It is no secret that Facebook as a platform has been the most rapidly expanding internet presence over the course of the last few years, but the company announced today that they have reached the landmark 100 millionth Facebook app download. When the service first launched their apps shortly after Facebook became the most popular online social networking tool it was not clear if the apps would catch on; up until that point they had been mostly associated with mobile devices and many developers were not clear on how the apps would intertwine with the Facebook interface and were worried about clutter on news feeds.
All of the apps were silently offered through GetJar, a vendor that is carrier neutral and offered all of the Facebook apps for downloads. As more and more unlocked cell phone users crave an increase in the number of apps available to them as well as the platforms that these apps are available for, it will be interesting to see if Facebook Apps continue to rise in popularity. After all, it was just a few months ago that Facebook announced that they had reached 50 million downloads of their apps. They have now more than doubled that number in a very short span of time.
GetJar is now reporting that they are bringing in more than 3 million downloads per day, which is in line with the Nokia app store download mark and is nearly one third of the number of downloads that are being recorded from the Apple App Store.
GetJar has received additional funding in recent months and secured deals with both Yahoo and AOL to allow them to expand the number of platforms and availability of their instantly downloadable mobile apps that have been gaining popularity in recent months.
PureMobile carries a wide range of cell phones accessories and unlocked cell phones like BlackBerry Bold 9700, Samsung Captivate i897 unlocked, etc

Hello, everyone!
I'm new here on pitbull forum and i'm from Mexico. I will get a new brand doggy friend this December. Actually he is going to be my very first dog and i want an American Pitbull and i'm reading all what i can about dogs and the respective training they need.
So, here's the thing: I'm in contact with two breeders, one of them have a cute blue nose puppy that looks very nice. He sent me the picture of his dad... this is the picture:
He told me that its an American Pitbull but actually I see something that looks some kind of unfamiliar on the shape of his head. All pitbulls a have watched look the head more like a circle and the mouth not so out.
Can you guys with the simple watch of the pic can tell me if it seems like a legit American Pitbull or its some sort of scam?
Thank you!

I don't know about your installation:
hd0 and hd1 one is on the primary controller as a master, and where did you put the 2nd?
primary controller slave?
secondary controller master or slave? you have a cdrom or dvd
knowing where you have installed each of your systems,
you must write them down on a piece of paper:
hd0 is the 1st drive (on primary controller), then the 2nd HD will be hd1
hda is the primary master HD is in pc terms: hd0
hdb is the primary slave HD hd1
hdc is the secondary master HD hd2
hdd is the secondary slave and in my case is the cd-rom would be hd3 if was a HD
my 2nd HD is on same controller as the cd-rom and is labelled hdc in /dev/hdc . Hence the /boot/grub/grub.conf file (bootloader for fedora) will use both names hd0 and hda for the 1st HD)
Take a look at debian /boot/grub/menu.lst (= grub.conf in fedora, both files are written on the same pattern) I have debian grub which I update to accommodate each newly installed linux, fedora and others...
--------beginning of the section you want to take a look at:
# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
# linux installation on /dev/hda2
title Fedora Core (184.108.40.206-61.fc6) (/dev/hda2)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-184.108.40.206-61.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-188.8.131.52-61.fc6.img
--------this should actually suit your installation if you've installed fedora on partition 2 of 1st HD aka hd0,1 (because in pc terms, we start counting partitions from 0) while linux system counts the /dev/hda2 from (hda1, hda2... from 1, not from 0) that's why my fedora is here installed on my primary master drive on the partition 2. hd0,1 aka hda2 -
while debian is on the 1st partition of the 2nd HD (secondary controller as master, which in pc terms is hd1 (since I have no other HD as primary slave) . Then in linux terms, it names the hd1,0 (remember we start the partitions at 0) as hdc1
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-5-amd64
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-amd64 root=/dev/hdc1 ro
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18-5-amd64
don't panic with above debian root in hd0,0 (that's because I have place the /boot on its own part ition, 1st part of my 1st HD, so hd0,0), I may be confusing you here, if I do please accept my apologies. Just that my 1st HD is booting first and that's where I wanted my main system (debian) to have its /boot (bootloader) to launch all systems spread out on both HDs.
All that was to explain you that you have to edit the fredora grub.conf (text file) to start Windows,
and for that you must add:
title Windows 95/98/NT/2000/vista
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
by editing accordingly hd0,0 to suit your the location of vista on your drive?
of course you should also think about setting the drive with the boot loader (/boot/grub/grub.conf) to start first, so you do that from your BIOS, check which one is which on the 1st page of the BIOS.
but of course you must be able to start Linux first, so you could use the same disk as for your installation and do a system repair.
then, to be sure you can edit that grub.conf easily, you must log in as root and change the permissions:
chmod 664 /boot/grub/grub.conf
then from your desktop you can open the file and edit, otherwise if you don't know how to edit from the command line with vi editor it would only be another nightmare.
once edited and rebooted it will present you a menu for both linux fedora and vista.
I just hope I have been clear enough.
Can you let me know if you could manage to start and edit the grub.conf and have now both systems starting?
if you can't, the last option is to reinstall linux, which will take care of windows in the grub.conf for you. You could take advantage of that to resize the partitions and have more systems, try debian, gentoo, suse, you've so much space... they don't need so much.

