Flagler County Sheriff's deputies arrested a man on Thursday on aggravated child abuse charges after they say he abused a child from head to toe.
Stanley Wykretowicz, 38, was arrested after an investigation began on Feb. 24 when he brought a 2-year-old girl, who was unresponsive and had bruising on her body from head to toe, to the emergency room.
Wykretowicz told deputies he is the child's primary caregiver and that she had fallen into the bathtub Sunday, hitting her head on the spout and possibly on her bath toys, which caused bruising on her back and buttocks.
According to the report, Wykretowicz told detectives that the child fallen while trying to get out of the bathtub on Monday morning, hitting her abdomen on the side of the tub.
Wykretowicz also said in another incident, he noticed the child's abdomen appeared to be bloated so he tried to make the child vomit.
The child is in critical but stable condition on Thursday, deputies said. She needed abdominal surgery to repair a colon laceration and had severe injuries from blunt force trauma that appeared to be several days old.
Wykretowicz was taken to Flagler County jail on $150,000 bond.

A PROJECT has been launched to give Milverton play area a much-needed makeover.
The village's recreation ground committee has teamed up with the parish council to raise funds to buy new equipment.
Mike Sheppard, chairman of the committee, said: "Our existing equipment is enjoyed by many children, however, we are hoping the equipment we intend to purchase will have a real 'wow!' factor for the young people, enabling them to continue to enjoy themselves in a safe environment."
Jenny Hoyle, who is helping on behalf of the parish council, added: "We will have to work hard to achieve the target and hoping we will be able to obtain some outside funding to go towards what can be raised within the parish.
"The children at school have already offered to have cake sales and this will all help to achieve the target."

Pronounced keen-wa. It is a pseudocereal, which means the seeds are used like cereal grains, but the plant is not a true grass. You might not expect this, but quinoa is related to beets and spinach. Whole seeds, flakes and flour are eaten here. In some parts of the world, the greens are eaten also.
Quinoa is an ancient crop, considered sacred by the Incas. Christian Spanish conquistadors did not like that and banned quinoa. It has been a slow road back to popularity. And we can thank the gluten free diet for increased interest in delicious, nutritious quinoa.

Quinoa seeds have a natural coating called sopanins that taste soapy and bitter. It is a natural defense system that makes the seed distasteful to birds. They will not eat the crop in the field before it sprouts.
We do not like the taste of sopanins either and used to have to rinse the seeds with three changes of water. You could see the soapy bubbles disappear with each rinsing. But now, most commercially available quinoa is already rinsed for you. Modern day quinoa might qualify as convenience food!
Quinoa has more protein than any other grain, and it is complete protein.
The World's Healthiest Foods notes: because quinoa is a very good source of manganese as well as a good source of magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorus, this "grain" may be especially valuable for persons with migraine headaches, diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Seeds, Flakes and Flour
My regular grocery store stocks quinoa seeds, flakes, and flour. I use all of them. The seeds are my favorite though. The tiny circular seeds cook to a fluffy texture and pleasant mild flavor. I love the seeds for hot breakfast cereal, warm pilafs and cold salads. I will be posting some of these recipes in the future.
Quinoa seeds cook in only 15 minutes, much quicker than whole grain rice. You can use it in place of rice in many dishes. Quinoa comes in white and natural red colors. I have only used the white, which seems a more versatile color to me.
The flakes are often used for hot cereal. Some describe the flavor and texture as mild and smooth. Think baby's first food, like pablum. Some, my husband, call it mushy. He prefers the texture of cooked oatmeal.
The flakes really shine in fruit crisp toppings. See the recipe below.
I use the flour in breads and other baked goods. I do find the flour strong tasting. If it is a very large percentage of the flour in the dish, it can taste a bit soapy. Or like a lingering flavor of too much baking soda. So I use it when I am adding other flavorful ingredients.

Summer Fruit Crisp
A summer fruit crisp is a tasty way to get acquainted with quinoa flakes. I use the topping for any number of fruits, singly and in combination.
Today we make rhubarb cherry crisp. You could just as easily use blueberries, peaches or apples. Use less sugar in the filling with sweeter fruit.
You can also use pretty much any whole grain gluten free flour you like. But do not use soy flour, you will ruin the taste of perfectly good fruit.
You can bake the crisp in a medium pan, or use ramekins for individual servings. And the crisp freezes well. Make a lot and have some later in the week, or much later in the winter. I like to use pyrex containers with lids. The bottom is oven safe and the lid works great in the freezer. They are easy to stack too.
Rhubarb and Cherry Crisp
Serves 6
7/8 c sugar, divided
½ cup quinoa flakes
½ cup sorghum flour
½ cup nuts
¼ cup oil
6 cups total chopped rhubarb and tart cherries, in any combination
Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
In a small bowl, thoroughly mix ½ cup sugar, quinoa flakes, sorghum flour, nuts and oil.
Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 inch oven safe glass or ceramic pan. Or six individual ramekins. Put in the fruit, and sprinkle on the remaining sugar. Crumble the topping over the fruit.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is toasty. Cool a bit before devouring, or you will burn your mouth. 🙂
Do you like quinoa as much as I do? What do you do with it?
Added 6-14-09 This rhubarb was the last of the season from our garden. I am happily submitting this post and recipe to Grow Your Own recipe roundup using our home grown produce. Hosted this time by Zora of gardenopolis.

