Hazen Union High wins frog dissection software from PETA
HARDWICK — Biology class may never be the same.
Students at Hazen Union School in Hardwick will be saving the lives of a few amphibians this semester as they learn about anatomy with a dissection simulator.
The software, Digital Frog 2.5, was the prize awarded to Hazen Union by the education arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals after science teacher Teal Church submitted the winning essay in a contest explaining why the school deserved the new tool. The students started using it this month.
According to PETA, the tool allows students to "cut" tissue by using a digital scalpel to explore the animal's anatomy. And unlike dead frogs that have been dissected the old-fashioned way — with knives — PETA says the software teaches students about how frogs' living bodies work and about their natural habitats.
"We're delighted to help Ms. Church and Hazen Union take the lead in teaching biology with humane, modern methods," said PETA's senior vice president of laboratory investigations, Kathy Guillermo, in a news release.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

nyk_nyk, i want to point out melo has been posting just as many vids and pics of himself working out. He feels that he has something to prove.
The truth is they all have something to prove; who has the most? I am unsure.
Felton had his body, toughness and heart questioned. That's incredibly hard to take and I'm sure that he's got as big of a chip on his shoulder as anyone this season.
Melo has to prove he can perform in NY, in the playoffs and lead the team to WINS not just points.
STAT has to prove that he can handle his emotions (fire extinguisher), evolve his offensive game, Play defense, find spacing on the floor, and get some athleticism back. Out of the three I'd say he has the biggest hill to climb and the highest expectations (especially after the PR with hakeem and the twitter incident).
I said Felton orginially because he was DNP doghouse status in protland but i think i'd vote that STAT has the most to prove.

The apartment is served by numerous bus routes day and night.
OXFORD STREET, the premier shopping street in Europe is under a mile(1km) walk from the apartment. It is one and a half miles(2km) from end to end and is a shoppers paradise. Most shops open 10am until 6 or 7pm. Many also open on Sunday from 12 to 6pm with late nights on Thursday. Oxford Street is best known for Selfridges and the other big department stores which are all found in the section from Marble Arch to Oxford Circus, along with most of the big-name multinationals such as Nike, Primark, Topshop, Apple, etc. It's more of the same towards Tottenham Court Road, but generally on a smaller scale. Oxford Street is said to be the busiest shopping street in Europe.
The section of Edgware Road near to Marble Arch is famous for its distinctive Middle-Eastern character. Lebanese restaurants, shisha cafes and clubs line both sides of the road, with some staying open late into the night. Marble Arch station is a few minutes walk from the southern end of Edgware Road.
Just a short step away from the tourist hordes, the apartment still has the feel of a real neighbourhood, the wealthy residents are becoming ever more attractive as Harley Street, the traditional home of England's best doctors, has recently become the heart of the UK's flourishing plastic surgery industry.
The beautiful architecture (the Wallace Collection is a must) and the open spaces of Regent's Park and Hyde Park make this a fine area to have a wander, when the sun's out there are fewer places in London as scenic and special as Hyde Park.
While Marylebone High Street is absolutely charming, lined with traditional pubs, beautiful boutiques and shops (including the flagship Daunt Books) and excellent local restaurants as well as an impressive mix of hotels - and a farmer's market every Saturday.
A short walk from Marylebone is the home of the most famous fictional detective in the world 'Sherlock Holmes' bachelor flat at 221B Baker Street and the popular waxworks at Madame Tussauds.

+ quiet area, the beds were good and the sheets and towels clean - and a fantastic Thai restaurant just up the road (3 min)
- the house is very run down, it was nicely decorated for the photos, but it really needs renovation. The toilet didn't always flush (the only one for 7 people! and with half a roll of toilet paper provided for 4 days, so make sure to bring your own...), the two remaining couches fall forward when trying to sit on them, no batteries in the clocks, lightbulbs missing, no kitchen towels. Dirty kitchen, with two empty containers of instant coffee (well, empty would have been fine actually, both of them had a bit of dried/sticking coffee on the bottom), and the whole house smells damp/old. The cleaning must be very rushed, only the main areas are cleaned. (toilet, sink itself ok, but don't look anywhere else in the bathroom, or in any corners, or at the window-seal, or at any carpet...)
A bit more care by the owner would certainly be necessary.
Analisa has sent us very clear instructions for our stay in her house. The email exchanges were also very helpful. The house is nice and located in a quiet area. Hammersmith station is quite near; central London can be reached very easily. It was a nice stay !
Everything worked out well with the reservation and the stay.
Our contact people were responsive and good to deal with and the house was really comfortable.
Thank you!
The appartment was good.
1 bathroom and toilet in one room maybe a bit too small.
overall service was good. Reachability etc.
Hi Analisa,
We would like to thank you again for the kind hospitalilty during our stay. The children first visit to London was a "hit".
Everything was perfect. Just 1 advice: taking water in the bathroom upstairs starts pouring water in the kitchen downstairs and gives an annoying noice.
However, this won't stop us from booking again with you next time.
BEst regards,
Andre and family
A very place for our stay, a real improvements from our previous stays in London in various hotels. Place is perfect for groups of friends looking to visit London, as is 5 min from the Piccadilly line (to the museums, the musicals, the pubs....).
The rooms are comfortable, the living room and kitchen are perfect to spend the evening, and it is possible to get baby cots (for a fee) if needed.
A very nice stay with 10 girls in this beautifull apartment. Beds quality are awesome, it was really clean and the location of this house is really close to the center of london.
I recommend it !
Excellent location for our gig at Hammersmith Odeon -just 5 minutes walk! The decor is cool and modern and was fab for relaxing in. There were excellent communications regarding check in, key collection Etc and this gives great piece of mind! We were only there one night so not much time to note too much detail but a great stay - many thanks!
Nice house in a quiet area. Analisa gave all necessary information in advance so the key transfer was possible without any delay. The house was very clean (bathroom, bedrooms, kitchen), only the carpet of the launch/livingroom was a little bit dirty/spotty. The was a nice welcome gift in the fridge: thanks a lot for that! We missed some equipment in the kitchen, e.g. a sieve for noodles, a whisk, a cup coaster or a dishtowel.
The only real disadvantage for us was the fact that each bed had a very soft mattress, so four of us slept on the sofa beds in the living room. Nevertheless we recommend this appartement highly for a city trip.
The place was clean, near from the underground, in a quiet street. It was pleasant for our group, because we were tired. I definitely recommend this house.

Wait staff was knowledgeable and helpful. fThe fries were cooked separately to acomodate my celiac disease. Bun was fresh. Great service.
6255 Mills Civic Pkwy., West Des Moines, IA 50266
Had to have my meal remade because they put bread on the plate which is a no-no for those of us with Celiac. Yes I had ordered gluten-free. Waitress apologized and I got a small discount. My food arrived after everyone in the family had finished eating. Granddaughter's order was wrong. Won't go back.
2421 Cranberry Highway, Suite 350, Wareham, MA 02571
I go here a lot, I've never been sick and their burgers are amazing! The service is good too.

