- For a look at some of the "controversies" around ID, see Intelligent design and academic freedom
""Try this experiment if you ever find yourself talking to a proponent of ID. Say, "OK, for the sake of argument let's say evolution is wrong and let's forget about it. Now tell me how intelligent design works." Having tried this a few times myself, I am confident that you will be met with nothing but an awkward silence.

""Intelligent Design is just Creationism dressed up in a lab coat.
—Matt Dillahunty (host, The Atheist Experience) |
Intelligent design creationism (often referred to as intelligent design or "ID") is a pseudoscience that maintains that certain aspects of the physical world, and more specifically life, show signs of having been designed, and hence were designed, by an intelligent being (usually, but not always, the God of the Christian religion). The concept is older than science, but only since the 1980s has the term "intelligent design" been in circulation. Supporters of intelligent design (termed design proponents, or, once, cdesign proponentsists) usually claim that the theory is not based on Christian creationism, although the existence of the Wedge Document is a pretty big hint that there is some link. Attempts to have ID taught in public schools have been defeated in court, and science papers proposing a "designer" usually cannot get past peer review - although not for reasons of prejudice against the subject matter. Intelligent design has been widely criticised for its failure to state what mechanism drives it, its lack of falsifiability, and many other problems that leave it lacking as a scientific theory. Where it has faced the scrutiny of the law, the US court system (apparently the only one to have considered the question) have appeared to consider it a form of old Earth creationism, making its teaching in public schools constitutionally impermissible under the Supreme Court's holding in Edwards v. Aguillard.