It's been nearly 9 months since the Drought Monitor has reported less than 50 percent of the nation in moderate or worse drought, and their Valentine's Day edition was no exception.
Though moderate to exceptional conditions across the Lower 48 did improve slightly this week – dropping to 55.73 percent from 56.84 percent last week – very little relief was felt across the Plains states.
For the High Plains in particular, the drought has been brutal. At least 50 percent of the region has reported extreme or worse drought for the past 26 weeks.
Seventy-seven percent of Nebraska is covered in exceptional drought, making it once again the highest percentage in the country. The last time this number fell below 77 percent was in September 2012.
Kansas, another state reporting a high percentage of intense drought, reported a shift in their drought. Thirty-six percent of the Sunflower State is in exceptional drought, unchanged from last week, but extreme drought conditions improved by 4 percentage points.
Other states with high percentages of extreme to exceptional drought include
- Colorado – 51 percent
- Oklahoma – 87 percent
- South Dakota – 63 percent
- Wyoming – 57 percent
See how your state is doing here.
Images from the U.S. government's Aqua satellite illustrate just how dry Kansas and Nebraska in particular has become since May 2012. Click on the slideshow to the rightto view the images.
Pessimism surrounding another year of drought is growing, and one meteorologist reported what could be another blow to areas hoping for recovery – La Niña.
Meteorologist Art Douglas, Creighton University, spoke last week at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association Trade Show.
His message: La Niña is now developing in the Pacific, meaning that the central Plains in particular could be facing another dry corn crop.
Douglas also expects an early, warm spring for the Midwest with the potential for normal or slightly above-normal moisture. By late spring, however, cooler and wetter weather may slow down late planting and early germination of the crop.
Read, "Warm, dry spring and a developing La Niña are forecast."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/2/2013 (1653 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Get ready to be excited, Modern Parents, because I have stumbled on the secret for communicating with our kids.
I will reveal that secret to you in a minute, but first I'd like to explore the problem in a thoughtful, intellectual manner, unless that proves too difficult, in which case I will resort to making amusing animal noises.
From my perspective, as a communications professional, the mistake modern parents make when conducting conversations with their children is they waste time on old-fashioned methods, such as trying to communicate with them via their ears.
Based on research conducted in my own home, I have discovered the ears of modern children have evolved to the point where they are unable to hear sounds produced by people they consider embarrassing dweebs, such as their parents.
For instance, I will routinely try to communicate to my daughter the concept that her room resembles a battlefield in Afghanistan, only with more CD cases, fashion magazines and empty makeup containers on the floor.
Me: "Sweetheart, could you please clean up your room?"
My daughter (Sound of her rolling her eyeballs back in her head): "???"
Me: "Sweetheart ...?"
My daughter (Sound of her door slamming): "YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE!!!"
Always willing to embrace modern technology, I have even tried using social media to achieve the desired result.
My tweet: "OMG! Cln yr rm. LOL. #oldfart."
My daughter: "I demand DNA evidence you're my real dad? #liferuined."
What I'm trying to say is that modern kids, especially teenagers, have evolved the ability to tune out anything their parents are trying to say. It's the same with our dogs, who, regardless of what we are trying to communicate, just stare blankly to convey the concept they'd really like a biscuit.
I could walk into our den and, at the top of my lungs, scream "FIRE!" and the dogs would remain snoozing on the carpet, emitting potentially toxic aromas. But if I were to sneak away and, as quietly as a ninja, tear open a potato chip bag, the sound would instantly penetrate their tiny brains and cause them to stampede into the kitchen in search of salty snacks.
At this point, most of us have forgotten the point of today's column, which was me promising to reveal the secret for communicating with today's modern tech-savvy children.
I discovered the secret this week when I visited Joseph Teres Elementary School in the wilds of Transcona as part of I Love to Read Month. Before reading to the kids, I warmed them up by displaying a poster of my main dog, Cooper, a basset hound with a huge appetite and a brain the size of a cashew.
"Awwwwwwww!" is what the kids said in unison.
Then I showed them a poster of me after being turned into the Lizard King from Outer Space by a world body-painting champion during Mardi Gras celebrations a few years back.
"Ewwwwwwww!" is what the kids said in unison.
The real highlight -- and this is where the parenting breakthrough comes in -- was when, at the school librarian's request, I led the kids (about 500 of them) in a rousing game of Simon Says.
The educational idea was the game would help the kids see what they had in common with their classmates.
"Simon says, if you have blue eyes, stand on one leg!" I shouted over the microphone. And: "Simon says, if you speak more than one language, hop up and down!"
These were amazingly polite and well-behaved kids, which gave me what I thought was a brilliant and non-hazardous idea. At the end of the game, just for fun, I roared: "Simon says, go out in the parking lot and wash Uncle Doug's car!"
In all sincerity, I thought the kids would just laugh and roll their eyes. Instead, dozens and dozens of them squealed with delight and scampered out of the room towards the parking lot. This caused the teachers to give Uncle Doug "the look," the one he normally only gets from his wife after spilling an entire container of salsa on the carpet in the den.
"I'm just kidding!" Uncle Doug shrieked wildly into the microphone as the kids scuttled off. "No, wait... Simon says, I'm just kidding! Simon says, COME BACK!"
In the end, they did come back. So what I'm suggesting is the rest of you modern parents might want to test my "Simon Says" technique on your own unruly offspring. It definitely worked for me. But, of course, I'm a communications professional.

MLA's smart-meter message 'muddied water even more': NDP critic
NDP energy critic John Horgan says it's time for energy minister Rich Coleman and the BC Liberal government to clarify a "muddled" position on BC Hydro smart meter installations and tell the public just what options they have.
The situation has become even more confused, he said, by information coming from BC Liberal MLA Gordon Hogg's office that states that customers who don't consent to installation of a smart meter will not be 'forced' to accept one.
The information, provided to a constituent by the Surrey-White Rock MLA's staff, has been widely publicized online by smart-meter opponents Citizens for Safe Technology and the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters.
Hogg told the Peace Arch News the information was verified with Coleman's office. He also pointed to an opinion piece by Coleman, distributed on Jan. 23, in which the minister said BC Hydro will not install a new meter without the homeowner's consent.
Hogg told PAN it's his understanding that customers will be able, ultimately, to opt out of the program.
Horgan said the BC Liberals must address the "mixed messages" they are giving out on smart meters.
"One week customers are receiving threatening letters saying the meters will be installed no matter what," he said in a news release issued Tuesday.
"The next week the energy minister pens an opinion piece saying BC Hydro won't install a new meter without the homeowner's consent. Which is it? You can't have it both ways."
Coleman, who has not returned repeated calls from PAN since Jan. 14, was asked in an email Wednesday whether, at the end of the day, a BC Hydro customer can opt out of the smart-meter program.
A ministry spokesperson responded, saying only that "BC Hydro is taking some extra time to work with customers who still have concerns about getting a new meter… In the meantime, we will not install a new meter for these customers unless we have their permission."
Horgan told PAN that his calls to BC Hydro had failed to clarify the issue, and that a spokeperson had been unable to supply any written policy to back up Coleman's comments.
Horgan said he is still not sure whether an opt-out is possible, even though he remembers hearing Coleman say it was, in response to a question he asked in the Legislature two years ago.
Most information published by BC Hydro and Coleman's office has suggested that absolute compliance with the program is necessary for the grid upgrade to work. Both have stressed the importance of helping customers understand the benefits of smart meters.
"Now the information from Mr. Hogg and his office has muddied the water even more," Horgan said, although he was quick to add he does not blame Hogg or his staff.
Horgan said he understands from his own experience that MLAs are being inundated with calls from concerned constituents on the issue and that their staff are working hard to provide information.
"I hold Gordon Hogg in very high regard and this is no criticism of (Hogg and his staff)," he said.
"But where is the leadership from the B.C. government and the minister?"
Horgan – who acknowledged he is skeptical about some of the claims of smart-meter opponents – said much confusion could have been avoided if smart meters had come under the regulatory oversight of the BC Utilities Commission. That would have included hearings in which all evidence for and against smart meters could have been reviewed with the opportunity of cross-examination, he said.
Instead, a billion-dollar upgrade of B.C.'s electrical grid was sold initially on its ability to defeat grow-ops, he said.
"My concern is, if this is a great idea, it should be able to stand some scrutiny," he said, adding that a lack of oversight has allowed opponents to panic members of the public about potentially harmful effects of smart meters.
"We (MLAs) are getting more play on this than we did on the HST, by a country mile," he said. "The way it was implemented was disastrous."

