February is not off to a great start here, with more stress ahead--don't you love it when your stressful situations are scheduled in advance? But I'm planning to make time to quilt all through the month, for my peace of mind and to make tangible evidences of my love for the people in my life who are having a rough time. So, time with fabric is what I'm looking forward to.ReplyDelete
Your quilt is great, by the way. It's reminding me of duck tracks. :)

Evolutionary biology, evolution of polar bears, hybridization of polar bears and brown bears, genomics
Charlotte Lindqvist is an evolutionary biologist. Her research uses genomics to understand speciation processes, polyploidy events and hybridization in both animals and plants.
She is an expert on the evolution of the polar bear, having co-led an international effort to sequence the genomes of the polar bear and brown bear. That study, published in 2012, suggested that polar bear numbers waxed and waned with climate change, and found that the species may be much older than previously known.
Today, Lindqvist continues using genomic techniques to study the polar bear, with the goal of identifying genetic adaptations that help the animal survive brutal Arctic winters.

Click this link for the latest ABC renewal / cancellation information:
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from September 17-October 14, 2012):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Private Practice
|canceled 10/19
|666 Park Avenue
|Last Resort
|The Neighbors
|The Middle
|Once Upon A Time
|Grey's Anatomy
|Modern Family
10/19 Update: Private Practice has been canceled.
Last week, I changed my prediction for 666 Park Avenue to "certain to be canceled" this week I'm changing Last Resort. The cancellation bear is certain he'll be feasting on both shows by the end of the season.
While both shows are certain to be canceled, folks often wonder about how long they'll last on the schedule. Guessing that timing is a lot harder for the cancellation bear than just the final outcome, but I'll give it a try.
- Last season, Charlie's Angels lasted 7 episodes going 2.1, 1.5, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1 [yank] in Last Resort's timeslot.
- Two seasons ago My Generation went 1.6, 1.1 [yank] in that slot.
- Pan Am lasted 14 episodes on Sunday at 10pm last season, going 3.1, 2.6, 1.9, 1.8, 1.8, 1.8, 1.7, 1.8, 1.5, 1.3, 1.2, 1.2, 0.7, 1.2 [yank]
- 666 Park Avenue has gone 2.1, 1.7, 1.5.
- Last Resort has gone 2.2, 1.9, 1.6.
Both of this seasons doomed dramas are doing better than Charlie's Angels, but worse than Pan Am. On that basis, I'd expect somewhere between 7 and 13 episodes each. An extra episode or two ordered for scheduling purposes (like Pan Am received) would not surprise me. Although certainly any extra episodes will give hope to the crazy and desperate, just like Pan Am did last season, some of whom still aren't sure it was canceled. Did I mention that it did great internationally?
Why is Castle likely to be renewed, with almost exactly the same ratings as Scandal which is only a "toss up"? While Castle is already sold into syndication, and will by the end of this season have more than the required minimum number of episodes for stripped syndication, my conventional wisdom is that more episodes are always better (for the bottom line). Scandal doesn't benefit from that assumption since it's only a sophomore.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2013
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

