That's not how it works.
Evolution is about adaptation over time to develop new features. It was all one species, but as population grew, they migrated to different climates, elevations, ext., and adapted properly to become more suitable for the environment.
And by the way, we're apes.
Not monkeys.
No offense but you sounded really stupid mixing those up ._.
Wrong evolution means at one point... Species A + Species A = Species B... Hence Humans coming from Monkeys... Otherwise why else would you associate that with Evolution...? We're constantly told that Evolution means Humans come from Monkeys, yet every time we ask how, we're told Evolution doesn't work that way...
If what you said is true... Why are wolves still here? Shouldn't the Earth be too hectic for them? Hence the existence of the other Canine breeds?
Hence... Dogs... Cats... And Horses...
So I will ask again... Name two entirely different species of Primates that are capable of mating with each other...
Felines... Lions and Tigers... Lepoards and Jaguars or Panthers... Therefore Cats come from the same place...
Canines... As long as the Size matches up... A dog can probably mate with a fox... Seeing as how all dogs apparently come from Wolves and we all know about the Wolf Huskies... Hence Dogs come from the same place...
Equines... A Donkey and a Horse... A Zebra and A Horse... Thus 2 + 2 = 4 and a Donkey and a Zebra... Hence Equines come from the same place...
Now either you can block me... Out of my sheer ignorance out of your bullshit theories that you just LOVE changing with every new contradiction you assholes come across... Or you can name me 2 different Species of Primates that are Capable of Mating with each other...
Thus proving why 2 Species A's can make a Species B but Species B canNOT mate backwards with Species A... IF it was in fact Species A that made Species B in the first place...
Otherwise... Scientists are complete morons for Relating Humans to any Monkey or Ape JUST because out of Sheer Coincidence... All 3 things HAPPEN to have hands that look the same... What you call evolution... I call Coincidence...
And fuck a 2% chromosome difference... Humans are able to survive with pig parts implanted in them... Doesn't mean we're related to pigs... When has a human EVER been able to survive with a Monkey or Ape transplant?
How can we come from them if none of our parts match when needed? Huh? Or are you going to give me that bullshit answer that explains how A Rhino is related to a Horse?...
The basic theory of evolution is surprisingly simple. It has three essential parts:
- It is possible for the DNA of an organism to occasionally change, or mutate. A mutation changes the DNA of an organism in a way that affects its offspring, either immediately or several generations down the line.
- The change brought about by a mutation is either beneficial, harmful or neutral. If the change is harmful, then it is unlikely that the offspring will survive to reproduce, so the mutation dies out and goes nowhere. If the change is beneficial, then it is likely that the offspring will do better than other offspring and so will reproduce more. Through reproduction, the beneficial mutation spreads. The process of culling bad mutations and spreading good mutations is called natural selection.
- As mutations occur and spread over long periods of time, they cause new species to form. Over the course of many millions of years, the processes of mutation and natural selection have created every species of life that we see in the world today, from the simplest bacteria to humans and everything in between.
Billions of years ago, according to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating molecule. This spark of life was the seed of every living thing we see today (as well as those we no longer see, like dinosaurs). That simplest life form, through the processes of mutation and natural selection, has been shaped into every living species on the planet.
Can such a simple theory explain all of life as we know it today? Let's start by understanding how life works and then look at some examples.
Evolution can be seen in its purest form in the daily evolution ofbacteria. If you have read How Cells Work, then you are familiar with the inner workings of the E. coli bacteria and can skip this section. Here's a quick summary to highlight the most important points in How Cells Work:
- A bacterium is a small, single-celled organism. In the case of E. coli, the bacteria are about one-hundredth the size of a typical human cell. You can think of the bacteria as a cell wall (think of the cell wall as a tiny plastic bag) filled with various proteins, enzymes and other molecules, plus a long strand of DNA, allfloating in water.
- The DNA strand in E. coli contains about 4 million base pairs, and these base pairs are organized into about 1,000 genes. A gene is simply a template for a protein, and often these proteins are enzymes.
- An enzyme is a protein thatspeeds up a particular chemical reaction. For example, one of the 1,000 enzymes in an E. coli's DNA might know how to break a maltose molecule (a simple sugar) into its two glucose molecules. That is all that that particular enzyme can do, but that action is important when an E. coli is eating maltose. Once the maltose is broken into glucose, other enzymes act on the glucose molecules to turn them into energy for the cell to use.
- To make an enzyme that it needs, the chemical mechanisms inside an E. coli cell make a copy of a gene from the DNA strand and use this template to form the enzyme. The E. coli might have thousands of copies of some enzymes floating around inside it, and only a few copies of others. The collection of 1,000 or so different types of enzymes floating in the cell makes all of the cell's chemistry possible. This chemistry makes the cell "alive" -- it allows the E. coli to sense food, move around, eat and reproduce. See How Cells Work for more details.
You can see that, in any living cell, DNA helps create enzymes, and enzymes create the chemical reactions that are "life."
The process of evolution acts on an E. coli cell by creating a mutation in the DNA. It is not uncommon for the DNA strand in an E. coli bacterium to get corrupted. An X-ray, a cosmic ray or a stray chemical reaction can change or damage the DNA strand. In most cases, a particular E. coli cell with mutated DNA will either die, fix the damage in the strand or fail to reproduce. In other words, most mutations go nowhere. But every so often, a mutation will actually survive and the cell will reproduce.
Imagine, for example, a bunch of identical E. coli cells that are living in a petri dish. With plenty of food and the right temperature, they can double every 20 minutes. That is, each E. coli cell can duplicate its DNA strand and split into two new cells in 20 minutes.
Now, imagine that someone pours an antibiotic into the petri dish. Many antibiotics kill bacteria by gumming up one of the enzymes that the bacteria needs to live. For example, one common antibiotic gums up the enzyme process that builds the cell wall. Without the ability to add to the cell wall, the bacteria cannot reproduce, and eventually they die.
