How Chickens Lost Their Penises (And Ducks Kept Theirs)
The penis is among the fastest evolving organs, with lots of variety. Most birds lost theirs.
Some ducks have helical penises that are longer than their entire bodies. But forget the helical shape, the size, and the surprisingly explosive extension—the weirdest thing about a duck's penis is that it has one. Most birds don't. There are almost 10,000 species of birds and only around 3 percent of them have a penis.
Chickens still have penises, but barely—they're tiny nubs that are no good for penetrating anything. In all of these species, males still fertilise a female's eggs by sending sperm into her body, but without any penetration. Instead, males and females just mush their genital openings together and he transfers sperm into her in a manoeuvre called the "cloacal kiss".
"Ornithologists have tied themselves in knots trying to explain why an organ that gives males an obvious selective advantage in so many different animal species disappeared in most birds. But it's hard to address a question on why something happens when you don't know much about how it happens."
It never develops a full-blown penis because, at a certain point, its cells start committing mass suicide. This type of 'programmed cell death' occurs throughout the living world and helps to carve away unwanted body parts—for example, our hands have fingers because the cells between them die when we're embryos. For the chicken, it means no penis. "It was surprising to learn that outgrowth fails not due to absence of a critical growth factor, but due to presence of a cell death factor," says Cohn.
... it's entirely possible for a chicken to grow a penis; it's just that Bmp4 stops this from happening. Conversely, adding extra Bmp protein to a duck tubercle could stop it from growing into its full spiralling glory, forever fixing it as a chicken-esque stub.
Bmp proteins help to control the shape and size of many body parts. They're behind the loss of wings in soldier ants and teeth of birds. Meanwhile, bats blocked these proteins to expand the membranes between their fingers and evolve wings.
... getting rid of the proteins that keep Bmp in check leads to tiny penises. Conversely, getting rid of the Bmp proteins leads to a grossly enlarged (and almost tumour-like) penis.
We now know how chickens lost their penises, but we don't know why a male animal that needs to put sperm inside a female would lose the organ that makes this possible. Cohn's study hints at one possibility—it could just be a side effect of other bodily changes. Bmp4 and other related proteins are involved in the evolution of many bird body parts, including the transition from scales to feathers, the loss of teeth, and variations in beak size. Perhaps one of these transformations changed the way Bmp4 is used in the genitals and led to shrinking penises.
There are many other possible explanations. Maybe a penis-less bird finds it easier to fly, runs a smaller risk of passing on sexually-transmitted infections, or is better at avoiding predators because he mates more quickly ....
Females might even be responsible. Male ducks often force themselves upon their females but birds without an obvious phallus can't do that. They need the female's cooperation in order to mate. So perhaps females started preferring males with smaller penises, so that they could exert more choice over whom fathered their chicks. (Indeed, the now-infamous story about the duck's corkscrew penis is really a story about the duck's corkscrew vagina.) Combinations of these explanations may be right, and different answers may apply to different groups.

How To Get Ahead with Your Business
Would you be interested in learning from a man who spent 20 years of his life interviewing the 500 richest men in America with the purpose of developing a system of super achievement?
As an ambitious and open-minded trainer/coach, I will take the freedom to assume your answer is yes.
The man is Napoleon Hill, acclaimed author of numerous books on selling and personal achievement.
"You get ahead in life by helping others to get ahead," is one of Hill's main rules.
To us, as trainers/coaches, the obvious meaning is that we are successful to the extent we help our clients to be successful.
To help your clients succeed, treat them as INDIVIDUALS, with UNIQUE needs.
3 sets of 10 on a pre-made program sheet and 20 minutes on the treadmill is the way of the past.
The trainer of the future has the skills to start each programming process from a CLEAN SLATE and create a program that EXACTLY matches the needs of the client/athlete in front of him/her.
Below is an excerpt from my soon-to-be-available book "The Flexible Periodization Method" that will teach you how to create truly individual training programs.
"A very practical challenge that faces the trainer/coach is matching type 2 goals with the available training time, as well as constructing weekly schedules with a variety of total workouts.
The main steps in that process are:
- Determine type 1 and type 2 goals.
- Determine training time available and/or training time needed (number and duration of workouts).
Proceed in the following algorithm:
A: If the selected goals match the training time available, proceed to decide upon the exact workout structure.
B: If the selected goals do not match the training time available, reduce the number of goals or increase the training time. Then proceed with step A.
Regarding training time available and training time needed, the trainer coach will be constrained by or have to construct a weekly schedule with a different number of workouts.
In order to determine whether the selected goals match the training time available, knowledge about number of exercises, training frequencies, training volumes, intensities and rest periods is required to determine the total time, on a weekly basis, needed to stimulate a specific goal.
To your success,
Karsten Jensen
PS: Make sure to read our blogs and newsletters to be alerted when The Flexible Periodization Method - How to Create Long-term Training Plans for clients/athletes of any level becomes available.
PPS: A great Napoleon Hill product is "Selling You". In "Selling You" he teaches you how to thrive with your business in any situation. One of his strategies was instrumental in helping me achieve a skill level that allowed me to successfully help professional athletes from 8 different sports.

Hey again, I just found (and bought out) the last stock of Set 6 of a local store while on a trip, got 20 packs, and now that I have some cards to work with I got a few questions for those of you more experienced than I (you guys are awsome)
1. Do Luxord and Demyx play like axel and Xaldin, in that they can play any Nobodies and Organization members as friends?
2. Does Demyx's skill "Water Dance" use up a counter on his Sitar or is it a free once-per-turn skill?
3. Does Luxord's "Gamble" skill happen every turn or can you choose to not use it?
4. The Gambler Nobody allows the use of Gamble twice...so does that mean you reveal the same cards again before drawing?
5. Does Way to the Dawn's second ability to negate HP-increasing cards include Tinkerbell as well, or only Cure/Cura/Curaga?
Thanks for the help!
And BTW you wouldn't believe how happy I was when I pulled the WttD. That was the number 1 card I wanted from this set and I had forgotten theres only 5 cards per pack with no assurance of a rare :S
Happy gaming!

