I've rarely seen a Rohn foldover that wasn't damaged at some point. I keep reading about the "advantages" of tilting a tower over for rotator installation, etc. (including the Hazer and other methods of bringing the antenna system closer to the ground). If everything is installed correctly the first time, there's no reason that anything would have to be done for years. The first failure mode is typically the rotator so you plan on a rotator swap every 8-10 years or so. IMO the increase in mechanical complexity and potential hazards introduced (including removing the guy wires for the Hazer - shudder!) do not justify the perceived access to the top of the tower. YMMV. Cheers, Steve K7LXC TOWER TECH - Professional tower services for commercial and amateur

Liberty Park teaches children chronological timeline, context of Biblecomment (0)
July 25, 2013
By Neisha Fuson and Grace Thornton
Do you remember the significance of the 12 tribes of Israel? What about the promises given to Moses and his descendants? And what about the prophecies of Christ's coming found throughout the Old Testament?
They are all part of one big story that points to Jesus, and Russell Murer and Susan Compton say it's vital to understand the Bible that way.
That's why, when they found that type of cohesiveness lacking in the children's Sunday School curriculum at Liberty Park Baptist Church, Vestavia Hills, they decided to do something different.
"The curriculum we used bounced around a lot," said Murer, who noticed the children knew the stories of the Bible but didn't understand "how the Bible actually works."
Compton also saw similarities between current curriculum and curriculum used when she was in Sunday School nearly 40 years ago.
As they did back then, now "we talk about Jesus's birth at Christmas and His death at Easter, as we should, but otherwise we [teach] Noah one week and Moses the next and Elisha the next," Compton said. "[The students] have no context of when all this happened and how it all fits together."
That realization prompted Murer and Compton to begin teaching the Bible in order, and now the two co-lead a chronological third- and fourth-grade Sunday School class.
Along with using "The Gospel Project for Kids," a three-year chronological plan of study produced by LifeWay Christian Resources, the co-teachers wanted to use a timeline in their classroom as a visual reminder of the figures, places and events of the Bible. After an unsuccessful search for a thorough and interesting timeline, Compton said, "We just made our own."
Every Sunday, Compton begins the lesson with a time of review. Murer then teaches the next story in the chronological study and another volunteer, Julia Bratton, helps the children create a craft or piece of artwork to add to the timeline on the walls of the classroom.
"[The kids] will staple their own work on the wall … that serves as a reminder of what happened in each book of the Bible," Murer said. "By the end of the year the wall is very full."
Nate French, associate pastor at the Birmingham Baptist Association church, said the class is "well attended."
"Susan and Russell and Julia are very prepared and (teach a lesson that is) very well thought out," said French, who thinks "The Gospel Project for Kids" has been vital because it "allows students to study every story from the Old Testament to the New Testament not only in chronological order but in the context of the gospel message."
And Compton sees a clear difference in what the students remember now as opposed to a few years ago.
"It's amazing how much [the timeline] helps them remember," she said. "It gives them something to spark their memory of what we've been talking about."
Murer agreed and said the students have "an understanding of where their religion came from and why." The chronological study, he said, has given the Bible "a context and more of an authenticity."
"It's more than just a story," he said.
And it's more than just for children — French said the church has used the chronological method in adult classes, too.
It's effective for any age, said Steve Evans, a specialist in oral communication who has written chronological Bible storying curriculum for the International Mission Board and other organizations.
He noted that research shows a majority of high school and college graduates say they will never pick up another book in their life, but all adults enjoy hearing stories, especially if they continue to build on each other toward a climax.
"Chronological Bible storying in evangelism, Sunday School, home and student Bible studies is proving very effective," he said. "When God's Word is presented chronologically, people begin to see the movement of God in history, and the pieces fall together and make sense for them."
And from a teacher's perspective, it's a method that's fun, enjoyable and memorable, he said.
Stories "are easy to learn and easy to reproduce," Evans said. "This isn't about head knowledge — it's about the language of the heart. Stories speak from the heart, and they speak to the heart."

Penny stock investors have become increasingly interested in shares of ArQule, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARQL) because the stock price moved 4.11%, hitting a price of $1.52 after a recent trading session.
A big advantage of investing in small-cap stocks is that there is an opportunity to beat the institutional investors. Mutual funds have restrictions limiting their power to buy up large portions of any one company's outstanding shares. The stock is 13.10% away from the 20-Day Simple Moving Average. Their 50-Day Simple Moving Average is a difference of 2.03% from current levels. Further back, their 200-Day Simple Moving Average is -5.69% difference from today's price. As we stand today, the stock is -16.48% from its 50-Day High and 26.67% from the 50-day low.

ArQule, Inc.'s stock has performed at -32.72%. Breaking that down further, it has performed 4.29% for the week, 2.10% for the month, 0.69% over the last quarter, -17.05% for the past half-year and -37.07% for this last year.
As with any stock market transaction, the first step in investing in penny stocks is to get money. One of the most significant traits of penny stocks is that they are extremely volatile and move very quickly. Penny stocks are primarily stocks of small cap companies that can be vulnerable to stock market sentiments and industry changes.
Though penny stocks are generally considered to be risky, a trader can make a huge amount of money with them in a short period of time, as opposed to bigger, so-called "blue chip" stocks and mutual funds, which require a long-term approach.
Needless to say, penny stock investing is not for the weak of heart, and only "play money" or non-essential disposible income should be invested in this kind of market.
In no way are penny stocks considered to be conservative investments and people who play them must be willing and able to take risks with their investment money. Penny stock investers must be prepared to lose their entire investment sometimes. Penny stocks move fast in both directions, including massive upticks or downticks in a matter of hours or less.

Potential penny stock investors must educate themselves first to gain knowledge of the market. They must also conduct intense research into any company they might want to put their money into. An education can start by subscribing to a penny stock newsletter which provides informative penny stock suggestions.
Knowing as much as you can about the penny stock world is extremely important if you want to make money in trading.
It is highly recommended that you wade in toes first with a small amount of money to lessen the risk should you incur a loss.

|Koosharem Reservoir
Koosharem Reservoir
Koosharem Reservoir is a small shallow lake formed by damming Otter Creek above Grass Valley. The reservoir shoreline is privately/publicly owned and administered by the BLM and the Koosharem Irrigation Company with public access. The water level fluctuates seasonally and has a Surface Area of 310 acres. The reservoirsits at 6,995 ft. and has a max depth of 20 ft.
Fishing at Koosharem can be a year round activity. Past surveys found that cutthroat and rainbow trout are showing better growth and condition than in past years. Tackle should imitate chubs: rapalas, lures, large streamers. Cut bait or frozen minnows are also worth a try.
This reservoir not only has good fishing, but also offers access to the Paiute ATV trail. OHVers can explore almost 3000 miles of famous scenic trail that traverse mountain tops and rugged canyons.
Facilities at the reservoir are limited to day use only, but there are ADA accessible toilets, picnic tables, and a picnic grill available.
Koosharem Reservoir is directly accessible from UT Highway 24 between Salina and Loa near milepost 38 and just south of the Water Clover RV Park. The reservoir is 2 miles north of the U-24/U-62 junction near Koosharem and 13 miles south of the U-119/U-24 junction.

