Trophy Case
Hillsborough High School, one of the south's oldest high schools and the oldest high school in the county, is full of history, tradition, and pride. While its entity as a school probably dates closer to 1880, a room over a Franklin Street livery stable in 1885 is recognized as the first location of this famous school. After several moves, the present building was opened in 1927.
Beginning with the first teacher, who also served as principal, and the first graduating class of four students in 1886, the students, faculty and administrators of Hillsborough High School have established a framework of history, tradition, spirit, and pride that sets HHS students apart from students of other schools. One of the oldest traditions is the wearing of red and black, the school's colors, every Friday to show spirit and unity. Hillsborough has an illustrious alumni with records of service as State Attorney, Senators, Judges, State Representative, Mayors of Tampa, professional athletes, educators, School Board Members, actors, authors, lecturers, sports announcers, Country Commissioners and Council Members, entrepreneurs, etc.
Hillsborough produced the first high school newspaper in Florida in 1889 and the first yearbook in 1911. In 1913 and 1914, Hillsborough's basketball and baseball teams defeated teams from the University of Florida and Southern College. In 1929, Hillsborough won the high school national football championship.
The Alma Mater, the "Red and Black" was written in 1923. Students purchased the Tower Clock in 1949 to honor Hillsborough's casualties in World War II. The names of Hillsborough students who were killed were placed on a plaque under the tower. The Terrier Creed was written in 1954; it received much publicity as the only one of its kind in the South. The bronze terrier that guards the trophy case was originally placed in the courtyard. The sacred "H" on the patio was dedicated in 1974 in honor of Mr. Hamilton, an assistant principal. Various groups provided the stained glass windows in the auditorium in 1963.

In the fall of 2013, UPEI created a committee to advise on the future operations of the University's longstanding and widely respected institute for research and public policy: the Institute of Island Studies. The Institute of Island Studies Futures Committee, in cooperation with UPEI's Vice-President Research and Graduate Studies, and Interim Vice-President Academic has released its final report, entitled: "One Step Back, and Two Steps Forward," which is available for download and review.
Using as its starting point, an external consultants' report commissioned in 2013, the report endorses the current mandate of the Institute as a centre for the comparative study of Prince Edward Island and other islands, and outlines a number of options for its future structure and operations. Two of the key recommendations entail adding a national and international scope to the membership of the Institute's advisory committee and a strong commitment to the Institute's role as an honest broker of public dialogue about key issues confronting Prince Edward Island. To that end, the Institute will organize two public forums during 2014, one in the spring and one in the fall, on water resources and land use issues.
In its report, the committee expresses its confidence in the future of the Institute of Island Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island and of the strong support from the University and community.
The full text of the report can be downloaded below.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Dry goods store -- 1894
Nov 25, 2012 - Staff
The transition from wood buildings to brick was a welcome sign of progress and stability for small western towns, and this store was a sign of exactly that in Lander before the turn of the 20th century.
The Stasia Allen store also was a pioneering business in that it was operated by a woman. "Mrs. Stasia Allen," as the store was billed, aspired to higher end of merchandise than was available at the typical general store, with an eye toward women's wear and accessories. The line of
stationery sold there was considered among the best in Wyoming of its time.
The building had just one occupant at the time this picture was made. The right side of the structure was available for lease.
The Allen store building stood until the mid-1960s, housing at least a half-dozen different businesses during its roughy 75-year existence.

An unnamed team has been awarded a claim of Jones. The Braves have until 1pm Saturday to decide if they are going to trade him or keep him for the rest of the year.
...And this one belongs to the Reds!!
I'm pretty sure the Yankees claimed either Canseco or Mondesi to keep him from Boston just a few years ago, and ended up stuck with his bloated salary and complete uselessness in the field. I recall a lot of Yankee fans screaming and complaining about that.Originally Posted by LexingtonRedsFan

Somebody claimed him.
With Andruw Jones only days away from gaining trade veto power, the All-Star center fielder was claimed on waivers by an unnamed team, leaving the Braves until 1 p.m. ET Saturday to decide whether to take their last opportunity to deal Jones unfettered.

That Jones was placed on waivers is unremarkable; he was one of hundreds of players, including many stars, who were placed on waivers earlier this week. What makes Jones' situation interesting is that on Aug. 15, he will gain 10-and-5 rights -- 10 years in the big leagues, five with the same team -- to block any proposed trade.
Multiple teams placed claims on Jones, according to major-league sources. But on Thursday afternoon, one team was awarded a claim on Jones. Now the Braves have two choices -- either work out a trade with the team who placed the claim by Saturday or pull Jones back from waivers. If they pull him back, they cannot trade him again for the rest of this season.
Jones' value in the trade market is relatively high right now, because he is a highly productive player locked up for only one more year -- at $13.5 million -- at a time when players like Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Lee might command $70 million packages on the free-agent market.
The Boston Red Sox tried to deal for Jones leading up to the trade deadline, with some intent to try to flip him to the Houston Astros for Roy Oswalt. Some scouts also think that the Los Angeles Angels, who've been looking for a bat, might have high interest in Jones.
Atlanta GM John Schuerholz, reached on his cell phone, said Friday afternoon that he would not comment on the team's internal business.