Ibis Ripley
Small-batch builders Ibis introduced what might be the most anticipated 29er this year: the Ripley. The 120mm bike has a carbon frame and uses the proven DW-Link suspension platform, but with a twist. Instead of standard linkages, the Ripley features two eccentric pivots located just above the bottom bracket. While the eccentrics work just like standard linkages, they weigh 100 grams less and take up less space on the bike. According to Ibis's Tom Morgan, the Ripley has a firm pedaling platform, but still rolls smoothly over small bumps. The bike has relatively short 17.5-inch chainstays, a 71-degree headtube that is 100mm tall (on a size large frame) and a projected frame weight of 4.5 pounds with shock. Ibis has yet to set a price, or delivery date, but expect it to cost about $2,500 and show up sometime around next spring.
For 2012, SRAM completely overhauled its budget-priced X5 group, boosting its performance while keeping cost low. The group now comes with the same collection of chainring options as its more expensive brethren, including all the 2x10 iterations: 22-36, 24-38, 36-39 and 28-43. It also is available in a 3x10 version with 22-34-44 chainrings. In addition to medium and long-cage derailleurs, a short-cage version is available, which could make an economical option for downhillers. Like the more expensive XO, it has SRAM's Exact Actuation shifting, which offers a solid shift-paddle feel, with crisp gear changes. The group comes with Avid Elixir 1 brakes, but no matchmaker is available. Expect to see the group show up on plenty of mid-level bikes next season.
Salsa Horsethief
Building off the runaway success of the brand's 100mm Spearfish 29er, Salsa developed the Horsethief, which has 120mm of rear-wheel travel. The bike uses the same flex stay suspension design as the Spearfish—essentially a modified single-pivot platform with seatstays that flex up to 5.4mm eliminating the need for a pivot at the rear axle. The head angle is 69.5 degrees, but the bike is built accommodate up to a 140mm fork, which would slacken the front end to 68.6 degrees. Features include a tapered headtube and 142x12 rear axle. The bike should be available early next year and cost $2,500 complete, or $1,400 for a frame and Fox RP2 rear shock.
Fox Smart Suspension Pump
The Smart Suspension Pump is one of the first products to emerge from Fox's Intelligent Ride Dynamics program—a new products skunk works within the company. The functional, but still conceptual, device sends air pressure data to a smart phone or Garmin Edge 800. There, an algorithm based on rider weight and the specific product being setting up, calculates the sag and rebound damping force. The pump them guides users to the perfect sag and rebound settings.
Topeak Link Meister
Topeak is entering the world of shop-quality tools with this $150 chain tool. The company claims it's compatible with every chain on the market and is designed to make assembling today's thinner and higher precision chains more foolproof, which will result in better chain durability. The rebuildable tool has a number of features to grab, hold and align the chain for easy assembly.
Circulus Velodrome
Rapha cyclocross racer Jeremy Powers gets a warmup for Wednesday's CrossVegas showdown with former Cyclocrossworld.com teammate Tim Johnson with a best-of-three match on the Circulus velodrome. After splitting one heat each, J-Pow was in great shape until he nearly high-sided off the top of the track.
Look X85
Disc-equipped cyclocross bikes are still very much a work in progress. But Look showed this intriguing model, built around a set of Easton's EC90XC 29er carbon mountain bike wheels. Shod with Vittoria XM 32mm tires, the setup also featured Avid BB-7 mechanical disc brakes and looks remarkably finished.
Schwalbe Racing Ralph
Schwalbe revamped its Racing Ralph for 2012 with a new knob arrangement that offers a more consistent feel while transitioning from the center knobs to the side tread. A more supple 127 TPI casing replaces the old 67 TPI design, which allows its engineers to utilize a shorter knob height yet keep the same amount of traction. The overall result is a tire that Schwalbe says has 20 percent less rolling resistance and weighs 30 grams less than its predecessor. It'll be available this fall in 26-inch and 29-inch sizes, including tubulars.
White Brothers Snowpack
White Brothers developed this fork in conjunction with Chain Reaction Cycles in Anchorage Alaska for fat bikes. It uses the same carbon legs as its Rock Solid but features dropout spacing and brake mounts for a 135mm wide rear hub. Or one could utilize a Paul's Components-style 135 front hub and use White Brother's disc adaptor for standard front brake spacing as pictured. The fork is available now in 468 and 450mm lengths for $445.

