Jonathan Witt Should Read Before He Writes
Responding to George Will's excellent column on "A debate that will does not end," Discovery Institute Senor Fellow Jonathan Witt, Ph.D. in English, writes to Newsweek,
George Will says the theory of intelligent design isn't falsifiable - isn't a "testable hypothesis." Actually, particular design arguments are falsifiable. Design theorist Michael Behe, for instance, argues that we can detect design in the bacterial flagellum because the tiny motor needs all its parts to function at all. That's a problem for Darwinian evolution, which builds novel form one tiny functional mutation at a time. How to falsify Behe's argument? Provide a detailed evolutionary pathway from simple ancestor to present motor. The flagellum might still be designed, but Behe's argument that such design is detectable would have been falsified. [Newsweek July 7, 2005, 19-20]
Anyone reading this letter and not knowing much biology, and that is most readers, would think that there has been no attempt to falsify Behe's flagellum argument. Of course, they would be wrong. And a major part of the falsifying evidence and argument is exactly what Witt asks for. All he'd had to do is go to TalkOrigins and search for flagellum. The very first hit debunks Behe's argument from three different directions. The first one is exactly what Witt demands.
One plausible path for the evolution of flagella goes through the following basic stages (keep in mind that this is a summary, and that each major co-option event would be followed by long periods of gradual optimization of function):
a) A passive, nonspecific pore evolves into a more specific passive pore by addition of gating protein(s). Passive transport converts to active transport by addition of an ATPase that couples ATP hydrolysis to improved export capability. This complex forms a primitive type-III export system.
b) The type-III export system is converted to a type-III secretion system (T3SS) by addition of outer membrane pore proteins (secretin and secretin chaperone) from the type-II secretion system. These eventually form the P- and L-rings, respectively, of modern flagella. The modern type-III secretory system forms a structure strikingly similar to the rod and ring structure of the flagellum (Hueck 1998; Blocker et al. 2003).
c) The T3SS secretes several proteins, one of which is an adhesin (a protein that sticks the cell to other cells or to a substrate). Polymerization of this adhesin forms a primitive pilus, an extension that gives the cell improved adhesive capability. After the evolution of the T3SS pilus, the pilus diversifies for various more specialized tasks by duplication and subfunctionalization of the pilus proteins (pilins).
d) An ion pump complex with another function in the cell fortuitously becomes associated with the base of the secretion system structure, converting the pilus into a primitive protoflagellum. The initial function of the protoflagellum is improved dispersal. Homologs of the motor proteins MotA and MotB are known to function in diverse prokaryotes independent of the flagellum.
e) The binding of a signal transduction protein to the base of the secretion system regulates the speed of rotation depending on the metabolic health of the cell. This imposes a drift toward favorable regions and away from nutrient-poor regions, such as those found in overcrowded habitats. This is the beginning of chemotactic motility.
f) Numerous improvements follow the origin of the crudely functioning flagellum. Notably, many of the different axial proteins (rod, hook, linkers, filament, caps) originate by duplication and subfunctionalization of pilins or the primitive flagellar axial structure. These proteins end up forming the axial protein family.
How much more detail does Witt want?
And then TalkOrigins gives very specific evidence,
The bacterial flagellum is not even irreducible. Some bacterial flagella function without the L- and P-rings. In experiments with various bacteria, some components (e.g. FliH, FliD (cap), and the muramidase domain of FlgJ) have been found helpful but not absolutely essential (Matzke 2003). One third of the 497 amino acids of flagellin have been cut out without harming its function (Kuwajima 1988). Furthermore, many bacteria have additional proteins that are required for their own flagella but that are not required in the "standard" well-studied flagellum found in E. coli. Different bacteria have different numbers of flagellar proteins (in Helicobacter pylori, for example, only thirty-three proteins are necessary to produce a working flagellum), so Behe's favorite example of irreducibility seems actually to exhibit quite a bit of variability in terms of numbers of required parts (Ussery 1999).
Eukaryotic cilia are made by more than 200 distinct proteins, but even here irreducibility is illusive. Behe (1996) implied and Denton (1986, 108) claimed explicitly that the common 9+2 tubulin structure of cilia could not be substantially simplified. Yet functional 3+0 cilia, lacking many microtubules as well as some of the dynein linkers, are known to exist (Miller 2003, 2004).
TalkOrigins has even more.
It is simply irresponsible for Witt to write such a letter using as his only example a completely discredited idea.
While Witt has packed a lot of nonsense into a single short paragraph, there are just a couple of other points I would like to address. Contrary to what one might think from Witt's letter, intelligent design creationism is not based on things like Behe's claim; it is based on a series of naive intuitions that are looking for something that has the appearance of support to the holder of such naive intuitions. If you don't believe me look at the "escape clause" with which Witt ends the letter,
The flagellum might still be designed, but Behe's argument that such design is detectable would have been falsified.
In fact, there are no falsifiable claims made by intelligent design creationists that would falsify intelligent design creationism for them. The few such claims they have made have all been shown to be false or based on faulty logic or both. But there are thousands of such claims that biologists make on a regular basis that, if falsified, would bring down the current synthesis.
Finally, George Will does say, "The problem with intelligent-design theory is not that it is false but that it is not falsifiable. . ." And despite Witt's letter, Will is correct. The often-repeated set of claims of Behe's idea is one, do not make a scientific theory; they are just a set of incorrect surmises. No number of incorrect surmises adds up to a scientific theory. The "theory", if you want to call it that, is that some designer created all or major parts of the biological diversity we see around us. And that "theory," based as it is on faith, is not falsifiable. Witt's escape clause is strong evidence that I am correct on this point.
It would be helpful if the folks at the Discovery Institute, would stop bringing up the same discredited arguments and instead read, and react to the real evidence. They might just discover something.