Last week I asked you to come up with some new flavors for CLIF Bars, in celebration of their new slate of special seasonal flavors – and you definitely delivered.
The entries ran the gamut from sweet to savory, healthy to decadent – and from two hikers after my own heart, a few alcohol related entries. All of them made me hungry – but three of them stood out as flavors I would KILL to have in my backpack after a long day of hiking through the woods.
Randy Lloyd got the first entry in and went straight for the familiar campers' delight – the humble Campfire S'More. Graham, chocolate, and marshmallow are all flavors CLIF could easily accomplish – and if they could throw in a little bit of that smoke flavor for good measure, I'd definitely fill up my shopping cart.
My second-favorite flavor was submitted by TJ Knight – Salted Caramel. Yes, I know salted caramel is the "in" flavor right now, but that's because it's crazy good! The combination of salty and sweet is good on just about everything I've tried it on – and I think a good CLIF Bar wouldn't be an exception.
And finally, my favorite flavor comes to us from Kristan, who suggested teaming up with the Girl Scouts of America for a Samoa (or Caramel Delite, depending on where you live) flavored bar. It's a great organization to support AND the best flavor of cookie they offer (quiet, Thin Mints enthusiasts). Not only that, but she also offered a recipe:
I'd really like to see them create a vegan, refined-sugar free adaptation of Samoas (aka Caramel DeLites). I'd create a dark, fudgy chocolate base (made of dates, fair-trade dark cocoa powder, cashew butter, and possibly brown rice syrup or agave nectar to sweeten things) for the bar. On top, I'd sprinkle it with flakes of crunchy toasted coconut, bits of cacao nibs (for more crunch, and the bittersweet taste will add depth to the chocolate), and ground cashews. Finally, I'd drizzle the thing with a bit of silky-smooth dark chocolate.
Sounds delicious.
Thanks again to everyone who entered and congratulations to the winners! You should be getting more info on your CLIF Bar prize packs via email shortly.

1. The effective date of the layoff action; and
2. The reason for the layoff.
(c) The appointing authority shall be responsible for keeping records of those employees receiving the layoff notice.
(d) A layoff shall not take place more than 120 days after service of the notice unless an extension of time is granted by the Commissioner for good cause. If a layoff has not taken place within 120 days of service of the notice, and no extension has been granted, new notices must be served at least 45 days prior to the effective date of the layoff.
(e) Layoff rights and related seniority determinations (see N.J.A.C. 4A:8-2) shall be based upon the scheduled effective date of a layoff. These determinations shall remain applicable even if the effective date of the layoff is extended. However, when the scheduled effective date is extended, the appointing authority shall notify the Department of Personnel of employees who successfully complete their working test periods prior to displacement. The Department of Personnel shall then redetermine only the special reemployment rights to reflect the newly attained permanent status.
(f) Following determination of layoff rights by the Department of Personnel, permanent and probationary employees affected by a layoff action shall be served with a final written notice of their status, including a statement of appeal rights.
1. Employees notified of their separation from service due to layoff shall be informed of vacancies in other State departments or agencies, to which an employee, if qualified and if rated Commendable or above in the most recent final PAR rating (or equivalent), shall have a right to accept an appointment in lieu of separation. Should an employee accept an appointment to such a vacancy in lieu of separation, the employee shall forfeit any special reemployment rights that he or she would have had.

HTC exec: we didn't have much time with ICS when making Sense 4, but our skin is still better
HTC's Drew Bamford is a tardy-time defender of the Sense UI, end in a fresh interview he's switched management and rushed headlong at the rivalry. He told Laptop that Sense 4 beats original Android 4 (as seen on the GNex) forward a number of fronts, possessing a greater quantity inviting look, greater personalization of the lockscreen and wallpaper, more faster camera performance. Of course, he would speak that, but having spent many assuaging evenings with both the One S and the One X we're inclined to agree that the latest rendition of the skin is lighter-footed and, positively, pretty nice. What's perhaps else revealing is Bamford's statement that HTC's software guys had "not a portion of time" with ICS before they released Sense 4, and had to build key components in isolation from the new OS. This could explain why HTC was forced to see sense (ahem) and tenor down its custom layer. More broadly, allowing that manufacturers are struggling to keep their handset launch schedules in sync with Google's in-abode development, it's no wonder that Android skins have the appearance so unsympathetic to the green robot's consistent with nature complexion.

Hi Everyone,
One of my breasts has that annoying, stinging/burning pain after breastfeeding. I bf my son the first two weeks of his life, then stopped (exclusively pumped) due to mastitis, and now I am trying again to bf for all feedings.
He feeds well on both sides but this pain on my right nipple that goes into my breast is so difficult. He seems to be latched great, what am I doing wrong? Is this pain from nerve damage from the beginning maybe? It is white a little bit in the middle of the nipple where there is some scabbing that is healing from two months ago. Is the nipple just not suited for breastfeeding? It is slighly inverted, I notice after a feeding or pumping that the nipple goes inside out and I have to pull it out straight....
Any help deeply appreciated...I have written many times on here due to the fact that I only have a few minutes to get all my thoughts out.
Thanks Karen

