Just a thought. What about HI: Humor Impaired? How are those people covered by both assistive technologies and authors? What can be done for them to also have an equal experience on web?
And I'm half joking: there are medical conditions making people unable to discern humor and irony.
Early phasehave difficulty understanding abstract concepts (that is, not understand humor as readily, or have difficulty understanding concepts such as the past and the future)
The UCSF team mapped their brains using magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, which showed associations between the deteriorations of particular parts of the brain and the inability to detect insincere speech.
N.B. HI, for real, stands for Hearing Impaired
Canned laughter links or pseudo markup: LML (Laughter Markup Language) I'd suspect the use of emotions (;) :lol:) for example and plain clear language. Are you trying to tell me Mitică you think you are showing 'signs' because you cannot determine sarcasm any more?
These are probably signs of me needing to take my self and the others a little less serious, Robert.
Plain clear language is dull. I was thinking something more along the lines of Accessible and Expressive Rich Internet Applications: AERIA.
<lol>I think you may be on to something </lol>
Not exactly what you are after: http://www.w3.org/TR/emotionml/
The WCAG itself doesn't really cover cognitive that much really and obviously catering specifically for some mental illnesses is beyond its scope so a more generic approach would be needed to help.
You betcha!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/8/2012 (1824 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There's no "mission accomplished" banner flying over Investors Group Field just yet, but the construction of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' new home is now expected to wrap in November.
The $190-million football stadium at the University of Manitoba should be substantially completed between Nov. 1 and Nov. 15, officials with the Winnipeg Football Club said this week.
While that's too late for the 2012 Canadian Football League season, the new stadium should be finished in time for the Bombers to vacate Canad Inns Stadium this year and be ready for 2013 in their new home, said Garth Buchko, president and CEO of the football club, and Ossama AbouZeid, the stadium's project manager and a member of the Winnipeg Football Club's board of directors.
With the east-side stands essentially finished and the west side nearing completion, one of the last major components remaining is the construction of the playing surface, a job expected to begin on Sept. 18 and wrap up by Oct. 15, weather permitting, AbouZeid said.
The job involves laying down 60 centimetres of gravel on the playing surface, covering it with 15 cm of rubber pellets and then laying down carpet-like artificial turf on top. Only a disaster will prevent this from getting done early this fall, AbouZeid said.
"To me, a disaster would be if we don't get the field in in October. I don't want to spend the whole winter worrying about the stadium," he said.
Even if Winnipeg experiences a freak early-season blizzard, contractor Stuart Olson Dominion Construction will heat the surface of the new stadium to allow the field to be built during the winter, AbouZeid added.
Along with completing the stands and filling in the field, workers plan to spend the next three weeks finishing administrative offices and several weeks completing luxury suites and the west-side dressing rooms, AbouZeid said.
Most of the work should wrap up by Nov. 1 and all but small jobs will be finished by Nov. 15, he said. Concessions and information-technology systems will be installed early in 2013, Buchko added.
After prematurely announcing the stadium would be ready in time for the 2012 season, the club president was hesitant to say the goal-line is near.
"I'll never guarantee anything anymore, when I'm told it's going to be done. Until I see the turf and I can walk on it, I'll believe it will be completed then," Buchko said. "I've been bit too often the last six months of this job."
One of the tasks still facing the stadium project manager is coming up with a way to ensure the concert capacity of the stadium is as large as possible. In order to attract the largest touring concerts, the new stadium needs to be able to house 35,000 to 45,000 fans, Buchko said.
The stadium design does not allow more than 6,000 or 7,000 concertgoers on the field level to quickly exit the venue, according to building codes, AbouZeid said. In an effort to get that number closer to 10,000, the club is working with True North Sports & Entertainment vice-president Kevin Donnelly and city building-code experts to come up with a solution that may involve the use of temporary stairs to allow fans off the field during concerts, said AbouZeid and Buchko.
Revenue from touring concerts is crucial for the Winnipeg Football Club, which is expected to begin making the first of its annual $4-million stadium-loan repayments to the province in 2013.
The province has fronted at least $160 million of the $190-million price tag for the venue. To pay back the loan, the Winnipeg Football Club is expected to raise $85 million plus interest over the next 40 years from luxury boxes, naming rights, entertainment taxes, facility fees and special events.
The rest of the loan -- $75 million, plus interest -- will be covered by new city and provincial property taxes flowing from the redevelopment of the Canad Inns Stadium site, which has been sold to Polo Park mall owner Cadillac Fairview and Winnipeg developer Shindico. U.S. retailer Target is a potential anchor tenant at the new development.
A provincial grant of $22.5 million and a $7.5-million city of Winnipeg grant will cover the remainder of the stadium's construction cost.
A looming legal dispute over construction delays between the contractor and a structural-steel subcontractor will not affect the overall project cost or the Winnipeg Football Club's ongoing business plan, Buchko said.

Would You Buy Lingerie from Penelope Cruz?
Penelope Cruz and her sister Monica are creating a new line of lingerie for Agent Provocateur.
-PJ Gach
Agent Provocateur's an English brand of lingerie. Created by Joe Corre, the son of Vivienne Westwood, the line doesn't flirt with, but rather embraces the wild and oh-so-naughty side that many women possess. The line which contains must-haves such as paddles, whips, eye masks, gloves, and pasties (yes, I am being sarcastic) aside from their usual offerings of garter belts, lingerie and frothy nightwear. Whilst many of their underpinnings are quite lovely and lust-inducing, they're also pricey. Bras can go as high as $300; slips can go for $490 and so on.
Read Get Florence Welch's 2012 LACMA Art & Film Gala Look
Now the brand is creating a lower-priced line for the rest of us. Prices shouldn't go higher than $64 for anything from L'Agent. Penelope Cruz and her sister Monica are collaborating with L'Agent's design team to create lingerie for the new firm and be their face of the brand,
Monica, a professional dancer, has modeled for the line before. Take a look at this short movie she did for Agent Provocateur. Triva note: The coachman is played by Iggy Pop.
This isn't the first time Penelope and Monica Cruz have worked for a clothing company. Back in 2007, the duo did a capsule clothing collection for Mango. They also worked with handbag line Samantha Thavasa creating a limited edition line for that company as well.
L'Agent hits stores in August 2013. Plenty of time for you to pile up a chunk of change… that is, if you want to snag the entire line.

