Can the Green Obama Push create new jobs, end the recession and green the economy? Here is a quick sketch of two possible pathways.
Pathway #1:
Reform the tax code such that we raise the carbon tax and we cut income taxes. Gib Metcalf of tufts is working on such proposals;
This would get the incentives right to green our economy in terms of power plants, building energy consumption and vehicle fleet economy. While it is difficult to precisely estimate how many "new jobs" this bundled tax policy would generate, I am optimistic that it would accelerate the economy's transition to a green, growing economy.
Pathway #2:
If President Obama pursues this "New Deal" style green big push such that he commits the government to purchase large amounts of solar panels and other green infrastructure, then it better be the case that there are sharp "learning by doing" effects for producers of green output.
Learning by doing simply means that a firm's average cost of production declines as cumulative experience increases. If this is the case, then government can help an immature new technology such as renewable energy compete against dirty incumbents (such as coal fired powered plants) by promising to purchase the first generation of expensive products. This is a credible signal to businesses of a a "Field of Dreams" effect. If firms build a green product, then government will buy it. If such firms gain valuable experience from selling to government and then lower their cost of production (through learning by doing effects), then government can eventually phase out the subsidies and the new green technology can cost-effectively compete against the dirty incumbents.
Economists continue to debate whether learning by doing effects are large enough so that we can be optimistic that government can trigger this "green push".

Can Obama's Stimulus Plan Spur Green Jobs in the U.S.?
Barack Obama's energy plan seeks to turbocharge America's eco-friendly businesses and keep jobs at home. But the hurdles are high
By John Carey
Barack Obama's plan to pull the country out of recession has a strong green hue. Conventional wisdom says Washington won't have the stomach or the dollars to tackle long-term issues like climate change or dependence on foreign oil when the economy is in the tank and oil prices have plunged. Wrong conclusion, Obama says. These problems, "left unaddressed, will continue to weaken the economy and threaten national security," he said on Nov. 18 in a video message to a climate summit meeting in California.
His fix? Obama plans to set ambitious targets for reducing emissions that cause global warming—and to invest $15 billion or more per year in energy efficiency, renewables like wind and solar, biofuels, nuclear power, and "clean" coal. Beyond the environmental benefits, says the President-elect, the investment "will also help us transform our industries and steer our economy out of this economic crisis by generating 5 million new green jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced."
Whether or not a "green" stimulus will create millions of American jobs is hotly debated by economists. On the one hand, the seeds of the transformation have already been planted thanks to market forces, such as overall higher energy prices, and government policies like tax credits for renewable energy. But there are also major questions. Many executives and experts say the most effective policy to push America toward a clean, efficient energy future is putting a price on emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, thus raising the price of energy. That's a tough sell now to Americans struggling to pay their bills. There's also a danger that the government could steer investments to the wrong technologies. Remember synfuels, President Jimmy Carter's experiment to reduce dependence on foreign oil? Most important, a green stimulus plan from Uncle Sam may end up sending billions of dollars to foreign companies instead of to Main Street, since the U.S. lags in such crucial industries as solar panels and wind turbines. Will green technologies become today's VCRs and flat-panel TVs, invented in the U.S. and commercialized elsewhere?
But the fear of enriching overseas companies simply makes a green stimulus more necessary and urgent, proponents argue. Without a plan like Obama's, which would expand U.S. markets for new technologies, American companies may fall even further behind. Michael R. Splinter, CEO of Applied Materials (AMAT) in Santa Clara, Calif., is a believer in the need for government support. Splinter has seen his business of supplying equipment for factories to make solar panels soar beyond his wildest projections. But 97% of the company's equipment goes to foreign manufacturers, who then sell panels in the U.S. It seems like the U.S. has "given up on manufacturing," Splinter laments. "Right now we are on a path to being a second-tier player in clean energy technology."
A plan like Obama's could turbocharge American industries, Splinter and other executives say. Why have European companies become world leaders in wind and solar power? Because a number of governments guarantee that anyone who supplies renewable power to the electric grid will get a premium price for that power. That cost is then passed along to customers.
Similar incentives could work magic in the U.S., says Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute. America already has a vibrant green-energy sector, so the transformation could be rapid. There are upward of 3 million Americans employed in green jobs, ranging from renewable-power startups to businesses with products that reduce waste and pollution or boost energy efficiency.
And even when goods come from foreign companies, some of the jobs will be in the U.S. One growing trend is for European and Asian manufacturers to build factories in America so they can be closer to what promises to be the world's largest market. Spanish wind company Gamesa is bringing 1,000 jobs to several factories in Pennsylvania and its North American headquarters in Philadelphia. In Memphis, Sharp opened its first plant outside of Japan for making solar panels.