I caught up with Frankie Edgar after his hard fought decision loss to Gray Maynard at UFC Fight Night 13 to discuss some issues that arose during the fight as well as looking at what's next for Edgar in the lightweight division.
Adam Morgan: Are you back in the gym already after that last fight or are you taking some time off?
Frankie Edgar: You know, I've worked out a couple times already. I try to get back to it pretty fast. I'm getting married here on Saturday so I have been taking a little time off.
Adam Morgan: Oh, you're getting married on Saturday?
Frankie Edgar: Yeah, I'm getting married tomorrow so things have been kind of hectic.
Adam Morgan: Well, congratulations, sir.
Frankie Edgar: Thanks, man.
Adam Morgan: Getting into the fight itself, it seemed like a lot of guys at UFN 13 were visibly gassed during their fights. I asked you last time if you felt that the altitude would have any effect on the bout, you said no. Now having fought a hard fight, a full three rounds in that climate, would you say it had any effect on the fight at all?
Frankie Edgar: No, I really can't say that it did. I went out there and I worked out before. I got a bunch of rounds in and felt fine. I felt fine going into the fight, so I don't know. It just kind of happened real fast. I can't say if I was completely gassed or not.
Adam Morgan: In the post fight interview, Maynard suggested that he won the fight because he was "just bigger." Would you say that's true, that his size presented the biggest problem of all?
Frankie Edgar: No, I just don't think I fought my best fight, you know? He had a great gameplan and I'm sure his size, you know, he was bigger, that was obvious but I don't know if that was the whole reason. I'm sure it had something to do with him being able to maybe get some takedowns and stuff like that. But I still don't think I fought my best fight.
Adam Morgan: Was there anything about Gray Maynard or his game that surprised you at all?
Frankie Edgar: His game was a lot more cleaned up than I expected. Both of his fights he would come out fast paced and he kind of took his time so that surprised me a little bit. Otherwise I was ready for what he was gonna do.
Adam Morgan: Yeah, it looked like his boxing was cleaned up quite a bit and that his hands were improved. Did that surprise you at all?
Frankie Edgar: Yeah, I knew he was always willing to throw his hands but like I said, this time it was much more cleaner, straighter punches, things like that.
Adam Morgan: What do you feel was the biggest thing you took from that fight so far?
Frankie Edgar: I just didn't focus I think. I lost focus somewhere during this fight and I really wasn't listening to my corner as much as I should have. I just gotta make sure I stay focused throughout the whole fight, that's the biggest thing. And some technical stuff that I think I could improve on as well.
Adam Morgan: What was your corner telling you to do?
Frankie Edgar: I really wasn't throwing punches. When I was getting some combos off I kind of would back up when maybe I should have been throwing a little more. Should have been moving a little more on my feet instead of giving him such a good target for takedowns.
Adam Morgan: It seemed like after the first two rounds it was a very close fight and could have gone either way at that point. Did you feel a sense of urgency going into the third round knowing that the fight was on the line in that round?
Frankie Edgar: Yeah, I definitely did. He got a couple of takedowns and it was pretty frustrating. I had a hard time getting up on him. It was there for me, he just executed his gameplan well and fought a good fight.
Adam Morgan: Would you like a rematch against Maynard?
Frankie Edgar: Absolutely man. I don't wanna be cheesy and say I want it right away. I'll go and get some fights in but you always wane beat the guy that beat you up. I think that's something I would definitely like to do in the future.
Adam Morgan: There have been some people talking about 145 lbs. being a more natural weight for you after this fight and feel that you might be better off served in the featherweight division in Zuffa's other company, World Extreme Cagefighting. Do you have anything to say in response?
Frankie Edgar: I ain't going anywhere, I guess that's my response. I'm staying at 155 lbs.
Adam Morgan: Okay, so it's still your plan to remain at lightweight and still try to contend for a title there?
Frankie Edgar: Absolutely, absolutely.
Adam Morgan: Would you be open to dropping to 145 lbs. if Zuffa asked you to?
Frankie Edgar: I don't know, it's something I'd have to really think about. It's an option, I definitely can make the weight, but I'd rather try to put some weight on and stay where I'm at. I like fighting in the UFC, you know?
Adam Morgan: So you are going to try to put some weight on?
Frankie Edgar: Yeah, I think that's something I can improve on. You always try to improve on everything whether it be your boxing, your wrestling, jiu jitsu. I just think another aspect would be strength and size so that's something I'm gonna improve on just like I want to improve on everything else.
Adam Morgan: Has the UFC approached you about what's next?
Frankie Edgar: No. I don't know, I'm just gonna try to shoot for something like summertime I'd like to fight again so we'll see.

