The way I see it, in many ways this country is headed down hill fast; it's in high gear and nobody's touching the brakes.
I would never have dreamed it in 1975, when in the dead of winter, I moved from South Carolina to Campbellsville and rented a farmhouse from Bess and Clement Whitlock.
But here I was in late April and early May at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C., working as a volunteer - as I have for the past seven years - for the Wells Fargo Championship.
This year, however, proved to be extra special at the fabulously beautiful and lush green golf course that some say rivals even Augusta National and the Masters as THE tournament on the PGA tour.
They watched as their friends, one by one, died tragic deaths. And as obituary after obituary was read, the message sunk in.
Most of the teenagers lost their lives in car crashes, from drinking and driving or texting while behind the wheel. We all know we shouldn't do either, but, for some reason, people still test their limits sometimes.
And that's why teenagers - and adults - need the message sent at the recent Ghost Out at Campbellsville High School and mock crash at Taylor County High School.
This is a special week to be a Kentuckian. If we didn't get enough attention for our college basketball teams during the recent NCAA tournament, now comes an even bigger stage, another way to shine the spotlight on the Bluegrass State.
The giggles were contagious.
As I waited for the event to start, I saw the children's excitement grow. It was palpable. They had their homemade, home-decorated buckets in tow, ready to hear the adults tell them "go."
"Daddy! Daddy! Look what I got," the little girl shouted with glee.
Every child was a winner at The Kid SpOt Center's second annual autism awareness event at Kid Wise Amusement on April 16. When their name was drawn for a door prize, the children rushed to the prize table to choose among several gift baskets overflowing with an assortment of educational toys, craft kits and candy.
Years ago when our son, Dave Jr., was about 7 or 8 years, he awoke early one Easter morning, but I was awake, and he immediately began singing the chorus of the Don Francisco song, "He's Alive."
"He's alive, yes he's alive, yes he's alive and I'm forgiven," Dave sang as he hopped out of bed.
At first, before I could understand what he was singing, I thought something was wrong with him; maybe he was having a bad dream or was sick and crying for help.
It's something our parents tried to instill in us all. But it's also something some of us have forgotten over the years. And now, with people being as busy as they are, it might have gone by the wayside entirely.
I went to a dining etiquette workshop on Monday afternoon at Campbellsville University. Look in Monday's issue for photos from the event.
If you build it, they will come.
The old saying will hold true, I'm sure, for two new homes in Taylor County, The House of Hope and J&W's House of Hope. You can read about the homes on today's front page.
The concept is simple - a handful of residents got together and are turning two houses into transitional homes for those who have battled drug addiction.
I owned three pairs of shoes when this story began.
A pair of shoes showed up at my house a few years back. That's not all that unusual, except these showed up by themselves, with no one attached.
I was coming up the drive to the garage one day when I saw a plastic Walmart bag with something in it lying against the house. There's always something laying around our house, mostly kids, so my curiosity wasn't peaked until a couple of days later. The bag was still there.

Hamas announces deal on Gaza electricity crisis (AFP) AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE) 04/03/12)

The Hamas government in Gaza said on Tuesday it had reached a deal with the Palestinian Authority on the supply of fuel to the coastal enclave, which has been hit by a severe power crisis.
The deal was confirmed by the rival Palestinian Authority government in Ramallah, though it said the deal was contingent on Gaza´s electricity company -- under Hamas control -- paying for the fuel deliveries.
Hamas spokesman Taher al-Nunu announced "a deal with our brothers in Ramallah on the delivery of fuel for the Gaza power station, under which the public petrol company will deliver 500,000 litres a day starting tomorrow."
"The price of the delivery will be covered by the Gaza electricity company´s revenue," he added.
"The electricity company has transferred two million shekels ($540,000, 400,000 euro) as a deposit for this agreement and we hope that its application as agreed with our brothers in Ramallah will begin to solve the electricity crisis in Gaza."
The spokesman for prime minister Salam Fayyad´s government in the West Bank noted that the Palestinian Authority had already secured the delivery of more than 400,000 litres of diesel fuel from Israel for the power station last month.
"This is a temporary measure that will be carried out so long as the electricity company in Gaza continues to pay the petrol company the necessary funds," Ghassan Khatib told AFP of the new agreement.
The deal was agreed after talks held in Cairo between Egyptian officials and representatives from the Hamas and Palestinian Authority governments.
Hamas foreign minister Mohammed Awad said the agreement would compliment an earlier deal between Hamas and Egypt to work to resolve Gaza´s long-standing electricity problems.
That agreement, announced by Hamas on February 23, called for three stages, the first of which would see Egyptian companies pumping fuel directly to Gaza under the terms of contracts signed with the firms. The second part of the agreement called for the Islamic Development Bank to fund a project to upgrade and increase the capacity of Gaza´s sole power plant by 40 megawatts.
The third phase of the deal would connect Gaza´s electricity grid to Egypt´s and would convert the Palestinian territory´s power plant, which currently supplies around a third of the Strip´s electricity, from diesel to gas.
Gaza, with its population of nearly 1.6 million, has long suffered outages because of fuel shortages at the plant, which has a maximum capacity of 140 megawatts but for some years has only been able to generate around half of that when operational.
But in recent months, the situation has worsened because of a shortage of fuel both for the power plant and the generators residents were using to tide them over during blackouts lasting up to 18 hours a day. (Copyright © 2012 Agence France Presse. 04/03/12)

Nicole & Fred
July 14
Lyons, Colorado
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
Planet Bluegrass is the location of one of our first dates (Folks Fest 2008), and it's where we got engaged (Folks Fest 2011). We both felt strongly about giving our hard-earned money to a place that we loved and believed in, and where we knew we'd return year after year to partake in the annual festivals with our festi-family/friends.
We are proud that our wedding helped support Planet Bluegrass, which brings amazing music to Colorado and helps nurture talented artists–big and small. Moreover, we introduced 175 guests from around the world and a handful of new vendors to the venue, which we hope will encourage a new generation of festival-goers.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. The bridal party bouquets were wrapped in the vintage French Alsace lace as well as incorporated in the neckline of the flower girls' dresses, hand-sewn into the bride's wristlet, and used to decorate the dessert table.
2. DIY hula hoops! Our friend Sarah Gagne and her son, Rye Gray, helped us make all the hula hoops. We bought the tubing at Home Depot and using a YouTube tutorial, we cut the tubes into different sizes, filled them with water, marbles and beans; sealed them with a hairdryer; and wrapped them in colorful electric and duct tape with wild colors and patterns. At the end of the wedding, we happily gave the hula hoops away to our nieces/nephews and other children to enjoy. They were a big hit during the wedding.
3. My family made vintage signs using lumber from an old school house that paired nicely with the rustic ranch details, and complemented our western footwear.
3. If you could offer one piece of advice to other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Exercise! Maintaining a regular schedule at the gym helped keep my stress level under control and allowed me to sleep more soundly. My brain was going in a million different directions during the planning phase, and exercise helped me stay focused and organized and get things done without short circuiting or becoming totally overwhelmed. Exercise does as much good for mental and emotional health as it does for physical health, which will truly make you look your best on the big day—both inside and out.
4. Give us the one moment from your wedding you can't stop thinking about.
Our maid of honor, Liza Hines, delivered a lively and interactive toast that required audience participation. With a 16 year age difference between Fred and I, it's become old hat for our friends and family (on both sides) to crack jokes, especially early on in our relationship. When Liza said: "Stand up if you have ever made a joke about Fred and Nicole's age," the entire room sprung to their feet; everyone had quite the laugh, including us. It was a funny, yet touching moment and I knew that as a couple, we'd proven to everyone that age is only a number. Further, that if you have good friends, family, music and LOVE in your life, you will always be young at heart.

