 25 degrees"4 indicative of a history of underwater deposition.
So, how could the Flood explain track preservation? When the Floodwaters were rising—something Genesis 7:17–18 documents they did for many days—there would have been surges and regressions of water under the influence of volcanic-related seismic activity and tides. Surges of ocean water would have brought in carbonate-laden water and left behind sediments into which animal footprints could have been pressed. Additional surges bearing more loads of sediment could then rapidly bury tracks set in the cement-like carbonate-rich sand, preserving the fossil impressions. (Flash floods usually wash things away rather than deposit loads of sand for rapid burial.)
This Flood model of track fossilization also explains why tracks are rarely preserved with their owners. Fleeing animals overwhelmed by later surges of water would usually be carried away for deposition elsewhere. Apparently, this particular dinosaur—assuming the skeleton and the track belong to the same individual—experienced its death moments after making this track. Interestingly, since Professor Lockley reminds us that we can make some educated guesses about behavior based on footprints, we should note in the photographs and diagrams2 that only the front part of the foot left its impression to be preserved. This suggests the animal may have been on its tiptoes in high water or climbing uphill—perhaps to escape rising water—just before it succumbed.
The Bible does explain what we see in the world. Read more about the ways footprints can fossilize in Fossilized Footprints—A Dinosaur Dilemma.

2. Earth Times: "The jumping fish with a tale of the earliest land creatures"
Leaping blenny leads the way to land.
Many fish have an amphibious streak in their behavior, but the Pacific leaping blenny is "one of the rare living examples of a fish that spends the vast majority of its time on land."5 The blenny is native to intertidal zones on the rocky coasts of Micronesia. Because the blenny has "made a highly successful transition to land,"5 Dr. Terry Ord spent some time observing the blenny's behavior hoping to discover some evolutionary secrets of our aquatic past.
"The Pacific leaping blenny offers a unique opportunity to discover in a living animal how a water-land transition has taken place," says Dr Ord.
We know that our ancient ancestors evolved originally from lobe-finned fish but, today, all such fish are fully aquatic. Within the blenny family, however, are species that are either highly terrestrial, amphibious or entirely aquatic. Remarkably, representatives of all these types can be found on or around Guam, making it a unique evolutionary laboratory.
The fish of course does not have lungs and therefore must "stay moist to enable it to breathe through its gills and skin," Ord explains. Blennies also do not have limbs but manage to squirm around on the wet rocks. Ord adds, "I can tell you they are very hard to catch and are extremely agile on land. They move quickly over complex rocky surfaces using a unique tail-twisting behaviour combined with expanded pectoral and tail fins that let them cling to almost any firm surface. To reach higher ground in a hurry, they can also twist their bodies and flick their tails to leap many times their own body length."
Blennies do not voluntarily return to the water, avoiding submersion in spite of the incoming waves. Male blennies are territorial and try to attract females to their rock holes. In fact, blennies must restrict almost all their activities "to a brief period at mid-tide." Then the water is high enough to keep them moist but low enough to keep them from being swept out to sea.
Dr. Ord believes that these fish "provide a unique opportunity to study the various steps—essentially 'evolutionary snapshots'—in the invasion of land by marine fish as well as the selection pressures faced at different stages during a major ecological transition."5 But she says the blennies' territorial possibilities are quite "constrained by their evolutionary history."6
By evolutionary standards, the blenny's move toward land should have provided a survival advantage if those adaptations were to be preserved. Instead, the "evolutionary" changes evidently restricted this fish to a very limited survivable environment. Dr. Ord admits, "At the end of the day, they are still fish, and fish are more suited to life in water, not on land."6
The blenny is not making any evolutionary progress toward becoming a terrestrial creature. It does not have lungs. It does not have legs. Nor does it have the beginnings of them. It is breathing using the same anatomical equipment God equipped aquatic creatures with on the fifth day of Creation. It is actually fairly restricted in its habitat, perhaps due to a loss of genetic variability within its created kind. But it certainly has not acquired the information to become a land animal. It's a fish.
Do have a look at some good photos of this creature God created at news.nationalgeographic.com and video footage of it leaping across wet rocks at www.earthtimes.org.

