Commissioner is a title far too limiting for David Stern.
He has been part comedian, part dictator, part visionary, part man on a mission, and there's nothing Ron Artest's fists, Gilbert Arenas' guns or Allen Iverson's wardrobe could possibly do to stop him.
In his 30 years as the NBA's top boss, which will end with his Feb. 1 retirement, Stern has shown he almost always knows what he's doing. One of his first acts as commissioner in the summer of 1984 was to try to terminate the Clippers' franchise after it moved from San Diego to Los Angeles without league approval.
His efforts failed, of course, but he made up for it more than two decades later by essentially giving the team Chris Paul.
Stern has his reasons, basketball and otherwise, and they've usually proved to make sense for a league with top franchises valued at more than $1 billion.
Along the way to building a global empire, Stern gave the impression he was having as much fun as any superstar player or courtside superfan.
Stern has traded barbs with TV personality Jim Rome, elicited laughter from booing draft-day crowds and entertained millions by appearing in an ESPN commercial alongside Tracy McGrady and Wally Szczerbiak.
In the ad, former ESPN anchor Dan Patrick bangs on the bathroom door of a house he presumably shares with McGrady, waiting for him to wrap things up. When McGrady exits and Patrick chides him for lingering, Szczerbiak slips into the bathroom and Patrick is left to dryly tell an approaching Stern, toothbrush in hand, that "there's a line."
As silly as it may have seemed at the time, Stern holding a toothbrush was every bit as important to the NBA's success as Magic Johnson leading a fastbreak or Michael Jordan rising for a game-winning jumper.
Stern merged the realms of entertainment and sports like no commissioner before him, often blurring the lines to fans' delight. Paradoxically, it seemed, he also instituted a dress code for players that made the game more palatable to corporate types who pay $50 for valet parking. And he got tough with perceived thugs such as Artest and Arenas, handing down lengthy suspensions amid their indiscretions in the name of image control.
Somehow, it all worked. Tremendously.
"He deserves a lot of credit for leading us through the great recession, a period where we had some player image problems, some franchise turnover," Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wrote in an email. "Those were not easy things to overcome and his leadership was key to putting the NBA in a position where I believe that in the near future every franchise will have a billion-dollar-plus valuation."
It's getting there quickly. According to Forbes, the average NBA franchise is worth $634 million, up 25% from last year, with the New York Knicks valued at a league-high $1.4 billion and the Lakers a close second at $1.35 billion.
Contrast that with 1984, when Forbes estimated that the league's then-23 teams were worth a combined $400 million in Stern's first year on the job. At the time, the league was only a few years removed from Finals games being shown on tape delay.
Now regular-season games are broadcast live in 215 countries, and the NBA's 1,200 employees (up from 24 in Stern's first year) reside in 15 offices spread over a dozen countries.
The league featured a record 92 international players on its opening-night rosters and even mid-level players such as the Lakers' Nick Young are now widely recognized abroad, as evidenced by a Chinese fan yelling his nickname during a preseason trip to Shanghai.
Things have changed just a bit from 1978, when Mitch Kupchak traveled to Tel Aviv as a member of the defending NBA champion Washington Bullets.
"You were just another tall person," recalled Kupchak, now Lakers general manager. "You kind of had to reintroduce yourself and say who you were, where you were from, that you were from the Washington Bullets.
"You walk around with a Lakers jersey on now and anyone knows who you are in this world."
Stern has long known what it's like to be recognized, even before becoming the longest-serving commissioner in major U.S. pro sports. He was a familiar face throughout NBA front offices after negotiating the first salary cap and helping to formulate a landmark drug-testing policy as league counsel in the early 1980s under Commissioner Larry O'Brien.

Over the past week I've been getting massive problems when gaming online with iRacing. I get halfway through a race and then I get kicked due to packet loss.
I did some ping tests and sure enough im losing between 2-5% of the total packets that were sent. This has made online gaming nearly impossible.
Any help to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated

Hi Jammydogerman,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. Is the problem affecting any other part of the connection? Can you run a speed test at www.speedtester.bt.com and post the results? Can you also run a tracert and post the results of that as well? That will give us an idea of what's going on.

The author is a well respected and well known clinician and researcher. He is a leading authority in EMDR treatment and training, and this guide more than demonstrates that.
Features: Although this is a basic guide and manual, the author presents a substantial amount of information which clearly leaves readers more confident in their understanding of EMDR after reading this book. He aptly presents the how and why of trauma and trauma treatment and then delves into the role that EMDR plays. Readers are walked through the initial meeting with the client to closure, with appropriate discussions of how to handle the bumps in the road. Many clinicians will appreciate the chapter on EMDR for children and adolescents as well as the chapter on challenging cases.
Assessment: This is the essential guide for learning and mastering the basics of EMDR. It is required reading for all clinicians who use EMDR in their practice.

A motion that would have ordered the City of Santa Clarita to increase the amount of compensation on deposit in an eminent domain/condemnation case involving property in the Centre Pointe area was denied by a Superior Court judge today in downtown Los Angeles.
The lawsuit, filed in 2001, alleges that the city unfairly developed land to extend Golden Valley Parkway and has been dragging through the court system for the last nine years.
The trial began in November 2005 and was completed Dec. 27 of that year. At that time, a judgment in favor of the defendants – all 21, plus their 15 attorneys – was handed down.
In April 2006, a motion for a new trial was filed with the court and the case continued its slow pace through the system. On Jan. 13, a surreply was filed by the City, with the resolution expected today.
According to a court spokesperson, the motion to increase the compensation was argued, but denied by the judge. No date was set for another hearing.

