Ice Age Mammals of North America: A Guide to the Big, the Hairy, and the Bizarre
Missoula, MT: Mountain Press Publishing Company, 2002. 224 pages.
The time is the Pleistocene epoch, about 2 million to 10,000 years ago. Continent-size ice sheets cover 30 percent of the earth's landmass, and strange creatures rove the landscape. Ice Age Mammals of North America transports you to the world of saber-tooth cats, woolly mammoths, four-hundred-pound beavers, and twenty-foot-tall ground sloths. The book opens with an overview of the geologic events that led to the Pleistocene epoch and explores possible causes for the ice ages.
Our Family Tree
San Diego: Harcourt Children's Books, 2003. 48 pages.
Charmingly illustrated by Lauren Stringer, Our Family Tree is the perfect picture book about evolution for children ages 4-8 (supplemented with explanations, a handful of references, and a timeline for their adult friends). Reviewing Our Family Tree in RNCSE, Lisa M. Blank recommends the book to "[p]arents and teachers struggling for an intellectually honest and yet engaging approach for answering young children's questions about how life began." And Ernst Mayr wrote, "If we do not understand evolution, we will never understand our world.
Darwin and Evolution for Kids
Chicago: Chicago Review Press, 2003. 160 pages.
In Darwin and Evolution for Kids, Lawson provides a biography of Darwin combined with a sketch of his ideas and their development, along with "engaging and fun activities where children can: make their own fossils using clay, seashells, and plaster; keep field notes as backyard naturalists; investigate whether acquired traits are passed along to future generations; explore the adaptive strategies plants have developed to distribute seeds; observe how carnivorous plants trap and devour their prey; go on a botanical treasure hunt." Darwin and Evolution for Kids was sele
Stones & Bones
Santa Rosa, CA: Polebridge Press, 2007. 28 pages.
From the publisher: "Beautifully illustrated in full color, Stones & Bones sketches the story of evolution in seventeen verses. Through words and illustrations readers will find answers to questions such as, when did the Age of Mammals begin and what is it called? When did the first horses appear on earth? The first whales? What is the name and date of Darwin's revolutionary book on evolution? When did the earth begin to form? And many more." NCSE's Eugenie C.
New York: Random House, 2007. 427 pages.
Billed as "the most complete, up-to-date encyclopedia for dinosaur lovers of all ages," Thomas R. Holtz Jr.'s Dinosaurs brings together contributions from thirty-three of the world's leading paleontologists (including the president of NCSE's board of directors, Kevin Padian), spectacular illustrations by Luis V. Rey, and Holtz's own enthusiastic and informative text. The jacket copy proclaims, "This is not your mother's dinosaur book.
The Sandwalk Adventures
Columbus, OH: Active Synapse, 2002. 159 pages.
A delightful graphic novel, in which Charles Darwin himself explains the rudiments of deep time, common ancestry, and natural selection to Mara, a winsome befreckled adolescent who just happens to live in Darwin's left eyebrow — she is, after all, a follicle mite.

On the other hand, sporting goods and hobby stores saw strong sales, with growth of 2.3% on top of 0.6% growth in October and up 12.3% year over year. Autos, appliances Furniture and sporting goods are all areas where consumers can very easily put off buying if they are worried about the future. The mixed bag of results for the month in these discretionary categories is thus giving no clear signal about the overall tone of the economy.
Sales in the building materials and garden center stores like Home D (HD) were down 0.1% on the month, after rising 3.3% in October and are up 12.3% from a year ago. Given how weak the construction industry has been, up 12.3% from a year ago is a very strong showing. But then again, a year ago things were pretty depressed. It may also be that people are spending more to spruce up their existing place, rather than move into new homes.
The one discretionary area that did show some rebound was in clothing stores like The Gap (GPS), where sales were up 2.7% on top of a 1.2% rise in October. Relative to a year ago they are up 3.5%. A new pair of jeans is a bit less discretionary than a new kitchen table, but more discretionary than going to the grocery store. Colder weather might have also played a role in the strong showing for the month.
Going out to eat and drink is also a very discretionary item, and sales at bars and restaurants were up 0.1%, down from a 0.5% rise in October, and are up 3.9% year over year.
The Take-Away: Encouraging ReportOverall this is a encouraging report, especially considering the sharp upward revisions to last month's numbers. The strength was a bit less broad-based than last month, when eleven of the store types were up and just two down, but still, eight to five is not all bad. It shows that despite what we have seen in the consumer confidence surveys, that consumers are actually acting much more confidently, and are starting to buy some of the big ticket discretionary type items.