I keep finding codes that will seem to fix my problem, but none of them ever seem to work.
I'm trying to build a javascript content slider. It slides content like that of techcrunch.com on the top of the page. It wouldn't have to be a feed, but I'd need to be able to enter the links manually each time I edit the code.
I'm trying to get it, so I can get rid of tables and be able to post many different pages with the ease of just entering the photo url, link url, and content into it for a short message.
Anyone know if this is possible?
little extraI know html and I'm decent at css, but I'm bad with javascript.
I am using it on my blog and I just put the javascript in. This might be my problem, but adsense and my widgets work fine in javascript.
Hey, how did you get the source code for the individual block? The one on the bottom of the first page at the left on the DEMO 1 page looks fine and I think I can edit the html to put a link in there.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Intermediate Demos 2 page and you will see that you can scroll entire sections of a page.
Your slides can contain whatever you wish.
That's right. I suggest that you download the cycle code from the link in my previous post, and store it on your server. Storing it in a /js/ folder is a common location for such scripts.
Thanks, I kind of understand it now. All I need to do now is find one that allows me to put links and text in.
So basically for a plug in you just link to it?
You can use the Non-Image Content examples (end of the page) at http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/int2.html as an example of how to do it.
-- Paul Wilkins
It sounds like jQuery's cycle plugin would do the job well for you.
Look at the Non-Image Content section (end of the page) at http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/int2.html
I'm not sure how they relate to widgets and gadgets, but with the cycle plugin you just go to the [jQuery cycle page and get it from the [url="http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/download.html"]download link](").
On your own page after the jquery script, you include a refrence to the jquery.cycle.all.min.js file, and you can then setup your slider with something like:
$(function () {
fx: 'scrollLeft',
delay: -1000
Here's a cycle demo page from which you can view the source code to get an idea of what goes where.
I got the links to work, but I'm wondering how do you add the text correctly to each box?
http://fithope.com/2010/02/22/health-discussion.aspx example.
Yea, I got the source code just fine, but when I right click to view source code on the demo 1 page. It gives me the entire page instead of just the little block.
How did you get that block to just load 1 on the page is my question?
 Here's the code for it. Where would I put the text in here to load inside the box?
Have you considered right-clicking on the page and selecting the View Source option?
Can you explain the difference between a widget, gadget, and plugin?
Widgets and gadgets allow me to just post the javascript, but plugins don't just let you copy the code into a site?
Thanks for the help, but it's worthless without a good layout. I need to just create content and keep studying my html/css until I can do that on it's own then move up to Javascript. I'm trying to move to fast at this point.

Hi guys,
This is more of a conceptual question:
If I want to animate the rotation of an entire playing board (a chess board with figures for example) by 90 degrees, am I better off rotating the individual fields of the board around its center point individually, or is there a way for me to take a 'screenshot' of the field and rotate that as a single picture? I would have the code rotate the actual values of the board separately from the animation (once the animation was done, I would just redraw the screen with everything now in the right positions).
I hope my question is understandable. I have just started programming a couple of days ago and have so far only done text based games, but want to move onto GUI based games,
thank you in advance, your help is very much appreciated,

Light plays a significant role in the lives of the living beings. During daytime, sun is the most important source of light for all beings. And at night, people use lamps to get light. Yet, some miraculous beings in nature are able to produce their own light in their bodies as a blessing granted by Almighty Allah. At times, this light is so powerful that these animals might be easily detected in the satellite shot photos.
Well, how is this light formed in their bodies? Some animals in nature produce light as a result of a chemical reaction in their bodies. These beings are the signs of a perfect Creation by Our Lord and thus they draw most attention in the world of science. Yet, how does this process of bioluminescence as called by scientists take place?
How is Bioluminescence Formed?
The light is produced on the same basic principle anywhere in the universe. Electrons play a leading part in the formation of light. When an electron absorbs the energy, it moves up a level in its atomic orbit. As it settles down, it leaves an energy package called photon . Electrons are thermally affected in the Sun or in the white-hot bulb wire. As a result, light releases also heat. Whereas, in bioluminescence known as "cold light", electrons perform a chemical reaction releasing no heat. And therefore, contrary to a bulb that converts the 3% of the energy to light and %97 of it to heat, the energy produced by bioluminescence is almost completely converted to light.
Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction formed by the cooperation of a light-producing molecule called luciferin and the catalyser enzyme luciferase enzyme and by the attachment of oxygen molecule to that interaction.
That is why, the glowing animals either produce light by using these chemicals in their bodies or establish a particular relationship with the bacteria that are capable of producing light. These bacteria live in the light organ of the glowing animals and they constantly glow. When the animal wants to turn the lights off, it simply takes the light organ in; whereas some cover this organ with eyelid-like parts of skin in their bodies.
Some use the fluorescent method to produce light. Yet, this does not work the same as bioluminescence.
In bioluminescence, two or more substances come together forming light; whereas in fluorescence, matter absorbs the light of a single color and reflect it as a different color.
Glowing Creatures Produce Light in Different Colors
When luciferin molecule and the luciferas enzyme are interacted during the process of bioluminescence, they emit different colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple by entering into different chemical reactions. At this point, we see another sign of the Almighty Allah's wonderful Creation. As these colors are created as most suited for the environment of the living being.
The most common color of light in the oceanic creatures is blue. The reason is that blue is the color that has the most propagation feature in water as it has a short wave. However, a deep water fish called "Jawel Fish" glows in red. This is due to the fact that this fish lives in the places of ocean where light is never or hardly reaches. As it is impossible to see the blue color in these dark zones. Our Lord created the glowing feature of this fish as most fitting to its environment.
Allah's supreme knowledge of Creation is announced in the below verse of Holy Qur'an:
He is the Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on something, He just says to it, 'Be!' and it is. (Surat Al-Baqara, 117)
Bioluminescence Inspires Technology
Some beings are able to produce light in various ways. And by Allah's will, scientists have been planning to attain this feature of their technologically by doing long time researches upon these living beings. Some of the areas that have adopted the bioluminescence feature is as follows:
Planting trees that glow at night on the roadsides, in order to save from the electric bill.
Crops and tamed plants that glow when they need to be watered.
Methods to detect bacteria in food.
There have been studies on cancer and Alzheimer by adopting the feature of bioluminescence to the beings that do not have this ability. Depending on the results of this research, bioluminescence will be used in medicine, as well.
In John Hopkins University, there is research on bacterias with bioluminescence feature. The aim of this research is to develop a technology that will detect the location of mines. The bacteria will be used to locate the mine releasing a chemical called NO2 gas.
A bacterium called "Photobacterium Phosphoreum" is used to measure the pollution rate of water by means microtox toxicity tests. In this test, the light of the organism decreases when exposed to toxin.
Also the bioluminescence is often used in ornaments and accessories. The light sticks that are used to show the way to airplanes at airports also produce light in a very similar way to bioluminescence.
Our Lord is the Creator of Everything in the Most Unique Way
All living beings have splendid details, different from one another. When we look closely at a being, we come across with many miracles of Creation in every single detail. Bioluminescence is only one of the thousands of miracles of Creation Our Lord creates.