Interviewing Sue Townsend was as delightful as reading her Adrian Mole books
Published on Apr 11, 2014 8:20 PM
I was 11 when I first read The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾ by Sue Townsend. It was encouraging to read about his agonising over pimples and how to attract the opposite sex, but appalling to discover he thought he could rhyme "Pandora" with "adore ya" in a poem to his girlfriend.
Nevertheless, I devoured both that book and the sequel, The Growing Pains Of Adrian Mole. It would be five years before I realised Sue Townsend was not a pseudonym, another five before I returned to the rest of the series and delighted in Adrian Mole's continuing adventures. Of course I was not as pessimistic or unlucky as he was, but his worries about career, finding the right partner, then taking on a mortgage for his house, all struck chords.
I grew along with Adrian Mole even as he surpassed me, becoming a parent (Adrian Mole And The Weapons Of Mass Destruction, 2004) and then sending his son off to war (Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years, 2009). When I was lucky enough to be offered a phone interview with Sue Townsend in 2012, I delightedly stayed awake until midnight, counting the hours until I could call her home in Leicester and politely ask when the next Mole outing might be.
I will never forget the half hour that followed. The writer was clearly tired, possibly because it was tea-time for her, possibly because of the diabetes which put her in a wheelchair and eroded her sight. But once she figured out I was not one of her son's girlfriends, we had a lovely chat about everything from her belief in gender equality at home - as a working single mother, she made her teenage sons do the ironing and cook meals at home - to what the formerly avid reader did for fun since being declared legally blind in 2001.
"I like to watch real people on TV," she confessed. "There's real, genuine, human emotion. I like to see people who are below the radar, people who are forgotten about. A lot of people watch it and sneer and laugh at how stupid they are. It's just because they haven't been educated. I'm just interested in that whole class of people who've been deprived, in a way."
Education was incredibly important to her, child of a factory canteen worker and a postman who proudly worked on a prototype jet engine until his factory folded. She left school at 15 to earn her own living, married three years later and then did all sorts of jobs including working at a youth centre to keep her three young kids alive.
The idea of a teen diarist was catharsis for her, a way to laugh at the frustrations of her young children who could not understand why they were being denied the vacations and treats their classmates took for granted. She had to laugh or she would cry.
The self-proclaimed "militant optimist" never forgot where she had come from. Her Adrian Mole would always long after but never marry his first love, Pandora, who had money and class. Similarly, he would never acknowledge his working class girlfriend Sharon.
Adrian Mole was how she gently reminded herself and readers of flaws in society. He would continue to help her vent - Adrian's friend Nigel went blind as she did. At the end of our conversation, she told me that she was working on a new Adrian Mole book, one in which he became a grandfather, just as she delighted in her 10 grandchildren.
"I've made him sexier as well. He's taken Pandora's advice, he's not wearing pastels," she said, refusing to tell me more.
Adrian Mole And The Secret Of Pandora's Box will be published by the Penguin Group in October 2015. I am looking forward to it not only because I enjoyed the rest of the series. Reading it will remind me of one of the most delightful conversations I have had with an author and remind me that I can continue it any time I pick up one of her books.

oars over a motor?
after a little over a year, I''ve used my motor once every time I went out, with one exception.
In normal conditions, I use it to power directly upwind from the tip of my finger of docks, aproximatley 150 feet.
In Santa Ana''s I use it to power that same 150 feet out of my dock (which is then directly upwind)
the exception: After letting my father take the helm as I went below, I used it to get us off the rocks. =(
But yes, that is a very valid point, and I will definatley be testing out my rowing/sculling situation before I decide to let my beautifull little 2hp honda go.
As for Josie, She sails (slowly, but with directional control) in 3 knots true.