When the antibiotic enters the dish, all of the bacteria should die. But imagine that, among the many millions of bacteria living in the dish, one of them acquires a mutation that makes its cell-wall-building enzyme different from the norm. Because of the difference, the antibiotic molecule does not attach properly to the enzyme, and therefore does not affect it. That one E. coli cell will survive, and since all of its neighbors are dead, it can reproduce and take over the petri dish. There is now a strain of E. coli that is immune to that particular antibiotic.
In this example, you can see evolution at work. A random DNA mutation created an E. coli cell that is unique. The cell is unaffected by the antibiotic that kills all of its neighbors. This unique cell, in the environment of that petri dish, is able to survive.
E. coli are about as simple as living organisms can get, and because they reproduce so rapidly you can actually see evolution's effects on a normal time scale. In the past several decades, many different types of bacteria have become immune to antibiotics. In a similar way, insects become immune to insecticides because they breed so quickly. For example, DDT-resistant mosquitoes evolved from normal mosquitoes.
In most cases, evolution is a much slower process.
Bacteria reproduce asexually. This means that, when a bacteria cell splits, both halves of the split are identical -- they contain exactly the same DNA. The offspring is aclone of the parent.
As explained in How Human Reproduction Works, higher organisms like plants, insects and animals reproduce sexually, and this process makes the actions of evolution more interesting. Sexual reproduction can create a tremendous amount of variation within a species. For example, if two parents have multiple children, all of the children can be remarkably different. Two brothers can have different hair color, different heights, different blood types and so on. Here's why that happens:
Photo courtesy U.S. DOE, Human Genome Project
- Instead of a long loop of DNA like a bacterium, cells of plants and animals have chromosomes that hold the DNA strands. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Fruit flies have five pairs. Dogs have 39 pairs, and some plants have as many as 100.
- Chromosomes come in pairs. Each chromosome is a tightly packed strand of DNA. There are two strands of DNAjoined together at the centromere to form an X-shaped structure. One strand comes from the mother and one from thefather.
- Because there are two strands of DNA, it means that animals have two copies of every gene, rather than one copy as in an E. coli cell.
- When a female creates an egg or a male creates a sperm, the two strands of DNA must combine into asingle strand. The sperm and egg from the mother and father each contribute one copy of each chromosome. They meet to give the new child two copies of each gene.
- To form the single strand in the sperm or egg, one or the other copy of each gene is randomly chosen. One or the other gene from the pair of genes in each chromosome gets passed on to the child.
Because of the random nature of gene selection, each child gets a different mix of genes from the DNA of the mother and father. This is why children from the same parents can have so many differences.
A gene is nothing but a template for creating an enzyme. This means that, in any plant or animal, there are actually two templates for every enzyme. In some cases, the two templates are the same (homozygous), but in many cases the two templates are different (heterozygous).
Here is a well-known example from pea plants that helps understand how pairs of genes can interact. Peas can be tall or short. The difference comes, according to Carol Deppe in the book "Breed your own Vegetable Varieties":
...in the synthesis of a plant hormone called gibberellin. The "tall" version of the gene is normally the form that is found in the wild. The "short" version, in many cases, has a less active form of one of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of the hormone, so the plants are shorter. We refer to two genes as alleles of each other when they are inherited as alternatives to each other. In molecular terms, alleles are different forms of the same gene. There can be more than two alleles of a gene in a population of organisms. But any given organism has only two alleles at the most. Shorter plants usually cannot compete with the taller forms in the wild. A short mutant in a patch of tall plants would be shaded out. That problem isn't relevant when a human plants a patch or field with nothing but short plants. And short plants may be earlier than tall ones, or less subject to lodging (falling over) in the rain or wind. They also may have a higher proportion of grain to the rest of the plant. So shorter plants can be advantageous as cultivated crops. Specific mutations or alleles are not good or bad in and of themselves, but only within a certain context. An allele that promotes better growth in hot weather may promote inferior growth in cold weather, for example.
One thing to notice in Deppe's quote is that a mutation in a single gene may have no effect on an organism, or its offspring, or its offspring's offspring. For example, imagine an animal that has two identical copies of a gene in one allele. A mutation changes one of the two genes in a harmful way. Assume that a child receives this mutant gene from the father. The mother contributes a normal gene, so it may have no effect on the child (as in the case of the "short" pea gene). The mutant gene might persist through many generations and never be noticed until, at some point, both parents of a child contribute a copy of the mutant gene. At that point, taking the example from Deppe's quote, you might get a short pea plant because the plant does not form the normal amount of gibberellin.
Another thing to notice is that many different forms of a gene can be floating around in a species. The combination of all of the versions of all of the genes in a species is called the gene pool of the species. The gene pool increases when a mutation changes a gene and the mutation survives. The gene pool decreaseswhen a gene dies out.
One of the simplest examples of evolution can be witnessed in an E. coli cell. To get a better grip on the process, we'll take a look at what happens in this cell.
As mentioned in the previous section, many things can cause a DNA mutation, including:
- Xrays
- Cosmic Rays
- Nuclear Radiation
- Random chemical reactions in the cell
Therefore, mutations are fairly common.
According to "Molecular Biology of the Cell":