3. Nature: "How gypsy moth is kept high to die"
Gypsy moth virus packs a weapon of mass dispersion.
Parasites affecting behavior seem like sci-fi. Yet fungi that turn ants into obedient zombies7 and parasitic Toxoplasma8 that makes rats lose their fear of cats are strange realities. The gypsy moth caterpillar is a viral victim that dies in the optimal location to spread its attacker far and wide. The question has been, "Why?"
Researchers from Penn State and Harvard have uncovered the gene behind this gruesome reality. Gypsy moth caterpillars normally munch leaves in the tops of trees at night and descend to hide during the day and also to molt. But caterpillars infected with baculoviruses, "just before death, . . . climb to the top of their host trees to die, liquefy, and release millions of infective virus particles, with dispersal facilitated by rainfall."9 Baculovirus infection is aptly called "tree top disease."
Since the virus affects climbing behavior, Kelli Hoover's team hypothesized that the virus deactivated a hormone that triggers molting. Hormones, because they normally have a number of related effects in an organism, would be the logical targets for behavior-affecting parasites.
The team confirmed that the virus carries a gene called egt. This gene encodes for an enzyme that deactivates the molting hormone. Not being hormonally prompted to stay in the bottom of the trees, the caterpillar climbs to the treetops, dies, and rains its deadly viral load upon a large cohort of its neighbors.
To test their hypothesis, the team infected caterpillars with normal baculoviruses and with viruses minus their egt gene. Those affected by egt imitated the high altitude death by climbing to the tops of their tall plastic bottles. Those infected with defective viruses stayed in the bottom to die.
The finding is most significant because it demonstrates a genetic mechanism by which "extended phenotype" can be expressed. The term extended phenotype was coined by evolutionist Richard Dawkins. The term refers to the fact that while a gene can only code for production of a protein, the extended phenotype for that gene should rightly include all effects that the gene has on all organisms it affects.
"Interfering with the hormonal system is the most elegant way to influence complex traits such as behaviour," says Hoover. Leeds Parasitologist Glenn McConkey agrees, "For a parasite gene to affect something as complex as host behaviour, it must be modifying something neural and that means either hormones or neurotransmission."
David Hughes, who has also worked with zombie ants, says, "To me this moves the concept of the extended phenotype forward in quite a dramatic fashion. This is the first empirical evidence that a gene in the body of one organism can have a direct effect on another organism."
While Dawkins considered the concept to be his great contribution to evolutionary theory, the concept actually relates to natural selection of organisms. No new kind of organism is coming into existence. Natural selection is optimizing parasitic opportunities by "rewarding" the most effective dispersal strategies.
We can be confident, based on God's declaration, that the original Creation was very good. In the beginning therefore there were no dissolving caterpillars dripping their disintegrated parts on the forest below. But viruses, acting as vectors to facilitate the exchange of bits of genetic information, would have helped microorganisms adapt to changing conditions and survive to fulfill their complex ecological roles.10
In a world gone wrong after the Fall and the Curse, a combination of mutations, horizontally transferred genes, environmental changes, and host changes have left us with a number of harmful viruses and other microorganisms. But no new kinds of organisms are evolving. The infected caterpillars are still gypsy moth caterpillars and the baculoviruses are still baculoviruses. Natural selection operating on the extended phenotype is nicely demonstrated, but no evolution is happening.

4. BBC: "Glasgow University in bid to create 'inorganic life"
Is it animal, vegetable, mineral, . . .or all-of-the-above?
Inorganic life? Is it possible? Well, that's what Glasgow University Professor Lee Cronin is trying to create. All life as we know it is based on carbon, an element of remarkable versatility. But could life exist with a different kind of chemistry—a chemistry not based on carbon?
Cronin's efforts involve getting "polyoxometalates" in solution to self-assemble into spheres he calls iCHELLS. He has been able get them to self-replicate using each other as templates.11 Now he is trying to get them to respond to environmental changes in a true survival-of-the-fittest manner. He says, "I think we have just shown the first droplets that can evolve."12
Publicity surrounding Professor Cronin's goals focuses on the evolutionary implications of his research. How do we define life? Frankly, neither creationists nor evolutionists can offer a good definition of life but instead describe its attributes. Professor Cronin says, "What we are trying do is create self-replicating, evolving, inorganic cells that would essentially be alive. You could call it inorganic biology." These cells would be divided into membrane-bound compartments in order to allow controlled interaction of various chemical reactions within the cell, "just like biological cells."
Thus we see that the essential attributes Cronin wishes his new life-forms to have are the abilities to reproduce and to evolve. The definition of self-replicating is pretty obvious. But how does Cronin define evolve? Some people insist that every adaptation and variation within a kind of organism is evolution. They usually assert that such observable occurrences demonstrate that an accumulation of mutations will also evolve new kinds of organisms. An additional aspect of unobservable evolution is the molecules-to-man notion that life can spontaneously arise from random interaction of non-living components. Cronin's remarks suggest he would opt for both latter definitions.
Explaining his underlying purpose, Cronin says, "The grand aim is to construct complex chemical cells with life-like properties that could help us understand how life emerged and also to use this approach to define a new technology based upon evolution in the material world - a kind of inorganic living technology. . . . Bacteria are essentially single-cell micro-organisms made from organic chemicals, so why can't we make micro-organisms from inorganic chemicals and allow them to evolve?"
"If successful," he adds, "this would give us some incredible insights into evolution and show that it's not just a biological process. It would also mean that we would have proven that non carbon-based life could exist and totally redefine our ideas of design."
Well, Cronin's project is already out of the running for a molecules-to-man demonstration since it starts out as intelligent design, at best. "Making" and "constructing" what amounts to tiny self-sustaining, self-replicating multi-chambered floating batteries may "refine our ideas of design," but it won't demonstrate anything about "how life emerged" through random undirected molecular interactions.
As to developing "a new technology based upon evolution in the material world," we fear there wouldn't be much of a market for its applications, at least not for long. If this new technology were to be a sort of biomimicry based on truly evolutionary principles, then mistakes and defects should never be repaired but rather allowed to keep working until they self-destruct.
Does Cronin expect his inorganic cells to independently acquire the information to become an entirely new kind of cell—and to do so by making a whole bunch of mistakes? In biology those mistakes in replication are called mutations and evolutionary principles dictate that favorable mutations can accumulate until they produce a whole new kind of organism. However, in the world of engineering, defects are considered flaws, not stepping stones to a whole new plane of existence.
When a defect results in a useful discovery, it does so by losing information and failing to function as originally intended. Take for example the famed serendipitous discovery of post-it notes. Not sticking too well has its advantages for certain applications, but not in most settings where adhesion is needed. An engineer would not remain employed if he simply left a machine un-maintained hoping it would eventually accumulate enough mistakes to become a new kind of improved machine.
Tiny machines that can maintain and clone themselves could have intriguing applications, but to suppose this project will give us insight into how life evolved is nonsense.