by horus
Updated 13 October 2006
(Transferred from the wiki by Peter)
1.0) Background:
This PET relies heavily on my system configuration notes (dated 2004) to explain how to configure KPPP in Fedora Core systems. I either lost my original PET text, or did it online and didn't save a copy, so here goes:
This PET documents how to get KPPP to properly startup for a non-root user. Upon starting the kppp program as user horus for the first time after installing Fedora Core 1, I noted that it asked for the root password. I'd seen this before, with Red Hat from about 6.2 to 9.0, and wanted to do something about it. (I knew it was possible because Mandrake 9.2 works this way...)
Digging into this mystery, I discovered that Red Hat sets up kppp as a consolehelper app in PAM for security reasons. I am NOT an expert on PAM or on the finer aspects of Linux security yet. I do know that this method works.
2.0) Methodology:
Note: the KPPP Handbook is accessed by clicking on "Help" in the kppp dialog box. Read the section having to do with security and kppp very thoroughly. It isn't the whole picture, but it helps to understand how Red Hat et al at the Fedora Project have altered (read: messed up) kppp's default behavior.
Rather than bore you with all the changes I went through to get where I am now, with a working non-root kppp client, I'm just going to get on with the steps that really work.
Before we get into the steps, though, it is relevant to note that I had previously created a new group (kpppusers), added my kppp users to that group, and then created an /etc/kppp.allow file with kppp users listed in it. This is all covered adequately in the KPPP Handbook, so look at it for further details.
(Note: the easiest way I've found to create new groups is by using the 'Users and Groups' option under the 'System Settings' menu in KDE. You will, of course, need to be root or su'd to do this...)
On to the steps involved now...
- Executed a "quick-n-dirty" fix I found in the kppp FAQ (http://devel-home.kde.org/~kppp/faq.html) by performing the following:
- su to a root shell. (Open a terminal window, type in su, then give root's password when prompted...)
- delete the symlink to consolehelper by: rm /usr/bin/kppp
- alter permissions on /usr/sbin/kppp (the actual kppp binary) as follows: chmod u+s /usr/sbin/kppp (I think this actually sets kppp suid root)
- create a new symlink as follows: ln -s /usr/sbin/kppp /usr/bin/kppp
This allowed the kppp interface to come up without prompting for the root password, but now the error "can't create lock file on /dev/modem" occurs... could it be regular users do not have the required permissions to create the lock file?
- Add users to group lock (and to group kpppusers if not there already)
Note: for the next steps (which alter permissions for folders and files) I used and recommend using Midnight Commander if it is installed. Otherwise, you will need to clearly understand how to use the chmod command.
- Change ownerships/permissions on /var/lock to root root 0775
- Change ownerships/permissions on /var to root root 0775
- Check ownerships/permissions on /usr/sbin/kppp at root kpppusers 4775
- Change ownerships/permissions on /usr/sbin/pppd to root kpppusers 0755
- Change ownerships/permissions on /usr/sbin/pppdump to root kpppusers 0755
At this point, everything should work: on startup, kppp goes straight to the login/connect dialog box, and waits for you to press the connect button. When you do, voila, she works.
3.0) Questions:
I've not used this setup in a while (ah - cable!), but I wonder...
- Do permissions on /usr/sbin/pppdump really need to be altered from their original defaults? Perhaps not?
- Is it possible to add group kpppusers to group lock instead of adding individual users to both groups? (I need to do more reading on groups, ownerships, and permissions anway.)
- Is this really sufficiently secure? Red Hat cited reasons of security for doing as they have - but is giving out the root password to every d@mned kppp user on your network really any better? I think not.
I'm sure there are other questions I can't answer yet about this setup, but this does work. As cable and DSL become more popular, this might not be as important in the more developed countries, but I'm sure this is still a burning question in areas where phone lines are still the only available infrastructure.

Contrary to claims by Western governments and Islamist tyrants financing the "revolution" in Syria, foreign jihadist forces and al-Qaeda terrorists battling the secular Bashar al-Assad regime are not trying to create a "democracy" with "human rights" for all. Instead, they are waging so-called jihad, or "holy war," to build an Islamic dictatorship under Sharia law as part of an emerging international Muslim system, Doctors Without Borders co-founder Jacques Beres confirmed after returning from Syria.
Dr. Beres, who spent two weeks treating injured fighters in the city of Aleppo, told Reuters that at least half of the "Syrian rebels" he dealt with were actually foreigners from around the world. They came from Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, and even Europe. Critics noted that 11 years after 9/11, the U.S. government is again funding al-Qaeda and its affiliates — an odd but unsurprising development considering history.
Many of the foreign rebels have previous battle experience from fighting American troops throughout the Middle East. Some have even openly threatened to attack the United States after Assad's regime falls, the Christian Science Monitor reported in a piece entitled "Syria's rebels have a new villain: the United States."
As The New American and several other sources, including U.S. officials, have documented for months, a large percentage of the Western establishment-backed fighters are actually openly affiliated with al-Qaeda. One estimate suggests as many as one fourth of the rebel groups in Syria are affiliated with the infamous terror group, according to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.).

Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 45L:
Saw this bag in a Patagonia store in Portand and thought it would be ideal for trips to the gym. And, it is--perfect size, looks great, and the water-resistance feature is helpful for wet/damp clothing. Product comes in a large selection of colors too. Only drawback is that it does not have a shoulder strap--that would be useful if you are carrying other things at the same time.

Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 45L:
I really like using this bag for it's intended purposes. It's durable and the size is really perfect for a pair of shoes, 2 changes of cloths and smaller items within it. I like the quality of the zippers, the handles on each side are really excellent as well for carry options or clicking in carabiners for eventual or actual usage on items that are not terribly too heavy. I also like the two zippered internal mesh pockets and the external four daisy chains for some additional gear to hook onto the outside. I selected the Mission Olive color and like that it's a really dark foresty green. If you need a small duffel, this is a really nice option and I hope to get years of use from it.
Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 45L:
There are heavier duffel bags out there for trips via yak, but if you travel by plane or auto, this is the quintessential duffel to own. Weighing next to nothing, it will hold clothes for a week. Construction is first-rate. The 45L is ideal minimalist carry-on luggage and can work as a gym bag, also. After much deliberation I selected olive.

Black Friday begins to edge into Thanksgiving here in Coweta CountyBy JOHN A. WINTERS
(Editor's note: On this Thanksgiving day in the face of new shopping hours, The Newnan Times-Herald Staff Writer John Winters shakes out the points of view on the new Brown Thanksgiving/ Black Friday happenings.)
If 40 is the new 20, then Thanksgiving is the new Black Friday.
And then some corporate bigwig decided to go all Rambo and stuff. Tried that whole "think outside the box" angle. Which of course led to everyone pushing the envelope with 4 a.m. openings on the day after Thanksgiving.
But now? Black Friday starts tonight — as in Thanksgiving night — for some stores. And even more are having Internet-only sales, previews, sneak peaks and pre-order/ pickup next day all day today. And if you are on any big store mailing list, well the extra 20 percent off here and double points coupon there is probably pushing your email total to, well, its limit.
Thanksgiving, a day of, well, giving thanks and being with friends and family, is becoming a big shopping day.
Thanksgiving is the new Black Friday.
Walmart is opening at 8 p.m. this Thanksgiving evening, which is the big major retailer news. Target is an hour later tonight at 9 p.m. Michaels is open at 4 p.m. Publix is closed, Kroger is open, but shorter hours.
Best Buy opens at midnight. But Black Friday sales start online today. Dick's Sporting Goods and Belk are following the more traditional midnight openings. The list goes on and on.
It's enough to make your head spin. So much so that there are even Internet sites that are constantly updating big store openings. Here's one: http://couponing.about.com/od/blackfridayshopping/a/storehours.htm .
Your best bet is to check out today's Holiday Shopping Gift Guide in The Newnan Times-Herald. You can also check out specific business websites to get not only store hours, but special Thanksgiving or Black Friday deals.
And if the big-box stores aren't your thing, MainStreet Newnan will be hosting "Plaid Friday" with downtown merchants. Stores will open at normal times, but many plan to stay open later. And yes, if you wear plaid, you get a little souvenir.
Oh, and Santa will be visiting the downtown square on Friday. ETA is 6 p.m.
In a completely unscientific poll, meaning I basically just asked some friends who were over for dinner one night what their Brown Thursday/ Black Friday plans were, there are two points of view. There is no middle ground. And being unscientific, the margin of error is about 43.57 percent plus or minus.
One side thinks the whole Brown Thanksgiving/ Black Friday hours is the greatest thing since, well, sliced bread. They have printed their coupons. They have mapped out which store to hit at what time like a general preparing for battle. They have all the weather data downloaded and are willing to camp out in freezing temperatures to make sure they win the prize of being first in line to buy whatever the "it" thing is this year. It is all about the hunt; finding the super secret double coupon and buying it for half of half. All Christmas shopping done, money saved left and right. Time to relax while all the procrastinators spend the next month trying to find something left over.
The second group thought the aforementioned people were, basically, insane. They plan to sleep in as late as possible and go nowhere near any place with a cash register. To this group, the whole "shopping experience" reminds them of the old Capital One ad campaign when the horde of Vikings tramples through the stores asking "what's in your wallet?" They don't "do" crowds and if they are going to walk three miles, it will be on a beautiful mountain trail and not a parking lot.
If you are planning on being part of the horde, sorry, I meant enthusiastic shoppers, please remember to use what we once called "common sense." There's an accompanying story today with tips from the Newnan Police Department about how to be safe and ensure you don't end up shopping for some thief.
Two other points. In the excitement of the hunt, please try, as I know you will, to be courteous, take your time and don't run with scissors.
Finally, if you are a shopaholic, this might be a good day to just kick back and rest. The sensory overload might make your head — and wallet — explode.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Women's golf team announces recruiting class
Requires Adobe Flash
Requires Adobe Flash
Wednesday, May 04, 2011
Lipscomb women's golf head coach Buddy Harston announced the signing of four new players on Wednesday.
Danielle Grace, Casey Edwards, Sami Khan, and Sarah McFarlin will become the newest members of the women's golf program.
Harston expects the new signees to come in and contribute immediately. Lipscomb will lose four seniors, including Katie Pursell, who was the team's top individual on the Lady Bisons ninth-place showing at the Atlantic Sun Championships in April.
Harston said Danielle Grace from St. Petersburg, Fla. is a top recruit who will come in and make a big difference.
"Danielle has a great golf swing and fundamentals," Harston said. "Her high school team finished second in the state. She will play immediately and vie for the number one spot."
Casey Edwards is another highly talented member of next year's class. She is a native of Flower Mound, Texas and was named to the second team all-conference.
"Casey was the number two player and captain of her highly ranked high school team in Texas," Harston said. "She has a great work ethic. As a sophomore she was the recipient of the 'most improved' award."
Sami Khan is another golfer with high accolades who has inked her name to next year's squad. Khan played at Visitation Academy in Saint Peters, Mo. and made first team all-conference in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
"Sami is an outstanding prospect who dealt with an injury between her junior and senior year," Harston said. "She won the championship at the Rockwood Summit Invitational, shooting a 71."
Harston has also added hometown golfer Sarah McFarlin from David Lipscomb High School. McFarlin was a multiple sport standout in high school.
"Sarah is a great athlete," Harston said. "Besides being a good golfer, she played goalie on her high school's soccer team and made the Second-Team All-Midstate. She is highly motivated and will be a good asset to our golf team."
Next year's golf team will be made up entirely of underclassmen. This class will join MacKenzy Carter, Sabrina Ferreri, and Catherine Musser who will each be sophomores next season.