Federal Agent Robert Mazur spent five years undercover as a money launderer to the international underworld, gaining access to the zenith of a criminal hierarchy safeguarded by a circle of dirty bankers and businessmen who quietly shape power across the globe. These men and women control multibillion-dollar drug-trafficking empires, running their organizations like public companies. Accountants, attorneys, and financial advisors, their roots run deep in their communities, and they are laundering billions of dollars a year, manipulating complex international finance systems to serve drug lords, corrupt politicians, tax cheats, and terrorists. In 1987, Mazur began infiltrating BCCI, bankers behind the Medellín cartel. He meticulously gathered evidence for years until, during a fake wedding, federal agents arrested over 40 high-ranking criminals, who were all found guilty and sent to prison. Never before told, this is the incredible, true story of how he did it.
Robert Mazur served for 27 years as a federal special agent for the IRS, the Customs Service, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Now the president of Chase and Associates, an agency that advises law firms and public companies on banking protocols and risk assessment, he lives in Florida with his family.

Joel: "I drank furniture polish It looked tastier than bleach."
Author Hank Bordowitz published a new book entitled, "Billy Joel: The Life & Times of an Angry Young Man", where he claims the singer had battled many years with depression and alcoholism.
In the book, Joel apparently confessed: "I drank furniture polish It looked tastier than bleach."
Ironic, Joel was saved by the same man he betrayed, his drummer Jon Small, who rushed him to the hospital where he was submitted to a psychiatric ward and put on suicide watch. The singer left a suicidal note, which later became the lyrics to "Tomorrow Is Today".
Joel entered the Betty Ford Center in March of 2005, for treatment of alcohol abuse, after what his publicist called "a recent bout of severe gastrointestinal distress". He checked out of the center in April of 2005.
A friend who saw Joel after he has checked out said that Billy has completely sworn off all alcohol. Joel had been treated previously for alcohol abuse in 2002, when he spent two weeks at Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut.

I still see testing being online in 5 years time. This ICT test style might have fallen, but I expect they will come up with something else to take its place
Well lets ask then the question what next now the statutory requirement of ict sats has been scrapped what next for future of exams being that ks3 sats was start of larger process of making exams online.
do we need to move exams to be online or not what and how do you see testing in 5 years time.
I still see testing being online in 5 years time. This ICT test style might have fallen, but I expect they will come up with something else to take its place
well seems like all my panic this morning may have been for nothing
Online testing and examination is definitely the way forward especially for those 'hard facts' subjects such as maths. It would reduce the error rate during the marking process.
Online tests for subjective material may take longer, but there is no reason why it shouldn't happen provided that it is planned properly and uses an interface which is universally recognisable.
There is a danger that online examinations will end up a multi-choice only option or put through a scanner to pick out key words, which may or may not indicate that a subject is learnt and fully understood.
Yes online is the future - but not until it has been planned in consultation with users first.
What's wrong with muilti-choice web-based exams? Cross-platform and easy to implement!
As long as its not something like....
Maggie is 12 years old, which we shall call A, Michael is 3 years older. How would you write Michaels age in algebra form.
B - Chris Tarrant
C - Chocolate Dumplings
D - Down at the bottom of the garden
Though that would probably be the A-Level version of the question, the GCSE one would probably be "Write your name, if you spell it right you get an A*"
I agree, online *web based* testing is the way forward - just the way this last lot was implemented was the problem.
Nothing really until you get to a psychology exam or you have to explain a theory in science or discuss a poem or book in literature.Originally Posted by webman
However MFL oral exams online would be an achievement
Our students would still score lowly, even with those options!
Alan: Well, textareas for more in-depth explanations. Heck, even a Flash-based testing routine would be a start!
Very funny had me laughing, and I would say that is true of my school as well but then thought that with multiple choice the teachers can coach the kids to pass an exam without actually knowing the answers!Originally Posted by ChrisC
I know what you are saying - I was thinking more of the marking being automatedOriginally Posted by webman
I know what you are saying - I was thinking more of the marking being automatedOriginally Posted by webman
All they have to do in that case is to check if certain words related to that question are located in the answer; and pptionally deduct points if it doesn't pass a spellcheck
Can we have a definition of what is meant by online testing? Will it be internet, LAN, or downloaded to individual machines?