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/a...=.jsp&c_id=mlbPlayers on waivers usually routine
It's not always indicative of who's on the trading block
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
Andruw Jones is not necessarily available -- most players are placed on waivers to conceal a team's true intentions. (Bill Boyce/AP)
ATLANTA -- There really wasn't reason for Andruw Jones to act surprised when informed on Thursday that the Braves had placed him on the waiver wire. This isn't the first time he's been there and it's no secret that a large percentage of Major Leaguers are put on waivers by their respective clubs during the first few days of August.
Word that Jones had been placed on the waiver wire was treated as big news in Atlanta on Thursday and Friday. Had the Gold Glove center fielder's name not been included in a number of trade rumors, including one that had him going to the Red Sox, earlier this week, this realization may not have created much of a stir.
According to a high-ranking Braves official, this is a simple procedural process that teams go through on an annual basis. In other words, a multitude of players, ranging from a veteran like John Smoltz to a role player like Matt Diaz, will be placed on waivers to gauge interest from other teams.
If Jones (either Andruw or Chipper), were the only player placed on the waiver wire by the Braves, then all other teams would know exactly who the Braves were looking to move. By placing many, or, in some instances, every member of their 25-man roster on waivers, a team can at least keep their intentions masked.
But there are at least some reasons to believe the Braves are interested in trading Andruw Jones. When he becomes a 10-and-5 player (10 years of Major League service time and 5 consecutive seasons in the same organization) in mid-August, the eight-time Gold Glove center fielder will have the right to reject potential trades.
Jones will become a free agent at the end of the 2007 season and with Scott Boras as his agent, he may demand a salary much steeper than the Braves are willing to offer. They already have Chipper Jones and Tim Hudson locked into large salaries through the 2009 season and both Jeff Francoeur and Brian McCann will soon become arbitration-eligible players.
Andruw Jones' salary ($13 million this season and $13.5 for the 2007 season) wouldn't scare too many big-budgeted teams away, thus there's certainly a chance he could be moved this month. But he's made it known his primary desire is to stay in Atlanta.
"I got my house [in Atlanta]," Jones said. "My wife's family is here. So why not stay in Atlanta? I don't have control on that."
In two weeks, Jones will have some control with his right to veto any potential trades. But that doesn't necessarily mean the Braves feel they must move their prized outfielder.
Here is a look at how a trade can be completed via the waiver wire process:
In most instances, teams place a large number of their players on waivers and still never follow through with a trade. But through this process, they can at least gauge interest and see if there are sensible and available trade options that would allow them to fill a present need or relieve themselves of a high-salaried player.
With the passing of Monday's trade deadline, all teams must now pass players through waivers before trading them.
Beginning Tuesday, all teams were permitted to place as many as seven players per day on the waiver wire. Thus by Friday, many teams will have already put members of their 25-man roster on waivers.
Multiple teams can claim a player who has been placed on waivers. If two teams were to claim a specific player, the lower-ranking team according to winning percentage (whether it be an American or National League team), is given rights to that player for 48 hours.
If the Astros and Red Sox were to both put a claim on Andruw Jones, the Astros would have that 48-hour period to discuss a trade with the Braves. If nothing materialized, Jones would remain with the Braves.
All players remain on the waiver wire for two full business days. If they are never claimed, they can be traded at any point, to any team for the remainder of the season. But to be eligible for the postseason, a player must be traded by Aug. 31.
If a player is claimed by a team and a deal never materializes, a team will not likely place them back on waivers. When they initially place a player on waivers, a team has the right to pull them back at any time.
But when a player is placed on waivers a second time, the claim is irrevocable. Thus any claiming team owns the rights and a trade must be completed.

Just a guy having some amateur camera fun in Seattle. (Hmmm, that sounds kinda dirty.) Here's my requisite photography quote - it's a tad precious but I agree with it. :) "We all experience it. Those moments when we gasp and say, 'Oh, look at that!' Maybe it's nothing more than the way a shadow glides across a face, but in that split second, when you realize something truly remarkable is happening and disappearing right in front of you, if you can pass a camera before your eye, you'll tear a piece of time out of the whole, and in a breath, rescue it and give it new meaning." --Joel Meyerowitz

The state of manual LVM and full disk encryption configuration in Ubuntu's Ubiquity
Full disk encryption and LVM configuration in Ubuntu's graphical installer showed that two very important features that were missing in Ubiquity, the installation program of Ubuntu Desktop, will finally be incorporated into the version that will ship in Ubuntu 12.10, which is due in late October.
That post was based on a test build version of Ubuntu 12.10, and at that time, the Advanced Partitioning Tool was still unusable, so the article only showed how to create an LVM partitioning scheme and configure full disk encryption using the installer's automatic options.
Now that the first beta of Ubuntu 12.10 has been released, I took another look at the installer to see how LVM and full disk encryption could be configured manually. But it just so happens that those features cannot be configured manually yet, as the following screen shots show.
This is the main interface of the Advanced Partitioning Tool. Nothing about LVM or disk encryption there.
And this is the partition setup window. There is no disk encryption option here either.
And no LVM option in the list of file systems.
So no manual LVM and disk encryption in Ubuntu 12.10 beta 1. Hopefully, that should come in later pre-releases. When they do make it into that aspect of the installer, here is what I think the last two windows above will look like:
For disk encryption, you will likely see a radio button as shown here.
And for LVM, there should be an LVM (Physical Volume) option in the Use as dropdown menu. And setting up LVM logical volumes will require opening a new window.

Tori Amos, coming to Oakland, is into sin?
By awoodall
Saturday, June 20th, 2009 at 3:00 pm in Fun Stuff to do in Oakland, Night Owl.
Tori Amos, who is "abnormally attracted to sin" (according to the title of her new album) is playing at the Paramount in Oakland on July 13th. I guess you could say my attraction to sin is within normal limits. Is there a Facebook quiz to make sure?