Intelligent Design should never have been introduced as a subject for debate by the IDists. ID is a given without which nothing in evolution will ever make any sense. Living things are machines and WERE designed. Just as machines are specified with blueprints, so both ontogeny and phylogeny have had their blueprints as as well. For evolution those blueprints have apparently all been read and implemented with evolution now limited to the production of varieties and subspecies. These phenomena are indeed the result of selection, natural or artificial, but macroevolution, no longer in progress, resulted largely if not entirely from endogenous forces the nature of which remain unknown but in my opinion, and that of Pierre Grasse and Leo Berg, undeniable.
These considerations, about which I remain convinced, provide the basis for the "Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis," Rivista di Biologia 98(1): 155-167, 2005.

I am surprised that my post has not created some reaction. We critics of Darwinism have always been ignored. Perhaps this is just one more example.

Here are my comments from PandasThumb:
Jonathan Witt has a Ph.D. In English. But he's not very good with it, as he demonstrates when he refers to specific instances of things claimed to be designed as "particular design arguments". Nor does he do well with theory of science or with logic. It is empirical claims, or theories with empirical implications, not "arguments", that are falsifiable. Behe's claim is that recognition that the flagellum could not have evolved constitutes detection of design. Aside from the fact that this is blatant argumentum ad ignorantiam and sticks human psychology in the middle of biological theory, showing that the flagellum might have evolved would only show that design was not detected in this case, so it doesn't "falsify" any theory. But it would refute Behe's claim that the flagellum is IC, or that IC isn't achievable by evolution. Except that this claim has been refuted numerous times, above and beyond the fact that Behe has never shown the good faith of accepting the burden of proof that attaches to those who make claims. Jonathan Witt also doesn't do well with the theory of evolution; he knows, or should know, because it's been explained numerous times already, that "needs all of its parts to function at all" is not "a problem for Darwinian evolution", and that the claim that "Darwinian evolution … builds novel form one tiny functional mutation at a time" is nonsense; mutations are at least as likely to alter or destroy existing form as they are to create novel form. Behe and Witt construct absurdly constricted rules as to the effects of mutations, label this silly strawman "Darwinian evolution", and then complain that it can't do the job. This has nothing to do with science, which builds theories as it goes that describe how things actually are, according to the evidence, rather than setting up some a priori "theory" as a fixed set of rules and then tossing it out when it doesn't fit the facts. That's why the theory of evolution itself has "evolved".
So, given that he lacks relevant qualifications, competence, knowledge, and ethics, why is Jonathan Witt given any credence at all?