We Don't Need No Stinkin' Punxsutawney
Around these parts, we don't devote much time or attention to the Groundhog Day celebration that seems to fascinate the rest of the nation.
Nope, we devote our time and attention to a movie about Groundhog Day that fascinates us.
The Hollywood Of Northern Illinois
Hereabouts we take pride in, promote, and celebrate the fact that Groundhog Day, a pretty darn good 1993 movie1 that supposedly took place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the ostensible residence of one Punxsutawney Phil,2 that mythical Marmota monax specimen that plays the leading role in a pseudo-holiday based on folklore which doesn't even make sense,3 was actually filmed in Woodstock, Illinois (10 minutes down the road from Heck Of A House, my current location).
For the three folks who haven't seen this flick, Bill Murray plays an obnoxious TV weatherman who, covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, re-lives the same day over and over and over again, eventually transforming from a hedonistic, self-important jerk into a heck of a guy worthy of Rita's (Andie MacDowell's) love.
Celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate, …
Here in northern Illinois, we've been celebrating everything about the movie version of Groundhog Day ever since.
We even have our own official Groundhog Day groundhog, Woodstock Willie, who, of course, pushes the hot sauce named after him.
It is not clear to me why one would intuitively respond to a hot sauce named after a groundhog with the thought, "Got to get me some of that," but then I'm an aficionado of neither hot sauces or small varmints.
A few years ago, there was been a new twist in this beloved local event that I reported to my correspondents thusly,
According to the local newspaper, The Northwest Herald, Woodstock Willie, our very own ersatz Punxsutawney Phil, has gone Hollywood on us — figuratively; geographically, he has actually gone New York on us. Rather than star in Woodstock's Groundhog Day celebration, Willie has opted for the big time — a guest appearance on the Today show in New York. Before we go further, let me assuage your anxieties; the Woodstock festivities will go on; that fair city's Celebration Committee has received an offer from "Samantha's Amazing Animals," which The Herald describes as "a private educational zoo and animal rental agency," to hire out their resident groundhog, one "Warner" by name, for the modest cost of "three oatmeal raisin cookies." One of the committee members is, in fact, enthusiastic: "He sounds delightful. He even wears hats. Maybe we can dress him up with one of our derbies." Warner, for his part, is said to be "very excited about it" and has "promised he'll be on his best behavior."
I am, however, apprehensive about Willie. Oh, nibbling snacks in the Green Room on the Today show is well and good, a treat our local star no doubt deserves. And, as the inevitable choice to serve as substitute host for Letterman, he'll enjoy some deserved fame. But then it's the old story. A star is discovered, feted, and then discarded as soon as the next pretty groundhog comes along. I fear that Willie will go from Big Mammal On Campus to a Little Vertebrate In A Big Pond.
The next gig Willie gets is a WB network version of Montel; then he's turned down for that cameo in "Lethal Weapon 6.082;" and Hollywood Squares honors their commitment for a week's work but places Willie in the lower middle box that no contestant ever tries to claim. He gets tossed off the set of the Made for TV Movie, "The Horse Whispers: Fury Loves Flicka" after his co-star, Dennis Rodman, complains of Willie's increasingly unprofessional behavior.
Pretty soon, Willie is wandering Times Square undercutting medical students to serve as a paid volunteer for preliminary clinical trials of combination weight loss—genital enhancement—wrinkle reduction potions and hawking weather predictions purloined from Al Roker's previous day's forecasts to raise cash to buy cheap varmint snuff porno and the occasional past-due date bags of Purina Groundhog Chow.
His letters to Bill Murray begging him to finance Willie's latest scheme to get back on screen, this time as producer, host, and star of the Fox Network's newest reality show, "America's Most Violent Videos Involving Groundhogs and Machines Pulled by Farm Tractors," go, of course, unanswered. And pity for a fellow mammal precludes my full description of the humiliation and pain heaped upon Willie as the result of his brief gig as a celebrity impersonator (little more than a blatant attempt to cash in on the popularity of his namesake, Willie Nelson), which was brought to a violent end when Waylon Jennings, finding himself, as the result of a clerical error, paired in the headline act of the Tulsa State Fair not with his Outlaw musical colleague, the worthy Mr. Nelson, but with McHenry Country's once proud featured creature, took umbrage into his own hands, pounding Willie into a reasonable facsimile of this metaphor's pulp.
Yep, drugs, dames, and destitution have done in (you would think) more than one good-looking, fast-predicting Illinois groundhog who bravely ventured into New York. Belonging to a nocturnal species does not guarantee one will thrive in the city that never sleeps.
- According to Wikipedia, The film is number thirty-four on the American Film Institute's list of 100 Funniest Movies, and Roger Ebert has revisited it in his "Great Movies" series. This film is number 32 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies." In Total Film's 1990s special issue, Groundhog Day was deemed the best film of 1993.In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted it the seventh greatest comedy film of all time. As of January 2007, it was number 168 on the Top 250 Movies of all time, as rated by members of the Internet Movie Database, with an 8.0 rating out of 10. No so shabby. [↩]
- A groundhog living in the a town that has the same name – What are the chances of that? [↩]
- It's an early spring if it's a cloudy day so the groundhog does not see its shadow or it's six more weeks of winter if the groundhog does see its shadow because that day is sunny? [↩]