It irks me to think that people believe that elephants... and animals in general... feel no empathy for others of its kind and even outside of it's species Humans are the least empathetic I feel after reading this and after watching other animals care for their kind like they do.
Published February 21, 2014
Elephants, we all know, are in peril. We humans are waging what amounts to a war against them because they have something we want and cannot make on our own: ivory.
The West African country of Gabon holds most of Africa's remaining forest elephants. Their main stronghold, Minkebe National Park and its surrounding buffer zone, was home to an estimated 28,500 elephants in 2004. By 2012 the number had plummeted to about 7,000—a loss of 20,000 or more elephants.
People are shooting, poisoning, and spearing the animals at such a rate across the continent that some scientists already consider them "ecologically extinct." There are now fewer than 500,000 wild African elephants—maybe no more than half that number—and barely 32,000 Asian elephants.
They cannot fight against us; they cannot win this battle.
And the horror of what is happening to them is surely compounded in their minds by the empathy they feel for one another—an emotion that scientists have at last been able to demonstrate experimentally in elephants.
Elephant Empathy: One Example After Another
But why did it take an experiment? Research on elephants is full of examples of the animals apparently behaving empathetically—recognizing and responding to another elephant's pain or problem. Often, they even make heroic efforts to assist one another.
In Kenya, researchers have watched mother elephants and other adult females help baby elephants climb up muddy banks and out of holes, find a safe path into a swamp, or break through electrified fences.
Scientists have spotted elephants assisting others that are injured, plucking out tranquilizing darts from their fellows, and spraying dust on others' wounds.
And on at least one occasion, researchers have watched an elephant struggle to help a dying friend, lifting her with her tusks and trunk, while calling out in distress.
Aren't such accounts sufficient for scientists to say unequivocally that elephants, like us, are empathetic beings?
Sadly, no. For various reasons—some scientific, some philosophical, some religious, some economic—we have set the bar exceedingly high for recognizing emotions (other than anger and fear) in other animals.
Saying absolutely that elephants (or other animals) are empathetic requires an experiment, something that is difficult to do in the wild. Experiments mean that these are not chance observations—the results are repeatable.
To show that elephants experience the same emotions another is feeling, scientists watched captive Asian elephants in a park in Thailand. They noted when one elephant was upset by something, such as by a snake in the grass, and they recorded her behaviors to see if there was a pattern.
There was. In response to a stressful event, an elephant flares out her ears, erects her tail, and sometimes makes a low rumble. Scientists watching elephants in the wild have reported the same behaviors. (See "Surprise: Elephants Comfort Upset Friends.")
Emotional Contagion
Both in the wild and in this captive study, researchers have watched other, nearby elephants react to the other elephant's distress by acting in exactly the same way. Scientists call this emotional contagion.
The elephants also ran to stand beside their friend, touched her with their trunks to soothe her, and made soft chirping sounds. Sometimes one would even put her trunk inside the other's mouth, a behavior elephants find particularly comforting, the researchers say.
We do something very similar when watching a scary movie with a friend. When the main character is threatened, we feel his fear. Our hearts race, we may tremble, and for reassurance, we reach for our friend's hand.
The researchers also recorded what the elephants did when they were in the same locations with their same friends nearby, but nothing stressful occurred. In those moments, none of the elephants acted in an empathetic way.
By comparing the two types of events—stressful versus nonstressful—the scientists were able to say that "emotional contagion" occurs only when an elephant sees another in distress.
Some scientists may still argue that this is not sufficient evidence for true empathy, that the experiment doesn't reveal what's going on in an elephant's mind when she rushes to aid a friend or worries over a dying companion.
But the fact that elephants make any effort at all on another elephant's behalf suggests that they are at the very least highly aware and emotional beings, concerned in some manner for each other.
Do They Know We're Destroying Them?
We cannot know for certain if African elephants know that they're under attack, that we're wiping them out across the continent. There are few, if any, survivors from most poaching events, and those that do make it can't tell us of their trauma. We'll never know what elephants may have witnessed or heard in the forest while their friends and relatives in other families were being slaughtered.
We have some idea, though, because in South Africa in the late 20th century, wildlife officials authorized the killing of entire elephant families in some fenced parks, such as Kruger. The officials worried that if a fenced elephant population grew too large, the animals would consume all the vegetation—so they culled the elephants.
Somehow, other elephant families in the park knew this was happening. Perhaps it was the cries of terror as the animals were shot. Or perhaps those being killed were able to emit low rumbles that carried the news for miles.
Immediately after a culling operation—and even after rangers cleaned up the area, removing all the bodies—other elephant families would come to the scene. They inspected the ground and smelled the earth, and then the visiting elephants left, never to return.
Observers say that even when the area where a culling took place was good habitat for elephants, the animals chose not to live there.
What happens now where poachers kill elephant families and herds? Do the animals, filled with empathy for what the others suffered, come to investigate the killing fields? Do they abandon those awful precincts forever?
Those studies have yet to be made. But in the meantime, can we put our empathy to use in finding a way to help the elephants? Can we put an end at last to the poaching?