in my opinion
Hi Professor,
May I suggest that lack of a reaction may be due to the lack of content in your post. Where do you see the evidence for the various assertions that you have made over the years?
Posted by: Alan Fox at July 21, 2005 04:28 AM
There is as yet no evoltionay theory, only failed and untested hypotheses. Darwinism and Lamarckism are examples of the former and the Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis is an example of the latter. Darwinism in all its trappings remains the most thoroughly tested and failed hypothesis in all of biological science. It had absolutely nothing to do with creative evolution beyond the production of varieties and subspecies. To continue to claim that it did is scandalous.
Posted by: John A. Davison at July 21, 2005 04:32 AM
More assertions. Evidence?
Posted by: Alan Fox at July 21, 2005 04:35 AM
Mendel's experiments, truly unique contributions to biological science, were ignored for 32 years until, long after his death, they were finally accepted when something was finally recognized that occurred as pairs, namely the chromosomes. Some of us now realize that the chromosomes, not the genes, are the real instruments of evolutionary progress as it is becoming increasingly more evident that evolution has involved the release from latency of preformed, front-loaded information which was there from very early on in the evolutionary sequence or more likely sequences. That is exactly how ontogeny functions today by the controlled release from latency of information that must have been present in the fertilized egg. Ontogeny remains a powerful model for phylogeny. Both have have involved the derepression of preformed information, a process which has in no way involved the environment beyond its possible role as a releaser. In short, both processes proceeded driven by internal forces which as yet have not been identified but whose existence can no longer be questioned except by ideologues who are congenitally incapable of recognizing reality.
As for my own contribution to the great mystery of evolution, it is little more than the natural extension of the independent insights of several of the most penetrating minds of two centuries, every one of whom saw through the Darwinian hypothesis and identified it as a total failure.
Darwinism in all its many guises remains the most failed hypothesis in the history of science. Soren Lovtrup called it a deceit. I call it a hoax.
As for evidence, it is the lack of it that has doomed Darwinism. The time honored method of the elimination of all alternatives has driven me to the only reasonable remaining explanation, an explanation that remains in complete accord with everything we really know about the greatest mystery in all of biological science, the origin, or more likely origins, and the subsequent history of those origins, a history which seems to have run its course.
I don't expect anyone to take my word for it so I offer the independent appraisals of some of my distinguished sources, not a Darwinian in the lot.
"Evolution is in a great measure measure an unfolding of pre-existing rudiments."
Leo Berg, Nomogenesis, page 406
"Finally, Bateson likewise (1914, p. 640) inclines to the view that the entire process of evolution may be regarded as 'an unpacking of an original complex which contained within itself the whole range of diversity which living things present'."
ibid, page 359
"However that may be, the existence of internal factors affecting evolution has to be accepted by any objective mind..."
Pierre Grasse, The Evolution of Living Organisms, page 209
"At most, the environment plays only a similar role with regard to organisms; IT CAN ONLY PROVOKE AND SET IN MOTION SOME POTENTIAl THAT IS ALREADY PRESENT."
Otto Schindewolf, Basic Questions in Paleontology, page 312 (his emphasis)
To continue to deliberately and cynically ignore these scientists constitutes nothing less than a scandal, one unprecedented in the history of science.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for neoDarwinism.
"Meine Zeit wird schon kommen!"
Gregor Mendel
Posted by: John A. Davison at July 21, 2005 07:55 AM
No-one questions the contribution of Gregor Mendel to Science (except for whispers that some of his later results were "too good to be true"). Are you comparing yourself with Gregor Mendel?
Chromosomes are real structures that contain DNA which in turn carries reproducible information sequentially in the triplet base code. A gene is a length of that sequence. How can one say the chromosomes, not the genes, are the real instruments of evolutionary progress?
Darwin made an enormous contribution to evolutionary biology that has created a framework for subsequent interlinking discoveries and theories. There is a huge body of evidence and for you to claim otherwise as a former professor of biology is, frankly, amazing.
Your front loading theory (hypothesis, or perhaps untested hypothesis might be more accurate) seems prone to the same "reductio ad absurdum" argument as the older idea of the Homunculus.

First of all I have no theory. There is at present no theory of evolution, only failed and untested hypotheses. I have offered one of the latter and it isn't even entirely mine. As I have published, the idea of a prescribed evoluion can be traced back first to William Bateson, then to Reginald C. Punnett, then to Leo Berg, next to Otto Schindewolf, next to Pierre Grasse and finally to myself. Furthermore, such an hypothesis may not even be testable directly just as Schindewolf suggested. Nevertheless, the great antiquity of many gene families which until recently were thought to be of mammalian origin clearly favors this hypothesis. So does everything we know from chromosome structure and physiology. There is not a shred of evidence that allelic mutation has ever played a role in creative evolution. The entire mutation/selection scheme of neoDarwinism is a myth without foundation.
The simple undeniable truth is that there is not a single tangible piece of evidence implicating the environment in producing any progressive evolutionary change beyond the variety or subspecies. The only thing that seems undeniably certain is that evolution proceeded independent of the environment just as ontogeny does today. The fundamental error that the Darwinians still continue to make is that evolution has or had an exogenous cause. Such a cause has yet to be identified and, until it has been, I maintain that such a cause never existed beyond acting as a trigger for an innate latent potential. If you or others are willing to continue ignoring the independent conclusions of scientists of the caliber of Pierre Grasse, William Bateson, Leo Berg, Otto Schindewolf and Reginald C. Punnett, in favor of the empty speculations of such self-proclaimed armchair experts as Ernst Mayr, Stephen Jay Gould, William Provine, Francisco Ayala and Richard Dawkins, there is nothing that I can or further choose to do for you. I come to forums in the same spirit that I publish my papers. It is to enlighten. I get only negative responses from amateurs most of whom insist on anonymity. I am still waiting for the professionals to respond in hard copy to the challenges presented by myself and my many distinguished predecessors all of whom have identified neoDarwinism as an intellectual and scientific disaster. Darwinism, without question, is the most thoroughly discredited hypothesis in the history of science. It persists only for ideological reasons which, in all probablility, as has already been demonstrated for our political views, has a genetic basis. The way we look at the world is just one more manifestation of a prescribed and predestined evolution.