GF Cheeseburger with GF bun and GF bottomless fries. Good place to come. Knowledgeable waitress
20 Trinity Place, Washington, PA 15301
Ate here for the first time since being dxed celiac, the waiter was extremely helpful explaining the gf options. They make fries separate without seasoning for gf and of course they have gf buns that are actually decent.
4105 SW 117th, Ste. F, Beaverton, OR 97005
I have had a couple positive experiences here, but I will now avoid this place when it's busy. My last two experiences haven't been so great. In the first of these two, we called ahead for avocobbo salads, asking specifically for gf modifications. We picked them up, went home, and found that the bleu cheese was on the salads. I called to have it fixed. We arrived and the manager told me to tell the staff taking my order what modifications to make for my order to be gf. She was so adamant, and repeated herself multiple times; I felt as though she was putting all the responsibility on me. As one with celiac disease, who happens to also be pregnant (double reason to stay gf), I will do what's necessary to be and stay healthy. However, with an establishment that boasts gf measures (including a dedicated fryer), I shouldn't have to be solely responsible in teaching the staff how to serve what the restaurant offers. Anyways, we just went again tonight and, based on their own allergen menu, I detailed to the server the changes I needed in my salad. My husband ordered a burger with gf modifications. The fries brought out weren't gf (I'm experiencing a reaction from them as I type), he didn't get a gf bun, and my salad arrived with garlic toast on top (I did specify no toast). The server was wonderful, she demonstrated total awareness of my needs, and watched us like a hawk, asking right away what was wrong when I had to send the food back. She then went back, unbeknownst to me until her return, to ensure my salad was entirely remade. I'm not sure where the lapse is. If we go again we will no longer go when this place is busy, as it has been with both of these incidences.
45 Rivers Edge Drive, Milford, OH 45150
We just had an amazing experience at this location. The manager Myke came to our table and explained the whole process and steps they take to ensure there is no chance of cross contamination. He brought over a tablet to go over the menu items that would be safe for my daughter to eat. He even went back and made her food himself. At the end of our meal he came to check on us and gave me his business card and told us to ask for him if we had any other questions.
6524 W. Saginaw Highway, Lansing, MI 48917
Red Robin was one of our favorite places to eat. Then this year my daughter and husband were diagnosed with Celiac. I have gluten intolerance along with other food allergies. Going out has just been a struggle for us. We saw the reviews and decided to try it. All I have to say is WOW how impressed we were. We all had burgers and fries. We were served by the manager and the district manager came over and asked how everything was. We found out that the district manager is gluten sensitive, so he knew our concerns. We will definitely be going back.
31805 John R. Road, Madison Heights, MI 48071
Generally haven't gone since they stopped printing menus, but family was in town and wanted to go. Big mistake. I was very careful with the waiter, who seemed very knowledgeable. They promised me the fries were all cooked in a dedicated fryer. After eating half of my meal I picked up a fry to find pieces of onion ring underneath it. I've been sick for many days now and I'm probably not done yet. The waiter was very apologetic, but the manager didn't really seem to care.
5013 Bowen Drive, Mason, OH 45040
Allergy menu available. Gluten free buns and fries. Server knowledgable and able answer questions
46 E. Allen Street, Castle Rock, CO 80108
Ask for Greg, a handsome red head, to be your server. I'm celiac and super sensitive to cross contamination. Ate during peak dining hours on Tday weekend on a Saturday night didn't get sick!!! Burger and fries were delish!!
441 S. Randall Road, Algonquin, IL 60102
I have never gotten sick here and the food is yummy! The interactive menu is amazing! It's very, very family friendly so if your looking for more of a date night just ask to be seated in the bar area.

Manager and servers were all knowledgeable about Celiacs and gluten free. Burgers and fries were good. Dedicated fryer and option for a GF bun.

Super celiac friendly.. Manager came out to verify dedicated fryer. Food server reported all food was prepared seperately. Both my celiac girls had burgers and fries and loved it . No one got sick either!!! :)

Always have a great experience and the gluten free buns are amazing. The unseasoned fries are gluten free!
267 N. Milwaukee, Boise, ID 83704
Terrible. FOUND MAC and cheese hidden in the SP fries in one persons GF order and fried onions in the other. Total cross contamination. Food took incredibly long and some parts were ice cold!!! Worst lunch experience in Boise ever.
2720 Carl T Jones Dr SE, Huntsville, AL 35802
I had a wonderful experience at this location! William, the manager, was so helpful and understanding of all types of food allergies. Loved my experience; will definitely be back.
4970 137 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5Y 2V4, Canada T5Y 2V4
The waitress asked if it was a food allergy, and then came back to tell me that the dipping sauce wasn't gf, (which I already knew). The manager delivered my food, and came back to check if everything was ok. Positive experience all the way❤
6500 N. Illinois, Fairview Heights, IL 62208

Lots of options, always good food.
3333 S. Wadsworth #B, Lakewood, CO 80227
They're gluten free menu or what they call their allergy menu is on their website. They once had tablets but customers were stealing them. The manager and the waitress were super friend and helpful. I asked for the menu and the manager helped me access it on my phone. And the waitress made a note to the kitchen that I actually had a gluten allergy. I had no issues with my meal choices.
5550-3 Whittlesey Blvd., Columbus, GA 31909
Although my guac n bacon burger and fries were quite good, I've been sick since leaving. I'd hoped it was just eating too much. But the pain is just getting worse. I will be contacting the location just to inform them. I haven't been poisoned in almost 2 yrs!
1500 Mount Zion Road, York, PA 17402
Yummy gluten free buns! I had a bacon cheeseburger and it was delicious! Waiter asked of it was allergy or preference. Great service and food.
2669 Campus Drive, Plymouth, MN 55441
Make sure to get gfree fries with no seasoning, if I forget to ask and I eat the regular fries I get sick.
1200 Towne Centre, Suite 1100, Provo, UT 84601
Best gluten free bun I have had!! Delicious sweet potato fries! I was very pleased!
4259 Black Horse Pike, Mays Landing, NJ 08330
I just went to this location and my "plain salad" ( lettuce, tomato and dressing) came out with chicken in it which was cooked on a shared grill. I could have gotten really sick from this so I found my waitress and she had 0 emotion or care. I then spoke to the manager and she reacted the same way and simply said " sorry about that". Some staff members in this location don't take celiac disease seriously. Very disappointed.
12646 South Route 59, Plainfield, IL 60544
dedicated French fry fryers and gf buns. three celiac family and we never get sick at Red Robin.
28260 Diehl Road, Warrenville, IL 60555
Been here several times without a problem. However, make sure the server checks on the sauces. He told us one was GF but after checking found out it wasn't. Otherwise, they do a good job with GF.
3720 South Glenstone Ave., Springfield, MO 65804
Dedicated fryer for GF fries, yummy burgers, and such a nice treat to find GF fries!

I have been going here for years. Always great food with gluten free buns and French fries. Check out the web site or app for a full gluten free menu.

Large gluten free menu...GF bun so almost all burgers.
264 Woodbridge Center Drive, Woodbridge Township, NJ 07095
My daughter had a hamburger on a GF bun and she actually liked the bun, which if you've ever tried GF bread, you know that can be difficult. Fries are also GF (and unlimited).
610 Middletown Boulevard, Langhorne, PA 19047
I've gotten sick here a few times and the service is terrible so we have stopped going. I got what looked like "used" fries twice. not worth the risk even if it's close to home.
8522 W. Grand River, Brighton, MI 48116
The allergen menu is awful to try to find what you can and cannot eat. It's nice that you can plug in your allergies but it lists a few listed things that you can eat with the many things that need to be removed. It's just a name of s burger with the list of stuff you can't have so then you have to find this item on the regular menu to see what is on the burger. Other than blue and American cheese in this list you can't tell what cheeses are safe. I can never tell what cheeses are safe because I can't find them. Servers never know where to find this info and are not helpful. I question how accurate this list even is because I also had soy listed as an allergen and items know to contain soy like mayo are listed as ok to eat. If you are going to provide allergen info , make sure it is accurate and complete and train your employees. Now I remember why I don't eat here.
8190 Shadeland Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46250
Nice new restaurant. Great service and food.