Unless you've been living under a rock or you've given up on the Mets way too early this season, you'll know that they'll tussle with the Phillies this weekend for control of the division.
Some think it'll be a successful weekend if the Mets can win just one game. I think they can take two. The pitching matchups seem to favor it.
Jon Niese will face Kyle Kendrick and his 7.71 ERA tonight. He's allowed at least five runs in four starts so far this season. Two of those came against the Nationals.
The marquee matchup will be Saturday afternoon when 4-0 Mike Pelfrey faces off against Phillies ace Roy Halladay, 4-1. Halladay is a tough customer because he pitches deep and he's stingy. He only allowed three runs in his first four starts. He hasn't been totally invincible as he was tagged with five runs in his last outing vs. the Giants.
Pelfrey, of course, is no slouch, either. He'll try to extend his scoreless streak to five straight games and lower that ERA below 0.69.
Jamie Moyer and Johan Santana will wrap things up on Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN. This will be the third straight Sunday of the Mets being featured on that program. Perhaps they felt gypped after last week's game was rained out.
Even if Pelfrey doesn't top Halladay, you gotta like the Mets' chances of coming out of Philadelphia a game a half in front of the Phils. What both teams have to watch out for is Washington. They're right in the thick of things and could leapfrog both teams if they can sweep the Marlins. Or, if the Marlins can turn the tables, they could be in a tie for first.
How many games do you think the Mets will win against the Phillies?

To the Editor:
Ten years after George W. Bush and his foreign policy advisors planned to invade the Iraqi people months before Sept. 11, 2001 and seize their oil for the powers that be, thousands have needlessly died and trillions of dollars cunningly dispersed.
Yet the conspirators did this with complete impunity and now theyre in on dividing up the rest of the take 110 billion barrels of oil. Meanwhile, since many of the troops have come home the U.S. taxpayers are obliged to pay thousands of corporate mercenaries up to a thousand dollars a day or roughly $3.2 billion a year, counting the most expensive embassy in the world, to protect it for those privileged few.
Still the Republican Presidential contenders are turning to this team of sideshow veterans for their foreign policy advice, the architects of the prearranged wars. Mitt Romney is calling on Cofer Black, the chairman of a firm that is a subsidiary of Blackwater/Worldwide, the same Blackwater whose mercenaries massacred unarmed Iraqi civilians. Then add Robert Kagan and Bill Kristol, two neo-cons with Kristol being one of the founders of Project for the New American Century that promoted full-scale military action on the war-ravaged Iraqi people. Hes also using Walid Phares as an advisor, a Fox News talking head.
And theres Newt Gingrich, the mop-haired caricature undone by petulance and hypocrisy while carrying on an extramarital affair who was not only in favor of the terrorist war on Iraq from the beginning that killed children, seniors, et al., but is now advocating doing the same to Iran as does the purported pious Rick Santorum. Meanwhile Rick Perrys relying on Donald Rumsfeld and Dough Feith who persuaded the Bush administration to make Saddam Husseins weapons of mass destruction the rationale for going to warall intentionally fraudulent.
Inasmuch to witness all the wrongdoing and the innumerable many that fall for no reason is convincing. Enough so that every man make it his business to understand, to do his own thinking and take little traditional wisdom and orthodoxies for granted. Were all victims, but if we remain true to our moral imperatives and rebel against perpetual oppression and injustice while standing up for the dispossessed, poor and weak, even to failwe win.