The cowards at Panda's Pathetic Pollex, led by Esley Welsberry, banned me, hopefully for life from any further participation in that snake pit.
I cherish that award right along with similar honorifics from ARN, EvC, The Austringer, Uncommon Descent, ISCID's "brainstorms" (what a misnomer), A Physicists Perspective, Pharyngula and FringeSciences. I am sure I have overlooked a few. I also understand I have been granted the "Crankiest" prize for which I am not only pleased but delighted.
For some reason John Rennie still allows me to post at SciAm Perspectives where I have unanswered posts at several threads. He is practicing the time honored method adopted by Darwinians for decades. They just pretend their critics do not exist. It is easier for them that way don't you know.
When I am ignored and worse, denigrated and ridiculed, it is for exactly the same reason that Pierre Grasse, William Bateson, Richard B. Goldschmidt, Leo Berg, Reginald C. Punnett, Robert Broom and Otto Schindewolf also continue to be ignored. Both collectively and individually we have destroyed Darwinism many times over. The Darwinians are congenitally incapable of recognizing that they are chasing a phantom and always have been. The only remaining alternative, that evolution was a planned and predetermined sequence, simply cannot penetrate their ideologically and genetically barricaded brains. It is really not their fault as it is just another manifestation of a prescribed evolution. Don't take my word for it. Just consider the opinion of another, like myself, a convinced determinist. I can only hope that you have more respect for him than you have for me and the many distinguished sources on whom my contributions so heavily depend.
"Our actions should be based on the ever-present awareness that human beings in their thinking, feeling, and acting are not free but are just as causally bound as the stars in their motion."

Will You Accept a Post Dated Check, Sir?
$20 mil, Mr. Blank? Sure thing. Just let Mike unscrew the bottom of his Aquafina bottle and he'll pull it out for you right away
I seriously doubt Michael Vick has $20 million to spare, but if he is forced to repay that kind of money to the Atlanta Falcons, he will hover like a curse over the NFL for a long time. Anyway, the Falcons shouldn't be trusted with that kind of money. They might spend it on free agents. Expensive, worthless free agents like Peerless Price or Ed Hartwell.
If NFL teams are granted the ability to demand repayment of bonuses to such an extent, expect a chill on the inducement power of the signing bonus. Jamarcus Russell length holdouts will become more normal. He got his money, but the Raiders lost the ability to choose whether or not their coveted #1 pick would start this season. Teams will lose the salary cap flexibility when dealing with coveted players who prefer to eschew the risk of potentially having to give their money back. Steve Wyche of the AJC elaborates:
The ramifications of this case could be profound, which is why the players' union immediately drew up papers to file an appeal of Burbank's decision. Should the Falcons ultimately win this case, teams throughout the league could make use the same argument to recoup bonus money paid to players found to have violated terms of their contract.
Still, Vick's professional team is getting the sideways glance. Things continue to go so badly for Michael Vick on a seemingly daily basis, one has to wonder whether he would have been better off facing a jury of his peers. What more would he have lost, even if he was found guilty? The downside of the guilty plea was that various third parties now have a negative factual basis to rely on. It increasingly seems apparent that there was no coordination amongst Vick's professional team. No one has stepped up to simultaneously manage Vick's freedom, image, finances and professional prospects. They have a copy of the contract. If a $20 million judgment was a foreseeable risk, they should have worked out a private settlement with the Falcons. If the guilty plea was going to collapse the rest of Vick's life like a house of cards, maybe Michael should have gone to trial.
Michael Vick has lost so much. Too much for the crime he committed. Someone needs to show him some mercy. Maybe that person could be the commissioner who could expedite Vick's return to the league so that Vick can get started on that payment plan.