Some green industries are homegrown by nature. Biofuel refineries need to be built near the crops that provide the feedstock. Even more jobs would be created by making U.S. houses and buildings more energy efficient, argues economist Robert Pollin of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. "There is about $26 billion in retrofitting on public buildings that could be done the day after legislation is signed," Pollin says. "The job impacts are very high. Each $1 million in spending would bring about 18 jobs."
What could Washington do to grow the green economy? Limit emissions of greenhouse gases, thus raising the price of using fossil fuel and steering the industry toward more environmentally friendly alternatives. Continue or boost tax credits for biofuels, wind, and solar. Make infrastructure investments, such as building transmission lines needed to bring power from large solar power plants in the desert or from North Dakota's windswept prairies. And increase federal dollars for energy research and development, aiding programs that have withered during years of declining funding. All of this, proponents say, would foster enough innovation to help American companies leapfrog their overseas rivals. "America's future depends on our ability to spark an energy revolution," argues Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Susan Hockfield.
Skeptics wonder, however, if such a sweeping transformation is possible. "The optimist in me wants to believe it," says Matthew E. Kahn, an economist at the University of California, Los Angeles. "The cynic in me asks, is this like FDR jobs creation in the guise of green jobs?" Kahn believes that rather than spending federal dollars, the best approach is simply increasing the price of carbon—which is politically difficult.
Passing Obama's green stimulus package will be an uphill battle, and its success if implemented is far from certain. But the nation's financial mess is so bad that the President-elect has a freer hand. He also needs to show action on climate change to help restore America's reputation around the world—and to bring China and India on board. The surge earlier this year in oil prices (expected to rise again after the recession ends) even has brought traditional opponents of renewable energy and climate action to the bipartisan table, as long as they get expanded drilling rights. Says Thomas J. Donohue, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: "Energy policy can create jobs, give an economic lift, and get us out of this ditch."

Beyond Accommodation: Reconstructing the Insanity Defense to Provide an Adequate Remedy for Postpartum Psychotic Women
Manchester, Jessie, Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology
Victorian psychologist Dr. Henry Maudsley wrote in 1892 when questioning why mothers kill their children: "[a] mother, worn down by anxiety and ill-health," can become "very low-spirited and desponding" and "imagin[ing] perhaps that her soul is lost, or that her family are coming to poverty," might "one day, in a paroxysm of despair, kill[] her children in order to save them from misery on earth, or because she is so miserable that she knows not what she does." (1)
On the morning of June 20, 2001 Andrea Pia Yates was feeding her children cereal for breakfast when her husband Rusty left for work in Clearwater, Texas. (2) However, the morning was hardly typical, as Yates drowned her five children in the family bathtub and then calmly called the police and her husband to tell them that something was wrong with the children (3) As she drank a Diet Coke, Yates told police officers who arrived at her house that her children were not "developing correctly" and that she had "not been a good mother to them." (4) Perhaps, as Dr. Maudsley phrased it, Yates had become "so miserable that she knows not what she does," (5) as is suggested from Yates' substantial mental illness history. (6) Since 1999, Yates had been hospitalized four times, attempted suicide twice, and her doctor for a time had prescribed Haldol, a medication designed to control hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms. (7)
The media onslaught surrounding the Yates case is typical of American press coverage involving mothers who kill their children. (8) Unlike almost any other criminal defendants, mothers who murder their children evoke sympathy, confusion, and abhorrence. (9) Society is tom between wanting to protect the helpless child and recognizing that perhaps the very act of child murder suggests that the mother was severely ill or demented and therefore deserving of sympathetic sentencing, (10) In modern American society, childcare and other household tasks, still remain ultimately the woman's responsibility, (11) Thus, when mothers kill children, the women's typical role as child nurturers and primary child care givers is contradicted and challenged. (12) Societal ambivalence towards mothers who kill is reflected in the disparate sentencing of maternal infanticide offenders, ranging from the death penalty to more lenient sentences of one to two years in prison. (13)
A number of other countries have passed infanticide statutes that mandate consideration of a woman's mental state in infant murder cases that occur within a year after a woman gave birth. (14) But American courts have not adopted similar statutes, (15) In all states, mothers who kill their children are prosecuted under homicide statutes. (16) Many researchers have pointed out the inconsistency in the American courts in responding to infanticides, and some have suggested statutory reform similar to those statutes adopted in other countries. (17) In the United States, courts continue to evaluate postpartum depression defenses and other mental illnesses under the existing insanity defense, (18) The prevailing insanity defense test (19) applied across United States jurisdictions is extremely narrow and makes proving legal insanity exceptionally difficult for even the most severely postpartum psychotic women. (20) Therefore, the Yates case is most significant because it demonstrates the pressing need for insanity defense reform to address the realities of postpartum psychosis and other mental illnesses. (21)
Most state jurisdictions currently use a version of the narrow M'Naghten insanity test (22) developed under English common law in 1843 to assess whether defendants have met the burden of establishing a complete insanity defense to murder. (23) Despite extensive criticism of the M'Naghten test and state attempts at reform, most states reverted back to a narrow insanity defense in the aftermath of John Hinckley, Jr.'s acquittal for reason of insanity after he attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan. …

SEO for the iPadOn-page SEO
When the iPad first came out, like many people, I didn't really get it. My initial thoughts were something along the lines of "Steve... what the hell?! You've produced a giant iPod and are somehow trying to claim its some sort of brilliant new product." I resolved never to buy one, considering it simply a folly for overly wealthy businessmen or an iPod designed for the visually impaired.