CANTON Teachers in the Canton Central School District will contribute to their health insurance premiums for the first time under a new contract agreement reached with the district.
The four-year pact also calls for salary increases of 3.5 percent in the first year, followed by 3 percent each of the remaining three years.
Superintendent William A. Gregory said the health insurance contributions are expected to save the district nearly $300,000 over the four-year period.
In light of both the projected savings that would not have been realized without this agreement and the ever-increasing demands and expectations placed upon our professional staff, we believe this settlement to be both fair and fiscally responsible to all concerned, Mr. Gregory said in an email message.
The contract requires members of the Canton Central Teachers Association to contribute 3 percent of their premiums this school year, 5 percent next school year, 7.5 percent for 2014-15 and 10 percent for 2015-16.
Union members who retire after June 30, 2014, will pay a fixed dollar amount toward health insurance thats equal to their contribution level at the time of their retirement.
Kristen J. Ames, association co-president, said the teachers union decided contributing to the health insurance premiums was the best way to help address the rising health care expenses.
Clearly, health insurance premium costs have been a polarizing issue in our community, Mrs. Ames said. It was determined this was the best way for this to be addressed.
This year, the districts annual premium cost for family coverage is $19,320; two-person, $14,880, and individual, $7,440.
In past years, the union has helped reduce the districts health care expenses by agreeing to higher copayments for medical visits and prescriptions.
The new agreement doesnt include wage increases for coaches or extracurricular advisers.
Under the new salary schedule, the starting Step 1 salary for teachers is $38,897 this school year. That will increase to $39,600 next year, $40,100 in 2014-15 and $40,702 in 2015-16.
The board approved the contract during a special meeting this week. It replaces a contract that expired in June.
The union represents teachers, teacher assistants, teacher aides, librarians, guidance counselors and school nurses.
Mr. Gregory said the contract negotiations between the union and board members were characterized by frank, constructive dialogue.
The talks were guided by a recognition of significant added responsibilities required of teaching staff stemming from state mandates, as well as increased teaching loads and larger class sizes, he said.
We believe that the subsequent negotiated agreement successfully balances the interests of all our educational communitys stakeholders, Mr. Gregory said.
Explaining the savings, he said the district would be obliged to pay salary step increases to the teachers as required by the states Triborough Agreement, which continues the terms of any expired contract until a new agreement supersedes it. Over the next four years, those legally mandated step increases are projected to cost $575,000.
The salary increases in the new contract will cost an additional $149,000 over that same period.
The health insurance premium contributions will return an estimated $445,000 over the life of the contract, resulting in a net savings of nearly $300,000, Mr. Gregory said.

Submission Apple wants another $707 million from Samsung-> 1
angry tapir writes: "A California jury may have awarded Apple more than US$1 billion in damages in late August when it triumphed over Samsung in a hard-fought case over smartphone and tablet patents, but the iPhone maker is coming back for more: late last week it asked for additional damages of $707 million. The request includes an enhanced award of $535 million for willful violation of Apple's designs and patents, as well as about $172 million in supplemental damages based on the fact that the original damages were calculated on Samsung's sales through June 30."