Anthony Gives Knicks Edge Over Nets
After some much needed time off as part of their trip to London — a trip that still doesn't totally make sense to me, but it looked like they had a reasonable time — the Knicks will resume their blossoming rivalry Monday night against the Nets.
In the wake of Mike D'Antoni's departure a season ago, there was some talk regarding the idea of trading Carmelo Anthony for Brooklyn's Deron Williams, a move that in hindsight would have proven a graduate of the school of terrible ideas. Anthony is not only having an MVP-caliber season, but he gives the Knicks a proven crunch-time scorer for the postseason, along with a well-defined identity as a team. The New York Times' Beckley Mason described the distinction well, and why it gives New York the postseason edge:
The Knicks know who they are and where to go at the end of games. In addition to his skills in the post, Anthony in the high pick-and-roll with Chandler has been a devastating crunchtime play that should serve them well in their playoff run. The Knicks may look a bit disjointed as they figure out a way to integrate Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert, but once Felton returns, the pieces of their spread pick-and-roll attack should slide back into place.
Brian DiMenna
I think this gets things exactly right. Both teams are having strong seasons, with the Nets getting red-hot since removing Avery Johnson from the bench, but it's Anthony who makes the Knicks the more dangerous playoff threat, albeit that's something I wouldn't have properly acknowledged as recently as last season. Deron Williams has certainly upped his game since the departure of Johnson, clearly preferring the sweet sounds of P.J. Carlesimo's voice to the angry chirping of the diminutive Johnson, but Anthony's dominance this season gives the Knicks the type of late-game weapon necessary for a deep playoff run. He's without a doubt the biggest difference between the two teams.
As for the Nets, I haven't watched enough of them since the switch to really comment on what exactly has changed, but it's always amazing to me how often the mid-season coaching change proves effective. Not to dismiss the skills of Carlesimo, but this is a fella whose player once loathed him so deeply he tried to strangle him to near death, now he's somehow just what the doctor ordered. So for whatever reason, instead of plotting to slowly kill him with their bare hands, Carlesimo's current charges are playing hard for him, making shots and turning around their season. Whatever works, I guess.

This 1973 drama is directed by Claude Whatham and filmed in color. This film stars David Essex, Ringo Starr, Rosemary Leach, James Booth, Billy Fury, Keith Moon, Rosalind Ayres, Brenda Bruce, Robert Lindsay.
Jim MacLaine is 18 and studying for his advanced level exams. But he finds his book work increasingly irksome. So much so that he packs a suitcase, hitches a lift to the coast, and soon finds a job. While working at a fairground he is invited to a university dance by his old friend Terry. He finds the people there irritating and 'square' and feels sufficiently 'left out' to quit the fairground and return home. Here he meets again Terry's sister Jeanette. They marry, and when their first child is born, Jim seems content. But it is not long before he once again walks out in search of freedom and irresponsibility.