Correction: An earlier version of this piece incorrectly stated that Gabon has lost more than half its elephants—11,000—in the last ten years. It is known with a high degree of confidence that in a recent eight-year period, the loss in just one Gabon park approximated 20,000 elephants.
wow, that's really sad =(
Really, elephant's are empathetic, and it takes science to discover this? wonderful, great.,and I am being more than sarcastic here.It is known as fact that they are empathetic animals, and that we are not! Read the true stories, look at the photographs of these beautiful animals and their behaviour, to simply KNOW for sure. Then to look at some humans behaviour patterns and again to know for sure, that we do not measure up,no way....... j.e.s.
I do not agree with the title of this article. Based on our daily treatment toward all non-human organisms, the human race has proven that we are NOT "empathetic beings."
I watched this documentary once about elephants that followed one family group. During that time a baby was born that was crippled and could only walk on its knees because its front legs wouldn't straighten out. Its whole family stayed with it, They kept encouraging it, caring for it. They just would not abandon that crippled baby for anything. I was just bawling through the whole thing. And then somehow, the baby's legs straightened out and it went on to live a normal life. Words just can't describe how sick I feel when I think of any elephant being killed much more that they are actually being wiped out as I type.
I have seen a herd of elephants surrounded a dying elephant and "crying" in a zoo.
I felt so touched when I saw that scene.
Animals have feelings too, no doubt.
Here we are questioning on whether these elephants can exercises empathy, why don't we cast the first stone to save them from extinction.
Why should the science try to appease all scientists who wants facts demonstrated their way to accepts the facts. All we need to be concerned is how to provide better conditions for the animals.
Elephants so far survived in Africa and Asia since people lived in harmony with fellow beings in nature. Now the greed for money makes people do all sort of illegal things.
Also due to emotionless chinese people/government who support massive illegal elephant an tiger poaching for their tusks and skin is fueling the illegal trade.
99% of the poached tiger skin and Rhino horns are smuggled into China with the help of China government.
It seems ridiculous for us to keep asking this same question. Anyone with half a brain can see they are of course empathetic. All large brain mammals are. It is well documented. My questions is, are there definitive steps that we can take to assist these creatures? If so please post a link for us to follow. Thanks for you concern and consideration.
People have you gone insane!? I have been to Africa many times exploring elephants and their killers and if I have learned one thing during my studies, its that elephants are among the dumbest creatures on earth. They suck water in through their noses for crying out loud! WHY NOT JUST USE YOUR MOUTH? I swear, if elephants expect to stay around for much longer then they need to brighten up. I have written a book entitled "pros and cons of killing elephants" I encourage you to read it. In it lies all the secrets of elephants. You will soon realize why elephants are so dumb.
A fabulous book regarding this subject is "The elephant Whisperer" by Lawrence Anthony. Mr. Anthony owns a reserve named Thula Thula in the heart of Zuzuland. I couldn't put it down.
I, too, have witnessed, empathetic behavior among captive elephants. At the Elephant Nature Park, in Chang Mai, Thailand there is evidence of this every single hour of every single day. During our elephant walk in which we walk deeper into the park and observe elephants being elephants, one female in a group of 3 approached us for some bananas. Once she saw one of the park dogs walking with us, she backed up and chirped. Her friend, who was over 200 feet away, came running over. Her friend stood between her and the dog and proceeded to aggressively thump her trunk on the ground until the dog, who very friendly in nature, walked off in another direction. On another occasion, a helicopter flew over the park which created much trumpeting and roaring among the elephants. Standing close to the edge of the observation/feeding platform, I saw 2 elephants who were several feet apart, huddle side by side. One was making soft chirping noises, the other was caressing her friend's face with her trunk and often times placed her trunk in her friends mouth. And yet on another occasion, we witnessed two 2 year old calves playing about 30 feet from the family group. One chirp from a calf was all it took for the entire family to come running, not walking, running, toward the calves and create a circular barrier around the calves. We could not even see the calves. As a day visitor, I am not sure that I would have witnessed enough of these types of interactions. But as a 2 week volunteer, the evidence was concrete. Elephants are empathetic, sentient beings.
The elephants have much to teach us. It will be a loss of immeasurable dimensions to loose these gentle creatures. I love them so much my husband keeps telling me I cannot have one in the backyard no matter how much that love is.
I'm not sure about the 'like us' part. Are WE
An important article.., indeed I´m sure that the adquisition of the concius in evolution is a fact i spite of science methods didný find a way to demostrate..,I have a lot of personal experiences with different animals that reveals this self-awareness..,