You've decided where you're going and who you're spending it with, but the most pressing question remains: what are you going to wear on New Year's Eve? Considering it's the one night of the year when it's completely appropriate--and even highly encouraged--to have some festive fun with your fashion, we've put together two different looks for your end-of-year events. So raise a glass of bubbly and get ready to ring in 2013 with these perfectly party-ready outfits!Look 1: Luxe Tux
Inspired by Giambattista Valli Resort 13's cool black-tie interpretation--the Jacket in Tweed ($2116) and Shorts in Cotton Sangallo with Flowers ($1124)--we assembled a polished look that offers a similarly playful take on the tuxedo. Step #1: Start With A Blazer & Shirt The key to this outfit lies in a sharp jacket, like Willow & Clay's Velvet Blazer ($98, 1.877.866.6287), and chic button-down, like Massimo Dutti's Silk Shirt with Handkerchief ($90) in Ivory. Combined, these separates offer a cool tactile mix. Step #2: Add Tailored Shorts Don't feel like you're confined to head-to-toe black: you can lend some color to your look with Tommy Hilfiger's navy Tuxedo Shorts ($128). Step #3: Finish With Streamlined Accents Complement this crisp outfit with sleek accessories, like Alejandro Ingelmo's Lucia Pointed Toe Pumps ($495) and Kate Spade New York's All Hours Stroke of Midnight Georgie Clutch ($98), a cheeky purse that guarantees your look's not overly buttoned-up. Finally, Juicy Couture's Princess Cut Cluster Adjustable Ring ($88) lends just the right amount of glamour, making your outfit just as memorable as your night.
Look 2: Lady in Lace
Lanvin's F/W 12 collection included an ultra-feminine, lacy frock paired with bright evening gloves and a statement necklace--an over-the-top look that's ideal for any New Year's Eve celebration. Step #1: Find The Perfect Dress We suggest starting with Robert Rodriguez's Strapless Lace Peplum Dress ($325) in Gold. This frock hints at a throwback to the '80s, albeit with more sophisticated flair. Step #2: Enhance Your Neckline A bare neckline just begs for adornment-in this case, a dazzling necklace like Lulu Frost's Demeter Collar ($310). Step #3: Top Off With High-Impact Accessories Since this look's all about more-is-more (and having fun with it), a few self-indulgent pieces are a must. Add texture with Portolano's Silk Lined Gloves ($290, 212.719.4403) and Coach's Poppy Feather Small Bag ($398). Finally, polish it all off with Charles David's sleek Marcasite Heels ($198) and you're set for a truly stylish midnight countdown!--Tiffany Tse

"A muse for romantic poets and hideaway for Hollywood heartthrobs, the Italian Lakes are the classic, centuries-old retreat for smart Europeans," says Condé Nast Traveller. Spend a week on the shore of Lake Como for £449 per person with this deal from Voyager Travel Direct.
Saving £300 on the usual price, the offer includes:
Depart from London Gatwick on 1, 8 June. Upgrade to a Lake View Balcony Room for an extra £50 per person, or a Lake View Terrace Room for an extra £80.
Hotel Bazzoni sits beside Lake Como in the centre of Tremezzo, Northern Italy. Furnished in a traditional Italian style, it has an outdoor pool, a Jacuzzi, a landscaped garden with sunbeds and free towels, a lounge and bar, a restaurant, a terrace overlooking the lake and live music twice a week after dinner. Opposite the hotel you'll find a bus and a ferry stop.
The 2000-year-old walled city of Como, on the south shore of the lake, can be reached in 35 minutes by car. Renowned for its fine silk production, it has cobbled pedestrian streets, pretty parks and bustling cafes. Lake Como is 30 miles long from north to south, and is Europe's deepest lake at around 1350 feet. You can travel the length of the lake by ferry, hopping off to visit the villages, villas, and gardens or stay on board to enjoy the views.
The Guardian notes that "Lake Como is so beautiful, so peaceful and so crammed full of great restaurants" -- so it will come as no surprise that its famous residents include George Clooney, Richard Branson and Donatella Versace.

Out of Stock Product Number: 37186

I had assumed that the battery being called "lithium ion" in the press was actually a lithium ion polymer battery. That distinction is that there is no liquid electrolyte sloshing about in the cell of a polymer battery. The 787 battery is airborn vibrating in flight for hours as well as rapidly accelerating and decelerating. No wonder holes are blown through the seperator walls. Not to mention the separator is less than one ten-thousandths of an inch thick! How can you make a material that thin to any meaningful tolerence?
You need to build a containment device that will contain the propensity of the materials in the 787 design to catch fire. It appears the drive towards lighter and smaller neglected that little tidbit as evidenced by the picture of the battery that failed. One should also have a reservior to contain liquid electrolyte forced out of the rupture valves rather than spewing flaming hot material all over the electronics bay.
The bay itself looks like there is a bit of space left for a larger, safer battery. Perhaps a back-up unit too.
I will be honest, from the photos of the battery pack, it contained the cells a lot better than imagined. That's what makes it so hard for armchair engineers.
I also wonder if Japan's investigators have found the same results from their examination of the battery pack?
I find it difficult to understand why Boeing would allow the entire future of the 787 to be jeopardized by two small batteries. After all of the state of the art engineering that went into the 787 are we now to remain grounded over a battery?