DeWalt DWS535 Specs
Blade diameter: 7 1/4 inches
Bevel capacity: 0 to 53 degrees
Motor: 15 amps
Speed: 4,800 rpm
Weight* (by mfr.): 13.8 pounds (* does not include blade or cord)
Cord length: 8 feet
Street price: $199
Made in: Taiwan
This spring DeWalt introduced the DWS535 wormdrive saw. As a true wormdrive, this tool promises to be more durable than the earlier DW378G, an inline model. Over the past few months, our crew has used it for all aspects of framing, including hand-cutting a roof. Here's what we thought of it.
The DWS535 is solidly made and well-balanced, and it has a comfortable grip — though not quite as comfortable as the one on my Makita 5377MG. According to DeWalt, the saw weighs 13.8 pounds — slightly lighter than the average wormdrive. In use, it had about the same heft as my Makita and Ridgid R3210 models.
Power. The DeWalt has more than enough power to cut the materials we normally use — framing lumber and large engineered beams made from LVL or PSL. We were impressed by how powerfully it cut a 45-degree miter when set to a bevel of 53 degrees; it powered right through without bogging down. The motor does have a bit of a rattle to it, which was off-putting until I considered that all of my Bosch 15-amp wormdrives have similar rattles that apparently haven't affected their longevity.
Guard. While most guards work fine for straight cuts, all too many snag during bevels — a major annoyance when you're cutting roofs. This wasn't a problem with the DWS535; its guard never once snagged during steep compound miters. We've been using the Ridgid to cut rafters, because the Makita snags too often; with the DeWalt we have a second option.
Adjusting depth and bevel. It irritates me when I have to use a lot of force to change the blade's depth setting. This usually happens after the saw has been in use for a while and has gotten dirty and taken some falls. With some saws it gets to the point where I have to tap the base with a hammer to adjust the depth of cut. DeWalt's depth-setting mechanism worked very smoothly out of the box — though it's a little stickier now. I haven't had it long enough to know how it will fare long-term.
I particularly like the bevel adjustment on this saw. The scale is marked in 1-degree as well as the usual 5-degree increments. The mechanism slides very smoothly and there are detents at 22.5 and 45 degrees. The latter comes in handy when you set the bevel all the way to 53 degrees — which, incidentally, is farther than any other wormdrive can bevel.
The DeWalt has well-thought-out features like a comfortable oversize trigger, a large folding rafter hook, a sturdy baseplate, and a reinforced cord. The rafter hook projects almost 3 inches beyond the edge of the saw, so you can hang it off engineered lumber and 2 1/2-inch flange I-joists. This is an important feature for me because I almost never put a saw on the ground, preferring to hang it from a joist, a rafter, or a notch cut in a sawhorse.
Sooner or later every saw takes a fall, so the baseplate must be tough enough to resist damage. I like the base on this saw: The lightweight magnesium piece has some thickness to it and reinforcing ribs that keep it from bending.
Although we know we're not supposed to, we often find ourselves lowering tools by the cord. Do this enough and the cord gets ruined. To protect against that kind of damage, DeWalt beefed up both the cord and the cord's connection to the saw. It may be a small detail, but it's the kind of thing that makes for a better tool.
Rip guide. The DeWalt saw can be equipped with the DWS5100 rip guide. With two arms, an oversize fence, and a 14 1/2-inch rip capacity, this $39 accessory puts other rip guides to shame. I've used it to rip framing stock and can see using it to rip soffit material when I don't feel like using a table saw.
The Bottom Line
With work as slow as it has been, I have to think pretty hard about buying new tools. Nevertheless, if I were in the market for a new wormdrive, the DWS535 is the saw I'd buy. It's powerful, its guard doesn't snag, and it bevels to 53 degrees — all big pluses in my book. Everything about it feels solid and well-made. The one thing I don't like is that the depth-setting mechanism is a little sticky, but that's a minor problem when weighed against the tool's other qualities.

I've had a quick look at your succesful CG regime so far. Wondered how often you washed/co-washed. Have just started the journey, think I'm 4b but have dry, crispy and frizzy hair in the morning and have to wash or spritz to revive my curls. Any tips as I don't really want a soaked? (using Aubrey Honeysuckle Rose cond and their B5 gel). Your hair looks fab by the way...
Wow, the difference is amazing! I thought your hair was beautiful pre-CG, but by week 7, (even though I hate when people do this to me) I wanted to reach through the screen and touch your hair.
I just read the entire thread-- thank you for posting you progress! Your hair is beautiful and your curls look amazing after sticking to CG faithfully. It is very encouraging!
I am starting my 3rd week of CG but yesterday I tried combing my ends in the hopes of keeping my individual coils separate and ended up with a frizzy fro, like I started with. Hopefully it won't take long for my strands to start clumping back together.
Very nice!

I've read this ENTIRE journey. I am doing the CG method also. I am so impressed and in awe on how absolutely GORGEOUS your hair is. Reading this blog has been very encouraging for me and basically let me know that choosing the CG method is EXACTLY the right choice for my hair regimen. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!!!! PLEASE don't stop!
Beautiful curls! I'm in my beginning stages and reading about your progress just inspires me to keep up my regimen.(: I'm so ready to embrace my natural hair. No more blow dryer or straightener, and I wanna have my hair looking decent come August of next year for vacation. Keep up the good work!

Rice is a starchy grain, used as a staple ingredient by more than half the world's population. Its versatility and ability to adapt to any flavor and seasoning makes it a valued ingredient in almost any type of cuisine. In addition, its chewiness and soft texture adds substance to meals, complimenting multiple types of meal plans.

There are many varieties of rice which are divided into categories based on the seed size. Rice can be long grain, medium grain, or short grain. Basmati rice is a long grain rice, while sticky rice and aborio rice, otherwise known as risotto, are types of short grain rice. All rice is originally whole grain, brown, with the bran attached, but white varieties are pearled for the more familiar white rice.

During the pearling process the grain passes between a machine where it is rolled and the bran is gently "pearled" off, leaving the white kernel intact. This makes the grain a processed, refined grain and it is no longer a whole grain. Pearling also lowers cooking time and extends the shelf life of grains.