It wasn't just what he said and did, although holding Kirk to the exact second wasn't going to gain him any points with the audience. It was his facial expressions. From his face, it was clear he was relishing every opportunity to tell Kirk his crew and friends had to die (he said he didn't, but it was so obvious he did). He was smiling as he watched Kirk desperately trying to find the shuttlecraft.
Pushing around a starship captain was all that was really important to him--that's what I saw. And he absolutely didn't give a crap about Spock and the rest. Look at this guy!

Are you looking to improve your health and implement a natural approach?
- Are you frustrated by the current options for health that seem to focus on drugs and surgery?
- Do you wish for a doctor who could help you find the underlying causes to your symptoms?
- Do you find yourself thinking…"If there's nothing wrong, why do I feel so bad?"
At raSahealth, "our passion is health because your passion is living!"
Imagine this..
- Do you wish for a Doctor that spends time listening
- Do you want a Doctor who embraces a Functional Medicine approach
- Do you wish for a Doctor who respects your time and schedule and doesn't keep you waiting
- Do you want a Doctor who brings 25+ years of experience to every patient she treats
- Do you wish for a health care experience that embraces the body, mind & spirit
Health means more than taking a multi-vitamin and eating 3-squares a day.
There was a time when this was a sufficient plan. Not anymore. Due to the insults to our water, food supply, soil and daily toxic exposures nearly everyone can benefit from daily detox and mineral support. Holistic health focuses on the system and not the symptoms. I became a Chiropractor because having an "adjustment" always made me feel better. My chiropractor was knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition and wellness. Tools like Applied Kinesiology and Autonomic Response Testing help our patients uncover hidden dis-ease patterns and identify the proper nutrition, optimize detoxification pathways, identify food allergies and integrate wellness and lifestyle strategies that are tailored for their metabolic type
Imagine your own health coach.
Imagine a doctor who really listens.
Imagine working with a practitioner who combines the best of: Chiropractic, Biological, Bio-energetic and Functional Medicine
Beginning with a new doctor is a big step. Listen in as Dr. Sharon shares her approach at raSa health
Imagine a mentor for healthy living who understands not only your unique biochemical individuality but also the ancestral, cultural and personal history that makes you uniquely you.
I'm Dr. Sharon Rasa, Chiropractor, expert integrative & holistic health practitioner and founder of raSahealth. My clients often come to me because they are feeling tired, confused and overwhelmed about why they feel so bad when their doctor says, "there's nothing wrong!" Using my 25 years of hands on patient care combined with training in functional medicine, clinical nutrition, and a deep understanding of ancient sciences of traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and quantum physics, I help busy people restore the energy they need, find the balance in their life, and reach their goals for optimal health and healing.

Success Stores - L. Roberts (female, 37)
I came to Dr. Rasa through a friend I met in Pilate's class. I felt as though my thyroid was swollen and I just couldn't loose weight even though I was running, doing pilates and following a whole foods diet. My Doctors said, "your lab tests are normal." Then Dr. Rasa ran a comprehensive profile and we discovered I had an autoimmune disease called "Hashimoto's." It took a while to help me balance my thyroid through detoxification other lifestyle changes and I learned I needed to talk about the things I was holding inside. She also helped me find my "gratitude" I had misplaced a long time ago.
- O. Connally (female, 36)
When the doctor's kept telling me my blood work is "normal"…my blood pressure is" fine," I knew I needed another way. Their suggestion for anti-depressants was not an option. Using Autonomic Response Testing, Dr. Rasa found I had a root canal which harbored an infection and was responsible for the many UTI's and bladder infections I had throughout the last few years. She referred me to Dr. Oras and together they helped me get better. I haven't had a urinary tract infection in 4 years!
- B. Brooks (female, 52)
I was being treated by a physician for lyme disease and several coinfections but I still felt pretty miserable. I decided to compliment what I was doing by using alternative therapies. I learned about the work of Dietrich Klinghardt, and found that Dr. Rasa studies with Dr. K and offers many of his protocols. I have been working with Dr. Rasa for the past year and I feel like I can think again, the brain fog has lifted, I am able to work and I have hope I will get well again. Thank you Dr. Klinghardt & Dr. Rasa!