CLEVELAND — As an annual source of inspiration and expert advice, the 65th annual National City Home & Garden Show returns to the I-X Center in Cleveland Feb. 2 to 10 to showcase the region's finest landscaping architects and the latest home trends and design innovations.
With three walk-through model homes, nearly 30 blooming garden displays and six seminar stages, America's largest home and garden show is not just a show — it's a destination, according to organizers. Live entertainment, interior design showcases, a "green" living pavilion and daily cooking demonstrations are captured within 20 sprawling indoor acres. Hundreds of thousands of visitors annually attend the nine-day event for its high-end exhibits, accessible expert advice and sophisticated project ideas.
As a testament to the show's longevity and mass appeal, 2008 marks National City's 12th year as the Home & Garden Show title sponsor.
"We couldn't be more proud and excited to once again host this year's National City Home and Garden Show," said Paul Clark, president of National City Northern Ohio Banking. "We look forward to seeing some amazing indoor and outdoor home improvement ideas, along with exhibits inspired by the rich traditions of Italy. And it's great to see that 'Think Green' will again be a focus this year, sharing with us simple and low cost ways to save money and protect our environment. But the best part of the National City Home and Garden Show? All these fantastic ideas and resources are made accessible and available for everyone who visits."
This year's theme, "Bella Italia," will transport guests to Beautiful Italy and pay tribute to the horticulture and heritage of the popular Mediterranean country. The pulse of Italy will be felt the moment guests enter the Show. The spectacular sight of budding Italian gardens, the camaraderie of Little Italy businesses in the Piazza and the aroma of Italian cuisine beckoning from The Bistro will warmly welcome guests.
For more photos, visit the gallery on ReflectorCam 2.0 at on this Web site. This link will take you there; http://reflectorcam.norwalkreflector.com/pages/gallery.php?gallery=476.
To capture the true gusto and essence of Italy, the Home & Garden Show worked closely with members of the Northern Ohio Italian American Foundation (NOIA), which played an integral role in the show's meticulous planning efforts that spanned more than seven months.
"NOIA offered invaluable insight about the deep-rooted passion and pride that resonates among the local Italian community," said Chris Fassnacht, show president. "That knowledge will result in a visually stunning and truly authentic Italian tribute for the thousands of guests who will attend this year's Show."
In addition to an Italian tribute, this year also brings exciting modifications to the Show itself. The Home & Garden Show will expand its array of interior design offerings by 60 percent. The new Boulevard Idea Design Center will offer innovative decorating concepts and an exciting opportunity for a free one-on-one design consultation. The newly combined Interior Design & Home Improvement Stage allows for a larger range of seminar topics while making room for a new Green Pavilion seminar stage. After its debut in 2007, a larger, more comprehensive Green Pavilion will address today's flourishing green building movement.
The Home & Garden Show will once again team up with Rosby Resource Recycling in Brooklyn Heights to strengthen its sustainable business plan and decrease its overall "waste stream." The ongoing efforts to reuse Show materials, divert waste from crowded landfills and maximize recycling efforts are part of the Show's proactive and ongoing green mindset.
The Home & Garden Show will officially open to the public Saturday, Feb. 2 following a 9:45 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony in the Italian-themed Entry Feature Garden. The Italian Consulate as well as local dignitaries will be on hand, while the legendary Rocco Scotti performs the Italian and U.S. National Anthems.
With more than 900 home improvement vendors and garden exhibitors, the following highlight some of the attractions and features at this year's show:
‹ The magnificence and versatility of waterfront living will be showcased on the Boulevard of Homes. Whether you desire a second home or a recreational retreat, the Boulevard of Homes will showcase three walk-through model homes. Gather building ideas or fresh decorating tips from the 2,000-square-foot cape chalet home as well as two very unique floating homes. The Boulevard will be professionally landscaped to include calm lake waters, an outdoor stone fireplace, lush plant materials and decorative rocks all installed by Rock Bottom Landscaping in Valley City.
‹ The Plain Dealer "Inside & Out" Designer Showcase features eight different rooms with eight unique decorating styles. The spaces are designed and installed by professional designers from across Northeast Ohio. Take home decorating ideas for more rooms than ever before, including a bathroom, a dressing suite and a breakfast room.
‹ Think Outside the Box! That's the philosophy behind the new Boulevard Idea Design Center — five distinct spaces plus a free consultation area meant to inspire guests to do more than just look and dream. The professionals at Interior Design Outlet Centre in Warrensville Heights created the unique showcase to encourage homeowners to try different styles, experiment with color and seek out innovative design solutions.
‹ A variety of interactive seminars and discussions will take place on the newly combined Interior Design & Home Improvement Stage. Experts from The Home Depot, as well as a host of professional interior designers, will share tips, advice and do-it-yourself solutions.
‹ Lee Snijders, host and designer of HGTV's highest rated reality design show Design on a Dime, will host an "Illusion of Design" seminar Feb. 2 at noon and 3:30 p.m. and Feb. 3 at noon and 2:30 p.m. During the fast paced, high-energy seminar, Snijders will discuss a variety of topics including his philosophy on "Breaking the Rules of Design."