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

All rice is considered starchy and provides a source carbohydrates. Because one-third cup of cooked rice contains about 15 grams of carbohydrates, it's important to watch your portion and to aim to make rice your side dish. Sticking to about a fist full or one-forth of your plate is a good way to portion control rice. And when possible, choose whole grain brown rice, which contains more filling fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Wild rice is also a solid choice because it contains more fiber.

Health Benefits of Rice

Depending on the type of rice you choose, rice can serve as a good source of b-vitamins, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, fiber, and iron. Rice is also an excellent source of manganese and magnesium.

Thiamin is a b-vitamin that helps with carbohydrate metabolism. Magnesium is the structural component of bones that assists in hundreds of enzyme reactions involved in the synthesis of DNA and proteins and is required for proper nerve conduction and muscle contraction. Manganese is the component of antioxidant enzymes that assists in carbohydrate and protein metabolism.

Brown rice and enriched rice contain more vitamins than regular white rice. In addition to thiamin and magnesium, brown rice contains selenium, which influences thyroid function and is important in antioxidant enzymes. And enriched rice contains folate. Brown rice is also a better source of fiber than white.

Common Questions About Rice

What are the different varieties of rice?

There are many different types of rice, some of which are long grain, medium, and short grain. Within these varieties there are also different types of processing. Converted rice, for instance, is parboiled to remove that surface starch. This type of rice retains more nutrients than white rice and cooks more slowly than regular milled rice. Instant or quickly cooking rice, on the other hand, is fully cooked and then flash frozen. This process removes some of the nutrients and flavor, but makes it a very quick cooking rice.

Short grain rice tends to have higher glycemic index than long grain and medium grain rice. This means that it raises blood sugars at a quicker rate than white rice.

The most popular forms of rice available in the United States are aborio rice, basmati rice, jasmine rice, brown rice, sticky rice, wild rice, and wild pecan rice.

Aborio rice, better known as risotto, is a short grain rice that is white in color with mild flavor. This type of rice is typically used in Italian dishes.

Sticky rice is another short grain rice that is used in many Asian cuisines. This type of rice is also known as glutinous rice or sweet rice. It can be ground into flour and used for dumplings. It is also used in making rice vinegar and Japenese sake.

Wild rice, usually a whole grain, has a nuttier flavor and is the seed of an unrelated reedlike aquatic plant. This type of rice is typically used as a side dish and has more vitamins, minerals and fiber than white varieties.

Wild pecan rice is a unique long-grain rice that has a nutty flavor and rich aroma.

The most nutritious form of rice is brown rice. It is a high fiber grain which usually takes longer to cook than white rice. Typically, brown rice contains about seven times more fiber than white rice. For example, one cup of cooked medium grain white rice contains 0.5 grams of fiber, whereas 1 cup of cooked brown rice contains 3.5 grams of fiber. Brown rice also contains fewer calories and carbohydrates than white rice (about 25 calories and 7 g carbohydrate). Lastly, brown rice has more minerals than white rice.

Can I eat rice if I am trying to lose weight?

Rice can be incorporated into most meal plans, even those that are calorie and carbohydrate restricted. The key to eating rice is to manage your portion. One serving of rice is about one-third cup cooked. If rice is serving as the only starch at your meal, aim to keep your portion to about two-third to three-fourth cup cooked.

Avoid eating large quantities of rice, as this can lead to excess calorie and carbohydrate consumption. The issue with overeating carbohydrates, particularly refined, processed ones, is that if the converted glucose cannot be burned as fuel it is stored as fat. In addition, refined, processed carbohydrates can cause blood sugars to rise quickly, resulting in an increase in insulin levels. For those people with diabetes or insulin resistance, this can be problematic as it is difficult to lose weight and reduce blood sugars.

Picking and Storing Rice

When possible choose whole grain brown rice. This means that the bran is still attached and the seed is intact. Whole grain rice has more fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Store white rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. At temperatures of 70 degrees or below, rice can be stored for 10 years of more. Brown rice can be stored for about 6 months in a cool dry place, but if you place it in the freezer it will keep for about one year.

Once rice is cooked, store it in the refrigerator and use it within three to four days. You will know if your rice has gone bad if it is hard and dry, or if it has an unpleasant smell.

Avoid instant or quick cooking rice when possible as this type of rice removes some of the nutrients and flavor.

Healthy Ways to Prepare Rice

Most American grown rice is clean and free of insects and, therefore, does not need to be rinsed. However, if the package recommends rinsing or soaking you should do so.

The standard ratio for cooking rice is two parts liquid to one part rice. However, this can vary depending on the variety. Cooking time can also vary depending on the type of rice. One cup of raw, uncooked rice generally yields about 3 to 4 cups cooked. When in doubt about how to cook a specific type of rice, check the package label for exact guidelines.

Note, once rice is cooked it is highly perishable, so it is important to store leftover cooked rice in the refrigerator and to reheat it before consumption.

Use rice as a side dish, accompanied by vegetables or a small amount when stuffing vegetables or to compliment stews, curries, and soups. Rice can also be used in making puddings, breads, or as an addition to salads.