Only about one nucleotide pair in a thousand is randomly changed every 200,000 years. Even so, in a population of 10,000 individuals, every possible nucleotide substitution will have been "tried out" on about 50 occasions in the course of a million years, which is a short span of time in relation to the evolution of species. Much of the variation created in this way will be disadvantageous to the organism and will be selected against in the population. When a rare variant sequence is advantageous, however, it will be rapidly propagated by natural selection. Consequently, it can be expected that in any given species the functions of most genes will have been optimized by random point mutation and selection.
According to the book "Evolution," by Ruth Moore, it is possible to speed up mutations with radiation:
So Muller put hundreds of fruit flies in gelatin capsules and bombarded them with X-rays. The irradiated flies were then bred to untreated ones. In 10 days thousands of their offspring were buzzing around their banana-mash feed, and Muller was looking upon an unprecedented outburst of man-made mutations. There were flies with bulging eyes, flat eyes, purple, yellow and brown eyes. Some had curly bristles, some no bristles...
As you saw in the previous section, mutations are a random and constant process. As mutations occur, natural selection decides which mutations will live on and which ones will die out. If the mutation is harmful, the mutated organism has a much decreased chance of surviving and reproducing. If the mutation is beneficial, the mutated organism survives to reproduce, and the mutation gets passed on to its offspring. In this way, natural selection guides the evolutionary process to incorporate only the good mutations into the species, and expunge the bad mutations.
The book "Extinct Humans," by Ian Tattersall and Jeffrey Schwartz, puts it this way:
...in every generation, many more individuals are produced than ever survive to maturity and to reproduce themselves. Those that succeed -- the "fittest" -- carry heritable features that not only promote their own survival but are also passed along preferentially to their offspring. In this view, natural selection is no more than the sum of all those factors that act to promote the reproductive success of some individuals (and its lack in others). Add the dimension of time, and over the generations natural selection will act to change the complexion of each evolving lineage, as advantageous variations become common in the population at the expense of those less advantageous.
Let's look at an example of natural selection from How Whales Work.
The ancestors of whales lived on land -- there is evidence of the evolution of the whale from life on land to life in the sea (read How Whales Work for details), but how and why did this happen? The "why" is commonly attributed to the abundance of food in the sea. Basically, whales went where the food was. The "how" is a bit more perplexing: Whales are mammals, like humans are, and like humans, they lived and walked on solid ground, breathing air into their lungs. How did whales become sea creatures? One aspect of this evolution, according to Tom Harris, author of How Whales Work, is explained as follows:
To make this transition, whales had to overcome a number of obstacles. First of all, they had to contend with reduced access to breathable air. This led to a number of remarkable adaptations. The whale's "nose" moved from the face to the top of the head. This blowhole makes it easy for whales to breathe in air without fully surfacing. Instead, a whale swims near the surface, arches its body so its back briefly emerges and then flexes its tail, propelling it quickly to lower depths.
Odd as it seems that the whale's "nose" actually changed positions, the theory of evolution explains this phenomenon as a long process that occurs over perhaps millions of years:
- Random mutation resulted in at least one whale whose genetic information placed its "nose" farther back on its head.
- The whales with this mutation were more suited to the sea environment (where the food was) than "normal" whales, so they thrived and reproduced, passing on this genetic mutation to their offspring:Natural selection "chose" this trait as favorable.
- In successive generations, further mutations placed the nose farther back on the head because the whales with this mutation were more likely to reproduce and pass on their altered DNA. Eventually, the whale's nose reached the position we see today.
Natural selection selects those genetic mutations that make the organism most suited to its environment and therefore more likely to survive and reproduce. In this way, animals of the same species who end up in different environments can evolve in completely different ways.
Keep in mind that not all mutations are bad. Some are actually beneficial.
Imagine that you take a group of Saint Bernards and put them on one island, and on another island you put a group of Chihuahuas. Saint Bernards and Chihuahuas are both members of the species "dog" right now -- a Saint Bernard can mate with a Chihuahua (probably through artificial insemination) and create normal puppies. They will be odd-looking puppies, but normal puppies nonetheless.
Given enough time, it is possible to see how speciation -- the development of a new species through evolution -- could occur among the Saint Bernards and the Chihuahuas on their respective islands. What would happen is that the Saint Bernard gene pool would acquire random mutations shared by all of the Saint Bernards on the island (through interbreeding), and the Chihuahuas would acquire a completely different set of random mutations shared by all of the Chihuahuas on their island. These two gene pools would eventually become incompatible with one another, to the point where the two breeds could no longer interbreed. At that point, you have two distinct species.
Because of the huge size difference between a Saint Bernard and a Chihuahua, it would be possible to put both types of dogs on the same island and have the exact same process occur. The Saint Bernards would naturally breed with only the Saint Bernards and the Chihuahuas would naturally breed with only the Chihuahuas, so speciation would still occur.
If you put two groups of Chihuahuas on two separate islands, the process would also occur. The two groups of Chihuahuas would accumulate different collections of mutations in their gene pools and eventually become different species that could not interbreed.
The theory of evolution proposes that the process that might create a separate Chihuahua-type species and Saint Bernard-type species is the same process that has created all of the species we see today. When a species gets split into two (or more) distinct subsets, for example by a mountain range, an ocean or a size difference, the subsets pick up different mutations, create different gene pools and eventually form distinct species.
Is this truly how all of the different species we see today have formed? Most people agree that bacteria evolve in small ways (microevolution), but there is some controversy around the idea of speciation (macroevolution). Let's take a look at where the controversy comes from.
Two words:
Science, bitch.
We will be a part of the big protest against the Pope in September.
I hope, it is okay for you