5. Columbia University: "First Lizard Genome Sequenced: Green Anole Lizard's Genome Sheds Light On Vertebrate Evolution"
Lizard's genomic agility unravels the mystery of modern life.
The green anole lizard has the honor of being the first real reptile13 to have its genome sequenced. Many evolutionists believe that reptiles and mammals diverged from a common ancestor 320 million years ago and that reptiles split into a bird-branch and a lizard-branch 280 million years ago. By comparing the lizard's genome to chickens and humans, the team publishing in Nature believes it has discovered how far we've all flown from that original tree.
Any sort of similarity between the lizard and birds or mammals was interpreted as evidence of common ancestry. So was any difference. By assuming that evolution occurred, the researchers simply decorated the evolutionary tree with their data.
First, the team noted both reptiles and birds have small chromosomes and large chromosomes. Mammals do not. But birds have a lot more of the tiny chromosomes. Therefore, they conclude that the bird-lizard common ancestor had microchromosomes. As evolution progressed, either birds developed more or some lizard microchromosomes fused.
The researchers found that many paired genes showed up in the microchromosomes of both lizard and chicken. Again, evidence for common ancestry. But the banding pattern common to birds and humans did not appear in the lizard, so they said the chemical pattern that produces the banding must have "eroded"14 in the lizard lineage. And in examining the genes coding for egg-related genes, the team determined that placental mammals have lost some egg-related genes, of course assuming that the common ancestor had those genes.
In comparing the 17,472 protein-coding genes of the green anole to the genes of eight other vertebrates (human, mouse, dog, opossum, platypus, chicken, zebra finch, and pufferfish), the team found 3,994 genes "that have not been duplicated or deleted in any of these vertebrates since their last common ancestor." They then used the differences to construct a phylogenetic tree in order to "illuminate the history" of origins.
Delighted with a discovery related to human origins, researcher Jessica Alföldi noted that "Anoles have a living library of transposable elements," bits of DNA that don't code for anything and show up in lots of different locations. About a hundred of these were able to be matched up with counterparts on the human genome. Therefore, she concludes, "In anoles, these transposons are still hopping around, but evolution has used them for its own purposes, turning them into something functional in humans." Pleased to have learned where humans got these non-coding genetic elements, she explains, "Sometimes you need to be at a certain distance in order to learn about how the human genome evolved."
This comparative genetic study was certainly exhaustive, but the interpretation of the data in the shadow of the evolutionary tree of life is unjustified and unproven. Knowing that God designed all organisms to live in the same world, we should not be surprised to find that genes coding for the same proteins are needed in many, explaining the similarities across kinds. Each creature created in Creation week was fully equipped with the features it needed and the genes to code for many variations of those features. The fact that some things are similar and others are different does not show that reptiles, mammals, and birds share a common ancestor.