A Grassy Trend in Human Ancestors' Diets
Tooth enamel shows surprising change in our ancient buffet
Most apes eat leaves and fruits from trees and shrubs.
But new studies show that human ancestors expanded their menu 3.5 million years ago, adding tropical grasses and sedges to an ape-like diet. The change set the stage for consuming more modern fare: grains, grasses, and meat and dairy from grazing animals.
In four studies of carbon isotopes in fossilized tooth enamel from scores of human ancestors and baboons in Africa from 4 million to 10,000 years ago, researchers found a surprise increase in the consumption of grasses and sedges--plants that resemble grasses and rushes but have stems with triangular cross sections.
"At last, we have a look at 4 million years of the dietary evolution of humans and their ancestors," says University of Utah geochemist Thure Cerling, lead author of two of four papers published online today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Funding was primarily from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Divisions of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, Earth Sciences and Integrative Organismal Systems.
"For a long time, primates stuck by the old restaurants--leaves and fruits--but by 3.5 million years ago, they started exploring new diet possibilities--tropical grasses and sedges--that grazing animals discovered a long time before, about 10 million years ago," Cerling says, when African savanna began expanding.
"Tropical grasses provided a new set of restaurants. We see an increasing reliance on this resource by human ancestors, one that most primates still don't use today."
Grassy savannas and grassy woodlands in East Africa were widespread by 6 million to 7 million years ago. A major question is why human ancestors didn't start exploiting savanna grasses until less than 4 million years ago.
The isotope method cannot distinguish what parts of grasses and sedges human ancestors ate--leaves, stems, seeds and/or underground storage organs such as roots or rhizomes.
The method also can't help with determining when human ancestors began getting much of their grass through eating grass-eating insects or meat from grazing animals.
Direct evidence of human ancestors scavenging meat doesn't appear until 2.5 million years ago, and definitive evidence of hunting dates to only about 500,000 years ago.
With the new findings, "we know much better what they were eating, but mystery does remain," says Cerling.
"We don't know if they were pure herbivores or carnivores, if they were eating fish [which leave a tooth signal that looks like grass-eating], if they were eating insects, or if they were eating mixes of all these."
Why our ancestors' diets matter
The earliest human ancestor to consume substantial amounts of grassy foods from dry, more open savannas "may signal a major and ecological and adaptive divergence from the last common ancestor we shared with African great apes, which occupy closed, wooded habitats," writes geologist Jonathan Wynn, lead author of one of the papers.
Wynn is currently a program director in NSF's Division of Earth Sciences, on leave from the University of South Florida.
"Diet has long been implicated as a driving force in human evolution," says Matt Sponheimer, an anthropologist at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
He notes that changes in diet have been linked to larger brain size and the advent of upright walking in human ancestors roughly 4 million years ago.
Human brains were larger than those of other primates by the time our genus, Homo, evolved 2 million years ago. (Our species, Homo sapiens, arose 200,000 years ago.)
"If diet has anything to do with the evolution of larger brain size and intelligence, then we are considering a diet that is very different than we were thinking about 15 years ago," says Cerling. At the time, it was believed that human ancestors ate mostly leaves and fruits.
How the studies were performed: you are what you eat
The new studies analyze carbon isotopes in 173 teeth in 11 species of hominins.
Hominins are humans, our ancestors and extinct relatives that split from other apes roughly 6 million years ago.
Some of the analyses were done in previous research, but the new studies include new carbon-isotope results for 104 teeth from 91 individuals of eight hominin species.
Those teeth are in African museums and were studied by two groups of scientists working at separate early human sites in East Africa.
Wynn wrote the paper about teeth from Ethiopia's Hadar-Dikika area, where research is led by Arizona State University's William Kimbel and California Academy of Sciences scientist Zeresenay Alemseged.
Cerling wrote the paper about teeth from the Turkana Basin in Kenya, where the research team is led by Turkana Basin Institute paleoanthropologist Meave Leakey, Cerling and geologist Frank Brown of the University of Utah. Cerling also wrote a paper about baboon diets. Sponheimer wrote a fourth paper, summarizing the other three.
The method of determining ancient creatures' diets from carbon isotope data is less than 20 years old, and is based on the idea that "you are what you eat," Sponheimer says.
Tiny amounts of tooth enamel were drilled from already broken fossil teeth of museum specimens of human ancestors and relatives.
The powder was placed in a mass spectrometer to learn ratios of carbon isotopes incorporated into tooth enamel via diet.
Ratios of rare carbon-13 to common carbon-12 reveal whether an animal ate plants that used so-called C3, C4 or CAM photosynthesis to convert sunlight to energy.
Animals eating C4 and CAM plants have enriched amounts of carbon-13.
C3 plants include trees, bushes and shrubs and their leaves and fruits; most vegetables; cool-season grasses and grains such as timothy, alfalfa, wheat, oats, barley and rice; soybeans; non-grassy herbs and forbs.
C4 plants are warm-season or tropical grasses and sedges and their seeds, leaves or storage organs like roots and tubers. C4 plants are common in African savannas and deserts.
C4 grasses include Bermuda grass and sorghum. C4 grains include corn and millet.
CAM plants include tropical succulent plants such as cactus, salt bush and agave.
Today, North Americans eat about half C3 plants, including vegetables, fruits and grains such as wheat, oats, rye and barley, and about half C4 plants, which largely come from corn, sorghum and meat animals fed on C4 grasses and grains.
The highest human C3 diets are in northern Europe, where only C3 cool-season grasses grow, so meat animals there graze on them rather than on C4 tropical grasses.
The highest C4 diets likely are in Central America because of the heavily corn-based diet.
If early humans ate grass-eating insects or large grazing animals like zebras, wildebeest and buffalo, it also would appear they ate C4 grasses.
If they ate fish that ate algae, it would give a false appearance of grass-eating because of the way algae takes up carbonate from water, Cerling says.
If they ate small antelope and rhinos that browsed on C3 leaves, it would appear they ate C3 trees-shrubs.
Small mammals such as hyrax, rabbits and rodents would have added C3 and C4 signals to the teeth of human ancestors.
The findings: a dietary history of human ancestors and relatives
Humans: the only surviving primates with a C4 grass diet
Cerling's results show that while human ancestors ate more grasses and other apes stuck with trees and shrubs, two extinct Kenyan baboons represent the only primate genus that ate primarily grasses and perhaps sedges throughout its history.
Theropithecus brumpti ate a 65 percent tropical grass-and-sedge diet when the baboons lived between four million and 2.5 million years ago, contradicting previous claims that they ate forest foods.
Theropithecus oswaldi ate a 75 percent grass diet by two million years ago and a 100 percent grass diet by one million years ago. Both species went extinct, perhaps due to competition from hooved grazing animals.
Modern Theropithecus gelada baboons live in Ethiopia's highlands, where they eat only C3 cool-season grasses.
Cerling notes that primate tropical grass-eaters--Theropithecus baboonsand Paranthropus human relatives--went extinct while human ancestors ate an increasingly grass-based diet.
Why is an open question.
Additional support for the research came from many other organizations, including the National Geographic Society and the Leakey Foundation.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/8/2013 (1454 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I have some excellent weather-related news for heavily perspiring Winnipeggers.
Even though we've all been sweating like Mike Tyson at a Grade 3 spelling bee and birds have been bursting into flames mid-air, I am pleased to inform you that, technically, Winnipeg has not been hotter than hell.
Before anyone takes offence and lunges at me with a pitchfork, I will point out I am referring here to my favourite U.S. community -- Hell, Mich., located about 20 kilometres south of Ann Arbor and home to roughly 72 devilishly nice citizens, a bar and a general store.
On Friday, Hell was a sweltering 31 C, whereas we were hovering around 26 C, which is still nicely above our normal high of 22 C as summer slowly draws to an end. Today, according to Environment Canada, we are looking at a 60 per cent chance of showers with a risk of a thunderstorm and a slightly above-normal high of 24 C.
So, yes, Winnipeg, it is hotter than normal; but, no, we definitely are not hotter than Hell. At least not yet.
It appears our late-summer hot spell is going to continue for another week, with a few minor interruptions. On Sunday, we'll see a few clouds and a high of 22 C, which is spot-on normal. But we're talking sun the rest of the week and, on Thursday, a blistering high of 30 C.
While everyone needs to take precautions to deal with the heat, Natalie Hasell, a warning-preparedness meteorologist for Environment Canada, said we likely won't see the sweltering Humidex levels we recorded last week. "Basically, our humidity levels are going to be reasonable again," Hasell told me Friday. "I don't think we'll see a really high Humidex."
Hasell said while it's been extremely hot in Winnipeg recently, it hasn't been record-breaking hot. We've had about eight days at or above 30 C so far in August, with the mercury hitting 34.1 C on the 28th, our hottest day of the summer so far. Outside the city, some heat records have certainly been melted. In Victoria Beach, it hit a stunning 38.3 C on Aug. 28, making it Canada's hot spot that day.
As always, there's a lot of late-summer fun in store for the Labour Day weekend, starting with TJ's Gift Foundation: Rockin for Choices, an anti-drug themed concert that runs from noon to 9 p.m. today at the Lyric Theatre in Assiniboine Park. Or head out to Oak Hammock Marsh this weekend to see thousands of shorebirds getting ready for migration. They'll have horse-drawn wagon rides on Labour Day from 1:30 p.m to 5 p.m. Speaking of animals, pet owners are invited to bring their best friends to Central Park at 10:30 a.m. Sunday for a blessing-of-the-pets ceremony hosted by Knox Church.
On Labour Day Monday, the Winnipeg Art Gallery is hosting a street party to mark the final day of its amazing 100 Masters: Only in Canada exhibition. We're talking live music, chalk artists and food vendors, and the gallery will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the exhibit, featuring a who's who of the art world.
And if it isn't hot enough for your liking, you can always go to Hell, where I've been told the local watering hole, the Dam Site Inn, only charges 50 cents for a beer after 9 p.m. Now that's a hell of a deal.

Catfish in Lake Fork? Who Knew?
ATHENS—Stan Kuhn knew. So did Kenneth Jones. Both Lake Fork fishing guides have been putting clients on Lake Fork's plentiful blue, channel and flathead catfish for years.
Most people think of big bass when they think of Lake Fork, and for good reason. The lake has produced 246 of the 504 entries into the Toyota ShareLunker program, an angler recognition and selective breeding program that uses 13-pound or bigger bass.
Even bigger fish lurk in Lake Fork, and all of them have whiskers. Rod-and-reel anglers have landed blue catfish weighing 71.5 pounds, channel cats weighing 17.73 pounds and flathead catfish tipping the scale at 75 pounds. From Lake Fork, the Bass Capital of the World.
Trotliners have done even better. The all-tackle record for Lake Fork blue catfish is 89 pounds, for channel catfish 25.33 pounds and for flatheads 100 pounds.
Even fly-fishers have gotten into the act, using wooly buggers and flashy clousers to land catfish in excess of eight pounds.
Lake Fork really shines, though, when it comes to producing "eating-size" catfish, those from the legal 12-inch length weighing about a pound on up to 10 pounds or so. Guides Kuhn (903/383-2921) and Jones (214/850-5525) regularly put clients onto fishing spots that can fill up an ice chest in a hurry. On a recent trip on Lake Fork, Kuhn's three anglers caught 38 channel cats weighing a total of 101 pounds from the same hole in little over two hours.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Inland Fisheries biologist Aaron Jubar wants anglers to take advantage of Lake Fork's bounty.
"Throughout its history, Lake Fork has been synonymous with trophy largemouth bass, and anglers have long known about the excellent crappie fishery in the reservoir," Jubar said. "Over the past decade, we have watched the catfish population explode with an abundance of harvestable channel catfish, but the number of anglers targeting these fish remains relatively low. We want to make anglers aware of this opportunity. This fishery is nothing short of phenomenal, and it gives anglers even more reason to visit Lake Fork."
In addition to Lake Fork, numerous other lakes in Texas provide anglers with outstanding catfish fishing, according to Dave Terre, TPWD's chief of management and research for Inland Fisheries. "I think most of our larger reservoirs are under-exploited for catfish, especially channel catfish," Terre said. "It blows me away to see the quality of our catfish populations. Clearly, we have some of the best catfishing opportunities in the country."
For those who can't make it to a large lake to fish or just want to fish an hour or two close to home with friends or family, TPWD provides the Neighborhood Fishin' program. Channel catfish are stocked into selected lakes every two weeks during most of the year in nine urban areas. In addition, catfish are stocked annually into dozens of community fishing lakes in every part of the state. Visit http://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/recreational/wheretofish/ to find fishing opportunities near you.