By itself... it's just ok. I'm not going to lie I was a little disappointed, and it wasn't as rich as other raw dark chocolate i've tried, especially considering it's 70%. Based on that and the price, I wouldn't buy it again but, as another reviewer suggested, I think i'm going to melt it down and make some little chocolates out of it, or bake with it, I suspect it will be much nicer used those ways.

It's just ok. Doesn't have or impart a real taste of chocolate like what I am accustomed to eating. Perhaps, its mainly because they did not include any chocolate liquor in this product - just doesn't have that real bittersweet kick to it.

It's really good, but comes in one big lump, melt it down and put in your own moulds its the best raw chocolate I've tasted.
Nice Chocolate

This is good chocolate. I made the mistake of ordering this when it's hot so the texture wasn't as it should be due to the heat.Will order again but wait until the weather is a little cooler.

text: The group returned to the studio in April, completing ballads like "You Can Tell Me" and "Love Is," co-written by Howie Dorough, as well as more upbeat collaborations between BSBs Kevin Richardson and Nick Carter and artist Kenna. Four tracks were produced by the Underdogs, the team behind Ruben Studdard. "We're experimenting with different sounds," A.J. McLean told Rolling Stone. "I've gotten into a lot more Seventies rock and funk." Before launching their tour, the Boys -- who have sold some 68 million albums -- hope to film their hunt for a new bodyguard as a new reality TV show to be produced by Osbournes creator Jonathan Taylor. The winner's first day on the job will be the kickoff of the group's U.S. tour.

The buzz around making vehicles always-on Internet hubs has long seemed like a solution in search of a problem. Why does your dashboard need its own apps, mobile operating system and audio/video streaming software when most smartphones can do the same jobs better? (Or display ads?) And what good is a system like General Motors' OnStar if you only use it in emergencies?
Thanks to Volvo, we now have an idea of one task such technology seems perfect for: Letting UPS, FedEx and your local pizza delivery guy use your car as a shipping address.
Set to be unveiled later this month at the mobile tech industry's global convention in Barcelona, Volvo calls its system "digital keys." Under the concept, shoppers would designate their car as the eventual destination when they ordered their Thai food or camo-print Snuggie. A smartphone app would alert them to the arrival and departure of the delivery person, who would have their own car-tracking app and a code that allows for a one-time access to the customer's Volvo. Once it's used, the digital key disappears.
This isn't a lab-only idea; Volvo tested the system with 100 volunteers, and 92 of them said the service was more convenient than having goods shipped to their houses. "By turning the car into a pickup and drop-off zone through digital keys, we solved a lot of problems delivering goods to people, not places," said Klas Bendrik, Volvo Car Group's chief information officer.
And Volvo may be onto something. Front porches and apartment lobbies aren't exactly secure places for packages, and delivery firms waste millions of dollars a year when they can't find a recipient. The idea that a car could be unlocked remotely or automatically call for help after a crash seemed odd when first deployed, but has become accepted, even expected, in new models. In-dash Infotainment is nice, but when it comes to justifying new technology, it's no hot pizza.

Funny you say that. An hour after you posted that, Lulz hacked some website and released the entire database of users emails and passwords, revealing even some government / military passwords.
I know it was sarcasm you used but I still find it pretty funny rofl.
lol what?? You cannot kill what you did not create...
He was being sarcastic... but anyways i wonder when the retaliation will begin from anon. Anon is being more and more famous from their attacks and threats, such as their warning to NATO and such.
I like the way this 6`3" mans mug shot was taken the 15th feb , here in the uk by the Metropolitan Police.
You think? Did you not see the scene pretty much die when sony started picking on people? People ***** out, especially those that think they're above others. They will tell on everyone, and everyone will quit doing anything that can get them in trouble.

Comments about 'IRS probe ignored most influential groups on right and left, targeted 'the little guy''
- Oldest first

The real IRS scandal should be that a lot of organizations (right and left) are getting a tax exempt status reserved for organizations that are primarily for social welfare when these groups are clearly primarily for political activism.