Alongside fixed barbecues (brick, concrete or stone), there are transportable in prices from 15 to 3000 USD, basic to the very sophisticated with cupboards, worktops, side burner, etc. We distinguish the devices depending on the fuel used.
The choice of barbecue is primarily following the use you will make:
- the frequency of use: just during the summer or in any season;
- the number of people to serve: family, friends, relatives, or all at the same time!
- the dishes you will prepare: grilled meats, poultry, fish, vegetables, shrimp, potatoes, leg of lamb, etc.
- the desired cooking: grill, oven, griddle, rotisserie, pizza stone, or wok.
- space: large or small garden, terrace, or balcony.
So if you cook grilled just for the family, during the long summer evenings on the terrace or in the garden, go for a barbecue with charcoal or a small gas grill or electric.
For a "garden party "with many guests (over ten people), choose the best gas grill model to prepare all your dishes: from appetizers to dessert through the lamb, chicken, fish.
You like to cook outside, even in the spring or in the fall? Invest in a gas grill that offers all the comforts of a controlled baking, a rapid start and allows you to perform a broad range of recipes. You can also opt for a charcoal barbecue, very aesthetic!
On your balcony, choose the electric barbecue (to lay on a table), it is easily transportable and takes up little space.
Charcoal Barbecue Grill
This is the traditional barbecue. It is perfect for searing meat and gives them a unique little taste of smell.
Prefer a tank and an enameled steel lid, flame resistant and preserving the original appearance. Prefer a model with cover, to protect against flare-ups, distribute even heat in the tank and keep the food soft. The NF remains a mark of quality for charcoal grills. Choose the one where the fuel should not be consumed too quickly and do not release too many fly ashes. Ideally, the charcoal must be composed of 80% carbon. You can also burn coconut or charcoal briquettes that offer excellent resistance.
Tip: Charcoal is to keep dry. Help you fire lighters, paraffin cubes or compressed wood, liquids or gels ignition, to start your grill and get the coals at the right temperature.
Important: Never use methylated spirit or gasoline to start a fire! Accident risks are too high.
Models of barbecues with charcoal are becoming more sophisticated: integrated work plan, vertical cooking, adapted rotisserie, wok, built-in griddle, pizza stone, designed smoker.
Some barbecues are equipped with an ignition system facility:
- Start from the bottom, inside the barbecue, in Barbecook;
- RapidFire Chimney Spark Weber: place the chimney full of charcoal over flaming fire starter. The embers are ready in about 20 minutes;
- Automatic ignition gas, Touch-N-Go Weber with a stainless steel burner and a button to press.
The recovery and ash cleaning is made easy thanks to the removable ashtray.
Electric Barbecue Grill
Lightweight, compact and portable, an electric grill is perfect for balconies and small urban gardens. Especially, since some models can be placed on the table. The best electric grills are the ones which are very easy to use: plug it into the household power outlet, turn a knob to turn it on and to adjust its temperature. You control everything using simple functions. Prefer a high power barbecue (at least 2.2 kW), with cover to maintain heat. At lower power, the barbecue may be slow to heat and cook large pieces of meat. Choose a cooking grill in cast enameled steel, and always a cover to keep the heat and cook food faster.
The grease collection is done in trays or by window-fried platters, which revalorise juices for tastier food.
Gas Barbecue Grill
Multifunction, gas grill lets you enter foods like cooking them slowly. It is perfect for the stone grill, wok cooking, baking, and grilling. It lights up with a button, it heats very quickly and allows you to adjust precisely the cooking temperature.
Prefer a bowl and a lid cast aluminum, a cooking grill in cast enameled steel. Advice: choose propane fuel gas, used in all external conditions and better performance. The gas grill is ideal for large gardens, but can become a substantial investment for households. An essential element not to be overlooked when choosing a gas barbecue: the burners. Prefer stainless steel, there are different power (in kW), consuming more or less energy. The number of burners is important to consider when shopping: slow burners and your meat is dried up. Consider also the size of the grill and the number of people to serve.
When the weather is set fair, and the sun is shining, the urge is strong to spend the whole day outside, especially to eat there! The barbecue is great pleasure in the summer to 75% of the Americans. Gas grills and electric grills are the best, but they're no match to the taste charcoal barbecue provides. Accessories and technology have pushed the gas grill to become a true outdoor kitchen. The barbecue is no longer synonymous only with grilled sausages and steaks; you can now also cook vegetables, fish, poultry, seafood, pizza, paella, starters, and desserts! Between tradition and modernity, balance your heart? Follow our tips for choosing the best barbecue of the summer!

description: May 31, 2012—Scientists in Switzerland have developed a method to help paralyzed rats with severed spinal cords walk—and even climb stairs—again. The team's cocktail of neuronactivating chemicals and electrical stimulation might be a precursor to future treatments for disabled humans, researchers say.

transcript:
Researchers have found a way to rehabilitate paralyzed rats with severed spinal cords to begin walking on their own again.
The breakthrough could be a step toward rehabilitating humans with similar injuries.
The study, at EPFL in Switzerland, involved injecting neuron-activating chemicals into the paralyzed rats, as well as applying electrical stimulation.  Researchers say over time, one group of  rats, while being held upright with a harness attached to a robotic system, were able to take steps  on solid ground with their hind legs, and eventually sprint and climb stairs.
SOUNDBITE: Grégoire Courtine, EPFL Professor of Life Sciences: "And what we observed is that over time, the animal regains the capacity to perform one, two steps and then a long run, and eventually, a paralyzed rat regains the capacity to sprint on the ground, climb stairs, even pass obstacles."
While the robotic system holds the rats upright, the forward motion is powered by the rat.  Previous studies have shown rats regain the ability to walk on a treadmill, but not by themselves.
The researchers say the finding may put a cure for paralysis in humans due to a severed spinal cord one step closer.  Thus far, such a result has eluded scientists.
SOUNDBITE: Grégoire Courtine, EPFL Professor of Life Sciences: "The therapeutic impact of this type of intervention in humans is difficult to predict.  But this very surprising plasticity in recovery that we have observed in the rat opens a promising perspective to improve function in humans with spinal cord injury."
The study is published in the June 1st, 2012 edition of Science Magazine.

Sleeping comfortably whilst pregnant
Hi everyone,
I'm now a little over 20 weeks pregnant and I am finding it more difficult to get comfortable whilst sleeping. Before I was pregnant I would naturally fall asleep on my back but the advice (from my midwife) is that I should now be sleeping on my left hand side (this will help to get the baby in a good position for the labour).
I've tried surrounding myself with pillows but these tend to move during the night and then I wake up feeling uncomfortable. I'm keen to be getting good sleep as I am aware of research which shows that the average labour time is longer for women who are not having enough sleep.
How did you sleep when you were pregnant? Do you have any tips? Also, has anyone tried a Holo Lilo as this looks like a good way to sleep on your front.
Many thanks,

Hi Laura-Jane,
This is the first I've heard of the Holo Lilo, so, needless to say, I didn't use it. I, too, would be curious to find out if anyone has used this and if they found it helpful.
Once concern I have is that it looks like it's made of vinyl, and vinyl outgasses/offgasses a lot. So if I were using this, I would be sure to let it air out for a few weeks before bringing it in the house. I'd also try to cover it with a fabric cloth like a bed sheet, to avoid skin contact with the chemicals in the vinyl. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it absorbs elements from everything it comes in contact with - both good, and bad. Contact with vinyl could cause the kidneys and liver to have to work harder to move toxins out of the body - toxins that your developing baby will be exposed to.
If you're a back sleeper, you may just find it hard to get used to sleeping on your side. I slept on my side with all of my pregnancies, but I'm naturally a side sleeper. I place one hand under my pillow when I'm sleeping on my side (if I'm laying on my left side, it would be the left hand under the pillow).
One thing that we have had on our bed ever since we had our first child is a body pillow. It was a really inexpensive one but I'm sure you could find more expensive ones too - depending upon what you want. I remember grabbing that body pillow at times in order to find a comfortable position, and at times during my pregnancies it definitely helped.
Here's a fabulous video by a woman who is 32 weeks pregnant. I think that what she shows you here will definitely help you to sleep comfortably on your side. If you do try it, please let me know how it works for you.

I am a stomach sleeper. I slept on my stomach until it became uncomfortable and then switched to my left side, with a body pillow for support. It's hard. I would still wake up at times and find that I had rolled over. The Holo Lilo has a great shape, I've never seen one before now. I am concerned that it would not be so comfortable to sleep on though. I cannot sleep on vinyl, I can't even sleep on a bare mattress. It drives me crazy. I would have to make some sort of cover for it.