"I'm a senior (citizen) myself," she said.
Metzel, 77, of Shrewsbury is an aerobics instructor who works with the senior citizens group at Stewartstown United Methodist Church.
"As I got older . . . the senior classes were really important," she said of teaching aerobics to older men and women.
Students in the classes also form friendships, she said.
"It's an opportunity for a social life for seniors," she said.
Stewartstown resident Sue Hopple, 68, started taking the aerobics class about two months ago in a "desperate need for exercise," she said.
"It's a safe place to go," she said, adding she made new friends at the exercise group who drive her to the senior center for the aerobic classes. "It's just one of the nicest groups of people I've ever been around . . . That is a real blessing."
Hopple said the exercise classes nurture her physical and emotional health.
"You just feel great," she said.
Hopple also said Metzel inspires her to stay physically fit.
"Barb . . . is just lovely," Hopple said.
"Barb is very motivational," said Hopewell Township resident Debbie Roberts, 55, of Metzel. Roberts started taking Metzel's exercise class, which includes strength training with weights, over two years ago.
"It's a really good all-around class," Roberts said. "Barb is very motivational. She's in phenomenal shape."
The regular group workout helps build energy, Roberts said.
"I feel so much better after I go to the class," she said. "She keeps us moving."
Other local senior centers also offer group exercise classes.
Steve Newport has been instructing a fitness class at Northeastern Senior Center in Mount Wolf for about
12 years.
"In 1995 I started going to senior centers to teach classes," Newport said via email. "Two years later my mother passed away far before she should have. (I) redoubled my efforts to make sure the seniors I was working with were going to remain independent as long as possible, to have mobility, a sense of strength and well-being, regardless of their shape and the condition of their bodies."
Newport said he bonds well with seniors and enjoys instructing the group at Northeastern.
"They're a whole lot of fun, quick witted and eager to laugh while
they learn," he said.
Programs at your center
SENIOR CENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTY offer a variety of fitness programs including:
· September House, 1251 W. King St., West York, features an exercise room — which includes bicycles, treadmills, elliptical machines and weights — that's open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.

The center is looking for a volunteer Zumba Gold instructor, said Heather Hawkins, program coordinator, via email.
"Many of my seniors get their exercise by different activities that are provided throughout the day," she said. "We also play charades, balloon pop, indoor horse shoes and many other interactive games. I love to play along with them. Watching their faces and hearing them talk about how much fun they have is so rewarding."
Hawkins said group activities at the senior center help members "make up a unique family."
· "We offer a variety of programs for our older adults," said Tammy Miller of Windy Hill Senior Center in Spring Grove, via email.
Zumba Gold — a slower version of the regular Zumba — meets at 9 a.m. Mondays. Line dancing is held at 1 p.m. Tuesdays and polka dance happens at 1 p.m. Thursdays.
"In addition, we have a class called Healthy Steps in Motion, which meets on Wednesdays at 11 a.m.," she said. "This class focuses on strength and balance to prevent falls. We have several 90-something members who participate in this class. I feel very strongly that they are as healthy as they are because they stay very active."
· The South Central York County Senior Center, 150 E. Main St., New Freedom, offers line dancing, dancersize class, Zumba Gold, daily isometric exercise class and "daily walking in our gym area," said Sandra F. Wehr, the center's executive director.

Today's man is stylish and cosmopolitain, well-connected and well dressed. And it's about time we found a laptop bag that answered to that. Good thing then that we at Pure Mobile recently came across the LE Rush from Be.ez.
Designed for MacBook Air and Macbook Pro up to 13-inch, It's one of the top styles we've seen in laptop travel bags for men on the go. Simple and classic, it's got the look of a sleek messenger bag – that all-season menswear staple – but comes with the storage, organization and protection you need for your MacBook laptop.
As much as we love the exterior of the LE Rush, especially in the modern and masculine brown and black "Black Coffee" finish, there ought to be something said here for its interior and for the quality of its construction.
Made with a high-durability and low-maintenance nylon outer, it's strong and dirt resistant, with handles and removable strap for either briefcase or messenger carrying styles.
On the inside, it boasts a custom-fit compartment for MacBook Air and MacBook pro laptops of up to 13 inches, with high-density padding to protect your device. There's also place for documents and a front pocket with contrasting brown inner on the flap for extra storage, so its really the only bag you need for work or school.
With the LE Rush Bag, Be.ez has done well by modern men, serving up a travel bag that looks more like fashion that it does a mobile accessory, but which offers the protection, comfort and organization you need from a laptop bag. It's just one thing that'll make your busy life that much easier, and it looks good to boot.