The tax code needs to be totally and completely overhauled and the IRS abolished. Never again should this kind of intimidation happen. And anybody in the administration who had knowledge of this while it was happening needs to resign.

The business woman in Texas who had not be audited in 20 years claims she had 17 federal agency (IRS, OSHA, ATF, FBI) visits after applying for a tax-exempt organization status illustrates that the IRS misconduct was not an error in judgment or an unwise decision. If true, these abuses are not the IRS just over zealously doing their job. While apologies are in order, if laws were broken there should also be justice. IF Mr. Obama, Mr. Holder and the former IRS chief do not have answers, just who is in charge?

Of course they start with their unprecedented demands for voluminous
documentation from the small groups. They are less likely to have high priced
lawyers doing the paperwork, and thus will be the easiest to intimidate. Then,
the IRS only has to point out to the larger groups "Nice little group you
got here. Be a shame if anything happened to youse guys," and point out
that other groups have given up.
This was a purely political exercise, with the goal of suppressing votes from conservatives, one of the most dastardly deeds in a democracy.

The scandal has been admitted to.
IT not even an issue that they went after certain groups, most certainly to silence their voices, with a costly and belabored application process.
And the fact government was using tyrannical powers to do this should be abhorrent whether you agree with those voices or not.

Rondo, Suzuki are on All-Auto Team
Forget about the Big Three. Here are our Big Ten -- not likely to expand to 12 -- on the All-Automobile Team for 2010:
LeCharles Bentley: If the former Saints center wants to purchase one of his namesake British vehicles these days, he'll need as much as $231,400. And by namesake, we mean Bentley. As far as we know, LeCharles is not on the market in 2010.
Dedrick Dodge: NFL receivers had a hard time dodging Dedrick, a former Florida State Seminole who won Super Bowl rings with the 49ers (SB XXIX) and Broncos (SB XXXII) in a six-year pro career.
Keisuke Honda: He's not related to the automaking dynasty, but Keisuke Honda, a member of Japan's World Cup team, does come from an athletic family. An uncle participated in the canoe events in the 1964 Olympics, and a cousin was a wrestler in three more Olympics.
Lincoln Kennedy: Might be captain of the All-Presidential Team one day. Born Tamerlane Fizel Kennedy, he acquired the nickname Lincoln from his mom, who was also born on Abraham Lincoln's birthday of Feb. 12. The youngster took a liking to the name, and he made the legal change shortly before entering the NFL in 1993. He played with the Falcons and Raiders in the NFL and even took a stab at arena ball as a 36-year-old in 2007. He's now a broadcaster for Fox.
Marcus Liberty: Allegedly next in line of great Chicago players (Doc Rivers, Mark Aguirre, et al) when he came out of high school in 1987, Liberty never quite justified the hype. After four seasons with the Nuggets and Pistons, NBA teams offered him as much freedom as the Jeep Liberty provided an adventurous driver.
Eddie LeBaron: The model marketed as LeBaron was Chrysler's high-end vehicle in the late 1950s -- just about the time Eddie LeBaron began to break through as an NFL quarterback -- but there was no relation between the two developments. Chrysler brought the brand back after a 20-year, economically related hiatus. It didn't go mainstream until 1977, by which time the 5-foot-7, 160-pound signal-caller known as the Little General had retired. Renyel Pinto: Unlike the infamous Ford from the 1970s, Renyel Pinto won't explode if you make a little contact. Over his career, which has spanned 231 innings, opponents are hitting only .183 against him with runners in scoring position.
Rajon Rondo: Perhaps there's something to this "You are what you drive" theory. Here's what Consumer Reports said about the Kia Rondo, a seven-passenger SUV, in 2009: "The Kia Rondo may not be the coolest car on the planet, but it's really useful and the long warranty just adds to its value." Rajon Rondo missed only one of the Celtics' 106 games this year (playoffs and regular season) and has competed in 380 of the club's 392 contests in his career.
Ichiro Suzuki: The not-so-ancient Mariner is already a member of the 3,000-hit club. If you count the 1,278 he collected for the Orix Blue Wave in Japan, that is. And if xenophobia or something else prevents you from counting those, fear not. At his current rate of 225 hits per season, Ichiro will surpass 3,000 in MLB competition on or about June 1, 2014. He'll be 40 then.
Cadillac Williams: Carnell Lamar Williams earned the nickname from a TV guy while still in high school. As they do with so many running backs, knee injuries have limited Williams' contributions to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he says he'll improve on the 823 yards he posted last season.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Set the bones in a baking pan with half an onion, toss with oil, and roast until the bones are golden brown. Remove the bones and onion from the roasting pan, deglaze the pan with 1 cup water over medium heat until the brown bits are incorporated into the water, and reserve the liquid.
Put the bones and roasted onion in a stockpot, cover with stock, and bring to a simmer. Add the deglazing liquid. Skim the stock, add the vegetables and herbs, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Strain and return the stock to a low simmer.
Meanwhile, sauté the liver and set aside to cool, then dice and reserve. Put the gizzard, heart, and neck in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to just below a simmer to blanch. Drain and cut the gizzard into small pieces and add it to the stock along with the remaining giblets. Cook the giblets until tender, about 1 1/2 hours, and reduce stock to desired color and flavor (should have at least 3 cups). Strain and reserve the giblets.
Add the reduced stock to a shallow pan and sprinkle with flour, whisking until incorporated and smooth. Cook for 5 minutes, until it has thickened to a gravy consistency. Strain, add the giblets and chopped liver, and season with salt and pepper.(Published 2005)