Always been a favourite. Delicious.
5031 N Garland Ave, Garland, TX 75044
Both our server and the manager were knowledgeable about the menu and the kitchen procedures. The manager came out and explained how they treat gluten-free orders in the kitchen (separate utensils, etc.). They were very careful with my order and very attentive. They don't have a gluten-free menu printed but will bring you an iPad so you can view the menu online. Steak fries are fried in a dedicated fryer! Score!
36350 Warren Ave., Westland, MI 48185
GF buns...great burgers..even have GF alcohol options..great place!!!
4700 S Hulen St, Fort Worth, TX 76132
The day I was told to go on Gluten free diet we ate from Red Robin. The woman who took my order was awesome. They even have GF buns.
905 International Drive, Wilmington, NC 28405
Had lunch there yesterday and server was so confused about whether our fries were gf or not. Said she'd get others - obviously she was wrong. Having a horrid gluten attack. Very upset.
2331 Clover Basin Drive, Longmont, CO 80501
Well they appear to have an allergen menu, so we stopped to place a to go order. The hostess handed me an iPad with their allergen menu, which I was really happy to see. But after I selected my allergies (gluten, wheat and soy) I was prompted to sign a waiver that said I understand they can't guarantee that things would be cooked on separate cook tops, or that their suppliers didn't change their ingredients. Bottom line, not sure it is safe if you have Celiac. I didn't want to chance it.
6255 Mills Civic Pkwy., West Des Moines, IA 50266
We have been there 3 times. the first time we got a bit of fried onion in our gluten free fries. the second time went well. the third time we got fried dough in our gluten free fries. they seem to understand and have dedicated facilities. they were very apologetic, but it doesn't change the problem we had.
10009 Coors Blvd. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114
I'll not sure if all locations have a dedicated fryer, but this one does!!! My hubby and I shared guacamole, salsa and instead of the corn tortilla chips(they're made in large amounts in a cross contaminated fryer), they made us fresh potato chips. I had a burger on a gluten free bun and fries! I'm really happy with the staffs knowledge of Celiac disease.
14090 Worth Avenue, Woodbridge, VA 22192
I used to think this place was great. We had eaten here several times with no issues. However, the last few times I have noticed a lack of attention to detail when I try to emphasize gluten free. Last time we ate here, about a week ago, I got a serious dose of contamination. We most definitely won't be rerurnibg.
1000 Palisades Center Drive, West Nyack, New York 10994
Update 2: Went there recently for late lunch/early dinner, waited 15 minutes for someone to come to our table, food didn't come out right, we told server we had a birthday and instead of servers singing, we were told that the servers were too busy to sign. It took us 2 hours to get out of there and at this point we will not be going back. I can't give it 0 stars, but that's all they deserve. Update: they have apparently changed management and brought in new staff. We went there recently and it was much better, so I'm changing to 3 stars. If I hadn't been to other Red Robins, I would not have known just how poor this one is compared to others. In general Red Robin does a very good job with guetin free, but this one has poor service and nasty staff. We've been there a few times, but the last attempt was the last straw, I doubt highly we'll be going back. In the past, the glue tin free meal came with a regular bun(!) and had to be sent back. Another time the service was poor, but the last one was the worst. We got there at about 2pm on a weekday, not a particularly busy time. We had 7 people (2 adults, 5 kids) and were told 30(!) minutes. While we were waiting, the kids needed to use the restroom, so they went in with 1 adult. There was an empty table that could have fit all of us, but it had not been cleaned. When we asked the manager about if, he told us, in a very nasty tone, to talk to the person doing the seating. After everyone got out of the restroom, the table still had not been cleaned and we were told we would have to wait. Needless to say we did not bother and walked across the aisle and went to Tony Roma's instead. We won't be bothering with this Red Robin again.

Great experience for me and my daughter. She loves to get the grilled cheese on the gf bun and yes, their fries are made in a dedicated dryer. I asked.

No. 12 St. Michael's Rallies, Tops Pace
from press release
PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. - The Saint Michael's
College men's lacrosse team (7-5, 6-2 Northeast-10 Conference)
rallied from a fourth-quarter deficit to win at Pace, 10-7, on
Saturday afternoon. The game was played at Pleasantville High
School's artificial turf field, as heavy rains made Pace's
on-campus grass field unplayable.
Junior Paul Tortora, Jr. (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep) scored a game-high - and career-high - four goals in the win. Junior Kevin Hunt (Johnstown, N.Y./Johnstown) scored a goal and an assist, the 10th straight game he has registered at least one point, while sophomore Marty Vanzo (Westford, Vt./Essex/Univ. of Vermont) and freshman Max Zuccarini (Medfield, Mass./Medfield/Quinnipiac) also scored a goal and an assist apiece. Sophomore Pete Donnally (Madison, N.J./Morristown-Beard) handed out a pair of assists, while in net, freshmen Theo Ferguson (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem Central) and Chris Demairo (Bethpage, N.Y./Bethpage) split time in net, with Demairo stopping three shots in the first half, and Ferguson recording four second-half saves to earn the win.
For Pace (5-7, 2-6 NE-10), Kevin Kadlick and William Scioscia each scored three goals, while Matt Gebhardt tallied a goal and and a game-high four assists. Alex Cain turned aside seven shots in the loss.
The game was tied at the end of the first, second, and third quarters, as neither team led by more than one goal in the first 45 minutes of play.
Kadlick gave Pace its final lead of the game, 6-5, with a man-up goal 27 seconds into the fourth quarter, but Saint Michael's sophomore Andrew Buccellato (Glen Rock, N.Y./Don Bosco Prep) evened the score at 6-all just 1:02 later. Eleven seconds after Buccellato's game-tying goal, freshman Cooper Quenneville (Middlebury, Vt./Middlebury Union/Gould Academy) gave the Purple Knights the lead for good with an unassisted goal, and goals by Tortora, Jr., and junior Peter Hanson (Andover, Mass./Andover) pushed Saint Michael's advantage to 9-6 with 5:39 to go.
The Setters pulled to within 9-7 with 5:29 remaining, but that was the final goal for the hosts, and Tortora, Jr.'s fourth goal of the game with 1:42 to go sealed the win for the Purple Knights. The victory also surpasses Saint Michael's win total from all of last season, and clinches a home playoff game for the Purple Knights just one season after missing the postseason.
Saint Michael's is back in action on Wednesday with a 7 p.m. contest at league-rival Bentley University.

Muscular dystrophies are a diverse group of inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting. The disorders are caused by mutations, or changes, in genes. Genes are tiny pieces of inherited material (DNA) that direct the body to make certain kinds of proteins.
In this study, researchers will examine the clinical presentation of muscular dystrophy caused by abnormal glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan. Patients with dystroglycanopathies could have mutations in one of the following genes: FKRP, fukutin, POMT1, POMT2, POMGnT1 or LARGE. Symptoms range from congenital muscular dystrophy that can also involve the brain and eye, through an adult-onset limb girdle muscular dystrophy.
The study involves a clinical evaluation at the University of Iowa. The evaluation includes muscle strength and motor ability testing, lung function testing, quality of life and activity assessment, and a review of past medical history. Portions of this evaluation will be repeated on a yearly basis. Financial assistance is available for travel to Iowa City. Support is also available for genetic testing for people with a dystroglycanopathy diagnosis based on muscle or skin biopsy analysis.
Knowledge gained from this study will improve healthcare recommendations for people with dystroglycanopathies, and provide a baseline for further study, including potential treatment options.