That was made clear when the team placed him on Reserve-Injured on Wednesday, and now the Chargers are left to move forward without a guy that's made the Pro Bowl every season since '07.
"The hardest thing, that group has had such great continuity," Head Coach Norv Turner said. "You look at a guy like Kris Dielman and he's kind of been not only the heart and soul of that group but this football team for a long time. He brings so much more than just his physical presence on the field.
"He's been quite a player here and we'll miss him over the next period. I'm anxious for him to get completely healthy and be able to play in the future."
Many of Dielman's teammates acknowledged his absence creates a big void, and not just for his play.
"Personally, I clicked with Diel right when I got here,"
"Other guys are going to pick it up. He's going to be right there helping his team along still."
Turner was not optimistic about
Another big question along the line is at right guard.
Close to 100-percent healthy after the extended break between games, Turner expects Ryan Mathews,
If all else fails, Rivers has proven himself reliable under pressure. A late-game interception against Oakland under unusual circumstances aside, Turner said the quarterback made "great progress."
"(Rivers) handled things extremely well under as much pressure as I think he has ever been or we've ever been under since I've been here," Turner said.
"This front we're playing is outstanding. They give you multiple problems. We have to be very careful with how much we ask our guys to do, but you have to give them a chance to go make plays."
STILL UNIFIED: Turner called the team "anxious" to return to the practice field Wednesday and described the session as high-energy.
The Chargers see a seven-game season ahead of them that starts in Chicago this week and on Wednesday seemed far from a team that's going to fall apart after a tough losing streak.
"(There's) no team dissension. We always stick together,"
"We always rally together. Sometimes it takes us a while but we figure out what we need to do to win."
Jackson was bracketed by two defenders on the play and did not appear to see the ball enter the end zone. Oakland's Matt Giordano picked off the potential game-tying throw.
"As a receiver you go out there expecting the ball coming your way every play. I was looking for it," Jackson said. "I still feel like I can track the ball pretty well at night. But I never saw it go up.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I am so pleased with the wedding invitations I ordered! The layout is simple and pretty, and I love the red on black. I uploaded a black and white picture to the front of the invitation, and it went perfectly with the chalkboard style! On the back, it was great to be able to add three more pictures for a variety! The quality of the paper and printing was excellent...nothing flimsy or un-professional at all! I am very impressed! Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I liked the feedback received from your designer on requesting final approval. It showed you cared about getting the product to my satisfaction."
"Our wedding invitations and RSVP cards from the Cherished Calendar suite turned out beautifully. I was so happy with the quality and design, as well as our designer's touches. Even though it was a Canadian order, I only waited 2 days with regular shipping from the time I approved my proofs to receiving my delivery...so fast! Would definitely recommend Wedding Paper Divas."
"This invite was perfect for us. We were able to select a color and font we preferred and we also added an image. The quality of the paper and printing was better than expected. It shipped so fast, there was minimal wait time."
"Love the invite! we are getting married in Las Vegas in October and this invitation is just perfect. It's not too cliche and it's not too stuffy! Guests are already saying how muh they love them!"

Editors' note: This review has been updated with more information from the latest version released October 29.
Flipboard (iOS|Android) is a neat visual newsreader and social network hub that lets you organize the info you want to look at, then flip through it like you would a magazine. The app lets you create custom magazines from the sources you like most so you can browse through your favorite topics, share your magazine with others, or find magazines about topics you're interested in created by other users.
In the latest update, Flipboard makes finding new topics much easier by browsing or via search, and includes a Daily Edition of curated content so you can get the most important headlines quickly.
Flipboard has remained one of top newsreaders on mobile since it first released in 2012 because it does a great job of using the touchscreen to its advantage. With only gestures and swipes, you can flip through the "pages" of topics you like the most, and the ability to connect to social networks means stories from your friends on Facebook, Twitter and several other networks get peppered in among more conventional news stories.
Getting started
Get started by creating an account with Flipboard, then (optionally) sign in to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. You also have the option to connect with your LinkedIn, Tumblr, Instagram, Google+, YouTube and several other accounts if you want to pull in content from any of these networks.
Once you're all signed in, Flipboard presents you with a bunch of topics and you can pick the ones you're most interested in. You can pick general topics such as tech and sports or get more specific by choosing iPhone or Basketball, as examples. Once you're finished, Flipboard displays the first story and you can tap to read it or swipe upwards to move on to the next story.
Across the bottom of the app are the main buttons for navigation. The home button brings you to the first story of all the categories you picked in the beginning. But touching the second button gives you panels of all the categories you picked. Here, you have buttons across the top to look at all categories, people you follow (more on this later), more topics you can add, and a button for connecting more social accounts.
Touching a panel lets you browse through any of the default categories. But touching and holding a panel lets you delete or move it wherever you want. There's an enormous amount of content to choose from, making it possible to customize Flipboard with only the types of stories you want.
The Daily Edition
New to the latest version of Flipboard, the Daily Edition is a curated collection of news that comes each morning at 7:00 a.m. local time. Each page has the top two or three headlines in the category, and you can tap on a headline to read more. Swiping upward is little different in the Daily Edition because you're not moving story by story, but topic by topic. So you start with the top headlines, then a swipe up takes you to the day's Cover Story, then further swipes bring you to a Business Digest, Tech Report, Sports Roundup and more so you can browse through headlines sort of like a newspaper.