Reflective Insulations and Radiant Barriers

Radiant Barriers
Air Space Requirements Per User / Per Application
(Click on the pdf below to find the Air Space Requirement for your application.)
DIY Air Space Requirements (Revised 1011).pdf
General Questions:
Reflectix is the Industry Leader! We manufacture the highest quality, most extensively-tested, readily-available, reflective-based insulations and radiant barriers in the world! With Reflectix® products, there is no middleman. We are the manufacturer and we operate with an ISO 9001:2008 certified management system. Our testing and validation requirements are second to none. Distribution of our products is worldwide through Do-It-Yourself Retailers, Contractor Sales Groups and Industrial/Commercial Building Product Suppliers.
Ease of installation and diversity of applications are two major advantages. Reflectix® Insulations and Radiant Barriers are very easy to handle and install. All that is required are simple hand tools and access to the installation area. Reflectix® products are some of the most diverse, energy conserving building materials available, with over forty verified applications for residences, industrial/commercial buildings and agricultural structures.
These are 3 ways that heat moves from warm regions to cool regions:
Conduction: Heat flow through a material
Convection: Heat flow transferred by the movement of air
Radiation: Electromagnetic transfer of energy through space
Both products contain the same metalized aluminum and can be utilized as reflective insulations or as radiant barriers. The key difference is in the structure. The Reflective/Bubble products have strength and substance (from the bubble) that are ideal for a wide variety (40+) of applications (Residential and Industrial/Commercial). The Reflective/Woven Fabric/Reflective Radiant Barrier product is designed primarily for residential attic applications as a radiant barrier.
Our tape is used to join the ends of the Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble Insulation products. It ensures a continuous reflective surface, and prevents air leakage that can result in condensation.
Reflectix® Reflective Insulation, Radiant Barrier and Foil Tape can be installed in environments with a range of -60 degrees to 180 degrees F.
Reflective Insulations:
Reflectivity is a material characteristic that is quantified as a percentage of radiant energy that a material will reflect.
Example: The reflectivity of the metalized aluminum in Reflectix® products is very high (94% +). This makes for very efficient performing reflective insulation assemblies (quantified in R-values).
A reflective insulation is a material (or assembly) that reduces the rate of radiant heat transfer across air spaces by use of one or more highly reflective surfaces. This rate of heat transfer can be quantified for a specific application by an R-value.
For either a reflective insulation or a radiant barrier, an air space of a minimum thickness is required on the reflective side of the product. (Most Reflectix® products are reflective (shiny) on both sides.) The reflective insulation benefit is derived from the interaction of the highly reflective surface with the air space. If the reflective surface is in contact with another building material, it becomes a conductor (transmitting the energy by conduction). An air space may be specified on one or both sides of the product (always on a reflective side). Enclosed air spaces, when instructed, are required to provide the stated R-value.
In the same (primary) way fiberglass or other mass insulations provide benefit, reflective insulation reduces conductive heat transfer. When a highly-reflective material (such as our product) is installed in a building assemblage, in conjunction with an air space, it provides a quantifiable R-value level of benefit.
An R-value is an assigned number derived from a specific testing procedure (or calculation) to determine a materials (or building assemblage) resistance to conductive heat transfer. The higher the R-value, the more resistant a material (or building assemblage) is to conductive heat transfer. Reflectix® can provide verification for all R-values stated for all products and applications.
All materials have a conductive heat transfer. Some are very high and some are very low. Materials that are low (or resistant) to heat flow have higher R-values.
Example: If a heat lamp is positioned shining on a 0.5 (width) panel of plywood (R-0.62), within a very short time, the opposite side of the panel will become hot to the touch (the wood has transferred the heat from one side to the other). -- Position the same heat lamp an equal distance from a batt of fiberglass (R-19). It will take dramatically longer to detect any increase in temperature on the opposite side of the batt (if at all). The difference in R-values indicates which material has the best resistance to conductive heat transfer.
R-values for reflective insulations are dependent on two (primary) criteria:
1. Heat flow direction
2. And, the amount of air space in a closed cavity on the reflective side of the product in a building assemblage
This is the reason our product has different R-values for different applications (varying amount of air space and heat flow directions).
These terms are related to heat flow directions. They are a part of the criteria utilized in R-value testing. For example, when testing a floor assemblage, heat flow down is tested. When testing for a wall system, heat flow horizontal is tested (same for all conductive heat transfer insulations).
Calculated R-values consist of three factors (individual resistances added to get the total resistance):
1. Interior air film (when present)
2. Substrate R-value
3. Enclosed air space R-value (on one or both reflective sides of the product)
Reflective Side of Product:
R-4.55 Down
R-1.32 Up
R-1.70 Horizontal
White Side of Product:
R-0.92 Down
R-0.61 Up
R-0.68 Horizontal
Air space requirements (on one or both reflective sides of the product) are specified in the installation instructions based on the building components of the application (which create the air space required within the assembly). Also, the product labels and the website (please refer to the pdfs at the top of this page) contain additional specifications on enclosed air space requirements.
The R-value for fiberglass mass insulations originates in the density, thickness and the physical composition of the material.
Example: A 3.5 thick batt of fiberglass can be designed to have an R-value of 11. It can also be manufactured to an R-value of 13 by increasing the density of the fiberglass (same width of 3.5).
One component that affects the R-value of a specific product (or assembly) is internal convection. The primary reason that fiberglass does not produce different R-values when tested up or down, is that fiberglass (batts) do not exhibit internal convection. Where within a reflective insulated assembly, the convective component influences the amount of heat transferred based on direction (up or down).
With multiple layers of product and airspaces between each layer, enhanced performance will be gained. If the product is simply doubled (with no air space between the layers), a very minimal benefit is obtained (R-1.1 (per layer) for the Reflective/Double Bubble product).
Spacers are used to provide an air space where one is not present.
No Air Space = No Reflective Insulation Benefit
(An R-1.1 is provided from the product itself for the Reflective/Double Bubble material.)
There are several. Here are some examples:
Reflectix® Reflective/Double Bubble Insulation cut into 2 strips
1x 2 Furring Strips
Thermal Breaks (a building product similar to furring strips)
Reflectix® Duct Spacers
Reflectix® has a Class A/Class 1 Fire Rating on our Reflective/Bubble Insulation. It also meets all fire and smoke safety requirements of federal, state and local building codes (Satisfies UL 723, NFPA 255 and UBC 42-1).
Radiant Barriers:
An example of this would be the hot sensation you feel on your skin when walking from shade into direct sunlight.
Emissivity is a material characteristic that is quantified as a percentage of radiant energy that a material transmits.
Example: The emissivity of the metalized aluminum in Reflectix® products is very low (5%). This quality makes for excellent radiant barriers.
Radiant barrier is a material that is a poor re-transmitter of infrared waves (radiant energy). By definition, this re-transmission characteristic (emissivity) must be at or below 10%. The emissivity of Reflectix® products is approximately 5%. Therefore, when a radiant barrier is installed in a residential attic, it blocks 95% of the radiant energy that is being radiated by the hot roofing materials. This equates to a cooler attic, resulting in a house that requires less air conditioning usage to maintain comfortable inside temperatures.
Example: Plywood has a very high emittance (82%). This is the reason attics are so hot during the day. The shingles are heated by the sun and (by conduction) the heat is transferred to the plywood decking which in turn emits (radiates) 82% of this energy to the interior of the attic.
Low emissivity sheeting (as in our Reflective/Woven Fabric Radiant Barrier) has a very low emittance (5%). This is the reason when a low emittance sheet is installed below a roof (plywood decking) in an attic that such a substantial reduction in radiant energy occurs.
For either a reflective insulation or a radiant barrier, an air space is required on the reflective side of the product. (Most Reflectix® products are reflective (shiny) on both sides.) The radiant barrier's benefit is derived from the interaction of the low emittance surface with an air space. An air space must exist on a minimum of one side of the product (always on the reflective side (residential attic - preferably oriented facing down)). Radiant barriers by definition do not require an enclosed air space to provide benefit. This application (radiant barrier) is typically installed in a ventilated attic.
The product has a very low re-transmission rate (emissivity) of radiant energy. It blocks 95% of the radiant energy that it encounters and this translates to a significant reduction in attic surface temperatures. A cooler attic results in a cooler house requiring less air conditioning usage.
A savings of up to 10% off your air conditioning usage are typical. This can be a larger number if there are ducts mounted in your attic space.
No. R-values describe the rate at which energy is transferred through a material or assembly. Radiant barriers provide benefit by dramatically reducing radiant heat transfer which is just as significant but not related to an R-value type performance.
No, absolutely not. There has been significant testing on this issue and it has been proven that a radiant barrier installed in a residential attic will have not have any detrimental effect on the shingles.
No, ventilation is not required, but it is extremely helpful when addressing convective heat transfer. If an attic system has a mass insulation (such as fiberglass), a radiant barrier and a ridge vent, it has addressed three types of heat flow; conductive, convective and radiant within that system.
Dust only comes into play when the product is installed in blanket fashion on the floor of the attic. Dust should be removed periodically for the product to maintain its effectiveness. Installations with the product on the roof deck or underside of the rafter require no maintenance.
Reflectix® has a Class A/Class 1 Fire Rating on the Reflective/Woven Fabric/Reflective Radiant Barrier meeting all fire and smoke safety requirements of federal, state and local building codes. (Satisfies UL 723, NFPA 255 and UBC 42-1.)