A term used to describe the amount of time between when a person wakes up and when they go to sleep. It it useful when pulling all-nighters, or if your schedule is shifted and you are frequently awake late at night. It is more accurate to use this term if you frequently get your days mixed up, as it is often confusing to describe your "morning" or your "night" when you have witnessed many of them in a single sleep unit.
I haven't slept in 36 hours! I've written an 8-page paper, eaten 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and seen a movie, all in the same sleep unit!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/5/2013 (1559 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Some months back, there was a request for Gunn's Bakery applejacks. That recipe remains uncrackable, but some readers wrote in with other apple pastry possibilities.
A reader named Linda suggested a version using phyllo pastry, apples and cinnamon sugar. I also adapted a recipe for apple turnovers that can be baked or fried -- the deep-fried version is often called an applejack. The Gunn's version of the applejack remains a mystery, but for the time being, these recipes are both very tasty.
If you can help with a recipe request, have your own request, or a favourite recipe you'd like to share, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, fax it to 697-7412, or write to Recipe Swap, c/o Alison Gillmor, Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave. Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6. Please include your first and last name, address and telephone number.
Phyllo Apple Turnovers
2 large or 3 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped quite fine
5 ml (1 tsp) lemon juice
45 ml (3 tbsp) granulated sugar
15 ml (1 tbsp) all-purpose flour
2 ml (1/2 tsp) cinnamon
8 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed if frozen
45 ml (3 tbsp) melted butter
Granulated sugar or cinnamon sugar, for topping
Preheat oven to 200 C (400 F). Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. In small bowl, mix apples, lemon juice, sugar, flour and cinnamon and let sit for a few minutes to develop flavours. Place the stacked sheets of phyllo on a flat surface and cover with a damp (not wet) clean tea towel to keep phyllo from drying out. Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface. Lightly coat with melted butter. Top with another sheet. Cut this double sheet lengthwise into three 10-cm (4-inch) strips, each 40 cm (16 inches) long. Mound a generous 15 ml (1 tbsp) of filling at end of one strip near one corner. Fold opposite corner at same end over filling, forming a triangle. Continue folding your way up the strip, making repeated triangles, to the end. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 12 turnovers. Arrange turnovers seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon sugar. Bake 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden. Remove to wire rack to cool.
Tester's notes: These little turnovers are light and not too sweet. If using frozen phyllo, the best way to thaw it is in the package overnight in the fridge. If pushed, you can thaw in the package on the counter for 4-5 hours. This recipe calls for phyllo sheets that measure about 40 x 30 cm (16x12 inch), but you can work with other sizes. The important thing is to make sure the filling is folded up with multiple layers. Also, this recipe uses just part of a 454 g (1 lb) package, so you might want to plan some other phyllo dish to use the pastry up.
Apple Turnovers
500 ml (2 cups) all-purpose flour
10 ml (2 tsp) baking powder
2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
90 ml (6 tbsp) shortening
175 ml (3/4 cup) whole milk
175 ml (3/4 cup) store-bought or homemade apple butter or cooked apple pie filling (see tester's notes)
45 ml (3 tbsp) melted butter
Granulated sugar or cinnamon sugar, for topping
Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F). In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add the shortening and work into flour with fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the milk all at once and mix in with a spatula until dough begins to come together. Lightly flour your hands and work surface, turn out dough and knead, folding over 10 to 20 times. Roll the dough to about 8-12 mm (1/3-1/2 inch) thickness, then cut into rounds using a 6 cm (2 1/4 inch) cutter. Then roll out each round as thinly as possible to a circle 12-15 cm (5-6 inches) in diameter. Spoon a generous 15 ml (1 tbsp) filling onto dough circle, fold over into half-moon shape, seal edges together, and crimp with the tines of a fork. Snip or cut 3 slits in the top of the turnover to let steam escape. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon sugar. Place pies on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Tester's notes: Really good. Apple butter, which involves apples, sugar and a little spice cooked until caramelized and broken down, worked beautifully in these turnovers, as would your favourite cooked pie filling. If you want to try an uncooked apple filling, just make sure to chop apples quite finely, as with the recipe for phyllo apple turnovers, so that they can cook in the short baking time. For any turnover recipe, you need a filling that's not too chunky and that's moist but not wet. And be careful not to overfill or you'll end up with a mess.
If you want to make the deep-fried version of this turnover, often called an applejack, heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large heavy pot to 190 C (375 F). Add 1 to 2 pies at a time and fry until golden brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. (I'm not a health fanatic, but I couldn't quite justify deep-frying pastry. And honestly, the baked version is delicious.)

Harang spins quality start to earn first victory
Morse continues power-packed start with ninth homer of year
SEATTLE -- So this is why they traded for Aaron Harang.
The 34-year-old right-hander put to rest some of the doubts he had created over his first weeks as a Mariner by holding the Baltimore Orioles to four hits and two runs in six innings in Seattle's 8-3 victory Wednesday night, delighting 12,936 at Safeco Field.
The difference from 0-3 with an 11.37 ERA to his reassuring, first Mariners win?
Harang and pitching coach Carl Willis spent extensive hours studying film of his first three starts since an April 11 trade from Colorado. They found his front side was "flying open" too soon before he released the ball, changing the trajectory of his pitches onto a straighter, higher, far-too-dangerous plane.
"We did some towel drill work," the 34-year-old right-hander said.
It was the Little League drill of accentuating a tucked lead shoulder and a downward, flicking motion with the throwing arm by snapping towels instead of baseballs.
"Sometimes, it all goes back to stuff we were taught when we were 7-, 8-years-old. People think [mechanical changes] are something huge, a big deal. It's something usually so minor and basic that no one looks at it.
"Sometimes you go right back to the basics of throwing, period."
Harang's snappy rebound -- plus a three-hit, three-RBI night from Kendrys Morales, the first three-hit night of the season for Michael Saunders and the second-highest offensive output of the season -- gave Seattle its fifth win in seven games.
The Mariners also won their second consecutive series, following a dreadful, 1-5 trip to Texas and Houston. They had not won any of their first seven sets this season before the Angels arrived last weekend to start this buoying homestand.
"We started to head in a different direction in Houston but we weren't getting [immediate] results," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "Our guys have taken significant steps.
"What you are seeing is more of the norm of what our guys are capable of."
Michael Morse hit his ninth home run to tie for the American League lead, his third in four nights. That further backed his assertion that his broken pinkie finger on his right hand only bothers him while throwing, not hitting. Morales' two-run double in the sixth scored the seventh and eighth runs, one fewer than the nine the Mariners had scored -- while giving up 16 -- April 9 at Houston.
But the story of this night was Harang putting off concerns he could be the next castaway of Seattle's shuffling rotation.
As Wedge concluded: "He controlled the game."
On a day Blake Beavan was sent to Triple-A Tacoma after beginning the season as the No. 5 starter, Harang showed why the Mariners traded with the Rockies to have him replace Beavan.
Harang had allowed at least one run in nine of his 13 innings with Seattle. But on Wednesday he went 13 batters without allowing a hit, from a harmless, two-out double by Matt Wieters in the second inning until Manny Machado doubled off the center-field wall. Nick Markakis drove him in with a single on Harang's 84th pitch in the sixth.
Adam Jones followed Markakis with an RBI double, after the former Mariner fouled off a full-count pitch with two outs.
That was a marked contrast to Jones' previous at-bat, when Harang was cruising. In the top of the fourth, Harang had Jones pounding his bat into the dirt with a two-hand, overhead chop as he flew out to end another one-two-three inning.
Harang threw 29 of his 96 pitches in his sixth and final inning. His last pitch enticed Chris Davis, a candidate for American League player of the month with nine home runs in April, to swing over an 82-mph curveball. That stranded Jones at second and kept the Mariners ahead 5-2. It was the third strikeout for Harang on that looping breaking pitch.
"I was hoping we would do a little better job off of him," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "He was due with his track record, pitching better than he has here, so you hate that it kind of falls on you. But he had both sides of the plate. We didn't mount a whole lot."
Carter Capps pitched a scoreless seventh before allowing a home run by the impressive 20-year-old Machado in the eighth. Charlie Furbush got the final out of the eighth, closer Tom Wilhelmsen got the final outs in a non-save ninth, and the Mariners got an upbeat sendoff to just their second off-day this season, Thursday's travel day for a weekend series in Toronto.
Asked about the Mariners' vibe heading out on this trip compared to returning from the last one, Morales said "bueno" about a half dozen times.
"I feel the offense is starting to get better, the way it was in Spring Training," the No. 3 hitter said through bullpen coach and interpreter Jaime Navarro. "It's gaining more every day."