Someday in the not-too-distant future, Jefferson County residents may be able to send text messages and videos to the 911 dispatch center.
But first, the county needs to upgrade its analog equipment to a digital system, a project that will cost more than $600,000, according to an update about the proposal delivered at the Board of Legislators General Services Committee meeting Tuesday night.
The upgrade would be for both hardware and software and eventually would allow the county to handle digital communications such as texts, data, images and video.
Jefferson County Director of Fire and Emergency Management Joseph D. Plummer told board members that the project will cost approximately $610,000 but that most of the money will come from state and federal grants.
The countys share will be only about $130,000, of which $37,000 already has been allocated for regularly scheduled maintenance on the analog system, Mr. Plummer said.
A federal Emergency Management Preparedness Grant for $47,458 in 2013 and a projected $47,458 in 2014 and a state Homeland Security Program grant for a projected $90,000 also will go toward the purchase.
The bulk of the money for the upgrade will come through a $295,524 Public Safety Answering Point grant awarded to the county by the state in May.
When the announcement about the nearly $300,000 award was made, Mr. Plummer welcomed it as good news but said it was not enough to complete the work needed to upgrade the system properly.
The money for the Public Safety Answering Point grant comes from a $1.20 public safety communications surcharge assessed on the wireless phone bills of all state residents every month, resulting in revenue that is well over $220 million per year, Mr. Plummer said.
The problem is that most of that money is being dumped into the states general fund instead of being spent on emergency call centers, he said.
Of that $220 million, $25.5 million goes to the state police, $10 goes million to the counties and $1.5 million goes to the state emergency services revolving loan fund. Last year, an additional $30 million was paid out to counties on a competitive-grant basis.
In 2013, the amount paid out via competitive grants is supposed to go up to $70 million.
Even with that increased number, at least $133 million went straight into the states general fund in 2012 a black hole, as Mr. Plummer described it.
Proposed legislation in the state Senate and Assembly would change the distribution model from dollar amounts to a percentage-based formula, with 58.3 percent going to the counties and 41.7 percent split between the state police and the revolving loan fund.
At the end of the last legislative session, the Senate version of the bill had passed but the measure was still in the Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly.
So far, the Public Safety Answering Point grant is the only revenue source that has been secured, County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III said.
He said the proposed project has been discussed at length in the boards ad hoc radio committee, steered by first-term Legislator Anthony J. Doldo, R-Watertown.
Mr. Doldo said Mr. Plummers update was intended to give board members an idea of the scope of the project so county officials could begin to set aside funds for the upgrade.
The ad hoc committee is composed of Legislators Barry M. Ormsby, R-Belleville, and Philip N. Reed, R-Fishers Landing, in addition to Mr. Doldo, and also is working on a massive project to overhaul the countys public safety communications infrastructure.
The cost of that project has been projected at anywhere from $15 million to $25 million, as the county may have to construct several radio towers to enhance mobile communications in the area.
The board is awaiting the preliminary results of a study about the project being conducted by Blue Wing Services Inc., a St. Paul, Minn., communications consultant.
Blue Wing is in Jefferson County this week meeting with local emergency medical service and fire department representatives.
After receiving updates about both projects from Mr. Plummer, the General Services Committee meeting was recessed until next week.
An initial report about its findings is expected when the General Services Committee meeting reconvenes next Thursday.