We are testing 2 experimental drug combinations in the hope of finding a new therapy for fighting the type of cancer that you have. The 2 drug combinations are:
vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide with bevacizumab
vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide with temsirolimus
Bevacizumab and temsirolimus are experimental anticancer drugs that have not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in treating rhabdomyosarcoma that is not responding to treatment or has come back after treatment.
Bevacizumab and temsirolimus work differently than the drugs vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide. As tumors grow, they need new blood vessels to grow with them in order to receive nutrients and survive. Bevacizumab works by blocking the growth of blood vessels, including blood vessels in tumors. Temsirolimus blocks a protein called mTOR. mTOR is involved in tumor growth, including the growth of blood vessels.
In laboratory studies, both bevacizumab and temsirolimus have been shown to work against some types of childhood cancers, including rhabdomyosarcoma. Each of the 2 drugs has been given to children with cancer. But they have not been given along with vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide to people with recurrent or refractory rhabdomyosarcoma.
The goals of this study are:
To find out what effects (good and/or bad) bevacizumab, given with vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide, has on children and young adults with recurrent or refractory rhabdomyosarcoma
To find out what effects (good and/or bad) temsirolimus, given with vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide, has on children and young adults with recurrent or refractory rhabdomyosarcoma
To compare the effects of treatment with vinorelbine, cyclophosphamide and bevacizumab against the effects of treatment with vinorelbine, cyclophosphamide and temsirolimus
Patients must have had a previous histological verification of rhabdomyosarcoma at original diagnosis
Patients with first relapse or progression of rhabdomyosarcoma are eligible
Patients with primary refractory disease are eligible
Primary refractory disease is defined as first progression after receiving at least one course of cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide containing chemotherapy without prior demonstration of a radiographic response to chemotherapy (progression on irinotecan-containing chemotherapy without cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide containing chemotherapy will not be considered a first (progression).
Patient must be < 30 years of age at the time of study enrollment.
Additional screening for eligibility will be required.
The treatment involves cancer fighting medicine called chemotherapy. Treatment will be given in cycles that last 3 weeks (21 days). You will get 2 cycles of treatment and then there will be an evaluation. An evaluation means that you will have tests and imaging studies (scans) done to see if the tumor has changed. If the tumor has not gotten larger and you do not have bad side effects, your doctor may suggest you continue with treatment. If this happens, up to 10 more cycles of treatment may be given, for a total of up to 12 cycles. You will stop getting treatment on this study if the tumor gets larger or comes back, or if side effects from the treatment are too severe. If that happens, your doctor will discuss other treatment options with you.
Random Assignment
You will receive 1 of 2 different treatment plans. The treatment plan that you receive is decided by a process called randomization. Randomization means that the treatment is assigned based on chance. It is a lot like flipping a coin, except that it is done by computer. You and your doctor will not pick which treatment you get. The randomization process is described in the COG Family Handbook for Children with Cancer.
Some subjects will be randomized to receive treatment on Arm A; others will be randomized to receive treatment on Arm B.
In this study you will get 1 of 2 treatment plans. The 2 treatment plans are the same except that some subjects will get the drug bevacizumab and some subjects will get the drug temsirolimus. The rest of the treatment with vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide will be the same.
The 2 treatment plans are called Arm A and Arm B as follows:
Arm A: vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide and bevacizumab (VC + B)
Arm B: vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide and temsirolimus (VC + T)
People in this clinical trial may get treatment on this study for up to 36 weeks. After treatment, you will have follow-up examinations and medical tests.

Wilmington Branch Manager Larry Adams
I grew up in Kentucky and came to North Carolina in 1994. In January 1995, I starting working in the pest control business doing pest and termite sales. Around 2000, I went into Commercial Pest Control sales, putting together pest control programs for many businesses in western North Carolina.
I came to work for Clegg's Termite and Pest Control as the branch manager for their Asheville branch in 2002. I went on a hiatus from the pest control business in 2005, traveling on the road doing trade shows. In February 2012, I decided to settle back down and came back to Clegg's Termite and Pest Control doing Commercial Sales for their western N.C. offices.
In July 2012, I left western NC to come to Southport and get back into management for Clegg's, and in June 2013 came to the Wilmington branch. I am certified by Purdue University in Urban and Industrial Pest Management and also AIB certified in Food Processing and Hygiene.
When I'm away from the office I enjoy the beach, fishing and camping. I am married to my wife Susan who grew up in Western NC and also loves being on the coast. We look forward to making our home here.

The December 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut, sparked a reevaluation of school security and the safety of both students and staff. One issue that emerged was whether certain adults should be allowed to possess weapons within school buildings to deter and defend against armed intruders.
In 2011, some 5 percent of high school students reported carrying weapons to school. Between the 2000-01 and 2010-11 school years, 468 deaths occurred at school, during school events or when the victim was traveling to or from school. Schools use many methods to protect students, staff and visitors, including controlling access to the school building and the use of security guards. Following the December 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., several states have also enacted legislation to formally regulate firearms in schools
During a national briefing call on June 3, Texas Sen. John Whitmire noted that, in his state, 84% of African American boys had received one or more suspensions in their educational career. This was a startling wake-up call for policymakers and is now a priority as they work to create welcoming school cultures and effective learning conditions to keep students in the classroom.
A report released this week by The Council of State Governments Justice Center details more than 60 evidence-based recommendations on how states and communities can make their schools safer and help students succeed. "The School Discipline Consensus Report" is the result of a three-year effort involving a 100-member working group comprised of experts in the field of school safety, behavioral health, juvenile justice, social services, law enforcement and child welfare.
Since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., Dec. 14, 2012, many state policymakers have asked critical questions about school safety and violence prevention. States convened task forces and debated various policy issues to keep students safe during the 2013 legislative sessions. This session focused on evidence-based public policy reform in mental health, education and emergency response as a way to address these critical issues. Agenda topics included mental health issues such as screening, early diagnosis and treatment, and violence prevention in schools.
The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut brought renewed attention to the issue of school safety.
The Connecticut legislature entered the 2013 session just three weeks after 20 students and six adults were killed at the Newtown, Conn., school.
"Here we are trying to respond to public demand without having the best of information," said Connecticut Deputy Speaker Bob Godfrey at Friday's session, "Policies to Achieve Safer Schools."
The Safe2Tell Program, first created in 2004, is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization based on the Colorado Prevention Initiative for School Safety with initial funding from The Colorado Trust. The primary purpose of the Safe2Tell Program is to provide students and the community with the means to relay information anonymously concerning unsafe, potentially harmful, dangerous, violent, or criminal activities, or the threat of these activities, to appropriate law enforcement and public safety agencies and school officials.
This Act requires schools and charter schools to have a written medical emergency response plan to reduce the incidence of life-threatening emergencies and promote efficient responses to such emergencies.
As a former social studies teacher who spent seven years in the classroom, I was fortunate never to face an explosive situation. I was never threatened by a student or parent. I never witnessed a student fight that I wasn't able to deflate. I suspect that's more than many teachers with similar experience can say. I feel a sense of relief that I never encountered the kind of personal threats that I have recently read about on an all-too regular basis in news articles.

iPod case selection is one of the most random, haphazard, subjective purchases made by iPod owners. The four cases being reviewed address most of the concerns an iPodder will have once the case is in active use. An iPod 80GB Classic was used for these evaluations. Both ezGear and OtterBox have comparable cases for all the latest (and many previous) iPods, plus the iPhone.
All four review cases are well-priced for value, quality, and marketplace competition. Note: Each case covers the scroll wheel in a slightly different way, somehow without sacrificing scrolling or clicking.