By John H. Richardson
I think originally the Constitution permitted slavery -- it was up to each state to decide. Lincoln was actually very active on social policy in terms of the Homestead Act and land-grant policy, but I pretty much agree with Lincoln that each state could decide but Congress could prevent its spread to the territories, and that as the president he could prevent the country from coming apart, he could prevent secession -- and unless you have a robust view of presidential power, I dont see how else you get there. There are many people who are criticizing presidential power. I think theyd have a hard time explaining the Emancipation Proclamation or the steps Lincoln took the stop secession.
I never thought about that! Thats the difference between a constitutional lawyer and a political scientist. A political scientist will talk about maintaining coalitions and mobilizing. As a constitutional law person, I say it makes sense because the president can decide how to fight the war, and if the slaves are property and he sets them free, they become a support in the war.
In college I wrote my thesis on sharing nuclear weapons with the Europeans in the 1950s and 60s. It was a fairly specialized piece of presidential history -- I visited the presidential libraries, interviewed significant national security officials. Interviewed McGeorge Bundy, actually.
Eisenhower wanted to give nuclear weapons to the Germans, only ten years after the end of the war. He thought nuclear weapons were just weapons, and we gave them guns and tanks. Johnson finally killed it in 1965 or 66. It was a proposal that failed. A lot of people write about things that succeed, so I wrote about a thing that failed and why it failed.
I think the tradition in diplomatic history was to focus on the executive branch. Conventional histories then didnt look much at Congress. There was a funny story the Harvard Crimson did about me a few years ago: Even as an undergraduate John Yoo focuses on the president for his thesis. But that was just the standard approach.
It was a history class. I was trying to figure out why -- it was such a crazy idea. They wanted to give nuclear weapons to all the countries of NATO. I used it as a lens to understand American and European relations.
I was reading a history about nuclear strategy and there was a footnote about this, and I thought, This seems very strange. I found that there had been one book about it, a long time ago, so I did my thesis on it.
I think its fair to say that a lot of the histories I worked on were presidency-focused. And it still is today. You read about Vietnam and its all about Johnson and Nixon. You dont read a lot about Congress. The tradition of foreign policy inquiry is all about the president. So law school seemed odd, because I get to law school, and the people who teach international law and foreign affairs are constantly talking about Congress, like in class today: Congress has a right to declare war. And if you study what happens in history, its all about the president, and Congress are these isolationist bastards you have to convince to do the right thing. Im very much influenced by the criticism of the isolationist influence before World War II. And it seemed very strange to hear Congress did this and Congress did that, and if you had a background in history, Congress never has done that.
I agree with one of the other students who said, But thats just Congress not choosing to do it. He was very cynical about Congress. Congress just doesnt want to take responsibility for anything. Thats the difference between politics and law. The law says Congress has this power. They havent used it since the Vietnam War, but the Constitution doesnt force them to do it either. It becomes a question about politics. I have a lot of respect for the Congress, but they clearly want it both ways. They want to not take responsibility for the war, but they want to fund it. So if it goes well they say We funded it.
I meet the girl I marry as a junior. Shes on the Harvard newspaper too, thats where we met. Else Arnett. She did politics. The Harvard Crimson covers the New Hampshire primary so thats what she did. Her father was Peter Arnett, the famous Vietnam War correspondent. I had no idea who that was. I didnt really follow that. Shes very pretty and shes smart and we got along extremely well. We both were history majors, both worked on the paper.
Other than that, I dont think I had any unusual social life. But I didnt join a fraternity. Spent a lot of time studying.
Elses actually a New Zealand citizen, so she cant vote, but shed probably vote Democratic. Definitely not a conservative.
A little bit. But we dont argue that much any more cause we would argue all the time. Its not fun to be married to someone where you argue all the time.
I dont feel like I have very conventional political views. Like, I dont think of myself as a social conservative.
I gave a lot of thought to becoming a journalist. I was an intern at the Wall Street Journal under Al Hunt in the summer between college and law school. I gave that a lot of thought. It was very exciting. I had a great time. But there was something -- no offense, but there was something about journalism that was very ephemeral. You write the story and then its gone and nobody remembers it. The WSJ was the pinnacle of a journalism career and I saw a lot of people who were frustrated, trying to write books, to do other things than be daily newspaper reporter. It wasnt the life I wanted. It seemed like a young persons game. My wife became a daily journalist and was one for ten years, at the Knight Ridder papers -- Knight Ridder Florida papers, the KR Washington bureau, the San Jose Mercury News. But it was tough. You have to be willing to travel. You have no predictable schedule. I liked it, I think I was a good writer, but it wasnt right for me.
I certainly end up working for a lot of them. Their constitutional views are mostly consistent with mine, but I have very different views on how I would vote on policy. I really think of myself as a libertarian at heart. To me the constitution is a combination of libertarianism on most social questions and a very vigorous government when it comes to national security -- whereas I often think of many on the left as the exact opposite, they want a very vigorous government on social issues and very narrow, circumscribed government on foreign affairs. I have the opposite. In wartime, you want a strong government and a vigorous president, but on a daily basis I would rather have much broader rights.
But I still think they needed national standards on certain issues. To me the government struck that balance for a long time: you did have a government that was small most of the time and it would balloon out during crisis and then it would shrink back. I thought that was a pretty good system. I think it was really the New Deal and World War II that changed it: we have a standing army and a permanent welfare state.
Its constitutional, but I dont think its what the framers had in mind. I think they thought wed have primarily a defensive military. That gets back to my point about the powers of Congress. Congress has created this. Not just a permanent military, but an offensive military. Its not designed to protect the borders, its designed to invade other countries. I dont think its unconstitutional because the Constitution says Congress can create the military. But it would have been very surprising to the framers to see this established military of this size.
I was not very good at science. I was never interested in medicine.
Im sure they would have been happy if I had become a physician but I was never interested.
It doesnt sort of fit the profiles you read about: people who argue about politics at the dinner table from the time theyre five. I definitely didnt have that.
I was never intent on becoming an official. Or becoming a law professor, even. I guess when I was in college I also read some books about the Supreme Court. I read about justices and courts and thought that was interesting. It was amazing to me that we had this system where just a few number of people got to make a decision that affected everybody in the country and there was no election. I think I read The Brethren. Nine people got to decide abortion, got to decide criminal procedure, and there was never an election.
I went to Yale with the idea of becoming a professor at some point. I think it goes to being worried about the ephemeral nature of journalism. Attracted to the freedom of it -- the freedom of deciding what you wanted to write on -- and law was practical. My advisors said you shouldnt go to grad school in history, nobody gets jobs anymore. So it was a combination of what I liked and something practical.
I just thought it was extraordinary that theyre unelected and they get to make these kinds of decisions, whereas you read that in other countries and most other topics of American history you have an election to decide these kinds of questions. It was eye-opening.
In history classes you read about the Marshall court, the Dred Scott, Brown versus Board of Education, so it appears every now and then but you dont take courses consistently about the Supreme Court. So reading these books I wont say convinced me to go to law school, but I saw that and I said, Look, constitutional law in this country is extremely important. Its so powerful that, expressed in the Supreme Court, it can actually block what the majority of the people want. So I thought that I could go to law school and still have intellectual content. It wouldnt be just going to work for a law school. There were still some important questions.
So I went to law school and combined foreign affairs, history and constitutional law. They happen to come together in war powers, treaties, the stuff I write about.
I cant say its always a good thing. I think part of wanting to study it is how what a difference -- you live in a democracy but you have this system where five people, not nine people, five people on the supreme court can block them. As a scholar there -- judicial review exists, but there is no doubt the Supreme Court has the power to refuse to enforce federal laws. But Im not sure whether thats a good thing. It seems to me on many issues its not. On the abortion question, for example, even though I agree with the policy that Roe v. Wade reaches, it doesnt seem to me that its healthy for democracy to have the Supreme Court impose a solution on the whole country.