If you travel across the great savannahs of Africa, you will come upon animals of all shapes and sizes. Yet, as you look among them, none of these animals stands as tall as the giraffe. If you take a closer look, you might see the giraffe perform an amazing feat—bend down to get a drink of water. The giraffe is the world's tallest terrestrial animal, and can reach well over 12 feet in height. As the giraffe leans over to get a drink, there are some interesting features at work beneath its famously patterned skin. One of these elements is the giraffe's elongated neck. Evolutionary theory has tried for decades to explain the phenomenon of the giraffe's neck, but such conjectures cannot account to the anatomical and physiological mastery exhibited in the giraffe. William R. Corliss observed in his book, Biological Anomalies: "In sum, Nature is very anomalous or, equivalently, Nature is not yet well understood. Much remains to be done" (1995, p. v, emp. in orig.). Could there be a reason for animals such as the giraffe to be so uncharacteristically diverse?
There are other animals that have extended necks. As Corliss went on to note: "Several mammalian browsers have developed particularly long necks that help them reach high foliage; viz., the dibatags and gerenuks" (p. 106). But of all the long-necked animals, the giraffe is probably the most mind-boggling. Corliss contrasted the giraffe with other such creatures: "But, the giraffe's neck is so long that major body modifications were required during the (supposed) evolution from short-necked okapi-like animals" (p. 106, parenthetical item in orig.).
Let us assume for a moment that the giraffe really did evolve by chance processes over time. In order for the giraffe's neck to lengthen, the heart would need to be able to pump harder in order to push blood up the neck to the brain. Bristol Foster, writing in National Geographic, commented on the giraffe's heart: "To drive blood eight feet up to the head, the heart is exceptionally large and thick-muscled, and the blood pressure—twice or three times that of man—is probably the highest in any animal" (1977, p. 409). For the giraffe to survive, its heart would have to evolve concurrently with the neck.
While this change is occurring, the giraffe might want to lap up water from a nearby lake. The giraffe would spread its forelegs and bend its neck below body level to drink the water. If you have ever been upside down for any period of time, then you know the feeling of blood rushing to your head. In the same way, the giraffe's heart is so large and powerful that it normally would shoot a hefty amount of blood into the brain, causing a possibly fatal increase of blood pressure in the giraffe's head. This does not happen, though, because of specialized valves contained within the vessels of the giraffe's neck. These valves work to block the blood being pumped to the brain during the giraffe's water break. Furthermore, if the giraffe were to see a predator and try to run from it just after bending over, you would expect it to pass out because its blood pressure had dropped so low. Once again, however, the same network of valves saves the giraffe by routing the blood in a way that keeps the blood pressure constant. Where did these valves come from? And how did they evolve simultaneously with the heart and neck? Evolution has no answers.
Many hospitals use what are known as gravity suits. These ensembles prevent fluid retention (edema) in the lower extremities. The giraffe has a built-in antigravity suit that prevents blood pooling and edema. The two portions of the giraffe's body that help in the function of this system are its tough skin and its fascia (connecting tissue). So, in order to survive, the giraffe must have evolved a longer neck, a heart to push blood up the neck, special valves to maintain its blood pressure, and an antigravity suit to resist the extreme pressure that is routinely produced. Did these structures arrive by coincidence?
The list of what must have evolved "in sync" with the rest of the giraffe's anatomy is lengthy and impressive. Evolutionist Robert Wesson stated:
The protogiraffe had not only to lengthen neck vertebra (fixed at seven in mammals), but had to make any concurrent modifications: the head, difficult to sustain atop the long neck, became relatively smaller.... Big lungs were necessary to compensate for breathing through a tube 10 feet long; many muscles, tendons, and bones had to be modified harmoniously; the forelegs were lengthened with corresponding restructuring of the frame; and many reflexes had to be reshaped (1991, p. 226, parenthetical item in orig.).
As Wesson noted, these processes had to come into existence at the same time! The head had to be miniaturized in order to rest on the top of a 15-foot-high giant. Plus, the giraffe's lungs are eight times the size of an average human's in order for it to breathe through a ten-foot-long trachea. And every structural support must reshape to match the new form of the neck. Any statistician (or physiologist) would balk at the probability of a creature evolving these extreme characteristics.
Evolution suggests that nature would have "selected" these long-necked mutants over those that could not reach higher foliage (see Corliss, p. 106). But male giraffes (who are around two feet taller than females) would survive, while the shorter females would die off. Yet we still see both males and females alive today. Additionally, fossils that could provide evidence as to the evolution of the giraffe remain elusive. Francis Hitching mentioned: "There are no intermediate fossils showing a quarter-length giraffe neck" (1982, p. 30). The evidence inexorably leads away from evolution. The giraffe's coordinated innovations are a testament to design in the animal kingdom. From its long neck to its antigravity-suit skin, the giraffe's diverse nature flouts the theory of evolution, and instead embraces the opposite concept—design.

Dr.Rapaport is one of the compassionate person/doctor I have met. When I had food poisoning and felt nauseous and throwing up sensation in the office the genuine care he showed was very admirable. Some of the front staff could learn from him in being polite. The back office who attended me was good even though she was new. Wonder where Dr.Rapaport is working now...

PHILADELPHIA A walking bridge crosses a small island on the Indian River to lead from the village downtown to the area of Kent Lane Park and Philadelphia Primary School alongside Route 11.
Residents use the bridge daily, yet drivers whizzing by on the highway overhead dont notice it, because the island is thick with trees and brush. That soon will change, however, with a project designed to transform the site into a village landmark and show it off to encourage more businesses to open here.
The trees are coming down so when youre looking through on Route 11 to Main Street, youll be able to see all of the businesses here, said Matthew J. Montroy, mayor since 2009. We wanted to build something thats pleasing to the eyes. The idea is to get people to come, and in turn, get businesses to come.
After four years of planning, the village is putting final touches on a $459,083 project to build Gateway Island Park. Mid-way across the bridge will be a 568-square-foot, semicircular deck with benches. Lighting will be installed and aluminum railings will replace a chain-link fence. Bronze signs will greet people, who will be able to lock their bicycles at either end of the walkway.
The newly landscaped island itself will not be accessible for public safety reasons, although it will showcase a large statue and flagpole. Steps from the bridge onto the island as shown in architectural renderings will be for workers only.
The project hatched by village planners in 2009 was made possible by a $351,000 grant from the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The village will be responsible for matching 25 percent, or $87,750, of that grant. The remaining $108,083 of the cost will come from the village revitalization fund, which contains about $1 million. That money was acquired over the years from the sale of the villages hydroelectric plant on Gardner Road, which is now owned by Fortis U.S. EnergyCorp., Newfoundland.
Mr. Montroy said the blueprint for the project is being finalized by Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown. It is expected to get final approval soon from the state parks office, which would enable construction work to be put out to bid this fall. Workers are expected to break ground on the project in the spring.
The large statue to be exhibited on the island will be paid for as an additional cost by the village, Mr. Montroy said, because the revitalization committee hasnt selected a statue and is still taking suggestions from residents. The statue could feature Frenchman Jacques Le Ray de Chaumont, a historical figure who in 1802 sold land to the Quakers that became the village of Philadelphia in 1804.
Gateway Island Park is just one of a litany of improvements outlined in the downtown revitalization plan completed by the village in 2011, Mr. Montroy said. Other projects include starting a walking trail along the Indian River, rehabilitating downtown buildings and facades, installing new lighting on Main Street and updating zoning laws to make them business-friendly. The latter goal has been worked on every month over the past year by members of the village zoning committee.
Were going through all of the zoning laws line by line, because we want to make it easy for a business to meet with our Planning Board and get a clear set of guidelines for projects, Mr. Montroy said.
This fall, the village plans to demolish two old buildings at 59 and 61 Main St. that it owns across from its office at 56 Main St., Mr. Montroy said. Demolishing those buildings will clear space to build a two-story building there in 2014 that will become its new office. The current office, which will be vacated under the plan, then could be sold to a business interested in moving downtown.
Three businesses are on Main Street: Sylvias Antiques, Natures Warehouse and Upstate National Bank.