Company : ezGear

I recently had the chance two try out two similar, yet different products by EZGear. One is an iPod stand, and the other is an iPod case that doubles as a stand. I'll start with the stand.
The EZL is basically an easel for you iPod. It is designed to work with the iPod with Video so that you can rest your iPod on the stand and watch something on the display. It will work will other iPods and devices, as well.
The unit is made of heavy duty plastic, and it has rubberized feet and padding to hold the iPod in place. I was really surprised at how well the padding keeps the iPod from moving on the EZL. It really does a good job.

NASA photos reveal destruction of 99% of rainforest park in Rwandamongabay.com
June 09, 2009
"According to UNEP, the reserve's forests were largely intact in 1978, and substantial forest cover still remained in 1986. But in the 15 years that elapsed between these images—a time that spanned the country's tragic genocide—wave after wave of refugees arrived in Gishwati Forest and began clearing it, often for subsistence farming," wrote Michon Scott and Rebecca Lindsey on NASA's Earth Observatory site. "By 2001, only a small circular patch of native forest remained—1,500 acres of the forest's original 250,000."
NASA's Landsat 5 satellite captured the left-side image on July 19, 1986, while NASA's Landsat 7 satellite captured the right-side image on December 11, 2001. Densely forested areas are deep green.
Large tea estates and plantations now occupy the park, which is located in the northwestern part of the country.
The loss of forest has carried significant environmental costs, says NASA.
"Rwandan deforestation was driven by the need for food, medicine, charcoal, and timber, especially for commercial products. But the loss of so many trees in a rainy, mountainous country has had severe environmental consequences," write Scott and Lindsey. "In addition to tremendous loss of biodiversity, the region experiences soil erosion and degradation and landslides."
Conservationists are now working to restore a corridor of native forest between Gishwati and Nyungwe Forest National Park, in southern Rwanda. The initiative would provide connectivity for wildlife — including chimpanzees — to move between forest areas.

Brazil's plan to save the Amazon rainforest
(06/02/2009) Accounting for roughly half of tropical deforestation between 2000 and 2005, Brazil is the most important supply-side player when it comes to developing a climate framework that includes reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). But Brazil's position on REDD contrasts with proposals put forth by other tropical forest countries, including the Coalition for Rainforest Nations, a negotiating block of 15 countries. Instead of advocating a market-based approach to REDD, where credits generated from forest conservation would be traded between countries, Brazil is calling for a giant fund financed with donations from industrialized nations. Contributors would not be eligible for carbon credits that could be used to meet emission reduction obligations under a binding climate treaty.
Nike, Unilever, Burger King, IKEA may unwittingly contribute to Amazon destruction, says Greenpeace
(06/01/2009) Major international companies are unwittingly driving the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest through their purchases of leather, beef and other products supplied from the Brazil cattle industry, alleges a new report from Greenpeace. The report, Slaughtering the Amazon, is based on a three-year undercover investigation of the Brazilian cattle industry, which accounts for 80 percent of Amazon deforestation and roughly 14 percent of the world's annual forest loss. Greenpeace found that Brazilian beef companies are important suppliers of raw materials used by leading global brands, including Adidas/Reebok, Nike, Carrefour, Eurostar, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Toyota, Honda, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, IKEA, Kraft, Tesco and Wal-Mart, among others.
Orangutan guerrillas fight palm oil in Borneo
(06/01/2009) Despite worldwide attention and concern, prime orangutan habitat across Sumatra and Borneo continues to be destroyed by loggers and palm oil developers, resulting in the death of up to 3,000 orangutans per year (of a population less than 50,000). Conservation groups like Borneo Orangutan Survival report rescuing record numbers of infant orangutans from oil palm plantations, which are now a far bigger source of orphaned orangutans than the illicit pet trade. The volume of orangutans entering care centers is such that these facilities are running out of room for rescued apes, with translocated individuals sometimes waiting several months until suitable forest is found for reintroduction. Even then they aren't safe; in recent months loggers have started clearing two important reintroduction sites (forests near Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in Sumatra and Mawas in Central Kalimantan). Meanwhile across half a dozen rehabilitation centers in Malaysia and Indonesia, more than 1,000 baby orangutans—their mothers killed by oil palm plantation workers or in the process of forest clearing—are being trained by humans for hopeful reintroduction into the wild, assuming secure habitat can be found. Dismayed by the rising orangutan toll, a grassroots organization in Central Kalimantan is fighting back. Led by Hardi Baktiantoro, the Center for Orangutan Protection (COP) has mounted a guerrilla-style campaign against companies that are destroying orangutan habitat in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo.
New rainforest reserve in Congo benefits bonobos and locals
(05/25/2009) A partnership between local villages and conservation groups, headed up by the Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI), has led to the creation of a new 1,847 square mile (4,875 square kilometer) reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The reserve will save some of the region's last pristine forests: ensuring the survival of the embattled bonobo—the least-known of the world's four great ape species—and protecting a wide variety of biodiversity from the Congo peacock to the dwarf crocodile. However, the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve is worth attention for another reason: every step of its creation—from biological surveys to reserve management—has been run by the local Congolese NGO and villages of Kokolopori.

(03/17/2008) conservationists in Rwanda have launched an ambitious reforestation project that aims to create a forest corridor to link an isolated group of chimpanzees to larger areas of habitat in Nyungwe National Park. The initiative, called the Rwandan National conservation Park, is backed by the Rwandan government, the Great Ape Trust of Iowa, and Earthpark, a group seeking to build an indoor rainforest in the U.S. Midwest.

Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta leader Dennis Lockhart said in an interview with CNBC Friday that he still expects the central bank to begin ending its ultra-easy monetary policy stance around a year from now.
"I'm holding to the mid-2015 view" when it comes to the timing of the Fed's first increase in what are now near zero short-term interest rates, Mr. Lockhart said. "I'm a little bit more cautious then perhaps some others in declaring that the evidence we've seen in the last few months of a stronger economy necessarily tells us we're going to stay on the necessary track to achieve our objectives," he said.