Review Essay Never Leave the Hub Through an Open Door. Always the Window Scott Magelssen John Troyer. [In John Troyer's Apartment]. Minnesota Fringe Theatre and Performance Festival, August 2001. We have been led by docents, a couple dozen of us
all together, up the stairs into a cramped and hot living room (it
is August), where we have
found various corners, chairs, or couches in which to awkwardly wait
for what happens next. It is a Bohemian Minneapolis apartment (if there
is such a thing), and we are here for a performance event entitled [In
John Troyer's Apartment], which is part of the 2001 Minnesota Fringe
Festival. This, however, is the only production not taking place in one
of the Fringe's handful of Minneapolis theatre spaces or public
coffee shops, and the difference is palpable. We don't know how
to behave. He awoke at 11:07am Central Standard Time . . . . He drank coffee from
a mug he stole from the Gunflint Lodge in Northern Minnesota. French
Roast. 300 coffee beans. Electric Grinder. He then drank a large glass
of water. He went to the bathroom . . . for several minutes . . . . All this serves to reaffirm our suspicions that everyday
life is boring in most cases, pathetic in others, but the intricate
detail nevertheless
draws our attention to the way that the world's dramatic literature,
especially realism, could not function without "editing" the
everyday—reducing it to its most unexpected or interesting moments,
and heightening them by putting them into grand themes: the struggle
of humankind, love in the face of obstacles, the degeneration of family.
In the world of [In John Troyer's Apartment], we perceive that
the protagonist is laid bare, unmediated by artistic themes, and unedited
by the hand of the playwright. Notes 1. See also Sharon Schmickle, Joy Powell, and Dee DePass, "Activists Check In as Forum Begins; Protester Complains, 'Police are Making it Ridiculous.'" Works Cited "Arts and Leisure Guide." New York Times

As many commentators have noted, oil has been staying close to the $50 mark for several weeks now. Inventory concerns, the US dollar and of course the big question of demand are all moving the price, but even swine flu fears haven't caused it to deviate for long.
These charts from Capital Economics show how much oil price volatility has come down, after spending much of the past seven months at very high levels.
Note how oil prices were much more volatile than other commodities. As the next chart shows, oil's volatility levels has quite a resemblance to that of equity markets.
As Schork Report wrote this morning: "oil markets moved higher because – you know why – because equities moved higher. Meantime, natty moved
lower because – you know why – because unlike oil, the price path in natural gas correlates to its fundamentals…
and not the stock market."
Government bonds by comparison have moved in a somewhat more episodic way.
On the plus side, price stability is generally considered a Good Thing from most perspectives: investment in future production of both fossil fuels and its alternatives requires some stability.
The downside however is that at the $50 level, there is little natural economic incentive to either invest in unconventional oil or in renewables.

Farsala 3: Forging the Sword
There isn't much time left in the Hrum's self-imposed limitonly a few months. If in that time they don't put down all of Farsala, then the Farsalans will regain their independence, and those previously taken into slavery will be returned to their homeland.
Ceaselessly, Soraya, Kavi, and Jiaan work to keep control of what little land remains free from Hrum rule: parts of the countryside, the badlands, and the walled city of Mazad. They have most of the peasantry, a small, untrained army, and the Suud helping them, but there is still one important piece missing: a sword that is able to withstand a blow from the Hrum's watersteel. They may be able to put off loss for a while without it, but in the end Farsala will fall if it can't win in battle.

If I can't find it in the stores (last year's edition) then I guess I will just have to wait until April. I didnt' preoder it because I want it NOW, NOW, NOW.

My son is in his first year of college. He received several different scholarships, got a Stafford Loan for some of tuition and a Sallie Mae loan for the remaining tuition. He does not start paying on loans until he graduates.So nothing has been paid on any loan. The Sallie Mae loan is in his name & us the parents as cosigners. What deductions can be made? Who takes them? He will not be filing a tax return since he did not earn enough. Does he have to claim tuition or do we? Do we have to claim the scholarships?
I usually do our taxes but this is all new to me. First class they should teach in college is how to figure out your taxes.Also would it be better to pay the intrest on the loans to deduct for next year or let them ride until he graduates? Thanks for any help or suggestions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Answers will depend on: Family income, the form of his financial aid, and some choices you make about what is potentially available. For example, there is something called a Hope Credit, but it's only available the first two years (if you qualify); there is also something called a Lifetime Learning Credit that can be claimed any year if you qualify and if you aren't claiming the Hope Credit. I'm not trying to confuse you. I'm just trying to say that there aren't any simple answers, and you'll have to do some reading. In my situation with a daughter in college a couple of years ago, I was paying a good part of her tuition and had taken out a Plus loan for more of her tuition: the only thing I qualified for was to be able to claim her as a dependent. The IRS has a publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, which is fairly clear and will help you figure this out. I just checked their web site and see that the only version of this seems to be for 2005 taxes, but I don't think much has changed, so you should check it out. You might want to call the IRS and see if they are planning on publishing anything new for the 2006 tax year. As for the loans, you may or may not be able to deduct the interest (depends on your income), but let these go until they're due and pay with future dollars, or have him pay. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tax Benefits for Education
Thanks for the info. I'll have to check into it further. I am still confused about being able to deduct the tuition with not paying anything on it yet. On his 1099-T it has tuition amount and then $0 paid on tuition. He has to turn in his scholarships? Basically it is a private college that charges higher than normal tuition but then gives a generous amount in scholarships.Like Alumni, Presidents,Ohio grant, etc... He did not qualify for a pell grant. Maybe I need to take the taxes somewhere the first year to see what they do with them. Again, thanks for the help. |
loralei- It looks like the link I supplied above has changed. Hope the one below works. It might not be a bad idea to get professional help...if the preparer is really familiar with this stuff. I use an accountant who is really good but he missed some of the education-related stuff that my daughter could claim in later college years when she was making enough money to file taxes. I only caught it because I skimmed through Publication 970. If you get assistance, I suggest you protect yourself by first flipping through that publication and jotting down notes on things that might apply to you. And when you do get into it, be prepared: you may be assuming that a bunch of college-related expenses that you thought would be deductible simply aren't. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tax Benefits for Education
If his tuition was paid for with the scholarships, you can't claim the credits. If only part of his tuition was paid for with scholarships, you can claim a credit (either Hope or Lifetime Learning) on the part you paid or to out a loan to pay. You cannot claim an Education credit for room, board and most books. The Hope Credit can only be claimed during the years that a student is classified as a freshman or sophomore during some part of the year and you can only claim it for 2 years. You cannot claim both Hope and Lifetime Credits for a student in the same year. In general the scholarships aren't taxable to the student as long as he used them to pay tuition. If the scholarships were used to pay room and board or books, then they may be taxable on the student's return. Your son will claim the interest on the student loans when he starts making payments on them. The credits will be on your return as long as you claim him as a dependent. If your income is so high that the credits are phased out for you and your son has income, the situation becomes more "interesting". I've just touched the tip of the education credit iceberg and didn't even start on the tuition and fees deduction. If you have more questions, please ask. |
So we can claim the Lifetime learning credit on the balance the scholarships did not cover even thought we have not paid on them yet? Then our son can deduct the intrest once he starts paying on loan in 2010? Which do you think is better? The Hope or Lifetime? Should he start paying on the loans now or let them ride? |
Please, consult your accountant before you do your taxes. There are a lot of variables at this point (and in our case the family taxes were even more complicated by the fact that dd worked as a waitress--always a challenge to figure the taxes!) Your accountant knows the various in's and out's of what you can deduct, how you'll get the maximum benefit. If yours is anything like ours, you'll save many times his fee by using him. Oh--I'm talking about a real tax accountant--not someone in a storefront who got a few weeks crash course on tax prep. My accountant is actually cheaper than the popular storefront tax place that pops up in every shopping center this time of year. |
There is nothing wrong with a store front tax preparer that has years of experience. There are even EA's working at the major chains. If you go to a chain, ask for an appointment with someone that has more than 4 or 5 years of experience. Actually a 2nd or third year preparer should be able to handle the education expenses and the waitress income. Yes, the store front tax prep places tend to be expensive. The big CPA firms are even more expensive. |