Ooooh this video is really helpful - I see how well supported this lady is and the method she has used should mean she stays in this position throughout the night. I will try it tonight!
I guess something which sometimes makes it more difficult for me is that my toddler is sometimes co-sleeping still (he does really well with starting off sleeping in his cot and then comes into our bed in the early hours). But we are helping him to spend longer in his cot each night (lots of singing and shushing going on!). Although I think this is for the best, I am also sad because I love snuggling up to him at night-time. But I need to make sure we are both getting lots of good quality sleep (especially as I read a study which showed labours are more likely to be longer if the woman is consistently not getting enough sleep) and we have started to disturb each other too much in bed. That said, I think co-sleeping was absolutely wonderful for the first 12-14 months and if my next bubba is keen I will be happy to co-sleep with them also.
Thank you both for your comments on the Holo Lilo - I think if I do go with one of these I would make a cotton cover for it.
Best wishes,

Hi Laura-Jane,
I've definitely had a bub in bed during my later pregnancies but I just taught them to snuggle up to Papa, as I had my back turned to them and was sleeping on my left side. Of course they could snuggle up to my back if they wanted to, but I think you're wise to try to teach your little one to sleep in his own cot.
When I had a newborn in bed, I always had her between me and my husband. But if you're going to use a side sleeper then your toddler could still climb up in bed, next to Papa (between you and your husband) and he wouldn't disturb you or the baby.
I love hearing how you are all transitioning and I especially like the insight that if a mum isn't getting enough good quality sleep, labour can be longer. Makes sense to me! Quality sleep is SO important for every bodily function.
Warm regards,
18th June 2012 10:47 PM #6
Thanks Kate, you are very encouraging!
Your experience of co-sleeping is useful to me as, even though I am hoping and planning to have my toddler in his cot for most of the night by the time the new baby comes, I can imagine that there will still be times when it will be useful to co-sleep with two (e.g. if my toddler is teething or unsettled for some reason). We do have a side sleeper cot to help with co-sleeping (it's the Arm's Reach one).
The new sleeping technique worked well over the weekend: comfortable for me and bump!
Best wishes,

Anderson, S.C.- The Brevard College men's soccer team dropped a 3-0 contest to the Anderson University Trojans in South Atlantic Conference action on Wednesday evening.
Efren D. Escobar and Landon Reid both put shots on goal for Brevard, but the play of AU keeper Lukas Hesse kept the Tornados off the board.
The Tornados managed Anderson's offensive attack early to keep the game scoreless in for the first 54 minutes. Pauli Jussila recorded two saves in the first half, and a third before the Trojans found the back of the net early in the second half.
Ben Jones put the Trojans on top 1-0 at 54:09, working free and punching the ball in from 15 yards out. Anderson came out of the break with a charge on the offensive side of the ball, firing seven shots of their ten shots in the second half.
Lars Zimmerman scored from 20 yards out to make it 2-0 AU at the 67:04 mark in the second half. Zimmerman scored a second goal at 72:27, this time from 10 yards out on an assist from the right side by Daniel Colvin.
The Tornados are 1-1 SAC competition in 2012, and play their first home conference game of the season on Saturday, September 22nd against the Mars Hill Lions at 4:30 p.m.

text: One way to liven up a Labor Day weekend is for a hacker to post hundreds of photos he stole from over 100 celebrities' phones. Most of the photos are naked pics and so far only a few of the 100 people named have had their photos released. Jennifer Lawrence started it all off and since then the list has only grown longer. At some point during the night, the hacker stopped posting them. I don't know if this means he was discovered and busted or if he got scared he was going to be busted or he needed a new place to post the photos. For the most part all of the photos that have been posted have been confirmed as real. There was one person, Victoria Justice, who claims the photos of her are not real. The thing that is crazy to me is that one of the actresses who admits the photos of her posted are real says she took and deleted the photos from her phone years ago. It just shows you that even when you think something is deleted from your iPhone that it still might be in the Cloud waiting for someone to find it. I saw a lot of clamoring for men's photos to be hacked too, and I wonder if there will be some equal opportunity hacking of men and if the internet traffic for those photos would be as high as it has been for the women. The photos were stolen. The women did not ask for anyone to look at them. These are not screen grabs from a movie where they got paid to be naked. These are photos they expected would remain private and now they are out for the world to see. Representatives for several of the women say they will prosecute anyone who posts the photos. It sounds great, but they can't and they would not win a lawsuit either.