text: This native perennial plant is about 4-8" tall, producing from its rootstock both basal leaves and fertile shoots with cauline leaves. The basal leaves are separate from the fertile shoots; they help to store energy for next year's fertile shoots. A fertile shoot consists of a single flowering stalk with a whorl of 3 leaves. Each leaf is up to 3" long and across, but palmately cleft into 3-5 narrow lobes with dentate teeth along the margins. The basal leaves have a similar appearance to the cauline leaves; both types of leaves are largely hairless. The central stalk is glabrous or slightly pubescent and unbranched. It terminates into a cyme or short raceme of white flowers. This inflorescence is rather floppy; the flowers open up and become more erect in the presence of sunshine on warm spring days. Each flower is about ½" across when fully open, consisting of 4 white petals, 4 green or purplish green sepals, several stamens with conspicuous yellow anthers, and a single pistil. The petals are lanceolate-oblong and sometimes tinted with pink or light purple. The sepals are oblong and shorter than the petals. The slender pedicels are at least as long as the flowers. The blooming period occurs during mid-spring and lasts about 2 weeks. The flowers are quite fragrant. Each flower is replaced by an elongated seedpod that has a short beak (i.e., a silique); this seedpod is held more or less erect. The seeds are arranged in a single row within the seedpods; they are oval-shaped and somewhat flattened. The root system produces fleshy rhizomes that are jointed and knobby; they are parallel to the surface of the ground and fairly shallow. In addition to these rhizomes and their secondary roots, the root system produces small fleshy tubers. This plant often forms vegetative colonies from its spreading rhizomes; it also reproduces by seed.

|Good interview, but sorry Michael Fairman, DR asks the better questions. I have to swallow more "she really loves Daniel" junk, but I'm getting used to that, and I still don't buy it.
|Sep 1 2011, 02:21 PM Post #3
Definitely DR was the better read, the better interviewer, with the more intelligent questions.
As I wrote in the other post, I get the feeling that Matt has no idea of Dan's true nature. Fairman did the same stuff with the blind pimping of Dan's qualities. I would like to know Matt's take on Dan's past behavior.
|Sep 1 2011, 02:23 PM Post #4
I don't think Matt has any idea what kind of character Dan is. He's told "You should play this like Dan is a great guy." so that's what he does.
He gives great answers though. He knows what people want to see.
|Sep 1 2011, 02:27 PM Post #5
DR definately scored over Fairman on this one. Better questions and all.
Yeah, she loves Dan? YUCK... OKAY.....
|Sep 1 2011, 09:41 PM Post #6
|oh yeah DR Definielty had the much better interview... both questions and answers. I felt like Matt was tap dancing around the questions in this interview and didn't even really answer the question asked in many of them. Whereas in the DR interview, he seemed to be asked more direct questions that he could give much more direct straightforward answers to.
|Sep 2 2011, 01:08 AM Post #7
|Frankly, I wonder how much Jennifer loves Daniel. She likes him a lot, but we saw yesterday after they slept together, she got up, went to the window, and looked sad. Higley may have been writing it more than Jen loves Daniel, but I think the new writers may beg to differ.

|Sep 2 2011, 02:02 AM Post #8
|I hope Jack gets to interact with characters besides Jennifer, Daniel and Abbey, because I'd LOVE to see him and EJ bouncing smart remarks off of each other. Nicole, too. That would be lots of fun. :D
|Sep 2 2011, 11:27 AM Post #9
|The problem is we are supposed to believe she thinks she should love Doc Bonas because he is so wonderful, but fans know his history with female patients. Looks like DarMar are fixing Dena's biased butchery of Jack's character, hopefully they also stop Doc Bonas' whitewashing and someone points out his past behavior, and that he is not this wonderful guy.

For release: Tuesday, January 23, 2001At a special event held at the National Institutes of Health on January 4, more than 150 principal investigators from nine institutes--the first gathering of its type--heard NINDS Director Gerald D. Fischbach, M.D., and Steven Hyman, M.D., director of NIMH, describe their vision of a new intellectual framework for joint efforts in neuroscience research. The new National Neuroscience Research Center, which will be built on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, will support that vision through shared, flexible space, easy traffic flow, and ample areas for interaction among scientists and with the public, architect Rafael Vinoly explained. US Representative John Edward Porter attended the event and reflected on his longstanding interest in promoting collaboration among NIH Institutes and his conviction that NIH must always strive to inform the public about its research efforts and advances. The building will be named in honor of Porter.

WASHINGTON, DC - The following is a statement from Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman on the Senate Appropriations Committee's passage of the FY 2007 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill:
"I commend the work of the Senate Appropriations Committee in supporting many of the President's priorities in the Department of Energy's budget.
"We are encouraged by the committee's commitment to the expansion of nuclear energy in this country - especially GNEP.
"The bill passed also contains a number of provisions concerning the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, and addresses the issue of "waste confidence" in the licensing of nuclear power reactors. We very much appreciate Chairman Domenici and Senator Reid engaging constructively to address these important issues.
"In addition, we also appreciate the Committee's support of the President's Advanced Energy and American Competitiveness Initiatives.
"The Advanced Energy Initiative will support a significant increase in clean-energy research to accelerate breakthroughs in how we power our homes, businesses, and automobiles.
"The American Competitiveness Initiative will boost our basic science research funding. It will help support and grow the world-class scientific discovery occurring at our national laboratories. It will also help train a new generation of researchers and scientists that will ensure that America will lead the world in opportunity and innovation for generations to come.
"As we continue through the appropriations process, we look forward to working with Members of both Houses to provide information on other important funding priorities of the Department."