Quran 006:38
It is emotionally and spiritually painful for me to read this article knowing that what is stated here is true. I cannot imagine a world without these unique life forms in it. What makes life so wonderful for me is the diversity of our world and all its inhabitants.Each one weaves a beautiful web of life. I am glad that most of my life has been lived so I won't be around to see the end, but I ache for my daughter and granddaughter and the generations after them who won't know what real treasures they have lost....profoundly sad and truly disheartening.
I too feel like the pedantism of ethology is only "proving" what's been obvious for a very long time: that elephants are very intelligent and empathic creatures, feeling emotions etc. etc.
But saying "we", "scientists" are bad practices of scientific journalism because science isn't a hivemind and a study only reflects the authors' thoughts. That a team of two or three pedantic scientists felt that yet another "rigorous" demonstration that elephants do feel empathy was needed doesn't put every other living scientist on their line of thinking.
It saddens me knowing that rinosaurus, elephants & tigers, among other animals are being slaughtered everyday just to fulfill the demand that generates from China. Poachers are being paid for doing what they're hired to do. If the poachers can be compensated without destroying these animals, would that be the solution? Probably just a temporary measure. Ultimately, the solution is to stop the demand. Hopefully education will lead towards the destruction of demand.
"For various reasons—some scientific, some philosophical, some religious, some economic—we have set the bar exceedingly high for recognizing emotions (other than anger and fear) in other animals."
We study these traits in other races of animals in
order, I think, to better understand ourselves. Why don't we more easily
respond to emotions in other people? Why do we only seem to act
empathetically when there is a crisis?
Will we ever learn to acknowledge and value the sentience of other animal races the way we have for other human races?
Despite some understanding of why some poachers do what they do, as (admittedly) a distant westerner, I'd be really happy with a shoot-to-kill policy on poachers.
I sincerely hope that one day we will start to realise the truly dreadful evil we wreak upon our fellow creatures. The tragedy is nearly overwhelming. On the whole, our species is a cancer upon the planet. Fortunately some of us have a degree of empathy and at least try to do our best not to be part of it.
Love this article
That's just too sad
This unacceptable decimation of all animals of every species is happening throughout the world. I am sorry but I have to disagree with scientific study that says animals are incapable of empathy and emotion. Animals have enriched the lives of humans and give unconditional love. What would the blind do without their dogs, and those that sniff out cancer, and those that are used to save drowning victims; the list goes on and on. Animals have given more to humans than we have given to them, we kill them for profit and to make our lives more comfortable when they get in our way. We will indeed have to give an account to The Creator who created humans and put them in charge of His animals!
Was watching the Giving Tree and then read this- I may have been crying at some parts. All things are created equal-
"With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things" ~Kipling
We are valuing the wrong things in this world. :-(
Perhaps they should put all the poachers tied to stakes either on the floor or upright in a pen with a heard of elephants with no weapons & see if they can defend themselves
You shouldn't just pinpoint all, "Chinese-people" as emotionless. I am Chinese, and I definitely do not support taking elephant and tiger's tusks and skin!
@Trina Vaughn Thanks for writing, Trina. That's an excellent question. I'm away from my office for a few days, so don't have access to all my files. But you might look at the Amboseli Trust for Elephants; also Voices for Elephants. @VirginiaMorell
@Jacob Stephens You're not funny - you're just a dick!
@Jacob Stephens I know you're a troll but I do need to point out that they DO use their mouths, the trunk acts as a straw. They suck up the water into their trunk, then place their trunk into their mouth and release the water into their mouth. Which you would know if you ever actually spent any time around them. Troll a little harder next time.
Also, they drink with their nose instead putting their head in the water to drink water because when they drink with their nose they get to look their surrounding for predators. At african you cant turn you back even when eating or drinking. You alway had to look around you for predators. All gotta say for you. Dumbest creature in the earth.