- Headlines popped up late in the week announcing the preservation of dinosaur feathers in Canadian amber. There's actually a great deal more—or rather less—to the story than you might think at first glance. Be sure to catch next week's News to Note for a full coverage of this colorful story!
- Controversy continues in the scientific community as evolutionary paleontologists debate the meaning of Lee Berger's claims about Australopithecus sediba. Berger believes his discovery "should dislodge Homo habilis, the famous tool-making fossil found by Louis and Mary Leakey, as the most likely bridge between the australopithecenes and the human lineage." But to take over the primary ancestral throne, Berger's sediba must evict the Hadar Homo jawbone which carries a date of 2.33 million years (by evolutionary reckoning).15 The jawbone's discoverer, Dr. Donald Johanson, has responded in defense of his Homo fossil saying it "possesses all the hallmarks of Homo, [the human lineage, and] places the origins of Homo firmly in eastern Africa, at least 400,000 years prior to the dating of A. sediba." Be sure to bone up on your understanding of evolutionists' claims about the human evolutionary saga. Your friends and children will surely be asking you for an answer! See Dr. David Dewitt's overview of the findings at It's an Ape… It's a Human… It's… It's… a Missing Link! and read a detailed analysis at Sediba with a little sleight of hand.
- A new species of the lobe-finned fish Laccognathus discovered in the Canadian Arctic is believed by evolutionary geologists to confirm the past connection of the North American and European landmasses during the Devonian Period.16 The fossils of Laccognathus embryi are reminiscent of similar fossils found in Latvia. Evolutionists don't accord this branch of lobe-finned fish the exalted status given to Tiktaalik roseae—the supposed transition bridging the gap to land animals—but like Tiktaalik it was found on Ellesmere Island. The fossil's discoverer Ted Daeschler says that his research helps place "the animal in its evolutionary crucible." Because it has a flattened head and long sharp teeth, Daeschler believes the fish was a vicious bottom-dwelling carnivore which grabbed passing prey. He adds, "We want to know what the world was like" in the Devonian Period. Evolutionists of course interpret the geologic column as a snapshot of earth's historical timeline. Creationists understand the geologic column as a historical snapshot that zooms in on a very particular part of our history, the time surrounding the global Flood. The Flood buried billions of creatures as it remodeled the earth's surface. The deep Devonian layer, located just a little above the Cambrian explosion, chronicles the burial of countless sea creatures trapped in the surging sediments from the ocean as tectonic instability, described in Genesis 7:11, broke the ocean floor at the beginning of the Flood. Daeschler's fossils do tell us something about what the world was like, but the findings need to be calibrated by the eyewitness account in God's Word. Read more about the fishy story of Laccognathus's "sister" fossil, Tiktaalik, at Tiktaalik and the Fishy Story of Walking Fish and Tiktaalik and the Fishy Story of Walking Fish, Part 2. Learn how to interpret the order in the geologic column at Chapter 31: Doesn't the Order of Fossils in the Rock Record Favor Long Ages?.
- Polyploidy—having extra copies of genetic material—is common in plants. The evolutionary value of polyploidy has long been a matter of debate. Many evolutionists believe the value is negligible since desirable mutations are less likely to change plant phenotype and be preserved, being overshadowed by other un-mutated chromosomal copies. A statistical study published in Science suggests that polyploidy may increase a plant's chance of extinction. "We find that plants that became polyploid in their recent evolutionary past are less likely to diversify into new species and face a higher risk of extinction compared to their diploid relatives," says lead author Itay Mayrose. "Our study suggests polyploidy is an evolutionary gamble," co-author Michael Barker adds. "Duplicating its genome puts a plant lineage at a higher risk of extinction, but in those few cases where it does provide an evolutionary advantage, other analyses suggest that it could really pay off in the long run with significant increases in diversity." Unfortunately, the validity of these conclusions are impossible to gauge. These calculations, like those used in molecular clock studies, are based on genetic analyses colored by the assumption that the fossil record with its assigned dates actually records the evolution of plants. Thus, whether polyploidy provides the fodder for diversification as suggested by some or diminishes the possibility of diversification as this study suggests remains an open question.

That's deranged
Usually when you see someone die in a scary movie, it's because they deserve it. A lot of times, that person was just unkind. This was a rather nasty subversion, because it seems like any person would turn out like this. So what's the moral? Always have candy on you no matter what time of year it is or at least if it's close to Halloween? Then again, this was probably just a scary thing featuring a truly psychotic character.
Wait, this was featured as "Comedy"?! I guess it might be played for laughs because it really is quite ridiculous when you get down to it. A girl turns into a monster because she's mad at a woman for not giving her candy in September and for being mad when she's in her house. At least we can all agree candy is good. I wonder what's going to happen to her casserole?