After months of hype, MTV has finally released the first teaser trailer for their small screen adaptation of "Teen Wolf." It's a television series that's based on the popular eighties movie that starred Michael J. Fox as an adolescent who discovers he's the descendant of a bunch of werewolves. Even though they have the same name this show will take a different approach to that Lycan legend, take a look…
Unlike the Teen Wolf movie, the main character Scott (Tyler Posey) doesn't turn into a werewolf due to a family gene. Instead, he gets bitten by one, while walking in the woods (typical). We also never see him go full on werewolf like the ones in "True Blood." He looks more like half-breed than anything, but don't take our word for it, judge for yourself.
There's only one face throughout this entire trailer that looks vaguely familar to me and that Tyler Hoechlin, who plays Derek Hale. He had a regular stint on "7th Heaven" a few years ago and he also starred in Road to Perdition alongside Tom Hanks. Yep, he was the wide eyed little boy in that movie.
After watching this trailer, we learned a couple of things. On the show Scott doesn't play basketball, he plays Lacrosse and there's a group of renegade wolf hunters who've been going after his kind for centuries. This series looks more like "The Vampire Diaries" than "Teen Wolf," is that a good thing?
What do you think of the teaser for Teen Wolf?

As Wright details the spread of literacy across Ireland in the Celtic church he describes the Irish scribe as the "original literary inter-twingler" and asks " can we recognize a distant ancestor of today's blogger?" using a writing style that wright labels "self-directed". I wonder if based upon what is known about the literary transformations of the Celtic scribes, we can shed any light on what directions that our current self-directed, self publishing, inter-textual bloggers are taking us?
The wikipedia entry on the internet includes a brief- naturally- section on the WWW and HTTP as in Internet protocol.
Both the Rosenzwig article and the Friedman book virtually ignore this critical use of the internet in discussing its development. Where would the WWW fit into the the development of the Internet? How does the open source nature and bottom up/top down development of the web and web applications fit into the history of the Internet?

Izzy the Frog Facts in Lumina Land
In 1990 scientists noted an alarming fact
from California, Colorado, and Wyoming to Brazil, Switzerland, and
Japan, frogs were disappearing. Recognizing that frogs are a living
barometer of earths environmental health, a number of biologists set
out to find out why. Is this human folly or a quirk of nature doing
amphibians in?
Leaving the water and moving into trees
and on land allowed the descendants of the early amphibians to
colonize a wide range of new habitats. Some species spent their
entire lives in the topmost levels of the trees.
The word amphibian comes from the Greek
anphi and bios meaning double life. They can live or
function both on land and in water.
Some frogs and toads carry their eggs or
tadpoles on their backs or in a skin pocket, others store their eggs
inside the body, in vocal -sacks or even into the stomach. Two
species of toads give birth to live young that are tiny versions of
their adult selves.
Frog calls are inherited, unique and
species specific and are primarily used for recognition and
reproductive efforts
Their ability to leap is amazing with the
worlds distance record for frog jumping at 33.5 feet in three
consecutive jumps or an average of 17.5 feet per jump.
Frogs and toads have shared the world of
humans as far back as our species memory extends. With their huge
eyes, their quadruped bodies, their love of and need for water and
their eerie voices, frogs and toads are both distantly alien to
humans and uncannily like us.
The Park River Watershed
The type of watery home that
Izzy relies upon for survival is actually a combination
of clean water, healthy plants, and animals, called a
freshwater ecosystem. The quality of any freshwater
ecosystem is shaped by activities on the surrounding
land. Wherever we work, play or sleep, we are part of a
territory which drains into a stream, pond or river.
That is, we carry out our daily activities in one or
more drainage basins—or watersheds—and a significant
portion of the water (from rain or snow) that falls on
our homes or playing fields or streets makes its way
downhill into a river or stream that is supporting the
likes of Izzy.
Every water body in
Connecticut—even a backyard brook—has its own watershed.
And there are watersheds within watersheds; the Park
River Watershed, which consists of 77.2 square miles
just south of Hartford (pictured below), is nested in
the larger the Connecticut River Basin, which in turn
comprises part of the watershed for Long Island Sound.
For more watershed maps, see
Izzy in Trouble?
There are 10 species of frogs in
Connecticut. For photos and calls, see
Because of their dual life on land
and in water, frogs are a great barometer of the health of an
ecosystem. The skin of frogs is thin, permeable, and often wet or
coated in mucus. These traits allow the frog to effectively breathe
and drink through their skin! These traits also make frogs very
susceptible to foreign pollutants. It is not a good idea to handle
an amphibian if there are any chemicals (bug spray, lotion, etc.) on
your hands because it can be absorbed through the frogs skin and
potentially kill it. When waters become polluted with fertilizer,
pesticide, oil, and other chemicals, the frog may passively absorb
the pollutant and become sick or die. The pollutant could also have
an effect of the hormones of tadpoles as they develop which can lead
to sterile adults.
The dual life of frogs also makes them
very susceptible to another form of human impact: habitat
modification and destruction. By building roads and developments
the natural habitat is split up into separate fragments. Travel
between these fragments is often a perilous journey in the open for
a frog. If they dont dry out on the road, they may be picked off by
a predator or have an unfortunate encounter with a car. Development
also reduces the overall amount of habitat which forces frogs into
denser populations allowing for rapid transmission of diseases such
as Ranavirus or the deadly fungal infection Chytridiomycosis.
Some wetlands are only wet for a small time during the spring, but
these vernal pools and ephemeral wetlands are extremely important
for the reproduction of spotted salamanders, wood frogs, and other
species. The loss of these wetlands has had a drastic effect on
these species. For Vernal pools, see:
Some of the most degraded freshwater
ecosystems in Connecticut are ones whose drainage basins have a high
percentage of impervious surfaces, deforestation, septic systems,
and pesticide use.
Impervious surfaces, such as parking
lots, highways and roadways, collect heavy metals and chemicals from
car exhaust and other sources, which is then carried off by
rainwater or snow melt and deposited into local waterways. The
stormwater runoff from highways typically includes highly
carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PCBs, pesticides,
lead, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, chloride, sulfates and
cyanide. PAHs alone have been implicated as a significant source of
mortality for the invertebrates that serve as food for frogs. See
publications by the Environmental Protection Agency:
According to Thomas Schueler,
the Executive Director for the Center for Watershed
Protection, At 10% imperviousness in its watershed, a
stream is considered at risk. Between 11% and 25% the
stream is considered impacted, unable to sustain its
full range of natural biodiversity. At 25% or higher,
the stream is unable to support any level of
biodiversity. Upwards of 50%, and the stream is unable
to support any life form. (
Trees play a major role in
a watershed in intercepting rainfall and encouraging its
infiltration into the soil. Thus, reducing tree cover
leads to increased stormwater runoff, incidence of
flooding, water pollution and degradation of freshwater
cleansers and personal hygiene products--and
pharmaceuticals that exit our homes through bathroom and
kitchen drains are part of the newly studied emerging
contaminants that threaten freshwater resources in the
United States. The U.S. Geological Survey has concluded
that household products plus caffeine and prescription
drugs are frequently present in streams and lakes across
the country. Some of these substances can act as
endocrine disruptors, and a 2008 Yale University study
on frog deformities in the Connecticut Valley suggests
they may be partly to blame for the prevalence of
intersex traits in frogs of suburban Connecticut. The
study, led by Dr. David Skelly, found that suburban
frogs in fact had a higher incidence of intersex traits
(21% of those collected) than frogs found in either
urban (18%) or farming (7%) areas. See