- G. Pierson (female, 46)
I think I would be dead if I didn't find Dr. Rasa one year ago. I was 100 lbs overweight, and suffering with chronic fatigue, a mouth full of mercury and a body full of toxins from years spent at racetracks breathing in the exhaust fumes. I told her she was my last hope, the last doctor I would try to get help from. I was tired of being alive and I didn't know where to turn. She changed my diet, all of my personal care products and she helped me detoxify slowly. When she told me about family constellation…I thought that was the last thing I would ever do. I'm so glad I did. Now I am living again, I want to fall in love and have a family.
- K. Robillo (male, 36)
I've been seeing Dr. Rasa for 8 years. As a teacher, I stand on my feet for hours each day and have a long history of back pain. I fell off my horse several times throughout my life and didn't want to stop riding but I also didn't want to be in pain all the time. I go for chiropractic and cranio-sacral treatments twice a month with Dr. Rasa and I'm able to keep riding and stay away from pain pills. Dr. Rasa is always there for me. She has seen me on her days off and even came to my home to treat me. I bring my whole family to her and I trust her most of all.
-P. Conte (male, 41)
My game is golf and running. My style is fast & competitive. I hate going to any doctor and then I met Dr. Sharon after I tripped and strained my hamstring and glutes so bad I couldn't sit for longer than 5 minutes. I had a tournament in 4 days and I was really upset. 1st visit for the Sports & Spine Spa package and I was 80% better. 2nd visit. 100% gone. I not only participated in the tournament I placed better than my previous game. If you are looking for something that works…you have to do this!
D. Rubin (male 39)
I had two root canals extracted and was disturbed to see the amount of infection that has been residing in my mouth for at least 8 years (coincidentally, the same amount of time I have been experiencing lyme symptoms). I wanted to express my gratitude to you because if you hadn't ART tested both as blocked, who knows how long they would have stayed in my mouth. Today I am grateful, lighter, and so much better mentally than I have been in nearly 2 years.
A small gift from me to you! 3 strategies for anxiety, pain and increased energy.

Then I moved the mouse over an image and discovered they were actually links that would take me somewhere else in the Wiki. After hovering over each image to read the labels, I couldn't remember what each image was linked to, so I had to hover over the images again to figure out where they would take me. The images in-an-of-themselves don't communicate a specific feature or page in the Wiki. Overall, the whole page design is busy. Lots to look at. Too many choices. --Fran 18:49, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Great comments. Those 5 images do not really need to go anywhere if we do not want to. Just thought I would try that out for fun and get a reaction. I imagine we will get all sorts of responses . . . this makes both ends of the spectrum represented (very clean & easy to follow -to- busy & too many choices). All responses are appreciated. Thomas_Lerman 02:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
From Jimmy on 08Mar:
Hey, pretty cool! I sure like it better than the "bland" one we have there now. I like the visuals for the featured articles. And I like the boxes with topics at the right for hidden treasures, etc. It's inviting to read more.
And Kara from yesterday:
oh I forgot to give you feedback from the professional (writing for the church for 8 years and big into advertising etc) - he said to:
- label the pictures with the name of the link they are going to - like New Wiki Users so you have it in writing and can refer to it
- make the buttons (the four boxes that are links: How to Genealogy, How to Wiki, Community Center, & Community News) - or where you want people to go the darker color. He would reverse the color schemes
- make the labels of the featured articles and hidden treasure in smaller font and lighter color
- He liked the community center page better :) . . . had almost no changes for it
- he said you want the darker color to be on where you want people to go - their eyes will go to the darker colors first
Thomas_Lerman 17:21, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
- Concerning Kara's comments on
- I can make them images go nowhere or put text below. I mostly did the links for the fun of it.
- The problem with changing the colors on the "buttons" is that the link color may not be so obvious. I am hoping to be able to do something slightly different soon.
- Could do.

Replace top five photos with photos that serve a function
The top five photos in the mockup take up a lot of real estate, make the home page too busy, and don't serve any function. Some are old and some are modern, which also leaves me puzzled. I think we should learn from the current home page of WikiHow. We should get images that depict the top three things people should do on our site and feature these three things like WikiHow features their big Learn, Write, and Wiki buttons. RitcheyMT 03:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
They do serve a function. While they are missing the captions, each of the five phots is a link (thanks to Thomas Lerman's expert wikitext coding). There are two reasons people visit the wik (in my mind): to find out things (read) and to contribute (write). Reading takes in both Beginning Research (I wonder if anyone who is beginning their research will ever visit the wiki before they start?) and searching for pages dealing with their research areas. The "Wiki" button isn't about wiki's but how to contribute, including editing. All lot of this is semantics, but for newbies, we have to speak their language. Tom Huber 04:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, okay, I now see (as I mouse over the photos) that each one leads to a certain wiki page. But as Tom Huber mentions, these images don't have captions saying where they lead. If I had to have the function of these photo/links explained to me, what does that say about their intuitiveness?