Blend27 - I have the range 22.214.171.124 - 184.108.40.206 blocked as a "bot" with the note: "several bot-UA hits but no valid rDNS". This still pertains so any bot from that IP range remains blocked until yahoo gets its act together.
I have about 3 dozen IPs with that "NOT Firefox" appended to that standard Slurp UA from 98.137.20[6-7].nnn, they all point to Hnnn.hlfs.bf1.yahoo(.)com [bgp.he.net...] At the same time, and this started on the 20th of Dec/2012 there are hits from 72.30.198.nnn with the same user agent(as well as normal Slurp UA). They also point to Hnnn.hlfs.bf1.yahoo(.)com - [bgp.he.net...] .
I've been allowing 18.104.22.168/16 for ages.
98.137.20[6-7]... gets the boot for now. IPs from this rage do request the images from the pages they try to crawl(one dynamically generated image URI, logged and matched with a cookie that is generated from the original page request).

Check out photos, audio, and video of previous special events at the Library in our Event Archive.
This Week: March 10, 2014 - March 16, 2014
For nearly a quarter of a century, journalist and educator John C. Tibbetts spent most of his weekends hobnobbing with actors and filmmakers on Hollywood press junkets.
But he did more than just interview his famous subjects. With ink and watercolors, Tibbetts created portraits of the famous folk with whom he visited. And his subjects almost invariably autographed the finished work.
Tibbetts will discuss the creation of these portraits — featured in the Library's current exhibit, Stargazing — and share stories about many of his celebrity encounters in a talk complementing the exhibit Stargazing, which remains on display through January 31, 2014, at the Central Library.
A free series of films by Alfred Hitchcock who used film to explore his own neuroses and phobias, in the process revealing the psychological complexities we all share.
A seminal film for Hitchcock both artistically and thematically, Notorious stars Ingrid Bergman as the "kept woman" of a cultured sophisticate (Claude Rains) who after World War II has relocated with his fellow Nazis to Brazil. She is recruited by a cynical American agent (Cary Grant) to inform on her lover, thus putting her life in danger. What's more, both men are in love with her.
The folks behind the Kansas City FilmFest lend insight into the world of animation through a variety of old-fashioned, film-related crafts and children's film presentations.
This program is appropriate for grades K-6.
On January 8, 1815 — 199 years ago — the vaunted British Army suffered an epic defeat by makeshift American forces under the command of Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans in what became the closing act of the War of 1812. Jackson's remarkably improbable victory, which took place two weeks after the peace treaty ending the war had been signed, brought him national acclaim and led directly to his election to the presidency in 1828.
Richard Barbuto, deputy director of the department of military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, delves into this triumph of American arms, the last time U.S. and British forces ever fought against each other.
What if Adolf Hitler had realized his dream of an art career and never turned to politics? What if Judas had saved Jesus of Nazareth? What if Ho Chi Minh had leveraged his experience as a cook in a Harlem restaurant into a corporate empire selling oven-ready dessert pastries? Or if Benjamin Franklin had become a clergyman? Or if Napoleon had kept Louisiana for the French?
Phong Nguyen, author of the new book Pages from the Textbook of Alternate History, reimagines the biographies of a dozen of history's heroes and villains, and explores how the world would be a far different place.
Coterie Theatre Artists read from favorite children's books while the audience enjoys an opportunity to "jump into the story" and participate in an improvised story of their own making.
Appropriate for all ages, Dramatic Story Time programs take place one Sunday each month at 2 p.m. throughout the 2013-2014 school year, beginning October 6, 2013.
Gone With the Wind. The Wizard of Oz. Stagecoach. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Wuthering Heights.
Hollywood's greatest year was 1939, with more memorable movies released than at any other time. Each week throughout 2014, the Library will screen one film from that year: Westerns, musicals, dramas, romances – even titles from the long-running Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes, and Andy Hardy series.
To kick off this celebration of celluloid, former Kansas City Star film critic Robert W. Butler — now with the Library's public affairs staff — provides an introductory survey of the films and personalities that made 1939 so memorable.
Christmas is over . . . now what?
Come in from the cold and celebrate winter. Plaza Branch staff members will have crafts, stories, and other fun activities centered around our coolest time of year.
Appropriate for all ages.
Homemade gifts make the best holiday giving, but you might not know how to get started. The Plaza Branch staff is here to help your kids with crafts to give others or keep for themselves.
Supplies will be provided. Parents are asked to stay with their children to assist.
Grab your little ones and celebrate the traditions of a Victorian family Christmas. Wornall House staff members fill the evening with storytelling, parlor games, carols, and a fun history lesson on the origins of Victorian Christmas traditions.
There also will be a beautiful holiday sleigh available as a setting for family or individual photographs.