J.J. Abrams rules the stars.
The lens flare-loving director is going from "Star Trek" to "Star Wars" -- as The Wrap reports that he will take the reigns for Disney's upcoming "Episode VII."
Abrams initially told Entertainment Weekly back in November that he wouldn't be directing the flick, telling the magazine "I have some original stuff I am working on next."
No word on what changed his mind, but Abrams was a clear favorite with fanboys when Disney first announced a new trilogy. This is the guy who made being a Trekkie cool again!
"Star Wars: Episode VII" is slated for a 2015 release, meaning Abrams would have jump right from "Star Trek Into Darkness" into the upcoming flick.
What do you think of the news? Are you worried the universes of "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" will look too similar with the same guy in control?
Sound off below!
2015 is going to be a HUGE summer -- with "The Avengers 2," "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" and a possible "Justice League" all expected to hit theaters around the same time.
Which are you most excited about?

Braidwood Unit 2 was placed back in service at 6:13 p.m. Sunday evening, meaning both units at Braidwood Station are online and making electricity for its customers.
Braceville, Illinois - Braidwood Unit 2 was placed back in service at 6:13 p.m. Sunday evening, meaning both units at Braidwood Station are online and making electricity for its customers.
Unit 2 automatically shut down on Monday, August 16 due to a main generator fault. The fault was attributed to an electrical ground in the Unit 2 electrical bus.
Braidwood Unit 1 was placed back in service at 3:57 a.m. Saturday. The unit automatically shutdown on Monday, August 16 after water came in contact with an electrical bus causing the system to de-energize.
"I want to thank our employees for their hard work in getting both units back in service," Braidwood Station Site Vice President Amir Shahkarami said.
Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts net at full power - enough electricity to power more than 2 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

The Women of Brukman (Les Femmes de la Brukman)
In 2001, against the background of Argentina's devastating economic collapse, a miraculous event occurred that quickly became a textbook case study for sociologists. A group of seamstresses at Brukman's clothing factory responded to their supervisors' abandonment of the plant by taking over the operation themselves. They soon reorganized the factory with a self-management business model, sans corporate hierarchy - nary a boss in sight. Isaac Isitan's documentary The Women of Brukman observes these brave and determined workers over several years - a period that witnesses them fighting to get the business back on its feet, being unjustly booted out by authorities, and grappling with the law to reclaim their right to manage the business. Throughout, Isitan not only views the group collectively, but provides stirring, stimulating biographical profiles of each courageous woman.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Alexander Mansion Historic Bed and Breakfast
Editor's Review
Simply put, all bed-and-breakfast inns should be like Alexander Mansion in Winona. Former innkeepers Lynn and Fred Ihrke meticulously restored this 1886 home, which was the long-time residence of Maude King Alexander, stepdaughter of the famed J.R. Watkins, who started the direct-selling company of the same name. The Ihrkes conducted extensive research on the time period and the home for faithful restorations of the 9,000-square-foot property. Soaking tubs remain in the bathrooms, for example, while CD players hide discreetly in the reproduction phonographs found in most rooms. New ownership under Richard Graybow.The five guest rooms are not only gorgeous, but sumptuous, featuring fine linens, robes and bath towels, plus Watkins toiletries. Gourmet chocolates and a glass of liqueur are left for guests each evening. In the morning, a full breakfast includes fruit salad, muffins, frittatas, coffee and juice and maybe even a small scoop of ice cream -- dusted with Watkins' famed cinnamon, of course.The large property features various nooks and crannies with benches and chairs, so couples can enjoy private space outside. A fire pit warms cool nights. On the top floor, renovations continue to transform the former billiard room into a game room for guests. The Ihrkes are happy to chat with guests, or discreetly disappear -- perfect B&B hosts at a perfect property. Rooms from $149; suites from $219.