so i did a little internet research and found some recipes for homemade make-up removers. and then i felt awful because for years i'd been wasting my money on those towelettes when the whole time i had everything in my house to make a make-up remover. think of all the clothes i could have bought with that saved money!!!
ultimately, i decided to use the measurements from one recipe i found but different ingredients. this is literally the easiest diy ever and i'm almost embarrassed to even call it that, but i'm sure someone out there will be amazed at this. i decided to use coconut oil instead of olive oil - i don't know if you've heard, and its not scientifically proven, but coconut oil has magical powers. you can use it for everything. i'm pretty sure that when you use coconut oil in a homemade make-up remover it actually makes you more beautiful. like i said, its not scientifically proven but i'm like 90% sure its true. i also used dr. bronner's liquid soap instead of johnson's baby shampoo. dr. bronners is made from vegetables, completely biodegradable and yeah, i also think there might be some kind of magical powers in this soap (the website even says that its magic).
homemade make-up remover instructions:
grab a jar with a lid. heat one cup of water, you should probably do this on the stove and not in the microwave. pour hot water into the jar, and add one table spoon coconut oil and one tablespoon the soap of your choice. screw the lid onto the jar and shake to combine.
that is it. homemade make-up remover. you should wait for it to cool down before using it. and if you are sitting here thinking "zero waste? what about the cotton pads that you will use to apply the make-up remover?" i've got a solution for that too. i made some flannel make-up remover squares like these. you could also just use an old t-shirt that you cut into squares, but the flannel squares are cuter.
a few tips - do not use the peppermint dr. bronners, it will burn your eyes. i'd suggest the lavender, rose or the unscented mild baby soap.
will you try the homemade make-up remover? i've been using it for months and i works just as well as the expensive, throw away towelettes. let me know what you think in the comments!