December 12, 2012 —
PORTER TOWNSHIP, PA — The Delaware Highlands Conservancy and Beaver Run Hunting and Fishing Club on December 10 celebrated the protection of the 857-acre, natural resource-rich property in southern Pike County.
With funds from PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Pike County's Scenic Rural Character Preservation Program, and the Common Waters Fund, the Beaver Run property is now protected with a conservation easement held by the Delaware Highlands Conservancy.
Protecting the Beaver Run property has been a model of cooperative effort between the private club, the nonprofit Delaware Highlands Conservancy and county and state agencies, the Pike County Commissioners, the Scenic Rural Character Preservation Program and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
"DCNR is excited about the permanent protection of this important property," said DCNR Secretary Richard Allan. "DCNR is one among many partners who came to the table to provide the funding and do the legwork necessary to assure this 857 acres and all its natural assets are conserved."
The secretary noted "a conservation easement on the property provides for public trails and the protection of wetlands and clean water sources important to millions of people. The effective use of tax dollars through county funds and state grants like the Keystone Recreation, Park, and Conservation Fund enabled the protection of the property. The work of all the organizations involved along with the club demonstrates how this kind of public-private partnership is good for all Pennsylvanians."
The Beaver Run property, made up of healthy forests and exceptionally clean waters, is home to native brook trout, eagles, beaver, otters, and other wildlife.
The water on the property, like Bushkill Creek, is filtered by its forests and eventually reaches the Delaware River, the clean water source for millions of people in New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia.
"We thank DCNR and Pike County," affirms Conservancy Board President, Greg Belcamino, "for working together with us and the Club to protect the important natural assets of the Beaver Run property. This project represents the best in conservation. Protecting Beaver Run has benefits far beyond its borders. The property is adjacent to state forestlands, so its protection creates a contiguous block of forest great for wildlife and biodiversity, and water quality. Along with Club members who will keep their lands conserved for future generations, the whole community benefits."
The three public trails that will cross the protected property connect adjacent blocks of the Delaware State Forest. The public trails make previously difficult to reach parts of the State Forest much more easily accessible to all visitors, residents, and outdoor recreational enthusiasts visiting state forestlands. Protecting the property preserves the scenic beauty, enhancing Delaware State Forest's extensive trail system and providing great outdoor recreational opportunities for residents.
Sally Corrigan, Director of the Pike County Office Community Planning, notes that this project is an exemplary one for the Scenic Rural Character Preservation Program. "Contributing Preservation Program funds to protect the Beaver Run property benefits all Pike County residents. The creation of a contiguous forested block and public access trails that enhance both ecological and outdoor recreational benefits for Pike County residents is excellent use of the Preservation Program funds meant to assure that Pike County maintains its scenic rural character."
The Beaver Run Hunting and Fishing Club has been in existence since 1895 and has a rich tradition of conservation and stewardship, including a notable visit by Gifford Pinchot early in the twentieth-century. Club President, Jim Pastva, is proud of the Club's history and long term commitment to good stewardship. "We're excited about the permanent protection of our property," asserts Pastva, "we have always been good stewards of our land, and we're proud of the fact that we've taken this step to permanently protect all of the important natural assets here."
The ribbon cutting to announce the property's protection was held at the property and attended by representatives of the Club and all the partners who participated in the project. Trail building activities for the public trails will take place in early 2013.
The Delaware Highlands Conservancy works with landowners and communities to protect the healthy lands, clean waters, and locally sustainable economies of the Upper Delaware River region. For more information on the protection of the Beaver Run property, conservation easements, or any of the Conservancy's activities, please call 570-226-3164, 845-583-1010, or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com [1]. Visit our website at www.DelawareHighlands.org [2].
PA DCNR's mission is to conserve and sustain Pennsylvania's natural resources for present and future generations' enjoyment. Learn more at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/discoverdcnr/index.htm [3].
Pike County's Scenic Rural Character Preservation Program provides for the protection of drinking water; wildlife habitat; preservation of scenic ridges and critical open space; protection of water quality of rivers, lakes and streams; parks and recreational areas; improved county and municipal planning; and related acquisitions of real property or interests therein from willing sellers on a voluntary basis.

Woodland Weavers and Spinners Guild
August 4, 2011 —
35 years of education in the art of fiber mastery
UPPER DELAWARE REGION — Practitioners of the fiber arts have many potential friends and supportive teachers in the Upper Delaware River Valley, where a quiet but purposeful organization has been weaving its peaceful influence for 35 years.
The Woodland Weavers and Spinners Guild (WWSG) was founded in 1976 by Phyllis Barth, Nellie Burnham, Dolores Quinn and Cindy Heyn, who began gathering in one another's homes to exchange spinning and weaving knowledge, thereby establishing the group's primary purpose—to teach and to improve their own skills.
"Memories, friends, learning and good times is what WWSG has come to mean to me," said Burnham, the sole surviving founder, who continues to impart her knowledge today. Recently Burnham conducted a workshop on solving problems related to looms. A retired home economics teacher, Burnham never stopped helping others to learn and has taught weaving classes across the country as well as locally.
WWSG meets monthly in Damascus, PA (see sidebar), while study groups on weaving, spinning and knitting are conducted at members' homes. The group also has a large library of books, magazines and videos on various fiber techniques.
Show and Tell is a favorite part of the meetings, as members share their projects with others in the group. The eager, inquisitive and supportive response provides encouragement and often some helpful problem-solving.
Members are described as "warm and caring people who are as delighted at a new weaver's first warp as they are by an experienced spinner's miles of exquisitely spun yarn." Adds Burnham, "We're always open to new members as long as they're willing to learn."
Bev Nerenberg recently traveled to England to study with renowned weaver Jason Collingwood and displayed the beautiful rug she made. A self-described "fiber-holic," Nerenberg laughed, "It's a disease. It takes over your life and is contagious. We come from different backgrounds and all walks of life, but this brings us together."
The fiber arts appeal to all ages, and WWSG members range from 13-year-old Angela Waltman, who loves weaving belts and bands on her Inkle looms, to those in their 80s, some of whom even accepted the challenge of spinning fur from a wolf and weaving it into a liturgical scarf for its owner, a priest in Callicoon, NY.

Rivas was hauling approximately 140 barrels of crude oil when he was struck from behind by another 18-wheeler. Josue de Jesus Ramos was driving a Reynolds Energy Transport tanker also carrying crude oil.
Ramos, while failing to control his speed, hit Rivas' truck, rolling it on its side and blocking the northbound lanes of Highway 281. The collision caused both trucks to spill their loads of crude oil onto Highway 281.
The tanker driven by Rivas lost approximately 5,880 gallons of crude oil. The tanker operated by Ramos lost an undetermined amount of his crude oil load.
Rivas was transported by ambulance to Christus Spohn Hospital in Beeville. Ramos was taken by Air Life to University Hospital in San Antonio.
A North Ridge Express 18-wheeler carrying frozen chicken, driven by Glenn Davidson, attempted to avoid the accident when he struck a C&J Spec-Rent mobile crane truck driven by Brett Malloy.
Malloy's truck went into the bar ditch. He was able to correct his line of travel to steer safely back on the highway after approximately one mile. The truck and trailer driven by Davidson fell in the bar ditch on its side. Davidson and Malloy were both transported by ambulance to the Beeville hospital. At this time, their conditions are unknown.
The four-vehicle accident shut down the highway for seven to eight hours. The Hazmat crew was called in to clean the road and recover all spilled crude oil.