Pregnancy Update {weeks 16 & 17}
Things are getting all round up in here! And, in a good way! A lot of people have said that I still look thin and not chubby, but they are clearly looking at me from the side. I'd a lot wider than round…if that makes sense. However, at the end of my 17th week, I really feel like I'm starting to pop. This little one is seriously picking up steam and should be the size of a rather large turnip. {Thanks, babycenter.}
At 16 1/2 weeks, I ate something funny and started throwing up…that was no fun. And, that was right around Gord's and my 5 year anniversary. I've said it before and I'll say it again–you know someone loves you when they will clean up your vomit. My husband is a saint.
Anyways, besides that little stint of yuckiness, I now am feeling much better! Here's some other information I'm sure you're dying to know.
– I think I've gained a total of 6 pounds…5 ounces baby, the rest in my love handles.
– I lost about 3 pounds during my whole stomach bug thing, but have probably gained it back by now.
– I gained about 50 pounds with my darling daughter, so I'm aiming for anything lower then that with this pregnancy. I'm not aiming high.
-I crave a lot of healthy things: pomegranate arils, clementines and cold V8 with a shot of tabasco and celery. The only problem with this is by the end of the day, I still feel starving like I haven't eaten a thing all day. That's when I get me some Sonic onion rings or cook up some tater tots.
-And, to all you haters hating on me on the facebook photo of my sonic onion rings, give me a break. You only see what I choose to post. You don't see the bran flakes I eat for breakfast or the salad I eat for lunch because I don't post photos of every meal I consume. Obviously I'm a grown woman and will do what is best for me and this little growing fetus I have in my belly. No need to tell me what and how to eat. Thanks but no thanks.
-Don't get me started. Don't even get me started. {name that quote.}
-I don't think I've had any mood swings. But, you should probably ask my husband.
-These days, I'm mostly just tired which makes my patience wear thinner much quicker. My poor daughter who has to deal with her no drama mama.
-Which reminds me: Llama Llama Red Pajama is a cute book my Mom got my little one. It's one of my all time favorites. Maybe one day I'll post about all the kiddie books I love.
-I've felt itty bitty movements here and there, but nothing major…with the exception of this one afternoon where it felt like he/she was trying to escape via my appendix. Don't really know what that was about.
-Typically, I can feel where the baby is at in utero…but sometimes, it's like there's nothing in there. I've got a phantom baby on my hands.
So, that's my exciting life in a nutshell. I have an doctor's appointment this week and have an ultrasound on the 10th of December, so we'll be finding out for sure what we're having right before I go home for Christmas. {Why yes, I am flying 3000 miles east with my toddler by myself.Um, what was I thinking?} The ultrasound technician basically told me what I was having at my last ultrasound, but couldn't say she was 100% positive, so this one will confirm.
Questions I am curious about:
How many of you had early or late babies? My first came right on her due date.
Do you know of any style/fashion blogs that have cute outfit recommendations for pregnant ladies? I don't know what to wear besides fat pants and t-shirts.
Thanks, ya'll!

Thought that might help give you some ideas! Seems like leggings, dresses, and stretchy pants are the way to go!
Glad you're feeling well – being pregnant while caring for a toddler is no easy task!
You asked about how many of us had early or late babies – well, I've never made it to a due date yet. My son was a week early (technically he was full-term so it was cool), my first daughter was 7 weeks early (almost 9 weeks but the docs managed to halt labour for a couple weeks), and my second daughter was born 10 days before her due date. The last month is super hard because you're tired and sick of beiing pregnant and just want to hold your little one…I was always glad to have it cut short instead of going past my date.
I love, love, love that you're posting pregnancy updates. Being pregnant was one of the mist memorable and most fun things I have done in my entire life. I've been getting the baby urge the last few months so your blog is just what I need to stave off those urges. Haha. So my two kids and my husband thank you too!!!
Also, I craved Sonic hash browns with my son. They are seriously laced with something. Hahaha.
Can't wait to possibly read about the cute things your little girl has to say about your bun in the oven. My oldest was so silly the whole 9 months.
My babies liked to stay put….so they were around 8 days late…..not so much fun. Sounds like your pregnancy is ticking along just fine. So sad that people feel like they ca tell you what to eat and such….Stinkers. Enjoy your time and your onion rings. I once tried to convince a man to give me his cheese at the grocery counter….my husband thought I was CRAZY! Love cravings!! Take care.
You are adorable!!
I've found great stuff at Loft Maternity. Not all that inexpensive, but honestly, totally worth it to feel and look great! Plus they always have sales. I also invested in 2 skinny jeans and 3 skinny colored jean/pants that have been awesome and at least I feel like I'm semi-in fashion while pregnant I also bought some cute statement necklaces that dress up even plain long sleeve shirts (Gap has great long sleeve shirts that still cover my bump at 30+ weeks – and they aren't even maternity shirts!).
My first came right on his due date too..I wouldn't mind if this one came right when hes due too!
P.s. you look fab..don't listen to the haters. I gained 60 pounds with my first…as long as I keep it under that this time, Ill feel good 😛 (It may be hard with all the cookies and treats this time of year!)
Congrats!! You look adorable To answer your question, my 2nd baby was almost a week late (the longest week EVER!). My first was a scheduled c-section )he was breech). I'm pregnant with my third now, so I'm curious when this baby will arrive. Probably late again!
I'd love to know some good fashion blogs for pregnant ladies too. I really hate maternity clothes, I try to avoid them. I've been living in leggings and long shirts lately.
Oh you look so adorable! and boo about those folks telling how you need to eat!!! You are obviously healthy and a good cook so there are no worries!! (and yeah I ate poptarts and mountain dew with our first for over 1/2 my pregnancy… it was the only thing that I could stomach in the morning… and he has never had any health issues!) delivery dates… 36 weeks, 37 weeks, and 38 weeks. all 7.4 to 8.3 lbs
Hi Lauren,
I just stumbled upon your blog whilst searching for cute outfits for pregnant women on Google. Looks like this was posted some time ago, but I thought I would share what I found online here in Australia.
These guys do stylish maternity tops made out of natural fibres (which is great because I suffer from psoriasis) The natural fibres have helped me a lot (especially during the warmer months). I thought I would share it here, they have some great stuff, highly recommended.