The frightful connection between AKC, HSUS, PAWS, USDA, NAIS (Federal Animal ID System) GPS, microchips, Digital Angel, and Senators Fred Thompson & Rick Santorum. Tying this knot is as easy as petting your dog.
March 2006 | TheDogPress.com
Barbara J. Andrews, Editor-In-Chief
Before I tell you something you won't believe, let me give you a little background. PAWS set the stage on new legislation which like most, is profit-driven. Like PAWS, defeating NAIS will take a lot of education and initiative from animal owners. First, one has to unsnarl the tangled threads of politics that involve AKC and its interest in the microchip industry, Digital Angel and politicians like TN Senator Fred Thompson.
Connect the dots, call 'em knots, call it a genuine, real-life conspiracy. Whatever. Read, verify, then send to friends!
New law mandates GPS satellite tracking;
Can you imagine the networks ignoring a law that means tracking every food animal, even a chicken raised for the family's own consumption? Secrecy surrounding the NAIS, the National Animal Identification System, has finally sprung a leak but has yet to reach the public. Read on and understand why its been suppressed by the media. Do you know anyone else who knows what you're about to learn? Were it not for the Shannons and Mary Zanoni, Ph.D. (Cornell), J.D. (Yale) email@example.com TheDogPress would not have known either.
Can't you just hear Rush Limbaugh's monolog? "The chickens are out! Call a Democrat!" Seriously, every time a pleasure horse leaves the owner's premises, the government will know when and where it went, and failure to report it can bring stiff penalties!
Bill O'Reilly, where are you? Did you know that every piece of property on which resides a food animal must be registered in Big Brother's database? Did you know that detailed information about the property owner will be part of that database?
Sean Hannity, the guy who broke the figures on the Gulf Coast cleanup needs to know NAIS forebodes even more staggering costs, only part of which is the massive tracking database. The database is to be "privatized" i.e. run by someone other than the government. Who will get the NAIS contract?
NAIS costs to be recouped by selling private information. Some lucky company will make a fortune selling information about the premises owner and their habits! The system will record where and for how the horse, cow, pig, or chicken is sold.
Why has this been kept so hush-hush? Why hasn't the secrecy/privacy issue crossed the aisle of political debate? Probably for the same reason PAWS never made media news. There's plenty of payback to go around.
PAWS and NAIS connect profiteering politicians through a tenuous but not surprising link. You know the old saying, "follow the money." In this case, follow power and egotism, but be prepared; the path to political power is as crowded as Sunday morning jogger routes in Central Park!
PAWS, Santorum, GPS connection. If you haven't yet heard of Digital Angel and Senator Rick Santorum, read on. Savvy dog people know that the good Senator is the power behind PAWS, still on the table in 2008. TheDogPlace called PAWS "the worst threat to dog breeders in history."
Wrong on two counts:
NAIS is a newer, greater threat to all animal owners and Santorum seems willing to abdicate his throne on PAWS to Senator Durbin. See links below. Perhaps there's more prestige connected with a position on the Board of Directors of Applied Digital Technologies, the parent company of Digital Angel? The popular Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson thought so. And what you ask, does Digital Angel have to do with PAWS, and now this new thing, this NAIS?
Okay, the first answer is to be found in this self-description:
"Digital Angel Corporation develops advanced RFID and GPS technologies that enable rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets. Applications for our products include identification and monitoring of pets, humans, fish and livestock through our patented implantable microchips as well as message monitoring of aircraft in remote locations through integrated GPS and geosynchronous satellite communications systems."
Now that you can see how enforcement of PAWS would profit a microchip company and you know how one thing leads to another.
GPS Tracking $$$ After microchip technology to "protect our pets" and "stop the importation of masses of foreign dogs" there comes GPS tracking of every living thing on the planet. Wow, forget about the millions of dollars to be made from convincing USDA to institute PAWS, and don't even count the profit potential for "not for profit" organizations like AKC which agreed to take some of the burden of inspections off the USDA. For a price of course. Either way, the taxpayer pays for PAWS.
And so does the dog breeder, private or commercial. We predict inspection fees will be quickly instituted but that's another story.
Go back and reread the part about "monitoring" and "humans." Given no impediments to progress, your children will almost certainly receive an implant and your grandchildren will welcome it! Amber Alerts would no longer be needed. There are admitted benefits to the technology. But let's get back to the here and now.
NAIS is here now. It is already implemented on a voluntary basis in many states and is scheduled to really roll over the next couple of years. The same legislation-crafters and backers who invented PAWS only took a tiny little stumble when dog people said "no, we ain't gonna roll over and play dead." They just hitched up their pants, dumped a few more bucks to the lobbyists and PR machines and quietly proceeded to where the real money is.
How many chickens and pigs are there in the civilized world? Can't count that high? Okay, then how many cows in Texas? Okay let's narrow the chip thing down to just a tiny little country like – ummm, let's see….. how about Portugal?
Chew on this for a minute, it's from a Digital Angel press release. "The Portuguese dog identification program is being conducted in conjunction with the country's annual rabies vaccination drive. The Portuguese ministry was prompted to undertake the project because other countries in Europe had experienced excellent results….. The deadline for all of Portugal's approximately 2 million dogs to be identified and registered in a national database is 2007. ….. (Digital Angel's partner) is Atlanta-based Merial, one of the world's leading animal healthcare companies. …. pet identification is prominent throughout Europe, thanks also to the recently enacted European Union's Pet Passport Initiative."
There! We didn't have to count. Two million dogs will be chipped in just the tiny country of Portugal. Remember, that doesn't include other pets and it doesn't include Europe.
Microchipping was just a precursor to GPS tracking by NAIS. Stop and think. PAWS was a first step. It brought up many "issues" by AKC and HSUS. Microchip, microchip, microchip. Forget about DNA but for goodness sake, microchip. What if your dog is lost?
PAWS was to smooth the way, enforce chipping, get AKC into your homes via "inspections" and yes, ultimately, to insure that you live up to those ridiculous USDA requirements written by non-animal people who think of dogs as rabbits... But I digress.
Reference Vickie Haywood's column SHOW ME THE MONEY: spychips!
Yes, there's more tying the knot to follow. This is a bit like being told your 14 year old daughter is pregnant. First you don't believe it. Then you accept the truth and comfort her. Then you begin to think of the implications and want to castrate the guy that did this to her. Then you take another look at your beautiful daughter and decide whether being a financially and morally responsible grandparent (read that as owner) is in your future. There are no easy decisions but they have to be made.

Dynamic Actionable Recognition Technology (DART) integrates Allot's vast expertise in IP traffic identification and policy enforcement into a highly effective toolkit for managing bandwidth consumption and service performance in mobile and fixed broadband networks.
DART gives network operators the visibility that enables them to optimize their service by introducing traffic management policies that will assure QoS (Quality of Service), to monetize their network with value-based charging schemes and value added services, and to personalize their offering by enabling subscribers to benefit from enhanced QoE (Quality of Experience).
Intelligent service optimization, monetization and personalization begin with granular visibility and an understanding of how IP-broadband network resources and services are being consumed. To that end, DART provides four layers of traffic awareness: application awareness, device awareness, network topology awareness, and subscriber awareness.
DART can also identify the user who is generating the traffic. For example, the service provider may see that one subscriber is streaming YouTube videos to his laptop, while another is Skyping from her iPhone. DART employs real-time mapping of static or dynamically allocated IP addresses to subscribers and their service plans in order to monitor subscriber-application usage and to track consumption patterns and trends in order to personalize the Internet experience.