[edit] Origins
""Creationists and Intelligent Design advocates are the same thing. Like a clown and a clown carrying an umbrella.
—David Thorne[2] |
The concept of the world and its creatures and people having been intelligently designed is a very old one, central to creationism and common to many of the world's religions. It is one of the oldest themes of philosophy, having been explored by Plato and Aristotle. In Christianity, the concept of intelligent design by a creator is perpetuated by the Biblical account of the creation. That the world and its creatures aren't just the product of, but actually evidence of intelligent design is known as the teleological argument or argument from design. It has been used more frequently in modern times than previously, particularly after the complexity of the biological cell was realised. One famous example was William Paley's 1802 use of the "watchmaker analogy," which posits that the complexity of natural life must be the product of an intelligent creator in the same way that a watch must be the product of a watchmaker - and specifically that it is possible to tell the difference between designed and non-designed objects intuitively.
The term "intelligent design" emerged much more recently than the design argument itself. It had been used occasionally during the twentieth century, but was popularized after the aforementioned 1987 legal case of Edwards v. Aguillard, in which "creation science" was ruled to be a religious concept, and therefore unfit to be taught in public schools under American constitutional law. Subsequently, many aspects of creation science were rebranded as "intelligent design," which is ostensibly a non-religious concept since its adherents claim that it leaves open the question of who the designer might be.
The Discovery Institute has taken the lead in promoting intelligent design, and urging for it to be incorporated into public education. The Discovery Institute's Wedge Document specifically states that the intelligent designer is the Christian God, thus undercutting the claims that the intelligent design movement is not strictly religious. In the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District case (2005), the Court found that intelligent design was primarily religious and fostered unnecessary entanglement of church and state. The Court further found that intelligent design is not science. As Thunderf00t later noted, the Discovery Institute abruptly altered its stance in light of Kitzmiller, claiming that it considered Intelligent Design a valid scientific theory but did not advocate its integration into public school curricula.
[edit] Designed by whom?
""Possible candidates for the role of designer include: the God of Christianity; an angel--fallen or not; Plato's demi-urge; some mystical new age force; space aliens from Alpha Centauri; time travelers; or some utterly unknown intelligent being.
—Michael Behe[3] |
Almost all proponents of intelligent design have been theists, arguing that the creator must be God. ID is advanced by many "Young Earth creationists," (somewhat ironically, since none of the prominent promoters of ID dispute the scientific consensus on the age of the Earth - Jonathan Wells, for specific example, has used the Cambrian explosion, which he claims occurred hundreds of millions of years ago, like many more-credible scientists, as a "dramatic refutation" of evolutionary biology) who use it to rebut the theory of evolution, and, by extension, the facts that support it. Their position is generally that evolution through natural selection and physical forces and principles alone is not solely responsible for the current diversity of life on earth. However, some believers in "Old Earth creationism" believe intelligent design to be the guiding mechanism behind theistic or "guided" evolution.[4]
The intelligent design argument is not inherently incompatible with atheism, since, even if one accepts that the complexity of nature proves an intelligent designer, this does not logically prove that the "designer" has the characteristics of a god or is worthy of worship. Some (largely obscure) intelligent design theories conjecture that life on earth could have been cultivated by intelligent extraterrestrial beings. Francis Crick is sometimes cited as an example of an atheist ID proponent, since his concept of directed panspermia arguably shared some concepts with ID. Crick later partially retracted his claim based on an what he called an overly pessimistic model for abiogenesis.[5] The Raëlians constitute a less scientific example of atheistic ID proponents - their belief that all life on earth is the creation of ancient astronauts posits intelligent agency but does not (necessarily) attribute divinity to the designer.
Some ID proponents honestly acknowledge that their critique is informed by a rejection of the methodological naturalism, by which physical science examines the world, and consequently cannot be science. Others are a bit more evasive, but the overwhelming majority of scientists dismiss intelligent design as being pseudoscience.
Ironically, most intelligent design proponents appear to consider the idea that aliens designed everything on Earth as "silly," which is strange considering extraterrestrial design has the following advantages over god-based design:
- Not scientifically impossible. (Assuming that FTL or time-dilating travel technologies exist). No superstitious or supernatural elements that couldn't be duplicated by any "normal" being (one clearly and objectively bound by the laws of nature) are assumed.
- Doesn't necessarily conflict with evolution. Even in a designed ecosystem evolution could still occur and nothing prevents the aliens from having evolved normally themselves.
- A plethora of reported sightings, carvings, photographs, radar signatures, all of which (regardless of their authenticity) are a lot more evidence than the number of sightings and photographs of God.
- Explanation for mistakes, illness, nature's cruelty etc. Since physical beings do not have any obligation to be "all perfect" or "all loving," and are by definition not all-powerful, aliens get a free pass on all of that.
[edit] Intelligent or supernatural?
Behe raises the issue of a "new age force" or "space aliens" being the causal agent.[3] Others have made the object of their complaint naturalism, while the name "Intelligent Design" does not suggest the supernatural. An intelligent designer need not be supernatural, and the supernatural need not be an intelligent designer. Genies are not "teleological" - they fulfill your wishes without concern for the consequences, and a magic ring can be used for good or evil. And, of course, humans, other intelligent animals and (presumably) space aliens are not supernatural. In order to solve a complaint about the "random" in evolution, one is looking for a goal-directed (a possible sense of "intelligent") agency, and whether or not it is supernatural is irrelevant. While in resolving a complaint that sciences are improperly ignoring supernatural causes, intelligence is not required.
[edit] Front Loading
In order to reconcile the ID hypothesis with the fact that billions of years ago only unicellular organisms existed, the ID advocates have invented the idea of "front loading" which is that ALL the features of every single organism that exists today were loaded into the original single-celled organism by the Intelligent Designer billions of years ago, somehow, so that they would eventually emerge at some point in the future, thus allowing what appears to be evolution to happen.
The old argument against front loading is genetic decay. If the genes were loaded into the DNA but were not used until billions of years later, mutations would rapidly destroy them. This happened for example to the Y chromosome. The ID rebuttal to this argument is that the genes which were originally loaded into the unicellular organism were useful for a different purpose, and that the intelligent designer somehow foresaw that the genes loaded were going to be adapted to perform a different function (this is known as exaptation). The only way to verify this hypothesis of course is to find an organism that contains every single gene of every single organism on the planet. Nobody has ever found such an organism.[6]
Compare front loading with the 18th century theory of Preformation[wp], that each individual exists with its major organs formed within the bodies of its ancestors back to the beginning of creation.
[edit] The wedge strategy and the "Trojan horse" of creationism
Intelligent design has been strongly pushed by the Discovery Institute as part of the wedge strategy as outlined in the Wedge Document in their attempt to create a sciency-sounding version of creationism. It has been roundly rejected by most scientists on the grounds that it has no peer-reviewed publications of any standards, and has produced no positive evidence for its claims. The wedge strategy itself is to create a public furor over the concept of "teaching the controversy." In the real scientific world, of course, there is no such controversy over the facts and theories underlying modern concepts of evolution.
To date, intelligent design has been officially introduced into exactly one school district - and there, it tore apart the community, cost the school board millions of dollars, and was eventually thrown out after the Kitzmiller trial. Although intelligent design is always a "Trojan horse" for creationism - that is to say, creationism with a new name and a few obfuscating principles - there is a sliding scale of how egregious and visible the disguise is. Some people actually believe it to be real science (albeit erroneously), while others use it as a clear pretext for preaching, er, teaching creationism.
In the Kitzmiller case, the disguise was patently obvious. "Intelligent design proponents" there sought to have the book Of Pandas and People, a creationist screed, taught as part of a new "intelligent design" curriculum at the local Dover public high school. ID supporters hoped to prove at trial that the book was legitimate science, and not creationism. However, there was one slight problem - the book was a book about creationism, with the words "creator," "creationism," etc., merely replaced with "designer," "intelligent design," etc. by a basic word-processor "find/replace" function. The ruse was made glaringly obvious by spelling errors like "cdesign proponentsists."[7]
[edit] Legal issues in education
- For the main article on this important issue, please see Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District.
No appellate precedent exists by which to judge the legality of teaching intelligent design in public schools. However, in the landmark district federal court case, Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, Judge John E. Jones III ruled that given that the policy of teaching intelligent design was supported by religious rhetoric, it amounted to a teaching of religion by the state, in violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Intelligent design was "religion" because, in the legal language applied, a reasonable person (based on the events surrounding the policy's adoption) could have concluded that it had the purpose or effect of establishing a particular religion. In short, when a school board tries to teach intelligent design, the level of religious rhetoric is directly related to the likelihood of its unconstitutionality under the Lemon v. Kurtzmann test.
This precedent, and the correlation it establishes between religious rhetoric and the likelihood of any intelligent design policy being found unconstitutional, will be vitally important in heading off future school boards which attempt to teach intelligent design as "science." Intelligent design's "wedge" appeal rests on its attempt to characterize itself as non-religious, after all. Fortunately, the idea that intelligent design is non-religious is being rebutted on a practically daily basis... by its own proponents.
Consider a Kentucky schoolteacher who sought to teach intelligent design to her seventh grade biology class. The teacher curiously taught the "scientific theory" as something practically indistinguishable from creationism, complete with flood geology and young earth chronology.[8] The school board, after being made aware of the same by the ACLU, and the likely legal troubles it would face, terminated its tacit approval of intelligent design.
Additionally, the leading light of intelligent design, Michael Behe, is only able to publish his pro-intelligent design theories in one scientific journal - Philosophia Christi - the proceedings of the Evangelical Philosophy Society.[9]
And finally, the "movie" Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, which bills itself as describing how intelligent design is systematically excluded from academia for no other reason than bias, describes intelligent design in its own advertisements as "creationism."[10]
[edit] Scope and definition
The theory of evolution by natural selection deals only with the question of how organisms develop and form new species. Logically it can have nothing to say about the origin of the universe or the origin of life. It appears that some of the more, shall we say, scientifically-minded believers in ID attempt to constrain themselves similarly and claim no more than God somebody is controlling evolution. Others however go further and claim that ID explains not only the origin of life but even the origin of the universe. This expansion in the claimed scope of the theory is probably caused by two things:
- If you see ID as a code word for "God" then the temptation to ascribe all of existence to "ID" is very strong.
- There is a common misconception among fundamentalists about what evolution actually is. For many, any scientific theory is an example of evolution and, to compete, ID must be capable of including anything which they erroneously believe evolution includes.
There is also a difference of opinion about what is actually involved biologically in ID. Again, for the more scientifically-minded it is simply evolution which is guided by God and common descent is fully accepted. For the more fundamentalist believers it is equivalent to progressive creationism in which complete new species are periodically created by God someone. It is patently absurd for something which is presented as a scientific theory to be so lacking in any clear definition of scope and definition. (A reader who takes a close look the pro-ID description of Expelled will notice a number of these contradictions.) The contradictions exist as a consequence of the fact that ID attempts to include so many creationist ideas under the guise of science.
During an interview with R. C. Sproul, Ben Stein defined intelligent design as the "hypothesis" that "an all-powerful designer" created the universe, including living things in their present forms.[11] John G. West and Casey Luskin have compared this hypothesis to the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. They have concluded that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."[12] They refer to their conclusion as "the scientific theory of intelligent design."[13]
Does their conclusion transform the intelligent design hypothesis into a "scientific theory"? No. A scientific theory, by its own merit, cannot be based on "all-powerful designers" or other supernatural causes (unless their existence can be shown by evidence, in which case, they cease to be supernatural and are merely unexplained). Their conclusion that intelligent design is the "best" explanation is an example of a propaganda technique named "assertion."[14]
[edit] Scientific evaluation
[edit] Method
An outstanding issue of intelligent design is what mechanism the hypothesized "designer"[15] uses to initiate design diversity. According to the theory of evolution, this mechanism is genetic mutation resulting from environmental stresses and point mutations caused by the cellular chemical environment. As of this time intelligent design supporters have yet to offer a plausible mechanism to which diversity can be attributed that differentiates from the mechanisms listed by the theory of evolution. As such the intelligent design proponents have yet to offer any empirical evidence to support the claim of a designer.
[edit] Evidence
ID proponents such as Michael Behe promote theories such as "irreducible complexity" as evidence for their ideas. Irreducible complexity posits that there are certain organs and structures found in nature that have no convincing gradual evolutionary pathway, and are too complex to have come about in whole by chance. These ideas are hotly disputed (or dismissed as non-science) by scientists, but regardless of their truth value they do not constitute evidence for an intelligent designer. Proponents of intelligent design make an assumption unwarranted by the evidence in that their logic goes along the lines of "The origins and diversity of the species cannot be accounted for by evolution and natural selection alone, therefore there must have been a designer involved."
The very lack of positive scientific evidence suggesting that there is a designer involved in creating life raises the question of how the design hypothesis came about. Opponents of the design hypothesis would suggest that proponents are religiously motivated, and that their ideas are not about understanding how life came to exist but rather about promoting a particular religious world view as espoused in the Wedge Document.
[edit] Periodicity
There has also been no attempt to specify the periodicity of the miraculous interventions by the hypothesized "intelligent designer". In other words, the hypothesis does not state if the miraculous interventions take place annually, monthly, daily, or only when the designer feels that miraculous intervention is necessary.
[edit] Falsifiability
ID proponents have yet to demonstrate that their idea is even remotely scientific by identifying what they believe could falsify it.
In fact, we await with interest any submission from supporters of this concept which would elevate it to the realms of science. Our article on what could disprove intelligent design remains embarrassingly void of valid arguments.
[edit] Abiogenesis
Slightly better educated supporters of ID sometimes complain that the theory of evolution lacks any mention of, or generally accepted hypothesis about, abiogenesis. It is of interest, however, that versions of ID which pretend to be science also lack any such mechanism - though the unstated assumption is that it was the work of god.
The objection also betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the theory of evolution, which does not propose an explanation of how life started. It merely describes what happens after some form of life is extant.