Hi, I'm 10 year old and smarter then you. You been exploring elephant for years and you don't know why they use their nose instead their mouth to drink water? Reason why they do because only way they can drink with their mouth if they get in the water or get down their knees which too much calories to spend and too much to risk since there are crocs in the water, but since they are too smart to know there are crocodile in the water, they will carefully use their long nose to drink. they know croc take the advantage in the water than land. Also, they spend too much calories to get down their knees to drink water with their mouth so they use their long nose as a straw.
Elephant can live 60-70 years on the wild bare naked and with no technology on the toughest environment. Can you live 60 years bare naked and bare handed without technology on africa? Can you survive on the wild with no technology? You don't know what is eatable or not since you are the dumbest creature in the world. You depend on smart human and technology to survive. You depend on your job and money to pay other so you will be able to survive. You aint smart as you think. You are dumb. You can bring human friend make a herd on africa and see how long you and they can survive naked and with no technology. Once, Christian say we arent animals and animal have no souls. Animal means organism the eat and poop. Do we eat and poop? Oh no i have no soul.
@Jacob Stephens People like you are the reason the world burns...
@Paulette Markwood Why would somebody whisper to elephants? Why couldn't you just talk to them? duhhhhh
@Sabine Zell Thanks, Sabine. These are wonderful examples! You're fortunate to have spent so much time with elephants. Thanks for sharing.
@Lauren Haupt Thanks, Lauren. Yes, I think we are empathetic beings -- or that we strive to be. The fact that you responded as you did tells me that you are a very empathetic person.
I have to agree with your idea here. It is difficult to call human beings, as a species, empathetic. The sheer amount of harm that we can and have caused in our history is astounding. We seem to destroy everything that we come in contact with. We kill animals, plants, each other, etc. and there is usually no reason for it other than greed or anger.
However, on an individual basis, I know that a lot of people do have the capacity for kindness and empathy. It is hard to say that people aren't empathetic beings because of all of the good that we also do. I mean, most of the people on this discussion board are feeling empathy for the elephants that are the subject of this article.
Just something to ponder.
People who do not believe will use a religion to justify their acts. In its purity, religion should help, not harm. Very few truly religious people exist. The purely religious people would never do something so detrimental and so, they are unjustly prejudiced and said that they are capable of doing such a horrible thing. What a horrible thing to hurt these beautiful creatures!
@Paul Matich Religion: written by humans for humans and interpreted by humans any way they choose - to justify whatever good or bad behaviour they have a leaning toward.
@Susan Scimeca I sympathize with your thoughts, Susan. But I'm also optimistic, and want to think that we humans will do better.. That we'll take on the hard task of stopping the trade in ivory -- all of it. I think that is the only way to stop the poaching and save the elephants. Like you, I cannot bear to think of the world our children and grandchildren may inherit if we don't.
@Rebekah Hollenberg Excellent questions, Rebekah. I take heart from the fact that you and others are asking these questions.
@Marcella Gelardi Thank you, Marcella.
@Irene TiedtI agree in the main but science has, by its very nature, to be coldly logical. It needs data, testing and verification to express an opinion before it can reach a rational, working truth. In the context of this article "scientists" aren't saying it's not there, they're simply saying they haven't the requisite standard of proof.
Ironically, if you approach this from an emotional and empathic point of view you will tend to feel in conflict with science... For my own part, I empathise and have empathised with numerous animals so I 'know' myself that we share many 'bands' of our awareness with them - but I accept that science would need more than that to go beyond speculation.I agree that we owe them a great debt and always our respect as fellow creatures, whatever the situation. Us considering ourselves separate from them though is part of the problem - we were not "put in charge of them", we are just part of the same biosystem but it turns out that our particular evolutionary adaptation (intelligence) has moved things on a bit quick and we are not currently 'in harmony' with nature, stupid smartarse monkeys that we are.
@Irene Tiedt To play devil's advocate--it isn't that science says animals are incapable of empathy. Just that we cannot scientifically prove it. How can we prove emotion? Many of these behaviors can be explained as group survival instincts.
But, our reaction should not depend on whether or not we can prove elephants or any other creature has empathy. Because we claim to. Maybe scientists should re-examine whether humans actually have this, or if it is something we made up to try to set us above other animals.
@Kassandra Earls And I have tears in my eyes, reading this. Thank you, Kassandra.
@Manny Lugo Love your Reply!!
@Jacob Stephens and there you go again - proving you're a dick!