PEOPLE are being urged to take steps to help beat cyber criminals.
West Mercia Police want people to help protect themselves in cyber space, with cyber crime on the increase while traditional crimes are on the decrease.
The total financial loss reported by individuals and businesses in the force area being about £8.6 million from April 2013 to the end of March 2014, according to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau.
The equivalent figure for cyber crime in the 2013/14 financial year was about £394,000, with a peak in the amount of money lost in December due to online purchases increasing over the Christmas period.
In terms of volume, the top cyber crime type was in the category of computer virus/malware/spyware with 264 reports, followed by hacking, social media and e-mail with 148.
Barrie Sheldon, deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia, said: "Cyber crime is continuing to provide new and demanding challenges for the police service which is why we provided extra resources to West Mercia Police when setting the budget earlier in the year to more effectively address the problem.
"I would also encourage businesses and residents to know the risks and take precautions to protect themselves when they venture into cyberspace."

U-T San Diego asked four legal scholars to give their impressions of the U.S. Supreme Court's hearings this week on same-sex marriage — California's Proposition 8 on Tuesday and the federal Defense of Marriage Act on Wednesday.
The court is expected to rule in June on these cases, known as Hollingsworth v. Perry for the Proposition 8 appeal and United States v. Windsor for the Defense of Marriage Act challenge.
Professor Barbara Cox California Western School of Law, San Diego
After two days of arguments on the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act, many now believe the court will issue narrow decisions in both cases. But the court should decide whether legally married same-sex couples are entitled to over 1,100 federal rights and responsibilities, rather than having their marriages treated by the federal government as if they were "skim milk," in the words of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Additionally, as Justice Elena Kagan noted, before DOMA, the federal government never defined who was married, not wanting to decide for itself whether interracial couples, first cousins, previously divorced couples or underage couples should receive federal benefits due to widely divergent state laws. Instead, it treated all couples as married if their home state treated them as married.
The Supreme Court should rule that DOMA is unconstitutional and all same-sex couples who are legally married in their home state may receive the (federal benefits).
Professor Marybeth Herald Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego
The challengers to California's Proposition 8 and the California executive branch agreed the proposition was unconstitutional. The challenger to the federal Defense of Marriage Act and the federal executive branch agreed Section 3 of DOMA was unconstitutional.
Such unprecedented harmony, rather than ending the cases, raised more legal issues this week as the Supreme Court hosted a spirited discussion of laws that disadvantage same-sex couples. Despite the public focus on equal-protection rights, the court found itself spending a lot of time on the less exciting details of federal jurisdictional requirements.
Federalism issues, which occupied so much energy in the health-care cases last year, resurfaced as well. DOMA's interference with a state's traditional police powers to regulate marriage and child custody troubled Justice Anthony Kennedy, the "swing" justice who often is the deciding vote. If the court gets to the equal-protection issues in either case, the only safe bet is that it will not be a unanimous opinion.
Professor Douglas NeJaime Loyola Law School, Los Angeles
Tuesday in Perry, it became clear that even the justices sympathetic to the plaintiffs' case may want to avoid the merits or at a minimum rule in a very narrow way.
These less substantive resolutions would effectively bring same-sex marriage back to California, but they would avoid any ruling that directly impacts marriage bans across the country.
If the court were to reach the merits, a California-specific resolution seems most likely, since the justices seemed skeptical of both Ted Olson's case for marriage equality on a nationwide level and the U.S. solicitor general's argument that (same-sex) marriage should be required in the set of states offering domestic partnerships or civil unions.
In the Windsor argument Wednesday, the justices seemed more bothered by the law on substantive grounds. But their distinct focus on the federalism problems — the unique intervention into marriage by the federal government — suggests that they may strike down DOMA without getting to the bigger question about equal protection based on sexual orientation.
Professor Glenn Smith California Western School of Law, San Diego
Caution surrounded Tuesday's Proposition 8 hearing. Several justices were clearly troubled by the initiative's marginal rationality and its stigmatizing impacts on same-sex couples — and especially, noted key Justice Anthony Kennedy, the 40,000 children raised in same-sex families. But unelected judges often reform the law incrementally, especially when the political process is engaged in a lively debate and may provide an at-least-partial solution.
It wasn't surprising that the justices focused on the arcane question of whether Proposition 8 proponents had legal "standing" to defend the law; in a similar spirit was Kennedy's suggestion that the Court might dismiss the case without any ruling. It won't be surprising if the high court ultimately lets the lower-court invalidation of Prop. 8 stand without a Supreme Court ruling on the proposition's merits.
The court also didn't seem eager to reach the broader question of whether any state's discrimination against same-sex marriage violates the U.S. Constitution.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/5/2013 (1562 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Facing hordes of angry municipalities, flood-affected farmers and disenfranchised voters, the Selinger government took decisive action Friday to restore confidence in this province.
They asked Manitobans to choose an official fish.
This is not a joke. As Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh noted, Manitoba has an official flower, an official bird and an official tree. But in these tough economic and environmental times, the prairie crocus, great grey owl and white spruce can not handle the burden on their own.
Apparently, there are things a purple flower, a flat-faced bird and a sticky tree can not accomplish, even when they work together as a team.
Enter an official-fish campaign intended to celebrate the important role played by fish in Manitoba and the abject weirdness of the Friday-afternoon portion of the 24-hour news cycle.
From now until the end of January, you can choose an official fish, as long as it's native to the province, simply by visiting www.manitobafisheries.com and casting your vote.
You could bang the drum for freshwater drum, one of Manitoba's most abundant freshwater fish. You could pick the pickerel, although the species formally known as walleye is already the official fish of Saskatchewan and Minnesota. You could decide to make the mariah no longer a pariah.
Or you could take my advice and choose the white sucker, the fish that best exemplifies Manitoba for many reasons. Here are five:
1. Historical accuracy (Settler perspective)
In 1812, a group of Scottish settlers led by Lord Selkirk travelled by York boat to what's now Winnipeg and decided it would be a great place to farm. In 1826, their settlement was destroyed by the biggest Red River flood on record, which rose to the equivalent of 37 feet James and sent the settlers scurrying for high land at Stony Mountain and Birds Hill.
In retrospect, these Scottish settlers became the first white folks suckered into living in the Red River Valley. They were promised land and wound up with a mosquito-infested swamp.
2. Historical accuracy (Indigenous perspective)
Sometime between 1790 and 1800, a group of Anishinabe moved into what's now Manitoba and settled in the fertile fishing grounds along the Red River Valley and Netley-Libau Marsh. Under the leadership of Chief Peguis, they managed to get along with almost everybody, including the Cree, Assiniboine, European fur traders and the Selkirk settlers.
In 1817, Peguis signed a deal with Lord Selkirk to allow the settlers to live along the Red River Valley. While Peguis was reputed to believe no person could own the land, he didn't see any harm in lending a big strip of land along the Red to Selkirk, while a big rectangle of land north of Selkirk was kept in reserve for Peguis' people.
By all accounts, the settlers benefited greatly by the wisdom and generosity of Peguis. But the special relationship was forgotten after he died.
In 1907, Ottawa claimed St. Peter's reserve as its own. Peguis' descendants and their relatives were shunted up to the Fisher River area of the central Interlake, home to today's Peguis First Nation.
This still-contentious event can be described as a land grab. The white folks basically nixed a deal and sucked up some of the best agricultural land.
3. We already wear the hairstyle
The white sucker goes by many names, including its species designation, Catostomus commersonii. But most fishers simply refer to this creature as mullet.
Mullet, of course, also refers to an ignoble men's hairstyle, popularized in the 1980s, that features short bangs in the front and long, stringy locks in the back. This style has also come to be denigrated as "hockey hair" or the "ape drape" and is associated with men of dubious intelligence or grace, such as David Spade's character in 2001's Joe Dirt, one of the worst films Hollywood has ever made.
In many parts of Manitoba, the mullet has not gone extinct. Hit up the right socials, and you may even encounter the legendary she-mullet.
The mullet still makes cameo appearances in our offices, pubs and curling rinks. It is sometimes worn ironically, but often not without even the barest trace of hipsterdom.
4. The white sucker has no teeth
As a have-not province, Manitoba receives equalization payments from Ottawa. Our economy is relatively toothless, at least compared to the tar-fuelled economic monster that is Alberta or the potash-mining Rider fans of Saskatchewan.
The Canadian Football League has only eight teams. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have not won a Grey Cup since 1990. It would be fair to say the Bombers have been toothless as a franchise.
The same could have been said of the old Winnipeg Jets, who won only two playoff series during their NHL years and have not made the playoffs in their current NHL incarnation. The Jets' offence is toothless, at least when Andrew Ladd isn't on the ice.
The only Winnipeg pro-sport franchise to win a championship lately is the Winnipeg Goldeyes. The Goldeyes clearly have teeth -- as do actual goldeye, one of only a handful of fish species that have teeth coming out of their tongues. But nobody wants to name their provincial fish after a freakish creature with dentition where their taste buds are supposed to go.
Manitoba is a place where creatures without any means of biting anything can and do feel safe. For this reason alone, the white sucker should be the provincial fish.
5. The white sucker is underappreciated
Commercial fishers in Manitoba complain they get paid only 46 cents for every kilogram of white sucker they deliver. Most of this mullet gets ground up and turned into gefilte fish or some other form of fish ball. And not many people in North America are fond of fish balls.
But those very same fishers will tell you the white sucker is extremely tasty, if you don't mind dealing with the little bones when you roast it or broil it. It's apparently fantastic for canning and pickling, two old-fashioned skills most home cooks no longer possess.
The white sucker reputedly fights well when caught on the end of the line. And as a very abundant fish, it serves a vital ecological role as a food source for other species.
Manitoba is all but unknown to much of the world. To much of Canada, it serves as a punchline.
As a result, we should proudly claim the white sucker as our official fish. Let's all open our toothless mouths and suck with pride.