The abdominal aorta is the largest artery in the abdominal cavity. As part of the aorta, it is a direct continuation of the descending aorta (of the thorax).
It begins at the level of the diaphragm, crossing it via the aortic hiatus, technically behind the diaphragm, at the vertebral level of T12. It travels down the posterior wall of the abdomen, anterior to the vertebral column. It thus follows the curvature of the lumbar vertebrae, that is, convex anteriorly. The peak of this convexity is at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3). It runs parallel to the inferior vena cava, which is located just to the right of the abdominal aorta, and becomes smaller in diameter as it gives off branches. This is thought to be due to the large size of its principal branches. At the 11th rib, the diameter is 122mm long and 55mm wide and this is because of the constant pressure
The descending aorta is part of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. The descending aorta is the part of the aorta beginning at the aortic arch that runs down through the chest and abdomen. The descending aorta is divided into two portions, the thoracic and abdominal, in correspondence with the two great cavities of the trunk in which it is situated. Within the abdomen, the descending aorta branches into the two common iliac arteries which serve the pelvis and eventually legs.
The ligamentum arteriosum connects the superior surface of the left branch of the pulmonary artery to the proximal descending aorta. The blood bypasses the lungs through the ductus arteriosus during embryonic circulation. This becomes the ligamentum arteriosum postnatal as pulmonary circulation begins.
Vascular surgery is a specialty of surgery in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries and veins, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. The specialty evolved from general and cardiac surgery as well as minimally invasive techniques pioneered by interventional radiology. Early leaders of the field included Russian surgeon Nikolai Korotkov, noted for developing early surgical techniques, American interventional radiologist Charles Theodore Dotter who is credited with inventing minimally invasive angioplasty, and Australian Robert Paton, who helped the field achieve recognition as a specialty. Edwin Wylie of San Francisco was one of the early American pioneers who developed and fostered advanced training in vascular surgery and pushed for its recognition as a specialty in the United States in the 1970s. The vascular surgeon is trained in the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting all parts of the vascular system except that of the heart and brain. Cardiothoracic surgeons manage surgical disease of the heart and its vessels. Neurosurgeons and interventional neuroradiologists manage surgical disease of the vessels in the brain (e.g., intracranial aneurysms).
The specialty continues to be based on operative arterial and venous surgery but since the early 1990s has evolved greatly. There is now considerable emphasis on minimally invasive alternatives to surgery. The field was originally pioneered by interventional radiologists, chiefly Dr. Charles Dotter, who invented angioplasty. Further development of the field has occurred via joint efforts between interventional radiology, vascular surgery, and interventional cardiology. This area of vascular surgery is called Endovascular Surgery or Interventional Vascular Radiology, a term that some in the specialty append to their primary qualification as Vascular Surgeon. Endovascular and endovenous procedures can now form the bulk of a vascular surgeon's practice.
The thoracic aorta is contained in the posterior mediastinal cavity.
It begins at the lower border of the fourth thoracic vertebra where it is continuous with the aortic arch, and ends in front of the lower border of the twelfth thoracic vertebra, at the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm where it becomes the abdominal aorta.
Aortic dissection occurs when a tear in the inner wall of the aorta causes blood to flow between the layers of the wall of the aorta, forcing the layers apart. In most cases this is associated with severe characteristic chest or abdominal pain described as "tearing" in character, and often with other symptoms that result from decreased blood supply to other organs. Aortic dissection is a medical emergency and can quickly lead to death, even with optimal treatment, as a result of decreased blood supply to other organs, cardiac failure, and sometimes rupture of the aorta. Aortic dissection is more common in those with a history of high blood pressure, a known thoracic aortic aneurysm, and in a number of conditions that affect blood vessel wall integrity such as Marfan syndrome and the vascular subtype of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. The diagnosis is made with medical imaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or echocardiography).
The treatment of aortic dissection depends on the part of the aorta involved. Surgery is usually required for dissections that involve the aortic arch, while dissections of the part further away from the heart may be treated with blood pressure lowering only. Since the 1990s endovascular aneurysm repair (carried out from inside the blood vessels) has been used in specific cases.
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.