‹ Northeastern Ohio is home to many green businesses and energy-efficient resources. The Cleveland Green Building Coalition will spearhead this year's larger, more comprehensive Green Pavilion. Everything that impacts sustainable living including travel, fashion, food, home and waste will be highlighted by nearly two-dozen organizations. Children's activities, an eco-fashion show and a variety of educational material will be available. Plus, a new seminar stage featuring business owners, builders and government officials will speak on a variety of green topics.
‹ The 11th annual Student Model Home Design Contest, sponsored by the Northern Ohio Concrete Homes Association and Schill Architecture, challenges vocational high school students to design an Italian-inspired villa with green building features. The home designs will be judged in 45 separate categories including innovation, energy-conserving features and exterior design. The winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship and all entries will be displayed.
‹ A Renaissance-styled Entry Feature Garden featuring a nearly 12,000-square-foot geometric courtyard design will instantly transport guests to "Bella Italia." Don Mould's Plantation of North Ridgeville will design and install the massive tribute garden. The landscaper collaborated with Petitti Garden Centers in Cleveland regarding the selection of plant materials and specific design elements. A majestic spraying fountain stands in the center of the courtyard with blasts of water shooting upwards of eight feet before landing in a reflection pool. Thirty-two grand cypress trees shipped in from Oregon tower upwards of 15 feet and surround the garden's perimeter. Gracefully perched upon granite pedestals are five-foot tall statues of St. Anthony, the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph with Child and the Risen Christ. Compliments of Milano Monuments in Cleveland, each statue will anchor the courtyard's four quadrants and represents the four main Italian parishes in Northeast Ohio. Each of the white granite statues are surrounded by dwarf alberta spruce, white hyacinth, pink cyclamen and lush patches of bright green grass. A rugged, old-world styled walkway constructed of exposed aggregate by Suburban Cement in Olmsted Falls is framed with Roman stone columns and short stucco walls. A manicured landscape featuring clusters of olive and citrus trees encompasses the entire courtyard. About 2,000 hyacinths and cyclamen in a rainbow of hues offer fragrances that sweetly linger upon exiting the courtyard.
‹ Seventeen Celebrity Gardens, presented by Soft Rock 102.1-FM WDOK, will be designed and installed by the area's premier landscape professionals. The annual competition, judged by the Ohio Landscaping Association, produces high caliber landscape designs that honor local celebrities from various local media outlets. Prizes will be awarded in multiple categories including "Best Hardscape," "Best use of Color" and "People's Choice Award."
‹ To help gardening gurus get inspired for the spring thaw, 4,000 square-feet of floor space is dedicated to the latest plant and garden accessories from Petitti Garden Centers. Browse through statues, fresh plant materials, lawn tools, patio furniture and gardening gadgets while horticulture specialists from Petitti's answer questions and offer helpful tips.
‹ The Gardening Stage is a collaborative effort between the horticulture experts at Petitti Garden Centers, Cleveland Botanical Garden and Holden Arboretum. Get prepared for spring with intriguing discussions and helpful "how to" demonstrations led by knowledgeable gardening enthusiasts. Certified Master Gardener Linda Cobb will share her knowledge about window boxes and container gardens February 2 and 3 only. Throughout the nine-day Show, educational discussions will range from lawn care and floral arrangements to growing orchids and installing a pond.
‹ During the Closing Night Plant Sale, Home & Garden Show on Feb. 10, guests have the opportunity to purchase items directly from the landscapers who designed the spectacular indoor garden features. The exclusive cash and carry event takes place from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
‹ Two long standing Cleveland institutions, Cleveland Botanical Garden and Cleveland Magazine, will team up to bring a 1,500 square-foot Italian garden experience to the I-X Center. Escape into the "via florum" (flowering way) framed by simple geometrically shaped beds with pockets of color. As guests look off in the distance, a vista to a forest is purposely dotted with sculpture as if left there by early civilization. Experience the scent of citrus trees and other sweet smelling intoxicants of a Mediterranean-inspired landscape. A proliferation of fountains guides guests out of the magnificent garden. Bellissimo!
That's ITALIAN
‹ Adjacent to the Entry Feature Garden is a 2,000-square-foot Italian Marketplace & Piazza designed to highlight Northeast Ohio's influential Italian-American history and population. In addition to local businesses from Cleveland's own Little Italy, social clubs, food establishments and local parishes will share their warm Italian culture with Home & Garden Show guests. Memorable antiques including the 1948 Orlando Baking Company delivery truck, a twin set of 1950 Vespas and a classic 1971 Fiat will further add to the Piazza's authentic flair.
‹ Throughout the nine-day Show, a variety of live Italian entertainment is scheduled to perform in The Bistro. Guests will enjoy 12-year old singing sensation Gina Martini, strolling accordion player Dennis DeSapri and an opera performance by Andrea Anelli. Anthony & Valerie, a husband and wife duo with a U.S. Accordion Championship title to their name, will energize The Bistro. Dressed in festive costumes, I Gagliardi Italiani will keep the prideful Italian culture alive through energetic song and dance.
‹ Bocce ball matches will take place to raise funds for the maintenance and beautification of the Italian garden located among The Cleveland Cultural Gardens in University Circle. Stop by The Bistro to get in on a game! A timed 20-minute match is $5 per person or $10 for a four-person team. Home Family Club, along with the Italian-American Clubs in Wickliffe and Solon, will facilitate this worthy fundraiser. The three Italian clubs will play exhibition games during both weekends of the Show.