Records: Perkiomen School, coming off a bye, is 5-1. St. Andrew's is 4-3 following a 36-15 win over Wilmington Friends.
Inside the lines: Perkiomen School is led by running backs John Garrett (476 yards) and John Williams (342), who accumulated those numbers in five games. Andy Chen and Olivier Joseph have anchored the offensive line. Defensively, the Panthers are getting big plays up front from Chen, Paul Csordas and Mark Fisher, from linebackers Garrett, Matt Bingham and Joseph, and in the secondary from Williams. . … St. Andrew's is primarily a running team, led by 215-pound quarterback Austin Tighman (1,514 yards, 19 TDs) and Sterling Cousar (324 yards, 4 TDs). Tighman has completed just nine passes for 92 yards the entire season. Defense, which has come up with 16 turnovers, is led by linebackers Cousar (75 tackles) and Ben Kang (39) and corner William Hughes (39).
Notes: St. Andrew's leads the series, 5-1. … Perkiomen School's lone win was 24-22 in 2009. … St. Andrew's dropped its first two games and has responded with four wins in its last five outings. … Panthers, getting quality and consistent kicks from Roy Porres Suarez this fall, need a win to finish with the program's second-best record since 1999. … Perkiomen School head coach Tom Calvario: "I'm always concerned with a week off, but it's good to get some rest and recovery time. But if the last game of the season doesn't pump you up I don't know what will. We need to be aggressive, play with game speed, have a quick first step off of the ball, stay focused and play at a high tempo. Tighman is outstanding, and involved in 85 percent of their plays. Once again we will play a team that will be bigger, stronger and more athletic than us. We need to play a flawless game and execute precisely."
Records: Exeter is 4-2 in Berks Football League Section One (6-3 overall) after a 16-6 win over Pottsville. Daniel Boone is 2-4 (2-7) following a 51-19 loss to Muhlenberg.
Inside the lines: Exeter is led by Delaware recruit Kyle Yocum, who has thrown for 825 yards, run for 533, and had a hand in 18 touchdowns overall. His favorite receiver has been Alex Dundore. Matt Connelly's 825 yards and 11 touchdowns lead the run game. … Daniel Boone offense has been consistent behind quarterback J.D. Okuniewski, but the defense – hurt by even more injuries – has allowed 789 yards the last two games, both losses that knocked the Blazers out of the postseason. Team has also been generous in the turnover department, going in tonight minus-nine in takeaways.
Notes: Exeter leads the series, 31-22-1. … Daniel Boone has beaten Exeter in the two neighboring rivals' last eight meetings. … Exeter, which has scored 148 of its 234 points in the first half this season, has won four in a row. … Blazers' string of nine consecutive winning seasons was snapped earlier this year.

