It's awesome that someone who was shit on by life can have an opportunity like this to be kick ass!
personally, I feel that the springs give him an unfair advantage, and he shouldn't complete with non-cyborg runners.
I am of a similar belief. Perhaps we can start a newsletter advocating the removal of cyborgs from professional sports?
I am happy that he can be self sufficiently mobile; but, I definitely concur about participation in contests with an artificial advantage.

Marine Animal Encyclopedia
Chaetoceros danicus
First described in 1844, Chaetoceros is one of the largest and most diverse genera of marine diatoms, containing well over 100 species. Chaetoceros danicus is a colonial form, and groups of seven cells are not uncommon (as shown here). It is easily recognized because it has highly distinctive long, stiff hairs, called setae, which project perpendicularly from the margins of its test. and have prominent secondary spines along their length. Chloroplasts, which contain pigments used in photosynthesis, are numerous and found inside both the cell and the setae of Chaetoceros danicus. The setae are easily broken, and if large quantities lodge in the gills of a fish, they may kill it. The secondary spines anchor the setae to the sensitive gill tissue, causing irritation, and the fish reacts by producing mucus. Eventually, it dies from suffocation.

what to buy
Easily outshining the competition, Weight Watchers promotes a sensible diet, exercise, group support and a positive attitude that has been proven effective in a variety of scientific studies. There are no off-limit foods, and the program can be customized for those with special dietary needs. In-person, group meetings are the plan's cornerstone, but there are online "meetings" and support options, as well as food and activity-tracking programs.
Top-shelf performance. Weight Watchers encourages weight loss with a sensible diet of healthy, whole foods, plus exercise and a positive attitude. It earns top marks from researchers and experts for nutrition because there are no forbidden foods. You track your calorie intake via a point system that is currently known as PointsPlus. Your ideal daily caloric intake is determined by your gender, age, height and weight. Weight Watchers has been evaluated in a number of clinical studies, with researchers concluding over and over that it's effective for both weight loss and long-term weight control.
Group support is key. Weight Watcher's flagship feature has always been group meetings, which experts say are key to sticking to a long-term eating plan. Traditionally, they are physical meetings where people weigh in, share tips and stories, and provide general support and encouragement. For those who can't make a meeting, there is a full range of online services, including support groups, recipes, tips and tracking software. There are even mobile apps available. Exercise is also encouraged on Weight Watchers and you can earn extra food points through exercise, something that earns high praise from experts on obesity and weight loss.
Eat what you want, just not too much. Eating on Weight Watchers requires budgeting food points throughout the day. Points values are assigned to a food based upon a formula that includes fat, sugar, protein and carbohydrate count; in other words, they do the math. You can eat unlimited amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables. There are points for specific categories, such as dairy, to help you balance your nutrients, as well as flexible points for treats or for that second helping. There are many cookbooks available that have recipes with pre-calculated points. Weight Watchers easily accommodates people with special dietary needs, including vegetarians and the gluten-adverse.
Support comes at a cost. There is a $20 to $30 registration fee to join Weight Watchers, depending upon the program you choose. An online-only membership is about $5 per week; meetings will cost you about $15 per week. The monthly pass at $42.95 per month waives the registration fee and gives you unlimited meetings and eTools. While it does cost money, experts and consumer-reviewers agree that compared to diet plans that require prepackaged meals, it's much less expensive and you get a lot for your money.

There is no correlation between the weight a person lost and the diet he or she was on. What does make a difference across the board is whether an individual stuck to the plan, which those on Weight Watchers and the Zone Diet were more likely to do.