text: Pregnancy > Pregnancy Problems Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Answers to all your questions about GTD. What is gestational trophoblastic disease?Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a spectrum of rare tumors that arise from the cells that would typically develop into a pregnancy.Important note: GTD involves tumors, but not all tumors are cancerous. In fact, the most common form of GTD, the hydatidiform mole (sometimes called a "molar pregnancy"), is benign. What are the signs of GTD?A woman with GTD typically misses her period, gets a positive pregnancy test and believes she's carrying a normal pregnancy -- until unusual symptoms (including abnormal bleeding and a uterus that measures larger than expected) and/or further testing reveal the presence of GTD and the absence of a viable pregnancy. Are there any tests for GTD? Blood tests and ultrasounds are usually used to diagnose GTD. Your doc will track your HCG level via blood tests. HCG is the hormone picked up by pregnancy tests, but in GTD, it usually rises faster than normal. An ultrasound may reveal a uterus filled with grape-like clusters, the hallmark of a molar pregnancy. A normally developing fetus is not visible. How common is GTD?Molar pregnancies are rare: they range from 23 to 1,299 cases per 100,000 pregnancies. Other forms of GTD are even more rare. How did I get GTD?A complete molar pregnancy occurs when one or two sperm cells fertilize an egg without a nucleus. (No one seems to know why some eggs are nucleus-free.) A partial molar pregnancy occurs when two sperm cells fertilize one egg. How will my GTD affect my baby?We're really sorry, but there's no baby. GTD means something has gone seriously wrong with the pregnancy, and it's not viable. The good news is, most women with GTD have a successful pregnancy in the future (see next page for treatment and resources). -- Deborah Ottenheimer, MD, ob-gyn at Ottenheimer Healthcare in New York Next Page >> Page 1 of 2

Despite all the wonderful technological advancements that come out every year, it seems we still end up spending more time indoors than we'd like. Countless studies have indicated the importance of sunlight to our health, but for many of us, our career choices, health concerns, and numerous other situations leave us lacking many options when it comes to spending adequate time outdoors. The good news: skylights can add value and comfort to our homes while giving us our much-needed Vitamin D fix.
Skylights provide Houston homeowners a number of value-added benefits, including:
- Electricity costs money. Sunlight is free.
- Improved health, providing sunlight to combat Seasonal Defective Disorder, particularly in people who can't get outside much.
- Your home's rooms stay lit, even when the electricity is turned off.
- Reduced electric consumption means skylights are a great "green" choice, helping the environment every year they're installed.
- Skylights let in more sunlight than traditional windows of the same size.
- During colder months, skylights can help warm your home, reducing your dependency on your furnace and greatly lowering heating bills.
- Skylights pay for themselves within a few years in reduced energy costs.
- Skylights are an eco-friendly alternative for office buildings, schools, and other commercial institutions as well as residential homes.
To learn more about the benefits of installing skylights in your home, and to find out what styles are right for you, speak to a representative about our Houston skylight installation services today.

The Real Problem Is Appeals Council Backlogs
A claimant is supposed to wait over two and a half years for Appeals Council action without the possibility of filing a new claim? Social Security claims that it is trying to stop an abusive practice, but isn't the real problem the backlog at the Appeals Council? Take that away and there is little incentive to file a new claim while an appeal is pending at the Appeals Council.

More than two thousand years ago God sent Jesus Christ into our world. He became one of us, but he did nothing wrong. He showed us what God is like - merciful and kind. He healed the sick people, the blind were made to see, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk. Some people followed him, and He gave them a new way of life - God's way. But others hated Him because He was so good, and he exposed their evil ways.
God is perfect and wants to be your friend. But, when you do not obey God then that is called sin. The penalty for sin is death. Jesus lived a perfect life and gave Himself as a sacrifice, a payment for your sins, because He loves you. Jesus' death on the cross frees you from your sin and brings you into friendship with God.
Three days after he died, Jesus Christ came back from the dead and is alive! Now He lives in the power of an endless life to forgive your sins, to be your Savior, and to meet your needs. Jesus Christ is the only one who can do this for you.
Jesus will free you from your guilt and shame and give you new life. He will heal your brokenness and make you whole. He will teach you how to live a life that honors God.
Pray with me now to make Jesus Christ your Savior and your friend.
"Thank you, God, for loving me and sending your Son to die on the cross for my sins. I give Jesus control of my life. Help me to be the person that You want me to be. In Jesus' name, Amen."
You've made the most important decision you will ever make in your life. Jesus said, "If anyone comes toward me, I will not turn him away." He is your answer to your questions on life's journey.

Bill's Lake Retreat
Wonderful!! Bill's Lake is totally family friendly, serene, fish are jumping any time of the day. We so much enjoyed having an inland lake for our Michigan vacation this year and this home met all our expectations. With children coming and going as to their availability, my husband and I even had some down time to enjoy on our own. Newaygo is quiet, charming, and the lake so peaceful in the morning. We did rent the pontoon and found that to be so enjoyable with daily mini cruises around the lake. Thank you to our hostess Donna for one amazing lakeside vacation!