- When one creates a link in a Website, is a photo and some mouseover text enough to create an intuitive user navigation experience? Or should the image/link include a visible text caption so users can tell where it points?
- Vincent Flanders, an author of Website design books, coined a term to describe any link in a Website that requires the user to mouse over the link before he can decipher where it will lead. Flanders calls this "mystery meat navigation." The term refers us back to our childhood days in the school cafeteria when they'd serve us some kind of processed meat but nobody could tell what kind it was by looking at it. Flanders recommends that every image-based link should have visible text (not just mouseover text) that says where the link will lead. I seem to recall that many other Web designers agree with Flanders.
- I believe that in this case, adding text to these photographic links may be necessary for another reason. I, for one, just am not smart enough to tell by looking at these pictures where they are going to lead. The photos just don't speak to me as if they were intuitive icons in a piece of software. When I'm in MS Word and I see an icon that looks like a printer, I know that button means "print." But looking at the FSWiki mockup, when I see the picture of the grinning lady with the basket on her head, I can't predict that it'll link to a page for new wiki users. So it seems to me at this moment that the need to add captions to these link/images may be twofold: First, some users like me aren't smart enough to guess where the current photos might lead. Second, Web design gurus say that image links should have captions so that folks like me who aren't smart enough to guess where the images will lead won't have to mouse over each one to find out.

Info on side bar mock-up
The following were moved to the bottom of the main page
- Guiding principles
- Policies
Should every word be initial cap, the first word, or what?
Other items may appear depending on whether signed in and rights.
Box 1
This is first navigation box that they see.
- Wiki Tour is a new page?
- Community & Forums would go to an article discussing
- Community Center
- Community Meetings
- Forums
Box 2
Article editing, etc.
- I would LOVE to see a "page" be called an "article". I believe page sounds like a web page and article sounds more user friendly, like a newspaper article. This may something to be done with the main namespace? We do want to be consistent though to avoid confusion. Some indicate that some pages are not articles...like portal pages, tools, charts. I would like to see examples of those besides portals as they are going away. At this point, I personally say that a newspaper may have an "article" of a chart, picture, tools, etc. so why can we not? Not that we have to function just like Wikipedia, but they also call them articles.
- Discussion or Talk? This seems to be an inconsistency! Also, same for "My Talk".
Box 3
Searching & browsing
- How about changing button to "Keyword search"???
- Browsing is a form of searching. Put Country & Category on same line. Used "Category" instead of "Topic" to be consistent.
Box 4
Box 5
Personal Tools
- Instead of having name, how about "My User Page".
- Add easy access to "My Sandbox"???
- Sign out only in one spot . . . the header.
Comments on side bar
Please add your comments. Thomas_Lerman 20:03, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
I like what you've done. I've tossed in my comments in various spots below. In regards to the top box: I would rename Help to "Getting Started", since it navigates to the Help Options page. I would not have been as lost if Help had been called Getting Started, when I wanted to create my first page or was looking for all the help categories. Tom Huber 04:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Personal Tools
Box 5 Personal Tools - Instead of having name, how about "My User Page" ... If every user's page was labeled "My User Page" then I wouldn't know whose page I was viewing. I'm sure that I would recognize my own user page, but determining who was who on other user pages might be difficult. --Fran 18:23, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- I am not sure that I understand . . . the items in that box are YOUR personal tools. It ALWAYS goes to YOUR User Page (this text never changes for any given logged on user) and never goes to someone else's user page. You can always tell whose page you are by the title of the page. In other words, the suggestion was made to only change the user name in Personal Tools to "My User Page", not anywhere else. Am I confused (I know I need more sleep)? Thomas_Lerman 02:43, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm not even sure we have the option to change this feature from using the User Name to "My User Page" I think that is part of Mediawiki or the skin. Tom Huber 04:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Moving the nav bar from the right to the left will ruin the layout of a lot of pages that have been adjusted since the last move. We do not have time before NGS to correct this. RitcheyMT 04:01, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree that it shouldn't be moved immediately, but to follow Wikipedia's lead, it works better on the left. (The new skin may negate that entirely') Tom Huber 04:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Since Search is the proper search by default, its button should be on the left. RitcheyMT 04:04, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Not all pages are articles
While the word article is friendlier than page, many, many wiki pages are not articles. RitcheyMT 04:17, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Agreed. Using page in place of article, particular on help pages, is more descriptive of what the user is working on (not to mention section editing or writing). Tom Huber 04:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Preserve the link to the 3rd most popular wiki page
The Browse by Country page, at 4,800 visits per month, is the third most popular page on the wiki, and it has a tiny bounce rate (11%) and a miniscule exit rate (4%?). Removing its link from the nav bar probably isn't a good idea. RitcheyMT 04:17, 18 March 2010 (UTC) I can't argue or disagree with the data. Fran 18:41, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Preserve the Forums link
It would frustrate me if the Forums link were replaced by a Community & Forums link that pointed to an article. When I need to go to forums, it's usually to report a bug. Take me straight there, not to an article where I have to hunt again for a link to the forums. RitcheyMT 04:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't use the wiki forums link, but have added a favorite to my browser. If I'm on a computer I haven't used before, I'll access the forums from http://labs.familysearch.org/. Tom Huber 04:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree with Michael. The Forums link needs to remain a link that takes the user directly to the Forums. Fran 18:22, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Browsing isn't searching
Browsing isn't searching, which is why I missed the Browse By Country link earlier. Please don't hide it under the Search box. RitcheyMT 04:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC) Agree Fran 18:23, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Leave username; not "My User Page"
Project leaders help users all the time. When doing this, it is useful for the nav bar link that points to the userpage to be a username like RitcheyMT rather than the words My User Page because helpers and the folks they help keep switching who is logged in during the help session. It'd be a pain to have to scroll up to the top of the page to see who is logged in and then to scroll back down to the bottom to click the link to the userpage.