Message from the Vice Chancellor
February 4, 2002
At the beginning of this new year, I would like to reflect
upon our strengths and achievements, bring you up to date on some
important initiatives and future objectives, and talk about some of the
challenges ahead.
With this message, I would also like to begin 2002
with a commitment to ongoing communication with you about our continuing
efforts to improve the services provided by the Vice Chancellor's
office, and to keep you apprised of new programs and progress on other
fronts. As part of this
commitment, we will launch a new Vice
Chancellor's website and will share that with you in the coming
I have been at UCSD a little over a year now, and I am
as enthusiastic about this campus as I was when I first
arrived. This is an outstanding university, and our School of Medicine and UCSD Healthcare
system are tremendous assets for the campus and the region in every
respect. The new School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences promises
to further enrich our university community.
I am as excited by opportunity as I am by
accomplishment. What sets
UCSD apart is our powerful potential to be a leader in the design and
delivery of 21st century medicine, while further
strengthening our unique role as this region's only academic medical
center. First, I'll share the good news and the challenges regarding our
financial position.
We finished the last fiscal year in good shape. The primary
financial "engine" of our clinical enterprise is the UCSD Medical Center,
which has maintained positive alignment of costs and revenue since
the deficit crisis of FY 95/96, with income not only covering costs, but also contributing to a
comfortable margin every year . UCSD Medical Center ended FY 00/01 with
a $36.7 million margin. We achieved this despite the fact that
while UCSD has about 9% of the total San Diego inpatient market, we
provide 45% of uninsured inpatient care in San Diego.
Our faculty, staff and hospital leadership are to be congratulated
for ensuring that UCSD Medical Center has maintained a favorable margin,
enabling us to reinvest in our institution. This margin supports
clinical enterprise development, primary care, recruitment, academic
enrichment and department support, as well as hospital infrastructure
improvements, equipment, capital investments, and so forth. It has
been a sustained and concerted effort, and it has paid off.
In addition
we've seen a steady trend of increased patient volumes at both of our
hospitals - UCSD Medical Center, Hillcrest and the John M. and Sally B.
Thornton Hospital in La Jolla. While this is good news, an
idiosyncrasy of today's market is that a busy hospital presents its own
financial challenges. For example, much of our increase in volume
is attributable to managed care patients for whom we receive fixed
monthly payments irrespective of health status or use of services. The
result is significant under-reimbursement, a problem not only for UCSD
but for health care providers throughout the nation.
Further, our labor costs are increasing at a higher rate than
reimbursement levels; this dilemma is exacerbated by the nursing and
other health professional shortages which have resulted in the use of
contract personnel at much higher costs.
Consequently, while the Medical Center is still maintaining a
positive bottom line, we are currently short of our projected FY 01/02
profit margin by approximately 24%. We are tracking this closely
and are taking steps to adjust our costs and improve revenue to address
this shortfall. We anticipate completing this Fiscal Year on
In FY 00/01, approximately $76 million of our total medical center revenues
of $415.9 million was
made up of 'funds at risk' -- state and federal support provided to
help compensate hospitals that care for uninsured patients
(disproportionate share funds), and for the
additional costs we bear as a teaching hospital (medical education
These funds are critical for maintaining our
positive bottom line. With the economic downturn affecting our state and
our nation, and with the redirection of federal funds as our nation
engages in the war on terrorism, we anticipate
substantial reductions in these funds at risk.
It is still unclear what the impact of the current state budget
situation will be on the support provided to the University of
California, and we are watching closely as this takes shape.
These factors all add up to diminished resource and leaner budgets in
the coming year. We are working with our faculty and staff to
ensure that our costs are in line with projected revenues, even with
these projected revenue reductions.
As we look for opportunities to be more efficient
and cost effective, we will also be working with the Office of the President
in their lobbying activities to protect and restore cuts to
some of these sources of public funding. We are carefully evaluating and
enhancing our managed care and health care contracting strategies.
Finally, we are working vigorously to
bring funds in from alternate sources in the private sector through aggressive
fundraising and other strategies.
Even as we tighten our belts, we are facing the
coming year from a position of strength both financially and
programmatically. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of many, we
celebrated a number of milestones last year:
San Diego is the nation's largest city with only one School of
Medicine, and we continue to
evolve a clinical strategy that builds on our strengths and fulfills our
responsibilities as this
region's only academic medical system. We
ended 2001 with an outstanding JCAHO review, and are proud of the
accreditation equivalent of a blue ribbon earned by our hospitals and
Home Care colleagues.
We will continue to
provide a full spectrum of services for a diverse patient population in
order to meet our educational and clinical research missions, and to
maintain our commitment as a safety net provider.
We also plan to focus resources on specialty
programs that set us apart as a referral center, and we will
expand our role as a clinical trials center.
We will continue to support vitally important
community programs, from violence prevention to breast cancer screening
and free clinics. These are
programs that the university is proud of, as they truly benefit the
public's health at the grassroots level.
An example of our faculty and staff response to
public health needs is the effort put forth following the attacks of
September 1l and the ensuing events. UCSD health professionals have conducted numerous public and
professional education sessions, and are working with the Medical
Society, and the County and City public health and emergency medical