Modesty: Not Just for Women
By Talia Hava Davis
When I decided to dress only in long skirts and long sleeve shirts, my mom whined. "Talia! But you look so cute in pants!" But I had made up my mind. I told her I would wear pants at home with the family but only skirts when I was in public. It was a bid to recapture a sense of modesty that I had lost through my many years of secular education and flashing television images of naked women. I was searching for my place in the world and part of my path was going to take me deep into the heart of Orthodox Judaism. And let me tell you, it is quite a refresher to dress for yourself and not for the men or women in your life. I didn't worry about looking hot or stripping down my outfit to the bare bones so I could show off what Hashem made. I realized that what I had under my clothes was for me (and my future husband).
My personal path through Judaism, while never complete, took me through living a tznius lifestyle and I came out the other end with a newfound appreciation. Though I don't always wear skirts any more, I try, with my clothing and actions, to be modest. I found my spot. I know that when I get married, covering my hair will be important to me, and my future husband will need to share that value for Jewish law requires a man to dress modestly too. It's not so obvious today, mainly because women's clothing has gotten skimpier and skimpier while men's clothing has just gotten less formal. But it has always bothered me that people assume modesty is a woman's burden.
The Hebrew word tznius or tzniut means modesty. It is generally used in reference to women and also relates to humility and general conduct, especially between men and women. In Orthodox Judaism, modesty is a complicated and extensive topic. The following is a simple guide to some of the basic principles, but I invite you to explore it further.
(For the record, though I use the term "Ultra-Orthodox" to describe the Frum, or observant Jews who are differentiated from the Orthodox or Modern Orthodox, I do not intend it pejoratively. It serves here merely to differentiate the traditions for the uninitiated reader.)
Women's Dress
From the outset, we must remember that there are different levels based on observance or sect, and that each group has its own minhag hamakom or tradition of the community. Some groups avoid most colors and dress in a black-and-brown palatte, some only avoid red, some deliberately don't follow fashion, and some are very fashionable.
Reform and Conservative Judaism put little to no emphasis modesty or tzniut. Conservative Judaism recommends modest dress, but it is not broadly observed on a daily basis and generally not discussed.
Orthodox Judaism has varying levels of modest dress. Modern Orthodox women generally wear shirts that reach the elbow and cover the collarbone, skirts that at least cover their knees, and may or may not wear stockings or tights. They may also wear pants in their own home. Some women may not ever go barefoot, preferring rather to wear socks to cover their feet if they aren't wearing shoes.
In Charedi or Ultra-Orthodox communities (which include many Chassidic Jews), the basic guidelines are as follows: shirts with sleeves that reach below the elbows (at least) and completely cover the collarbone, and skirts that cover the knees completely (even when sitting). They won't wear skirts with slits and often times will sew them shut or create a kick-pleat. Most groups prefer closed-toe shoes and stockings. Many communities have customs about the thickness of the stockings. Women will not go barefoot and if they aren't wearing shoes, will wear socks over their stockings.
As the daughter, niece, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of rabbis, Talia Davis has been immersed in Jewish culture and communities throughout her life. She has lived in Israel and served as the Religious and Cultural Vice President of the Southeast Region of North American Federation of Temple Youth.

I and a couple others will need to be on it working on sat.-sun. everyweek. It will take less than 8 weeks, So if anyone has or knows of someone who has any property near Mt.

Currently it is in a storage facility where WA. law states that work on premises cannot be done. I have money just no space to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :mrgreen:

The Cos Cob Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the Cos Cob area of Greenwich, Connecticut, via the New Haven Line.
Cos Cob is 29.6 miles (47.6 km) from Grand Central Terminal. The station has 567 parking spaces, 361 owned by the state.[2]
Built in about 1890, the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 as Cos Cob Railroad Station.[3] The nearby Mianus River Railroad Bridge is also listed on the National Register. The Cos Cob Power Station, a former New Haven Railroad electrical substation on the western edge of that bridge is also NRHP-registered despite being demolished during the turn of the millennium.
"On Christmas Day, 1848, the last rails were laid over the Cos Cob Bridge, thereby supplying the last link needed to complete the railroad from New Haven to New York," according to the Stamford Historical Society Web site. "The first trial run was made on that day."[4]
Editors of two Stamford newspapers reported on the event. William H. Holly, Esq., founder of the Stamford Sentinel and a guest on the first trial run, wrote: "The train had to remain at Cos Cob Bridge some three hours for the last rails to be laid over it and the delay gave ample opportunity to the people to come and witness the wonderful feat. The general impression among them seemed to be, that the first train that attempted to cross this pass would also be the last."[4]
Edgar Hoyt, editor of the Stamford Advocate: "The citizens of the village as well as the horses, cattle, etc., were nearly frightened out of their propriety ... by such a horrible scream as was never heard to issue from any other than a metallic throat. Animals of every description went careening round the fields, snuffling the air in their terror."[4]

This station has two high-level side platforms each six cars long. The northern platform, adjacent to Track 3, is generally used by westbound trains. The southern platform, adjacent to Track 4, is generally used by eastbound trains.
The New Haven Line has four tracks at this location. The two inner tracks, not adjacent to either platform, are used only by express trains.