Engineering technicians use the principles and theories of science, engineering and mathematics to solve technical problems in construction, maintenance, sales, manufacturing, research, and development. Other engineering technicians may work in quality control, safety, inspecting products and processes, conducting tests, or collecting data. All of these occupations can occur in a multitude of industries and locations.
Many engineering technicians assist in design work, so creativity, good communication and teamwork are desirable skills. The program does not require calculus. An engineering technician may initially work closely with a direct supervisor until experience and skills are acquired, at which time many technicians achieve the status of supervisor.
Competitive pressures will force companies to improve and update facilities and designs resulting in more jobs for engineering technicians. While some industries may export part of their development activities overseas, the energy industry requires an on-site presence. At the Sheridan Campus of NWCCD you will be learning about engineering technology in the center of the largest energy production activity in the United States. The Sheridan College has access to the experts who have developed the energy industry where new technology and a demand for fuels will provide you with increased opportunities.
If you are an analytical thinker with creativity and common sense, the Engineering Technology Associate of Applied Science Degree at the Sehridan College of NWCCD will provide you with a lifetime of good earnings and experiences.

Re: iden
I worked for Sprint for 4 years as a rep and Store Manager. I finally saw the light, it was a train called Nextel. IDEN is without a doubt garbage in legacy Sprint's eyes. I was in Washington DC when they showed us the future of IDEN. It's life expectancy did not exceed past 2010. So IDEN will go away and Sprint will migrate to QChat. If IDEN is so great why are they trying to sell it? I work for another CDMA provider that has great customer service something Sprint can never seem to accomplish. That is why they accept 70% for a satifactory customer service scores (CSAT) and run a churn rate higher then any carrier.

I live in Michigan about 140 miles from Chicago. I have been a White Sox fan since 1970 and have followed the team since. What has always surprised me is the lack of respect from my point of view for Jerry Reinsdorf. He has brought more championships to your city than any other! Yes, granted six was with the Bulls but at least one World Series that I never thought I would see in my lifetime, let alone all the old time Sox fans in your city. Who the heck thought Dunn would fall on his rear as bad as he did, or Rios and Gordon Beckham have the lack of production that they had? I can remember when the Sox wanted to make Kenny Williams a third basemen! Ugh, not good. -- Dave Pontius; Kalamazoo, Mich.
Funny you mention when you remember KW was used at third base. He told a few reporters last Thursday that I covered him in high school, and I replied that I covered his last high school football game, when he was stopped short of the goal line in a playoff game but that he hit a home run out of a decent-sized park and stood briefly at home plate.
Tigers fans with a pretty good (and well-paid) product, which says a lot about his commitment to the organization and fans.
As for the chairman, he's extremely loyal to his employees -- probably moreso than any owner since the O'Malley family sold the Dodgers.
Can you please find out why the uniform No. 6 has not been issued out to any player for many years. I know that Charley Lau wore that number as a coach. But this number is not retired and no one seems to know why. -- Ed W., Schaumburg
That number is unofficially retired out of respect to Lau, who passed away in 1984.
Every year is the same. The White Sox lack of commitment (or is it inability?) to draft and develop MLB-quality talent for the parent club is killing us. Does Reinsdorf want to win, or just lord over a consistently mediocre MLB franchise? I want an owner who is "in it to win it" and will invest in building and sustaining a winning franchise. Reinsdorf can't keep waving that 2005 flag forever. Williams is the perfect GM for a mediocre franchise, and Dan Evans must be wondering what he has to do to get promoted. I believe that the Talking Heads song "Once in a Lifetime" was written about the Chicago White Sox annual mediocrity..."Same as it ever was!" -- Scott McEwen, Glen Ellyn
Until recently, the Sox were in the bell-bottom, acid-wash jean stage while many teams paid over slot for the right players. That isn't the entire fault of the current scouting director or his predecessor. Sometimes budget need to be more elastic.
The Sox, however, went more than 15 years without drafting in the top 15, so that instant impact player didn't arrive until they had high picks, such as Gordon Beckham and Chris Sale.
If the Sox's fortunes don't turn around, may I suggest the Talking Heads' song "Burning Down the House" or "Take Me to the River."
Please tell me the Sox are going to work on getting a bunt down? We have to be the worst team in baseball for moving the runner up! Bring Nellie Fox back, or at least watch videos of Nellie and Louie! -- John, Antioch
Last year, the inability to lay down a decent bunt cost the White Sox many times. If I were the manager, I would expect EVERY player to be able to bunt when needed. I hope bunting practice is part of spring training for all players. -- Bill Buehring, Naperville
One of the more memorable spring training moments was watching Ozzie Guillen, then in his mid-40s, put on a bunting clinic by displaying impressive bat control. A clip of that would work for me.
The White Sox seem to have a handful of older players who seem to be on the downside of their career while making a ton of money. The general manager has always seemed eager to bring in old players at the expense of developing and keeping younger players -- resulting in an old boring team without much hope for improvement in the near future. Does Kenny Williams have the fortitude, courage and the ability to turn the roster around in the next few years so that the White Sox can be a winning team again sometime in the next four to five years? -- Tom, Western Springs
I think he does. I also think he's not going to give players away, which is why he gave John Danks an extension and elected to hold onto Gavin Floyd for now.
After signing Fukudome to serve as a fourth outfielder, do you think there is any possibility that they may take a look at free agent Aaron Miles? I know there are a few internal candidates for the back-up infield spot, but it doesn't seem that any of them play shortstop or third. -- Matt, Chicago
Brent Morel and Alexei Ramirez are relatively young and should play at least 140 games. Brent Lillibridge has played third in the past, and Ozzie Martinez, a shortstop-second baseman, is eager to play third if asked.
If Beckham continues to struggle through the first two months of the season, can you see Lillibridge getting a shot at second base? -- Patrick, Chicago
Yes, although Brent's all-around defense could hurt him in this case. I think Ozzie Martinez has a shot.
For the first time in probably more than a decade I'm not at all excited about the Sox's upcoming season, nor do I care that spring training is starting up soon. If possible, can you tell me why I shouldn't feel this way? -- Mike Pensinger, Oak Lawn