systems, to improve disaster preparedness and train providers. And, a team of San Diego health professionals who volunteer for
San Diego's Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT), with sponsorship
and leadership provided by UCSD Medical Center, did a tour of duty at
Ground Zero in New York City, providing first-aid to the workers on the
site of the World Trade Center disaster.
Finally, we will
continue to address clinical workforce shortages through recruitment, and by participating in training to develop new caregivers
and enhance the skills and knowledge of those already in the workforce.
The caliber of
our faculty forms our foundation of excellence. This year two
UCSD faculty members were elected to the Institute
of Medicine, bringing our total number of members to 21;18 of UCSD's 67
NAS members are School of Medicine faculty or affiliated faculty; six
School of Medicine departments rank in the 'Top 10' among their peer
departments in NIH funding, and of 29 San
Diego physicians named in the current 'America's Top Doctors,'
24 are UCSD faculty members.
UCSD medical
faculty rank second in the country in research funding per faculty member.
Some of the sizable federal grants awarded this year include the $54 million
Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study and the $20 million Biomedical
Informatics Research Network, both national consortia directed by UCSD
faculty; an $11.6 million pharmacogenomics grant in partnership with
Celera, and partnership in a $34 million grant to The Scripps Research
Institute for a 'functional glycomics' consortium. These represent a
new, 'big' science approach with teams of
researchers working together, a model with which UCSD has great success.
A school is only as good as its students, and ours
are among the best. This year's first-year class had a GPA of 3.7,
MCAT scores among the nation's highest, and their scores in the
biological sciences are in the 95th percentile. Our M.D. and M.D./Ph.D. students excel academically, and also
participate in activities that enrich our community, through clinics,
student outreach and education, and other volunteer efforts.
To continue attracting top quality students we must ensure that when
they are here, they have a positive experience academically and in more
personal respects. We must ensure a culturally and ethnically
diverse class, both to enrich the student experience and to fulfill our
commitment to serve a diverse community. We want to graduate
physicians who are skilled and knowledgeable, and also caring and
compassionate. To address these issues, a task force led by Dr.
David Bailey has developed recommendations that we are in the process of
of this success translates to need for additional space to support our growth. A number of new projects, many funded primarily through
philanthropy, are under way that will provide additional opportunities
for enhancement of our academic and research programs in the next few years:
Model of the Basic
Research Facility
We also must
plan toward replacing and expanding essential patient care facilities,
to accommodate patients and to ensure we have state of the art
facilities that meet current guidelines for safety.
This will include providing additional capacity at Thornton
Hospital, which is consistently operating at capacity.
An even greater challenge is addressing the significant state
seismic requirements in Hillcrest. In order to meet
the current mandates for earthquake safety, we must make substantial
facility and infrastructure upgrades at the UCSD Medical Center, in Hillcrest, which is over 40 years old. An alternative to retrofitting is phased replacement of the
inpatient tower on land adjacent to the current facility, which is
the better option both financially as well as operationally. We are
still evaluating options, and exploring sources of funding to
undertake this multi-million dollar project.
Our recruitment to fill key positions, and our administrative
restructuring to provide more efficient service to the organization, is
Tom Jackiewicz has joined our executive team as Chief of
Staff, UCSD Health Sciences. He will coordinate and operationalize many of the
initiatives we have undertaken, and oversee many of the administrative
functions in Health Sciences.
Bailey, M.D., is serving as Deputy Vice Chancellor and Deputy Dean, and
has taken on the additional responsibilities that will be assumed by the
new Dean for Education and Academic Affairs, a position we have not yet
filled that will oversee academic and student support functions. Until we begin recruitment for this position, Dr. Bailey will
provide oversight for activities in medical school admissions,
education, student affairs, academic affairs and continuing medical
We are recruiting a Physician-in-Chief, a new leadership
position to coordinate clinician-related issues across the UCSD
Healthcare system.
Dr. Kenneth
Kaushansky joined us February 1 as our new Chair of Medicine, and
recruitment is progressing for a new Chair of Radiology and we hope to
soon name our first
Dean for the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
And I am delighted to report that Rebecca Newman has been named the
new Executive Director of Health Sciences Development, a key position at
a time when attracting new resources to support or missions is more
important than ever.
We continue
developing the concept for a College of Integrated Life Systems (COILS).
COILS will provide a structure for collaboration throughout the spectrum
of health sciences research, from molecules to mankind. Our multidisciplinary emphasis will engage our colleagues on the
main campus and at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, as well as in
the community and private sector.
COILS is designed to provide a continuum of programs and opportunities
bridging preclinical discovery, technology development, clinical
research and patient care.
Components include:
We will also continue to develop new opportunities for dual degrees,
whether doctorates in science, or in fields such as public health and
business, and are working on programs to offer in conjunction with
UCSD's new School of Management.
UCSD and the Health Sciences have had a rapid trajectory to the top,
and we enjoy a deserved reputation as the youngest of the best universities
in the country, and as a leading health care system, providing
high quality, advanced care. But we are committed to being even better.
We are in a position to create our own future, and to shape the
future of medicine. I look forward to working with you to meet the
challenges of the coming year and achieve the goals I have outlined.