This work was presented in part at the 9th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections. Seattle, WA, 24–28 February 2002 [Abstract 267-T].

Received: 20 September 2002; revised: 13 March 2003; accepted: 19 March 2003.
We measured the plasma levels of B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) in 101 HIV-1-infected patients and 18 controls. BLyS levels were higher among HIV-positive patients [median 5.70 (3.90) versus 4.62 (1.04) ng/ml, P = 0.002], who had significantly higher BLyS and total serum globulin levels with decreasing CD4 cell counts. Moreover, BLyS levels increased exponentially below 100 CD4 cells/μl. BLyS and globulin levels increase as HIV disease progresses, suggesting a role for BLyS in the hypergammaglobulinemia of HIV infection.
HIV infection is often accompanied by polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia [1–5], resulting from a state of generalized, non-specific B-cell activation [6–8]. The mechanism underlying this phenomenon has not been conclusively established. B-lymphocyte stimulator protein (BLyS) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily that regulates the survival, proliferation and differentiation of B lymphocytes [9–13]. In vitro, BLyS induces B-cell activation and expansion [12,14]; in vivo, exogenous administration of BLyS to mice leads to the expansion of B-cell populations in lymphoid tissue and increased serum immunoglobulin levels [11,12]. In humans, BLyS levels are elevated in autoimmune disorders associated with hypergammaglobulinemia [15–18] and in follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [17]. Given the similarities between the biological actions of BLyS and the humoral immune derangements seen in HIV infection, we hypothesized that BLyS levels may be abnormal in HIV disease.
A total of 101 adult HIV-infected patients and 18 healthy, HIV-uninfected volunteers were included in the study. Demographic data, nadir CD4 T-cell counts, highest plasma HIV-RNA levels, history of antiretroviral treatment, and the CD4 T-cell count, plasma HIV-RNA level and serum globulin level values closest in time to the measurement of BLyS were recorded for HIV-infected patients. HIV-infected patients were subdivided into three groups according to their most recent CD4 T-cell count: group 1, greater than 500 cells/μl (n = 27); group 2, 201–500 cells/μl (n = 42) and group 3, 200 cells/μl or less (n = 32). BLyS levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on stored plasma samples as previously described [16].
BLyS levels were significantly higher among HIV-infected patients than among controls [median (interquartile range; IQR), 5.70 (3.90) versus 4.62 (1.04) ng/ml, P = 0.002]. Ninety per cent of the controls had BLyS levels between 3.4 and 5.6 ng/ml. None of the controls had a BLyS level above 5.7 ng/ml, in agreement with previous reports, which have generally found BLyS levels below 10 ng/ml in normal individuals [15–17]. By comparison, 51 of the HIV-infected patients (50.5%) had levels above 5.7 ng/ml and 22 of them (21.8%) had levels above 10 ng/ml. BLyS levels in the subgroups of HIV-1-infected patients and the controls are depicted in Fig. 1a. There was a graded trend towards increasing BLyS levels with more advanced stages of HIV disease. Median (IQR) BLyS levels among uninfected controls and HIV-infected patients with over 500, 201–500 and fewer than 200 CD4 T cells/μl were 4.62 (1.04), 4.85 (2.97), 5.51 (2.20) and 8.28 (7.43) ng/ml, respectively (P < 0.001). The corresponding serum globulin levels among HIV-infected patients were 3.3 (0.4), 3.6 (1) and 3.8 (6.8) g/dl (P = 0.026), paralleling the trend observed in BLyS levels (Fig. 1b); however, the linear correlation between the two did not reach statistical significance. There was a significant but non-linear correlation between BLyS levels and CD4 T-cell counts, with BLyS levels remaining relatively stable at higher CD4 T-cell counts and increasing exponentially at the lower extreme of the CD4 T-cell count spectrum. There was a weak, but statistically significant direct linear correlation between plasma HIV-RNA and BLyS levels.
The elevation of BLyS levels in our HIV-infected patients is consistent with findings in a previous report on the production of autoantibodies at different stages of HIV infection [19]. Although both plasma BLyS and serum globulin levels proved to be strongly associated with the stage of HIV disease in our cohort, we were unable to confirm a direct correlation between them. This does not exclude the possibility that an underlying correlation between BLyS and immunoglobulin levels might have been obscured in this analysis by other serum globulins or by the effect of regulatory signals other than BLyS on immunoglobulin production. In a previous report on a similar cohort of HIV-infected patients [19], no significant association could be demonstrated between BLyS and IgG levels regardless of the CD4 T-cell count. In patients with autoimmune disorders, a weak association between BLyS and immunoglobulin levels has been found by some investigators [15], but not others [18].
This study does not allow us to determine the mechanism of BLyS level elevation in HIV infection. The cells that primarily express BLyS, including dendritic cells, monocytes and macrophages [9,10,12,20], are all targets for HIV, suggesting that HIV might directly drive the overexpression of BLyS by these cells. Alternatively, the expression of BLyS may be upregulated as a homeostatic response to lymphopenia or by soluble factors that are, in turn, elevated in HIV infection. Both IFN-γ and IL-10 upregulate BLyS expression and secretion [12,21]. Because its production is impaired in the more advanced stages of HIV disease [22], IFN-γ is an unlikely mediator of the increased levels of BLyS seen in HIV-infected patients. IL-10 levels, on the other hand, are often elevated in HIV infection [23–25], and are inversely correlated with CD4 T-cell counts [26]. Moreover, HIV Nef protein directly induces IL-10 expression and production in vitro [25], and effective antiretroviral treatment leads to a rapid decline in IL-10 levels [23]. One could thus speculate that in HIV infection, increased IL-10 production might result in the upregulation of BLyS with subsequent B-cell activation and hypergammaglobulinemia.