Watertown, Mass. • Lifting days of anxiety for a city and a nation on edge, police captured the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect, found bloodied in a backyard boat Friday night less than 24 hours after a wild car chase and gun battle that left his older brother dead and Boston and its suburbs sealed in an extraordinary dragnet.
"We got him," Boston Mayor Tom Menino tweeted. A cheer erupted from a crowd gathered near the scene.
"CAPTURED!!!" police added later. "The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody."
During a long night of violence Thursday and into Friday, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev killed an MIT police officer, severely wounded another lawman and hurled explosives at police in a desperate getaway attempt, authorities said.
Late Friday, less than an hour after authorities said the search for Dzhokhar had proved fruitless, they tracked down the 19-year-old college student holed up in the boat, weakened by a gunshot wound after fleeing on foot from the overnight shootout with police that left 200 spent rounds behind.
He was hospitalized in serious condition, unable to be questioned about his motives.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in the shootout early in the day. At one point, he was run over by his younger brother in a car as he lay wounded, according to investigators.
The violent endgame unfolded four days after the bombing and just a day after the FBI released surveillance-camera images of two young men suspected of planting the pressure-cooker explosives that ripped through the crowd at the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding more than 180.
The two men were identified by authorities and relatives as ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and were believed to be living in Cambridge, Mass. But investigators gave no details on the motive for the attack.
President Barack Obama said the nation owes a debt of gratitude to law enforcement officials and the people of Boston for their help in the search. But he said there are many unanswered questions about the Boston bombings, including whether the two men had help from others. He urged people not to rush judgment about their motivations.
The breakthrough came when a man in a Watertown neighborhood saw blood on a boat parked in a yard and pulled back the tarp to see a man covered in blood, authorities said. The resident called 911 and when police arrived, they tried to talk the suspect into getting out of the boat, said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis.
"He was not communicative," Davis said.
Instead, he said, there was an exchange of gunfire the final volley of one of the biggest manhunts in American history.
Watertown residents who had been told in the morning to stay inside behind locked doors poured out of their homes and lined the streets to cheer police vehicles as they rolled away from the scene.
Celebratory bells rang from a church tower. Teenagers waved American flags. Drivers honked. Every time an emergency vehicle went by, people cheered loudly.
"They finally caught the jerk," said nurse Cindy Boyle. "It was scary. It was tense."
Police said three other people were taken into custody for questioning at an off-campus housing complex at the University of the Massachusetts at Dartmouth where the younger man may have lived.
"Tonight, our family applauds the entire law enforcement community for a job well done, and trust that our justice system will now do its job," said the family of 8-year-old Martin Richard, who died in the bombing.
The FBI was swamped with tips 300,000 per minute after the release of the surveillance-camera photos, but what role those played in the overnight clash was unclear. State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said police realized they were dealing with the bombing suspects based on what the two men told a carjacking victim during their night of crime.
The search by thousands of law enforcement officers all but paralyzed the Boston area for much of the day. Officials shut down all mass transit, including Amtrak trains to New York, advised businesses not to open, and warned close to 1 million people in the entire city and some of its suburbs to unlock their doors only for uniformed police.
Around midday, the suspects' uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., pleaded on television: "Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness."
Until the younger man's capture, it was looking like a grim day for police. As night fell, they announced that they were scaling back the hunt and lifting the stay-indoors order across Boston and some of its suburbs because they had come up empty-handed.
But then the break came and within a couple of hours, the four-day ordeal was over. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured about a mile from the site of the shootout that killed his brother.
Chechnya has been the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994, in which tens of thousands were killed in heavy Russian bombing. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.
The older brother had strong political views about the United States, said Albrecht Ammon, 18, a downstairs-apartment neighbor in Cambridge. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as "an excuse for invading other countries."
Also, the FBI interviewed the older brother at the request of a foreign government in 2011, and nothing derogatory was found, according to a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The official did not identify the foreign country or say why it made the request.
Authorities said the man dubbed Suspect No. 1 the one in sunglasses and a dark baseball cap in the surveillance-camera pictures was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, while Suspect No. 2, the one in a white baseball cap worn backward, was his younger brother.
Exactly how the long night of crime began was unclear. But police said the brothers carjacked a man in a Mercedes-Benz in Cambridge, just across the Charles River from Boston, then released him unharmed at a gas station.
They also shot to death a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer, 26-year-old Sean Collier, while he was responding to a report of a disturbance, investigators said.
The search for the Mercedes led to a chase that ended in Watertown, where authorities said the suspects threw explosive devices from the car and exchanged gunfire with police. A transit police officer, 33-year-old Richard Donohue, was shot and critically wounded, authorities said.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev somehow slipped away. He ran over his already wounded brother as he fled, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. At some point, he abandoned his car and ran away.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died at a Boston hospital after suffering what doctors said were multiple gunshot wounds and a possible blast injury.
The brothers had built an arsenal of pipe bombs, grenades and improvised explosive devices and used some of the weapons in trying to make their getaway, said Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., a member of the House Intelligence Committee.
Watertown resident Kayla Dipaolo said she was woken up overnight by gunfire and a large explosion that sounded "like it was right next to my head ... and shook the whole house."
She said she was looking at the front door when a bullet came through the side paneling. SWAT team officers were running all over her yard, she said.
"It was very scary," she said. "There are two bullet holes in the side of my house, and by the front door there is another."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev had studied accounting as a part-time student at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston for three semesters from 2006 to 2008, the school said.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was registered as a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Students said he was on campus this week after the Boston Marathon bombing. The campus closed down Friday along with colleges around the Boston area.
The men's father, Anzor Tsarnaev, said in a telephone interview with AP from the Russian city of Makhachkala that his younger son, Dzhokhar, is "a true angel." He said his son was studying medicine.
"He is such an intelligent boy," the father said. "We expected him to come on holidays here."
The city of Cambridge announced two years ago that it had awarded a $2,500 scholarship to him. At the time, he was a senior at Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, a highly regarded public school whose alumni include Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and NBA Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing.
Tsarni, the men's uncle, said the brothers traveled here together from Russia. He called his nephews "losers" and said they had struggled to settle in the U.S. and ended up "thereby just hating everyone."
Sullivan and Associated Press writers Stephen Braun and Jack Gillum reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Mike Hill, Katie Zezima, Pat Eaton-Robb and Steve LeBlanc in Boston and Jeff Donn in Cambridge, Mass., contributed to this report.
Justice official: No reading of Miranda rights
Washington • A Justice Department official says the Boston Marathon bombing suspect will not be read his Miranda rights because the government is invoking a public safety exception.
That official and a second person briefed on the investigation says 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be questioned by a special interrogation team for high-value suspects. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to disclose the information publicly.
The public safety exception permits law enforcement officials to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation of a suspect and allows the government to introduce the statement as evidence in court. The public safety exception is triggered when police officers have an objectively reasonable need to protect the police or the public from immediate danger. A glance at the search for Boston bomb suspects
Key moments related to the search for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, based on reports from the Middlesex County district attorney, Massachusetts State Police, and Boston police.
At 5:10 p.m. Thursday, investigators of the bombings release photographs and video of two suspects. They ask for the public's help in identifying the men.
Around 10:20 p.m., shots are fired on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, just outside Boston.
At 10:30 p.m., an MIT campus police officer who was responding to a disturbance is found shot multiple times in his vehicle, apparently in a confrontation with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. He is later pronounced dead.
Shortly afterward, two armed men reportedly carjack a Mercedes SUV in Cambridge. A man who was in the vehicle is held for about a half hour and then released unharmed at a gas station on Memorial Drive in Cambridge.
Police soon pursue the carjacked vehicle in Watertown, just west of Cambridge.
Some kind of explosive devices are thrown from the vehicle in an apparent attempt to stop police. The carjackers and police exchange gunfire. A transit police officer is seriously injured. One suspect, later identified as Suspect No. 1 in the marathon bombings, is critically injured and later pronounced dead.
Authorities launch a manhunt for the other suspect.
Around 1 a.m. Friday, gunshots and explosions are heard in Watertown. Dozens of police officers and FBI agents converge on a Watertown neighborhood. A helicopter circles overhead.
Around 4:30 a.m., Massachusetts state and Boston police hold a short outdoor news briefing. They tell people living in that section of eastern Watertown to stay in their homes. They identify the carjackers as the same men suspected in the marathon bombings. Overnight, police also release a photograph of a man believed to be Suspect No. 2, apparently taken from store video earlier in the evening at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Cambridge. He is wearing a gray hoodie-style sweatshirt.
Around 5:50 a.m. authorities urge residents in Watertown, Newton, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge, Arlington and the Allston-Brighton neighborhoods of Boston to stay indoors. All mass transit is shut down.
Around 6:35 a.m., The Associated Press reports that the bomb suspects are from a Russian region near Chechnya and lived in the United States for at least a year.
Around 6:45 a.m., The Associated Press identifies the surviving Boston bomb suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, who has been living in Cambridge.
Around 8 a.m., Boston's police commissioner says all of Boston must stay in their homes as the search for the surviving suspect in the bombings continues.
Around 8:40 a.m., a U.S. law enforcement official and the uncle of the suspects confirm that the name of the slain suspect is Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's older brother.
Around 10:20 a.m., Connecticut State Police say a gray Honda CRV believed to be linked to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been recovered in Boston.
Around 10:35 a.m., the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth says it closed its campus and ordered an evacuation after confirming that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is registered there. The school says it closed the campus "out of an abundance of caution" as the search continued.
Around 11:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police explain that the brothers suspected in the bombings were in the Honda CRV when they carjacked the Mercedes SUV. For a while, each drove one of the two vehicles, but then ditched the Honda and reunited in the Mercedes.
Around 12:35 p.m., state police in Watertown say officers are searching door-to-door but still have not found the bombing suspect.
Around 6:30 p.m., Massachusetts Gov. Patrick Deval announces that mass transit is resuming and the "stay indoors" order is being lifted even though one suspect remains on the lam. State police say that suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, fled on foot and there is indication he has a vehicle. They believe he is still in the state because of his ties to the area.
Around the time the order is lifted, a flurry of gunfire breaks out in the same community that was being searched. Law enforcement officials locate Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in a boat parked behind a home.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is taken into custody by police at approximately 8:45 p.m. Spontaneous applause breaks out among police and onlookers surrounding the scene and residents take to the streets to cheer police.