cant predict anything
does not matter
I mean realistically
we could have a roster of
Joe johnson
blah blah blah blah
im drunk
forget hughes
bite me
I know everyone just wants to dump the veterans because most of them are horrible but we should double check Larry Hughes. He is an overall good player. He can hit his shots, has range, plays defense by racking up steals, has a good awareness on the floor, and has shown a good ability to pass the ball. Don't forget he has been rebounding the ball surprisingly well.
Getting Hughes for a cheap deal next year and plugging him as a role player would be beneficial to our team. We need smart players that can play at both ends of the court and Hughes mainly creates fast brakes with his steals.
What does everyone think about signing Hughes to a cheap one year deal for next year and letting him be a main role player?
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
cant predict anything
does not matter
I mean realistically
we could have a roster of
Joe johnson
blah blah blah blah
im drunk
forget hughes
bite me
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
He's going to go where the money is at...
I don't think he's committed to the Knicks to the point where he'll take less than his worth for the sake of the team.
I just hate this whole team.
Now if I can get this smiley () to dump his Knicks banner in a trash bin...that would be hysterical!! Who's nice with the Graphics?
I like Hughes the most of our vet guards (Hughes, Duhon, N8). I He plays defense, gets people involved, he can rebound, and will score when he's "on."
Leaving Curry & Jeffries aside, these four have chances to return next year: David Lee, Larry Hughes, Al Harrington & Darko Milicic.
DAVIFD LEE as the most talent but I just don't see the Knicks retaining his services. So far this year, he's taken a big step backwards. He just doesn't really impact games when it counts and his defense is a major liability. I think the moment they drafted Jordan Hill, Lee was a goner. If nobody wants to pay him money (and he wont be getting anything close to a max deal) I could see the Knicks scooping him up for about 6-7 mil a year (depending on what shakes down in free agency)- but this is a LONG shot.
AL HARRINGTON seems like the ideal candidate, of the four, to place your bet on to be the one to return. He likes the system, is a local boy, likes Walsh, and seems willing to take less to be in the right situation. He is a solid 6th man, bringing offense off the bench. The only question is what Al wants: If he wants the most money, then he too is a goner. If he's willing to work with Walsh, I'm sure they'll find a way to slip him 4-5 mil a year for 4-5 years (or something.
LARRY HUGHES is in the same boat as AL. Having Hughes and Douglas serve as the backup guards, is a good thing for a championship caliber team. Having a savvy vet who plays defense and can score, as well as facilitate-distribute; compliments having a young, budding combo guard who can score and play defense. The problem is (unlike Harrington) will Hughes be successful as the 2nd guard coming off the bench, and possibly seeing dwindling playing time? I would welcome him back if he's accepting of his reserve role.
Darko Milicic is a work in project and gets an incomplete right now. He suffers b/c we are focused on dumping Jared Jeffries somewhere. This is taking Darko's playing time away. Unless we see something by the end of the year, I have to wonder if he has any worth?
It all comes to this: one way or another, either Darko or Jeffries will return next year. We need a backup center. Only on stays though. Of the other 3, I think we only keep one (Lee, Harrington & Hughes).
I wonder who is easier to retain? I mean, LEE will be seeking more money. SO, while he seems like the obvious choice to flee, it may come down to the fact that nobody wants to pay him. Meanwhile, a role player like Hughes and Harrington aren't seeking max deals, so some team might pay them a little extra to lure them in. In the end, we need to fill roster spots, and we'll have money to sign one of these 3.
He knows he the best defender, Hughes is only 30, but has a dozen years in league, most the players can't handle his passes (he is good). Better point guard than Duhon. Always has to play 35 minutes to find his touch, D'A pulls anyone that gets hot, Hughes 1st , Robinson 3rd quarter. Whats the story with benching Al for the first 5-7 minutes of each game, he losses 5-7 points there alone. Hughes will probably go to the Wizards, he loved it there. The coach had to play him due to injuries, he was DNP, then Hughes got them a couple wins. Today he got pissed, and was shaking his head when he got pulled.
The substitutions when they are on a run is killing the team. Robinson good have dropped a three pointer in the fourth quarter or overtime. I don't get it, sure they are not going far, but this coach is costing us wins. The Duhon and Galo love is going to far, let Duhon find his shot in practice, not 10 games over 30 minutes and not over 10 points, plus poor defense. Hughes is making 17 million this year, not all from Knicks, but he could be an excellent backup at the point, two guard or a small forward. Put in and out play for most this guys is killing the team.
At this stage, you'll have to choose only 1 of the aforementioned like you say. I'd go for Harrington I think if I had to choose, but that signing would be really circumstantial.
Lee's defense just doesn't win games. And whether or not his rebounds do is another factor that goes down to circumstance.
Knowing Harrington, I think he'll be asking for some pretty serious $ at the end of the year.
Basically, I think we'll be going the full revamp.... hardly a face to recognize from this year bar the youngsters and Curry + maybe Jefferies?
I would like to see us keep Al and hughes, But more likely that we'll see douglas, gallo, hill, curry, chandler back again.
Are you watching the same games I'm watching? The guy is selfish and is padding his stats to get his last contract. Just last night he bricked a three got the rebound and brick it again. He shots every time he gets the rock, let me give you another example. It was a 2 on 1 with Gallo, this idiot instead of giving it up he goes up for a contested layup. I could count the times he passes the ball back once he has it, I really don't get. Get Douglas on the floor and sit this loser on the bench. I can't believe you people think that we can develop Gallinari, Hill, or Douglas with Hughes, Harrington just putting shots up for the hell of it.
-Hughes is a good passer and can take over as a decent PG if Duhon is failing like always.
-Hughes has brains which everyone except Douglas does not.
-Hughes contributes more on defense than anyone else on the team.
Why does Hughes "supposedly" jack up shots?
Who else is going to shoot?
-Gallo does not know how to get open
-Harrington bricks more than anybody and is a ball hog
-Duhon is shooting 1%
-Douglas never plays
-Hill never plays
-Jeffries made 10 three's in the pre season and has not made one since.
-Nate has been ice cold.
-Chandler has been failing as a breakout SF and is the dumbest player we have, and can't make shots unless he is 10 feet from the hoop
-Landry has a decent shot but never plays
-Curry has shown signs of his old offensive post game but recently has just thrown up shots and is always trying to draw fouls that never come, resulting in turnovers.
So tell me who else is going to score on this team????
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Because right now at this moment he is your best shooting guard, or GUARD PERIOD.
I completely agree that Douglas, Hill and Gallo should shoot all the shots and get more minutes. Mike D is wasting time right now and embarrassing himself by trusting Duhon at this point.
He is still trying to showcase Jeffries and isn't it ironic how Mike D said he wants to run his entire offense around Curry when Curry has not even practiced with the team really??? Mike D is all about making a player wait until he fits into the system and now all of a sudden Curry is the main focus. He is playing these guys to trade them.
Jeffries and Curry will get max minutes because they have to be traded while the development of Hill is being tarnished in the process and not improving.
Now on the Duhon part, the only reason I can think of Duhon playing at all is that Mike D knows he made a huge mistake in making Duhon a team captain. In order to make Duhon look like a team captain and not embariss Mike D's decision making, he continues to play Duhon starters minutes.
I hate to say it, but i really think that Duhon won't be benched for Douglas until the season is completely lost and to a point where Mike D has to play Douglas or else he will here boos and chants for his resignation.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
As far as jacking up the 3 pointers, he is doing want the boss wants. Hard to believe he is is the top five in steals and hardly gets 25 minutes on average. Duhon isn't too bad on D, put is not worth the 35 plus minutes he gets every game. Douglas is not ready for prime time at all. Rest of the team is never on the court long enough at the same time to learn each others moves. Why this guy pulls the backcourt when they are winning and pulling away from the opponent, I will never know. I watch on the Dish, and announcers from other teams say it, "why did he just pull those two guards who where on a 12-2 run" and put in a rookie? It's a plane shame.