DETROIT - Wayne County Commissioners are scheduled to vote Thursday on whether Executive Robert Ficano should be censured.
Regardless of what the Commissioners vote on, whether it's asking Ficano to resign or just a slap on the wrist, the vote will do nothing but show displeasure. That's because such votes can't enforce anything.
Thursday's vote won't necessarily be on whether the county executive should resign. They are likely only to vote on whether the Commission should censure him.
Read: Wayne County Commission's resolution
Originally, Commission Vice Chair Pro-Tem Laura Cox was asking for Ficano to step down for what she calls "the good of the country."
Cox was backed by five other Commissioners at the last meeting.
Ficano has repeatedly said he won't resign. He said that's because he's done nothing wrong.

- Two teens found guilty in Steubenville rape case
Two teens found guilty in Steubenville rape case
NOTE: This article contains graphic content that may be triggering for some readers.
By Steve Almasy and Brian Vitagliano
Steubenville, Ohio (CNN) -- Two Steubenville high school football players accused of raping an allegedly drunk 16-year-old girl were found guilty by an Ohio judge on Sunday.
Judge Thomas Lipps announced his decision after reviewing evidence presented over four days of testimony in the case against 17-year-old Trent Mays and 16-year-old Ma'lik Richmond, who were tried as juveniles.
The victim was not in the courtroom when the ruling was read.
Mays and Richmond were tried before Lipps, a visiting judge, without a jury. The trial moved quickly -- and through the weekend -- to accommodate the judge's schedule.
Mays was also found guilty of disseminating a nude photo of a minor.
"Human compassion is not taught by a teacher, a coach or a parent. It is a God-given gift instilled in all of us," the victim's mother said after court was adjourned. "You displayed not only a lack of this compassion, but a lack of any moral code."
The woman said her daughter will persevere and move on, adding that she has pity for Mays and Richmond.
Mays was sentenced to a minimum of two years in a juvenile correctional facility. Richmond was sentenced to a minimum of one year, but like Mays could be in detention until he is 21.
The Department of Youth services will rule whether the two boys will be detained longer, Lipps said, adding it will depend on their behavior and rehabilitation.
Mays and Richmond will be credited for the time they had served before the trial.
Richmond's father told CNN that his son was doing OK.
"I told Ma'lik to put all his trust in God. God will see him through this," Nate Richmond said. "I told him that I love him, basically. And to be strong."
The ruling brings an end to a trial that has gained national attention for its lurid text messages, cell phone pictures and videos, and social media posts surrounding the sexual abuse of the girl.
Mays and Richmond were accused of raping the girl during a series of end-of-summer parties in August 2012.
According to prosecutors, each of them penetrated the victim's vagina with his fingers, an act that constitutes rape under Ohio law if it is not consensual.
Attorneys for the two boys had said they were not guilty.
CNN's policy is not to identify alleged victims of sexual assault. CNN is not naming the minors who have testified but is identifying Mays and Richmond, whose names have been used by court officials, their attorneys and in multiple media accounts.
At the heart of the case was the question of whether the victim was too drunk on the night of August 11 and the early morning of August 12 to understand what was happening to her and to consent.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said more charges in the case could be forthcoming. He intends to call a grand jury to hear more evidence.
"We cannot bring finality to this case without convening a grand jury," he said. He said there were 16 people who had refused to talk to investigators.
He called the case a tragedy made even worse because the victim was revictimized through social media.
The victim testified Saturday that she remembered little about the night because she was drunk.
During closing statements on Saturday, attorneys for the two boys argued the state failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that their clients raped the girl, calling into question the victim's credibility.
They also questioned whether an avalanche of cell pictures and videos and social media posts available in the days after the rape, as well as national media coverage ahead of the trial, tainted testimony.
But prosecutors told the judge there is no question the girl was "substantially impaired."
"The things that made her an imperfect witness -- that she doesn't remember a lot -- made her in every sense of the word a perfect victim," prosecutor Marianne Hemmeter said.
The girl testified Saturday that she remembered drinking at the first big party of the night and then holding Mays' hand as she left with him, Richmond and others.
The next thing she remembers, she told the court, is waking up in the morning naked on a couch in an unfamiliar house. She covered herself with a blanket while she looked for her clothes. She testified she could not find her underwear, earrings or cell phone.
She testified she was "too embarrassed to ask what happened that night because I didn't remember."
The girl told the court she had a flashback memory of throwing up in a street somewhere sometime after she left the first party.
The victim was the 28th and final witness in a trial that has shone an unwelcome spotlight on Steubenville, a down-on-its-luck town along the Ohio River, and the Steubenville High School football team known locally as "Big Red."
Critics have accused community leaders of trying to paper over rampant misconduct by players of the highly regarded "Big Red" football team and have suggested that other students took part in the assaults or failed to do enough to stop them.
The case has attracted the attention of bloggers and even the loosely organized hacking group Anonymous, who have questioned everything from the behavior of the football team to the integrity of the investigation.
But during closing arguments Saturday, Hemmeter cast aside the outside attention.
"This case isn't about a YouTube video. This case isn't about social media. This case isn't about Big Red football," she told the judge.
"This case is about a 16-year-old girl who was taken advantage of, toyed with and humiliated. And it's time people who did this to her are held responsible."
Earlier in the day, attorneys for Mays and Richmond challenged the credibility of the victim, calling two of the 16-year-old girl's former best friends to testify.
One witness, a 17-year-old, testified the victim told her she believed she had been drugged the night of the assault, an allegation the witness said she did not believe because the girl "lies about things."
A hospital test on the victim for drugging came back negative, testimony revealed.
The teen witnesses, who described themselves as classmates and former best friends of the girl, told the court they saw the victim drinking. She drank at least four shots of vodka, two beers and some of a slushy mixed with vodka, a 16-year-old witness said.
The defense attempted to question the two teens about the victim's past history, but the judge did not allow most of the line of questioning. Ohio, like most states, has a rape shield law that limits the amount of information of an alleged victim's past that can be explored in court.
The 17-year-old witness said she picked the victim up the next morning from someone's home and asked her what happened.
In the car, the victim said, "We didn't have sex, I swear. I don't know what happened. I don't remember," the teen testified.
On Friday, three teens, all self-described friends of the co-defendants, testified that they saw Mays and Richmond engage in sexual contact with the girl. All three have been granted immunity from prosecution.
One of the witnesses -- identified as a 17-year-old Steubenville football player and wrestler -- testified that he used his cell phone to record Mays putting his fingers inside the girl's vagina during a drive from one party to another. He said he deleted the video the next morning when he realized it was wrong.
The teen also testified that Mays later attempted to have the girl perform a sex act on him in the basement of a home.
"She didn't really respond to it," he said.