Religious Leaders Call for Divine Intervention in Fracking Debate
A group of religious leaders are hoping divine intervention will force Governor Andrew Cuomo to ban the controversial natural gas drilling procedure known as hydrofracking in New York State. Today at noon, an interfaith group of around 15 religious figures gathered outside the governor's office in Midtown Manhattan for an anti-fracking pray-in. With parkas draped over their ritual garb for warmth, the leaders adamantly spoke out against the controversial drilling process and invoked biblical imagery in their quest to convert the as-yet-undecided governor.
"When God created Adam and Eve, God led them by the hand around the garden of Eden," preached Rabbi Marc Katz, of Congregation Beth Elohim. "We too have a garden: a beautiful, thriving Eden. Every time we pump chemicals into our water supply, every time we drill without knowing the consequences, we bring our garden closer to destruction." Read More

When words such as "workflow," "efficiency" and "technology" are heard around the newsroom these days, they generally are used in the context of IT infrastructure, desktop editing and tapeless video file transfer.
However, a new concept — automatic vehicle locator or AVL — is poised to join the ranks of those transformational news technologies. That's because WABC-TV in New York City will be adding AVL technology to its fleet of news vehicles.
WPCS International, a wireless infrastructure services and specialty communications services company, will provide the technology. With AVL, WABC will be able to track the location of its news vans to determine where they are in relation to a breaking story. The system also will allow news managers to determine exactly when a news van arrives at the scene to cover a story.
The AVL tracking is done through a wireless signal transmitted from an antenna located on the van.

When a young person makes that first long sojourn away from home, it's often a challenge to know what to bring along. But it always makes sense to bring an appetite.
Littleton has a lot to offer. And most of it is on display this week as Western Welcome Week gets into full swing.
Music is freedom.
Music can mean freedom from the pain and misery of a broken heart, or the feeling of freedom that new love brings.
For Donavan Ariza, 16, music has meant freedom from the stress, pain and loneliness of fighting cancer.
"It was everything. It brightened me up when I was down," Donavan said. "It helped me out so much."
For some young performers, that first opportunity to entertain an audience is all it takes to turn stage fright into stage presence.
"I'll be honest: I really, absolutely hated performing for people. I despised it," says 11-year-old Brooklyn Webb.
But Brooklyn's high anxiety turned to polished poise when she took the stage for the first time last year in Lakewood High School's performance of "Les Misérables."
In a handbell choir, the musicians use their hands, mallets and bodies to modify sounds from the single-note instruments, creating a rich tapestry of sounds.
South Jeffco residents looking for an entertainment alternative have a new option. And it's a dramatic one.
The Foothills Theater Company — the Foothills Parks and Recreation District's very own community theater — debuted over the weekend at The Ridge Recreation Center.
The troupe's inaugural production, "Trifles and Other Plays," a collection of three one-act plays dealing with relationships in various forms, is in the middle of a two-week run.
Maybe we know too much about our stars. The price for being successful in the music business often means that every imperfection and mistake will be out in the open for the public to see. The stress of fame, especially when it comes at a young age, can destroy careers and psyches.

SU students can participate on study abroad programs with accredited program sponsors. These types of programs are not vetted in the same manner as SU-Sponsored or SU-Approved programs as the University has no standing, formal relationship with them. Education Abroad Advisors can verify the transferability of academic credit toward the SU degree, however, they do not have in-depth knowledge of the quality, safety or services provided on Non-SU programs. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to obtain full and accurate program information directly from the program sponsor. Students interested in exploring Non-Seattle University program options are encouraged to begin their work investigating alternative programs early.
If I choose a Non-SU program . . .

Participants on Non-SU programs must file required forms. Participants are not enrolled at SU during participation. SU scholarships will not apply. Eligible coursework applies toward the SU degree as transfer credit. Program application deadlines vary. Be sure to consult the program provider's timeline.

Has anyone felt disappointed with the appearance of their breasts after their implant surgery?
I had bilateral mastectomy and expander surgery in August. Last week, the expanders were replaced with Mentor implants. Today I removed the bandages for the first time and I feel very disappointed. My breast look small, even though they are 500 ccs, and they seem to bulge out above nd below the scar. Will their shape improve? Is it typical to feel this way?

Thanks for sharing your good news. Glad to know everything is getting better. Do stay in touch.

So sorry to hear you are disappointed in the appearance of your breasts. You have been through a long journey since being diagnosed with breast cancer. It is good to know there is another survior in the ranks.
I can tell you from experience that the final result of your reconstruction will also take time to be revealed.
Staying in touch with your plastic surgeon and discussing your concerns will help to allay your fears.. If something should really be wrong, you and he/she will be right on top of it. Many of us have had revisions after the initial surgery.
Please keep in touch to let us know how you are.