Waterloo officials say a study could remove hundreds of homes from a flood plain, saving residents money on insurance if the Federal Emergency Management Agency agrees.
Councilman Ron Welper tells the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier the study by engineering firm AECOM of Dry Run Creek could significantly reduce the 100-year flood plain. That would help more than 300 homes in a neighborhood that hasn't flooded since Waterloo's levee system was built.
The city agreed in 2011 to spend up to $49,000 to study the area after new FEMA flood insurance rate maps added the area to the flood plain.
Residents worried about higher insurance and difficulty selling homes.
Associate City Engineer Jamie Knutson notes FEMA still must review the engineering firm's study and agree to any changes.

The Smile Bunch
Do you ever sit there and wonder what happened to role-playing, workaday guys who played for your favorite team when you were growing up? For me, the ultimate example is Frank Tanana. The guy was good but he wasn't great. What he did, though, was get the job done. Most of the time.
Then he's gone and you never hear anything about him again. Sometimes they're career backups like Sal Fasano or Koy Detmer and sometimes they're guys who manage to have one amazing season or one defining game but then disappear for all time.
But does any of it compare to Ralph Macchio. This is not to say that he isn't still around in one form or another but when's the last time you noticed that Karate Kid was playing on TNT and wondered whatever happened to Ralph Macchio?
Luckily, there's an easy way to find out. Just click play.
"Oh my god, he kicked Steve!" Yep, that's what you get for sweeping the leg, Cobra-kai.

Frank Tanana…there's a name from the past. And, you're right, so is Ralph Macchio…
'Minoring In Baseball'
So all I needed to be was a degenerate? Who knew?! Molly Ringwald is a name I would probably would never have mentioned again in my lifetime. Until now.
this was the funniest funny or die episode yet! I LOVE karate kid. So much in fact that i got very angry that they made a new one. Grrrr. I still refuse to see it but i'm slowly breaking down the walls. I might give in sooner or later.
Aww ralph macchio is such a baby face😀
I love guys like that. I think those are the guys I like the most which may sound a little weird. I mean nothing wrong with superstars and hall of famers but there are players that just work diligently with what they are given. They're nice to the fans, all around good hard working people.

On the topic of twin ads, Mike Wolfsohn has posted this Adage article: In Defense of Inevitable Creative Outcomes, where he says that advertising isn't an originality contest, but a tool where one should do what's appropriate for the issue at hand. He rightly points out that input effects the outcome as well, as too many briefs are the exact same starting point, so landing on the same end-point shouldn't surprise anyone.
Too frequently ads are accused of being rip-offs of music videos or movies, without recognizing the talent that is required to identify creativity within one artistic genre and translate it successfully into another -- namely marketing.
He makes a good argument, and ties it up nicely with: "originality should be celebrated, risk should be rewarded and innovation should be admired. But so, too, should the ability to translate popular culture into effective marketing. Not when it's done illegally, surreptitiously, or dishonestly -- but when it's done humbly, artfully and insightfully"

Melo does take more total jumpshots/3 point shots then shots at at the rim. But if you break down his splits he is taking nearly 7 shots per game at the rim, which is more then any other area in the gym and he converts those at a clip of 61+% accounting for about 9 points nightly and about 1/3 of his total points.
He creates his own offense and by being the threat he is, helps create offensive opportunities for his teammates. He drives the lane in a fearless fashion, runs the open court, knocks down his jumpers, attacks the rim and can stroke a 3 pointer too. On offense there are not many players that can stack up with Melo. His heights and length give him the ability to be a beast on the block and he often gives the Highly Valued Big Man fits when guarding him.
As well to your point about him getting blocked, he gets blocked on about 1 shot per game but he's also averaging 0.7 blocks per as well over the last 10 and is a better defender then ANYONE thought coming into this season. We are seeing a re-tooling of Melo. His game is evolving, becoming more complete. I use this last 10 game stretch to point this out because before then Melo was injured. You are now seeing Melo in top form and what he can do for us at his best.
Where would we be without Tyson? well probably in the basement. I see the value in the defensive stopper and the big man game. I play the post myself so I probably value the C and PF positions more then most. But Basketball is a team sport. Where would we be without Linsanity? Where would we be without JR, Shump, Novak, and Fields and Jeffereies stepping it up? And ask yourself this... where would we be without Melo these last 5 games? Would we even have a chance in the postseason without Melo scoring 28 points a night? If you are asking me TC over Melo i'll agree that I'd rather have TC in the paint taking care of that business. But Melo is as integral to what the Knicks do as anyone else on the team.
At the end of the day the game is about putting the ball through the hoop. Melo is one of the best ever at this and that contribution should not be undervalued. Neither should his clutch factor. Hedo has made an entire NBA career off of being a 1 dimensional shooter. He gets paid millions of dollars to do that one thing. He is a terrible defender, can't create his own shot, sucks under the rim for a 6'10 guy and has little value anywhere else but camped out on the 3point line. Melo does it as good as this guy but also adds in the layups, dunks, rebounds, defense, mid range game, screening and passing that make him a complete offensive player and worth much more then Hedo turkeyglue.
And, sure, 80% is about the minimum to be considered a "good" ft shooter he's still knocking down the clutch ones though, which is what is really important.
Melo is just starting to heat up and give us these spectacular performances like last night. You can expect them to continue. You are positioned poorly on this Metro. Melo has you sealed off on his way for a slam dunk ally-oop. You're just gonna have to live with the fact that the best player on our favorite team is Melo and hope that he can bring you more of this. Melo is far from being done physically or mentally and I expect this trend to continue. Perhaps after sunday you will have more ammo to fire back, but until then, enjoy the show he's gonna put on against the wizards.

An 18-wheeler lost its load of what is known as "flowback" waste along the Karnes County highways and roads in the early morning hours of March 10.
Flowback is a water based solution that flows back to the surface during and after the completion of hydraulic fracturing. The fluid contains clays, chemical additives, dissolved metal ions and total dissolved solids (TDS). Flowback and produced water are considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of safely. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, produced waters are typically disposed of in deep wells or "non-potable coastal waters." Flowback and produced water can contain salt, industrial chemicals, hydrocarbons, and radioactive materials.
The spill affected three miles of FM 81 and six miles of FM 1144, forcing the closure of of highways and roads for two days while TxDOT road crews undertook the clean-up work.
On Point Services, L.L.C., of Falfurrias was investigated by TCEQ to determine compliance with applicable requirements for spill control and prevention.
In the report, referred to as a "notice of enforcement" addressed to Winfred Stanfield, manager of On Point Services, the investigator alleges that the company violated a section of the Texas Administrative Code by failing to immediately abate and contain and take reasonable response actions for the spill of 128 barrels of flowback fluids.
The report says the driver of the truck, William Frizzell, on the morning of March 10, filled his truck three times with flowback fluids from the Marathon Oil well site near the intersection of County Road 217 and FM 81.
Field tickets showed that the three loads were delivered to a saltwater disposal facility, however, a review of electronic disposal logs maintained by the disposal facility indicated that the third ticket was entered manually and no actual disposal activity occurred for the third load.
Frizzell told Karnes County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Robert Ebrom that he loaded 20 to 30 barrels of flowback fluids from the well site and the pressure release valve on the transport trailer was not closing completely at all times.
He said he left the well site at about 4 a.m. and traveled the route where the spill began and ended, and then continued to a truck wash on County Road 199.
A record from the Falls City Truck Wash for the wash activity reflected that the transport was empty upon arrival, indicative that a release had occurred, the report said.
"To date the RP (responsible party) has not taken any response actions towards addressing this discharge," the report continued.
The report recommends corrective action by requesting On Point Services to submit a written description along with necessary and appropriate documentation of the corrective actions taken to address the prevention of releases and the implementation of required response actions.
The company also allegedly violated Texas Administrative Code by discharging industrial waste that will cause pollution of the water in the state as a result of the spill.
Corrective action recommended in the report includes a request that the company immediately cease the discharge of industrial waste or other waste into the waters of the state and take substantial actions to abate and remediate the release. The company is further requested to undertake equipment maintenance, implement personnel training programs and adopt plans, procedures and policies to prevent other such discharge occurrences.
A third violation is alleged in the report related to failure to notify TCEQ after the spill occurred.
The report claims that the company failed to report in a timely manner the 128-barrel spill.
Corrective action recommended includes a request for the company to develop and submit written correspondence describing the required notification process for spills that will be followed by facility personnel and affirm that this process will be incorporated into the emergency response plan for the facility and personnel training.
The letter from TCEQ to the company advised them that the Legislature has granted enforcement powers to the TCEQ to carry out its mission to protect human health and the environment.
"Due to the apparent seriousness of the alleged violations, formal enforcement action has been initiated, and additional violations may be cited upon further review," the letter stated. "We encourage you to immediately begin taking actions to address the outstanding alleged violations."