Ok so I've got a lot of spring bulbs that are blooming or are ready for bloom. I know to fertilize after bloom and leave the foliage, but not sure about the water needs of the various types. The reason I ask is because my entire yard in on drip emitters, and I'd like to avoid having to move the setup if the bulbs can take the water. Here is what I have
Also, some Daffs and Dutch Iris in pots, that could be, if needed, hand watered. I should also mention that after years of composting, the soil that these bulbs are in is very drainable. Thanks all! Matt |

LendUp Volunteer Day!
Last week the LendUp team volunteered their time to help the youth and teens at the Shih Yu Lang Central YMCA. They helped the teens prepare a delicious spaghetti dinner, and while some where in the kitchen LendUp helpers assisted some teens with their resumes too. The best part of the day was being able to enjoy the outdoors by playing some soccer, basketball, jump rope and even some light gardening! The teens and youth had an amazing time. Thank you for spending the day with us!
Thank you again LendUp for hanging out with us last week. We had a blast spending time with you and enjoyed your company. Come by to visit anytime!
Be ready for some more info on personal finance, next workshop will be at the YMCA May 1st, please contact if any of your teens are interested in learning more!

Marketing Secret Weapon for Brands are Viral Videos
Brands are now fully immersed in the viral video world. Branded videos spread like wildfire for the same reason non-branded videos go viral: They're compelling and shareable. Videos should prompt people to engage with a brand in a genuine fashion ultimately, people share viral videos because they've stumbled across something they think is worth spreading the word about, regardless of a brand's ulterior motives.
A YouTube video lets brands be more experimental and risky than a TV, print or sidebar ad just check out Virgin America's daring ad from last year, which is a flight safety video. If a picture's worth a thousand words, then a video's worth thousands more. Branded videos can also be as long as necessary, as opposed to a standard 30- or 60-second TV spot.
Virgin America Safety Video #VXsafetydance
if viewers make it to the end, like what they see and, upon seeing the brand's name, are pleasantly surprised — that's a win.
Perhaps the most popular examples of "brand withholding" are the prank videos from Kimmel, such as the recent "Worst Twerk Fail Ever" and "Epic #SochiFail: Wolf in my hall. " These types of buzz worthy videos get everyone talking and promote Kimmel's personal brand and he gets away with it due to the nature of his profession. " These types of buzz worthy videos get everyone talking and promote Kimmel's personal brand and he gets away with it due to the nature of his profession. All-in-all, there are a number of strategies brands can employ when it comes to approaching branded viral videos.
Technology and Trends are Revolutionizing the Classroom
Laptops and tablets have been part of classroom culture for years, but the way some schools are utilizing these tools is nothing short of revolutionary. From paperless classes to personalized math lessons, educators are using technology to challenge their strong students and give extra support to the weak. Along the way, they are changing the way they teach as they adapt to the way students learn. Google's online word processor, Google Docs, has entirely transformed the way teachers can support students through the writing process, from the first brainstorming activity to the feedback provided to students on their final drafts. Students can instantly share their essays with their teachers to receive immediate replies to their questions. Rather than having to print a copy to, then waiting for the return. Students have the support they need with the convenience of technology.
There is no question that technology in education has become a major trend. Students of this generation have more access to technology and digitalized learning methods than ever before. Tablets can offer the ability to constantly update material rather than waiting for an entire book lifecycle, which would allow students to receive the most up to date information in rapidly evolving subjects such as science. Mobile learning is hardly a new trend, but we have now reached the point with near ubiquitous cellphone ownership among adults, and growing ownership among children. More than three-quarters of teens own a cellphone, and about 40% own a smartphone. As such, these mobile devices will help unlock some of the promise of "anytime, anywhere" learning opportunities.
"If there was any doubt in our mind that we were beyond the tipping point in terms of kids carrying a computer in their pocket, backpack or purse, we're there."
With Earth Day on the horizon, Skype shared an adorable video of a class of UK students getting an interactive lesson about endangered penguins from Rifqah Taliep of The Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds. By registering for the Skype in the classroom community, teachers receive free Skype Group Video Calling for 12 months as a special benefit of the program. Skype can tell real stories that can be told by real people. Empowering our youth anywhere around the world is a great example of what technology is capable of.
"It's difficult for children to imagine what is going on in the world"– Dan Mount Egglescliffe Primary
Social Media Can Be Used for Good
While social media typically gets a bad rap, it has also been used for good and to further noble causes. Kids and teens have used social media to fundraise and contribute to efforts of charity and nonprofits via social media all around the world.
As Unicef Sweden recently pointed out, a "like" on Facebook isn't going to save lives, money is, and the growing opportunity is for charities to use social media to receive donations directly. Because the price of entry to social media is much lower than marketing through traditional broadcast channels, charities have the opportunity to garner donations regardless of their size.
In the last year Kids Company has undertaken a series of initiatives to engage people with high quality content that leads to invitations to donate instantly. Using the six-second mobile app Vine, they created a series of videos showing children in disadvantaged situations. People that watched it and then donated money to 'make it stop', instantly received a follow-up Vine showing the children in happier situations.
HACKtivation for the Homeless
After 3 days of hacking for the HACKtivation, local non-profits and programmers joined forces to support the homeless. Many homeless organizations just needed a way to turn paperless, or a simple website. Unknown of the possibilities of technology, ReAllocate has connected the resources through HACKtivation. By connecting this community together we are working in a positive way to better assist the homeless.
Make sure to check out Deleano Seymour for more on Tenderloin Walking Tours, a great man with a past and because of supporters he has a future!
Working with two teens from the Central YMCA in the Tenderloin, our team focused on helping homeless women who are victims of domestic violence. By creating a texting platform, homeless women who are in need of direct help, or are in need of a woman mentor SFW (Safe for Women) can assist them.
Join now on GitHub and contribute to our project on Heroku. As a non profit, connect with us and use our platform to connect your volunteers and help us find mentors.
Thank you ReAllocate for putting this event together, we are very excited for the next one!
Hacking for a Purpose
San Francisco has been working on cleaning up and clearing out the homeless in many areas in city. In the Tenderloin, a historic place that houses many families below the poverty line. Is also called home to many homeless individuals. By trying to clear out the homeless, what has happened is people don't see the homeless as people no longer.
Hackathons mainly consist of a large group that meets to engage in collaborative computer programming for new web or mobile services. Instead Reallocate has put together a HACKtivation for the Homeless. Joining non-profits and tech companies to collaborate together to address civic issues and more importantly address the homelessness.
Pop17 is working with YMCA urban services and Glide to build an app to support woman who have been victims of rape. Giving these homeless women an outlet, and source of contact to confide with other woman for support. By creating this chat support, women mentors for live chat and mentorship with other women who are successful strong independent women.
At HACKtivation for the Homeless we are hacking for a purpose, and hacking to develop apps that will create change, and giving the homeless a voice to help us understand their struggles and what they think needs to change. By working together, we are connecting our youth and community with the homeless to make that change!