Records: Upper Perkiomen is 0-8 (0-9) after a 49-20 loss to Phoenixville. Pope John Paul II is 0-8 (0-9) following a 28-21 loss to Boyertown.
Inside the lines: Upper Perkiomen running back Aiden Schaffer ran for a season-high 249 yards despite not being able to finish due to leg cramps. Offensive line has shown vast improvement in recent weeks. Quarterback Dylan Wesley threw for 170 yards, pushing him within 140 of the 1,000-yard mark in his finale. Ryan Harris is among the leading receivers (24 catches). … PJP quarterback Matt Mesaros has thrown for 1,068 yards since taking over for injured James Bleming, and he has five reliable receivers in Chris Veisbergs (36 catches), Jamel Stinson (34), John Bildstein (21), Tim Tadros (18) and Alex Valeri (13). Defense is led by Justice Smith, Veisbergs, John and Josh Bildstein, and Nick Howarth.
Notes: Upper Perkiomen leads the PAC-10 and overall series, 2-0. … Kickoff is 2 p.m. … Saturday's game is both teams' final one of the season. … Tadros is questionable due to an injury. … Upper Perkiomen head coach Steve Moyer: Our big concern this week has been practice time, which has been limited because of the weather. PJP is tough defensively, and their quarterback (Mesaros) has shown steady improvement. This will be a big challenge as we finish out our season." … PJP head coach Mike Santillo: "Our big concern has been preparation because our field's been under water all week. Upper Perkiomen has had some bad luck this year as well. They're a team that hits you hard every play, spreads you out to try and take advantage of your weaknesses. They're well-coached, and come ready to play each and every week. But our kids have not given up on this season."
Records: Methacton is 4-4 (4-5) after a 45-28 win over Owen J. Roberts. Pottstown is 3-4 (4-5) following a 55-20 loss to Spring-Ford.
Inside the lines: Methacton's secondary, which has an area-high 12 interceptions thanks to leaders Kyle Lowery (three) and Cooper Given (three), will be tested. Chris He, Kyle DeSantis and Andrew DeSana are playing well up front. Offense, led by quarterback Brandon Bossard (834 yards passing, 504 running) and fullback Mike Cassidy put up a season-high 45 points last week. … Pottstown is averaging just under 30 points a game behind the area's No. 1 rated quarterback Sage Reinhart (1,695 yards), the running of Monroe Hampton (874 yards, 19 TDs), and a balanced receiving corps featuring Hampton, Antonio Moore, Denzel Harvey, Dayon Mohler and Darrius Bookard. Trojans will get a boost from the return of offensive tackle Josh Everette, who's been out since Week Three with an injury.
Notes: Methacton leads the PAC-10 and overall series, 4-0. … Kickoff is 3 p.m. ... Warriors have outscored the Trojans, 135-63, in their four meetings. … Mohler (four) and Harvey (two) have combined for six picks. … Methacton will play at Norristown next week in its final game, while Pottstown is supposed to host Great Valley, which has an outside shot to get into the District 1-AAAA playoffs. … Methacton head coach Paul Lepre: "Our reestablished goal is to be over .500 for the year, so we need a win. Pottstown has a lot of team speed, which concerns me more than anything. We have to know our responsibilities and execute to keep Pottstown from making the big plays. (Reinhart) runs the spread option so well, and he's a good passer. Defensively, it's a team that runs to the ball." … Pottstown head coach Brett Myers: "We're aware of what we need to do to get our program a winning season. But the first thing we must do is match Methacton's toughness and hard-nose play. They're a good team that really hustles every play. To me a sign of a well-coached team is improving every week, and that's what Methacton has done."
Records: Boyertown is 2-6 (2-7) after a 28-21 win over Pope John Paul II. Owen J. Roberts is 3-4 (3-6) following a 45-28 loss to Methacton.
Inside the lines: Boyertown's renewed offense has been led up front by Austin Jacobs and the running of Cody Richmond (696 yards), Matt Moccia (665) and Eric Heller (530). Quarterback Griffin Pasik has also been a pick-me-up, especially to receiver Nick Brough. The recent return of linebacker Anthony Borzillo has helped the defense, which got solid games a week ago from Gray Garber (two sacks), Brough (two interceptions), Justin Siejk (nine tackles) and Mike Murphy (eight tackles). ... OJR got hit with bad news this week, learning standout receiver Matt Raymond (31 catches, 722 yards, 11 TDs) is lost for the season with an ankle injury that reportedly required surgery. Quarterback Jarrad Pinelli is among the area leaders in 1,222 yards and 17 touchdowns throwing the ball. Wyatt Scott has run for 794. Offense got a big game from Will Bradford last week. Defensively, Kyle Raser and Jay Thomas are having solid seasons.
Notes: PAC-10 series is tied, 5-5, while Boyertown leads the overall series, 29-19-2. … Kickoff is 7 p.m. ... Garber now has five sacks and 47 tackles on the season. Siejk (58) and Tyler Zilen (48) lead the Bears in tackles. … Wildcats have been hurt with mistakes and are a minus-11 in takeaways. … Boyertown head coach Mark Scisly: "Offensively we have played well for the last five quarters because we're finally executing as a team again. Everyone is blocking and running hard. A lot of it is an increased effort as a result of us getting our confidence back against Methacton. But I've never seen an OJR team throw the ball so effectively, so their play-action passes are a big concern."

DENVER - Don Mattingly knows this won't be the last time he jogs out to right field to check on his rookie phenom.
The Dodgers manager was cautioned well in advance that Yasiel Puig has one speed - all out.
Puig's simply going to run into things, including fences.
Hanley Ramirez had four hits, including a solo homer in the ninth, to help the Dodgers hold off the Colorado Rockies 10-8 Wednesday night in a game Puig left early with a bruised left hip after his leaping catch in right field.
"He just plays like that," Mattingly said. "They kind of warned us coming up he plays like that and he's going to get hurt."
Puig reached up to rob Nolan Arenado of a hit in the fifth, only to smack his hip on a padded column below the scoreboard in right. Puig stayed down on the warning track for several minutes before jogging around the outfield and remaining in the game.
The next inning, Puig drove in a run with a sacrifice fly before being taken out when the Dodgers made a double switch. Puig, who was just named the NL player of the month, finished 1 for 3 with a double.
Team officials said a precautionary X-ray was negative and he's listed as day-to-day.
"I think he'll be able to play but we'll see," Mattingly said.
Puig has been sensational since being called up on June3, hitting .440 this season with eight homers.
And when he fell to the dirt, Dodger fans held their breath. Matt Kemp quickly rushed over to check on him, along with Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez.
Mattingly also jogged out to the outfield to see how Puig was feeling.
Earlier in the day, Puig won the National League player and rookie of the month awards. It was hardly even a contest after he hit .436 in June. His 44 hits were a Dodgers rookie record for a month.
"Now, it's getting to be where you kind of expect him to do something all the time," Mattingly said.
Juan Uribe, Gonzalez and Kemp added homers for the Dodgers, who have won 10 of their last 11 games to climb back into the thick of the NL West race.
Zack Greinke (6-2) struggled on the mound but still earned his third straight win. He gave up five runs in five innings and tied a career high with seven walks.
"I felt I did as good as I could do today," Greinke said. "It's not very good, but that's how bad it was. We played well. Tough game but we pulled it out."
Reliever Paco Rodriguez pitched 1<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>3 scoreless innings to set up Kenley Jansen, who recorded the final four outs to pick up his eighth save in 11 chances.
Every starter in the Dodgers' lineup had at least a hit, with Ramirez extending his hitting streak to 14 games on a single in the first.

Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. Mohs surgery is also known as Mohs micrographic surgery.
The goal of Mohs surgery is to remove as much of the skin cancer as possible, while doing minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Mohs surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis using a local anesthetic.
Mohs surgery is an improvement to standard surgery (local excision), which involves removing the visible cancer and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue all at once. Mohs surgery allows surgeons to verify that all cancer cells have been removed at the time of surgery. This increases the chance of a cure and reduces the need for additional treatments or additional surgery.
Mohs surgery is used to treat the most common skin cancers, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, as well as some kinds of melanoma and other more unusual skin cancers.
Mohs surgery is especially useful for skin cancers that:
As with any surgical procedure, Mohs surgery carries the risk of:
Your surgeon may recommend pain relievers after the procedure to help manage any pain.
Other complications that may result from Mohs surgery are uncommon but may include:
Mohs surgery can be technically challenging. Many dermatologists can perform Mohs surgery, since dermatologists learn about Mohs surgery in their medical training. Some Mohs surgeons have undergone specialized training — called a fellowship — to learn more about the procedure and become more proficient in Mohs surgery.
Selecting an experienced Mohs surgeon who has completed a fellowship may reduce your risk of complications or errors during surgery. Ask your doctor about his or her qualifications and experience performing Mohs surgery.
Your surgeon may recommend ways you can prepare for your surgery. You may be asked to:
Mohs surgery is done on an outpatient basis in an operating room or procedure room that has a nearby laboratory that allows the surgeon to examine the tissue after it's removed.
In most cases, the procedure lasts about four hours. But since it can be difficult to tell how extensive a skin tumor is just by looking at its surface, doctors often advise reserving the whole day for the procedure.
You likely won't have to change into a surgical gown unless the location of the tumor requires it. To prepare you for surgery, your surgeon or a nurse cleanses the area to be operated on, outlines it with a special pen and injects the area with a local anesthetic. The anesthetic numbs the skin, so you won't feel any discomfort during the procedure.
Once the anesthetic has taken effect, your surgeon uses a scalpel to remove the visible portion of the cancer along with a thin, underlying layer of tissue that's slightly larger than the visible tumor. A temporary bandage is placed on your incision. This takes only a few minutes.
The surgeon then takes this tissue to the laboratory for analysis. This portion of the procedure typically takes the longest amount of time.
Expect to wait about an hour or so in a waiting room for the surgeon to return. It may help to bring a book or magazine to pass the time. You'll be able to use the restroom or have a snack, if you need to, but you won't be able to leave the surgeon's office until the procedure is complete.
While you're waiting, the surgeon or technician cuts the tissue sample into sections and examines them with a microscope. Your surgeon takes great care to keep track of the exact spot where each piece of tissue was removed. That way, if a small area of cancer is found in one piece of tissue, the surgeon knows precisely where to continue with the surgery.
If cancer remains, your Mohs surgery will continue. Your surgeon removes an additional layer of tissue from the affected area, taking care to remove tissue that contains cancer while leaving as much healthy tissue as possible intact. Again, you'll wait while the surgeon examines the tissue in the laboratory.
The process is repeated until the last tissue sample removed is cancer-free. Local anesthetic can be re-administered as necessary.
After all of the cancer has been removed, you and your surgeon can decide on how to repair the wound. Depending on the extent of the operation, this might include:
If the surgical area is extensive or complex, your surgeon may temporarily close your wound and then refer you to another surgeon for reconstructive surgery to repair the wound.
One of the advantages of Mohs surgery is that you know your results right away and you usually don't leave your appointment until all of the skin cancer has been removed. You may have a follow-up visit with your surgeon or referring doctor to monitor your recovery to make sure your wound is healing properly.
Though Mohs surgery has a high rate of cure for skin cancer, you will always have a small risk of cancer recurrence or of developing another skin cancer.
People who have been diagnosed with skin cancer have an increased risk of developing skin cancer again, compared with people who have never had skin cancer. As many as half of the people diagnosed with the most common types of skin cancer will develop another skin cancer again within five years.
Plan to undergo regular follow-up visits with your skin doctor or family doctor to spot any new skin cancer. Ask your skin doctor to create a follow-up schedule for you. How often you'll undergo follow-up skin exams depends on your diagnosis. Expect to have skin exams at least once or twice a year, and more often if your cancer was aggressive or is more likely to recur.