Ref numbers
We are currently building a system where a user can submit a request and is given an automated ref number ie 1001 (we are using identity in sql to auto generate the ref number). If that request gets rejected a user can resubmit the request by entering their ref number which will bring up their previous request, amend it and submit it again however when they submit it it adds an a, b, c etc to the end of the request ie 1001a. We have created a separate table in the db to hold the re-submitted requests so as not to overwrite the previous requests and so it doesn't autogenerate a new number when another row is added to the table and so we can hold the alphanumeric characters.
Is this the right way to go about it? Can anyone give us an idea on how to add the alphanumeric character to the end of the ref number?
Many thanks

Do a select count of all the requests with the same ref number.
If you have 4, the next one will be 5. Use the 5th letter of the alfabet.
But what happens when the 27th amendment happens?

Schoolwires® Launches Website Makeover Contest To Showcase Impact Of Branded, Responsive Websites For K-12 School Districts
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. , Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- High on the wish list of many K-12 schools is a high-performing, responsive website that can help strengthen their brand, connect with their communities and meet the growing demand for mobile access.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. , Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- High on the wish list of many K-12 schools is a high-performing, responsive website that can help strengthen their brand, connect with their communities and meet the growing demand for mobile access.
The contest is open to all public K-12 school districts in the U.S and runs from Feb. 1-April 5, 2013. The winner will be announced in early May.
"Schoolwires is thrilled to offer districts an opportunity to win a free website that meets their expectations and the communication habits of their communities," said Melissa Kalinowski, Vice President of Marketing at Schoolwires. "As technology evolves and more people seek access to information via tablets and smartphones, it's essential that districts provide websites that are responsive to mobile devices."
What makes an effective website? The ever-present and instant nature of technology has forever changed the way that school districts communicate and educate. At the core is the website. An effective website can drive enrollment, boost teacher recruitment and create a positive image in the community , said Bernie Rhinerson, Chief of Staff and District Relations at the San Diego Unified School District, a Schoolwires client." A poorly designed website can give the community a negative impression of a district, so it's critical that districts pay attention to content, the look of their websites, and the impact on their brand," he said. Today's school district website uses a "one-stop shopping" strategy, said Dr. Geoff Zoeller, Superintendent at Westwood Regional School District, which launched a new Schoolwires website in 2012. "A good website answers the public's questions through a vast amount of information in one resource, fulfills the public's need for transparency and fosters strategic partnerships." A successful district website also integrates third-party platforms, such as student information systems and grade books. Centricity2 is designed to seamlessly integrate with compatible applications to help districts make the most of their technology investment. Schoolwires is compatible with more than 100 different student information systems. For details on the website makeover contest or to enter, visit http://www.schoolwires.com/makeover . About Schoolwires Schoolwires, Inc. provides a suite of technology products and related services to more than 1,400 educational entities, including K-12 school districts and schools in the United States and China. The company's technologies are designed to foster community, student, teacher and parent engagement in the classroom, locally and internationally.