Beginning of the Great Revival, known as The Founding of a Party in China and a companion piece to 2009's blockbuster The Founding of a Republic, details the historic events surrounding what is referred to as the Chinese Revolution, the period from 1911 to 1921, when Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing Dynasty and planted the roots of what has become today's Chinese Communist government. The story shows the beginnings of the country's most influential first-generation leaders, including Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai.

11 Tips to Save You $1000 This Year
A residential safe is a smart investment for a family that needs to store important paperwork and valuable belongings. But how would you feel if you knew a thief could break into your safe in less than 5 minutes with just a crowbar and a screwdriver?
Thats not to say an ordinary residential safe is insecure; rather, not all of these hefty and seemingly impenetrable cubes are as tough as they look. Household safes are at the bottom end of a security scale that goes all the way up to military-grade protection, and the people who test new safes to see how secure they really are get to spend their days on a test range, firing guns and detonating explosives to probe the limits of secure containers.
Recently, we got to hang out with testers at Brown Safe. It's up to these people to assign a rating to every safe Brown makes, according to the ratings set up by Underwriter's Laboratories back in the 1800s. The lowest level is a Residential Security Container (RSC) rating. That means the unit can resist an attack from common tools for 5 minutes. From there, the classifications get more serious. Next up is the TL-15 rating, which means the safe must resist an attack on the door for 15 minutes by a would-be invader using tools. The highest of all the UL ratings is TXTL-60X6. That means the safe can withstand a fire torch, explosives (8 ounces of nitroglycerin!), and a crowbar and other tools hammering away on all six sides for 1 hour.
We spent a day at Brown's California testing ground, watching the team test a few of their latest safes (and their competitors') against a variety of tool attacks, as well as more aggressive tactics—like a 50-caliber rifle.
Why such extreme measures? Brown has been making safes for 30 years, but these days, a criminal can learn how to break into a conventional safe by watching videos on YouTube. "Safe development is a continual process. It's a constant cat-and-mouse game," Brown Safe vice president Lynel Berryhill says.
About 40 percent of Brown's total sales each year come from military products. Since 2005, the company has been testing safes with ballistic steel. So the top residential safe models are built with a core of ballistic steel. Basically, it's the same stuff the military uses for armoring Humvees to shield the occupants from small-and medium-arms fire and IEDs, and it meets the Department of Defense V50 Ballistic Test for Armor. "We build the vault doors for embassies, armories, and anything that stores weapons or classified documents. That's us," Berryhill says. "Fort Bragg has a facility containing just about every weapon made. They basically have a library of weapons that takes up a huge space, and our doors are on the front."
What Brown won't tell us (or anyone) is the exact makeup of this high-strength armor. It contains carbon, chromium, nickel, manganese, titanium, and other elements, according to Shawn Berryhill, vice president of research and development for Brown. Over time, they've learned to balance these metal combinations with heat treatment to gain optimum values for hardness, tensile strength, and elongation.
Brown's military contracts can call for some extreme. Here's a rough diagram of a nuclear weapon transport container the company is developing.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
For most teams, a losing score of 11-2 would not hold a bright side, but for the Lady Dinos it was an improvement against a great team who had beat them 17-0 earlier in the season. It wasn't as good of a score as the team would have liked, but it was still a lift for a squad that is struggling to win.
The Dinos got off to a good start as they posted a run in the first. The Dinos were poised to shut out Juan Diego in the first when the swirling wind grabbed an infield pop-up and neither Carbon player managed to make the play. Juan Diego scored two as the ball dropped to the ground.
Neither team managed a score in the second but Juan Diego tacked on three in the third.
The game stayed within reach, but the Dinos could not get their bats going against a good Juan Diego pitcher. Paige Pinedo was on the mound for Carbon and was able to hold Juan Diego close until the fifth. It was five in the fifth that sealed the deal for their opponents. Carbon did get one more in the sixth, but it was not nearly enough and Carbon posted another loss.
Ericka Potts went 2-3 on the night with two RBIs. Whitney liams also had a good game, going 2-3 with a pair of doubles. Coach Pinedo concluded "I know I've said it before, but we just have a few things to work out before we can win against the good teams.
We are making progress and the girls know it. Third place in the region is within our grasp, but we need to do all the small things right to get there."
The team will head to Emery for a pair on Thursday.
The Dinos beat the Spartans earlier for their only region win. A win would give Carbon the tie breaker edge if they ended up tied with Emery in the standings.
Two wins would really put them into position to make a move on third place. Delta only has a single game edge ahead of both Carbon and Emery in the standings. Game time will start at 2:30 p.m. in Castle Dale.