Also, that link becomes an IP address for users who aren't logged in. So if I think I'm logged in and I want to go to my userpage, I glance at the link to click it. If it says my username, I click that knowing I'm logged in and I'll go to the right place. If I'm not logged in I'll see an IP address, which tells me to log in, which is helpful. If instead the link said "My User Page," I'd just click the link (thinking I'm still logged in) and end up on an IP userpage, which would just confuse me.
A third reason to preserve the link as a username instead of changing it to "My User Page" is the use case of library useage. If I'm contributing to the wiki from a public computer and I walk away, and someone else sits down, I want them to see that the link in question is going to take them to RitcheyMT's page rather than their user page.
I'm guessing there are other reasons why MediaWiki is designed that way, but these are the three use cases I could imagine. ;) RitcheyMT 04:36, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I think the use of My User Page is just a placeholder. The skins will either display the user's name with a user icon or if th person isn't signed in, they will only see "Sign in" under this heading — at least, that's my experience on these Mediawiki sites. Tom Huber 04:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Personal Tools Addition: How about adding a link to Your Current Support Cases up at the top of the page or under Personal Tools. Each time, it takes me about ten minutes of hunting around to try to find where it is. Having to remember that I have to 1) click Help, 2) click Contact Family Search and then 3) View your existing cases to get there is NOT intuitive. It would be much better to have it under Personal Tools - two entries. One for "Submit a problem" and one for Your Current Support Cases. There is no reason to have to do so many clicks to find it. I actually had to call the library in SLC the first time to ask how I could submit a problem with the website. And I never can remember how to get here after that.
Alternative layout for the Main Page
Links tothis proposed layout
I would like to suggest that the Main Page be reformatted to include a Welcome header with some links to key categories, followed by two main columns divided between using the wiki on the left and contributing to the wiki on the right. I feel it is important to emphasise these two main reasons why a person may visit the wiki.
There is still space in the right hand column where more information could be added, plus more wikilinks could be added to the text already included or the text can be changed. Please feel free to look at or edit the code that produces this layout, using the links provided at the bottom of the proposal. Your comments would also be appreciated. --Steve 18:12, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- I like some of this. My personal preference is that I do not like the color palettes in the templates. These templates also make it more difficult for the less technical people to edit. I realize this is all temporary anyway. To me, it is not much more inviting than the current one. Anyway, my opinions. Thomas_Lerman 20:56, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Honestly, I prefer the clean boxes compared to all the images. Some images on the main page are good, but too many images makes it busy and confusing. I'm not concerned about the colors because they can easily be changed. I'm also not worried about the content because that can be changed as well. I'm also not concerned that editing the boxes on the home page might be difficult for the majority of our current editors/authors. The home page typically ends up being protected so that only the few who need to make edits can do so. Fran 18:39, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, we have got both opposite responses about the images. Many have felt they are cleaner & more inviting, some thought they are busy & confusing. I realize that the main page does not get edited much nor by very many people. However, I believe in a greater amount of consistency throughout the entire Wiki. Both mock-ups do have some problem with this, but it seems one has more issues than the other. Thomas_Lerman 20:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
April 2010 - Main Page proposed layout below the search box
|Featured Articles
Links tothis proposed layout
Based on the information shared at the April 6 Wiki Techinical meeting, the The Research Wiki is . . . thread and discussion with Kara I have put together another proposed layout for the main page. --Steve 14:43, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
- I like some of the things on the Main Page. I see some of the changes I suggested have been corrected. To me, the "Browse by Country" text is redundant and not needed when it is followed by the "List All Countries" link. Actually, this link is really redundant & inconsistent with the "Browse by country" link in the Navigation box. I would rather see this consistent. Could we also list the "Browse by topic" as well? The "Featured Articles" layout seem to be our attempt to copy what other Wikis are doing. Are all of the good ideas already taken? Do we not have any other creativity? To me, just listing the article title is not as inviting to read the article. It would seem that a teaser may be more inviting. To me, the page is in general not terribly inviting. Yes, I realize that it may be all temporary though. Thomas_Lerman 17:50, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Earlier this year I was looking for a beginner embroidery only machine (gateway drug as one member called it). I was so grateful for the resources here that I thought others who might be interested in dipping their toes into machine embroidery might have similar questions. There are few resources as knowledgeable as pattern review members IMHO! (in my humble opinion).