What is Watch D.O.G.S.?
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is the safe school initiative of the National Center for Fathering that involves fathers and father figures to help create a more safe and secure learning environment in our nation's schools. The goal of the program is to help every school in America be positively influenced by the committed involvement of fathers and father figures in lives of their children and students.
How the Program Works
Watch D.O.G.S., a K-12 program, invites fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures to volunteer one day at their child's school during the school year. This program is supported by the Kenneth Culbert PTA who partners with the school administrators to coordinate scheduling and identify opportunities for Watch D.O.G.S. to provide assistance at the school. Watch D.O.G.S. assist with a variety of tasks during their volunteer day including welcoming students, reading to classes, tutoring small groups, helping students in the lunchroom, eating lunch, and enjoying recess with your child or children. The possibilities are endless!
How to Sign-up to Volunteer
Starting this year, volunteers will have to have a volunteer form on file with the front office.
If you are interested in participating and would like additional information about this program, contact Danielle Kabban, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Watch Dog Day
Plan to spend the day volunteering in your child/ren classroom/s and other classes at your child's grade level. If you are a father of a Kindergarten student only, you will only volunteer for the half day (7:30-10:45 or 11:15-2:45) in which your child is in school.
We understand sometimes plans
change and you will be unable to be a WDD on your selected day. If
your plans change:
· Simply cancel your registration via SignUp Genius website. (Your Watch DOGS Registration confirmation email has a cancellation link)
· If you have lost your Watch DOGS registration confirmation email, you can e-mail Danielle Kabban at email@example.com.
· It is never necessary to find another volunteer to take your day.
Watch Dog Dad T-Shirts
This year we are recommending Dads wear their WatchD.O.G.S. t-shirt on the days they are volunteering at school. you can order shirts with this order form.