The view
Great location!
Bathtub didn't drain. Housekeeping started knocking on door at 830 even though checkout was not until noon. Felt a bit rushed to leave.
Great location! Very clean and the complimentary breakfast was so convenient. I would definitely stay again.
The cleaning staff knocked on my door twice on checkout day and I left around 11ish. Felt a little rushed to leave.
Walking distance to Fenway and the T at Yawkee. The deck overlooking Fenway was a plus.
Room configuration was a bit odd. Pricey for $---- a night plus $45 parking.
Loved the breakfast, the bar was apparently pretty good, and the staff was super nice. Also we left quite a mess and it looks like we didn't get charged extra.
The room felt a bit cramped for four people, the view wasn't the best, and some of the outlets were hard to use, but these are all really quite minor things to me.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful and comfortable room with simple, but complete dishes etc in the kitchen
Weekend breakfast did not start until 7 AM
I was expecting to be a regular hotel room but they had an oven, fridge, etc... Loved the place.
convenient location, friendly staff, well above average included breakfast
valet parking is expensive and street parking is scarce
Everything was great from check in to the room to breakfast.
Convenient location to Boston University, Fenway Park, & reasonable access to downtown
Parking was overly expensive
Rooms are good size Free Sank in evening
expensive parking
location near Fenway Park and medical center
$40 a night to park!

Texas looks to stay perfect on Mondays
David Fox
Rivals.com College Basketball
Best matchup: Texas at Kansas State. Texas loves Mondays. The Longhorns are 4-0 on Monday nights, including their two best conference wins. In the past two weeks, Texas defeated Kansas 72-69 and rival Texas A&M 77-50 on Mondays. Look for a battle on the glass between the Big 12's top two rebounders Kansas State's Michael Beasley (12.5 per game) and Texas' Damion James (10.6).
The pressure is on: Baylor. The Bears were the feel-good story of the season after a 16-2 start, including 4-0 in the Big 12. But Baylor hasn't been the same since a five-overtime win over Texas A&M in College Station on Jan. 23. Since then, Baylor is 1-6 and has fallen to 5-6 in conference play. The Bears must turn this slump around to ensure their first NCAA bid since 1988. The rest of the games are winnable, starting with a home game against Kansas State, which has lost its past three road games. Of its five remaining opponents, only the Wildcats and Texas A&M have winning records in conference play. Baylor plays both teams in Waco.
Upset alert: Texas Tech over Texas A&M. The Aggies again have fallen on hard times, falling to Oklahoma State at home on Saturday (the Cowboys' first road win in league play) and losing by 27 to Texas on Monday. Texas Tech is 2-3 under Pat Knight but has played solid basketball. Look for the Red Raiders to try to capitalize on the Aggies' struggles.
RPI watch: The Big 12 inched past the Pac-10 in RPI conference rankings. The Big 12 ranks second behind the ACC and is .0002 points ahead of the Pac-10.
Key stat: Kansas State forward Michael Beasley tied an NCAA freshman record in the Wildcats' loss to Nebraska with his 22nd double-double of the season. He scored 22 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. He needs one more to break the tie with Syracuse's Carmelo Anthony, set in 2002-03.
Freshman to watch: Nebraska 5-foot-7 point guard Cookie Miller isn't quite filling up the scoring column yet, but he's helping in several other areas. In the 71-64 upset of Kansas State on Wednesday, he had six assists and five steals. He had another five-steal game earlier in the week at Iowa State. He appears to be finding his shooting touch, too. Miller scored only three points against the Wildcats, but has been in double-digits three times in the past five games. He accomplished that only twice in the first 19 games.
Who's hot: Beasley was the first player in Big 12 history to win a weekly award in four consecutive weeks when he was named the league's Rookie of the Week on Feb. 18.
Oklahoma State guard Byron Eaton averaged 21 points last week in wins over Baylor and at Texas A&M. He was 11 of 18 from the field and 16 of 18 from the line in those games.
Oklahomaguard Austin Johnson is averaging 17.3 points over the past three games. The Sooners have won all three games.
Texas Tech guard Alan Voskuil is averaging 18.2 points in five games since Pat Knight became coach.
Who's not: Kansas State has lost three in a row on the road to teams that were a combined 8-16 in the Big 12 at tip-off.
Colorado has allowed its past two opponents to shoot 54 percent (59-of-109) from the field.
Missouri forward DeMarre Carroll is averaging 8.3 points and four rebounds over his past three games. Those marks are 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds fewer than his previous season averages.
Worth noting: Commenting on rumors that Oklahoma State would come after him to replaceSean Sutton, Kansas coach Bill Self, an Oklahoma State alum, said, "It's not going to happen, so to be honest with you, it is a disservice to everybody involved to call attention to it."
Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin said he will not be a one-and-done player. He told The Oklahoman he will not enter the NBA draft after his freshman season.
Kansas guard Sherron Collins is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma State with a deep bruise on his right knee.
Saying his team needed a change, Baylor coach Scott Drew started guard Tweety Carter and forward Mark Shepherd in place of guard Aaron Bruce and center Josh Lomers against Oklahoma State. Carter scored 17 points, but Shepherd went scoreless in 14 minutes.
Iowa State's 11 points in the first half against Nebraska on Saturday were the fewest scored in a Big 12 game. The Cyclones still won 60-52.