A9 TV; March 15th, 2012
(Atheists in America hanging giant posters that deny Allah and religion –Allaåh is beyond that)
That is a portent of the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Our Prophet (saas) revealed in the hadiths. He says, "Unless Allah is openly and explicitly denied, Mahdi will not emerge." So they have waged a war against Allah in their own opinion. What will Mahdism do? It will crush them with knowledge and science. I will destroy their system in their own place insha'Allah, with knowledge, intelligence and wisdom.
The dajjal (anti-christ)'s true defining quality is his destruction. Hazrat Mahdi (as)'s true defining quality is his renovation. You will understand Hazrat Mahdi (as) from his renovation and you will understand the dajjal from his destruction. These are their main features.
(Answer to the question, "You are saying that Hazrat Mahdi (as) is also mentioned in the Torah, but could he not be the Prophet Mohammad (saas) whom you mentioned? Because those words describing King Messiah are completely in line with the Prophet Mohammad (saas).")
But now our Prophet (saas) is saying this himself. He says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) is mentioned in the Torah and the Psalm. Our Prophet (saas) is saying this himself. We are in the position to say this using the words of our Prophet (saas). We will listen to that word, we will listen to the word of our Prophet (saas) because look, he is saying, "King Messiah will be the master of the world." He will reign over the whole world. Our Prophet (saas) reigned over a certain part of the world in his time. And there will only remain one religion. No religion other than Islam will remain.
Islam will reign throughout the world. Freemasons are saying; "Master we know; this information was provided in our books. Information about these times also exists with us. These are also written on stone tablets." He brought me a picture; a picture of a man with masonic clothing. It is a stone that is almost 2,500 years old. He has masonic clothes on him. There is also a date there; it says 2012. They openly wrote it down. They say, "We also know the location; it is Istanbul", insha'Allah. Practitioners of Kaballah also came and said, "The location is clearly Istanbul." We looked at the Torah. In the Torah, it says, "Rome." It says, "O Messiah! Open the doors of Rome." It says, "Open the doors of Istanbul". It says, "Do no look for him in Israel."
One with strong love for women in this world will also have love for women in a strong way in the hereafter insha'Allah. Women are one of the greatest blessings of the garden. Actually some people are afraid of using such a manner of expression. Sexuality is not something to be ashamed of. It is bad if it is not legitimate. As long as it is legitimate, it is the greatest blessing. Our Prophet (saas) says; "Good smell, prayer and woman." Our Prophet (saas) says, "These three, I am made to love."
"Good women". Of course, not a mindless and negative woman; that would be very disturbing; it is a torture. Therefore, our Prophet (saas) pointed that out and he says, "Good women." Sincere. Because with a sincere woman, her true beauty is displayed. When she is not sincere, she has a bad attitude, assumes a pose, acts mean, makes an insinuation, worries about silly things and acts like a crazy person. But there would always be a positive, nice and warm electricity with a sincere woman. She would be very sweet. It is a great blessing. Of course a good man is also like that for a woman.

MISSION VIEJO – Richard Burrow's resume doesn't quite read like the typical architect's might.
Dance in a bear suit? Check. Carry the canopy of lights above Cinderella during the Main Street Electrical Parade? Check.
Craft alphabet stamps in the shape of castles? Create a grown-up version of a Lincoln Logs cabin? Design Rose Parade floats? Check, check and check.
It's that last one that has the Mission Viejo resident excited. He recently found out his latest float design – a child on an undersea journey – was selected by the Burbank Tournament of Roses Association for its 2013 Rose Parade float. Next year's theme is "Oh the Places You'll Go," based on the Dr. Seuss book.
"Being an architect, I like to draw," Burrow, 53, said. "I remember seeing the floats and thinking, 'That'd be fun to do.' What was attractive to me is I didn't have to abide by a lot of the rules you have to abide by as an architect. You don't have to be realistic."
Proficient at math in high school, Burrow followed his sister to Cal State Fullerton as a math major. He took a theater class there and saw a job posting for a summer Disneyland job; thus the Main Street parade gig – and a few others, like the dancing bear – for three summers.
Eventually, Burrow's creative side won out over his math skills: "After a few years I was like, 'Why am I doing this? I don't know what I'm going to do with it,'" he said.
He shifted to architecture and Cal Poly Pomona, where he also joined the university's Rose Float club. The group collaborates with a team from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to design, construct and decorate a Rose Parade float each year. They are one of six organizations that build their own floats rather than contract with float construction companies.
The year he graduated, 1983, Burrow submitted his first two designs to his alma mater. Both were rejected. Burrow left float design behind and concentrated on building a successful career as an architect, eventually starting his own firm and designing projects ranging from room additions in San Juan Capistrano to a custom log home in Colorado.
Fast forward nearly three decades to an unfriendly economy. Burrow, without much work, was missing the creative process.
"I remember watching the parade and thinking, 'I can do better than some of the designs, you know, I can do better than that,'" he said. "I remember saying a little prayer asking for a design project. And I thought it was going to be a custom home or something, but the answer to my prayer was a float."
In 2011, Burrow submitted three fresh designs to Cal Poly Pomona for the 2012 parade. Again, he lost. This year, he decided to expand his options. He submitted two new designs to Burbank, and split his 2011 designs between South Pasadena and Sierra Madre, two other cities that build their own Rose Parade floats. The designs took four to six hours to sketch, Burrow said.
The contests required simple, black and white sketches that could be accompanied by short descriptions. Designers weren't paid for their submissions, though the winner in Burbank receives two tickets to the Rose Parade.
The Burbank association received 71 submissions that were whittled to seven, said group historian Erik Andersen, who heads the association's design committee. He said they look for original designs that fit well with the parade theme and will look good in flowers. Through several rounds of voting, the association's 59 members selected Burrow's undersea adventure.
Andersen said Burrow's sketch featured the whimsy, cuteness and humor the organization is seeking for next year's float.
"Burbank has had huge success with cartoony-style floats, so that appeals to us also," Andersen said. "Since we've done floats like this in the past, we knew we could be successful in building it and the community will embrace it."
A float like the one Burrow designed typically would run $200,000-$300,000 if it were constructed by a professional float builder, according to Andersen. The nonprofit Burbank association – an all-volunteer organization whose float building space is donated by Burbank Water and Power – can get that cost down to $60,000-$70,000, a portion of which is covered by the city and the rest through fundraisers, Andersen said.
Burrow and the design committee are perfecting his concept, adding some elements and refining others, essentially putting a story to the sketch, Andersen said. The committee also must figure out how the float will be built. Two other committees then will take up construction and decoration.
If there's any message out of all this, Burrow said, it's that people should try something they've always wanted to try and if it doesn't work out, approach it from a new angle.
"I like to look for different options, because sometimes when you play around with different options, new discoveries show up that you didn't think about," he said.