So here's my story. I was looking between the Brother PE500 or SE400. I really didn't need another sewing machine. So for embroidery only I decided to consider the Brother PE770. I was really going back and forth and visited a local brother dealer and saw a few boxes with the Simplicity Brother 7050e embroidery only machine with USB capability and some lettering software (PE Lettering Basic with lots of fonts and Monograms). Long story short I bought one from a different dealer and have LOVED it. Machine embroidery has opened up a whole new world. As for the 4x4 I can see how it can be out grown pretty quick, but it saves on stabilizer and thread and most of the designs out there I'm interested in I can use. If I want to fit a lot in I resize with some editing software (I use Amazing Designs and I really like it, but I digress) or use a multi positional hoop. I paid $499, but just saw it for sale at $399. It comes with a lot of helpful info for a beginner and to me the extra money and dealer access were worth it.
Here is the link to my little machine (because I don't have a pic.) Brother/Simplicity SB 7050E
What is your story ?
edited to add price info :-)
-- Edited on 9/28/13 11:42 AM -- -- Edited on 9/30/13 11:56 AM --
I was looking at the PE770 as well, I had a babylock espire and an interest, well the new dreamweaver came out and I loved the sewing features, so decided to invest in the combo machine and it is just amazing, I am glad I didn't start small, lots of onboard editing features, screen visibility is great for seeing designs
------Brother XL-3500i
Dreamweaver VM6200D
I started with a JC Penny Penncrest because it was affordable. Then I got a Janome 8000 and that was like heaven. Now I have a Babylock Unity and it really is heaven.
I think the Brother PE500 is great as a first machine... it's actually my second embroidery machine. I had an older Pfaff years ago, one of their first to do embroidery, but the electronics in it fried a few years ago and it would have cost more than it was worth to repair it, and I didn't have much need for embroidery at the time so I replaced it with a regular sewing machine. That's all I had until a few months ago.
I paid just over $200 for my PE500, and while there are some moments I wish I had a larger embroidery field, I bought it primarily for quilt labels, and to embellish small things for my kids, and for that it's been perfect. At some point I may upgrade to a machine with a larger embroidery field (I'll probably go much bigger if I do), but I bet I'll still keep the PE500 because it's so small and convenient.
I LOVE hearing all the different journeys taken. These are really neat.
keep sharing!
I learned to sew on my moms Singer Featherweight. It was really basic- no zig-zag, just forward- nothing to distract you from basic sewing. But every stitch was perfect and there were many accessories to accomplish the fancy stuff if you wanted. My mom had a ruffler and a buttonholer and a zipper foot besides the foot that came with the machine in 1946.
Sadly, she upgraded to a singer that would sew zig- zag and the salesman talked her into trading the Featherweight in. They gave her $40 for it and probably sold it for $400. Grrrrr!
My Mom had a Kenmore which I used quite a bit my last couple of years of high school. When I got married I got myself a Fashion Mate 257 and I loved it. It was so easy to do whatever type of sewing I was doing at that time (jean snap shirts, maternity clothes when I got pregnant) I loved the buttonhole attachment. When I moved to Japan and did not take my machine with me, my husband (second husband, second sewing machine) got me a Singer 1425 which did not work anywhere near as well as the Fashion Mate. Then it completely messed up and I could not afford another at the time (second divorce) finally I got what I had been wanting for a long time, a Bernina 153 QE. I still have this and it is my "main" machine. But after joining PR I was bitten with the vintage bug and now have a 15-91 (two of them), Rocketeer (two of them), a Featherweight, and two sergers and a coverhem Pro. I do not see myself getting any other machine as these all do whatever I need doing. I am not interest in an embroidery machine. BTW, I rescued my Mom's old Kenmore and have parts to fix it up, but do not know if I will ever get around to it, right now it is unusable.
-- Edited on 9/29/13 7:03 AM -- -- Edited on 9/29/13 7:09 AM --
Definitely an old Singer, 99 I think. It was in my childhood and I will never forget the gentle clink of the handcrank and smooth running through it's stitches. Just pure love of sewing came from that machine.
I started out 40 years ago with a Singer that had been my great-grandmother's. I can't recall the model number, but I still miss that machine. Never loan out your sewing machines, folks.