Iwo Jima Flag Raiser
February 23, 1945 — Iwo Jima, Japan
Rene Gagnon carried the American flag up Mount Suribachi and hoisted it into place with his five comrades. The youngest of the six men, only 18, Rene was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, on March 7, 1925. Before he enlisted, Rene worked in a New Hampshire textile mill. He joined the Marine Corps Reserves on March 6, 1943, and was stationed with the 2nd Battalion, 28th Marine Regiment during the Battle of Iwo Jima. Rene survived the battle and returned to the U.S. with Ira Hayes and John Bradley, the other survivors of the flag-raising group, to serve with the 7th War Loan Drive, a publicity tour to raise money and morale. While Ira Hayes never recovered emotionally from his combat experience, and John Bradley succeeded in rebuilding his life, Rene's recovery after the war was somewhere in between. Rene married, but struggled with alcohol and unemployment. He never felt comfortable with the fame and attention he received, believing he had only followed orders. When he died of a heart attack in 1979, he was working as a janitor in a tourist home. Rene Gagnon is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, the closest flag raiser to the Marine Corps War Memorial for Iwo Jima.

October 29: PIJIP Recap of Kirtsaeng v. Wiley
Room 603
Supap Kirtsaeng helped to finance his doctorate in mathematics at the University of Southern California by having friends and family send him copies of textbooks sold at a lower price in Thailand and the selling them in the United States. Although these books were lawfully purchased in Thailand, Kirtsaeng was sued by John Wiley & Sons for copyright infringement.
In this case, the Supreme Court revisits the relationship between the Copyright Act's limits on importation of a copyrighted work without permission and the first sale doctrine. The Court divided evenly over this issue in a 2010 case pitting Costco against Omega.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments the morning of October 29. PIJIP is pleased to welcome Counsel of Record for both parties along with counsel for amici Costo and Omega to discuss the case and the argument.

I've had many discussions on this forum and I think it would be best for me to learn JS. I wanted to know the best resources to learn. I learn better with video tutorials and my examples. I learn HTML 10-years back through a website called davesite, and it did wonders to me, back then w3c was not very big, if it was at all there.
I think this would be a good stating place for people to learn JavaScript and learn what we embarrassed should have known in the beginning.
Kind regards,Sega
Some links:
Also, we had a SitePoint course awhile ago that was very good. I think the course has moved over to learnable.com. I do recommend it and video tutorials are also included.
I really like the http://www.codecademy.com/, it's pretty amazing! I am going to go through that a couple of times. See how it get's on. I think I have a Sitepoint book somewhere on JS, I think I will get that out and practice too.
I also found this awesome video tutorials set for FREE - http://thenewboston.org/, pretty amazing. =) Trying to keep on topic, why would we use JS. I used to use it in the days of form validation. jQuery is more for animation, if I am correct, and JS was more for form validation. This is a little confusing.
jQuery has a very nice validation plugin that goes with it. The purpose of jQuery is to help deal with browser incompatibilities for you, so that you can get on with doing stuff.
That's not to say that you should use the jQuery library in preference though. But if you already have jQuery available then it makes sense to make good use of what it can offer.
I will, would you say it's a good idea to learn JS before JQuery? I know many use jQuery without JS knowledge. I prefer to do things the right way.
I took a quick look and while it does an okay job, there are some issues.
For example with the video that I looked at, #27 on adding methods to objects.
He creates a constructor function but fails to follow the standard convention of capitalising the first letter in its name.There's also a matter of semantics going on here too though. The constructor is used to create a single person, so it should be called Person instead of people.
function people(name, age){ // should be Person instead of people
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
Later on he adds this method to the constructor.
function yearsLeft(){
var numYears = 65 - this.age;
return numYears;
There's no need to declare that variable in that function, since it doesn't add anything more to our understanding of what's going on.Instead, the function would do better by being renamed, and just returning the result of the calculation itself.
function yearsToRetirement(){
return 65 - this.age;
A new problem is that he sets a constructor property to that yearsLeft function from within the constructor itself, when that is better done as a part of the prototype instead. As things currently are, the functions are globally exposed, and every new person will have a new reference to that yearsLeft function. When placing a method on an objects prototype, there is only the one version of that function to worry about.
And he uses document.write() to display information. Aargh!
I'm sorry, that's just from one 8 minute lesson.
Better code would be:
function Person(name, age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
Person.prototype.retirementAge = 65;
Person.prototype.yearsToRetirement = function () {
return this.retirementAge - this.age;
var natalie = new Person('Natalie Portman', 28);
window.alert(natalie.name + ' retires in ' + natalie.yearsToRetirement() + ' years.');
It's free ^.^ and hopefully it will get me to the level needed to understand many concepts.
jQuery is JavaScript. Would you rather use a taxi instead of your own vehicle? It's a similar comparison.With a taxi you don't have to worry as much about how things get done. You instead give some idea of what you want to achieve, and things are done for you. It's at a cost though, because jQuery can be a large amount of code that's loaded up, with which to achieve what can be done in just a fraction of its size.
Thanks for the comparison.
I am still struggling to understand where you would use JS in your website. I use WordPress and it's working well with me. Most of the things I do involve getting ready made scripts, plug-ins or templates. Where would you use JavaScript?
I was thinking maybe in the custom fields, so you could have something calculate and do something based on that. I think probably this is the best way to use JS in conjunction with WordPress.
That's the good thing about JavaScript. If you don't have a need to use it, then you just don't use it.It's preferable to not use JavaScript if you don't need to, than to use it if you don't have a need.