You are certainly not alone in feeling disappointed. Here are some reviews by community members who expressed similar feelings:
"Not Happy with Reconstruction, More Asymmetrical Than Before"
I would reach out to these ladies and see how they are doing now, and what advice they might be able to offer.

Rita Crundwell is scheduled to make an appearance for her arraignment on wire fraud charges.
The city of Dixon may be out 20-million dollars more than originally thought in the case against its former comptroller. Federal prosecutors have now charged Rita Crundwell with stealing 53-million dollars over the past 22 years. In the original complaint against Crundwell, she was accused of embezzling an estimated 30-million since 2006 to "support her lavish lifestyle."
The City of Dixon has fired its comptroller. City Council members voted unanimously today to fire Rita Crundwell, retroactive to the day she was arrested on federal wire fraud charges.
Dixon Mayor James Burke held a news conference Wednesday morning in Dixon, Ill., to address several issues regarding the arrest of City Comptroller Rita A. Crundwell on a federal charge of misappropriating $3.2 million in city funds.
Burke thanked the FBI for its efforts and ann0unced that Crundwell is suspended without pay pending resolution of the charges against her. He said he "literally became sick to my stomach" while meeting with agents on the case.
The mayor declined to answer any questions from reporters in attendance, including WNIJ's Susan Stephens. Here is the text of Mayor Burke's statement:

Prosecutors in northeast Arkansas say a 59-year-old man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for hiring someone to kill his son-in-law.
Prosecutor Scott Ellington's office said Carl Kelley was sentenced to the prison term Friday after he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last month in a murder-for-hire scheme that left Kelley's son-in-law, Marc Despain, dead in Jonesboro.
Kelley, the gunman and another man were arrested shortly after Despain's death in 2011. Kelley's daughter and Despain's widow, Michelle Despain, has also been arrested and charged with capital murder in her late husband's death. She is scheduled to go on trial in February.
Lawyers for Kelley and Michelle Despain didn't immediately return phone messages left Friday.

The Libyan leader's ouster dispersed masses of guns and refugees across the region. Already, Algeria has seen attacks by AQIM militants armed with Libyan weapons, Mali has been rocked by a coup led by armed nomads returning from Libya, Niger is struggling to cope with waves of refugees from Libya and Mali, and Tunisia's economy has been shattered by the loss of its most important trading partner.
Not since the Suez crisis and the Nasser-fueled uprisings of the 1950s has the Middle East seen so much unrest. Understanding those earlier events can help the United States navigate the crisis today -- for just like Nasser, Iran and Syria will try to manipulate various local grievances into a unified anti-Western campaign.
This article appears in the Foreign Affairs/CFR eBook, The New Arab Revolt.
North Africa is where the Arab world's recent political upheaval began and where it has reached its most violent climax. Beyond Tunisia and Libya, how nervous should the ruling regimes in Algeria and Morocco be about their political futures?
This article appears in the Foreign Affairs/CFR eBook, The New Arab Revolt.
A collection of continuing Foreign Affairs coverage of the crisis in Egypt and the Middle East.
Last week's mass protests in Tunisia were less a symptom of economic malaise than of a society fed up with its broken dictatorship. Should the other autocratic regimes in the Middle East and North Africa be afraid?
This article appears in the Foreign Affairs/CFR eBook, The New Arab Revolt.
The key player in Algeria's crisis is not the Islamist rebels of the FIS but the army, the real power in a terrorized land. Increasingly, Algeria is run by a military caste that is above civil law. The generals will not let an international inquest try to uncover the truth about the recent spree of village massacres -- perhaps by Islamists, perhaps by a regime out to discredit them. Algeria's democrats sully themselves by failing to denounce human rights violations suffered by the Islamists. The army must get out of politics and let Algeria's parties, including the FIS, agree on a national pact that enshrines elections and civil liberties.
One of the world's most underreported conflicts rages in Algeria, where 60,000 have died in six years of civil war. The military-backed regime, which has recently been accused of involvement in recurring massacres, has erected a facade of democracy and won the approval of France and the United States. Locked out is the Islamist movement, which scored an overwhelming victory in 1991 elections but was never allowed to take power. Other Arabs watch Algeria fearfully for omens of their countries' fates, caught between bad governments and political Islam.
Judith Miller knocked in the Middle East, and many doors opened. But her focus on Islamic militancy blinded her to enlightened currents of Islam. Separation of religion and state is not a real option in a region where the faith is central to life, but Muslims can choose what kind of Islam will hold sway.
The United States is spreading its aid and efforts too thin in the developing world. It should focus on a small number of "pivotal states": countries whose fate determines the survival and success of the surrounding region and ultimately the stability of the international system. The list should include Mexico, Brazil, Algeria, Egypt, South Africa, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and Indonesia. A discriminating strategy for shoring up the developing world is a wise way to address traditional security threats and new transnational issues; it might be thought of as the new, improved domino theory. If effective, it could forestall the move in Congress to wipe out nearly all foreign aid.
From the statements of M. Georges Pompidou, the new head of the French Government, one would infer that the Algerian conflict is a thing of the past. On the theory that he is now freed from that incubus, he has serenely set about dealing with French social questions and above all with the international problems which, to tell the truth, have always been General de Gaulle's sole, indeed almost obsessive, preoccupation.