Ross Ice Shelf and Climate Change Throughout the Past
UPDATE: The UN is downplaying the level they believe man has impacted the climate.
The Ross Ice Shelf, the largest ice piece of ice in the world which just so happens to be the size of France, has shrunk and enlarged throughout time according to a new study.
For those who want a fairly quick read on climate change the U.S. Senate just released the reader-friendly report entitled "Skeptic's Guide to Debunking Global Warming" for free. The title is a bit of a misnomer. The report does acknowledge climate change and hits historic aspects well (Greenland was called "green land" for a reason).
I think Harm de Blij said it best. The event is probably mostly natural but it humans still must make plans to work with it.

Thanks some useful thoughts for our upcoming study of the topic.
About "Skeptic's Guide to Debunking Global Warming"
Exxon spends millions to cast doubt on warming
Senator Inhofe—who received nearly $290,000 from oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil, for his 2002 reelection campaign
It's not surprising: his top campaign contributor is the oil and gas industry, which lavishes more money on him than all but one other U.S. Senator
This makes the Skeptic's Guide completely useless
Poppycock. Don't try to debunk a 26 year old article with 'proof' of 4 years ago.
No one can control the way Mother Nature runs her planet.
Quote: "The event is probably mostly natural but it humans still must make plans to work with it."
Look again at the National Geographic map. The very existance of cooling "blips" for major volcanic events should lead us to strongly consider that human carbon emissions can also have detectable impacts on Earth's climate. How can 5.5 ± 0.5 GtC (thousand million metric tons of carbon) per year from fossil fuel combustion and 1.6 ± 0.6 GtC per year from land-use change not register at all? (The underlying theory behind greenhouse gases is solid in terms of the radiative properties of the compounds involved.) Scientists don't have the luxury of pointing to "blips" of warming and saying that they represent a singular event in human history...the nature of our impact is must more complex and has been a gradual snowballing throughout the past several thousand years. To say that climate change doesn't exist or that it must be all natural, grossly underrepresents the human impact upon our planet.
If you can get access, I would recommend that you read "ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE: Land Use and Climate Change" by Pielke from sciencemag.com. This short 2-page perspective gives information on an almost completely ignored aspect of climate...the role of land use. With fully 1/3 to 1/2 of the planet's land surface transformed by human development (cropland, urban centers, rural development, etc.) there is no doubt that these changes have altered energy and water vapor fluxes and impacted climate. The example map in the article that shows large-scale land cover shifts for the whole of the Florida peninsula is a vivid example of these alterations. It also underscores the ever more popular idea that climate change occurs most importantly on a regional scale and that global averages are of very little real significance.
The media is certainly not all truth, and they often use inappropriate scare language and "bad facts", but that Senate report is a very sad reflection upon a portion of our government.

Tai chi and fibromyalgia in the New England Journal of Medicine: An "alternative" frame succeeds
It never seems to fail. I go away for a few days, in this case to combine fun with pleasure and pleasure with fun by giving a talk to the Chicago Skeptics and at the same time meeting my brand new (well, by this time three weeks old) nephew for the first time, and something always happens. Before I get to what happened, I just want to point out that the talk actually went pretty darned well. I was utterly shocked that it was pretty much standing room only, with perhaps 50 people there to hear me. Honestly, don't you people have anything better to do on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in August? But, seriously, the whole thing was a blast, and the assembled skeptics there didn't even let me off the hook, as at least a couple of them asked some fairly challenging questions, one of which, I must admit, I wasn't prepared for. In any case, my thanks go out to Dr. Jennifer Newport, skeptical Chicago pediatrician extraordinaire and organizer of my talk and the party at her apartment afterward. Between the two events she raised hundreds of dollars for the vaccination drive going on at DragonCon this weekend, Chicago Skeptics, the Women Thinking Free Foundation, and CFI-Chicago for inviting me and being such fantastic hosts.
Back to business. Science-based medicine (SBM) business, that is.
What happened while I was away could almost be characterized by the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) singing "Oops, I did it again." Three weeks ago, the hallowed pages of the NEJM hosted a truly execrably credulous review article about acupuncture. So bad was the article that it "merited" the incredibly rare triple beat-down from this very blog, with posts by Steve Novella, the ever-irascible Mark Crislip, and myself in rapid succession applying the clue-by-four. As I was preparing to leave for Chicago on Thursday, I happened to look at the very latest issue of the NEJM hot off the presses, and what to my wondering (and watering–it is ragweed season) eyes should appear but an article reporting a study on the use of tai chi in treating fibromyalgia. Entitled A Randomized Trial of Tai Chi for Fibromyalgia, the study comes out of the Tufts University School of Medicine and the Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Boston and was carried out by a team led by Chenchen Wang, MD, MPH. Not surprisingly, the study has gotten a lot of play in the media, for example, in this story in the L.A. Times, which is at least reasonably restrained, probably because it an AP wire story by Marilynn Marchione, who has written some excellent articles about "alternative" medicine before. Even the usually reliable GoozNews seems smitten with this study beyond what it rates, characterizing it as "rare victory for the National Institute of Health's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), who routinely comes under fire for pushing funding for these types of studies."
I'm less impressed. You'll see what I mean in a few minutes, I hope. First, however, let's look at the study itself.