Best Place To Take A Foodie (2001)
Rabbit, fig and pine nut baklava with quail egg and chive sauce? Oh, sure, we had that for lunch. Eggplant tacos with lamb, arugula, Kasseri cheese, cucumber-radish relish and roasted tomato-garlic sauce? Yawn. Yeah, right.
Chances are even the most cultivated culinary diva hasn't experienced such extraordinary pairings as baby greens with roasted goat cheese, sun-dried pears, almond-honey brittle and balsamic-cactus fruit vinaigrette; or charbroiled beef tenderloin with potato-leek gratin, butternut squash, spinach, smoked bacon and provolone-filled green chile on a pool of sun-dried cherry barbecue sauce.
Medizona can get even the most jaded foodie to eat up and take notice.

OFAC Compliance
Fiondella, Lisa, Independent Banker
Software can help banks comply with new anti-terrorism regulations
Following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Congress and President Bush made an appeal to financial institutions worldwide to assist in shutting down the financial arm of all known terrorist organizations, and Congress passed legislation designed to prevent terrorists from funding their activities through the U.S. financial system. A key component of this strategy is the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Under OFAC regulations, it is the responsibility of each financial institution operating in the United States to identify and report transactions involving "specially designated nationals" or "blocked persons" to the agency and to freeze the assets involved. This requires community banks to screen their new and established accounts regularly against the OFAC list of specifically designated nationals and blocked persons. The task can be made easier and more reliable with new online screening software-such as Equifax's OFAC Alert.
Community banks have a regulatory obligation to establish minimum due diligence procedures for correspondent and private banking relationships with non-U.S. persons and banks. OFAC publishes a list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons and provides information on sanctions programs against certain countries and territories. Consisting of only a few thousand entities and individuals before Sept. 11, the list has expanded to include dozens of suspected additional terrorists and terrorist-sponsoring organizations.
OFAC oversight of the statutes and regulations it administers is expected to become increasingly rigorous. Since Sept. 11, more than 1000 accounts have been under investigation in the United States alone. "Now more than ever, bank examiners will be looking closely to see whether your bank has procedures in place to assure that your employees follow OFAC regulations," says Robert G. Rowe, ICBA's regulatory counsel.
Under OFAC regulations, all U.S. financial institutions are required to block assets and notify OFAC any time a specially designated national or blocked person is involved in a transaction. Any suspicious transaction should be reported within 10 days.
To comply with these regulations, banks and other financial institutions are required to:
* Have the current OFAC listings of specially designated nationals and blocked persons;
* Compare new accounts, loan customers, wire transfers and other transactions with OFAC's listing before opening accounts or processing transactions; and
* Regularly check established accounts and other customer transactions against the current OFAC listings. Stiff penalties are possible against
organizations that violate OFAC regulations. Failing to comply with OFAC regulations may result in large fines, and even criminal penalties if the violation is anything other than inadvertent. In today's environment, compliance failures may also run the risk of public embarrassment and harm to a company's reputation.
OFAC suggests that every financial institution establish a comprehensive compliance program. Developing procedures for use throughout an organization presents significant challenges as OFAC regulations and reporting requirements can change at any time. It is the responsibility of the financial institution to establish audit procedures and keep up with current regulations to prevent violations.
OFAC recommends several steps when setting up a compliance program:
* Designate a compliance officer with responsibility for monitoring compliance and overseeing blocked assets;
* Identify risk in all areas, paying close attention to screening new and existing accounts, wire and ACH transfers;
* Include processes for screening accounts, verifying positive hits and reporting blocked transactions to OFAC;
* Establish consistent communication and training for distribution of OFAC information, including publication of OFAC policies and procedures to all employees, supported by signed acknowledgment of receipt and understanding;
* Conduct internal audits annually; and
* Implement the use of screening software to minimize the risk of violations. …

Removal of the tax credits from the Affordable Care Act means worse health outcomes for health center patients. Those who could have entered the health system at an early and treatable point of a health condition may end up visiting their health center/ER with a much more complicated (and costly) issue. Not only is this a moral argument, it's a basic public health argument.
I suspect the Koch brothers are perfectly happy to have folks like me running around arguing about the correct deflator to use or the percent of the Ryan budget's spending cuts affecting low-income programs, while they continue to buy "research" that says otherwise and policies that exacerbate inequality. That doesn't mean we give up on factual analysis. It's what we do best and I will not be convinced that facts are irrelevant. But neither will I kid myself that facts matter anywhere near as much as they should, or that they will win the day anytime soon. Despite evidence to the contrary, we will be stuck with austerity economics and "Obamacare kills children" for the indeterminate future. More damagingly, we may well be unable to ban assault weapons or take actions against climate change, all due to... what? A missing movement? An inadequate theory of how change occurs? Lack of money? Votes?