Altuzarra Fall 2014
The idea of curling up into a deep pile fleece jacket is pretty alluring on a chilly New York night such as this, even if the mountaineering staple isn't exactly what you'd call the height of chic. Imagine that same fleece thrown over the shoulders of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, a woman who remained elegant even on her most casual days, and the whole look takes on an enviable and stylish sense of ease. It's that central portrait of a lady that Joseph Altuzarra had in his mind's eye for fall 2014 amidst a collage of artful references.
It all started with a trip to Art Basel last year, when two pieces caught his eye as he walked through the sprawling fairs: the first a hot pink tapestry by Sheila Hicks, and the other an angular steel sofa by iconic French furniture designer Maria Pergay. "They were in the same booth, so it was an interesting juxtaposition and it got me thinking about how to do luxury in a different way," said Altuzarra before his show.
That idea unfurled with graphic belted double-faced coats and a series of handwoven dresses and tops that had the same craft-like heft of Hicks's work and followed the contours of the body, as well as sculptural Pergay-esque metal chokers. The fabric worked best when it was tucked at the neck of those coats as snoods, which were an eye-catching and practical solution to the winter-warmer conundrum.
Overall it was the outerwear that stood out the most in this collection and the vibrant intarsia minks were spliced with optimistic shades of hot pink, teal, and warm orange. "I don't know whether it's because I'm recently engaged," said the designer, whose fiancé proposed a few months ago. "But it was really about joyous, happy color." All fur aside, it was the treatment of the more humble layers in our wardrobe, like the sporty fleece jacket, that was most impressive here. As with the parkas, and the OshKosh workwear he's reinvented in the past, Altuzarra has a knack for elevating familiar outerwear tropes to new heights, and here the fuzzy synthetic hand was upgraded with soft shearling. Given the current move in fashion toward an easier, more tangible sense of luxury, it looks and feels right.

A television attack ad is hitting the 47th Congressional District airwaves that bashes state Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, by accusing him of supporting business-unfriendly legislation.
The 30-second spot is funded with a $320,000 so-called independent expenditure by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has backed Lowenthal's Republican opponent, Long Beach Councilman Gary DeLong, the owner of a telecommunications consulting firm. According to the Federal Election Commission, the buy was made Sept. 28.
The ad, which is mirrored in seven other California congressional races, features Minnesota small businesswoman Darlene Miller, the 2008 U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year winner.
"I want to hire more people," says Miller, the president and CEO of a precision parts company.
"But, we don't know what our tax rates are going to be, you don't know what our health care is going to be, or our energy costs. When you go into that voting both, you need to know who you're voting for."
As sources, the ad lists bills supported by Lowenthal that designate funding for businesses related to the implementation of the Global Warming Solutions Act and an Internet privacy law that allows consumers to opt out of online collection of personal information.
Also used is "AB 568," most recently a 2011 bill that limited the use of restraints on incarcerated pregnant women.
The producers of the advertisement most likely meant to cite Lowenthal's SB 568, which would have banned the use of polystyrene food containers. The bill failed last month on the final day of the legislative session.
Mike Shimpock, a Lowenthal campaign spokesman, was quick to jump on the mistake Monday.
"Alan will always stand up to the abdomen shackle manufacturing industry," quipped Shimpock.
Turning serious, he added: "This is a bunch of conservative, climate-denying, anti-consumer Washington, D.C., special interests spending a lot of money on Gary DeLong."
DeLong campaign manager Bill Christiansen said in a statement that small business owners recognize the importance of electing a candidate with private sector experience.
"This endorsement and ad from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce sends a very clear message that Gary DeLong is the only candidate who will go to Washington, D.C., and fight for small business and make it easier for small businesses to create new jobs," said Christiansen.
The new 47th District has no incumbent.
It includes most of Long Beach, part of Lakewood and all of Signal Hill and stretches east into western Orange County.

Phil defries boxing is second to none in they gym, he just had confidence problems using it I'm his fights against WORLD CLASS fighters. I'm sure after a few boxing bouts he will realise him self how good he is at standup
http://www.facebook.com/craig.st.clair666 ME
"That was how i got my first soapy titwank!
Listening is cool and shit." BlackdogMMA
The only bad thing going for Phil is he fights out of that shit-hole Sunderland haha. He's a talent, just came up against the best their is in the UFC unfortunately. Keep on doing your thing Phil dude!
that's not how u hold a pidgeon !!!! haha , thank u sheilsy
Phil went to the UFC too soon, plain and simple. Could've/should've learned from the same approach that Jimi Manuwa took when turning down the UFC a couple of times before eventually signed.
Beating Stav and Colin Robinson should've never been enough for him to get the nod from the big guys. Presumably would've been exposed a lot sooner had he been fighting on with no disrespect to M4TC, Cage Warriors where he would've been matched against guys who would ask questions from him.
Good win over Stav nonetheless but IMO that doesn't merit UFC status.
What is UFC status now? Some fighters have gone in you wold not have looked at but have gone from strength to strength. And vice versa
Honest opinion guys neil wain takes it. Think phil a good fighter but Neil Grove and Neil Wain still both up there in uk heavy weights and dont think any of them would fear fighting defries.

The theory of evolution maintains that birds evolved from reptiles, but is totally unable to account for the enormous differences between these two separate living classes. One feature that widens the unbridgeable gulf between birds and reptiles is feathers, which are unique to birds.
The structure of bird feathers is far too complex to be explained by means of any evolutionary process. The well known ornithologist Alan Feduccia does not consider it probable that a tissue so well suited for flight could have emerged initially to serve another purpose (for example, insulation, as is claimed by evolutionists). As he says: "Everything about them indicates an aerodynamic function... They're lightweight, they're excellent airfoils, they produce high lift at low speeds, and they have a Velcro-like quality that lets them be reassembled."95
In addition, a long, stiff tube runs along the center of the feather. From both sides of this tube emerge hundreds of barbs. These barbs, which have differing lengths and degrees of softness, give the feather its aerodynamic properties. Even more interestingly, on each barb are even smaller structures known as barbules, too small to be seen with the naked eye. On all of these barbules are tiny hooks, thanks to which the barbules are held together tightly, as if by zippers.
There are 650 barbs on either side of a stork feather's stem. Each one has 600 contraposed barbules, attached to one another by 390 hooks which, again, cling together like the two sides of a zipper. If the hooks become detached from one another, the bird has only to shake itself or groom its feathers with its beak for them to reattach.
To maintain that such a complex structure evolved as the result of random mutations from reptile scales is simply a dogmatic belief, based on no scientific foundation at all.
A. H. Brush, a Connecticut University professor of physiology and neurobiology, described the profound differences between reptile scales and bird feathers:
Every feature from gene structure and organization, to development, morphogenesis and tissue organization is different [in feathers and scales. . . the protein structure of bird feathers and are unique among vertebrates . . . Feathers appear suddenly in the fossil record. . . . 96
This superior creation in feathers gave Charles Darwin considerable pause for thought. The magnificent beauty in peacock feathers actually made him "cold all over," as he put it. In a letter to his friend Asa Gray dated 3 April, 1860, he wrote:
95. Pat Shipman, Ibid., p. 26.