By Karl Terry: Freedom Newspapers
While Portales people knew him as "Jack," the Eastern New Mexico University professor and all-around nice guy, Jack Williamson, cast a large shadow in the science fiction community.
Terms and even ideas adopted by science or Hollywood often had their roots in science fiction. Williamson coined or made popular a few of those terms himself, among them "terraforming" (transforming another planet for human use) and "prime directive" (often used on Star Trek for Starfleet's order not to interfere with primitive cultures).
In an interview with Science Fiction Weekly when he was 94, Williamson said he'd learned the hard way that claiming firsts was tricky. He said in that interview he used to say he coined the term "genetic engineering" after using it in the 1951 novel "Dragon's Island" but later found some scientist beat him by a few years.
In that interview he talked about first describing in vitro insemination in "The Girl From Mars" in 1929. Other of his works described organ banks long before the first heart transplant. In his "Seetee" stories, his was likely the first fiction about antimatter, according to the interview.
According to Rick Hauptmann of Portales, who was among Williamson's closest friends and best fans, the eventual Grand Master of science fiction was in at the beginning of the genre. Hauptmann says the pulp magazine "Amazing Stories" started only two years before Williamson's first story, "Metal Man," appeared in its pages.
"He (Williamson) was one of the most popular writers in the early pulp era," Hauptmann said. "One of the most important things about him was he was able to change his styles though."
Hauptmann says that Williamson's earliest influences were H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, who he read as a young man — but it was Hugo Gernsback's "Amazing Stories" that sent Williamson's imagination off the ranch and into the stars.
"In the magazine were stories about traveling in outer space and going from planet to planet," Hauptmann said, "and I think that's what turned Jack on."
Another early influence of Williamson's, according to Hauptmann, was Abraham Merritt — whose early 20th-century explorations into fantasy and horror weren't always well received, according to Wikipedia.com.
Hauptmann said that around 1940 Williamson started writing about current scientific topics. He said he had a thirst for knowledge of current science and kept up by reading magazines, newspapers and building contacts with the scientific community. Hauptmann said Williamson was even invited to NASA when the first fly-bys of Mars were made.
"He knew the terminology and understood the science," Hauptmann said.
Science fiction author Connie Willis, another close friend of Williamson's, said summing up his importance to the science fiction world was difficult because of his greatness.
"It's like impossible to measure what he meant to the science fiction community," Willis said. "He was one of the founders and forefathers of science fiction."She said besides his direct contributions in the way of works, he was a major influence on many of the biggest names in science fiction. She said both Carl Sagan and Issac Asimov have noted Williamson as a large influence in their lives and writing.
Willis said she met Williamson at her first science fiction convention.
"He was so kind to me, even though I was unpublished and nobody," she said.
Willis says she has attended Williamson's lectureships 10 times and sometimes served as moderator. She is expected to speak about Williamson's science fiction career during a memorial service for him at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Campus Union Ballroom at ENMU. Hauptmann says that among what are regarded as Williamson's most important works are the "Legion of Space" sequence of novels and "Legion of Time" novel published in the 1930s — one of the first works of fiction to talk about time travel and people coming back in time to change things in their favor.
Also included in his list of important works was the short story "With Folded Hands" about robots created to protect man that sheltered man so much it took joy and adventure out of life. He reworked the story and came up with the "Humanoids" series.
Hauptmann, who collects science fiction writing of Williamson and others, wrote what is regarded as the most extensive and complete bibliography of Williamson's work, completing it in 1998 after nearly five years. He says at the top of his list is Williamson's "Darker Than You Think,"a scientific werewolf novel.
Hauptmann moved to the area in 1987 and started working at Southwest Canners. He discovered Williamson lived and worked here and conspired to meet him.
Hauptmann sent him a letter suggesting they get together for dinner, and Williamson replied by asking him over for drinks before that dinner. From that meeting grew a close relationship that included a monthly dinner club, Rotary meetings and travels to science fiction conventions.
Hauptmann says Williamson was a genuinely nice person with never a bad thing to say about anyone.

You ladies actually made me tear up. No one really understands but you. Even DH doesn't fully understand.
No, I'm totally NOT ready. Is anyone ever really ready for a baby? I learned that the hard way the first time.

No i dont even know why I ask you..people used to ask me that and also ask if Thomas was ready, no way did he understand what was going to happen or really even us, kwim? I was ready to not be pregnant but not ready to have 2. Its taken a long time to get to our new normal. Started feeling that way around 6 months pp, feeling even more "normal" now at nearly 9months pp....: what kind of birth are you planning?
We've decided on a hospital water birth, midwife-assisted. The hospital has two water birthing suites. With my joint pain I have really been eased by the swimming pool in the past month. I'm thinking that would really help me.

will little d be there or at home? you guys are having a girl right? does she have a name? ( you have probably already stated all of these things and i missed it!) sorry...
D will most likely be there, but not in the room for the whole thing. I'm really playing it by ear right now. I went to the spa for 1.5 hours on Sunday and he asked for me the whole time, and he was with DH. So I don't know. I'm hoping it happens during the day and not at night. He needs me most at night I think. He is more distractable during the day, and if my Mom is here, he will be fine playing with her.
We are having a girl. We think we've settled on the name Lucy Jane. Daniel seems to KNOW that is her name, so why switch it up on him. I got video of him tonight showing off the baby and telling her name. I will post it soon.

Mitchell Dale Stehling was vacationing with his wife and in-laws when he went hiking alone Sunday afternoon.
Park spokeswoman Betty Lieurance said Tuesday about 50 people on horseback, on foot and in a helicopter are searching canyons and trails for Stehling.
Lieurance said Stehling might have taken a trail that leads to petroglyphs - drawings that were painted or carved into the walls by ancestral residents.

text: I am feeling like pumping is so much work! Is that the case for other people too? I am connected to the pump for about a half hour and I only get between 2-3 ounces... which is fine, I suppose... but it's not like I can just sit here and let the pump do the work. I have to constantly be massaging/compressing and switching between cycles on the pump. Is that how it is for others too? It would be so nice if the milk would just flow out by itself, lol!

You've probably noticed by now your net pay has gone down as you received your first paychecks of 2013.
That's because a two-year payroll tax holiday expired on Dec. 31,and was not renewed as part of the fiscal cliff deal.
Every worker will see a 2 percent FICA tax increase now that the rate has reverted from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent. The increase in the FICA tax, which is deducted from workers' paychecks, will cause take-home pay to decrease by $600 per year for workers with an annual income of $30,000. Workers with an annual income of $50,000 will bring home $1,000 less per year, while workers with an annual income of $100,000 will bring home $2,000 less per year.
"While two percent may sound like a modest increase, the toll it takes on discretionary spending is much greater," said Barry Habib, chief market strategist at Residential Finance Corp.
Consider a couple, each of whom earns $45,000 per year. They will likely pay $26,000 in taxes, and their living expenses may be in the range of $46,000 a year. That leaves a couple earning $90,000 in combined income with $18,000 in discretionary spending.
A 2 percent tax hike resulting in $1,800 less per year will feel more like a 10 percent reduction, as they're losing 10 percent of their discretionary income, Habib said in a press release.

It's dinner time at the pigeon house in Waikiki.
"I'm just continuing what my mother started years ago, and she loved the birds so I kinda take care of them," said Waikiki resident Monica Blum.
Waikiki residents been taking care of these wild birds for decades by putting out feed each evening.
Up to 40 pounds of food for the hundreds who now fly in for the feast.
"There didn't used to be this many," said Blum.
This flurry of feathers and feasting has even become an attraction for some in Waikiki.
"All the tourists love it, I think these birds have been all over the world by now," said Blum. "Nobody complains about them. Most people like it"
In other parts of the island, feeding of feral birds has become a problem. So much so that a bill was passed and signed into law allowing neighbors to alert the Department of Health to all those bird droppings and odors created from feedings.
But putting an end to the flocks of feasting fowl may be difficult. Vector control workers normally focus on rats or mosquitoes, which have the potential to transmit disease.
"As much of a nuisance bird dropping are, they are not associated with transmission of disease with humans. It doesn't cause illness, so it is not going to be the highest priority for the Department of Health to respond to," said Department of Health Deputy Director Gary Gill.
There are also only a few of those vector control workers, so the department plans instead to respond to complaints from afar.
"Sending letters and phone calls, like we do now. But the bill doesn't give us any additional authority to take enforcement action than we have now," said Gill.
The new bill also doesn't spell out specific fines or punishments for those who break the law. The bird bill just leaves things up in the air when it comes to how it will be enforced.