The clamshell-shaped and rather sturdy-looking Samsung A137 may be cheap but it delivers. This very functional phone from Samsung is very useful when you always need to send text messages, instant messages and even email to your friends, coworkers, and family members. You can even talk to your friends through its speakerphones –especially useful when driving or when you got your hands full.
When you wake up in the morning, there is no more need to wait for the weather forecast because your phone is also a barometer. It does this by checking the local weather and will give you the weather forecast for the day in just a few clicks. If you are a baseball or basketball fan, you can check team scores through your Samsung A137 unlocked as well. Now that is something. Apart from that, if you are planning for a night in the town i.e. watching a movie, you can also consult with your Samsung A137 for movie listings provided to you through Samsung's Media Net.
The downside is, it looks a bit dull. There is no screen on the outside and no snapper. The screen is a rather low-resolution one so it is not fit for those who are used to having huge screens for their mobile devices.
You cannot download MMS through this phone so it would be the best choice if you were looking into purchasing phones for your kids. You will no longer have to worry about high bills for video and image messaging.
It does not have an MP3 player either. No FM radio and there is no USB port. This however is a cheap phone and can function very well when it comes to regular messaging. Whether it is for you or for your kids, it is a reliable and cheap choice.

The famous Martian meteorite, ALH84001, may finally be allowed to rest in peace. This particular rock possessed geological features that some scientists considered as fossil remains of some primitive bacteria. The structures look like a chain of miniature balls, typically 50-200 millionths of a millimeter across. Their tiny size earned them the name nanobacteria. But a recent study has determined that they may be nothing more than the product of decayed organic material.
Jürgen Schieber, of Indiana University in Bloomington, and Howard Arnott of the University of Texas at Arlington, have reported that "spherical balls of protein about 40-120 nanometers across are produced when organic material decays in an environment like that in which sedimentary rocks form" (Ball, 2003). Their paper, which appeared in the August issue of Geology, noted that they were able to produce "abundant proteinaceous spheroids in the size range of nanobacteria" (Schieber and Arnott, 2003, 31:717).
Previously, we have addressed the various assertions regarding life forms having been found in this meteorite (see: "Life on Mars—The Rest of the Story" and "Mars Rock Update"). One interesting point, discussed by science writer Philip Ball, is that since it was first claimed that these spherical balls might be nanobacteria, "some researchers have claimed to have grown nanobacteria in the laboratory."
Scheiber and Arnott believe the balls form when enzymes snip stretched protein fibers of muscle tissue or plant cell wall, causing them to contract. They suggest that these nanoballs could become mineralized before being completely degraded, and pointed out that fossilization can begin just a few weeks after the onset of decay. Obviously, this means that the material easily could have originated once the rock was here on the Earth. The authors concluded: "Most, if not all alleged nanobacterial structures in sedimentary rocks are not evidence for minute life forms" (Ball, 2003, emp. added). Send in the Mars rover, boys; this rock is nothing more than a rock.

This year, we've fielded lots of questions about the new UVA formulation and the fact that the SPF rating reduced from SPF 30 to SPF 20 as a result of the regulation. Our customers know that Lavera sunscreens were all natural, non-toxic and chemical free, but many were concerned if SPF 20 was enough to protect them from the sun. "I need a higher SPF product!" was the common request.
All the educational material available tell us the following:
- SPF 20 protects against 95% of all UVB rays, where as SPF 30 protects against 97% - only 2% more.
- The EU rules require UVA protection to be 1/3 of the SPF rating – so the SPF 20 provides SPF 6.7 against UVA
- Most chemical sunscreens provide little to no protection against UVA
- UVB rays are responsible for sunburn. UVA rays penetrate to the deeper layers of skin, and is a major factor in premature aging and skin cancer.
- Zinc Oxide (used in the Lavera UVA sunscreens) provides the best mineral based protection against UVA
Our sunscreen—put to the test
But really, we wanted to see this in action so we conducted a test! We contacted an avid surfer here in Washington and had him try his regular sunscreen (SPF 50 or higher) against the Lavera Sunscreen Lotion SPF 20.
We knew that surfing was tough on sunscreens — was it tough enough to hold up to the seas, sweat and chafing of Pacific Northwest Surfing. Would our sunscreen not rub off, leaving skin exposed, from contact with wetsuits, boards and waves? Would it be a fair comparison to put SPF 20 up against SPF 50 — that's 2.5 TIMES MORE SPF!!!
We eagerly awaited the results from the weekend. Monday we received the email and the pics – read for yourself!
"I spend my weekends in the outdoors. I surf at least once a week, and spend the rest of the weekend mountain biking, camping and hiking. Being from the Pacific NW (translation, pale white skin) I have to be extremely careful about sunburns on the odd day the sun comes out to play. Though I do wear a wetsuit for protection from the frigid water, my neck and face are exposed to bright sun which is intensified by reflections from the water.
Over the years it has really bothered me that I need to use chemical sunscreens. I long ago disposed of most chemical based products in my life for more organic / natural alternatives, but have stayed with chemical sunscreens as a necessary evil—because, lets face it, sunburns are very painful and dangerous, but still regularly get burned even with high performace (high SPF) commercial sunscreens.
A friend suggested I try out Lavera's Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 20 UVA OOB. I was hesitant at first—typically I go out surfing with nothing less than SPF 50, but my concerns were tempered by the realization European sunscreen ratings are quantified differently than by US standards of a bigger number is better.
My test day was a brilliantly sunny, cloudless, 85 degree Saturday. I went out for four hours, between 2PM and 6PM and came back with no burns—a better performance than my typical Banana Boat Sports Performance SPF 50 or my Coppertone Ultra Guard SPF 70. Though a little harder to rub in, the Lavera Sunscreen stays on in the water, providing a more effective, long-lasting and waterproof layer of protection—well suited for catching a few waves."