What's CO2 Got To Do With It?
"What's CO2 Got To Do With It?" by Longzhu Shen
Dates of Installation: 05-01-2012 through 05-31-2012
Photo by Steve Ellington
Sculpted by chemistry graduate student Longzhu Shen, the installation uses environmentally-friendly lighting to illustrate the rise and fall of carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere over the past 800,000 years. Shen hopes that it draws attention to the unprecedented rise in carbon dioxide levels since the Industrial Revolution and stimulates public discussion about sustainability.
"If you look back over 800,000 years, the carbon dioxide level fluctuated between 172 and 292 parts per million (ppm). It never passed 300ppm," Shen said. "But the current level is about 393ppm. That is really, really striking evidence for people to consider how our behavior can impact nature and what changes need to be made toward a sustainable future."The installation comprises six 33-feet-long solar-powered LED ropes that glow a brilliant blue at nighttime. Shen and his artwork faculty sponsor, Research Professor of Chemistry Mark Bier, came up with the idea to piece together the LED ropes to recreate a graph of carbon dioxide fluctuation. Shen downloaded the CO2 data gathered from ice cores in Antarctica and used the computer program Mathmatica to scale the data to best fit the dimensions of the fence. Each dip and climb in carbon dioxide concentration that appears on the 68 feet of fence is as scientifically accurate as he could fasten the LED rope using nearly 500 tie wraps.

If Allah helps you, no one can vanquish you. If He forsakes you, who can help you after that? So the believers should put their trust in Allah. (Surah Al 'Imran: 160)
We are told in the following verse of the Qur'an that Allah certainly helps those who help Him: "You who believe! Remember Allah's blessing to you when certain people were on the verge of raising their hands against you and He held their hands back from you. Heed Allah. The believers should put their trust in Allah." (Surat al-Ma'ida: 11)
So they [Pharaoh and his army] pursued them towards the east. And when the two hosts came into sight of one another Musa's companions said, "We will surely be overtaken!" He said, "Never! My Lord is with me and He will guide me." (Surat ash-Shu'ara': 60-62)
"Those to whom people said, 'The people have gathered against you, so fear them.' But that merely increased their faith and they said, 'Allah is enough for us and [He is] the Best of Guardians." (Surah Al 'Imran: 173)
Be moderate in your tread and lower your voice. The most hateful of voices is the donkey's bray. (Surah Luqman: 19)
He has made night and day subservient to you, and the Sun and Moon and stars, all subject to His command. There are certainly Signs in that for people who use their intellect. (Surat An-Nahl, 12 )
And the Sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. (Surah Ya Sin, 38)
According to fossils, fish emerged some 470 million years ago. The Cœlacanth emerged 60 million years after that. It is astonishing that this creature, which would be expected to possess very primitive features, actually has a most complex structure.
The Cœlacanth, which has been in existence for more than 400 million years, is a fish that represents a terrible quandary for evolutionists. The fact the Cœlacanth has not changed at all over the course of 400 years refutes the claim that living things emerged through evolution and are descended from one another. The 145-million-year-old Cœlacanth fossil shown above once again reveals the profound gulf between land and sea animals, which evolutionists seek to link to one another through an imaginary process of transition.
Adam is described in the Qur'an as being created from earth, and the majority of Muslims believe that Adam and Eve existed in Paradise before coming to Earth. That is why the theory of evolution is seldom taught in Muslim countries. Even in France the great majority of young Muslims share that view and make the following statement when they learn about the theory of evolution in schools: "I AM WRITING WHAT THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION SAYS HERE, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE COURSE DEMANDS, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE IT…"
Moving on to the subject of Creationism… HARUN YAHYA, the famous Turkish author of the Atlas of Creation distributed in France… THE GLOBAL LEADER OF MUSLIM CREATIONISM…
An Islamic view to the effect that many scientific discoveries are written in the Qur'an has emerged in an intensive manner. One can come across such statements in French and English on the television, in books and on web sites. These popular opinions attract the interest of the young in particular… One senior political figure made the following statement during a conference in Algeria: "A significant number of researchers and scientists agree that their findings are also to be found in the Qur'an."
Rather We hurl the truth against falsehood and it cuts right through it and it vanishes clean away! Woe without end for you for what you portray! Everyone in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Those in His presence do not consider themselves too great to worship Him and do not grow tired of it. (Surat al-Anbiya', 18-19)
Period: Eocene
Location: Poland
… and also toward the three who were left behind, so that when the land became narrow for them, for all its great breadth, and their own selves became constricted for them and they realized that there was no refuge from Allah except in Him , He turned to them so that they might turn to Him. Allah is the Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful. (Surat at-Tawba, 118)
O mankind! An example has been given, so listen carefully. Those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot even create a single fly, even if they were to join together to do it. And if a fly steals something from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are both the seeker and the sought! (Surat al-Hajj, 73)
Say: "Who rescues you from the darkness of the land and sea? You call on Him humbly and secretly: "If you rescue us from this, we will truly be among the thankful.'" (Surat al-An'am, 63)
Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allah that cannot be turned back. On that Day, you will have no hiding place and no means of denial. (Surat ash-Shura, 47)
What He Said
RFA (Radio Free Asia), June 14-2008
Adnan Oktar: There is only one union. That is the Turkish-Islamic Union. It rests on the most perfect, most splendid, powerful and credible foundations. This is a just union acceptable to and including everyone. It will defend Armenians within the Turkish-Islamic Union. And Israelis and Jews. And Buddhists. And atheists. It will protect and embrace them all… The Turkish-Islamic Union needs to be sped up... It has to be really accelerated …This will also allow Israel to relax. It will mean the immediate end to all the conflict in the region. Because, as you know, Palestine is suffering; but Israel is suffering, too, and there is the ever-present possibility of a bomb dropping on their heads. Israel lives behind walls. They are literally prisoners. But they have made themselves prisoners. They have locked themselves behind walls. Let us tear those walls down. Let commercial vehicles roll up there. Let busses and lorries go there. Let ships go, by sea. Let things be made easier… You can do it with love and friendship...
What Happened
Daily Milli Gazete, June 19-2008
"Islamic Union Is the Only Way to Put a Halt to Oppression"
What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of Allah for those men, women and children who are oppressed and say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from You!"? (Surat An-Nisa, 75)