Sanderson Farms earned award
The Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District (BVGCD) awarded the "Industrial Groundwater Conservationist of the Year" award to Sanderson Farms, Inc. Brazos Processing Plant at a ceremony held prior to the February 11 Bryan City Council meeting. The award honors industrial entities that strive to reduce the impact of their groundwater use on District aquifers.
Sanderson Farms management and employees began a serious commitment in 2008 to more efficiently manage their poultry processing plant located just west of FM 2818, while protecting the vital resources and minimizing their impact on the environment. The company focused on water conservation and the implementation of new technology that would reduce the dependence on groundwater.
During 2008, the plant used 650,000,000 gallons of water to process 60 million broilers. In each successive year, the water footprint was reduced resulting in the use of 377,000,000 gallons to process the same number of broilers in 2013. This equates to a 42% reduction of groundwater used from the Simsboro aquifer, the main aquifer used by the population of Bryan and College Station. This achievement was realized by installing more "water friendly" equipment and incorporating reuse wherever possible.
In 2010, the company launched the Sanderson Farms Corporate Responsibility Program to more deliberately focus on their environmental and cost efficiency goals. The company has found that if the employees of Sanderson Farms understand and commit to making responsible choices about the operations, the efficiencies translated into strong, long-term support of the groundwater resources in the Brazos Valley.
"The Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District applauds the efforts of Sanderson Farms management and employees to conserve and preserve our groundwater and for their monumental example of stewardship of a precious natural resource", says Alan Day, General Manager of the BVGCD.

NMDC suffers Rs 1,500-crore revenue loss during 2007-10: CAG
In a report tabled in the parliament on Thursday, the comptroller and auditor general says that NMDC suffered a revenue loss of Rs 745.94 crore in 2006-07 for not increasing prices in line with global trends. In 2010-11, it cut prices passing on benefit of Rs 600.83 crore which the auditor says was unwarranted.
NMDC supplies ore to most Indian steel makers with the exception of Tata Steel and Steel Authority of India Ltd (Sail) who have their own captive mines. The miner also exports ore to Japanese steel mills. The prices of these contracts are linked to the contracts set by Brazilian and Australian ore exporters to Japan.
Domestic prices from 2005-06 to 2009-10 were worked out by deducting export related expenses (duty, freight etc) from its export rates. These prices were based on recommendations made by the Ganeshan committee set up in 2005 to recommend a formula to link domestic price to international prices. But critically, NMDC failed to do what the committee had recommended. It filed to revise rates mid-term, even when prices moved more than 25%, losing Rs 745.94 crore.
The CAG says that NMDC further lost another Rs 600.83 crore in 2010-11 by offering the domestic steel industry an "unwarranted" 5% loyalty bonus and 5% price volatility discount. It lost another Rs 227.34 crore, when it moved to quarterly pricing from annual in 2011-12.
The domestic price increases, when it happened, were restricted to just two-third of the global increase though NMDC matched the global price when they fell. The CAG report also blames the Karnataka government for failing to provide clearances for NMDC's upcoming project in the state, a delay which gave enough room for the Bellary brothers to fill the burgeoning export demand through rampant illegal mining.

Does the smoke stop when the engine warmed up?
Yep, after it cranks it sputters just for a second blows white smoke, and quits. I just got back today from a garage had the injectors checked and the overhead ran. there was no fault codes?

Thats normal its cold out, they all do that, mine smokes white for a good 5 minutes sometimes. Unless your are loosing coolant then dont worry about it and truck!

If it it continues after "warm-up" that could be the case.
Listen to the hot side of the engine for any hissing. Sometimes there might be residue seeping between the block and the head but not always.
Before I had the injectors checked, it would do it untill the it got good and warmed up. Now it sputters and blows white smoke and you can smell the fuel. After about 10-20 seconds it stops, but if I cut it off after its ran and start it back it will do the same thing.

My guess is the cold temps are keeping the fuel from buring up completly inside the motor and some of it is expelled thru the pipes.

Gunslinger Doc Holliday dies, the X-ray is discovered by accident, John F. Kennedy is elected president, and the Florida recount begins, all on this day.
1931: Actress Darla Hood, best known as the leading lady in the "Our Gang" series from 1935 to 1941, is born in Leedey, Oklahoma. She made her acting debut at age four in the 1935 film "Our Gang Follies of 1936" and continued to be a regular through her final "Our Gang" film appearance in 1941's "Wedding Worries." She continued her acting and singing career up until her death from heart failure at age 47 on June 13, 1979. An autopsy later discovered that Hood had contracted acute hepatitis from a blood transfusion she had recently received during an appendectomy, leading to her death.

Darwin's theory of revolution 200 years later
No, that isn't a typo. It is what Charles Darwin's theory of Evolution resulted in: a revolution of society. Relativism. Man is little more than animal. Life is cheap. There is no God. etc.
If we are not created in God's image, but were a result of random accidental occurances over billions of years, then we are the masters of our own fate. We are answerable to no one.
What you think is right for you is your truth. What I think is right is my truth. Truth is relative. There are no absolutes; we are just an accident of nature. This thinking affects people's attitudes toward abortion, embryonic stem cell use and research, organ donation, euthanasia.
If I asked you who won The Scopes trial in the ???? aka the Monkey trial the right to teach creation or evolution, most would say the Christian lost. That would be incorrect. Yet we act like it is correct.
Today, because of scientific breakthroughs and better data, the "facts" presented at the Scopes trial as proof for evolution have been proved false. Yet we see our public schools and even some parochial schools adhering to evolution as if there is no longer any doubt.
If we do not acknowledge that we have a creator, how can we demand our rights that were endowed to us by our creator that all men are created equal? That we have the right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? When life is cheap, anything goes. I call that revolutionary.

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo emphatically stated that Barcelona transfer target David Luiz is not for sale at any price:
He is part of our long-term future here. It's normal he gets interest because he is a Brazilian international centre back but we have three internationals for that position and it's great. We need to have that for a club like us.
Luiz has been up and down for Chelsea but the potential to be an elite centre-back is there. His exceptional technique and ability to dictate play from the back are reasons why Barça want him.
Here are four last-minute alternatives for Luiz that Barcelona should consider before the transfer window closes.