11 Shale, Tue, 30th Mar '10 12:14:25 AM from Int'l House of Mojo Relationship Status: You cannot grasp the true form
Mighty pirate!What strikes me about that deal is that Quake 3 and Quake 3 Team Arena, which are now open-source, normally cost $20 each.
12 goodtimesfreegrog, Tue, 30th Mar '10 12:39:52 AM from Darkmere
imokaywiththis.gifTechnically, their game engine is open-source - you still have to pay for the actual games' content. And if you don't feel like shilling out the twenty bucks, there's always Open Arena.
13 Shale, Tue, 30th Mar '10 12:46:40 AM from Int'l House of Mojo Relationship Status: You cannot grasp the true form
Mighty pirate!That's what I mean - with OpenArena, QuakeLive and the like floating around free of charge, how is Quake 3's market price that high?

gets mad about videogamesI suppose some might want to play with the Quake III community instead of the Quake Live one. I was interested when I saw the series pack, but then I read iD didn't feel like emulating the cd-rom so there's no music or FMV cutscenes for the first two games and theirs expansions.

GeeklingSteam = PC game only.
You purchase the game, then it added the game to your "Games List".
The list is split into two categories: Installed and Not Installed
Double-click an "Installed" game to start the game.
Double-click a "Not Installed" game to start the installation process. The game then downloads from the Steam servers and installs in the background while you can do other things on your PC.
When done, it becomes an "Installed" game. See above.
I like the Steam platform. Very simple and I don't have to worry about misplaced discs.

Deadline at Dawn
Time Out says'Golly, the misery that walks around in this pretty, quiet night!' murmurs Hayward's vibrant dance-hall dame, chasing round Manhattan trying to get her sailor pal off a murder rap. Golly, indeed, for the script by playwright Clifford Odets never lets up for a moment. Terse and flowery by turns, it elaborates the plot of Cornell Woolrich's novel almost to the point of incomprehension, yet movingly enhances the notion of New York as a fateful presence, teeming with the homeless and unhappy. Clurman, moonlighting in Hollywood after the collapse of his Group Theatre in New York, later dismissed it as just 'a run-of-the-mill RKO movie', but take no notice: it's made with cockeyed artistry from beginning to end, and shouldn't be missed.

The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche or Emperor Wilhelm Memorial Church is one of Berlin's most famous landmarks. The damaged tower is a symbol of Berlin's resolve to rebuild the city after the war and a constant reminder of the destruction of war.
The modern bell tower
& the damaged tower
& the damaged tower
The church is located on the Breitscheidplatz, the center of former West-Berlin. It is still the commercial center of Berlin, with the Ku'damm shopping street and Europa Center nearby.
Built between 1891 and 1895 by Kaiser Wilhelm II, the church was a symbol of Prussian unity and a mark of honor for his grandfather, Kaiser Wilhem I.
The neo-Romanesque structure was designed by the German architect Franz Schwechten. The building was unusually ornate for a protestant church. It was decorated with a large mosaic depicting the history of Prussia.
The neo-Romanesque structure was designed by the German architect Franz Schwechten. The building was unusually ornate for a protestant church. It was decorated with a large mosaic depicting the history of Prussia.
A new church
On the night of November 18, 1943 the church burned down after it was hit by an allied bomb; only the broken west tower of the church was still standing.
Inside the new church
Local opposition saved the structure - which had become known as the 'hollow tooth' - from demolition in the 1950s and in 1961 a new, octagonal church designed by Egon Eiermann was built alongside the existing tower. The church is a reinforced concrete structure with blue-colored glass bricks.
A freestanding hexagonal bell tower was constructed on the site of the former main nave of the destroyed church.
A third and small rectangular building is also part of the new complex.
Detail of the mosaic
Memorial Hall
Inside the remaining west tower of the destroyed church is a Gedenkhalle or Memorial Hall. It documents the history of the church and contains several of the original objects in the church as well as photos from before and after the bombing. Some of the mosaic decoration and reliefs that survived the bombing can also be seen.

Bad news. Channel 31 just reported a pretty good sized fire on the north-facing hillside east of Georgetown Lake.
That's the hill that the Silver Creek Trail is on. Oh crap.