Many machines after that, I didn't get into embroidery until I bought a used Pfaff a few years back, and then didn't use it much, the thing was a beast to work with. Then I lost a board in it, and bought a BL Ellure Plus and decided I did like embroidery, got into digitizing, and the DreamWeaver followed. I have a feeling my next machine will be a multi-needle.
I think the question is based on embroidery machines, right? At least that seems to be what the thread is--it's in the Machine Embroidery section.
To answer what is my favorite beginner (embroidery) machine, it's the same one I've had since I started embroidery eight years ago. Oh yes, I've thought of upgrading--a 5x7 area is nice, but it's like you said: More thread, more stabilizer, etc. So until Brother no longer supports my PE150 (yes, that's a one five zero), I'm sticking with it because it suits my needs.

Hello, I am new to babycenter.com
I am 36, my partner is 40. We recently decided to get pregnant so we both went for a fertility test. His results were disappointing - low count, motility, quality.
Because of our ages, and our hope to have 3 children, we're considering having IUI as soon as possible.
Does anyone have any experiences they could share please? Should we just try on our own for a while, should he get a second opinion? My biggest fear is that we do get pregnant naturally but that I miscarry or the baby isn't healthy because of the low quality of the sperm...are these thoughts even rational?
Thank you

Hunger pangs may be a sign to raid the refrigerator, order carryout, heat up some leftovers, or head to your favorite restaurant.
But thousands of Virginia children don't have that option. In fact—and it's a little-known fact—area food banks throughout the Commonwealth are in greater need of supplies over the summer than over the holidays, when most food drives take place.
Since 2006, there's been a 56-percent increase in the need for serving the hungry. And as Governor McDonnell explains, it's harder to restock food banks during this time of year than any other.
A 1960s era poverty measurement is being replaced by one that more accurately reflects Virginians' living standards and spending patterns.
If you were alive in the 1960s, you know a lot of things have changed since then. But criteria used to determine poverty hasn't. Dustin Cable is a demographer with the University of Virginia.
"Food costs have declined as a percentage of family budgets and medical expenses have dramatically increased."
Roanoke College is out with a new poll detailing how Virginians view their financial situation and general business conditions now and in the future.
It's the second time this year the Institute for Policy and Opinion Research at Roanoke College conducted its consumer sentiment survey, and Senior Analyst Alice Kassens says there were some surprises.
People who oppose the proposed "coal fields expressway" are staging a protest in Abingdon Virginia, where coal company, Alpha Natural Resources is holding its annual meeting Wednesday, May 22.The protestors say they'll call attention to the company's role in what's known as the Coalfields Expressway. A proposed 50 mile road, supporters say will improve transportation in far southwest Virginia and help the local economy.
Sequestration cuts are starting to affect some Meals on Wheels programs throughout the Commonwealth.
The Local Area on Aging in Roanoke is losing $96,000 from its Meals on Wheels program this federal fiscal year.
That's a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses the program is taking around the Commonwealth.

Real Science Radio Week: Old Shrimp
Download: Dialup / Broadband Stream: Dialup / Broadband Comment: at TheologyOnline
* Very Old Shrimp Look Ready To Eat: Real Science Radio co-hosts Fred Williams and Bob Enyart discuss articles from a recent issue of Creation Matters, regarding:
- a supposedly 360-million year old fossil shrimp that looks exactly like modern shrimp. (Darwinist paleontologists systematically rename all species that are found as fossils, typically using completely different names and even indicating that they are morphologically very different, even when they appear to be exactly the same, thus giving the impression of evolution over time when in reality, the fossil record exhibits stasis. See this documented in Dr. Carl Werner's tremendous DVD, Living Fossils!)
- a Canadian lab turning human skin cells into blood cells (and Fred's work at an adult stem cell technology firm)- why the Venus Fly trap and (and caterpillars) could not evolve
- the biomimetic work on water striders, bombardier beetles, and ostriches (which run unexpectedly quickly and efficiently)

- Carlos Morales, Fox News, Huffington Post, etc. reports on U of Texas atheists Bible-turn in program, president of Atheist Agenda 7-14-10
- Freedom from Religion Foundation founder Dan Barker (put the atheist sign near the Nativity at the capitol in Seattle) who was involved with the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman, one of a group of so-called faith healers. (See a BEL listener who initially compared Bob to Benny Hinn until...) The BEL show was on 12-11-08;
- Leading anti-creationist Eugenie Scott of the Nat'l Center for Science Education, exhumed 5-6-05;
- I Sold My Soul on eBay author Hemant Mehta talks with Bob about gullibility 12-14-10
- Michael Shermer, an editor with Scientific American and the Skeptic Society who in this famous 73-second excerpt on BEL denied that the sun is a light, illustrating that it's tough debating atheists when they're hesitant to admit to even the most obvious common ground. 8-28-03