Treatment of severe liver failure with a bioartificial liver. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9616727 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the definitive therapy for severe liver failure. However, many patients die before an organ becomes available, mostly from cerebral edema. To provide temporary liver support, we developed a bioartificial liver (BAL) based on porcine hepatocytes and a charcoal column. Fifty-four consecutive BAL treatments were carried out in three groups of patients: Group I (n = 15) patients presented with FHF were listed for emergent OLT, Group II (n = 3) patients with primary non-function (PNF) of their liver grafts required urgent re-transplantation and Group III (n = 10) patients with acute exacerbation of chronic liver disease were not candidates for OLT. Patients were managed in a critical care unit receiving maximal standard support. Each BAL treatment was conducted for 6 hours. In Group I, all patients showed significant neurologic improvement, intracranial pressure (ICP) decreased and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) increased; other significant improvements, included lowered plasma ammonia and liver enzymes and increased glucose. One patient recovered spontaneously without OLT, all other patients were "bridged" to OLT, and recovered. Group II: PNF patients showed similar benefits. Group III: Chronic liver patients demonstrated transient beneficial effects after BAL treatment(s), however, most (n = 8) eventually succumbed to sepsis and multiple organ failure as they were not candidates for OLT; two patients, recovered, later were successfully transplanted and survived. Our clinical experience demonstrates that the BAL can serve as a bridge to OLT in patients with acute liver failure. |

ref would have been within his rights to let it continue but either way Foreman did seem finished by that point and would likely have gone down in the next ...
HOWEVER you'd think that if the knockdown 'knocked' some sense into him he might have had the sense to take a breather in the next round he might have gotten a bit of a second wind and lasted a few more before being stopped in the 10th or 11th or something. I'm not sure if Ali had enough left to lay a continued beat down on him, it was more like cover up let foreman tire himself out and then throw a couple, if george survived the 8th and then stopped throwing (other than the odd jab) it would have been interesting anyway. (unlikely scenario btw just throwing it out there) |

Ali set up young George then closed the show when he saw George falling over himself when he punched!! Ali is never talked about as a great closer but thats exactly what he was!! When he got someone in trouble he is one of the best closers in any division!
Beating a 24yr old Big George Foreman was considered an incredible win for Ali considering Georges dismissle of all his opponents to date!! .......Ali Ali Ali Ali..........................THE Greatest of ALL TIME!!!! Ray. |

Because the referee is in a better position than we are to determine if a fighter is fit to continue. Just because a fighter isn't staggering doesn't mean he's ready to keep fighting. This happens in hundreds of fights. There was obviously something about Foreman that said "I'm done".
Nothing controversial about this. Foreman got KO'd, end of story. Similar to what happened to Taylor against Chavez: Taylor was done and the official exercised his discretion. Last edited by SBleeder; 01-04-2013 at 09:54 AM. |

Yeah both good stoppages. Taylor only should've been allowed to continue if he would've responded. Since he didn't, Steele really had no choice. Too bad as Meldrick was so close, I always felt bad for him after that when I would hear about him, especially after seeing what became of him on Legendary Nights. I guess he never really had that career defining win?
This one was obvious. Actually though, I always thought this was a TKO win for Ali, not a KO, so the ref actually counted to 10 before Foreman got up? Either way, Foreman was done. He might have been able to continue, but it didn't seem like he wanted to, Ali not only beat Foreman physically, but mentally, as has been said countless times before. But this is technically a KO right, not a TKO, Ali/Foreman? |

Breakfast pizza used to be a culinary anomaly that evoked slight surprise and memories of soggy mornings after. But consumers are coming to embrace the idea of something hot, flat and crispy in the morning, and if it's couched in the guise of a dinnertime favorite, all the better. According to Datassential, pizza is now on 5 percent of the breakfast menus of the chain and independent restaurants it tracks, with the highest penetration in casual-dining restaurants. The item appears ...