Sunscreen formulation is both an art and a science. Sunscreens appear to be simply an emulsions system with sunscreen actives included in the formulation. However, this is far from reality. Even a formulator experiences in the development of emulsion systems will experience a myriad of difficulties during sunscreen formulation. This review will be successful if the reader understands that sunscreen formulation is complex and is best left to the experienced artist.

Father Silas visits London
On 20 February Father Silas Spear flew into London on a stop-over for his traditional three-month visit to St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church in Kitchener, Ontario, where he assists Father Athanasius Iskander. Abba Seraphim was at the airport to meet him and take him back to the Church Secretariat at Charlton. After a brief rest he accompanied Abba Seraphim and Father Peter Farrington to the meeting at St. George's-in-the-East at Shadwell. On 21 February Father Silas accompanied Abba Seraphim to Morden College at Blackheath to visit Father Michael Robson, who was delighted to see him. Whilst there Father Silas also visited the College Chapel and met with Father Nick Woodcock, the College chaplain.
British Orthodox Churches celebrate Holy Pascha
As once again, the date for Holy Pascha was common to both East and West, there was a great sense of oneness among Christians in celebrating the Lord's Resurrection. British Orthodox congregations observed the Holy Week services whilst at Charlton, Father Sergius Scott joined in an Ecumenical Procession of Witness on Good Friday. In all our churches the Paschal Vigil and Liturgy was celebrated on Pascha Eve (23 April), which also coincided with the traditional observance of St. George's Day in England. The exceptionally fine weather and the fact that so many trees, shrubs and flowers had burst into bloom, added to the sense of the glory of the new life revealed in the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Because of its elderly congregation and the church being isolated in the countryside, St, Mary & St. Felix at Babingley in Norfolk began the Vigil service just before sunset. Abba Seraphim presided and was the first to proclaim, "Christ is Risen". As there were a good number of Orthodox Christians from Moldova and Russia joining the regular congregation, they were also greeted in Russian. At the conclusion of the Liturgy when Abba Seraphim blessed and distributed dyed eggs, he also blessed their traditional festive foods of pascha and kullich, which they had brought to the church. Father Simon reports that the Bournemouth and Portsmouth congregations celebrated Holy Week and the feast at the Church of Christ the Saviour at Winton (Bournemnouth) and services were well supported. Following the Vigil and Liturgy on Pascha Eve, on the forenoon of Pascha, prayers for the departed were said at church and in a long-established local tradition their graves at Wimborne Road Cemetery were visited and the Resurrection hymn sung as eggs were placed on their graves. At Cusworth the local congregation were also joined by Orthodox Christians from Eastern Europe and the church was filled, whilst at Chatham a new catechumen was received during the evening and the joyous celebration concluded with an extensive buffet which continued into the early hours.
At the conclusion of the service at Babingley Abba Seraphim read the Paschal message from His Holiness Pope Shenouda III and all churches prayed with great fervour for Pope Shenouda and also Patriarch Mor Ignatius Zakka of Antioch, having a great burden of concern for their brothers and sisters in Egypt and Syria who are caught up in the civil disturbances in both countries.
Abba Seraphim returned to London at noon on Holy Pascha and went first to greet Father Michael Robson at Morden College, Blackheath, before visiting sick and housebound members of the church with Holy Communion.
African Bishop attends Orthodox Liturgy at Blackheath
Every two months Abba Seraphim celebrates the Divine Liturgy in the late 17th century Chapel of Morden College at Blackheath. This is where Father Michael Robson has lived for a number of years and the use of the chapel was kindly offered to the British Orthodox Church to minister to Fr. Michael. A warm welcome is always accorded to Abba Seraphim and Fr. Peter Farrington by the College Chaplain and his staff and many others residents of the College frequently attend and support the Orthodox celebrations. The Liturgy on 5 April was also attended by The Right Rev'd Patrick Mwachiko, Bishop of Masasi, one of the sixteen dioceses in the Province of Tanzania,who was visiting friends at Morden College. After the Liturgy there was a convivial gathering for coffee for all those present. Bishop Patrick and his wife were returning home that evening and Abba Seraphim wished them God-speed and assured them that he would pray for the ministry in Masasi.
Forty years of priesthood
On 27 February Abba Seraphim marked the fortieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood as well as his 63rd birthday. There were no special celebrations organised but thanksgiving prayers were held in all British Orthodox churches and congratulations were received from many clergy in other churches. Abba Seraphim visited Father Michael Robson at Morden College in the morning and was delighted to find him sitting up out of bed and much improved in health and spirits. Later he celebrated the monthly Liturgy at St. Thomas's Church in Charlton, assisted by Father Sergius Scott and Deacon Theodore de Quincey and preached on the Spiritual Purpose of Great Lent. The regular congregation were delighted to be joined by Reader Seraphim-Mark Boorman and his wife, Susannah, from the Chatham Church also Father Deacon Richard & Dr. Carol Downer from the Melkite Church who had come to greet Abba Seraphim. After the service everyone stayed for tea with a small portion of birthday cake.
Monday, 28 February is the thirty-second anniversary of the death of the late Metropolitan Georgius and Abba Seraphim's succession as head of the British Orthodox Church.