Welcome to Week 25 of our 52 weeks of Sharing Memories - A Genealogy Journey for 2012. This is our third year writing our memoirs and childhood memories for our descendants.
If you are just joining us, please take a peek at the last two years of prompts by clicking on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of Olive Tree Genealogy blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't like. There are no rules, it's all about getting your memories down on paper. The prompts are here as a guide to help if you are stuck for ideas.
Share your memories here in the comment section, on your own blog, or privately in a journal you keep at home. The important thing is to write.
Today is Father's Day so it seemed a good time to talk about fishing with my dad. My dad loved to fish. And for some reason he often took me with him. I loved those quiet times together, me sitting at the edge of a creek reading a book while he sat quietly nearby happily fishing.
We didn't talk much but sometimes he baited a hook for me and I dropped a pole in the water too. When I was 10 he bought me my own fishing pole. It had its own cloth case and came apart so could be assembled easily. I thought that was the greatest thing!
My job was to clean the fish when we got home. He would spread newspapers on the kitchen counter and give me his wicker fishing basket (how I wish I still had that!). I'd carefully slice and clean the fish as he'd taught me. I recall being fascinated with the ones full of eggs.
He'd cook the fish up but I never ate any as I hate the taste! To this day I can't cook fish or eat it because I can't get past the smell or the texture but I sure loved fishing with my dad and cleaning the fish afterwards. I wonder if I liked the cleaning because I knew it pleased him? It really doesn't matter, it's the memory of those quiet times together that I look back on fondly. Dad died one month after my 14th birthday so I don't have a lot of memories to hang on to. But that's one of my favourites.
Do you have favourite memories of time with your dad?

I couldn't be still or quiet so I never went fishing with my father. And eating the fish was a horror because of the little bones.

HAMMOND – Daniel L. Bickelhaupt still remembers being a rookie with the Hammond Fire Department over 50 years ago.
The department recently stirred up this memories. He was awarded the 50-year service award Saturday at the departments annual banquet at the Gran-View Restaurant, Ogdensburg.
Back when he started, there were no dispatchers, and fires were fought with water-filled milk cans.
Milk trucks would go around to each of the farmers to fill up the milk cans before they brought them to the scene, Mr. Bickelhaupt said. A lot has changed since then.
Like his son and grandsons, Mr. Bickelhaupt joined because his father, Herschel H. Bickelhaupt, was a member.
Its like the family business, he said. I grew up with it. My father served right up until he died at the age of 77.
During his time in the department, Mr. Bickelhaupt was instrumental in establishing the first responders in the 1980s, which later became the rescue squad. Mr. Bickelhaupt also served the department as chief from 1982 to 1986 and from 1996 to 1997. But he said he is most proud of passing on the family tradition.
Mr. Bickelhaupts grandson, Cody A., joined the department a month after his 18th birthday. Mr. Bickelhaupts other grandson, Adam L., plans to join when he turns 18 in a couple of months.
It makes me feel proud, he said. I was the youngest in the department when I joined up, and so was my grandson.
Mr. Bickelhaupts son, Leonard D., presented him with the award.
As far as I know, he is the second one to do it in Hammond, Were really proud of him, Leonard Bickelhaupt said.
Mr. Bickelhaupt said he dedicates his award to his father, who died three years before he was set to receive his 50-year service award.
He would have wanted to see it, he said. He was able to see me become chief. He served under me for three months before he died.
For as long as his health permits, Mr. Bickelhaupt said, he looks to continue the family tradition and set an example for his grandsons.
He is still a member of the department and serves as fire commissioner in Brier Hill.
Ive seen my share of fatalities and fires, Mr. Bickelhaupt said. But I have loved my time in the department. Its like a family. Weve all laughed and cried together.