Behind the strength of Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impression and multiple big-name cameos, this season of SNL has turned the election into ratings gold again and again. With a scheduled appearance by Sen. John McCain set for this episode, could the gang do it one more time on the final live broadcast before America heads to the polls? Let's find out!Cold OpenThey wasted no time putting McCain to use, as he was joined by Tina as Palin (!) to make their last-minute plea to voters while hawking products on QVC. Apparently the campaign, as Tina points out, spent a little too much money on Palin's clothes and couldn't afford to match Sen. Obama's three-network infomercial. McCain got in on the fun as well, saying he was a "true maverick — a Republican without money." The duo sells items like a set of commemorative plates to remember the ten town hall debates between McCain and Obama (they're blank because they never happened) and the complete line of Joe Action Figures, featuring Joe the Plumber, Joe Six-Pack, and Joe Biden, who if you pull his string "talks for 45 minutes." Ha! McCain's wife Cindy was also there selling "fine gold" (a take on the McCain-Feingold bill), Palin is selling "Ayers Fresheners" and McCain endorses "pork knives." Palin then goes "rogue," pushing "Palin 2012" T-shirts and saying she's not going anywhere after Tuesday, especially back to Alaska. "I'm running in four years or I will be white Oprah. I'm fine either way," Fey says. The sketch is pretty much brilliant, and I am glad McCain is committed to the bit. (The real Palin didn't really do much in the way of participation during her visit. Of course, McCain, having hosted before, is an old pro.) Nice job by McCain and Tina for a hilarious opening. (Rewatch the opening in our Online Video Guide.)MonologueI honestly haven't heard about Ben Affleck doing anything in so long that I'm baffled at his being chosen to host. Even so, his monologue is mercifully short, speaking mostly about his volunteer efforts in many democratic campaigns... unfortunately, it's been all of the losing ones. Realizing his support has the opposite effect, he officially endorses McCain. "I'm sure he'll be thrilled," Ben says. Not as thrilled as I was to see Affleck shake McCain's hand awkwardly at the end of the night!Fake CommercialThey again run Kristen Wiig's "Jar Glove" ad that we first saw a few weeks back. It's kinda funny, but a bit too long and over the top. (An omen of things to come?)The View SketchI really don't know where to begin with this. I will definitely say that everyone did a decent job with their impressions, particularly Affleck as Alec Baldwin and Casey Wilson as Jennifer Aniston. Kristen played Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Keenan and Fred were in drag for Whoopi and Joy Behar respectively. The sketch was basically highlighting the recent feuding among the cast members and Hasselbeck's right-wing views. "I found it online," was the repeated punch line in the sketch, and it, like the sketch itself really wasn't very funny.Countdown with Keith OlbermannThis sketch would have been brilliant (ok, at least funny) if it had ended after two minutes. But the thing ran for just under 10 minutes. Seriously. Affleck was nailing Olbermann's mannerisms and the writing was doing a nice job of lampooning his biases, but come on. First he pegs President Bush as a racist for referring to Al Qaeda as "these folks," then links McCain with the Nazis, then goes on a five-minute tear about how his cat kept him from being accepted into a new co-op building on the Upper West Side. Again, it awesomely made Olbermann look ridiculous, but brevity is always your friend, guys.Target SketchAside from the cold open, this might be my favorite sketch from the night. It's one of Kristen's recurring characters, the Target cashier. It's the same bit we're used to (crazy voice and ridiculous hyper mannerisms), but Affleck as the wacky UPS man who finds himself intrigued by the cashier is hilarious. He describes her voice as sounding like a "sexy frog" and says he "wants to get his palms up in that red vest." He also buys a few products to show his interest, including champagne, chocolate sauce, a sensuality candle and couples lubricant. (Which Kristen uses for her "squeaky birdcage" and to cure "dry, cracked winter hands." But the best line by far was Affleck running the scanner by Kristen and saying, "Just as I thought...priceless." Stupid? Sure. But I laughed, which is more than I can say for what preceded this sketch.Staten Island Zoo SketchJason Sudeikis is brings a special word from the Staten Island Zoo about giraffes. To help get his point across, he uses a tape created by the local technical high school. The video starts off nice and innocent before turning into a heavy-metal, vampire-reference-laden song about our long-necked friends. The thing reeks of Andy Samberg (it feels like his digital shorts, which we didn't have tonight) and I shared Jason's look of horror at the end of the sketch.David CookAh, Mr. American Idol himself. I will comment on both of his performances here, since they were both remarkably similar (in terms of song structure, anyway.) David seems to have bought himself a new guitar, and I definitely hear Chris Cornell all over the first song "Light On," which Cornell wrote and which is Cook's first single. The second song, "Declaration" is definitely hard-rockin', and it's clear Cook made the kind of album he wanted. Though the second number was a little screamy for my taste (and more so even than what we heard him do on Idol), I am still glad he beat out Archuleta.Weekend UpdateWe learned this week that Seth would be doing Weekend Update solo from now on, since Amy had her baby. I'm sure it was rushed last week, and I think Seth was much better alone tonight than he was a week ago. The best punch lines:
• While Republicans have Joe the Plumber at rallies, the Democrats are sticking with their mascot, Joe the Bummer (over a picture of Joe Biden) • The Phillies won the World Series, the annual contest to see whose city will be set on fire by drunks. • Daylight savings time starts this weekend (don't forget to set your clocks back!), but McCain is criticizing it as the "redistribution of sunlight." • Sopranos wine is hitting stores, soon to be followed by Entourage douche bags.
Senator McCain popped back up to explain his last-minute strategies for the final three days of the campaign. They are:The Reverse Maverick: He does what anybody tells him to doThe Double Maverick: He"goes totally berserkers and freaks everybody out"The Sad Grandpa: He tells America, "Come on, Obama is young and will have plenty of chances. It's my turn"The Charleston: He campaigns exclusively in Charleston, South CarolinaThe Forrest Gump: He jogs across America, and it all just works outThe Rocky IV: He lives in the wilderness and drags a sled through the snow until he's in peak physical condition, just so if he has to fight Vladimir Putin, he'll be readyUltimately, he's going to stick with what he's doing, but if all else fails, he'll go with the "Double Maverick". Again, very well played by McCain. Kudos. Then, Kristen gives TV reviews as Amy's Aunt Linda. The highlights are Life on Mars, which she thought would be about Martians, should be called "Crap on TV," and her complaints that Knight Rider is a "rip-off of an '80s show staring David Hassell-hoof."Night School Musical: Senior Year EquivalentThe gang pokes a little fun at the success of the High School Musical franchise with a musical-movie about middle-aged people going to night school to get their high school equivalency. The main couple worries how their relationship will make it once Andy is an expert in forklift operating and Casey has her degree in framing. Oh, and Affleck plays a crazy dude who broke in to rob the vending machine, but became valedictorian. A couple chuckles here and there. (Also, does anyone else think SNL has been musical number-heavy this season?)Grady Wilson's Sex Improvement DVDKeenan plays Grady Wilson, who's trying to sell his new "Put the Fire Back in Your Marriage" DVD. He hopes to improve sexual relations for older couples, because "the quality of lovemaking shouldn't suffer" with age. The bit consists of weird and wacky names, which Keenan then acts out. Since describing all of Keenan's actions would be long and boring (again like the sketch), I will share my favorite names, which were the highlights: "The Whipped Butter, The Yeah, That's Good, The Peek-a-Boo, The Bumble Bee, The You Can't Hide From Me, The Stormin' Normandy and The Gotcha."Movie Pitch SketchAffleck and Bill Hader play brothers who apparently have worked on movies in the past, reuniting for a new film. In their meeting with the studio, however, they have quite different ideas. Affleck, the clean-cut brother, details a coming-of-age story about a boy and his grandfather. Hade hasn't slept in three days and envisions shots of "Newsies fantasies, effed up leprechauns, sloppy cuts of mascara running down faces and ripped midgets." The movie guys buy Affleck's "Bad News Bears meets Little Miss Sunshine and pass on Hader's "half-remembered gay nightmare," but offer him the chance to direct Wall-E 2. It's weird, but has more laughs than many sketches that pop up this late in the show, mostly attributable to Hader, who I think is the show's most foolishly neglected talent.Bierhoff Bros. CoatsFred and Affleck play the Bierhoff brothers, who sell German coats to German families visiting New York. The new model, the "Times Square Coat" is for Germans on vacation and "looks sensible" It has reflective strips to keep taxis from hitting you, as well as one that helps you hail cabs. It also has detachable sleeves, a hood for rain (and a second hood for harder rain) and pouches for salami, sausage, and secret souvenirs. Finally, it has a red flag you can raise if you get separated from your family (despite the bright orange color) and a yelling cone to find your loved ones. The accents are ridiculous, but kind of funny, and the best line is the company slogan: "We believe in no-nonsense jackets because it's the only thing that makes sense to us." (P.S. All catchy slogans, like insensible coats) belong in the garbage.)Overall, I have to give all the credit for this episode to Sen. McCain and (shocker) Tina Fey. Affleck didn't annoy me, but the material just wasn't there tonight. Plus, with this being the final show before the election, I was expecting a lot (or even just some) more political sketches. We didn't even see Obama, and he put on a 30-minute infomercial this week! Beating a dead horse? Maybe, but it's been bread and butter all season, so why abandon it now?
What do you think? Agree? Disagree? Share your thoughts on McCain and the rest of the show (plus your favorite lines) in the comments below! And check back in two weeks when Erin is back from vacation with the next new episode, and presumably, a new president to lampoon!
Behind the strength of Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impression and multiple big-name cameos, this season of SNL has turned the election into ratings gold again and again. With a scheduled appearance by Sen. John McCain set for this episode, could the gang do it one more time on the final live broadcast before America heads to the polls? Let's find out!