Boulevard's experimental pink beer hits Kansas City stores Tuesday
No, those aren't rose-colored beer glasses. Hibiscus Gose, Boulevard's new sour wheat beer, really is pink.
The beer, which begins distribution in Kansas City on Tuesday, gets its rosy hue from dried hibiscus flowers added during the brewing process. The recipe —which also incorporates sea salt and coriander — is modeled after a style that originated in Goslar, Germany, in the late 1800s.
Hibiscus Gose ("Gose" is pronounced Gose-uh) is the second in Boulevard's experimental Backroads Beers series. It follows Entwined Ale, a beer brewed with grape juice.
At 4.2 percent alcohol by volume, Hibiscus Gose is pretty light, so it's a good match for hot August weather.
Craving heavier fall beers already? Next week Boulevard releases Bob's '47 Oktoberfest, a fall seasonal with medium body and toasted malt flavor. Both Bob's '47 and Hibiscus Gose should be available through October.

90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord stepped out for a stroll with her actor boyfriend Dominic Purcell recently and the sexy star looked hot to trot. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, looked more like her father suffering a Freddie Mercury wannabe mid life crisis.
24 year old AnnaLynne looked stunning, showing that you do not always need to wear makeup and fancy dresses to look good.
McCord was not afraid to go without make up and simply wore jeans and a plaid shirt, which she knotted in the middle to reveal her tiny toned wasteline.
Meanwhile, 41 year old Dominic sported a Freddie Mercury style moustache, while wearing a plain white shirt and scruffy jeans. A far cry from AnnaLynne's previous boyfriend, the clean cut Kellan Lutz. AnnaLynne McCord can be seen on 90210 when season three premieres on September 13.

The convergent and divergent validity of the Matson Evaluation of Drug Side-effects (MEDS) and the Dyskinesia Identification System: Condensed User Scale (DISCUS). | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19039694 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Medication side-effects such as tardive dyskinesia (TD) are known to occur in individuals with a history of psychotropic drug use. This study aimed to contribute to the development of measures for assessing TD by examining the validity of the Matson Evaluation of Drug Side-effects (MEDS) with the Dyskinesia Identification System: Condensed User Scale (DISCUS) in 163 adults with intellectual disability (ID). METHOD: To establish convergent validity, the relationship between the MEDS and the DISCUS in identifying TD was examined. To establish divergent validity, the ability of the MEDS to differentiate between TD and other side-effects was investigated. RESULTS: The MEDS demonstrated convergent validity with the DISCUS on the Central Nervous System--Parkinsonism/Dyskinesia (CNS-PD) Subscale. The MEDS showed divergent validity with the DISCUS in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal side-effects, Parkinsonism symptoms (i.e., tremor, mask-like face), dystonia, and akathisia. DISCUSSION: The MEDS appears to have significant clinical utility in measuring tardive dyskinesia and other medication side-effects in individuals with ID. |

My niece Tess came over to help me out with a little photo lighting project, and the result was this fun, cozy, fuzzy-warm holiday photo.
I probably should have included this yesterday when I originally posted the photo, but my lighting experiment was inspired by an interview I did for work with photographer and author Nick Kelsh.
Here's a video with a tutorial on how to build a lightbox that creates that glowy effect when you turn off the flash (and please amateur photographers, turn off that flash):
Nick Kelsh's A Christmas Card from Nick Kelsh on Vimeo.
All you need is a box, a string of Christmas lights, a hanger and some aluminum foil. Genius.
Here's the story I wrote.

I had a fashion flashback today when the team over at "Equipment" pointed out that the python blouse we have on the site is very "Almost Famous." It inspired me to do an entire post on one of the best movies of all time, and one of the best fashion era's too. The 1970's were all about free spirit, ease and effortlessness. Flowy tops, wide leg jeans and maxi dresses were a must have staple for every hipsters closet. The key to pulling off 70's style is to own the look & don't let the clothes wear you. Mix and match fringe with fur, floral with pops of color and don't forget to always have a pair of cut off jean shorts handy. "Almost Famous" style is beyond perfect for any music festivals that you have to go to, or lazy days at the beach.

I used the digital camera for two projects this year. I took profile black and white photos of my fifth graders to aid in painting self-portraits. Third grade set up individual still lifes and took a digital photo for monochromatic paintings. I should have samples on my website as soon as my helper teacher gets them all posted. Janet

My remix of Nero's remix of Hall and Oates Out of Touch.
A remix of a remix, hmm ok... Enjoy.
A song made in about two days.
Please give feedback, since this is my sort of first remix, kinda.
I don't know what genre this is so I put it under trance, could be dubstep, could be DnB, could be techno, I just don't know.
Thank you.
Made using Magix Music Maker MX with Vita, Revolta and Beatbox.