"These invitations surpassed my expectations. Customization was easy. I made them into picnic invitations. The ink is consistent and the design is printed well. The card stock is nice and heavy. I am placing another order today for a different party!"
"The invitations were beautifully made!!! The customer service representative was VERY polite and answered any and all questions I had regarding my order..they arrived right on time and we LOVED them!!!!"
"Used for my daughters first bday party invites. Very nice quality. A touch smaller in size than I'd imagined, but should have read the details more closely. overall, great purchase."
"The only mistake I made was not paying attention to the size of the invitation. The diameters were listed but I didn't look until I received them and noticed they were smaller then I would have liked them to be. Overall the quality is excellent."
"My daughter loved this invitation for her party. At 14 she wanted something that was sophisticated but not stuffy. IT was perfect and set the tone for the decorations. The quality of tiny prints products is very good. We use them for almost all our stationery needs. Highly recommend this particular product for a teen party."

5.0 out of 5 stars Most convincing case for evolution I've read,
Rodge (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Why Evolution Is True (Paperback)
I'm no scientist, and I'm of a background sympathetic to intelligent design. From my point of view, Coyne's book is the most convincing and best written option for proving the case for evolution. He effectively starts from the best evidence, creating a firm foundational case before moving to areas where there are more questions, or in the case of human evolution, where the greatest controversy lies.
Coyne dismisses creationist arguments, but he avoids belittling religious beliefs or the values that might cause people to resist the case for evolution. Therefore, this is a book to give a creationist interested in seeing the best opposing arguments (better than Dawkins' "Greatest Show on Earth"), or to someone who is wavering on the edge, just needing a little more convincing. Obviously a dyed-in-the-wool creationist won't read it.
The story that's outlined here is truly astonishing and awe-inspiring, and hardly diminishes anyone's avenues for exploration. Some people think this is a non-magical explanation of origins, but to my way of thinking, natural selection is magic, considering its power to shape and create species, at least as outlined here. Just because you can invoke "natural selection" doesn't mean that you understand what it is. Anymore than invoking "God" increases understanding.
Anyway, a wonderful book that will give me much to think about in the future. At least I know what evolution really teaches, as opposed to some caricatured variation alleged by a dishonest creationist.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CREATIONIST'S NIGHTMARE,
Stephen Pletko "Uncle Stevie" (London, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
"Darwin looked beyond the obvious, suggesting--and supporting with copious evidence--two ideas that forever dispelled the idea of deliberate design. Those ideas were evolution [genetic change in populations, often producing changes in observable traits of organisms over time] and natural selection [see below]...[His book] "On the Origin of Species" [first edition published 1859] turned the mysteries of life's diversity [on Earth] from mythology [and the supernatural] into genuine science...
I hope you're convinced [after reading my book] that evolution is far more than a scientific theory...We've looked at evidence from many areas [such as:]
(1) the fossil record
(2) biogeography [the study of the distribution of animals and plants on the Earth`s surface]
(3) embryology [the branch of biology dealing with the formation and development of embryos]
(4) vestigial structures [a structure that is the evolutionary remnant of an earlier structure once useful in an ancestral species but that is no longer useful in the same way]
(5) suboptimal design [imperfect design is the mark of evolution and is, in fact, expected from evolution. The idea of perfect design is an illusion]...
[A]ll of that evidence show[s], without a [trace] of a doubt, that organisms have evolved. And its not just small "microevolutionary" changes either: we've seen new species form, both in real time and in the fossil record and we've found transitional forms ["missing links"] between major groups, such as whales and land animals. We've observed natural selection in action, and have every reason to [logically infer] that it can produce complex organisms and features."
The above comes from this fascinating book by Jerry Coyne who has been a professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Ecology and Evolution for the past twenty years (where he specializes in evolutionary genetics and the origin of new species).
This book can be thought of as a modern, easy-to-read, and extremely evidence-based book that explains in modern terms Darwin's magnum opus, "On the Origin of Species." Thus, it's all here and explained clearly in a well-written narrative the essential processes and mechanisms of evolution:
(1) Adaptation: a change in structure, function, or form that improves the chance of survival for an animal or plant within a given environment. Example: the flowers of plants are adaptations to attract pollinators (like bees).
(2) Macroevolution: major evolutionary change where there is large changes in body form or the evolution of one type of animal or plant from another type. Example: the change from our primate ancestor to modern humans.
(3) Microevolution: minor evolutionary changes, such as the change in size or colour of a species. Example: evolution of different skin colours or hair types among human populations.
(4) Speciation: the evolution of new populations that are reproductively isolated from other populations.
(5) Natural Selection: process by which those individuals of a particular species with characters that help them to become adapted to their specific environment tend to leave more offspring and transmit their characters, while those less able to become adapted tend to leave fewer offspring or die out, so that after many generations there is usually a progressive tendency in that species to a greater degree of adaptation.
(6) Mutation: a small change in DNA.
(7) Genetic drift: a random change in gene (a segment of DNA) frequency within a population, resulting in mutations which, regardless of their adaptive value, become fixed within that population.
The last chapter of this book explains, among other things, why we still have people that say, "I find all the evidence for evolution very convincing--but I still don't believe it." I found this chapter to be well thought out.
Which brings up a question. Who is this book written for? Answer: For those who are uncertain about explanations of life's diversity. It is also written for those who want a good, comprehensive review of evolution with new, startling evidence. It is NOT written for those who do not value evidence, observation, logic, reason, and rationality.
Peppered throughout this book are illustrations that make the written narrative yet more easier to understand. And there is an glossary of essential terms to aid even more in understanding.
Some people might get the impression from hearing about this book that it is out to attack Creationism (and all its types like Intelligent Design). NO. This book's main emphasis is to explain evolution. What the author does do occasionally is to present evidence for some event and then he presents what creationists believe about the same event. This juxtaposition may have the reader saying to himself/herself: "How could anyone believe that?"
Finally, I recommend after reading this book, the excellent, easy-to-understand book "Relics of Eden: The Powerful Evidence of Evolution in Human DNA" (2007) by Daniel J. Fairbanks.
In conclusion, this is a clear, easy-to-understand book (in fact, this book is so easy to read that a caveman/cavewoman can understand it) that shows that evolution has occurred, the evidence is overwhelming, and that no other rational explanation for what we see around us makes sense.
It also explains why the late scientist Carl Sagan stated in his 1980 landmark series "Cosmos" the following:
"Evolution is a fact, not a theory...Natural Selection...makes the music of life more beautiful as the eons pass."