Researchers: If Meteorite Hit 13 Million Years Earlier, Dinosaurs Might Still be Around

Research shows that pre-extinction disruption of food webs makes ecosystems more fragile, susceptible
Jonathan Mitchell
, a Ph.D. student on the
University of Chicago
's Committee on Evolutionary Biology,
Peter Roopnarine
of the
California Academy of Sciences
, and
Kenneth Angielczyk
of the
Field Museum
have collaborated to produce a fascinating simulations-based analysis of the factors that helped dinosaurs go extinct
en masse
at the close of the Cretaceous era.
The authors used a food web program they wrote, which looked at dozens of species. They looked to lay to rest debates about dinosaurs' diet (e.g. did
T. rex
eat Triceratops, Duck-Billed dinosaurs, or a mixture of both?) by carrying out a number of simulations with each possibility considered. A total of 17 food webs, based on species alive at the time, were inspected
What they found was that the precise diet of dinosaurs mattered less than the relative diversity of one ecosystem versus another. Comments Professor Angielczyk, "Using modern food webs as guides, what we have discovered is that this uncertainty is far less important to understanding ecosystem functioning than is our general knowledge of the diets and the number of different species that would have had a particular diet."
The researchers suggest that
climate change
in the Cretaceous led to a number of changes, including the drying of a sea in North America. The net result was
a loss of diversity
Lower food web diversity made the dinosaurs more vulnerable to mass-extinction a new study claims. [Image Source: PNAS]
This meant that while the ecosystem was still flourishing, it was respectively more fragile than its equivalent, 13 million years before the meteorite impact at Chicxulub on the Yucatan Peninsula. Comments Mr. Mitchell, "The ecosystems collapsed because of the asteroid impact, and nothing in our study suggests that they would not have otherwise continued on successfully. Unusual circumstances, such as the after-effects of the asteroid impact, were needed for the vulnerability of the communities to become important."
In fact, the authors argue that the dinosaurs would likely
have survived
the calamity, had the meteorite hit 13 million years earlier, during the period of greater diversity.
If the meteorite hit 13 million years earlier, the dinosaurs might not have gone extinct.

The authors say their analysis provides cautionary hints to help assess current ecosystems for vulnerability. States Professor Rooparine, "Besides shedding light on this ancient extinction, our findings imply that seemingly innocuous changes to ecosystems caused by humans might reduce the ecosystems' abilities to withstand unexpected disturbances."
However, the authors are also careful to note that their study did not indicate more
was a significant safeguard; rather they argue it's the amount of genetic diversity across species that's important -- in other words, saving a lot of similar species may not help as much as conserving
species that play unique roles
in the ecosystem.
The study was

Liver spots are flat, brown or black spots that can appear on areas of the skin exposed to the sun. They have nothing to do with the liver or liver function.
Sun-induced skin changes - liver spots; Senile or solar lentigines; Skin spots - aging; Age spots
Liver spots are changes in skin color that occur in older skin. The increased color may be due to aging, exposure to the sun or other sources of ultraviolet light, or causes that are not known.
Liver spots are very common after age 40. They occur most often on areas that have had the greatest sun exposure, such as the:
Liver spots appear as a patch or area of skin color change (macule) that is:
Your doctor will diagnose the condition by how the skin looks, especially if you are over 40 and have had a lot of exposure to the sun. You may need a skin biopsy to confirm the diagnosis if a liver spot that looks irregular.
No treatment is needed in most cases. You can improve the appearance of your skin by using skin bleaching lotions or creams. Most bleaching lotions use hydroquinone. This medicine is thought to be safe in the form used to lighten darkened skin areas. However, hydroquinone can cause blisters or skin reactions in some people. See your health care provider before starting treatment if you are worried.
Freezing (cryotherapy) or laser treatment can be used to destroy the liver spots.
Liver spots are not medically dangerous. They are permanent skin changes that may affect the cosmetic appearance of the skin.

Blake Shelton announces new album, debuts new video
Listen to Blake Shelton on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Anyone out there hankering for a new Blake Shelton record? The country superstar and Voice coach has one just about ready for you, so sit tight! Shelton revealed Monday on the Today Show that his new set, titled Based On A True Story..., will hit stores March 26.
Shelton also took the opportunity to debut his brand-new video, "Sure Be Cool If You Did," while hanging with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb.
True to form, the singer enjoyed some fun bantering with the hosts during his appearance, with a few serious subjects thrown in. When asked how he felt about his remarkably successful 2012, Shelton demurred, "I tend not to think too hard about this stuff--because once I start thinking about stuff, I tend to screw it up!"
He also had high praise for new Voice coaches Shakira and Usher, who replace the departing Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo. "I couldn't believe it when I heard they were gonna do it," Shelton enthused. "I thought there's no way we could get people like that on the show."
As impressed as he was with his new coworkers, however, it didn't stop him and fellow veteran coach Adam Levine from "givin' them crap." We'd expect nothing less…!
Season 4 of The Voice launches one day before Shelton's album release, March 25, on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Randall Leong, 29
Santa Barbara Resident Arrested for Narcotics Violations
Carpinteria - October 21st, 2013
A Santa
Barbara resident who was arrested in January of this year for possession for
sales of heroin was arrested again this week for the same offense.
In January 2013,
29 year old Randall Leong of Santa Barbara was investigated for drug sales. At
that time, Santa Barbara Police Department Narcotics Detectives contacted Leong
and a search warrant was served on him and his vehicle. As a result of that
search, Leong was found in possession of over one ounce of heroin pre-packaged
for sales. Leong was arrested and booked for possession for sales of heroin.
During the last month, Sheriff's Narcotics Detectives received
information that Leong was again selling heroin in the Santa Barbara area. On
Tuesday, October 22, 2013, SBSO Narcotics Detectives observed Leong driving
northbound on Highway 101 through Carpinteria. Sheriff's Patrol Deputies were
contacted and assisted in conducting a traffic stop on Leong. Once again a
search warrant was served on Leong and his vehicle. A thorough search was
completed and Leong was found to be concealing approximately ¼ ounce of heroin,
pre-packaged for sales on his person. Due to Leong being in a SBSO Custodial
Facility at the Carpinteria Station, he was arrested and booked into the Santa
Barbara County Jail for the following violations: Possession for sales of a
controlled substance, and transportation of a controlled substance. Because
Leong was out of custody on bail from his January arrest, bail was requested to
be set at $100,000.