Yes, it showed he's a regular guy who is ready to lead the country.
Maybe, though I think most people have already made up their minds.
No, it was unprofessional and made me like him less.

Fish feet…
Posted on | June 24, 2010 | 23 Comments
With J's current fish obsession we're on the look out for books about fish at the moment. One Smart Fish by Chris Wormell was a chance find when we were visiting the Natural History Museum a few weeks back – it's not a book I had previously heard of – but it's now definitely one of J's favourites so far this year.
One Smart Fish tells the story of a crucial evolutionary step – how many millions of years ago some fish left the sea and began life on land. It's a big topic but through the use of stunning illustrations and perfectly pitched text, liberally sprinkled with humour, Wormell has written the ideal book for introducing the idea of evolution to young children.
Many pages are densely packed with a range of fish of all shapes, sizes, colours and texture, whilst the penultimate double page spread has a hugely detailed expanse of creatures surging out across the land showing the evolution from fish to – eventually – human beings. Like the earlier pictures of fish we can't help pouring over the illustrations and playing "I spy" – just like we do when reading some other much enjoyed books of ours – Anno's Journey or The History Puzzle.
One Smart Fish doesn't attempt to deal with the science or evidence for evolution but it does introduce the concept of evolution exceptionally well. Both M and J find it funny yet brilliant that they are evolved from fish – this idea has really caught their imagination and M in particular has wanted to find out more. That Wormell's book has so engaged my two kids and got them asking lots of questions is a testament to its brilliance.
Inspired by the range of beautiful and colourful fish in Wormell's book we set about creating our own ocean full of fish. First I cut out lots of fish shapes from clear plastic containers I've been saving (strawberry punnets, for example). The girls used permanent markers (sharpies) to colour in and decorate the fish.
Next they had a lot of fun cleaning out an old fish tank that had been languishing amongst my pots at the back of the garden.
To make the fish appear to be swimming in the tank we attached two threads to each fish. One thread had a bead or a button attached at one end – the girls had an absolutely wonderful time investigating which of their beads and buttons would sink – an activity we have done again since as they enjoyed it so much. The other thread was attached to a small strip of bubble wrap to give the impression of bubbles coming out of the fishes mouths when they were in the water.
The fish tank was filled with water and then we added some sand – this made the water look a little dirty, but the idea was to make it seem more like the ocean than a sterile fish tank.
A few shells and some other marine life (ocotopi and sea horses) were added to complete our land beneath the waves.
We all had a great deal of fun creating this seascape – if you are inspired to do something similar, we'd love to hear about it
One Smart Fish: *** (3 stars)
Some fishy music to create by:
For more songs with an evolutionary theme you could take a look at Songs about Darwin and Evolution from Cells in Culture or Evolution Songs: Celebrating Charles Darwin's 200th Birthday from Gigwise.
And some more fish activities that might work well alongside this book:
Having read One Smart Fish – the text of which is simple enough for J, at 2, to enjoy and easily follow, I then read the more complex How Whales Walked Into the Sea by Faith McNulty, Ted Rand, and Ted Lewin with M. If you can get hold of it I would urge you do do so as I cannot imagine a better follow-up read to One Smart Fish – it deals with the evolutionary step taken by one branch of mammals that returned to the sea, eventually resulting in whales. I first came across this book thanks to a review over at In need of Chocolate, where you can find a great series of posts about books for kids on evolution and prehistory. If you wanted a book for adults that would go really well with One Smart Fish and How Whales Walked Into the Sea, At the water's edge by Carl Zimmer comes highly recommended by my wonderful husband!
Now what about you? Do you have any favourite picture books about fish? Or about evolution?