Man denies charges in deadly crash, jailed on $200KSeptember 28,2012Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Alex W. Spanos, 23, is led into Rutland criminal court by a court officer for his arraignment this afternoon on charges in connection with a motor-vehicle crash that killed 17-year-old Carly Ferro.A Rutland man today denied six charges, including manslaughter, in connection with a motor-vehicle crash that killed 17-year-old Carly Ferro.
Alex W. Spanos, 23, appeared in Rutland criminal court this afternoon wearing a dark suit and tie, chains on his wrists, ankles and waist.
He pleaded innocent to felony charges of manslaughter, gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle with death resulting, and two counts of gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle with serious injury resulting.
He also pleaded innocent to misdemeanor counts of reckless or gross negligent operation, and reckless endangerment.
Spanos was ordered held at the Rutland jail for lack of $200,000 bail. Police allege Spanos was inhaling chemicals from an aerosol can before he drove into a parked vehicle in a parking lot, crushing Ferro and causing a four-vehicle crash.

Things look quiet here. But I've been doing a lot of blogging at dan.langille.org because I prefer WordPress now. Not all my posts there are FreeBSD related. I am in the midst of migrating The FreeBSD Diary over to WordPress (and you can read about that here). Once the migration is completed, I'll move the FreeBSD posts into the new FreeBSD Diary website.
That wasn't really a problem. The boxes came back up but not everything was fine. Specifically, my NFS volumes didn't mount properly. Which meant some of my web sites weren't up and running. The problem was a combination of ipf rules which prevent access and my ipf configuration being deny-by-default. The offshoot was that when the system tried to start up as an nfs server, not everything was happy. I spent the better part of four hours trying to figure out what was going on. I got some help from Odinn in this. He went through everything with me and it was finally sussed out.
We discovered that rpc.statd was not running. This program is necessary for NFS. See the man page for more detail. So we tried to start it:
[root@ducky:~] # /usr/sbin/rpc.statd Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = No route to host rpc.statd: unable to register (SM_PROG, SM_VERS, udp)
We first suspected my routing was screwed up. But it wasn't. It was my rules. They weren't running. That meant I was deny by default. Hence, "No route to host". Once I invoked the rules, rpc.statd was up and running. This was our first hint that there was a conflict somewhere..
There is a kernel feature, IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK, which makes ipf deny everything by default. From a security point of view, this is a better default than to accept everything. Unfortunately, it can cause a few problems with the FreeBSD startup. I encountered this problem with NFS. Luckily, there is a workaround. I have a nify little script.
nfs_server_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS server (or NO) nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 4" # Flags to nfsd (if enabled). nfs_client_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_client_flags="-n 4" # Flags to nfsiod (if enabled).
These options are used by the script /etc/rc.network. If the above options exist in , In that file, you'll find a section which starts like this:
network_pass3() { echo -n 'Starting final network daemons:' case ${nfs_server_enable} in [Yy][Ee][Ss]) if [ -r /etc/exports ]; then echo -n ' mountd' case ${weak_mountd_authentication} in [Yy][Ee][Ss]) mountd_flags="-n" ;; esac
This is the section which I took for my own. Basically, I cobbled togther the bits and pieces I needed. My script is:
#!/bin/sh # # start the nfs server # echo -n ' mountd' ; mountd -r echo -n ' nfsd' ; nfsd -u -t -n 4 echo -n ' sysctl' ; sysctl -w vfs.nfs.bufpackets=DEFAULT \ > /dev/null echo -n ' rpc.statd' ; rpc.statd # # then mount our NFS client volumes # mount -v fred:/nzmirror/ports/distfiles /usr/ports/distfiles
The steps I go through in the above script more or less duplicate what the /etc/rc.network when it sees the NFS options I described at the start of this section.
This script is placed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nfs.sh. Make sure it is chmod 750.