DETECTIVES are continuing to interview the soldier arrested on suspicion of murdering a fellow soldier from the Tern Hill army barracks in Shropshire.
The 23-year-old remains in custody at Shrewsbury police station after magistrates this morning granted an extension to allow police more time for further inquiries.
A murder investigation was launched after the body of 32-year-old Corporal Geoffrey McNeill was found in an accommodation block at Clive Barracks shortly after 9am on Saturday (8 March).
The suspect was arrest at the barracks a short time later.
Detective Inspector Steve Tonks, the senior investigating officer from West Mercia Police, today renewed the appeal for information which might assist the police.

Guests also are frequently shown as doing things they aren't supposed to be able to do: view user control panel, view member profile, reply to a message. My conspiracy theory here is the software is creating these "people" to make the site look better. Or, non-conspiratorial, many guests are actual members who don't bother to sign in or ever post.
As to bots, I have seen Google Adsense supposedly responding to messages at least 5 times.

I wish there were something we could do about all this, but I doubt it is possible.

PHILADELPHIA - New year, new field, new feel for Penn's men's soccer team as the Quakers blanked Stony Brook, 2-0, in their season opener on Friday night.
Playing the program's first-ever match at Penn Park while Rhodes Field finishes up renovations, the Red and Blue put forth a quicker effort on the offensive side of the ball while shoring up a defense which at times struggled in 2013 for a positive result to begin the new campaign.
Louis Schott netted Penn's first goal of 2013 in the 44th minute, connecting flush on a strike at the top of the box which went straight to the upper 90 for what proved to be the game-winner.
Schott's score gave Penn a lead at halftime for the first time since its 7-2 win over Rider on Sept. 23 of last season. It was a well-deserved advantage at the break as the Quakers held an edge in shots, 11-4. Penn's veteran forward duo of Stephen Baker and Duke Lacroix combined for eight of Penn's shots in the first half, heaping copious amounts of pressure on Stony Brook's keeper, Jason Orban. Penn scoring play came off a set piece, capping the sixth corner taken in the first half by the Quakers. At the end of 90', the Quakers earned nine corners to just three for the Sea Wolves.
Seven minutes into the second half, Jason deFaria headed in his first career goal, flicking in a free kick from Austin Kinn to give the Quakers some breathing room and giving Penn two goals of set pieces in the match.
Austin's twin brother Tyler Kinn made the pair of goals stand up with five second-half saves for his first career clean sheet. Kinn now has four wins in eight career starts in goal for the Quakers, and is 3-1 in matches played at home.
The shutout for the Quakers is the first in 26 matches for the Quakers – also against Stony Brook at home on Sept. 24, 2011. Kinn and Penn's defensive group earned the clean sheet over the match's final minutes, coming up with three saves in the final five minutes of play and denying a Stony Brook corner.
The Red and Blue will cap the 2013 Sheraton University City Penn Soccer Classic with a match against Sacred Heart on Sunday, Sept. 8 at 2:30 p.m. at Penn Park. The Pioneers defeated Drexel, 2-1, on Friday night in Penn Soccer Classic match, making Sunday's tilt for the championship.

Blogger Spotlight: Gina Matsoukas from Running to the Kitchenby Allison Milam in Uncategorized, August 10, 2012
After gaining inspiration from healthy blogs, Gina Matsoukas embarked on a major lifestyle change two years ago. Ever since, Gina has been an avid runner and a healthy eater—with a healthy blog to match. Gina's goals don't stop at her own body. She created Running to the Kitchen to share her healthy lifestyle and to demonstrate the possibilities within reach for everyone. With each post, she inspires others with her wholesome recipes, exercise musings and excitement for healthy living.
What are some of the healthy blogs that inspired you to adopt a healthier lifestyle?
Some of the first healthy living blogs I read were Kath Eats Real Food, fANNEtastic Food and Daily Garnish. Those were just the tip of the iceberg though, there were hundreds that I found through those girls that I could literally get lost in for days at a time. I'd look up after starting to read one and realize it had been an hour. Total time suck. But those initial three really opened my eyes to healthy food and making exercise fun again.
How has writing a blog helped you keep up with your own health and wellness?
I first started Running to the Kitchen because I wanted to help inspire others by telling my story through healthy food and workouts. What I didn't realize at the time was how much I'd be inspired myself to constantly keep up with it. I have a Google Reader filled blogs with that range from healthy eating to fitness to baking. All of them inspire me in one way or another on a daily basis. I just joined a CrossFit gym that opened nearby, something I would never even have heard of if it wasn't for blogs. I'm also part of a group called FitFluential that has over 800 ambassadors, all of us "fitness minded" in some way, shape or form. It's a group that connects on different social media platforms and events and has been such a huge source of inspiration for me, whether it's in the form of an impromptu workout, a creative recipe or help with blogging related things. At the risk of sounding completely lame for talking about people (most of whom I've never met) this way, blogging has helped me feel like part of community that continually supports my health and wellness efforts.
How would you describe your approach to healthy eating? Do you eat differently now than you did two years ago?
Healthy eating for me has been a continuously evolving process. Three years ago, I found myself about twenty pounds overweight and literally had one of those "a-ha" moments after seeing pictures of myself on my family's summer beach vacation. At first, healthy eating meant calorie counting. After plateauing 10 pounds later, healthy eating transitioned into a focus on whole foods rather than a certain calorie amount. I literally emptied my pantry of 90% of the processed, packaged stuff and restocked it with whole grains from the bulk bin section of natural foods store. My produce drawer wouldn't close most of the time I stocked it with so many vegetables. Once the entire 20 pounds was off, which has been about two years now, I experimented with a handful of approaches to eating from vegetarian to pescatarian to Paleo. At the end of the day however, I don't like putting a label on how I eat. I focus on whole, local foods, lots of vegetables, fruit and proteins, limited amounts of sugar. It's a simple approach and I feel the best when eating that way.
How do you come up with healthy recipes?
I'm always thinking about food! Most of the recipes on my blog are inspired by what I have on hand. I will literally stare at my fridge and pantry until an idea forms. What's in my fridge is usually dictated by season, so recently I've been making lots of things with fresh fruit and vegetables from the local CSA I joined this summer, but in the winter it will be an entirely different approach. Blogs are also a huge source of inspiration. Despite all of the food blogs I read, I actually don't tend to make a lot of what I see. They do however constantly give me ideas or a starting point which I inevitably end up tweaking based on what I have on hand, what I'm craving or in an attempt to make healthier.
How do you think Running to the Kitchen has helped others make healthy changes? Do you have any success stories?
My ultimate goal with my site is to inspire people to eat well without sacrificing flavor and to make healthy food enjoyable & approachable. I want people to be able to relate to what they see on Running to the Kitchen, whether that's through accessible, simple food or the story behind the recipe. I think by doing that, people feel like making changes to their lifestyle is possible. The best part about blogging is definitely seeing emails in my inbox from people who have tried a recipe that they "never would've thought about" and telling me they loved it. Or, someone telling me how my running story inspired them to start the Couch to 5K program. It's a great sense of satisfaction to know that all the work that goes into creating, photographing and writing a post actually affects someone's life in a positive way every now and then.