I love the fish tank idea – I want to make one never mind the kids!
"Swimmy" is a classic fish story that I love and "I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean" has been so well-read in my classroom that I think I need a new copy as the one I have is almost beyond repair. I guess a giant squid doesn't really count as a fish, but it is a good book nonetheless.
June 24th, 2010 @ 5:48 am
What a coincidence – we were reading another Chris Wormell book just yesterday – George, the Dragon and the Princess
Love your projects around books you read. You have boundless energy!
Btw another excellent book for evolution is 'The Story of Life on Earth' by Nicholas Harris.
We had borrowed it from our libe when my older child was 5 and she like it so much that we eventually bought our own copy. Is a big hit with the current 5 yr old now.

Hi Andi, Yes, my girls love Swimmy, but I don't know I'm the Biggest thing in the ocean – but it's in our library system and I've just reserved it Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Choxbox, I WISH i did have boundless energy… Thanks for the link to the Harris book. It is NOT in our library system But I'll keep a note of it. BTW the weather is still looking good!

And one more thing – in London at least you could become a member of the library system of a borough other than the one you lived in too. We were members of library systems of three boroughs, and had access to a fourth via a friend. Almost always found a book in one or the other of them.
Am thinking this would be possible where you live too.
June 24th, 2010 @ 9:04 am
Hi Choxbox, Thanks for the good thinking. The library I have access to is pretty large – 2,752,770 books in the system. Basically it is all the libraries in the second largest city in the UK so I can't really complain. And of course I can order books from outside this system but it costs me nearly £5 for that – at which price I might as well buy the book for myself (at least when it comes to most kids' books).
June 24th, 2010 @ 10:28 am
And thats one thing I miss – the awesome library system! And have I told you – we lived across the road from one of the largest in London
Thankfully we do have a few very good private libraries.

Zoe,thanks for mentioning my review and my prehistory series. We'll definitely be looking for One Smart Fish and your seascape is fantastic!
We've bee enjoying Tiddler by Julia Donaldson about a fish who makes up tall tales and a silly fish book we also discovered recently is Hooray for Fish by Lucy Cousins.

Hi Sarah,
Yes, Tiddler comes highly recommended by my two too, and the colourful fish in Hooray for Fish are inevitably much adored by our Maisy fans in this house!

I like the transparency of the fish. The picture of the tank reminded me of one of the pictures in A.Lester's Imagine – where the children are playing with sea toys inside their aquarium.

My son likes One Smart Fish. And it has led him to ask some brilliant questions. It actually reminded me to go and try and get a Tree of Life poster. The BBC were giving away a free copy of a wonderful illustration of Charles Darwin's work, but sadly such was the demand they rescinded the giveaway.
Love the idea of plastic fish, and as we currently have no fish stocks in our tank, may give it a go ourselves.