OCU Loses Road Battle to NAIA #2 Indiana Wesleyan
MARION, IN. - The OCU men's basketball team took on Indiana Wesleyan on Monday night and came up short to the NAIA #2 ranked Wildcats in a tightly contested game. Despite the 23 point margin, IWU led by just five (35-30) at the half as both teams struggled mightily in the first 20 minutes. Ohio Christian had 19 turnovers at the half and Indiana Wesleyan amassed 15.
Ohio Christian led for a total of 14 seconds in the contest, but refused to let IWU pull away. It was not until IWU hit two free throws with 12:41 left in the game that IWU took its first double digit lead at 51-41.
The Trailblazers cut the lead back to eight on their next possession at the 12:00 mark to get within 8 points at 51-43, but IWU hit two free throws on their next possession to push the lead back to 10. Those two free throws were the start of a 14-4 IWU run that put the game away.
Ohio Christian battled inside and held a 36-30 rebounding advantage. Of those 36 rebounds, 23 came on the offensive end. OCU struggled from the field, shooting just 29.8-percent (17 of 57) shooting. MIke Farrell and Wesley Russell led Ohio Christian with 20 points each. Farrell hit 4 three point baskets in the game while Russell went 14 of 15 from the free throw line,
The Traiblazers (2-2) are back in action this weekend as they head to Valley Forge Christian College to compete in the Hersha Hospitality Classic.

The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, has said Nigeria will by 2025 bring down its gas flaring by at least two per cent.
Alison-Madueke disclosed that by 2010, the country had recorded a downward gas flaring rate of 30 per cent as well as against the current rate of 11 per cent, adding that it aspires to bring it further down to two per cent by 2020 and beyond.
The minister said this while appealing to the global community, including the developed world to invest in the development of the burgeoning African energy economy as a means to achieve win-win scenario for the continent and the rest of the globe.
She spoke at a special lecture on the "future of African energy in a changing World" which she delivered at the St. Anthony's College, University of Oxford, United Kingdom, at the weekend.
According to a statement Monday from the acting General Manager Public Affairs of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporations (NNPC), Tumini Green, in Abuja, Alison-Madueke stated that unlike in the past when Africa was a ready example of a pitiable basket case, the continent has emerged as a potent destination for investments in oil and gas.
Speaking on gas flaring and environmental pollution in Nigeria, she stated that the country had begun the implementation of mitigation strategies that will over time compensate for years of carbon emissions, adding that Nigeria aspires to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025 at the latest.
"This aspiration is already being realised with gas flares now at a significantly reduced level relative to previous levels.
By 2010 it was down to 30 percent and now it's down to 11 percent and would be down to two percent by 2020 and beyond," Alison-Madueke said.
While celebrating the rising profile of African energy in the global energy matrix, the minister explained that the recent flurry of offshore and onshore oil and gas discoveries across the continent has placed Africa on the front burner of the global energy map.
She argued that while it may make economic and geo-strategic sense for a nation to meet its energy needs from domestic sources instead of imports, it may not make so much sense from the perspective of the broad-based global development necessary to ensure the global stability.
She said: "We believe that global stability comes from the balancing of regional interests. To achieve optimal development for the African energy sector, the support and partnership of the industrialised world is critical. This would not only be in the interest of Africa, but also in the enlightened self interest of the global community as a whole.
"We see a win-win outcome when industrialised nations source their energy needs from African nations," Alison-Madueke added.
She further noted that this would enable the wealthy nations satisfy their energy needs while at the same time generating for Africa, the vital export revenue that will make the continent less dependent on foreign developmental aid.
According to her: "Investing in Africa's growth opportunities is undeniably a much better model for providing long-term solutions to Africa's developmental challenges than the grant of charitable aid."

Poultry processing plant found guilty of illegal wastewater practices
WASHINGTON — A federal jury Monday found House of Raeford Farms Inc., the owner and operator of a poultry slaughtering and processing facility located in Raeford, N.C., guilty of 10 counts of knowing violations of the Clean Water Act.
According to the Department of Justice, House of Raeford allowed plant employees to bypass the facility's pretreatment system and send its untreated wastewater directly to the city of Raeford's wastewater treatment plant, without notifying city officials.
In addition, House of Raeford failed to prevent employees from sending thousands of gallons of wastewater into a pretreatment system that did not have the capacity to adequately treat the wastewater before it was discharged to the city plant.
The untreated wastewater that was discharged directly to the city plant was contaminated with waste from processing operations, including blood, grease and body parts from slaughtered turkeys.
A House of Raeford former employee admitted that the facility would continue to "kill turkeys" despite being warned that the unauthorized bypasses had an adverse impact on the city's wastewater treatment plant.
The city plant was responsible for treating industrial, commercial and residential wastewater before it was discharged to Rockfish Creek in Hoke County.
"The convictions today demonstrate the Justice Department's commitment to prosecuting those who knowingly violate pretreatment permits and the Clean Water Act by releasing untreated and contaminated wastewater to municipal wastewater treatment plants," said Ignacia S. Moreno, assistant attorney general for the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Justice. "The violations here are especially egregious and will not be tolerated. The evidence showed that House of Raeford allowed overflows of untreated wastewater to bypass a critical part of their pretreatment system. Many of these bypasses were not disclosed to the city of Raeford, and placed an additional burden on the city's wastewater treatment plant."
House of Raeford Inc. faces a maximum fine of $500,000 or twice the gain or loss resulting from the offenses, whichever is greater, per count. Sentencing has been scheduled for Nov. 28, 2012.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Ryan and Briana Culberson Accuse Vicki Gunvalson's Boyfriend, Brooks, of Lying
Oh, boy. Ryan and Briana Culberson might be living with Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson, but that doesn't mean everything is resolved between mother and daughter. The couple still isn't pleased with Vicki's boyfriend, Brooks Ayers.
The semi-newlyweds are staying with Vicki while they await the birth of their first child. It sounds like the relationship between the Housewife and Brooks is rocky at the moment, but Briana and Ryan have never trusted Vicki's southern gent.
Ryan wrote on his Twitter page last week, "Brooks Ayers is a manipulative lying piece of s**t!" and added, "Out of respect for my MIL I will keep all the issues we have against Brooks private for now!" (He's since deleted the two tweets, but they were screen-grabbed by Reality Tea before they came down.)
And while Ryan might be keeping the reasons for his harsh words close to the chest, Briana wrote on her own page, "ABSOLUTELY TRUE. he outed I was pregnant along with my private wedding details."
Brooks, however, denied it on his own Twitter feed by writing "I din't [sic] sell her story to the press. That's stupid." Then he retweeted a story suggesting it was Vicki's former BFF Tamra Barney who confirmed Briana's pregnancy.
This isn't the first time Briana's accused Brooks of doling out details on her pregnancy and wedding date. She first made the claim back during the Season 7 reunion episode, when she also said Vicki started seeing Brooks long before her marriage to Donn was officially over.
Things are probably pretty tense around the Gunvalson dinner table these days...