5.0 out of 5 stars This the THE book on the subject,
Bernie Koenig (London, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Natural Law, Science, and the Social Construction of Reality
As a philosopher who has written on evolution, both from a scientific and ethical viewpoints, I found this book to be extremely clear in explaining what evolution is, and what it isn't, and why we all not only should, but MUST accept the truth of evolution.
I have two minor quibbles with the book, quibbles only a philosopher would have. One has to do with the use of the term 'theory' and the other with Coyne's discussion of values in the last chapter.
Coyne is essentially correct in stating that the scientific use of 'theory' is not the same as everyday usage. In science theories explain facts. For example, atomic theory explains why boiled water turns to steam. Evolution is a fact. The evidence is overwhelming. Yet people refuse to accept the truth of evolution by calling it a theory.
As Coyne points out, there are some problems with explaining certain aspects of the evolutionary process, but that, in no way, diminishes the truth of evolution. My minor quibble with his use of the term is that he sometimes uses it a bit imprecisely and sometimes comes close to everyday usage.
The book is set out in 9 self chapters, each presents what is needed to convince the reader of the truth of evolution. And, in the process, he demonstrates the shortcomings and fallacies of anti evolution arguments.
In chapter one he defines what evolution is: "Life on Earth evolved gradually beginning with one primitive species....more than 3.5 billion years ago; it then branched out over time, throwing off many new and diverse species; and the mechanism for mot ( but not all) evolutionary change is natural selection."
Chapter two discusses the fossil record and how the fossil record demonstrates evolution in three ways:
Fossils confirms predictions which arise out of evolutionary theory, transitional forms are in the fossil record where they should be, and the fossil record records major changes.
Chapter three deals with our vestigial organs and how they demonstrate human evolution, as well as how human embryonic development also demonstrates the evolutionary process in humans. In this chapter Coyne also shows how various arguments from design do not hold up.
Chapter four is about how geography influences evolution from the developments of different characteristics of the same specie in different geographical contexts, and how travel to isolated islands can effect the evolution of a species. This leads into a discussion of the effects of environment on evolution.
Chapter five is a detailed discussion of the processes of natural selection and how it works, using a wide variety of examples. Briefly, natural selection involves the adaption of a characteristic which is variable within a species as the color of an animal. Second, some of the variation has to be genetic, and third, the genetic change must improve the animal's ability to leave offspring.
Chapter six about how sexual selection affects evolution. It is through sex that we reproduce, so how sex selects who produces works with natural selection in insuring species survival.
Chapter seven discusses what is meant by 'species.' It was Coyne's teacher Ernst Mayr who came up with the definition still used: a group of interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups." This is called the "biological Species Concept."
And chapter eight finally gets around to human evolution. Coyne again returns to the fossil record and relates some of the history of finding fossils that fill out the human evolutionary chain. In this chapter he also discusses the relationship between humans and our nearest relatives, the chimpanzees. The most interesting aspect of this discussion is that, while we are constantly told that there is only a 1.5% difference in the dna of chimps and humans, Coyne shows how this is misleading and that the differences, when looked at from an amino acid standpoint, since there are hundreds of them, 1% in genetic material may still mean there are hundreds of differences in protein make up of the dna. Thus we are bit farther away from chimps than just 1.5%
And in the final chapter Coyne discusses why people still refuse to believe in evolution. People do want to give up other aspects of how we think about ourselves.
And my final quibble is when Coyne allows that sources such religion can still be used for our values. In this he still adheres to an old view of science where fact and value are separated. But, as I argue in my book, listed above, our understanding of nature implies certain values. In other words, evolution contains a foundation for ethics.
But aside from these minor quibbles, this a is a great book and should convince every reader of the truth of evolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful review of the overwhelming evidence for evolution,
Charles Ethier (Montreal) - See all my reviews
Evolution is a scientific fact.
If that statement troubles you in any way, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
There is no more reason to doubt the Theory of Evolution than there is to doubt the Theory of Gravity.
Darwin first came up with the theory over 150 years ago, but keep in mind that even with the incredible amount of knowledge that has accumulated since then in anthropology (mountains of new fossils), genetics (Darwin knew nothing about DNA), geology (plate tectonics and the movement of continents), and physics (new methods of dating), not a single piece of evidence has contradicted evolution; on the contrary, we just keep finding data to support it.
The realization that in a way the universe has become self-aware through us, is an awe-inspiring and, given the size of the Universe, a humbling experience. It belittles Life to attribute it to magic.
I am proud to know that I am the product of an unbroken line of descendants linking me to the first form of life. Every single one of my ancestors, over the last 3.5 billion years, has managed to survive and reproduce. Awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book for non-scientists and scientists alike!,
Ce commentaire est de: Why Evolution Is True (Paperback)
Amazing, Coyne sums up all of the arguments so cleanly and with as little jargon as possible. Examples are given and the case is made. If you love evolutionary biology (like i do) or are a creationist or non-science person willing to see the incredible amount of irrefutable backing evolution has, this IS the book to read. And its concise, which is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHY EVOLUTION is TRUE,
Jacques Loeb (CANADA) - See all my reviews
In spite of a recent book review in The Economist calling the book "redundant" I consider it to be well written, easy to follow and a necessary wake-up call to those who hide their ignorance and unwillingness to think behind the motto "it's all so difficult so let's have faith in Intelligent Design" because that relieves us of the burden of having to think logically.