It's important if it's important to you, if that makes sense. If you're not unhappy with the arrangement you have going, then don't fix it. If you think it'll only make things harder down the line, then change it up.
My LO sleeps 12 hours at night with 1 or 2 wake ups, but I get about 2-3 hours of naps in day. I do notice that on the days his total naps go past 3 or 3.5 hours, he wakes up twice at night. When it's 3 hours or less, it's one wake up and his first stretch of night sleep is longer. So I don't always mind the short naps. If your LO is getting decent night's sleep and sleeping like that during the day, I'd say don't look a gift horse in the mouth, haha!

Whole Foods Debuts Engine 2 Plant-Strong Line
Whole Foods Market has debuted Engine 2 Plant-Strong products, its new line of plant-based, minimally processed snacks, breakfast items and pantry staples. Developed in collaboration with Rip Esselstyn, the products will be available exclusively at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide beginning this month.
"Rip has inspired thousands of Whole Foods Market shoppers and team members to make smarter food choices as a partner in our healthy eating program," said Errol Schweizer, global grocery coordinator at Whole Foods Market, in a news release announcing the launch. "Engine 2 products taste great and are a healthy option for popular snacks and pantry staples."
Rip Esselstyn is the author and founder of "The Engine 2 Diet," and the products adhere to the diet's guidelines, which means they are lower in fat, contain minimal to no added sugar, never contain animal products or added oils, and aim for a one-to-one sodium-to-calories ratio per serving. The products offer consumers a simple way to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diets.
Products in the Engine 2 Plant-Strong line include:
Rip's Big Bowl— A whole grain and omega-3-packed cereal available in three flavors, including Original, Banana Walnut and Triple Berry.
Hummus— Available in Roasted Garlic, Roasted Red Pepper and Jalapeño Cilantro flavors, these Plant-Strong spreads don't contain added oil and are lower in calories, total fat and sodium.
Unsweetened Almond Milk—Vanilla or Original, these non-dairy milks are fortified with vitamin B12 and boast rich, toasted almond flavor.
Organic Crispbreads – Available in Plain and Seeded varieties, these crunchy snacks contain no added sugar, oil or whey, and have been Non-GMO Project verified.
Cantina-Style Salsa – Roma tomatoes and fire-roasted peppers combine for fresh, flavorful salsa without the high sodium content.
Organic Whole Grain Tortillas –Sprouted Ancient Grains or Gluten-Free Brown Rice, both with no added oil.
"It is a dream come true to see the Engine 2 Plant-Strong food line come to fruition," Esselstyn said in the release. "I know these products will make it easier for people to eat healthy and live plant-strong!"
Engine 2 Plant-Strong products are aligned with Whole Foods Market's healthy eating program, Health Starts Here. The program offers hundreds of healthy recipes online, including a series of new Engine 2 Plant-Strong recipes to inspire plant-based cooking at home.
More Engine 2 Plant-Strong products are due in Whole Foods Market stores later in 2013, and Rip Esselstyn has a second book on the topic due to be released in May.

Armstrong is a global leader in the design and manufacture of flooring, cabinetry, ceiling and floor tiles. Many of the world's elite office buildings and homes are adorned with custom Armstrong products.
Armstrong partnered with Archer to develop a product configuration tool called Swatch It for its website. The goal was to present Armstrong's extensive line of products and product combinations so that customers could easily browse, customize, and purchase them.
Archer began by evaluating Armstrong's three unique audiences: architects, commercial consumers, and residential consumers. What set these audiences apart? What goals and approaches did they have in common? Our findings helped define what product features (e.g., product type, color, DIY level, design, size) were most important to users and informed product categorization and configuration flow.
Armstrong is always on the forefront of materials and design. Being cutting edge means rapid product line evolution. Armstrong's internal teams needed a way to update their product data in real time. To achieve this, Archer created a simple but powerful content management system (CMS). In addition to the CMS, Archer integrated Armstrong's Scene7 and Oracle backend systems to enable the selector tool to automatically scale for new product data.
It was important for the solution to accommodate 'shoulder to shoulder' and long-distance collaboration. To achieve this, Archer implemented various sharing options. When the optimal solution is found, simple steps are presented for fulfillment. Detailed specifications output ensures that everything is documented for future reference.
Swatch-It presents a streamlined interface to make sense of Armstrong's more than 4,500 possible product combinations. Archer turned a daunting task into an intuitive customization and ordering process.