Mike Baxter could take Jason Bay's job in LF
Prior to yesterday's game against the Diamondbacks, Terry Collins told reporters Mike Baxter could take Jason Bay's starting job in left field when he returns from the disabled list.
"It could eventually pan out that way," Terry Collins explained. "I want to see where [Baxter] is when he gets back here."
Bay is hitting just .170 with five home runs and eight RBI in 106 at-bats this season. He's just 4-for-31 with a home run, two RBI, four walks, and ten strikeouts since returning from the disabled list on July 17.
Meanwhile, Baxter is hitting .333 (21-for-65) with eight RBI during his minor league rehab assignment. He is expected to rejoin the Mets at the beginning of the week.

Barbara West loves dogs and has been around animals all her life. What better experience and background to motivate her to open a dog grooming business.
Operating with the moto, "Big or Small, We do them all," West has located her business just off Carbonville Road, across the tracks from the bowling alley at 1170 West 1500 North.
West spent two years training in Overton, Nev. in the field and opened up K-9 Klips just a few months ago.
Her business specializes in older dogs or dogs with skin or coat problems. She calls it geriatric grooming and the care includes all forms of health and skin disorders.
In addition to that service she does normal dog grooming services like nail clipping, ear cleaning, baths, clipping, fluff dry, brushing and skin and coat treatments. She works on all breeds of dogs. K-9 Klips also offers flea dips and hot oil treatments. All grooming, include a coat and skin conditioning treatment.
"We live in such a dry climate that it is important to keep dogs' coats in good condition," she explained, comparing it to humans taking a bath without using skin creme or conditioners.
West also volunteers her services for the dogs at the shelter so they are more attractive for the adoption process. K-9 Klips does not use tranquilizers.
Although her office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 to 3 p.m. she will also open by appointment. She can be reached at 613-3647.

For a Lullaby Of Soft 100% Cotton Flannel, Sleep In Our Lanz Pajamas
Lanz Moonlight In Vermont Pajamas 4 4
Beautiful, though a bit small I am a size 6 and the small bottoms were tight, so I exchanged them for the medium. The medium was a bit big, but shrunk to the perfect width, but are now short. I love them too much to return again and plan to go buy fabric to sew on the bottom, because I love the fabric pattern and pockets. Just wish I could get some more of the cow fabric to put on the hem. May 20, 2014
comfy pjs Love wearing Lanz flannel pjs for winter! This is my second pair. Went with a large to allow for any shrinkage, and wash them in cold/delicate. I do put them in the dryer on low but haven't notices any shrinkage. Lots of lint the first washing! April 19, 2014
Great Lanz Quality, Whimsical Design These pajamas are made of wonderfully thick flannel - nothing cheap or flimsy about it! The quality fabric and eyelet trim are hallmarks of the traditional Lanz quality that I have enjoyed for many years. An added bonus - the bottoms have deep pockets - great for your phone as you lounge at home. Fit is true to size. I am a size M and both top and bottom fit well. No notable shrinkage after first few washings. And of course, who can resist the cows jumping over the moon? January 7, 2014
Weird sizing! Had to have these when I saw the cows. . . especially with fond memories of Lanz from childhood. In a size Small, the top is what you'd expect, but the pants are enormous! I mean it. This isn't a matter of "oh, it will shrink when washed". December 28, 2013

There is a text message scam circulating revolving several local financial institutions, and customers are encouraged not to fall for it.
Happy State Bank and Amarillo Nation Bank customers have reported getting text messages saying their card has been deactivated. In the message, the customer is asked to call a 806-576-###. Once the number is called, a recorded voice will ask for the person to enter their full 16-digit card number and PIN.
Those who did fall victim to the scam are asked to call their bank immediately, as well as the police.