Oh I'm sorry you didn't get the BBC poster – we did manage to get a copy, and not it stand proudly in our hall. Even though it must have been up for the best part of a year every week one of us still ends up sitting in front of it exploring one branch or the other!

Hi Sunnyvale422, Thanks for your kind words. Yes, it's a really lovely book on the topic – worth looking out for. I was aware when I posted this review that about half my readership might not share my beliefs on this topic and wondered how that would pan out. Views on evolution are one of the big cultural divides I think between the UK and US – I don't think I've ever met someone here in the UK who believes in creationism.

Here you will find more information than you can find anywhere related to economic development, site selection and expanding or relocating your business to the American South, the world's third-largest economy. Why a Web site built and dedicated to executives and consultants searching the American South for a suitable site? That's an easy answer. The South is by far the nation's most active region for capital investment and job generation. More companies move and expand in the South than any other place in the U.S.
For example, did you know that with 117 million people the South is the most populated region of the U.S.? In the 1950s the South, the Northeast and the Midwest all had about the same populations, right at 56 million each. Today the South's population is about the same as the Northeast and the Midwest combined.
In addition did you know that the South is:

The Manchester Redevelopment Agency and the Manchester Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) have engaged The Cecil Group, a Boston-based planning and design firm, to help write zoning regulations for the Broad Street redevelopment area. Known as a "form-based" code, this new zoning approach emphasizes the design and layout of public and private spaces and buildings as much as the uses and activities that are allowed in the zone. Form-based codes are intended to allow flexibility in use, while ensuring development creates an attractive and special place in the community.
On December 16th, representatives from the Cecil Group presented work-to-date on the new Broad Street zoning regulations. The presenters reviewed what a form-based zoning code is, what it could look like in the Broad Street Redevelopment Area and preliminary results of the Visual Preference Survey. Click HERE to view a slide show of that presentation.
As part of this process, The Cecil Group conducted a visual preference survey. In this kind of a survey people are asked to look at a series of photographs and rate each photograph based on whether it would be something that is desirable or undesirable, in this case in the Broad Street redevelopment area.
The response to the survey was tremendous. Over 400 people completed the survey and over 100 took the time to make comments. Click HERE to view the results. The results of the visual preference survey will help guide the Agency, the PZC and the consultants in formulating the new zoning regulations' design standards.

- C.S. Lewis
A friend of mine is asking what I know about Dr. David Jeremiah - I have no real knowledge of him and so was wondering if any of you do.
My friend doesn't have any reason to think he's not legit, but just is asking around because his wife has been listening to DJ recently.
Any insights? Please leave them in the comments thread. Thanks!
Trackback URL: http://thinklings.org/bloo.trackback.php/6992.
My husband and I attended his church one Sunday when we were visiting relatives in San Diego. I have listened to him on the radio. He sounds solid theologically to me. I haven't detected any error yet. I believe he had cancer and has been through cancer treatment.
Here is what Wikipedia said: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Jeremiah
Have heard only good things. I do think he's a premil dispy, but other than that pretty sure he's well within the camp of orthodoxy. Have met a lot of people who really like him.
The real test would be in his statement of faith and sermons...here's one of those. from his website.
Statement of Faith
The church faith is expressed in that form of doctrine generally held by those known as Baptists, the distinguishing features of which are stated below.
As Baptists, we stand for the supreme authority of the Word of God as the only rule of faith and practice, as opposed to all human traditions.
We stand for the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper as Christ enjoined them upon His followers; the same in number, in act, in order and in symbolic meaning, unchanged and unchangeable 'til He comes again.
As a New Testament Church, we affirm our belief in the individual priesthood of the believer, in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures; in the Virgin Birth and essential Deity of our Lord; in His atoning death and bodily resurrection; in His ascension into Heaven and promised endowment of the Holy Spirit; in His personal, visible premillennial return and ultimate and undisputed Kingdom and reign.
We stand for a regenerated and spiritual church, holding that only those who have confessed a personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord shall be received into this church or welcomed to its ordinances.
In church policy we believe:
That a Christian Church is a local congregation, under Christ complete in itself, sovereign and independent.
That Christ committed to each church the sole guardianship and control of the ordinances; i.e., preaching the Gospel, baptizing and administering the Lord's Supper.
That all church rights and privileges are limited to the discipline of each local church.
That no semblance of ecclesiastical authority can be exercised except by a local church. The local church alone can elect, commission, and depose its officers, receive discipline and exclude its members.
He's a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, has pastored only Baptist churches and frequently speaks at Dallas Theological Seminary and Moody Bible Institute. All that tells me a lot.
Christian. Baptist. Conservative (maybe even a bit fundamentalist). Dispensationalist. Affirms authority of Scripture.
Here's the faith statement from the church he pastors (shadow mountain community church) -
His dispensationalism is off-putting to me, but that's my issue, isn't it. Heard him give a sermon where he said the Reformers, Luther and Calvin, didn't go far enough for him. I tuned him out after that. Dispensationalism is problematic, the more I hear hard core dispensationalists, of which he seems to be a part.