ZS - Unregistered September 08, 2010 10:51 PM Binza. You have to remember though at knockhill 2 BMW's where missing due to one of the Forster motor sport cars getting destroyed at Silverstone, next round there will be more cars again. 0 agree 1 disagree
fagin September 08, 2010 11:01 PM Season close at silverstone all we need now are the night races back and were sorted Reply Report abuse 1 agree 0 disagree
jimmy mac - Unregistered September 09, 2010 7:33 AM What a dreadful calendar, one event in 11 weeks June to September. Clashes should be the least of Mr Gows concerns BTCC really is on its last legs a few pros but the rest couldnt drive a bus, WGAF. 7 agree 3 disagree
mb - Unregistered September 09, 2010 8:21 AM Good grief Binza you really cannot count. At Silverstone there were 22 cars, and at Knockhill there were 18 cars in races 1 and 2 and 17 in race 3 due to a broken driveshaft for Kane. At Donington we should be back up to at least 21, maybe more, to me those numbers ain't bad for a series supposedly struggling. 2 agree 2 disagree
mb - Unregistered September 09, 2010 8:25 AM Oh and jimmy mac, if thats your opinion fine, but there are seemingly 20,000-30,000 that go to the various meetings year after year and hundreds of thousands more online and watching it on the tv, so if one fan loses the will to live with it then so what, there are plenty more that enjoy it. 4 agree 1 disagree
jimmy mac - Unregistered September 09, 2010 8:37 AM 20,000 to 30,000, is that a headcount or a bloodcell count. About 150,000 viewers on a good day on ITV 4 is hardly likley to keep sponsor or trade interest. BTCC is firmly in the minority sport category and toitally relies on shunts to keep its declining interest. Just think its run its course and there could be something better, MB you carry on believing the BS 5 agree 4 disagree
StratosFever - Unregistered September 09, 2010 8:51 AM Another 'dead-duck' series - really, the BTCC is surely coming to the end of it's life. Relying on shunts courtesy of Neal and Plato is just pathetic. The cars are boring as well. Add in the 3x20 minute races and it's a shadow of it's former self. How it gets so much TV coverage is a joke.Now compare and contrast with the fire breathing monsters of the DTM. And the proper race distances. 1 agree 5 disagree
Concerned - Unregistered September 09, 2010 11:15 AM Having grown up just down the road from Silverstone my family & i have followed the BTCC since the 70's when the likes of Gerry Marshall raced Dolomites against Ford Capri's driven by Rouse & Spice.I know a lot of manufacturer support has gone(Worldwide recession & all that)but surely they have to try & make this series more interesting & attractive to competitors & paying fans alike or it will just cease to be. 2 agree 0 disagree

Game maker Activision brings hit first-person shooter 'Call of Duty' to Chinese Web usersAP July 5, 2012, 12:36 am TWN NEW YORK -- Activision is bringing its popular "Call of Duty" series to China as a free online game.
Activision Blizzard Inc. said Tuesday that it will publish the game through a partnership with Tencent Holdings Ltd., a Chinese online game company. There is no release date yet, and the contents of the game must still be approved by the Chinese government, as is the case with all games released in the country. The game is being developed in Shanghai specifically for the Chinese market. Players will be able to customize their weapons and characters by purchasing virtual items in the game. Though "Call of Duty" is played on game consoles in Western countries, in China people play games online, in Internet cafes. Consoles like the PlayStation and the Xbox are almost non-existent there.

The Big Bang is worth big bucks
By Jim Rendon
WHEN THE PHONE rings at the Y2K Expo office, Justin Smith answers, "Hello, Rubber Stamp Affair." With only 43 days left till the odometer rolls over to 2000, chaos, gloom and doom have become a hard sell, Smith says. The bottom has fallen out of the Y2K convention business and the company has moved on to a more lucrative market: rubber stamps.
Though this company's April exposition at the San Jose Convention Center was sparsely attended, Smith says that Y2K Expo has actually been a solid business, sponsoring more events than the salesman can remember. The company brought in speakers who hype the disaster scenarios associated with total computer meltdown, and vendor booths filled with the latest in dried food and solar stoves. Up till now, he says, the apocalypse has sold well.
Y2K Expo is but one tiny piece of the international money machine created by the millennium bug and the cascading predictions that have followed. So many people are buying new computers that for the first time, PCs are getting more, not less, expensive. Local computer consultants say they can't keep up with the clamor for new Y2K compliant systems.
The web is thick with Y2K counselors for every need. Speakers well-versed in the habits of the millennium bug can bring in up to $15,000 an engagement. Peter de Jager, who molded himself into a nationally recognized doomsday soothsayer, has co-authored a book, testified before Congress and may earn $1 million this year. (Perhaps not surprisingly, his bio is completely silent on what he did before Y2K became a problem.)
The impending disaster has spawned more products than a George Lucas movie, though, granted, none quite as cuddly. There is Y2Cake, Y2K rations, Millennium the beanie baby bear and www.cluby2k.com, where survivalists can buy five-pound sacks of wheat, salt mills and hand-crank grinders.
Hundreds of Y2K books have hit the market in the handful of years since the acronym bubbled up through America's linguistic swamp. The self-help-style tomes offer all kinds of advice, from the sensible words Mom might offer--keep extra water and a pair of clean underwear on hand--to the freakish ramblings of the uncle that you were always warned to stay away from--buy guns, a water purifier and a kit to make your own jerky, and bury it all in the desert.
Y2K interest is so high on Amazon.com that the online store created a separate millennium shop last year. Though Amazon does not disclose sales figures, Emily Glassman, an Amazon spokesperson, says the online shopping site saw a big spike in Y2K interest at the beginning of the year, and though it has waned recently, customers are still buying plenty of survival guides and computer-fix-it books.
But the good times are almost over. On Jan. 2, many of those books will wind up in the recycling bin. And many companies that made a killing on Y2K are themselves beginning to look obsolete. Brian Graney, a writer with the online personal investment service Motley Fool, says the Y2K fix-it companies have tanked.
"In early 1998 the silver-bullet companies' [Y2K fix-it businesses] stock was going crazy," he says. "But now, most of the upgrades have been made." Stock that was once selling for $15 or $20 a share is now worth only $2 or $3 a share. There's just not much for them to do anymore. Wall Street has lost interest and is off trolling for the next big thing.
And Smith may be positioned well for the next millennium. If his apocalyptic vision of Jan. 1 is correct, that next big thing may indeed be rubber stamps.