Women & Psoriasis
Diet & Psoriasis
Women & Psoriatic Arthritis
Info Kit
Having a chronic disease such as psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis impacts how you interact with your doctor. Chronic diseases require you to become a partner in your own health care and an advocate for your health and well-being.
The work you do before the appointment can improve your experience. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your appointment with your doctor.
Track your symptoms—Keeping track of your daily symptoms will give your dermatologist and/or rheumatologist a better idea of how your disease is progressing. Take notes on your flares: intensity, frequency, location, etc.
Have a clear goal—Know before you go what your specific reason is for the appointment. Do you have symptoms you need checked out? Is your current treatment not working and do you need to explore other options? If you know what you want the end result to be (a new prescription, a referral, advice, etc.), your time with the doctor will be well spent.
Make a list—If there is any information you don't want to forget to mention to your doctor, write it down. This can include:
Making the appointment—There are things you can do when you make the appointment that will make things go smoother. If you can, get an appointment in the early morning or after lunch. These time slots can have shorter waiting times. Tell the receptionist if you think you will need longer time than a typical appointment. This is important if you have a lot of questions or symptoms you need to discuss with your doctor.
Your role doesn't stop when you arrive at the doctor's office. People with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis need to be partners with their doctor when it comes to their care. Here are some ideas as to how you can be a good partner.
Be patient—The average patient waits 19 minutes for a scheduled appointment, according to the American Medical Association. That can seem like an eternity when you're ready to work with your doctor. Here are a few strategies to improve your waiting room experience:
Be specific—Communicate clearly by describing symptoms as precisely as possible. For example, instead of saying, "My knee hurts," say "There is a sharp, piercing pain on the outside of my left knee, under the knee cap." Be specific about your symptoms in order to help your doctor narrow the list of possible diagnoses. It also may help prevent extra tests. Also, let your doctor know when the symptoms strike. Are they always there, or only during certain activities? This is when tracking your symptoms will come in handy.
Be prepared—This is where the lists you made before the appointment will be beneficial. If you are seeing a new doctor, be ready to describe your history and previous medications. Having notes about this will make it easier to remember all the details your doctor needs. If you tend to freeze in this situation, bring a trusted friend or family member who knows your condition and can speak for you.
Have your list of questions ready, and write down the doctor's responses. If you brought someone with you, you can have him or her take notes as you speak with the doctor. Work with your doctor to choose the best treatment for you, these questions will help.
Wear clothes that are easy to slip in and out of. Also, don't wear makeup. This will allow your doctor to get an accurate view of your skin.
Be honest—If you don't understand anything your doctor is saying, speak up. Don't be afraid to say, "I don't understand." If you aren't sure about a recommended treatment, ask questions. Also, if your doctor is recommending a treatment that you don't think is right for your lifestyle, let him or her know. It's okay to ask about other treatment options.
If you aren't using a treatment the way your doctor prescribed, tell him or her. This affects how well a treatment works for you. It may be hard to admit that you didn't follow "doctor's orders," but it's valuable information, especially if a treatment is not working.
Once the appointment ends, don't think you're off the hook! This is the time to follow your doctor's advice and continue to learn about your condition.
Treatment compliance—Once you and your doctor settle on a plan, follow through with it. It is good to give a new treatment eight to 12 weeks to see if it will work. Half of all patients do not adhere to the treatment plan prescribed by their doctors. However, using treatments properly can make a significant difference in how well they work. Sticking with a treatment takes time and commitment.
Make a new list—If you are on several medications, it can be difficult to keep all of the doctor's orders straight. Keep all of the directions in one place. Keep track of the various medications that you are on, when you need to take or apply them, and how you are reacting to the treatment. This will be helpful when you follow up with your doctor at your next appointment.
Communication—A good relationship with your doctor starts with honest communication. Get in touch with your doctor if your symptoms are worsening after starting a new treatment.