Camilla Parker Bowles's Brother Dead After Fall in New York

Skip to content, or skip to search.
Mark Shand was 63.
"Naturally she is a little nervous about the big day, what new mum wouldn't be?"
That other duchess did.
Attending garden parties, wearing enormous hats.
Also, who knew there was a Pippa impersonator?
She browsed workout clothes at Selfridges on Monday.
"She has a fantastic sense of humor, she really does."
He communed with farm animals and smelled the roses.
Prince William wore a bright-red baseball cap — and he pulled it off.
Famous people like to watch sports, too.
Plus, Miranda Kerr doesn't love coconut oil quite as much as was previously stated.
Did Princess Beatrice finally get it right?
And more royal-wedding beauty news!
It's almost over, you guys.
That's former royal-protection officer Ken Wharfe talking to the BBC about Prince Charles and Camilla's close call last night.
But, to be fair, they are really AWESOME ones.
The critic, known for his annual best- and worst-dressed lists, was 86.

Boys Will Be Boys (Downtown)Published on November 10th, 2009.
Doing stuff that hurts and pisses off other people is generally something we guys find amusing, right? Well the boys (or men) in Gaki no Tsukai are no different when they're trying on ball medicine, 15 or so guys in a small room trying on ball medicine can't go wrong.
Hamada's reaction is priceless xD Just search for "bengay" on YouTube and you'll find more!

How To Stop People From Stealing Your Blog Content
Blogging Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it is also the most destructive, at least when it comes to online content. When other websites steal (i.e. republish without permission) content from your blog, you are hurt in several ways: Your content becomes duplicate content in the SERPs. While search engines try to determine which copy was the original (yours!), they aren't always accurate, and your content could be ranked lower or ...Continue reading

You won't find heavy, gloppy sauce here, but make no mistake: this is stroganoff through and through. Meaty mushrooms and comforting noodles in cream sauce lighten up a bit when baked with chicken instead of beef.

Did you change this recipe?Add your Twist
A twist is a way to share your own spin on our recipies!
|1/2 pound (8 oz.) egg noodles
|1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
|2 tablespoons butter, divided
|1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
|1/2 pound crimini mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
|1 cup chicken broth
|1 small yellow onion
|1 tablespoon flour
|1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
|1 cup regular sour cream
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Bring a 4-quart saucepan filled with water to a boil while you make the casserole and add the egg noodles. Cook until al dente, then drain and reserve.
Melt the butter in a large, high-sided sauté pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms in a single layer, stir to coat, then cook without stirring for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned.
While the mushrooms cook, peel the onion, slice off both ends, cut in half lengthwise, then slice very thinly along the "grain" of the onion to make long strips (not half-moons). Add the onion and salt to the mushrooms, stir, and cook for 5 minutes more to soften the onion.
Transfer the mushrooms and onion to a deep square casserole dish.
Add the oil to the skillet until shimmering, then add the chicken. Cook about 2 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to the casserole dish.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute more, then remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream and reserved egg noodles.
Toss the noodles and sauce with the mushrooms, onion, and chicken in the casserole dish.
Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the top of the casserole is crispy and the sauce is thick and bubbling. Serve immediately.

Pinellas County Health Alert
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (970 WFLA) - Pinellas County Health officials say a sentinel chicken kept in Sawgrass Lake Park in St. Petersburg has tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis. The disease can be transmitted to humans through a mosquito bite. Symptoms include headaches, fever, chills and vomitting and can progress quickly. Even though EEE is rare in humans, two cases have been reported in the state this year. The last human case in Pinellas County was reported three years ago. Officials say the best way to prevent EEE is to prevent mosquito bites by wearing long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk and using mosquito repellent. Also, remove any standing water around your home.

This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the MATCH function (function: A prewritten formula that takes a value or values, performs an operation, and returns a value or values. Use functions to simplify and shorten formulas on a worksheet, especially those that perform lengthy or complex calculations.) in Microsoft Excel.
The MATCH function searches for a specified item in a range (range: Two or more cells on a sheet. The cells in a range can be adjacent or nonadjacent.) of cells, and then returns the relative position of that item in the range. For example, if the range A1:A3 contains the values 5, 25, and 38, then the formula
returns the number 2, because 25 is the second item in the range.
Use MATCH instead of one of the LOOKUP functions when you need the position of an item in a range instead of the item itself. For example, you might use the MATCH function to provide a value for the row_num argument of the INDEX function.
MATCH(lookup_value, lookup_array, [match_type])
The MATCH function syntax has the following arguments (argument: A value that provides information to an action, an event, a method, a property, a function, or a procedure.):
The lookup_value argument can be a value (number, text, or logical value) or a cell reference to a number, text, or logical value.
The following table describes how the function finds values based on the setting of the match_type argument.
Use the embedded workbook shown here to work with examples of this function. You can inspect and change existing formulas, enter your own formulas, and read further information about how the function works.
To work in-depth with this workbook, you can download it to your computer and open it in Excel. For more information, see the article Download an embedded workbook from OneDrive and open it on your computer.