The State's first farmer producers company sponsored by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), registered under the Indian Companies Act 1956, came into being at Nachalur village in Karur district on Thursday.
The company has paved the way for farmers turning traders to market their products at a remunerative price. The Nachalur Farmers Producers Company Limited, with a paid up capital of Rs. 9.90 lakh and 120 equity shareholders, aimed to get remunerative price for the farmers even as it strove to provide consumers better quality products at affordable cost. Karur Collector S. Jayandhi handed over the NABARD's sanction letter of Rs. 23 lakh credit to the company for establishing a seed processing unit.
The unit plans to supply quality seeds to farmers to undertake System of Rice Intensification method of paddy cultivation. Ms. Jayandhi, who formally inaugurated the company, said that farmers joining hands to overcome difficult situation was a welcome development that could be replicated all over the State.
With a sense of ownership, the farmers could concentrate on improving their economic condition in a more diverse manner than just raw agriculture.
The State government was always ready to help the farmers improve their revenue generation processes,. Ms. Jayandhi said their transformation from being a farmer to a trader would definitely bestow numerous benefits on them.
The Rs.23-lalk credit would include a grant-in-aid component for purchasing office automation equipment. The company has already bagged the dealership for Nagarjuna Fertilizers and was all set to distribute fertilizers and pesticides to farmers in the region, according to Managing Director G. Karikalan, who himself is a farmer.

I don't know anything about the delta. However, California Canoe & Kayak, located in Jack London Square, rents SUPs. And, on nice days, there are quite a few folks SUP'ing around the Estuary. Also, Oakland has just begun work to connect the
estuary to Lake Merritt
They just
opened up the channel
as well as announcing the
Estuary Waterfront Project
While both projects will take time to complete, these changes will really add to exploring via SUP, canoes, kayaks, etcetera. Or, otherwise put, very kewl stuff ahead.
In the meantime, most of your exploring would be in the estuary proper. And, depending upon tides/winds, you could even paddle down to San Leandro bay, where there are lots of aquatic life (
i.e., sea lions, bat rays, and even a stray dolphin, etc.
). However, that is a very long paddle. As in several miles.

Who is out there?
Communication is huge with me, you have to be able to connect and understand each other. I really believe you need to have somethings in common but also must be open to sharing new things with one another. Having a sense of humor is huge with me. I like to joke around and I love a dry wit. Life is too short to be serious all then time. My career is fairly high presssured so it is nice to take things a bit more lightly during my free time. Intelligence is very attractive in a woman. I love to work out, run. I am at the gym or on the road 6 to 7 days a week. That does not mean I won't forgo a workout to go camping or take a trip or to a museum or just walk on the beach. I like anything cultural....museums, a play....but have no issue with just relaxing at home watching a movie or doing somehing low key. I love to travel; been all over the Pacific, Asia, Australia North African, Southern Europe and the Middle East. I lived in Japan on two occasions...due to my career. Dinner at a great restaurant is always good fun. Warm weather is my thing. Too much effort in cold weather...though a ski trip in or a weekend in a cabin is certainly not out of the question. Just don't want to live anywhere cold. Like to meet someone nice and see where things go from there. It would be great to have someone to share lifes experiences with. How about yourself? What is your story?????
Coffee and conversation , Movies/Videos , Political interests
Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
Don't display my sign
I have Dogs, Exotic Pets
I love Dogs. I like the interaction.
Middle of the Road
Hawaii, CA I am well travelled; been to Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, the Pacific Islands and Australia.
University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC
Books, movies, relaxing in bed on Sunday morning. Going for a nice run. Travelling far and wide. Witty jokes and sarcasm.
You name it and I will try it at least once. I like adventure but am more than content reading a book at Border's. My job keeps me going, so sometimes it is nice to simply relax and watch a movie. I love to workout/run.
Huge reader. Like to read about world events, history, politics.

Matchup: Iowa State Cyclones at No. 5 TCU Horned Frogs
Date/Time: December 6th, 12:00 p.m. ET
TV: ABC/WatchESPN
College Football Betting Odds From BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread: TCU Horned Frogs -32
Total: OFF
The TCU Horned Frogs are a legitimate top team in the college football rankings and they have a realistic shot of making the playoffs although it seems to be slipping away as the season winds down. The Horned Frogs have to hold off the hard charging Baylor Bears who are behind them in the rankings although they beat the Horned Frogs earlier in the season.
This week the Horned Frogs will host the Iowa State Cyclones and nothing short of a dominating win will do if they hope to stay in contention. The Baylor Bears are taking on the top ranked Kansas State Wildcats and that win, if it were to happen, would be more impressive than a win over Iowa State. This puts a ton of pressure on the Horned Frogs to win and to win big.
The Horned Frogs come into this game with extra rest after dismantling the Texas Longhorns on Thanksgiving night. The Frogs have always been known as a team that has a stout defense, but this year the offense is one of the best in the country. TCU is averaging 45.9 points per game, second-most in the FBS and on pace to break the school-record of 41.6 set in 2010. Under new offensive coordinators Doug Meacham and Sonny Cumbie, the Horned Frogs are functioning at a faster pace and averaging four fewer seconds per play. This offense was able to put up 48 points in the blowout win against the Longhorns and will look to do the same against the Cyclones.
The Cyclones come limping into this game off a loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Cyclones have just two wins on the season and have yet to win a conference game. They can play spoiler in this game which is basically all they have left to play for.
The college football betting trends are heavily in favor of the Frogs for this matchup. The Cyclones are 0-7 against the spread (ATS) in their last 7 games after allowing more than 280 yards passing in their previous game, 1-3-1 ATS when they go up against a team with a winning record and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss. The Horned Frogs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game, 20-9 ATS in their last 29 home games when they go up a team with a losing road record and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game.
If the Horned Frogs want to go to the playoffs they will need a blowout win over the Cyclones and even that may not make a difference.