Transport minister in emergency meeting with Cornwall Council leader over rail link to Cornwall
Posted: February 07, 2014|
An emergency meeting is due to take place this morning between the Transport minister Patrick McLoughlin and council and business leaders in the South West.
The crisis meeting has been sparked by the demolition of the main railway line at Dawlish.
The West Briton understands Mr Mcloughlin is meeting with John Pollard, leader of Cornwall Council, and Chris Pomfret, chairman of the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly local enterprise partnership (LEP).
Other local authority and business leaders are expected to be in attendance.
The meeting is understood to be taking place at Plymouth City Council offices to discuss the rail link between Cornwall and the rest of the country.
A DfT spokesman confirmed Mr McLoughlin would be in Plymouth today.
Network Rail has said it will take at least six weeks to carry out repairs to the railway line that was smashed up in the latest storms to batter the Westcountry.
A promise was made in Westminster yesterday to review alternative routes to the current line through Dawlish, which has been washed away in this week's storms.
The West Briton, the Cornishman and Cornish Guardian, along with our sister titles the Western Morning News and Plymouth Herald, want the politicians to go one step further, and to commit to creating a second line into the Duchy to provide resilience in extreme weather.

Chic Pink Apron
Overall Rating: 4.8 out of 5
297 of 300 (99%) customers said they would recommend this product to a friend.
Fiona - Jun 22, 2010
This is a cute apron, it looks exactly as pictured, and the ties are really long. my only complaint is that the material is a little thin so it won't really protect your clothes from heavy spills or anything. it's great for the amount of cooking i do and it makes it fun and cute while i'm at it
Sara - May 26, 2010
This Apron is very nice and can benefit from various usage types. I would definately recommend.
Yarista - May 26, 2010
I purchased this apron because of a Calendar Photo Shoot that my friends and I do every year. This years theme will be "domestic Ya Ya's" I love the fit and the color/design is great!
Maggie - Apr 28, 2010
While I was disappointed by the fabric (I was hoping for something thicker -hence the 4 out of 5 rating), I have to say that this is truly one of the cutest aprons in my ever growing collection and it serves it's purpose. In fact, I liked the styling so much that I just ordered two more in different patterns/colors, because I just cannot resist a cute apron and this certainly fits the bill!
Carmen - Apr 24, 2010
I was excited when i ordered it, i was excited when the package came and i was over the moon when i put it on and saw how styling i looked. This a must have to very women that is in the kitchen a lot and wants to be there in style, i am buying 3 more as mothers day gifts for my 2 sisters and mum.
Abatha - Apr 9, 2010
Soooo adorable I love it. I almost hated to cook in it because it was as pretty as a dress.....but I did cook in it and feel great.
Sarah - Apr 5, 2010
I ordered several of these for gifts and I was very pleased with the quality of work and color. This is a very nice look and the fit will work for lots of sizes and still look nice. From the very small size 2 and those of us that need a little more room up top it has a slimming look with nice long ties that can be doubled up or one bow and all will be nice. Good length.
Suzy - Mar 29, 2010
I love my new apron. These are fun and flirty! I have recieved many compliments from my girlfriends and of course from my husband. Buy one, you will love it!
Judy - Feb 10, 2010
This apron is everything and more than stated. Love it, plan to buy more as gifts for family and friends.
Deborah - Jan 14, 2010
Im very excited about this apron. I had received an apron for christmas which is more of the hostessing apron, the kind you put on to look good in front of guests but dont want to get dirty every because it has pretty embroidery or swarowski crystals or some other jazz. I found this apron for a great price here and ended up ordering it to have as a default apron for actual cooking and baking. I love it! the material feels durable, the kind you can get dirty and not worry about it getting spoiled. The fit is quite nice as well (although the sash to tie is a bit long but its made that way so you can loop it twice around your waist). The colors are fun and come in a variety of other patterns! I've used it a few times now but have yet to wash it!
Tarath - Jan 8, 2010
I bought 2 aprons as gifts for my sister and sister-in-law. THey are really cute! And they make a great and affordable gift. So much fun and the quality is good too. Definitely recommend this product.
Natalie - Jan 6, 2010
I bought this apron for myself and friends (birthday gifts) and am very happy with it. The apron is even prettier than I thought it would be. The detail, pleats, stitching are all quality workmanship. My mother was an excellent seamstress and even she would have been impressed with the way it was put together. I haven't given the aprons to my friends yet but they saw mine over the holidays and were jealous they didn't have one. I can't wait to see their face when they open their birthday gifts. I would definitely recommend this product. I found these in the mall after I had made my purchase, overstock.com was less expensive, even with the shipping charges.
Deanne - Oct 30, 2009
Love this apron! Fresh breath of air compared to the standard boring "betty crocker-ish" aprons of old. Finally, you can cook and still have a young, stylish vibe! Such an adorable apron! Also, the back is lined in black, while it isn't necessarilly meant to be reversible, I have used both sides and looks just as good either way.

Peterborough, Northamptonshire
Religion starts with an answer (God) and then attempts to interpret all questions to fit it (the rough equivalent of claiming marksmanship by firing an arrow at a blank target, then painting a bull's eye round the point of impact).
Theologians now cope with science because its achievements are just too overwhelming to ignore. Few wish to end up as a 20th-century Bishop Wilberforce. However, as the general public grows increasingly fascinated by sensational irrationality, it is vital that science holds true to its empirical methodology.
Inquiries into the purpose of life are meaningless unless it is previously assumed that there is a purpose to inquire into. Religion makes that assumption because it has to. Science can only achieve its results precisely because it does not start with such assumptions.
The resurgence of the absurdities of "Creation Science" in the US, backed by the political power of the ...