South Texas Rancher Named Top Land Steward of 2004
AUSTIN, Texas — Rene R. Barrientos took an old, worn out 8,000-acre ranch along the Nueces River in LaSalle County that was suffering from overgrazing and extensive farming and in less than 10 years converted it into a conservation showplace. For his efforts on the La Golondrina Ranch, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department named Barrientos the state's top Lone Star Land Steward for 2004.
The award was announced at a May 26 reception recognizing Barrientos and 11 other owners and managers of ranches and other properties for their innovative and ecologically sound management of wild habitats.
Now in its ninth year, the Lone Star Land Steward Awards recognize private landowners' ability to integrate traditional land uses that produce meat, agricultural crops and outdoor recreation opportunities with habitat management and wildlife conservation, natural resource education of youth and outreach to other groups, and partnerships with natural resource agencies.
"I think recognition of the ranch, not necessarily the individual, bears testament to Parks and Wildlife, especially their technical guidance program, which assists landowners," said Barrientos. "It's not Parks and Wildlife that sets the goals, but they work with the landowners to set objectives in designing a plan that's not species-specific, but it helps everything in improving the habitat."
Barrientos said he sees himself as a student of land stewardship and takes his responsibility for the land seriously. "It's not a hobby, it's a lifelong interest and something I really wanted to learn," he said.
When Barrientos purchased the property in 1995, it was described by some longtime LaSalle County residents as "an old worn out ranch" comprised of about 1,800 acres of extensively farmed cultivated lands and about 6,200 acres of heavily overgrazed rangeland. The previous owners relied almost exclusively on water from the Nueces River to support the ranching and farming operations.
Since 1996, Barrientos has worked with TPWD technical guidance biologists to implement a wildlife management plan on the ranch that meets his goals as a landowner, while providing quality habitat for wildlife.
By removing cattle initially to allow the vegetation to recover and constructing an extensive network of cross fences, Barrientos is now able to support a cattle operation with a deferred rotational grazing system that does not degrade the habitat.
He also made improvements to the primary water well on the property, drilled a second well and constructed more than three dozen stock tanks and wildlife watering sites fed by more than 20 miles of PVC pipe. Now, animals aren't forced to concentrate around a select few water sources.
"Nothing has to travel more than a quarter mile for water," Barrientos noted. "We don't necessarily want more animals, we just want to improve the quality of the habitat for the animals. We amazingly see mountain lions; we have native white-tailed deer, lots of bobcat, all forms of game birds, coyotes and badgers."
Among the other habitat management regimes Barrientos has incorporated include: prescribed burns covering between 1,800 and 2,500 acres annually, allowing about 1,100 acres of cultivated land to re-vegetate with perennial grasses and forbs, and enrolling about nine miles of the Nueces River bottom into the Riparian Buffer Initiative of the Natural Resources Conservation Service's Continuous Conservation Reserve Program to protect this unique habitat.
Barrientos has also been actively involved in wildlife management practices on the ranch. He is a member of TPWD's White-tailed Deer Advisory Committee and his white-tailed deer management efforts have netted more than two dozen bucks whose antler dimensions would qualify for TPWD's Big Game Awards Program and two taken last season that meet Boone & Crockett Club minimum scores.
By declaring the ranch a life estate, he has ensured that this property will not be subdivided or fragmented in anyway by future generations, and sets as a priority the preservation, conservation, and management of quality wildlife habitat.
Other recipients of this year's Lone Star Land Steward Awards for outstanding land practices in their region include:
- Rolling Plains — Aiken Ranch L. P., Don and Ed Aiken owner and operator, Fisher County.
- Edwards Plateau — Buckhollow Ranch, Jack and Jan Cato owners, Uvalde and Real Counties.
- Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes — Weinheimer Brothers Interest, Ed Weinheimer III and Steve Weinheimer, owners, Wharton County.
- High Plains — Frost and Leland Sandhills Ranch, June Leland Wildlife Foundation, Yoakum County.
- Cross Timbers — Klondike Ranch, Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Boeckman owners, and Jerry and Glenda Miller, operators, Johnson County.
- Pineywoods — Johnson River Bottom Ranch, Cliff Johnson, owner, Anderson County.
- Post Oak Savannah — Sonny D Ranch, Jim and Deborah Godwin, owners and Terry Schulze, operator, Caldwell County.
- South Texas — Barnhart Q5 Ranch, John N. Barnhart, owner and Claire Barnhart, operator, Goliad County.
- Trans Pecos — Maurin Ranch, Mark Maurin, owner, Terrell County.
Two additional properties were recognized in special categories for their achievements:
- Corporate — Monticello Mines, TXU Mining owner, John Denman, operator, Titus and Hopkins counties.
- Wildlife Management Association — Oakridge Ranch Wildlife Management Association, Jim Trickett, president, Colorado County.
The Natural Resources Foundation of Texas, LCRA, Texas Wildlife Association, Texas Farm Bureau and the following banks help support the Lone Star Land Steward Awards through financial sponsorships: Farm Credit Bank of Texas, Capital Farm Credit, Heritage Land Bank, Southwest Texas Land Bank, AgriLand Farm FCS, Texas AgFinance, AgTexas FCS, Great Plains Ag Credit, and Ag Credit of South Texas.

Sanitation is a fly-control method that works well for calf raisers and has the biggest economic return, says Ann Hoskins, Vita Plus calf products coordinator.
In the April 2013 Vita Plus Starting Strong Calf Care E-newsletter, Hoskins stresses the need to be proactive about cleanliness and sanitation. She also discusses the different species of flies that pester dairy animals, as well as products that are useful for fly control around calves.
Keep these points in mind as you start your fly-control program:
- Keep feeding areas and equipment clean.
- Keep starter and water fresh.
- Minimize the spilling of starter, water and milk around feeding areas.
- Keep bedding clean and dry.
- Cut down weeds near calves and heifers.
- Remove excess bedding and manure immediately after the calf has left the hutch or pen.
- Do not store manure near the calf area.
- Manage fly control in every animal area on the farm.
For more information, read "Fly Control Starts Now"

Private Peter V. Carlino - Battle of the Bulge, WWII
24 December 1944 — Marche, Belgium
Private Peter Vincent Carlino -
Company I, 3rd Battalion, 334th Infantry Regiment,
84th Infantry Division, 9th U.S. Army
--Killed in Action December 24, 1944--
Trained in Camp Howze, Texas and Camp Claiborne, Louisiana, 1944. Embarked from Brooklyn Navy Yard 9/20/44 aboard the U.S. Army Transport Barry. Disembarked at Southampton, England and assembled near Winchester on 10/10/44. Embarked for France 10/31/44. Landed on Omaha Beach on 11/1/44. On 11/5/44 moved to Dreaux, France. On 11/8/44 arrived at Witterm, Holland.
Baptism of fire and first action 11/18/44. Mission to take Prummern, a strong point in the Siegfried Line. Action lasted until 12/18/44. The 334th Infantry Regiment sustained heavy losses in this action. On 12/20/44 the 334th Infantry Regiment was deployed to the Marche-Hotten Sector (Belgium). 12/24/44 I Company, 334th Infantry Regiment was on a ridge overlooking the vital Marche-Hotten Road. Because it had suffered heavy losses, without replacement, I Company's foxholes were about 150 yards apart. During the night of 12/23-24, more than 100 Germans had infiltrated through I Company's lines, capturing Lt. Norman Seadensticker, T/Sgt. Ray Owen, and PFCs Edward Prince and Oscar Delgado. The Germans were well concealed in the woods behind I Company's lines. The German plan was to attack I Company from the rear and with a frontal assault at 1500 hours (3:00 PM). Unknown to the Germans, K company, 334th Infantry and 3 tanks had been assigned the task of attacking and destroying the German position behind I Company's position. By coincidence, K Company was to attack at 1500 hours. The 16th Panzer Regiment of the 116th Panzer Division, 5th Panzer Army, Army Group B, launched a frontal assault against I company at 1500 hours 12/24/44, overrunning I Company's positions with tanks and infantry. It was in this action that Peter was killed. His machine gun position took a direct hit from a "88", fired from a German tank. The German drive stalled and was finally stopped, and on Christmas Eve the line was thoroughly secured. K Company supported by the artillery of the 84th Division thoroughly destroyed the Germans who had infiltrated through Company I's lines. They found the four missing men that had been captured by the Germans. They were in good condition and reported that they had been treated well. What was left of Company I was reorganized a few days later. The 116th Panzer Division failed to break through the 334th Infantry Regiment's lines, and the vital Marche-Hotten Road remained securely in the hands of the 334th and 335th Infantry Regiments of the 84th Infantry Division.
The 116th Panzer Division (Greyhounds) was commanded by Major General Siegfried Von Waldenburg. The 84th Infantry Division (Railsplitters) was commanded by Major General Bolling.