Cold front brings cloudy skies, rains to northern Luzon
MANILA, Philippines – The tail-end of a cold front over extreme Northern Luzon is bringing cloudy skies and rains to the Batanes and Calayan groups of islands, and Cagayan province, the state weather bureau said on Saturday.
These areas in the extreme north will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms, according to a bulletin from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will be partly cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, it said.
The weather bureau defines "tail-end of a cold front" as the front boundary of two air masses, usually found in mid-latitudes. It generally brings rainfall and cloudiness over the affected areas.
In its outlook for Sunday, Pagasa said moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast would prevail over Northern Luzon, and its coastal waters would be moderate to rough.
Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the northeast with slight to moderate seas, it added.
Pagasa also issued a special weather advisory for Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley, the two provinces hit hardest by Typhoon Pablo last December. The two provinces will be cloudy with light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms on Sunday, the weather bureau said.

There's something about working with your hands that brings you back to the basics. Whether that means clearing out the stables, working on your car, or building the kids a tree house, it feels good to make something using your own brute strength. Make sure your body is ready to build—strap on the Low Back Overalls from Pointer Brand. They're made by hand, and feature rugged essentials like hammer loops, reinforced hip pockets, and rust-proof fasteners and buttons.

Waist: Measure the largest part of your waist or belly and order based on this measurement. If your waist measurement is an odd number, round up to the next size. For example, if the largest part of your waist is 39", order waist size 40".
Inseams: Pointer Brand has considered that the crotch on its overalls hangs slightly lower than the crotch on pants. Therefore, order based on your actual inseam measurement. If your inseam is an odd number, round up to the next size. For example, if your inseam is 33", order inseam size 34".

I have a date with the wildly popular Ugly Betty
What you have is a sensational telenovela that has become a phenomenon in the Spanish-speaking entertainment world and which will soon be introduced to American English-speaking audiences as an ABC television comedy series called "Ugly Betty."
The ABC show is the English version of "Yo Soy Betty la Fea," or "I Am Betty the Ugly," which was created in Colombia, and became the highest-rated show in the country. It is reported that Colombia practically came to a stop at 9:30 every night when the show aired.
The Mexican version of the show on Univision is called "La Fea Mas Bella" or roughly, "The Beautiful Ugly One."
I somehow got hooked into this show on the local Univision station about six months ago. I normally watch boxing matches, news shows and a few comedy shows on Spanish TV. But the staple of Spanish-language television are telenovelas, which are simply too overwrought and have too much heavy breathing for my taste, which is pretty much why I never got hooked on American soap operas either.
But "La Fea Mas Bella" is different in many ways from the typical Spanish telenovela. For one, the story line takes place in the working world. In fact, the advertising agency where the Mexican story line takes place is integral to the story, in the same way that the Colombian version put "Ugly Betty" in a fashion agency and the American "Ugly Betty" works at a fashion magazine. It's important because what Betty doesn't have in looks, she makes up for with brains.
The story is really about the superficiality of beauty that drives our society and how women are held hostage to an expectation of beauty and attractiveness that overlooks talent, intelligence and education. Betty can't match what the other women in the story look like - in the Colombian version, former national beauty queens were the other women in the cast - but she has a business sense keener than her boss, she is a whiz at accounting and, to top it off, she has principles.
That's what makes "Ugly Betty" a story that also compares classes and backgrounds. "Lety," the Mexican Betty, lives with her working-class parents and has to deal with a strict father who insists that young women who go to nightclubs can only wind up in trouble and wants explanations when she has to work late. Her boss, the head of the advertising agency, lives in a world of wealth, fancy country clubs, fast cars and stunningly beautiful women. The tension of the story is Lety's battles to retain her hold on reality and morality while her boss fights to keep the agency solvent with her help and - this is still a telenovela - is won over by her inner beauty.
It's not coincidental that the telenovela has such an enormous response in Latin America where a woman's beauty is still considered the key to a wealthy husband and the good life. The Colombian writer of the show, Fernando Gaitan, notes that "Women in Colombia were and still are obsessed about their appearance, and will go to extreme lengths to look good - even plastic surgery. We have a saying here: 'There are no ugly women, only poor women or women with poor husbands.' "
In the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada," women are advised that "size zero is the new size 2 and size 2 is the new size 4." But even I notice that the women's discount dress racks are full of size 0s, 2s and 4s. Maybe that's because the "ideal" notion of rail-thin beauty is so out of kilter with the reality of size 10 and up. But for young women who believe their worth as human beings hangs on their dress size, or on their outer beauty, this has to be enormously depressing.
"La Fea Mas Bella" is funny, but it's also a morality tale. We should encourage young women to keep their bodies healthy, but their real treasure is their minds and their talents.

I recently became the proud owner of the fantastic Sonos PLAYBAR. And while the Sonos team is considering creating a Windows 8 App to control their devices, I found a neat little hack to get the DLNA portion of the Sonos to become a "Play To" device from within Windows 8 music apps.
See the blog post here:
Here are the registry keys I created for the PLAYBAR:
Thanks for posting this. I wish there was a way to use PlayTo with Xbox Music Pass content rather than only music that has been purchased outright.

I removed the two stainless trim pieces (2 screws) and then two screws which hold the oven frame to the cabinet. Be careful to put a pad on your floor before you pull the oven out of the cabinet as there are sharp edges on the bottom of the oven. I removed apprximately 12 screws holding the back panel in place. The fixed set point thermostat is in middle toward the top of the oven cavity after removing the rear panel. Just remove two screws and slide the terminal connectors onto the new thermostat. Very easy job for someone who is not too handy.