What were you doing when you were 21-years-old? Most answers probably have something to do with a bar and shotgunning beers. For Islanders star John Tavares, he's trying to help the players find labor peace with the owners.
Michael Grange of Sportsnet hears from Tavares about the role he's trying to play in helping put together a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
"I'm one of the young guys but I'm trying to be one of the leaders and play a big role and be someone that guys can look up to and ask questions," he said after participating in nine hours of meetings at a Chicago hotel Tuesday, going over everything from the association's internal finances to negotiating strategies they plan to take to the NHL. "With (the Islanders) we have a pretty young team so it's important for us to be involved and aware of what's happening."
Are we sure he's 21? That's spoken like a guy wise beyond his years.
Tavares says he wants to play a role in things because he remembers being a bummed out kid in 2004-05 when the NHL locked out the players, killing a season in the process. Making sure to not be part of something like that is pretty good motivation to get it right. Then again, things are different when you're on the other side of the fence.
- RoseTintedVisor - Jun 27, 2012 at 10:59 AM
John Tavares' magical hands will solve this crisis.
- kingfooj - Jun 27, 2012 at 11:17 AM
now THAT is what you call future-captain-material
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Jun 27, 2012 at 11:40 AM
He's Canadian. He's helping to find labour peace.
- bcisleman - Jun 27, 2012 at 11:45 AM
Hope all those folks who were seriously suggesting Isles would give away all their picks to get a future captain in Ryan Murray read this. This is the guy who took the "chalkboard" out of Coach Capuano's hands late in the season as Cappy tried to diagnose a play to tie the game. A good team has a number of players in leadership roles, but only one captain. The future captain of the Isles is John Tavares.
- lostpuppysyndrome - Jun 27, 2012 at 3:47 PM
Makes you feel bad for Tavares and the rest of the guys who are a part of that sorry sad-sack organization. At least Milbury is gone.
- jl9830 - Jun 28, 2012 at 5:25 AM
Milbury has been gone ten years. If you clearly don't follow the team, stop bashing it.
- lostpuppysyndrome - Jun 28, 2012 at 1:23 PM
Yes sir, sorry sir

Improvements and Concealex shipping
Continued thanks and appreciation for all you guys who have bought my Cradles! I just finished another run of CONCEALEX, much more interest in the carbon fiber look-alike material than the KYDEX. New casting tooling has helped me improve fit and finish and I now use all aluminum backing reinforcements which are completely countersunk for mounting bolts. New pics posted at first post in this thread. Beaky the Buzzard is hopeful the improvements will go far to keep cradles doing their jobs, and Adventure Buzzards on track with the GPS's in the cockpits. Here's what comes with the cradle - without any RAM equipment (customer supplies their own RAM mounts) Look for Stovey out on the trail and at ADVRider events, dualsport rides and elsewhere during the upcoming 2010 riding season. If you see my logo, honk, beep, throw a rock -give me a roost, just say "HI!" I'll be out there....

Broad-leaved Linden (Tilia platyphyllos)
Tree, deciduous broadleaf
Origin : Europe, Southwest of Asia
Environment : moist forests, from sea level to 1.200 m.
Climate : mild
Notes :
Often found in mixed woods with Hornbeam, Elms, Oaks and Common Ash, the Broad-Leaved Linden is not the most diffused European linden, because it needs a more humid soil. It also blooms some weeks sooner than the others. It is cultivated by honey producers because the flowers are very much appreciated by bees.
Model 1 specs: 20 meters
Model 2 specs: 12.5 meters
Model 3 specs: 5 meters
